Prophecy For The Philippines

Recently, due to many requests, The 700 Club Asia featured the audiotape of Cindy Jacobs' inspiring prophecy for the Philippines. Special guest was Pastor Jerome Ocampo, head of the Jesus Revolution revival crusade, who was in the United States when the prophecy was given.

The prophecy was delivered unexpectedly and extemporaneously last October 27, 2001. The venue was the "Catch the Fire" conference of Harvest International Ministries in California, U.S.A..

Cindy Jacobs, American founder and head of a worldwide prayer network: Generals of Intercession, author of three bestselling books on prayer, prophecy and spiritual warfare; and widely recognized "prophet to the nations" was an invited speaker.

At one point in the conference, two of a handful of Filipinos there, Pastor Jerome Ocampo and his wife Annabelle, were called onstage. They were prayed for and asked to receive the financial "love offering" for the day to benefit the "Jesus Revolution" youth revival to be held at the Luneta in Manila the next month. Cindy Jacobs was invited onstage to make the call for support for the revival.

When Cindy came up, she immediately sensed a stirring in her spirit.. "Don't you feel a sense of destiny on this stage?" remarked the prophetically gifted intercessor who had been to the Philippines once in 1996 for a conference.

"She was shaking," recalls Jerome as Cindy turned towards them. "It's as if she couldn't hold back what she wanted to say. It just exploded, tuluy-tuloy." In a high, clear, commanding voice, the words gushed out from Cindy in a torrent, without a single pause. Her prophecy was amazingly specific and accurate," Jerome marveled.. This is what she said:

PROPHECY FOR THE PHILIPPINES

"Jerome, the Lord would say to the Philippines -I am shaking everything that can be shaken so that no man can glory in what I will do. For I have waited for a generation that I could raise up a purity and a holiness in. And I am raising up firebrands!

There is a forerunner anointing coming upon the youth of the Philippines that will prepare the way of the Lord, even into the Middle East. Look and see what I will do in Mindanao. For I am going to visit in a way that you cannot imagine! I am coming to Mindanao, says the Lord, as God and the Lord of Hosts, and I am going to start appearing. As a sign that I am going to truly change the nation, I am going to show myself to the guerilla leaders. I am going to come, says the Lord, and I am going to begin at the places in the Philippines that have been the bloodiest; the places where the guerillas' insurrection have been the strongest. And I am going to come with signs and wonders and miracles! I am getting ready to pour out a miracle anointing upon the Philippines such as the earth has never seen! For Indonesia, they had a mighty rushing wind. But in the Philippines they will have the fire from heaven that will begin to fall! And this will be a purging fire! And I will say, I will visit even as if in a day, says God. Do not think that I am not able to come in a day and begin to unravel the iniquities of the nation, says the Lord!

I am going to visit the military. I am getting ready to come among the young in the military. And the Lord says, there's going to be a revolution of righteousness that comes within the military.

I'm getting ready to dethrone everything that needs to be dethroned, for even the bowls of heaven are full. Oh, I see the bowls in heaven are just getting ready to be tipped over the Philippines and I am going to spill out my glory!

And the Lord says, I will remove the shame that Satan has tried to put upon this nation! And the Lord says, look and see, for even the blood of the martyrs cries out from Saudi Arabia! The blood of the martyrs cries out from those Islamic nations, and my Filipino people that have laid their lives down. Do not think I haven't seen it! Do not think I am looking away! Do not think I do not see you! Do not think I do not see you, Philippines; for I see you! You are the apple of my eye! You are a treasure unto me!

This is the day and this is the hour when I begin to change everything, says the Lord! I'm going to change the judicial system. I'm going to dethrone corrupt judges. I'm getting ready to deal with the police force. I'm going to expose, expose, expose, expose!

And the Lord says, look and see what I will do! For I will open up my treasure chest from the Philippines! And I am going to release finances for the Philippines that will surprise and shake even Hongkong! For I am getting ready to move a distribution of wealth, says God. And I am getting ready to open the oil! I am getting ready to open that which is in the ocean! I'm getting ready to bring forth a revolution even in the economic systems, in the finance systems!

Look to the university in Manila, says God. For I am going to bring a revival that the-Oh my Lord!--- the Lord says, not hundreds, but thousands and thousands and thousands are going to get saved!! The Lord says, can I touch a whole university? Yes I can touch a whole university! I can come with my glory and I can come with my power in ways that you cannot imagine!

For I am coming, says God! I am coming and I will remain, says the Lord!
JEROME REFLECTS

Prophecy Partially Fulfilled

"That prophecy spoke to the need of our nation," reflects Pastor Jerome "Our being there was a divine setup by God." Jerome also notes that some of the predictions in the prophecy have already come to pass. "Forty-eight (48) hours after she spoke, they hit oil in Palawan in commercial quantity! We can use that as collateral to address our foreign debt. Two months after, President Gloria Macapagal declared that the coconut levy fund would be transformed into a public fund to better benefit Filipino farmers. That's one fulfillment of the prophecy on the redistribution of wealth." That month, the United States was still reeling from the September 11 terrorist attack. "But instead of prophesying for the U.S., she prophesied for the Philippines," Jerome noted, suggesting the urgency and priority of God's Word for our nation.

Message of Hope in Crisis

"It was so positive, so full of hope, after so many negative things being said about our country." Jerome describes Cindy's words which left him and his wife both weeping, and scarcely able to "crawl back to our seats." "Without the eyes of faith, we Filipinos will be discouraged, we seem to be in the deepest hole we've ever been. But God's words give us a deep sense of assurance that God cares for the Philippines and has a destiny for our nation. We're not at the mercy of chance, politicians, the economy."

The Filipinos Response

"We are entering a new season of hope. Before it was hope against hope. The prophecy is painting a dream for the Philippines. And we can verbalize it in prayers for our nation." says Jerome. His organization, Jesus Revolution, has responded with calls to intercession and fasting in different parts of the Philippines for a whole year to pray prophecy into reality. (One is scheduled March 16 , 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the Word of Hope Church on EDSA Av. just opposite Shoemart North Edsa.)

"The prophecy gave back our desire to make our nation great one more time. It's a baptism of confidence. We cannot let discouragement and negatives come upon us . We must speak and work positively, strive to be holy." Jerome describes the challenge of God's Word to act out in faith what He has already ordained and empowered to come to pass.

Call to the Youth

The prophecy describes that it is the "firebrands," the Filipino youth that will carry the flames of revival. "The whole generation that won our independence as a nation was composed of young people. And that love for country, love for God will come back with the same intensity," Jerome predicts. "We're going to see the birth of young, zealous revolutionaries for the Lord."

"One half, or 50% of our population is age 25 and below. They are not born to live their lives just any way they want. They're born for a destiny, not for drugs, or immorality, but to bring change upon this nation." One month after Cindy's prophecy, on Andres Bonifacio Day, Jesus Revolution launched a day of prayer and fasting that brought an estimated 150,000 people to Luneta, 85% of these were young people. "There's a fire among young people nationwide. We're going to do this again on March 27 in Western Visayas, November in Davao City, we want to do it in Aparri, Panay, Negros, Tacloban, Samar."

The Most Prophesied Generation

This has been the most prophesied (over) generation!", observes Jerome. "There's peace in my heart that God is going to visit our nation. And as Cindy said, He can do it in a day! Things are going to climax. There's such a hunger for change!" (Watch this website for Part II of Prophecies for the Philippines. )
