There are treasures of light in the midst of the darkest storm.
One week ago [from the original post in 2008] I was given a simple yet very vivid dream that captured my attention. The dream appeared to take place in the beautiful Northwest part of the United States and in the background I saw what appeared to be Mount Hood*. I am unclear of the significance of this particular volcanic mount but it was what the Holy Spirit chose as the backdrop for this particular dream.
*(Mount Hood is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of northern Oregon, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is located about 50 miles (80 km) east-southeast of the city of Portland, on the border between Clackamas and Hood River counties. Mount Hood's snow-covered peak rises 11,249 feet (3,429 m ) and is home to twelve glaciers. It is the highest mountain in Oregon and the fourth-highest in the Cascade Range. Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt, though based on its history, an explosive eruption is unlikely.)
Fire and Rain
I was riding a bicycle in this dream as fast as I could to get away from the activity of an approaching eruption of Mount Hood. All of a sudden, in the dream, I saw Mount Hood erupt. Plumes of smoke filled the sky like a giant fireworks display on the 4th of July. I kept peddling as fast as I could knowing there was still time to avoid the volcanic results that appeared imminent. Others were on their bicycles was well and were racing to get out of the way of the looming disaster. Chaos seemed to be the prevailing ruling atmosphere as fear was griping many hearts.
All of a sudden I slowed down and realized it was beginning to rain. I stopped and pulled over to the side of the road while others just raced right passed me. They seemed driven by fear but in this dream I knew something else was about to occur. As others were racing to escape the storm, I looked up I saw a great explosion as Mount Hood erupted with smoke and fire high into the air. It was beginning to rain. Fire and Rain. Fire and Rain. Yes, Fire and Rain came down at the same time.
But as I knelt by the roadside, I saw that jewels were being scattered all over the ground. As I got out of the panic mode, and I paused along side the road, to my surprise, I found that as the Fire and Rain hit the earth, it turned into precious jewels. I was now fully engaged in picking up the jewels that were falling in the midst of the storm. Entire diamond and emerald rings, onyx necklaces and precious jewelry were being scattered all over the ground. But I had to pause, get out of the panic mode, and get off the path, to even know that the fire and the rain turned into precious jewels.
A Word in the Dream
I was elated in this dream as I collected handfuls of costly gems. I loaded up my backpack with scores of rings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants of every kind. Others were totally unaware that jewels had fallen. They were caught up in the fear driven moment of escaping the dire circumstances. As I woke up out of this stunning dream, the voice of the Holy Spirit spoke to me, “I will give jewels to my bride in the midst of the storm.”
Yes, He will give jewels to His bride in the midst of the storm. I needed that dream and you might also. As odd as it might seem to you, I actually feel led by the Holy Spirit not to interpret all the symbols for you in this dream. I believe this dream will speak to you right where you are – right where you live. I know how it is speaking to me. But this is not just a dream to help me navigate in a perilous hour – this dream is filled with clues and hints, if you search for them, on how you too can find jewels in the midst of the storm. Yes, He will give us treasures in the midst of darkness.
May the Holy Spirit guide each of us into His ways and the fullness of His purposes in this very hour. Blessings to you in this season and may He adorn you with His jewels even in the midst of a storm. In Jesus Great Name! Amen and Amen!

Today, we believe God would have us share “A Great Visitation” once again. It is hard to believe it has been two years since God gave this to us, and yet our hearts are stirred today as never before with a sense of urgency, for the Church to prepare and make herself ready for this Great Visitation, and His Glory to be seen (Isa. 40:5), even this year!
When we look at the many prophecies in God’s Holy Word, we rarely find specific dates or times given regarding their fulfillment. The prophets of old would speak into the future under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, then confidently released the outcome into the hands of an amazing God, who always performs His Word at just the right time, just as He did on the day of Pentecost.
God instructed us at the beginning of the year to Wake Up His Church, to Shake Her Up! It is time for the Church to Awake from her complacency and slumber! It is time for her to prepare herself, just as this word says.
Prepare Everywhere – He's Coming to Visit!
We need to keep in mind, this Great Visitation, His Glory is not coming to entertain us or just to make us feel good, but to transform and change us, His Church! This will be a time of great change in His Church! A time to set His house in order! A time of great cleansing, purifying, unifying and making ready the Bride of Christ to rise up and Be Glorious in the earth! Preparing us for His great end-time work – to bring in the harvest of souls, and for His return! (Also see the "End Time Vision: 7 Doors" here)
Pray, Listen, and Pass it On
Below is the prophecy “A Great Visitation” God gave us during a time of deep intercession for His Church. We pray it brings encouragement and also a sense of urgency of what is coming as this new decade unfolds. It also includes an audio reading from a previous message introduction. Please prayerfully read, listen to it, and pass it on to others as the Holy Spirit may lead you.
"There is coming a Great Visitation to the earth. So prepare, oh man of God prepare! Prepare everywhere, prepare. I will separate the precious from the vile, Man has made his plans but it is MY PURPOSES AND PLANS THAT SHALL PREVAIL for I cannot fail! Tell Me, who can stop or stay My hand when I decide to move throughout this land? So I am calling you Oh Man of God! Arise Oh Man of God, it is your day of visitation. RISE UP out of your confusion and disgrace! It is the Day of Visitation so Rise up, oh man of God and draw your sword. I Am here, and there is a great cloud of witnesses cheering you on. |
We encourage you personally, and all the Body of Christ to be ready and waiting, anticipating this great thing that God is about to do! We close with a reminder of the word our daughter shared:
“Prepare your fields for rain, for I am coming!” Amen.
"I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy..." Joel 2:28
'The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts..." Haggai 2:9
"The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.".Isaiah 40:5

This is the prophecy that was given to our congregation over four weeks in February.
“Just Believe”
“Have Faith”
“Stand Firm”
“Because Everything you know is about to Change”
Remember last year the Lord said that "Everything that you know is about to change," and you've probably been wondering in light of the change: "What is God going to do?"
First of all, He created this nation, not man. He made it a refuge for believers from the world of the Beast. He also put His Name on this nation, not man. And He will defend that Name. The nation, like the children of
I AMthe God who empowers them.
I Am the God that will show great and mighty things unto an ungodly people that I wish to deliver.
They have bought into falsehood, into pride and arrogance and greed. And now it
shall flee from them because they will not get what they desire. They will only get the power of God in the midst of them.
My eyes are upon the children that call unto Me, that seek My face.
I AM with you.
Do not turn away.
Do not let the troubles of the time bother you, because they tell you that I Am
