Apple of Your Eye Anointing that He is going to release over the state of Washington and over Seattle, Washington.

Washington Stand.

In worship the Lord began to show me a massive Apple in the Spirit. I said, God what is that, and he said it is what I am releasing, I am releasing the Apple Wine in Washington.

He said in Seattle, Washington, in the northern part of the country, in the northern part of the west coast, the Apple Wine is going to flow from the Mountain of God.

I see the New Wine of Heaven coming and I see God releasing a Fresh Marking, a Fresh Release of the Peace of God, of the intimacy of God, the Apple of Your Eye Anointing that He is going to release over the state of Washington and over Seattle, Washington.

I also see the firestorm moving in and moving out and moving in and moving out and the Lord is marking you today with New Wine in the Glory He is marking you today with the Apple of His Eye anointing of Intimacy with God and I see the Peace of God being released right now the peace that surpasses all understanding being released in Jesus name!

For this my people whom I have sought to do and to will and to do my good pleasure and have prepared a place of restoration upon these two generations. I’m about to make full proof of my word on your behalf that my glory might be seen in this nation.

This season do I declare unto you that I the Lord will bring forth full seed and harvest. I’m about to place my sickle in the field and reap forth abundance according to my word. My blessing and my provision do I pour out upon you as such a time as this that you might be partakers of the first fruits of my glory in this land at this time.

For I’ve called you unto me that you might be free from the snares of this world, that you might begin to commune with me and walk with me in the high places that I might speak unto you my joys, my mercies, my purposes, and my provisions.

Take hold of me just now for I am about to do this glorious and wondrous thing in your midst for I have taken away from you the reproach and I’ve taken away from you the stain of your transgressions and I’m causing you to stand righteous before me.

Take hold of me for I am about to lead you into a land that I have promised from the generations before this.

Take hold of me for I am about to bring you up into the high place that you might see my full provision.

Take hold of me and learn to know my voice, learn my touch for I will guide you in the days ahead. Though there be calamity in this land it shall not take hold of you if you will take hold of me. I’m causing you to be a declaration unto me, I’m causing you to be a proclamation unto me. I am causing you to stand as my army in the land that you will bring forth upon this nation full liberty and a habitation unto me.

 Take hold of me for the days to come, I will speak to you of wisdom and mercy.

Take hold of me for I’m about to take the scales of deception off your eyes that you might see my glory.

Take hold of me for I’m about to bring you into my household that you might have deep communion with me and me alone.

Take hold of me for I’m about to walk throughout the whole earth and show forth my glorious day of deliverance. I have called you to be an armor bearer unto me, I have placed upon you my provision and my protection, I have placed upon you my unction and my strength.

Take hold of me and learn of me and walk with me as I have called you. I’m about to cause a great trembling over the face of the earth, it is my hand doing this thing.

Take hold of me for I am your refuge.

Take hold of me for in my presence you will find your comfort and joy. In this time of tribulation that will come upon this land I will hide you in my habitation and you will tabernacle with me in the days ahead and we will have communion like you have never known before.

Take hold of me just now for I will take care of my own and I will cause my people to arise. I will cause my people to stand in this day of evil doing and they will surely stand without compromise and they will become my declaration. They will become my declaration of glory, my proclamation of majesty, and my instrument of praise.

Take hold of me just now for I’m about to reveal my glorious doings in this land.

Take hold of me this night and begin to dwell in my presence that I might preserve you, that I might restore you, that I might fulfill my word within your heart, that you might speak of my glory to all nations.

Take hold of me this night and I will cause you to walk in places you have not known.

Fresh Wind for a Fresh Harvest

I am coming soon to breathe a fresh wind on the Northwest. Many have said “I’m tired of the same thing every week” and “I’m ready for something new.” I am breathing new life into the churches throughout the region, and a fresh wind of creativity will uplift spirits. Do not expect things to happen in the old ways, the ways that have worked before. I am doing a new thing, and I want to reveal my ways and my will in new and creative ways.

This will require questioning ideas and beliefs that you have assumed to be correct for a long time, and it will require grace and patience as you watch others struggling through belief systems and transitioning in understanding of my Grace. For my grace is boundless, and reaches far beyond what you have learned in Sunday School. I am doing a new thing and bringing a new paradigm to my people in this hour. This new paradigm shift will help position you for the billion soul harvest that you have been preparing for, and you will not quite be ready until you receive my thoughts and my ways. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so are my thoughts above your thoughts, and my ways above your ways. Come up here and sit with me awhile, and I will share my thoughts and my ways with you, and I will give you blueprints of things to come.

I am preparing my bride to be spotless and pure, to be ready for all things in the days to come, and to be a shining light, burning brightly in the darkness that is ahead. And when I say darkness, do not fear death, calamity, or destruction. For the darkness I see most is the darkness in men’s hearts, darkness that hides my truth and seeks to keep mankind in bondage to the Law. See now that I have already set you free from the Law, and have brought about the new way of living by my Spirit. I am bringing a new revelation of the depths of what my Son purchased on the Cross, and am raising up a new generation of speakers who will share this revelation with My Church. I am not speaking in terms of ages, in that it will be a young generation of speakers I am raising up. No, I am speaking of a new generation of speakers from a perspective of the old having gone and the new having come. I am doing a new thing, and I am giving the revelation to a new group of people. I have had a people kept in hiddenness for this very time, those who have been hearing my voice and my leading in a new way.

Be aware that I am not saying that I am somehow a different God, but I AM saying that I am bringing new revelation and new understanding. Things that have been good in the past will no longer serve you as I bring about a new understanding that trumps the old. The old will simply be of no use or no value, in the same way that an old wineskin destroys new wine. You cannot expect to successfully mix the old wineskin and the new wine that I am bringing. For those who have been praying for the new wineskin, continue to diligently pray and diligently search. In the same way that my sheep know my voice, you will know the new when it comes before you, and you will know to follow my voice above the voices of all others.

When you hear my voice, do not turn aside from it and follow the wisdom of man. Many who have walked in my ways in the past, and whom I have genuinely given revelation to, will question my voice in this hour. You must follow my leading and not theirs, as I have said again that I am doing a NEW thing. It will not look like the things of the past, but it will look like my Son. Know that as long as you seek to know my Son and seek to hear My voice, I will not put the voice of Another in your path. I will lead you in paths of righteousness for My Name’s sake, and you will dwell in my house forever.

Word for the Yakima Valley and Beyond

When I died on the cross, my blood created a covering for you. A covering of
Protection. A covering of Blessing. A covering of Unity. Many are the attacks that have
come against this covering. Many are those that have tried to damage my protection
and to destroy my blessings. But remember this my children, this is my blood that
Covers. This is my power that Blesses. This is my power that Unifies.

Though the stones that come from the depths of the earth are strong and mighty in
the sight of many, know that my blood—liquid, moving, and life-giving—is many times
stronger. It is my blood that unifies and weaves my Church together. It is my blood that
purifies and sustains the life of my children. It is the strands of my blood-soaked Love,
that are woven together, as a net of protection, over my people and over their land;
over their cities and over their families; over their homes and over their hearts. It is my
passion, “The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies [that] will make
this happen!” (Isaiah 9:7b)

In this time and in this place I am moving. As a housewife will shake the crumbs off a
tablecloth after the meal is over, so to I am moving. And just as a housewife can easily
shake off the debris of the former meal, this task is also easy for me to do. Why would
you put a limit on my power? Do I not sustain the entire universe? Did I not defeat
darkness upon the cross?

I am removing the lies and distortions that have held the children of my house in
bondage. Listen for the wind of my Spirit! I am washing my children in the life-giving
water of my Spirit. I am removing their stains with my blood. I am encompassing them
with the warmth of my eternal Love. I am mending the holes that darkness has torn
and chewed into the hearts of my children. I am preparing them to be a table, fit for the
presence of the King of Glory.

My children, do not just look back at the cross, the cross where I was broken and given
for you in Holy Communion. Look ahead to the table of blessing it has become! Come
dwell in my house. Come eat at my table. Come, take my Word, my Communion of
Love, to all those who dwell on this earth.

But my children, you cannot do this alone. No one people, no one group can do this
alone. Only in godly and God-purchased unity can you do this. Do you not know that
my death on the cross paid for the unification of my people into one body? One body
in Me, one body in Holiness. One body in Light. One body in Love. It is my desire and
joy that you seek this unity. Know that I too join with you in this prayer—do not discount
the value of your prayers!

And do not discount the prayers and supplications of the Women of God. Did I not
make human beings in my own image? “In the image of God I created them; male and
female I created them.” (Genesis 1:27b.) The fullness of God contains both; that which
is considered masculine and that which is considered feminine. Am I not the All in
All? Do not discount the strength of your maternal Love, your maternal Courage, your
maternal Hope. I hear the prayers of all my children! I seek and respond to the hearts
of all who desire to do my will. All are worthy to serve in my house. All are worthy to
stand before my throne as priests and as rulers. “My Kingdom come, My will be
done. On Earth as it is in Heaven!”

Cutting Off the Serpent's Head

a Word of Hope by Sean Feucht

This has been one of the wildest, most intense and dramatic summers of my entire life. Is anyone else out there in the same boat? Has this season of transition, collision and acceleration taken your breath away? The ups the downs, the highs the lows are completely unpredictable with no premeditated pattern. Each day seems to boast a multitude of challenges, opportunities, excitements, thrills, pains and joys.

I guess my personal "overwhelming" feeling could be loosely associated with the culmination of my first few weeks of fatherhood and the beginning of my 27th year living in this beautiful mess called humanity! I've caught wind this summer from many friends and leaders all over the world that are experiencing the same trends, and it has caused me to dig into the deep places of the Spirit (see 1 Corinthians 2:10) for clear language and accurate articulation for what the Spirit is saying and doing in this hour.

One Venomous Snake

Two prime examples of this bizarre pattern of circumstances took place a couple weeks ago as I was on the way out to run errands in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This was exactly seven days after my little Keturah Liv was born and two days after my Grandpa (my dad's father) had passed away. My wife Kate was inside watching over our baby as she slept. As I walked through the front yard while texting on my phone (multi-tasking at its best), this massive black snake boasting large fangs lunged with all its might to strike my bare ankle. By the urging of some supernatural cosmic force (God), I looked up as this was taking place and vigorously jumped back and to the side just in time to miss the teeth and venom by less than two inches! Whew!

Without hesitation, I quickly ran into the garage in frantic search of a shovel and found a piece of bed frame in which to decapitate this almost five-foot long monster. I delivered the final blow only feet from the front door of our house (as it had the audacity to run "toward" the house from me). The whole ordeal was a brief 15 minutes long but kept me jittering for the better part of the day. After performing some due diligence, research on Wikipedia and insight from local neighbors, we identified the imposter as a Black Cottonmouth (scientific name here), known as a poisonous snake found on the East Coast. Upon striking a victim, the snake's venom quickly surges through the body en route to stop a beating heart. Yikes! So, pretty intense and quite gnarly right? Not your average Tuesday morning walk to the car? Even more peculiar about the whole thing: the neighbors have not seen a snake like it in the area in over a decade.

And Another...

If that was not enough, it all happened again during the final night of our Global Burn Summit on a ranch outside Dallas, Texas. Every year we gather a large percentage of our Burn 24-7 tribe scattered across the world for a weekend full of family, fun and the never-failing presence of God! For our largely decentralized and grassroots movement, this is our time every year to spend face time together with each other and get blasted with heavenly strategy from above. We had fiery leaders stream in from all across North America, Europe, the Middle East and even Australia, and it was a time we will never forget!

During the last night's session, I briefly stepped out to call my wife (who was in Virginia) to check on her and my new baby. As I was walking down the steps outside the meeting room, I was once again led to look up by a simple "nudge" of the Spirit inside me. At the bottom of the steps was a large, coiled-up snake with its head up and ready to strike! I could hardly believe it and had to scratch my eyes to make sure this was happening in the flesh!

I quickly jumped off to the side and grabbed a sharp ranch tool and chased the snake around (with some help) and cut its head off minutes later. Unfortunately, I smashed it pretty good and our best guess was identifying it as a rattle or bull snake. Both can be poisonous and painful to their victims. I immediately busted in to interrupt the impartation meeting with our leaders and proclaimed in a loud roar: "We are cutting off the serpent's head in this season and his strategies will NOT prevail!" The whole place erupted and we had a great time celebrating and welcoming in a new season of breakthrough across the world!

What Does This All Mean?

I have DEFINITELY been asking God for some serious interpretation to these odd situations (as I don't believe they are merely coincidence). Now I see "in part" but I believe a fuller picture is coming soon. Here is the revelation right now that I do posses as truth concerning this:

· The enemy is currently out on a rampage to "steal, kill and destroy" (John 10:10) as he knows his time is quickly coming to an end.

· We have been given the Spirit to "guide us into all truth," and God has graced us with "eyes to see and ears to hear" in this season (John 16:13).

· We will resist the confusion, anxiety and many tasks of this world and our lives to respond to His voice (example: putting cell phone down to look up).

· As we are attentive, God will prompt us to "look up" to watch the enemy's strategies unveiled before our eyes. The demonic plans will not prevail over us.

· There will be an ease of "mere minutes" to destroy satan's plans.

· Our greatest tool to see the demonic powers defeated in this season will be the "bed frame" of intimacy (John 15) and time spent in His Presence.

· Authority will be released from this place of intimacy like never before. "I have given you (power and) authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you" (Luke 10:19).

We Will Not Shrink Back!

Too many of these random but meaningful situations have taken place lately for me to side with fatalism or random coincidence. There is something brooding in the atmosphere over our cities and nations! Is it a ploy of the enemy to impose a barrage of distractions, setbacks and frustrating circumstances to cloud our focus and turn our attention more on the size of the waves than on the words of the Lord? If so, we could easily leverage these attacks and cry "woe is me" to further validate our timely excuses to give up or take a break. But according to Hebrews 10:39, that is no longer an option as the writer boldly declares over us:

"We are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved."

Just as Jesus summoned Peter to walk on the water with the simple word"Come" (Matthew 14:29), the voice of God has declared prophetic words over our lives, families, cities and nations in this hour that will manifest provision, resources, stamina and divine breakthrough to finish the work. In agreement with Hebrews 12:2, He is not just the author of our faith, but the finisher. We also know that not a single word from the mouth of God will return void, but will accomplish and fulfill the purpose for which it was sent (Isaiah 55:11).

He Cannot Avoid the Inevitable

Even one of the enemy's most grandiose schemes to murder over 50 million innocent babies in America since 1973 on the altar of convenience reveals he is scrambling with his limited potential to delay the inevitable. The golden bowls of incense above our cities and nations are filling faster than any time in mankind's existence with the fervent prayers and passionate worship of the saints. The generation emerging from this holocaust carries a divine redemption and compounded destiny to "Pursue, Overtake and Recover All" (1 Samuel 30).

So many furnaces, houses of prayer and "Presence-focused" communities are being planted in the hardest and darkest nations that we can no longer even count them. The radiating light of our presence ("(We) are the light of the world..." Matthew 5) in "His Presence" is causing the darkness to flee with the simplicity and ease of switching on a light in a dark room. The global missions movement is ravaging the earth like a wildfire, and "knowing Jesus" is still the fastest-growing trend worldwide! It is now viral and unstoppable.This glorious and victorious end-time surge of momentum will not diminish and there is no going backwards from here.

Hey, that is GOOD NEWS!

This Living Hope

So what do we take solace and stand on in a season with so much transition? How do we process and thrive through the dichotomy, chaos, unpredictability, confusion, and unusual bliss yet deep despair? What is our position as it is all simultaneously crashing in? How do we refuse to get flustered from the "normal" jabs of the serpent to pester and discourage us with economic turmoil, relational strife, marital disunity and unusual silence from God?

HOPE. It is the four-letter word carrying the sound the world desperately longs to hear. The search for it has caused them to do crazy things (socially, economically, politically, etc). As Believers in Jesus Christ, we are bona fide "new creations" (Romans 8) with a "renewed mind" (Romans 12) and heavenly perspective. We do not think with the "carnal" minds of the world and are not on a wild goose hunt for meaning and value (despite any postmodern theology). Hope is our true reality. Hope is a Man we know very well.

These words below out of 1 Peter, chapter 1 have struck me and become a reality now more than ever before in this season with the passing of my father, grandfather and even the birth of my new baby girl:

"...He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in Heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time." (verses 3-5)

I love that the Bible clearly describes this hope as "living", meaning it is NOW active and FULLY alive.

"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold...may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." (verses 6-7)

Burn 24/7 Tribe, lovers of God, and friends across the planet, I want to encourage you in this hour, regardless of your current circumstances, to press in for our true reality of this "living hope" we possess. Meditate on it, pray through it and allow it to become the fresh manna that nourishes your hungry soul. I would never sink into the mire of blind presumption and underestimate the trials, suffering and perils you may be facing. For this is a time of great shaking, shifting and transition. It could be hitting you financially, relationally, with disease in your body, lack of peace in your family, loss of a job, extravagant loss of a loved one (as in my case losing my father) and so on.

I have become even more sensitive and graced to "weep with those who weep" (Romans 12:15) than ever before in this season with so much loss occurring across the globe. But just as I looked into the innocent and glorious eyes of my new born daughter this morning, this "living hope" reminds and assures us that redemption is well on its way and the serpent seeking to distract us will be destroyed!

Keeping Up With the Horses

Jeremiah 12:5
"If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you,
Then how can you contend with horses?
And if in the land of peace,
In which you trusted, they wearied you,
Then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?

This is an interesting challenge that I believe God is speaking to His church right now. “You think you’re tired now? What are you going to do when the pace picks up? He’s been saying this for the past couple of years.

And now the pace is picking up. If we were content to jog along in the back of the pack, maybe also in the back pew, not pressing very hard into “God things”, then we’re discovering that isn’t working as well as it used to. I expect we’ll find the back rows of the church becoming more sparsely populated as their usual inhabitants can no longer keep up and fall away.

But the Denizens Of The Back Pew aren’t typically readers of blogs, particularly blogs like this one whose purpose is to challenge the status quo. Readers of this type of blog are more likely to be followers of Christ who are intentional and pressing forward in their relationship with God.

Believers who take the position of, “I want more in God,” tend to be among leaders of this race that we’re running with the footmen. And if the pace of the race is picking up, if the pacesetters are no longer soldiers but horses, then what will happen to those runners who were not falling behind? What will happen to the leaders of the pack?

What do we do? An examination of this passage reveals some answers.

First, the terms are military: “footmen” refers to solders on foot, and they only ran to the battle they looked forward to winning (a different verb was used of fleeing from a defeat). The run to the fight is indeed capable of wearying us, though it does not need to; by running regularly, with discipline and passion, we can keep up with the footmen. That’s valuable when we’re running with the footmen – as we have been, but not as valuable when the horses come onto the battlefield – as is beginning to happen now.

But the assumption is that after running with footmen for a while, we will run next with horses, or more precisely, we will “contend with horses.” Horses, while valuable other uses, were primarily tools of war, in this era, nearly always pulling chariots, so the image is still one of warfare.

But the verb Jeremiah chose is not about “keeping up with” the war horses and their implied chariots; it’s about contending with them. The Hebrew word charah is a primitive root, speaking of passion, jealousy, anger; it’s related to an Aramaic root word meaning “to cause fire to burn

Let’s just be bold and come right out and say it: our pace is picking up. It used to be that we could keep our place in the race by running with a certain level of exertion, and it isn’t working any more. We’re running just as hard, but we’re falling behind.

The solution is not about running harder. There is benefit in running harder when the pace is slower, when the pace-setters are foot soldiers. When the battle horses come onto the field, it’s not about running harder, it’s about charah: it’s about passion, anger, burning.

In this phase of the race, running harder won’t help. Passion is the only thing that will get us through this season, passion for the Man Jesus, for our relationship with Him, passion for the battle we’re facing, for the people who will be the spoils of war for one side or the other. Passion, fire in our soul, is the solution in this season we’re entering.

In traditional Hebrew fashion, the question is asked twice, using two different metaphors:

· If you’re getting weary just running with the footmen, what will happen when you need to contend with horses?

· If you’ve gotten weary in a land of peace (in which you’ve trusted), then how will you do in the floodplain of Jordan?

The phrase “floodplain of the Jordan” is interesting, particularly as we’re heading toward that place, away from the land of peace that we’ve become comfortable with. In the Hebrew, “floodplain” is a the metaphorical translation of the KJV and NKJV, while NIV and RSV translate “thickets”. The original word references “majesty” and “splendor.”

Both speak of abundance, of increase. The region around the Jordan was thick with growth, nearly a jungle compared with the rest of the land, and the reason was the water of the Jordan. So the figure of speech “floodplain of the Jordan” is talking about a season of fruitfulness, of increase, of abundance: an increase of the River, an increase in growth, an increase of harvest.

It might be worth noting that the increased growth around the river also provided cover for predators: lions particularly were known to hide in the cover there. Where there is an increase of harvest, there is often an increase of predators.

The point is this: “If you have been caught up in the crises of the land of peace, what will you do when I begin pouring out more of my river, when you enter the season of fruitfulness?”

It’s easy enough to be caught up with the stuff of life. We have challenges from information overload, from on-line distractions, from provocations coming from landlords, co-workers, other drivers. It’s easy to become overloaded in the drama of this season of running with the foot soldiers.

The fact that it’s foot soldiers we’re running with should help give us perspective: this isn’t about my comfort: we’re running to a battle. I need to be prepared for that battle, my attention needs to be on eternity in order to not be caught up in order to not be wearied in this race. I must “fix my eyes on Jesus” (Hebrews 12:1-2) and run with the discipline of a single focus to keep up with the soldiers. That season was marked by “Just keep on running. Just keep running.”

But with the increased pace of the war horses, there comes an entirely different focus. This season is being marked by an increase of the River among us, and by an increase of growth and of harvest. In this season, we’re beginning to experience the outpouring of God and the ingathering of the lost that we’ve been praying for during the years and decades of “just keep running.”

This is what we’ve been praying for, what we’ve sacrificed for, what we’ve been waiting for! But now that God is answering those prayers, things are different than they once were. The water is higher. The undergrowth is thicker. There’s life sprouting up all over the place, whether in healings, in people coming to (or back to) faith, or in unbelievers being open to hearing the gospel of life.

But there are lions hiding in these bushes as well, still roaring, still seeking someone to devour. If not you, then some of the new believers, some of the people who have been recently healed, some of the folks asking questions now.

We’ll be sustained in this battle by the fire of passion. Discipline – which was so valuable before – is of less value now; its place is perhaps a safety net: if passion falters, then we’re not completely destroyed. But the successful warfare strategy will be to develop a burning heart, to fan the spark of our love for God and for His people into a flame and nurture it into a bonfire. In the wild, have you noticed how a campfire always draws the people around it, but the wild animals are driven away from it in fear?

God's Desire

Children,

It is My desire to be with you in every moment in every circumstance and situation. That you would look at Me and to Me. That you would inquire of Me.

Ask Me about anything! My intentions toward you are entirely honorable and full of love and grace. Peace dwells at My right hand.

I would never use or abuse you. You can find rest in Me. You can surrender. You can trust Me. You can let go.

You only catch glimpses now and it warms you on the inside but there is so much more! Continual communion with Me. Life and peace. Hope that is never deferred only fulfilled.

From a meeting in Olympia, WA

The Lakeland Revival is the Northwest's "Cookie"

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

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

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

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

This word is for all of those who are being called into this work….

For the Lord would say - "Come into the Plan that I have for you!"

For the Lord would say, "Come into the work that I have for you. I know that you have been downtrodden and that you have seen bits and pieces of the vision, bits and pieces of what I want to do in this region and I do not give these things out vainly in the hope that they will or will not occur, for I know that they will occur," says the Spirit of the Lord.

The Lord says, "Come in - for I know that you are beaten and abused and discouraged," and the Lord says, "Come in, Come in! Come in and come unto Me because I WILL complete the vision that I AM has given you - I WILL complete the vision that I have for this region."

The Lord says, "Come in and be blessed! Come in and be put to use - come in And be put to work. Come in and find your destiny in what I have planned for you For I have called you to be apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists. I have called you to this region and I have ordained you and I have set you in this place for a time and a season SUCH AS THIS," says the Lord. "I WILL fulfill what I have promised you in your personal lives as well as in the vision for the region."

"Come in," says the Lord. "Come in and do not delay. Come in and make it a work of speed and in haste. Come into the tent of the Lord. Come into the shadow of His wings. Come in and rest and reside and I will build you up! I will remove that which is not of Me and I will replace it with that - that IS OF ME," says the Lord. "And I will open the door for the you.... I WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU!" says the Lord.

Season of Lost and Found!

December 1, 2007

Last night as I was getting on the Internet I noticed this story’s headline. I immediately felt a strong pulling in my spirit to read it. I felt the Lord saying He was going to say something to me through it.

Bracelet pulled from chicken is one clucky find

Boy's ID bracelet lost decades ago turns up in a gizzard from Minn. bird

updated 5:35 p.m. PT, Fri., Nov. 30, 2007

FAIRMONT, Minn. - More than two decades after Aaron Giles lost his identity bracelet, he's finding how it was discovered tough to swallow.

A meat cutter at Olson Locker in Fairmont came across the shiny object in a chicken gizzard and saw a name, address and phone number engraved on it.

"I've heard of livestock swallowing unusual objects, but this situation stands out," Mark Olson, who owns the meat locker, told the Sentinel of Fairmont.

Giles had lived in Fairmont as a child and played hide-and-seek and other games with his brothers in their grandfather's barn near Sherburn.

"I would spend most of my time out at his farm, and that's the only place I can think of that I would have lost it," Giles said about his bracelet on Thursday. The 31-year-old said he thinks the bracelet was lost when he was 4 or 5.

The barn was dismantled a few years ago, and Giles thinks his bracelet was imbedded in materials used to construct another barn in Elmore, about 45 miles away.

The bracelet was found in a chicken that came from an Elmore farm.

Olson was able to track down Giles' father, who had moved to Arizona. Giles, who now lives in Gloucester, Mass., said he received his old bracelet in September.

"It was in pretty immaculate shape. Everything was working on it, and all the engravings on it were still legible," Giles said. "It was quite the surprise."

Giles said he expects the bracelet to stay in his family for many years to come. "I have no plans on trying to lose it again," he said.

As I read this story I felt God saying there were things that have been laid aside, lost or stolen a long time ago that are getting ready to be returned. I have continued to feel God brooding over this story, pulling me to look at it again and again. And today I realized it was because this message was not just for me but for many of you as well!

I feel God saying that many have had their Identities stolen in some way or another. Who we are in Christ, who we were always meant to be has been laid aside or lost somewhere along the way. I sense that we are getting ready to come into our full inheritance as Daughters and Sons of the most High and parts of ourselves and who we are in Him is getting ready to be restored to us in unusual ways. He also pointed out that the ID bracelet was returned TO him. He did not go hunting for it. It feels like many have lost apart of who they are, sooooo long ago that they don’t even have hope of it being returned to them. There isn’t even a realization that something is missing. How can you go after something that you don’t know exists?

I also saw many of us coming back full circle. In life God often teaches us with specific emphasis and then HE goes on to other subjects and impartations. These seasons and what He teaches through them become apart of who we are and gives us Key’s and tools to respond like He wants throughout all life’s experiences. I see us coming back to lessens learned long ago. I see us coming to a season where He says, “Now is the time to pick up and combine all I have taught you through the years.”

God is taking us corporately into a season where we will need ALL we have learned over the years!

I see us like Knights that have trained for a long time. Sometimes emphasis has been on the sword, sometimes it has been on the javelin, other times we have learned to ride without hands. Now He is saying to many, “You have learned well! But there comes a time where you use ALL your skills together for a purpose.”

I see a drawing together taking place in the body of Christ for a purpose. I see the Lord repositioning people strategically. I see many being drawn to new people. It might feel like something is wrong, because some will find that people they have been very close to will slowly be drawn in different directions. Nothing is wrong; there is just a restructuring taking place, a repositioning. Others will find themselves being drawn even closer to old companions, fellow warriors. It is time for changes to take place. God is getting us ready for something very specific. We are no longer in training. I see field assignments being given out, not one on one, but to different GROUPS that will GO together. We WILL NOT be able to go it alone. These assignments are being given out to GROUPS! Not isolated solders. There is a time and a season for everything “… a time to laugh a time to cry…” A time to go it alone with only you and Jesus, and I time to be brought alongside of our brothers and sisters of the faith for a corporate God ordained purpose!

God will be placing us strategically in groups, because each of us has learned vital lessens that we will need to combine to fulfill our assignments!

This next Season/ year will be about restructuring, being brought full circle, and reestablishing into our lives that which has been lost, stolen, or laid aside for a season. Some of us are even being called to step out of our comfort zones! Some of what has been OK in the past will not be OK in this season. In order to fulfill our God given calls some of us will have to relinquish our hold on things God is saying is not for us right now. A call is going forth to look our lives and say, "Lord what would you have me do with my time and everything else you have given to me?"

Some of you have looked back and seen a huge price that you have paid for treasures that have been unused ever or unused for quite some time.

“Look at Me” the Lord says, “I have made you beautiful and you will use ALL that you have learned in the coming season of time. I have equipped you fully for a reason. It WILL NOT be wasted. Your years of training and the tears you have wept before my throne will not be lost! I have equipped you for a harvest, Now GO fully able!!!”

The Tuning Fork

This came my way from Sandy Coultas, one of the prophetic voices at RevivalTown Ministries.

Dear Friends,

I just received this email from a young man in NY who is a friend of ours. He is a prophetic intercessor and dynamic man of God. He is directing this word to the houses of prayer specifically, but I thought that it has an even broader application for us in the Puget Sound as we prepare for the 3 day worship event coming up with Alisha and Jason Upton. I feel it also has direct application to the SOUND events we are planning at the colleges this spring. There is such an incredible message coming from the Lord the last couple of years. It has to do with sound and very amazing scientific research and understanding that is being coupled with revelation and prophetic insight to bring tangible regional atmospheric breakthroughs. That's what I'm believing for this spring as Olympia and the greater Puget Sound area lift our hearts to Him in abandoned worship, spirit directed intercession, and strategic prophetic assignments and evangelism. The last few months have been difficult for many, but I believe it is time to shake off the residue of winter and press forward anew for what He is about to do!

He is Faithful!

tuning forks...I kid you not!

ok, ok so sometimes i am not quick to obey, although i should be but God's grace enables me to bring this word to you now

in December of this past year, the Lord gave me a word about tuning forks but i did not blog it like I was supposed to...imagine my surprise when in February I’m watching the "starting the year off right" conference on GODtv and this woman Sandy Newman releases a word about sound, vibration, and yes, you guessed it - tuning forks!!!

so here's the word the Lord gave me in December:

the Lord wants to release the spirit and the anointing of tuning forks...to receive and resonate with the vibrations of sound declaring His truth, His healing, His love, His freedom, His grace

houses of prayer are tuning forks...tuning forks both send and receive the vibrations and sound...can only receive the sounds and vibrations of a specific frequency (depending on its size) that is the same as that frequency

so for example, if you take a tuning fork of a specific note (based on frequency) and you place it near one that is already ringing, if the notes are the same frequency the smaller tuning fork will begin to vibrate as well, in "sympathy" with the larger one

It's all about receptivity and proximity

The Lord releases His sound from heaven and if we are "tuned" to the same frequency and close enough to pick up the vibrations from His sound, we will resonate with that sound and vibrate as well! The Lord is saying that the houses of prayer are those tuning forks!

look at the definition of a tuning fork: (parentheses added to share revelation) A tuning fork is an acoustic resonator in the form of a two-pronged fork (two pronged as in worship and intercession!!!) with the tines formed from a U-shaped bar (open to receive) of elastic metal, usually steel (elastic meaning flexible and able to move when the Lord is moving, vibrating in unison with the vibrations of the sound of heaven; metal, usually steel speaks of firmness and strength, lasting and enduring)

let's look at the word resonate since tuning forks resonate with vibrations of specific pitch:

1 in electronics it means to reinforce (support, strengthen) oscillations because the natural (built that way, one might say "wired" that way or in one's "DNA"!) frequency of the device is the same (unity, from intimacy and communion with the Lord) as the frequency of the source.

2 to amplify vocal sound by the sympathetic (here it means "same" but interesting that the word choice is sympathetic, as in what moves the Lord's heart moves our hearts) vibration of air in certain cavities and bony structures (open spaces; Holy Spirit must be given free reign, the structure must be open to allow Him to move and flow).

other meanings that don’t necessarily have scientific application but very much have spiritual application in this word that houses of prayer are tuning forks: - to evoke a feeling of shared emotion or belief

to correspond closely or harmoniously

to be received or understood

The Lord is saying that houses of prayer correspond closely or harmoniously with His heart and His Spirit...the two pronged structure of worship and intercession enable houses of prayer to receive and resonate with the sound He is releasing from heaven...what happens when the tuning fork "picks up" and begins to resonate with the sound vibrations from heaven? it resonates at a constant pitch, disturbing the surrounding air molecules, causing them to shift and shake (vibrate), carrying the sound signal from one place to another!!!

interestingly enough there are many uses for tuning forks:

help tune musical instruments (make sure they are in the right frequency to receive the sound)

assess hearing (do you have ears to hear the sound of heaven?)

used as an alternative healing therapy...biosonic states that you can use tuning forks and sound to experience deep levels of healing by bringing your body back to its fundamental pulse and by connecting you to your authentic life rhythm. (how about coming back to the fundamental pulse of the heart of worship, a heart that beats with and for the Lord? connecting to authentic life rhythm...how about connecting to the Author of life??)

in electromechanical watches to help keep time accurately (do you know the time in which you are living?)

calibrate radar guns to ensure accurate measurement (can you recognize the signs of the times?)

Lord, release Your anointing on Your body...let Your house truly be a house of prayer for all nations as You say in Your Word...let us be molded and shaped in such a way that we are receptive to You and in tune with what You are saying and doing in this hour...release the anointing of the tuning forks in Jesus name, amen!

Hidden Warriors

[Note: This word is not specifically about the Northwest, but it is a theme that resonates strongly among many of us in the Northwest as a key theme for this season. -Ed.]


Many of the ones who are called to play a key role in this responsibility are not even known on earth; but they are known in heaven. These spiritual warriors have received the imputed righteousness of God and carry His influence.

They have captured the attention of Heaven and it is now time to arise, like Moses from the wilderness, and exercise their delegated authority.

For a season, David was hidden in the cave of Adullam. When the time was appropriate, he and his mighty band emerged in strength to execute the commission of God. So shall it be with this company.

Although the call is for the entirety of the Church, those that will be used most notably in this battle will be many who are yet unknown in a public forum; but they are well-known before the Throne of Grace. Their reward will be great, once victory is achieved.

The heart of this message is for God's people to adhere to His standard of righteousness. Purity and maturity will prepare us to carry great mantels of authority needed for this commissioning.

A primary part of our mandate for this season is intercession for our nation and Israel. A deposit of anointing and authority is being allocated for those who will apprehend it.

Although we are focused on the prophetic promises for the future, much will be determined by our willingness to embrace this present responsibility. Winning this battle will lay a platform for the achievement of many prophetic promises granted to us as a corporate body and as individuals.

Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing

Washington State USA

Even now here amongst you are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They will be exposed for what they are but not before they wound many. Diviners and sorcerers, even these shall be exposed.

Uh oh, from the mountain top I can see a plain being shaken but the mountain remains solid. I see thousands climbing the mountain and warfare on the plain. People tired and exhausted, worry on their faces as they look down. Some with determined looks on their faces and others are only looking up. Enemies coming out of holes and caves, pushing people down and hindering their ascent. Whew... Eagles circling the mountain, watching and speaking comfort and guidance and the light of the Lord over ALL illuminating the scene. A rumbling underground awaiting the revelation of the sons of God.

Birthing sounds, this is the earth opening up and swallows the enemies of the Lord like it did in the wilderness during the time of Moses.

The thick darkness where the Lord dwells, from this comes lightning, fire, thunder and smoke. Who will approach Me in the high places?, says the Lord.

Will you be as the children of Israel who ran afar off and said to Moses, " You go speak to Him, He will surely kill us".

" Who will come before Me ?", says the Lord.

"Who among you will overcome your fear and approach Me? "

" Am I a God far from you?"

" Who will come to Me and learn My ways?"

Many even now think they know Me, says the Lord, but I say this....

Their hearts are far from Me, says the Lord.

My people have become blinded by their possessions. Many have fell into what Israel has equaled wealth with Godliness.

Who amongst you will learn both of my goodness and severity?

Judgment soon comes.

Do not be among those who rebuke My judgments as from the enemy. This grieves the Spirit, whereby you have been sealed.

Again, I counsel you to buy fine silver and gold tried in the fire and fill your lamps with oil.

Again I am weeping for the Lords people. They know not what will soon come to pass.

Who will build a hedge and stand in the gap?

Saints, God is calling us to Himself. The times are indeed short.

Set a watchman to watch. Let those who can see afar off keep watch. Make ready for war. Even now the sounds of battle are clearly heard.

You say in your heart, the Lord delays...

Let Me trifle with those who are His as He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

He is a curse to those who curse Him.

Vengeance is Mine, says the Lord.

The foolish run headlong to their end and even hasten it but the Lord delivers those who are His.

Remember Jesus praised Peter in one instance and rebuked him for the next one.

I did see a wall that the Lord had built as protection for His people. it completely surrounded them.

Northwest Vision

Graham Truscott
July 1972

I had only been in this nation a few days, in July 1972, and I was in Long Beach, Washington. Something happened to me that has never happened before or since. I didn’t know in those days, the difference between Washington D.C. and Washington State, I was so ignorant about America. And one day as I was teaching in the morning session of the World MAP Camp, I began to read my Bible and the print became blurred. I have a physical condition which afflicts me from time to time which causes blurred vision, and so I thought oh no, not one of these right here in the pulpit. But I was trying to read the Bible and what appeared to be a map of the United States, appeared over my Bible. And you know, I am so dumb sometimes, I didn’t know what was going on. I looked up, there was the map. I looked down, there was the map. I decided to quit reading and wait on the Lord right there in the pulpit in front of about 1,800 people. And then God gave unto me a vision, and I repeat, something that has never happened before or since that time.

Probably many of you have read it, because it has appeared in many periodicals and magazines throughout the nation. The main point of it was this, and it effects you because of where you live and where I’m standing right now. In the East of the map of America as I saw it, there arose a very dirty and evil cloud. Now this was in the end of June or the beginning of July, only about two weeks before the Watergate break-in. I’m not saying that was the interpretation of what I saw, but it was a significant historical sideline. And this dirty thing arose from the east and began to spread in a very ghastly way across the nation. And even as that dirty cloud arose and tried to sweep across the land, the map which I saw, in the Northwest, as sure as I’m standing here, I saw it with my eyes, in the Northwest there arose from the ground another cloud. And this cloud was silver, it was white, it was so beautiful I cannot describe it in words. And it began to sweep across the nation and push back this dirty evil cloud.

And then it began to drop rain, and small pools of rain formed over the map I saw. And the pools began to join with little rivers, and soon the whole nation was covered with beautiful clear and crystal water. Not only that, but out from the West Coast there appeared going through the sea, as I seemed to back off from the map, and the map became smaller, and the globe became bigger, there went through the sea silver arrows the same color as the cloud and the water from the West Coast, went through the sea to the nations of the East.

Now I’m not saying God is going to give America a revival because a little missionary from India saw a vision. But I want you to know that thing, that vision, that experience is as real to me today as when it happened over five years ago. The Bible says in Hosea 6:2, after two days He will revive us. This is the word of God, this is the promise of God, and I am persuaded that we are about to see in this nation of America, the greatest revival that the history of this nation has ever known.

1. I believe that we are about to see in this nation of America, the greatest revival that the history of this nation has ever known.

2. I believe that there is a restoration of praise and worship, such as we have never seen. I believe there is going to be right throughout the nation a tremendous, glorious, increase of praise and worship throughout the land. There is coming a tremendous increase in the presence of God in our meetings. We all know Psalms 22:3 that God inhabits, God dwells in the praises of His people. And I am persuaded that we are going to see some amazing things happen as we worship God. I want you to know, that when we have the presence of God in the meetings, Jesus is going to do the things that He did in Bible days, it’s as simple as that. We are going to see the sick healed by the presence of God. We are going to see the people saved by the presence of God. We are going to see people filled with the Spirit and delivered from demons and delivered from habits by the POWER OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD in the meetings. Now this does not do away with the preaching of the word of God, you know I love the ministry of Gods word. But I want you to know that as we have the presence of God in the meetings, God is going to manifest His power.

3. We are going to know the presence of God in communion. Communion is not a remembrance only. It is not something that is a form or a ritual. But I want you to know that God is going to restore, even as He is restoring water baptism, the truth of the presence of God at communion. It’s not a ritual, It’s an experience.

4. There is going to be in America, a tremendous restoration of the Tabernacle of David. For I have learned by experience that people are hungry and know that God has not finished yet. But I want you to know that we are going to see in all of it’s fullness the word of God of Amos 9:11 and Acts 15:16 restored.

5. There is going to be from America, the greatest missionary thrust that this world has ever known. Jesus said in John 4:35, Don’t say there are four months and then comes the harvest. Jesus said lift up your eyes and look on the fields. The Bible says in Ruth 2:9, let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap and go thou after them. Nehemiah 8:10, ….send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared. And there are multitudes in India and the nations who have nothing of the gospel of Christ.

Graham Truscott was speaking at Bible Temple, in Portland, Oregon, on September 25, 1977
