A Word for the Pacific Northwest

by Bob Jones and Paul Keith Davis

Over the last few years, the Holy Spirit has highlighted certain regions of the nation as targets for unique expressions of spiritual impartation and visitation. In many cases, the specific location has been determined, in large part, by "wells of revival" that were experienced in prior generations. It is as though the Lord is redeeming those areas and capturing lost anointings, and utilizing the prayers and sacrificial lives of earlier saints. This is certainly not the only thing He is doing but a significant part.

One such area has been the Pacific Northwest. Over the last three years we have made numerous trips to this region, as have others, by the instruction of the Holy Spirit. Bob Jones actually had a vision several years ago, in which he saw three "Eagles nests" being established in the Northwest. These areas of refuge will be utilized to provide prophetic training, power evangelism and serve as a launching for many saints into their calling and commission.

October Conference

Wanda and I did a conference in Coeur d'Alene, ID this past October, hosted by Mike & Kari Browning. While there, a series of revelations were given concerning the region and the specific strongholds of the enemy attempting to hinder the Lord's outpouring in the Northwest. In one specific experience, the Lord revealed how the adversary has released "cyclone fences" in his attempt to separate and divide the believers of this region.

In the very place in which the Lord is calling for harmony and fraternal affection, the enemy has released division and self-preservation. The Holy Spirit is granting a deposit of divine grace to eradicate the separation and bring genuine unity among a body of leaders within the region. The very fact that the enemy has targeted this area, clearly points to the divine purpose and destiny for the Northwest.

That is not to say that all separations and sifting has been the result of the enemy. There has been a measure of shaking taking place within some churches that has been orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. This has been for the purpose of refining certain fellowships in preparation for visitation. Nonetheless, the lines of division drawn by the enemy are clearly marked with envy, jealousy and strife.

One of the ways in which the seeds of jealousy will be overcome is by rejoicing with individuals and churches who enjoy some expression of visitation. Rather than allowing envy to enter, celebration will overcome the seeds of division and pave the way for divine favor and grace.

Bob's Vision

A few weeks ago, Bob was given a clear vision involving the Pacific Northwest and the Lord's heart for that region. Over the last nine years, I have heard Bob share hundreds of visions. However, rarely have I ever seen him as enthusiastic and emphatic as he was in sharing this revelation.

The vision began with him seeing a spiritual hourglass. He watched as the sand elapsed from the hourglass denoting that "time had run out." It was clearly communicated that the time has now come for divine purposes to be established in "the land of beauty." This expression concerning the land came from the Lord to signify His desire to establish "spiritual beauty" in the Northwest--- clearly a place of natural beauty. The Scripture that accompanied this revelation was Zechariah 11:7.

So I fed the flock for slaughter, in particular the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. (Zech 11:7)

They are the divine staff's of "beauty" and "bands/unity." Bob saw in the vision, a tangible release of glory and beauty that is represented by the beauty of the land itself.

This is pointing to a release of favor and covenant or relationship among the people, through the divine grace that is coming. It is the land of immense splendor and attraction. The Lord is announcing His desire for the Heavens to be open in the land of great beauty. The hourglass has run out of sand. This will be a new beginning.

Nature itself will declare the handiwork of God. It is the emergence of His righteous "staffs" to heal and restore hurt and wounded sheep. The windows of Heaven were opened in the vision and revealed, through nature, the beauty of Heaven in the Pacific Northwest. How beautiful and awesome it was orchestrated.

Spreading to The West

Once deposited, this spiritual provision will go from the Northwest to the west and down to as far as Phoenix AZ. Somehow Phoenix was involved in this revelation. It is an old well that people thought was dried and filled with debris but now will be flushed of hindrances and obstacles in order to flow freely. Somehow in this divine scheme, Phoenix and the surrounding area is important.

March Conference

Presently, we are planning a conference in Coeur d'Alene March 6-8 [of 2004].

One of the additional encouragements from Bob's vision involved the leadership team for the conference. He saw there would be no division in the team. Instead, he saw covenant relationships and fraternal affection among the people participating. This will be necessary to touch heaven in a unified way to release the provision of Heaven to open the window over the Pacific Northwest.

He saw us, and those participating in the conference, as if we were sitting at a banqueting table- which he felt was the Psalm 103. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, {bless} His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; (Ps 103:1-4)

The Heavens became an open window to provide the benefits of God. This is to pave the way for strong evangelism.

Strong Evangelism

Bob saw in his vision, a man we know and recognize as an international evangelist, especially among young people. This aspect of the Lord's plan comes after the prophetic voice opens the window in the land of beauty. What is released in the coming days, will pave the way for strong evangelism.

He saw leadership teams coming together as a threefold cord - a very strong bond that is not easily broken. Bob saw a purging of the soul taking place in the conference through the worship. Once the soul of the people has been cleansed, it then allows for the beauty of the Lord to begin to fill them. It is to prepare a people to begin to enjoy the benefits of Heaven as described in Psalms 103. When we "eat" from the 103rd Psalm we have the strength to go forward.

Conclusion

Since receiving these revelations, we have discovered that Bob was in Coeur d'Alene 13-14 years ago. We have also now obtained a copy of the taped message delivered back then. It is interesting to discover that the essence of the word given at that time is the same as today. It outlined the Lord's desire to bring unity in place of division and pave the way for strong evangelism that will touch the entire region including portions of Canada.

As we have pointed out in our newsletter, we believe this year is the beginning of a new seven-year season of the Spirit. It is a new beginning that will change the spiritual environment in which we live. These times will be characterized by the Justice of God, unveiling both the kindness and severity of God. We must strive with all that is within us to be trustworthy stewards of this heritage and guard, through the Holy Spirit, the great treasures entrusted to us.

Larry Randolph to the Pacific NW

I feel I hear the Lord saying prophetically:

“I have called this region. I have called peoples of this region to be on the “cutting edge” of the purposes that I’ve intended before the foundations of the world. I call the churches in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve given prophetic words to men and women over the last decades and I’ve said, behold I intend a new thing in the Pacific Northwest. And I’ve sent showers on top of showers of rain an abundance of rain an outpouring and many have yet missed it and said, “That’s just the way it is for us”. And the Lord says, no. Noah’s flood I’m offering to you. The rain in My Spirit I’ve offered you and it’s just a precursor to that that’s to come, because I desire to open the fountains of the deep and the windows of Heaven in this place. Here in this church, here in this city, here in this region. And I’m about to show you what it really means to live as I’ve created you to live. I’m about to take the boxes that you’ve been living in and the circles that you’ve been hiding under and I’m about to break them asunder. I’m about to take the hammer of My Word and knock the ends out of the boxes. I’m about to release you from the prisons of confinement and the constraints that have kept you in the sameness theology that you’ve been living in”.

And you have said, “Lord will You do it? How can You do it? Lord, when will it happen”?

And I believe the Lord says, “It has begun. It’s already begun. You just don’t know it. Because I’m calling in this area a creative anointing. I’m calling a original anointing. I’m getting you in touch with the creative pulse of Heaven. And I’m going to do something extraordinary. Haven’t you noticed how I’ve positioned the marketplace here? And how the riches people in the world live here. And the most creative and innovative technical people are in this area. Haven’t you got a clue says the Lord? Cause as it is in the natural so it is in the Spiritual. Don’t you know that I’m going to advance technology in this region and I’m going to even move more men and women of influence into this region”?

And you said, “Lord why”?

“I say, as it is done in the natural it is in the Spirit. As it is done in the marketplace it is done in the Church. And I’m going to bring the Church to a new place of creativity; a new place of inventiveness. And I’m going to cause witty inventions to come out of the Church and creative expressions to come out of the Church. I’m going to kick the doors of constraint and the doors of confinement down. And out of the Church is going to come glorious, progressive, on the “cutting edge”, expressive, never seen before, unprecedented move of the Spirit of God in this place, in this region. For I have spoken over the Pacific Northwest by prophets for decades now and I’ve declared it and they have declared it. You’ve heard it and said we’ve heard it’s been declared. The Lord says, enough with the declaring, let’s start the doing. I’m going to cause the doing to begin to happen. And you’re going to do, you’re going to do, you’re going to do. And you’re going to embrace and you’re going to do, you’re going to embrace and you’re going to do. And I’m going to cause an accelerated thing to happen in this region. And it shall happen with a great shaking in 07. You shall see. The region shall shake and the grounds shall shake”.

And you’ll say, “What is this”?

And the Lord shall say, “This is the beginning. This is the beginning of what I’m about to do. Because I’m shaking everything that can be shaken so that which remains, only remains”.

And you said, “Lord why”?

And the Lord says, “Cause I’m shaking you out of your sleep cause the Scripture says, “Arise and shake yourself, arise”. Isaiah the prophet says, “Arise and awake you that sleep and God shall give you life”. For I am waking the Church in this area. And I’m awakening your intellect. I’m awakening your passions. I’m awakening your spirit. I’m awakening your heart. I’m awakening every nuance of your personality. I’m awakening old visions and old dreams and bringing them into a new context. I’m awakening your passion. I’m awakening your destiny.

There is an awakening happening in this area says the Spirit of the Lord. And you’re going to see it in incredible, incredible, incredible, incredible, incredible expression. So get ready in 2007 get ready for Me to begin to express Myself in a new way. You will step over a marker at the end of this year when Christmas passes and January 1 begins there will be a change in the atmosphere over this region. And you will feel the shift. It will be a shift. It will be a shift in the Spirit realm. It will be a shift in the kingdom of principalities. It will be a shift in all the other things. There shall be even a technical shift in this region and you’ll feel technology take a new accelerated pace; something extraordinary in the realm of technology once again is going to emerge from this part of the nation. And it shall redirect the course of history and industry and monies and corporate America because the Lord says, I’m going to do it again. I’m going to give the wisdom here again.

So get ready for that. And get ready for stuff that you’ve never even imagined that you could embrace or put your arms around. Cause I’m causing an army to come from this area. And the Lord says, haven’t you got it? Why would I plant the international and the headquarters for Women’s Aglow in this area? Why would I put the riches people in this area? I’m doing something as a microcosm of what I’ve called in this area.

So the Lord says, there’s an army of destiny arisers, an army of women arising that are anointed and equipped that have leadership in apostolic and prophetic and pastoral anointings on their life and I’m causing this epicenter in this place to begin to shake with a move of God and out of here is going to come a progressive model of what I’m about to do. Because I’m linking technology with spirituality and I’m linking the genders and I’m linking the denominations and the mindsets.

And there’s going to be a coming together of minds in this area and there shall be a spiritual think tank. But not only a think tank but a “do” think tank. I’m going to cause you to do. I’m going to cause you to think first and then to do. But it is in the doing that I’ll establish the thinking and it is in the doing that will establish the expression of what I’m doing. And I will establish the model of My Kingdom and it is in the doing of something so extraordinarily different. So don’t model after other moves of God. Don’t try to figure out what I’m doing in the rest of the nation. Don’t even wonder what I’m doing in the countries that are around you. Just say, God what are You doing in this region? What is indigenous to this region? What is created for this region? What is right for us as a people? Give us something that no one else has ever had. Give us something that is ours that we can own.

The Lord says, I’ve heard that from your heart. And I said Amen. I will. You’re about to see it. And the door of opportunity is opening to that in February to March of 07. And you’re going to begin to walk through that door into a broad place of expression and creativity and I shall change the climate in this area. I shall change the climate in the natural but I shall change the climate in the Spiritual and the climate of the Church in this area. And the Lord says I shall bring Holy Spirit oil on the hinges of the Church doors in this region and they shall open without noise. And they shall open with ease and the doors will swing open and the peoples will begin to flow into here.

And no longer will it be said that Washington is an unchurched state. It shall be said that Washington is a place of believers and it’s an epicenter of revival of what God is doing. For I shall pour it out into Oregon and into the other states and even south you shall see the revival fire spreading in this region”.

And you shall say, “Lord why”?

And the Lord says, “To you if I told you you wouldn’t understand because it’s tied into geography and principalities and the Kingdoms and a lot of things you wouldn’t get and more than that into My deciding and into My intentions. So the Lord said, no more questions. No more prayers about it. No more complaints about it. Just consider it done because it is done and it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done. And the Lord says you shall know”.

You shall say, “Lord there is a change of guard”.

Because the Lord says, “In the next few years there shall be a people of visibility pass on to the next life. It shall be a sudden thing. Some of you will say, what was that? And the Lord says, it’s going to be a sign that the old is passing and the new is coming. There’s things that are passing away in the public limelight in this region in the next few years cause there is a change of guard and a transition of power in this region says the Spirit of the Lord. So get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, put your running shoes on, get your briefcase and your purse ready, get ready, get your car running spiritually because I’m about to drive you on a tour like you have never been on before and I’m going to drive you into places you’ve never been before”.

And you said, “Lord we have no other place to go but into the Ocean”.

And the Lord said, “I’m going to bring it right into the waters. You’re going to see it’s going to jump the waters. It’s going to go up to the north. It’s going to touch the Alaska coastline too. And you’re going to see the shaking of the Lord and the hand of the Lord in all of this. But more than that you’re going to see the release of Lord, as I release an explosion of supernatural expression all the way from mid-Alaska down the coastline through the extreme west of Canada all the way down into California and it shall be the hand of the Lord. Big it shall be. Big it shall be. But they shall say, where did it come from? And the Lord says, from the epicenter. And they shall say, where is the epicenter? And they’re going to say Pacific Northwest is the epicenter of what God is doing in the region”.

So Lord we receive that.

Bob Jones word for Northwest in 2003

Submitted by Gary Severson.

Bob Jones' Vision (2003) for the Pacific Northwest (Words within parentheses are mine -Gary.)

A few weeks ago (in 2003), Bob was given a clear vision involving the Pacific Northwest and the Lord's heart for that region. Over the last nine years, I have heard Bob share hundreds of visions. However, rarely have I ever seen him as enthusiastic and emphatic as he was in sharing this revelation.

The vision began with him seeing a spiritual hourglass. He watched as the sand elapsed from the hourglass denoting that "time had run out." It was clearly communicated that the time has now come for divine purposes to be established in "the land of beauty." This expression concerning the land came from the Lord to signify His desire to establish "spiritual beauty" in the Northwest--- clearly a place of natural beauty. The Scripture that accompanied this revelation was Zechariah 11:7.

So I fed the flock for slaughter, in particular the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. (Zech 11:7)

They are the divine staff's of "beauty" and "bands/unity." Bob saw in the vision, a tangible release of glory and beauty that is represented by the beauty of the land itself.

This is pointing to a release of favor and covenant or relationship among the people, through the divine grace that is coming. It is the land of immense splendor and attraction. The Lord is announcing His desire for the Heavens to be open in the land of great beauty. The hourglass has run out of sand. This will be a new beginning.

Nature itself will declare the handiwork of God. It is the emergence of His righteous "staffs" to heal and restore hurt and wounded sheep. The windows of Heaven were opened in the vision and revealed, through nature, the beauty of Heaven in the Pacific Northwest. How beautiful and awesome it was orchestrated.

Spreading to The West

Once deposited, this spiritual provision will go from the Northwest to the west and down to as far as Phoenix AZ. Somehow Phoenix was involved in this revelation (This is where Patricia King is located.) It is an old well that people thought was dried and filled with debris but now will be flushed of hindrances and obstacles in order to flow freely. Somehow in this divine scheme, Phoenix and the surrounding area is important.

March Conference

Presently, we are planning a conference in Coeur d'Alene March 6-8.

One of the additional encouragements from Bob's vision involved the leadership team for the conference. He saw there would be no division in the team. Instead, he saw covenant relationships and fraternal affection among the people participating. This will be necessary to touch heaven in a unified way to release the provision of Heaven to open the window over the Pacific Northwest.

He saw us, and those participating in the conference, as if we were sitting at a banqueting table- which he felt was the Psalm 103. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, {bless} His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; (Ps 103:1-4)

The Heavens became an open window to provide the benefits of God. This is to pave the way for strong evangelism.

Strong Evangelism

Bob saw in his vision, a man we know and recognize as an international evangelist, especially among young people. This aspect of the Lord's plan comes after the prophetic voice opens the window in the land of beauty. What is released in the coming days, will pave the way for strong evangelism.

He saw leadership teams coming together as a threefold cord- a very strong bond that is not easily broken. Bob saw a purging of the soul taking place in the conference through the worship. Once the soul of the people has been cleansed, it then allows for the beauty of the Lord to begin to fill them. It is to prepare a people to begin to enjoy the benefits of Heaven as described in Psalms 103. When we "eat" from the 103rd Psalm we have the strength to go forward.

Conclusion

Since receiving these revelations, we have discovered that Bob was in Coeur d'Alene 13-14 years ago. We have also now obtained a copy of the taped message delivered back then. It is interesting to discover that the essence of the word given at that time is the same as today. It outlined the Lord's desire to bring unity in place of division and pave the way for strong evangelism that will touch the entire region including portions of Canada.

As we have pointed out in our newsletter, we believe this year is the beginning of a new seven-year season of the Spirit. It is a new beginning that will change the spiritual environment in which we live. These times will be characterized by the Justice of God, unveiling both the kindness and severity of God. We must strive with all that is within us to be trustworthy stewards of this heritage and guard, through the Holy Spirit, the great treasures entrusted to us.
