DECLARATIONS for 2009 and BEYOND

It is the Year of the Woman

Women in ministry and leadership will be released globally across the Body of Christ. The two righteous seeds of Michal Ann Goll and Jill Austin have been sown into the ground and there will be a harvest of women in both spiritual and secular leadership arising to be champions of the poor, in justice, prayer and creativity flowing freely as the prophetic anointing increases in Jesus' name.

It is a Time When the 9 Gifts and the 9 Fruits Come Together

It is time for the fullness of fruit and gifts of the Spirit to come together. Character to carry the gift will be emphasized and accountability that empowers will help create new wineskins for the new wine.

It is a Time When Love Will Have a Say!

Ministerial groups will freshly come together promoting the love of God versus a political system of competition. LOVE L.A.! LOVE PHOENIX! LOVE MINNEAPOLIS! LOVE ATLANTA! LOVE DALLAS! LOVE NEW YORK! LOVE SEATTLE! LOVE CLEVELAND! LOVE NASHVILLE! (You name your city!) LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! One morning, I heard the Holy Spirit singing to me, "All we need is love!"

It is Time for the Realignment of the Nations for Good and Evil

Territorial spirits of darkness are in a time of realigning themselves. Some of the old dark ways of communism are beginning to resurface in both old and new places wedded with strong totalitarianism and militant Islam. Be alert and watchful!

It is a Time When Israel Becomes a Heavy Stone!

It is the time of Zechariah 12:1-3 when Jerusalem becomes a heavy stone for all who touch her in an ungodly manner. The jealousy of God will arise against those nations who attempt to divide Jerusalem. What God has joined together, let no man separate!

It is a Time When the Josephs are Released from Prison

Men and women tried in the fiery furnaces of testing will begin to emerge in this hour across the nations of the earth. They will have the spirit of wisdom and excellence resting upon their lives. Humility will be their outstanding characteristic in Jesus' name.

It is Time for Property Procurement

For some, it is time to purchase property, land and gold. It is a time when wise investments now will pay off later. Whole strip malls and department stores will go up for sale and the discerning and wise will purchase property (in certain situations) for a dime on the dollar.

It is a Time When the Justice Riders and the Justice Writers are Released Throughout the Nations

This will become more than the latest theme or fad in the Body of Christ. Even as the Wesleyans had their circuit riders, there will now be global justice riders who, through the influence of the pen, will undo the injustices of the past.

It is a Time When the Church Receives the Spirit of Adoption

We will receive a Spirit of adoption that will cause us to enjoy and embrace people of different backgrounds than what we are accustomed to. New faith-based adoption agencies will come into being, bringing about a solution to the abortion industry.

It is a Time When a Major Turn is Taken to Begin the End of the Worldwide Child Sex Trade Slave Industry

I have seen a major sex trade slavery ring being broken up for the glory of God in South East Asia. This will have ripple effects around the world and the dominos will begin to tumble! God has on His heart a movement where "every child has a dream fulfilled."

It is a Time for the Revival of the Resurrection of the Dead, Both Physically and Spiritually

Yes, this is the time for the revival of the resurrection of the dead to emerge. Whole churches that have been given up for dead will be revived through the Spirit of Prophecy and Intercession. People will be literally raised from the dead in various locations; the news will spread and the world will marvel.

It is a Time When the Holy Spirit Gives Out Wings to Fly Higher than You Have Ever Been Before

I hear the Holy Spirit saying, "Soar to new heights!" Yesterday's seeming defeats will be turned into tomorrow's peaks. It is time to fly higher than you have ever flown before. New heights of delighting in God are yours through authentic, pure worship.

It is a Time When the Connection Between Revelation 3:20 and Revelation 4:1 is Seen and Manifested

The key of intimacy to open Heavens is being offered. Some will take this for themselves as individuals and some for their congregation. But the Lord is looking for those who will answer the knock at the door for an entire city or region and welcome a glorious invasion of divine visitation.

It is a Time When Spontaneous Healings Break Forth in the Atmosphere of High Praise!

Electric praise will come forth and the dancing hand of God will be released to move across entire assemblies and spontaneous healings and miracles will break out. It is breakout time for the Holy Spirit where High Praises are released from His people.

I trust these few thoughts will encourage your heart and stir up your faith. We see in part and prophesy in part. Well, this is part of what I am seeing and hearing in the Spirit and I trust that it will mesh in with the part that the Lord is showing you as well!

God Bless You in 2009 and Beyond!

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.

Spokane: A River of Many Colors

I see a river, a river flowing from His throne coming from this place called Spokane. A river of many faces and races. A river of many colors. I see this river flowing into the sea, I see this river filling the Pacific Rim with fire. With fire and glory. A river of many colors flowing into the Pacific Rim with the fires of end time revival.

I see this river merging with many other rivers from other places and nations. A great river of healing and restoration is cutting the through the rocks and valleys of religion to bring rivers in the desolate heights and pools of water in the desert. I see the words Psalm 133 written on the rocks of this river. Like a river the oil is pouring from Arron's beard. And like a river shall it flow from Spokane, WA. The dew of Hermon shall come from this place Spokane. And the Lord will command a blessing.

I hear the rumbling of a shaking coming to this area as well. I hear the rumblings of a spiritual earthquake. Many seats of authority being upset and principalities usurped from their ancient places. I see the old places, the historical landmarks of church building coming alive again. I see a spark igniting in the old places steeped in tradition. I see an alliance between the pentecostals and the conservatives, like the fisherman in Luke 5 harvest will demand a greater level of unity every imagined. They will cry out to the partners in the other boats, "Come help us! We can hold such a great catch!"

I see a vast network of ministries starting in Spokane, WA. Tying the knots of fellowship throughout the Pacific North West and the world. I see a large base of operation of prayer and intercession mobilized in Spokane, WA. Similar to the World Prayer Center in Colorado Springs. A place of strategy and world evangelism. A mantle of Philip the Evangelist is settling upon the shoulders of Spokane as they invade the Samaria's of the world.

I see the word Apostolic over Spokane, WA. A apostolic headquarter for the end time Church. And like the Apostles of old their cry will be, "That I might become all things to all men that I might save some..." I will give them heart for the nations of the world. They will be city upon a hill that cannot be hid and house of prayer for all nations. A river of many colors is what I call you Spokane. A river of many colors flowing into the uttermost parts of the earth. The nations shall see it and be glad.

A Dressing Room for the Bride: Marysville, WA

December 15, 2000

I heard the Lord begin to decree and declare in and over Marysville, WA. I saw a great eagle coming over Marysville, I saw this eagle bringing on its back Timothy Sherman and I heard the Lord say, 'This is only the first of many prophets and apostles that I am landing in Marysville. They will come and go but behind them they will leave an eternal deposit of pure gold tried in the fire of My heart and passion. A gold of faith that will lay down its life for the Bride...'

I saw Marysville as a DRESSING ROOM for the Bride. A Holy place of preparation that will resound to the uttermost parts of the earth the Lord's end time desire for His church. I saw in the Eagle's beak a scroll, it was addressed to, "THE CHURCH IN MARYSVILLE." Written on it was the strategy, words and intents of Jesus for His people and His church in Marysville. Then I heard the cry of the angel of the Lord, "Who is worthy to open up the Lord's heart for Marysville, His purpose and His plan?"

Many hands went out to try and open the scroll, but it was only when all the hands of different color and denomination reached out together were they able to open up the scroll of God's heart for their city and church. Native hands, white hands, black hands, Asian hands, male and female, young and old, together they reached out and touched the Lord's heart and found what was written there. I heard the angel say again, "It is only when they come together as one will they have access into the Lord's heart and His power for their city. It is only when all hands reach together that the door of the Father's heart will be opened."

I saw a building and on its door posts was written, "JUDAH PRAISE CENTER." I saw the inside and outside of this building, I saw James Berkley and others that resided there. They were rebuilding the wall that had been torn down. They were repairing the breach and restoring the land from the desolation of many generations. Young and old and of all nationalities were rebuilding the wall, and as they built I saw the name on the door posts and now it read, JUDAH PRAISE CENTER INTERNATIONAL." The Lord had expanded the places of their habitations and strengthened their tent stakes. He had lifted up their eyes and showed them the height, width, length, and depth of the harvest. Their vision now took in the nations of the world from Marysville, WA.

PILLAR OF FIRE OVER PORTLAND

"And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night." (Num 14:14).

A pillar of fire is forming over Portland. An apostolic and eternal flame is forming over them. The eagles of destiny are beginning to gather over her. She will be a branch of Jesse, a place of international destiny, and a spiritual legacy. Those that have fathered her will bear the weight of this glory. From their loins will come many children. David's and Samuel's, a chosen generation.

Portland will be a spiritual head waters. A mouth of glory. A portal of My presence will be seen over Portland. My arch-angels are poised over her to defend its destiny. The enemy has seen the seed of revival in you and is contending over the body of Portland. But like the body of Moses I will fight for you. This year you will begin to taste the first fruits of breakthrough. I will break up the fallow ground. From you will come a new sound. It will call the nation to repentance and reconciliation. I will restore your inheritance O Portland.

This is the year of My favor. My prophetic promises will be fulfilled. You have come to full term and now you will give birth to the promise. For He that promised is faithful to perform it O Portland. The birth pangs Portland have come to fruition and the child shall be born. An anointing is coming forth. An ancient anointing of healing. The healing of the nations will come from you. You have been Hannah to Me in this season. I have heard your groanings. An anointing of Samual you are giving way too. This year it shall see its way into the earth. This year it shall bring forth its David's.

Portland, you are at a precipice of My power. You are entering a new year and a change of season. The enemy has desired to sift you as wheat but I have prayed for you O Portland. I am ever making intercession for you. I will awaken your children in the midnight hour to tear down the altars. They will invade the night with My glory and light. No dark place will be safe from My face. Now the streets will taste the first fruits of My grace. I will establish a beachhead of revival in Portland that will not be moved with the shifting of times and seasons. It will be fruit that remains.
