Paul Keith & Wanda Davis with Bob Jones
October 31, 2003
Greetings friends,
Wednesday morning October 29, I heard the clear expression, “Signs, signs... everywhere are signs. Can't the people read the signs?" I knew from this declaration that spiritual signs surround us that we must heed in this crucial hour. Many events are taking place with the unrest in the Middle East, war in Iraq, fires raging through the West, political upheaval, solar flares and many other notable happenings and phenomenon that give attention to the times in which we are living. Thankfully, the Lord has already spoken to us about these things and His strategy for victory during this time of destiny.
Rather than attempt to formulate a divine strategy based upon current events, the Lord has had us review prophetic revelations that have been given to us over the prior several years that provide clear understanding and the blueprint to overcome. On at least two prior occasions we have circulated prophetic insight that we believe directly relates to the things presently taking place.
The first was an article that we released in April of 1999 in which a "national calamity" was prophesied and some of the residual effects of it. That article was entitled "The Lord's Heart for Intercession." We followed up in September of 2001 after the tragedy of 9/11 with a reiteration of the revelations and further insight for prayer and intercession through the WhiteDove Ministries Newsletter II. We continue to believe the strategy given in those revelations is the expression of the Lord's heart for us. (See Links)
The Lord's Heart for Intercession
WhiteDove Newsletter II
The favorable promise and the thing we earnestly desire is the expectation of a season of renewal and favor emerging from these events. Hopefully, the Western church will be awakened to the seriousness of the hour and mobilized in faith, determination and intercession that is in agreement with Heaven.
We trust the following insights taken from the prior articles will be of assistance and encouragement to you.
Rich blessings,
Paul Keith Davis

On April 15, 1999, we were told that we were eminently facing a national calamity in an article entitled “The Lord's Heart For Intercession.” The word even pointed to “Winds from the East” bringing fires of devastation. Thankfully, it also came with the encouragement that from the fires will emerge ashes of renewal. The ashes clearly speak of repentance leading to the spiritual fires of revival. The essence of the word was to reveal the Lord's heart for intercession and a call of unity and precision in the prayers of the Saints.
He Lives To Make Intercession
The scriptures plainly point out, the Lord ever lives to make intercession on our behalf and if there was ever a time to draw near to God, it is this generation. Before the events even occurred, the Lord was already revealing His heart of intercession for our nation and those most directly affected by the violence and destruction.
Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. (Heb 7:25)
The event of September 11, 2001, political upheaval, terrorism and other threats are plainly the act of the enemy, yet allowed by the Lord for a greater good and to awaken the nation to her need for Him. His call to us is to join Him in intercession asking that the "fires" of destruction not occur all at once.
Meeting Our Responsibility
We believe the Lord is continuing to ask the church to join Him in His heart of intercession in this ongoing battle. Frankly, the spiritual consequences are just beginning. It is our great responsibility to intercede in the heavenly arena releasing the wisdom of heaven upon our president and his advisers for the divine response to the actions of September 11. Clearly, there must be a response for the evil perpetrated last week...our prayer should be that it is the RIGHT response.
Further, we can be most effective by asking for the supernatural intervention of the Holy Spirit revealing those specifically responsible for the terrorist attack. Finally, it is our prayers joined with the Lord’s that will dictate the release of renewal and its measure across our land.
From--- The Lord's Heart For Intercession April 15, 1999
When we agree with God by hearing and obeying, it becomes creative. Inclining our ear to the Lord and obeying His Voice and proclaiming it in agreement with Him produces creative faith. Bob also saw a national emergency requiring an executive order to be promulgated and enacted. A national calamity is at hand. This calamity may involve some in the highest level of government within our nation. The result of these events will precede a political mandate that could actually be the stepping stone to a season of martial law in our country.
Bob then saw fire... fire... and more fire…Fire coming from the West, East, South and North. This represented both natural and spiritual fire. They are fires of destruction fueled by an East wind. He was then given Psalms 48:7: With the east wind Thou dost break the ships of Tarshish.
The winds are going to blow against the “ships of Tarshish”, representing the leadership of the United States. The Lord has very often used Tarshish to symbolize this nation and its prophetic implications. “Ships” speak of leadership. The fire cannot be stopped. However, we are given the divine opportunity to intercede and prohibit all of these events from occurring simultaneously. Through intercession the “fires” can be staggered making it much more tolerable and manageable in prayer.
Many horrific events are being prepared to be released. Some of these events can be delayed so that one may be battled without the others also occurring at the same time. This will depend upon the intercessors. They will be able to extinguish portions of these fires as their prayers become heavenly “precipitation”.
The Lord told Bob that the fires cannot be stopped, however, we can prevent them from occurring all at one time and their effects can be curtailed. These are spiritual fires that will be verified by natural fires. The Lord instructed Bob to announce to the church, “DO NOT FAINT AT THIS TIME FOR THE FIRES WILL LEAVE THE ASHES OF RENEWAL.” These events are part of the preparation in righteousness necessary for the coming harvest. Beware when they say peace and prosperity for that is when sudden destruction will come. This describes our present condition. These events are directly related to the revelation of the Basilisk and the disruption this evil Spirit desires to bring to this nation, around the world, and especially against Israel.
In the Basilisk revelation, Bob saw this Spirit brooding over a nest of eggs. The Lord has given further insight concerning this aspect of the vision disclosing that there were seven eggs within this nest representing seven target points: The Balkans; Israel; Iraq/Syria; Iran/Libya; North Korea; China; and Africa.
The eggs also represented seven types of devastation: terrorism; pestilence; famine; war/political upheaval; storms; natural disasters; earthquakes; and financial calamity.
He sent upon them His burning anger, fury, and indignation, and trouble, a band of destroying angels. (Ps. 78:49)
Each of these will have direct and indirect application to the United States. These events will be so powerful that it would be overwhelming if they all occurred simultaneously. Our grace is to pray that they are staggered so that one can be dealt with before moving to the next. It is the Lord’s desire that this nation survive. It is the enemy’s desire to destroy this nation and ultimately Israel. The judgments that are coming are for the purpose of establishing righteousness in our land so that the power of heaven can be released.
From the ashes shall come the “fires of renewal”. We must be joined with the Lord through the intercession of His heart.
The One forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these. “Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds pour down righteousness; let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, and righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it. “Woe to (the one) who quarrels with his maker—an earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you doing?’ Or the thing you are making (say,) ‘He has no hands’? “Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’ Or to a woman, ‘To what are you giving birth?’” Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “Ask Me about the things to come concerning My sons, and you shall commit to me the work of My hands. (Isaiah 45:7-11)
These events were represented to Bob as “wildfires”. In the vision Bob called for people to form a line to “pass the water bucket” in order to fight the fires. This represented our call to unified intercession to extinguish the effects of these coming fires.
