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.

This is the End of a Seven Year Period of War

The Spirit of the Lord would speak to you tonight. "Is it not possible for Me to just utter one word and everything will change? They shall say, 'Why is it there is a group of people celebrating when the prognosticators have told them this could be the worst time of your life?' What do I say about it," says the Lord?

"This is the end of a seven year period. This is the end of a seven year period of war. This is the end of a seven year period of disdain, and" God says, "at the end of this night will be the end of the seven year period, of the seven lean years. And then suddenly there shall come upon you seven fat cows! And the lean years will not consume nor eat the fat years. The lean cows will not consume the fat that is coming upon you. No, it is the end of war; it is the end of famine. How is this possible," says the Lord?

The Spirit of the Lord says, "Raise up your hands, open up your mouths." There are thousands of people watching right now by Internet all over the world, waiting to hear what the word of the Lord is.

God says, "They will say there is life, scientists will say they found life on the planets, but," God said, "it shall be proof once again of the existence of the Kingdom of God. I will invade science, I will bring from your earth cures for diseases. Angels are coming to this nation, to the nations of the Earth to bring the light.

"You have asked for a prophet, and," God said, "I have rescued so many of you; I have rescued your families. Some of you have not understood My ways, but," the Spirit of the Lord says, "get ready, for this shall be known, the new year shall be known as the year of festivities, the year of festivities. And they say, 'Why would this be the year of festivities? There is so much going wrong.'" But God said, "No, for the Kingdom of God is appearing and it shall be known as the shadow of light, for I am going to bring an unusual light into My Church, into My Kingdom, on this Earth."

And God says, "Even the shadow of Peter struck the sick and they were healed. And," God said, "what I'm going to send is not another revival, but," the Spirit of God said, "it shall be so unique, and so unusual that this manifestation that shall take place shall happen through a mere shadow, the shadow of light. For," God said, "you have watched how I have turned things around. Now as you enter into the New Year I shall bring forth upon you festivities, rejoicing. Listen, for there shall be a death by the year 2010, and it shall be known as the death of debt," says the Lord of Hosts!

God said, "There is a mountain that I'm about to give to My people that will give them access into every arena in life. But I need somebody like Caleb that will lift their hands and say, 'I am not afraid to take the mountain.'"

God is Opening a Door that No Man Can Shut

It's the end of year 2008, and a door is about to shut, and a brand new door is about to open that no man can shut. God is opening a door that no man can shut.

"Throughout this building, throughout the Earth, for those that would receive, for those that would receive," God said, "I'm opening a door that no man can shut." God said, "Tonight, do not take lightly He who holds the key, who holds the key of David."

The mystery of God is being opened up. God said, "This is the end day, this is the end time; you will do greater than the great cloud of witnesses that surrounds you. No man shall stand against those who I have selected. No man shall light a fire without the revelation of the Fourth Man. I'm about to show Myself favorably in science and from your soil, America, and three other nations; they shall discover, discover, discover and cancer shall no longer be a force of any threat to mankind."

Many of you watching right now, say, "Kim, I'm being engulfed, I'm being raptured into something." God's told me to tell you: "I've given you a key, given you a key to take away from Me what I've held in My hand for so long - it's just for you. I'm holding in My hand what you must take from Me, and I've held it in My hand for such a time as this."

January 1990 VISION of Missiles

I saw missiles coming out of the waters of the Pacific Ocean,
airplanes coming in towards certain cities along the Northwest.
When it looked like they would do their devastation,
I heard a voice speak from heaven, like thunder. It said,
“Watch what I will do!”

The mountains along the coastal range began to shake and tremble
and puffs of smoke shot out of them in all directions,
into the paths of the missiles and the planes.
The missiles just hit the ground, didn’t explode.
The smoke had destroyed the missiles ability to navigate,
to fly through the air, and they didn’t hit their targets.
It was also like shields or domes came over certain cities.
Even the contaminated air couldn’t go into those areas.
It went around them.

I saw many vehicles coming in on our waters,
like ships opened up in the front, and all these personnel,
carrying things, came out armored, right up on our beaches,
and all these thousands of people began to head out.
I saw the proud look on the faces of those that were driving the vehicles.
I heard, again, the thunderous voice from the heavens,

“Watch what I will do!”

Suddenly, mountains puffed out smoke,
and rivers of golden lava began flowing down a path,
right across the beaches in front of the invaders.
Terror came on their faces, and they turned back and
headed to the sea, fleeing for their lives,
as the waters behind them turned to steam.
And the Lord said,

“I have people in this land that I will not let them touch,
for they are Mine! They are My chosen,
and I will keep My chosen safe!
For I have a work for them to do yet in this land,
and in many lands.”

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.

God's Judgement Coming to the Earth

The Father yesterday spoke to me about speaking forth this word about his judgment coming quickly upon the earth. I have had several words from the Holy Spirit on what is about to transpire on the earth in the coming days since the beginning of this year. This is the first time the Father has told me send it forth to the people, with a specific warning to those in the Mt. Rainier area of Washington.

The Father is about to unleash a series of events upon the earth that will set men's heart failing. These volcanoes and earthquakes will be set in motion by the Father for the purpose of bringing men's heart to repentance in this hour, and bringing many to Christ. For those who will not heed, they will mean destruction and devastation in the days to come. For truly God's judgement is coming upon the earth in these days that are coming very quickly.

A year and a half ago, the Father showed me a string of volcanoes that would erupt at the same time on the earth. Then about 6 months ago or more, He spoke to me about Mt. Rainier, specifically. He confirmed it through another prophet friend of mine, Jim. Well this past week, He told me it is about to happen, between the next 30-60 days. Pray for what is coming upon the earth, was what the spirit spoke to me.

He gave me a great burden to warn those in the Mt. Rainier area, to pray and fast, and hear what preparations the Father wants you to make in what is coming, whether it means for evacuation, I don't know.. Just seek him, and he will tell you what you need to do in the days to come before this eruption.

The Father mentioned specifically Mt. Rainier, that would erupt, and that would set the series of natural disasters in motion, including earthquakes and more volcanoes, set off in this chain of events that would occur at the same time, like a chain set off. This sign will also be confirmed by prophetic events that will take place in Israel at the same time, around the feast times.

First the shaking and rocking of the very foundations of the earth, first spiritually, then in the natural realm with the earth. Also, he is moving the very plates under the earth, to cause many things to come to pass to bring those who have been in rebellion to him. It is for them, that He is doing this, to bring many into obedience to Him. Also, new ones, into the kingdom. Volcanoes will erupt, earthquakes will shake the very foundations of the center of the earth, as the Father shakes and moves in the earth, in this hour.

When I saw Mt. Rainier erupting, the Father showed me a series of earthquakes that would rock the very foundations of the earth at about the same time, or following. I saw many earthquakes occurring at the same time, in Alaska, Oregon, and California, being affected, as well as Washington, and few other states.

Those in Mt. Rainier area have not been warned by their local people, and they need to make preparations for this. So let this word be a warning to you from the throne room of God. Not to fear, but a warning to seek the spirit on what to do.

Today, the Father gave me a great urgency to warn the people, then my computer crashed for many days... so it is going forth now.. The Father told me to send forth this warning for those in that area, that it is coming quickly and swiftly. There are other prophets who I love and trust totally for hearing from the throne room of God, who have spoken the same thing to me in the past months. The Father is sending forth a warning from his prophets in this hour.

When I saw the plates below the earth move in the other day, and the father said, I am moving the very plates under the earth to bring these events to pass. I am doing this, for many will repent and come back to me in this hour.

I don't usually send out warnings like this, but we are to warn the people of what is going to transpire over the next few months, for we are those on the wall.

So I am sending this forth as a warning to all those in the Washington state area, near Mt. Rainier. This will trigger a series of earthquakes also along different faults in that area. This volcano has been upgraded to a level two, which means it is about to erupt within the next 30-60 days. Pray and fast and pray that God's will be done and his purpose come forth out of these events.

These were the words He spoke to me today to share with each of you.

"Fear not, my children, for you are in my hands, protected from all harm.. Listen to what the spirit is speaking to you in this hour. Be alert, and be vigilant to what I am speaking in this hour.

Rejoice, my little ones, for you are hidden in the palms of my hands, protected from all harm, and kept safe as you walk in by my spirit, says, the Lord."

It's Coming Down The Track And Around The Bend

by Bobby Conner [with Interpretation by Rick Joyner]

This prophetic experience came January 8, 1997. As the vision started, I saw a very intense white light. The light began to sweep over me, and a voice standing to my right side in the light said, "Look what is coming down the track and around the bend. It is God's Gold and Diamond Train." Suddenly I saw the train tracks. One side of the track was named "Truth" and the other side was "Spirit."

These tracks were coming around the bend of a mountain pass. I could see a very large cloud of what looked like dust and steam. I heard a loud sound as the huge locomotive came into view. I was facing into the light on the front of the engine that was now so intense that it took a lot of effort just to face it.

There was a great disturbance from the sight and sound of this great locomotive as it came closer. Through the dust and ashes I could barely see the name on the front of the engine. Across the top was written the word "Judgment" and on the bottom was written "Mercy." As the train moved, the names would rotate so that at one time Judgment would be on the top and then it would reverse and Mercy would be on the top.

As the train came closer, I saw that the cars were not filled with gold and diamonds as I had expected, but with coal. I was disappointed because I was told that I was going to see "God's Gold & Diamond Train." Then the voice standing near my right side said, "YES! This is God's Gold Train." Then I heard the Lord Himself say, "This is My Goal Train." I then knew He was speaking of equipping and training. He then said, "There will be plenty of true diamonds and real gold after the heat and pressure that are coming." I knew that He was speaking of refining. and the passage in Malachi 3 came into my heart,

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

But who may abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness (Malachi 3:1-3 KJV).

I was then told that the coming volcanic activity near Bend, Oregon, would announce the beginning of one of the greatest healing revivals in history. This healing revival will start around Hamilton, Ontario, and then blaze across Canada to Vancouver. From there it will turn down the Northwest Coast of the U.S. and cross the Pacific to the Far East.

I was then told to spell locomotive "local-motive." The Lord said that this local area in the Northwest was a seedbed of the healing anointing that was upon John G. Lake. The sign of volcanic activity around Bend, Oregon, is that the Lord is turning up the heat, but it will bring about a refining and purifying of His people so He can release healing in the earth in an unprecedented way.

The voice which was speaking then said to me, "Have you ever seen anything like this?" I looked and saw the very top of a mountain which was covered with pure white snow. I was carried to the rim so that I could look over into the large open top of the mountain. It was filled with beautiful, clear boiling water. I knew that this was the Word of God.

The last thing I saw was a light shining on a diamond, which brought out the brilliant colors that were within the diamond.

INTERPRETATION (by Rick Joyner):

This vision began with Bobby seeing the two tracks named Truth and Spirit. These should both be given our attention in preparation for what is coming. It will take both of these to keep what is coming "on track."

He then saw the bend of the mountain pass. Mountains can have different meanings, but here I think they represent obstacles, and the pass represents a way through them. Although there are obstacles to what is coming, God wants us to know there is a way through them, on the twin tracks of Truth (the Word) and Spirit.

The next thing Bobby saw was a great "cloud of dust and steam." Steam is power that is released by heating water. This speaks of fire coming upon the Word of God to release the power to propel this train. That it is mixed with dust speaks of flesh being mixed in the steam when it first appears. (Dust often speaks of flesh, or humanity, because Adam was made from the dust.) There is usually quite a bit of flesh mixed in with moves of God when they first begin. This is because He usually has to begin with the immature who have not yet become "old wineskins," unable to contain the new wine. Movements usually become purer as they make progress, but those who have a religious spirit and refuse to be a part of anything that has "mixture" (which there always is) usually miss what God is doing altogether, and often become opposers of it. This is a warning to not be put off by the dust which is mixed in with the steam at first.

The train then made a "loud sound" as it came into view, and it caused a great disturbance. This movement will not leave things undisturbed or as they presently are. Controversy and commotion are sometimes needed just to wake people up, and we can expect a lot of it in the movement that this represents.

When Bobby first saw the train, he saw a great light coming from the front of it, which had "Judgment" and "Mercy" written on it, alternating from top to bottom. We can expect both mercy and judgment to come, but His light will show the way through both of them. Though Paul exhorted us to "Behold then the kindness and severity of God" (Romans 11:22), many can only see God's kindness, and others can only see His severity. But if we are going to see the Lord the way He really is, we must behold both. We must not be thrown off track when suddenly His mercy is turned to judgment, or vice versa. Even in his most devastating judgments, He shows mercy. Even in His greatest kindness, there is a severity.

That Bobby found it hard to stand in front of this light because it was so bright speaks of light coming that will be hard for us to stand. But it is not only a part of the purpose of God, it is showing the way.

In dreams and visions, trains often speak of "equipping" (i.e., train-ing), and that is what Bobby felt this train stood for when he was having the vision. The cars in this train represent the different churches or groups that will link together to be a part of this great movement coming. The coal in them represents the people.

You can burn coal and get a little heat and power, but burning coal releases many impurities into the air. If we are patient and allow the coal to be put under the proper pressure and heat, it will turn into diamonds that are far more valuable. This represents a choice. Are we going to consume the people with our projects and ambitions because we want heat and power now? Or are we willing to wait and allow the Lord to turn them into precious stones that will be much more valuable?

Bobby felt that the mountain he then saw was the Lord Himself. The fact that snow was at the top of this mountain speaks of mercy and purity being at the very top of His purpose. As He promised, "Come now, and let us reason together," says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool" (Isaiah 1:18). God's entire plan for mankind in this age is based upon His removal of our sin by His mercy through the cross. The goal is that we would walk in a purity that He can inhabit, so that we are a worthy bride for His Son. True redemption always brings purity.

We must also understand that our God is a Consuming Fire (see Hebrews 12:29). If we look into Him we will find the pure living water, but it is hot! We often think of living water as being cool and refreshing, but it also may be very hot. We are washed by the water of His Word (Ephesians 5:26). Baths are usually hot, and it is hot water that He is using to cleanse His church. The pool of hot water Bobby saw within the mountain also indicates the release of a new level of revelation and illumination from the Scriptures.

The last thing Bobby saw was a light shining on a diamond, which brought out brilliant colors that were within the diamond. This speaks of the Lord's ultimate purpose, to take those who now appear as mere lumps of coal and make them into diamonds whose lives will reflect His glorious truth.

The Time Is Drawing Near For This Great Outpouring!

March 10, 2003

Although this word is specifically for the Pacific Northwest, I do believe that the Lord is doing many marvelous and wonderful things throughout the earth. The Heart of the Father and His Glory are being released at this very moment in time, and many geographic locations are already experiencing, or are about to enter into seasons of revival. The Lord is wooing His Bride and one of the fresh, new impartations released from Heaven to help accomplish this is through the empowerment, activation and release of Faith, Hope and Love.

Last fall, as I drove throughout the Pacific Northwest the Lord spoke to me and said “It is time for beginning of the Great Outpouring”………

I was then reminded of a word the Lord had given me back in 1996/1997 called “An Open Vision of the Days Just Ahead” [from here]. As I reread this word, I was drawn to the section entitled “The Dam is Blown”.

[begin excerpt] “Suddenly, the Sovereign Hand of the Father reached from heaven and He positioned it over the vast mountains.

A loud shofar blew!

A battalion of tambourine players, worshippers and dancers surrounded the great mighty dam. They began to play their tambourines, sing praises and dance with great energy and diligence creating Holy Habitation.

The Sovereign Hand of the Lord then removed the three mountains in an instant and all that remained was the saints of God over a now vast land. Then a mighty clap of thunder was heard and a great lightening bolt bolted from heaven toward the vast dam!

The blast charges placed by the intercessors BLEW!

At the instant the lightning hit the top of the dam, the blast charges placed by the intercessors blew in unity. The dam crumbled and the very Throne of God was revealed.(The Heart of the Father) From God’s Throne flowed mighty rivers of blessings, restoration of lost dreams and visions and the great anointing cascaded forward toward this now open land. . .

All the saints, who were at various stages of these different seasons, were SUDDENLY DRENCHED by this mighty river and a new fresh hope and power was released into their lives. Many realized the restoration of their lost dreams, and promises, vision and purpose were restored.

This great anointing brought forth healing of sickness and disease, deliverance, signs and wonders and a new authority in the spirit realm. [End of excerpt]

I Corinthians 13:13 "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

Three Mighty Swords

As I prayed and inquired of the Lord as to what it was He was saying to the Pacific Northwest, the Lord revealed Three Mighty Swords entitled Faith, Hope and Love”. The Lord then indicated that these three swords represented heavenly provision being released to help complete the process of the various seasons that many of the Saints of God had been in, to bring forth completion and realization of long awaited wholeness, deliverance and healing, and yes empowerment and provision to enter into created purpose and destiny and to receive and realize heart’s desires (the Fullness of God).

The Three Sisters

In the distance, I could see the Father overlooking these three mountains that He had previously deemed, “The Three Sisters”, which were also known as the "Mountain of God's Refining Fire," "the Mountain of Death, Despair and Hopelessness," and "the Mountain of Transition."

As this Sudden Sovereign Act of the Lord occurred, and these Mighty Mountains were removed from the Saints lives, I could see a banner placed over the Pacific Northwest called Faith, Hope and Love.

I then saw a Mighty Army of Angelic Hosts who up to this point had been detained by the Lord; enter into the battle that was raging below. They wielded these mighty swords called Faith, Hope and Love and they were steadfast, diligent and determined to fulfill the Father’s Business. Their assignment was clear-- to help remove, hold back and close off the access points and underlying influences of the territorial and geographical principalities, powers, the rulers of darkness and spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places that were effecting the Saints lives.

A New Day for the Pacific Northwest

This was a NEW DAY for the Pacific Northwest and THIS BATTLE TRULY WAS THE LORDS! (Although the Father is intervening on behalf of His Saints, it is wisdom to daily pray and put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Pray Eph 6:10-20)

As I continued to watch, I could see breakthrough and freedom beginning to occur in individual lives and corporately. Many were loosed in the spiritual, physical, emotional, financial and relational areas from (but not limited to) the effects and influences of the following in the spiritual and physical realms: Religious spirits, jezebel, Abaddon (Hebrew)/Apollyon (Greek)-meaning destruction, death, hopelessness and despair, doubt and disbelief, the accuser of the brethren, regret, depression, deaf and dumb spirits, fear, legalism, pride, stubbornness, rebellion, deception, independent spirits and isolation, rejection, spiritual and physical abuse, sickness and disease, etc.

Side Note: (from Guidance for Deliverance by Dr. Paul Cox) Abbadon sits over a cavern or pit (Revelation 9:11) Here is where all the pain and suffering is. It is the center of the pain. He appears to hold the keys to the storehouse of blessings. The storehouse is called Faith, Hope and Love. It contains the blessings for an individual plus spiritual gift).

Sudden Acts of Redemption -

I believe that the Lord is about the business of retrieving the keys stolen by the enemy and is beginning to unlock His Storehouse of Blessings and therefore bringing restoration, cleansing and releasing of these blessings and spiritual gifts.

I then saw a mighty whirlwind of the Lord appear and it blew throughout the Land removing other influences, circumstances and things not of the Lord in the physical and spiritual atmospheres. As this wind continued to dislodge the things not of the Lord, and carry them away it began to rain. The rains came softly at first, but as time passed the rains intensified, all the while cleansing, bathing and purifying the land. As the wind and rains continued, a fresh new fire emerged. This fire was layered over the top of the rain and produced an even greater cleansing, healing and purifying anointing. The Lord had marked the Pacific Northwest as His, and He was redeeming the land for His purposes and consecrating it as Holy Ground.

Individuals who had been scaling the various mountains were some of the first to experience this new freedom. These Saints of God had overcome many testings and trials. Those that had walked this journey had undergone seasons of intense refinement, times of repentance, healing and deliverance, many had been uprooted and relocated away from families, friends, church homes, ministries, jobs, etc., enduring much pain, heartache, loneliness and isolation. Still others had suffered various forms of sickness and disease (physical, spiritual and emotional), including unknown phantom illnesses with no apparent source, and also, many of these Overcoming Saints had suffered great personal, relational, ministry and financial losses.

"Well Done, good and FAITHFUL SERVANT"

The Father smiled as He looked upon these Overcoming Saints. He was well pleased with them and I could hear Him say, “Matt 25:21 Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.”

Although many of the Saints felt less then faithful in the things of the Lord, I could see the various seeds of faith that had been planted during this time period. Some of these seeds of faith had lain dormant for only a few short days, some weeks, some months and yes, some even years. Many great and marvelous things however, had been accomplished in the spiritual and natural realms during this prior season due to the faithfulness, persistence and laboring of these Overcoming Saints of God. I then saw the Father extend an extra measure of increased favor, love, provision, blessing and acceptance unto these Overcoming Saints, with a special emphasis and reward to His Faithful Intercessors, Prayer Warriors and Prophets.

Revelation 3:12"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

As I continued to watch, I witnessed these seeds of faith, representing Creative Purpose and Destiny and Hearts Desires (Fullness of God), both individually and corporately, being revitalized from the life-giving river that flowed from the Throne of God (The Heart of the Father). These seeds then begun to grow rapidly, richly and bountifully into the things promised by the Lord. The persistence of these Saints through prayer, praise, worship and service had helped prepare the way, and it was now time to begin harvesting the ripened fruit from this long and intense season.

As the visitation continued, the Lord revealed His Mercy Seat and the His Throne of Grace, and I sensed that in 2003, the Corporate Body of Christ would enter into a new understanding and fullness of the mercy and grace of the Lord. The Father’s Heart was to release a greater understanding and measure of grace and mercy, as many of His Saints were unable to receive the love and kindness of God. It is through the loving kindness of the Lord that will help many come to repentance and bring forth the healing, deliverance, wholeness and salvation that so many are searching for.

As the influences of the enemy were removed or held back, I witnessed different kinds of veils being removed. Veils of deception were the first to be removed and a new level of truth, wisdom and understanding, council and might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord were imparted corporately.

As truth, wisdom and understanding were revealed, I could see many individuals experience “Aha” moments, “Now I see” and “Now I get it” moments as double-mindedness broke off. These individuals were transformed, healed, delivered and set free. Cycles of abuse, self-destruction and delay were broken off, relationships were restored, reconciled and redeemed, and roadblocks, hindrances and obstacles of delay were removed. What had previously been hidden was revealed and “Great Grace” and “Mercy” were imparted to redeem anything that had been missed, thrown away, aborted, robbed, stolen, destroyed or delayed.

This was a time of decision-making, a time of choices, a time of action (take the action steps the Lord tells you to) and a time of destiny releasing. This was a time to diligently seek the Lord in prayer, praise and worship and be steadfast in doing so. A time to humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, repent in areas needed (let Him search your heart and heal you) and a time to make your requests known to Him. The Father had opened a window of opportunity to bring things back into right order (Divine Order) that were out of order. With deception removed, individuals gained new understanding and insight into circumstances and situations in their lives that had kept them from advancing forward and receiving the Fullness of God. Some would be transitioning into new churches, jobs, ministries, etc. Others had the opportunity to right the wrongs of the past and bring unity and love where previously their had been division and discord. This was also, a time where there was a special grace with the Father’s Blessing, to restore key strategic relationships.

A Veil Placed BY THE LORD

Another veil worth mentioning was a veil that was placed by the Lord. This veil had kept many hidden for such a time as this. These individuals, churches and ministries had undergone intense refinement, healing, deliverance, empowerment, teaching and instruction. These that had been hidden during this time of preparation were being, or about to be divinely catapulted into position and service.

Although some felt unqualified, God said, “Qualified”, for He looked to the heart and not about natural or physical circumstances.

This was a time of increased Angelic activity, a time of divine intervention, producing divine connections, divine communications and divine networking. The Father was pouring out His Storehouse of Provision and the Economic Resources of Heaven onto Saints and throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Pacific Northwest –

Isaiah 61: 1"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon You, because the LORD has anointed You to preach good tidings to the poor; he has sent You to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, 3 To console those who mourn in Zion (Pacific NW), to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. 4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations. 5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the foreigner shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 6 But you shall be named the priests of the LORD, they shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory you shall boast. 7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs.”

Areas of Shame Being Dealt With

The Heart of this was spoken by Graham Cooke some time ago over this region, and I believe this is still true and is still a NOW word! (Side Note: There is an anointing released by Heaven to specifically target the areas of Shame in individual lives)

As the visitation continued, I then saw the words Revival in the Land, and as I looked unto the Lord who was now smiling, I began to weep tears of relief and joy. I knew in my spirit that, that which the prophets had spoken of countless times before was about to take on life and begin to be fulfilled here in the Pacific Northwest. Although, there have been some first fruits of revival, healing, deliverance, salvation and the Glory of God beginning to manifest in various “Hot Spots” throughout the Pacific Northwest, we have not yet encountered the “fullness of this true revival” that has been prophesied and promised by the Lord.

The Lord then showed me those three swords again, entitled "Faith," "Hope" and "Love."

He looked to me and said, “As these three swords are brought together to create one Marvelous, Magnificent and Beautiful Sword, it will take on a new shape and powerful form. The essence of this Mighty Sword is Unity, Love and Acceptance, and you will begin to see the fulfillment of true revival and the release of the great harvest (Bride of Christ) as this sword is wielded corporately.” John 15:1-17, Matthew 22:36-40, 1 Corinthians 13

I pondered this for a moment, and as I did I began to see walls of separation and division in the church beginning to crumble and fall to the wayside. As I watched this, I found myself saying . . .

“I choose LOVE”, “I choose LOVE”, “I choose LOVE”..…………
