Judgment Has Begun!

The Judge

Last year around the middle of the Hebrew month of Elul (middle of 9/2016), I was captivated by the cloud you see to the left. So I took a picture of it. At first, I thought it was Moses and the 10 commandments. But the Lord let me know I was seeing a likeness of Him in the clouds. He was announcing His appearance as Judge and His intention to begin a new season of judgment. His book of Records was/is opened and court was/is in session! I knew He did not mean the Great White Throne Judgment. I just knew He had begun to make things right on the earth in a very intentional way! He gave me Psalm 75:

When I select an appointed time, it is I who judge with equity. For not from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert comes exaltation (“promotion” in some versions); but God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another. NASB

I love this whole chapter in The Message:

We thank you, God, we thank you – your Name is our favorite word; your mighty works are all we talk about. You say, “I’m calling this meeting to order, I’m ready to set things right. When the earth goes topsy-turvy and nobody knows which end is up, I nail it all down, I put everything in place again. I say to the smart alecks, ‘That’s enough,’ to the bullies, ‘Not so fast.’” Don’t raise your fist against High God. Don’t raise your voice against Rock of Ages. He’s the One from the east to west; from desert to mountains, he’s the One. God rules: he brings this one down to his knees, pulls that one up on her feet. God has a cup in his hand, a bowl of wine, full to the brim. He draws from it and pours; it’s drained to the dregs. Earth’s wicked ones drink it all, drink it down to the last bitter drop! And I’m telling the story of God Eternal, singing the praises of Jacob’s God. The fists of the wicked are bloody stumps, the arms of the righteous are lofty green branches. Psalm 75 (From The Message (MSG) Copyright c 1993, 1994, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson)

In 2014, my friend, Judy, had taken me out to eat at a local Thai restaurant. After we caught up, she shared with me about going into the courtroom of heaven to ask the Lord for just judgments and for forgiveness of family sins. I took notes and began immediately going into this courtroom in prayer. I heard another teaching by David Herzog on the same subject more recently. I hope to share more on this subject in the future. But we can ask God to intervene in our lives. Our Father is the Judge and Jesus is the Advocate or Lawyer who defends our cause against the accusing prosecutor, Satan.

The announcement of imminent judgment is not to be feared by His children who love, obey and long for Him. He wants to make judgments in our favor! “Blessed are those you chose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple. You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas…” Psalm 65:4-5 (NIV)

Our Father loves to bless His children! Many of us have been in the season of “hope deferred” which “makes the heart sick.” We are NOW entering the season of “a longing fulfilled” which “is a tree of life!” Proverbs 13:12 (NIV). Our Friend, the Fearsome Judge of Heaven and Earth, has decided that a season of reward and satisfaction is due for those who have been patiently enduring great trials and tests of their faith!

But for those who do not please the Lord and have seemingly gotten a pass to do their own thing, no matter how wrong, He is moving swiftly to clean things up! Even in this regard, He is merciful! It is far better to experience His disciplining hand, so you can change your ways, than to continue down the wrong path and suffer eternal consequences!

I took a picture of this amazing cloud formation before the most recent national elections in America. Soon after the election, I was speaking with a very dear friend, a former missionary and strong prophetic intercessor in her 80’s. She said, before the election, she was very concerned about the outcome and was praying fervently, as millions of us were! Then, she had a dream in which she saw an animal-like creature with a human head, like a centaur.

When she awoke, she asked the Lord who that creature represented. He answered, “the queen of heaven.’’ “The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out libations to other gods in order to spite Me.” Jeremiah 7:18 (NASB). She and I both understood that this “queen” is an ancient powerful demonic entity called a principality or ruler. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 (KJV).

God revealed through other details in the dream that this entity had influenced the party that ended up losing – the party which had not favored Israel, but had supported abortion. God’s decision to favor the winning party resounded through the earth!

Another amazing insight gained from my friend’s dream is that the queen of heaven principality ITSELF obviously came under judgment from the Lord as demonstrated by the election results. About a year and a half ago, I asked the LORD which principality/demonic prince was holding up the transfer of wealth which He had promised His people in this season. {The following verses mention a transfer of wealth coming to Israel during the Millennium, but as prophecy can have several fulfillments, I believe these verses also refer to the funding of the Body of Christ in preparation for the End Time Move of God. “Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and rejoice; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of nations will come to you.” Isaiah 60:5 (NASB) “…you will be spoken of as ministers of our God. You will eat the wealth of nations and in their riches you will boast.” Isaiah 61:6 (NASB)}.

The Judge

When I awoke a few weeks later to the phrase, “the queen of heaven,” I knew instantly that the Lord had answered my question about what was holding up the wealth transfer. After that morning revelation, I read the powerful book, The Queen’s Domain: Advancing God’s Kingdom in the 40/70 Window, C. Peter Wagner, General Editor, in which a description of this evil force and its past and current strategies are delineated. I was surprised to find that since the early 2000’s, strategic prayer teams have actually been asking God to free whole regions and people groups from this prince’s power. And that they had discovered the queen of heaven was the agent holding up the transfer of wealth! In my heart, I believe the Lord is decreeing, in this season, an increased release of Kingdom resources!

If you are in obedience to the Lord, rejoice! He will begin the fulfillment of long awaited promises and dreams! If you are not, turn to Him in humble repentance. He deeply loves you! Either way, The Judge has declared the acceleration of His just judgments!

Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “None of My words will be delayed any longer, whatever word I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God.” Ezekiel 12:28 (NASB)

Rejoicing!

(The day I wrote this message,  but long after I had seen the cloud and these thoughts had been percolating in my heart, I read the following article which my husband, Jeff, had printed off some time back for me from The Elijah List,  by Faith Marie Baczko: “The Judge of the Universe is Ruling in Our Favor,” Sep 17, 2016. I was stunned that she had been given a very similar message! I was also amazed that her message went out around the same time I saw the cloud. By the testimony of two or three witnesses a matter is confirmed! (2 Corinthians 13:1). You may enjoy reading her article, which can be found in The Elijah List archives at: http://www.elijahlist.com)

Welcome To My Blog – Introduction

Through The Wisteria
Shepherds Heart, Alvarado, TX

Hi! Welcome to my blog! My name is Anna Cropley. The picture to the left is what I am looking through as I write to you. Do you believe that God has a deep affection for you and wants to talk to you as a father and a friend? So do I! So I started this blog to share what He tells me, so that friends, like you, can begin to hear Him for yourselves or just add to what you are already hearing.

I hope you enjoy what you read! I will also share pictures and music, including photos that I take and songs that I write and sing. Soon, I will begin to release here, in sections and chapters, my book, The Joseph Generation: Release of the End Time Deliverers.

I believe there are a whole lot of people who have been waiting on dreams, visions and promises from God for a very long time… or so it seems when you are the one waiting! Like Joseph in the Bible, these people have had dreams from God and then they find themselves, apparently, set on the shelf. God is just about to take us down, dust us off and put us into circulation!!!!  My book basically is meant to encourage the Josephs who have been in hiding. Join me here as I share the book and other reflections from my heart! See you soon!
