Great Change Coming – Winds of Change

Lisa AJ CookeDoyle

Steve Shultz and I have had many emails back and forth this year in reference to the favor of God that is being extended this year to His Beloved Bride. Below, I have gleaned prophetic conversation out of emails we have shared, and many of these things are in the teachings I have prepared as led by God over the last two years or so. Since then it seems that God has now redefined and narrowed things down to not just a general time period but to a "now" time period.

The Importance of Prayer and Intercession

God has been and is pouring out His Spirit upon His Bride, His Church, in a very powerful way, much like the Day of Pentecost – except redefined for today! It is time to run, and run well within your calls and destines to help people and release them to help as we all seek His face in intimacy. In this place of intimacy, we will all be like early warning devices for God in ways that lead us to intercession. We will be like warning devices for the Lord – with anointing to help lessen the severity of both spiritual and earthly storms, in many circumstances and situations. Now is the time to run our races and to run them well.

Joel 2:28-32 "And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved..."

At the first of this year, God said to run for Him, and that it was time to go, teach, impart and release others to become "Early Warning Devices" for the Lord themselves as God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh. If we stay in divine intimacy with God and allow Him to impart His wisdom and His understanding, then we can be led just as Elijah demonstrated (see James 5) by withholding rain and then releasing rain once again upon the earth. As he "was a man with a nature like ours," we can take faith by those demonstrations to help pray to lessen the severity of earthly storms, and yet glean through God's wisdom, the understanding of the parallel spiritual significance of such storms as they are coming and will continue to come.

These "Early Warning Devices" are all of you, the saints of God, moving into prophetic intercession with anointing to stop the raging seas, to dissipate the violent winds, to help lessen the seismic activity, and so much more. Also, it is important to yield at this time to the "still small voice of the Lord" and allow His voice to guide each of us so we may stay in His protected care, even in times of war, tribulations and extreme weather patterns that are only growing in severity. Do not be alarmed, stay in peace and remember back to 9/11: As you research, you will find miraculous stories of God's grace interworking in individual lives that day that kept many from their daily routines, whether work or play.

God has told me to continue to pray to lessen the extreme forces of the impending natural disasters and to continue in a heightened manner to pray to shield, protect and seal the saints of God in God's arms of love and in His protection through the Passover Blood of Christ.

The days of preparation are over, things have shifted and the time has come where this is now about true life and death issues and learning to listen to God, to be still and know that He is God, and then to know when to stay or when to go, which will come in peace with divine wisdom and in God's perfect timing. (I know God is speaking at those levels, His Word clearly says so in Joel 2 and Acts 2.)

Stay true to God, and know that His Word tells us that He does nothing unless He reveals it through His prophets. Friends, please understand that as I write this it is not to offend anyone but to enhance one's thinking about how to manage the words of calamity that are everywhere about destruction and not guidance. My job is not to just foretell tragedy, natural disasters, rumors of wars, etc., but to reveal these things with the intent of hope, to help each of you to pray to help lessen the degree of loss, and to encourage each of you to seek out what God would say to you individually, as God is pouring out His Spirit to not just a few but to all those that say "yes" to the call.

So I try, as I write of these things, to still bring a "message of hope" in the times we are in. We are all in need of peace with understanding of the times and seasons we are in, and God's wisdom to guide and the ability to know His instruction. I believe in the days ahead that God's direction will come quickly, and He will provoke us into action if we allow Him to. That can save our lives, or with a call to partner in prayer, can save the lives of many. The "prayers of the saints" can and have withheld tsunami waters back, lessened seismic activity, and have caused divine intervention to be given to those within a danger path – divine grace shifting them to another place of safety at the right time so they should live and not die.

So yes, I believe in the power of prayer and in the divine guidance of the Lord, and I believe today in the workings of the covenant of grace here on earth. I believe this nation is still in God's good graces in so many ways. I believe that God has said that we are entering into a time of extended favor of God, and that translates to us (His children), who have answered His call and said "yes" to the invitation of the Lord.

This invitation, as we accept it, will allow us to enter into what God has told me is the "The Beginning." What we need to know right now is that we have the opportunity of choosing to "partner" with God during this most unprecedented time of favor that He is extending to His saints that will allow us (the United States) to become a part of "history in the making."

Great Change Coming – Winds of Change

In this article, I speak directly about a time upon the earth where God extends His blessing and the miraculous, which brings "Great Change – the Winds of Change"; this includes unprecedented favor, healing, deliverance and anointing to overcome the hardships of the yesteryears, and the ability to enter into the goodness of God in the tomorrows that are to come and also in the presents/presence of today.

My intent is to bring hope that God is on the Throne and that the "tears and the cries of the saints" are and have been heard by God and that the time of the evil taskmasters in many ways is coming to an abrupt end (doors open that no one can shut, as God's exposure is being unveiled all over the earth). Here I share specific revelations and the dates I received them:

Revelation received April 23, 2011: The other night, as I was abruptly awoken and stirred to rise, I tried to get up, but when I did I began falling side to side and back and forth. If you would have seen me on camera you would have thought that I was in the middle of an earthquake falling back and forth from one wall to another. Believe me, I have been heavily praying that God would significantly lessen the seismic activity and also tame the tornadoes. God told me tornadoes in the natural are a supernatural sign, specifically this year, that would mark the beginning of the "Great Winds of Change." Those tornadoes would be a sign in the natural that would be a parallel in the spirit and would mark a definite, strategic signpost on the prophetic timetable.

Revelation received April 4, 2011: In those "Winds of Change," God's justice will be SWIFT, and it will come and is coming like a raging fire. I see a fire hail storm. I see large, very large, tornadoes that are both black and white and carry these GREAT WINDS OF CHANGE. Yes, there will be harm and there will be devastation, but this time period will also carry a message of hope to God's children that it is time for sudden, sovereign change.

During this time, God has and is sealing His saints in protection, bringing divine order, blessing them financially, while supplying divine safety nets for those that have gone astray and yet are lassoed by God through prayers of family members to protect, shield and bring the prodigal sons, daughters, wives and husbands home and to set the captives free. There are armies of angelic hosts all around the world, occupying around us to protect us, to shield us, as Psalm 91 states.

There is also a call and an announcement of the Lord upon the earth at this time, and that call says this: "Amnesty." In that amnesty, there is given to us God's signet ring, which gives us the authority to pray and remove and to invalidate the prior decrees that are not of God and are not of good report that have been placed upon individuals, churches, ministries, businesses, governments, geographic areas, etc. – and to now exchange those prior decrees with new decrees that release the saints who are sealed "for such a time as this."

The Time of Justice Has Come

Revelation received April 23, 2011: For it is now time for God's justice to fall upon the earth, and for His kids and His warrior Bride to be accompanied by the armies of the Lord, for they are being sent to fix all things that must be fixed and finish all things that must be finished. For the gavel of the Lord has been raised and brought down, and it is time for justice so that God's children will be released, healed up, resourced, prepared and sent. It is time for God to clean house and to weed out the bad and replace with what is good, right and pure.

The time has also come where God is intervening and opening the Books of Remembrance of His Church and His saints. He is divinely intervening so that the fulfillment can come for His Kingdom and for each of us, through fulfillment of dreams, visions and realization of purpose and destiny. You are in God's Book of Remembrance, and it is time for those "suddenlies" of the Lord to come to those that have been sacrificed in many ways as modern-day martyrs, to those who have been champions of faith, and to those that have championed God's love and His truth.

The Time of Exposure Has Come

Revelation received April 23, 2011: A positive thing that parallels the shattering truth of the violent wind that has raged throughout our country is that God said He was coming with "His Winds of Change" – and He is exposing the truth that has been hidden, and He is bringing exoneration and help to His kids. He has said to me that the time of the harsh taskmasters is over. Even with these current and violent army of twisters that are occurring today, God is also working parallel in the Spirit to loose the saints from the grasp of the enemy. He told me, "The sleeper has awakened," meaning His Church at large.

It is time for the Church to arise and take her rightful place. No longer will God tolerate the abuse of those that oppose His children, and no longer will the ruthless and the proud hurt those who cannot fight. Vengeance is the Lord's, and we must posture ourselves in a way to let God champion us. In doing so, we must find that safe place in intimacy with the Lord and humbly go to Him, and say, "Here I am, Lord. I submit to You all these things that have gone unresolved because of the extreme opposition that we have faced."

Yes, this nation is still very much so under the covenant of grace, yet the winds of change are here and there is no going back.

In prayer, God said to me the word "Enough." We must look at our lives and see where there are relationship issues and purposely ask the Lord what to do; we must ask Him to intervene, to help rebuild what is good, pure, true and holy. The rebuilding that is coming is after the shaking. The shaking must come so that the rebuilding can follow, and no man, woman or child is exempt. We have entered into a time in the prophetic age of the Church where, yes, there is still grace working within those who have accepted Christ, but the government of God has dropped the gavel and what was open has closed or is about to close for good.

As other prophetic voices have stated along with myself, and even the scientific community is beginning to warn, we are to expect more earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic activity, tornadoes, hurricanes and perhaps early flooding this year; more mine-collapsing, more bridge-collapsing, and perhaps further nuclear issues will result from the things that are coming, in order to shake things up so that truth can be known and exposed. These things are coming, and this is a wake-up call from Heaven; we need to pray for this nation and our governmental leaders and other world leaders as well, because the King of Glory is coming. It is time that we as individuals and those that are leaders, recognize the divinity and providence of the Lord and of our King of Kings.

Those who are the evil taskmasters and have abused God's sheep (His kids) and killed for sport and so much more, those are the "veils of deception" that are coming down; God is avenging His kids and the world is taking notice at all levels. We all are coming out of the "Age of Slumber" and into the beginning of the end. Now, I do not speculate on what that end is, as there are many chapters in God's book, so I will not read into that, but I will take note at the severity of the word and what in the natural we do know. We do know this: "The Church and the sleepers are awakening for such a time as this."

During this time, the shaking will break free what previously was not exposed, and no one right now can escape the divinity of God and His sovereignty. I believe that the Holy Spirit has said that those who are guilty of crimes, whether war crimes or corporate crimes, will be exposed. I see serial killers and those evil warmongers who oppress the weak and like to torture innocent victims exposed. I know God is coming, and He is avenging the innocent that have been hurt, harmed and violated.

The Gavel Has Been Slammed Down

Revelation received April 23, 2011: God's wrath has been loosed and we will begin to see more fully the unveiled truth that was once shielded but now known. I believe God said that we will see the exposure of "the evilness and true motives of individual hearts." There are those things that are right that the enemy has tried to bring down, but has not been successful against, that will come into a sudden, sovereign favor of God almost overnight. Those ministries and or businesses lost, as once so thought, will be resurrected and made right and whole once again through God's justice and His providence.

I pray often for a hedge of protection around God's kids and to seal them for such a time as this. I say prayers to free those who are imprisoned within bodies that do not work or minds that do not think right. I pray that MIAs would be found, released and divinely healed in their prison cells so that they come out of imprisonment and tell the stories of how the Lord came with His glory and brought peace and healing and helped keep them safe from further harm or neglect.

I pray that our enemies would be found, like Bin Laden (more on him below) and his allies, and that God would expose those who are not as they seem they are. The enemy has tried to close God's Churches and His parachurch ministries, and the enemy has tried to kill, steal and destroy covenant relationships within marriages, within leadership teams, within families, and within non-profits that set out to help the "greater good." He has loosed a great spirit of Civil War within this nation where brother is against brother and sister is against sister.

Those who have been the harsh taskmasters, the evil rulers and the heads of state worldwide, who have abused God's sheep and killed for sport, who have spilled innocent blood for play, who have lied purposely for personal gain, seduced and killed and so many other things so that they may have greater riches, control and power that bring with it oil, diamonds, and mineral rights – they are put on alert by God the Father, and the heavenly hosts are waiting and watching for the command of the Lord, for the gavel has come down and God has said, "Enough!" Those are the veils of deception that are coming down. God is avenging His kids, and the world would do well to take notice at all levels of those things transpiring in the natural through war, extreme weather patterns, celestial events, etc.

God said to me boldly and in a tone that shook me, "This is the end of the beginning." I hear these things to pray for and to watch out for, so as not to lose covenant relationships, nor be duped in investments, and then I pray specifically for these key places that God has put within my heart: individuals, corporations (business, investments and banking with true values stated and no things omitted), families (brothers and sisters in the Lord included), friends, loved ones, marriages, alliances. Praying for government is huge, and those who lie will be found out here in this country, and in England, Egypt, Costa Rica, Brazil, and in Spanish-speaking agencies and countries.

I also just heard the word "balderdash," which means senseless talking or writing, and nonsense. It reminds me of when God changed the languages because of the tower of Babel.

The Time Has Now Come

Revelation received April 23, 2011: I know this, that a death angel is being loosed, and this one in particular along with those that ride with him are not just about physical death, but death of fortunes, death of relationships, death of family, of those that abuse God's sheep and kill, rob, destroy, etc. There will be death and exposure to those that hate America and who are trying to make her fall.

Revelation received April 23, 2011: Bin Laden's number is up, and I hear exposure to those military types like him who hate America and want to destroy her. Also, that death angel does not show mercy, for it will ride hard and ride until it finds the things that those guilty love the most. That death angel will do away with those relationships or prize possessions as a way to bring fiery coals upon their heads until they repent and change their ways. If they choose "No," it will get uglier for them. Remember, it is God's place to judge; ours is to pray and occupy, to help God as He leads.

On a side note: In 2002, I was watching a hilarious movie with some Christian friends of mine and God interrupted me in a major way. At that time I was always carrying a pen and paper with me as God's revelation was flowing fluently to me; it was a time of revelation and a time of scribing. The revelation came strong, and so I began to write as I was strongly compelled by God and the Holy Spirit was relentless and would not rest until I wrote the vision down.

While in the room with my friends watching a movie, I was translated in the Spirit and I saw a lady dressed much like a Pakistani woman would look I believe, with layered clothing and a veil. She walked the top of a wall that was either a wall around a city or perhaps an area, but as I saw her look to me, I heard God say, "You will find Bin Laden in Pakistan, and he is hidden well. There are those in many governments that know where he is that are on his payroll and they are paid well," the emphasis on "many governments."

That began a birthing of a key component in my own prayer life and in others' as well. The new key component that God called for was this: to pray for exposure, for the truth to come, and to root out our enemies within this nation, abroad and those plants or spies within our government or those of our allies. I prayed for exposure and truth to remove the walls of deception and to bring the truth that will stop innocent bloodshed, remove the harsh taskmasters, and protect this nation against the Judases already here and that are rooted deep within some of our allies.

God also said He was releasing anointing upon the earth to bring suddenlies that would bring wholeness, good health, and prosperity to complete our destinies and purpose; restoration, redemption, and reconciliation of divine and covenant relationships; and new relationships at just the right time that He wants us to be ready for so as not to lose them. This would come accompanied with God's favor and His resources so that we can fulfill His divine call upon our lives, which brings with it protection, position, provision and His signet ring of authority.

I prayed that the United States would carry this anointing He was releasing and that the Judases would be exposed, their evil plans thwarted, hidden agendas found out and stopped, exposure of those that call themselves our allies but are not, and exposure to those that call us friend but are really our foes. This means even within our own government, military, and even in the corporate businesses of America and abroad, and more. God's voice was clear then and is today. No MORE!

God is not a harsh taskmaster, nor does He give His kids bad gifts but only the best – and for some reason that is BIG for His Church today. We can trust God, for He is a good God.

For those of you that have lost your way due to whatever reason, I pray for you that you would have grace to forgive those that may have wounded you in God's government and to restore you to your first love as God divinely guides you.

If there are those of you reading this that have walked away, the word I have for you is "Grace, and be forgiven," and now come unto the Father through the Son and enter back into the family of the Lord. For you I particularly pray for divine intervention, so you may be gently restored and put back into work for God today, in Jesus' name, amen.

God Teaches Us to Pray in These Troubling Times

God still loves America and I know things are happening here too, but we can pray to lessen the air strikes against us and those that fight with us, with Israel and God's people worldwide, and continue to ask God to seal us all in these times of trouble. Teach us to pray, Lord, so we may know what to do and where to go if for some reason something might hit where we live. We must prepare, but I still think we are okay where we are here, for the most part, in the Pacific Northwest.

For those of you who do not have great time to spend with God as you would like, please know this: God gauges action by the intent of the heart. "Do not worry," I hear; God so loves you more then you know. Keep harvesting, as we are all called to bring in the Great Harvest; people are ready to learn, to be blessed and to be comforted in the new found hope of Christ, where their families can find refuge in times of despair and then sojourn with us (the Body of Christ) as we all navigate together in these troubling times.

I truly believe that people, whether backslidden or unsaved, are getting a wake-up call and are beginning to understand the need for God and that there is a gaping hole of despair within them. As things in the world become darker and that of greater light becomes more prevalent, then there is no more room for gray. There is a separation occurring in the natural and in the spiritual at this time. God's light and the Light of Heaven, as it moves into the earth realms, will encroach upon the darkness and cause it to be as unto nothing.

The supremacy of God and His glory cloud has and is descending upon the earth in many places and is multiplying. It is so much more prevalent and beginning to shine more brightly at this time, as it is TIME. When this occurs in the natural, we know that light encroaches upon the darkness and the darkness must retreat, thereby making way for the sunrise (Sonrise).

In writing all this, I am teaching what I can to help the Church prepare and to know what the signs are to look for and how to train yourself to hear God's voice and recognize the times and seasons, including that of what the atmosphere feels like before the extreme weather patterns occur even across the world. You all have been trained and have stored up prophetic promises, and I believe it is time to pull them down off the shelf and get busy. My goal is to help motivate, edify, and encourage you and to provide HOPE amidst today's challenges, that you would first and foremost keep your eyes on the Cross of Christ and remember His commandments to love God and love one another, as the Scripture says that the law of the prophets is based upon that. Love rules.

Be Watchful

Yes, I am watching the Pacific Northwest and other places of the world, as God has called me to be a watchperson on the wall among other things, much like you. Yes, I am sounding the alarm today to each of you and it is this: Will you run for God this year and in the year that follows? Are you ready to discover what it is like to be an ordinary person living an extraordinary life? Are you ready to run in the gifts and the talents that God has given to you? And finally, are you ready to fight the good fight of love – with God's royal, lavish love for His Bride, meaning you and me, and everyone else who is God's child?

Much love and rich blessings for each of you and all whom you represent. Let today be a turnaround day for each of you so that your own lives and those of your families now turn and overcome the obstacles in the miraculous favor of God. "For it is time" for the saints to not only prevail but to enter into the call of unity and to move into extreme discipleship of the Lord where we will be shielded, protected, cared for, resourced, loved, favored, honored and respected. For those behind closed doors that were once shut to the Gospel of God – this is for you, my friends, and for your family, friends and loved ones.

So let us run with God, and let all of us let go AND LET GOD! Bless you, and may God bring you all you need and so much more.

You're Invited to a Party!



You’ve been invited to a party. This is a party of the Church, but it is not a church event. You’re invited to a celebration of the Church among the community, in the highways and byways of the community, the places where my children who don’t yet know my love are gathering. Wherever and whenever these lost children are gathered, that’s the place for my Church to bring my Party.

There will be some who don’t understand, who see the joy that you carry, and they interpret it in the light of the things that they’ve turned to, the crutches that they’ve used to create whatever joy or happiness they have felt. They will be drawn to My party, too.

When you go, go together. Go with leaders. Go with evangelists. Go with prophets. Go in community. Bring the community that is your family into the gathering places in the community where you live.

I have already been preparing my lost children for your arrival. They know what a party is, and they welcome more partygoers. And they already know that they need purity, and that they need to go to a higher level to find it, but the way to it is not known to them. So I am calling you to model purity: I am calling you to innocence, to humility, to vulnerability, to transparency among them. Do not come in among them with the trappings of a religious culture. Do not come in with a little clique, being near them but not among them. Rather open yourselves to them.

I am already drawing people to you, people from your past and from distant relationships. They have come at My invitation, to be drawn in. Family members, old friendships, lost relatives: expect to be surprised as I bring them to you in this place, in this context. Some of those I am bringing to the party have walked with me for many years, and have fallen. Some have never walked with me. Welcome them all.

Already, you will have noticed my anointing increasing among you, and my presence will continue to increase. Know this: I am calling you to stand. I am calling you to the party, but I am calling you to stand in my anointing, that you may be able to withstand the evil of the day, and that when you have done everything, you will still be standing, that your light will still be shining in the darkness, that you will still have your eyes fixed on me.

If you will join my party, if you will bring your celebration to the highways and the byways, I myself will bring to you a radical anointing for evangelism, for signs and wonders. But hear this warning: some will not welcome that anointing, having been offended or become fearful, and should they decline to receive that anointing, they will also decline to welcome my presence.

So hear my call. Come to my party. Come in purity, in humility; come with open arms, and welcome the ones I send to you, and I will be among them.


In December, 2009, Denise Hayes had a dream rich with symbolism, which she submitted to a prophetic team for interpretation. This is not the dream, but the interpretation of the dream.

Storms in the Pacific

This is a historic moment for your nation. And you know, like a prophet, when I began to hear what Bob Jones was releasing, when he mentioned Canada, then I knew in my Spirit that Coral and I were here by divine appointment. And many of you don’t know seven years ago, exactly seven years ago, I ordained Todd Bentley with Bobby Connors in our church and the Lord has used him in a powerful way. But I believe that what is happening here tonight, this afternoon, is even bigger than that.

This is something about the mandate of the Lord for this nation. This nation, like a huge war ship, has been turning around for seven years, and the enemy has positioned his armament against this nation to take it down and the only answer for this nation is the church of Jesus Christ rising up again. This afternoon I was saying to my wife – aause I gotta preach tomorrow – I said “well maybe we should leave,” and she said “no let’s just wait for a moment.” I sensed that apostolically, the climax, that we didn’t come to it yet. I think that when Prophet Bob was sharing his heart, something was released in the Spirit. A shift happened and I believe that there’s a release right now for what God wants for this nation. It’s already shifting in the Spirit but we must be careful to turn our hearts to the Lord, and to Him alone.

This nation has not been lost yet. The purpose for this nation has not been lost yet. The hope that is in the heart of God for this nation is being released back into the apostles and the prophets and the church is rising up in this hour. So I’m going to ask you to stand as we release this word this afternoon because this is the key that the Lord has given.

I’m gonna share this with you: It was August of 2005. We were driving down to Texas and the Lord spoke to me a very clear word. He said, “Keith, there are some things coming on this nation, on the United States of America and I want you to prepare yourself to make a shift into this nation.” I shared this with Joe briefly just this last week. He says, “the church must be awakened,” he says, “because there are plots of terrorism and super storms are going to come against this nation that the church alone can stop.”

And he says “the key to this is going to be released through worship.” See sometimes we think we worship God and then we have to do things. He says “when they worship me, to the point where my glory comes into the place then whatever I release into the hearts of the apostles and prophets, what they speak, will be creative to make the shift happen in Spirit that will manifest in the church and in the land.” There’s so much power that’s available to the church, amen?

Now just lift your hands for a moment, let’s just begin to worship the Lord… “Surely,” says the Spirit of the Lord, “that this is an appointed time for this nation” says the Lord, “for there have been those who have gone before you, there have been those who have labored in prayer, there have been those who have prophesied over this land,” says the Spirit of the Lord, “but there have been storms that have come against you, there have been storms that have come against your government, there have been storms that have come against your land, and there have been storms that have come against the church in this land,” says the Lord.

But the Lord says “lift up your eyes and begin to look out over the Pacific for there is a new storm that is a brewing over the Pacific,” says the Lord “and the storm is by my Spirit!” says the Lord “for the winds are beginning to increase, the winds are beginning to blow.” And the Lord says “The winds of the storm that I have created out in the Pacific Ocean are coming towards this land.”

For the Lord says “that which I have desired to do in this nation shall break forth in a shaking and a breaking loose even in this state” says the Lord. “For I have called forth the leaders to rise up. It is I who have placed my hand upon my sons and daughters, and raised up out of the earth of this state, those who would walk with authority as apostles and prophets” says the Lord. “And yes, this is my doing, for it’s I who is bringing them together, it is I who is networking them together, it is I who is bringing together the alliance that shall be joined to the nations of the world.

But the Lord says “I have chosen this part of the United States of America. I have chosen the Northwest.

For many men have said ‘oh no, there is no church that is strong in the Northwest, the Christians are divided in the Northwest, nothing can come out of the Northwest!’” And the Lord says “I have picked it. I have chosen it. I have chosen that out of this place will come the fires of revival, and a movement, of the apostolic that will break forth the river of life that will flow throughout the United States of America and into Canada and down into Mexico.”

And the Lord says “and the move of my Spirit that will begin in this place will go around the world. Once again, there shall be a release in this place” says the Lord “and even today,” says the Lord, “because of your hearts and coming before me, I release a new wave of my Spirit, and of my presence, and of my authority upon you.”

And the Lord says “even today, call forth the apostles from these cities, call forth the apostles from these regions and allow them to decree that which I have placed in their hearts.” For the Lord says “It shall increase the intensity, it shall increase the breakthrough that I have ordained to begin even today in this place” says the Spirit of the Lord.

And so Father we release that right now. We speak release of that right now. Lift your voice and begin to give God praise…

NOTE FROM SHAARON: This word really struck a chord with several people. For me it applies to some current circumstances in my business life. I personally don't get hung up on strictly marking the next 40 days on the calendar, or on throwing myself into intense "spiritual warfare"... but rather on seeing what God seems to be saying in general for this season. But hey, that's just my take on it! Apply it as YOU feel!

The Voice of Change is Stirring Us to Come UP from the Wilderness!
A Prophetic Word By Chuck Pierce
Thursday, March 6, 2008


We are heading into two of the most rearranging, realigning months that we have ever known in the history of this generation. What occurs during these days will set a course for our lives and this nation. The Lord woke me at 1 o'clock on Tuesday morning. As I walked into the bathroom I noticed a calligraphy verse: "Lean not on your own understanding." This verse lit up even though the light was not on in the bathroom. The verse became red and yellow like fire. When I went back in at 5 AM, I noticed that the verse was actually in navy blue!

I heard the Lord begin to say: "Lean not on your own understanding today. I am calling you to watch the way that begins to form! For I am forming and reforming the way for My people! Abrasive circumstances will increase over these next 40 days. Lean not on your own understanding. I will show you things that you do not know during this time. I will cause you to see the pattern that I am forming. Do not fall into an understanding of the past, even the past 40 years, for in the next 40 days I am producing a new time of understanding in My people. For My wisdom is not your wisdom. I am creating a fear and an awe of Me! I will show you how evil is working. I will let you hear the voice of evil - that voice that has been distracting, confronting, and taunting you. My cause will rise up in you. My words will form in your mouth. You will speak it to the atmosphere and the atmosphere around you will change. I am forming a highway in your wilderness. It will not be made of shifting sand. The foundation for your future is being laid. I will cause you to see the land that will be made sure for you. Lean not on your own understanding. Allow these next 40 days to be that which will change the atmosphere from one of a mesmerizing force to the power of God in your midst. Honor ME with a shout! Bless My Name. For My name is replacing the name of the enemy on the gates of entry into your future. Where the enemy had your gate blocked, I am now rising up to give you authority and entry into your new place!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me and I will direct your path. Do not just look at your circumstances - do not lean on your own understanding! Keep your mind stayed upon Me. Do not allow your abilities to be your trust. I will create a strong people that will rule in every sphere of authority. Spheres of authority will be rearranged in these next 40 days. The power of My words in your mouth will cause a break through. Don't miss your window of opportunity or fail to recognize the catalyst I am creating for rearranged momentum. Receive an anointing to leap over the mountain that has been deceiving and intimidating you.

"Don't be afraid of your storm this week for I will reorder your way and will cause your times to be changed. I'll set you ahead of that which would overtake you and cause you to be overwhelmed. So don't fear the storm. Watch the rain and wind work to your benefit! Hear the keys shaking, for I am rattling the gates of hell. Decree the blockade that wouldn't open up and let you move forward, even in your emotions, is being unlocked and that you are now able to move forward.

"Your path will become straight so that I might enter a new way. What is too high will come down and that which is too low will come up. I can bring the prideful into right order and bring the humble into a new place of seeking. I am creating a straight path for us to walk into the future. May you see the path on which I will lead you into the future. Allow Me to come into your midst and prepare a way through this wilderness and into your next place. I control the end from the beginning. There is nothing that happens in the earth realm that is outside of MY dominion. Agree that My will will be done on earth as it is in heaven this day. Look up and see Me as the King who reigns. See Heaven's highway forming in the earth realm around you. I am not asking you to go under, but to come up! Find the high way into the place that I have for you.

"Hear My voice in the wilderness. Though you have been unsure of the way you are to go, today I am beginning to call you new and fresh. This is a time when you must not miss that window of momentum. Do not be content to only sit and be taught every day because teaching alone will not get you to your next place. You must have the anointing to leap over that mountain. My call is being extended from the heavenly realm. War for the next 21 days to see My call come forth. Those that will hear the call that I have for them this hour know how to follow after the call that I am extending. This is not about a person you are following but a call that I am placing to set a course for you out of one place and into another. Hear the call! My voice is entering into your valley and your wilderness and saying, 'Come up with me!'

"Now is the time of restructured vision. Now is the time of finding your place to stand on the land, a place that will not sink when you stand, a land that will not confuse or entrap you. Hear My voice in your wilderness. For in 40 days, I will begin to qualify those that have received and embraced My call! Do not allow the enemy's voice to confuse you in the next few days. You will be accosted by the enemy three times to keep you from finding and standing firm on the highway that I am forming to bring you through and into your new! Watch carefully and know the different voices this hour. Voices will bring confusion into your atmosphere. In the midst of this time you must know what you are to follow. This is a time when confusing voices over your financial state and the state of the world would create a disheartening emotion that would lead to fear. I am the God of the gold and silver. I am the one who can shake loose new finances. I am the one who can cause things to be let go so you can move in and go through the gates I have for you. Do not let a narrow, high path in front of you seem to be too steep for you to climb. I am making a straight path and causing you to be directed in a new way these next 40 days.

"You have never been this way before. Nations are hanging in the balance! My Kingdom government will now begin to rise up and form to influence the government of the earth. I am a God who creates a Highway that can only be seen by eyes who know My glory. You will know me as King and ruler. I confounded the gods of Egypt. I confounded the Roman Empire.

"Let Me form the words in your mouth to confront those things that would keep you from finding the highway I have prepared in the wilderness. Only My voice can guide you through and to this narrow road! In the midst of these three confrontations, NOW I am forming the words for you to use to stop your enemy from overtaking you. This is a corporate call for My people to rise up. In this corporate call you must be a people who knows how to confront the atmospheric war around you.

"I am raising up an abrasive time that will provoke you and produce My jealousy in you so you rise up with a new war mantle against the forces of hell in your midst. I will raise the abrasion! I will provoke MY people to action. Wake from your slumber and stupor and hear Me now to come forth! Do not lean on your own understanding. Go with My flow and watch Me make a direct path. Watch Me cause a path to come into order.

"Renew the foundation. I am ready to build again. I will begin to build your future. Activate that way that I am calling you. Do not fear going into the brush and the brambles to find the hidden treasure that you will use to build My altar this hour. Today I am activating you. The intensity of the time is now upon you. I am activating you and calling you to hear what is coming into your atmosphere. Be delivered from a deaf and dumb spirit that would keep you from speaking and hearing at the right time.

"Rise up and create a path. Change an atmosphere and you will be able to take a stand in that land. Let Zion call forth. I am calling forth to Zion within you to rise up. Prepare for a quick change. Prepare for a quick change. Write the vision. Make it plain. Prepare for a quick change. I am calling for a new release of power over these 40 days. Do not lean on your own understanding. Go in My direction to create a power shift!"

Bill Hamon: The Beginning of the Third and Final Apostolic Reformation

This word is not specifically about the Pacific Northwest; however it has specific application to our region, and it lines up with many other words we're hearing in the region. -Editor

The
Lord Jesus has revealed by His Spirit some insight and application concerning His timely purpose being activated in 2008. I have been prophesying for 10 years that a "Saints Movement" is coming to the Body of Christ. The Saints Movement is a time when the saints, believers in Jesus Christ, recognize and act on the understanding that Christ has empowered and commissioned each of them to be the Church 24/7--manifesting the Kingdom of God wherever they live and work. Every believer has the ability to manifest the supernatural in a miraculous way, and every saint is called to demonstrate the Gospel of the Kingdom (not just the Gospel of salvation) in their sphere of influence.

In my book, The Day of the Saints, I prophesied what would be many of the truths and ministries of the Saints Movement. Some of these include: every saint manifesting the supernatural; ministers in the marketplace and in all arenas of society; saints becoming the Church 24/7; and people of all ages becoming activated as ministers for Christ. In the last several years, we have seen these things happening in the Body of Christ, such as through the increased emphasis of signs, wonders and miracles and of ministry in the marketplace (sometimes called the "Faith at Work" Movement or other similar terms).

A New Era of Reformation

Now in 2008, God has brought new revelation and application. The Saints Movement is the catalyst to launch the Church into the Third and final Apostolic Reformation. The First Apostolic Reformation occurred in the 1st century with the launching of the era of the New Testament Church. The Second Apostolic Reformation, which is known to historians as the Reformation, transitioned the Church from the "Dark Ages" to beginning the period of the restoration of the Church (see Acts 3:21).

This Reformation will bring about a paradigm shift in the goal and purpose of the Church. Most Evangelical and Pentecostal theologians see no purpose for the Church other than to win more souls to Christ so they are made ready for Heaven. Now we are receiving revolutionary, reformed thinking from the heart and mind of God. The expanded goal and vision of the Third Reformation Church is to co-labor with Christ in His passionate desire for the fulfillment of Revelation 11:15:

"...there were loud voices in Heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!'"

The Purpose of God for This Time

The First Apostolic Reformation and purpose of God was for Jesus to shed His life's Blood for the salvation of sinners. God was in Christ Jesus reconciling the world unto Himself by purchasing them with His Blood and making them members of His Body of Christ, the Church.

God's Second Apostolic Reformation and purpose was to restore and build His Church to the full maturity and ministry of Christ Jesus. This is accomplished through Christ's fivefold ministers, of which the last two, prophets and apostles, were restored to recognition and began fully ministering during the Prophetic-Apostolic Movement, from 1988 to the present. Apostles and prophets have existed throughout Church history but often weren't recognized or allowed to fully function. The fivefold ministers are for the purpose of equipping the saints to demonstrate Christ's Kingdom--the Saints Movement.

Christ's Third Apostolic Reformation and purpose is to use His restored Church to fulfill God's original mandate to mankind--subdue all things, take dominion and fill the earth with a mankind race in God's own image and likeness, bring more and more of God's Kingdom and will to earth, and transform nations into sheep nations (those who do the works of Christ. See Matthew 25:31-46). This is the end result of the saints taking the Gospel of the Kingdom into every aspect of society.

The Timing

2008 is the year of new beginnings. It is the beginning of the new Third and final Apostolic Reformation. This Third Reformation will bring as much transition and fulfilling of God's purpose as the First and Second Reformation did. We have been prophesying and interceding about this shift for many years. It is with firm conviction that I believe this is now the time for it to fully be underway. Whenever a move of God occurs, there is much action and anticipation ahead of time, during the "birthing" process, and even greater activity afterwards. In later years, historians pick a date they consider to be the "official" start of that new move. Many currents were headed toward Reformation prior to the year 1517, and several key things happened after that date, but 1517 is the year chosen by historians to signal the beginning of that major move.

I believe and am declaring that 2008 is God's set time for the full release of the Third Reformation. At Christian International, we saw a birthing of the Saints Movement at our Watchman Intercessor Conference in April 2007, as prophesied by Cindy Jacobs, one of the speakers that week. I witnessed to that word and was glad we have finally seen it. It coincides with one interpretation of the 490 years (70 weeks x 7 days per week = 490, with each day symbolizing a year) that Daniel prophesied concerning the time period to the coming of the Messiah and ushering in the Church (see Daniel 9). Many believe this is also the period of time from the beginning of the restoration of the Church to the time when all presently restored truth and ministries would be activated into fulfilling God's end time purpose.

Church historians designated the year 1517 as the birth date of the Protestant Movement, which was the beginning of the period of Church restoration. AD 1517 + 490 years = AD 2007. This time period covers all the restoration movements from the Protestant Movement through the present Prophetic-Apostolic Movement to the birthing of the Saints Movement in 2007. Others may have their own views on interpreting this Scripture, but I believe it is clear that God's Spirit is saying this is a very significant time.

Receive God's Grace to Participate

In 2008, God is releasing special supernatural grace and power to those who are willing and ready for Church Reformation. They will be those who demonstrate the Kingdom of God for the transformation of nations. Expect to hear much preaching and see many books being written on the saints taking dominion, the Kingdom of God, transformation, wealth for Kingdom purposes, the Third and final Apostolic Reformation, and God's purpose for His Church, His Kingdom and planet earth.

All of the hundreds of apostles and prophets that I know around the world are sensing and saying the same thing, although some may use different terminology to express these things. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of understanding and participating in the major transition and new thrust of the Holy Spirit taking place in the Church today. As the leader of Christian International, we are gathering our leaders and ministers in early March (open to all) to strategize how to best position ourselves to cooperate with this great move of God, and I encourage others to do the same.

A Word of Wisdom Regarding End Times

I want to add a word of wisdom to all who read this. All Christendom, from Catholics to Charismatics, believe in the second coming of Christ--when He will translate the bodies of the living saints and resurrect the bodies of those who have died. The a-millennialists and post-millennialists believe this all happens at one coming of Christ at the end of the Church Age. The dispensational pre-millennialists believe in two comings, one for the Church and one for the general resurrection, and then the great white throne judgment.

Most see a seven-year period between Christ coming FOR the saints and Christ Jesus coming back WITH the saints. Some believe the Church will be resurrected and translated to Heaven at the beginning of those seven years, some believe it will happen three and a half years later, and some believe it will occur at the end. The wonderful and amazing thing is all of them teach that the saints are coming back to join the reign of Christ's Kingdom over all the earth. Regardless of the different eschatological beliefs, all Christians will end up back on the new earth, where all the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ.

Make the Transition

Those whom Jesus has made kings and priests unto God shall be the overcomers who reign with Christ on the earth. Please do not get stuck arguing and debating over what will happen during the seven years. Let us set our vision and goal beyond those seven years to Revelation 11:15. It is the time to give all of our life and labor to be co-workers together with Christ in demonstrating and enforcing His Kingdom in all the earth. We will not cease until we can join the voices in Heaven victoriously, declaring that the kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of our Lord Jesus and His anointed one, the Church.

2008 is a historical time for the Church. Be an overcomer and make the transition. Allow nothing to keep you from being a participant in this day of divine visitation and reformation. Begin now to earnestly pray, prepare and work for God's Kingdom to come, and His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen and Amen.

Yours in Christ,

A Vision of a Man in a Race Car…He's Ready to Go

This word is not specifically about the Northwest, but I believe that there is much in this word for our region. In other words, it's my judgment – feel free to come to your own – that this is part of His call on our region. –Editor

Since the start of this year, a vision keeps coming back to me. I keep seeing a vision of a man sitting inside a race car, wearing a helmet and racing outfit, as He waits at the starting line of a race track. I can clearly hear the sound of His car engine running, shifting into higher gear as the Driver is ready to start the race. I believe this vision has spiritual significance for the time we are in. As I have continued to watch and listen to what God impressed upon me, below is the message I received. I pray it will bring encouragement to you as it has to me.

The Driver is the Holy Spirit, and as He set to go at the starting line, this represents the coming move of God. Our Heavenly Father has shifted to a higher gear, and He is inviting His people to join Him in this ride. This move will be both exhilarating and intimidating. To those who totally trust God and His leading--this ride will be the greatest joyride of your lifetime. God is telling us, "It's time to move forward."

The question is: Are you ready for the ride? Do you have total confidence in the skill of the Driver?

What Makes Us Qualified to Ride with God?

God is looking for people whose hearts and motives are pure and who do not hide their weaknesses from God. These are people who, when convicted of their shortcomings, are quick to let God deal with their hearts in complete surrender to Him. Just like when God chose David, He said to Samuel, "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7).

Therefore our present success will not be His basis for choosing us; it will be the condition of our hearts which will matter to Him. David failed greatly when he committed adultery with Bathsheba and plotted the death of Uriah (2 Samuel 11). Yet despite David's shortcomings, God continued to use him greatly, and he was fondly remembered as "a man after God's own heart."

Great News for God's Children

Presently there is a big group of God's children who, in the past, experienced the mighty moving of God in your life and ministry. But due to various circumstances, some of you had to give up works or ministry, and may now find yourself seemingly bereft of any success. Despite the difficulties you had to face, the sacrifices you had to endure, the seemingly barrenness of your life right now, quietly, you continue to worship and honor God as best you know how. Yet you cannot deny there is a greater longing in your heart to do more for God's people, to do more for His Kingdom, and to implement all the ideas and plans God has planted inside of you to do. The dreams and visions God placed in the innermost parts of your heart for so long seem to be unattainable.

But there is great news: God had you in His mind! If you can identify with this group, the great news is that God had you specifically in mind and will call you to be on the forefront when His Holy Spirit makes the move. As you have been faithful to God, holding nothing back in the process, laying down everything at His feet, it's now His time to respond. He has not forgotten His promises and His calling for you and your family, and you will see Him opening doors and opportunities which you thought were closed or lost.

Luke 1 Connections

We are coming into a time of connection just like Zechariah and Elizabeth, and Joseph and Mary were intertwined with each other (read Luke 1). These were two different couples at various age levels, facing different challenges, yet both families' lives were intertwined with each other and linked by God for each other's comfort, confirmation, and for a common cause. So will it be in the coming days.

God will use the wisdom, skill and experience of those from the older generations, and He will link them with the new ideas and innovative ways of the younger generations. The experience and expertise of each will "complement," not compete, and they will blend perfectly to fulfill God's Kingdom for the nations.

What Peter had spoken to the crowd about during Pentecost will once more be manifested in our midst. This is both to the older and younger generations: "This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people, your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy'" (Acts 2:16-18).

Prophetic Insight As the Driver Moves

As in the days of Jesus' disciples:

• The people of God will ride this wave and will once more impact the community where they have been planted by God.

• Holistic endeavors connected with education, skills training, community development, poverty alleviation, indigenous inventions, environmental protection and many other projects that the community will need, will once again be spearheaded and pioneered by God's children who will have an important role in these projects.

• God is releasing a marketplace anointing where your skills, talents, hobbies and spiritual gifting will be used extensively by God to impact the people that you are and will be working with in the coming days.

• Ministry, business and job opportunity, which you had given up on before and thought had been lost, will once more be brought back into your path by God Himself. He will network you with people whom He has chosen to work beside you for these projects.

• Just like in Jesus' time, God's work will start off "small," and may not seem significant in the beginning. But as you continue to press in and faithfully do what has been assigned to you, the impact and effect of these works will catch the attention of the secular world.

• You will experience our God going before you and preparing the way. You will hear Him clearly guiding you as He says, "This is the way, walk in it."

Our Prayer

Our Father, we thank You for quickening our hearts once more with this message. We await this day with great expectation. Come Holy Spirit, even today, prepare us for the work that You have chosen for each one of us to do. Just like David cried out to You with these words: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting" (Psalm 139:23-24), so we cry out to You in the same manner today.

As a watchman waits for the dawn, so we also wait and long for You. Move as You have in the days of old. Summon Your power, and show us Your strength as You have done before.

Be exalted once more in the midst of the nations. Raise up the standard of Your people. Pour out Your favor upon us so that people around us will know that Your Presence is with us, and they will be able to distinguish Your children from the people of the world.

Thank You for revealing Your plans and Your heart to us for the coming days. We wait for them with great expectation and with thanksgiving in our hearts. Unto You and You alone, be all glory and power and might for all that You have done, are doing and will do in our lives. In Jesus Christ's name, we say, "Amen!"
