Over this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, I kept having a strong impression the DOW would rise 100 points on Monday, today. That it may not close 100 points higher but it will rise over 100 points.
Then, Sunday evening (yesterday), I heard and saw that on September 16, 2009 the DOW will be above 10,000.
I somewhat resisted these two words from the Lord, questioning if I really heard Him correctly because it is opposite was the “experts” are saying. Every investor, economist or analyst I have read claims the rally since early March is just a bear market rally. Everyone is expecting a 10% market correction, or even a retesting of the March low (about 6500 on the DOW). Also, some prophetic Christians – I am sure they are wonderful, loving people – also believe this is just a bear market rally and the market will correct severely with a dramatic sell off taking the DOW to the March 2009 lows or even further. Some of these prophetic Christians believe this will happen in September 2009. Others believe the recession will last 3 ½ years, in other words through the middle of 2011, but that the market may rise before the recession ends. The only prophet I know who believes the economy will turn around swiftly is Kim Clement.
I disagree with the experts and Christians who claim we are due for a severe correction between now and September. As I mentioned in my first post, I have a strong burden of prayer and intercession for the stock market. For the retirees and all those who have lost money in the market. That God will turn around the economy and market – despite what the news and analysts and prognosticators say – for His glory. Also, those who listen to what the Lord is saying, hear Him themselves, will profit while others are fearful and on the sidelines. But it takes faith. And He will get the credit for the increase of wealth for His kingdom’s sake.
So I admit I had a struggle last night with the wonderful future for the market that I saw and heard. I told the Lord I was not going to post this in the blog unless the DOW rose at least 100 points on Monday (today). If it did, I would then trust the word that the DOW will be above 10,000 on September 16, 2009.
As I write, the DOW is up over 175 points. I bought more long positions today. I don’t share my actual investments because you must hear from the Lord for yourself (as a hint for the novice investor, DIA is a way to invest in the DOW). He is talking and will talk to those who will use the wealth that He increases to give Him the credit and to bless others (the needy and poor, extending the grace and miracles of Jesus, etc.) as well as your needs (such as paying off your credit card and mortgage debt). May you hear what He is speaking, which is often the opposite of what the secular experts are saying!
Update as of June 13, 2009 11 am: Where 10,000 appears it has replaced the number 12,000 as of today. Nothing else in the text has been edited in this original post. The reason for the correction is I have believed with conviction all the numbers of the DOW from the Lord: 7200, 7500, 7800, 8200, 8600 , and 9200, and the time frames of 8200 in April and 9200 in June and the DOW staying above 8600. But I have not had the same conviction about 12,000 by mid September. Originally the number I had heard was 10,000 but I had such great faith I also heard and thus expected 12,000. Whether I was right or wrong in my initial post, the Lord can change His mind on His actions as shown by many, many accounts in the Bible. As of this writing, the correct number from the Lord is the DOW above 10,000 on September 16, 2009. By the way my birthday is in September and I asked the Lord for this birthday present, that by His word coming true many would be blessed. Please see also the post today that there will be a modest correction after the DOW goes to 9200 but before it goes to 10,000.
Update as of July 30, 2009 at 7:00 am: The DOW broke up through 9200 today, only one month later than when I prophesied on April 28, 2009 that it would happen by or in June 2009. Why the one month delay to July 2009? I either heard wrong or God changed His mind on timing. Either way, I have been fully invested in my portfolio knowing God said the market would go to 9200 and then 10,000. Also, on May 19, 2009 He said there would be a “jump” in the market after the “hop” and “skip” were completed (it looks like the “jump” is happening this July 2009 and might take us to all the way to 10,000). More commentators and economists are saying we have turned the corner on the bear market and are in the beginning of a bull market as I heard from the Lord on June 7, 2009.
Update as of September 16, 2009: Please see the words of the Lord to me on April 28, 2009, again on May 18 & 19, 2009, and on June 13, 2009 where He said, "Watch me, 10,000 in September 2009. A present to my children and those not yet my children. A birthday present because Catherine has asked for one, a birthday party where everyone receives presents. I will repair with air, with that which you cannot see. Rejoice because I will inflate your portfolios! Rest in My words, I am doing things you cannot see. You see air, but I will inflate, I will inflate your smile!" I incorrectly assumed the DOW would go to 10,000 by my birthday on September 16, which is mid September. But the Lord simply stated in September. I am the one who added "mid September" and "by September 16". Please accept my apologies as these additions were not in the original word from the Lord. On September 16, 2009 the DOW closed at 9791, a stone's throw of only 209 points or a mere 2.1% increase to 10,000.
Update as of September 29, 2009: The DOW reached a high of 9917 on September 23, just 83 points from 10,000. Perhaps the precise price of 10,000 was not reached in September but the DOW approximated 10,000. The DOW didn't decline steeply in September, as many prophesied, and it also reached 10,000 well before year end. Mark Skousen, an economist expected the DOW to reach 10,000 by year end (I learned of his secular forecast after I first prophesied the DOW to 10,000 in September). I am not aware of anyone who expected the DOW to be close to 10,000 in as early as September. So with the results that happened this month, I believe the Lord spoke clearly about the DOW to 10,000 as a September birthday present.
Update as of October 14, 2009: The DOW closed at 10,015 today.
"Sierra" - About Me
- Prophetic Trader
- I am a prophet in arenas which I call "the fields I plow", primarily that of the U.S. economy, politics and stock market, but also whatever else He shares with me. He graciously has expanded the scope of sharing with me over the years. I am transparent in this blog. You will witness a prophetic person fairly new to prophesying publicly exhibit some immaturity, which I have not deleted, but hopefully you will see growth and increased maturity over time. I often spend hours a day with the Lord to cultivate the gifts for the fields He has called me to. It is the craving of every fiber in my being to be close to Jesus Christ and the Father and I hunger to sit at His feet like Mary. I believe this is the birth place of a prophet and He has and is birthing many prophets across the world to speak over and pray for many issues. Sometimes it is the most excruciating thing you will do as your flesh is crucified in this calling. But it is also the most glorious thing to be drawn closer and closer to Him. It is worth the cost, but please know it is a painful and frustrating cost at times, should you desire it. I hope you desire it!
I value your friendship and prayers.
