"Gather My Apostles"

Dear Brethren, 

On Dec. 17, 2000, I took a short trip to a neighboring town. As I began the trip I started to pray in the car. I remember praying that the Lord would make a way for me to be able to leave the town and state He's had me in for the past five years. Before I could pray anymore, He began to speak. 

He began to speak to me about the work He has called me to do. He spoke of the war that is coming. The same war He had spoken to me about in Dec. 98 and Jan. 99. The trip was about 40 minutes each way. All the way up and all the way back the Lord continued to speak to me just like He was a passenger in the car.  

The Lord spoke to me concerning everything that He had been revealing to me in pieces over the past six months prior to this conversation. The first thing He let me know was that I had to remain in this place. I have a felt a weight, a real heaviness in the spirit as I write this letter. It has even caused me to review my own life. If I were not sure that this was the leading of the Lord Jesus Christ, I would not write it.  

The road I traveled that day I had traveled many times before. This day on the return trip the Lord pointed out exactly where the ministry center is to be and why. He told me the reason for His choosing the area and how to prepare the ministry center for the days ahead. He was giving me a great deal of instructions and many details. More were to come in following days. During the months of Dec. 2000 and Jan. 2001 the Lord continued to reveal His Will and to confirm, and reaffirm. 

It would not be possible for me to relate all that was spoken by the Lord during this time. There has only been a few things the Lord has let me tell a few people. I didn't feel like it was all for publication.  

I don't know the timing of the things I write about here. I have learned the importance of walking out each step the Lord tells you to walk and then ask for more direction. This has been imperative in this work to Gather the Lord's Apostles. There was critical timing involved in each of the three Gatherings to date, that no man could have known. 

I have struggled with what I am about to tell you here. When I was younger in the Lord I used to seek Him for revelation. There is a great responsibility that comes with hearing from the Lord. I never seek the Lord for words of prophesy just so I can prophesy. I would rather not. However I do have to continually seek His direction for what He has called me to do. 

The Lord did not give me a great vision of destruction and I thank Him for that. Everything the Lord has talked to me about here is in direct relationship to what He has called me to do. It has all been delivered in a very practical way to show His Will for preparation. These things are not supposed to sneak up on the People of God. But we must take heed to everything He shows us and obey His leading.  

I was talking to one of our Elders Apostle Paul Cunningham about some of the things the Lord has been showing me and he began to tell me of a couple of visions the Lord gave him back in 1955.

In Paul Cunningham's words Vision #1

  I was standing in a travel trailer in a mobile home park, in Riverside

California, in 1955, after a time of prayer.

  The Spirit spoke to me, "Go outside and look up in the air, to your left".

I opened the door, stepped outside, and looked up to my left.

  This happened shortly after noon.

  As I looked up, I jumped back, very startled by what I saw! It was so vivid,

I thought it was "physical"...

  Standing "in the air" about 100 feet from me, was a Chinese Communist Soldier,

in full battle gear, holding a Russian made automatic rifle, "at the ready'".

  I fully expected to feel the impact of bullets... as he seemed about to fire.

  I heard the Voice of God saying,  "even so shall they stand in this place"...

In the spirit, I knew they would come in, through Mexico.  That was the extent of that vision.

  I have told it to few people as most who have heard it, dismiss it as "ridiculous"...

After all, "we live in Christian America, and God would never allow anything like that

to happen here".

   One thing I know, 'WHEN GOD SPEAKS, YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK"!

 Vision # 2...

    I was in a time of prayer, driving into Los Angeles, from Riverside, Calif.

The time was 1955, and they had just begun building several new highways..(the interstate highway system was new).

   As I neared Los Angeles, I saw the "high rise buildings" and thought, this is becoming a major metropolitan city, much like New York.

  Then I saw an "open vision"... A brand new City Hall, ( the one that exists today) and several new Interstate Highways, I-5, I-10, and other "links" that made a "layered, ribbon effect" in the vision.

  As I watched crowds of people moving, in cars, and on foot, suddenly there was a brilliant "Flash" and the whole sky "lit up" with the effects.

  I saw it was a "bomb blast", and looked to the west and south, and there was the 'afterglow" of the bomb.

In the spirit, I heard the words, "this is a Neutron bomb blast"..."it will not harm any buildings, nor destroy

anything except the people."

 I watched as the people in the vision turned into "shadows on the walls"... and were gone.

I knew that this scene would be a reality in the end time.

  I told the vision repeatedly and many scoffed. However, I described the "New City Hall" explicitly, and when it was built in a few years, some who had heard the vision, became believers. They came to me and said, "If the City Hall is real, and you saw it long before it was built, then the rest of the Vision is real too."

Some years later, our Government announced they had developed a "Neutron bomb" that would only destroy people, and leave "no collateral damage"....

  Surely this vision will "speak in the end time, and will not lie."

  This is the extent of this vision. Paul J. Cunningham    

The Lord doesn’t reveal these things just for theatrics.  

Nothing I've written here is for dramatic effect. I would rather not have to publish this letter at all. One day when I was struggling with all this, the Lord caused my Bible to fall open to Ezekiel Chapter 33 and let my eyes fall upon His word there. He was letting me know I could not be silent.  

The day before the Presidential Inauguration, I was watching a news story on CNN about the same Bible George Washington laid his hand on during his inauguration, being put on an Am-track train to be at George W. Bush's inauguration. The Lord spoke to me suddenly and very clearly He said, "THE FIRST AND THE LAST PRESIDENTS...... as you have known Presidents to be". I thought I understood what that meant. He was not speaking of assassination but of the war. This would mean that it could be anytime from right now to the year 2008.  

There are several men in our time that have been given the awesome responsibility of having to publish great visions they have seen of the upcoming war. To Name a Few; A.A. Allen back in the fifties saw missiles being launched from submarines under the sea at America. That technology didn't exist at the time of his Vision. Henry Gruver in 1985 had a Vision of submarines launching missiles as a first strike on America. Henry has had several visions of the times ahead. There is another man I can't remember his full name; Dimitri ?? had a similar vision in our time. If you have any information on where I can find Dimitri's vision please let me know. George Washington during the American Revolution saw a vision of what is about to happen. It’s interesting to note that George Washington saw enemy troops coming by land, air and sea. And there are more. I have placed three of these visions on the web site.  

I have talked to three people in the last two months who have seen small visions of this upcoming war. The Lord is letting His People know what is coming.  

A precious Saint of the Lord's sent me a video of Henry Gruver telling of his vision and the information he has gathered. Henry at one point said, There were 42 Kings who reigned over Israel and Judah before they were taken into the Babylonian captivity. He said, Queen Elizabeth II is the 42nd Monarch in England. Clinton was the 42nd President of the United States. During the time that Clinton was taking his oath of office there was some tremendously bad weather pounding Washington State the 42nd state to be admitted into the Union. Then Henry asked, if God was trying to show us something. It would appear to be so.  

When the Lord was telling me how and where to build this Ministry Center. (This is the Ministry Center I saw back in 1979, when the Lord caught me up in the spirit and took me into the future). The Lord was telling me how to prepare it and letting me know that He was going to direct people to this place during the tribulations ahead. There will be many being saved in very severe circumstances and the Lord will lead them to His people in the earth. He told me that I was to survive what was coming because of the work He's called me to. As the Apostle Paul said, whether we live or die we do it in Jesus…. 

After the Lord told me to just begin the work of Calling His Church to Order, He let me know that we have to move fast. He wants this remnant of His People to be prepared and connected during this time being able to operate as an underground Church when necessary.  

Has anyone else noticed that time seems to be traveling at a record speed? Whatever time we think we have, …well….. we have no time to waste.  

As you can see there are many reasons why we need to take this seriously. This is not just about having House Church. Again, House Church in and of itself is not the answer to the problems in Christianity. We have been and are continuing to Gather the Lord's Apostles. The Apostles have a great role to play in the Calling of the Church to Order.  

We must begin to practice our faith after the Order and Ways of God not of men. We must embrace the Lord's Covenant. We are not under the law but under grace. There is a conditioning from the systems of men that always suggest that if you are embracing God's Covenant you are going back under the Law. This is a very serious conditioning. This conditioning designed by Satan, is just another in his many strategies TO KEEP GOD'S PEOPLE FROM FULLY ALIGNING THEMSELVES WITH GOD. We are to be a light to the world. That light should be a reflection of the Covenant of the Most High God and His Messiah. There is no reason to believe that we are to embrace the doctrines of men and Trash at Will the Everlasting Covenant of God towards His People. We are to be known as Christians pure and simple. We must repent. 

This is a comment from the Apostle Kenneth Stevenson:

Dear Cary,

Did I ever tell you that the name of the church God gave us "Everlasting Covenant" came from the very things you are pointing out in this letter. Truly the "Everlasting Covenant" is the final covenant and MUST be lived IF the "people that KNOW their GOD" are to "be strong and do exploits" as Daniel said...I have warned God's people as best I know how that if they are prepared for the rapture and surprised by the tribulation it will be awful. 

 America does not know how very close we already came to WW III. In the fall of 1973, as a B-52 Commander I was sitting Nuclear Alert in California. As we had a full week of training alerts, I was shocked to hear the klaxon sound for a third time. Even before I reached my aircraft it dawned on me, "this is the REAL THING !" Once on board, with engines running, at runway's end and a valid GO CODE, we had a VERY limited number of options before launch became IRREVOCABLE...we literally came within minutes of WWIII and America never knew. In fact, our launch window was extended the maximum number of times allowed by procedures. While the full story is probably still highly classified, I will go as far as to say, the episode involved Israel, Russia and missiles that WERE actually launched and tracked by US defense forces in Europe.(USAFE) If you believe it cannot happen in today's era of all the "global village" hype you are GREATLY deceived. The difference between today and even the recent Gulf War era is SIGNIFICANT: our military forces are considerably decimated...in both capacity AND morale after 8 years of consistent downsizing. Furthermore, China has GIVEN our TOP SECRET Nuclear Technology, while at the same time Vladimir Putin (a rabid anti-Semitic) rattles the Russian saber.  

...I have felt that war could come under Clinton and even now BEFORE George W. Bush has a chance to restructure our military....Russia and China are linking up.... any of a number of scenarios could precipitate WWIII....but few see it and even fewer HEED the CALL.....in trying to prepare the BODY for these
last and EVIL days....I find repeatedly that such warnings are met with cries of   "legalism !!"....from Apostle Ken Stevenson. 

This is not just about America. But I believe America will be the major focus of the enemy. This will be World War III. It is not the 2nd Coming of the Lord, though it can not be far off.  

I believe that there is only one reason why the Lord had me write this letter to you. This war is not the focus of this ministry. But I have been hearing the Lord over and over again tell me that we need to fully understand the time we are in. We are already in the Last Days. We must follow the Lord’s leading more carefully than ever before. Our thinking and ways of looking at things needs to be adjusted by the Lord. Many false teachings and impressions have come before.  Always try to look at things from the Lord’s perspective. This is a Crucial time.  

Millions of God's People have been taught that the only thing they can expect is a Rapture that will save them from any tribulation coming on the earth. This would truly be wonderful and I truly wish that it were true. Again, Satan always does whatever he can to disarm the greatest people on the face of the earth (the Redeemed of the Lord). The Lord God Almighty does not want His people to be spiritually unarmed and unprepared. Read carefully Matthew Chapter 24 and Mark Chapter 13. 

There is still much the Lord has for His Church to do and to Be. There are still many who must be saved. There must be Order before we can have Unity. The problems in the Church, the Body of Christ can only be fixed by the Glory of God in Christ Jesus. And that Glory can not be poured out on a people following after the Order and doctrines of men and devils. God is Faithful to His Word and to us. 

As much as I have spoken here there are still many things that can not be published in this way. We will be discussing this and more at the upcoming Apostles Gathering in OKC. I am going to encourage all of you to be there. Yes, we will still be Discerning Apostles. We are still getting out a Call to all the Apostles of Jesus Christ. But we must also be about this business of the Lord's, in Calling His Church to Order. I am still waiting for confirmation on the Hotel and will let you know as soon as it is confirmed.  

It amazes me to see what the Lord has been putting together with this work. Only the Lord could do it. The Lord has been faithful to lead this work in every way. We are walking into very perilous times. We were all called to this hour. It is important that we meet this hour with all that is with in us, in Christ Jesus.  

I have placed these visions on the web site; http://www.apostles-gathering.com 

I Love You all and ask the Lord to Bless you all with His Wisdom, His Strength and Courage to meet the challenges of our time. Lord Jesus, I ask you to Bless their finances and extend their tents. Let every need be met. We long to see your Glory manifest in your People. Amen.
