Note: The Prophetic Alliance was pleased to receive Robert Holmes and Mario Lui as their Houston stop on November 5, 1998. The message he brought our city was provoking and comforting. What follows below is the structural outline of the agenda the Lord gave Robert for this trip. He visited the different cities as the Lord directed and returned to Australia, the Lord having provided for every expense. We were very blessed by his visit here.

This prophecy was received during a three day retreat to Weddin National Park NSW Australia. Robert had been earnestly seeking the Lord regarding the United States. During a powerful encounter with Jesus the Lord began to show him an overview of world events, specific events soon to occur in the USA and concluded with specific addresses to the seven cities he was to visit. Following is an account of the prophecy. His own observations have been placed in square brackets.
Global Trends
The overarching theme for the next few years comes from Isaiah 58: "If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday. The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places" (vs 9-11). If we have our focus right - set on those in need, then we shall be a great light in the rising darkness and God promises us that he will guide and strengthen us continually.
Great tribulation is coming upon the earth and many parts of the world will be thrown into turmoil. Japan will buckle further, China will begin to flex her well toned muscles. Russia will continue to escape her debt, and throw money at things she should not. This will be at the expense of millions of common citizens.
The apostle John was shown a time, which I believe is very near at hand. "Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"" (Rev 6:6).
The Lord reminded me of a word I delivered in 1995: "The war in Bosnia will go on for years - the casualties will outnumber those of the gulf war. It will surpass it in terms of the weapons employed and the nations involved. Major international tension will build up as nations take side over NATO strikes." I believe this is about to come to pass.
I was also reminded of a warning about war in the Middle East received in 1995: "Do not write off the Middle East, Hussien has developed biological and chemical weapons, but these will be uncovered. By this time they have become a nuclear threat. The offspring of Abraham's illegitimate child will yet cause great strife. We are now in a time where the middle east is equipped with weapons of mass destruction.
There are about to be released, plagues on the earth - mutations of existing and prevalent viruses, revival of those defeated and new strains. Watch for a fourth generation of AIDS/ HIV and for communicable cancer. The only place of healing will be found in the church.
Specific signs in the USA
The overarching theme for the USA comes from Isaiah 59:19 "Those in the west shall fear the name of the LORD, and those in the east, his glory; for he will come like a pent-up stream that the wind of the LORD drives on." I believe the time of judgement has arrived for the west, and we shall fear the name of the Lord. Those in the east will fear his glory, for He shall arise and demonstrate his great power in those nations.
There will shortly come a time when Wall Street will collapse. No longer shored up by public confidence it will swagger under the weight of national debt. On a day of frenzied trading it shall tumble the nation into turmoil and depression.
The attention of the creditor nations will be drawn to America. I saw a time of conferences and meetings, international concern and intervention by prominent international organisations in domestic economics and affairs. For the first time in US history international organisations will intervene in domestic affairs. I saw international troops on US soil. A National economic crisis, and localised crises will be announced, and utilising certain powers the US president will call the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) into action. You will see black helicopters on television and this will be a sign. When she is weakest a set of disasters will befall the nation.
Some Specific Signs:
There will be youth murders in Jefferson county (the state was not specified).
There will be drought and more drought in Madison county (the state was not specified).
God is going to bring specific judgment against 'panelled houses'. Some of the most detestable church buildings are in the East. This judgment will be according to Haggai 1:4.
Some of these church structures are going to fall with a crash heard across the nation.
God is going to judge many of the so called prophets according to Micah 3:5-7. The Lord said, "Your prophets have not just stolen food but money and offerings from the poor, the infirm and the widow."
Watch Salem. The Lord said, "The blood from Salem has reached my ears, I shall hold back no more!"
Watch Los Angeles. The Lord said, "Ahhh Los Angeles, Los Angeles why have you ignored my warnings? Parts of you shall become as New Orleans [under sea level] and parts of you as parched as the sands of Las Vegas [dry as sand without irrigation]."
Specific Cities
1. Houston, Texas
"I know your works, how you have laboured in reaching out to the world. I see your earnest support of missions and reaching a dying people. I also know your pioneering spirit, and your creativity, the strength of fellowship and chivalry.
But these things I have against you. You follow after idols of sport and have partaken of building a temple stadium to its honour. There are crosses on fire and I hate those who hate my children. Do not tolerate such destruction as is done in my name. Stop the burning. Return to your first love.
Put away from you the love of money and wealth, used by many to build panelled houses and expensive churches. Wash your hands of the blood stained soil, for the men of old who murdered in my name. If you have an ear to hear, then listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. Be earnest and repent. To everyone who conquers I will give access to the Tree of Life which is in the Paradise of God."
2. St. Louis, Missouri
"I know you have been the beginnings for many and have stumbled and not been able to complete. But you shall be part of the end of all things in my time. Though another city has claimed the title, you are the heart of the nation.
But these things I have against you. You bear the arch as though you triumph but you do not display the triumph of Christ's victory over death and hell. You are surely named after one called saint but you trade by the spirit of his memory instead of living by it. For this I esteem you not.
See in your midst there is such tolerance and a form of godliness without my Power, yet you do not tolerate race and colour. Remove supremacy from your midst. Divide not by creed, race, wealth, status or control. If you have an ear then listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Whoever conquers will not be harmed but the second death but will taste eternal life."
3. Love County, Oklahoma
"I know your freedom - your wide open skies. I see you spread your wings to fly, now come to me. I know the liberty, your fore-fathers fought for, but now you have lost it all. You have sought to be cosmopolitan but have accepted all sorts of things in the name of God.
But these things I have against you. Your hands are stained with blood and the ground cries out to me for justice. Be earnest and repent for the sins of slaughter of the innocents - even in this generation. That is why you have drought, and you shall have drought again. This generation has made for itself idols of men and monuments of movements. Behold! I share my throne with no-one and I am respecter of no one's person. There is only One God, only one Shepherd and His name is Jesus.
Press on, press on, hear the sound of new music coming from the hills and mountains. Even as it came from the high places in the past so it shall come again. If you have an ear then listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To everyone who conquers I will give Christ - the manna from heaven to eat of daily and a new name."
4. Mobile Bay Area, Alabama
"I know your works, your perseverance in the day of trial and your endurance in disaster. Some of you labour diligently for the catch and are even now preparing for harvesting.
But these things I have against you. Why do you weep, and why do you mourn? Why do you cry as though you have kissed my Son and turned his anger? The day is near at hand and many of you have not prepared. What will I find when I return?
Instead I find many at leisure, whilst time wastes away. Where is your strength and shield? Will you endure to the very end having fallen asleep already? The Son is coming to strike the earth with the Rod of His mouth! Awake O sleeper, arise and shake yourself while there is yet time!
There shall indeed sound thunder in the bay - to some the sound of victory and life, but to others the sound of terror and of death. If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To those who conquer and endure to the end I will give authority over the nations, to rule with an iron rod. I will give them the Morning Star."
5. Kansas City, Missouri
"I know your works. You have beheld the True Man among you - a godly leader and righteous. You have put out from among you many who hold to heresy and you have earnestly sought the truth. You say you have chiefs, but I urge you to seek again Him who is Chief among men!
But these things I have against you. Yes you are the supplanter, but like Jacob I have blessed you. You have taken from others what rightfully belongs to them, but many among you remain true to that which I have given you.
You are a melting pot for the nations. My church is called to be a lighthouse and a house of prayer for all nations yet you are divided. You straddle the river but are divided by her. You segregate one from another. Of this repent.
See I am placing a fountain in your midst - its waters will never run dry. They shall bring the hope from life to life, but to another it shall bring poisoning of death to death. Who is sufficient for these things? If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. If you conquer I shall clothe you in white raiment, and will not take your name from the book of life. I will confess you before heaven."
6. Charlotte, North Carolina
"I know your works. You have fought the good fight against Free Masonry and secret societies, you have rallied against the synagogue of Satan (though some among you still belong to him). You have walked in the ways of your founding fathers and this is good.
But this I have against you. You have failed to walk in religion that is pure and undefiled before God, that is to care for orphans and widows and to keep yourself unstained by the world. Wherein have I found you lacking, do you feed the hungry, clothe those who are naked or show hospitality to the alien?
Yet upon yourselves you show no restraint in the building of panelled houses and extravagant church structures! These I hate for the injustice done in my Kingdom. Return to me says the Lord. Instead of trade and finance, return to the ways of your fathers and obey and serve the Lord.
If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. I am full of patience and endurance. To him who overcomes I will make a stone and a pillar in the house of God and you shall trade in the heavenly city."
7. Tri-County, Florida [Miami, Ft Lauderdale, West Palm Beach]
"I know your works, how you have not tolerated that woman Jezebel nor those who follow her. The prevalence of military bases in your midst is a sign of the good fight you engage in.
But these things I have against you. How is it that you have become ensnared by the pride of life and been taken by the lust of the flesh? Be earnest and repent, set you heart on things above, not on the earth beneath. How is it that some of you chose the legends of old, and others wash in new age practices instead of coming to the age old foundation which is Christ?
I counsel you - return to your first love. You were settled by those who kissed the Son, return to those ways again. If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give a place with me, I have conquered and now reign with the Father."
