David’s flimsy tent

We are in the day's of David's maturity. Nathan has promised, prophetically, that Solomon would build the temple. David has stored up some materiel for it, but it's not done yet. That's where we are today.

There are three places of worship:

1) There is the tabernacle, outside the city. The tabernacle is where the worship services happen for all Israel, all of God's people. The established, trained, anointed leadership is there, doing the things that God has commanded them to do. The place is rich and full of tradition; it's full of gold and purple and busy with worshippers and bloody with sacrifices. The only problem is that the Ark of the Covenant, God's presence, is not there.

2) Inside the palace grounds somewhere, hidden away in a back room or a private courtyard somewhere, is a small tent. It's neatly set up, but there are no priests, no crowds of worshippers. But the Ark is there. David and his household -- or at least those who desire to be in God's presence -- worship there, drawn by the passion they see in their king.

It's hard to believe that such an insignificant little tent can hold so much of God!

3) There is the temple. David wrote Psalm 27; it says so in the Bible. He wrote this line in verse 4 "One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple." [emphasis added]

David dwelt in the temple of the Lord, inquiring of God, beholding His beauty. Only one minor problem: there was no temple. David's son, Solomon, would build it years later, after David died.

But David worshipped there by faith, and it was the high point of his spiritual life.

That's a picture of us today.

1) There is a structure that has all the well-trained religious leaders, and all the ceremony and trappings and beautiful buildings. All of God's people come there to worship. It's rich and full and busy.

The only problem is that God's presence is not there.

God still loves those folks; They are obeying His commands, and they're praying to Him, and He's answering their prayers. They're doing mighty works in His name and according to His will. His hand moves among them.

But His presence is not to be found.

2) There is another structure that has none of those blessings. Sometimes they meet in small out-of-the way storefronts; sometimes in space rented from the well-trained religious leaders. Sometimes they meet in homes.

But God's presence is there.

3) There is a place of solitude, a different one for you than for me, where God's promise is alive and rich and real. I can go there. I CAN GO THERE! God waits for me there. It's not "real" there. The marble and the cedar and the silver and gold aren't there. Not yet.

But God is there. I can behold His beauty there. I can inquire of Him there. I can dwell there. And finally, here's the application, or at least my application:

I have decided to spend my life, to squander my life, looking for tents and trying to find the unseen temples. I want to draw as many people with me, from my circle of influence, into those places.

I want to watch as their jaws drop open and their eyes bulge and their knees shake. I want to help them to see the unseen, to learn about that place of intimacy -- one on one, just like lovers -- where they're alone with the creator of the universe staring into each others' lives.

I want to blow their minds with reality!

Blessings! Lots and lots of blessings as you crowd in next to me and a few thousand of our brothers and sisters into that little tent in David's spare bedroom.

Word For Oregon from Australia

I kept seeing a 'smog' over Oregon, and I asked the Lord what this was, and I felt He said that it was 'apathy' and 'articulation'.

I didn't understand what God meant by 'articulation' and I felt Him say that the enemy has articulated his attacks so precisely and in such detail, and in his stupidity (as satan is silly) he is screaming his attacks over Oregon loud and clear, articulating them really well and, that God is calling intercessors to wait on Him for a strategic way to break this smog that is preventing the move of God from coming to Oregon now.

Then I heard as follows:

"Oregon, Out of the pit you come! Oregon out of the pit you arise! Oregon out of the smog you shall come. I declare that this place is to be a place that is after My own heart. A nation that is going to raise its hands in worship to Me. For you ask how a place can all be saved...and I tell you that as My fire spreads across your land, you will see hands raised that you never imagined.

My people now is the time to hear My strategic plans to crush the enemy. For do not 'wait' any longer for the move of My Spirit, I am waiting to pour it forth, but you must come to Me and truly seek Me and seek My heart and My plan for this place, and as you do and walk in this the chains and smog shall disappear.

This smog is causing MANY to not see Me and not see My love and freedom for them, and this smog is habouring a great deception over this place. As My people rise up and pray like never before, praying as I am leading, chains will break and smog will clear, and this place shall be set on fire for Me.

Out of Oregon shall many leaders arise in the coming days that are going to go to other places and nations and teach many how to listen to strategic plans that I am setting forth to defeat the enemy."

Spilling to the Northwest

We feel that the Lord is showing us a strategic connection in this hour between the Northeast and the Northwest regions of the country. I believe there is divine strategy and intercontinental connection being released in this hour that literally corresponds to the anniversary of the Lewis and Clark expedition exactly 200 years ago.

Lewis & Clark Intercontinental Connections

While Lily was praying for me recently, the Lord showed her a large arch, underneath of which was a tall tree whose roots extended and tapped into the lightnings and power of God. At the time, I did not understand the prophetic significance of this.

Earlier this month, we visited Seaside, Ore., the site where the famous explorers Lewis and Clark turned around at the end of their long journey to the Pacific Ocean after crossing the span of continental America. Lewis and Clark pioneered a route across the country that would serve to open the nation up from one end to the other.

Our visit to Seaside corresponded exactly to the time that Lewis and Clark turned around and headed back eastward 200 years ago. It was at this site that they made salt for their journey back. The Lord told us that this was a place of “turning,” and that we should move back to the East Coast. We immediately relocated to Atlanta, closing a six-year season on the West Coast.

On the journey to Atlanta, we stopped at the St. Louis Gateway Arch, and the Lord had me stand underneath it as a prophetic act. This place was a strategic launching place as a “final outpost” when the West was being explored, and it was considered a gateway city. Even now, the Lord is opening a gateway between spiritual deposits on the East and West Coasts of America and Canada, and those who drink from both streams will sink their roots deep into power evangelism. The awakening that is happening on both coasts of the nation is going to mature as there is connection and cohesion in the body of Christ. During this time, Lily began seeing open-eye visions of lightnings, as bright as camera flashes in her eyes. This happened eight times, symbolizing new beginnings and the spiritual shift that is coming to America.

Also underneath the Gateway Arch stands a famous courthouse where the Dred Scott case was tried. Dred Scott was a slave who sued for his freedom. As these cross-continental connections begin to take place in the church, there is going to be a breaking of the spirit of slavery, as well as the orphan spirit, both of which will be replaced by a spirit of sonship and adoption.

Apostolic Connections: Shifts in Leadership Models

To summarize what the Lord has been showing us, there are coming connections between the East and West Coasts, as well as the north and south. These are not “church connections.” The Lord is shifting us from the church age to the Kingdom age. These are apostolic connections, as the Lord is even now releasing an emerging apostolic movement.

As regional apostolic centers and leadership models emerge (there is even now a completion in some of the pioneering that has taken place to this end, just as Lewis and Clark completed their westward trek and turned around), it will be vital to cross-pollinate and stand under this canopy of mutual submission and fellowship that this arch represents. There will be no single region that “owns” this coming revival, nor any single ministry that can take credit for it. But in the place of unity and cohesion, we will see the “commanded blessing” of multiplication (Psalm. 133).

Patterns for Victory in RIDING THE WIND of REVELATION! CATCHING ANOTHER WIND FOR 5766!

It is a blessing to be here with you. It has been one of my favorite places to come over here through the years with Dan Hammer and getting to know you up here, watching the Lord transform us. I feel like this gathering has been ordained by the Lord. Let’s thank the Lord for what he has done thus far.

Now I am going to be showing some power points tonight. Let’s just bring the lights down lower so that we can see better. Yes, that will work better. We are in a great season. We don’t have to ask the Lord to visit us. He is coming down and doing all sort of things with us. It is really interesting what He is doing all over the world, yet it is very interesting what He is doing in this nation. I think last night that you heard Dutch sharing his burden for this nation. I don’t know of anybody that has carried the burden of this nation and counted the cost like Dutch Sheets has, so let’s just thank the Lord for him and bless the Lord. It was a real joy to go to all 50 states. It was quite an undertaking. I look back at when we were here and I think it was December, 2003. Wow! That was such a wonderful meeting here and I think you are going to find it very interesting tonight. You who have gotten the book, Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation, and read the report on Washington will see how significant you are the next three years and why we would be here for a time such as this.

Why would we be doing a warfare conference? You know we used to do these back in the 90’s all the time and we sort of pulled aside. I can remember we decided to do two Future War Conferences in 2001. We did one the weekend before 9/11. We did the next one the weekend after 9/11. That is how significantly timed those gatherings were. One was in Virginia Beach and one was in California. Peter and Doris couldn’t even get a flight and had to drive to California right after that because of the intensity of things. So it was really interesting and why we have chosen to do this this year right now is because we are in a season of war and it’s almost like now the body of Christ is beginning to see we are in war. It is not as prophetic about us being in war now. Really it is how we are going to move forward in war.

Many of you know through the years I have always studied the year. I don’t operate in the Roman calendar; I operate in the Hebraic calendar and have done so for years and years. The Lord began to reveal that to me in the 1970’s, so it is just something that I have walked in and it has become a way of life. The thing about the Hebraic calendar is every year has a distinct meaning about it. And it’s that meaning that causes us to understand what God is doing in that year so we can respond to him right. See, God is sovereign, and God’s not in time like we’re in time, but we’re in time. And so you want to understand times and seasons. That’s what Dutch was teaching on this morning.

We just started our arm of the Wagner Leadership Institute in Denton because we felt like we had to do our DNA, which is prophetic intercession and my anointing has been that Issachar type of anointing. Now, the Issachar tribe, what they would do is, where they were when you read the context of I Chronicles 12, they were in war and they were bringing revelation to the people on the times so they would understand the times and know what to do so they could shift from Saul’s government into David’s government. See, that’s the context of that passage. You’re leaving one government, one earthly spiritual realm of government and you must know how to transition. Well, one of the things that Peter was sharing that I began to see, because every year for about 20 something years, I’ve looked at the year from a Hebraic standpoint to understand prophetically what the year was going to be like. And it’s just been very, very clear for me and then, by knowing the Word, you can take, once you understand the meaning of the year, you can take it and process it based upon what God is saying in the Word over what will be happening during the year. And it gives us very accurate prophetic insight, because God doesn’t do anything without first telling the prophets what He’s going to do.

Now, I want to say a couple of things. I feel like God chose this area for this meeting. Now, I want to say that very carefully and very clearly, because I believe our steps are timed and ordered by the Lord. As I said earlier, He asked me to go to all the port cities this year, all the major port cities this year, which I have successfully accomplished to pray at, because the Lord said He was dealing with port cities and to leave Seattle for last. And so, this is the last port city for me to go to that would surround our nation. And He then instructed us that we were to have a warfare conference here. Now, He does that for a reason because we’re constantly looking at the East Coast concerning attacks and wars because of the populous state (of the density of the population there), but this actually will become a war center for our nation. I want you to just sort of write that down. I want you think about it. I want you to start getting prepared for it, because God has chosen this area for a very peculiar time.

Now, when I first started communicating to the body over this, the body had a hard time grasping, well the body’s had a hard time grasping a lot of things, but they had a real hard time when we were at Oklahoma in a meeting and the Spirit of God fell on us and I literally fell on the floor. I don’t usually do that, laid on my face, prostrate, got up and began to declare that we were going to war. And God is so giving us clear revelation over our nation going to war and where we were headed in days ahead. Then, knowing where we were headed and understanding the Hebraic concept, now I want to go ahead and say this as we go through this tonight, because I feel like tonight’s very important. I don’t feel like I’m supposed to preach. I’m not sure what kind of teaching you call this, but I know it’s important that you get this. And I know He’s drawn us here to get this tonight so we can begin to say, “This is where we’re headed.” And then, tomorrow, we will enter into another dimension before we leave here and, of course, I’ll be with Pastor Dan and here at Sonrise on Sunday morning for both services.

In studying the Hebraic, now Hebrew is an interesting language. It’s very much like native culture, native and Hebrew are so very closely related and it makes you look at some things from a prophetic standpoint. But their letters, their numbers have word meaning, which have letter meanings that you can really begin to interpret the wholeness of what God’s doing and understand it very carefully and very clearly. So, in October Rosh Hoshanna of 2001, I began to study in that year what was ahead. I began to study in October of 2000. Then, as we progressed into the year, I got very, very clear direction over where our nation was headed. I was one of the few people, this is one of the few times I’ve experienced this, I was one of the few people that I could find that were saying we were going into a war season. Most prophets were not saying that. They were not embracing that. The body was not embracing it and yet, I know God very, very well, and I know His voice very well, so I had to say it and Becky and I had the book, Future War of the Church ready for the body of Christ. And I got lots of flack over it. I’ll just be real honest with you. It was a real trying time because it was like I had to just stand and say, “Well, Lord, You know I hear You and I’m just going to have to trust you to deal with this and I want to keep my heart right in it.” You’ve been in situations like that. You don’t want to try and convince people you’re right. You don’t want to do that. That’s pride. You don’t have to do that. You just have to sort of wait it out with the Lord, you know, while people are just looking at you like you’re crazy.

We were in Mississippi and on September the 10th and it was the message God had given me. And I was there and then the prophetic fell in Mississippi. It was the largest church in Mississippi which is pastured by very good friends of ours. And the prophetic fell and I shared and said, “And I see the East Coast and I see fire and explosion on the East Coast.” And I began to give this word about going to war and what we were to do, how we were to prepare ourselves. One guy stood up and rebuked me. This was a meeting of about 1500, double this meeting, and said, “You’re leading the body of Christ astray by telling them we are going to war in this nation. We’re not even supposed to be embracing warfare. You are leading the body astray.” And I sat there, behind the pulpit, and I said, “Lord, now, I want to be very nice and gracious to this fella. And I said, well, and I was thinking in my mind, you know, the last time I was here and the Klu Klux Klan surrounded the church, Lord, I just wish you’d do something with this group down here. I just wish you would deal with them. I mean they are enough to run a sane man stark crazy. I mean, you know, they’ve got so many issues down here. And so I’m sitting there thinking that, but I wanted to be nice, you know. And so I said, “Well brother, all I can tell you is you’ll probably see this sooner than later, so it’s a choice how you receive it.” That was on September the 10th, 2001.

We were back there for the 50-state tour and that man came and apologized tremendously and asked me to forgive him. Now, it was a very interesting time for us and that’s what I want to go through because that started a season. A season in the body of Christ is called kronos. That means it’s a period of time that God is accomplishing something. We don’t have a choice because He’s sovereign, but to allow Him to develop us in it. And so, in that, beginning the year 5762, it’s between these years. The Hebrew is different. September 2001, see, we were shifting over into the year 5762 and the Hebrew that year, for beginning September at Rosh Hoshanna, in 2001, meant the beginning of war for seven years. Peter wants the war to end at the end of seven years, but what it really means is this is a time for you to contend for your covenant blessings and there will be earthly foes contending against you for your covenant blessings. And so, it meant the Lord was throwing us into a place of contending for our future and for our children and for our children’s children and for our territories and everything else.

Now, notice 2002 that was a very interesting year in the midst of war. It was called the Sabbath Day Rest Year. In other words, now, here’s the concept of rest, it’s where you secure your place. That’s what rest means. Rest means you have entered in and you have pressed past into a new place of faith. See, so what the Lord began to do with us in 2002, in the midst of this was say, “Let me try to increase your faith.” That’s when we wrote this book on the Shield of Faith, because I studied that faith that year from one end to the other. The shield of faith doesn’t look like a shield like we think. It’s a door. And so you want to understand the shield of faith, but I was at Barbara Yoder’s and I was speaking at the beginning of our calendar year, and all of a sudden I saw this. The body of Christ, they were on a bull. Now, if you’ve ever studied, watched bull riding, the Lord said, “This is going to be a violent year for us.” The bull ride is 8 seconds, violent year, and what God did with me is showed me what would happen through the eight months leading up to August, just very clear.

Then the third year of this war, turn to you neighbor and say, “You know I’ve made it through the first few years here.” Now, this was where we shifted into a new place of revelation where God said, “I’m going to start showing you secrets and mysteries and surprises. I’m going to start just showing you, revealing myself to you.” We’ve been talking about revelation, but the Lord also said that year, it was a year to run with the horses, that you were going to have to, and so he told me to pray for all the horse states and to go to the horse states, so I did that. I went to many of them, called them forth, went to Kentucky, went to lots of the places with that because the Lord was showing us that year that if you didn’t learn to run with the horses, if the footmen had overtaken you, the horses would surely overtake you. So, He said, you’ve got to get running. You see what I mean. You’ve got to learn how to get on paths that are overtaking you.

Now, what concerns me a little is, I feel like the body is playing catch up. I feel like it’s because we’re not prophetic in America. Now let me just be real honest with you. We’re not prophetic. We care about establishing our life and making sure we’re comfortable. We’ve got our driven purpose which is although awesome, it is more about me and you, individually, instead of understanding the purposes of God and how it’s related to the earth and the land and the atmosphere and what God is doing in our midst and how we interrelate corporately. And so that year wasn’t the easiest year either.

Then we had 2004. Now, this was the past year and this was the year 5765 and it means we are just ending this year in the Hebrew. And 2005, see it crosses over when you start looking at the calendar. It started in September 2004. It’s gone to October 2005 because this was a leap year. It was a year to circle, surround and it was a year to violently praise and God said, “Instead of the enemy plundering you over and over, you were to surround the enemy’s camp this year with praise.” So, it was the year that He was making the body more expressive in who we are and I’m going to show you this in a moment.

And then we have just entered the year 5766 in October 2005. This is a year of staking your claim in the midst of the whirlwind. You might want to write that down. Now, I’ve waited to, this is the first time I’ve put this line up here for anywhere we’ve been. And I’ve waited to do that knowing what the Hebraic here means because you would think, well, I mean, we’re back to Florida again with the whirlwind. We’re back to the Gulf Coast where Wilma can hit the East Coast, but the only state when you look in the 50 state tour, that God called the whirlwind state was Washington. So that makes it a real interesting year for you.

And so the Lord told me very clearly that I needed to make it a priority this year, knowing what the year was about, to be with you at the beginning of it. And to stick with you through the year in prayer, mobilizing prayer, because you’ve become, you see, Dutch probably had never looked at it again since we’ve been here, and he was saying, “All eyes will be on Washington, well it’s the whirlwind state and it’s the year of the whirlwind.” So, all of a sudden, you’ve got to come into an understanding up here like never before. Then you’ve got Oregon which was God’s choice of the state that would overthrow the Jezebel structure. There’s something major going on up here in the Northwest. We might as well thank God we’re entering into a new year, just clap and thank Him.

ס

SAMEKH

CIRCLE
RING
REPEATING CYCLE

To turn,
To Go Around
To Surround,
To encompass or enclose
A Shelter or Tabernacle “Sukkah”

Because what I want to do now is move quickly to move you through this so you will have a clear understanding of why we are having a gathering here, a gathering about warfare and why we’re doing what we’re doing. See.

All right, now, notice this. When we started the year 5765, 5700 means the year of the Lord God. Sixty-five also are two numbers that have meaning. The number 60 means Samekh. Notice what that number looks like. Notice what it means. This is 60 right here and we’ll add the number 5 to it in a moment.

It means circle, ring, repeat, cycle. It means to go around. It means to surround. It’s actually linked with raising the succa, creating a new covering. See, now it makes sense. Notice what that looks like though. It looks like the eye of a hurricane. It means that it, this past year meant that if you didn’t start breaking out of old cycles, you would start repeating those cycles. You’d go around the mountain again, in other words. But you see there, you’ve got the opportunity to break up and break out. Tell somebody, “I’m on my way up. I’m on my way out.”

HEI

ה ( ~ X 3 over the Hebrew symbol)

Wind
Sound, Word
Breath, Spirit
Revelation
MEANING: Sound the WIND makes blowing THROUGH a WINDOW LATTICE

Now, so that showed you what that looks like. Now, let’s look at the other letter that you add to it, the number 5. It’s called Hei. Everybody say, “Hay.” Well, it looks like a window. Actually, this is a letter that’s filled with sound. It has tremendous meaning to it. It means that there’s a window of opportunity shifting over us. (Just move forward with it Brian so they can see it.) It means that there’s a wind beginning to blow through the heavenly realm into the earth realm because God is positioning a window over you. It means revelation, breath, and spirit. This past year we started moving into the next move of Holy Spirit in the earth. I mean Holy Spirit is starting to move and the church is in for a rude awakening when Holy Spirit starts taking it over again. We have gotten so far away from Holy Spirit in the church, we don’t, that’s why when Peter was teaching that today about the third person of the Trinity, he said we have gotten so far away from Holy Spirit, and we don’t even recognize Holy Spirit. We’re so, “let’s gather together so we can discuss us”. Holy Spirit is coming back to the church. Trust me.

- To murmur, whisper, meditate
- Moan, growl, utterance, speech
- Roar, as of a fire, windstorm or rushing water
- A loud noise... loud thunder or shouting
- To crash, roar, resonate
- Loud violent praise! “Hallel!” (Hallelujah)

But notice it has this meaning of “roaring” and that meant last year there would be fires, wind storms, rushing water. It meant actually that there would be wind storms and sounds of water. In December of last year, I saw these huge waves coming in on our nation and coming into the earth realm from the heaven. It (Hei), the word, is linked with hallel, which is linked with hallelujah. It is what God was saying, “Last year start shouting in the midst of your confusion and praising Him and He would come down and visit you in the midst of that confusion.” Now, that’s why at the beginning of the Hebrew year last September, we always have a head of the year gathering. Well, we just gathered to discuss with people in a group about this size, about this many people, what God is doing. Our church has always been in the Messianic movement with the one new man type of understanding as Barbara was talking about. Our sister church that started out of our church is Baruch Hashem in Dallas, so we’re connected like that. We’re the Gentile counterpart and then we’re with the Messianic people and of course the 24-hour prayer in Israel, Pastor Robert’s daughter is the administrator of that. So, we’re very connected in all those areas, but it meant loud violent praise.

But at the beginning of the year when we met, we said this year would be the year of hurricanes, God using hurricanes to really speak His message into America. And I was like, nobody got it. Now, look what you see here. Just keep going Brian. In other words, you have to get a picture of how the Lord is blowing from heaven revelation in. When Dutch and Barbara and they are teaching on revelation, God is pouring revelation. (We don’t do numbers at night. We don’t do time, do we? No, I don’t think so. We can’t tonight. You’re wonderful. You have done a wonderful job to keep those other speakers in line. It’s been awesome.)

Now, this is actually what it looks like over your life. Now, if you will get this, you will move forward. The King, the Lion of Judah, is over the earth right now, blowing down over you. See, most of us can’t, we’ve gotten so far from the Holy Spirit in the midst of our circumstance, we can’t feel Him blowing in and blowing revelation on us, blowing in, causing us to become and move through this season as a violent, praising, storm. Tell somebody next to you, “You are a storm about to happen.” I’m going to tell you, we’ve to get this. It’s the only way we’ll make it through these next three years. Now, we have got to learn how to just praise and get together and praise and express ourselves. So, this is what it looks like now.

Now, this is what I want to say. Now, He’s blowing and you’re going to see in a minute how all of these years start connecting this year because this is our connecting year. It’s very important we get this so we end up riding. This is what the year is about. We’re going to learn how to ride the wind of revelation. We’re going to learn how in the midst of the enemy, standing and roaring in our face, we just quietly roar back and he began to separate himself. So, I want us to stop for a moment and bless God for the year that has brought us into praise and revelation 5765.

Thank Him for revelation. Thank Him for what He’s teaching you. Thank Him for what you’re going through. Decree right now, victory to make it through. Now, while you’re there, I want you to just throw your hands up and say, “Lord, I need a new wind of strength. Lord I’m ready to go into this next year, but I’ve got to have, I’ve got to catch a new wind. Actually, Lord, I need another wind. Blow on me again.” Just shout it up in the heavens. Amen. Now you may be seated.

The Kingdom of God is advancing as a violent praising STORM throughout this season.

“The barometer has dropped & storm is coming. We need to not fear the wind, rain & flood, but be careful to hear voice of the Lord in the Storm”

Last Year the WHIRLWIND Began! We will continue in the whirlwind for 3 more years.

Now, last year this whirlwind began. It began up here whether you knew it or not, because, see, that’s how the prophetic works. The prophetic doesn’t work where we see the immediate thing at first until there are certain things that are aligned. Then all of a sudden, God works suddenly. You are the whirlwind state. All right.

Now, one of us prophesied this at the beginning. I don’t know whether it was me or Pastor Robert at our meeting in Dallas. I said the barometers. I think it was me who said this. The barometer has dropped and a storm is coming. We need not to fear the wind, rain and flood, but be careful to hear the voice of the Lord in the storm. I said that going into the head of the year 5765 at our gathering. Then, now this is how significant it was, on Yom Kippur, the first hurricane hit Florida. You see, we had, we were having the meeting, then that occurred, then the next hurricane hit Florida on, going into the Feast of Tabernacles.

See, I mean, it was like all of a sudden, everything God was saying was happening. And that’s why going into January, and let me go ahead and share this with you. He gave me a verse out of Genesis 8:5 when I started reading through the word. And He said, this year the waters, and this is where Barbara was getting that, the waters would not descending off of us until the end of October, but in the 10th month if you would endure all the way through the 10 months of this calendar year, at the end of October that which had tried to overtake your head, you would all of a sudden your head would come up above the water. Let’s thank God for that. We’re on the way.

Now, here’s the importance of you getting this. The whirlwind is with us for three more years. See, the Samekh (60). We don’t change the Samekh. So, the whirlwind is with us three more years. That tells me by looking at what God said about you, Washington will be in the focus of our nation for the next three years. That’s interesting. All right.

LEARN THE WORD “COME!”

Now, here’s what the Lord spoke to me going into this New Year and He said this to me. He said, “You’re going to have to learn the word “COME” and just as I spoke to Peter when he thought I was a ghost, you’re going to have to learn who I am in a new way because I’m going to be doing some peculiar things that you will not perceive correctly of who I am if you don’t get to know me. And when I say “come”, don’t be afraid of the whirlwind; just learn how to walk on the water.” In other words, let you faith become buoyant and the circumstances around you will not overtake you. He said this, “This is a year of positioning so you must learn the word come. Don’t try to run up and get on the front line because you know, the front line looks like a good place until you realize you’re going to be first one shot. And, you know, all those people, all those Absalom groups who’ve always wanted to run up front and take over, this year if they do, they’re going to be in trouble because they’re not going to have front-line grace this year. So I want to be sure I’ve warned the body of Christ this year, don’t try to get in places you’re not supposed to be in. Let God teach you and discipline you and teach you this year so you can be positioned properly at the end of this three-year cycle.

Now, let me show you some more in this so you see it. Now, we want to do that again (Put the peg in the circle).

5766: The Year of SAMEKH VAV

ס ו (peg in the circle)

1. A year your covenant support will come through COVENANT CONNECTIONS.
2. A year to drive a TENT PEG through the enemy’s plans.
3. A year to extend your BORDERS and establish your COVERING.
4. A year to establish your BUILDING PLAN for the future. BUILD WITH YOUR COVENANT CONNECTIONS!

In 5766 YOU WILL PLUNDER! (Tav-Shin-Samekh-Vav)
[Y’all Will Plunder. It’s not a command – it's what will happen.]


This we have entered into the year 5766. This is the year Samekh Vav. (That means, let’s do it one more time
Brian. Let’s do it a few more times so they see it.) The whirlwind’s still there, but there’s something coming down in the midst of the whirlwind this year.

(Put the stake in the whirlwind – we did this at La Push 8/04. Both for the state and the nation. Note inserted by Burdell)

See, I mean winds have about blown things away over this past year, but look at this coming down. So, this has distinct meanings. This, look at what that is. In the midst of the whirlwind, God is sending you a tent peg or a stake so you can stake your claim right in the midst of your whirlwind, so your whirlwind does not overtake you. God says, “It might be whirling all around you, but I’m going to show you how to establish yourself for your future this year. Let’s bring it down one more time. Now, before we bring it down, just throw your hand up. Say, “Lord, give me my stake.” Now, grab hold of it. Now see, once you’ve got it, you’re not afraid of what’s whirling around you because you’re going forth to stake your place in the midst of the whirlwind. Now, I want us to do this before we end here. We’re going to decree that God is going to stake the state of Washington this year and it’s going to come in His sovereign way this year. And all of those powers and principalities that think they’re ruling it this year, you wait till the Lord puts His stake in here. Amen. Amen.

Now, let’s look at what this means. I’m just going to give you about four things of what it means.

First of all, it’s a year your support is going to come through covenant connections. Watch carefully the people God is aligning you with and putting in your path. And as Barbara said, now I want you to be sure you get this. I want to say it a little different. You should have functional connections and you should have territorial connections. Apostolically you can connect functionally with that which is helping you move forward into what God is doing. Then you can find your place territorially as He positions you in the body of Christ in this territory.

Second thing, this becomes very important for us this year. This is actually, this is a good message. I get to be with Aglow at their International Gathering. This is the year of Jael because Deborah went to war, Barach followed and Issachar went with Barach to war. You know, I’ve done a detailed study on some of the tribes this year to see how they’re going to move forward, but it was just one little obscure lady that brought the strong man into her tent and drove the tent peg through his head. The Lord said, “I am dealing with you individually this year so that you drive the tent peg in the head of your enemy and that you surprise your enemy this year.”

Here’s the third thing. This is very important because God, a lot of you are going through this place where you’re being rearranged. Some of you are being repositioned in your jobs. I said this on Saturday. I said the Spirit of God came down on us in that gathering and He said, “Starting next week, tell my people to look deeply into the rearrangement that I’m making in their life, because I will be starting to set their course for the next three years. Some will be leaving jobs, changing jobs, losing jobs. Their ministry will take different turns. It is me who is setting a new course with my people in the earth.” Just throw your hand up and say, “I’ve got my peg ready to go.” So Isaiah 54 becomes very important over understanding your borders this year and understanding your covering. Somebody was talking about covering earlier. So you’ve got to, Jay Swallow, you were talking about covering. This becomes a year of understanding. Jay hadn’t seen this.

Number four; this is a year that you will establish because, see, the tent peg establishes your building plan for the future. Future means expected end. So, in other words, this year you want to reevaluate how you’re building and who you’re building with. It becomes very, very important for you. And so, this year you start building and in the next three years what He’s doing see, He’s building and establishing us so that the end of this seven-year war season, we’re ready to move forward into whatever sort of economy we have. We’re ready to move forward and the economy is already started changing drastically people. Don’t just be looking at what you see in the news. Don’t live in the temporal. You’ve got to understand there are entire economic structures that have shifted in the earth and even though the fullness of the administration of those structures have not come into place, we need to be, as God’s people, thinking about how we’re going to move into the exploits God has for us for the future.

Now, let me put it in a different term. I got the Hebrew and I checked this out with Hebrew. Last year I had to give this message in front of a Hebrew, the ambassador from Israel and I said, “Lord, either its right or he’ll know.” He jumped up. He said, “That’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever heard. I fully understand where we’re going in our nation. I fully understand how to communicate with Israel.” It was just incredible what God did with it. Now, I tried to get the Hebrew. I got this from Israel with some of the people there who are Hebrew scholars. This is the year of Tav-Shin-Samekh-Vav. That means, and then I put it into Texas lingo to bring to you. It means Ya’all will plunder this year. That’s what it means. When you look at this, this is not a command. This year if you are trusting and walking with the Lord, those things you have been waiting on and watching for, God says, “Ya’all will plunder.”

If you look back around October the 4th, you’ll start seeing a shift that came into you and all of a sudden, God has already started setting the Spirit of the Lord in the earth realm, has started setting a new course for your life. The Lord says, “Grab hold of that course for you all will plunder in that course and you will begin to capture the results and the spoils of the course He’s started shifting you on.” That’s worth shouting over.

Now, let’s look at this. So, here are a few questions for us. Are you ready for the next war? Go ahead and say yes. You might as well be, we’re going into it. Whether you are or not, we’ve got to get this. The next three years become more and more intense. Just because they become intense doesn’t mean that we’re going down, we’re moving in victory. We’re moving forward. God’s shifting our path. He’s connecting us together. You’re not in this thing alone. Don’t you let the devil try to make you think you are isolated? God has certain people connected with you that are watching after you more than you know and walking with you more than you know.
