Lakeland, Florida Healing Outpouring and the Pacific Northwest

Introduction from Timothy Johnson:

We have rarely received such a powerful, important and timely prophetic Word for the Pacific NW like the one we just received from Prophet Bob Jones. This word was given at the first Statewide Apostolic & Prophetic gathering in Wenatchee, WA on April 19, 2008, and is already creating waves across the western states. We sincerely ask you to read this document carefully, listen to the word by Bob Jones (posted here) about the Lakeland, Florida Healing Outpouring and how it relates to the Pacific NW, and then also listen to the prophetic word given right after Bob’s by Keith Abrahams (who ordained Todd Bentley exactly 7 years along with Bobby Connor). We ask you to please forward this e-mail to as many friends, churches, and mailing lists as you know, and ask them to please do the same thing. This word needs to get out as far among the entire Body of Christ in the Pacific NW (and beyond…) as possible. Thanks for your help!!!

Very Important Word Concerning The Lakeland, Florida Healing Outpouring & The Pacific NW - From Bob Jones & Keith Abrahams

At the first Washington State Apostolic and Prophetic Gathering conference in Wenatchee, WA (April 18th-19th, 2008) there was a very important and timely word released in a conversation with Bob Jones. This word was for the Pacific Northwest and beyond, and it also is related to the current outpouring in Lakeland, FL. The “live” telephone conversation was played over the PA system for all to hear. It was an awesome, encouraging and empowering Word for all.

The Lord had spoken to Timothy Johnson about the need to call Bob Jones on Friday night, and then the burden returned to him again the next day. Timothy finally called Bob Jones during the afternoon lunch, but only got a voicemail. The experience that happened to Bob on that Saturday was exactly coincident with the time in which Timothy Johnson was in prayer, asking God to please stir Bob’s heart to call back. While Bob was asleep in his hotel room in North Carolina, he said he heard a voice calling from a long distance away saying, “Bob, we need help, because we are locked out of the Treasure room. Would you open the door for us, into this Treasure room?” The details of the event are well worth reading.

In this prophetic word, Bob Jones refers to a word that he released on New Years Eve (at MorningStar) in which he saw a young bald headed eagle, covered with tattoos coming down out of Canada into Washington State. Bob thought the word that came was a wind would begin to blow out of Canada, settle in Washington, then quickly spread to other states and go out to the whole nation. What Bob said in the conversation documented above was that the current outpouring in Lakeland, Florida was a manifestation of what had already come down out of Canada. Bob related to us that the eagle he saw with the tattoos he now understands was Todd Bentley, coming back out of Canada and operating in a powerful anointing for miracles and healings. The New Years Eve word (see here) mentioned that after blowing out of Canada, this wind would settle in Washington, and then quickly go out to surrounding states. Bob said that this wind was already in Washington, but there would be a need to contend for it.

Right after Bob linked the Lakeland Healing Outpouring to the prophetic word from New Years Eve, Keith Abrahams from Canada (who ordained Todd Bentley exactly 7 years ago along with Bobby Connor), came forth to bring a POWERFUL word that totally tied into what Bob Jones had just released minutes before.

Both the word given by Bob Jones and Keith Abrahams relate to previous prophecies regarding a coming wave of the Spirit of God that will come out of Canada, through the Pacific Northwest and greatly impact the US, Canada, and the world.

In particular, a word released by Bobby Connor in 1997 made reference (here) to a coming wave of the Spirit that would come out of Hamilton, Ontario through Vancouver, BC, into Washington, throughout the Northwest and into the world.

Todd Bentley has just released a recent word from Lakeland, Florida about The Third Wave coming – this word was given in Lakeland, Florida on Monday April 21st. Todd Bentley had called Bob Jones shortly after the conference in Wenatchee, documented above, and Bob gave Todd the “green light” to fully release the details of the prophetic word.

In the conference in Wenatchee, Bob Jones made reference to the fact that there would be a need to contend for what God is ready to release. To quote Bob, “Boy, whatever you do, don’t stop contending until you get it”.

The purpose of this posting is to give the Body of Christ valuable information, which has come to us, and release it for action. There is no doubt that there are other important pieces of information relating to this subject, and no representation of completeness is made.

Bob Jones: Wind From Canada and the Northwest

The following report and transcript is taken from a recorded telephone conversation which was recorded off of a cellular phone over the PA system.

At 3:45pm where Bob was in North Carolina, he was in a sound sleep. This would have been 12:45pm at the Wenatchee conference. While he was asleep, Bob heard a voice calling him as though from a long way away. The voice Bob heard said:

“Bob, we need help, because we are locked out of the treasure room. Would you open the door for us, into this treasure room?”

Timothy Johnson had called Bob’s wife Bonnie on her cell phone about fifteen minutes before that time, and left a message. Timothy was in prayer between 12:30pm and about 12:50pm, praying to get a call back. Bonnie returned the call at about 1:15pm Wenatchee time, where Timothy had returned to the conference hall. Bonnie said she would relay the message that Timothy wanted Bob to call, and when she went into the room some short time later, where Bob was sleeping, he called out “Yes” in his sleep. He woke himself up with that shout. As he awoke, he told her of the experience he had just had, telling her that the voice was from far away. She then told him that Timothy had called. Bonnie called Timothy back and put Bob on the phone. Timothy and Bob spoke briefly, and Bob told Timothy that he would call him back at 5:15pm (he was in North Carolina so this would be 2:15pm Pacific time). Timothy made arrangement to broadcast Bob’s call over the PA system when he called back.

In the telephone conversation Bob made mention that he had been looking something up, relating to a previous word that had been given. He was asking the question “What is the treasure room you all want opened up there? The treasure room that you will have opened up there?” and the answer Bob got was “Wind of Change angelic help.” This is in reference to experiences Bob has had regarding an angel named “The Wind of Change”. Bob said that this was a treasure far beyond any natural treasure. Bob said “All y’all are going to have to do is contend for this angel help.” Bob asked Timothy in the telephone conversation if he had found reference in the Shepherd’s Rod prophecy to a word Bob gave about a wind blowing in the Northwest first. Timothy said he had not found it, and Bob mentioned that it might have been in a word given on New Years Eve, but it was toward the end of the word.

Bob went on to say the word he was remembering said “a wind would blow out of Canada in the Northwest, and it would come and settle in Washington [state]. And it would begin a wave at Washington, and it would come on down and go through the whole United States”. Bob said “I understand now what that wind is. It’s a bald headed kid (my wife says he’s a bald headed eagle, and he truly is) and he’s got his body marked up with tattoos, and he has come out of Canada already. And what he is doing this stuff with, down in Florida, is an angel called The Wind of Change”. Bob said that there were other angels there also, like Emma (all kinds of healings) and Grace (miracles). These are the winds of Change that are travelling with him”.

Bob said that in the prophecy this wind would come out of Canada, and it would settle in the state of Washington. He said it has now come out of Canada, and it is ready to come into the state of Washington. Bob repeated that we will have to contend for this. He exhorted us to not quit contending until we get it, whatever we do. He said he did not know what at level we would need to contend.

Bob said: “Whatever this young export that we’ve exported from Canada is doing, you people up there are called to do the same thing. And then maybe we can export it up to Canada.”

Bob said that when he received the previous word, he did not realize that it referred to “Todd Bentley coming back out. And coming back out with angelic power like we have never seen before”.

“So the winds have blown out of Canada, and it’s up there with y’all now. I give you the key, and the key is Matthew 16:19, Hearing, and agreeing with God and proclaiming it. Hear, obey, and don’t THEN pray, but proclaim it broadly (what you get by revelation). You heard it through the Holy Spirit, coming out of heaven from your Poppa. Your Poppa is also the main key, and He’s unlocking the door for you. And the door is binding and loosing. And you now have the key to open and close that door. Close off the enemy, and open up the third heaven portals, which will never close! So, that’s what it’s really saying.”

Bob continued, saying to Timothy “You called something about bringing an apostolic unity? [Timothy said yes] I would word it a little different; I would call it an apostolic alliance, bringing people together in an alliance. And if you do, it won’t just end at just Washington, an alliance is even with nations. And that doesn’t, you know, need you’ll totally agree on everything, but you’ll agree in what God is doing. And you’ll find out that you always then come into agreement on the other things as the Holy Spirit brings clarity. So, this alliance has already started with a lot of major leaders in the United States and Canada already. They are making alliance recently. They are coming together, beginning to form an apostolic [alliance], which is just simply, the Lord has been raising up and dealing with major leaders.

Since July 3 1984. He has been preparing these men. These apostolic men and women are getting ready to blow a clear trumpet and it will show the prophets where they are, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers. It will bring a divine order according to our Daddy’s kingdom; apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors teachers. And the wind has chosen the apostolic order already. And the first ones to cross over and put that trumpet to their lips, they’re getting ready to blow. They will make a way for others, apostolic, to follow them. And they’ll give the real God guideline to the apostolic. Then next they’ll hand the trumpet to the prophets. And that’s why you’ve got so many of those up there.

And this is why they’ve been waiting so long; they’ve been waiting for God’s proper order to come in. And this is why miracles signs and wonders have never been consistent, because it had no government behind it. With the government of God behind it, God can give you the abiding glory, then a continual abiding unction for the healings, the signs and the wonders. And the delivering of great people from darkness into salvation. The kingdom of God is getting ready to come in order. They are the keys of God and the keys of God, what they are going to have moved to are what He has put in as His government. And we are in the final stages of His government coming together. And when we do, they will release an order and accountability to the prophets. The prophets up to now really have not had any accountability of what they say. When the apostle is there, he will hold them accountable. And the prophet will hold the apostle accountable, because they are the two workers. They work together. They are a loaded gun. Like the thumb and the finger sticking out in front, that’s really one of the most powerful loaded guns you’ll ever see on this earth. And this is what is coming together up there in Canada.

The wind has left Abbottsford, and it’s blowing in the state of Washington. And it will quickly go into other states around. Idaho will get blasted by it, also Oregon, and California. So, I have given you the keys. Open the treasure room. Open up the winds of heaven, and let them blow. Amen.”

Revival in the Northwest

In Dennis Cramer's E-Book, The Next 100 Years (which you can purchase as a download), Dennis Cramer gave this prophecy on page 19 about a healing breaking out in the Northwest--in small towns...towns such as Albany. He mentions by the way, many other towns, cities, states, and countries in his prophecies, including North and South Korea, etc.

Here's an excerpt from Dennis Cramer's E-Book from pages 18-19:

"Many out-of-the-way places--will be powerfully blessed by God's provision of supernatural healing for chronic, incurable, deadly disorders. These small to medium size towns and villages will not necessarily be easily accessible by the masses, but this will not stop the flood of desperately ill people looking for physical relief and wholeness. God will not disappoint them.

For example, several coastal cities in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and some cities, towns, and villages slightly inland will see many mighty miracles of this kind--a real visitation from Heaven!

Although some of these places will not even have airports, mile after mile of cars and buses will find their way there! A mighty healing revival will break out, gaining the attention of the unsaved population of this region. The churches will not be able to handle the great influx of new converts--the result of this outpouring of undeniable, supernatural power."

Todd Bentley, Bob Jones: The Third Wave is Here!

12 Places for Healing and Revival to Start are Mentioned--but THIS TIME IT'S GLOBAL"
Ministry Report from Lakeland, Florida:

Below is a ministry report written by Linda Dodson, a church member of Albany Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Albany, Oregon. Linda is attending the revival meetings in Lakeland, Florida and sent us the following report of what happened on Monday, April 21, 2008:

Greetings from sunny Florida! The glory of God is growing. There is a tangible presence all over town. Are you feeling "the wind" of the Spirit blowing where you are? The "winds of change" angel appeared to Todd Bentley in Florida, and simultaneously to Bob Jones. I have some encouraging news for all of you, which come from the prophets who released it on Monday night at Ignited Church in Lakeland, Florida. Bob Jones gave Todd Bentley the "green light" to release every bit of this prophetic word. I took notes quickly, so I may have missed a few details, but in general, you are surely to be blessed by this word.

Todd Bentley called Bob Jones an elder prophet and talked with him for about an hour about the "Florida outpouring" here in Lakeland. Here are notes about their phone conversation:

On New Year's Eve, for 2008, God told Bob Jones that "the third wave was coming." Todd asked Bob what the third wave was. He said that Toronto was wave #1, Pensacola was wave #2, and the third wave is the "Winds of Change"--this move of God. This move will be a global move, traveling with signs and wonders all over the world! The third wave is here!

As a sign that this wave would be released from the Northwest, Bob shared that God said in the natural world, there would be extreme "winds and storms" out of Canada and the Northwest this year. (We had these storms in the Northwest this past winter and winds even now!) These natural winds would be followed by the winds of change. There would then be a move of the Holy Ghost, where entire towns would be shut down by the power of the Spirit. Revival will come as a Northwest wind.

It was also mentioned to "set up your sail"--the "Winds of Change" are blowing! There are 12 places specifically mentioned where revival will hit first (listed in the order mentioned):

  • Des Moines, Iowa;
  • Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska;
  • Kansas City, Missouri;
  • Denver, Colorado;
  • Nashville, Tennessee;
  • Lakeland, Florida;
  • Ohio; Charlotte,
  • North Carolina;
  • Albany, Oregon;
  • Washington; and
  • Redding, California.

Of course, I did quite a bit of shouting when Todd named "Albany, Oregon." We have known for some time that Revival was on the way to Albany, and yet when I heard it declared by the prophets, it was a glorious moment. So for Albany and Oregonians, rejoice and get your hearts ready! Also mentioned were countries where it is moving first--England, Australia and New Zealand.

June 22 to July 22 will be a significant time in the spirit. (Todd didn't elaborate on this period.) This Revival will NOT be stopped.

There are several "clarion trumpets" (people God uses to deliver His word) and John Kilpatrick, former pastor of the Brownsville Assembly of God Church, where the Pensacola Revival took place, "probably has one of the clearest trumpets." Todd wanted to honor John Kilpatrick by naming him as Bob had spoken.

The third wave has begun! This wave promotes, prepares, purifies, pierces and inspires. We can expect to be changed by this move of God. The year 2008 will be the best of years for Christians and the worst of years for unbelievers, mainly due to their fear about the economy. There are doors now open in the spirit that will not shut!

The "Voice of Healing" move of the Spirit of years ago is here for a second time and it won't be stopped. This was a major healing move. This current move can be carried to other cities and countries. Wherever people move and who are carriers of this glory, it will move, like the ark was moved from place to place.

There will be one main thing required to see this outpouring continue: COMMITMENT--it will cost a lot to see it happen. (Todd has said twice now, that if this move requires him to lay down his own ministry, he will do it!) An invasion of glory for the hungry is on the way for you and your whole family!

I felt happy to be able to respond to the altar call as someone from Oregon to come and receive the "anointing and impartation" from Todd Bentley for Revival for Albany, Oregon. I was with others from the places mentioned above. I have been very hungry and contending for many years for Revival. I have gone wherever God has called me to experience His glory and to grow deeper in Him. So I am very encouraged by Monday night's word! The glory of God is coming to your town, too!

Season of Lost and Found!

December 1, 2007

Last night as I was getting on the Internet I noticed this story’s headline. I immediately felt a strong pulling in my spirit to read it. I felt the Lord saying He was going to say something to me through it.

Bracelet pulled from chicken is one clucky find

Boy's ID bracelet lost decades ago turns up in a gizzard from Minn. bird

updated 5:35 p.m. PT, Fri., Nov. 30, 2007

FAIRMONT, Minn. - More than two decades after Aaron Giles lost his identity bracelet, he's finding how it was discovered tough to swallow.

A meat cutter at Olson Locker in Fairmont came across the shiny object in a chicken gizzard and saw a name, address and phone number engraved on it.

"I've heard of livestock swallowing unusual objects, but this situation stands out," Mark Olson, who owns the meat locker, told the Sentinel of Fairmont.

Giles had lived in Fairmont as a child and played hide-and-seek and other games with his brothers in their grandfather's barn near Sherburn.

"I would spend most of my time out at his farm, and that's the only place I can think of that I would have lost it," Giles said about his bracelet on Thursday. The 31-year-old said he thinks the bracelet was lost when he was 4 or 5.

The barn was dismantled a few years ago, and Giles thinks his bracelet was imbedded in materials used to construct another barn in Elmore, about 45 miles away.

The bracelet was found in a chicken that came from an Elmore farm.

Olson was able to track down Giles' father, who had moved to Arizona. Giles, who now lives in Gloucester, Mass., said he received his old bracelet in September.

"It was in pretty immaculate shape. Everything was working on it, and all the engravings on it were still legible," Giles said. "It was quite the surprise."

Giles said he expects the bracelet to stay in his family for many years to come. "I have no plans on trying to lose it again," he said.

As I read this story I felt God saying there were things that have been laid aside, lost or stolen a long time ago that are getting ready to be returned. I have continued to feel God brooding over this story, pulling me to look at it again and again. And today I realized it was because this message was not just for me but for many of you as well!

I feel God saying that many have had their Identities stolen in some way or another. Who we are in Christ, who we were always meant to be has been laid aside or lost somewhere along the way. I sense that we are getting ready to come into our full inheritance as Daughters and Sons of the most High and parts of ourselves and who we are in Him is getting ready to be restored to us in unusual ways. He also pointed out that the ID bracelet was returned TO him. He did not go hunting for it. It feels like many have lost apart of who they are, sooooo long ago that they don’t even have hope of it being returned to them. There isn’t even a realization that something is missing. How can you go after something that you don’t know exists?

I also saw many of us coming back full circle. In life God often teaches us with specific emphasis and then HE goes on to other subjects and impartations. These seasons and what He teaches through them become apart of who we are and gives us Key’s and tools to respond like He wants throughout all life’s experiences. I see us coming back to lessens learned long ago. I see us coming to a season where He says, “Now is the time to pick up and combine all I have taught you through the years.”

God is taking us corporately into a season where we will need ALL we have learned over the years!

I see us like Knights that have trained for a long time. Sometimes emphasis has been on the sword, sometimes it has been on the javelin, other times we have learned to ride without hands. Now He is saying to many, “You have learned well! But there comes a time where you use ALL your skills together for a purpose.”

I see a drawing together taking place in the body of Christ for a purpose. I see the Lord repositioning people strategically. I see many being drawn to new people. It might feel like something is wrong, because some will find that people they have been very close to will slowly be drawn in different directions. Nothing is wrong; there is just a restructuring taking place, a repositioning. Others will find themselves being drawn even closer to old companions, fellow warriors. It is time for changes to take place. God is getting us ready for something very specific. We are no longer in training. I see field assignments being given out, not one on one, but to different GROUPS that will GO together. We WILL NOT be able to go it alone. These assignments are being given out to GROUPS! Not isolated solders. There is a time and a season for everything “… a time to laugh a time to cry…” A time to go it alone with only you and Jesus, and I time to be brought alongside of our brothers and sisters of the faith for a corporate God ordained purpose!

God will be placing us strategically in groups, because each of us has learned vital lessens that we will need to combine to fulfill our assignments!

This next Season/ year will be about restructuring, being brought full circle, and reestablishing into our lives that which has been lost, stolen, or laid aside for a season. Some of us are even being called to step out of our comfort zones! Some of what has been OK in the past will not be OK in this season. In order to fulfill our God given calls some of us will have to relinquish our hold on things God is saying is not for us right now. A call is going forth to look our lives and say, "Lord what would you have me do with my time and everything else you have given to me?"

Some of you have looked back and seen a huge price that you have paid for treasures that have been unused ever or unused for quite some time.

“Look at Me” the Lord says, “I have made you beautiful and you will use ALL that you have learned in the coming season of time. I have equipped you fully for a reason. It WILL NOT be wasted. Your years of training and the tears you have wept before my throne will not be lost! I have equipped you for a harvest, Now GO fully able!!!”

Fresh Rivers Of God’s Love--Dive In Today!

I believe we are coming into a season of time where the love of God is going to be expressed through believers in levels we have only dreamed of. God is love, and as followers of Christ, we are commanded to love one another (John 15:12).

Mankind desperately needs a touch from the loving arms of Jesus. The Lord is raising up a new breed of believers that will be so consumed with the love of God, that many of the social ills and turmoil of man’s heart will be transformed in a moment, as the pure river of God’s love pours through a generation of believers.

Everywhere I travel, whether America or abroad, I find that people are very critical towards the Church, organized religion, or Christians in general. I just returned from the Netherlands, and some great friends of mine shared about the fear they have even bringing up the name Jesus because of painful attacks that often come their way. It is very difficult to hear how pre-believers view the Christian faith. Can the love of God change the hearts of people in this hour? I am so thankful that there is a light that shines in the darkness. Christ in you, the hope of glory.

I Corinthians 13:13 -- “And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

Moving in the opposite spirit

During my time with YWAM (Youth with a Mission), I was taught over and over again to respond in the opposite spirit when I am tempted to react in the flesh. If you are a greedy person, then try purchasing someone’s groceries in front of you the next time you are in the checkout line, and watch the look on their face--it will amaze you. You will notice as you make these random acts of kindness, the Lord will turn you into an extravagant giver.

One of the most powerful weapons we have as believers is the unconditional love of Christ flowing through us. As we move in the opposite spirit of the world, loving people, even those that are the most difficult to love, we defuse the wounded hearts of the lost and many people move into relationship with Jesus.

One of the keys to gaining victory over the image the world and media has painted of us is a Fresh Baptism of God’s love. Mankind is desperately in need of love that is pure, asking for nothing in return. How much of the love of God do you receive and manifest on the earth today? I know there is always more when we ask Him. “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love” (John 15:9). Let us dive deeper in the river of God’s love than ever before, and let His love splash on everyone who comes in contact with us!

Love for the Body of Christ

Many of us are familiar with the term “friendly fire.” This is a military term that describes when a soldier is accidentally shot by a fellow soldier. This term is also used in the Church when one believer attacks another. If you have been around long enough, you have probably heard too many stories about one member of the Body talking about another in a nonproductive way. This is a very painful and damaging method the devil has used for years to wrap chains around the hearts of believers, holding them captive. Wounded people wound others, and often we keep shooting at our wounded instead of coming with an embrace of unconditional love.

I have seen in recent years a greater amount of love being expressed across denominational lines than ever before. We may worship and pray differently and have different ministry styles than the church across town, but our ultimate goal is the same: loving God with all our hearts and making Him known around the planet.

I am able to learn volumes of truths from my Baptist and Lutheran friends. They have completely different styles of worship and ministry, but I still learn from them and value their amazing ministries. I see many people who choose to focus more on our similarities then our slight differences. We all want to see the lost saved and healed. There is plenty of space on this planet for each of our unique “Jesus-centered” ministries.

Ask the Lord to give you an amazing love for those ministries and churches around you that worship and act a little differently than you. The funny thing is that you may think they are odd, but they more than likely feel the same about you. The Lord is not worried about our slight differences. He gave each of us a personality, and many of us are drawn to different streams. I personally like to take a swim in many of the streams out there; I enjoy a wide variety of ministry styles and cultures. The cool thing about the Lord’s grand design is this: all the streams eventually end up in a river, and then all the rivers will wind up in the ocean. We are all part of the same Body, so let us grow in love for each other.

Mark 12:30-31 -- “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Winning the lost through God’s Love

Have you ever mustered up your courage to step out and share Jesus to a friend or someone you met at the mall? You take a few deep breaths and begin to share your faith. Moments later you wish you had never opened your mouth, as you are blasted with an onslaught of attacks about the faith you hold so dear. We have all been there before if we have shared our faith more than a handful of times.

I understand that there will always be people who oppose the Gospel, no matter how many signs and wonders they see that are motivated by the love of God. Jesus had many enemies, and He shared that we would also if we walk as He did. John 15:18 -- “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you.” The key is how many of these precious people can we win over with the love of God flowing through us?

I fully support witnessing, power evangelism, words of knowledge, prophecy, and healing to lead people to Jesus (Mark 16:20). These are some of the best methods to win the lost; however the motivation behind it should be dripping with the Love of God.

The Apostle Paul shares about the necessity for believers to live in the river of God’s love. I Corinthians 13:1-3 says:

“If I speak in the tongues of mortals and angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body to be burned, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”

Paul understood the importance of walking in the love of God. Chapters 12 and 14 of I Corinthians speak in great detail of the spiritual gifts that are available to each believer. It is amazing to see how chapter 13 is nestled in between these two chapters on spiritual gifts. I believe the Lord wants us to see that His love is more important than any gift that we may desire or currently operate in. The world does not care how well you can prophesy, they want to know how much you love. Paul urges us in I Corinthians 14:1 to “Pursue love and strive for the spiritual gifts, and especially that you may prophecy.”

There is access in this hour to move deeper into the loving heart of our Father. As the gifts of the Spirit flow through the lives of believers in increased levels, it is critical that the love of God increase in our lives. The invitation has always been there, but I see a greater amount of people stepping into the love of God than every before. We are His body, and His love will shine through us like never before. Let us pursue love like we never have before. Make the pursuit of love a priority in your life. You will find the gifts of the spirit in you dramatically more effective when they are dripping with the love of God.

Lord, I ask that You would fill us with the fresh river of Your love. I pray that You would touch our hearts and baptize us with Your never-ending love. Lord, let Your love shine through us like never before and anoint us with creative ways to see souls around this planet saved by the power of Your love. Amen

I John 3:11 -- “This is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.”

BREAKTHROUGH! Things are about to change!

by Dr. N. Cindy Trimm
"And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, 'Let me go, for the day breaketh.' And he said, 'I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.' And he said unto him, 'What is thy name?' And he said, 'Jacob.' And he said, 'Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.'" Genesis 32:24-28

God has downloaded this message to me that I want to share with you:

Things are about to change! It is a dawning of a new day and a new day is dawning! During this season, there are some things you will have to wrestle with alone, and unless you wrestle with those things, you will not see the blessing that God has downloaded into the equation of destiny, purpose and time manifested. There is a place in God where the space is big enough for ONLY you. Once you are there, you must press into His Secret Place. In this place you will have the greatest opportunity to wrestle with life-altering issues in prayer. Like Jacob, you will experience a sense of aloneness. It is the safest place to spend what I call "me-time." Everyone needs "me-time"--a time for you to discover who you really are. A time where you are not defined by what you do or did, but who God originally designed you to be. Do not allow others to define who you are. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Do not mistake your aloneness with loneliness. There is a difference between loneliness and aloneness. Loneliness occurs when there is an involuntary and obvious absence of people who contribute to your sense of belonging. Aloneness, on the other hand, is a voluntary state wherein a person positions himself/herself in a place of solitude and separation. In this text, Jacob chose solitude, so that he could wrestle with his destiny and future.

Wrestle With Your Destiny--"I Will Come Out With More!"

In this season, you must find your place of solitude to wrestle with your destiny. This is a season where prayer and fasting will catapult you into a realm of prosperity, health and success. When you choose this place, you will soon discover that you have chosen to dwell in the secret place of the Most High God. Wrestling with personal issues in this place will always cause you to emerge with more than what you discard there. You will always prevail over the enemy in this place. If you feel that you will come out with less, it means the enemy has prevailed over your life. Stay in this place with God until you break through. This is not the season for the enemy to prevail; this is the season for the Body of Christ to prevail. Decree and declare this over your situation: "I am coming out with more!" and "Lord, I will not leave until You bless me."

THE BEGINNING OF A SEASON OF REST
RATHER THAN WARFARE

Jacob's name was associated with a reproach. He had to wrestle with this because his name caused him to be stigmatized. The name Jacob, meaning supplanter and schemer, affected him in a very deep way. It was not only his birth name, but it had now become an integral part of his nature. All of his life he had to fight for everything that he acquired. He felt he had to take life in his own hands. Have you ever been in the place where your whole life and existence was predicated upon one fight after another? You are fighting for attention, fighting to be heard, fighting for peace, fighting for your life. Even now, you may be wrestling with some deep financial, emotional, spiritual, or personal issues. God spoke to me and told me that this is the ending of a season of warfare and the beginning of a season of rest. The struggle is over! You are no longer wrestling with the devil but with your own destiny.

So you might as well give in to the will of God concerning your life. God has given you power over all the power of the enemy. Now allow God to activate the hidden power and potential for growth and development, beyond your yesterday experiences. He has the power and holds the secrets to unleashing your true and authentic nature and removing all stigmas and attachments to your name.

Have you ever been to a point where you feel you have to take life into your own hands? Sometimes life gets desperate; you don't see any other way to survive. All of the odds were stacked against you, and you had to make your own way. You have been there for others, but when it was your turn, no one was there for you. I have been there too, but I learned to cast all my cares upon God.

Cycles Of Seven--A Season Of Rest
And Celebration

Life happens in cycles of seven. You have completed one cycle, and you are starting a new cycle of seven. How you exit one season determines how you enter a new season. You have to be able to walk out of the old in order to access the new.

God is re-programming your ear to hear a different kind of frequency. He is synchronizing and syncopating you to His symphonic and choreographic movements. I decree that in this season you will be in sync with the divine timing of God.

Everything in 2008 will work according to the timing of the Lord. The first quarter is already past, and what you hold as priority in the first quarter is going to determine what is going to happen in the next seven years. As with music, in order to move into a new movement, you must resolve the previous movement. Do not try to enter this new season without resolving things from the past season.

What God is doing in the first quarter is providing the thrust needed to begin anew and to experience breakthrough. Many of you have battled last year; you were in a cycle of frustration, lack, desperation, and it seemed as if things were not going to change. Like the proverbial saying, "If it was not one thing, it was another." Once you got through one challenge, another one was right on its heels. Do not despair. Help and divine intervention are on the way!

There are many believers that are falling between the cracks. The devil wants to keep you in an old cycle, a cycle where he had control over your destiny. The enemies of your soul want to create a cycle where you don't break through to the next level.

ARE YOU DOING THE RIGHT THING --
AT THE WRONG TIME?

You could be doing the right thing at the wrong time. Do not allow the spirits of frustration, distraction, anxiety, doubt or fear cause you to miss God in this season. You have to stay focused in this season. This is the year of breakthrough.

During this season, you are being transitioned into a new "me."

I hear the Lord say, "What is happening is you are ending a season of warfare, and you are entering a season of rest and celebration. A season where I will display and manifest My governmental anointing through you. What is needed now is thrust, momentum, consistency and commitment. Don't let up; don't give in. Hold fast to the profession of your faith. I am thrusting you into position where you will have to make some very hard decisions in order to seamlessly and smoothly move into something that is new. Therefore, this year will be a year of release, a year of circumcision and a year of new beginnings. You must release some things and some people. I will release some things to you, and some things will be released to you by people. I will release new mantles, gifts, anointing and opportunities."

No more stagnation; the water is rising. Water represents movement of the Holy Spirit; water represents the flow of the anointing. You must let go of the old in order to access the new. You will experience breakthrough shortly. A breakthrough is a sudden burst of anointing and revelation-knowledge that propels an individual or ministry past the point of an impenetrable threshold, shattering strongholds and then establishing new paradigms and relationships. I decree that this is your year for a breakthrough.

This Is The Year Of Open Heavens!

This is the year of the supernatural, exponential progression. God will do for you in the next 12 months what you could never do for yourself in 12 years. This is the year of the open heavens--the clouds are clearing. The sun will shine. He will cause His voice to be trumpeted and cause you to triumph over your enemies. This year will be characterized by open portals. Look for divine opportunities and supernatural ideas. He will make you first and not last. You will have dominion! He will cause you to progress. He will supernaturally cause you to accomplish great things. This is not just the era of the pulpit; this is the era of the pew. You are going to break through in your prayer life. God will release a new governmental anointing on your prayer life. You will no longer pray earthbound prayers; you will be able to make declarations from Heaven's supreme court. He will give you supernatural increase, and there shall be no more lack! You will decree a thing, and it shall be established. You don't have to settle for a good life; you can have the perfect life.

My prayer for you:

Father, You are perfect in all of your ways. You have measured the borders; You have weighed the mountains and scales in a balance. I thank You that things are about to shift--that we have entered into a new season.

I decree and declare 2008 is a year of new beginnings. I decree and declare that the courage, the capacity, the drive, the commitment and desire to walk away from old things and into the new is released into your Spirit now. As we proceed out of the first quarter, I decree we will not leave this quarter without seeing the manifestation of those things that were ordained before the foundation of this world.

I pray that we will be synchronized and syncopated to the timing of the Lord and that nothing will be withheld from us. I pray that we will now function without frustration and without hindrance. I decree and declare the heavens, and every portal, is swinging wide open. I decree access. I decree that everything in our lives is changing for the best. The struggle is over in Jesus' name! I command you to break through!

The Perfect Storm--Prepare For A Downpour Of My Spirit!

Recently in a ministry trip to Ketchikan, Alaska, I heard the Lord begin to speak about a "perfect storm" or a perfect set of circumstances that would appear to be disastrous or tragic, but in reality is a chain reaction creating monumental breakthrough and powerful lateral momentum in His Kingdom. It's like a tsunami that comes in with such force, and then in its wake, massive amounts of land are pulled out with it.

These "perfect storms" are a series of divine circumstances often seen in our headlines and front pages almost daily as a blueprint for incredible breakthrough and Kingdom advancement. What may at first appear to be unexplainable events, will prove to be tipping points and historic progressive breakthroughs that alter the course of regions, states and nations.

The Noah Factor and Massive Global Breakthrough

Look at Noah's circumstances--what apparently began as a complete disaster became a "new world" or a complete change in circumstances and environment. Recently I was in the Portland, Oregon area ministering at an Assembly of God church, as this historic or "perfect storm" hit interrupting transportation in mass and is still currently having an incredible impact on the environment. After the weekend meeting, I was scheduled to leave on Monday, December 3rd, but felt led to leave as the storm approached on December 2nd after ministering at the PM meeting.

I believe the entire trip that night was to receive God's perspective at a deeper level as sheets of rain and blasting gusts of wind descended. These disturbing current events overseas and in the U.S. are catalytic in nature that will often "violently" (as stated in Mathew 11:12) and radically change the landscape, removing obstacles of resistance once and for all. What would have taken years and even a lifetime to change, will happen in seconds, minutes and hours (under these adverse events).

Portland: Prepare for a Downpour of My Spirit!

As I came in view of Portland's skyline on Interstate-5, I literally saw clouds of God's presence over particular buildings downtown. This was not a "fog" or haze; I literally saw the physical manifestation of God's presence over the city as recent record-breaking rain and wind converged on the city. As I drove the length of Portland at 11pm on December 2nd, the Lord stated, "Portland: PREPARE for a downpour of My Spirit! Even as the wind and rain are hitting you, even so shall My Spirit hit you--all of you."

There was such a prominence or emphasis on this word for exactly where the rain and wind were impacting the city--her streets, buildings and waterways. It was a candid picture of a perfect storm of God's Holy Spirit coming to radically change the moral, spiritual and social landscape like a flood.

Seattle, Portland and Boise: A Triune Counsel of God's Heart

During our five-month series of meetings in Stockton, California this year, I heard the Lord state this prophetically in one of our Friday night revival services, "SEATTLE, PORTLAND AND BOISE: A TRIUNE COUNSEL OF GOD'S HEART." I see this playing itself out now as historic headlining moments unfold targeting these three-key cities in the Pacific Northwest. A "foursquare" balance of "God's Heart and Will" shall emerge from the Church in these three cities that will cause a divine equilibrium in the Body of Christ nationally and even globally. From Sunday services, spontaneous outbreaks of revival to divinely orchestrated conferences and rallies, the heart of God for world harvest and strategic occupation shall form from these three places, having a profound impact on the future of the Church and the world it is reaching.

Watch and see as other situations occur in these cities and states that some will label "bizarre, strange and uncanny," but they will prove, as circumstances progress, to be a "perfect storm" that creates massive momentum and historic change setting the plumb line of God's will for decades to come. Seattle, Portland and Boise will prove to be a "threefold cord that is not easily broken" as 2008 unfolds. 2008 will be one of the most defining and definitive years for these three cities and states, repositioning the Church as even current doctrine is transformed like the land is around them during these historic events. His plumb line will be laid out clearly for the world to see in the Pacific Northwest.

The Rejected Will Be Accepted and Reinstated in 2008

2008 will go down in history as the YEAR OF THE PRODIGAL as those that have suffered severe rejection are now accepted and reinstated by the Hand of the Lord. It will not be an act of man even as it was not the act of man that reinstated the prodigal son to his position, or Moses, David and Jonah to theirs. The grace of God will prove itself sufficient in 2008 as significant headlining reconciliation and restorations takes place. Newspapers, talk shows and other major media events will become harbingers of God's intentions like no other time in 2008 as the "uncomely parts" are bestowed more honor.

Those that have been disgraced, misunderstood and forgotten will be suddenly thrust back to the forefront as Joseph was from his pit and prison. The stone covering many people's "lion's den" shall be rolled away, revealing a greater destiny inside. Those that have "fellowshipped in His suffering" shall undoubtedly now walk in resurrection power.

2008: The Year of the Indigenous

Major political and social events shall occur that publicly and historically place the Native American people into a place of restoration. An "every eye shall see" shall unfold in 2008, taking their cause from the ranks of "last," and making it "first." The anointing of peacemaker shall take center stage on many international platforms as the indigenous people take the lead in major national events. Certain seats of national authority have been reserved for them for such a time as this. Faces that have been hidden from public view will now "arise and shine" and the caricature of previous history will be eclipsed by a new breed of apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers revealing the original foundation that the Lord has established.

City seats and governmental positions will now be vacant as these noble people step into their rightful position of leadership. Church governments will inevitably and unavoidably have to reach out to the Native American people if they are ever going to see the fullness of the Lord's will in their cities and churches; this will become perfectly clear as the year unfolds. Media and movies will continue to lead the charge as the Lord shines His divine spotlight on a chosen generation of Native Americans.

North Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona and Wyoming will take on an apostolic role of reconciliation and restoration as a "voice crying in the wilderness" begins to be heard in America. The true genuine Joseph anointing will be seen in its full stature and true character as these people take up the call and the election of the Lord in 2008 and beyond.

An Assembly of God's Presence is Amassing

Remember the reference to the Assembly of God church above? I have ministered in two Assembly of God churches in the last two months, particularly in the Portland area. Not only is the Lord's presence targeting certain denominations and churches such as the A.G., but He is targeting major metropolitan cities in a terrific, historic way. Even as we have seen Interstate-5 interrupted between Portland and Seattle by torrential rain and flooding, it is only a prelude to incredible divine interruptions as the Lord begins to fill His temple as He did in Acts chapter 2.

Some are calling the recent storm "the 40-year" storm because of its intensity and the first of its kind in 40 years. Many mainline denominations that have remained steadfast in former doctrine and dogma, indifferent to the current move of God, will emerge from the tomb like Lazarus; the grave clothes of previous experiences no longer hindering them. Even more contemporary church movements that have detoured from their divine course will find new vision and grace to return to their "First Love" and do the "first works." Like the little boats in Luke chapter 5, the influx and increase will be so great, it will demand a greater unified front than ever before in the Body of Christ to ultimately accomplish His work:

"So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink." Luke 5:7

Imagine success in the Lord's Kingdom that is so great that unless you reach out and accept assistance from others, your ministry will sink?! That is the kind of divine challenges the future holds as the "perfect storms" of God's will converge upon the world.
