Prophetic Word given to Betty Miller on April 11, 1998
This word was re-emphasized in 2011
Today, as Passover is celebrated, it is a time to think about what I did as my people Israel were in bondage to the Egyptians. I gave Pharaoh numerous opportunities to let my people go. Each time he refused, until the night that “the death angel” passed by and all the firstborn of every household in the land died. Only those of my people who obeyed My instructions to place the blood of a lamb over the doorposts were spared. Because of the blood, “the angel of death” passed over those households (Exodus 12).
Even so today, as judgments in the world are claiming lives through evil and destruction, I will “pass over” those who claim the blood protection of Jesus Christ. The only safe place is in the shadow of My wings; obeying and doing My will.
I am pleased with those of you who are seeking me with your whole heart. Because you have been faithful to fast and pray about the violence and wickedness that is in your land, I am now going to speed up the workings of My Spirit. I must bring more judgment upon some of the evils around you, as I have exhausted my mercy and grace. Because many of my people have insisted on going their own way, they will now begin to reap what they have sown, as My word says, “If you sow unto the flesh, you shall of the flesh reap corruption.” This is NOT My will, but man’s own stubborn pride of refusing My way. My way is to pardon, to cleanse and to bless.
I am also going to begin My rewarding in a greater way to those that have been faithful to Me. I will bring you out of the bondage where the enemy has held you captive and restore that which the enemy has robbed from you. I want my people to be free of all that would hinder them. I have a mighty work prepared for them in this hour of the great Harvest.
For all of those who will totally commit to Me and obey Me, I will show them My power and My greatness. I not only will free you spiritually from evil habits and weaknesses, but from the financial bondage the enemy has sought to destroy you with. My people are called to be givers, and as they obey Me fully in this area, they will begin to see my hand in releasing them from the pressure of indebtedness. I will supply for and completely pay off all their debts, including the dwellings where I have placed them. You must not limit Me in this. Remember, I own the whole earth and the fullness thereof. Men are only stewards over what they claim as their own. They will give account of their possessions to Me.
Some have failed in their stewardship, and because they are not doing My will and not living where I would have them live, nor listening to My voice, they will suffer the loss of all their earthly possessions. This is NOT My will. I want to bless My people with the good things I have created for them, but so many have become indulgent and lustful. They have failed to serve Me as I have instructed. They cannot hear My voice because they have hardened their hearts to obeying Me.
For those who are obeying and following Me, this is the time for redemption. Do not limit Me! Expect miracles! Forgive and cancel all debts where others have failed you. As you do this, it frees Me to bless you. I will bring monies to you from a different source than from the one who owes you, if you will forgive their debts. Remember My word, “Give to every man that asketh of thee and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.” (Luke 6:30) Do not be fearful to release all to Me. As you do, I will restore and bless you another way. My restoration will also come in areas of broken relationships, as you love and forgive one another.
Troubles will increase in this world, as My coming is drawing nigh. The enemy has increased his efforts to destroy. However, there is a way of escape in Me. Stay close to Me and you shall escape the hour of destruction and “the death angel” shall pass over you and your family.
“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21).
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you might have peace. In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

What Is Prophecy?
By Betty Miller
As some may not be familiar with prophecy in the church, we want to share this short explanation of Biblical prophecy before we share an actual prophecy from God.
First, what is godly prophecy? It can be summed up as words that are spoken on behalf of God. A prophet or prophetess is one who is a spokesman for God. It is a divine utterance that comes from the Holy Spirit. (Note: Just as there are prophetic words from God, there are also false prophecies that the Lord warned us about in the Bible. In Matthew 7:15-16 Jesus said, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits–.” We must prove the source of prophecy before accepting it as coming from the Lord). God is raising up many prophetic voices in the earth today. His gifts of prophecy are basically of two types. One is the “simple gift of prophecy” which every believer can express under the unction or direction of the Holy Spirit after they have been filled with the Holy Ghost.
The other is the “office gift” of the spirit which is given to a prophet or prophetess who is called to the “five-fold” ministry office as outlined in 1 Corinthians 12:28 which says “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.” Also Ephesians 4:11-12 which says” And he gave some, apostles; and some prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
The basic difference between these two types is, the simple gift of prophecy is given to all spirit filled believers as spoken of in 1 Corinthians 14:31, “For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.” It is for the purpose of edification, exhortation and comfort as spoken of in 1 Corinthians 14:3, “But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.”
The “office gift” of a prophet or prophetess is given to speak to the body of Christ at large. The ministers who are called to the office of a prophet or prophetess will deliver messages also which include edification, exhortation and comfort but their messages can also be directive in nature and futuristic in content as well (Ephesians 4:11-15).
Presently God is leading His people with prophetic preaching and teaching. A prophetic movement is taking place in the world.
