I saw a Tsunami hit the United States: Charlie Shamp

I was recently in prayer and was taken in the spirit; I looked and saw these deep seated, old roots of corruption in the foundation of the White House.

In the vision, the White House appeared to be shaped like a very old tree with its’ branches withering. Suddenly, the hand of the Lord came and pulled it from the ground. Another White House was put in its place that’s roots revealed righteousness and peace. The hand of the Lord planted it into rich soil and it began to flourish, it’s branches contained beautiful fruit. As I looked at this tree it seemed to be an olive tree.

I was again lifted up and taken to the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Supreme Court where I saw them uprooted as well and replaced with new trees that foundations were righteousness and peace. They too began to flourish and bear fruit and appeared to be olive trees as well with multicolored fruit. I heard the Lord speak, “I have extended an olive breach of peace to the United States of America and will extend Donald Trump’s presidency into a second term by the power of my right hand. 

What I have done in the White House will happen with every branch of Government in the United States for I will pull out corruption and plant trees of righteousness that will bear much fruit. Even now the ax is laid to the root of these corrupt trees. Every tree which does not bear good fruit will be cut down, pulled out and thrown into the fire! There will come forth new terms filled with peace, branches will grow out of righteous roots. The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon America again, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord will return once again across the land.”

I again looked and saw a massive red tsunami wave coming to America suddenly it crashed against the shores and covered the nation. I thought, “No. Does this mean a disaster will come?” I heard the Lord say, “I will come to America with another wave of revival, this will be the third wave and will crash against the shores so intensely that the nation will awaken to righteousness again. I will cover this nation with my blood, cities will experience the salvation of my hand. I will empower my church to preach the message of the cross and multitudes will run to alters on street corners and stadiums as I cover the nation with the blood of my son from sea to shining sea.”

The Lord spoke to me again, “As a sure sign of these things coming to pass there will be a wave of conservatives elected during the midterm election in November 2018, it will be Breaking News. They will carry the House and the Senate and I will uproot, replant and rebuild the nation. I will tie the three branches of government together for a person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. I will no longer allow your President to stand on his own. Even now I have called others to come along side and help bring the nation back from the dead and they will take their seats in the coming days.”

I saw the House of Representatives stay in the hands of the Republicans and will move much more to a conservative position. I could see into the Senate and saw the Republicans gain 9 seats, those that took their place were considerably more conservative then those who had previously been there. I heard the Lord say, “Yes, nine will be a sign; a sign that righteousness has been birthed in the nation and earth.” I saw three more constitutional conservatives were appointed to the Supreme Court by President before 2020.

I was so stirred in my heart at the sight of the nation, it was no longer surviving; it was thriving. Waves of outpouring, renewal and revival were all around. I saw tangible glory clouds coming down. God will have his way in the coming days, but we must stand and continue to pray.

Comment: This isn't specifically about the Northwest, but the word about a tsunami is in line with several other words from the Northwest: http://www.northwestprophetic.com/search/label/tsunami

I have no comment regarding the political statements. But he is specific enough that we'll be able to judge the accuracy of them in the coming months.  

A Tsunami of God is Coming From the Northwest to This Nation!

John Mark Pool, Baton Rouge, LA

“Payday Now!”

A “Tsunami of God’s Glory” is going to roll from the Northwest and into the US this year and into 2015, as it continues to usher in the glory of the Lord that will indeed fill the earth.

The Lord told me that another term for the Year 2015 is “PAYDAY!” It is now payday for God’s faithful messengers, intercessors, fivefold ministers, churches and family of God! It is no longer “payday someday,” for the Lord told me it is “Payday now!”

Psalm 79:12, “And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom the reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.”

As I was driving up to the Northwest (Washington state and Oregon region) the Lord showed me a huge tidal wave of His glory reversing the curses of the enemy, the doubters of the faith, and the lethargic Believers who have scoffed at God’s prophetic words being fulfilled.

While driving up to Seattle, it seemed a bit odd that on the very day God spoke to me and showed me all this, I drove past Longview, Washington where a tornado hit in that area. Furthermore, there was a school shooting in Marysville, WA the very next day after God began to reveal this word.

It appears the enemy does not want God’s message to be planted into the hearts of His people. Remember when the enemy comes in “like” a flood, God brings in the “real deal”. When the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is about to roar, the enemy wants to steal the glory! But God will get all the glory and reign victoriously.

“Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8

Regardless of the circumstances, God’s tsunami of His glory is certainly going to fill this region and our nation in an even greater way than anyone can ever imagine! We will now again see the glory, the majesty, and the awesome power of Jehovah – the Most High God!

The Lord showed me all this in a vision as I drove along the western part of the US, and I saw a tumult of clouds rolling in below the mountains. It was as if it were a “tsunami of glory” rolling in and covering even the highest mountain. I knew the Lord was showing me that as the sea covers the earth, as the waves cover the mountains, this time it will indeed be the flood of His glory that covers the earth.

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14

The Lord said to tell our nation to “Get ready America; the Lord is about to pour out His tidal wave of glory that will fill your nation from border to border – that Glory Fire Wall will be the border security needed!”

And one called out to another and said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory.” Isaiah 6:3

2015 Is a Year of Transforming Deliverance!

As we are in the Hebrew calendar of 5775, it is truly a year of being fully transformed from the old ways of doing things into the ways of the Lord to now multiply His Kingdom in earth as it is in Heaven!

If you look up the word Salvation in the Hebrew, it literally means “Deliverance.” When the Lord said He would step in and bring salvation (deliverance) to the whole earth, He has the authority, the power and the means to do just what He has promised. Isaiah and many of the patriarchs and prophets of old were declaring God’s Word – just hoping to be where the fiery messengers of this dispensation are now living!

Yes, this is the time for the anointed of the Lord to take their place as they have paved the way, as God’s plans will demonstrate that the Most High God is our “Deliverer!” Stand and see the splendor of the Lord and His “tsunami of His glory” engulf the earth. What God is pouring out throughout the Northwest United States, will grab the nation’s attention that a “flood of His glory presence” is about to cover the country, and a holy hunger is being poured out across this land.

Yes, this is certainly the timing of God to do exactly opposite of what the “doomsayers” have said. Yes, God is indeed who He says He is, and no amount of giving way to the spirit of fear will accomplish anything, for the glory waves will roll over both sinners and Believers together! God will overwhelm this land with the righteousness of His heart and this land will indeed turn back to the Father as the seas of His glory invade every crevice of the earth – which HE formed! (Photo via Wikipedia)

“God’s on His way again, retracing the old salvation route, coming up from the south through Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Skies are blazing with His splendor, His praises sounding through the earth, His cloud-brightness like dawn, exploding, spreading, forked-lightning shooting from His hand - what power hidden in that fist! Plague marches before Him, pestilence at His heels! He stops. He shakes Earth. He looks around. Nations tremble. The age-old mountains fall to pieces; ancient hills collapse like a spent balloon. The paths God takes are older than the oldest mountains and hills...” Habakkuk 3:3-7 MSG

When our land has been overwhelmed with the “spirit of Jezebel” it is time that the Lord fulfill His Word to “repay” that stronghold what she is due! We must allow the Lord to fill us with His glory and to understand that our Father takes care of His own.

Here is the way God takes care of His own, viewed from the pen of John in Revelation 18:5-7:

“For her sins have piled up as high as Heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Pay her back even as she has paid, and give back to her double according to her deeds; in the cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’”

We will be delivered from the religious rules and regulations that offer “busyness with no results.” We must now become “aligned with God’s heart” and not the perspiring and toiling plans of man. We will no longer be able to show a false way of “appropriating the will of God by the sword of flesh!”

Purifying the Sons of Levi

“He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in righteousness.” Malachi 3:3

This will be exchanged during this year of Purifying the Sons of Levi into becoming relentless pursuers of the intense relationship with Abba Father. We will be filled with the glory of God, and the amount of purification will predicate the amount of glory poured into each Believer. As this purification process takes place now in 5775, we will certainly experience the personal, communal, national and world-wide deliverance of God for His Kingdom.

As this Great Awakening continues, this purification will offer vessels to become the greatest testimonies of God’s glory to all those around. Others will see the “temple of God” rather than the carnal wrapper that has clouded the view of God’s hope to searching hearts.

I received a prophetic Word in 2002 from Dr. Bill Hamon, founder of Christian International, who is a “Father of the Prophetic Movement” that I would help “Purify the Sons of Levi.” I did not understand that word at first, but sought prophetic counsel and realized it is not to go about “as the Lord’s justice system to wrong leaders,” but as “the voice to offer loving help,” and be a prophetic voice of truth both to searching pastors and their churches, so they may prosper as Kingdom multipliers for their regions.

Through many ministry years and thousands of miles, God has placed us with many wonderful churches and ministry leaders who have shown much love with hearts to receive this fivefold ministry Kingdom message. Make no mistake: God’s servants the prophets are to be the heart of our Father God for His kind of purifying sanctification – by holding up the arms of the “lonely leaders” and to put your arm around the hurting and wounded pastors; not judging, but rather giving the needed real prophetic, genuine love through the proper, prophetic gift.

This truly is the season, as the natural world looks the darkest, that God is absolutely now filling the earth with His glory! We have never ever gone where we are now entering, and all the prophets of old prophesied it and longed to see what we are about to see!

Prophetic Revelation for 2015

My Lord keeps telling me two things we will begin to see more each day of 2015:

1. The glory light will be on God’s people.

2. The hidden supernatural treasures no one has yet seen or experienced will be revealed!

A Scripture I hear often reveals this promise of God: “Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” Isaiah 60:1-3

The second verse my spirit hears God saying is, “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3).

My fellow family of God, it is now time to decree and to be what God has planned for us as “deliverance has come to the people of God.” It is not a time to be complacent, but to press in more than ever to see things as never before and experience things no person has ever touched! It is indeed time to “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so” (Psalm 107:2).

We are now in a time of the “Tsunami of God’s Glory” filling this nation and turning it indeed back to the heart of the Father! Decree and expect to see the heart of God’s glory fill our land to demonstrate we are still one nation under God! We are the Christian Nation that will allow the tsunami of God’s glory to fill the whole earth!

We are excited to know that God’s love indicates the level of care to step in and pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, as a “Great Tsunami of God’s Glory” fills America and the nations of the earth. We will have NO FEAR in God’s presence with HIS perfect love. GOD will once again BLESS the USA! Amen.

Bob Jones on 2013: Decision & Commitment

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

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

What Is This Revival Going to Look Like?

Compiled by Don Deskins, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

Before Lou and I moved to Canada, I was looking for the Third Great Awakening to start at any time in the US. I didn't know what it was going to look like, but I felt that something really big was going to happen. After being in Canada awhile, I started doing a bit of research on revivals and what they looked like. Canada has never had a nationwide revival, although there have been several pockets of a real Move of God. In my research, I found a few prophecies that stated Canada was headed for a great awakening, or Move of God, and that through this (or at the same time), the US and other nations would have a revival.

The following is a list of characteristics of what I believe will happen in this Move of God.

1. This revival will be different from anything that has happened in the past. Do not look for God to do what He did in the US during the Great Awakening or the Second Great Awakening. If you do, you will miss what God has for you. (confirmed by Charlie Robison on 03/22/2011 in Kelowna).

2. The revival will be led by lay people, not pastors, preachers or evangelists. The lay people will be those that are in tune with the Holy Spirit and have a heart for God. Those gifts that were intended for use outside "the church", will be used in a dramatic way. People will be healed, and eyes will be opened with words of wisdom and knowledge from "normal" people. People will suddenly feel the Spirit of God move within them, and they will speak as if God Himself were speaking. The lay people will "naturally" do what is right, being led by the Holy Spirit. This is not to say that pastors, etc. won't have a role, but the main thrust will be through lay people.

3. There will be a God ordained "civil war" within the church. In the same way that Paul had to rebuke Peter for compromising the Gospel through his actions with the Judaizers, there will be a desire to get back to the pure truth of the Gospel: that is, that there is no way to the Father except by a confession of faith in the Lord Jesus. We are not talking about doctrinal differences. Those that get into a fight over doctrinal differences will be left behind in this revival (or may find themselves in a fight with God). Instead, we are talking about any "gospel" that is preached distorts who God (the Father, the Son or the Holy Spirit) is and teaches any other way to the Father than through Jesus. (this has already started)

4. Related to the items above, the Lord will use the people who have been rejected by "the church" in the past. These include those that have sinned greatly, but have been miraculously transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Just as the Apostle Paul was transformed from a murderer to a warrior for God, so shall these days be. As people are being saved, God will transform them into soldiers for God. God is going to use ex-drug dealers and addicts, ex-gang members, ex-prostitutes, etc.... those people who "many sins have been forgiven," will love much (Luke 7:47).

5. Because some in the current church do not understand what is happening, because some will take offense at the outcasts that are coming to salvation, and because there is a split over the True Gospel, many will leave the church, but many more will be moved into the Body of Christ. Those that take offense and don't repent will start mocking, and then move to persecuting the Body of Christ. This may very well include those the are true children of God, but don't accept what is happening in the church.

6. The Body of Christ will become "spotless and without blemish," i.e., she will move into the Righteousness and Holiness that God intended.

7. Any Move of God also includes a great Move within the youth - the very young through the college age. This will be from the very beginning (and may have already started). This will, of course, include the outcasts, but also include the youth from our mainline churches who just "catch fire." The youth will move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit in a mighty way, so much so that it will astound the older generations.

8. This Move of God will cross all denominational boundaries. This is not about who is right doctrinally, but who God is! Those that deny the Move of God as legitimate because it didn't come from their church or denomination will be left unchanged. Those that claim that the Move of God started with their denomination or church, or lead by their denomination or church, will be left unchanged through this Move because of their hard hearts - they may even open themselves up to the judgment of God. There will be attempts for some to lead this movement, but if they have personal motives, they will crash as an example to others. This movement will truly be lead by the Holy Spirit. He will raise up "leaders" that do not want to be recognized but want the Kingdom to be advanced. Individuals in the Body will just "do" what they are supposed to do.

9. There will be a 24/7 prayer movement in major regions or cities across denominational and church boundaries. (this has already started)

10. There will be a restoration of David's Tabernacle, that is, there will be a movement for 24/7 praise and worship in major cities and regions across denominational and church boundaries.

11. There will be a Move of God to promote justice across all boundaries (socio-economic, racial, etc.). Please note that there is a false "social justice" movement in place at this time that will not get (and will not even try to get) justice. You will recognize the difference in the two by their results.

12. There will be a move by the Body of Christ to secure a place in society for the "fatherless." This includes the UNBORN. Today's trend of abortion on demand will be reversed by the Spirit of God. The Body will make every attempt to empty the orphanages and adopt the fatherless.

13. The Body of Christ will become the New Testament church once more. As the church walks in Holiness and Righteousness, the miracles of Acts will be seen once more. It will be both glorious and terrifying.

14. As the Body of Christ sees what Jesus means to her, individuals will live sacrificially with their finances and their time. Material possessions will become meaningless to the "alive" church. Seeing people added to the Body of Christ will be the church's main focus.

15. The revival will cover all (or most all) nations. Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc. (that is, people from all religions) will have their eyes opened to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be converted.

16. The Body of Christ will learn to truly "walk in the Spirit" and walk in the authority that God has given her.

17. There will be great conflicts and disasters during this time - but for those of us who are focused on Jesus Christ, it will not matter. These troubling events will only strengthen our resolve to do what God has called us to do.

18. This last revival will remain in place until the Lord's return.

The Wave Rises, Revealing the Darkness

I looked up and saw a great wave forming just offshore, rising from the ocean’s surface. As the wave rose up, the water drew back from the shore, feeding the wave; the higher the wave rose, the further back the water drew until the sea floor was exposed.

As the water exposed the sea floor, it also exposed all the dark, dirty things that had bee lying hidden on the sea floor, things which hadn’t seen the light of day for years, decades.

The wave paused, like it was waiting, and I saw people watching the wave and the exposed sea floor. As they water drew back, they walked out toward the sea, wondering what was going on. As they saw the ugly debris that the receding water exposed, they responded in a couple of ways.

Some of their faces showed shame or disgust, even anger, and they tried to cover the hidden things with mud to hide them again, and as they did, they became covered in mud. Some tried to pretend that they had nothing there, nothing to see, and they scrambled back toward shore, talking about football or weather, or anything except the hidden secrets now uncovered. But everyone could tell they, too, were now covered with mud that had splashed up while they were running to get away.

Others saw the hidden things and they owned them, murmuring, “Oh! I remember when that happened!” or “I’d forgotten about that!” or “I wondered where that had gone.” And they picked up the dark messes and carried them back to shore. Some of the people deliberately deposited their dark bundles carefully in garbage cans, set out especially for the occasion. Others cleaned and examined the bundles, removing layer after layer of mud and grime, deposited over the years.

One dark bundle, as the owner carefully scraped away layers of black guck, revealed a gold wristwatch, which he carefully cleaned, then put onto his wrist. Another uncovered a red and white music box, it still played its tune when she lifted the lid. One young man was working on a black mess larger than himself, which eventually disclosed a white surfboard with three short rudders in its tail.

Only after everyone had a chance to retrieve their lost belongings did the wave resume its course, towering over the people as it rushed landward. Many of those who hid or ignored the dark things ran in terror from the wave, screaming or weeping as they did. Those who had brought their dark secrets with them saw the wave, and welcomed its arrival; when it swept past them, it left them clean and bright and refreshed, but it swept the others away, still screaming, still struggling. One young man was seen surfing the wave, dodging people and obstacles, carried farther and higher than he’d ever been before.

For years, God has been speaking of another wave of revival coming to our region, and often he’s used the imagery of a wave, like a tsunami coming towards us.

The wave is now rising from the calm waters in which we live and breathe and go to church, as the presence of God is preparing to rush upon us. But as he prepares, as the wave rises, many hidden things are revealed, and our Father gently, patiently, waits for us to respond to them.

Many people will find hidden sin revealed; others will find character flaws brought to light. And God patiently waits as we repent, as we deal with the issues and prepare to move forward. The wave will come to land, the power and presence of God will descend on our region – though nobody yet knows how or where – but he waits for the darkness to be removed first, because he wants the wave to come in clean, free from the garbage that we’ve hidden for so many years. In this time of anticipation of God’s move, repentance is our faithful friend.

But some of what has been hidden is not sin, though it’s similarly hidden in the depths. Some of us have had callings, visions, dreams, hopes, that we’ve given up, forgotten about. A few were fleshly ambitions that need repentance and disposal. But many are gifts from God that had been abandoned because of fear, doubt, misunderstanding. It’s time to pick these up, wipe away the darkness and grime of our disregard or disrespect, and begin to walk in the callings, begin to dream the dreams again.

This is not a matter of our labor. This is a matter of our simply agreeing with the Father. No, I don’t choose these dark things. Yes, I do choose him over them. Certainly, you may wash me of these things. Yes, I want to choose your Son over them all!

The wave is coming. But it is waiting while we discover what he is uncovering, and make ourselves ready for a move of God, full of power and grace.

Purified By The Snow

December 31, 2008

In view of the recent chilling weather conditions across the country from the north to the south from east to the west, the Spirit of the Lord has reminded me of this simple word I was given on January 11, 2007. My prayer for all is that you’ve had a safe and restful time with God as He’s once again allowed the snows of His purifying love to be poured down from Heaven above.

Just as numerous disastrous occurrences are currently happening around the world, I believe once again God is speaking to us all. He’s looking for all of our attention to be entirely focused on Himself. It’s definitely time for a solid refocusing upon the God of the Universe. If God doesn’t have your undivided attention yet, He soon will.

This is the original word released on January 11, 2007

Over many generations as many in the Body of Christ are currently aware of, sin and the curses that follow sin can and have come upon many of us and the land in which we inhabit.

This morning, the Spirit of the Lord began to speak to me in an audible voice saying, “This is the Grace of Heaven that has fallen upon you Great Northwest. Clean up your act, start acting by faith, in faith to Me The Faithful One. Begin to do the acts found in the Acts of the Apostles. The sin that is upon the land is being purified by this recent snowfall.”

“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Psalms 51:7

“Pray, pray, pray that the devastation that’s been prophesied doesn’t happen, those things are warnings for you to pray.”

“Watch, then, for you do not know what hour your Lord comes.” Matthew 24:40

“This day, you have been blessed by the frozen assets from Heaven, just as Doctors freeze cancers off the body, I have caused things to freeze up and die. I will put opposition into a deep freeze and cause it to fall away. As the snow melts there is a healing process beginning upon the Northwest.”

“To consecrate her by cleansing her in a bath of baptism as she utters her confession, in order to have the Church as His very own, standing before Him in all her glory, with never a spot or wrinkle or any such flaw, but consecrated and unblemished.” Ephesians 5:26-28 Moffatt

“My people have become a stiff-necked people, you shall begin to pray and grab the hand of those that hate you within My Church.”

“And you shall know that Jehovah your God is not giving you this good land, to possess it, for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.” Deutronomy 9:6

“I will bring down dissension.”

“My people, on whom My name is a called, shall be humbled, and shall pray, and shall seek My face, and shall turn back from their evil ways, then I will surely hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land.”

2 Chronicles 7:14

“I don’t want devastation to overcome you because of sin done in the land, this day I say continue to cry out for more of My life to be in your life, for your States Cities, Schools and certainly for My Church.”

“And I also say to you, that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against her.” Matthew 16:18

“My purity has come down from the Heavens for ALL to see, it has come to cause you to stop and see your busyness. For you shall arise in the morning and acknowledge Me like never before.”

“O God, You are my God; I earnestly seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and weary land without water.” Psalm: 63:1

“Acknowledge Me as Ruler over ALL the Universe, for ALL that comes down from Me The Father of Lights is good.”

“Do not go astray, my beloved brothers, every act of giving good and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no change or shadow of turning.” James 1:16, 17

May the Blessing of Heaven be upon you this day.

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.

Lean Into the Wind

I spent one summer, many years ago, up in the Canadian Arctic. I never crossed the Arctic Circle, but I spent several weeks in an aluminum canoe quite close to that line. I learned some things during that season.

One thing I learned is that the wind in that territory really knows how to blow! During the few weeks of summer that far north, it’s not too awfully bad, but the rest of the year is known for strong and steady winds; we measured some at over 60 MPH. Those winds are relentless, they’re penetrating, and they’re merciless.

Out in the wilderness like that, one is tempted to try to find shelter from such a wind, but there is none. The tallest trees are measured in inches, not feet, and the highest mountain is a gentle slope to a 20’ summit. There is nowhere to hide from the wind.

There are only three ways to respond to the wind in those kinds of circumstances:

1. You can lean into the wind. It won’t be easy going, but you can put your head down, squint your eyes, and face into the wind. If you hope to have any control over your progress, this is the only way to get around If you’re living in a tent (like I was), then the only option is aim the front of the tent, the tent door, into the wind, and open the door (zipper) just a bit. The wind will blow into the tent, expanding it to twice its normal cubic capacity, and – if you have staked it down properly – it will lock it into its place on the landscape.

2. If you face the tent away from the wind or (heaven forbid) crosswise to the wind, prepare to get up in the middle of the night to gather what belongings you can find from across the landscape.

3. You can turn your back on the wind. With your back to the wind, you find yourself pushed wherever the wind is blowing towards, out of control, of the camp, and usually towards the nearest body of icy water. You can’t see any better with your back to the wind, and its icy tendrils find your sensitive skin just as quickly. The effort to protect yourself is wasted, and eventually, you have to turn around, face into the wind, and work your way back to where you started from.

There have been a number of prophetic words about winds coming into our lives: winds of change, refining winds, winds of revival. These winds of the Spirit are relentless, they’re penetrating, and they’re merciless.

We will be tempted to try to find shelter from such winds, but there is none. There is nowhere to hide from these winds. One word says, “Because of a lack of understanding some of My people will try to find shelter from the Wind, but in so doing, they shall miss My work.” If we hide from the wind, we miss what God is doing.

There are only two ways to deal with the winds in these kinds of circumstances:

1. We can lean into the wind. We can set our face like flint towards the wind that God is blowing at us, embrace the change, the refining, the revival as uncomfortable as it is. If we face into the wind, and open ourselves up to this thing that God is doing, we’ll find ourselves expanding in our capacity for what God is doing, inflated by the Spirit of God, and if we have anchored ourselves properly in Christ, we’ll be locked into our destiny by the very wind that we expected to destroy us.

2. If we work at cross purposes to these winds, we’ll find ourselves waking up at some point to find our work strewn across the landscape, running to gather what shards remain.

3. Or we can turn our back on the wind. If we face away from the wind, we will find ourselves pushed all over the place, out of control, and away from fellowship. We’ll be unable to see what is coming toward us or to see where we are being blown to, but it won’t be where we want to. Our efforts to dodge the work that God is doing will only serve to keep us in His processes longer in order to learn our lessons, and eventually, we’ll need to turn around, embrace the work He’s doing, and work our way back to where we started from.

What does this look like, leaning into the wind. It looks like embracing whatever God is doing in your life, in your community, and doing it without regard for personal cost. If He’s bringing winds of change, then we let go of the old ways – remembering the lessons we’ve learned there – and we embrace the new thing that God is doing (which is not the same as the latest trend in church growth techniques). If he’s bringing a season of refining, then it means that we embrace refining: we open ourselves for correction and conviction, knowing that some of what we hear will good and some will be false accusations. If He’s bringing revival, then we embrace revival, we look for any shred of the Spirit of God in the new and strange movement, and we ignore the odd noises, odd behaviors, odd theologies (excepting actual heresy, which we are very slow to judge) that the new movement exhibits.

Leaning into the wind means embracing what God is doing, whether it’s comfortable or not. It means ordering our lives so that we rely on the new and perhaps unusual thing that God is doing. It means not defending ourselves, our ministry, our beliefs, in the face of all that God is doing. It means that when we’re under the Spirit’s surgeon’s scalpel, that we look our surgeon in the face and ask Him to cut deep.

The alternative, turning our back to the wind, involves avoiding difficulty, avoiding inconvenience, avoiding discomfort. This lifestyle will end up blowing us all over the map, probably towards the nearest body of icewater.

The winds of God are on us now, winds of change, winds of refining, winds of revival. May we have the courage to lean into the wind.

Matt Sorger: Polarization

Note: This is the third word I've seen recently talking about refining/polarizing/shaking: God is polarizing the Church - those that will cling to Him, and those that will cling to something else - and then He's bringing us into a new season. One of the others can be found (as a video stream) here. --Editor

From Matt Sorger:

The Holy Spirit spoke very expressly to me tonight. When I stood in the office before coming into the room tonight I heard the inner audible voice of the Spirit of God speak to me a word for tonight. But as I sat in this seat, I was taken in the Spirit. And the Lord spoke a very clear word that I want to declare right now.

Holy Spirit said to me that He’s releasing a "clear water revival". And He spoke it over and over and over again to me – clear water, clear water, clear water, clear water -- He’s releasing a "clear water revival". And He said that this move of the Spirit will not be tainted or touched by the hands of man or flesh. It will not be tainted. Listen to what the word of the Lord is saying tonight because this is a very pivotal moment in the Spirit right now. The Lord said that He is releasing a "clear water revival" and that this move of the Spirit will not be tainted by the flesh of man.

CROSSING OVER INTO A NEW SEASON: A GREAT POLARIZATION WILL TAKE PLACE & THE GREY AREAS WILL BE REMOVED

And then He spoke to me and He said that tonight is a night of crossing over. He said that tonight the church is crossing over into a new season. And the Lord said "Mark this date in your bible; mark it on your calendar". Tonight we have crossed over into a new season in the Spirit and the Lord said from this moment forward: black will become very black and white will become very white. And the Lord said He is removing the grey areas. Black will become very black and white will become very white. He said there’s coming a great polarization even within the body of Christ.

He says this very night something has been set in motion in the spiritual realm. And it’s bigger than just this meeting. It’s over the body of Christ in America. Something has been set in motion tonight in the spiritual realm.

Yesterday was the Day of Atonement (Oct. 9), the last day of the ten days of awe of the season of Rosh Hashanah. And the Holy Spirit spoke to me tonight, we have crossed over, church, into a new spiritual season. Tonight is the first night of it. We’re about to see some very dramatic things happen within the body of Christ. Listen to what I’m saying to you tonight. We’re about to see very, very dramatic things happen within the body of Christ.

NEW WINESKIN BEING RAISED UP: APOSTOLIC CENTERS & CITYWIDE REVIVAL

And what I sense also in my heart is that there’s a new wineskin that God’s raising up; there’s a new wineskin Holy Spirit is forming. You know years ago – 16 years ago – Holy Spirit spoke to me that there’s a new breed that God’s raising up. See God started to prepare a new breed 16 years ago. We’re coming into a season of release right now. New wineskins are going to be released and raised up and there are going to be new apostolic works birthed in the earth. They’re already being birthed right now. And the wineskin is going to look very, very different.

There’s wells of revivals that God is opening up within cities right now. And I have a feeling that this word I’m speaking tonight is a whole lot bigger than what we’re seeing in this room. I’m telling you the truth. I saw it clearly as I’ve seen anything in the spirit tonight. There is a supernatural polarization that is being loosed in the spirit realm.

And last night I was talking about the fear of Lord. For those who will come under the umbrella of the fear of the Lord in this hour, tremendous glory will be given to them. Listen to what I’m saying. Those who come under the fear of the Lord in this hour will come under tremendous glory.

A NEW SEASON OF HOUSECLEANING

Grey areas are about to be dealt with. There is coming a new housecleaning to the body of Christ. There is a supernatural housecleaning coming to the body of Christ. And every single grey area of compromise is about to be swept clean. Because the Lord said that this is a clear water revival. This is going to be very clean and pure. Very clean and pure. Pristine water. Pristine water. It’s going to be unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Very pristine water. Crystal, crystal clear. Because God has been preparing over the last 16 years a new breed that will be ready to carry and flow with this move of the Spirit of God.

They have been hidden away in caves. These vessels have been hidden away in caves. And God has been working a pure, refined heart and spirit on the inside of them. God has been working a pure, refined heart of gold on the inside of them. And God has been causing step by step their hearts to be turned away from the things of this world toward the things of His Spirit. Step by step God has been dealing. Step by step God has been refining. Step by step God has been causing hearts of pure gold to come forth to be prepared, so that this move of God can be sustained in the earth.

GOD IS NOT LOOKING FOR HUMAN GIFTEDNESS, BUT FOR A REFINED HEART

God is not looking – hear what the Spirit of the Lord says right now – God is not looking for gifted individuals. God is looking for pure, clean vessels that have been refined in the fire of God. God is not looking for your human giftedness. He is looking for pure, refined vessels that have walked through the fire of God. God is all over this tonight and God is all over you tonight.

God’s getting the bride ready. He’s getting the bride ready for His coming. He’s calling. He’s calling the bride. Get your garments ready. Get your wedding dress ready.

Today I bought a ring; it’s called a purity ring. And written right on the front is the word PURITY. And on the back is the scripture Matthew 5. It is a prophetic sign for the body of Christ right now because the Lord’s not coming back for a harlot; He’s coming back for a bride. He’s not coming back for a harlot that’s running all around with different idols. He’s coming back for a pure, spotless, clean bride.

And I went into the word in Matthew 5 right before the service and I was reading the scripture in Matt 5:13, "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost it’s taste (it’s quality) how can its saltiness be restored. It is not good for anything any longer, but to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men."

You are the salt of the earth. If the salt has lost its quality, It’s good for nothing. Quality! God is looking for a quality believer tonight. Then in verse eight, "blessed (happy, enviably fortunate, spiritually prosperous, possessing the happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor, and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward condition, regardless of what their natural circumstances are, regardless of what they have in the natural, regardless of their outward conditions) blessed happy are the pure in heart for they shall see God."

The pure in heart: hearts refined as gold; hearts that have been through the fire; hearts that have been prepared by God. Verse six, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness." Many of our bibles say "for they will be filled." Amplified says "for they shall be completely satisfied."

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (purity, cleanness) they will live a life of complete satisfaction. Complete satisfaction. Completely satisfied on the inside.

LIFE JOY

It’s not about a title or a ministry. Nothing that will build the pride of man up. It’s about those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, they are the ones who will live with one hundred percent complete satisfaction in their lives. They will be satisfied. They will have a life joy in their lives. A life joy. Do you know what a life joy is? A life joy is not a temporary moment of happiness because of a good circumstance in your life. A life joy is because your life has been completely filled with the righteousness of God. A deep satisfaction on the inside of you that man can’t take away, that circumstances can’t take away, and certainly the devil can’t take away.

A deep righteousness on the inside. A deep life joy. A deep satisfaction. How many here want to live a life of satisfaction? That you just have that sense of being satisfied. You’re not striving. You’re not unhappy in your moment. Listen you’ve got to learn to enjoy your moment while you’re on the way to where you’re going.

You can still have vision for the future and at the same time be completely satisfied on the inside of you. You can still have unfulfilled vision in your life and yet at the same moment live completely satisfied on the inside of you.
