The Rain of Heaven

[Editor's Note: This word is not specific to the Northwest - other than the fact that the Northwest is expert on the subject of rain - but it has great application to us here in the Northwest.] 

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.“

- Galatians 6:9

 

I foresee a great move of God, such as we have never before seen.

 

There is a due season of great harvest. There is a timing to all sovereign moves of God. Looking back and observing the history of the Church, I’ve come to see that God knows how to yield the greatest harvest from any generation.

 

Some say that we shouldn’t wait for revival, stressing that we should rather be revival. And that’s a valid point. Should we be inactive? No! In fact, laziness and wickedness seem to be synonymous to God. But the truth is that even with all of our efforts and obedience, only God can bring the rain. So we should find a healthy balance that avoids the extremes of both laziness and independence.

 

In this season, we will see many saved. In this season, we will see many healed. In this season, we will accomplish many good things and bear much fruit. But there’s nothing like when God brings the rain. You can plow and plant all you want – but only God can bring the rain.

 

There is no formula for this. There are no step-by-step keys. There is no secret. It’s really just God. But we must plow and plant. Otherwise, when it rains, what will grow? This is the partnership of man and God: We do the possible. He does the impossible.

 

Waiting on God does not mean inactivity. In fact, if you believe that it’s going to rain, you need to plant the seeds and plow the ground. Don’t wait around. Otherwise, when God moves, you’ll weep and not reap.

 

But what seeds are you planting? Are they truly spiritual seeds? Are you building a church or an organization? A church or a club? Do you seek righteousness or relevance? Are you praying for the sick? Are you casting out demons?

 

Whatever the seeds you are planting, you can be sure that they will become a harvest. But what sort of harvest are you going to reap? Will it be good or will it be God? Are you sowing the seeds of programs or power? Attendance or anointing? Methods or miracles? Tolerance or truth?

 

Don’t grow weary. Plant what God tells you to plant. The rain is coming.

 

3 Outcomes of the Outpouring

 

Last week, I wrote of a coming revival that I foresee. I encouraged my readers to continue planting seeds and plowing the ground. The rain is most certainly coming.

 

But I want to prepare you for what’s coming. Just like the return of Christ, all pivotal and divine actions are both a joy and a terror. The scripture uses the term, “Great and terrible”. Everyone knows that something big is coming. Major, global changes are just around the corner.

 

As of now, I don’t know what the condition of the nations will be during the rain (the outpouring). Though I do suspect that hostility towards the Church will continue to grow until the final appearing of Christ, I don’t believe that full-blown persecution will arrive in the United States before the next great outpouring. But persecution may come as a result of the incredible shaking that revival will bring to this nation. Again, God has not spoken to me in that regard. I am only speculating at this point. But what was made clear to me was this: “You’ve sown the seeds. I’m about to bring the rain.”

 

Church, the rain is coming. And these 3 things will come as a result.

 

#1 The Workers will be Refreshed

 

“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.” - Acts 3:17-21

 

There seems to be a chronology here. Firstly, Christ’s suffering is fulfilled. Then, after repentance, times of refreshing come. And then Christ is sent again. But “Heaven must receive [Him] until the time for restoring all the things…” Christ’s return is preceded by a time of great refreshing.

 

When the rain comes, the workers of the field will be refreshed. As of right now, ministers and Christian leaders are exhausted. Look at the sad statistics:

 

45% of pastors say that they’ve experienced depression or burnout to the extent that they needed to take a leave of absence from ministry. 1,500 pastors leave their ministries each month due to burnout, conflict, or moral failure. 50% of the ministers starting out will not last 5 years. 4,000 new churches begin each year while 7,000 churches close.

 

Am I saying that there is no refreshment for now? Am I saying we are powerless until the next great outpouring? Of course not! Yes, we are to, to some degree, be the revival we desire to see. I addressed this in last week’s blog. But there is certainly a time of fresh outpouring that brings about a greater time of refreshing. I see an open field of very dry dirt. The field goes on for miles and miles in all directions. I see, as Jesus saw, a plentiful harvest, waiting to be harvested. But to every harvest there is a season. This harvest, for now, is in the form of seeds. I see people planting and plowing. There are thousands of workers. They are sweating and tired. Each movement kicks up a cloud of dirt. But, overhead, I see a cloud beginning to form. The workers look up with great expectation yet continue to plow and to plant. Then, the cloud covers the entirety of the visible skyline. Thunder rumbles throughout the field – it is the sound of worship. Then, it begins to rain. Immediately, the harvest grows. The harvesters can’t move quickly enough to keep up with the growth. All of the seeds that were sown are now growing. The workers, wet with rain, are refreshed. They begin working at a more lively pace than ever before. The harvest yields greatly.

 

#2 The Harvest will Yield

 

But, among the good seeds, are bad seeds. They are seeds sown in the flesh and even seeds sown from demonic strategy.

 

“Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.“ - Matthew 13:24-26

 

But the wisdom of God, not wanting to lose the harvest, allows for both to grow. I’ll explain this on the next point.

 

However, when the harvest comes, both the good and bad seeds will grow.

 

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.“ - Galatians 6:7

 

What you’re sowing now will grow. Are you sowing of the spirit or of the secular? Are you building a church or a self-help club? Are you after man’s programs or God’s power? What is not of the spirit will not stand when the times change.

 

The church you’re building – will it be overcome by the times? Will it be deceived by the times? Or will it yield God’s harvest in the times?

 

Do you want the seeds you’ve been planting to grow or do you fear them being realized? Listen carefully. The rain is coming. You will reap a harvest. God is merciful, and there is still time to begin sowing rightly. But what you sow will become a harvest.

 

#3 The Weeds will be Exposed

 

“So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” - Matthew 13:27-30

 

The tares mentioned here were a type of rye-grass. This specific kind of rye-grass bore a very close resemblance to wheat. Only when the ear appeared could they be told apart from the wheat. Only when it came time to harvest could they be separated.

 

What looks like God’s church may not be God’s church. What looks like God’s actions may only be man’s. I’m not making a specific reference to anyone or anything. I’m simply telling you that much of what looks like the harvest just may not be the harvest.

 

Keep your heart right, and you have nothing to fear. Remain in God’s presence, and, when the harvest comes, you will rejoice.

 

Think About It,

Kim Clement from Seattle. 2006.

Editor's Note: It is not my opinion that this six year old prophecy is at this time a "Now Word" for the Northwest (though the nation may now be living out the "unusual heat"). But this was a "Now Word" when it was delivered in 2006, and it is in that context as a historical record of prophecy over the region, that this is presented.

Note that Tacoma has often dwelt in Seattle's shadow, economically, culturally and even prophetically. This word speaks more to Tacoma than Seattle, though a good deal of the word speaks to the greater coast region.

June 30, 2006 - Seattle, WA

For the Spirit of the Lord says, even as you are gathered together and even as you have made this proclamation tonight, that now is the right time, surely the Lord says, now is the correct and accurate time. For surely as you have entered into this summer it is going to be a season of multiplication, says the Lord. For God says, it is My desire to multiply to those that have experienced subtraction. And therefore God says, if the enemy has stolen away from you, I'm going to pay you two back. And if he's stolen two things from you, I'm going to pay you four back. If he's stolen three from you, I'm going to pay you six back, and so on, and so on, and so on. 

The Spirit of the Lord says, even though there are those that have come here tonight and you've said, God what is it that you have to say? The Lord says, even right from the beginning it is My will to prophesy to the dead bones that have surrounded so many of My people. For the Lord says, they will not say go to the valley or go to the high mountain, for God said, it's not going to be in one place. I'm going to spread throughout the region where My rain will come to you. And I will pour out of an abundance of My blessing. Don't be afraid because now is the right time. Tomorrow about this time things are going to change!! 

Sound the alarm! God said, salvation is coming, deliverance is coming, because this is the summer of multiplication. It is coming to you. God's going to multiply. 

God says, the summer of hurricanes is over, the summer of destruction is over. Now the rain is a sign that I'm raining upon the political powers. I'm pouring my rain so that this Nation will not turn its back on the God that brought them into this land. The Spirit of God says, men who proclaimed, men who proclaimed as Voltaire proclaimed: there is no God, shall stand as the lightning strikes and as the thunder rolls, and say, God, God, please help me. For the Lord says, there is an unusual revival that is going to take place amongst the democrats and the republicans. Believe it or not. They don't want, they don't want a spiritual movement in a political movement. But God said, this that I'm going to do is a very unusual thing. For you, America, have waited for the rain, not the rain of destruction but the rain, the rain that would raise up people, that would cause the cattle to come forth, to cause the harvest to come forth. 

Now the Word of the Lord comes to this region. Did I not tell you that there would be discoveries? Did I not tell you from this region that there would come inventions? Did I not tell you that there would be cures that would come from this region and from this soil? Now let Me tell you a little secret - also from this region, says the Lord, shall come the divine intervention of God regarding your energy. For it shall happen, says the Lord, as I have promised. Watch and see. For they will say, they will say this has been spoken of, how can we drive a vehicle and yet it costs us less? God says, even as the prophet Elisha came and said, tomorrow about this time you will be able to buy flour for so much, and wheat for so much. God says, this prophet would tell you that in just a very few short years you will not pay $3, your will not pay $2, it will come below that. And you shall say, how could this be possible? God said, do not say it's impossible. For if you see it today, you will take a hold of it and I will change the economy of this Nation, says the Lord. 

The Spirit of God tells me to tell you, there are those that have said, it's far too late and I cannot make it. But God said, in these summer months even going into November, there will be an unusual heat that shall be upon this Nation. But God said, it will be a sign that I am going to change everything for you. Those who have suffered and they have had a subtraction it matters not when the subtraction took place or how it slowed you down. The spirit of multiplication means I'm going to speed things up so you can catch up, so that you're at the right place at the right time for the right reason, says the Lord. And if you are willing, if you are able, God said, I will do exceedingly abundantly all that you ask, all that you imagine. Tonight I pour upon you My multiplication and My double portion, says the Lord. 

The Spirit of God says, there are going to be many many unusual appearances of My Spirit - God says, with people that did not understand and could not see will suddenly see. The blindness that has made atheists out of great men, the blindness that has made alcoholics out of giants and kings, the blindness that has caused those that have been integrous to stumble and fall, that blindness, says the Spirit of God, is being removed. And during these months, great great opportunities shall come to each and everyone that is in My Kingdom. Those that have prayed, "Your Kingdom come" the Spirit of God says, listen - those that have prayed it - it is coming, it is coming, it is coming, it is coming! 2006 - this is the year, says the Lord, where I must multiply, I must increase your faith, your vision. And those that were once great and stood - blindness took over and caused them to fall into addictions. This is My promise to the men and women that stand in this building that have felt the power of subtraction and how the enemy has taken away, your enemy has no power. For even when he took away from you, I looked at you and said, because this illegal action has taken place I will return to them and multiply and bless them in a way that they've never been blessed before, says the Lord. 

For even as the Northeast is being flooded this time, God said, this is no small thing. For God says, this shall happen all over this Nation, and it shall even happen in the desert. And they shall say, why? Why what is the sign of rain? You ask Me what is the sign of rain, do you not understand? It is a sign that there is an abundance coming. It is a sign that the power of Jezebel and witchcraft is being brought down, says the Lord. 

The power of witchcraft is being brought down to nothing, in the schools, in the colleges, in the universities, in the campuses. Oh there shall be crusades on the campuses of America. Oh yes. And they shall arrest; there shall be arrests; they shall arrest them on the campuses, even here. Tacoma, Tacoma, Tacoma, oh how they want you, how they cry out for you to stumble and to fall down. But God said, you shall present to the Nation the truth for there will be campus crusades. God said, I will raise up crusaders. They will have the zeal of God. They will have a burning jealousy. They will say, we are jealous for God and if we are to be thrown in prison so it shall be. What a shame for this Nation that once said, Christ is our King, to now legislate, to now arrest and to throw into the prisons those that proclaim My name. God said, did they not understand that as they threw my disciples in prison it was from that place that I erupted, that I shook the earth, that I saved the warden, that I saved the Roman centurions, that I saved the utmost. God said, listen, it shall be that as they arrest them, as they arrest them, God said, it shall be a sign. For Larry King will even call and say, enough of this, we must speak to these, we cannot allow this. God said, can I take a Jew? Can I take a Jerry Lewis and cause him to speak on My behalf? Oh yes can I take a Mohamed Ali and get him to speak? Oh, the nation of Islam, you have held these too long. I'm going to raise them up and they are going to speak My Word, says the Lord! 

Oh when I say that there is a sign where the soil of this Nation shall be soaked, soaked and soaked, God says, do no fear and say it is destructive - very few deaths. God said, it shall not be destructive. There are certain destructions that shall happen. But God said, listen it is a sign - for God said, don't you understand that when this rain comes and it has already started that the soil shall be soaked and they will say, oh is it bad. But God said, listen, it is good. Even as I told you that it shall cause men to run and accelerate as Elijah said, run for your life for there is the sound of an abundance of rain. And it came. Even so Jezebel was removed. What else will the rain bring? The rain will bring an Elisha spirit. A double portion shall be raised up for the Kingdom of God, says the Lord of Hosts! 

Gatekeepers of Tacoma: Gatekeepers of Tacoma: Hear the Word of the Lord. Protect My sheep. Feed My sheep. Feed My sheep. Guard, stand at the gates, stand on the walls and be watchmen. For God says, you are responsible to bring in this very next move of the Spirit, the great harvest that shall begin this summer - to reach the drug addicts, the atheists, to reach those that we never thought would come in. For God said, Tacoma, it is upon you, and I am putting it upon you to take this. For in Belleview there shall be great sounds - sounds of victory, sounds of outreach, sounds of breakthrough. But the greatest move of My Spirit shall be upon the campuses and in the prisons. And God said, rejoice, for in those two places there shall be a holiness that shall reach into the hearts of young men and young women. 

Prophesied by Kim Clement over the Pacific Northwest, in 2006. 

Five "Hot Pockets" in the Nation

This is a transcribed word of the Lord prophesied at PMI Glory Institute in Chicago, Illinois on February 13, 2011:

I hear the voice of the Lord! I'm telling you, I hear the sound of rain. I'm seeing rain in the desert. I'm seeing rain where it never rained! I'm hearing the sound of Heaven. I'm hearing the majesty of the King, and I hear Him saying, "Grace! Grace I will pour out unto you. Grace I will give you. Oh Church, rise up in grace. The throne of grace is open to you."

I see the waters filled with diamonds. I see a flood of the walls of Heaven. I see the breath of the Ruah of God. I hear the sound of exhale from Heaven. There's an exhaling coming from Heaven. And God will say to His people, "My Son is sufficient for you. My Son is sufficient for you." I hear the Son. I see the Son looking at His Father. He's saying, "These are the children of the Most High. What shall We do to bless them this day?" The Father smiles... He exhales!

I see flames, I see arrows, and I see frames... many frames. Like picture frames. People are about to get visions. For where there's been no vision, the people perish. "But I am about to say to the seer that has not seen, 'You will start to see with a new vision.' I'm about to say to the speaker who has not spoken, 'You are about to speak with new dimensions of authority.'"

"I Laid Down My Life For You, But You Must Pick Up My Life"

I was awakened this morning, and I was taken up above the earth. I was in this atmosphere where there was a crust on the atmosphere. I heard the Lord say, "Look into this." As I looked into the crust I saw a blister and it burst. I saw what really did not compute to my own understanding. I saw dollar signs come out. I saw houses come out. I saw people come out with rags on.

There's a blistering about to happen over the nation. The ceiling has been burst. The debt has been burst. "And I say to you, oh Church, it's the finances of the Church that will save the nations. For upon the visitation of your gift that you give unto Heaven, that will be the release of grace I send to the below. The blister is not pretty, but those who have given will be taken care of, and those who have must take care of those who have not. For I am calling My Church, I am calling My people to be givers like never before. I love you so much," says the Lord, "that I came into this earth, dispatched from My Father. I laid My life down for you. But you must pick up My life, Church. You must pick up My essence, My being, My Presence.

"Where is the promise that you gave unto Me? says the Lord. "Where's that promise you gave unto Me?" says the Lord. "I cannot be threatened by your promises. For many times your promises have been in vain.... out of your own will and out of your own imagination. But I tell you a greater glory is coming, and when it comes your promises that you give to Me will be the promises that I have released to you. For I am wiping away the backsliding." Come on, somebody! "I am wiping away the fear. I am wiping away the word 'no,' and I am giving you yes, yes, yes, yes!"

Five Pockets in the Nation from Hollywood to New York

There are five pockets in the nation. Their pockets are deep. Their pockets run deep into the earth. They are firmly rooted in this earth. But I tell you, their heads are in the clouds. These five pockets – one pocket is Hollywood. I tell you, Hollywood has its head in the clouds, living in the imagination of God. So Lord, we break the perversion off the imagination. We break the perversion off the imagination and we release the truth of God in Hollywood.

There's another pocket, pocket two, that's in New York. There's a group of people that are in New York that have been praying to see My glory. So Lord, we speak to New York, and we ask You, God, to release the truth in New York. Where is the witness in this house?

There's another pocket, pocket three, and it's in Georgia. The state of Georgia is carrying a deep pocket. There are signs, wonders and miracles in Georgia. People will start flocking to Georgia, and it's going to move over into Alabama. It's going to go into Tennessee, and it's going to go... Oh, thank You, Jesus, it's going into South Carolina, hallelujah! It's coming up through Ohio, it's coming into Indiana, and it's going through Kentucky, and it's coming into Illinois. Chicago will be a place where God's glory will be made manifest! God will move from the region of Chicago! That is a pocket! Chicago, you are a pocket – pocket four!

There's another pocket, pocket five, in the upper west coast. Its face is toward Canada, and its feet are toward America. I am saying to you from this region there will be a great revival! It'll be birthed from this region! All hail King Jesus! Go west, young man; go west, young woman! I'm telling you, God is raising up a band of people from the northwest area of North America, and there is going to be another pocket of revival where miracles, signs and wonders, miraculous healings and many are raised from the dead!

And the Lord said, "I'm going to teach you how to laugh at the Lord's enemy when he comes up in your face! You're going to laugh at the Lord's enemy when he comes in your face, and your laugh will be the flood I will raise against his house." Ha! Ha! Ha! I see the flame of Yah. I see this flame, and it's filled with the color purple and the color blue. I'm about to release into this assembly a spirit of revelation. There will be a destiny! You will begin to revelate in your sleep, you will begin to revelate on the TV, you will revelate on the computer, you will revelate talking. All of a sudden you will say, "I don't know where that came from," and you will know that it came from God because it is glory! It is God's Word.

A Spirit of Revival is Coming, But It's Not What We're Accustomed To

I see a spirit of revival, but it's not the revival we're accustomed to. I see many diving back into the Scriptures. I see revelation – revelation coming forth from the Scripture. I see a whole new wave of glory coming. I hear Him say, "I'm about to unfold another mystery. I'm about to give you another key to the Kingdom. I'm about to give you an audience with the Majesty."

I see a lion. He is huge. I hear the Lord telling me that he's 20 stories high, and he's walking across the land. He's been in Egypt. He's been roaring in Egypt, and he's walking into Israel; he's getting ready to walk into Israel, and he's going to raise his face to the sky. He's going to roar! He's going to roar in Israel! The line that has been drawn by the Blood of Emmanuel's veins between the United States and Israel will not be broken.

"But if a nation of people, not the land, will humble themselves and pray, I will give you the land, I will change the land, and I will change the atmosphere, because the framework is coming in." Come on, somebody! The framework is coming in! The framework is coming in!

EDITORS NOTE: I believe the framework spoken of here to be the proper alignment and coming into rank and file of the five fold ministry. Especially the apostolic and prophetic foundation, framework, skeleton upon which the Body is built.

"I have set boundaries. I'm beginning to set new boundaries. I'm going to tell you, the sky's the limit!" Glory to God! The sky is the limit! Sing the chains are gone...

My chains are gone, I've been set free,
My God, my Savior has ransomed me,
And like a flood, His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace.

Praise God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah for grace! Grace, grace, grace, grace! Hallelujah, glory to God! Come on somebody, praise the Lord!

Word for Paisley Oregon

April 2, 2001

This is only a holding pattern in Paisley.

But God says, "I want to give you something Paisley that you couldn't have gotten anywhere else.

And you're going to go back into the places of your origin but you won't live there, but you'll go back and forth, and God says that your network ministry will be all over the globe and God's going to use you to start fires. You're going to carry the matches and seeds of revival .

And God said you'll be weeks here, or months here. you'll charge people for Jesus. (not in dollars)

God will use you to bring revival and the passion of God. And that might even bear some weight on some of your future decisions.

What decisions you'll make because the weight of all your decisions must be.. "Is this for harvest, and is this going to bring glory to God?"

Even though it may seem like good things, they must be God things.

God will give you discernment and understanding to make the right decisions because it all balances the weight would be to impact people for Jesus. You don't have to forsake careers.

Often God gives you dreams to give God glory.


No doubt revival is coming to this church. I see an alliance between the three churches. A holy alliance, already there, God will enhance and command a blessing. Harvest and productivity, changing the productivity in the ground. Fruit, much fruit of harvest. I see God blessing as a direct sign of the blessings of God. The natural commodities in this town.

Rebuke rumors of drought. Call an abundance of rain. We will see and hear an abundance of rain. God, You will open up supernatural springs in this area if necessary. You will break up the fountains of the deep if necessary. As the church comes together in this area, as they obey a Holy Vision to accommodate Your move and Your people and come into an alliance as they already are moving in that direction. You will command a blessing that will change the very climate in this area and God You will open up the very ground if necessary. The water will come. Watch and see.

If you've got to speak to the rock speak to it, if you've got to strike the ground strike it.

And I will feed My people I will water this land. Doubt it not! Doubt it not! I will do it!

And then when others from other places come and say, "What is this?" We don't have any, but you do?" and you will say, "Jesus! Jesus!" You'll be like Joseph in Egypt, you'll say "God has sustained us and in times of famine we have laughed. The Bible says in Psalms In times of famine you will laugh.

And it will all be a product of your obedience to a Holy call to unity to lay down your own agendas and say God at all cost Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." We pray you would accompany Your Word from all sources that it comes from with signs and wonders of God. Signs in heaven above and earth beneath. This will be a center of revival, and model of unity and an example of God's love and compassion.

My Power Is In Portland

This city is a pivotal place of power says the Lord. A hinge on the door of revival. A foothold into the higher places of My glory. Many will pass through her and be saved. Portland is positioned for an open Heaven. Like the shepherds in the field by night, so will they be in this place of visitation. In the fields by night. I will set a precedence in Portland. Nations will look to her and be glad. A city upon a hill that cannot be hid.

I have positioned Portland says the Lord. A crossroads of My glory and power. Portland is a pinnacle of My presence. A Jerusalem, a Judah. In it you will hear My voice. From her streets you will find the treasures out of darkness that hold the secrets to the future. In her you will discover keys of revival and restoration, stored up for generations and generations. Prepare yourself O Portland for the former and latter rain. I am going to pour out on Portland, I am going to pour out on Portland.

In this hour I will break down the barriers that have separated church and state, church and street. I will force the issue of outreach and evangelism in this place. I will move the fire and water until My church follows. I will blow upon Portland's surplus until she obeys by command to go. I will close the doors of opportunity if she does not hear My voice, "Whom shall we send? Who will go for us?"

Portland is a spiritual power source. The enemy is trying to tap into it and steal the hidden treasure. Do not allow another generation to be lost Portland. Do not allow another day of visitation to set. Seize the moment Portland! Seize the day of the Lord! This is My appointed time, the day of your salvation is at hand. The day of My sovereign plan. Behold I stand at the door and knock Portland, behold I stand at the door and knock.

Do not overlook the youth, for in them you will find My heart. In their heart you will find My heart. Phenomena amongst the youth are about to take place. Market place prophets in Portland, prophesying, preparing, the way of the Lord. Youth in the hi-ways and bi-ways of Portland with power and position possessing the land. Portland it is time to possess. How long will you be slack to go in and possess the land that I have promised your forefathers? Portland, I have promised the heathen as you inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth as your possession. Stir yourself O daughter, stir yourself.

I stand to the East and I knock. Then to the West and I knock. Now at the North I knock. In the South I will visit as well. In the South East I will come with a whirlwind and a fire. To the west I will throw down the walls that have divided. To the North I will come in like a flood washing away the debris of division. I am coming says the Lord! I am coming with My presence and power to Portland! The day that they have looked for afar off has come! The day of their visitation is here!

A Word to Washington State

A time of unsettling is upon you. The things and the weights and the sin that so easily has beset you is being shaken. Those things that can be shaken will now be removed says the Lord. They shall be removed. The things that have obstructed the move of My Holy Spirit for My childrens' sake, shall be removed. They shall be spit out like a lukewarm thing says the Lord.

"And now the axe is laid to the root of the trees, therefore every tree which brings not forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire..." (Matthew 3:10)

The prophetic remnant that has been hid and concealed is now in this hour being revealed. I am bringing them to the forefront with anointing and power. Like living stones, they will begin to cry out. They will not be stifled or constrained any longer, My Word will be heard in the land. They will declare things that have been hidden and in the dark, they will bring them to the light in this hour. They will shine and not be extinguished says the Lord. Their passion will not be quenched. I will defend them, I will fight for them, and all that can be shaken will be cast away.

"Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the Day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." (1st Cor. 3:13)

The oppressed will now be free! The stifled and rejected will now speak. Those that have been refrained and restrained will now arise with the glory of the Lord in their eyes! Fire will precede them, revival will follow them! My voice in them will be heard in the land. This is My will and My command, My servants will not stumble but stand! Says the Lord!

"I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear, and anoint your eyes with eye salve that you may see..." (Revelation 3:18)

A cloud of political unrest overshadows you. Some have chosen the lie. Now in this season the fresh breath of reason and wisdom will blow over you, you will now respond to my question, "Come, let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Now is the time to fulfill the purposes I have put in you says the Lord. Now is the time to remove the spirit of heaviness and replace it with the garment of praise! Now is the time! Now is your time!

"...When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon you..." (Isaiah 43:2)

You have looked from afar off and said, "How long Lord? How long? How long will we have to wait for the sound of an abundance of rain?" I declare to you, O Washington, " a sound of an abundance of rain", a distant thunder, a great catch, a move of My Spirit upon the deep, a harvest is upon you. The weak of My flock will now say, "I am strong!" The poor among you will surely declare, "I am rich because of what the Lord has done for me!"

"The sound of an abundance of rain", a distant thunder, a move of My Spirit, a harvest is surely upon you. Your children will exclaim, "The Lord has come down! Suddenly He has visited His temple!" "But who may abide the day of His coming? And who shall stand when He appears? For He is like a refiners fire and a fullers' soap, and He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of fire: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness."(Malachi 3:2&3)

I have long suffered, now I will save. I have waited patiently for you, now I will come. As an all consuming fire I will come. As a purifier and refiner of silver I will come. "And I will come near to you in judgement; and I will be swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and turn away the stranger from his right, and fear not Me, saith the Lord of Hosts. For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed." Says the Lord.

I feel I hear the Lord saying prophetically:

“I have called this region. I have called peoples of this region to be on the “cutting edge” of the purposes that I’ve intended before the foundations of the world. I call the churches in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve given prophetic words to men and women over the last decades and I’ve said, behold I intend a new thing in the Pacific Northwest. And I’ve sent showers on top of showers of rain an abundance of rain an outpouring and many have yet missed it and said, “That’s just the way it is for us”. And the Lord says, no. Noah’s flood I’m offering to you. The rain in My Spirit I’ve offered you and it’s just a precursor to that that’s to come, because I desire to open the fountains of the deep and the windows of Heaven in this place. Here in this church, here in this city, here in this region. And I’m about to show you what it really means to live as I’ve created you to live. I’m about to take the boxes that you’ve been living in and the circles that you’ve been hiding under and I’m about to break them asunder. I’m about to take the hammer of My Word and knock the ends out of the boxes. I’m about to release you from the prisons of confinement and the constraints that have kept you in the sameness theology that you’ve been living in”.

And you have said, “Lord will You do it? How can You do it? Lord, when will it happen”?

And I believe the Lord says, “It has begun. It’s already begun. You just don’t know it. Because I’m calling in this area a creative anointing. I’m calling a original anointing. I’m getting you in touch with the creative pulse of Heaven. And I’m going to do something extraordinary. Haven’t you noticed how I’ve positioned the marketplace here? And how the riches people in the world live here. And the most creative and innovative technical people are in this area. Haven’t you got a clue says the Lord? Cause as it is in the natural so it is in the Spiritual. Don’t you know that I’m going to advance technology in this region and I’m going to even move more men and women of influence into this region”?

And you said, “Lord why”?

“I say, as it is done in the natural it is in the Spirit. As it is done in the marketplace it is done in the Church. And I’m going to bring the Church to a new place of creativity; a new place of inventiveness. And I’m going to cause witty inventions to come out of the Church and creative expressions to come out of the Church. I’m going to kick the doors of constraint and the doors of confinement down. And out of the Church is going to come glorious, progressive, on the “cutting edge”, expressive, never seen before, unprecedented move of the Spirit of God in this place, in this region. For I have spoken over the Pacific Northwest by prophets for decades now and I’ve declared it and they have declared it. You’ve heard it and said we’ve heard it’s been declared. The Lord says, enough with the declaring, let’s start the doing. I’m going to cause the doing to begin to happen. And you’re going to do, you’re going to do, you’re going to do. And you’re going to embrace and you’re going to do, you’re going to embrace and you’re going to do. And I’m going to cause an accelerated thing to happen in this region. And it shall happen with a great shaking in 07. You shall see. The region shall shake and the grounds shall shake”.

And you’ll say, “What is this”?

And the Lord shall say, “This is the beginning. This is the beginning of what I’m about to do. Because I’m shaking everything that can be shaken so that which remains, only remains”.

And you said, “Lord why”?

And the Lord says, “Cause I’m shaking you out of your sleep cause the Scripture says, “Arise and shake yourself, arise”. Isaiah the prophet says, “Arise and awake you that sleep and God shall give you life”. For I am waking the Church in this area. And I’m awakening your intellect. I’m awakening your passions. I’m awakening your spirit. I’m awakening your heart. I’m awakening every nuance of your personality. I’m awakening old visions and old dreams and bringing them into a new context. I’m awakening your passion. I’m awakening your destiny.

There is an awakening happening in this area says the Spirit of the Lord. And you’re going to see it in incredible, incredible, incredible, incredible, incredible expression. So get ready in 2007 get ready for Me to begin to express Myself in a new way. You will step over a marker at the end of this year when Christmas passes and January 1 begins there will be a change in the atmosphere over this region. And you will feel the shift. It will be a shift. It will be a shift in the Spirit realm. It will be a shift in the kingdom of principalities. It will be a shift in all the other things. There shall be even a technical shift in this region and you’ll feel technology take a new accelerated pace; something extraordinary in the realm of technology once again is going to emerge from this part of the nation. And it shall redirect the course of history and industry and monies and corporate America because the Lord says, I’m going to do it again. I’m going to give the wisdom here again.

So get ready for that. And get ready for stuff that you’ve never even imagined that you could embrace or put your arms around. Cause I’m causing an army to come from this area. And the Lord says, haven’t you got it? Why would I plant the international and the headquarters for Women’s Aglow in this area? Why would I put the riches people in this area? I’m doing something as a microcosm of what I’ve called in this area.

So the Lord says, there’s an army of destiny arisers, an army of women arising that are anointed and equipped that have leadership in apostolic and prophetic and pastoral anointings on their life and I’m causing this epicenter in this place to begin to shake with a move of God and out of here is going to come a progressive model of what I’m about to do. Because I’m linking technology with spirituality and I’m linking the genders and I’m linking the denominations and the mindsets.

And there’s going to be a coming together of minds in this area and there shall be a spiritual think tank. But not only a think tank but a “do” think tank. I’m going to cause you to do. I’m going to cause you to think first and then to do. But it is in the doing that I’ll establish the thinking and it is in the doing that will establish the expression of what I’m doing. And I will establish the model of My Kingdom and it is in the doing of something so extraordinarily different. So don’t model after other moves of God. Don’t try to figure out what I’m doing in the rest of the nation. Don’t even wonder what I’m doing in the countries that are around you. Just say, God what are You doing in this region? What is indigenous to this region? What is created for this region? What is right for us as a people? Give us something that no one else has ever had. Give us something that is ours that we can own.

The Lord says, I’ve heard that from your heart. And I said Amen. I will. You’re about to see it. And the door of opportunity is opening to that in February to March of 07. And you’re going to begin to walk through that door into a broad place of expression and creativity and I shall change the climate in this area. I shall change the climate in the natural but I shall change the climate in the Spiritual and the climate of the Church in this area. And the Lord says I shall bring Holy Spirit oil on the hinges of the Church doors in this region and they shall open without noise. And they shall open with ease and the doors will swing open and the peoples will begin to flow into here.

And no longer will it be said that Washington is an unchurched state. It shall be said that Washington is a place of believers and it’s an epicenter of revival of what God is doing. For I shall pour it out into Oregon and into the other states and even south you shall see the revival fire spreading in this region”.

And you shall say, “Lord why”?

And the Lord says, “To you if I told you you wouldn’t understand because it’s tied into geography and principalities and the Kingdoms and a lot of things you wouldn’t get and more than that into My deciding and into My intentions. So the Lord said, no more questions. No more prayers about it. No more complaints about it. Just consider it done because it is done and it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done, it is done. And the Lord says you shall know”.

You shall say, “Lord there is a change of guard”.

Because the Lord says, “In the next few years there shall be a people of visibility pass on to the next life. It shall be a sudden thing. Some of you will say, what was that? And the Lord says, it’s going to be a sign that the old is passing and the new is coming. There’s things that are passing away in the public limelight in this region in the next few years cause there is a change of guard and a transition of power in this region says the Spirit of the Lord. So get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, put your running shoes on, get your briefcase and your purse ready, get ready, get your car running spiritually because I’m about to drive you on a tour like you have never been on before and I’m going to drive you into places you’ve never been before”.

And you said, “Lord we have no other place to go but into the Ocean”.

And the Lord said, “I’m going to bring it right into the waters. You’re going to see it’s going to jump the waters. It’s going to go up to the north. It’s going to touch the Alaska coastline too. And you’re going to see the shaking of the Lord and the hand of the Lord in all of this. But more than that you’re going to see the release of Lord, as I release an explosion of supernatural expression all the way from mid-Alaska down the coastline through the extreme west of Canada all the way down into California and it shall be the hand of the Lord. Big it shall be. Big it shall be. But they shall say, where did it come from? And the Lord says, from the epicenter. And they shall say, where is the epicenter? And they’re going to say Pacific Northwest is the epicenter of what God is doing in the region”.

So Lord we receive that.
