That is good news, I think a lot of people probably need such messages, I can't understand why people don't preach and teach this stuff.
I read the vision, the guy had about the Tsunami, although he seemed to have actually thought it would happen somewhere in Europe, because he saw so many from his country die.
Tim,
I will only table that which is well documented and specific.
Blessings,

These are just a couple of messages on the character of God by Paul Washer I found quite good also.

Dagazz,
I don't think I can express my gratitude enough for posting those sermons. I've just finished listening to them. I don't know what to say as I have been humbled by them and God has not only revealed a very important part of Himself to me but has completely convicted my heart in my error of Him. I am truly humbled yet I know I have only touched the surface.
"this comfortable god of mine is nothing. He can also do nothing to me..that's why I like him." I took many notes and will be listening to them many more times.
"Until I know who He is and the privilege it is to be in His presence,I probably don't have the right to be there."
"He is not common,ordinary or casual. He is not like us. He is never to be taken lightly. His name is not a cult symbol or a marketing tool.
His name is above every name! He is Holy."
"Seek Him,seek His attributes. The more you know Him the more you love Him"
He Hates sin.
hi Meredith, just wanted to stop in and say hi - good to "see you"
blessings...

Thanks Meredith
My own salvation journey out of occult, drugs, etc, was to read the bible from beginning to end. I was actually terrified and completely under conviction , having broken most of the Ten Commandments and fully aware my life was displeasing to God, but also knowing He had made a way for forgiveness, so I had the opposite journey... learning to receive the love and forgiveness of an angry God.
This dates back several years but still has relevance. I downloaded the file and have been listening to it while driving to work over the last couple of days.
From Art Katz: Critique of the Modern Prophetic Movement.

approx 1 hour 10 minutes.
Strong word Onesimus..."the traficking of God...presumption and arrogance...how did we not discern this..."
He made an interesting point that I never really thought of in these terms...Art is speaking of the phenomena of "personal prophecies" that people rush to get at the end of a service as if they do not know that God knows them unless a prophet gives them a personal prophecy. I never linked peoples need to know that God knows them with the phenomena of "personal prophecy" so I thought that was really interesting...talk about traficking God. Art likens this to clairvoyance more than a word from the Lord.
"Paul lived in the conscious sense of the Judge and the day of judgement."
"Better to be hidden obscure and unknown..."
God bless you!

Kathleen,
I think a similar reason is behind the tendency for people to run here and there from conference to conference to hear from the "man of God" - whoever is currently being promoted as the one with a "hotline" to heaven, whoever is being recognised as today's anointed man of the hour...
People try to find confirmation for their own faith - they want to witness evidence of the things they profess as truth but haven't personally experienced.
THAT is what I realised I had been doing in the mid eighties. I would travel for miles, day after day to hear the likes of Jerry Savelle, TL & Daisy Osborne, Benson Idahosa and others when they visited Australia - as well as a few locals who had a reputation of being "anointed".
It was much later that I realised what Jesus had warned about when He spoke of false Christs and warned against running here and there after the "anointed one".
if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!'[ the anointed one] or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
