Olympia, Washington

A group of intercessors in Redding California were praying, and God spoke to them about Olympia, Washington. Here's what came from that.

“I AM RESTORING THE GRID”

I was sharing with Holy Spirit recently on a drive into Olympia, Washington, to help a friend and to be at a ministry meeting with another friend … and Holy Spirit began to share with me some things about the times and seasons.

 

As a bit of background – over the last several years many awesome men and women of God within the institutional, mainstream denominational churches, often – and suddenly – found themselves no longer part of the organizations that they had been ministering in for many years.

 

For some it was a voluntary move – they just knew it was time to move on to something, for others Abba had to get them across the bridge and then burn it down behind them to get them where He wanted – OFF THE GRID.

 

And so for many years now they have worked in obscurity, enjoyed being the Church instead of going to church, and have listened to Abba as He began to reveal hidden things for the days ahead.

 

Like Elijah some felt they were the only ones, but in reality, He has hidden away thousands of such individuals around the world… hidden for such a time and season as is about to come upon us.

In the natural, our nation’s power grid serves us well, unless there is a significant or unnatural load placed on it, or parts of it are impacted by events, and then it is literally lights out.

 

In a similar vein, our spiritual power grid has served us well over the decades, but it has become stressed and weak in many areas and any significant spiritual issue or attack could cause it to crash isolating pockets of believers around the nation in spiritual dimness – and in some areas, darkness.

 

Today, Holy Spirit showed me that one of the reasons Abba has taken so many “off the grid” is that He needed to restore and upgrade many key sections and transformer in the old system and could only do it when they were off line.

 

Today I heard Abba clearly say

 

“I AM RESTORING THE POWER GRID”

 

So be prepared and ready to be plugged back into His power system, be ready to take on a significant power shift, and to ensure that His power gets to those who need it…

Spokane Portal Moved, Resurrection Outpouring To Begin In Seattle

[Editor’s note: this is not a normal word for the region, but this is not a normal season we’re in, either. I see this as either two words, or a tag-team word, from Jeff Jansen ]

Friday May 16th, 2014 I was attending a conference where Jeff Jansen and David Hogan were speaking together. Jeff was speaking about the last time he was at this particular place in Kent, Wa called the Transformation Center. He said the Lord had showed him a portal that was over Spokane, Wa which was the cause of much of the John G Lake ministries miracles and healings that have taken place in that region over the years. Jeff said this was a little over a year ago. Then the Lord moved the portal west and it currently sits over the Seattle area. The Lord said that there is something new coming and will be kindled in the Emerald City (Seattle). Jeff called it a revival of sorts.

This coming thing of God is unlike anything that has ever been done on the earth before. While Jeff Jansen was explaining this vision the Lord gave him. I was pulled up in the spirit in an instance and was overlooking the region. I asked the Lord what will become of the Olympia area that I reside in. Then I saw it.

It was an ignition of something. Very similar to that when you watch cardboard beginning to burn. The black line of converted material creeping across the cardboard until a certain point when it erupts with a great fervor. What I saw was that the interstates would act as carriers. I saw an expansion go north and south along the I-5 corridor. This continued clear down into southern California. The Freeways and roads acted like veins in the body pumping life sustaining substance to the much needed areas. I was hovering high above the Olympia area. I could see wall of fire surrounding Olympia very similar to that which started in Seattle. Upon a closer look I could see this wall of fire was a multitude of chariots of fire. In the midst of downtown Olympia was a large whirlwind. This will be at the disposal of those that believe, chariots of fire.

I could hear Jeff now start to speak of what the Lord is doing now. He said this region will experience a Resurrection Revival. I chuckled as I heard this thinking we’ve never had one of these so not sure it can be called a revival but okay I’ll go with it. With the moving of the portal from Spokane to Seattle and the resurrection movement coming this confirms so much for many people. the Resurrection of the Dead will be the new movement of God. Not that resurrections haven’t taken place before, this time it will be so prevalent that it will remove the grey area where agnostics/ atheists like to reside when they say “I don’t know if there is a God or not”. The Signs, Wonders and Miracles will be so plentiful the agnostic grey area will disappear and force people to choose. They will have to choose the kingdom of Light or the kingdom of Darkness. This will be the beginning of the great harvest and millions will run into the kingdom of God.

So get ready and press in its going to be a wild ride. Don't forget to have fun.

From Healing the NW

Assorted Northwest Prophecies

I ran into an online gathering recently, where a group of prophetic folks were prophesying blind over the various regions. ("Blind": They were prophesying without knowing what region they were prophesying to until later.) This happened without my noticing it, and at the same time that God was speaking to me to look to the "no name" prophetic voices instead of just the "name brand" prophets. I love it when God's word is fulfilled so quickly.

Here's what they saw as they prophesied over the Pacific Northwest as a region.

• You shall be called "White as snow". You will get a new name "White as snow".
• Beloved, I am going to give you a new heart. Your love for me is strong and your zeal for my name is great. Yet there are many amongst you who do not know me and there are many amongst you who have let go, who have dropped their desire for me (Picture of a hand holding the mooring rope of a boat, which just opens its fingers and drops the rope). My heart yearns for them. I love them too much to let them wander off into the abyss. Bring them back to the fold. I am going to give you a new love for the lost. Wash their feet, heal their wounds, offer comfort to the lost and food to the hungry. Your love for the lost will extend beyond your boundaries.
• It has looked like a mess. like God has forgotten..or did not anwser prayer..but the Lord has been putting things in God's order..it was stirred up and looked bad..but there is healing in the stirred up waters. That is when God is working the most to put things in order..to bring healing to the land.. Don't look at what you see..look through spiritual eyes and see my healing taking place and putting things in my order.
• The voice of influence reaching those in high places. Transformation from earthly minded limits to Holy Spirit empowered potential.

The group also prophesied over Portland, Oregon as well. This also was blind:

• Hear my voice says the Lord..I am calling out to you..It is a time to awaken..a time to wake up and rise up...a time to hear me calling out to you. I am saying Awaken and hear my voice.! Behold I stand at the door and knock and if ...any man hears me and opens the door ..I will come in and sup with him.! 
• It is time to take a step of faith and estbalish the new wells of my salvation. The Lord is pleased that you have opened the wells that were once covered over (you worked hard at this) - but these waters are now "still". HE will direct you to the new wells - in fact, you won't have to labour over it - tap the surface and the "fizzy" water will spring forth.
•  Genesis...wow! You are birthing. So much promise and hope. A place of much faith! You have many leaders coming forth to lay great foundations. Very apostolic in nature. God has called you to go where others have not gone and he has given your area many promises. I keep hearing patriarchs. We ...know that Abraham went forth without question, Isaac was the promised son that was birthed from faith after years of waiting... There have been some Ishmaels that have been come forth that attempted to hinder god's progress, but this will not stop the blessings of god. Though they will need to be dealt. This will come through repentance. You have also wrestled with god just as Jacob has. You know your identity now. You know who you are and what god desires for this area. There has also been a season of Joseph... The church turned against it's own. Those that were called of god were locked away and hidden. Now the king is calling you forth. You will be needed greatly in this hour as you will have the answers to the famines. God is unlocking the strategies and giving your area wisdom in the days ahead.

Also spoken (again, blind) to some places within Portland, which I am interpreting as part of the heart of God for Portland:

• There will be a shift in the spiritual atmosphere, a spiritual rain and tongues of fire. Renewing the churches.
• Religious control, huge potential - the tools for great and powerful blessing are all there but stifled by a Religious spirit. One majoy dominating religious 'authority'. Once this is broken you will receive an outpouring of God's endless love, healing, miraculous signs.
  It's not something you are aware of. You've accepted the practices for so long that it seems normal, usual. There is a pocket of people who are starting to see with spiritual discernment. Continue to pray for spiritual discernment. Pray for your spiriutual leaders, do not feel bitterness towards them.
• In this new season I will pour out my blessings upon you..You will see the blessing bring new life to your land. Some areas were dead..will come to life, some areas were lacking..will have abundance,...some areas were neglected..w...ill be tended too. In this new season..there will be a blessing upon you and it will bring change to you..the blessing will cause things to be put into my order and change will come.!!
• A land full of buried springs, of lost wells of oil, dripping with your destined inheritance... it will spring forth out of the earth again to cause justice to reign once more in the land...I will rain down my blessing, and console you, O lost and weary land, once blessed with plenty, bewildered by the lack of peace in the land, watch as once again I will be your provider, and listen, and as you hear the lion roar once again from zion, and watch, as rivers of living water flood the land once more....all my promises are waiting to be revealled.... be still and know that I am I am..
• The church has a call for influence on the political and social realms to deliver communities from wrong mindsets, policies and leaders that do not follow Christ. Small things can have global impact when anointed and directed by God. Do not be afraid little flock, the son is arising with healing and deliverance for the people, keep calling forth that which is to come; the Kingdom of heaven on earth. Matthew, the taxman turned disciple, changed from an earthly economy to a heavenly one.
  This book begins with the roots of Jewish heritage down through the generations. It ends with the commission to disciple all nations to the end of the age. Re-open the ancient wells. Bring the past mantles into the present.
  We proclaim transition – into a new day for the church in this area, supernatural economy, a change of favour towards God’s people.  Mission and influence extended to other nations.

They also spoke to Longview, WA (across the Columbia River from Porland, OR), again blind:

• You will speak truth to many. I am calling you to speak truth and cause things to change all around you. As you speak truth you will cause the atmosphere to change..you will cause circumstances to change and things will happen. You will send conviction to many hearts that will repent and come to me. Speak truth and do not back down from it. Your truth will cause many things to happen for my Kingdom..like bringing in many souls, which is my joy.!! Speak truth and fill my Kingdom.!!
• The Christian heritage of saints gone before is not buried, prayers of past generations are still active, the stand up and fight in the name of the Lord because what God has done can be done again.  At the same time remember that revival is not about repeats as in Elisha doubling the Elijah mantle, but that there are new untried foods for the body of Christ, beware of those who say God does not do anything new. God has a recipe, a blend of the former anointings appearing in new clothes, part of the same Holy Spirit. He comes for a new generation, what has work for the old times, is not the perfect will of God or his strategy for now.

They also spoke to the Tumwater/Olympia, Washington area, again blind:

• You have been going through trials and tribulations but know you are birthing in my will says the Lord. The trials and tribulations will make you stronger and more dependent upon me says the Lord. I am is with you and bringing you through. I will make you to shine again.
• Coming out of the place of where you came from,you are not in bondage anymore. God is giving you gold, silver, jewels.blessed are you going out to the promises of God. God has a land flowing with milk and honey for you,no more giants in the land. For the Lord your God is with you.

Prophetic Word over Northwest

It was the Spring of 1999. The Lord called me to come up to Washington. I had never been here before and came on a Holy Spirit adventure.

While on a boat out in the sound I saw a picture in the heavenlies: the Lord showed me the whole North West as a Gateway into the US. As I was watching there appeared a giant amphitheater. There were many angels, huge gigantic angels over this region. It was clear also there were demonic principalities there as well. There had been a big battle, but there was a lull in the fighting.

While on the boat the wind picked up and started blowing extremely hard. The crew came outside and asked everyone to go in, but they completely ignored me. So through the prompting of the Holy Spirit I stayed in the front of the boat with a friend of mine. The wind blew harder and harder. We had to wrap our legs through the railings to not get blown over. I felt the rage of the enemy in the wind. After about 10 minutes I heard the Lord say, “Now!” At that moment I shouted, “Be Still!” The wind immediately died.

Then God said to blow the shofar. I began to blow. The first was the sound for attention. Then the blow for individual repentance, then for community repentance and mourning followed by the great blast over and over again declaring the coming of the King. God then said for me to declare that the Gates to be open that the presence of God was welcomed and needed to usher in Revival to not just the NW but also for the whole USA. You could see the angels getting brighter and stronger while the demonic raged. The battle, which had been in a lull, resumed to open warfare once again. I then could see two huge golden gates begin to crack open.

On that same trip, I was sent to Olympia. I had some radical encounters with God here that have altered my life forever. Also while here I went to the capital and stood out front and prophesied the Gates of Revival and Heaven to be open in the North West for the Glory of God to come in so as to set our nation on fire. In addition we did some open warfare against the occult and declared the plans of the enemy to be made public and a call of the righteous to rise up.

December 2009. I had a very interesting dream. I dreamed that I went to Olympia as a field trip with one of our Fire and Fragrance schools. We were standing in front of the capital, but there was a new wall built around the perimeter. There were new Iron Gates also put up. Standing at the gate were security guards in black carrying Uzi type machine guns. I did not recognize it as the capital at first because also on the rotunda a corporate bank logo had been embossed. We tried several times to go into the property, but every time we were threatened. Finally, we began to just worship and pray outside of the gates. I was so sad because it seems the capital has been bought and access was walled off to those on the outside.

God said to me to lie down in front of the gate, the fountain was behind me. I laid on my face completely flat. Then the Lord said to repeat three times, yelling, “Revival, Revival, Revival”. As I did this I could see into the bedrock of the earth and could see ancient streams of revival beginning to climb through the cracks. I realized that there is a river of revival deep in the earth of the area and a new Fountain was going to burst forth from the ground. (I believe there will be a sign of this in the natural somewhere of bursting water from the ground.) Then I felt that the field trip was over and we all got on a bus to go to the airport back to Hawaii.

I feel that those who have access and influence inside your capital need to proclaim once again from the inside, righteousness and revival. I sense it will be difficult for new people to get inside, but those who already have access can pass the new gates. There is a war going on for the Seat of power in Olympia, don't think walls and gates of men will stop the deep rivers and wells of Revival in that land, they go back further than the buildings, God's plans will come to pass for the Pacific North West.

The Spirit is About to Move in Olympia

Here’s an account of something that the Spirit led myself and a brother I was close to about 10 years ago. We (Kermit and I) were simply headed down to the Y.M.C.A. to get in a workout and some time in the steam room where we shared, and prayed...we jokingly called “The almost holy place” as naked men and a steam room seemed a little odd yet the Spirit came, at times in a powerful way. We got down to the Y and were informed they were closed to the public as it was their end of the summer cleaning and remodeling week, so we walked out wondering what to do.

As soon as we got outside I felt the Presence of the Spirit and said to Kermit. “I think the Lord wants us to go somewhere and pray.” We got in my van and I felt led (and told Kermit) that we should go out to Priest Point Park. a park on Puget Sound here in Olympia that had originally been settled (the land) and developed by a group of Catholic Priests (The site was claimed as St. Joseph’s of New Market and was led by Father Pascal Ricard. Father Ricard and three other priests cleared the land, planted a large garden, built a chapel and operated a school for Indian boys.) We got to the park and I felt led to drive to an observation point that had a majestic view overlooking Budd Inlet. This point, however, had originally been fortified with about 6 or 7 8-10 foot long cannons that guarded the harbor against potential invasion (British...Russians) during Washington’s territorial times.

We went out on the point (It was nighttime you could see the whole downtown) and prayed for leading and the Spirit impressed me to pray against specific things as revealed and I did. Kermit however prayed quite differently weeping and beseeching God for the people in Olympia..(He had come down to the Y early and was led by the Spirit to walk the streets of Olympia and pray before I arrived). And then we were done

Next week we headed back down to the Y for our regular workout and steam, thinking what had happened was VERY powerful but was over, when we were again informed that the Y was closed due to a board member meeting, open to the public but the facilities were closed. As we left the second time (beginning to sense God doing something) both Kermit and I were aware of the Spirit and we got in my van again and prayerfully began driving. We drove up to the State Capitol Building(s) and felt led to get out of the van and walk while we prayed. We walked down the capitol rotunda, down the grounds and circled back up through the city on Capital Way, praying as we walked and returned to the van. Back inside we could see down over the city of Olympia and Kermit pointed to the Port of Olympia docks (which we could see from our high vantage point) where city government and shipping is located. “I think we’re supposed to go there to pray” he said, so we drove down there. After we arrived at the very end of the port docks we again prayed for leading and prayed as the Spirit impressed us, and then once again, we knew we were done.

Believe it or not the next week we headed back down to once again, simply resume our workout rendezvous and had failed to notice the sign that said “End of summer all staff meeting Y closed” and to seemingly further complicate things this time we had my youngest daughter Jennifer with us as she was going to swim while we worked out. A young man came forward (from the staff gathered behind the front counter) and said “I’m the lifeguard, I’ll watch her while she swims as I’m going back to college next week and don’t have to attend this meeting...to which I said O.K. and she went with him.

THIS time we were quite aware of the Spirit and we got in Kermit’s car this time as he said he believed he knew where we were to go. We drove on and he drove up Mottman Hill to the Thurston County courthouse grounds. We got out of the car and I followed him to another point that overlooked Olympia from another side of the city and we sat on a bench looking out (beautiful view) over the harbor and Capitol Lake.

“Look at there.” Kermit said as he pointed to Priest Point Park, where we prayed the 1st time. “That’s where we prayed the 1st time. The park observation point was the seat of territorial authority” Look over there, as he pointed to the Capitol grounds, (2nd place we prayed) “that is the seat of State authority. “Look down there, as he pointed to the Port docks (3rd place we prayed) that is the seat of City authority. “And” he said “we are on the Thurston County courthouse grounds, the seat of County authority. As he said those words the Spirit descended on us powerfully and we both prayed out, as led, and then once again, it was over and we drove back to the Y to pick up Jennifer.

I have had few experiences as led and powerful as this I just described but I truly believe Kermit and I were led to “attack” principalities and while the move of the Spirit hasn’t (seemingly) happened yet... I remember Paul ministered in Ephesus for over 2 years before the Spirit moved in a powerful way and this area is very occultishly entrenched. Anyway just wanted to share that with you.

Be Blessed

Gatekeeping in my Neighborhood

Several years ago, my family was in a tough way and needed to find a home to rent. We made two lists: things we needed in a home, and things we wanted in a home. Through a series of miracles, financial and otherwise, we actually purchased a house that had everything on both lists. We were elated.

But the elation was short-lived. Our home had everything that we knew to ask for, but there were some things we didn’t know to ask for. In our first week living there, I learned of three drug dealers on our block. I watched drug deals go down at the front door of the house across the street while my kids played in my yard. They knew about that dealer, and they told me about the other two dealers on the block, and which houses they lived in.

This was absolutely not OK with me. I talked to the authorities, and they told me about the standards of evidence that they needed in order to intervene. I talked to other neighbors, and they shook their heads and “tsk tsk’d”.

Then I talked to God. More precisely, I whined at God. “God, why is this going on? This isn’t right! Make it stop!”

It seemed as if he let me vent for a while, and when I paused to catch my breath, He interrupted. “So what are you going to do about it, Son?” Hunh? That stopped my whining immediately. Once my head stopped spinning, I asked more intelligently, “Uh… what can I do?”

He gave me some prayer strategies: some specific ways to address the situation in prayer, rather than through legal means, social means, or whining. The specific strategies aren’t important except that they involved me obeying Him, and they involved me making some particular declarations over my neighborhood. Throughout the process, God used the metaphor of a gatekeeper with me: the one who decides who can come in and who cannot.

So I obeyed: I prayed the things He said to pray for, the way He said to pray it. It was odd stuff, so I did it in the middle of the night and the wee hours of the morning: I didn’t want someone calling the cops on me! Fundamentally, the decree to the "gates" was: "Welcome in the Holy Spirit, and the human spirits of the people who live here, and their legitimate guests. Keep out every other spirit, human or demonic."

Suffice it to say: it worked. Within 30 days, the three dealers were gone. The one across the street sold the house to a family with a daughter the same age as my daughter. The other two just picked up and left, leaving empty houses. All three houses were soon remodeled.

I was stunned. I don’t think I’ve ever seen prayer answered in more detail than I did in this adventure: first our house, then the removal of the drug dealers. Life was good!

Then my next door neighbor invited a woman to live with him. She brought guests: two silicon implants for him, two full-blooded wolves for herself, and a host of demonic co-habitants. Life was no longer good.

I called every government agency I could think of that might have some authority with wolves: federal, state, and local agents told me time and time again: “No sir, wolves don’t belong in a residential neighborhood, but yes sir, she does have the necessary permits for them. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

I ignored the time that they lunged from the back of her Toyota pickup and nearly ate me. But when they tried to eat my daughter (they didn’t succeed, but just barely – she was unscathed), I confronted the neighbor: politely, gently, because he was a wimpy little guy and I didn’t want to intimidate him. But the wimpy little guy got big and snarly when I suggested that the wolves shouldn’t live there: he cussed me up one side and down the other in his rage, and vowed in no uncertain terms that they were not leaving, not today, not ever!

Hokay! That’s not going to work!

So I tried prayer. Again, I whined at God; again, He interrupted, but more quickly this time. “What are you going to do about it?” Again my slack-jawed “Hunh?” Then He went on, “You’re my representative in that neighborhood. It’s up to you. What’s your decision? Do they stay or do they go?”??

That floored me. I didn’t have a theology to deal with that kind of a question, but I didn’t hesitate. The wolves wanted to eat my daughter, and God was saying that it was up to me? “Heck no! They cannot stay. They have to go!” and I knew I was speaking with the authority of a judge announcing a decree.

That very weekend, they moved out. No explanation. The guy that cussed me out and shouted that they were staying, took their wolf-house down himself, packed it into the Toyota truck and moved it away. We never saw the wolves again, or their owner with the implants, except once, and the Police arrived en masse with drawn weapons to make sure that didn’t happen again. No explanation for that either.

Since then, I’ve tried to exercise this authority in other ways, and when I felt that I was following God’s leading rather than my own, I have found that things often unnaturally change.

I have also found that I need to increase my skill in wielding this power: I watched a porn shop close after I made some decrees, only to be followed by another in its place, and that one was more firmly rooted (though it has a “going out of business!” sign on it regularly). A pagan worship center was closed, only to open up again a couple of blocks away.

These are curious stories, and true ones, but what’s the purpose?

I have developed a couple of guiding principles from these events, and the others that surrounded them (this was an interesting season in my life!):

1) God delegates authority to His representatives in an area. (My “area” of influence was only a couple of blocks; others’ territory may be smaller or larger.)

2) He takes that delegated authority very seriously. When He gives authority, He means it.

I guess there’s a third principle:

3) I probably ought to exercise the authority that I’ve been given, and I probably ought to exercise it for good purpose.

I know I’m nothing special. May I suggest these principles for the life of the church in this season? May I suggest these principles for you?

The Pilgrimgram comes from an elder Pilgrim about the thing we call "church." Seldom politically correct, this is what I hear God saying to and among His Church today. Feel free to share it with others.

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

This is Personal

by Jan Rouse

In 2003, the day after Easter, as I was driving towards Yelm, the presence of the Holy Spirit filled my car. I was so excited about His presence, it took me a little while to settle down.

I heard the Holy Spirit say this, "What I am doing, I am not doing because you have prayed perfectly right. What I am doing, I am not doing because you have prayed long enough. I heard the enemy boast that the Northwest is his. This is personal. I am going to pour out the light of MY Glory over the Northwest and the darkness will flee from before My presence. It isn't later it's now." He kept saying this over and over.
  

I heard Him say, "I am going to plunder the treasuries of darkness here, and raise up and use the least of the least to shame the enemy. I am going to use for My Glory, those about whom others have said, they are beyond all hope. I saw a picture of people who were bound in dark dungeons underground coming up into the light. He said, it isn't later, it's now.

He said, " The wars in the heavenlies are not fought over wealth or land; they are fought over the souls of men. People are the prize! All those who call on My name will be saved. I have stirred Myself up as a man of war, and with my own right arm and My upraised right hand I will bring vengeance against the enemy."
  

I saw a picture of a homeless man encountering the risen Christ on a street and his life being radically change in an instant and then passionately sharing Christ with others. I heard the Holy Spirit say, "I am even going to heal the water and the land. It isn't later it's now."

I asked, "Lord do you mean “now” now or Your now? He said, "When you see something happen with your natural eyes you say the time is "now." I say the time is now when I declare it's now."

Jan Rouse, 2003

Olympia: Summer’s Outreaches & Recent Testimonies

In the Spirit of Revelation 19:10, "...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Here are three testimonies on a single subject. I suggest that we learn a lesson.

As you may know these ministry outreaches have changed the lives of many. Daniel 12:3 “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”

I know of no other way to reach the amount of people that we are able to reach in a day than by joining with a community event where great numbers of people will be gathered. Isaiah 65 says the Lord is found by those who are not even looking for Him. We have found this to be true.

A good example is the family that came to Lakefair not knowing we would be there.

Seeing the sign for a Free Encouraging Word stopped. The first one after receiving her word left encouraged and tearful. She returned with a sister, then an aunt, then the mother, who brought grandma, then the niece and her daughter. As a result of the words given to this large family storms were survived over the next 3 years because of what the “Ladies in the Park” told them. Not only that but one of them was completely set free from irrational fears and her 3 year old daughter was healed from something the doctors did not know how to.

Then there is the young man who woke up with the thought that he was going to have a spiritual experience this day. He didn't know where to find it. So he headed to Lakefair thinking this is where he would find it. He comes to the Free Encouraging Words tent where the team not only gave him a Word from the Lord but led him to a saving knowledge of Jesus. He left a grateful man.

Thank you for your past support and looking forward to the many souls Jesus wants to save through us this summer outreach season.

The Prophetic Word That Saved My Life!

In the Spirit of Revelation 19:10, "...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Here are three testimonies on a single subject. I suggest that we learn a lesson.

A testimony of a prophetic word to Pastor Rick Thale,
given by James Berkley of the Elijah Commission, August 26, 1999.

By Pastor Rick Thale

On August 26, 1999 James Berkley came to our Church to release God’s gifts of prophecy, teaching, and worship. My wife, Kate, and I received a prophetic word from James that went as follows:

"The enemy is going to attack you not for the first time but the second time. Do not worry, the Lord God will protect you and raise you up even before the attack can get started. This will take place in 3 months time."

There were more words that night but this one in particular caught my eye, so I watched for it. I had no idea what to expect. I did know from scripture that I did not have to fear. The Bible example came to me of Jesus prophesying to Peter in John 21:18 saying,

"Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish."

The key word for Peter here is "When you are old". When the Sanhedrin imprisoned Peter threatening his life, he had a prophetic word from Jesus which gave him great courage. "When you are old", Peter was not yet old! Paul tells us in 1 Tim 1:18 to "wage a good warfare", "according to the prophecies previously made concerning us". Therefore, when Peter realized he was not yet "old" as Jesus had prophesied, he had faith and confidence to overcome! Hallelujah!

Back to my story. I was sitting in my bedroom on a Tuesday night at around 11:30PM. I was in the midst of some strife over an issue in my life. All of a sudden, I felt as if an arrow had been shot into the back of my thrown. The next day, as I had done so many times before, I went to work not feeling well. I thought I would just work off the sickness and move on with life. Well it did not turn out that way this time! I was worse than ever. I then took off work.

I was going to go deer hunting with a good friend and if I missed work I thought I would not be able to go hunting so off I went. Well on Thursday I went hunting but man was I ever miserable. I was useless! I sat in the truck uncomfortable and horribly sick. I knew I had to push my way through this because I had such a full schedule for the weekend.

I had scheduled a 3-day Motorcycle class for the weekend which cost $50.00 several months earlier. To miss the class would force me have to reschedule and that would be months later. My schedule was too jammed to do that. I attended the whole thing! I attended the Friday night book session. Saturday, I barely survived the riding portion.

The trial was not over here because I had to do a Church Service on Saturday night. Boy, did my dear friends let me know how horrible I looked! Many prayed for me but to no avail. I was already in a full-blown attack. Sunday came early and off I went to complete the skills and testing, I finished at around 3:00 on Sunday.

Going home, I went straight to bed! I had a fever and was breathing very shallow. I had to put pillows under me to sit up all night to be able to breath. The next morning, on November 20, I told my wife I had better go to the Doctor’s office. By this time, things were progressively worsening. By this time, I was breathing 165 breaths per minute. When I arrived at the doctors office, they sent me straight to the emergency room at Black Hills Medical Center in Olympia. Man did the doctors and nurses flew into action. I was admitted right into ICU. I had an oxygen mask on and the doctors were desperately trying to figure out what was wrong with me.

Wednesday morning at 3:35AM, things worsened. My wife, Kate, who was at my bedside, could see I was going away. She hit the button for help as I took her hand. I looked her in the eyes and said, "Remember the word from James Berkley? We are walking through it right now" I then passed into a coma.

For days, I was in a deep coma. The doctors could not figure out what was going on. Then they found I had a blood staph infection. They told my wife it was at a high enough level to end my life. On top of that, they found I had full-blown pneumonia in both lungs, both upper and lower. The oxygen deprivation to my brain had now been eleven hours. The doctors prognosis to my wife was I would not make it, and if I did there would be months and months of restoration to motor skills, learning to talk and walk and such. The doctors had move quickly so they started by suctioning my lungs. Later the doctors told me only 5% of all who go through this procedures make it through. On top of that, my blood hemoglobin level was at 17. I was told people die at 14.

On the fourth day of the coma the doctors finally discovered I was having a ketoacidosous attack. They have never seen one this bad. The doctors were administering five times the insulin that the average person would receive. The also had me on the two strongest antibiotics known to man at the highest dosages possible.

On the fifth day, I started to come out of the coma. However, I do not remember anything until day seven.

On day eight, the physical specialist came in to see. She was shocked! Calling her boss in because I could walk, talk and sit up!

On day nine the head of the hospital Dr. Black paid me a visit. These were His words, "Boy you got a microscopic virus, but it hit you like an 18 wheeler".

On day eleven, the doctors sent me home with an oxygen bottle. I only needed that for two weeks! During my first doctor’s appointment after the incident, my doctor told me "it was a miracle". He could not explain what happened or why I survived. He went on to tell me one of the issues of why I was hospitalized was enough to kill me having two would guarantee my demise. Having four meant there was no hope. Not to mention I was supposed to stay in the hospital for two months, and go through physical therapy for another three months. I don't know about you but I think God did plenty to stop the attack before it could get started. The nurses in the doctors office afterwards told us that my doctor was pulling his hair out with concern because He could not figure out what was wrong or how to help, he was helpless.

Two weeks after my discharge from the hospital, I went in for a hemoglobin exam. I was told not to be too excited because it would take at least 2 months for my levels to normal out to between 12 or 13. Another shock treatment for my doctor. The test came back at 5.5. In unbelief, He re-tested. This time it was at 6!

Well there it is! This truly is God’s hand and not man’s. What a testimony! I hope you can see what I was trying to tell you.

God Bless,

The Lakeland Revival is the Northwest's "Cookie"

Have you ever offered a child a cookie for behaving as you want them to? A friend of mine was pregnant, and she had passed the baby's "due date" by several days. She wanted the baby born, so she offered him a cookie. She held up a cookie, and declared to the baby, "If you come out, you can have this cookie!"

Recently, I was reflecting on the Lakeland revival. We've prayed for years for revival in the Northwest, and there have been many prophetic words about revival starting in the Northwest and spreading to the nations. "So why is the revival in the opposite corner, in Florida, and not here in the Northwest?"

God brought that story back to my mind. It seemed like He was saying, "Lakeland is the Northwest's cookie." And as He spoke that, I knew that He was saying, "If you come out, you can have this revival!" If we come out of our comfort zone, if we get outside of the box, if we risk, He will pour out revival on our region as well.

(I understood that He wanted revival in the Northwest – more than I did, in fact. (I am not saying that Lakeland was second choice; only that He's in favor of revival here.)

A word for USA - April 1999

Last year the Lord showed Robert Holmes a number of things on the world scene, and in the United States that would come to pass. These were both a warning of impending judgement and a call to prayer. Several aspects of the word delivered about the United States in November last year have come to pass. Click here to read a review of these things.

The following update was received during a three day retreat to Bethungra State Reserve NSW Australia, April 25-27 1999. And further updated during a trip to Canberra on August 14 1999. Following is an account of the prophecy. My own observations have been placed in square brackets.

USA general

"In the days of Babylon, when her walls stood wide and her leaders stood tall, her defences were strong and her campaigns victorious, Alexander the Great came to defeat her. In the same way, my Alexander will stand in the very midst of the United States of America".

[NOTE: Alexander the Great was the only military commander to actually breach the gates of Babylon. The invasion most noted by Christians is that of Gyrus and Darius the Mede. Later in history, after Babylon had declined somewhat, Alexander breached the gates and stood in the midst of the courtyard declaring himself king. He spent considerable time and effort trying to restore Babylon to its former glory.]

Specific Words

Oregon State

In a vision I was standing on one side of a river, I looked over and felt as though I was looking into Portland. I saw massive trees - miles of temperate forest. The Lord said, "These are likened unto the trees of the Trans- Euphrates, the kings forest used by Nehemiah to rebuild the gates and temple in Jerusalem" (Neh 2:8). I also saw the river in flood with mud and massive trees smashing into bridges [perhaps indicating the results of an eruption upstream].

Portland, OR

"There was a healthy revival many years ago, but the seeds of old glory have faded. The past manna has withered and she is left undone. "Destruction" is slated for parts of her. I saw a vision of wild horses running very fast through the city. [The healthy revival probably refers to the work of healing evangelists in the past]. He also said, "The land is a seed bed for revival - many shall go out from there".

Washington State

I saw Mt Rainer and Mt St Helens together and the Lord said, “These mountains speak to the people”. [In researching them I realized they are part of the cascade Mountain range and they are both volcanoes. One of them is termed 'silent' and the other 'active' and as we know St Helen's blew it's top in 1980]. As we flew into the area I heard the distinct sound of explosion. [I believe on of the mountains of the cascades will erupt, but not as the seismologists predict].

Seattle, WA

"The seat closest to Vancouver is cold and snowing. She is like a satellite, disconnected, orbiting yet pivotal to communications. Seattle shall remain a point of connection for my people." I saw a vision of hills of light poking through valleys of darkness. A very great darkness covered the land like a shroud but there were high points of victory. "Then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday" (Isa 58:10).

Olympia, WA

There are five high places in the city, on one is a church whose doors are about to close. She has taken head wounds. Yes indeed there is a lot of witchcraft activity in the area and new stores opening, but Daniel 4:9 is true if you will receive it.

Centralia, WA [including Lewis County]

"Here is a city of pride, a place that thinks she is the middle of everything yet she is not." I looked and saw good foundations, men who came in the name of Christ. [The founder, G. Washington was the son of a slave and a good Christian - Baptist]. The original newspaper heralded the truth for a season. I saw men without moustaches. "But showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments" (Exod 20:6). Let the contentions cease between the cities.

Naselle [and five towns], WA

The place across the river [Columbia] - Ezekiel 47 is relevant for you. There shall be in this region both places of salt (marshes) and places of freshness (river); places of harvest and places of judgement. Even as the fresh water from the throne of God touches the water in the dead sea - Naselle has been a place of barrenness. The Lord will come and touch you, and you shall team with life.

September 1999. Robert Holmes, Storm Harvest

The Messy Prophetic Nest

Oh Olympia! The messy prophetic nest. I saw the eagles hovering over the city looking for a place to land and watching. Perhaps you are the prophetic nest and a school of the prophets needs to get started in your area to sort it all out.

Chuck, Dutch & Cindy in the Northwest.

On November 29, 2007, Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce were ministering in Albany Oregon, broken into two portions. The entire message is a prophetic declaration over the Northwest. Stacey Campbell joins in on the second half.

Some key elements:

* God is breaking curses off, like tumbleweeds.

* 2008 is a year of gates: opening new things.

* God is releasing mantles and anointings for miracles in the Northwest this year.

* There is a heritage of healing and miracles in the Northwest. These wells are being re-dug.

* Healers will be sent from the Northwest all around the world.

* Legions of angels are being released into the Northwest.

Fast Strategies for the New Year

For months the Lord has been speaking to me about fasting, and then last week I felt God drop the Words “40 day fast” in my lap. It has become clear that this message is not just for me. I strongly feel that God is showing me an urgent need for a corporate 40 day fast for our region, involving any in the body of Christ who might be interested, to enable us to step into EVERYTHING that God has planned. That does not mean that everyone is called to fast or that everyone is called to fast food, although some may feel led to do so.

I hear the Lord calling for an awakening, and calling us together. I hear Him calling for ALERTNESS in this hour. It is dangerous to be asleep at this time. I have seen ALARMS going off in the spirit over our region preparing us so we will not be surprised by the all out attack of the enemy.

The Lord has shown me a massive demonic army being gathered in the spirit realm. Scenes from The Lord of the Rings best describe what I’ve seen. It seems that the enemy realizes before we do that we are on the verge of seeing Heaven’s plans becoming reality. So, his plan is to discourage us just before this region sees God’s plans taking place. He also plans to take more of a foothold in the area than ever before. But it is not just the enemy who is preparing for war.

God intends for the city of Olympia and the surrounding region to be a GATEWAY to HEARING the VOICE OF GOD for our nation. I believe that God plans for Olympia to become a place where HEAVEN’S SOUND is heard. A couple of years ago God gave me a vision of the PUGET SOUND shaped like a horn, pointing into the ear of Olympia. I saw that this region is to hear the sound of God to an extreme degree. God speaks in many creative ways, and I believe that He wants to birth an amazing, creative movement to impart HIS VOICE to this region and this nation.

Different regions across our land hold keys to spiritual doorways into different aspects of the spirit realm. Hollywood is a gateway (movies good or bad), Nashville is a gateway (music good or bad), Kansas City is a gateway (24 hr houses of prayer). Each area seems to have a different flavor or touch of God’s Spirit, and a different calling that is meant to be a key to our entire nation and ultimately the World, for the coming revival to reach its full potential. I believe that Olympia is called to be a gateway of God’s presence, through which God wants to reveal a part of Himself to the nation.

Instead, this region has been infiltrated with New Age and Witchcraft. This has caused confusion and the voice of the enemy to be heard on the streets instead of God. I believe we have been seeing a deaf and dumb Stronghold (Stronghold as opposed to just a spirit) manifest. A spiritual Stronghold means an entrenched belief pattern, in a person, region or even nation where either truth or lies dwell in safety, strongly defended. Jesus said of the Boy with epilepsy, also called Deaf and Dumb spirit in other passages, “this kind comes out only by Prayer and Fasting.” I believe the specific strongholds over our region will only loose their grip on our land by corporate prayer and fasting. I believe a 40 day fast represents a breaking of old cycles and a coming into the promises given to us long ago.

Many of us have just come from long seasons in the wilderness, or we are battle weary and need a time of recouping in the presence of God. I see many of us coming full circle. Many have laid aside the promises God gave long ago thinking maybe those promises weren’t for them, or just not for now.

As we are getting closer and closer to the end of days and the culmination of world harvest the enemy is getting desperate. It always gets worse before it gets better.

Well the Lord is saying, “IT IS FOR NOW, RIGHT NOW and I want you to fight. But you need to fight in ME and My STRENGTH, not in the flesh.” It is time for a season of circumcising our hearts, to come in tune with God and make sure our antennas are truly connected to what HE is saying and not what our flesh is saying. God is getting ready to have us step into our long awaited promises, but not without a fight and not without us re-checking our hearts to make sure they belong completely to Him.

So I am proposing a 40 day corporate fast specifically for breakthrough in our lives, and for the Olympia and the Puget Sound region, beginning January 1st and ending February 9th (last day of Revival Town's When Heaven Invades Earth Conference being held in Olympia).
