Prophetic Words for 2017

A new gate is opening in the spirit as God is releasing a backlog of revelation and blessings. 

Prophetic Words for 2017

2017 is going to be a time in which many of the least likely people begin to awaken to God’s love. A long-awaited start of global awakening and revival will take place. Many of these people have been rejected by the Church, but God is saying, “I have not forgotten them and their cries have reached my ears.”

Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord. Psalm 117:1–2 (NIV)

The world is going to awaken to the awesome power of the Lord. There is a reason for all the turmoil and attacks. It is the enemy not wanting us to see what God is about to do. God is more powerful than Satan and some people have fallen into the trap of looking at the storms and believing this is judgment against us. God has a solution in the midst of it all that will unfold in 2017.

Due season is now overdue

The lives and ministries of people were brought into the Courts of Heaven over Rosh Hashanah last October 2016. Last year, the Lord examined our lives with the highest level of the heavenly court system. Daniel 7 Ancient of Days court sessions were held over us all. This is similar to the level of the Supreme Courts on Earth.

Everyone went through an assessment to see if we are ready to advance to the next level with the Lord. Many people were promoted spiritually this year and the Lord is now releasing special plans and assignments for those who have walked through the painful preparation it takes and are crying out for mercy and not judgment.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)

I heard the Lord say, “This is your due season and it is overdue for many.” Do not give up as this is a season to reap. It is not far off. Things are going to begin lining up for you over the next few months. The Lord has not forgotten you! For many, the very reason you came to Earth is about to be revealed in 2017.

Do not give up as this is a season to reap. #prophetinsight

Wind of Change coming

Expect to see backlogs of blessings and unanswered prayer come to you over the next 3 months. Between now and March things will start to line up with greater clarity. What currently looks like losses will suddenly turn around for many people. Though it seems that darkness is winning, after March this is going to take a quick turn for the good.

I have observed that the Wind of Change angel from Heaven shows up March through May each year. Expect the Wind of Change to blow heavy this year. It will help remove debris from our lives and uncover new hidden treasures.

I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. Isaiah 45:3 NIV

Angel is ready to dance

God spoke to me that many forgotten prophetic words from the past are coming to us in 2017.

I had a spiritual experience at Rosh Hashanah on September 28, 2011 in which I saw an angel that was in position and about to dance. In the vision the place where I saw the angel standing looked like a combination of San Francisco, Las Vegas and Hollywood.

The Lord said that when this angel dances it will shake things open and release finances, favor and an anointing to bring people into God’s Kingdom. In the experience, many of us had been waiting a long time for this angel to dance. Then without warning, it danced and the ground shook and golden coins filled the streets.

This is the release of Kingdom finances that will be needed to impact the world for God. It is also a shaking coming in the way we do things. Watch for this angel to dance over your city!

Two moves of God coming

There are going to be 2 moves of God.

1. The first is going to be inside the Church and in the lives of Christians—it is designed to awaken and prepare us.

2. The second is a wave of revival that will be geared to those who have been rejected by Christians or have been considered unclean or even an abomination. What is coming might seem to be a stretch to many people, as some of our current ways of doing things will not work to reach those who have been rejected. I have been prophesying this for a number of years now and I call this group the spiritual outcasts. They are the ones that did not fit into churches or had a bad experience and went away, never to return.

Billion Soul Revival

This year will be the start of the Billion Soul Revival—though it will not look like it on the surface. Do not despise humble beginnings. The late prophet Bob Jones prophesied this revival would happen. Sadly, Bob died in 2014 without seeing the fulfillment of it.

On September 22, 2016 I heard a counsel meeting in the Courts of Heaven. It was about Bob Jones’ life and ministry and his prophecy of the Billion Soul Revival. Many people have forgotten about it, but God has not forgotten this prophetic promise and plans are being made now to fulfill it on Earth.

During the counsel meeting, the tasks of fulfilling the revival were split into thousands of assignments. No one man or woman could carry this mantle alone. Bob carried the strategies; but now the actual fulfillment plans are being released to us.

God has not forgotten this prophetic promise and plans arebeing made now to fulfill it on Earth.

A new Jesus People movement coming

The Jesus People movement of the late 60s–early 70s was the last known revival in North America. This was a theologically messy movement as many hippies turned on to Jesus and became Jesus Freaks.

The Jesus People movement started in San Francisco and was taken to Southern California and then to the world. This movement had a strong belief in miracles, signs and wonders, faith, healing, prayer, the Bible and powerful works of the Holy Spirit. It changed the face of Christianity and broke the religious spirit of that day. Sadly, it was rejected by the majority of the Church.

There is a new Jesus People movement that is going to start in San Francisco again. It will not start with the hippies as it did then, but it will be among the sexually broken and the Fatherless generation crying out for God’s love. 2017 will mark the start of something new in San Francisco that will go to Southern California and then to the world.

A Golden Gate opened

The Lord spoke to me to go to San Francisco on New Year’s Eve 2016 and open a gate in the spirit that will release the strategies for the next coming revival. I tried that night, but it would not open until the next day when I repented on behalf of all the people who have cursed and judged San Francisco.

As I removed these curses, the gate opened over the city of the Golden Gate. This is a key to opening revival and blessings over your house, church, business, city and nation.

The Glory of God is returning in 2017

During the Jesus People movement in the early 1970s there was a strong presence of God’s Glory. It was like a liquid anointing or tangible atmosphere that could be felt by many people. Without God’s greater glory and power, we will not be able to be part of a revival and movement as big as what God has in store for us.

In 1975, the Lord spoke to Bob Jones that the greater Glory of God was going to leave the Church because it was used for man’s gain instead of for revival and the Lord’s work. On March 17, 1977 Bob saw this glory lift from the Church and it has not returned since. Yes, there are people who still carry portions of it, but overall, the glory of God has not been on the Church at large since that time.

March 17, 2017 is the 40th anniversary of the Glory departing. This is the year that the Glory of God is going to return to the Church. Like the glory of the 1970s it will not be limited to the four walls of a Church. Similar to the Jesus People movement, the Glory of God is coming with signs and wonders, healing and miracles and will begin to touch those outside the church and into the streets.

In closing, I am not saying all of these things about the big revival will take place in 2017. But God is planning and positioning us for them.

This will indeed be a year that started out looking evil and dark but will end with greater hope and more of the light of the Lord being released.

Get your hopes up as God has not forgotten you!

Blessings,

Bob Jones: Preview of the 2014 Shepherd’s Rod

Preview of the 2014 Shepherd’s Rod

Each year on the Day of Atonement we set our self aside to receive revelation from the Lord for the body of Christ for the upcoming year and the years to follow. Some of the things the Lord highlighted this year are: the Father's love, resurrection power, the international banker, warnings to the church about immorality and paralyzing fear. We want to share with you one message we feel is vital to the church this year as we get ready to move into a season of the baptism of fire.

Baptism of Fire

By Bob Jones

Second Birthing

Bob was handed a huge white egg and as it was placed in his hand it began to hatch open.  As he drew closer to examine the egg, he saw that it had fire inside and it was like a birthing of fire.

This egg represents a new birthing and new life because it represents the second birthing of the baptism of fire. This baptism will be far greater than Pentecost and more powerful than Azusa Street of recent times. I believe we’re all getting ready to be birthed a second time in fire. This was the timing and we will see the fire of God this year. (Hebrews 6:5)

John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. (Luke 3:16)

It’s the same kind of fire as the burning bush that was not consumed. I believe that now is a time of commissioning like when Moses received his instructions. When this egg opens, the wisdom that will be given is that of the Father’s will because it will reveal the Father’s heart to us. Then our only testing will be obedience to that which the Father puts in our conscience.

This baptism of fire means that plagues and viruses cannot cling to it. No demonic control can survive around it and the enemy cannot trouble you. The baptism of fire will bring in holiness and holiness is one of the main words this year. God is a holy God and when we are consumed by this baptism of fire, anything unholy that comes into our presence will not be able to stand. The power of this consuming fire will cause demons to flee and sickness, disease, infirmities and plagues to die instantly. There will be no question that the power of God is resident in His people.

Highway of Holiness

I saw that we had been working on a roadway and were just near finishing it. The road was made so you could drive up the mountain. I felt this was the highway of holiness of Isaiah 35 and I think this year there’s going to be more emphasis on holiness than ever before. We are called to make the highway of holiness presentable so people can drive on it. If you walked on this road it would take quite a while. But I feel the Lord wants it to be made possible for you to get there quicker.

A highway shall be there, and a road,? And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.? The unclean shall not pass over it,? But it shall be for others.? Whoever walks the road, although a fool,? Shall not go astray. No lion shall be there,? Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;?It shall not be found there.? But the redeemed shall walk there, And the ransomed of the Lord shall return,? And come to Zion with singing,? With everlasting joy on their heads.? They shall obtain joy and gladness,? And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.(Isaiah 35:8-10)

We were nearly finished working on it so people could drive right up on top of the mountain and park. This is a year of holiness and there will be a quietness that the body needs. At different times they will come to the mountain top just think on the Lord and rest in His holiness. 

Conditions for Holiness

The project we were finishing at the very top of the mountain was the highest way in God. We had worked on this mountain road so we could navigate it by auto. And that auto means being really impressed with the Lord. The conditions for getting on the highway of holiness are in Isaiah 55 which means your thoughts must line up with God’s. If your thoughts are in agreement with God’s, your actions and deeds will follow.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. (Isaiah 55:8)

Many Christians are coming into the Spirit of Holiness this year and that is the Spirit of Resurrection in Romans 1:4. We are called to be holy as the Lord Thy God is Holy (Lev. 19:2). Then we have the power to heal the sick, raise the dead and do the greater works. The Spirit of Resurrection is coming to the remnant so they can bring thousands into salvation by knowing the way and the way is holiness through obedience to Isaiah 55:8.

We had been working on the road going up a mountain and had it graded down and graveled so you could drive on it. We just needed to finish it at the very top so people could drive up and park and look into the heavens. I believe this is saying that the heavens are going to be open this year. So expect to receive greater revelation than ever before. Then take it down the mountain road and into the cities and villages and watch them be transformed as you deliver them from demonic oppression, plagues and disease. When the glory rests upon you like it did Moses, no demon will be able to resist its’ presence.

Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down!?That the mountains might shake at Your presence— (Isaiah 64:1)

House Ablaze

By Bonnie Jones

In a dream I saw people running toward a house that was greatly ablaze; fire was blaring everywhere. There was yellow police tape stretched between trees in the foreground that read “DO NOT CROSS.” But people paid it no mind. They just broke through the tape and ran toward the fire.

I believe the house represents the church and its about to catch fire. The glory of the Lord is going to fill the house in such an extraordinary way that it’s going to be contagious. People will come from near and far to feel the presence and power of the baptism of fire.

The Year of the Double, Bob Jones Shepherd's Rod 2013

[Editor's Note: this is a small portion of Bob Jones' Shepherd's Rod for 2013. It is a small part of the whole word, which is too long to post here (it's a book!). This part seemed appropriate for us.]

When Elijah went up to Heaven in the whirlwind on God’s chariot of fire, Elisha received his mantle with a double portion like he asked. (2 Kings 2:9) There was a sudden change that took place in the natural and spiritual at that very moment. Elisha would continue to walk in the footsteps of Elijah with a far greater anointing. He performed twice as many miracles and ministered to people in every level of society: government officials, peasants and the poor. He was more tolerant, or perhaps had better discernment, than Elijah. 

This year marks the ending of one dispensation and the beginning of another that is far greater. Elijah was a prophet that prophesied in the country whereas Elisha prophesied to the nations and in the cities. Elisha had twice the anointing as Elijah. This year marks the ending of the Elijah ministries and the beginning of the Elisha ministries. The Elijah’s have trained and equipped the Elishas and now they will come forth in the double anointing. 

Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs. (Isaiah 61:7 Amp)

The religious spirit in the church will not be able to deal with the Elishas as they come forth in spirit and truth. They are as bold as lions and stand for righteousness, justice and truth. The fact is the Elishas will deal with the religious spirit in the church. When they speak the word of God in spirit and truth the religious spirit will flee. 

For I the Lord love justice; I hate robbery and wrong with violence or a burnt offering. And I will faithfully give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with them. (Isaiah 61:8 Amp)

Bob Jones on 2013: Decision & Commitment

This is the year to make a decision and commitment! The decision brings us to commitment so we can commit our entire life this year. Then we will serve God and obey the written word and the Holy Spirit in the way He directs our lives. When we make this commitment to God we will see the faithfulness of (Isaiah 11:5.)
 
And righteousness shall be the girdle of His waist and faithfulness the girdle of His loins. (Isaiah 11:5)
 
Through obedience to the written word we learn righteousness; right standing with God. By developing relationship with God we take on the divine nature of Christ and sanctify the imagination (thoughts). When we surrender our soul to our spirit we allow the spirit within us to rule over the soul.
 
And having been set free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in thought, purpose, and action). (Rom. 6:18)
 
In this way our thoughts, purpose and action will be committed to God’s will. And being led by the Holy Spirit of Truth, Who leads us into all truth; we walk the highway of holiness. Then our entire bodily members will be in complete obedience to the Holy Spirit because we are obedient to the law of Love. (Rom. 13:10) It’s from the place of mature love the greater works flow. Then what is seen in our sanctified imagination we speak according to the will of the Father bringing “on earth as it is in Heaven” into the natural realm.
 
Christ was obedient unto His death on the cross. Christ was separated from the Father when He cried out “My Father, My Father why have You forsaken Me?” When Christ became the atoning sacrifice for man’s sin, the Father could not look upon Him. Therefore, obedience is greater than sacrifice. Christ yielded all His bodily members to the Father so we could become the righteousness of God through His Son. Jesus lived His earthly life totally committed to the Father’s will. Therefore the Father’s will was being done on earth as it was in Heaven. For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son. This was the Father’s greatest act of love, giving His Son to mankind. (John 3:16)
 
It is in the DNA of every Christian to hear the voice of God and be led by His Holy Spirit. John 10:4 says His sheep hear His voice and follow after Him. His sheep commit to follow Him because they know the voice of the Good Shepherd. We must follow His voice and be totally obedient to what He tells us to do. Obedience leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to sanctification. Sanctification is the beginning of holiness and holiness is the beginning of the greater works. The greater works begin with unconditional love toward one another.
 
 And he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. (Luke 10:27)
 
God is calling for us to conform to His way with all of our natural being; heart, soul, strength and mind. We are being called to walk the straight and narrow way, the road less traveled or perhaps better known as the highway of holiness. We must surrender to Him the dictates of our own heart in order to walk according to His will.
 
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. (Isaiah 55:8)  
 
When we make the decision to walk the way of righteousness and arm ourselves in commitment, we begin to walk in sanctification. Sanctification is the belt of truth we put around our waist and commit our mind, will and emotions to God in thought, purpose and action.
 
Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God. (Eph 6:14)
 
You shall know the truth and it will set you free. The truth we gird our mind with is His Word. His word will always tell us what to do. The real thing that we commit our self to is love.
 
Love does no wrong to one’s neighbor [it never hurts anybody]. Therefore love meets all the requirements and is the fulfilling of the Law. (Rom 13:10)

This is the word for 2013; make a decision for Christ that you’re going to walk in righteousness. And make for yourself a commitment to obey the works of righteousness which is our thought purpose and action. We live with the consequences of decisions we make whether good or bad. Let’s choose to make God the Master of our life and let Christ ride in the saddle of our mind. Let us commit ourselves completely to Him this year! That which we have committed to God He is faithful to commit to us. Once we have made the decision to commit our whole being unto God and come into His righteousness, we must not stray from it.
 
For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. (2Timothy 1:12)

2012 Harvest and the Fullness of Time

Like the sons of Issachar, we are to recognize the times and seasons of God. There are numerous prophetic affirmations indicating that we are entering a "fullness of time" season in 2012, where we will experience resurrection power and the beginning of the great end-time harvest.

Just like the children of Israel, who received a promise of entering the land of milk and honey, we are once again at a "Kadesh Barnea" time in history. At Kadesh Barnea, the Israelites who had been delivered from Egypt, had a decision to make.

Twelve spies from each tribe had come back with a report about the land they were told to possess. Ten spies gave a negative report about the giants in the land and spread fear. Two spies, Joshua and Caleb, gave a good report about the fruit that was in the land and exhorted their generation that they were well able to possess their promise.

Although that generation was given the promise of possessing the land, they did not obtain the promise because of their unbelief and disobedience. They grumbled and complained and God said "I will do to you the very thing I heard you say." (Numbers 14:28).

That generation died in the wilderness and the promise passed down to the next generation. Only Joshua and Caleb from the previous generation were allowed to enter the promised land because they had a different spirit and a different confession.

We must understand the ways of God. It is through faith and perseverance that we will receive our promises, "...do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises." (Hebrews 6:12)

Not only must we steward our promises, but we must obey the conditions given for them to be fulfilled, "And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh Barnea, he said, 'Go up and take possession of the land I have given you.' But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You did not trust Him or obey Him" (Deuteronomy 9:23).

Visitations from Bob Jones

In 2002, Bob Jones had a visitation from a heavenly messenger. The messenger conveyed to Bob that the condition for seeing creative miracles was Psalm 133. Unity was much more important to the Lord than we understood.

The messenger pointed out that ambition among Believers opens the door for suspicion; suspicion brings competition; and competition breeds division. When these are present, it will motivate leaders to discredit or undermine those they feel threatened by. It will actually disqualify some and cannot exist in the heart of the generation that God entrusts spiritual power and true authority to.

Bob Jones has made numerous trips to the Northwest. Every time he comes, he brings a word about the importance of bridling the tongue. About 20 years ago, while ministering in Spokane, WA, he gave a prophetic promise with a condition. He prophesied that if we wanted to experience the miracles they had in the latter rain healing revival, we needed to obey Psalm 15. That Scripture exhorts us not to cast a slur on our fellow man.

In 1998, Bob saw an orange pickup truck from the 1950s that was broken down. It represented the latter rain healing revival that took place during that decade. He was told that we could "pick up" where they left off. The latter rain revival was cut short because of character issues, including greed, competition, immorality, and pride. America turned down her season of opportunity, much like Jerusalem did and missed her day of visitation (Luke 19:41-44).

In Isaiah 58, it says that if we do away with the pointing of the finger and malicious talk, our light will surely come (verses 9-10).

The choice is ours. We can choose to believe the promises of God, repent of gossip and slander and choose to love one another, and experience revival and creative miracles; or we can continue to grumble and complain about each other, and how bad things are, and die in the wilderness.

2012 Harvest

Recently, I had the honor of interviewing Bob Jones in his home in Charlotte, NC. We talked about his death experience in 1975, where the Lord sent him back to witness the beginning of a billion soul harvest. He believes that the harvest will begin in 2012 and we will see resurrection power and creative miracles.

The generation Bob saw in the "Sands of Time" vision have reached the age of maturity this year. He saw an army arising (those born in 1981 and after) that would be characterized by compassion and holiness. He was told that when they reached the age of maturity, no gift would be denied them and no disease known to man would stand before them. They would have no fear of the enemy. They would have the Spirit without measure.

There will be some born before 1981, with a spirit like Joshua and Caleb, who will also experience these promises. They will be leaders in this next move of God and will gladly lay their lives down in love for the next generation.

Numbers 32:11-13, "Because they have not followed Me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more when they came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob– not one except Caleb and Joshua, for they followed the LORD wholeheartedly."

We have come to the Kingdom for such a TIME as this. Let's possess our promises in this "fullness of time" season.

Bob Jones, Rick Joyner: 2012

Bob Jones and Rick Joyner speak about what they see coming in the year 2012.



A quick summary:

• It will be imperative to be anchored in hope (Rom. 15:13), and not allow the enemy to steal our hope, no matter what. 
• Wisdom is returning to the American Church; She has returned to take over the Father's business. Knowledge + experience = wisdom; knowledge + wisdom = understanding. Wisdom is coming to bring new levels of understanding of the times. This understanding will enable us to know the right decisions to make and people will follow us. 
• Remnants are coming forth to be guides for the entire body of Christ; to show us what the Father requires. One thing He requires is love. 
• Your place in heaven depends on how much you learned to love. The only foundation that will stand is the one built on love. 
• It is a time for repentance; repenting for putting things, people, and even circumstances higher than God. We must spend more time loving the Lord than working for Him. 
• Lets learn to love Him and work alongside Him, because the Harvest is coming.

Bob Jones: Preliminary Shepherd's Rod 2012

Bob Jones discusses some of the revelations he's been hearing for 2012:

Bob brings a number of prophecies for the church. He teaches about the coming civil war within the church and within each of us. He points out the need to worship in spirit and in truth instead of with our mind.

Bob Jones on 2012 from Northwest Prophetic.

Standing Your Ground.

[Editor's Note: This post is decidedly not intended to tell you what to do in response to prophecies like those from our previous post. Nor is it intended to take the place of you hearing God's instructions for yourself. This is a competent prophetic word, but unlike others, this word comes out of the Northwest, from a community that is deeply committed to the Northwest and to God's purposes in this region. Read carefully, and judge for yourself. (1 Corinthians 14:29) ]

I know there are good intended people suggesting that we need to consider moving out of certain regions and cities that are in danger of being torn to pieces via earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or other possible disasters. Of course, ultimately, everyone needs to get the mind of the Lord for their own lives. However, I want to share with you a few reasons as to why I think it would make matters worse, not better, if you were to leave an area just because of the possibility of a threatening event.

On one hand, it certainly seems like the responsible thing to do is to take your family and run for your lives. However, just the sound of that casts a negative light on trusting in God, especially if you are living there because the Lord directed you there to begin with. I know this does not mean he cannot change his mind and have you move somewhere else for whatever reason. Yet, fear should never be the driving force behind our decision-making. Fear is like a cancer, once you give in, it keeps spreading from one area to the next.

Relocation certainly requires careful consideration. However, it requires more consideration than buying a car or house. The region you reside in carries with it the power of kingdom occupation. Whatever the measure of kingdom glory living in you, great or small, is also living in your city or state. It might not seem that way from a personal perspective, but looking at it from the perspective of multiplication it can have a profound impact, even if you are a traveling ministry or financial entrepreneur. Think about it. When you are home, you are praying, meditating on the word of God. You are listening to his voice; letting his thoughts occupy yours. Hopefully this describes you. Thus, your place of residence is housing the glory of the Lord. This is unquestionably no small thing. This kingdom authority stays with us regardless of our geographic position in the earth. Even when we are temporarily absent from our natural dwelling, there is still a degree of spiritual influence that is left behind.

During a time of great famine, not just in Egypt, but also across the world, God led Joseph into the house of Pharaoh. There he interpreted the dream of Pharaoh concerning the future, thereby gaining access to all that Pharaoh possessed. Joseph prepared the people for the future by helping them to store up for a famine that was to come. I think one of the most important things to note here was that God needed Joseph to settle down in that territory in order to carry out His plans for the people. Greater yet, through the occupation of Joseph God was able to pave a way for the nation of Israel to come and settle in the richness of that land. (Genesis Chapter 47)

It is important to understand that your place of dwelling has the potential to become a refuge for those in need. Regardless of any impending danger, the promise of Abraham’s seed has carried over to you and me. When famine came into the Land in Isaac’s day, Isaac received the blessings of God, which was based on the faithfulness of Abraham.

“Then the LORD appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath, which I swore to Abraham your father. And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws." (Genesis 26:2-5)

Wow! The promise of God was given to Isaac through Abraham. Due to the conditions around him, Isaac was making plans to dwell in Egypt, but God said, “Live in the land I tell you to live in and the blessings of Abraham will be upon you.” What am I trying to say? The blessings of God is wherever He leads you, it is wherever you dwell. Regardless of any potential danger, the life of the Spirit in you and through you is dependent upon your obedience to the word of the Lord for you.

Now let’s get down to the heart of this message, “It’s time to stand your ground.” I believe the impending strategy of the enemy in this nation, and in certain parts of the world, is to get the people of God to exit the regions and states that God has sent them to dwell in. Why? Because, if the enemy can persuade the dwellers of God to leave a city or state, he has just increased his chances to carry out his evil intentions in that particular territory. I hope you can see just how huge this strategy really is. You are the sustaining power in the earth. You are the ones that are keeping the platelets from shifting in your land. The glory of God working through you is the refuge of any geographic area in the earth. You are the portals in your city that enable the angels of God to carry out the will of the Lord.

Can you hear this? You are not where you are at today by mistake. You are where you are at by divine appointment. Many years ago you moved to your city knowing God said, “Go.” Now, negative circumstances are trying to convince you otherwise. You know the voice of the Lord. I believe you heard Him rightly. Do not let the enemy turn your heart away simply because things are not going the way you hoped they would. Do not let him move you because of fear. Yes, I am speaking to those who have been gripped by fear. You have looked out across the world and said, “I don’t want to die like that. I don’t want my children to suffer an earthquake, flood, or volcanic eruption.” Of course you don’t. Who does? Nevertheless, remember, “God is our refuge, He is our fortress.”

Come on now. A spirit of survival is brooding over the earth right now. People are building survival shelters. Storing up food and water. They are being driven by fear, not wisdom. Do I think it is wise to store up food and water? Yes. I think it is always a good thing to prepare for any unexpected emergency. However, I have watched some of the Christian channels lately. They are profiting on your fears. I have seen this spirit at work in previous years, right before the year 2000. It is just as ugly and gross now as it was then.

Do not allow yourself to be seduced into a survivor’s mentality. You are an overcomer. You are more than a conquer. This means you are not here to just get by, or just get the victory; you are here to possess the land with the heart and mind of God. I stated in my latest video, “Transposing Circumstances” Lord send me to Japan! Did I mean it! Absolutely. Why? Because the spirit of David is in me. It’s the same spirit that is in this younger generation. I want to run into the middle of crisis, not away from it. I carry the solution of heaven in me. So do you. You have the courage of Joshua. You can take a few and overcome enormous odds.

Rick Joyner: Prophetic Significance of the Japan Earthquake

There has been a lot of conversation about the prophetic significance of the Japan earthquake, and questions of what does that signal, both for the US and for the Northwest. One of the clearest voices on that topic is Rick Joyner, and he's produced several Prophetic Bulletins on the topic.

Here are Rick's Prophetic Bulletins, gathered in one place for your review.

A couple of comments:

First, we reject the concept of the earthquake, or the other events surrounding that earthquake, representing judgement. This is not God's judgement on Japan. Nor would it be any of our business, really, if God were speaking to Japan through these events. That would be Japan's business.

Second, the Word says, "Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said." We present these bulletins in that spirit: please weigh carefully what is said. Please do not shortcut this step.

Third, please use this information first and foremost to pray for Japan, and second to pray for the Northwest. We are not looking for sensationalism: we're looking for prayer! Serious, focused, Spirit-directed prayer.

Finally, it is our intent to add more to this specific page. As Rick and Morningstar release more of these bulletins, we will add them here, if they seem prophetically relevant. You may want to bookmark this webpage.

Arthur Burt Prophecy of 1930

Story of a prophesy given in 1930 – Bob Jones Birth year.

Kathie Walters tells this story:

Several years ago I was in Wales, doing a conference. After the conference I went to North Wales, to visit an old friend, Arthur Burt. Arthur has been in the ministry for about 85 years. He was part of a tremendous revival years ago around the 1930's.

When I came back to the U.S. I called Bob Jones to see if he had any word for Wales. He said, "No, but I have a word for an old man in Wales and you were just in his house." "That must be Arthur Burt," I said as that was the only older man whose house I had been in. Bob didn’t know who Arthur Burt was at that time.

"What’s the word?" I asked. "Tell him, he will see the word," Bob said.

"He will see what word?" I asked.

"Bob said " I don’t know, you will have to ask him what word he received. He received it years ago. It was given to a group of people and they are all dead now except for him. But tell him he will see it."

So of course I called Arthur Burt in Wales. Had a conversation like this:

"Arthur, this is Kathie Walters. Did you receive a word years ago among a group of people and you are waiting to see it?"

"Yes, we did receive a word." "Good," I said, "What was the word?"

Arthur replied "They are all dead now, the people in that group, I am the only one left."

"Yes, I know Arthur; what was the word?" I asked again

"I can hear it now like it was then. I keep it in my pocket you know" Arthur said.

"ARTHUR, WHAT WAS THE WORD?" I practically yelled at him then.

This is the word that he read to me over the phone: remember that the promise to Arthur was that he would see this revival before he died. He is now 97 [in early 2009].

GIVEN TO A GROUP (Arthur Burt was a part of this group) 1930 - Bob's Jones birth year!

"THERE SHALL COME A BREATH AND THE BREATH SHALL BRING THE WIND AND THE WIND SHALL BRING THE RAIN AND THE RAIN SHALL BRING THE FLOODS AND FLOODS AND FLOODS AND THE FLOODS SHALL BRING THE TORRENTS AND TORRENTS AND TORRENTS.

SO SHALL THEY BE SAVED LIKE FALLING LEAVES FROM THE MIGHTY OAKS SWEPT BY A HURRICANE IN A GREAT FOREST. ARMS AND LEGS SHALL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND THERE SHALL BE NO EBB."

Bob Jones, speaking at a conference in 2009 [and again in 2011], said the FLOODS are movements of the Lord, the Torrents have to do with the end time revival of a BILLION people which the Lord told Bob about in 1975.

A Torrent is a river in extreme flood that cannot be stopped. The parallel of a word being given to a man who is very old, who is told he won't die before the word comes to pass is the story of Simeon in the gospel of Luke, chapter 2.

Bob Jones retold this story from his own perspective at a conference in Moses Lake last weekend, and he made application of this word to the Pacific Northwest. This version of the story was taken from here and here.

Bob Jones: Zion

During the 2010 Open Heavens Conference at MorningStar, Bob Jones brought a timely prophetic word about Zion being birthed in the church. He shared about how God is wiring us with a heavenly infrastructure and empowering us to wake up the world with what the Lord is imparting to us.

Privately, he has said this is specifically coming to the Pacific Northwest.

Closer to home, Bob Jones reports that God has told him to come to the Northwest and release some things. Details are being finalized on a conference with Bob Jones and Bobby Connors in January of 2011, to be held in Central Washington. Details will be posted here, and on the Nor'west Prophetic page on Facebook.

Bob Jones Shepherds Rod Prophecy for 2011

Every year on the Jewish new year, Bob Jones has had an encounter with the Lord in which he receives a revelation for the coming year. He has called this "The Shepherd's Rod". The following message is from the revelations that he received from the Lord on September 17th 2010 for this coming year.

Note: Portions of this word are specific to Morningstar Ministries. Much of the details and all of the principles are applicable in a much wider application.

Bob Jones: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013

Thanks Gary Severson for sending this word from Bob Jones

Gary's Note: Bob Jones is certainly an elderly statesman in the prophetic seer realm in the Body of Christ. I've gleaned the following from a message he gave recently. Bob is a seer, not a teacher. Sometimes he just makes a statement and then is on his next point, and you're not sure if he's left his former point or not. Sometimes he spends a lot of time on one point and you're not exactly positive when he's on another point. So the following is how I heard it. Gary

Word from Bob Jones

The year 2009 was the year of the OX. We plowed repeatedly. It seemed that all we did was plow and there was no or little reaping. We became exhausted with all the plowing. We even became discouraged and sometimes wondered if we had missed God. But God was plowing out things in us and the Body at large so He could use them. There had to been a cultivated soil so that seed that was planted would grow.

That year is over. The year 2010 is the year of the EAGLE. This year vision is carried and it begins to grow. This is the time to get the Word of the Lord out of our mouths as much as possible so it can bear fruit. The eagle has a protection on it that allows it to fly into the sun. Our country (the eagle is our symbol) has a protection on her if we fly into the Son. This year healing will arrive. You will begin to see some incredible miracles, and you will begin to be recipients and do incredible miracles.

The year 2011 is the year of the LION. That speaks of authority. Christians will walk in the authority of God like they have not been walking. We have the same authority that Jesus had on earth. We can do the same acts that He did. In John 14:12 the Lord says we will do even greater acts that He did.

The year 2012 is the year of MAN. The new man in God will begin to be seen. This speaks of unity in the Body, the Jews and Gentiles coming together, the world seeing a different type of Christian. This new Christian walks in love and power!

Though there will be revival pockets before 2013, it will become full scale in 2013. We're talking world wide revival. ( Remember Tim McClellan's prophecy over Jason Hubbard and Jon Hammil?)

Judgments are coming to the Body. Some of them are not for us, but we must trust in God or they will overcome us. The devastation of many others judgments can be reduced by us

1. Severe anxiety--We're not entitled to have this judgment; it belongs to the world. We are supposed to have the Answer to show to others who are very anxious.

2. Fear--This comes from having a big devil and a small God. People will die from anxiety and fear (e.g. heart attacks, suicide, etc.) Our faith needs to be anchored on Jesus, not what the news commentators tell us. In fact, many newscasters are witches putting curses on their viewers and listeners.

3. Depression and self pity--You cannot have your way, but God will have His way. Get over yourself and grow up. Stop living in poverty of spirit.

4. Financial collapse

5. Nicolaitan spirit--This spirit is condemned by the Lord in Rev. 2:6 (church at Ephesus) and in Rev. 2:15 (church at Pergamum). This spirit has victory over or rules over the people. It's the pastor (and sometimes other leaders in the church) being on a different, higher level than the people. The Lord says in Revelation that He hates this spirit, to repent of it, and that He will come against it with the sword of His mouth. The reign of the pastor over the entire church is coming to an end. There will be a community of believers with their various giftings operating. Everyone will be important.

Bob added that it was not necessarily so that the woman would come along side the man and together they would be successful. Wherever he has gone to speak in the United States, it has been the women who have shown hunger for God--about 85% to 15%. It could very well be that the men will come along side the women and be successful.

6. Plagues coming to crops. Bob saw fleas hit the fruit in Florida and wipe out the crop. There will be new viruses and new infections. The medical community will have no answers. These plagues will promote fear everywhere, but we do not have to buy into it. Don't pray to God for help. He's already given us the authority over plagues, but we must rise up and use our authority. Bob gave an example of a virus that hit North and South Carolina a few years back. It killed many people and there was no medicine to stop it. The church pleaded with God to help them.

Then the Lord told Bob in an angry voice that He wasn't going to pull the virus back; He had already given the church authority to do that. So Bob and Rick Joyner came against the virus in the name of Jesus and cast out the curse over the two states. After that, not one person died of the virus.

Watch Iceland. The Lord told Bob years ago that Iceland would be the barometer of what was happening and about to happen both in the U.S. and in the world. The volcano action there is a sign that God is shutting down the world economy. Three years ago Iceland went bankrupt. That's in our future, too. However, how long these things last is determined by us, the Christians.

Let God's shaking only shake out that which is not of Him in you. That way the Christ in you can grow up.

Anthrax Warning

Bob and Bonnie Jones released the following on May 6th for prayer:

ANTHRAX WARNING!

Pray for this nation to be safe from anthrax and other poisonous terrorism. Pray that the terrorists be caught immediately. Pray that anthrax not be able to cross our American borders or airborne parameters.

Tighten your tent straps!

From their website.

I don't usually favor publicly distributing prophetic words that are foreboding in their predictions. This word, however, focuses on a call to prayer, not on describing alleged forthcoming calamity. Public distribution of a call to prayer is appropriate.

"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. The Lord was giving her the key of David out of Isaiah 22:22, "Then I will set the key of the house of David on His shoulder, when He opens no one will shut, when He shuts no one will open." She looked up and in the distance saw 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, take a hard right." When they took a right on 9th Street the dream ended.

Bonnie is from Ohio, so when she woke up she knew where 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. Interestingly enough, there are 22 apostles recorded in the New Testament.

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 and not curse her. Bob Jones heard Kate Smith singing God Bless America. This is the United States of America. We are united by diversity, and the angel over this nation is named "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.
