Beloved Intercessors,
Loving greetings from Engeltal! What a privilege it is to be living in these times! We were born for such a time as this! Our Father has been listening to the prayers of His people for nearly 2000 years, requisitioning His Kingdom to come and His will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. And every time that was said, the saints went on to plead for Him to deliver us from evil! We are certainly continuing to pray that entire scripture, and we trust that you are too!
While we watch the shaking of everything that can be shaken, from the indictment of the Clinton Campaign’s lawyer, to the truckers in Canada demonstrating and Jericho marching in Ottawa, to the disclosure of Justin Trudeau’s connections to the pharmaceutical industry, our Father is answering our prayers by exposing corruption. Fasten your seatbelt—the exposure has just begun! I believe we will be seeing things exposed that will be beyond shocking for most! But exposure isn’t enough! Now we pray for true justice to be done.
Five Levels of Love: The last couple of days I have been reminded of Tony Kemp’s message that he preached at our convention in 2020. I went back to my notes and then went back to listen again—it’s powerful! I believe it’s one of the most important messages of our era! (I’ll put a link in the footnote below.[1]) In it, he mentioned the five levels of God’s love:
- Acceptance
- Forbearance
- Warning
- Redemptive Affliction
- Termination that Results in Mercy for God’s People
Acceptance: Jesus referred to this first level of love in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapters five through seven where we turn the other cheek and don’t resist evil for the purpose of evangelism. People need to see this kind of love demonstrated to draw them to Jesus.
Forbearance: This is pastoral love—it is that patient endurance that perseveres while you wait for someone to grow up. It is a gift from God, especially for pastors and parents who need that great grace in dealing with the immature. It’s illustrated in Romans 2:4, “Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?” (CSB).
Warning: This is the level of God’s love that gets more serious with sin, warning the individual of negative consequences if they don’t get in line with the Word of God. In Revelation 2:20-22, Jezebel was given a space to repent – the forbearing goodness and was running out.
Redemptive Affliction: Even before his conversion, God used Saul of Tarsus to help move the Church out of Jerusalem to obey Jesus’ orders to go into Judea and Samaria (and the uttermost parts of the earth). But when his iniquity was full in Acts 9:3–18, Jesus knocked him on the ground (he wasn’t riding a horse—that’s a tradition that doesn’t hold up to scripture) and blinded him to change his point of view. His was afflicted in the process of his redemption.
In Revelation 2:22, Jesus declared that He would throw Jezebel into a bed of affliction. This went beyond the warning that He gave her in the previous verses as yet another step towards judgment to give her and those who were committing adultery with her a final opportunity to repent.
Termination that Results in Mercy for God’s People: So in the next verse we see termination: “And I will kill her children with death [that would be the offspring of her adulteries]; and all the churches shall know that I am He which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.” God must cut off Jezebel’s next generation before the iniquity birthed from her seduction and abominations can further corrupt the church.
Another example of this is God’s dealings with Pharaoh to let His people go. There was warning after warning, affliction after affliction, that destroyed the economy and the Egyptians’ faith in their gods. When Pharaoh still didn’t relent,[2] then there was the termination of the firstborn, then the termination of his army in the Red Sea. God didn’t terminate Pharaoh himself—He terminated everything around him. This resulted in mercy for Israel and they were set free from slavery and headed to the Promised Land.
So how does that fit our situation today? The big problem in our culture is that we (the Church) have gotten stuck in this first level or two of love as though it were the only definition of love. In 1962 and 1963 when a corrupt majority in the Supreme Court ruled that Bible reading and prayer in public schools was unconstitutional, and again in 1973 when murdering babies in their mother’s womb was ruled to be a constitutional right, the church did not resist evil. Consequently, the influence of the church in this nation became weaker and the influence of the world in the church became stronger.
I remember in the last five decades we have heard prophet after prophet declare that it was time for judgment on the United States. Then the intercessors went to praying: “Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Give us a little more time!” And our merciful Father heard our prayers while the infection spread. Now the boil has come to a head and it is time to lance it!
I believe that the events of the last two years have been all about exposure of corruption. Of course our Father in His mercy locked us into our homes to cause us to draw near to Him and expose our own hearts to us to clean us up so that He would have clean vessels to use as He is in the process of cleaning up our nations. If you haven’t been doing so already, pray for exposure of lies, deception, corruption, greed, sexual immorality, witchcraft, the shedding of innocent blood, etc. But it’s not enough for it to be exposed! PRAY FOR THE GOODNESS OF GOD TO LEAD TO REPENTANCE and for the termination of those who will not repent. (Termination can mean removal from positions of leadership as well as death.) Everything that can be shaken MUST be shaken so that that which cannot be shaken will remain!
Continue to walk in humility before the Lord to uproot, pull down, destroy, and throw down everything in your heart and your DNA that doesn’t agree with His Word so that He can use you to uproot, pull down, destroy, and throw down every wicked device and stronghold in the spirit realm that affects our society. Let Him then build you (build yourself up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost![3]) and plant you so that He can use you to build and plant His Kingdom in the earth!

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jzf-lkY6Ow&t=4s The entire services is powerful if you have time to watch it. Rona gave a powerful prophecy after the anointed worship time. Pastor Tony takes the mic at around 1:20 and shares some supernatural stories, etc. He begins this subject at around 1:38.
[2] Although we have understood from the English translation that “God hardened Pharaoh’s heart,” it really means that He “strengthened” his heart. In other words, the pride, contention, and faith in Egypt’s false gods that was already in his heart was strengthened. The result was the destruction of the false structure and everyone could see that Yehovah was the one true God!
Remember that the structure of Freemasonry is based on false Egyptian gods. Declare and expect the demolition of this false structure and the greed (god called mammon) that has been interwoven into the governments of the world.
