Battle Preparations: Relax, He's Got This.

Last night I had several things on my mind as I got into bed. I listened to an audiobook for a while, trying to quiet my mind – worry isn’t great when you are trying to go to sleep. Not at all!

I had a dream that we were going into a battle or some type of war and all our soldiers were infants or toddlers – not battle-worthy in the least. This “war” wasn’t necessarily about bombs and guns but it was something coming up that would need to be fought for – and I was worried we would not be ready. I fretted about how this army could even begin to help the situation. I woke up then went back to sleep.

I’m not sure if I actually woke up or if that was part of the dream but some time had passed, like maybe a year. I took another look at our “army” and they were totally matured and ready to fight. They were all even in matching uniforms…black if I recall correctly.

I was astounded! How did that happen? My worries and fretting completely disappeared, to be replaced by encouragement and actually enlightenment. I suddenly know that we would win and my worries had been groundless. I was sure there would be no problem, it would be handled and would be successful.

I needed to trust and not have to figure everything out, it would be okay and everything would work out. There was a plan.

I (really) woke up and knew that this was, at least in part about some things I had been worrying about before going to sleep. I also think this dream was a reminder for some other things people might be concerned or worrying about. God has a plan! I “heard” the Digital Warriors will be ready -they look young and too immature but they WILL be ready when they are needed.

Season of Lost and Found!

December 1, 2007

Last night as I was getting on the Internet I noticed this story’s headline. I immediately felt a strong pulling in my spirit to read it. I felt the Lord saying He was going to say something to me through it.

Bracelet pulled from chicken is one clucky find

Boy's ID bracelet lost decades ago turns up in a gizzard from Minn. bird

updated 5:35 p.m. PT, Fri., Nov. 30, 2007

FAIRMONT, Minn. - More than two decades after Aaron Giles lost his identity bracelet, he's finding how it was discovered tough to swallow.

A meat cutter at Olson Locker in Fairmont came across the shiny object in a chicken gizzard and saw a name, address and phone number engraved on it.

"I've heard of livestock swallowing unusual objects, but this situation stands out," Mark Olson, who owns the meat locker, told the Sentinel of Fairmont.

Giles had lived in Fairmont as a child and played hide-and-seek and other games with his brothers in their grandfather's barn near Sherburn.

"I would spend most of my time out at his farm, and that's the only place I can think of that I would have lost it," Giles said about his bracelet on Thursday. The 31-year-old said he thinks the bracelet was lost when he was 4 or 5.

The barn was dismantled a few years ago, and Giles thinks his bracelet was imbedded in materials used to construct another barn in Elmore, about 45 miles away.

The bracelet was found in a chicken that came from an Elmore farm.

Olson was able to track down Giles' father, who had moved to Arizona. Giles, who now lives in Gloucester, Mass., said he received his old bracelet in September.

"It was in pretty immaculate shape. Everything was working on it, and all the engravings on it were still legible," Giles said. "It was quite the surprise."

Giles said he expects the bracelet to stay in his family for many years to come. "I have no plans on trying to lose it again," he said.

As I read this story I felt God saying there were things that have been laid aside, lost or stolen a long time ago that are getting ready to be returned. I have continued to feel God brooding over this story, pulling me to look at it again and again. And today I realized it was because this message was not just for me but for many of you as well!

I feel God saying that many have had their Identities stolen in some way or another. Who we are in Christ, who we were always meant to be has been laid aside or lost somewhere along the way. I sense that we are getting ready to come into our full inheritance as Daughters and Sons of the most High and parts of ourselves and who we are in Him is getting ready to be restored to us in unusual ways. He also pointed out that the ID bracelet was returned TO him. He did not go hunting for it. It feels like many have lost apart of who they are, sooooo long ago that they don’t even have hope of it being returned to them. There isn’t even a realization that something is missing. How can you go after something that you don’t know exists?

I also saw many of us coming back full circle. In life God often teaches us with specific emphasis and then HE goes on to other subjects and impartations. These seasons and what He teaches through them become apart of who we are and gives us Key’s and tools to respond like He wants throughout all life’s experiences. I see us coming back to lessens learned long ago. I see us coming to a season where He says, “Now is the time to pick up and combine all I have taught you through the years.”

God is taking us corporately into a season where we will need ALL we have learned over the years!

I see us like Knights that have trained for a long time. Sometimes emphasis has been on the sword, sometimes it has been on the javelin, other times we have learned to ride without hands. Now He is saying to many, “You have learned well! But there comes a time where you use ALL your skills together for a purpose.”

I see a drawing together taking place in the body of Christ for a purpose. I see the Lord repositioning people strategically. I see many being drawn to new people. It might feel like something is wrong, because some will find that people they have been very close to will slowly be drawn in different directions. Nothing is wrong; there is just a restructuring taking place, a repositioning. Others will find themselves being drawn even closer to old companions, fellow warriors. It is time for changes to take place. God is getting us ready for something very specific. We are no longer in training. I see field assignments being given out, not one on one, but to different GROUPS that will GO together. We WILL NOT be able to go it alone. These assignments are being given out to GROUPS! Not isolated solders. There is a time and a season for everything “… a time to laugh a time to cry…” A time to go it alone with only you and Jesus, and I time to be brought alongside of our brothers and sisters of the faith for a corporate God ordained purpose!

God will be placing us strategically in groups, because each of us has learned vital lessens that we will need to combine to fulfill our assignments!

This next Season/ year will be about restructuring, being brought full circle, and reestablishing into our lives that which has been lost, stolen, or laid aside for a season. Some of us are even being called to step out of our comfort zones! Some of what has been OK in the past will not be OK in this season. In order to fulfill our God given calls some of us will have to relinquish our hold on things God is saying is not for us right now. A call is going forth to look our lives and say, "Lord what would you have me do with my time and everything else you have given to me?"

Some of you have looked back and seen a huge price that you have paid for treasures that have been unused ever or unused for quite some time.

“Look at Me” the Lord says, “I have made you beautiful and you will use ALL that you have learned in the coming season of time. I have equipped you fully for a reason. It WILL NOT be wasted. Your years of training and the tears you have wept before my throne will not be lost! I have equipped you for a harvest, Now GO fully able!!!”

It's Coming Down The Track And Around The Bend

by Bobby Conner [with Interpretation by Rick Joyner]

This prophetic experience came January 8, 1997. As the vision started, I saw a very intense white light. The light began to sweep over me, and a voice standing to my right side in the light said, "Look what is coming down the track and around the bend. It is God's Gold and Diamond Train." Suddenly I saw the train tracks. One side of the track was named "Truth" and the other side was "Spirit."

These tracks were coming around the bend of a mountain pass. I could see a very large cloud of what looked like dust and steam. I heard a loud sound as the huge locomotive came into view. I was facing into the light on the front of the engine that was now so intense that it took a lot of effort just to face it.

There was a great disturbance from the sight and sound of this great locomotive as it came closer. Through the dust and ashes I could barely see the name on the front of the engine. Across the top was written the word "Judgment" and on the bottom was written "Mercy." As the train moved, the names would rotate so that at one time Judgment would be on the top and then it would reverse and Mercy would be on the top.

As the train came closer, I saw that the cars were not filled with gold and diamonds as I had expected, but with coal. I was disappointed because I was told that I was going to see "God's Gold & Diamond Train." Then the voice standing near my right side said, "YES! This is God's Gold Train." Then I heard the Lord Himself say, "This is My Goal Train." I then knew He was speaking of equipping and training. He then said, "There will be plenty of true diamonds and real gold after the heat and pressure that are coming." I knew that He was speaking of refining. and the passage in Malachi 3 came into my heart,

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

But who may abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness (Malachi 3:1-3 KJV).

I was then told that the coming volcanic activity near Bend, Oregon, would announce the beginning of one of the greatest healing revivals in history. This healing revival will start around Hamilton, Ontario, and then blaze across Canada to Vancouver. From there it will turn down the Northwest Coast of the U.S. and cross the Pacific to the Far East.

I was then told to spell locomotive "local-motive." The Lord said that this local area in the Northwest was a seedbed of the healing anointing that was upon John G. Lake. The sign of volcanic activity around Bend, Oregon, is that the Lord is turning up the heat, but it will bring about a refining and purifying of His people so He can release healing in the earth in an unprecedented way.

The voice which was speaking then said to me, "Have you ever seen anything like this?" I looked and saw the very top of a mountain which was covered with pure white snow. I was carried to the rim so that I could look over into the large open top of the mountain. It was filled with beautiful, clear boiling water. I knew that this was the Word of God.

The last thing I saw was a light shining on a diamond, which brought out the brilliant colors that were within the diamond.

INTERPRETATION (by Rick Joyner):

This vision began with Bobby seeing the two tracks named Truth and Spirit. These should both be given our attention in preparation for what is coming. It will take both of these to keep what is coming "on track."

He then saw the bend of the mountain pass. Mountains can have different meanings, but here I think they represent obstacles, and the pass represents a way through them. Although there are obstacles to what is coming, God wants us to know there is a way through them, on the twin tracks of Truth (the Word) and Spirit.

The next thing Bobby saw was a great "cloud of dust and steam." Steam is power that is released by heating water. This speaks of fire coming upon the Word of God to release the power to propel this train. That it is mixed with dust speaks of flesh being mixed in the steam when it first appears. (Dust often speaks of flesh, or humanity, because Adam was made from the dust.) There is usually quite a bit of flesh mixed in with moves of God when they first begin. This is because He usually has to begin with the immature who have not yet become "old wineskins," unable to contain the new wine. Movements usually become purer as they make progress, but those who have a religious spirit and refuse to be a part of anything that has "mixture" (which there always is) usually miss what God is doing altogether, and often become opposers of it. This is a warning to not be put off by the dust which is mixed in with the steam at first.

The train then made a "loud sound" as it came into view, and it caused a great disturbance. This movement will not leave things undisturbed or as they presently are. Controversy and commotion are sometimes needed just to wake people up, and we can expect a lot of it in the movement that this represents.

When Bobby first saw the train, he saw a great light coming from the front of it, which had "Judgment" and "Mercy" written on it, alternating from top to bottom. We can expect both mercy and judgment to come, but His light will show the way through both of them. Though Paul exhorted us to "Behold then the kindness and severity of God" (Romans 11:22), many can only see God's kindness, and others can only see His severity. But if we are going to see the Lord the way He really is, we must behold both. We must not be thrown off track when suddenly His mercy is turned to judgment, or vice versa. Even in his most devastating judgments, He shows mercy. Even in His greatest kindness, there is a severity.

That Bobby found it hard to stand in front of this light because it was so bright speaks of light coming that will be hard for us to stand. But it is not only a part of the purpose of God, it is showing the way.

In dreams and visions, trains often speak of "equipping" (i.e., train-ing), and that is what Bobby felt this train stood for when he was having the vision. The cars in this train represent the different churches or groups that will link together to be a part of this great movement coming. The coal in them represents the people.

You can burn coal and get a little heat and power, but burning coal releases many impurities into the air. If we are patient and allow the coal to be put under the proper pressure and heat, it will turn into diamonds that are far more valuable. This represents a choice. Are we going to consume the people with our projects and ambitions because we want heat and power now? Or are we willing to wait and allow the Lord to turn them into precious stones that will be much more valuable?

Bobby felt that the mountain he then saw was the Lord Himself. The fact that snow was at the top of this mountain speaks of mercy and purity being at the very top of His purpose. As He promised, "Come now, and let us reason together," says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool" (Isaiah 1:18). God's entire plan for mankind in this age is based upon His removal of our sin by His mercy through the cross. The goal is that we would walk in a purity that He can inhabit, so that we are a worthy bride for His Son. True redemption always brings purity.

We must also understand that our God is a Consuming Fire (see Hebrews 12:29). If we look into Him we will find the pure living water, but it is hot! We often think of living water as being cool and refreshing, but it also may be very hot. We are washed by the water of His Word (Ephesians 5:26). Baths are usually hot, and it is hot water that He is using to cleanse His church. The pool of hot water Bobby saw within the mountain also indicates the release of a new level of revelation and illumination from the Scriptures.

The last thing Bobby saw was a light shining on a diamond, which brought out brilliant colors that were within the diamond. This speaks of the Lord's ultimate purpose, to take those who now appear as mere lumps of coal and make them into diamonds whose lives will reflect His glorious truth.

Training Centers in Vancouver

"...3) Releasing Training Centres

For many years, we have cried out to the Lord to release Canada's destiny for training, not just for our nation, but also for the nations of the world. We believe the leadership covenant of Kelowna created a spiritual covering in our nation that will release, among other things, apostolic and prophetic training centres for teaching, impartation and 24/7 intercessory prayer and worship.

The training centre we envision for Vancouver will also focus on releasing the arts (music, drama, dance, visual arts) to prophesy to the culture of our nation. For e.g. we see unbelievers listening to prophetically birthed music that will impart freedom to their spirits. We also see a media centre that will use TV, video and the Internet to teach and impart truth to believers, as well as to innovatively communicate the gospel to unbelievers..."

A Word for the Pacific Northwest

by Bob Jones and Paul Keith Davis

Over the last few years, the Holy Spirit has highlighted certain regions of the nation as targets for unique expressions of spiritual impartation and visitation. In many cases, the specific location has been determined, in large part, by "wells of revival" that were experienced in prior generations. It is as though the Lord is redeeming those areas and capturing lost anointings, and utilizing the prayers and sacrificial lives of earlier saints. This is certainly not the only thing He is doing but a significant part.
One such area has been the Pacific Northwest. Over the last three years we have made numerous trips to this region, as have others, by the instruction of the Holy Spirit. Bob Jones actually had a vision several years ago, in which he saw three "Eagles nests" being established in the Northwest. These areas of refuge will be utilized to provide prophetic training, power evangelism and serve as a launching for many saints into their calling and commission.

October Conference

Wanda and I did a conference in Coeur d'Alene, ID this past October, hosted by Mike & Kari Browning. While there, a series of revelations were given concerning the region and the specific strongholds of the enemy attempting to hinder the Lord's outpouring in the Northwest. In one specific experience, the Lord revealed how the adversary has released "cyclone fences" in his attempt to separate and divide the believers of this region.
In the very place in which the Lord is calling for harmony and fraternal affection, the enemy has released division and self-preservation. The Holy Spirit is granting a deposit of divine grace to eradicate the separation and bring genuine unity among a body of leaders within the region. The very fact that the enemy has targeted this area, clearly points to the divine purpose and destiny for the Northwest.
That is not to say that all separations and sifting has been the result of the enemy. There has been a measure of shaking taking place within some churches that has been orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. This has been for the purpose of refining certain fellowships in preparation for visitation. Nonetheless, the lines of division drawn by the enemy are clearly marked with envy, jealousy and strife.
One of the ways in which the seeds of jealousy will be overcome is by rejoicing with individuals and churches who enjoy some expression of visitation. Rather than allowing envy to enter, celebration will overcome the seeds of division and pave the way for divine favor and grace.

Bob's Vision

A few weeks ago, Bob was given a clear vision involving the Pacific Northwest and the Lord's heart for that region. Over the last nine years, I have heard Bob share hundreds of visions. However, rarely have I ever seen him as enthusiastic and emphatic as he was in sharing this revelation.
The vision began with him seeing a spiritual hourglass. He watched as the sand elapsed from the hourglass denoting that "time had run out." It was clearly communicated that the time has now come for divine purposes to be established in "the land of beauty." This expression concerning the land came from the Lord to signify His desire to establish "spiritual beauty" in the Northwest--- clearly a place of natural beauty. The Scripture that accompanied this revelation was Zechariah 11:7.
So I fed the flock for slaughter, in particular the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. (Zech 11:7)
They are the divine staff's of "beauty" and "bands/unity." Bob saw in the vision, a tangible release of glory and beauty that is represented by the beauty of the land itself.
This is pointing to a release of favor and covenant or relationship among the people, through the divine grace that is coming. It is the land of immense splendor and attraction. The Lord is announcing His desire for the Heavens to be open in the land of great beauty. The hourglass has run out of sand. This will be a new beginning.
Nature itself will declare the handiwork of God. It is the emergence of His righteous "staffs" to heal and restore hurt and wounded sheep. The windows of Heaven were opened in the vision and revealed, through nature, the beauty of Heaven in the Pacific Northwest. How beautiful and awesome it was orchestrated.

Spreading to The West

Once deposited, this spiritual provision will go from the Northwest to the west and down to as far as Phoenix AZ. Somehow Phoenix was involved in this revelation. It is an old well that people thought was dried and filled with debris but now will be flushed of hindrances and obstacles in order to flow freely. Somehow in this divine scheme, Phoenix and the surrounding area is important.

March Conference

Presently, we are planning a conference in Coeur d'Alene March 6-8 [of 2004].
One of the additional encouragements from Bob's vision involved the leadership team for the conference. He saw there would be no division in the team. Instead, he saw covenant relationships and fraternal affection among the people participating. This will be necessary to touch heaven in a unified way to release the provision of Heaven to open the window over the Pacific Northwest.
He saw us, and those participating in the conference, as if we were sitting at a banqueting table- which he felt was the Psalm 103. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, {bless} His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; (Ps 103:1-4)
The Heavens became an open window to provide the benefits of God. This is to pave the way for strong evangelism.

Strong Evangelism

Bob saw in his vision, a man we know and recognize as an international evangelist, especially among young people. This aspect of the Lord's plan comes after the prophetic voice opens the window in the land of beauty. What is released in the coming days, will pave the way for strong evangelism.
He saw leadership teams coming together as a threefold cord - a very strong bond that is not easily broken. Bob saw a purging of the soul taking place in the conference through the worship. Once the soul of the people has been cleansed, it then allows for the beauty of the Lord to begin to fill them. It is to prepare a people to begin to enjoy the benefits of Heaven as described in Psalms 103. When we "eat" from the 103rd Psalm we have the strength to go forward.

Conclusion

Since receiving these revelations, we have discovered that Bob was in Coeur d'Alene 13-14 years ago. We have also now obtained a copy of the taped message delivered back then. It is interesting to discover that the essence of the word given at that time is the same as today. It outlined the Lord's desire to bring unity in place of division and pave the way for strong evangelism that will touch the entire region including portions of Canada.
As we have pointed out in our newsletter, we believe this year is the beginning of a new seven-year season of the Spirit. It is a new beginning that will change the spiritual environment in which we live. These times will be characterized by the Justice of God, unveiling both the kindness and severity of God. We must strive with all that is within us to be trustworthy stewards of this heritage and guard, through the Holy Spirit, the great treasures entrusted to us.

The Clock, The Seed, The Harvest and The World

The Vision of the Clock

God took me to a place in His Spirit and from there showed me the likeness of a wooden clock, cut in the shape of the United States and Canada, such as one might see for sale at a truck stop our in a tourist shop along any Interstate Highway.

As I watched, the hour hand moved to the “two o’clock” position, which is Northeast on the map/clock.

I heard the Lord ask, “What is here?” Immediately I thought of Toronto, Canada; The Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and Pastor John Arnott and what has been called “The Toronto Blessing,” but is really “The Father’s Blessing.”

The hour hand then moved downward to the “five o’clock” position, or Southeast. Again the Lord asked, “What is here?” And I answered, “Brownsville; the Brownsville Revival.”

The hour hand then swung forward to the “eight o’clock” position over Southern California on the map/clock. Again I heard, “What is here?” and I thought of Pastor Che Anh and Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena.

Finally, the hour hand climbed upward to the “ten o’clock” position; the Pacific Northwest. Again the voice asked, “What is here?” and I could think of nothing as significant as Toronto, Brownsville or Pasadena.

Now the hour hand returned to the Northeast and I heard a Voice say, “1636, 1701, 1746, 1769.” I realized that these were dates, but didn’t understand the meaning or significance of them. I soon discovered that these were the dates of the founding of four schools: Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Dartmouth.

The Seed Planted Determines the Harvest Gathered

Then God said, “Let me teach you a truth: The seed planted determines the harvest gathered.” I thought I understood that simple truth, but suddenly I saw its effect in a new light when the Lord asked, “For what purpose were these schools established?” I knew this and said, “To train ministers for the gospel!” In fact, the first charter for Harvard University reads,

“To advance Learning and perpetuate it to Posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate Ministry to the Churches."


Fruit Grows After Its Kind

There is an irrefutable law of nature that God created: Whatever seed is planted in a given soil will determine precisely the kind of harvest that is produced. Don’t miss this truth! It does not matter what structure is built on a given soil or at a given location; it doesn’t matter who owns the soil or what storms rage over the soil or what other things happen to that soil – if a seed is planted there, a harvest of “like-kind” will eventually be produced. Fruit grows after its kind. We can change the title deed of a piece of land but we cannot change the kind of harvest the planted seed will produce. This principle is vital to understand in light of current political attempts to remove any mention of God from our social lives, and the continued assault on God by an extremist political left in America. The seed that was planted will produce a harvest of the nature and kind and variety as the original seed. The same principle is true in the land of Israel. Man may call that geographical location “Palestine” or any other name he chooses. Governmental bodies may grant ownership to people groups or to political entities, but the seed planted in the soil of Israel will eventually produce a harvest after its kind.

If Christian truth and Christian virtue are the seeds that were planted, the eventual harvest will be Christian truth and virtue no matter what storms may howl across the soil in the interim between planting and harvest.

And it is God Who dictates the seasons and the times.

Now return with me to the map/clock vision. With the understanding of the law of the seed and harvest, I watched the hour hand move from the Northeast to the Southeast part of America. The Lord then spoke to me about Billy Graham and what is known as the “Sawdust Trail” and the great evangelists of the Southeast.

As the hour hand returned to Southern California the Lord spoke to me about Hollywood and the creative, avante garde’ spirit there. Immediately I understood that Che Anh’s development and introduction of the five-fold ministry in the local church was something new, unheard of, creative, spiritual avante garde’. The seed planted in Southern California had brought a harvest in a church called “Harvest Rock” no less!

Then the hour hand swept upwards to the Pacific Northwest. I heard the voice of the Lord as He reminded me that “the seed planted will determine the harvest gathered.” He then recited names to me: “Charles Price, John G. Lake, Aimee Semple McPherson, Smith Wigglesworth, Kathryn Kuhlman.” All of these Generals of God enjoyed great ministry in the Pacific Northwest. And the common denominator among each of these was divine healing.

I knew that Spokane, Washington was named “Healthiest City in America” by the U.S. government because of the healing ministry of John G. Lake. I knew that Dr. Charles Price had literally emptied an entire hospital wing in Central Washington by going bed to bed praying for the sick.

What God revealed to me in that moment was that the seed of divine healing, planted in the spiritual soil of the Pacific Northwest would eventually bring a harvest of an explosion of divine healing that would begin in the Northwest and then would sweep across America and around the world.

At this point I thought the vision would end, but God showed me one other important truth: He showed me the hour hand that had pointed to the Northeast, the Southeast, the Southwest and the Northwest. I had not paid any attention to the actual hour hand until now. As I followed the Lord in the Spirit, I saw that the hour hand was “pinned” or connected to the clock over the Midwest. As I watched the hand move from the Northwest, it came to the midnight position. I knew instantly that God was referring to the “end times.” We don’t have a great deal of time before the end of all things, and that a healing revival will immediately precede the end. I believe that this healing revival will stir hearts and cause many to turn to Jesus and be saved.

Further, there is a significance to the Midwest of America: This is the “anchor point” of God’s hour hand for America. It is in the Midwest where God will find “fixity” and secure attachment – in other words, when the winds of change begin to blow that would cause many to be uprooted in their faith and to be blown “off course”, it will be the saints in the Midwest who will rightly perceive, correctly interpret and help keep the church “on course.”

These days are quickly approaching. Among other things, God is conducting a process that I call “positioning” among His people. A purification and a humbling have come to many who will lead in these final hours. Great pain has been experienced by many who have been counted as “refuse” and as unqualified by the church world, but it will be this people who will rise up in the final hour to lead a people, filled with God’s Spirit, consumed by the fire of His presence and inundated with His mercy and grace who will lead not only America, but the world to the foot of the cross.

A few weeks ago, Bob was given a clear vision involving the Pacific Northwest and the Lord's heart for that region. Over the last nine years, I have heard Bob share hundreds of visions. However, rarely have I ever seen him as enthusiastic and emphatic as he was in sharing this revelation.

The vision began with him seeing a spiritual hourglass. He watched as the sand elapsed from the hourglass denoting that "time had run out." It was clearly communicated that the time has now come for divine purposes to be established in "the land of beauty." This expression concerning the land came from the Lord to signify His desire to establish “spiritual beauty” in the Northwest--- clearly a place of natural beauty. The Scripture that accompanied this revelation was Zechariah 11:7.

So I fed the flock for slaughter, in particular the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. (Zech 11:7)

They are the divine staff’s of “beauty” and “bands/unity.” Bob saw in the vision, a tangible release of glory and beauty that is represented by the beauty of the land itself.

This is pointing to a release of favor and covenant or relationship among the people, through the divine grace that is coming. It is the land of immense splendor and attraction. The Lord is announcing His desire for the Heavens to be open in the land of great beauty. The hourglass has run out of sand. This will be a new beginning.

Nature itself will declare the handiwork of God. It is the emergence of His righteous “staffs” to heal and restore hurt and wounded sheep. The windows of Heaven were opened in the vision and revealed, through nature, the beauty of Heaven in the Pacific Northwest. How beautiful and awesome it was orchestrated.

Spreading to The West

Once deposited, this spiritual provision will go from the Northwest to the west and down to as far as Phoenix AZ. Somehow Phoenix was involved in this revelation. It is an old well that people thought was dried and filled with debris but now will be flushed of hindrances and obstacles in order to flow freely. Somehow in this divine scheme, Phoenix and the surrounding area is important.

March Conference

Presently, we are planning a conference in Coeur d'Alene March 6-8. (Details of the conference can be obtained at http://gracetraining.org/Templates/Conferences.htm).

One of the additional encouragements from Bob's vision involved the leadership team for the conference. He saw there would be no division in the team. Instead, he saw covenant relationships and fraternal affection among the people participating. This will be necessary to touch heaven in a unified way to release the provision of Heaven to open the window over the Pacific Northwest.

He saw us, and those participating in the conference, as if we were sitting at a banqueting table— which he felt was the Psalm 103. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, {bless} His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; (Ps 103:1-4)

The Heavens became an open window to provide the benefits of God. This is to pave the way for strong evangelism.

Strong Evangelism

Bob saw in his vision, a man we know and recognize as an international evangelist, especially among young people. This aspect of the Lord’s plan comes after the prophetic voice opens the window in the land of beauty. What is released in the coming days, will pave the way for strong evangelism.

He saw leadership teams coming together as a threefold cord— a very strong bond that is not easily broken. Bob saw a purging of the soul taking place in the conference through the worship. Once the soul of the people has been cleansed, it then allows for the beauty of the Lord to begin to fill them. It is to prepare a people to begin to enjoy the benefits of Heaven as described in Psalms 103. When we “eat” from the 103rd Psalm we have the strength to go forward.

Conclusion

Since receiving these revelations, we have discovered that Bob was in Coeur d'Alene 13-14 years ago. We have also now obtained a copy of the taped message delivered back then. It is interesting to discover that the essence of the word given at that time is the same as today. It outlined the Lord's desire to bring unity in place of division and pave the way for strong evangelism that will touch the entire region including portions of Canada.

As we have pointed out in our newsletter, we believe this year is the beginning of a new seven-year season of the Spirit. It is a new beginning that will change the spiritual environment in which we live. These times will be characterized by the Justice of God, unveiling both the kindness and severity of God. We must strive with all that is within us to be trustworthy stewards of this heritage and guard, through the Holy Spirit, the great treasures entrusted to us.
