Bonnie Jones’ word for the Pacific Northwest

May 2007:

This word came to Bonnie while she was in Seattle on May 13, 2007 (Mother’s Day) but it hasn’t been time to release it until now:

“My eyes are seeking out the Northwest Territory; seeking whom I may devour with My love, as well as My fiery. I’m uncapping old wells and releasing new minds. I’m glorious in this day,” Says God.

“Hear the angels roar. I’m coming in My Glory. Ready or not, here I come! My bride has been awakened with a holy kiss from My mouth. She has prepared her lamps to be filled with My Holy oil. Today I come with a blast of the trumpet and the sounding of cymbals. My voice radiates throughout the land. Who am I? I AM the King of Glory.”

May 31^st – Memorial Day:

The Lord spoke to Bonnie about the four directions. This is exactly how it came to her:

“Emerging out of the west, comes a fiery sword. From the east, comes my tongue. From the north, my people run and take shelter. From the south comes the book of wisdom and understanding. Be not afraid for thou art with thee. I’m coming in the east,” says God “with miraculous power. I’m coming from the west in strength and demonstration. I’m coming from the south in memory of me and from the north, I AM.”

These Are No Longer Grounded Eagles

THESE ARE NO LONGER GROUNDED EAGLES, as in those who are not encouraged to soar in their gifts. These are the "grounded" eagles who are seasoned and established by the true heart of Father. 

Back in 2007 when everyone was talking about the eagles arriving in the NW, I had a dream and Father took me to Jeremiah 8:7-8, speaking of the misuse of the law and that even the migratory birds knew when to be where they are called. That was the message Father used to move me out first to Washington State. 

I BELIEVE HE IS CALLING THE EAGLES TO LAND. They are gathering as a prophetic picture of their release to the mantels and mandate they carry and must carry out. This is the beginning of their moment. In the past, many of the prophetic were "run off" or tied to the ground. We can no longer compromise the call by settling to hide in a cave (Adullam) for fear that we will lose our lives. 

This is the moment we were created for. To "land" with others where we are called and to deliver by The Spirit what is in us to give. Those on the earth will not always hear what you are yelling from "above" in the secret place. Jesus descended to encounter humanity. He came to where we are. That is the heart of Father. We must land to release. 

THERE SHOULD BE A GREAT CELEBRATION THAT THE PROPHETS ARE RETURNING TO THE LAND. Yes, they are called to soar, but remember there is a time to connect to the land as well. We see the ploys of the enemy from the high places and we must of course, travel and spend time there with The Father. This is where the "seer" gift works so effectively. 

We must also gather together and take the land that is given us. I'm of course, speaking allegorically. Your land may be your bloodline, your business, your sphere of influence (friendship or relationships). 

I had a dream recently, where I was standing in a snowy field and eagles were soaring directly above my head. These were not all mature large eagles. I believe that some still need to be established in their call. Every one of them was flying just above the ground. They were going to "land". 

I reached up and touched one or two on the tip of their wings. This was such a joyous and incredible moment! I knew that we had been waiting for them to come and here they were, coming in for their landing! 

As a prophetic people, let's not forget to get our heads out of the sky and be real, so that we speak practically and wisely into those on the ground

Volcanic Eruption For Oregon Warning

By Rick Watkins, 2007

Prophetic Word for Bend/Three Sisters

Last year I saw this vision during my prayer time. For a while I wasn’t led to report this and merely recorded it in my daily journal, but the unction to share the warning now is very strong. About 1 month ago Holy Spirit led me to an article by Bobby Conner about a vision he had telling of coming volcanic activity near Bend, Oregon. I found his testimony of nearly 2 years ago archived in my journal. His vision was then quickened to what I saw so that the individual parts aligned and connected in a most inspired and revealing way, as you’ll see. Though I don’t personally know Bobby, I’m grateful for his faithful contribution to this revelation. (Link to Bobby's post: It's Coming Down The Track And Around The Bend)

THE VISION. In the first scene I was standing in a vacated town with empty streets and looking up at the side of a nearby volcanic mountain. In the background I could hear voices as on a news station. I ‘knew’ the town had been warned of a pending eruption and the voices on the news were talking about how some people had chosen “to stay until the last minute” and refused to leave. The news story was about those who stayed behind to “pay wages.” I saw no one on the street in front of me, but I ’knew’ people were still inside the shops, or up on the mountainside. I felt that the town had tourist business activity. I gathered that the volcano was near a populated area and located in the great Northwest somewhere.

In the second scene I was focused on the cone-shaped mountain towering above the town when it began to shake. It shook so violently that I could visibly see the shaking begin at a mid-point halfway up the slope, and then it intensified and the entire mountain began to tremble. I was not shown the very top of the mountain. The slopes of the mountain were covered with evergreen trees. Whether trees exist on the slopes both ‘in the spirit’ and ‘in the world’, I do not know. There was no snow on the lower slopes of the mountain in my view. I caution that the details I was given may represent deeper meanings than what ‘meets the eye’ in the physical world.

Suddenly a massive chunk exploded out of the side of the mountain from about halfway up and shot through the air. It blasted out from the same center section where the shaking first began. The chunk flew through the air over my right shoulder and zipped past me like a meteor. Behind this explosion I saw a bright burst of red-hot lava streak through the air. A huge gaping hole was left, and the whole center section of the volcano continued to shake and rise violently revealing an overflowing flood of rising magma. For a moment I could see directly inside the resulting giant cavity left in the side of the mountain and watched as the magma flowed out above the town. It was evident that if people were still on the slopes it would have been like standing at ground-zero of a bomb blast. There was no indication that the top of the mountain blew.

Quickened revelation. Recently I was led back to Bobby Conner’s post archived in my daily journal. Then Holy Spirit quickened this Word to me; “...I will quicken My personal Word to you through any and all of life, no matter who or what. Keep your eyes on Me and I will quicken and bring to life My Word to you...” I Cor. 13:9- 13, “For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY these three; but the greatest of these is CHARITY.” (My emphasis.) This verse turned out to be a great insight!

At this point let’s take a look at Bobby Conner’s vision: The title of his article is called “It’s Coming Down The Track And Around The BEND.” (My emphasis.) Now I’m going to quote the parts more directly quickened to my part of this revelation. Bobby says, “I was then told that the coming volcanic activity near Bend, Oregon would announce the beginning of one of the greatest healing revivals in history. This healing revival will start around Hamilton, Ontario, and then blaze across Canada to Vancouver. From there it will turn down the Northwest Coast of the U.S. and cross the Pacific to the Far East.”

“I was then told to spell locomotive ’local-motive’. The Lord said that this local area in the Northwest was a seedbed of the healing anointing that was upon John G. Lake. The sign of the volcanic activity around Bend, Oregon, is that the Lord is turning up the heat, but it will bring about a refining and purifying of His people so He can release healing in the earth in an unprecedented way.”

“The voice that was speaking then said to me, “Have you ever seen anything like this?” I looked and saw the very top of a mountain, which was covered with pure white snow. (Remember that I did not see the top of the mountain in my vision, and Bobby is seeing yet another part.) I was carried to the rim so that I could look over into the large open top of the mountain. It was filled with beautiful clear boiling water. I knew that this was the Word of God.”

When this testimony was quickened to me it helped me find the physical location of the volcano and to see deeper meanings. Bobby saw his volcano near Bend, Oregon, and that is why I highlighted references like “Around the Bend.” I also noticed some other phrases used in his testimony that connected with the eruption I saw. Notice the sentences I highlighted in yellow in his article. Phrases like, “clear boiling water,” and “looked like dust and steam,” and “a loud sound,” and “through the dust and ashes,” and “after the heat and pressure that are coming.” These are all phrases applicable to a volcanic eruption. Also notice, “the coming volcanic activity near Bend, Oregon,” and “turning up the heat,” and “clear boiling water,” and “a great cloud of dust and steam,” and “of fire coming,” and “mixed with dust,” and “the dust which is mixed in with the steam at first,” and “a loud sound,” and “a great disturbance,” and more.

Other insights. Next I began to research existing volcanoes in the Bend, Oregon area, based on these leadings. To my surprise, there were more than a few. On the Internet, I felt led to focus my search on the USGS report titled “DESCRIPTION: Three Sisters Volcanoes, Oregon.” I saw the subtitle, “”Faith”, “Hope”, and “Charity.”” Now remember the verse I quoted earlier from I Cor. 13:9- 13. I highlighted the word “CHARITY” in that verse. To my astonishment, as I began to read about these volcanoes I discovered that their original name said to be given in the early 1800s, is FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY! Now notice what the scripture said above about which one is the greatest. I found it interesting that the volcanoes were each named beginning from the north. Mt. Faith was the northern most, then Mt. Hope, and the southern most was called Mt. Charity! And Mt. Charity is also the tallest and measures 10,358 feet high, over 200 feet greater than the other two! Only South Sister, Mt. Charity has had eruptions in recent history. Now remember that Bobby said “I was carried to the rim so that I could look over into the large open top of the mountain. It was filled with beautiful, clear boiling water.” The South Sister volcano, Mt. Charity, also has a fresh water crater lake inside the cone!

Next I found an article titled “Suspected Volcano Forming In Oregon.” This shows how geologists recently recorded a swarm of 350 small quakes only 3 miles south of the South Sister volcano. They speculate that an underground lake of molten lava is forming and causing a bulge in the ground that was detected by satellite. I quote, “The US Geological Survey (USGS) says that a bulge in the Earth’s crust, covering an area of around 100 square miles, seems to be getting bigger, suggesting that a large quantity of magma is on the move.” (This article was published by Lucy Sherriff of The Register, Oregon, Thursday, Sept. 8th, 2005.)

I also found a USGS article titled “Ground Uplift Near South Sister Volcano.” This report includes a color graphic of a radar interferogram again showing the giant size of the area effected by this magma bulge. The ground uplift was measured by satellite to be about 4 inches over 4 years. This recorded evidence helps me see just how immanently urgent these vision/revelations are. Now we can begin to see that something BIG is happening right now under the ‘greatest of these’ volcanoes, Mt. Charity, the South Sister Volcano, near Bend, Oregon. In the last article above there is a subsection called “Volcanic Background.” I quote the opening line, “Three Sisters is one of three potentially active volcanic centers that lie close to resort areas in Central Oregon.” And that is what was also quickened to me. Please post any further insight, interpretation, or confirmation you may receive as the Lord leads you.

Purified By The Snow

December 31, 2008

In view of the recent chilling weather conditions across the country from the north to the south from east to the west, the Spirit of the Lord has reminded me of this simple word I was given on January 11, 2007. My prayer for all is that you’ve had a safe and restful time with God as He’s once again allowed the snows of His purifying love to be poured down from Heaven above.

Just as numerous disastrous occurrences are currently happening around the world, I believe once again God is speaking to us all. He’s looking for all of our attention to be entirely focused on Himself. It’s definitely time for a solid refocusing upon the God of the Universe. If God doesn’t have your undivided attention yet, He soon will.

This is the original word released on January 11, 2007

Over many generations as many in the Body of Christ are currently aware of, sin and the curses that follow sin can and have come upon many of us and the land in which we inhabit.

This morning, the Spirit of the Lord began to speak to me in an audible voice saying, “This is the Grace of Heaven that has fallen upon you Great Northwest. Clean up your act, start acting by faith, in faith to Me The Faithful One. Begin to do the acts found in the Acts of the Apostles. The sin that is upon the land is being purified by this recent snowfall.”

“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Psalms 51:7

“Pray, pray, pray that the devastation that’s been prophesied doesn’t happen, those things are warnings for you to pray.”

“Watch, then, for you do not know what hour your Lord comes.” Matthew 24:40

“This day, you have been blessed by the frozen assets from Heaven, just as Doctors freeze cancers off the body, I have caused things to freeze up and die. I will put opposition into a deep freeze and cause it to fall away. As the snow melts there is a healing process beginning upon the Northwest.”

“To consecrate her by cleansing her in a bath of baptism as she utters her confession, in order to have the Church as His very own, standing before Him in all her glory, with never a spot or wrinkle or any such flaw, but consecrated and unblemished.” Ephesians 5:26-28 Moffatt

“My people have become a stiff-necked people, you shall begin to pray and grab the hand of those that hate you within My Church.”

“And you shall know that Jehovah your God is not giving you this good land, to possess it, for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.” Deutronomy 9:6

“I will bring down dissension.”

“My people, on whom My name is a called, shall be humbled, and shall pray, and shall seek My face, and shall turn back from their evil ways, then I will surely hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land.”

2 Chronicles 7:14

“I don’t want devastation to overcome you because of sin done in the land, this day I say continue to cry out for more of My life to be in your life, for your States Cities, Schools and certainly for My Church.”

“And I also say to you, that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against her.” Matthew 16:18

“My purity has come down from the Heavens for ALL to see, it has come to cause you to stop and see your busyness. For you shall arise in the morning and acknowledge Me like never before.”

“O God, You are my God; I earnestly seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and weary land without water.” Psalm: 63:1

“Acknowledge Me as Ruler over ALL the Universe, for ALL that comes down from Me The Father of Lights is good.”

“Do not go astray, my beloved brothers, every act of giving good and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no change or shadow of turning.” James 1:16, 17

May the Blessing of Heaven be upon you this day.

Editorial Comment: Every revelation requires interpretation and application. A word like this can sound very judgmental, harsh, condemning, hopeless; but I believe that is in the interpretation: in the hands of a God who is love, judgment must be a loving act. If this is a word from God, then it is a word of love, not of condemnation. Listen for the love.

Second, the word must be applied. If we listen to (or read) a word like this, and as a result, we give up hope for the cities mentioned, then we have failed to represent God's heart. If we pause in our intercession, or if we counsel the people of God to abandon these cities, we miss God's purposes. Abraham argued mercy against God's judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah, and because of his intercession - and because of the presence of a small number of godly people in the cities - he negotiated far more mercy for them than God had originally announced.

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.”

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.

Northwest Women Arising

The Lord says, I am erasing all the lines of artificiality that have been drawn around you that have tried to keep you in. I say to you, you are the chief architect of those lines. I am erasing them and I am wiping them away so that you’re not going to be concerned about crossing over a line or going someplace you are not suppose to go.

The Lord says, If I’ve given it to you, if I’ve put it within you then whose line are you measuring by? No one besides Me draws the lines. I drew the line and said even through my servant Job, “The waves will come this far and not further.” I am the one who makes the lines and boundaries. If I didn’t put it there, who did and why are you honoring it? I will cause something to rise up on the inside of you and you will refuse to honor the limitations that have been put upon you by others because they’re not legal, they’re not lawful, they are not right before me and I do not honor them! If I do not honor them I’m not calling you to honor them but rather to break through them. So get your eraser out and erase all those artificial lines, those boundaries, those limitations, and those places that say: I have to stay in this place and I can’t move out of this place.

The Lord says, That is not what I say! The Lord says if you balk me or hold back on this it is going to cost you time, misery, and heartache. I am warning you because I know once you are sure and know it’s okay, you will be bold and rise up! I want you to know clearly this day; I have not put those lines in place. I want you to cross them. The enemy has drawn a line in the sand and said, Don’t cross this line. I say, ignore him and walk right over it. Don’t look his way or honor that threat, but move on and press into Me. I will tolerate no resistance in this matter. I want you to rise up and break out!!

Tomorrow and Chicks

The Lord breathed His breath of life on me in these two dreams I received this last spring:

I dreamed that I was very pregnant, gravid with child, so to speak. The birth was expected tomorrow. I was looking at live pictures of the baby in the womb and it was large and all ready to come. I was surprised to be having a baby because I hadn’t planned on it, and I had to start thinking about what it takes to raise a child. I was full of anticipation.

In the second dream I was in a room with cardboard boxes on counters. I looked in them and saw hens in each of them. I walked down the rows and pet some of them. Later I looked in the boxes again and saw that instead of the hens, there were baby chicks.

For some time my husband and I had been going through some challenges and trials that seemed to be squeezing us tighter than we cold bear. We went through a transition which included moving to a different house, with all the difficulties involved in that. There are also some new ministry areas the Lord has been leading us into, as well as the business we own. Instead of simplicity and rest, we seemed to have been enmeshed in complexity and stress for a long period of time.

The Lord has been speaking to the Body of Christ about transition, new beginnings, entering His rest, coming outside the box, and birthing the miracles, healings, and signs and wonders that accompany the bringing of His Kingdom into our everyday lives. I believe there are parallels between what is happening globally, and what we see in our personal lives as we aspire to hear and obey what God is saying in this season.

I believe He was comforting me in these dreams, showing me that this particular process in my life has come to a fullness of time. The “tomorrow” is almost here; the transition into the next season after the long wait. The squeezing is a painful process, but it is a birthing to the freedom on the other side. This applies to the Church in general when we think of the burdens some of us have been carrying for a long time. They have weighed us down, but we’re about to be loosed from them.

We’ve just entered the new Hebrew year 5768, which signifies not only the end of one year and the beginning of the next, but also the end of a whole seven-year season and a new beginning (8 is symbolic of new beginnings) of the next season in God’s plan for the ages. This time is a birthing of a new season upon us personally and corporately; an appointed time of new beginnings, new challenges, new power and authority, and new Glory! Praise to the Almighty!
