An Urgent Call to Repentance

Randal Dowdy • Feb 14, 2022

My wife, Tracy, and I had a 10-day encounter with God in March of 2019. God could have shown up to Tracy and given her the visions, the emotional healing, and understandings. Instead, he revealed Himself to me, a broken man who desperately needed Him. Tracy bears witness to the encounter that healed me, our marriage, and charted a new course for our lives.

Keep in mind; I grew up believing God didn’t speak to people like He had spoken to me for those ten very intense days. I grew up in a church that didn’t teach the gifts of the Spirit. But when God showed up, everything began to change. I can’t possibly recall every detail, but I can tell you that I experienced His presence in ways more real than I can describe. His reality was in the room. His essence was all-consuming. Everything was alive and without bounds, beyond dimensional, beyond space and time, all emitting completeness and perfection. The love of Jesus was boundless. The human race is short on words in any language that would adequately describe the magnitude of His love. His undeniable Truth was bold, loud, and in my face. The authority accompanying the Truth was quiet, unassuming, but absolute. None was higher.

I have been shy, introverted, and guarded around other people for most of my life. I wouldn’t say I liked sharing details of my life with others. If you have read our book, Beyond Impossible, you understand why I was this way. During our encounter, God said to “Show up and tell the story.” Writing a book and speaking publicly was not an aspiration for me. With both, God began the process of moving me out of my comfort zone. Sometimes, the most remarkable breakthroughs for you and those around you lie just on the outside of your comfort zone.

I started journaling on the 6th day of the encounter and have journaled almost every day since. My journals are precious because God speaks to me through my pen. I want to reiterate what I have written before. Declaring that God speaks to me in this way is a bold statement. Doing so puts a target on my back that I would rather not have.

The Lord said, “Scholars, the church, and the secular world will come after you with a vengeance.” I am an uneducated man with a checkered past. I do not deserve, nor did I ask for the wonderful gifts He gave me. But I am forever thankful for each one. God chose me despite my apparent inadequacies. I want to answer His call with wisdom as I seek mentors who boldly serve God in a similar capacity. I have never liked labels, including the word “prophet.” The word carries a burden of responsibility which, for me, can be debilitating. I have heard many words from the Lord since he showed up in our home.

He said, “The time is now to share publicly the words I have given you for the last three years.” In a previous blog post, I shared that a revival of signs and wonders is coming. God will expose the evil in our government, schools, media, businesses, and churches.

These words may be difficult to read. On the surface, we hope and long for the goodness these actions from the Lord will bring. But as we go deeper, we see uncertainty, and we may ask ourselves and God, “What will happen and for how long?” I believe the transition will be painful for everyone, but we must remember that Jesus Christ is love, first and foremost. A love so great that He laid down His life to share it with us. I was allowed to see only a glimpse of His love, and during my encounter with Him, all I could say was, “No words…no words.” He is my Papa and a good dad who gives good gifts to His children.

As parents, we don’t always give our children what they want. We protect them from things and people that might cause them harm. Sometimes we discipline them to teach them right from wrong. At times, children do not listen to their parents and must learn hard lessons. Everything we do is out of love for them. God is no different. Let this be the frame for the words you are about to read from the Lord.

On December 2nd of, 2021, I began to hear from the Lord. However, I found myself telling the Lord that I could not write the words I was hearing. His response compelled me to write. With tears and a quivering hand, the following words came:

“Say to the people. The time of the Lord is now. The cleansing has begun. Those born of evil; repent. You have been put on notice. Your deeds will be allowed no more. Those who preach falsely from the pulpit; repent. Cry out to the Lord whom you proclaim to know. Seek forgiveness before the day of the Lord. Know again who I am. Recall my power and love. Your words fall softly on the ears of your students, those whom you lead. Know that I am the Lord. I will tolerate your lies no longer. Hear me and repent. False prophets beware; your time is at hand. Hear the word of the Lord. See the works of my hand. Change the words that cross your tongue. Remove the lies of the evil one. Speak words of Truth, or you shall see the hand of God fall upon you. Evil seeks to prevail, but their efforts are in vain. They will run, those born of evil, the spirits they serve. They will run and hide from the hand of the Lord who seeks them. They cannot hide; no mercy shall be theirs.”

Lord, my prayer is that those you intended to read these words will read and heed them. In Jesus name, Amen.

Parallels of the Times

By Randal Dowdy • 12 Apr, 2024

After my quiet time this morning, the first thing on my to-do list was transcribing day 1435 from my journal. I begin numbering the days since the shekinah glory of the Lord descended on our home, which lasted for ten days in March 2019. About two months after the encounter, the Lord began speaking to me about future events and has continued to do so. During the last five years, the theme of the Lord’s words has not changed. If we do not repent as a nation, he, in his goodness and love, will bring judgment on our land. In reading the second and third chapters of Jeremiah this morning, I could not help but think about the parallels of the times. As God brought judgment on Israel, he will bring judgment on the United States. We have forgotten God. “Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number.” Jeremiah 2:32b We have sought evil, not goodness. Our gods are idols of money, things, power, and status. “Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have changed their glory for worthless idols. Be appalled at this, O heavens, and shudder with great horror.” Declares the Lord. Jeremiah 2: 11-12 God has often told me, “Your country as you know it is no more.” God, in his love, will bring judgment on our land, but it will not last forever. “I will frown on you no longer, for I am merciful, declares the Lord. I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt.” Jeremiah 3:11 excerpt On the 13 th of February 2023, the Lord said, “I have heard your praise. My courts sing my praise as you sing my praise. I, the Lord God, am worthy of all praise. A man desires to prophesy, but does he listen to my voice when I speak? Do the people listen to the words I give them? No, they laugh and mock, refusing to believe words so grand, words full of wonder and truth from the Lord on High. Those who do not listen will perish—the folly of their unfaithfulness their downfall. Why do my people not listen? Why do my teachers not speak against the evil before them? Why do they not cast it to the pit by the mighty name of the Lord God, Jesus, on high? Their ignorance will be called out; their leaders will be held accountable for their lack of faithfulness to the truth of my word. My word, the word of Almighty God, has been polluted, distorted, cast aside, and thrown into the dung heap. My heart weeps. I have no choice. I, the Lord, must act. I will lay waste to the idols man has worshiped, to the cities built in honor of themselves. Parents have not told their children. Such is the way of wickedness. Such is the way that fools follow the foolhardy. Parents will be held accountable for their children; they will be held accountable for themselves. I, the Lord, made them. I, the Lord, made all things to bring honor and glory to me, to have my creation sing of my goodness and faithfulness. I, the Lord, did this for the fellowship of man. I, the Lord, made all that is, the stars, the heavens, and all that is in them to bring me glory, for man to see that there is one greater than he. I have healed the sick in my faithfulness. I have pulled man from the pit of death in my faithfulness, in the love I have for every man and creature I have created. Has man marveled at my wonder? Do they see the mighty works of my hand and know that one exists greater than them? No! They have squandered my faithfulness for the lusts of the flesh, for the temporary pleasures born of the evil one. Eyes have been blinded in numbers unseen for all creation. Yet I, the Lord, patiently wait for man to look to me, to look to the love and faithfulness that created them. But they look not. They look upon themselves with wonder at the things they have created with the hands I have given them. They have shouted their praise, not praise to the Lord. When cities fall, and the earth has washed away under their feet, will they cry out to me? O, they will cry out. They will cry out and curse the God of judgment, the God who has brought calamity to their land. They will raise their hand as it falls to the depths of the earth, never to be raised again. This is the thing I, the Lord, must do. Can wickedness exist with holiness? My cloak will not be stained with the ignorance of the wicked. I, the Lord, will not have that. I, the Lord, deserve none of it. But I, the Lord, will hear those whose hearts cry to me in repentance. Those whose eyes see what their pride has brought them, why their arrogance has rested pain on their doorstep. They will cry out to me, and I will listen, for I am a good God. I, the Lord, will gather them to my bosom and protect them. I, the Lord, will shield them under my wing as disaster unseen falls upon the land. Cities will burn, and houses will crumble; herds and flocks will hunger and thirst, looking for land to graze and water not found. My people, young and old, will understand that there is but one God, and I am he. There is one God who can shelter and feed them, but one God who can save them from the storm born of mercy. There is one God, and I am he, the Lord God Almighty, who saves.”

The Time Is Upon You

By Randal Dowdy • 03 Apr, 2024

On March 8th, 2022 the Lord gave me these words. "The time is upon you. I have had my fill. Man says there is no God. If there is a God, where is he? My voice will thunder, declaring my praise. Mountains will tremble, seas will roar, a song by my mouth and true to my glory. Watch the hand of the Lord shake the foundations of the earth. Watch as I, the Lord, declare my presence and authority. Watch! Is love not declared in my authority? If not, then where is it found? Is it found where no caring exists? Where there is no heart for others? Is love found when widows starve, when children go hungry? Is love found when man thirsts for water, the means of existence? Man does not find love in these places. Only the love of the Lord is found. Do men full of the world's wealth care about the fatherless, those in need? Do they look upon them in their squalor and weep? They sit in high places of their own making, not caring to see beyond their selfish desires born out of deceit and wickedness. I, the Lord, have had my fill of their gluttony and perversion. Can their might save them in the presence of their maker? They will be turned to dust, those I have chosen. Others will repent as they behold the hand of the Holy One. I say I have had my fill. My people are slaughtered by wickedness, those not caring to believe that a God who judges looks upon their deeds in disgust. Their eyes will see the destruction of idols, those things their evil hearts have exalted above me. The one who gave his all out of love. The one who gives each breath they take. Who cares for their children? Those forgotten in their misery. Those sold to men for profit. Those sold by vile men to inflict pain and misery in abuse of the weak. I, the Lord, care! I, the Lord, spew them from my mouth. I, the Lord, will show my hand of thunder to them. Striking them blows from which they cannot recover. I, the Lord, will crush their wickedness.” “My people, those forgotten by man. Those who suffer on account of me will see the hand of the Lord fall on their oppressors, never to rise again. The oppressed will see their God, see their protector. They will see the one whom they have cried to for justice. The one who holds their tears. They will see their tears filling the lungs of their oppressors, drowning in the misery they have brought. They will see the love of the Lord born of the authority He carries. They will see the love of the one who has not forgotten. The one who loves them without end.“I say repent if you are guilty. Repent if your heart is vile. Repent of idols born of self, born of the treasure of an evil world. Repent if you have led others astray. Repent of your sin. Call out to the one who gave it all, who has the power to cleanse you. Call to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who slumber wake up. Those who blind their eyes to suffering open them. Hear the words of the Lord. Bow low in their presence. Tremble at their authority. Have peace in the love that surrounds them. Have peace in the love of Him who speaks to them. See the lord of love. Worship Him, for He is your King.
