Serving and Protecting! German Shepherds make Great Shepherds with Your Family and in Law Enforcement
German Shepherds are known for their intelligence, obedience, and temperaments. They are strong, athletic, and have an abundance of energy. They’re fast, able to take down criminals, and they’re happy to work for long periods of time. In short, German Shepherds are prized for their intelligence, obedience, and temperaments1.

German Shepherds are not only good for law enforcement work they make good family dogs because of their protective instinct. Protecting you and your family comes natural for them. If well-treated, they become loyal and affectionate to their family. They can also be great with children if given proper socialization and training2.
German Shepherds are one of the most active dog breeds working today. They serve as police dogs in airports, subway stations, and even Times Square3. German Shepherds are calm and collected with an unparalleled dedication to love and protect their human or the entire family unit (including kids and feline siblings)4.
I remember playing hide and seek as a child. It was a fun and easy game. We would turn our faces against a tree or in a corner if we were in the house and count to a certain number. Everyone would scatter like rabbits looking for a place to hide. As the count got closer and closer to the end where you would start looking, many would panic and pick a not-so-good place to hide. It was so fun finding everyone or hiding and waiting. Sometimes I would just start laughing as I hid and waited for them to find me because I knew I would scare them and they would be startled.
There were also times when you played with people who could hide really well. Looking back, I bet they must have thought about “how they could hide when they played hide and seek” all the time and planned it out. They would probably have a YouTube channel today telling people “How to hide where they can never find you in Hide & Seek.” Everyone would get tired of looking for those that hid like this and would eventually just stop playing the game.
Did you know that God, in a similar way, likes to play hide and seek with us? He will conceal Himself or a matter just so we can search for Him. Solomon explains it really well in Song of Solomon how the bride desperately went out to find her Beloved Who had gone from her chambers. He was just there; the room smelled like the Bridegroom, but now he is gone. She did not say “Oh well”; no, she ran after Him. She was not going to give up. Guess what? She found Him! God does not hide from us in a way we cannot find Him; He hides in a way to see IF WE WILL GO LOOK FOR HIM!
When God shows up, most people do not even care. Others care, but they are not willing to stop their lives for Him. But there are those who rejoice and run after Him because their Beloved Bridegroom Jesus has shown Himself. Then He pulls back just to see, will we come after Him? Will we believe Him for more?
“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.” Proverbs 25:2
“I will get up and roam the city, searching in all its streets and squares. I will search for the One I love.” So, I searched everywhere but did not find Him. The watchmen stopped me as they made their rounds, and I asked, “Have you seen The One I love?” Then scarcely had I left them when I found My Love!” Song of Solomon 3:2-4. You see, it is not about hiding where we cannot find Him, but pulling away to see if we will come after Him, our Beloved.
“You are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession.” 1 Peter 2:9
Our Beloved has shown Himself at Asbury University just as He said He would to me and many others. He has shown His glory. He told me, “It will be the 70’s again!” In the 1970’s God’s glory covered the earth and shocked the nations and the “established church.” He was the One Who was and still is in charge.
Now it is for us to go after Him and seek Him while He might be found! Isaiah 55:6.
I want to encourage you to be the one who seeks the Lord, His presence, His glory. Many will show up after He has come, but few will seek Him with anticipation like the bride in the Song of Solomon, knowing that He will show up and pour out His glory upon us. You will have to fight against being caught up in distractions and the demands of others who want to distract you with nonsense. You may encounter abuse from others who are driven by darkness to keep you from finding Him, just as the bride did in the Song of Solomon. You will have to fight the spirit of this age oppression, depression, distraction, tunnel vision including the temptation to look back at Sodom and Gomorrah as it is being judged by God. You may look foolish in the eyes of those who do not believe in God, but it is only His eyes that matter. “I will not rest until I find my Beloved,” declared the bride in the Song of Solomon.
God is the only answer to today’s serious, global, and rebellious problems. He is getting ready to make that last trumpet call to bring His Son’s Bride home, where we will meet Him in the air. Get, get, get, get ready, get ready, get ready, Jesus is coming!
We had prayed for and believed in revival at Brownsville, but we had no idea that Father’s Day 1995 would be the moment God began to pour out His glory. If someone had asked us what revival was, we would not have been able to tell you. We would have said something, but the truth is, we were ignorant about how our God loves us and desired to pour out His glory presence. Steve Hill knew God would show up, we did not. Steve Hill wanted us to stay so he could pray, we wanted to leave at the time we always did. But Steve Prayed and God Came in like a flood of His glory sweeping us off our feet. Yes we still walked, talked and worked, but it was like we were floating and focused only on our Beloved as we did. When He showed up, then and only then, could we explain what revival is. Revival is God showing up, period! It is God!
“There is something about believing in God that will cause Him to pass over a million people to be with the one who believes in Him.” – Smith Wigglesworth.
Will you believe in Him? Will you believe in Him for more of His glory? Will you go after Him and seek Him while He may be found?
I encourage you to allow the song “Revival’s in The Air” to sink down into your spirit until you declare it, decree it, and expect it! He is looking back to see if we will not be satisfied without Him! I have attached two version of Revival’s in the Air: one with lyrics and one with a life
Prophecy has been a topic of interest for many people throughout history, and the website GregLancaster.org/Torch has a wealth of information on the subject. Here are the top five most viewed prophecies on the website and a summary of what each one is telling us.
“The Coming Storm of Violence“: This prophecy speaks of a time when violence will escalate throughout the world, leading to chaos and unrest. It warns of a time when people will turn against each other, and we must be prepared for the coming storm.
“The Coming Great Awakening“: This prophecy speaks of a time when a great spiritual awakening will take place, bringing people closer to God and leading to a revival of faith throughout the world. It speaks of a time when people will turn to God and seek His guidance.
“The Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones“: This prophecy speaks of a time when God will bring new life to those who are spiritually dead. It speaks of a time when people will be renewed in their faith and will rise up to do great things for God.
“Angel Warns America! Will Your State Burn“: The article discusses the idea that the rise of nations like Russia and China in the world’s stage could be a result of God using them to bring judgment against America. It refers to a prophetic encounter experienced by Romanian evangelist Dumitru Duduman, in which God revealed that certain states in America would burn. The author draws parallels between the warnings given to Israel in the Bible and the current situation in America, suggesting that the Lord may be warning the Church in America of its rebellious ways before judgment. The article invites the reader to watch a program discussing these ideas in more depth, including a prophetic dream Duduman received from the Lord regarding the last days.
“The Coming Reformation“: This prophecy speaks of a time when a great reformation will take place within the church, leading to a renewed focus on God and a return to the fundamentals of faith. It speaks of a time when the church will be purified and made ready for the return of Christ.
In conclusion, these top five prophecies from GregLancaster.org/Torch all share a common theme of spiritual awakening, renewal, and preparation for the future. While some speak of dark times to come, they all offer hope and encouragement for those who put their trust in God. By being aware of these prophecies, we can be better prepared for what is to come and draw closer to God in the process.

Update 04.13.23 Secretary Yellen FORCED to Admit “Silicon Valley Bank’ FAILURE was BENEFICIAL to Big Banks. The Federal Reserve’s Actions with Big Bank Failures threatens small community banks. Depositors are moving their funds from community banks to large banks ‘If you go to one of our preferred banks, we will cover your losses. It’s happening because you are fully insured when you are at a big bank, not in a community bank.’ . Senator James Langford and Secretary of the Federal Reserve Bank Yellen. What Yellen’s testimony before congress for full details.
Update 03.21.23 FedNow! Federal Reserve Preparing to Take Over the the Dollar with Digital Dollar?
“THE FIRST COUNTRY THAT GOES BANKRUPT…the first country that bellies up you get every dime you have – church get your money out of the bank because YOU’VE GOT TWO WEEKS because there’s going to be a bank holiday and you won’t be able to get a dime for six months.” David Wilkerson, prophet, and pastor. I will share more of David Wilkerson’s prophetic word on United States banks crashing. As well as the prophetic dream given to prophet Chris Reed about what he says the Lord showed him what will be taking place to the United States Dollar.
Two banks having collapsed, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank [third biggest bank failure in U. S. History] and now the Bonds Market is threatened to crash, which is bigger than the United States Stock Market and is the world’s largest market, Robert Kiyosaki says on Fox business March 13, 2023. More of what Kiyosaki said will be shared later in this article.
March 6, “At 1:00 a.m. on Monday, March 6, 1933 President Roosevelt issued Proclamation 2039 ordering the suspension of all banking transactions, effective immediately. He had taken the oath of office only thirty-six hours earlier.
The terms of the presidential proclamation specified that “NO SUCH BANKING INSTITUTION OR BRANCH SHALL pay out, export, earmark, or permit the withdrawal or transfer in any manner or by any device whatsoever, of any gold or silver coin or bullion or currency or take any other action which might facilitate the hoarding thereof; nor shall any such banking institution or branch pay out deposits, make loans or discounts, deal in foreign exchange, transfer credits from the United States to any place abroad, or TRANSACT ANY OTHER BANKING BUSINESS WHATSOEVER.”
We are not able to give anyone any financial advice, nor do we support those who are contributors to this article in the financial advice they are giving. We are posting this only because we are seeking prophetic insight. What did say, or is God saying anything about the financial market and America’s economy?
Why would the U. S. Government declare a “bank holiday” like President Roosevelt issued March 6, 1933? The reason is to prevent a bank run. When people panic that their money will no longer be safe in their bank, they “run” to their “bank” and withdraw all their money. Hence, a bank run. What are the banks and the government solution to a bank run, closing your banks access [the doors to your bank] to keep you from getting access to any of your money. They write about this in the small print of your banking agreement. Every bank and savings and loan are reported to have an action plan the moment they see a “run on their bank” or the government calls a “bank holiday.”
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, but God’s Kingdom is forever! When the kingdoms of this world do well, or do bad, the Kingdom of God continues forward. It is God Himself, Who determines if a nation will rise, or if a nation will fall so it is to Him and Him alone we should seek for the life of our nation. This article is not a fear stoking article, nor a “everything-is-fine” article, it is just a word in due season.
There was a day someone would steal all the gold in a nation to take it down and bring it into servitude, but thanks to President Richard Nixon removing the U. S. Dollar from the “Gold Standard” where every dollar was backed by gold it is now backed by oil, OPEC, the energy blood that every nation needs to survive and thrive. Which means how to destroy America has changed. The Lord showed me in a prophetic dream about Richard Nixon, China and some U. S. Congress members as it appears they have all been working a global war of greed against the United States of America for world hegemony, but not so fast. It appeared the Lord showed me that He sees their schemes and plans to bring justice to them all. What we have been witnessing over the last approximately 36 months was a war on energy, a war on oil. Stop the use of fossil fuels they shout from the education mountain, media mountain, entertainment mountain, government mountain and every mountain they can proclaim it from. That is like saying “destroy all the gold” when the U. S. Dollar was backed by the Gold Standard. Their attack on energy, on oil, is a direct attack on the American economy, the U. S. Dollar being the world’s international reserve currency. It is attacking America! Like a body that has no blood is dead, a nation without energy is dead. They are making promises that they know alternative options currently are not able to deliver on, yet they continue. Why? It’s a war on America, a nation founded on Judeo Christian principles which those who seek to destroy America call as just part of “Western Civilization.” You see they feel America has always been in their way, and the God of America, which the Bible is even quoted in the U. S. Constitution itself, is in the way. Their war is against God. That is why you see every law of God being broken everywhere they can break them. They desire to break America away from God and from the United States Constitution and its international reserve currency status. Sieging America as other nations have been seized in history. Yes, they are making a play for world dominance, hegemony.

It appears that those in power, led by the White House, are seeking to establish a digital currency in America of which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York gave it a three month trial run in November of 2022 while everyone was enjoying their Thanksgiving with their families.
What are the pluses and minuses of a digital currency? It all depends on who is leading our government and if the United States Constitution is still intact. It has undergone great damage during the last four years with no end in sight of when they plan to stop violating its laws. Those who understand prophecy know that there will be a beast economy that will go into place in the last days that will prevent anyone from buying or selling without its permission. Digital currency is a perfect tool to control such a huge undertaking. The knobs of economy power will be in the hands of potentially a secretary of treasure or President of the United States, or the corporations who hollowed out the soul of a president and fill them with their own greed for power and control as spoken also in the book of Revelation. Imagine having the supply of oxygen for someone’s life. You can turn it on or off at your pleasure. If you like what they are doing, you can turn it on. If you do not like what they are doing you can cut it down or off. To keep from focusing too much of this article on a digital economy, that is a fast way to explain what a digital economy will be like. I do want to say, the Lord showed me a vision, which I shared on our television program, that all the paper money on the earth will be removed and will go up in flames, which leaves us with the digital currency that will more than likely follow as was spoken of in the Bible in Revelation. This means, God knew this day was coming! When you are speaking about the economy being taken over by a few, you are talking about servitude of the nations people. It would mean the loss of our freedom.
David Wilkerson says in his prophetic warning, “Now I’ve had visions recently for I’ve been in New York City, and I was in Macy’s in a vision and I saw people walking around stunned because they couldn’t get their money out of the bank. Now I’m going to give you a word of advice. The first country that goes bankrupt, and I’ve documented this and I’ve got it sealed in an envelope and I’m going to call all my friends and I’m telling you – this is the first time I’ve said it in a public meeting like this – but the first country that bellies up you get every dime you have – church get your money out of the bank because you’ve got two weeks because THERE’S GOING TO BE A BANK HOLIDAY and you won’t be able to get a dime for six months. Now of course, there is going to be order restored, but the nation will never be like it is again. There is going to be fear like we’ve never known. Judgment is at the door! “When I was at Macy’s department store in a vision and I watched people walking around stunned. They didn’t even know what to do. They didn’t know what was happening. Then a bunch of young people walked into Macy’s and suddenly went wild and began to steal. Within an hour everybody, I saw their sprit, everybody in that store = and they were robbing and stealing. They raped Macy’s and destroyed all five floors of Macy’s. It was raped and ruined in a period of an hour or two. THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING.”
I shared a prophetic message and many words about Prudent Preparation which will be helpful in filling in all the holes in your understanding and most importantly how and why to prepare at PrudentPreperation.org.

United States Bond Market possibly about to fail? Robert Kiyosaki says. “I called Lehman Brothers [failure] years ago and he then names what he thinks is the next bank to go… The real problem is the BOND MARKET IS CRASHING.” Kiyosaki goes on to say. “The Bond Market is much bigger than the stock market, as we know…I’m concerned about IRA’s and pension plans. The Bond Market is the biggest market in the WORLD. And all the countries of the world are in U. S. bills T Bills [U. S. Treasuries] and T Bonds…the U. S. Dollar is losing is hegemony [its international reserve currency].” “MY CONCERN IS THAT THE PENSIONS ARE IN TROUBLE because they are loaded with bonds also. And my generation, the Boomers we’re starting to retire. This is the worst, THE PERFECT STORM IN MANY WAYS.” says Kiyosaki.
Robert Kiyosaki explains, on Fox Business, March 13, 2023, “why investors would be wise to buy gold and silver as the Fed and FDIC signal more money printing” In the interview after showing a gold coin and a silver corn, he said he was concerned about the U. S. Bond Market.
He held up an American one-dollar bill and said “This is trash. They are going to print more and more of this fake money.” Because of “hyperinflation,” he says. “That is what the Fed and the FDIC are signally, that we are going to print as much of this as possible to keep the CRASH from accelerating.” Kiyosaki says. “But, they are the guys that are causing [hyperinflation].” Kiyosaki says.
God is not surprised. He knows the motives of all people’s hearts and He knows those who are His and is able to keep them. One way He does this is to lead us by His Spirit, through words of knowledge, dreams, visions, scripture. Every prophetic word should be weighed in accordance with scripture. We know and prophesy in part. So, no matter how much of a person or person’s prophetic vision, dream or word you have, you still need to seek the Lord about what you should do as well as asking Him is this word even for you or even for your region or generation. God is faithful and speaks to those who abide with Him.
Now more than ever, it is important to begin to abide with Jesus. He says, His sheep know His voice and follow none other. He says if we abide with Him and Him with us, we can bear fruit, even in difficult times.
Many want to abide with the Lord, but they do not have a plan. We have a free simple abiding plan for you. Simply go to iAbide.org and request your free plan today!

The Jesus People movement was a countercultural Christian movement that emerged in the late 1960s and gained momentum throughout the 1970s. It was a response to the cultural and political upheavals of the time, and it drew in thousands of young people who were seeking spiritual fulfillment and a sense of community. The Jesus People movement was characterized by its rejection of mainstream culture and its embrace of a simple, back-to-basics approach to Christianity.
The Jesus People movement was closely linked to the larger countercultural movement of the time. Many of its members were disillusioned with the social and political establishment and were searching for a more authentic way of life. They rejected materialism, consumerism, and the traditional trappings of organized religion. Instead, they embraced a more communal and egalitarian approach to Christianity, one that emphasized personal transformation, social justice, and the direct experience of God.
The Jesus People movement was often associated with the hippie subculture of the time, and many of its members dressed in a distinctive style that blended elements of hippie and Christian dress. They often wore sandals, long hair, and flowing garments, and they sometimes painted slogans or Christian symbols on their clothing. They also adopted a distinctive form of worship, often characterized by upbeat music, spontaneous prayer, and a sense of joyful celebration.
The Jesus People movement had a significant impact on American Christianity, and it helped to shape the modern evangelical movement. Its members were instrumental in the growth of the contemporary Christian music industry, and they played a key role in the development of new forms of worship and evangelism. They also helped to shift the focus of American Christianity from a traditional emphasis on doctrine and authority to a more experiential and personal approach to faith.
However, the Jesus People movement was not without its controversies. Some members of the movement were criticized for their rejection of traditional morality and their embrace of drug use and other countercultural practices. Others were accused of being overly simplistic in their understanding of Christianity and of ignoring important theological and historical traditions. Nevertheless, the Jesus People movement remains an important and influential chapter in American religious history, one that continues to inspire and challenge Christians today.
The Jesus people movement was taking place at the same time as the Jesus Revolution as Time Magazine named it as well as the Charismatic Renewal Movement of the church.
