There's Another Shaking Coming to the Border of Washington and Oregon, to Portland & Vancouver.

There’s another shaking that’s coming to the border of Washington and the border of Oregon.

There’s another shaking that’s coming in the city of Portland. A shaking in Vancouver. For God says that I’ll touch both Oregon and Washington State. And I’ll pour out a double portion that will flow into both states.

For I’m doing something in the Northwest says the Lord, that no man will get the glory for. But this shall be a spiritual quake, a shaking out of a religion, says the Spirit of God, a religion that calls itself “woke.”

But the Lord says, I’m bringing a great awakening, and I’ll start on the west coast. For I will call pastors both in Washington state as well as in Oregon to collaborate and come together for an outpouring that will not be in just one place or one location, but will be in multiple cities and in multiple places.

For all across these states, says the Spirit of God, there have been wells of revival that have been dug. But the enemy has covered them up, but I’m bringing a flood. I’ll flood Oregon. I’ll flood Washington state.

And these states will never be the same. For the Spirit of the Lord says the catalyst will be an earthquake that is upon the fault line between – oh my – between Washington State and Oregon.

And the Lord says that I will fill, I will fill the city and the states with my presence. It will go across the state in every place. It will fill even the state house, God says. And I’ll shake out this agenda of “wokism.” And I’ll replace it with an awakening says the Spirit of God.

The Current Shaking

I live in a small historic gold rush town. The buildings that line our downtown were constructed in the mid-1800s. The construction materials of choice were brick and mortar. 

While they look strong, if an earthquake takes place the mortar will weaken releasing their hold on the bricks and our cherished history will lay in piles of rubble at our feet. The last significant earthquake in the region happened over 300 years ago. Our downtown was built without that consideration.

In the natural world, prolonged shaking during an earthquake is what produces damage. Once the shaking is over it leaves behind damaged buildings and infrastructures, people are injured or killed and entire regions are left in disarray and ruin.

In God’s kingdom shaking has another purpose. It disassembles the weak things where we mistakenly placed our trust apart from God. After this season of shaking is over, we will have an opportunity to work in concert with the Spirit to construct new and lasting spiritual structures able to endure the trauma that always comes with living on the fault lines of an unstable world.

So much is shaking in our world. We are currently living through a prolonged social quake. God is allowing this shaking to take place to disempower those things not worthy of our trust. Misplaced trust is like the mortar between bricks. It will crumble under the influence of intense shaking.

Every spiritual shaking throughout the history of the Church has caused us to reevaluate where we have placed our trust. Any rebuilding process we engage in will hopefully consider that issue. Everything around us can fall to the ground but our hope will always be secure if we have placed our trust in Jesus Christ and Him alone.

The Lord experienced an earthquake when the stone was rolled away from the entrance to His tomb. “Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it” (Matthew 28:2).

Resurrection followed that shaking 2,000 years ago and it will follow the shaking we are now experiencing. A season of shaking will always carry with it the promise of resurrection and reconstruction if our hope has been placed in the faithfulness and goodness of God.

A Field of Dreams or Nightmares?

Note from NWP Editor: It's our judgment (per 1 Corinthians 14:23) that this has application to Northwesterners.

NOTE FROM RICK JOYNER: This is a word that was first circulated in The Morning Star Journal, Volume 6.2. Because so many have reread this and felt that it addressed our present situation, we decided to re-release it. With the exception of a few word changes for the sake of clarity, this is exactly what was circulated in April 1996. I still agree with the interpretation included.

     While praying about the future of our economy, I was given a vision of a long, lush green field. I felt that this represented a long period of economic prosperity, which has generally been the case since that time. While praying in August 1995, I saw this field in a vision again, but with much more detail. The end of the field was covered in fog. Not far into the fog there was a very steep cliff. In the middle of the cliff, there was a narrow, twisting, steep path that appeared like a descending bridge. It had the same green grass on it that the field did and went all the way to the bottom.

     Those who walked into the fog almost all missed the little path and fell over the cliff. Some of these died, but nets below the cliffs caught many of them. However, these nets were not there to save the people but to trap them. Others entered the fog carefully, dropping to their knees and searching for the path, which they seemed to intuitively know was there. Most of those looking for the path were able to find it and carefully started down on their knees. A few people had parachutes, and they jumped off the cliff into the fog.

     At the bottom there was a sea with four kinds of ships in the harbor: slave ships, warships, luxury liners, and hospital ships. Most of the ships were slavers. The next greatest number was warships. There were only five hospital ships, all of which were on clean, well-kept docks right in the middle of the harbor. The two luxury liners were docked at each end of the harbor. An abundance of supplies were on their docks, but both the docks and ships looked filthy and poorly maintained. No warships were docked, but all kept moving about in the harbor.

     The people who fell into the nets were put on the slave ships. Most of those who made it down the steep paths headed for the hospital ships, but many did head for the luxury liners. Of those who headed for the luxury liners, some were captured and made to board a slave ship.

     The luxury liners were closely guarded, and obviously under the control of the warships. The warships occasionally took people from the slave ships and luxury liners, and they were taking whoever they wanted—they could not be resisted.

     Those from the hospital ships were also taking people from the other ships. However, they only took the weakest or those who were so sick or wounded and not expected to live.

     The crewmen of the hospital ships were shown respect because they wore brilliant armor that seemed to confound everyone else. Those who were jumping off the cliff with the parachutes were all landing on the hospital ships or their docks.

     When a slave ship would fill up it would depart, making frequent turns as if it knew where it was going. The warships were also making so many turns that it seemed impossible to tell which way they would go next. Any ship that happened to be in the way of a warship when it turned was blasted and sunk by the warship. If the warships turned toward each other, they started shooting at each other until one was sunk.

     Because of the fog, many ships collided with other ships and sank. The water was filled with sharks that quickly devoured those who fell into it. The confusion, despair, and fear over the harbor were as thick as the fog. When the fog thickened, these fears would intensify. When the fog would thin a little, hope would begin to rise in the people. When the fog lifted enough so that the open sea could be seen, the ships would begin heading for it.

     The hospital ships were also the only ones who seemed to be sailing as if they knew where they were going. They could sail right through the chaos in the harbor and into the open sea at will. One or two of them were constantly going out to sea, disappearing for a time, and then they would return. Then another would go and do the same.

     As I followed one of these ships to the open sea in the vision, all of a sudden it was as if I was standing on the bridge of the ship. The farther out we went, the more the sky cleared. Soon it became bluer than I had ever seen it, except when flying in a high altitude jet. I was so intrigued by the sky that I had not been watching the sea. When I looked back at it, I saw that we were actually flying at a very high altitude.

     I thought that we were going out into space, but soon we descended toward what appeared to be a whole new world. It was composed of islands, each with a different culture of people on it. The wounded on our hospital ship were placed on several of the different islands, so that each wounded person was placed with those from his or her own culture.

     These islands were at perfect peace, and there were beautiful white bridges connecting them to one another, with a constant flow of people on the bridges. On each island vast foundations were being laid for a great city.

     Even though each island was very different, and different from any place that I had ever seen, I felt immediately at home on each one. They were each like paradise, and though they seemed to be on a different world, I knew that they were somehow very close to the one I had just left.

Interpretation and Insights

     That I can now see the end of this field indicates that the end of our economic prosperity is now in sight. What I saw at the end was much more catastrophic than I had ever thought. There are some very dark times ahead, but at the same time there is a whole new world being built right in our midst that is more wonderful than we can even imagine.

     To the degree that we have built our lives and faith on the economy of the world, we have built on a very shaky foundation. We know that the time will come when everything that can be shaken will be. The time that we have been given until that happens is for the purpose of preparation. Let us build our hope and trust on the kingdom that alone cannot be shaken.

     Those who kept walking into the fog just as they had been walking in the open field, not discerning or not acknowledging the change, either perished or fell into slavery. Those who immediately fell to their knees found a safe way down, but it still led down. They had to stay on their knees all the way; no one could have stood up on that slope because it was too steep and narrow. Falling to our knees speaks of prayer. As soon as we see the fog, or confusion, we must pray for every step we take thereafter.

     That no one ascended, but all went down to the bottom of the cliff, spoke to me that the economy of the whole world was going down. Many will survive what is coming, but not at the level they are presently. Much of our present standard of living has been built upon credit, borrowing from the future, and the future is now here. We are fast approaching the time when the bills will have to be paid. That will cause a drastic reduction of our present lifestyles.

     I felt that the slave ships were banks. During the Great Depression, banks were so over extended that most of them failed. Somehow, they have now positioned themselves to not only survive another economic collapse, but will actually be in a place to enslave those who are in debt to them.

     The warships were all different sizes, and I felt represented different powers. Their efforts were not coordinated, but they all seemed to be in as much confusion as everyone else, and all seemed to be at war with one another. They lived by plundering the other ships and each other. I believe that in the times ahead, small wars will be flashing up almost everywhere and without apparent reason. Anyone who gets in the way of those with some power will be in trouble.

     The luxury ships were so filthy that it seemed only slightly better to be on one of them instead of a slave or warship. It was obvious that the luxury of the future will not be as we know it today. Also, the luxury ships were constantly being plundered by the warships, making them almost an intolerable place to be. Even a hint of luxury in the future may only serve to make us targets.

     I knew that the hospital ships were the church. They were glistening white with red crosses on them. They were so bright and clean that they stood out dramatically in this vision. White speaks of purity, and the red crosses spoke to me that they were bearing the cross. Red is also the color of sacrifice. These ships were so beautiful that anyone would have wanted to be on them. The church will become the most desirable place in the world to be, and the church will become the pure vessel she is called to be when she takes up the cross, committing herself to the life of sacrifice. In the times ahead, the life of sacrifice and service to others will be the most desirable life in the world and will actually be a glorious place to dwell.

     The people on the hospital ships each wore brilliant, silver armor. They, too, stood out dramatically whenever they appeared, and this caused everyone to show them great respect, even the warships. This spoke to me that when believers learn to wear their armor, they will command the whole world's respect and have authority because of it.

     The docks of the hospital ships were also spotless and were overflowing with supplies. There was far more wealth on them than on the luxury ships, but the wealth was being used for service, not luxury. Because the individuals with the armor and the hospital ships commanded such respect, no one was trying to plunder their great stocks of supplies, even though they were obvious to everyone.

     When a hospital ship pulled between two warships that were fighting, they would stop fighting and give them their wounded. It seemed that this was one of the primary purposes of these ships, to simply stop the fighting whenever they could.

     In the midst of the chaos of this place, the dignity, resolve, and purpose that the Christians and their ships moved with was stunning. The greatest feeling came over me when I stood on the bridge of the ship leaving for the open sea. That feeling was freedom. As soon as we entered the open sea, we ascended into the heavenly places. Once out of the fog, we did not travel on the earth. When we came back down, it was to a seemingly new earth, even though I knew somehow that it was right in the middle of what I had left.

     That I entered this extraordinary freedom on a hospital ship speaks of finding our true peace when we take up our crosses to serve others. When we do this, we will begin to dwell in the heavenly places. Then we will see the earth very differently—we will see what God is doing. I really felt that those paradise islands were already right in our midst, but we just could not see them yet.

     At the very time when the world descends into a terrible chaos, which will probably begin with economic chaos, God is building bridges between people that will be the foundation of a glorious future. The end of this age is the beginning of the one over which Christ will reign. In Revelation 17:15 we are told that, “The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.” The sea often represents mass humanity in prophetic language. That the sea at the bottom of the cliff was in the most terrible chaos represents what the kingdoms of this world are headed for. The islands represent that the Lord is also laying a foundation for His kingdom right in our midst at this same time. That I knew these islands were close to the sea of confusion spoke to me that what the Lord is about to build on the earth is also very close at hand.

     The bridges are right now being built between people. The bridges were for interchange, and it was obvious to me that each island was building something wonderful, as if it were the very best from their culture in order to share it with the other islands. That new foundations were being laid for cities represented a whole new beginning for the earth. What is now being built for the Lord, for the sake of His kingdom, will remain and be a foundation for the age to come.

ACPE Word of the Lord for 2012

The Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders met in late November to seek a word of the Lord for the coming year, as they have since 1999. Due to world-wide shaking, this was probably the most sobering council gathering to date. Many prophets around the world believe that the United States must make a major shift toward reformation in 2012 and that it will be a "do-or-die" year for the country to be re-established on the course of becoming the "city set on a hill" envisioned by our Founders.

Twelve in scripture represents government. This presidential election cycle will determine where we stand as a nation. The United States has already lost a measure of its greatness but, without a shift, will lose even more in the coming days.  In the Word for 2011, we felt it would either be a "tipping point year" or the year of the "perfect storm". Internationally, this seems to have been very accurate, as it was quite literally the perfect storm for Japan, much to our sorrow.
  
However, there was a sense that 2011's shaking was nothing like we'll see in the coming world-wide shaking. In the coming season, the whole Body of Christ must find her voice and authority in the nations of the earth and learn to "occupy" until He comes. The Council does not believe, however, that the end of the world will come in 2012, as some predict.

Shaking

There was a sense that Hebrews 12:27-29 was pertinent, as well as Revelation 12:10-12.
  
27 Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire. Heb 12:27-29 NKJV

Remember, our reality is that we live in a kingdom that cannot be shaken.  We must hold fast to the unshakable one.  What do we have in our lives that cannot be shaken"  Find out.  Those things that have shifted in this past season of purging and pruning will take us to a new and higher place in our lives and faith.

"10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time." Rev 12:10-12 NKJV

There is a coming shift where the Body of Christ will rise up as the "ekklesia" or legislative authority. Many pastors will throw off the bondages of political correctness and find their voice. Preachers will thunder from the pulpits and not compromise scripture. This will cause many politicians to realize that they have gone too far by standing in the place of the "accuser of the brethren" and the fear of the Lord will fall upon many.
  
This ekklesial shift will, for a time, cause the enemies' wrath towards believers, but they will find they have gone too far. The pastors of the United States and Europe will become the mouth pieces for both an awakening and a reformation. A new generation of Wesleys and Wilberforces will stand together and once again call for the church to rise as a moral authority.
  
This is an Acts chapter four season, where the enemy will persecute, but the church will counter in prayer like in days of old. Signs and wonders will break out and many will be saved.  Religious systems will fall and what remains will be God"s remnant. We must hold our positions without wavering.

Counter-attacks against reformers will be fierce, as Satan fights back with great wrath. This will happen in the media, but those who attack will find themselves under fire as God takes up the battle. Out of this will arise the ekklesia as a shining light that cannot be shaken!
  
Do not be intimidated by these attacks and you will win. The church will find her voice. The liberal media will particularly come against those who are pro-life and pro-biblical defense of marriage. Hate crimes will be tolerated and called acts of justice.

First, a holiness movement will come to the church and sin will not be tolerated. Those who will not repent will be exposed, because the Lord will remove those who are in sexual sin and pornography from His pulpits.

Economies Will Shake

Several additional scriptures were given that point to global economic shaking.

"34 You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth." Dan 2:34-35 NKJV

This will be the time when God"s kingdom will become that which fills the whole earth. The ekklesia will be the mountain that fills the whole earth. It was not given to us what this all means, but we had a surety that He has a plan. As the mountains crumble, God has prepared His people in banking, economics, education and governments who will have the answers. Even the military will change its systems.

Europe is going to shake, shake, shake. The EU, who felt they could leave God out of their government and even imprison pastors for preaching the gospel, is going to be dealt with by God, Himself. In the midst of the shaking, God is going to awaken the church as never before seen in history. Other nations such as Russia and parts of Asia will shake as well. In some nations, dictators will topple who have seemingly had such a deep hold on their nations that they have been considered immovable.

Many nations will experience rioting in the midst of the economic shakings. God will use this season to uproot the anti-Christ spirit, as many who were formerly favorable to "isms", such as Islam, will see it for what it truly is and turn to Christ. Turkey and Egypt will try to intimidate Israel. Again, the Lord spoke to us that we must stand with Israel.
  
Egypt will have its own Isaiah 19 season as God awakens the church in the squeeze and a great move of God will prevail in the end, even though for a season it will seem like the devil has the upper hand.

Even the United Nations will be shaken in this hour as never before and its agenda against Israel will be revealed.

Things are going to "crack open" financially. There will be a shaking of economic systems across the face of the earth. However, during this time, God will raise up his Josephs who have been prepared for this hour. The Lord was clear to us that we were not to get into fear.

We asked how to prepare and He said that we must have "crisis preparedness". This, we felt, meant that it was good to have some sort of provision, such as one would have in the event of an earthquake or some other disaster. While storing some amount of provisions was felt wise, there was a caution against hoarding motivated by fear.

"10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 11 'Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, 'Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD  your God is giving you to possess.'" Josh 1:10-11 NKJV

There were three important things to remember in this season:

1. Face your fears.
2. Prepare provisions
3. Realize that the Kingdom of Heaven cannot be shaken.

Israel will continue prospering in the midst of this shaking and many will go there for advice about how to establish their banking systems. Israel is in an Isaiah 60 season.

Shut the Door

It was sensed from Isaiah 22:15-22 that God wants His church "shut the door" to those who will try to stand in the highest offices of the nations who do not have a father"s heart for the people. Dramatic shifts will take place in election cycles. Some politicians are in the balance and will either vote righteously or go into a deep darkness.

In the United States elections, God is going to "blow away" the covering of some people and reveal the truly righteous and conservative. We are calling for a year of prayer and fasting for the nation. The United States has one year to shift or be seriously shaken.

Three Mountains of Influence

"25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their ministry, and they also took with them John whose surname was Mark." Acts 12:25 NKJV

"1 Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." 3 Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away."  Acts 13:1-3 NKJV

It is a new season for the prophets and the teachers to function together. The teaching gift and a strong foundation in the word of God must team up to keep deception out of the church. We need to recognize those who are in the office of the teacher and "set them in" just like we do the other ministry gifts.

This is especially important this year as the three most important mountains this year will be the church/religion, the family, and the government. God told us that He is bringing families back together and that we should place a focus on them. He is going to heal and restore family relations.

Also, the local church, functioning as the ekklesia of God will change nations in a greater way than we have seen in America since revolutionary days, when pastors went to war for freedom. The spirit of religion will be exposed in the places where it has operated with political correctness.

As the above scripture shows, with Barnabus, Saul and Mark, this is a time of God connecting the generations for ministry. It is a season of mentoring. The Elijah's and Elisha's will stand together. Mantles will shift, as from Moses to Joshua and from the John the Baptist's who have been preparing the way for a new Jesus People generation.

We will see a new missions move where many will hear the call of God to go to the ends of the earth in a measure that we have not seen since the Student Volunteer Movement with J.R. Mott. Many new women will arise in leadership as God raises up a great company of women. It's a Psalm 68:11 season: "The Lord giveth the word: the women that publish the tidings are a great host."

A rising movement of compassion ministries who will fight human trafficking will give the church a voice in society as never before. A plumb line from heaven will drop against sex traffickers. Revelations will come out, even about the involvement of top political leaders who are in sexual sin and it will shock the world. (Note: subsequent to our meeting, a world-wide exposure of sex trafficking made the news)

The Year of the House

"12 Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.'" 14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them." Matt 21:12-14 NKJV

This is the year of the house. The family represents the house as well as the church.  The ekklesia will become the house of prayer for all nations. This will purge those who have not shifted away from all political correctness. We will be able to see where the true wheat is and where the tares have grown up alongside. This is in God"s purpose so we will be able to see on what side people are standing. We must even be willing to sacrifice our not-for-profit status to speak the truth.

Pride will be revealed and a new humility will come to Christian leaders. The result will be that those willing to become a house of prayer will see great signs and wonders. Mass deliverance will break out and many will be supernaturally set free of deep bondages. There will be another Jesus People movement.

We received the word that the Lord wants a "prayer saturated church" and that He wants the whole church to pray - not just a select few. This word led us to see that God wants us to pray that the prayer movement in the United States would be restored. He reminded us of our prayer history:

1980's - A great move of God with an emphasis in the local church of early morning prayer and of praying the Lord's Prayer.
1990's - The prayer movement became mainly para-church and much was accomplished through initiatives such as AD2000 and Praying Through the Window.  This opened many nations for the gospel as they had never been opened before.  Also, Dr. Bill Bright led a movement of fasting and prayer.
2000's - God raised up the house of prayer movement on campuses.  This will continue and escalate, but prayer is going to return to local churches in a measure that we have not seen, until the whole church is praying.  The zeal for His house of prayer is going to return.  (John 2:17)

Children and Youth

"42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it;  44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. 48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have you done this to us" Look, your father and I have sought You anxiously." 49 And He said to them, "Why did you seek me" Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business""  Luke 2:42-49 NKJV

Even the children and youth will be affected by this coming prayer movement. Awakenings of both children and youth will sweep the earth. Jesus was twelve when he astounded the wise. There will be a generation of children and youth, especially the "tweens" who will arise in this hour like at no other time.

The prophetic promise to Jesus of Psalm 110:3 will be manifest, "Your people shall be volunteers in the day of your power.  In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of your youth."

Lou Engle puts it this way, "In the dark hours before dawn, the youth begin to collect.  The ground that was dry before now sparkles as far as the eye can see.  It is the enemies' worst nightmare to go to sleep, only to awake the next morning surrounded by an army that materialized out of thin air!  What had been an empty field is now filled with soldiers whose weapons glint in the sunrise.  Literally overnight, an army of devoted young people is going to arise out of this present darkness.  This vast youth army is already mobilizing.  Invisible now - Invincible later."

Cindy Jacobs adds, "This is God's breaker-of-the-dawn army! Fresh troops for the battle, burning with holiness and fiery with passion for the Lord! They are beautiful in holiness, and have the anointing to throw off the shackles of abortion, poverty, pornography, and sexual sins of all kinds, including homosexuality."

"Extreme holiness will be the order of the day. Counter-culture warriors who love God more than sleeping in, who give up the thrill of entertainment because they are enamored with the beauty of holiness. There is nothing more beautiful than holiness.  The seduction of the world cannot hold a candle to it. It is lovely beyond description.  No poet can use human words to describe its essence. They have fallen in love with the Lord Jesus Christ and He is beautiful beyond description."

"Smile," Says the Lord, "for I Am Thundering throughout the Earth!"

The following word was prophesied by Kim Clement on October 2, 2010 from The Den:

"Do Not Tremble at the Sound of Bad News"

God's Spirit says to you, "Are you expecting something from Me? Are you waiting and saying, 'God, any moment now something could happen?' Are you expecting something from Me?" For the Spirit of the Lord says, "If you are expecting, then I shall grant it to you in My time."

Those who fear the Lord, do not tremble at the sound of bad news. Do not tremble at the sound of bad news, for the Spirit of the Lord says, "I will release My voice, and I have, to overcome and resist the very enemy that has tried to take the joy away from My people.

"Smile," says the Lord, "for I am thundering throughout the earth. I am rushing to and fro throughout the earth," says the Lord, "hearkening unto the sound of My people and waiting to hear the sound of faith," says the Lord."I'm running throughout the earth," says the Lord.

God says, "I am working on your behalf. I am exercising the same power that I did for the children of Israel. When their enemies rose up against them, I arose," said the Lord.

"I Shall Cause My Earth to Bring Forth a Judgment"

"Let the earth shake," for God says, "the damage that your enemy has desired to do to you shall turn back and it shall be done to them. Would they come and stand on the Holy Ground that My people have established? No, I shall do the shaking," says the Lord.

"And when they point their finger and stick it into the nose of those who have stood and prayed, I shall break fingers and I shall cause My earth to bring forth a judgment. And even though it shall shake, the soil of the land shall shake in America, they shall say it did no harm or damage."

"Oh, What Changes are About to Take Place"

Lord, we stand upright before You in fear – not of man, but fear of God. I'm praying now that what You spoke would suddenly be saturated by Your people. If God be for us, who can be against us? "But Kim, our country is going down the drain."

No, it shall not be this, it shall not be the veil of Islam (Kim covers his face with his mantle), but the unveiling of Christ. Father, cast Your mantle upon us right now, on every home, every person that is watching me all over the world (Kim grips his mantle in both hands). Strike, Lord and let Your Name be exalted in this nation.

How the enemy has targeted Europe now, as we prophesied, and then America again. You've kept us, Lord. Oh, what changes are about to take place. The winds of change. The Spirit of Elijah, of Christ, is about to break through and bring families together – sons back to fathers, and those who are fatherless shall find the fathers. They shall find the father that they did not have. Father, reveal Yourself in this day and age, raise up fathers and Lord, touch every home and life right now.

You have made a promise so great that we stand fearing and trembling only at You, knowing that You will keep us. You said do something unusual in order to bring about something unusual.

The Potential Power of the Pacific Northwest

by ajcoulter

It would be easy to parallel the power held within a volcano as that meant for destruction, but I believe this is more in correlation with the potential of the power of God in individual churches, communities, and cities.

So when I mention volcanoes, I believe you could replace that word with any appropriate city, church, or even individual.

Recently, God dropped the Pacific Northwest (including Alaska) into my spirit. I began contemplating the numerous volcanoes that dot the mountain ranges there. Then it clicked. It was as if the Holy Spirit was showing me just a small glimpse into the dynamics of the Church in that region.

The Ring of Fire
The Pacific Northwest if part of a geological circle known as the Ring of Fire, where many active volcanoes are located. I believe this name to be prophetic nature for the region. The fire of the Holy Spirit is just awaiting to be loosed, much like Jeremiah prophesied that the Word of the Lord was like fire shut up in his bones (Jeremiah 20:9).

At one time, there was no doubt that these mountains were alive, releasing molten rock and changing the landscape around them. But now, years after their initial “eruptions,” these mountains lie dormant, or asleep, iced over and covered in snow; their mouths are now shut and closed off.

Rumbles of Revival
Even though these volcanoes may look asleep, they are very much alive on the inside. Once the pressure reaches a certain level, the mountain will then explode to action, shaking and quaking everything around it.

There have been major eruptions, or revivals if you will, in these mountains. Consider Mt. St. Helens and most recently Mt. Redoubt (whose name suggests another prophetic message all in itself. Let us not “doubt again” the power of the Holy Spirit and His capabilities in this region.)

What Does This Mean?
Churches and individuals in the Pacific Northwest have great potential to move in the power of God in these days. It is time now to pray for visitation, just as God did with Mt. Sinai, whose mountain probably looked very much like a volcano. The clouds of glory and the flames of the Holy Spirit can manifest once again with signs and wonders following those who believe. There is such a hunger for the things of God, and this region is ripe for the harvest!

As everything that can be shaken will be shaken, it is a great opportunity for the Church in the Northwest to manifest in power and display the glory of the Lord in a new and powerful way.

Get Ready For Our BRIGHTEST HOUR

From Cal Pierce:

In the World There is Tribulation

It seems that everything that can be shaken is being shaken. This is not the time for the Body of Christ to be discouraged. It is the time to encourage ourselves in the things of God. The Lord has told us these things. John 16:33 says:

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

We must remember that we are in the world, but not of the world (John 15:19). We are of another realm. We are of the Kingdom of God. In John 16:33, God tells His people to take courage because the world without God will fail, but we can have peace in the storm. We can have peace when we focus on Jesus and the Kingdom of God where our provision comes from.

Provision of the Kingdom - Trust in the Lord

When we focus on the world, we walk by sight and trust in man's order of things. Then we are aligned with what the enemy wants us to believe in. When we focus on God and His will, we align with the Kingdom of God and His provision. Listen to what God is telling us in Proverbs 3:5-10:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your body,
And refreshment to your bones.
Honor the Lord from your wealth,
And from the first of all your produce,
So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine."

The first thing God is saying is to trust Him with all our heart. God is not worried about man's economy. God has a Kingdom economy that He wants on Earth as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6:10). He tells us that if we won't lean on our own understanding, but in everything acknowledge Him, He will direct our path.

In other words, the keys to the Kingdom of God come to us as we trust and acknowledge Him. The provision of the Kingdom comes to the Believer by faith. We are not walking by faith if we have fear, because we are going by how things look. Proverbs 3:25-26 says,

"Do not be afraid of sudden fear,
Nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes;
For the Lord will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught."

When we trust in God, when He is our confidence, then He keeps us from the enemy's snare. When we focus on man's economy, we hold back because of fear. InProverbs 3, we are told to honor the Lord from our wealth so that our barns or houses will be filled with plenty.

God wants us to overcome by sowing so that we can have a harvest. We reap when we sow; this is the Kingdom release. It is opposite from the world's order of things that tells us to hold on to our seed. What good is it to talk about the Kingdom of God coming on the Earth as it is in Heaven if we don't possess it? Jesus said that "the Kingdom of God is at hand" – which means it is reachable.

Our Brightest Hour - Arise, Shine!

Now is not the time to hold back. It's the time to release God's Kingdom provision for healing and restoration to a desperate world. The world will be looking for answers more now than ever before. This should become our brightest hour. Isaiah 60:1-3 says,

"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.
And nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising."

Remember, be of good cheer and get ready!

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.

Two More Catastrophes

prophesied November 23, 2008:

"For there shall be two more catastrophes that shall not bring great numbers of death, and they will not be in the obvious places where people so easily can predict. No more on Louisiana, no more on Texas! There shall be little ones but they shall be laughed at."Remember the words of the Lord tonight.

"Chicago shall be shaken and they will say, 'Oh my God, this is one of the worst,' and then suddenly it will turn around and go the other way to a place where there are no people. But there shall be a lesson learned."

God says, "There will be another place and it is unfortunately California, so easy to prophesy about it because of the earthquakes, but one shall surely happen and there shall be such a divine intervention." God said, "The people that have lifted their finger and used the news media to mock Me and those that have said, 'We will never bow our knee,' as Voltaire said, will bow their knee." And God says, "I will shake the very homes and lives of certain ones."

I will Bring Forth a Righteous Media

"Michael Moore, do you really believe that I will kill innocent lives? I will shake you and you will make public appearance with your lip hanging," and God says, "I will keep you alive, I will not allow death to take you until you have sputtered out My name. This shall shake the community in Hollywood," and God says, "out of that shaking I will bring forth a righteous media that shall affect your children," says the Lord!

We declare righteousness on this Nation. God's going to invade the news media. God's going to invade every media that there is. He's going to challenge them. Oh yes, they will carry on reporting the bad news, but God said, "I will interrupt them and there shall be a shaking. And once I've shaken California, I will move to New York into Chicago, and you shall hear the sounds of victory," says the Lord of Hosts!

The Key I Give will Unlock Resurrection

Lord, You have given unto us the key of David and so it is, we shall unlock the mysteries of the Scriptures, for we have not unlocked everything. And these mysteries in the Scriptures that will be unlocked shall once again reveal the awesomeness, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence of our God in America.

Third world nations will no longer laugh at You and say, "Where are Your miracles? Look at ours." For God said, "The key that I give to you will unlock resurrection. Tonight, you prophesied 'rise up' and so it shall be even in your economy," says the Spirit of the Living God.
