Introduction:
How to Use This Companion With Study Guide
THE MESSAGE OF The Harbinger has taken on a life of its own.
It has been that way from the beginning. Even before I committed it to written form as a book, it was as if the message was meant to spread. From the first moment that I shared the first part of the revelations that would become The Harbinger, the message began to go forth. The recording of that teaching began to spread across the country. People held showings of it in their homes for guests; churches began showing it in their services. There was a growing call among those who had seen or heard it that the message had to go forth to the nation and its leaders.
When I finally sat down to write what would become The Harbinger in the form it now appears, it was almost as if the book was writing itself. The words just flowed out, as if the message was meant, from the beginning, to go forth in book form. I had never written a book before, and as the leader of several ministries, I had little spare time to devote to it, and yet in a short time The Harbinger was done.
I then had to decide what to do next. I was told that most books are never published and most publishers arent interested in first-time authors they know nothing about. That same week, on my way to Dallas, in the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, I lifted The Harbinger to the Lord, asking Him to send forth His word by His arm. As I opened my eyes, something quite supernatural happened that caused The Harbinger to go forth as a book. I didnt do anything but close my eyes and bow my headbut the word had to go forth.
Because of all thisthe message itself, the way it came, and the way it went forthI had no doubt that it would reach many people. But I didnt expect it to happen so quickly. The Harbinger was released as a book in the first days of January 2012. That first week it became a New York Times best seller. Now, as I write this, many months later, it still goes forth as a national best seller. Those who know more about these things than I do have told me its become a phenomenon.
I cannot remember a day thats gone by since the book came out that we havent received messages from around the country from people whose lives are being changed by it. The Harbinger is being preached in pulpits across the nation. Bible study groups and book clubs are focusing on it. Movements of repentance and prayer have been inspired and started up because of it. Massive amounts of people from outside the evangelical faith are reading it. People are repenting, people are consecrating their lives, and people are coming to the Lord.
Many have felt that the message of The Harbinger needs to go forth to those in government. That too is happening. Weve now received reports, for instance, that in one state every member of the legislature, including the governor, has received a copy of the book. The Harbinger has even reached Capitol Hill. Several members of Congress, senators and representatives, have sent word concerning the book. One well-known member of the House of Representatives has reported that something is stirring on Capitol Hill, and its because of the book. Another very famous member of Congress read the book and got in touch expressing a strong burden for Americas future; he came to New York City specifically to pray at Ground Zero.
This all connects with a strong sense felt among believers across the nation, namely that America is in deep crisis and in danger. The Harbinger reveals that this is not just a feeling but reality. The message of The Harbinger has gone forth at the same time that this sense of crisis and danger among believers has greatly intensified in urgency.
From the time The Harbinger has been released up to the time of this writing, the mainstream of American culture has continued to move ever farther from God and the ways of God. At the same time, the very deep and growing sense of crisis and alarm among believers has led to more and more movements of prayer.
And just as ominously, since The Harbinger came out, what the book foreshadowed is actually coming true. The harbingers are continuing. There is not here space to go into it, but suffice it to say, the mystery, the pattern, and the progression are continuing.
Given the overall direction of American culture before and after 9/11, people have asked me if there is any hope for the nation. In view of the message of The Harbinger, how can there be any hope? Its just the opposite. Only if there were no harbingers, no signs, and no warnings, would there be no hope. A warning implies the possibility of response, of heeding the warning. If the harbingers are signs, then so is the fact that what was deemed the miracle of 9/11, the saving of St. Pauls Chapel, happened through the Sycamore of Ground Zero, one of the Nine Harbingers. This underscores a pointthe purpose of the harbingers, and the purpose of The Harbinger, is not to consign a nation to judgment but to warn it, to wake it up, that it might not be judged.
