TONE DOWN
 
Perhaps the prophetic word given through Sister Wilkerson that most affected my life is what I call the “tone-down prophecy.”
 
My husband had been sick for a very long time, and I was so involved with his care that I really wasn’t aware of what was happening in the Middle East in March and April 1986. But I was certain the Lord had told me to take a trip in April to Israel. Forty people, including servants of the Lord I’ve worked with from the seventies until this day, went on what we call “tone-down trip.”
 
I know now that in March 1986, Libya launched missiles against the United States’ Sixth Fleet, which was assembled off the Libyan coast. Libya’s Muammar Quaddafi ordered an attack on Americans “to cause maximum and indiscriminate casualties.” On April 5, a bomb exploded in a discotheque in Berlin frequented by United States’ service personnel. Of the two hundred injured, sixty-three were American soldiers. Libya was responsible.
 
On April 15 and 16, the United States launched a series of military air strikes against ground targets inside Libya.
 
On April 23, an Israeli security guard at London’s Heathrow Airport discovered explosives in the false bottom of a bag that a Jordanian, recruited by Syrian intelligence, had given to his pregnant Irish girlfriend. She was to take the bag on board an El A1 flight to Tel Aviv. The Jordanian was arrested and implicated the Syrian embassy.
 
Saber rattling against the United States’ ally, Israel, pervaded the Islamic Middle Eastern countries.
 
Abu Nidal, an international terrorist, vowed to take revenge on American or British tourists in Israel.
 
I did not know all this when Sister Wilkerson asked me to meet her at a fine restaurant in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At the end of the meal over the white, candlelit tablecloth she spoke these words: “Satan is trying to push things into happening before the time. God is sending you to say two words: Tone down. When you say them in the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit, they will have the same effect as when Jesus said to the storm, ‘Peace, be still.’ But if you say them in the flesh, then they will mean nothing.”
 
As we moved through Israel during the last few weeks of April 1986, we saw no other tourists—even at the popular sites. We were always aware of an Israeli military presence close by. And we were aware of another One, the Holy Spirit, who accompanied us to three holy but potentially dangerous sites. A white dove was with us inside the Upper Room, inside the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount, and was perched in a tree above, facing us as we took communion inside the Garden Tomb.
 
Two Britains were shot in the walkway to the Garden Tomb a day after we were there.
 
My daughter, Shelli Oaks, was with me when word came to us in Jerusalem that my husband had taken a turn for the worse. We went out onto the balcony of our hotel room to pray. We had not yet been prompted to utter the words we were sent to speak, so I did not feel released to leave. As I prayed, the Lord spoke to me from a Scripture that the words were to be spoken in the north. So I continued on with the group.
 
When we visited Katzerin in the Golan, Lynne Hammond was amazed at the Israeli jets swooping low over our heads just before making a 90 degree turn straight upward at the Syrian border. She said, “I can see the pilots’ eyes. I wish Mac could see this.” Pastor Mac Hammond, her husband, had been a fighter pilot in the Vietnam War.
 
As we stood on the border between Israel and Syria, with two mountains bearing the electronic eyes and ears of Israel pointed toward Damascus behind us and Syria before us, we knew in our spirits this was the place. In one loud voice, the forty of us, called by God to deliver the word, shouted, “Tone down! Tone down! Tone down!”
 
The late April skies were unseasonably dark, and ominous clouds boiled overhead. As soon as we shouted, “Tone down!” the clouds parted and the sun broke through. Our Israeli guide was astonished.
 
Just after we returned to the United States on April 30, one of the members of our group heard a network news reporter say, “Sources don’t really know how it happened, but the Middle East just seemed to tone down.”
 
I saw very clearly through instances like these that Sister Wilkerson heard and followed God’s voice. Her ministry indelibly marked my spirit and my own call to the Lord’s service. And although she has departed from the earth, what she prophesied is still a living part of our work today.

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT TAKE OVER
 
People have come to me asking all kinds of things. For example, people ask, “For what should I intercede? How do I intercede? Should I groan when I intercede?” Well, I have to say, forget terminology. Don’t stop to worry about such techniques when the plague is coming on. Don’t worry about whether you “moan” or “groan”—just let the Holy Spirit flow! The Holy Spirit knows what to pray for, and He’ll direct your prayer to the place where it is needed most.
 
People can become so distracted by the technicalities that they don’t know one prayer from another. When the plague strikes, there is no time to quarrel about technique. Just let the Holy Spirit take over. He knows how to handle the situation.
 
In Isaiah 53:12 we are told that Jesus “made intercession for the transgressors.” Jesus is still doing this today. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are interceding for every member of the church right now.
 
Believe for your loved ones to come into the fullness of Christ! Mothers, dads, young people, stand in the gap until you see the lost come to repentance. You can do it! When you see a plague of any kind breaking out among your loved ones, there is only one thing that can stop it: a willingness to stand in the gap until repentance occurs.
 
Mankind was born to be free, but sin has made him choose to go back into slavery and bondage many, many times. This is the reason I want to show you the necessity of maintaining this beautiful prayer life in the church. Any plague can be stopped when the church becomes the great intercessory power she was meant to be.

Thank You, Lord
Pleading the blood of Jesus over the borders of the United States
Lifting up every port to You, Father
Covering the waterways in the blood of Jesus
Uncover and reveal those things, Lord
Open up those ports in Jesus’ name!
Leaning not on our own understanding but putting all of our hope and trust in You
The blood of Jesus is surrounding every boundary!
Covered in the blood from the north to the south and from the east to the west
Open up the eyes and the ears to the truth of Your Word!
Those ways are being cleared up!
Show them the ways they need to go, Father
Turning things around today!
Watching over those things that are coming in and those things that are going out!
Pleading the blood over port authorities!
Lifting them before You today, Lord
Give them eyes to see and ears to hear
Thank You, Father, for steps that You have preordained for us to walk out
You have given us the power to walk out the plan and purpose You have set before us
Father, You have made a way where there seems to be no way!
You are our way-maker!
We seek You and receive increase from You, Lord
Help us to accomplish all that You have for us today!
