A Prelude to the Word on the Prisons

I sense strongly that the prisoners behind walls and razor wire have been hidden and, perhaps, forgotten by man, but are now being summoned and brought forth to be included in this end-time intercession. They have a significant part to fulfill. I pray this word goes through the prison walls and doors and awakens the prisoners to the fact that they are vital and will be used greatly in intercession and ministry in this hour. They will begin to have visitations from angels and Jesus, Himself! Their jailhouse could rock!

Apostle Paul wrote from a prison cell, to Timothy, "Be not ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, 'His' prisoner," (2 Timothy 1:8). Paul was God's prisoner in prison, for a purpose. He goes on to say, "The word of God is not bound by these prisons walls!" (2 Timothy 2: 9)

A POSSIBLE MAJOR EARTHQUAKE IN THE PRISONS MAY BE GOD'S RESPONSE AGAIN! -- Acts 16:25,26.


Acts 16:25,26 "And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God and the prisoners heard them. 26, And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed!"

Prison Alert: The gross midnight darkness in prisons is now creating the perfect spiritual atmosphere, for a season of possible major earthquakes that could equal Acts 16:26.

"He looked down from heaven to hear the groaning of the prisoner." -- Psalm 102:20

In the Spirit, I saw the ear of God opening up to the cries of the prisoners, who no one else seemed to want to hear. The Father spoke, "The groaning of the prisoners is now coming up before Me. I am coming to answer them!"

I was surprised to discover that many of these groanings and cries were, not only for themselves, but for the Body of Christ outside of the prison. It was as though there were prison-postal-angels working to deliver special assignments of prayer to them that needed divine intervention on our behalf, and the outside world!

These prisons were turning into mission control centers, where their groanings of intercession were creating the atmosphere from which answers to prayer with miracles, signs, and wonders would be launched into the outside world! The Holy Spirit was giving to many of these prisoners, unknown names for them to pray for; these names included yours and mine!

The Body of Christ, outside, was discovering that prisons were their greatest hidden resource of intercession power for their lives, families, and ministries! I saw angels visiting unaware inmates, giving them messages and revelation that would go outside the walls and into the nations!

Heavenly Wisdom Was Pouring Over the Prison Walls. . .

Heavenly wisdom was pouring over the prison walls and through the razor wire into these hellish places of the earth, where these prisoners were already surpassing the knowledge of many of the great men of God today. The darkness was forging the image of Christ, into many of these lives. "They who (that) sat in darkness were seeing a great light!"

The hidden church in the prisons was now emerging with seasoned apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers and pastors, who would begin to feed the Body of Christ outside, with hidden manna found in the deepest, darkest, secret places of the earth!

"Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the prison, saying. . . 'Call unto Me and I will answer thee and show you great and mighty things which you know not of!'" -- Jeremiah 33:1,3

This was happening in the prisons. Apostle Paul wrote much of the epistles from a prison cell. More revelation will once again, come forth from that dark, lonely place with God!

This caused an awakening, within the Body of Christ, igniting the scripture in Mathew 25: "I was in prison and you visited Me not!" A Godly desire to visit the prisons was coming into God's people. Not only realizing that what we do to the least of these, we do to Him, but that we would receive an impartation from Jesus Christ personally.

A Changing of the Guards -- in the Prisons!

Just like Paul and Silas in their prison (notice the prison became theirs, not the devil's), the guards of these prisons would experience the joy of violent worship permeating from these inmates, who had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The guards themselves were being arrested by the Holy Ghost and found themselves asking for prayer and, "What must I do to be saved?" Free people were freeing other people.

The Spirit of Jailhouse Religion Will be Broken!

Many prisoners, who seem to live only for God when in prison, will now discover God's power on the outside; the Body of Christ will receive them, as they would receive treasures coming out of darkness. Those who think they cannot make it on their own will qualify, as God's strength is made perfect in their weakness.


Prisons Becoming Powerhouses in Communities!

People who had regretted the prisons and jails being built in their
neighborhoods were discovering atmospheric changes of peace and divine influence over their communities. Strongholds and principalities were being destroyed over these regions, as countless prison cells were turning into prayer cells. The prisons were becoming powerhouses, forming walls of protection around communities, as crime rates were coming down.

In the past, I have personally spent 23 years going into the prisons full time. I believe the ministry I have now was born during those years of going in to see Jesus!



*** When going into visit prisoners, always go in under a seasoned ministry. Some prison ministries would not agree, but I think that men should visit only men and women should only visit women.
