Since settling here in March 2001, the Spirit continues to speak to me concerning His move about this area. The voice of the Spirit commands us to "prophesy to the land, the hills, the mountains and the trees." He commands that we "prophesy against the winds of destruction and for the breath of God as He breathes upon the waters." The Spirit is calling forth the spirits of men with an emphasis upon:
1. Wounded Christian Soldiers
2. Backsliders
3. Native Americans
4. American Immigrants
5. Lost and Wounded Souls blinded by mind-altering drugs/alcohol, debauchery, sorcery, child/sexual abuse, and mental illness
While earthquake and tsunami warnings surround us, God would have us to realize that His plan for the North West 'is for good and not for evil.' We are called to seek His wisdom and to pray for His Will to prevail bringing about the cleansing and realignment He desires. We have nothing to fear but the lack of oil in our lamps resulting from complacency. We are exhorted through the stirring up of our gifts by the Holy Spirit to prepare for revival.
This local revival will be marked by the shaking of all things that can be shaken and a great flood of the Holy Spirit mapped in the natural by floods and waves. Even now, men and women are being prepared to "rebuild" after the great shaking. God has called forth a number of "unliklies" to effect a enormous impact upon the Body of Christ. Most of these people are "silently preparing" unaware that they are not alone. The two things these people have in common are:
1. A Godly desire to offer up their time and skills to the edifying of the Body of Christ;
2. A willingness to let God use them in whatever capacity He sees fit regardless to convenience and in the face of great adversity; and
3. A current life-style marked by proverty and/or the lack of modern conveniences afforded to most Americans
The revival we are pressing through to effect will be accomplished through supernatural evangelism.

A Vision of the Northwest
An angel of the Lord appeared to me in a vision approximately two weeks ago. We were standing on a large mountain and he held a bright, gleaming fiery sword unlike any sword I had ever seen before. The blade was constructed of bright and shiny silver of the purest form with fiery flames surrounding it. Written on the blade of the sword were words and phrases like signs and wonders to follow, “new season,” “fresh anointing,” “power,” “healing,” “shift in the spirit,” “salvation” and “revival in the land.” When he wielded the sword the fire intensified and lightening emerged as it passed and cut through the air.
I shuddered from deep within, knowing the magnitude of force this sword yielded.
REAL CRIES OF INTERCESSORS ALLEGORICALLY “FROM THE DEPTHS BELOW”
As I watched, the angel positioned the sword above his head and thrust it into the ground where we stood. A slight crack appeared. Through the crack from the depths below I could hear the cries and petitions, the wails of intercessions and mighty shouts from many mighty warring Saints of God. I could see a red vapor emerging from this ever so small crack. It puzzled me.
THE
I looked to the
Within moments the ground below me began to rumble and all around me the ground began to shake, however I remained unaffected and my feet remained unmoved. This is when I realized I was now resting in the Fear of the Lord.
A SHIFT HAD OCCURRED IN THE SPIRIT FOR THE CHURCH --AND FOR THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY AGAIN
The
A sense of gratitude, love and warmth filled my inner being as I knew that the Great Ancient of Days was about to pour out more of His heart, His strategies, His secrets and His Amazing Power.
“THE CRACK BEGAN TO GROW AT AN ALARMING RATE”
Suddenly the crack began to grow at an alarming rate. It increased in width and no longer could I see where it began or where it ended. As I continued to watch this vision unfold, first light and then fire began to spill out from the depths below. This was the place of intercession. This was the place where the intercessors travailed, where they burrowed tunnels deep below the ground, where men’s and women’s hearts and foundations were changed.
MANY SEASONS HAD COME AND GONE
I watched as the
Seasons of pain, sorrow and death, seasons of joy and expectation, seasons of repentance and deliverance, seasons of teaching, training and instruction, and seasons of fire and revelation. Some of the intercessors had grown tired and entered into a season of rest, some had been wounded and were in recovery, some had laid their crowns of intercession down and were about to be restored, others had just entered into a season of intercession and still others dug with the stamina and persistence of marathon runners.
I could see that the intercessors had successfully dug tunnels according to the roadmap that the Holy Spirit had imparted to them. These tunnels burrowed deep below the foundations of men and women and lead straight to the throne room of God. These tunnels were prepared with delicate care and precisely engineered to carry forth The Fire of Revival, Waters of Cleansing and Healing, and much Oil for the Anointing throughout the land. At that moment I could hear coming straight from the Throne of God, “Well done my good and faithful servants. You have prepared the way and you have made Me proud.”

PORTLAND, AN “EPICENTER”
He began to pour out revelation, new fresh oil and prophecy into a cup he had handed me at some point during our journey. He said that revival was coming to these areas with Portland being the most impacted, this is where the epicenter of revival would be. He told me that each sword would be pushed into the ground at different times causing a stirring and shaking in the spirit. He then led me to the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain and said “now pour out which is in your cup and watch.”
As I poured out the cup, a veil was removed and I observed many small flaming fires of revival throughout the area, the area of the Pacific Northwest.
“AGAIN I HEARD THE WORDS, ‘IT IS TIME!’“
He stretched His hand outward and pointed to the Pacific Northwest and again I heard the words, “It is time.” The small flaming fires of revival began to blaze in unity and one accord. The church united and I could see the Favor of the Lord released over the Pacific Northwest.
Signs and wonders increased, people rededicated their lives to
Then a cloud of glory dropped from Heaven and covered the area. Suddenly, a vast harvest of the Lost appeared before me. Their hearts were ready and they eagerly came forward to receive the Kingdom of God. I then saw that the Cross of Christ had been branded on the land of the Pacific Northwest. The land was marked for salvation and revival.
As the vision faded, I heard again the three simple words, “It is Time.”

THE DEAF & DUMB PRINCIPALITY & REDIGGING OLD WELLS
A revelation for intercessors over North America
Last month I attended the Eye of the Eagle Prophetic conference in Grants Pass Oregon, USA and the Lord gave me a revelation about the deaf and dumb spirit being over the Pacific Northwest. I wrote the revelation as this post, but before releasing it, I prayed over it for a month because of exposing such a large principality. The answer to my prayers came last night at a
Whenever I can, I try to incorporate how He speaks to me so that I can help others grow in their own hearing. Many of my readers are not from North America. I hope that you use this as a teaching tool as to how God speaks via building revelation as well as how to dig a well over your own region. This revelation was given to me in many pieces and rather than try to condense it any further, I have chosen to give you the pieces just for these reasons.
~ Piece One ~ (A Quickened Phrase) In regards to digging a well over your own region, at the conference
~ Piece Two ~ (A Quickened Question) The next piece came a few days later also regarding digging a well when someone asked me, "How does one dig a well?" I knew this question was no accident! I suddenly realized that we do not know how to dig spiritual wells, and yet we are being commissioned to dig them.
~ Piece Three ~ (A Dream) At that point the Holy Spirit brought to memory a dream He gave me on 8/20/00. In that dream I had revisited the pool of my childhood home, which is also in the same town as the conference. (It is interesting to note that in real life, when this pool was being dug, it filled up by an underground artesian spring, three times.) In the dream, the pool was gone and had been covered over with landscaping. We wanted the pool back so we took away the dirt. After the dirt was removed, I was very blessed to realize the Lord had protected the pool, for there was a huge covering over the pool made from one piece of plywood cut to its exact shape. (It is also an interesting parable that in real life, our pool shape was the shape of a kidney, and kidneys filter toxins, which keep our bodies from being poisoned. This cap represented a sealing to filter the dirt and keep the water pure.) This piece of plywood was perfectly cut in one huge piece, which was obviously supernatural since they do not make plywood that size in real life. In the dream I realized the pool was like an old well that had been capped over. The Lord obviously knew the new owners in the dream wanted to bury the pool in dirt, so He had sealed it.
In the next scene I looked up and was startled to see that the sky had been covered over with some kind of dome so there was no more open heaven to swim under. At that point, I saw two people talking to each other who in real life are both carnally minded and they speak with filthy mouths. They were standing there as though claiming squatter's rights. I had the feeling they were somehow responsible for covering the pool with dirt. They of course speak of the demonic forces that come to take squatter's rights in our spiritual wells because of compromising carnal choices.
~ Piece Four ~ (The Old Testament parable) The following is a relevant study of the importance of wells in Bible times and how it relates to our building our own spiritual wells. In the Old Testament, wells were dug as cisterns, limestone pits, holes, and filled with rain water, springs or even gushing fountains of water. This was no small feat with crude tools.
The use of wells were often a source of contention and power struggles. Israel's enemies were noted for filling up their wells with dirt. Notice the following account of
As I was pondering this section of scripture I realized that our enemies in the spirit world also fill up spiritual wells dug by our ancestors that are rightfully ours. These wells represent not only the living waters of their past gifts of ministry, but also their unfulfilled promises. I could see the connection between
~ Piece Five ~ (Prophet's Words)
~ Piece Six ~ (Symptoms and Emerging Patterns) As I started praying over what had capped the area, the revelation grew larger. I was anticipating hearing from the Lord at night, while attending the conference there, since I am accustomed to hearing from Him at night. I was surprised to hear so little. Someone had also mentioned to me that the town's intercessors were having trouble with mental confusion and forgetfulness and she also mentioned that the town had just built a facility for Alzheimer's patients. Through prior revelation given to us in the 80's we knew that the deaf and dumb spirit causes these symptoms, especially lack of hearing and understanding the Lord. So we prayed against it. I felt that this was somehow related to my not hearing the Lord as freely. A few days later another intercessor from a different town called me saying that she was having problems with confusion and memory. She also mentioned that a gal with Attention Deficit Disorder asked her several times what they were in line for while standing in a prayer line.
~ Piece Seven ~ (Bob Jones Experience) By this time, I knew that the spirit over Oregon was the deaf and dumb spirit and I searched my computer to see what references I had made about it. I was very surprised to discover that
~ Piece Eight ~ (Prophetic Dream/Vision) I also noted in my computer notes that I had a dream type vision on 10/21/98 where I saw a huge tree fall that was taller than the largest redwoods. Looming above my head at the base of the tree were 2 giant carved figures made of the same wood. They were huge, although not as tall as the tree. I looked up at the boot of one foot and it was several feet tall. He was dressed like a logger. Suddenly the boot moved. This alarmed my spirit and I took off flying. As I got eye level with him, we bumped into each other and he turned around and said something stupid and unintelligible to me, then moved on. I thought to myself that he was quite dumb. The experience goes on from there, but in re-reading this, it was quickened to me that this was possibly a deaf and dumb spirit over the Pacific Northwest" the Northwest because it was known for its logging and its wealth in old growth timber. And this connected with the plywood cap or lid that was placed over the pool in my other dream. In that dream the Lord had used the spoils of the enemy to allow the plywood (fallen tree above ) to seal the pool, before they dumped dirt on top of it.
~ Piece Nine ~ (Confirmation) 3 weeks after I had written this post and was still praying over releasing it, I was handed a tape called, "Be a Well Digger" by Pastor Dale Howell. He is the pastor of Cornerstone Church that hosted the above Eye of the Eagle Conference. Evidently he preached that sermon just 10 days before the conference. The Lord had given him a separate, but joining revelation of the fact that the
~ Piece Ten ~ (Rhema Word and Quickened Story) One last story that fits this revelation: As I was praying over the cap that had been placed over the area, I heard the Lord say, "The day they completed the boring through, the waters flowed." This is connected to a story in the archaeological supplement in the back of my Bible. In 2 Kings 20:20, it mentions the channel that Hezekiah built: "The rest of the events in Hezekiah's reign, including the extent of his power and how he built a pool and dug a tunnel to bring water into the city, are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Judah." In 1880 a school boy waded into the Pool of Siloam, into this water tunnel and saw some ancient writing in the rock above the water. Later he told his teacher and the teacher copied the inscription. This is the inscription taken from the walls of King Hezekiah's tunnel, written in early Hebrew script about 700 BC: "Now this is the story of the boring through; while the excavators were still lifting up their picks, each toward his fellow, and while there were yet three cubits to excavate, there was heard the voice of one calling to another, for there was a crevice in the rock, on the right hand. And on the day they completed the boring through, the stone-cutters struck pick against pick, one against the other; and the waters flowed from the spring to the pool, a distance of 1000 cubits. And a hundred cubits was the height of the rock above the heads of the stone-cutters."
I thought how marvelous and seemingly miraculous that stone cutters with crude instruments would be working on two opposite ends of a 1000 cubit tunnel, and end up coming together pick to pick and releasing the waters to flow. They must have thought it marvelous enough to record and the Lord thought it important enough to preserve as a record for us in the end times. I believe this is a parable preserved for us today.
Also as intercessors begin to cry out for open heavens, they are like the excavators working on opposite sides. One day they will connect pick to pick and the double portion waters will freely flow. Hallelujah!
How to dig a spiritual well: 1) Pursue hearing, seeing and understanding the Lord. 2) Open wells of corporate and radical worship. Welcome the Holy Spirit. 3) Pray for the Lord to reveal obstructions and hindrances. 4) Pray with humble and contrite hearts. 5) Repent of compromise and carnality. 6) Repent of personal sins, and ancestral sins over the area, especially coming through leadership in all levels. 7) As the Lord reveals them, bind the spiritual sources of obstructions. 8) Loose the angels to break through and keep the portholes open.
~ Piece Eleven ~ (Confirmation) As mentioned before, I had written the above post prior to
~ Piece Twelve ~ (Confirmation & Prayer Request) I picked up
We intercessors in Oregon are small in number. Most of us come from very small churches. We have interceded for many years, just like the excavators with crude pick axes in our hands, taking one plunge after another. We have born the heat of the day, and we are earnestly asking for your prayers. As our hindrances crack, we are now beginning to hear outside voices of intercession and the prophets. And we cry out to you. "Here, strike here. Please strike here, for we have deep wells of powerfully anointed water, just waiting to flow not only to a region, but to a very thirsty world." For in your serving us, we serve you and together we will see the principality of the deaf and dumb spirit broken and the heavens over our nation will turn from solid brass to portholes of golden glory.
If you would like to order
If you would like to order
May God give us the courage and the tenacity to re-dig the wells of promises, and receive the open heaven that we have prayed over for so long!

A CRY FOR CANADA
A prophetic word and intercession for Canada
from Rachel Hickson
Oh Canada, Oh Canada, Oh Canada. I see your flag with its two bands of red - it is one of the most striking flags in the world. I see the two strikes of red - coast to coast. God is going to paint the blood of His precious Son Jesus from the North to the South, from the West to the East. And that white no-man's land is a cry for holiness. I have just come from Winnipeg and sense in my spirit that something different is going to happen in Winnipeg than here on the West Coast or on the East Coast. There are different fires that the Lord is kindling. A maple leaf in the fall months is ablaze with fire red colour. Your nation is being raised as one who will bring healing to the nations.
RESTORATION OF DIPLOMATIC STATUS
God is going to take off of this land passivity and the false peace you've preached. He will again make you a true reconciler and a true leaf for healing of the nations. He will restore your diplomatic status and it will be a true diplomacy that stands for integrity and righteousness and that brings together that which has been torn apart. I feel that what's been going on with the reconciliation with the Jewish People, God is going to use you as a reconciler just as Norway has been recognized in Europe, I believe you will be recognized as reconcilers in the world. And Norway and you are going to come together and do something in the Middle East. I just feel these things and if I were going to prophesy anything about Canada, it would be this; this is what I am feeling in my spirit at this time.
A SEASON OF TEARS
I feel there is a cry of - Oh Canada, Oh Canada. There is a groaning in the spirit. As we watched the promotion for the Transformation II video, I saw that it is a season of tears, yes, a season of tears. I believe there is a weeping in the heart of your Father for this land and that's why there's been so much weeping on the earth. He wants you to begin to cry out. It is a season to make you hungry. He wants to make you hungry, Canada. I believe it's almost like God has lots of secrets for Canada at the moment and He's playing hard to get, playing hide and seek right now.
THE SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE
It is a privilege to come to the West Coast. God spoke to me to go to a little place called Tabor, Alberta in 1999, and to plan a prayer conference to be called "The Spirit of Sacrifice." Tabor - Spirit of Sacrifice - Prayer conference. It was planned for May 7-9, 1999 and on April 29, 1999, a young man by the name of Jason Lang was shot to death in his school. One week later, we held this prayer conference on the Spirit of Sacrifice and God did something. There are only 1,007 people in Tabor and 500 of them came to the prayer conference. People just came and there was a deep cry.
PUT CANADA BACK IN YOUR HEART
Something's happening in your land, Canada. But you must have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying and I believe the first place to start is with lots of tears. God wants to get you connected with your land again. He wants you to become unashamedly Canadian! Put Canada back in your heart. It doesn't matter whether your passport says you're Canadian or not, if you are living here you have a responsibility to let this land become part of you. You've got to carry the land in your heart. There's something happening. There's something happening in this area of the Northwest, which I can't explain to you, but I feel it. It's like the southern part of BC and AB, round about Washington State, the top part of Oregon and a little bit into Idaho. I don't think God minds too much about whether it's American or Canadian. There is something in that bit of jigsaw there that's kindling and I believe that God is wanting us to dig open the wells for the supernatural.
THERE IS HEALING IN THIS PLACE
There is healing in this place. But what the devil wants to do is to bring a false healing of the physics', the occultists, the false supernatural and prophetic, all that stuff. And I know in my spirit that there is a massive increase of this in this area. But God is bigger; He is bigger, and nothing is impossible with Him.

Fire In The Northwest!
With the fires that have been raging over the Northwest this past month, the Lord reminded me of the word He had given me two years ago concerning His fire hitting Washington State and the Northwest region.
1 Corinthians 15:46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. (NKJ)
Get ready for an awakening!
THE VISION
I saw a map of America and a bright blazing sun rising from the East. At the same time I saw the Mighty Right Arm of God stretched out. As the sun went across America, so His arm also went across America. As the light hit the land, it hit MASH Units, filled with wounded soldiers of God's Army. They were lying on cots. bandaged up. Some were sitting up, not as wounded as others...lots of doctors and nurses tending to them. Simultaneously as the sun and Right Arm of God moved over these units, the soldiers had the opportunity to rise up and be healed or remain behind.
As the sun and Right Arm of God went across the map of America, the light became brighter and brighter as it drew closer to the West Coast. I saw Washington State, it was black. Because it was so dark, the sun's light was brighter than it had ever been and it hit Washington State like a ball of fire! It ricocheted off the state and it was brighter than any light that had shone forth before. Washington State was transparent and clear. The sun moved back over the map of America with a greater light and fire!
THE INTERPRETATION
There have been many words concerning the revival God has planned for the Northwest Region. I believe this is another confirmation of what is soon coming to Washington State. But also of what is already happening across America.
The sun rising from the East is the light of
The Right Arm of God is very significant and not to be overlooked. The Right Arm of God represents many things: Lovingkindness toward His people...(Psalm 17:7) Glorious power and bringing forth of judgment against His enemies...(Exodus 15:6) It chastises His children... And acts valiantly on their behalf...(Psalm 118:15 & 16) It brings judgments & deliverance ...(2 Kings 17:36 & Exodus 6:6) It brings salvation... (Isaiah 52:10 & 53:1) and releases authority over men, beasts, & the earth. (
Along with the Arm is coming the Light. The light exposes darkness and makes the way for truth to come in. The Right Arm of God brings lovingkindness and at the same time judgment. All of us will be given the opportunity to yield under the mighty Hand of God, and when we do, we will Arise and Shine as in Isaiah 60:1-3. Darkness is covering the Earth and great darkness the people, BUT the Lord will ARISE over you and His Glory will be seen upon you!

God's Judgement Coming to the Earth
The Father yesterday spoke to me about speaking forth this word about his judgment coming quickly upon the earth. I have had several words from the Holy Spirit on what is about to transpire on the earth in the coming days since the beginning of this year. This is the first time the Father has told me send it forth to the people, with a specific warning to those in the Mt. Rainier area of
The Father is about to unleash a series of events upon the earth that will set men's heart failing. These volcanoes and earthquakes will be set in motion by the Father for the purpose of bringing men's heart to repentance in this hour, and bringing many to
A year and a half ago, the Father showed me a string of volcanoes that would erupt at the same time on the earth. Then about 6 months ago or more, He spoke to me about Mt. Rainier, specifically. He confirmed it through another prophet friend of mine,
He gave me a great burden to warn those in the Mt. Rainier area, to pray and fast, and hear what preparations the Father wants you to make in what is coming, whether it means for evacuation, I don't know.. Just seek him, and he will tell you what you need to do in the days to come before this eruption.
The Father mentioned specifically Mt. Rainier, that would erupt, and that would set the series of natural disasters in motion, including earthquakes and more volcanoes, set off in this chain of events that would occur at the same time, like a chain set off. This sign will also be confirmed by prophetic events that will take place in Israel at the same time, around the feast times.
First the shaking and rocking of the very foundations of the earth, first spiritually, then in the natural realm with the earth. Also, he is moving the very plates under the earth, to cause many things to come to pass to bring those who have been in rebellion to him. It is for them, that He is doing this, to bring many into obedience to Him. Also, new ones, into the kingdom. Volcanoes will erupt, earthquakes will shake the very foundations of the center of the earth, as the Father shakes and moves in the earth, in this hour.
When I saw Mt. Rainier erupting, the Father showed me a series of earthquakes that would rock the very foundations of the earth at about the same time, or following. I saw many earthquakes occurring at the same time, in Alaska, Oregon, and California, being affected, as well as
Those in Mt. Rainier area have not been warned by their local people, and they need to make preparations for this. So let this word be a warning to you from the throne room of God. Not to fear, but a warning to seek the spirit on what to do.
Today, the Father gave me a great urgency to warn the people, then my computer crashed for many days... so it is going forth now.. The Father told me to send forth this warning for those in that area, that it is coming quickly and swiftly. There are other prophets who I love and trust totally for hearing from the throne room of God, who have spoken the same thing to me in the past months. The Father is sending forth a warning from his prophets in this hour.
When I saw the plates below the earth move in the other day, and the father said, I am moving the very plates under the earth to bring these events to pass. I am doing this, for many will repent and come back to me in this hour.
I don't usually send out warnings like this, but we are to warn the people of what is going to transpire over the next few months, for we are those on the wall.
So I am sending this forth as a warning to all those in the
These were the words He spoke to me today to share with each of you.
"Fear not, my children, for you are in my hands, protected from all harm.. Listen to what the spirit is speaking to you in this hour. Be alert, and be vigilant to what I am speaking in this hour.
Rejoice, my little ones, for you are hidden in the palms of my hands, protected from all harm, and kept safe as you walk in by my spirit, says, the Lord."
Capernaum a Hub of Healing, Signs and Wonders
Todd Bentley
I was on the airplane flying to Coo's Bay Oregon for a recent series of meetings. The Holy Spirit gave me this word for the region and state of Oregon. I believe that the principals and prophetic strategies of this word on Changing your spiritual climate has prophetic keys to Opening the Heavens for miracles and Healing in all Regions.Please take time to prayerfully consider what the Holy Spirit may want to say to you in your city or nation about Capernaum!!
The Holy Spirit said I am changing the spiritual Climate over the state of Oregon. I am rending the heavens for an outpouring of Healing's and miracles. I will cause there to be a strong contrast between what has been the atmosphere of Oregon like unto Nazareth and bring a transformation in the heavens like unto Capernaum.
Capernaum vs Nazareth
Capernaum by the Sea of Galiee was a city in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali which became the hub for the healing miracle ministering of Jesus in to the surrounding Regions, cities and towns. It was in Capernaum that Jesus healed the paralytic in Mark ch. 2 and continued in mighty signs and wonders in Mark ch. 3 with creative healing of the man with the withered hand,In Matt. 8 we see the healing of the leper, the centurion servant and in verse 16, "When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed. And he cast out spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick." All these miracles and healings took place in Capernaum, As well as the raising of the dead with Jairus's daughter and the healing of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark ch.5. As we move from the Mighty manifestations of miracle healing in Mark 5 in Capernaum we immediately arrive in Nazareth in Mark 6:5 it declares" Now he could do no mighty works there, except that he laid hands on a few sick people and healed them." The atmosphere and spiritual climate in Capernaum was ripe for healing but Nazareth had brass heavens and hindered the healing anointing because of familiarity and unbelief. The Word of God declares "He could do no mighty miracles" It is not that he didn't want to do mighty healing but the corporate unbelief and familiarity of the people caused the heavens to be closed and limited the ministry of Jesus. The Holy Spirit said that Oregon State has been like it was in Nazareth in that he could only do but a few miracles because of the spiritual climate. Familiarity and unbelief have caused there to be a hardness in the heavens. But the Lord says that the heavens shall open and it shall be even as it was in Capernaum in that Oregon will be a hub into the World and Northwest for Healings, Signs and Wonders changing your spiritual Climate
I believe that the Holy Spirit showed me in the natural there was nothing different about Jesus, his faith and anointing in Nazareth vs.Capernaum, but that in Capernaum the heavens were open and in Nazareth they were closed. Jesus anointing and faith were the same but the impact of his ministry was different from one city to the next In the last couple of years as I have traveled and seen hundreds if not more healings and miracles, I have noticed that I can do everything the way I did it in a great healing explosion in one city and do the same elsewhere and see different results. What is happeninbg in heavens in the region where I am can limit the effectiveness of the anointing and what God does.
Two things about Nazareth that hindered a greater release of Power of God and Healing were familiarity and unbelief. In Mark 6:3 the bible declares that "is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, so they were offended at him" The operation of familiarity hinders the anointing because we no longer know a man after the spirit but the flesh, and the word of God declares that when you recieve a Prophet in the name of a Prophet you receive the Prophets reward. Appreciation and honoring always are connected to the anointing. In Acts 5:12 the bible declares " And through the hands of the Apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people " verse 13 " the people esteemed them lightly. That word for esteem is to show respect and make large. The more we go out of our way to know a man for who his is in God and not the flesh, and begin to treat all the servants of God as if we were receiving Jesus himself we would set them free to deposit in our lives all that God has. In the body of Christ we have so many attitudes of well who are you? And let's see if your good as I heard, Show me the goods. We have competition and jealousy in our hearts. We want to judge and fault pick, tear down ministry. We prefer ministry based on a name and give more respect to the man who we think is more popular. A large percentage of people in the body of Christ have rebellion in there hearts toward leadership. We struggle with submission and servant hood. I know that in many instances there have veen abuse and control issues in the church and that has made some gun shy. At the same time we have attitiudes of well what do they have that I don't. I believe that as close as I get to someone in ministry I must never cross that line of "Common" I must separate man and gifting. I never want to lose respect for Christ in you regardless of the faults I see and how close we get I still fear and regard who God has made you and the anointing you have for the body of Christ.
I was in South Africa this year and amazed at the level of respect and servant hood in the body. They called everyone on the team Pastor, High regard for ministry. They were offended if they couldn't carry your bag and considered it an honor to get you a glass of water and serve. In South Africa the young people dared not speak against the leaders, and it all seemed to be done in love and honor. They were so concerned for all the details of your life and comfort. They gave the same treatment to us as they would Reinhardt Bonnke or Benny Hinn. They know ministries by name but all are treated equal. "No big shots" I have been in places in USA where what they would do for a bigger name ministry they wouldn't do for you. We favor one another on the basis of whom we think you are and how large your name is. I believe that when we begin to treat the one that seems to be least in the body of Christ as the one with a international name the same, we will see that familiarity spirit come down and the power of God released in a greater way. Let's go out of our way to prefer and esteem one another highly.
I believe that we can see a change come to the spiritual climate of our region and city when we recognize that over North America there is a spirit of unbelief set up in the nation because of the unbelief in the hearts of Chrch Leaders and the body of Christ. You may have faith for healing and a miracle ministry and see a few sick healed but if we are going to see the release of the coming healing revival then we meed to see a change in the heavens nationally through corporate prayer. Intercessors and churches that will stand in the Gap like Daniel for the sins of familiarity and unbelief in the nation. Identification and repentance. Join me in prayer by repenting on behalf of those leaders and saints in the Body of Christ who don't believe in healing and miracles anymore. Let us ask God to forgive them and us for every time we have embraced doubt and religion rather that Faith and Power. We can see a greater release of healing come when we have a high regard for one another in the grace that God gave us and choose to walk in Faith. I want to see us cleanse the spiritual atmosphere of the nation through corporate prayer and repentance.

I was on the airplane flying to Coo's Bay Oregon for a recent series of meetings. The Holy Spirit gave me this word for the region and state of Oregon. I believe that the principals and prophetic strategies of this word on Changing your spiritual climate has prophetic keys to Opening the Heavens for miracles and Healing in all Regions.Please take time to prayerfully consider what the Holy Spirit may want to say to you in your city or nation about Capernaum!!
The Holy Spirit said I am changing the spiritual Climate over the state of Oregon. I am rending the heavens for an outpouring of Healing's and miracles. I will cause there to be a strong contrast between what has been the atmosphere of Oregon like unto Nazareth and bring a transformation in the heavens like unto Capernaum.
Capernaum vs Nazareth
Capernaum by the Sea of Galiee was a city in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali which became the hub for the healing miracle ministering of Jesus in to the surrounding Regions, cities and towns. It was in Capernaum that Jesus healed the paralytic in Mark ch. 2 and continued in mighty signs and wonders in Mark ch. 3 with creative healing of the man with the withered hand,In Matt. 8 we see the healing of the leper, the centurion servant and in verse 16, "When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed. And he cast out spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick." All these miracles and healings took place in Capernaum, As well as the raising of the dead with Jairus's daughter and the healing of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark ch.5. As we move from the Mighty manifestations of miracle healing in Mark 5 in Capernaum we immediately arrive in Nazareth in Mark 6:5 it declares" Now he could do no mighty works there, except that he laid hands on a few sick people and healed them." The atmosphere and spiritual climate in Capernaum was ripe for healing but Nazareth had brass heavens and hindered the healing anointing because of familiarity and unbelief. The Word of God declares "He could do no mighty miracles" It is not that he didn't want to do mighty healing but the corporate unbelief and familiarity of the people caused the heavens to be closed and limited the ministry of Jesus. The Holy Spirit said that Oregon State has been like it was in Nazareth in that he could only do but a few miracles because of the spiritual climate. Familiarity and unbelief have caused there to be a hardness in the heavens. But the Lord says that the heavens shall open and it shall be even as it was in Capernaum in that Oregon will be a hub into the World and Northwest for Healings, Signs and Wonders changing your spiritual Climate
I believe that the Holy Spirit showed me in the natural there was nothing different about Jesus, his faith and anointing in Nazareth vs.Capernaum, but that in Capernaum the heavens were open and in Nazareth they were closed. Jesus anointing and faith were the same but the impact of his ministry was different from one city to the next In the last couple of years as I have traveled and seen hundreds if not more healings and miracles, I have noticed that I can do everything the way I did it in a great healing explosion in one city and do the same elsewhere and see different results. What is happeninbg in heavens in the region where I am can limit the effectiveness of the anointing and what God does.
Two things about Nazareth that hindered a greater release of Power of God and Healing were familiarity and unbelief. In Mark 6:3 the bible declares that "is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, so they were offended at him" The operation of familiarity hinders the anointing because we no longer know a man after the spirit but the flesh, and the word of God declares that when you recieve a Prophet in the name of a Prophet you receive the Prophets reward. Appreciation and honoring always are connected to the anointing. In Acts 5:12 the bible declares " And through the hands of the Apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people " verse 13 " the people esteemed them lightly. That word for esteem is to show respect and make large. The more we go out of our way to know a man for who his is in God and not the flesh, and begin to treat all the servants of God as if we were receiving Jesus himself we would set them free to deposit in our lives all that God has. In the body of Christ we have so many attitudes of well who are you? And let's see if your good as I heard, Show me the goods. We have competition and jealousy in our hearts. We want to judge and fault pick, tear down ministry. We prefer ministry based on a name and give more respect to the man who we think is more popular. A large percentage of people in the body of Christ have rebellion in there hearts toward leadership. We struggle with submission and servant hood. I know that in many instances there have veen abuse and control issues in the church and that has made some gun shy. At the same time we have attitiudes of well what do they have that I don't. I believe that as close as I get to someone in ministry I must never cross that line of "Common" I must separate man and gifting. I never want to lose respect for Christ in you regardless of the faults I see and how close we get I still fear and regard who God has made you and the anointing you have for the body of Christ.

A Word to Sandpoint, Idaho
The line is being drawn in the sand in Sandpoint says the Lord. On one side is tradition and apathy, on the other is obedience and outreach. I am calling My Church like Peter, to cross the threshold of their boats and walk on My word to wage a good warfare. To launch out into the deep of My purposes and take in a great catch. I am reengineering the heart of My church in this hour. I am renovating My Temple as I did then to accommodate the lame, the lost, and the dying. 'My house shall be called a house of prayer says the Lord...'
John 3:16 will be manifest in you in this hour, 'For God so loved the world that He gave...' I will show you what it means to lay down your life for a friend. I will show you what it means to love your brother. In this hour the mantle of personal agenda will be rent in two to take on the Spirit of Elijah. The hearts of the children returning to the Fathers and the Fathers to their children says the Lord.
The walls of division and selfishness will crumble and from the ashes of it will emerge a 'city upon a hill that cannot be hid...' A Jerusalem, a prophetic and apostolic "mecca" of revival and reformation. Many will come from hundreds, even thousands of miles to stand in the light of My glory revealed there. I will give you the revelation of the marketplace in this hour says the Lord. I will give you the marketplace.
No longer will My heart be contained in the upper-rooms of conferences and meetings. My heart will even now escape the confines of conferencing to invade the marketplaces and streets. I will hide Myself in the broad places and lanes of the city and like the lovers in the Song of Solomon, you will have to find Me there says the Lord. You will have to find Me there...
For the Lord would say to you in this hour O Sandpoint, O Idaho, O America, will you come out from the closets of preparation and meet Me in the streets? Will you chase Me now in the white fields of harvest? Can we run and play in the fields of passion? Or will you be satisfied with beds of ivory and safe places? Are there any now that will hazard their lives to find Me? To risk reputation and institution to really know Me? Prepare yourself O Sandpoint to take in a draught. Break up the fallow ground O Church and prepare for a harvest. ‘Lift up your eyes O Sandpoint for the fields are white…’

Word for Paisley Oregon
April 2, 2001
This is only a holding pattern in Paisley.
But God says, "I want to give you something Paisley that you couldn't have gotten anywhere else.
And you're going to go back into the places of your origin but you won't live there, but you'll go back and forth, and God says that your network ministry will be all over the globe and God's going to use you to start fires. You're going to carry the matches and seeds of revival .
And God said you'll be weeks here, or months here. you'll charge people for Jesus. (not in dollars)
God will use you to bring revival and the passion of God. And that might even bear some weight on some of your future decisions.
What decisions you'll make because the weight of all your decisions must be.. "Is this for harvest, and is this going to bring glory to God?"
Even though it may seem like good things, they must be God things.
God will give you discernment and understanding to make the right decisions because it all balances the weight would be to impact people for Jesus. You don't have to forsake careers.
Often God gives you dreams to give God glory.
No doubt revival is coming to this church. I see an alliance between the three churches. A holy alliance, already there, God will enhance and command a blessing. Harvest and productivity, changing the productivity in the ground. Fruit, much fruit of harvest. I see God blessing as a direct sign of the blessings of God. The natural commodities in this town.
Rebuke rumors of drought. Call an abundance of rain. We will see and hear an abundance of rain. God, You will open up supernatural springs in this area if necessary. You will break up the fountains of the deep if necessary. As the church comes together in this area, as they obey a Holy Vision to accommodate Your move and Your people and come into an alliance as they already are moving in that direction. You will command a blessing that will change the very climate in this area and God You will open up the very ground if necessary. The water will come. Watch and see.
If you've got to speak to the rock speak to it, if you've got to strike the ground strike it.
And I will feed My people I will water this land. Doubt it not! Doubt it not! I will do it!
And then when others from other places come and say, "What is this?" We don't have any, but you do?" and you will say, "Jesus! Jesus!" You'll be like Joseph in Egypt, you'll say "God has sustained us and in times of famine we have laughed. The Bible says in Psalms In times of famine you will laugh.
And it will all be a product of your obedience to a Holy call to unity to lay down your own agendas and say God at all cost Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." We pray you would accompany Your Word from all sources that it comes from with signs and wonders of God. Signs in heaven above and earth beneath. This will be a center of revival, and model of unity and an example of God's love and compassion.

REVIVAL: SMALL TOWN AMERICA
For who has despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice..." (Zechariah 4:10).
This message is two-fold, one it is A brief report of what we have been seeing across the nation in "small town America," small cities and towns, some with only populations of 250. Two, it is a prophetic glimpse into the future of national revival and reformation. One such place was in Paisley Oregon where we experienced this phenomena of revival in a seemingly obscure and small city. In this tiny town of only 250 God reached the world. Let me explain. In this city was a dormitory of high school exchange students from around the globe. Bosnia, Korea, China, Russia, Mongolia, Sweden, Switzerland and Japan, just to name a few. Over 20 students from various nations. Two were saved when we arrived, all were saved when we left. God reached the world in four days...
The paradox is this; God is moving wherever there is a hunger for Him and a desperation for salvations. Not only in metropolitan cites, but in the rural areas as well God is appearing. God is reaching out wherever there is a beacon of prayer and hunger beaming into Heaven. Shortly after Paisley we were in Battle Mountain Nevada. Another small seemingly obscure place. Again the phenomena of revival began to break out as hunger superceded tradition. As I write this report I am in Harlem Georgia. For a week now from Methodist churches to Pentecostal it is the same, a great hunger for revival and harvest, a charged atmosphere of breakthrough. From out of the way places like Swainsboro Georgia, Lincolnton Georgia, and Augusta Georgia. The cry of harvest is reaching a crescendo. 'GOD WE NEED REVIVAL! WE CANNOT GO FROM SUNDAY TO SUNDAY ANY LONGER! WE NEED A MOVE OF GOD!'
In Kettle Falls, Washington with no more than 20 in our meetings God moved dramatically. From the church to the local bar God was appearing. Again, a town hardly on the map, but the desire of simple people was pulling on the throne of Heaven. Souls were being saved and people began to come from all around. We are getting emails everyday from obscure and out of the way places to come and partner in harvest and revival. My answer is the same to every one, "YES!" Jesus revealed His heart when he made the statement, "leave the ninety-nine for the one..." In this hour the greatest glory will be found with the one. Most will still pursue the "ninety-nine" but the secret treasure of revival will be found with the "one", the few and the infrequent.
Many well known leaders will begin to hear the call from Bethlehem. They will ignore the popular opinion that says, "Can any good thing come from there?" They will see the divine destiny in these small cities and places and go on their accord without price of figure. They will be the ones asking to come without even an invitation. They will be like the man who found the hidden treasure in the field and gave all he had to secure it. Many treasures of revival are hidden in small town America. A few of the mainline ministries are about to discover the wealth of these hidden places. The allure of large offerings will not compel them, but rather the eternal weight of glory hidden in these towns will draw them. These small places will become headquarter of international revival. They will have an incredible revelation of missions and outreach. They will send thousands into the uttermost parts of the earth.
These small towns will also produce some the futures most prolific leaders and missionaries. A passion of harvest will resound in the hearts of these young people. The temptation of the age will not seduce them. They will rise from the shadow of obscurity to shine. They will excel in academics where other larger cities are struggling. This will get the attention of media and government and only help to spread the fires of revival. Generations of prayer and prophecies in these small towns will now begin to rapidly be fulfilled. Not one jot or tittle will fall to ground empty. But rather a great harvest of promise is about to occur in "small town America." Great Christian political leaders even now are being prepared for public service in these areas. They will adhere to the morals of their forefathers and the convictions of Christ. They will bring revival to the political arena.
Even now we are planning on returning to these rural areas and preparing to go to others. Auburn Washington. Naches Washington. Loganville Georgia. Redwood City California. Mariposa California. In Mariposa last year we experienced epic reconciliation between Native America and Anglo America. Even after a year this revival continues. They have experienced first hand chiefs and elders from local tribes come to acknowledge what God is doing in their city. It has been researched that Mariposa was the first place that a treaty was broken out of over 300 hundred treaties and government covenants made in California. It is no surprise then that Mariposa began the reconciliation and repentance. A great treasure of national revival was hidden in that field. God give us eyes and hearts to see it!
"Small town America" will be on the map of histories greatest revivals. In the Bible belt states in particular, the southern states, a great grace for unity will be poured out. Walls that have separated Baptist and Pentecostal will fall flat. A shout from Heaven and the hungry will bring these ancient gates down. Charismatic and conservative will stand together to see this great catch of harvest come in. The racial lines will be blurred and washed away as well. The dreams and visions of former equal rights advocates will now begin to come to consummation. A great chain of unity will connect black and white, Baptist and Pentecostal, Lutheran and Methodist. It will set a spiritual precedent for the whole nation. It will set in motion racial reconciliation and revival. "Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you..." (IS. 60:1)

PROPHETIC WORD - HEALING CITIES
Following is a prophetic and declarative word from Barbara Wentroble the last day of the Northwest Intercessor’s conference, Saturday March 10, 2001 in Portland, Oregon.
"This is a region, and this is a territory where in days past there were explorers who came into this area - explorers such as Lewis and Clark that came through this Northwest Territory, and they explored this land and this region. And in this exploring they discovered rivers, and they discovered streams, and they discovered sources of water.
And I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, "This is an hour that I am going to release an anointing upon My spiritual explorers in this area. They’re going to discover rivers of water, and they’re going to discover healing streams.
This is an hour I’m going to cause the streams to begin to come together in this area. And even as the streams and the tributaries begin to join together, I’m going to release a power in this area, and it shall be a power that shall cause healings and miracles to be released. I purpose this area to be an area of healing.
"I’m going to even raise up healing centers from city to city and region to region. There will be healing cities. And many will come into those healing waters and they shall find healing, and they shall find restoration. Know that as I release My healing anointing, not just the church is going to come, but know that I shall bring the desperate. I shall bring those that do not know Me, but they are desperate for a miracle. And they shall come into those healing centers, and I shall release my healing, restoring power. It will cause a mighty harvest to break open in this area.
Where other cities have had people come from the far corners of the earth to receive refreshing and renewing in places such as Toronto and Pensacola, I’m going to cause those that need to be healed to come into this area, and they will get into the healing waters of My Spirit. And in these healing centers that I am going to raise up from city to city, I’m going to release miracles in this hour. I will be glorified.
"For even as it was in the past when I sent explorers into this territory to find, and they found sources of water, I say My spiritual explorers in this area are going to find healing waters and healing streams. I’m going to loose the waters of revival in this area. I’m going to change the statistics of this area. No longer will they be able to report that this is the least evangelized area, but they will report of a mighty move of My Spirit in this area. And I shall cause an influx of people to come even out of the nations of the world. And they shall come to behold the mighty things that the Lord shall do in this area."
"No longer will they be able to report that this is the least evangelized area, but they will report of a mighty move of My Spirit in this area.

And I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, "This is an hour that I am going to release an anointing upon My spiritual explorers in this area. They’re going to discover rivers of water, and they’re going to discover healing streams.
This is an hour I’m going to cause the streams to begin to come together in this area. And even as the streams and the tributaries begin to join together, I’m going to release a power in this area, and it shall be a power that shall cause healings and miracles to be released. I purpose this area to be an area of healing.
"I’m going to even raise up healing centers from city to city and region to region. There will be healing cities. And many will come into those healing waters and they shall find healing, and they shall find restoration. Know that as I release My healing anointing, not just the church is going to come, but know that I shall bring the desperate. I shall bring those that do not know Me, but they are desperate for a miracle. And they shall come into those healing centers, and I shall release my healing, restoring power. It will cause a mighty harvest to break open in this area.
Where other cities have had people come from the far corners of the earth to receive refreshing and renewing in places such as Toronto and Pensacola, I’m going to cause those that need to be healed to come into this area, and they will get into the healing waters of My Spirit. And in these healing centers that I am going to raise up from city to city, I’m going to release miracles in this hour. I will be glorified.
"For even as it was in the past when I sent explorers into this territory to find, and they found sources of water, I say My spiritual explorers in this area are going to find healing waters and healing streams. I’m going to loose the waters of revival in this area. I’m going to change the statistics of this area. No longer will they be able to report that this is the least evangelized area, but they will report of a mighty move of My Spirit in this area. And I shall cause an influx of people to come even out of the nations of the world. And they shall come to behold the mighty things that the Lord shall do in this area."
