Northwest Prayer Assignment, 2015

Report for April/May of 2015

By Rachel Hickson and her team.

  

INTRODUCTION

In November 2014, as Rachel was preaching at Destiny Life Center, the Holy Spirit spoke to her and reminded her of her mandate to pray “from Washington to Washington.”  For several years Rachel and various team members have gathered in Washington DC to pray, but now we feel there is a shift in the spirit and it is time to stir the Northwest and Washington State. 

Again and again Rachel has been impacted by the number of people who were stirred to pray for a spiritual awakening in the Northwest as a result of the Northwest Intercessors conference held in Portland during the 1990’s. Many times people have said those times of prayer changed their life. So at the end of last year Rachel felt God challenge her to call the remnant of prayer warriors who love the Northwest and begin to pray specifically for this area of America again. Ahead of the election year we need to cry out to God and see an awakening of the government of Jesus in the Northwest!

The purpose of our Prayer Strike was threefold:

1. To reestablish right lines of government and order in the state.
2. To unlock the pioneer spirit of the Northwest: we visited areas where the origins of the spiritual life of the Northwest were forged, where commerce was born, and the birthplace of the significant cities of the Northwest region.
3. To awaken the right spiritual atmosphere over the Northwest.

The scripture God quickened to Rachel was from II Samuel 11:1 “In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.”

OUTLINE OF PRAYER DAYS

On April 25, 2015, the Strike began as Rachel and Helen and several members of Rainier Hills Christian Center visited a monument erected to commemorate a place of injustice during the Indian War fought in 1855 at Connell’s Prairie, 6 miles west of Buckley. Rachel represented the British army officers as Gordon’s family has a strong history of military service in the British army.  They prayed to cleanse the land of bloodshed and injustice, and declared a new covenant of God over this area.  It was discovered that after this conflict, many of the Native American tribes moved to Alki Point and thus founded the city of Seattle, where we were planning to pray later in the week.

Monday, April 27, a team of 14 seasoned intercessors gathered in Bellevue to strategize and plan the Prayer Strike over the Northwest region. We prayed and took communion together and we then discussed and identified the key areas that should be our prayer focus for this time.  We dedicated oil, salt and wine as spiritual tools that we would use in our prayer journey to establish cleansing, represent the anointing of God and God’s covenant blood. 

We felt God saying that He wanted to release a new sound in the region, and realized that the word “Bell” kept coming up.  Our first meeting was in BELLvue, our second day in BELLingham and our third day in BELLtown.  As we prayed in Spokane on the fourth day, we were gathered around the Clock/BELL tower and it began to strike the chimes for 11 AM.  On our last day, as we prayed at the monument erected to commemorate the birthplace of Seattle, one of the women listed had the surname BELL.  Many times as we prayed throughout the week, we heard bells or chimes ringing, almost as if God was endorsing our prayer.

Some of the key senses that we felt as a team were that Washington State is at a pivotal point in history. This area of the Northwest has been called to pioneer and be the Northwest cornerstone for the nation. We prayed that there would be a turnaround beginning in the west and moving to the east.  We prayed - let them pioneer to bring the glory and establishment of God rather than the liberal ways. Many prophetic words spoken over the last two decades have spoken of God’s glory falling in the Northwest and then moving to the east of our nation.  Chuck Pierce prophesied that this is a whirlwind state. JH heard the words “Appoint and Disappoint” and shared that God is looking for whistle blowers who will pay the price.  RZ heard the words “tuning fork”, bringing a new sound of resonance with God, and “pruning” - a cutting back to bring a more healthy harvest.

On Tuesday, April 28, the team met at Light of the World Prayer Center in Bellingham.  We drove to the Peace Arch and had an amazing time of prayer disconnecting the old covenants of bloodshed. We began declaring the covenant of God over this strategic border. We particularly prayed for the border to be protected from every malicious spirit wanting to cause harm to America. We secured the boundaries in the spirit as we stood in the gates.  JH had a stone taken from the land of the Lummi Tribe and as he held it, we anointed it with oil, wine and corn (Hosea 2:22), prayed a blessing and placed it as a representative of the true cornerstone, Jesus, to establish a new covenant in that region.  

Then we split into two teams: one team went to the Fairhaven district, where prostitution and human trafficking has been a long-standing stronghold.  We prayed to break those chains.  We also prayed at the location of a home held by the Masonic Lodge, which was reportedly being sold to an Islamic organization.  We prayed that those ungodly contracts would be broken and that land be used for God’s purposes.

A second team went up to the Sehome tower over the WWU campus and prayed for revival to come to this generation of students.  Each time we prayed to release a new sound, a train nearby would blow its whistle!  AMEN!

We concluded the day at the Light of the World Center in prayer.  HA declared, in Arabic, a blessing over the US and Israel in a powerful demonstration with the Israeli flag and the US flag.   Many prophetic words were released and an atmosphere of great joy was present.

On Wednesday, April 29, the team gathered in Belltown and walked up to the Gates Foundation.  On our way, we had a significant prayer time at the Memorial Stadium, where in 1951 and 1962 Billy Graham held great crusades.  Rachel saw the names of some servicemen who had been lost in war written on the wall, and just saw them representing the names of many who would get saved in this generation.   NC led us to a Board Room at the Gates Foundation and we were privileged to hear about the work being done to feed and bring healthcare to needy nations and people groups.  Then, once again, we split up into smaller groups to strike various locations in the city.

One group went to the Columbia Tower observatory, 73 stories up, which is the highest place in the city.  From there we were able to see many strategic communities and landmarks and pray for revival, declare the covenant of God, and call in God’s heart for the city. 

Another team went to the waterfront and prayed for the cleansing of the waters, removal of the atmosphere of suicide and depression from downtown Seattle and for the godly influence of Seattle to the nations from the city.  They also went up to the top of the Space Needle.   Rachel had had a word as she prayed earlier in the day that God was leading us back to the same point but at a different level of influence and authority; that although we may feel we are going round and round in circles we are shifting and changing our geography. As we walked up the Space needle suddenly this word had a perfect illustration, as each time we walked around the entrance of the Space Needle we came back to the same point and same view of the city but at a higher elevation and the perspective changed.  God spoke to us that even though it seems we have come around to the same place as we have prayed before, we need to have a new perspective because we are at a higher level.

A third team went to the City Hall and prayed at the Mayor’s office, even as the city council was meeting.

We concluded the day with a divine appointment at St Luke’s Episcopal Church in Ballard.   This is where the charismatic movement really began with Dennis Bennett in the 1960’s.  We met with their current priest, Canon Brit Olson, who had just 2 months earlier taken this parish in a “Big Yes” response to God who asked her to move there.  She shared how she has been prayer walking the community, how desperate the need is to help restore this sanctuary and how they feed over 1,000 meals every month to the homeless.  Brit took us to the old historic chapel and as we sang in the Spirit, we soaked in God’s presence there.  We were able to bless Brit with some cash and know that this was a divine appointment from God.

On Thursday, April 30, Rachel, Helen and Glenda flew to Spokane to prayer strike on the east side of the state.  Rachel shared the prophetic and biblical significance of the east gate.  Pastors Barry and Kay Hill met us with several other pastors from the area.  We walked the university district, where there are now 6 universities all sharing this area.  Even the flags were declaring to “think big” and so we declared all over that campus that God would make Himself known to the students.  We had a particularly powerful prayer time in a gazebo that had blades on top of it that whirled in the wind.  As we prayed for the wind of God, the wind in the natural began to blow.

We then went to pray at the birthplace of Spokane, also the site of the 1974 World’s Fair.    As we prayed, the clock tower began to strike the hour of 11 AM with loud chimes. The bells rang for 12 minutes, as least three different bells in the city each after one another and the time was not on the hour – it was 11:16 when the last bell started chiming! Rachel shared how it may seem we are at the same location as we have prayed before, but God has elevated us to a new position for better perspective.   We then walked to the City Hall, where we were given opportunity to pray in the council chambers for the government and governing officials of the city.    Helen shared a word she had prepared regarding the 6 cities of refuge in Israel and how the original meaning of each city’s name had significance for Spokane as a city of refuge. 

Thursday evening we concluded the day with a powerful service at Victory Faith Fellowship with Pastors Craig and Moni Lotze.  The worship was powerful and there was electricity in the air as Rachel shared a message of giving a “Big Yes” to God and “Bold No” to those things that are not giving Him glory.  Many people came forward for prayer and it was a glorious time in the presence of God.  We know that sovereign Kingdom connections were made in this strategic time.

Friday, May 1, we flew back to Seattle and stopped at the Birthplace of Seattle monument on Alki Beach.  There were 5 women on our team and, significantly, 5 women listed on this monument; one of them was called Sarah BELL. Again the new sound of bells was ringing!

Then a team of 9 women met on the Interstate 90 bridge.  This is the only highway that stretches from the west coast to the east coast, so it is a significant roadway.  We prayed for God’s glory to go from Washington, to Washington DC to Jerusalem!    The team concluded at the Jewish synagogue on Mercer Island, calling God’s people back to salvation and to the knowledge of their heritage.  We broke any assignments to attack the Jewish people and blessed Israel and those of Jewish heritage. 

The glorious conclusion of the day was our first Northwest Regional Prayer Meeting held at Sonrise Christian Center in Everett.  There was a full house and you could sense the excitement as intercessors came together from all over the region to pray.   It was like a reunion as many greeted each other after long absences.  Rachel again preached a powerful message, calling the intercessors back to a life of prayer (you can listen to the message here).  The altars were completely filled with men and women crying out to God, recommitting themselves to pray.

TESTIMONIES

Heard from some inside sources (key believer who works at the border) that a few days after we prayed they discovered and shut down an Isis training cell in Canada just eight miles from the border.

So that is an overview of the time of prayer we had for the Northwest part of this amazing nation called America. During this time the UK elections were held and everyone expected these elections to have no clear outcome and lead to a time of compromised government for Britain. But God did a miracle and against all the odds we have a clear leader and secure government. All the media called it a miracle TURNAROUND – I believe that as we enter 2016 we need to see a turnaround for the American people too.

Let it be, God – establish your Kingdom!

An Israel Generation

The Lord says He’s seeking for a Jacob generation that He might turn the Jacob generation into the “inheriting ones”. “And even now, there’s a transition”, says God, “in My Body and those who have sought to seek and find Me are going to discover that I’m the One Who seeks to find them. And in the place of wrestling, there’s a breakthrough.” For God says, “I’m bringing forth My ‘inheriting one.’ I’m bringing forth My Israel. I’m bringing forth My Prince with God. There was a time and there was a season when I sought for those who would be a Jacob generation, but hear the Word of the Lord! Hear the Word of the Lord! Hear the Word of the Lord! This is the day for Me to lay hold of you! This is not the day for you to lay hold of Me! This is the day for Me to lay hold of you – and in Me laying hold of you, it’s time for you to endure! It’s time for you to hold on, and it’s in that place of wrestling that there’s going to come an inheritance – there’s going to come an inheritance!”

The Lord says, “In this house there’s a shift in the Spirit. Don’t seek the thing that was before. Seek that which is beyond that which was before. Seek that which is the increase. Seek that which is the ‘more’. For this is not a time to break away. This is a time to stand fast and say, ‘Our God has come! He has laid hold of us and we will not let go of that which He has laid hold of!’”

The Lord put a Scripture on my heart for you as a house, …it’s out of Isaiah, Chapter 32.
“Behold a King will reign righteously, and princes will rule justly. Each will be like a refuge from the wind and a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry country, like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land. Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, and the ears of those who hear will listen. The mind of the hasty will discern truth, and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly. No longer will the fool be called noble, or the rogue be spoken of as generous. For a fool speaks nonsense, and his heart inclines toward wickedness: to practice ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord. To keep the hungry person unsatisfied and to withhold drink from the thirsty. As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; he devises wicked schemes to destroy the afflicted with slander, even though the needy one speaks what is right. But the noble man devises noble plans; and by noble plans he stands.”

Hear the Word of the Lord! Hear the Word of the Lord! Hear the Word of the Lord!

For God says “In My Body, and even in this place, I’ve been bringing forth a shift – a shift in the land. And the land is that which I call My covenant place. It’s not your contract place – it’s My covenant place! And in My covenant place, I have sought for those who would seek Me. But I’ve done a shift now and declared that now I’m seeking to find those who have sought Me, that they might find that I’m the One that seeks them. But the place that I seek them in is a place of endurance. The place that I seek them in is a place of strength. It’s a place of abiding. It’s a place of remaining. It’s not a place of hungering, it’s a place of being satisfied and of seeking to satisfy the hungy.”

And the Lord says, “In this season, I’m going to reveal who the princes are, for the princes are those who can be a refuge from the wind because these are the ones who have endured the wind. And the princes are the ones who can be a shelter from the storm, for these are the ones who have stood fast through every storm. And the princes can be the ones who are springs of water in a dry country because when they stood in a dry country, they didn’t leave the land, but they found water deep. And the princes are those who are the shade of a rock in a parched land because in the heat, they did not melt and they did not fade away. Now is the time when I will raise up the princes!”

And the Lord says, “There’s a mark on this house. There’s a mark upon you, as a people. Don’t look to the side! Don’t look to the right, to the left! Don’t look behind – don’t look before to discover the mark! Look within the heart!” For God says, “The mark is the mark of those who have wrestled with Me, and those who have broken through that find that I’m the One that laid hold of them! And now will come a time of strategy.

Watch and see! That means, be awake and expect it! Be awake and expect it! Be awake and expect it! But don’t expect it to come from Me, apart from My princes, for My princes are those who have wrestled with Me and are ready for the inheritance! And this Word is not just for this place – this is for My Body!” says God, “but you are in the place of discovering what I am doing in this hour.” For the Lord says, “Inheritance is for princes! Inheritance is of fathers! Inheritance is of the Father’s Name! And it’s those who stand fast! Those who stand in the place of My blessing, who release the blessing!”

Get ready, Pastor Cesar, For the Lord says, “A mantle is coming! A mantle is falling! Be ready, people, for when a mantle falls, it’s time to get under! It’s time to come under. When a mantle falls, it’s time to lift up your head, but lift up your head in the place where the mantle resides. For a mantle does not come in multiple places but a mantle comes, to rest upon headship and to come upon a body. And there’s a new mantle that’s coming upon this body,” says the Lord, ”for there’s a new mantle that’s coming upon this man and this woman. There’s a mantle that’s going to cause you to see with greater clarity. Don’t be confused, for the mantle that’s coming is not a mantle because a man is wrestling because he’s hungry. It’s because a man is wrestling because I’m hungry!” And God says, “I’m hungry to find such a people and I’ve laid hold of you! I’ve laid hold of you! And in the midst of adversity, you’ve remained in the place of adversity! In the midst of things not working out quite right, you’ve remained right! So the Lord says a mantle is coming – now is not the time to stretch out from under it, for this mantle will come.”

And the Lord says, “As the mantle comes, vision will come and there will be noble plans, there’ll be noble schemes, noble strategies. But noble plans are not plans for unto one’s self, but noble plans are plans that reach beyond one’s self.” And the Lord says, “This body, this church, this congregation is going to reach farther than you’ve ever reached before because some things, not only have been settled, but some things are being settled – by Me!” says God. “And now the mantle will come! Get ready! Get ready! Get ready! For even in the next nine months – even as nine is the number of My Spirit – both of power and of life; both of charisma and of fruit. And even as nine is the number of pregnancy, so shall this thing be birthed. And there will be a mantle that comes upon. Watch and see, for in nine months, there will come forth a new liberty, and a new clarity. But within these nine months trust the place of pregnancy! Trust the place of headship! Trust the place of family! Trust the womb that will birth what I’m bringing forth. For what I’m bringing forth will not be disconnected from the continuity of that which I have desired, for it’s of inheritance!” says God. “It’s of inheritance! You will see that princes will rule for they will be a refuge from the wind, for these are those who have withstood the wind. They will be a shelter from the storm, for these are those who have stood fast through every storm. They will be water in a dry country, because these are those who have found water in a dry place! They will be shade from a parched land, for these are those who have not wilted in the day and in the heat.”

And God says, “This is the time – this is the time! Come under My mantle of grace!”

An ‘Israel’ Generation – (Audio Version)

I feel that this word is huge for a shift concerning the Body of Christ and that is why I felt compelled to share it in my blog today. We have been the Jacob generation that seeks God, but now God wants to lay hold of us as the ‘Israel’ generation of His name. These are the inheriting ones. It is key to know that a mantle of strategy and noble plans is coming on His inheriting Church. These are the ones who will rule in His character, nature, way, power, and authority. These are the ones who will rule in His name. They will not live constantly seeking to find the blessing of God, for they will know that in Christ they are the blessing of God. These princes will be a refuge from the wind, for these are those who have withstood the wind. They will be a shelter from the storm, for these are those who have stood fast through every storm. They will be water in a dry country, because these are those who have found water in a dry place! They will be shade from a parched land, for these are those who have not wilted in the day and in the heat. The plans and strategies of this ‘Israel’ generation will teach the children of the nations to stand in the midst of the winds of adversity and to become a strength by which generations can stand. They will disciple nations to endure the storms and to become shelters for their own children from every storm. They will show peoples how to find the water of life in the dry places and how to release water for the planting of the trees of generations. They will mentor families to find God as the One who empowers them in the heat of every day and those families will empower others also in God in the midst of the heat of every day. The rivers of the past have been the rivers of a Jacob generation. They have been rivers of blessings. But God is releasing now the rivers of planting. These are the rivers that make us become a blessing. These are the deep waters of inheritance that raise up every man and woman in the inheritance of Christ’s name. If you have an ear to hear, ‘Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church!’

Blessings to you all,

Ted J. Hanson, from his blog.

The Spiritual Readings Tent!

In the Spirit of Revelation 19:10, "...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

As an intern with Campus Christian Fellowship on Western Washington University's campus, one of my assignments was to do some sort of public outreach event on campus (in addition to our more ongoing outreach) at some point during the year. I had the urge to do...something you don't see every day! I got the idea from a campus we send one of our missions trip teams to each spring break (California State Stanislaus). I'd heard the stories and figured we had to do it on our campus some time. So what did we do?

We got a big tent, made walls with bed sheets and put it out in Red Square (the busiest most central part of campus) with a big sign across the front of it that said "FREE SPIRITUAL READINGS". The idea is that people are hungry for something spiritual...anything! So they stop by... God gave us a great day of sunshine in the 70's and the tent was full (with two visitors at a time) from 10am-3pm!

When people stopped by, we'd ask them if they were a "spiritual person" to get an idea of where they were at. We'd then explain that (to one person's great disappointment!) we weren't going to read their palms or use a crystal ball. But, we would say that we believe God is real, knows them personally, and can speak to us! Some would be surprised at this. Then we would say we'd start by praying for them. I was surprised that nobody had a problem with that! We would then ask God to show us things about their lives to encourage them and to show His love to them. As we prayed for people, God would always give us things to encourage them with and reveal to us things about their lives. 1 Cor. 14:24-25 says that if all prophesy and an unbeliever enters, the secrets of his heart will be disclosed and he will fall on his face and worship God and declare that God is really among you! And we saw this happen...

We prayed for Grant and Shelby together in a 2-for-1 spiritual reading session. They said they believed in a creator, but were not involved in a specific faith and had never really encountered God. God gave us images and words for Grant about a difficult but rewarding journey he was on to Oregon, that he was a person very respected by others and that he had a gift of leadership in his future career. Surprised, he told us that he was planning to move to Oregon after college to start a business! We then prayed for Shelby. God showed us about her gentle heart, and her love for music (turns out she played at least 5 instruments!), and how she likes to dance. She was also shocked at the accurate words. Grant then asked, "So, wait...how did you say you know this? Can anyone hear from God like that?" We told him that God speaks to all that know Him! I then felt the need to tell Grant and Shelby that God can also heal people. "Wait, like, broken leg healed?" he said. I then shared with him some testimonies of healings I've seen, including God growing out short legs. Grant was fairly excited at this point to tell us that his leg was about 1/4" shorter than the other and asked if we'd pray for him. Of course we did!

We had him sit around the fountain and hold out his legs. Sure enough, one was barely shorter than the other. I prayed for him and then asked him what was happening. He said he wasn't sure if he was making it up or not, but his leg was tingling! We didn't tell him that he may feel anything beforehand. I then had him hold both of his legs out again and they were completely even! Praise God for loving Grant and Shelby so much to encounter them like this!

Overall, it was a packed day and the grace of God was so tangible. We had SEVEN people accept or recommit their lives to Christ! Thank you JESUS!!

Jim & Shaaron Coleman heard good things about a recent Outreach at Western, so they asked Jonathan Taft to write up a testimony about it.

James Goll prophesies over the Northwest.

In early 2009, James Goll was at a prophetic conference in Bellingham, WA. In that conference, he had a major prophetic word for the northwest region.

A friend sent me the audio file from that session of the conference (broken into 4 parts for easier sharing across the Internet), but I didn't feel the freedom to publish the word at the time.

Last night, I had a dream in which it seemed God was saying it's now time to process the files for easier listening, and to share the word. The dream was actually quite detailed. Since this website doesn't allow posting of audio-only files, I've processed the four files into one and added Jim's picture to make it a video file, which posts easily.

Here is that prophetic word for our region.

This is a video clip (with a static image of the speaker, James Goll). If you have difficulty playing the file, click on the post title (James Goll prophesies over the Northwest) to watch it online. Note: this is a long message: just over an hour and a half.

A Northwest Perspective on Florida's Healing Revival

It's interesting the amount of interest in the Northwest about the healing revival going on in Florida. It is by far the most searched subject on this website, and on blog that I manage! Personally, I believe that the phenomenon that they are experiencing is only a foretaste of what the church in the Northwest - should we press into the promise to the point of capturing it - will walk in and export around the nation.

So it's with great interest that I've been watching how revival is progressing in Washington. Since "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy," testimonies of limited revival now work also as prophecy of greater revival to come. I'm aware of several places around the Northwest where revival fires are breaking out: Vancouver, Moses Lake, Olympia, Marysville, Bellingham, Blaine. It's very exciting!

So in the interest of testifying of the revival is breaking out in the Northwest, in the spirit of prophecy, I offer a testimony from the revival in Marysville, Washington:

Day 33 - Of Healing Revival! The Glory Presence Increases... Healings, Miracles, Signs & Wonders continue... We are going on with it nightly! Check these healings out! 6/15/08 - Merrily approached the alter at service only to receive an impartation to take back to her home church - while on her way up, she received a healing in both of her knees - she can now bend her knees without hurting! 6/15/08 - As a small group prayed during service, one of the youth called out a word of knowledge in reference to a spine being healed - Rebecca spoke up as being the person needing that healing in her back - she felt something moving around in her back as well as heard some cracking - the others praying also felt something moving around in Rebecca's back - she is now healed! 6/15/08 - Jake had trouble with his right knee - during service he said unto God, "I quit" - upon his surrender, his knee was completely healed. 6/14/08 - Ginny came to the revival service with strained muscles and spasms in her back and hips - her condition was several months old - Timmothy Sherman called out a word of knowledge in reference to a 4th vertabra & a right hip healing - simply by responding to the voice of God, Ginny was healed on her way to the front of the church, even before prayer was administered - Ginny no longer needs her old pain medication. 6/12/08 - Lady claims to have been healed from kidney stones in her home during the revival! 6/10/08 - Family needing gas money received prayer.

Tri Cities, Wa. : A Three Fold Cord Is Not Easily Broken

Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, I will knit you together in love. The feuds and the divisions I will now wash away. For I am sending to you a deluge. A flood of My purpose and presence. It will wipe out the structures that men have built revealing the foundations and corner stones that I have established. Programs and privileges will be taken away and Mine will established. Upon this new foundation the weight of harvest will stand and feet of many will come into My Kingdom says the Lord. This new foundation will withstand the wind and the rain and will stand.

I will remove the dividing lines of jealousy that have kept My will at bay. I will erase the subtle divisions that with-hold My latter rain. I will open the window's Heaven on you in these last days. But first remove the pointing of the finger and the pride, sit not in the place of ungodly or scornful and you will be My tree by the rivers of living water. I will use the leaves of your unity for the healing of the nations. I will use the sap of your strength to raise up a chosen generation. I will use the shade of My glory to raise up the desolation. I will use the fruit form this tree for reconciliation and restoration.

You will be a refuge in the future economic storms. When others are without you will be safe within. You will have a supply, the store houses will be full. There will be room at the Inn for those downcast and in sin. You will be the Father's house for the prodigal and the wayward. The misfit and the misunderstood. I will cause you to cast the net on the other side and take in the ones that others have forgotten. I will give you the pearls of great price. I will give you treasures out of darkness.

You will be crossroads of political interest. Those in high places shall pass through your borders leaving a blessing. I will fight for you. I will cause even the legislation and laws to reflect My glory and will. I will upset seats of authority that have resisted Me and replace them with those after Mine own heart. David will sit in Saul's place in this hour. I will create a revival fault line from you to Yakima. From Yakima to Seattle. From Seattle Bellingham. There will be river of righteousness flowing form one place to the other. Many that have left will find themselves drawn back to these regions in this season of harvest.

In this place of three's will I establish My authority. My Godhead will be seen in you. You will be a reflection pool of My glory. You will be a gate Beautiful where the lame and the halt are healed. Many will come to you for their deliverance. You will be a river Jordan where the church collides with the past, present and future. I will even give you the nations and regions where the wealth of the wicked are stored. In this hour Tri-Cities I will restore. Gird yourselves up My son, the harvest is white and there's much more work to be done. Arise and shine, for the glory of the Lord has come.
