The last weekend of October, James Goll was speaking in Portland.
In the midst of that, he declared this prophetic word: the restoration of apostles & prophets who do not keep it to themselves but equip the saints to do the work of ministry.
We've heard this before. James' prophecy adds another prophetic target for intercessors, adds another measure of God's resource to accomplish what God is declaring.

Word of the Lord For 2016: The Year the Tide Turns
Cindy Jacobs, Red Oak, TX
Since 1999, the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders has met annually before the New Year to pray and seek the Lord for a word. In 2011, we added a group of emerging prophetic leaders that we now consider fully seasoned members of our round-table; their input is included into this word of the Lord.
The ACPE has the conviction that we are to function as an Acts 13:1-3 group. This passage notes that it was the Holy Spirit releasing a prophetic word as a consensus of the prophets, as opposed to the exclusive utterance of any one prophet. In the same way, even though this is a compilation of the prophecies that we each brought to the roundtable meeting, it was the general consensus of the ACPE members that the Holy Spirit was speaking the following prophetic words to us.
While we are calling this a prophecy for 2016, it should be noted that the ACPE believes the Lord speaks more in seasons, rather than our calendar years. In the past few years, we have observed that the trend of some of the prophetic words is continuing for several years and intensifying.
It is also important to note that intercession can diminish the severity of some of the words that speak of potential judgment–and, in some cases, may avert the judgment all together (see Genesis 18:17-32; Amos 7:1-6). In any case, all prophecies should be bathed in intercession, both the ones that speak of harvest and blessing, as well as the ones with the admonitions attached to them.
As prophets, it is always wise to go back and look at the words we have given in the past. We did this for the years 2011-13 and noted that the Lord continues to speak some of the trends given in those years. Let us reiterate, the timing of prophetic words should generally be understood more as a season than a calendar year. The words given are not fate or karma but can be changed subject to how God's people respond.
One additional disclaimer–our meetings for 2016 took place November 16-18, 2015, and some of the events have already transpired.
Weather Patterns and Revival
There is going to be flooding in various parts of the United States, but in the midst of the tragedies, there will be a visitation of God to the affected regions. The Lord particularly spoke to us about flooding that would take place along the Mississippi River basin.
California is going to be significantly touched by the Spirit of the Lord as well. Even as the Jesus Movement was birthed there, this is also happening again. (At the time, we were not aware of the 1,000 year rainfall on Death Valley, CA! The desert is going to bloom like a rose!) The weather pattern, El Nino, is a sign that Christ, the anointed one, is birthing new moves of God in this state. This will even affect the political structures.
The Body of Christ will come into alignment with God's design for gifts to be released through His people. We will see the Church step into her fullness as the roles of prophet, priest, and king are manifested in our nations.
U.S. Politics
2016 is a tipping point year, and the Lord gave us a word that we were given another chance to recover the lost greatness of the nation.
The Lord strongly spoke to us that it was up to the Church taking our responsibility to pray and vote righteously that will determine the outcome. The Church must awaken, pray, and act (see 2 Chronicles 7:14).
We sought the Lord about the upcoming U.S. elections, and the Lord did not speak to us about who would be the next president. He did indicate that He was preparing a patriot, but we would have to pray earnestly.
The Lord also spoke that a conservative revolt would shake up the elections and cause even the months leading up to the elections to be tumultuous. Also, several words came forward about more surprising shake ups in the next three to six months (remember this was given in mid-November), including disfavor falling on one liberal leader.
There was a prophetic concern expressed that we have not done our job to steward the earth and have let others attach ungodly agendas to what should have been our job as creationists.
Justice issues are coming to the forefront, and the candidates that will fully please the Lord will speak to the marriage of righteousness and justice (see Psalm 89:14). A particular concern for the poor and human rights issues was emphasized (see Galatians 2:10). Judicial reform is on God's docket.
Racism and Riots
Hidden agendas will be revealed in those who are inflaming rioting, and it will shock the United States. Satan has a plan to stir up old pains to such a degree that it could cause a disruption at voting sites. An admonition to pray for peace before the elections is important to note.
Abortion is rooted in racism, and there will be even greater advances toward the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in the coming days. God has a case that, once presented in the courts, will make it extremely difficult to get an abortion in the nation.
OPEC
Several words were given about the future dissolution of OPEC, which the Lord would allow to shake up the Middle East. There is a division coming between oil-producing nations; past cooperation is going to deteriorate and, in some cases, unravel. For the first time, we had words about the oil reserves being opened up in North America, which would shift the global scene significantly.
New Alliances Against Terrorism in Europe
New alliances will form between such nations as France, Germany, and England. Italy will come into this alliance at one point as they stand together against terrorism. All of Britain must stand guard, as should Germany–there is danger on the horizon from radicalized individuals.
The churches must pray; they are soft targets and need to move to be vigilant in protection.
Protecting the World Against War
For several years, we have been warned that satan wants to inflame a regional war into a world war. ISIS has become the new threat to the world and has declared itself to be at war with all the apostate nations. We must stand against this taking place on the scale that they desire. The world wars have always been about global domination, and this is no different–only the tactics are not engaged on traditional battle fronts as they were in past times.
We were given Psalm 37–where God deals with evildoers–in regards to ISIS, that the Lord will allow them to move for a season but will suddenly stop them. They will even penetrate Saudi Arabia in a significant way.
The Chinese will come on the scene as a great force against Islam in the coming days.
A great harvest of souls will take place in the Middle East as the Lord reveals His love and nature to those who are Muslims (see Joel 3:13, Luke 10:2). God loves the nations of the Middle East.
Appeal to Heaven
The prayer movements around the globe will stand up and make an "appeal to Heaven" to see God release both a reformation and revival that will produce awakening transformation. Many fasts will be called leading up to national elections.
There was a prophecy given about great political shifts taking place across Latin America, and we are already seeing that happen. New economic policies will be implemented that will start to break the back of poverty off the Spanish-speaking nations on a broad scale.
Flood of Violence
A flood of violence has been released across the earth. The enemy wants to stir up any unhealed places in people's hearts.
The riots are not over in the United States. We must pray for the United States, so there will not be mass riots that disrupt the elections.
Racism must be dealt with on all levels. The Church has been given the authority and the responsibility from the Lord to heal the nation and release the supernatural ministry of reconciliation.
There is a major clash of kingdoms taking place and a battle over whose throne will rule–God's Kingdom or the spirit of the anti-Christ. This clashing of kingdoms will work for good in that it will create a new unity in the Body of Christ on levels not previously seen. A sweet koinonia will develop between Church leaders and those in many other parts of society, as a result of the enemy's onslaught, such as took place in the book of Esther.
In the midst of a very difficult season for many and new levels of spiritual battle and oppression, the good news is that, as we claim Isaiah 59:19b, "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him," the tide will turn against the enemies' plans, and a divine reversal will take place.
This is, in fact, one of the major reasons that the theme for this year is 2016: The Year the Tide Turns!
Kingdom Alignments
This is a season when there will be global Kingdom connections made; leaders from across the world will begin to function together behind the scenes. (This is not to be taken as a subversive, radicalized movement.)
"Daniels and Josephs" who have been preparing for years will step into places of favor and visibility in all seven mountains (spheres of society, for those unfamiliar with this terminology).
The reformation of nations is well on its way, and new ideas on how to establish Biblical economics on a national scale will be implemented. Africa will be a leader in this.
We also received the word Kingdom Church, as old independent spirits are put aside and new alliances are formed as one to stand for Kingdom purposes against ungodly agendas.
There will be connections between apostles and prophets that will result in prophetic words not only being released, but also implemented to see their fulfillments.
Major media outlets and secular businesses will call on prophets for insight and direction, instead of calling on mediums and psychics. A new level of visibility is coming to God's leaders that will influence the secular fields.
Renaissance
A renaissance is coming that will bring great change and cause nations to come alive! There is a hope revival where those who have been greatly discouraged will find a new grace and purpose for their lives. Prophetic Kingdom changers will bring about a renaissance, not only to the arts, but also to innovation and the way Believers function in society. Great visibility will come, and great glory will be given to God as this happens.
Wisdom
The Body of Christ will begin to manifest new levels of supernatural wisdom. Business leaders will be recognized for their wisdom and will be sought after–even by the world–as the "Issachars;" they will come into visible prominence as leaders in nations (see 1 Chronicles 12:32).
The Transference of Wealth and the Prophets
Dramatic Kingdom connections between the prophets and business leaders were reported, leading us to say that this is a new season. Prosperity will come with these alliances.
These connections will impact the formation of alternative economic paradigms that will both influence world markets and systems, as well as form new ones. For many years, we have prophesied about a coming "Lion's Market"–an alternative economic structure formed within the Body of Christ.
As has been the trend for the past several years, volatility will continue to be the new norm.
Concerning the Church, a shift in understanding of the connection between tithes and offerings and blessing will cause poverty to be broken off many Believers (see Malachi 3:8-10). Pastors will become bold and unashamed to teach on the subject of finances, and both the people and the Church will be blessed.
Prophetic Evangelists
We have been prophesying about the raising up of "Philip-type" evangelists who will go to areas where no one else wants to venture. There was a specific admonition about not being afraid to minister to the Muslims (see 2 Timothy 1:7).
There was a call for evangelists to go as missionaries to the refugees. Acts of compassion will be linked with the unashamed preaching of the Gospel. The Lord called these evangelists ambassadors of Kingdom kindness.
The prophetic evangelists are the revivalists of today. Many will be touched through street preaching, and those who go out of the Church into the highways and byways will boldly manifest the goodness of God through supernatural signs and wonders. The Heartland of the United States will be affected by this revival moves all along the Mississippi River.
Legacy
There is a legacy awakening as current influential leaders are looking to leave a legacy behind and establish succession. Legacy conferences and teachings will abound as this is a current theme being released by the Holy Spirit.
Reformation unto Transformation
2016 is a hinge year where we are approaching the 500th anniversary of the Great Reformation, beginning in 1517, when Martin Luther nailed the 95 theses in Wittenberg, Germany. What was once a reformation will now be the great transformation.
Angels, Angels, Angels
Whole armies of angels are being released into the earth to see these things prophesied come to pass. Many dreams were given about angelic hosts, and the good news is that angels will be sent to minister to individuals and nations (see Psalm 103:20-21; 1 Corinthians 13:1a; Hebrews 1:7, 14).
Native Americans
The whole group expressed a great excitement about the role of the Native Americans in the upcoming revival. An awakening sound is coming to the First Nations peoples; villages already are seeing revival, and this will continue on an even greater scale. The voice of Native Americans will sound as an awakening bell.
The Blood Moon is a Harvest Moon
The Blood Moons which occurred last year were a sign of a great harvest (see Acts 2:19). Many nations will start seeing tremendous awakenings and visitations from the Lord.
This year, there will be a significant increase in the clashing of kingdoms. California will be a prophetic picture of this clash. Persecution of Christians will continue, but we will see God start to release supernatural interventions. There is, in essence, a "conflict of thrones," as to who will rule in certain mountains or sectors of society. Deeply entrenched politicians who are corrupt have ruled in some of these areas for a long time and will not give up their influence without a fight.
Children
A great move of the Holy Spirit upon children (ages 2-12) began in 2014, but will spread to other nations this year and will grow rapidly in intensity. They will be the "Samuels" of this generation and be very accurate in hearing God's voice.
Spain
Spain will become a focus for Islam. The Islamic spirit that ruled there during the times of the Moors will try to regain control but will be rebuffed.
Japan
A youth movement will arise in Japan. Great awakenings will happen on campuses. This once-hard-ground nation for the Gospel will begin to produce signs and wonders, and young revivalists will appear. In the midst of the economic shakings ahead for Japan, God's power will be evident.
India
India is going to see a great harvest of souls that will continue to increase in coming years.
Europe
The clash of kingdoms will manifest in Europe. The nations of Germany, France, and Scotland will begin to burn with great passion for the Lord. Europe's re-evangelization has begun!
Russia
A move of God among the Orthodox community will become evident. Cities such as Vladivostok will see the apostolic emerge and will affect the rest of the nation. Moscow will see a move of God among the youth, and large gatherings will take place to pray for the nation.
Pacific Rim
These nations will start to develop missions-sending ministries that will impact the rest of the world. The power of God will become evident in the Pacific Rim, like a spiritual tsunami that will begin to break down the strongholds of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam.
Israel
Visitations, visitations, visitations! God is uniting Believers in Messiah from the Jewish and Arabic-speaking communities. This has released a powerful force of unity that is a "firewall" against the tide of terrorism and evil. Even though there is still a violent spirit in the region, this group together has great authority to pray and stop it in its course.
A new wave of those making Aliyah (when Jews from the west immigrate to Israel) will be seen (see Isaiah 11:11-12).
Middle East
Egypt is in a season of mercy where God wants to use this nation to be a voice against terrorism and violence. It is called to be a refuge nation even for those experiencing religious persecution.
The conflict of the different Islamic factions over who is going to rule the Middle East, Sunni or Shia, will sharply increase, and ISIS will become a greater thorn in the side of nations, even such as Saudi Arabia.
The Global Church
The connections across the world of the Global Church will increase and break down the political spirit. The love and unity of the Body of Christ is going to bring a manifestation of God's power to change nations. They will support the "Daniels and Josephs" who are moving into elected offices. This will be seen in a surprising way in Geneva and in the EU.
This connection between the Church and society led us to this quote from Winston Churchill:
One of the signs of a great society is the diligence with which it passes culture from one generation to the next. This culture is the embodiment of everything the people of that society hold dear; its religious faith, its heroes...when one generation no longer esteems its own heritage and fails to pass the torch to its children, it is saying that the very foundation and experiences that make the society is no longer valid. (Never Give In: The Extraordinary Character of Winston Churchill, p. 190)
In the midst of all of this connection between the Church and society, there will be an "agitation of old wineskins" and persecution of leaders who are trying to bring reformation. They will be accused of going "into the world" and abandoning their position in the local church. An admonition that the Church should not participate in this persecution is important to heed.
However, this will not be the predominant view, and denominational churches that have been historically opposed to Christians becoming involved in politics will be given an opportunity from God to make a shift.
Partnerships between born-again Believers in many denominations will develop as the Church truly becomes one. God will "rightly position" His people into strategic places of responsibility, and the church will support them in their societal roles.
This will include some divine interventions in which God will save and cause "game shifts" where people who could not seem to do anything right will seemingly not be able to do anything wrong.
Local Church
Pastors will begin to prioritize based on current events. Rather than planning based upon one local congregation, there will be an understanding that there are issues that the Body of Christ, in general, needs to deal with, and they will teach and train their people accordingly.
One of the key issues that the Lord prophetically spoke to us was that pastors are to be a major voice to deal with racial divides.
In addition, an admonition to be crisis-prepared and find a way to be the redemptive answer to the needs of society was brought by the Lord as an important issue.
Families
The restoration of the family unit was also brought to the forefront. As the Body of Christ matures, so will family relationships. Fathers and mothers will teach their children to hear the voice of God.
Closing Exhortation
Jeremiah 27:18 states, "If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now entreat the Lord of hosts." Prophets do not only pronounce the word of the Lord; they in turn pray the revelatory promise back to the Father in Jesus' name! Let us bring the two hands of prayer and the prophetic together to see the birthing of God's promises in our generation.

Abortion is rooted in racism, and there will be even greater advances toward the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in the coming days. God has a case that, once presented in the courts, will make it extremely difficult to get an abortion in the nation.
OPEC
Several words were given about the future dissolution of OPEC, which the Lord would allow to shake up the Middle East. There is a division coming between oil-producing nations; past cooperation is going to deteriorate and, in some cases, unravel. For the first time, we had words about the oil reserves being opened up in North America, which would shift the global scene significantly.
New Alliances Against Terrorism in Europe
New alliances will form between such nations as France, Germany, and England. Italy will come into this alliance at one point as they stand together against terrorism. All of Britain must stand guard, as should Germany–there is danger on the horizon from radicalized individuals.
The churches must pray; they are soft targets and need to move to be vigilant in protection.
Protecting the World Against War
For several years, we have been warned that satan wants to inflame a regional war into a world war. ISIS has become the new threat to the world and has declared itself to be at war with all the apostate nations. We must stand against this taking place on the scale that they desire. The world wars have always been about global domination, and this is no different–only the tactics are not engaged on traditional battle fronts as they were in past times.
We were given Psalm 37–where God deals with evildoers–in regards to ISIS, that the Lord will allow them to move for a season but will suddenly stop them. They will even penetrate Saudi Arabia in a significant way.
The Chinese will come on the scene as a great force against Islam in the coming days.
A great harvest of souls will take place in the Middle East as the Lord reveals His love and nature to those who are Muslims (see Joel 3:13, Luke 10:2). God loves the nations of the Middle East.
Appeal to Heaven
The prayer movements around the globe will stand up and make an "appeal to Heaven" to see God release both a reformation and revival that will produce awakening transformation. Many fasts will be called leading up to national elections.
There was a prophecy given about great political shifts taking place across Latin America, and we are already seeing that happen. New economic policies will be implemented that will start to break the back of poverty off the Spanish-speaking nations on a broad scale.
Flood of Violence
A flood of violence has been released across the earth. The enemy wants to stir up any unhealed places in people's hearts.
The riots are not over in the United States. We must pray for the United States, so there will not be mass riots that disrupt the elections.
Racism must be dealt with on all levels. The Church has been given the authority and the responsibility from the Lord to heal the nation and release the supernatural ministry of reconciliation.
There is a major clash of kingdoms taking place and a battle over whose throne will rule–God's Kingdom or the spirit of the anti-Christ. This clashing of kingdoms will work for good in that it will create a new unity in the Body of Christ on levels not previously seen.

Pacific Rim
These nations will start to develop missions-sending ministries that will impact the rest of the world. The power of God will become evident in the Pacific Rim, like a spiritual tsunami that will begin to break down the strongholds of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam.
Israel
Visitations, visitations, visitations! God is uniting Believers in Messiah from the Jewish and Arabic-speaking communities. This has released a powerful force of unity that is a "firewall" against the tide of terrorism and evil. Even though there is still a violent spirit in the region, this group together has great authority to pray and stop it in its course.
A new wave of those making Aliyah (when Jews from the west immigrate to Israel) will be seen (see Isaiah 11:11-12).
Middle East
Egypt is in a season of mercy where God wants to use this nation to be a voice against terrorism and violence. It is called to be a refuge nation even for those experiencing religious persecution.
The conflict of the different Islamic factions over who is going to rule the Middle East, Sunni or Shia, will sharply increase, and ISIS will become a greater thorn in the side of nations, even such as Saudi Arabia.
The Global Church
The connections across the world of the Global Church will increase and break down the political spirit. The love and unity of the Body of Christ is going to bring a manifestation of God's power to change nations. They will support the "Daniels and Josephs" who are moving into elected offices. This will be seen in a surprising way in Geneva and in the EU.
This connection between the Church and society led us to this quote from Winston Churchill:
One of the signs of a great society is the diligence with which it passes culture from one generation to the next. This culture is the embodiment of everything the people of that society hold dear; its religious faith, its heroes...when one generation no longer esteems its own heritage and fails to pass the torch to its children, it is saying that the very foundation and experiences that make the society is no longer valid. (Never Give In: The Extraordinary Character of Winston Churchill, p. 190)
In the midst of all of this connection between the Church and society, there will be an "agitation of old wineskins" and persecution of leaders who are trying to bring reformation. They will be accused of going "into the world" and abandoning their position in the local church. An admonition that the Church should not participate in this persecution is important to heed.
However, this will not be the predominant view, and denominational churches that have been historically opposed to Christians becoming involved in politics will be given an opportunity from God to make a shift.
Partnerships between born-again Believers in many denominations will develop as the Church truly becomes one. God will "rightly position" His people into strategic places of responsibility, and the church will support them in their societal roles.
This will include some divine interventions in which God will save and cause "game shifts" where people who could not seem to do anything right will seemingly not be able to do anything wrong.
Local Church
Pastors will begin to prioritize based on current events. Rather than planning based upon one local congregation, there will be an understanding that there are issues that the Body of Christ, in general, needs to deal with, and they will teach and train their people accordingly.
One of the key issues that the Lord prophetically spoke to us was that pastors are to be a major voice to deal with racial divides.
In addition, an admonition to be crisis-prepared and find a way to be the redemptive answer to the needs of society was brought by the Lord as an important issue.
Families
The restoration of the family unit was also brought to the forefront. As the Body of Christ matures, so will family relationships. Fathers and mothers will teach their children to hear the voice of God.
Closing Exhortation
Jeremiah 27:18 states, "If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now entreat the Lord of hosts." Prophets do not only pronounce the word of the Lord; they in turn pray the revelatory promise back to the Father in Jesus' name! Let us bring the two hands of prayer and the prophetic together to see the birthing of God's promises in our generation.

Springing Ahead: I've Already Started.
I
fell asleep almost immediately, and had this dream:
I
was in a church, attending a service.
The
church was very strange, though. It was a composite of many different ones that
I’ve been to.
The
sanctuary looked like the one in Philadelphia
Church just up the street from Loyal
Heights Playground in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle
The
sanctuary furniture was a mix of things from many churches I’ve attended over
the course of several decades. The pews were from another church a mainline
denomination one, where SeaTac
Worship Center
There
were people in every pew. The church was filled, but not full. In almost every
pew, there were empty spaces big enough to seat 2-4 people together.
Every
one was seated, the service was just ending, and the Minister had just
finished...
As
people began to stand and look around, I had an awkward feeling much like you
get when you’re in a room full of people whose faces are familiar, but whom you
don’t really know…a feeling of having to interact with people but not really
knowing what to say.
Then
things changed very quickly, as if I had blinked, or turned my head away for a
moment and things were different when I looked back again. I was still in the
same room, but now it was filled – crowded, in fact. The aisle was filled with
people, some standing, some sitting.
Instead
of being socially distant, everyone was interacting. Some were conversing with
others, some teaching or explaining something to another, some praying with
another, some laying hands on another.
The
aisle, empty before was now crowded folks standing in it. There were many
sitting or lying on the floor as well, overwhelmed by Holy Spirit.
AS
I looked around the room, a saw a number of dead apostles I was familiar with –
James Berkley whose ministry had largely emphasized God turning the hearts of
the fathers to their children and children to their fathers, Elvin Gadney, and
Harlan and Granville Graham. As I looked at each of these people, I thought, “There
So and So. Look, there’s Such and Such,” recognizing each man by name.
But
the faces didn’t match the names. In every case, it was a different person
identified by the apostle’s name and familiarity, even though every one of them
was a least a generation younger, and some two generations younger. These were
the men and women who had been impacted or equipped by those apostles.
Someone
began to sing, and without any worship team, the room filled with adoration to
the King. Those ministering to others didn’t stop when the worship started, but
continued what they were doing. Everyone in room was made (or was being made)
whole.
As
soon as I woke up, I wrote down the dream, and asked what it meant. Some of
what it means we’ve heard before, a lot. So much so that at first I questioned
whether I was really hearing God or the trite echo of “the day of the one man
ministry is over and I’m about to do a new thing” that we’ve heard so often
(both from true prophets and form some who are fairly convincing copies).
Having
made certain I’m hearing what I was, her it is.
It’s
not at all about what God’s about to do. It’s about what he’s already doing.
The
time for the man up front to be the primary minister is finished. The Lords
says, “What I’m doing isn’t in the church walls, the time for one man to be
recognized as the primary minister is finished, and I am giving visions to the
ones who have been overlooked, and strategies to the discounted ones.”
I
will build strong relationships and lifelong friendships between members of my
Body who have been strangers. I will give visions to the ones who were called
blind and strategies to the ones called foolish. I will release inside of you
my heart for people so broadly and so deeply that you will be called Those Who
Love Their Brothers by those who don’t know me.
You
are called the Ones Who Love by those who haven’t met me yet, because you are
loving them even when it is costly to you. You are growing more and more day by
day and week by week in love, wisdom, and power to make the broken whole.
Already
when you are walking in the way, you stop to heal, to liberate to bind up and
to loose.
the
day will come suddenly when those going from one place to another will have to
be careful where they step, because the way if filled people standing in me,
sitting with me, and resting in me.
Multitudes
of bound ones have been set free and a vast people who will know their Father
continue be liberated and will bring wholeness and peace form the Sunshine
Coast to the Siskyou and from the Olympic Coast to the Rockies.
Don’t
weep for the ones I sent out who have died where you are and live where I am. Look,
and see them in those they’ve birthed, those they’ve equipped, and those they’ve
trained. You’ll see their hands multiplied in the children of their love for my
Bride and I, and those sons and daughters will do more, and more freely than
the fathers ever dreamed of doing.
Spontaneous
worship in streets and squares.
Sudden
invasions of freedom in stores and parks.
Floods
of healing on every corner and under every tree.
A
plain illustration of the love of the Father spread abroad in the hearts of
men, bringing peace and wholeness.
Many
will be confused and don’t recognize what I’m doing and some of them will seem
intimidating to you. But don’t be afraid to demonstrate my love. It is more
extravagant and reaches much farther than many know.
Didn’t
I tell you it would be something you haven’t seen before? Don’t be surprised if
it is seems strange! Why are you amazed when I told you it was new, and not
like what you have seen before?
But
you will see me do more than you could ever ask, think, or imagine. I’ve
already started!
Don’t
hesitate.
Don’t
hold back.
Don’t
wait.
Run
to the lonely.
Bind
the broken.
Love
the ugly.
The
false little wind is stopping.
A
great Wind has begun to blow,
pushing
the sea before it!

Five "Hot Pockets" in the Nation
This is a transcribed word of the Lord prophesied at PMI Glory Institute in Chicago, Illinois on February 13, 2011:
I hear the voice of the Lord! I'm telling you, I hear the sound of rain. I'm seeing rain in the desert. I'm seeing rain where it never rained! I'm hearing the sound of Heaven. I'm hearing the majesty of the King, and I hear Him saying, "Grace! Grace I will pour out unto you. Grace I will give you. Oh Church, rise up in grace. The throne of grace is open to you."
I see flames, I see arrows, and I see frames... many frames. Like picture frames. People are about to get visions. For where there's been no vision, the people perish. "But I am about to say to the seer that has not seen, 'You will start to see with a new vision.' I'm about to say to the speaker who has not spoken, 'You are about to speak with new dimensions of authority.'"
"I Laid Down My Life For You, But You Must Pick Up My Life"
I was awakened this morning, and I was taken up above the earth. I was in this atmosphere where there was a crust on the atmosphere. I heard the Lord say, "Look into this." As I looked into the crust I saw a blister and it burst. I saw what really did not compute to my own understanding. I saw dollar signs come out. I saw houses come out. I saw people come out with rags on.
There's a blistering about to happen over the nation. The ceiling has been burst. The debt has been burst. "And I say to you, oh Church, it's the finances of the Church that will save the nations. For upon the visitation of your gift that you give unto Heaven, that will be the release of grace I send to the below. The blister is not pretty, but those who have given will be taken care of, and those who have must take care of those who have not. For I am calling My Church, I am calling My people to be givers like never before. I love you so much," says the Lord, "that I came into this earth, dispatched from My Father. I laid My life down for you. But you must pick up My life, Church. You must pick up My essence, My being, My Presence.
"Where is the promise that you gave unto Me? says the Lord. "Where's that promise you gave unto Me?" says the Lord. "I cannot be threatened by your promises. For many times your promises have been in vain.... out of your own will and out of your own imagination. But I tell you a greater glory is coming, and when it comes your promises that you give to Me will be the promises that I have released to you. For I am wiping away the backsliding." Come on, somebody! "I am wiping away the fear. I am wiping away the word 'no,' and I am giving you yes, yes, yes, yes!"
Five Pockets in the Nation from Hollywood to New York
There are five pockets in the nation. Their pockets are deep. Their pockets run deep into the earth. They are firmly rooted in this earth. But I tell you, their heads are in the clouds. These five pockets – one pocket is Hollywood. I tell you, Hollywood has its head in the clouds, living in the imagination of God. So Lord, we break the perversion off the imagination. We break the perversion off the imagination and we release the truth of God in Hollywood.
There's another pocket, pocket two, that's in New York. There's a group of people that are in New York that have been praying to see My glory. So Lord, we speak to New York, and we ask You, God, to release the truth in New York. Where is the witness in this house?
There's another pocket, pocket three, and it's in Georgia. The state of Georgia is carrying a deep pocket. There are signs, wonders and miracles in Georgia. People will start flocking to Georgia, and it's going to move over into Alabama. It's going to go into Tennessee, and it's going to go... Oh, thank You, Jesus, it's going into South Carolina, hallelujah! It's coming up through Ohio, it's coming into Indiana, and it's going through Kentucky, and it's coming into Illinois. Chicago will be a place where God's glory will be made manifest! God will move from the region of Chicago! That is a pocket! Chicago, you are a pocket – pocket four!
There's another pocket, pocket five, in the upper west coast. Its face is toward Canada, and its feet are toward America. I am saying to you from this region there will be a great revival! It'll be birthed from this region! All hail King Jesus! Go west, young man; go west, young woman! I'm telling you, God is raising up a band of people from the northwest area of North America, and there is going to be another pocket of revival where miracles, signs and wonders, miraculous healings and many are raised from the dead!
And the Lord said, "I'm going to teach you how to laugh at the Lord's enemy when he comes up in your face! You're going to laugh at the Lord's enemy when he comes in your face, and your laugh will be the flood I will raise against his house." Ha! Ha! Ha! I see the flame of Yah. I see this flame, and it's filled with the color purple and the color blue. I'm about to release into this assembly a spirit of revelation. There will be a destiny! You will begin to revelate in your sleep, you will begin to revelate on the TV, you will revelate on the computer, you will revelate talking. All of a sudden you will say, "I don't know where that came from," and you will know that it came from God because it is glory! It is God's Word.
A Spirit of Revival is Coming, But It's Not What We're Accustomed To
I see a spirit of revival, but it's not the revival we're accustomed to. I see many diving back into the Scriptures. I see revelation – revelation coming forth from the Scripture. I see a whole new wave of glory coming. I hear Him say, "I'm about to unfold another mystery. I'm about to give you another key to the Kingdom. I'm about to give you an audience with the Majesty."
I see a lion. He is huge. I hear the Lord telling me that he's 20 stories high, and he's walking across the land. He's been in Egypt. He's been roaring in Egypt, and he's walking into Israel; he's getting ready to walk into Israel, and he's going to raise his face to the sky. He's going to roar! He's going to roar in Israel! The line that has been drawn by the Blood of Emmanuel's veins between the United States and Israel will not be broken.
"But if a nation of people, not the land, will humble themselves and pray, I will give you the land, I will change the land, and I will change the atmosphere, because the framework is coming in." Come on, somebody! The framework is coming in! The framework is coming in!
EDITORS NOTE: I believe the framework spoken of here to be the proper alignment and coming into rank and file of the five fold ministry. Especially the apostolic and prophetic foundation, framework, skeleton upon which the Body is built.
"I have set boundaries. I'm beginning to set new boundaries. I'm going to tell you, the sky's the limit!" Glory to God! The sky is the limit! Sing the chains are gone...
My chains are gone, I've been set free,
My God, my Savior has ransomed me,
And like a flood, His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace.
Praise God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah for grace! Grace, grace, grace, grace! Hallelujah, glory to God! Come on somebody, praise the Lord!

I hear the voice of the Lord! I'm telling you, I hear the sound of rain. I'm seeing rain in the desert. I'm seeing rain where it never rained! I'm hearing the sound of Heaven. I'm hearing the majesty of the King, and I hear Him saying, "Grace! Grace I will pour out unto you. Grace I will give you. Oh Church, rise up in grace. The throne of grace is open to you."
I see the waters filled with diamonds. I see a flood of the walls of Heaven. I see the breath of the Ruah of God. I hear the sound of exhale from Heaven. There's an exhaling coming from Heaven. And God will say to His people, "My Son is sufficient for you. My Son is sufficient for you." I hear the Son. I see the Son looking at His Father. He's saying, "These are the children of the Most High. What shall We do to bless them this day?" The Father smiles... He exhales!
I see flames, I see arrows, and I see frames... many frames. Like picture frames. People are about to get visions. For where there's been no vision, the people perish. "But I am about to say to the seer that has not seen, 'You will start to see with a new vision.'

from Apostolic Servants.
"New Apostolic Government in Place by 2012" and "God is Not Disappointed in You"
There has recently been a release and demonstration of God's mighty power in the earth. We have seen the sick healed, families restored, and the dead raised by means of the spoken word through television. We've witnessed all sorts of creative miracles: the blind can see, the deaf can hear, and tumors have dissolved.
There is a quick maturity and growth happening in the sons and daughters of God because of the extreme acceleration released in the glory of God. However, these powerful displays of the Kingdom are only "Previews of the Coming Attraction!"
Bonnie Jones' Dream
In a recent dream, Bonnie Jones was visited by the Lord. In the dream, the Lord came to Bonnie and led her on a journey. The first place the Lord took Bonnie was a massive storehouse filled with organs and body parts. The Lord allowed Bonnie to put her right hand (faith) into this storehouse where she held all different types of organs and limbs. She felt He was teaching her to have the faith "of" God, not faith "in" God.
The Lord continued to escort Bonnie on the journey. The next place was on a bridge and then over railroad tracks. The bridge and the railroad tracks formed a cross, symbolizing "righteousness and justice."
Next they went to 22nd Street Lake Superior . The Lord is about to do something far superior to what we've recently witnessed.
Next she was holding a map. The instructions said, "When you come to 9th Street 9th Street
Bonnie is from Ohio Lake Erie was, but not exactly where the other Great Lakes were. She decided to check the atlas and found where she was in the dream while looking at Lake Superior . She was in the extreme northern point of Wisconsin in an unincorporated village named Cornucopia - which represents an "open portal and the blessings of God." Looking straight ahead at Lake Superior are the 22 Apostle Islands
True Apostles are Being Released
What Bonnie saw in this visionary encounter with the Lord is parabolic of what God is bringing in this hour. In this season the Lord is restoring true apostles in the earth. As this apostolic government comes into view and is established, the Lord is releasing new keys - governmental keys of Kingdom authority that will be matched by no other generation.
Creative miracles, signs, and wonders will be witnessed in unparalleled ways as the Lord firmly establishes and confirms this new government. It will look nothing like what we've witnessed or heard of to date. There will be upheavals and shakings in the earth that will confirm what is happening in the spiritual - the natural proclaiming the spiritual.
What the Lord is about to do is far superior to anything He has done before. Creative miracles - arms, legs, body parts, and organs will come down from Heaven. There will be no ebb - no end! Your source is in Heaven, and this Heavenly warehouse is opening. Body parts will be issued to the Body, but there needs to be a government to do this. This will not be about a certain leader or leaders in particular, but an entire Church government and Body that will function in unity. This will be miraculous in itself.
A New Apostolic Government by 2012
In the last 30 years we've seen a restoration of the prophetic - true prophets have been restored to the Church. But now we are about to see a restoration of the apostolic - true apostles are arising. The prophets bring the revelation and the apostles bring the application.
These apostles will be men and women like Joshua - leaders that bring the rest into the Promised Land. These apostles will not be appointed by man, but by God. In fact, many of them will look extremely different from what we would call "apostolic." This new breed of apostolic order will not fear losing their reputation nor be concerned about what the newspapers are saying, but rather, they will speak what the real news is. The secular newspapers won't judge the Church; it will be the other way around.
You can't persecute the anointing and the glory of God or you'll miss it. These apostles will speak to nations and cause a shift in the natural and the spiritual. Revival will break out and new regions will be changed as the Lord establishes new governmental order. This is not a man thing…this is a God thing!
We will see an entirely new apostolic government in place by 2012. At this time, we will see the Church being put together and growing into a habitation for the Spirit of God: "...in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit" (Ephesians 2:21-22).
The Coming Election and the Angel Named Union Right now it is extremely important to pray for the coming election. The winds of change are blowing. We must pray for this Godly Vice President. September is the month that will make the difference - this is the month it begins. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, starts the night of September 29th.
Right now God is harvesting harvesters for the great harvest. By 2012 we will see a genuine apostolic government in place. From there we will see others come alongside and do what they are called to do.
We are in the middle of one of the greatest changes in history. These next eight years will be full of joy if the Church steps into authority and God's righteous people are elected. It's time to begin to bless instead of curse. The mind of Christ will be released to true followers with a fresh vision, new anointing, and plenty of provision.
We are going to see Roe vs. Wade overturned. It's time to bless the United States America United States of America Union " - we are united by diversity and strengthened by union.
Past Disappointments and Expectations
In a vision on August 31, 2008 , Bob saw that many people were imprisoned by their lost expectations. What they expected out of their lives had not come to pass.
Past disappointments or expectations for our lives have imprisoned us. And when you look back to your past expectations, you have no vision for your future.
Your failures were steppingstones from your past; steppingstones into His presence and your future. It's time for you to flush your past and let it be gone from you. The Lord is commissioning you - giving you a mission; vision for the future.
There is a remnant left who remain; they really believe God and have kept their spirits and consciences clean. The Lord is not disappointed in them. However, they've become disappointed in themselves. But the Lord says to you that your disappointment was His opportunity.
So our past disappointments rob us from our future vision because God is saying:
"I'm not disappointed in you because of your failed expectations, for they were My opportunity to change your life for My purpose.
"Your disappointments or expectations were stepping stones to My presence, and now, I'm going to demand that you flush them and look to the future - not the past, for those who look to the past have no future! I now have My Spirit in many of My people."
In the vision, Bob saw that many of God's saints' consciences (or their spirits) were clean, but their minds weren't. And the Holy Spirit is dealing with the mind of those who have not come to the place where they thought they should be.
God says, "Their conscience is clean and now I'm going to cleanse their soul, because I'm going to use their soul and their spirit to reveal My Kingdom. So now I begin a work of cleansing their soul, so their soul might be a partaker of My Divine Nature.
"You're actually ready in the spirit. Now I'm preparing your soul, for I'm going to use both soul and spirit. And the soul is what I'm preparing.
"I just want you to know that I'm not disappointed in you and I've brought you to the place where your future in Me shall be fruit." Amen.

Storms in the Pacific
This is a historic moment for your nation. And you know, like a prophet, when I began to hear what Bob Jones was releasing, when he mentioned
This is something about the mandate of the Lord for this nation. This nation, like a huge war ship, has been turning around for seven years, and the enemy has positioned his armament against this nation to take it down and the only answer for this nation is the
This nation has not been lost yet. The purpose for this nation has not been lost yet. The hope that is in the heart of God for this nation is being released back into the apostles and the prophets and the church is rising up in this hour. So I’m going to ask you to stand as we release this word this afternoon because this is the key that the Lord has given.
I’m gonna share this with you: It was August of 2005. We were driving down to
And he says “the key to this is going to be released through worship.” See sometimes we think we worship God and then we have to do things. He says “when they worship me, to the point where my glory comes into the place then whatever I release into the hearts of the apostles and prophets, what they speak, will be creative to make the shift happen in Spirit that will manifest in the church and in the land.” There’s so much power that’s available to the church, amen?
Now just lift your hands for a moment, let’s just begin to worship the Lord… “Surely,” says the Spirit of the Lord, “that this is an appointed time for this nation” says the Lord, “for there have been those who have gone before you, there have been those who have labored in prayer, there have been those who have prophesied over this land,” says the Spirit of the Lord, “but there have been storms that have come against you, there have been storms that have come against your government, there have been storms that have come against your land, and there have been storms that have come against the church in this land,” says the Lord.
But the Lord says “lift up your eyes and begin to look out over the Pacific for there is a new storm that is a brewing over the Pacific,” says the Lord “and the storm is by my Spirit!” says the Lord “for the winds are beginning to increase, the winds are beginning to blow.” And the Lord says “The winds of the storm that I have created out in the
For the Lord says “that which I have desired to do in this nation shall break forth in a shaking and a breaking loose even in this state” says the Lord. “For I have called forth the leaders to rise up. It is I who have placed my hand upon my sons and daughters, and raised up out of the earth of this state, those who would walk with authority as apostles and prophets” says the Lord. “And yes, this is my doing, for it’s I who is bringing them together, it is I who is networking them together, it is I who is bringing together the alliance that shall be joined to the nations of the world.
But the Lord says “I have chosen this part of the
For many men have said ‘oh no, there is no church that is strong in the Northwest, the Christians are divided in the Northwest, nothing can come out of the Northwest!’” And the Lord says “I have picked it. I have chosen it. I have chosen that out of this place will come the fires of revival, and a movement, of the apostolic that will break forth the river of life that will flow throughout the United States of America and into Canada and down into Mexico.”
And the Lord says “and the move of my Spirit that will begin in this place will go around the world. Once again, there shall be a release in this place” says the Lord “and even today,” says the Lord, “because of your hearts and coming before me, I release a new wave of my Spirit, and of my presence, and of my authority upon you.”
And the Lord says “even today, call forth the apostles from these cities, call forth the apostles from these regions and allow them to decree that which I have placed in their hearts.” For the Lord says “It shall increase the intensity, it shall increase the breakthrough that I have ordained to begin even today in this place” says the Spirit of the Lord.
And so Father we release that right now. We speak release of that right now. Lift your voice and begin to give God praise…
