Declarations from a Worship Gathering

This weekend (March 27-29, 2008), Revival Town hosted Alisha Roney and Jason Upton in a 3-day worship event in Port Orchard. It was an amazing weekend of worship!

There were some declarations that came out of the event, that will make for good declarations and intercession:

• The church of the Northwest region welcomes children and youth! We welcome the move of God that they bring; we welcome their gifts and their culture.
• We, the Church, are not subject to the religious control of insecure leaders. This is a sensitive issue: we are not independent of the Body of Christ, but neither are we mindless sheep following blindly.
• We are loved powerfully and personally by a wonderful heavenly Father. We can trust His love and His leadership.
• There is a move of God rising up in the Northwest. There is a sound that God is raising up from the Northwest church, and we are that sound.

There are others; if you were there, please email with more.

Northwest Women Arising

The Lord says, I am erasing all the lines of artificiality that have been drawn around you that have tried to keep you in. I say to you, you are the chief architect of those lines. I am erasing them and I am wiping them away so that you’re not going to be concerned about crossing over a line or going someplace you are not suppose to go.

The Lord says, If I’ve given it to you, if I’ve put it within you then whose line are you measuring by? No one besides Me draws the lines. I drew the line and said even through my servant Job, “The waves will come this far and not further.” I am the one who makes the lines and boundaries. If I didn’t put it there, who did and why are you honoring it? I will cause something to rise up on the inside of you and you will refuse to honor the limitations that have been put upon you by others because they’re not legal, they’re not lawful, they are not right before me and I do not honor them! If I do not honor them I’m not calling you to honor them but rather to break through them. So get your eraser out and erase all those artificial lines, those boundaries, those limitations, and those places that say: I have to stay in this place and I can’t move out of this place.

The Lord says, That is not what I say! The Lord says if you balk me or hold back on this it is going to cost you time, misery, and heartache. I am warning you because I know once you are sure and know it’s okay, you will be bold and rise up! I want you to know clearly this day; I have not put those lines in place. I want you to cross them. The enemy has drawn a line in the sand and said, Don’t cross this line. I say, ignore him and walk right over it. Don’t look his way or honor that threat, but move on and press into Me. I will tolerate no resistance in this matter. I want you to rise up and break out!!

The Tuning Fork

This came my way from Sandy Coultas, one of the prophetic voices at RevivalTown Ministries.

Dear Friends,

I just received this email from a young man in NY who is a friend of ours. He is a prophetic intercessor and dynamic man of God. He is directing this word to the houses of prayer specifically, but I thought that it has an even broader application for us in the Puget Sound as we prepare for the 3 day worship event coming up with Alisha and Jason Upton. I feel it also has direct application to the SOUND events we are planning at the colleges this spring. There is such an incredible message coming from the Lord the last couple of years. It has to do with sound and very amazing scientific research and understanding that is being coupled with revelation and prophetic insight to bring tangible regional atmospheric breakthroughs. That's what I'm believing for this spring as Olympia and the greater Puget Sound area lift our hearts to Him in abandoned worship, spirit directed intercession, and strategic prophetic assignments and evangelism. The last few months have been difficult for many, but I believe it is time to shake off the residue of winter and press forward anew for what He is about to do!

He is Faithful!

tuning forks...I kid you not!

ok, ok so sometimes i am not quick to obey, although i should be but God's grace enables me to bring this word to you now

in December of this past year, the Lord gave me a word about tuning forks but i did not blog it like I was supposed to...imagine my surprise when in February I’m watching the "starting the year off right" conference on GODtv and this woman Sandy Newman releases a word about sound, vibration, and yes, you guessed it - tuning forks!!!

so here's the word the Lord gave me in December:

the Lord wants to release the spirit and the anointing of tuning forks...to receive and resonate with the vibrations of sound declaring His truth, His healing, His love, His freedom, His grace

houses of prayer are tuning forks...tuning forks both send and receive the vibrations and sound...can only receive the sounds and vibrations of a specific frequency (depending on its size) that is the same as that frequency

so for example, if you take a tuning fork of a specific note (based on frequency) and you place it near one that is already ringing, if the notes are the same frequency the smaller tuning fork will begin to vibrate as well, in "sympathy" with the larger one

It's all about receptivity and proximity

The Lord releases His sound from heaven and if we are "tuned" to the same frequency and close enough to pick up the vibrations from His sound, we will resonate with that sound and vibrate as well! The Lord is saying that the houses of prayer are those tuning forks!

look at the definition of a tuning fork: (parentheses added to share revelation) A tuning fork is an acoustic resonator in the form of a two-pronged fork (two pronged as in worship and intercession!!!) with the tines formed from a U-shaped bar (open to receive) of elastic metal, usually steel (elastic meaning flexible and able to move when the Lord is moving, vibrating in unison with the vibrations of the sound of heaven; metal, usually steel speaks of firmness and strength, lasting and enduring)

let's look at the word resonate since tuning forks resonate with vibrations of specific pitch:

1 in electronics it means to reinforce (support, strengthen) oscillations because the natural (built that way, one might say "wired" that way or in one's "DNA"!) frequency of the device is the same (unity, from intimacy and communion with the Lord) as the frequency of the source.

2 to amplify vocal sound by the sympathetic (here it means "same" but interesting that the word choice is sympathetic, as in what moves the Lord's heart moves our hearts) vibration of air in certain cavities and bony structures (open spaces; Holy Spirit must be given free reign, the structure must be open to allow Him to move and flow).

other meanings that don’t necessarily have scientific application but very much have spiritual application in this word that houses of prayer are tuning forks: - to evoke a feeling of shared emotion or belief

to correspond closely or harmoniously

to be received or understood

The Lord is saying that houses of prayer correspond closely or harmoniously with His heart and His Spirit...the two pronged structure of worship and intercession enable houses of prayer to receive and resonate with the sound He is releasing from heaven...what happens when the tuning fork "picks up" and begins to resonate with the sound vibrations from heaven? it resonates at a constant pitch, disturbing the surrounding air molecules, causing them to shift and shake (vibrate), carrying the sound signal from one place to another!!!

interestingly enough there are many uses for tuning forks:

help tune musical instruments (make sure they are in the right frequency to receive the sound)

assess hearing (do you have ears to hear the sound of heaven?)

used as an alternative healing therapy...biosonic states that you can use tuning forks and sound to experience deep levels of healing by bringing your body back to its fundamental pulse and by connecting you to your authentic life rhythm. (how about coming back to the fundamental pulse of the heart of worship, a heart that beats with and for the Lord? connecting to authentic life rhythm...how about connecting to the Author of life??)

in electromechanical watches to help keep time accurately (do you know the time in which you are living?)

calibrate radar guns to ensure accurate measurement (can you recognize the signs of the times?)

Lord, release Your anointing on Your body...let Your house truly be a house of prayer for all nations as You say in Your Word...let us be molded and shaped in such a way that we are receptive to You and in tune with what You are saying and doing in this hour...release the anointing of the tuning forks in Jesus name, amen!

The Voice of Change is Stirring Us to Come UP from the Wilderness!

This came to me from Jim & Shaaron Coleman, who work with Fresh Fire in Bellingham, WA.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Barbara Wentroble and Chuck Pierce Portland.

From 1999

Barbara: And I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying surely this is an hour that I shall bring a change to this area, for I the Lord, am even now positioning my bow, saith the Lord. I am even pulling from my quiver arrows says the spirit of the Lord, and I shall cause those arrows to be shot forth from my bow in a fresh new way. For in days past in this area, when I have tried to release the arrows of my Spirit, my people of this area know that there have been contrary winds that have come into this place, into this area, and they have caused even those arrows to be shot in wrong directions… they have caused those arrows to fall to the ground before they have accomplished their purposes.

But I would say this is an hour, says the Spirit of the Lord, I’m going to cause a mighty wind of my Spirit to blow through this area, and the Lord says, No longer will my arrows fall to the ground, but God says, by the power of my Spirit, and through the fresh wind of my Spirit, I shall cause those arrows to be shot straight, says the Lord, and they shall hit the target that I have purposed for them.

The Lord says, I would cause them to fall even into the places of government in this area, says the Spirit of the lord. For the Lord says, I’m going to bring about such change that you will begin to see even the laws of the land begin to change, says the Spirit of the Lord, for I am releasing arrows from my bow, and the Lord says, No contrary wind will be able to withstand the fresh wind of my spirit, as I begin to blow in this places.

Chuck: And I would say unto you, the enemy has removed the sharpness of the arrows of this region, saith the Lord, but I am moving on the 4 state region around this. I say I am raising up in northern California, and I am beginning to do a sharpening work saith the Lord. I say I am calling my people in Idaho to rise up in this hour, and I am sharpening their arrow. I say that which is in Seattle that has resisted my movement, I say I am going to shake until they begin to rise up and come together. And I say even in the next 9 months they will be coming together in that Seattle area. I say that even in the next 4 months I will release the anointing that is necessary to cause Seattle to awaken and to cause the transference of wealth to begin.

I say to you I am shaking and I am sharpening, and I say to you the boldness that has been removed, it is now going to come forth in this region. I say it will roar like a lion. I say it will come out of the woods. I say that which has been hidden and lost is now rising up again saith the Lord. And I say to you, Be bold and be powerful and speak forth, for I say I have a message from this region that is going to shake this nation, and I say, no longer will it be hidden, but I will draw it together; I will put it into place, and I will shoot it forth, and that spirit of control that has tried to control my destiny in this region, I say that over the next 12 months. I’m going to shake it, it’s going to fall, and I say you will be liberated in a new way. You will be known for dancing in this region, and for my dancing hand, and I say my dancing hand will come from this region and begin to shoot forth and penetrate the nation, saith the Lord.

This is the region I have called to shake Mormonism, and I will say I will shoot it forth. There will be such light and liberation from this 4 state region that I say it will cause a shaking in Mormonism and I say there will be many converts saith the Lord.

Barbara: And the Lord says, I did not say the last would be first? And that though this has been an area that has been known to be last in evangelism and in church attendance, and church growth, I say I am about to change things in this area says the Lord, and no longer will you be recorded as last, but I’m going to cause to be first in this that I am doing, says the Spirit of the Lord. I’m changing the statistics, says the Lord, and I now do call you into a fresh new place of promotion. No longer shall you be the last. No longer shall you been known as those who remain behind, but I say I shall cause a mighty army to rise up in this place. And they shall walk forward, and they shall embrace the fresh new things that I am doing, and they shall even model the things that I want to do in other places and in other nations saith the Lord.

So I say I do not call you last. I call you first, says the Spirit of the Lord. Chuck: And I say a liberation is coming from this region to the Asian peoples of this land, saith the Lord. I say they will be drawn here and they will be sent out with my anointing. I say I am going to cause liberation of their giftings, and their giftings and my anointing that I have placed in them will then begin to flow from their mind into my Spirit. I will position those that are converted in this region in strategic places. I say the Esther anointing will fall on the Asian people in this region, and I say it will go forth. It will remain hidden for 4 years, and then it will arise. I say it will come forth and it will cause a transference of wealth in this land saith the Lord.

Barbara: And the Lord would say I am going to destroy the assignment of death that has been over this area says the Spirit of the Lord. For that death has tried to kill my ministers, tried to kill my churches, tried to kill the move of my Spirit. The infirmity that has been with that death, God says, I’m about to break that thing. God’s going to loose such healing in the area says the Spirit of the Lord… Healing and restoration. For the Lord says, no longer will this place be known as Grateful Dead, but I say it is going to be people who are gratefully alive in the things of the Lord.

Chuck: And the Lord says, I would even use this church as gathering for healing. I say healing teams will come in here, they will be re-anointed, and they will be sent out. I say that I am raising up 5 key churches throughout this 4 state area, and they will begin to receive my anointing and they will be known as centers. They will be known as that which sent forth the new. For I say the new has now come this day, and because the new has come, and because you have gathered, the new will now go out from here saith the Lord.

End of prophecy over the Northwest region. Barbara’s comment:

I encourage you intercessors now: You have your assignment. Get a copy of that prophetic word and begin to pray over that and begin to pray the will and the word of God into this area.

Dated October 30, 1999. If I remember correctly, this came at an Intercessors conference at City Bible Church in Portland. This was transcribed from the tapes (remember those?) of this conference. As of the posting date, I have been unable to find this word anywhere else on the Internet. --Editor.
