Serious Prophecy about Islam and Christianity
for the Fox Valley
17 Aug 2009
by Joie Pirkey
I was told in a vision on September 25, 2007 that "people in the Church," somehow emphasis on leaders of the Church, were already beginning to publicly postulate that Islam was, in effect, quite like Christianity. They would proceed to give examples of our similarities and begin to, and He used the term, "pigeonhole", Christianity with Islam. This in effect would erode the line of demarcation between Islam and Christianity and He said that He "hates this." That has been the only time, to date, that the Lord has used the word hate in any visions He has given me.
He also, in that same vision, told me that the head of the Taliban was, and I quote, "the head of a snake." He said that He would stomp that snake, killing its head. He told me that the name of the man who was the head of the Taliban was Omar.
In July of this year, 2009, the Lord began to speak to me again about this issue. He was simply giving me information about the Church and how they were whittling away the difference between the Biblical beliefs of Orthodox Christianity with elements of the Islam faith. He then asked me with some urgency to post the vision publicly and I did so on my Facebook Group titled Shouts of Joy Ministries. Click here to see that posting on Facebook.
In early August of this year, I was told by the Lord during a time of prayer with others to "Shout to the people the sins of the Church". Immediately this issue of Christians merging Islam with Christinaity came to mind but I had no idea specifically what the Lord was referring to and how He wanted me to do this.
The next day I was contacted by a member of the body of Christ here in the Fox Valley. The person was sharing information about a new movement sometimes called the "Insiders Movement" and the "Common Ground Movement" built on the C5 mission strategy of contextualization. C5 strategy promotes the idea that Muslims can remain in Islam and still be "Christ Followers" even as they continue to hold to Mohammed being God’s prophet and, for many, even holding that the Quran is a "holy book." Obviously holding to Mohammed being God’s Prophet, when he denies Christ’s divinity, death and resurrection, compromises the core truths of our faith and blurs the line between Christianity and Islam. There are a number of ways this movement breaks down the line between us. I mention these two as examples only.
Elements of this movement are an example of how the Church is "pigeonholing" the Christian Faith with Islam. This is a sin and God hates it.
I am not writing to begin a debate with a movement or even to give my doctrinal opinions. I am simply conveying to you what the Lord has said about this broad issue and am asking you to pray about this; to consider it with great seriousness. I believe this will begin to affect many of us in the United States and in the Fox Valley in the very near future.
As I was praying about this issue and how to confront it, the Lord brought something to mind. Some years ago in a prophecy given first for CTR and then expanded to the Fox Valley churches the Lord was rebuking us for not allowing Him to be the Head of the Church. In His specific definition He said this,
"You are not allowing Jesus to be the Head of the church. The church is His House. You are putting people into ministry that God is not putting into ministry. You are taking people out of ministry that God is calling into ministry. You are putting people out of the church that God is calling into the church. You are bringing people into the church that God is casting out of the church. If you repent of this the Holy Spirit will be loosed on the church and the enemy will be held back. If you do not repent the devil will be loosed on the church and the Holy Spirit will hold back." (Bolding mine)
I believe that what the Lord is speaking to regarding the Islam/Christian issue refers directly to the bolded part above. "Bringing people into the Church that are not being brought in by the Lord" is, in effect not allowing Him to be the Head.
I have posted this article on the blog "A Word in Due Season". You can access the blog by clicking here or by going through the Shouts of Joy Ministries web site www.shoutsofjoyministries.com.
I have been receiving many emails about this topic already from the people who discern the prophecies that I send out. I think that their material will be very interesting and I intend to post some of it on the blog mentioned above. If you have comments or questions it's best to do so on the blog because many times I get the same questions via email and simply do not have enough time to address all of them in that venue. If anonymity is a concern it is very easy to comment anonymously. May God be pleased and His people be blessed.
