Opinions on Pastor Dana Coverstone regarding Sept through November?

Hi All,
I hope I am not out of order starting a conversation on this topic.If I am Greg please erase.As you may know I am not hold to many of the views on SI on persecution.I believe their are times of persecution and times that their is relatively low amounts of persecution.I also believe that we mix up persecution and tribulation as subjects.I am pretrib but do believe that we will have times of persecution.

After saying all that Pastor Dana Coverstione has caught my attention regarding his prophetic dreams.
I believe he is sincere but that doesnt mean he is right or wrong.
I believe he believes what he is saying
He does not come across to me as being anyway hyper pentecostal.
His dreams have are very specific and time framed.
He is not making any money from his videos and nor does he seem to be courting any fame.

Why I put this up is because I am not American nor live in the US and am concerned with the content and its effects on US Christians if correct.
So I didnt link the videos if you want to find them just do a simple search .
If Greg could perhaps comment on this and what he thinks I think it would be helpful and useful ,urs staff

Doing about 10 seconds of research reveals he is of the extreme prepper ilk, links to articles at "zero hedge” website. Preparing within reason I suppose is fine but when he said to arm and ammo up, I just have a hard time imagining Jesus saying that.

I think he should stop reading 40 newspapers a day. We usually dream about things we are stressed over and reading that much media can’t help but seep into our unconscious.

I am sure we have all had "apocalyptic” dreams from time to time but we just generally don’t go on YouTube to tell them to the world.

Plus doesn’t he say that Covid would die out by June? That didn’t work out so hot.

102- Mario Murillo Response to Pastor Dana's Dream here:

(I changed the web address to Mario's original message from his channel)

Mario said:
- understand the difference between preparation & panic
- the greatest survival preparation in the world is right relationship with God, that will cover everything
- Isaiah 26:20-21
- Judgment is surgical, every successful surgical is the removal of what's killing you for the survival of healthy tissue. We are about to watch God decimate sections of the American culture in the next few months...

this is just a taste of the video! Watch it if you can!!!

God bless,

Hi Lysa,
I dont think the buying up of arms was him saying that buying arms was from God.I think that was his conclusion. His conclusion was wrong similar to the prophet Agabus who bound his hands and feet warning Paul about what would happen if he stayed on his present course but it doesnt negate the Dreams he had as being wrong.
You could put Dana's dreams and Mario's response together as a complete message ie this is what is going to happen(dana) and here is how your response should be(murillo) urs staff

Thanks Greg,
I think also that the Plymouth Prayer Event in October also takes on a great significance considering what is going on in the US and hopefully it will have a great impact ,staff

Staff-

Why are you so quick to put stock in this guys alleged dreams?

About 6 billion people dream every night.

Hi TMK,
A few reasons,
1.Its biblical that God communicates through dreams
2.God has communicated to me through dreams
3.About 20 yrs ago God showed me that Christians trust a person who says they have a "vision" from God over a person that says they had a "dream" from God because everybody like you say has dreams but only Christians have visions.So when Christians say they have a dream their is always the question mark is this gobbledegook? or is it from the Lord?
4.This man comes across as believing what he is saying himself to be true,he seems to be humble and not seeking glory or fame and seems to be warning for the correct reasons.
5.He is being very specific time wise and whether the dream is from the Lord can be measured .
6.The bible says that people will dream dreams and have visions and just because their maybe counterfeits or dreams that turn out to be gobbledegook doesnt mean I should through the baby out with the bathwater,urs staff

Hi TMK,
Also I am not that quick to put stock in Dana Coverstones dreams as I am asking what other Christians point of view is on them and listening to whether their points of view are valid.
Another thing the only way a Prophetic voice can gain credibility is that what the Prophet says comes to pass.If it does come to pass perhaps if something even more important comes down the line he will have crediblity to be listened too,staff

Well, he put himself out there no doubt about that.

As with all prophets or those claiming to have a prophesy there is a three-fold test:

1) Does what they say come to pass? If not, they are false.

2) If what they say does come to pass, are they encouraging us to follow after other gods? If so, they are false.

3) Whether or not what they say comes to pass or whether their theology is good or not is trumped by the fruit they bear. If they don't bear good fruit, they are false.

Here is a situation you will not have: they bear good fruit, what they said came to pass, they encourage you to follow Jesus biblically, but they are a false prophet. That doesn't happen. Neither does this: they bear bad fruit, what they say does not come to pass, they don't encourage you to follow Jesus biblically, but they are a true prophet.

I saw this video also. Personally, I do not know what to make of it. Having said that I do not think it takes a whole lot of common sense to know what will likely happen in the future with what is going on right now in our country. God always judges sin and when he will do this is the question we are facing.

If we study history we see many waves of anarchy that occur in the world. What is different with the current situation is that it is global - not sure that any nations is not at some level involved. This raises a lot of concern.

As for me, I will choose to live one day at a time and not worry about the future according to concepts shared in the book of Ecclesiastes.

I don't know, either.

I think he is sincere, etc. I don't doubt the brother's heart. I wonder about his wisdom on these videos.

Let's be honest: The bible itself provides these warnings. Those with ears to hear and eyes to see (nothing mystical beyond the Lord's faithfulness to His people to enable understanding for the diligent student of the Word) can see what this brother warns for the church.

It would be far more helpful, in my view, if he came with a word born from study and prayer as opposed to dreams with debatable symbols that rely on his own impressions to explain. I believe he has the dreams. I also believe it is possible that these are God-given dreams and that he may ought to not divulge the dreams themselves but to let them inform him to go to the word. I firmly believe God tells his prophets what he's doing, but I don't assume that means go say to everyone exactly how He "tells" that in the Spirit. Whatever He does say you can be sure the Bible will be there to give it substance and accountability for understanding.

Seems like a very nice man, though.
