Over the years Abba has taken to giving me “a” word for the upcoming year. In the beginning they were paragraphs and now they've come to be a single word and over the time Holy Spirit provides dreams and visions to support the word.
For 2013 the word was “TRUST” and I must say that if I knew everything that was going to happen in 2013 and into 2014 (Abba gave me a two year for one word deal) I might have asked for a new word.
But HE knows what we need before we ask so I've learned over the decades to simply TRUST (there’s that word again).
For 2015 He gave me the word FOCUS
As I meditated on the word the first part of the lesson Holy Spirit gave me was a flash back to the first “Karate Kid” movie.
The scene is just before Danielson’s final opponent - Daniel has been beat to heck, he’s hurting, he can barely stand, and HE IS AFRAID.
Mr. Miyagi, in his typical fashion – sternly looks and speaks
“Focus Danielson, Focus…the battle is not there (pointing to mat)…it is in here (taps Daniel on his head)…focus…”
Daniel had the skill, the training, the knowledge but he had lost his focus on his sensei.
Daniel struggles back to the mat, assumes a crane stance to the wonderment of his opponent and then as the opponent proceeds to attack him he leaps into the air and delivers a snap kick to his opponent’s head and wins the match.
Many of us have been through many matches and battles in prior years – just like Danielson – and we are approaching the point of the final battle in this tournament and we’re tired, hurting, and can barely stand. And fear has found its way back into our mindsets after being absent for many years.
Yet we have a battle that can and must be won – we must FOCUS on our sensei – Jesus our Rabbi and teacher – and we need to stand up and firm no matter what is going on around us and FOCUS on everything He has taught us and like Danielson in the final match – we may be called upon to take a stance that is different than what we have used before, that is different than what our opponents are expecting, but what He has been training us for all along.
So for 2015 – FOCUS on Jesus - knowing that the battle has been won and we are to fear not.

A Tsunami of God is Coming From the Northwest to This Nation!
John Mark Pool, Baton
Rouge , LA
“Payday Now!”
A “Tsunami of God’s Glory” is going to roll from the
Northwest and into the US this year and into 2015, as it continues to usher in
the glory of the Lord that will indeed fill the earth.
The Lord told me that another term for the Year 2015 is “PAYDAY!”
It is now payday for God’s faithful messengers, intercessors, fivefold
ministers, churches and family of God! It is no longer “payday someday,” for
the Lord told me it is “Payday now!”
Psalm 79:12, “And return
to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom the reproach with which they have
reproached You, O Lord.”
As I was driving up to the Northwest (Washington state and
Oregon region) the Lord showed me a huge tidal wave of His glory reversing the
curses of the enemy, the doubters of the faith, and the lethargic Believers who
have scoffed at God’s prophetic words being fulfilled.
While driving up to Seattle ,
it seemed a bit odd that on the very day God spoke to me and showed me all this,
I drove past Longview , Washington Marysville , WA
It appears the enemy does not want God’s message to be
planted into the hearts of His people. Remember when the enemy comes in “like”
a flood, God brings in the “real deal”. When the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is
about to roar, the enemy wants to steal the glory! But God will get all the
glory and reign victoriously.
“Be of sober spirit,
be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion,
seeking someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
Regardless of the circumstances, God’s tsunami of His glory
is certainly going to fill this region and our nation in an even greater way
than anyone can ever imagine! We will now again see the glory, the majesty, and
the awesome power of Jehovah – the Most High God!
The Lord showed me all this in a vision as I drove along the
western part of the US ,
and I saw a tumult of clouds rolling in below the mountains. It was as if it
were a “tsunami of glory” rolling in and covering even the highest mountain. I
knew the Lord was showing me that as the sea covers the earth, as the waves
cover the mountains, this time it will indeed be the flood of His glory that
covers the earth.
“For the earth will be
filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the
sea.” Habakkuk 2:14
The Lord said to tell our nation to “Get ready America; the
Lord is about to pour out His tidal wave of glory that will fill your nation
from border to border – that Glory Fire Wall will be the border security
needed!”
And one called out to
another and said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is
full of His glory.” Isaiah 6:3
2015 Is a Year of
Transforming Deliverance!
As we are in the Hebrew calendar of 5775, it is truly a year
of being fully transformed from the old ways of doing things into the ways of
the Lord to now multiply His Kingdom in earth as it is in Heaven!
If you look up the word Salvation in the Hebrew, it
literally means “Deliverance.” When the Lord said He would step in and bring
salvation (deliverance) to the whole earth, He has the authority, the power and
the means to do just what He has promised. Isaiah and many of the patriarchs
and prophets of old were declaring God’s Word – just hoping to be where the
fiery messengers of this dispensation are now living!
Yes, this is the time for the anointed of the Lord to take
their place as they have paved the way, as God’s plans will demonstrate that
the Most High God is our “Deliverer!” Stand and see the splendor of the Lord
and His “tsunami of His glory” engulf the earth. What God is pouring out
throughout the Northwest United States , will
grab the nation’s attention that a “flood of His glory presence” is about to
cover the country, and a holy hunger is being poured out across this land.
Yes, this is certainly the timing of God to do exactly
opposite of what the “doomsayers” have said. Yes, God is indeed who He says He
is, and no amount of giving way to the spirit of fear will accomplish anything,
for the glory waves will roll over both sinners and Believers together! God
will overwhelm this land with the righteousness of His heart and this land will
indeed turn back to the Father as the seas of His glory invade every crevice of
the earth – which HE formed! (Photo via Wikipedia)
“God’s on His way again,
retracing the old salvation route, coming up from the south through Teman, the
Holy One from Mount
Paran
When our land has been overwhelmed with the “spirit of
Jezebel” it is time that the Lord fulfill His Word to “repay” that stronghold
what she is due! We must allow the Lord to fill us with His glory and to
understand that our Father takes care of His own.
Here is the way God takes care of His own, viewed from the
pen of John in Revelation 18:5-7:
“For her sins have
piled up as high as Heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Pay her back
even as she has paid, and give back to her double according to her deeds; in
the cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. To the degree that she
glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and
mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen and I am not a widow,
and will never see mourning.’”
We will be delivered from the religious rules and
regulations that offer “busyness with no results.” We must now become “aligned
with God’s heart” and not the perspiring and toiling plans of man. We will no
longer be able to show a false way of “appropriating the will of God by the
sword of flesh!”
Purifying the Sons of
Levi
“He will sit as a
smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine
them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in
righteousness.” Malachi 3:3
This will be exchanged during this year of Purifying the
Sons of Levi into becoming relentless pursuers of the intense relationship with
Abba Father. We will be filled with the glory of God, and the amount of
purification will predicate the amount of glory poured into each Believer. As
this purification process takes place now in 5775, we will certainly experience
the personal, communal, national and world-wide deliverance of God for His
Kingdom.
As this Great Awakening continues, this purification will
offer vessels to become the greatest testimonies of God’s glory to all those
around. Others will see the “temple
of God
I received a prophetic Word in 2002 from Dr. Bill Hamon,
founder of Christian International, who is a “Father of the Prophetic Movement”
that I would help “Purify the Sons of Levi.” I did not understand that word at
first, but sought prophetic counsel and realized it is not to go about “as the
Lord’s justice system to wrong leaders,” but as “the voice to offer loving
help,” and be a prophetic voice of truth both to searching pastors and their
churches, so they may prosper as Kingdom multipliers for their regions.
Through many ministry years and thousands of miles, God has
placed us with many wonderful churches and ministry leaders who have shown much
love with hearts to receive this fivefold ministry Kingdom
This truly is the season, as the natural world looks the
darkest, that God is absolutely now filling the earth with His glory! We have
never ever gone where we are now entering, and all the prophets of old
prophesied it and longed to see what we are about to see!
Prophetic Revelation for
2015
My Lord keeps telling me two things we will begin to see
more each day of 2015:
1. The glory light will be on God’s people.
2. The hidden supernatural treasures no one has yet seen or
experienced will be revealed!
A Scripture I hear often reveals this promise of God: “Arise, shine; for your light has come, And
the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the
earth and deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you and His
glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the
brightness of your rising.” Isaiah 60:1-3
The second verse my spirit hears God saying is, “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I
will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3).
My fellow family of God, it is now time to decree and to be
what God has planned for us as “deliverance has come to the people of God.” It
is not a time to be complacent, but to press in more than ever to see things as
never before and experience things no person has ever touched! It is indeed
time to “Let the redeemed of the LORD say
so” (Psalm 107:2).
We are now in a time of the “Tsunami of God’s Glory” filling
this nation and turning it indeed back to the heart of the Father! Decree and
expect to see the heart of God’s glory fill our land to demonstrate we are
still one nation under God! We are the Christian Nation that will allow the
tsunami of God’s glory to fill the whole earth!
We are excited to know that God’s love indicates the level
of care to step in and pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, as a “Great Tsunami
of God’s Glory” fills America
and the nations of the earth. We will have NO FEAR in God’s presence with HIS
perfect love. GOD will once again BLESS the USA ! Amen.

The Elijah Season
I was first introduced to the
Pentecostal church environment during the early 1990’s. It was fun, vibrant,
and exciting…you could feel God doing things and it was SO different than the
church environment I grew up in. Finally, I thought I’ll find my destiny that
God gave me when I was 7 years old.
During this decade and beyond it seems that everyone was a
prophet…there are even lines in songs about it. This was ok as God’s abundance
was splashing on everyone and besides Paul tells us that we should all prophecy
– right?
Then one weekend I had three different leaders come up to me
and call me a Prophet – to be honest I wasn’t sure what the heck they were
talking about because Papa had shown me this was only one facet of what He had
set in place for me…but what the heck and it was a great learning season for
me…
But as many have noticed when He pours out there is a
“correction” that almost immediately comes from the main stream
denominations…some of it well deserved – but more of it was due to a power and
control issue…can’t have anyone but the Pastor hearing from God you know…
So there has been a noticeable drop-off, a quiet almost in
the prophetic. It hasn’t stopped for there are still those that God continues
to speak through and they continue to share – but it’s been “different” for
almost 12 – 15 years.
So yesterday afternoon Holy Spirit and I were chatting and I
was reminiscing on some of the past times and He took me in a vision to the
creek and cave Elijah was in following his battle with the priests of Ahab and
his escape from Jezebel…it was a time in the land following a great
demonstration of God’s power that the push-back from the leadership caused many
to flee (sound familiar?)…
But it was also a season of great preparation for the coming
power demonstration of God…
Then God shared with me:
“This Elijah Season that has been upon my prophets is ending
and soon it will be like a volcano of truth of the Word of the Lord – as it
flows forth with power and might and fire it will be like nothing ever seen or
heard on this planet before…for the times of hiding are over and the times of
preparation are over and the times of testing are over now the times of battle
in the truth of my love have begun…and watch as MY LOVE moves MY Prophets as
never before…
Selah.

The Rain of Heaven
[Editor's Note: This word is not specific to the Northwest - other than the fact that the Northwest is expert on the subject of rain - but it has great application to us here in the Northwest.]
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season
we shall reap, if we faint not.“
- Galatians 6:9
I foresee a great move of God, such as we have never
before seen.
There is a due season of great harvest. There is a timing
to all sovereign moves of God. Looking back and observing the history of the
Church, I’ve come to see that God knows how to yield the greatest harvest from
any generation.
Some say that we shouldn’t wait for revival, stressing
that we should rather be revival. And that’s a valid point. Should we be
inactive? No! In fact, laziness and wickedness seem to be synonymous to God.
But the truth is that even with all of our efforts and obedience, only God can
bring the rain. So we should find a healthy balance that avoids the extremes of
both laziness and independence.
In this season, we will see many saved. In this season,
we will see many healed. In this season, we will accomplish many good things
and bear much fruit. But there’s nothing like when God brings the rain. You can
plow and plant all you want – but only God can bring the rain.
There is no formula for this. There are no step-by-step
keys. There is no secret. It’s really just God. But we must plow and plant.
Otherwise, when it rains, what will grow? This is the partnership of man and
God: We do the possible. He does the impossible.
Waiting on God does not mean inactivity. In fact, if you
believe that it’s going to rain, you need to plant the seeds and plow the
ground. Don’t wait around. Otherwise, when God moves, you’ll weep and not reap.
But what seeds are you planting? Are they truly spiritual
seeds? Are you building a church or an organization? A church or a club? Do you
seek righteousness or relevance? Are you praying for the sick? Are you casting
out demons?
Whatever the seeds you are planting, you can be sure that
they will become a harvest. But what sort of harvest are you going to reap?
Will it be good or will it be God? Are you sowing the seeds of programs or
power? Attendance or anointing? Methods or miracles? Tolerance or truth?
Don’t grow weary. Plant what God tells you to plant. The
rain is coming.
3 Outcomes of the Outpouring
Last week, I wrote of a coming revival that I foresee. I
encouraged my readers to continue planting seeds and plowing the ground. The
rain is most certainly coming.
But I want to prepare you for what’s coming. Just like
the return of Christ, all pivotal and divine actions are both a joy and a
terror. The scripture uses the term, “Great and terrible”. Everyone knows that
something big is coming. Major, global changes are just around the corner.
As of now, I don’t know what the condition of the nations
will be during the rain (the outpouring). Though I do suspect that hostility
towards the Church will continue to grow until the final appearing of Christ, I
don’t believe that full-blown persecution will arrive in the United States
before the next great outpouring. But persecution may come as a result of the
incredible shaking that revival will bring to this nation. Again, God has not
spoken to me in that regard. I am only speculating at this point. But what was
made clear to me was this: “You’ve sown the seeds. I’m about to bring the
rain.”
Church, the rain is coming. And these 3 things will come
as a result.
#1 The Workers will be Refreshed
“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance,
as did also your rulers. But what God foretold by the mouth of all the
prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore,
and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may
come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed
for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the
things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.” -
Acts 3:17-21
There seems to be a chronology here. Firstly, Christ’s
suffering is fulfilled. Then, after repentance, times of refreshing come. And
then Christ is sent again. But “Heaven must receive [Him] until the time for
restoring all the things…” Christ’s return is preceded by a time of great
refreshing.
When the rain comes, the workers of the field will be
refreshed. As of right now, ministers and Christian leaders are exhausted. Look
at the sad statistics:
45% of pastors say that they’ve experienced depression or
burnout to the extent that they needed to take a leave of absence from
ministry. 1,500 pastors leave their ministries each month due to burnout,
conflict, or moral failure. 50% of the ministers starting out will not last 5
years. 4,000 new churches begin each year while 7,000 churches close.
Am I saying that there is no refreshment for now? Am I
saying we are powerless until the next great outpouring? Of course not! Yes, we
are to, to some degree, be the revival we desire to see. I addressed this in
last week’s blog. But there is certainly a time of fresh outpouring that brings
about a greater time of refreshing. I see an open field of very dry dirt. The
field goes on for miles and miles in all directions. I see, as Jesus saw, a
plentiful harvest, waiting to be harvested. But to every harvest there is a
season. This harvest, for now, is in the form of seeds. I see people planting
and plowing. There are thousands of workers. They are sweating and tired. Each
movement kicks up a cloud of dirt. But, overhead, I see a cloud beginning to
form. The workers look up with great expectation yet continue to plow and to
plant. Then, the cloud covers the entirety of the visible skyline. Thunder
rumbles throughout the field – it is the sound of worship. Then, it begins to
rain. Immediately, the harvest grows. The harvesters can’t move quickly enough
to keep up with the growth. All of the seeds that were sown are now growing.
The workers, wet with rain, are refreshed. They begin working at a more lively
pace than ever before. The harvest yields greatly.
#2 The Harvest will Yield
But, among the good seeds, are bad seeds. They are seeds
sown in the flesh and even seeds sown from demonic strategy.
“Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The
kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men
slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But
when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.“
- Matthew 13:24-26
But the wisdom of God, not wanting to lose the harvest,
allows for both to grow. I’ll explain this on the next point.
However, when the harvest comes, both the good and bad
seeds will grow.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap.“ - Galatians 6:7
What you’re sowing now will grow. Are you sowing of the
spirit or of the secular? Are you building a church or a self-help club? Are
you after man’s programs or God’s power? What is not of the spirit will not
stand when the times change.
The church you’re building – will it be overcome by the
times? Will it be deceived by the times? Or will it yield God’s harvest in the
times?
Do you want the seeds you’ve been planting to grow or do
you fear them being realized? Listen carefully. The rain is coming. You will
reap a harvest. God is merciful, and there is still time to begin sowing
rightly. But what you sow will become a harvest.
#3 The Weeds will be Exposed
“So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir,
did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said
to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us
then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the
tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the
harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather
together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat
into my barn.’” - Matthew 13:27-30
The tares mentioned here were a type of rye-grass. This
specific kind of rye-grass bore a very close resemblance to wheat. Only when
the ear appeared could they be told apart from the wheat. Only when it came
time to harvest could they be separated.
What looks like God’s church may not be God’s church.
What looks like God’s actions may only be man’s. I’m not making a specific
reference to anyone or anything. I’m simply telling you that much of what looks
like the harvest just may not be the harvest.
Keep your heart right, and you have nothing to fear.
Remain in God’s presence, and, when the harvest comes, you will rejoice.
Think About It,

There is a Convergence Coming – Cal Pierce
God is preparing us to
move beyond where we have ever been. We are moving into a revolution of
revelation. The things of the kingdom
of God
Some time ago I asked
the Holy Spirit why God only gave us the use of 10% of our brain. He had a
simple answer that blew me away. He said, “The 10% is your tithe. When you sow
it into the kingdom, it releases the 90%, which is the mind of Christ, that
will come back to you.”
I knew that there was
something to this but I didn’t have the full revelation of it until I saw an
advertisement for a movie called Lucy. The movie is about a girl who had drugs
put in her body for transportation to the US
I believe this is a
prophetic picture of what is coming to believers as they receive the revelation
of how to live beyond the 10% brain capacity to the fullness that is available
with the mind of Christ.
In Romans 12, verse 2,
it says, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is
good and acceptable and perfect.”
The renewed mind is the
mind of Christ. Your mind is the 10%, His mind is the 90%.
Jesus said we would do
greater works than He did. (John 14:12) We wondered how would this happen? If
we think about it, the 10% that we have is for operation or to live in the
world by sight. The 90% is the mind of Christ that activates revelation for
transformation. The Holy Spirit is our teacher who leads us into all that the
Father has said. The 10% moves us by sight, the 90% moves us by hearing what
the Spirit is saying. The 10%, or natural man, cannot understand spiritual things
because they are spiritually discerned. By moving beyond the 10% we begin to
access the things of the kingdom
of God
Notice that the renewed
mind is to prove what this will of God is. Jesus did what He saw the Father
doing. We will do greater works with the mind of Christ as we prove on earth
the will of God. The kingdom that is within us is activated as we allow the Holy
Spirit to move us beyond our 10% into His 90% capacity. Our 10% mind walks by
sight in the natural realm so that we will see where to apply the 90% that
comes from the kingdom
of God
