JOHN PAUL JACKSON ....The Jeremiah Of Our Time !

 Before he was born

According to John Paul Jackson, an angel appeared to his mother before his birth, telling her not to weep over her miscarriage and that she would soon give birth to a son. She was to name the boy John Paul, the angel said, and he would have an 11th-hour ministry. Even her pregnancy would be a sign of that 11th-hour ministry.
 Not long after, Jackson’s mother became pregnant with him. He was due to be born May 30, 1950. His mother went to the hospital in labor on that day, but the labor pains stopped, and Jackson wasn’t born until two months later, on July 30 at 11:55 p.m.—“11 months to the day,” he says.

 

His Call

From a very young age, John Paul was gifted in seeing things before they happened. His parents encouraged him to use his gifts by pursuing a prophetic ministry but John Paul did not want to do that. He went to work in Fort Worth, Texas, working in the corporate world. While he was in his office working one day, the Lord orchestrated an event that changed his life.

The Lord instructed prophetess Ruth Ward Heflin to leave Jerusalem and go to Dallas because there was a young man there who was gifted in dreams and visions but was resisting the call of God on his life. God instructed her to do a radio program on dreams and visions to awaken this young man and that he would call into the program and when he did it would change his future.

So when Ruth Ward Heflin was broadcasting this live radio program John Paul was listening to the program in his office. As Ruth Ward Heflin shared what God had told her to do and told about the young man God spoke to her about, John Paul was listening and started praying for that young man, not realizing he was that man. The dreams and visions discussed on this program touched John Paul so greatly that he closed his office door and cried out loud. Even then, he thought he was crying because he was interceding for that young man. He then felt the Lord prompted him to call into the live radio program, still unaware that he was that man. As he was calling in, the Lord started showing him, “It is you!” Still not convinced, John Paul said to the Lord, “If they take my call live, then I will believe it is me.” Normally, callers were put on hold and very few were put on live radio. However, when John Paul called in they answered the phone saying, “Hello, you are live on the air!” Immediately, Ruth Ward Heflin said to him, “Young man, what took you so long to call?”

Now, at age 62, Jackson— is fulfilling the calling of his 11th-hour ministry; he is the founder of Streams Ministries International known for his uncanny record of accurately predicting the global financial crisis and numerous other events in recent years—

 “I feel like the Lord has called me to start bringing the relevance of dreams and visions—what the Bible calls dark speech or riddles and enigmas—back into a relevant place in our church culture,” he says.

For scriptural support, Jackson cites Acts 2, in which Luke—quoting Joel 2—wrote that in the last days, God would pour out His Spirit and people would dream dreams, have visions and prophesy. Jackson also cites Job 33:14-16, noting,

“God speaks in many ways that man does not perceive—in a dream, in a vision of the night.” He says the Lord uses dreams to “open the minds of men and seal their instructions, in order to conceal pride from man and to keep his soul from the pit and his life from perishing by the sword.”-

 

THE PERFECT STORM

The Coming Perfect Storm; In what Jackson refers to as a revelation from the Lord, he released a statement in 2008 called The Coming Perfect Storm.  In this statement, he spoke of a time coming to America and the world where economic, military, religious, political, and geophysical issues and events would occur in a relatively small period of time to make up a perfect storm of calamity. This statement was made public in July 2008, months before the stock market and banking crisis of 2008.

''I see coming to the United States and the rest of the world  is a combination of more than one element, and when the elements unite, the storm becomes exponentially more dangerous. However, unlike the movie, this storm is not just a storm of merging weather patterns. This storm is worse; it involves five different elements:

·         Religion,

·         Economics,

·         War,

·         Politics

·         Geo-physical events.

These storms will not be short lived.

At times these five elements will be so intertwined that it will be difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish which events are driving a particular manifestation of the storm. Massive problems in these five areas will come often, or in combination, and sometimes repeatedly. Each element has potentially several events that will have national and international ripple effects. Some ripples will be worse than others, depending on where you live and how you make your living. Different areas of the United States will experience different severities. Some will experience more economic elements, others more geo-physical elements; some will experience all elements. Remember, it is the combination and the rapidity that will make the storm problematic.

Also, this does not mean all five elements will hit at the most devastating levels. For example, on a scale of 1–10 with 10 being the worst, one element may strike at a six while another strikes at an eight. It is the particular combinations of elements — the proximity of each element as well as the intensity of each element — that will make this storm so difficult and seem to last so long. This storm will not be short-lived; it will come in waves, one after another.
