Chuck Pierce:
"I Will Awaken My Love! You Will Shout, 'Awakening Has Come!'"

Dear Victorious Ones:

Please read the prophecy below! Without prophetic revelation we perish!

The Spirit of the Lord is saying: "Many of you see the change ahead but are not sure that you have the strength to make the change. But I am a God who can cause a joy to rise in you. Begin to praise as you release the last of your strength to Me, and I will come down and empower you in a new, unexpected way.

"You need new strength to establish your new nest. I have eggs for the future that must be hatched and must be sat upon. I have revelation that must be released that will hatch out. I give you the strength now to sit on the nest and wait for My empowerment before you rise to move forward."

"I Am Causing Things That Have Been Stored Deep in Your Spirit to Come Alive"

"I am going to bring a vision to you that will show you things that you have prayed for that have not been completed. You will say, 'Lord, why am I seeing that?' You will be seeing what you are seeing because now you will have the strength to see. Many details and vision have been waiting for you to see.

"I am causing things that have been stored deep in your spirit to come alive. You will say, 'Why am I having that vision?' It is because I am giving you the strength to see things that you once prayed about to come into their fullness. This vision will give you the faith to pray again.

"I am releasing a spiritual wind from Heaven. Today, I speak into the earth. Breathe in this spiritual wind. There is a stirring deep within you. Breathe in this spiritual wind that I might stir deep within. Breathe in My supernatural wind that I might stir deep within and cause vision that you have waited to see manifest before you. Breathe in My wind, for I am sending a wind from Heaven.

"This is a sovereign, supernatural wind. You have endured the heat of the moment and the season. Now the spiritual wind is coming. Breathe in that spiritual wind. Breathe in My wind. Let it carry you. Breathe in My wind. Let it lift you up. You will see and know the course you need. The wind is causing the trees of the forest to bind and open up the way you will go. Breathe in this spiritual wind. It is unlocking that which you have longed to see."

"I'm Sending a Wind Deep Within and It Pleases Me to Awaken My Love"

"Breathe in the wind, that it might unlock that which has not been stirred. Now is the time for stirring My love. Your course has been set. Your course has been unlocked. Breathe in My wind of My love. Breathe in My wind of love.

"You have prevailed for this course, but until now, the time to unlock was not. I have not felt pleased to stir the love. You have been trying to stir My love and muster up your vision. Now I am sending a wind that will realign and restore and awaken the eggs that you have been sitting on. I am sending a wind to create a nest and blow one old nest that you have been sitting on away and give you a new nest to sit on. I'm sending a wind deep within and it pleases Me to awaken My love."

LeAnn Squier Released in Song:

It couldn't be by might or by power.
It had to be by the wind of My Spirit.
It couldn't be by your might.
It couldn't be by your power.
It had to be by the wind of My Spirit.

I had to breathe on your rivers.
It had to be Me that blew on your flame.
It had to be My wind.
My wind awakens the dawn.
My wind contends with the darkness of night
until the day breaks open.
My wind awakens the dawn and puts the darkness to flight.

All of creation awakens to the sound of My breeze.
Trust in, rely upon and lean into My wind.
Let it carry you.
Trust in, rely upon and lean into My wind.

Your loss has caused your love to dwindle through the season of the past.
But hear what I say to You.
You will bear My fruit again.
It will multiply in the season you are now in.
It pleases Me to awaken now.

There is an awakening wind of Heaven that is coming
To overcome in the atmosphere that you have been prevailing against.
Now My awakening wind is coming in.
My awakening wind will now contend.
I am being pleased to send an awaking wind that will contend."

John Dickson Released in Song:

I have drawn you to My chamber.
Now the winter is past.
I am sending My wind to awaken you.
Come away, My beloved.
The winter has past and the spring winds have come.
Come away, My beloved.

I am blowing the smoke from the battlefield.
I am blowing the darkness away.
I am blowing the smoke from the battlefield.
And I am blowing in My light.
Let there be light!
Let there be light!
Let there be light!

That which was swirling around your head
And blocking your vision—I am blowing it away.
Now you will see clearly, for My path is lighting up before you.

"I Put a Call Deep Within You When I Formed You in the Womb"

"You are like Jacob who struggled and felt cheated. Now My wind is coming and that creative idea will multiply. That path will form. I will allow you to see things that you asked Me to see. I will give you signs that things you prayed for are awakening. It will be like spring in the midst of summer. Religious forces contended with you and you lost many battles in your contending. Because you're still here, I'm sending an awakening wind that will contend.

"I put a call deep within you when I formed you in the womb. You said, 'Lord what was my purpose?' You tried this path and that path and another path. Now the awakening wind that will contend is coming to blow on you again. You will say, 'Now I see why I was positioned here. Now I see how I was captured and I endured.' You will see the awakening wind.

"It pleases Me to send this wind that will awaken My love. It pleases Me now to send My wind that will awaken My love within you again. You have contended with My word and you have sought My Spirit, but now I will awaken My love."

"You Will Shout, 'Awakening Has Come!'"

"You have depleted a storehouse in your waiting. But in the depletion of this storehouse you have obeyed Me. In your obeying of giving up and enduring, giving away, and not holding back, I will now reward you and even the world around you will bless you in new ways. It will be hard for you to receive the blessings that this awakening wind is blowing. I am blowing My awakening wind that will contend and cause your love to come alive.

"Many are waiting for this awakening to come. Many are in a slumber from their hurts from the past season. In the slumber from the hurts and wounds from the enemy, you will now rise up with new strength. You will enter into a place that you could not enter into in the last season.

"Now you will rise up and mount up. You will come from behind. You will lay on My love and My bed of love wind will cause you to enter in. You will shout, 'Awakening has come!' I have saved you for this time of awakening. My wind will contend and My love will come alive in you again."

Your Redemption Draws Nigh!

2008-11-10T11:28:00.000-08:00

The Spirit of God says, "Are you hearing the words that I give you tonight? They will try and say that the scroll that they found is of no value. But it's only the beginning of a whole lot. They will find a piece on the one side a hundred yards away, another piece just four hundred yards away. They'll say, 'Dig a little deeper.'" And there's something in the earth that's going to show us the key of David, the key of David, the key of David!

Now listen to the word of the Lord as He prophesies to you, America:

"Do you really think that I'm going to send you down to the place that they want you to be? In the valley of the dry bones you'll never go, because there's always a prophet of the Lord that will prophesy in your valley; so, America, your Redemption draws nigh!"

Our Redemption draws nigh, our Redemption draws nigh. So, lift your hands and say, "Our Redemption draws nigh!"

"Get Ready for an Explosion of Truth!"
The Spirit of the Lord is waking up and resurrecting things that have been buried. He's resurrecting things that have been buried. "Therefore," God says, "get ready for an explosion of truth. Get ready for an explosion of truth. Get ready for an explosion of truth." For the Spirit of God says, "Even as the prophet has spoken tonight under duress," the Spirit of the Lord says, "if you will hear, there are some discoveries that will be made which will bring men to their knees; they will open their mouths and say, 'How do we argue now?'

"Do you think I will take this nation and cause it to plunge? No, there will be no valley of dry bones, for the prophets of the Lord will prophesy to dead bones," says the Lord. "The prophets of the Lord will prophesy to dead bones."
"Therefore," the Spirit of the Lord says, "Hear: Even as you go into your election, I am the one elected," says the Spirit of God. "No man shall replace Me in this nation. And if there is a spirit of anti-Christ, it shall not harm, nor shall it survive on the soil of this nation," says the Spirit of God.

"You say, 'What is the spirit of anti-Christ?' Anti-Christ is not against Christ, it is in place of Christ. Therefore, there is a spirit of 'in place of Christ' that is endeavoring to come upon this nation. It will never happen," says the Spirit of God. "For America will never tolerate the spirit of anti-Christ. Why? Because the prophets of the Lord will prophesy to dead bones. The prophets of the Lord will prophesy to dead bones. The prophets of the Lord will prophesy to dead bones. The prophets of the Lord will prophesy to dead bones."

God says, "Hear the words: A spirit of anti-Christ has endeavored to embark upon a throne. There will not be an 'in place of Christ' in this nation. They have come so far and will go no further," says the Spirit. "Your forefathers, Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson, Thomas - every one of them," God said, "each one said, 'There is One who will be enthroned, there is only One who will be enthroned - He is the Christ.'
"Men have said, 'We will dethrone Him from the schools, we will dethrone Him from the law, we will dethrone Him in every phase and aspect of society.'" But God said, "Enough! No more! For the saints of the Most High God are not only praying, but they have made declaration to blind the eyes of the enemy. Therefore, tonight give a shout of celebration, for now is a time of jubilation," says the Spirit of the Lord!
It has just been spoken to us that they will find more scrolls in the ground, and God said, "They are so close together, and it will bring out major debates and arguments." But the Spirit of the Lord said, "There is a secret that must be revealed in these next four years; secrets that come from the ground, secrets that come from the cave, secrets that come from a palace that shall reveal even in more ways than have before the Almighty's existence and presence on the earth thousands of years ago."

"I Will Bring About a Major Victory"

America, prepare yourself; don't brace yourself, prepare yourself, for you are about to embark upon a journey where light shall shine on the four corners of this nation. Do not trust in your government. Do not trust in the political powers to bring your economy back.

God said, "In one day I will sweep it out! And I will bring about a major victory where men shall say, 'Look what has happened to the dollar and look at how our economy has changed!' Do not say the word recession anymore! The economy of the Kingdom has risen. Therefore, the power of resurrection has come to free you from your debt by the power of the Spirit of the Living God. Therefore rejoice, this is a time of jubilation," says the Lord!

Now, Father, we seal and we take these words and we bring them before You. We believe that tonight as we have gathered together, You said that You are sending light; we commanded light to shine in a dark place. Father, where the enemy has tried to rise up and intimidate the Church, in fact, we are intimidating him!

Just the sound of your shout, just the sound of the confidence in your vocal chords, just the sound of your boldness in your speech and in your praise, has caused intimidation within the very valleys and caves of hell.

God says, "I have gathered you together this weekend that you may command light and bring this nation to a place of humility, expectation, anticipation for one of the greatest shakings that this nation has ever seen, a shaking of the Spirit," says the Lord.

"Stop watching your news, it tells you nothing. Stop watching the polls, it tells you nothing. Why would you look to these things that are prognosticators of this day and age when in fact the Lord your God has already spoken the victory in these next few years that I will give to this nation." Therefore, Church of the Living God, give Him a shout of praise, this is your day!

The relentless flow of bad news, prognosticators telling us what to expect and what not to expect - liars; they have no sense of any spirituality. And God says, "It is in My hands; the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof!"

Prophetic Word from Kim Clement

2008-11-07T12:18:00.001-08:00

11/2/2008
From Whittier, CA
November 2, 2008 - Whittier, CA

David said these words. I built you a mountain so you be at one with me and every single day we could stand together, I want you to live with me. And I built you a mountain, I built you a house so every single day you would stand with me and we would say, You're the only one that I would ever stand with and I know that you're the one that comes to me every time I go down on my knees. So I built you a mountain so that you would stay with me. So I built you house that I pray every single day that you would stand with me.

There's a mountain that you're building in this nation. There's a mountain that you're building in this nation, says the Lord. There's a mountain of faith that's building in this place and the nation will hear triumph for it is near, and the nation will hear the sound of triumph, oh it's so near. And the nation will hear, they will hear the sound of triumph, because as you lift your voice and call me I come to you America. Lift your voice and call me, I come to you, America. Just call me. And if you lift your voice and shout my name I'll come to you America, if you lift your voice and say my name I'll come to you, America. Just lift your voice and say my name. If you lift your voice and call my name I'll come to you, America. If you lift your voice and shout my praise I'll come to you America. Shout my name! Shout my name! Shout his name! Shout his name!

If you open up your heart and call my holy name, I'll come to you, America. If you open up your hands and open up your hearts, I'll come to you America with open hands. And if you open up your hands and call my name, I'll come to you, America. Because together we will stand in one accord just like we stood a hundred years ago.

Because I'm taking you to the place that you came from, taking you back to your original form. God says I'm not going to see you stand behind any other nation, all I want to hear is every one of you lift your voice and shout My name! We shout your name, Yeshua! We shout your name, Yeshua! We shout your name, Yeshua! Yeshua, Jehovah, Jehovah, Yeshua, Messiah, Messiah!

I'm coming here tonight, I'm coming to you tonight that your highways and your byways will be turned upside down but don't worry, says the Lord, I'm standing here and I'm watching, and I'm standing here and I'm watching as the nation stands tonight. Some of them are ready to go and put it all to flight.

I am still holy, I am Lord and I change not. I am holy, I am holy, and I change not.

There is a key, there is a key that I'm giving to you to unlock the mysteries of Christ. There's a key, there's a key that I'm giving to you to unlock the secrets of the Scriptures. The Key of David shall come forth again, and I'm opening a door that no one can shut! I'm opening a door that no one can shut, won't you come in with me. I'm opening a door that no one can shut, won't you come with me.

Every man of God, business man, every father, every mother that's in this building, God tells me to tell you, and everyone that's watching us at this very moment: He's given us a key, He's opening a door that no man can shut! Are you ready to go in?

America, I've opened a door that no one can shut, I've given a key for you to come in. God says this to America: I've opened a door that no one can shut, no one! It's in the Spirit. I've opened a door that no one can shut, no one can touch it! Tomorrow about this time I've opened a door in America!

The Spirit of the Lord says are you hearing the prophet tonight? You say "it's all over." But the Spirit of the Lord says it is not the political powers that will speak on Tuesday. It is I, the Lord, for something far greater is taking place than human beings that will take authority. God says I have given back to America the key to open the doors of the storehouses that have been shut. I am giving you the key to open the door to the storehouses that have been shut by those that have said "there is no need for this anymore." God said I will bless you, I will prosper you, and I will take every part of America and give you my very best because I've opened the door.

The Spirit of God said do not say "this only speaking to the nation" I'm speaking to every of you tonight. And I'm saying to you the doors have been shut, the enemy has stolen and stolen and raped you and I will not allow you to be raped again, says the Spirit of the Living God. Hear me tonight. If you will only sing with the prophet I will take the visible and the invisible and I will marry them tonight, says the Spirit of the Lord. I will take the visible, I will take the invisible and I will marry them tonight so that you can become a persuasion in this nation. I'm going to open the door to your families, open the door to your children, open the door to your business, open the door for your industry, open the door for your ministry.

God says tonight I want you to command, I want you to command. When Elisha was surrounded by an army, he didn't beg God, he didn't repent, he didn't squeal, he commanded. He said Lord, open the eyes of the citizens and the servants and blind the eyes of the enemy. Tonight we command light to come to the eyes of the people. We command blindness to come to the adversaries of this nation. The adversaries in this nation are spiritual wickedness in high place trying to delete the future by removing the children, raping them, aborting them. God said enough! What more do you have left after you have taken a child and to take each other. Do not be consumed with this madness, civil disruption. God said this spirit must be blinded tonight!

My blood prevails in the churches of this nation, yet preachers have become political thinkers, preachers have become voices for one side and not the other. God said enough! I am the one who decides the spiritual temperature of this nation.

Now blind the eyes of the adversaries of America, says the Lord!

Samuel told the people to gather around, come near to me, Samuel my old prophet stood there and said to the people of Israel "come near to me and listen to the words of the Lord." You have asked for a king but I must tell you this is not the command of God, for the Lord wishes to reign over His people Himself. And they replied to Samuel and said no, but we want a king like the other nations. The Spirit of the Lord said I did not anoint Saul, I appointed him. Samuel took a flask of oil and anointed Saul and said, here is your king, to the people. The flask that he had was not commonly used by the prophets, the appointment was not the anointing. For the desire of the people was given to them but he warned them this one will destroy you. And so it was that a man, Saul, head and shoulders above everyone, proud of his strength, proud of his height, disobeyed the commands of the Lord and brought terror upon the people. Then began to execute the priests of God, he executed the priests one by one because they had covered for the anointed, David, God's chosen.

For the Spirit of the Lord says this is important for you to understand: there is the desire of a people and the desire of God. The desire of a people had brought them to a place of blindness and retribution is within their reach.

But God said listen, my plans for this nation are for one of the greatest resurrections to bring back not only that which has not been completed by the church, but also to bring this nation to a place where it will once again pioneer the next great phase and the next great move of the Spirit of God upon the earth.

And it shall come that it shall rush from hear to Australia and Australia shall become a great friend to the church. For God said there is a desire upon the people to make history, but God said do not make history before its time. Do not endeavor to do something that is inevitable because there is a time for everything. There is a time, says the Lord, for everything. Do not rush but stand firm and believe that there will be the abolishment of certain iniquities that have been legislated and brought into this nation. And God said, until three of them have been abolished, you are not in that place, in fact will flee like a fire and cause great destruction.

Therefore tonight, listen to the word of the Lord, there is an anointing that is to come upon the earth but I have set aside this nation to be the one that will propagate it and to launch it. You need the liberty of prayer warriors not only in your churches, but you need prayer warriors in your White House, you need prayer warriors that will pray at the capitol. Is this possible? Absolutely it is, stand firm and say righteousness shall prevail and God said, I will honor you and bring about a massive ruling of righteousness in these next few years that America will say "the church has entered into a new zone, it has come into a new illumination, it has come into a new prosperity." For this nation will not prosper until my church prospers. And my church is about to prosper as it has never done before, says the Lord of Hosts!

The month of November there will one vindication after the other, one unfolding and revealing of truth. And God said, I will bring you to the Thanksgiving of a lifetime. And I have told you this before and it has happened. "How can we be thankful when there is nothing to be thankful for?" God said, indeed within a day I can make you thankful. Therefore, if you would look ahead and see what I have told you, believe, stand firm and stand your ground as great warriors and citizens of Heaven.

The angel that has watched over America since its beginning is also present to watch over this nation tonight, tomorrow night, Tuesday and it will go on to Wednesday and Thursday. For God said, listen, the same angel that stood watch the great soldiers and the great generals and the presidents of yesterday when this nation began, that same angel is present to steer you in the direction that you need to go. Believe it or not, that angel has been over America and watched for the Lord God. And so it is here again.

I've created this nation to stand before me as the salt of the earth. I've created this nation to stand before me as the light of the world.

Dutch Sheets' Response to the Recent Presidential Election

2008-11-07T00:13:00.000-08:00

Greetings!

I feel certain that many in my stream of the Church want a statement from me concerning Tuesday's presidential election. I will be frank in my remarks but I do not, however, intend to vent anger or attack anyone. I have read several statements from friends and colleagues I respect very much. Their thoughts are well stated and, for the most part, insightful. None of them, however, seem to want to say some things that I believe need to be said. I do not claim infallibility or to have the final word, but my convictions run deep and I believe I bear a God-given responsibility to share them.

Was This God's Will?

Was what happened Tuesday God's will? I am quite confident it was not. America was offered a very clear choice between moving further toward protecting the unborn or further away; between a Supreme Court that would move toward honoring God, life and morality or away from it. The stakes couldn't have been higher nor the cost greater. As a nation we put on blinders concerning Barak Obama's background, associations, beliefs and practices, and set these causes back years, possibly decades. And in doing so we took another step away from God and His plans for America, and another step toward judgment.

Judgment Will Increase

This is not a fire and brimstone warning from an angry, legalistic preacher. In fact, I feel more sadness and grief than anything else. Perhaps I feel what Jesus felt as He wept for Jerusalem while announcing its judgment. I am not hoping for judgment; I am saying it is inevitable. I don't know where the unbiblical belief comes from that says a nation can live any way it pleases, can reject God and His ways-even mock Him-and not receive His judgments. Nor do I know when the belief came that it is always mean-spirited or judgmental to warn of these things. To the contrary, I believe it is our responsibility.

In warning of judgment, I am not suggesting that God is going to intentially and directly hurt people. Much judgment is simply the absence of God's protection and provision, caused by a rejection of His laws and ways. We have been experiencing some forms of judgment in America for years, but God in His incredible patience and mercy has kept us from the level we've deserved. I believe this will change to a degree and judgment will now increase:

For those in the Church who aligned themselves with pro-abortion forces, I believe judgment will result.· For leaders in the Body of Christ who refused to take a stand for fear of losing people, money, and tax-exempt status-I believe there will be a degree of judgment.· For those, both within the Church and without, who voted money over morality-a potential raise or better health insurance over the life of a baby-there will be judgment. (The irony is that this decision to base one's vote on the hopes of a better economy won't produce the hoped for result anyway.

The scriptures teach that it is righteousness which exalts a nation and that the nation is blessed whose God is the Lord.) I have heard the argument that God cares as much about social justice issues (such as poverty and racism) as He does abortion, making a vote for Obama OK. I certainly believe God puts a very high priority on caring for the poor and I, too, have wanted to see equality demonstrated through a "minority" president. But to equate having a better income or the desire for a first black president, regardless of his positions on abortion and morality, to the issue of killing 50 million babies is not justice-it is a gross distortion of justice and great deception.

I fear that we have been desensitized to this issue of abortion. I believe it kills babies and takes innocent life. I also believe it is blood sacrifice that empowers demons. Let's not forget this in our noble attempts to be kind and conciliatory.

For African Americans I can easily see how it could bring healing to have a first black president, just as it would be for Native Americans to achieve this or for women if a woman were elected president. Again, I have wanted to see justice in this way. I am only saddened that the price for this healing ended up being Barak Obama, a man that will set the cause of life and, most-likely, our God-given destiny as a nation back so drastically. (I also realize there are some who interpret any criticism of Obama as racism. Racism is so NOT what I am about nor what I live, that I will not even dignify any such accusations with a response.)

What Can We Expect? What are some of the judgments we can expect on our nation from this election? · More economic woes· More violence in an already violent nation· Disease and death (satan, who is responsible for these things will have greater inroads to our nation.)· Natural disasters (weather-tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, drought; fires; earthquakes; etc.)· Terrorism (they will fear us much less now)· War, perhaps on our own soil· Judgments relating to the Court. The stacking of the Supreme Court against the sanctity of life and God's influence on America will occur, which will in turn cause the shedding of more innocent blood, more rejection of God's laws and the stealing from us of our godly heritage-all of which will perpetuate a cycle of even more judgment.

How Did This Happen? I've been asked if this could have been averted had there been more prayer. I'm not sure. I believe there was a remnant of Christians fervently praying over these elections-I don't think there was anything more they could have done. Others, obviously, should have done more. The complacency and lack of discernment concerning our real condition in America-especially by the Church-is both appalling and horrifying.

America is in serious trouble and it seems no one wants to say it. Fewer still are willing to do anything to change it. Though I understand our reasons, we must be careful in our attempts to placate our feelings and calm our fears through religious phrases like "God is still on the throne" or "God has a plan". He was on His throne 35 years and 50 million babies ago. And He had a plan back then. The problem is, it was us. I understand our reasons for waving high the banner of God's sovereignty at times like these-it gives us hope. I will wave it, as well. But please be careful with this. Too much emphasis on God's sovereignty and we're worthless; too little and we're hopeless.

Maybe we should say, "we lost a critical battle but God will give us strategy to win the war." Then find the strategy. But still yet, since God is usually willing to work through a remnant, I thought we had enough prayer. Obviously, God decided otherwise. There comes a time when He will not forgive or bless the majority based on the prayers or actions of only a few.

America rejected God and asked for a king; I believe we now have our Saul (see 1 Samuel 8:5-7)-a man who does not have God's heart for America but his own. Like Israel in scripture, our nation believes it can turn from God and still be blessed. In His mercy and justice He will show us otherwise.

Like many, believing I had many promises and confirmations that God would "grace" us with a pro-life president in this election, I failed to consider strongly enough that all promises-even scripture-are conditional 99.9% of the time.

Though I never prophesied or made guarantees that McCain-Palin would win, failing to factor this principle in strongly enough no doubt caused me to share my optimism with others inappropriately. If this caused any harm or confusion, I apologize.

Has the fact that my prayers weren't answered shaken my faith? No. I'm a little confused and discouraged. I'm also somewhat angry at the nation in general and much of the Church. Mostly I'm grieving over the nation and what this will cost us. I am not, however, angry with God and do not question His justice.

And it is not true that we wasted our time, energy and money in our efforts anymore than it is a waste when we share the gospel with people who don't get saved. We must keep in the forefront of our thinking the fact that ultimately we are doing this for Him and that He will reward us for our faithfulness.

And who knows, perhaps He will store up all those prayers for the next battle (Revelation 5:8, 8:3-5). A friend and fellow warrior said it well, "We did 'give it our all.' I know the Lord was pleased with that. A coach wants to know one thing at the end of a heartbreaking sports loss: 'Did you leave it all on the field?' (your passion, your commitment, your strength, your courage, etc.) I know that we 'left it all on the field.' We didn't hold anything back until the game ended. Tragically, it ended in defeat.

We will rise for another day because Jesus is worthy." Where Do We Go from Here? Does this election outcome shake my faith that we can see a great awakening and ultimately reformation in America? Absolutely not (and it strengthens my resolve). We will simply get there through greater pain and loss. Even my passion to see the Supreme Court shift is not from a presupposition that there can be no spiritual awakening without it. It is simply due to my deep conviction that their decisions bring so much death, destruction, curses and judgment to America; and because our full destiny as a nation is unquestionably linked to their decisions.

So, yes, we will get an awakening and reformation; but the reality is that this reformation of the nation will reform the Supreme Court (and government, in general), not vice-versa. My faith has never been in people or a political party; my faith is in the God who works through them.

I've been asked if my feelings about Sarah Palin have changed. They have not. I believe she is an Esther, a Deborah, with a huge mantle from God for reformation. God has a great destiny for her related to this nation if she chooses to continue down this path.

So, in conclusion, we must re-group as an apostolic, praying church and advance. We must maintain an immovable faith in God, His plans for America and His mercy. And we must move beyond simply asking God for a spiritual awakening and ask Him for strategy to produce reformation, as well. I, for one, am just getting started! For God and this great nation.

Got this video from my friend Kelly who makes the banners. Go, Kelly! Love all her banners! You should go check them out at breakthroughbanners.com

I also got a nice response re: the Kim Clement clip from Stella T. Thanks, Stella.

This prophecy is somewhat encouraging after the election.
I was praying about it yesterday and God spoke to me about a few things:

1) God is already at work and moving in the present situation, preparing the way for the new president.
2) This past election had a record turnout of Black Conservative voters who voted for Obama.
3) 70% of those Black Voters in CA, AZ, & FL voted to Ban Gay Marriages. Which in turn the Ban is passed in those states.
4) God is going to use the Black Conservatives in a BIG WAY and have them use their influences now.

Don’t be discouraged or dismayed. Keep praying for America. Truly God has a plan that NO MAN can stop for this great nation, the USA.

From my friend Kim who is a prophetess under Bill Hamon: "If Kim Clement prophesies it, you can take it to the bank. His gifting is exact words of knowledge from the Lord. God tells him everything it is amazing. Over here we call him a sign and a wonder."

Kim Clement's Prophecy re: Obama

2008-11-05T16:31:00.000-08:00

I got this emailed to me a few weeks ago.. I didn't want to believe it. This was a word from God thru Kim Clement on April 9 of this year. I checked it and it was on the Elijah List.
Something to keep in mind. God places righteous and unrighteous rulers both where he decided.

OBAMA MAY BE THE MAN TO GET GODS AGENDA DONE NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.

Kim clement has said that God will make Obama the next president so that he will
bring peace to the Middle East.

Here is the transcribed and APPROVED Obama prophecy that Kim gave in Harrisburg, PA.
A.T.

THE MIDDLE EAST

God says, "There is a sway in the political arena; a change in your political world. Enough of this discussion about Jeremiah Wright." God said, "This makes no difference. It is a spirit that has endeavored to rock and sway the people and to divide them." God said, "I will sway it next week. Yes, I will, and because of Pennsylvania, I will raise up the man I want," says the Lord, "to rule and to reign and to declare victory in the Middle East."
We declare victory in the Middle East tonight. We declare victory
in America tonight.

For the Spirit of God says, "Hear, oh people of Zion. Those who have been afraid in Zion, those who have been afraid in this nation--fear not! For your news media has intimidated you, and therefore, it is My turn. Next week, I will arise. I will change everything."

"I'M TALKING ABOUT OBAMA"

For they have unfairly spoken against an African man, and I'm not talking about Jeremiah Wright; I'm talking about Obama. For God said, "Even though you may think this or that, there is an element of righteousness inside of him to reach out for Jesus. Therefore, I will sway it next week," says the Spirit of God, "and I will cause My man, My power--to exalt in the White House what is necessary to declare victory. For this time, I shall rise up and I shall make known who I am in a way that I have never done it in this nation," says the Lord.

"Do NOT SAY IT IS THIS ONE OR IT IS THAT ONE"

For the Spirit of God says, "Do not say, 'Is it this one or is it that one?' Hear me out. I am raising up My mantle, My voice. This nation shall be awakened to a spiritual activity that has been dead for 42 years. Listen to Me," says the Lord. "I will take over in a way and in a fashion that will bring a force of spiritual unity in this nation for the first time. You can believe it or not. I will take white and I will take African, and I will bring a unity in the Church between the two of them," says the Spirit of God.

This night in America and in this next week, God has informed us to "watch" as He unfolds and reveals things so you will know that your nation has not been set aside for division and discord; but a time in the Church where African-American, where white or Caucasian, where Hispanic and every race in this nation under the spiritual guidance of the Spirit within a midst of war and division--will bring them to a place of unity.
"IT SHALL NOT BE BLACK, IT SHALL NOT BE WHITE, IT SHALL NOT BE HISPANIC"

And God said, "Where one race stood on the steps and covered the fields with million-men marches and Jesus proclamations, there shall be one of the greatest gatherings at the Capitol that you have ever seen," says the Spirit of God. "This time it shall not be black, it shall not be white, it shall not be Hispanic, it shall not be from this or that belief, but there shall be a unified sound. Two years from now, where they will hear the sounds of faith and unity and within this next reign, there will be laws that will be changed in favor of the most High God. Not because of Democrat, not because of Republican, but because of spiritual unity and intervention. I will bring you out of what they call 'a recession' into your highest economy that you've ever had in your next four years," says the Spirit of God. "Do not think it impossible, for it shall be so."
"The gatekeepers (I am speaking of) of this nation are the spiritual leaders--the Apostles and the Prophets, the Teachers, the Evangelists, the Pastors"

"For the gatekeepers of this nation are not the Mayors nor the Senators. The gatekeepers of this nation are not the Congressmen or the Congresswomen. Yes, they are gatekeepers but the gatekeepers (I am speaking of) of this nation are the spiritual leaders--the Apostles and the Prophets, the Teachers, the Evangelists, the Pastors that I've raised up. And there shall be a sound of unity that will call from Heaven the manifestation of God as it has never been in this nation. Get ready for your sons and your daughters who will prophesy just like Joel said in the last days. In the last days your sons and your daughters, they shall be prophets and prophetesses and your old men shall dream dreams. Your young men shall have visions. This is that time," says the Lord of hosts.

"LET NOT YOUR OPINION CLOUD YOUR SPIRITUAL MIND"

"Let not your opinion cloud your spiritual mind. You say, 'What are you saying?'" The Spirit of God says, "Call them not denominations, rather abominations, for I am not speaking of these that have built walls. I'm speaking of the true warriors that shall sway the political field; that will sway the justice. It shall be more than a million gathered; more than a million gathered!" And God said, "They shall say, 'Washington, what is this? This is a sound that we have never heard before.'"

"I WILL TAKE THE OIL CRISIS AND BRING IT TO AN END"

And God said, "I will take the entire Northeast and I will shake it and the double portion that I promised upon the Elisha generation shall be released. Do not say we are in recession, for I will take the oil crisis and bring it to an end, and the rapidity of it shall take place because of the unity of the saints and the unity of the gatekeepers. Get ready, for what you have seen on the television regarding Jeremiah Wright and everybody else is not for evil, but for good. I will turn it around and bring unity in My house," says the Lord of Hosts.

"YOUR PRESENT PRESIDENT WILL NOT LEAVE HIS OFFICE OR HIS TERM IN SHAME"

"Your present President will not leave his office or his term in shame. There will be a very precise vindication of numerous things that were scorned, that were mocked by men, that thought they knew but understood nothing. And when the baton is handed over," God said, "there shall be no fear in the nation." Now take that and be secure.

I speak not as a politician tonight. I speak to you as a prophetic voice. Not tolerated, but celebrated by the people. Stand firm, you and your house will serve the Lord. And as the prophet Joel said in the last days, your sons and your daughters... sons and daughters are being raised up to prophesy and to have visions. Old men to dream the dreams. That mantle has been cast upon the Church. Therefore, I would say your time of acceleration has reached its peak. You're taking off!

The Day of the New Wineskin

2008-11-05T14:03:00.000-08:00

Dear Gap Standers:

In the “Year of a New Wineskin,” we have just seen our nation shift to the next wineskin related to Civil Government. Remember, we are a people that are a “nation above all nations.” We are called to pray for all of those in authority, not just for those that we might have preferred to win an election. We are a “peculiar people”, not a political caucus. We are a people who can steer the course of history with our prayers and acts of faith. Jesus had to deal with the mindset of some of His key leadership that were more interested in making Him a king of a nation, than recognizing Him as the King of the Kingdom of God.

May Holy Spirit go before President-elect Barak Obama as he enters this new season. May Holy Spirit be a rearguard behind him in every decision made for righteousness’ sake. May Holy Spirit continue to be enfolded into the history of this covenant land. May Holy Spirit triumph as this nation goes through great changes in the days ahead. May God’s TRIUMPHANT RESERVE come forth with new strength and power.

We must realize that a nation changed greatly several seasons back and this is the time of the manifestation of that change. This is the time that the Structure (wineskin) that demonstrates those changes is developed so it will remain intact. We must watch carefully how this nation develops its call to the Lord and our relationship with Israel as we enter the future. Our covenant alignments reveal our future. How will we, as God’s true prophetic people, bring forth the revelation (wine) to pour in that Structure? Will the Church become relevant now or hang on to ideals that really are not the key issues for this season?

We must be reminded that many laws are on the books that have no relevance today. However, they are law. Passing law in the future will be one issue, but the real issue will be the change of heart and unified expression of His People that will release an anointing in this nation and throughout the earth. The Anointing will break the yokes that will attempt to control us, unrighteously, in coming days.

A Prophetic Word from Pastor Steve Foss

2008-11-04T08:54:00.000-08:00

Prophetic word from Pastor Steve Foss

October 30, 2008, 03:36:49 PM

I am writing to you today an urgent message concerning the coming American election. God has released me to share with you a powerful prophecy He gave me eight years ago. I have shared this prophecy in a number of public meetings, but I have never published it for all our friends and partners.

In January of 2000 God gave me an incredible insight into what was about to happen in the coming elections in America over the next decade. I am not using this e-mail to tell you, who are citizens of America , who to vote for. However, you need to
hear what the Holy Spirit is saying. Never in my 22 years of ministry have I seen such a spirit of delusion released upon our country.

In January of 2000, while the Republican nomination for president was far from being decided, God spoke to me that George W. Bush would be the president of the United States . He told me it would be the hardest fought election in American history. I'm sure we can all remember the incredible battle that took place in Florida . He told me that President Bush would be elected to two terms. He told me that during Bush's term there would be a season of unprecedented economic prosperity.

Now despite what the media has said, the economic wealth created during the last eight years was unprecedented. I know the media and one of the political parties has been trying to paint the last eight years as the worst economic time in American history, but it is absolutely untrue. If you look at the wealth created, there were more millionaires created in the last eight years than any time in history.
Multitudes of people were able to sell real estate before the housing market collapse, and received incredible transfers of wealth. I could spend hours showing documentation of the wealth created, but suffice it to say, the evidence is there.

God then said to me, At the end of President Bush's second term there would be an economic collapse. As everyone in the world knows, we have just faced the greatest economic threat since 1929 and the Great Depression. I will speak a little more about the present economic situation a little later in this message.

Every detail that God gave me has come to pass exactly as He said.Now there is one more important thing that God spoke to me. This is the purpose and the reason I am writing this e-mail today. God spoke to me that after George W. Bush, America would elect its most ungodly president ever. I'm going to say that again. God spoke to me that after George W. Bush, America would elect its most ungodly president
ever. As of the writing of this e-mail we are now less than two weeks away from voting for our next president. At this time the polls are strongly showing that the Democratic nominee for president will easily win the White House.

Now in 2006 I began to ask the Lord, Is that guaranteed to happen in 2008? He spoke to me very clearly and gave me the key words to what I believe holds this election in the balance right now. He gave me these key words that can forever change what is about to happen in America . He said, It depends on the Christians. I am not going to endorse a candidate, nor am I telling anyone who to vote for. I am simply sharing what God has shown me.

I had a vision earlier this year. I saw Barack Obama in this vision. He was speaking to a large crowd and being broadcast on television. He was speaking incredible words of unity, peace, and bringing all sides together; the words were elegant, the words were comforting, and the words were inspiring. But while he was speaking I saw all a powerful spirit of violence coming out of his spirit feeding into the spirits of those that were hearing him. That spirit of violence was directed at anybody who opposed what he was saying. Those who heard his words and received it had the spirit of violence being implanted inside of them. It was a rage like I have not seen before.

It was the rage that would be unleashed against those who oppose and stand in the way of Barack Obama's agenda. We are already seeing the beginnings of this spirit manifested here in America . The vicious attacks against Sarah Palin have been unlike anything we have ever seen before. The sheer hate for this woman from people who knew nothing about her, and who claim to stand up and protect the little people, and women, has been shocking. We now see it with Joe the plumber. These people who are under the influence of this demon spirit of rage desire to completely destroy this man because he dared to question Barack Obama. In fact it wasn't just the question; it was because Barack Obama revealed his true agenda that Joe the plumber became a threat. So the supporters of Barack Obama who had been fed and affected by the spirit of violence went into full swing to destroy a fellow citizen; the very kind of person that Barack Obama has been speaking about in his eloquent speeches, saying how he is the only candidate fighting for them.

I want to put this deep in your spirit. I am speaking as a prophet. The words I'm about to tell you are thus saith the Lord. If Barack Obama is elected, the attacks
against free speech, against those who believe differently than he does, and the systematic use of the government and laws to silence the voice of fundamental Christians will be unlike anything ever seen in this nation before.

I have talked to many Christians, including pastors, not only here in the United States but around the world, who strongly support Barack Obama. Many of them are angry with the Republicans, and understandably so. Others are inspired by the thought of electing America 's first African American president, while others believe Barack Obama to be a Christian who is very concerned with the poor and needy. I am not going to address any of the many concerns about Barack Obama and his form of Christianity.

I am only speaking the words of thus saith the Lord, and you have to decide what you're going to do with it. But I want to remind you, every word God has
spoken to me over the last eight years and every word which I have prophesied about the American government and the elections has come to pass. God does not give this prophecy to scare us, but to prepareus. God said that the 2008 election is in the hands of the Christians. Just like when God spoke to Jonah about the judgment coming to Nineveh , when the Ninevites repented God withheld judgment; the same can happen in this election. Even though God spoke that America would elect its most ungodly president, He has given us the ability to stay this judgment.

Now you may be asking, Are you saying that Barack Obama, if elected, would be America 's most ungodly president ever. Yes! Now I'm not telling you who to vote for. Some people want an ungodly president. That's their choice. I have watched throughout the world, Christians support political leaders who are blatantly ungodly. So again, this is the peoples choice. I believe if the Christians will pray, repent, and hear the voice of God, a miracle can happen on Election Day. This nation lies in the hands of the Christians. Will we humble ourselves before God and pray for His kingdom to come and His will to be done? Or will we allow our emotions, our feelings, our angers, our greed, our race, the opinions of the media, our fears, to dictate to us and affect who we vote for?

If you allow these things to affect you, whether you vote for Republican or Democrat, you are not being led by the Spirit. We must spend time in deep intercessory prayer and cry out for God's mercy upon America . For all our friends who are not in the United States , if Christianity comes under the assaults that it would under a government controlled by Barack Obama and the Liberal Democrats, it will have horrible negative effects on the Gospel throughout the world. All truth is parallel.

People say when America catches a cold, the world suffers a flu. This present
financial crisis is proof of that. When America is moral and bows its knee to God, it has incredible positive spiritual impact around the world. However, we have seen over the last several decades, when America becomes more immoral that too affects the world.

We need all the Christians around the world to pray for revival to come to America , and for God to have mercy and spare us from this judgment. Finally, a brief word about the financial crisis. This is not the end time financial crisis. It is very serious, and it is shaking the foundations of the world's economic system. But we will come out of this, and there will be a time again of incredible wealth
creation. However, the cracks in the financial system will not be healed. The door has been opened and the way is being made for a one world government system to overtake the world's economics. The world will falsely look at this situation and say that when the governments individually, and with some unified coordination, jumped in to rescue the world, that it prevented a worldwide depression. In the future,
when the true end time financial collapse takes place, it will be very easy for the nations of the world and the peoples of those nations to allow a new worldwide governing body to come to the rescue. Understand that everything that is happening has a significant spiritual purpose. So don't panic by what you see happening today, but take this as a spiritual warning from God.

Prepare yourself. Get out of debt. Hear the voice of the Holy Spirit in regards to how you handle money. Let God position you to handle the future complete economic collapse and the overtaking of the worlds economic system.

Please pray for America.

May God have mercy on us all.

Your friend,

Steve Foss

Urgent Call to Prayer

2008-11-01T23:49:00.000-07:00

Urgent Call to Prayer
Lou Engle

Before the elections of 2004, 50 young men and women gathered for 50 days and 50 nights to continuously fast and pray for the ending of abortion and for God’s hand of mercy in establishing governmental leaders. It was prior to this intense time of intercession that a young lady from Las Vegas sent me a dream.

In the dream, there was a basketball court with an evil obstruction resting on it, and all around the court were young people weeping and crying out for the removal of this evil obstruction. In the dream I stepped onto the court wearing a referee’s shirt. (Note that a referee acts as a judge over the court.) As I walked onto the court, a 17-year-old girl fervently began declaring, “Lou Engle, it’s your turn now! Lou Engle, it’s your turn now!” Then, in the climax of this powerful dream, I took the hands of the young people, and together we swept the obstruction off the court.

The dream was very significant to me, as I have played basketball for many years. The dream used the analogy of a basketball court to speak to me concerning my place in raising up a movement of prayer to end abortion in the courts. I felt that the dream implied that a young generation was crying out for the Supreme Court to overrule Roe v. Wade.

Three days before the elections of 2004, we called our group of young people who were standing in prayer in front of the Supreme Court to a three-day Esther fast (no food and no water.) We took this from the biblical account of Esther where Haman had issued a decree for the destruction and annihilation of the Jewish peoples in the empire of Persia. Esther called a three-day fast of no food and no water in order to appeal to the Supreme Court of Heaven to overrule the edicts of the Supreme Court of Haman. I told those kids that we have to have a pro-life president who will appoint judges who will rule for the life of the unborn. We, in essence, were bringing our case before the highest court in the land—God’s court.

At the beginning of this three-day fast, I received a phone call from someone who worked in the Supreme Court asking if I wanted a special tour, an offer to which I readily agreed. Upon meeting her, this employee told me that years before, someone had given her a prophetic word declaring, “that one day she would move to DC and get a job in the Supreme Court building.” It was clear that she was living according to her prophetic destiny.

Out of curiosity, I asked her if there was basketball court in the Supreme Court building. Surprisingly, she answered that there was indeed a basketball court and that it rested precisely on top of where the Supreme Court holds its hearings. I stood there in amazement and promptly asked her to take me to court! Still in amazement at the existence of an actual basketball court, I stood and prayed that God would give us judges who will rule for the life of the unborn. Since that day, two judges have been removed and two new judges have taken their place. Our present court has ruled to uphold the ban on the gruesome procedure of partial birth abortion, and yet we cannot stop here!

This coming election will define the future of millions of unborn children and millions of women who will experience the agonizing pain and regret of post-abortion trauma. One of the current presidential candidates has declared that the first thing that he will do when elected is pass the Freedom of Choice Act. This terrifying act would effectively remove every abortion restriction that has been passed since Roe v. Wade.

Today, I believe we are in an Esther moment in America. In the day of Esther’s three-day fast, God shifted the entire public policy of Persia in a moment. God intervened at the cry of Esther’s voice, Haman was removed, and Mordecai took his place. One woman’s posture of prayer and fasting initiated movement in the heavens, and the result was that an evil death decree was reversed.

I believe that today fasting and prayer can release a divine breakthrough of undeserved mercy. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. We don’t know what’s going to happen in these critical days, but we have scriptural precedent for appeal. Therefore, from November 2 to November 4, we are calling all of those whose hearts are moved to fast for these three days to do so as the Lord would lead them.

We know of many who will be going without food and water, and yet we have no guarantees. Mordecai said to Esther, “Who knows?” I believe that it is this same “Who knows?” which today is pregnant with divine possibilities. Consider that maybe it was for such a time as this that we have come into the kingdom.

For America,

Lou Engle

18 month Old Raised from the Dead

2008-07-03T21:42:00.000-07:00

WOW! Awesome testimony!

We are here!!

2008-07-02T07:01:00.000-07:00

Wow... the last few days have been fantastic! Sorry to take so long before sharing! oy and I are doing fantastic here in Lakeland, Florida! Last night the worship was incredible. At one point, after an awesome, holy silence, it seemed that the worship angels just joined with us... it was the most amazing thing I've experienced. It started at one end of the tent, and it moved as a wave to our side of the tent, as everything joined in with the angel voices... just amazing. It also misted in the tent. The atmosphere was electric and there was LOUD thunder right over the tent. Every time it thundered, the people just exploded in worship... my goodness... just incredible.. the first night at the meeting was very emotional as a pastor was sharing his experience of praying for a paraplegic boy that had drowned in the pool where he was staying (Howard Johnson). He first tried to give him mouth to mouth, but it wasn't working.. he was clearly dead.. for at least 15 - 20 minutes. Then it dawned on him that he needed to speak LIFE to come back into the boy. And the boy coughed and came back!!! Oh my goodness... how absolutely emotional.. He was crying while he gave his testimony, obviously so touched by what God did through him.

This is just one highlight.. there are many more. We went through an awesome inner healing / Deliverance Session. Can you imagine 700 people getting set free all at once in the same setting? Just awesome! This was on Saturday at the Ignited Church. We are going back this Saturday again. Yes, we are gluttons for "punishment." lol.

I posted some pictures at my BeenUp2 site (see the sidebar for links and also at my MySpace page.

25 raised from the dead so far

2008-06-21T11:42:00.000-07:00

Not sure if any of you have watched the Geraldo episode with Todd Bentley on it. I thought it was a bit disappointing, but anyhow, at least the word is getting out. I haven't been keeping track but last I heard there were 25 people raised from the dead. Anyway, I am so excited!I am going to Lakeland next week! Joy and I are going to be part of the harvester training. Can't wait!

Wow! 12 people raised from the dead so far!

2008-05-20T22:41:00.000-07:00

Hooweeee... Monday was wonderful! First, TWELVE people have been raised from the dead through someone that has been to the Florida Outpouring!!! Here is Monday's report.

Pastor Stephen Strader reads the story of number 11 raised from the dead:

Darla writes:
A young lady from our Choir Ministry came to your revival several weeks ago. On May 8th at choir practice our Worship Leader had the young lady tell of your Revival in Lakeland, FL.

Then our Worship Leader had the young lady pray for anyone in our choir that wanted prayer because she believes in the transfer of the Anointing. When the young lady prayed for me, in her prayer she mentioned Healing, Revival in my family, and Restoration. We did not know what was coming our way but our Lord did.

On Saturday morning May 17th at 2:00 am in the morning I received a phone call that my husband’s Aunt Val had had a heart attack. Val had called her sister Shelia (my mother-in-law) told her to come over, then Val called the paramedics herself, then her son Tim.

When Shelia got to Val's home the paramedics were waiting and Shelia told them to bust in the door. When they found Val she was laying face down, gray, and no pulse. The paramedics did CPR for eight minutes until they got a faint pulse. She was taken to the nearest hospital.

The doctor's accessed her and then had the family to come in. We were told that they were not sure if she had a heart attack or not but she was on a ventilator, they put her in an induced coma.

The doctor was more worried about brain damage because she had been without oxygen for so long and she had shown signs of some damage. The doctor was transporting her to another hospital to do a new procedure called Hypothermia - it drops your body temp to 75 degrees and it helps preserve the brain. She was transported at 5:00 am.

At 6:30 am her son received a call that a test was performed and there was no brain activity. Shortly thereafter, her heart stopped two more times - two more times being shocked, they gave her medicine to start her heart once and once they did CPR.

They doctors performed another test - still no brain activity. The doctors told the family that she only had 20% chance of living - but her mind would not be the same. If her heart stopped one more time she would not survive.

By this time they were telling us she had had several heart attacks. Val's son finally made the decision around 12:30 pm on Saturday to have her life support removed. This decision only came after much prayer - and God did give him total peace. The family was told to go say their good bye. Most of the family are Christians. As each one of us went in we had prayer with her.

Three of my sister-in-laws and my self anointed her with oil and had prayer. While we were praying, she would start to shiver from the top of her head - then it would go through her body to her feet. She did this several times.

One of us asked what was that - we knew the Lord was working on her - The nurse said it is only where she is warming up. While in the waiting room the family read Hebrew 11 - the faith chapter - we broke out in worship and song.

At about 3:15 was time we thought it was all going to be done - Val's son was told there was a problem with organ donor. Val had requested it but her son said no. He was afraid that no autopsy could be performed. So the organ donor corporation was called in… they are called CORE. They were over an hour away.

At this time some of the family thought that this was a bad diversion - they couldn't believe that when the decision was made and there was peace that it had all stopped.

When CORE finally came, they told her son that they would only use the liver and the kidney and it would not interfere with the autopsy. Once again, any family member that wanted to go back could. One last time, prayer came from the very last visitors.

We were told that CORE would contact the doctors in Pittsburg and see if they could use any organs, because once you are over 50 they usually don't. We all left around 6:00 waiting on the final call.

A family friend/pastor stayed - he asked the nurse - could you check and see if there is any blood pressure or pulse so I can tell the family - the nurse checked and there was nothing. All the machines had been taken off but the breathing tube. So the pastor/friend left.

When the nurse was with her she checked one more time- nothing - then she pulled out the tube - Val's hand went to her mouth - the nurse jumped and said that had to be a reflex - then Val opened her eyes.

The nurse was almost in shock - she called for another nurse - they started a blood pressure on her - Val took a breath - her heartbeat came back - she had a blood pressure - had Val asked for her son.

At 6:30 pm The family was called and said get back SHE IS ALIVE and talking a breathing on her own. WOW!!!! PTL!!!!!

Jesus stepped in when man stepped away - when doctor's cohttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifuld do no more - Jesus did the rest.

We all went to see her Saturday right after the call. She knew everyone. Sunday, she was more alert and carrying on conversations with us.

Today, Monday morning she is sitting up in bed feeding herself Jell-O!!!!!!!

Listen to a story of one of the MSSM students's experience of Heaven after Pastor Shannon imparted the Florida anointing to him.

MSSM Earl Thurner says the REVIVAL is already happening Dario, Nicaragua. A healing revival is breaking out through the students from the Dario Supernatural School of Ministry. Two churches have been birthed from this outpouring within the first two weeks the Dario School began. It's still gong on day and night, miracles, Presence, visitation. Not only in the church, but many communities, towns and villages. Watch a slideshow of Nicragua now.

Just go to Todd's site, at 7 pm ET, click on the right side where it says "Watch LIVE from Lakeland Florida" and then there are two screens.. the one on the left is the video and there is a chat screen to the right. There is a way where you can just open up the video in a separate screen. I have my macbook hooked up to my HD TV and am watching it on the widescreen.. So cool! It's an international Revival.. God is pouring out in a fresh new wave..

Here is a testimony of a man that God healed from a lung disease:

Revival is starting to break out in Maui, especially the youth! Gold dust is manifesting! Yea, God! I love it! Glory!!!

Pour Out the New Wine

2008-03-27T15:41:00.000-07:00

This painting was started on Monday at the MSSM class. I've been wanting to paint it for a while, but didn't really know what it would look like. I based the painting on Isiah 65:8, which says that the new wine is found in the cluster.

I've been watching the Revival Alliance (Releasing the Supernatural) Conference on my computer, in the comfort of my own home since last night. Oh my goodness! Georgian Banov was OFF the chart! This was the first time I have ever seen him. He and his wife are SO in love with Jesus! They were so whacked by God.. hahaha!!! so full of the new wine.. It was exhiliarating to watch them, and how powerfully they ministered in the anointing of the Holy Ghost! My prayer is to have everything that He wants to give to me, at ALL COST. To seek the face of God at all costs!

Last Saturday I painted the painting you see above. I have been wanting to paint the Lion of Judah for some time now, as I had seen a flag with it at Bethel Church in Redding. This is a new way for me. As I first start to paint doubt tries to come into my mind and says how stupid it looks, (or whatever, fill in the blank). When I am unsure of how to paint a certain thing, or what "technique" I am to use.. mind you, this is all new to me.. I just ask Him to guide my hand... And you know what, He never fails me! He always pleasantly surprises me with the outcome.

New Painting

2008-03-19T13:06:00.000-07:00

Last monday I started this painting. It's of a heavenly place, definitely not finished yet. While I was soaking last night I actually saw a picture of this place and was in it, walking around with Jesus!

Window opened in the Heavens

The above picture was taken during the time in December when Maui was getting hit with storms and floods. Merri Lee took this from her bedroom window after the sky opened up as a window from heaven. Janna had a word from God that there is an open window over Maui right now and the time to ministr to the lost is now.

The Apple of His Eye

2008-03-12T12:26:00.000-07:00

Last Monday night was the first time I actually put up my easel and painted during worship. Anyway, the painting I did at the School started with some basic colors, blue and green. Blue represents revelation, prophetic, Holy Spirit, Grace... Green represents new life, new growth. hope & restoration. It's still a WIP (Work In Progress). I have added some tropical elements to it. Akiane described the eyes of Jesus. She said the entire universe was in His eyes. I wanted to paint something similar. If you look close at the painting, it has the island of Maui in the iris of the eye.

I've come back from the conference with a new excitement and anticipation of where God will take me next. God has been increasing my pictures. I was already getting some downloads... I really wanted to see His face badly. I had started a painting before I left for the conference with wanting to paint his face. Eeek! It wasn't at all what I had envisioned. LOL I won't post it here.. It looks like some kind of Byzantine painting. Anyhow, while I was getting a prophetic painting done of me, the girl that painted it, prayed for me and while she put her hand on my forehand.. all of a sudden I saw the face of Jesus SO CLEARLY! It was as if He was standing right in FRONT OF ME! After that, while I was soaking, instead of just getting a picture here and there... I started getting slide shows! Wow!! And... also an open vision that I was in myself. So cool! In this particular vision (it looked like a movie, but I was in it), I found myself walking, then running through a narrow walkway. On each side there were tall bushes... I kept running and all of a sudden I felt myself actually lifing off, above the bushes, into the air, and I kept going up and up, just soaring.. It was exhilirating! I saw the ground get smaller as I was soaring up with Him up in the heavens.

I am excited about the New Renaissance that God is unveiling to us! At the conference I learned that EVERYONE is an artist. I had always thought that only certain people had that gift. But God has created us in His image. Since we are made in His likeness, we can all create and express what is inside of us, how much more if we allow the Holy Spirit to create THROUGH us. All children are artists until the age of 5 when teachers or parents squelch the gift in them by eiter telling them they're supposed to only color in the lines, or, "you're not doing it right," and so on. Kris Vallotton even went as far to say that when a painting is done under the anointing of the Holy Spirit the painting itself becomes a doorway to heaven (a vortex). That is HUGE! Let us all allow God to create through us, whether it's trough art, music, every gift He has given to us.

Declaring Victory & Salvation to the Nations

2008-03-06T08:42:00.000-08:00

On the last day of the conference, February 29th, Beni led us into a prayer for all the nations. Below it shows a victory dance that some of the people in Bethel did. It was just awesome! Yay, God! We declare salvation to all the nations!

The climax of the evening of course, was the fire tunnel. Below are some pictures of people going through it. Cayelin and I both went through it three times!!!

At one point, they shut off the overhead lights.. and this is what it looked like. More, God!!! More of YOU!!!!

More, Lord!

2008-03-04T18:32:00.001-08:00

This is one of the paintings I've been working on for my online lessons. I envisioned this to be the Lion of Judah. Everyone tells me that this is a regal looking lion, and yet, he looks, somehow humble. I have been told that he looks like a friendly lion and some have even said that he looks like he's smiling! OK, that's the kind of lion I like. And God is like that too! He is in a good mood! He says that it is His good pleasure to give us the Kingdom! I like that!

Yesterday I heard from Earl Thurner. The MSSM started a Supernatural School of Ministry in Nicaragua. He is experiencing a GREAT breakthrough! Encounters after encounters in Nicaragua. Yay God!

This message was left at the MSSM myspace:

Feb 20 ~ There was a Red Moon in the sky tonight. This is a prophetic picture of the next wave of the Red Moon Rising/Joel 2 Army movement in the earth. There has been a release of a greater realm of authority in prayer and will be encountered by all who draw near to the Throne in intercession with Jesus. This intimacy will release a Spirit of Prayer and Destiny on many in your cities as the movement continues to grow and advance with the Kingdom of Heaven that only knows advancement (Isa 9). We call forth every voice to begin to stand in the place of prayer and shift history and transform cities with His presence and government. The cool thing is, is that every voice counts. You dont have to know how to pray, just show up and God will direct you. This is a time for high praise and worship in the adoration of our King and this will release the prayer strategies of Jesus. BLess you all and get ready, its about to get real fun.

All kinds of fun stuff. MSSM is also birthing a Supernatural School of Ministry in Tahiti! Whoa!! Yay God!

Refreshed in California

2008-03-03T12:07:00.001-08:00

This is the painting I made while attending the Art through Intercession workshop. We were told to wait on God and as He showed us what to paint to just put it down. At first I just got the colors purple, blue and green. Purple stands for royalty, blue is for revelation and green means new life or growth. I then painted my husband (left bottom corner) and as I saw him playing his guitar, gold and treasure manifested. That is the yellow in the center, representing the treasure as he plays his guitar and worships, intercedes and prophesies on his instrument. As I kept waiting on the Lord, I saw green growth appearing (right bottom corner) and I planted green flowers, kind of like irises. Then as he kept playing, this glow began to envelop him, and the glow got hotter and turned into flames! It was thrilling!

One WONDERFUL thing that happened is that I got healed! For several years my wrists have been hurting. They felt like they were bruised and it hurt when I bent them back and forth. After John Paul Jackson's message on Friday night, he said that God was healing joints. I immediately stood up. He then said that God was healing arthritis. He asked for people to raise their hands if they had arthritis, and for whoever stood around us to pray for us. I was totally free from pain within 5 minutes! The video above is of the fire tunnel we had after the meeting! One other student that came from Maui (Cayelin) and went through it three times. I could see how she just glowed after she came out of the fire tunnel! What an amazing God we have!

Prophetic & Arts Conference

2008-03-01T00:50:00.001-08:00

I am on day 3 of the Prophetic & Arts Conference at Bethel Church, Redding, CA and all I can say it has been fantastic! Super fantastic! We are learning so much, it's just incredible! Lots of strategy as far as arts and intercession is concerned, how God wants to use our art as an expression and tool to win the world. God has given us all talents. Whether it's singing, dancing, painting, learn how to use our art to the fullest.

We started out with a workshop on Unveiling the New Renaissance. God is so wanting to use us in this Renaissance! We are ALL artists! We have all been created in His image and have been given the ability to create JUST like Him. As we yield ourselves to Him, we can allow Him to use the vehicle He has given us (he has given us many, but we choose which gifts we want) for His glory!

Last night we got to see Akiane and she is just a wonderful 13 year old girl, full of grace, full of humility, joy, full of God! She was answering questions from Kris Vallotton and Theresa Dedmon and it was just amazing to hear the answers she provided and just as amazing that she has been given such a gift and grace by the Creator!

Today we watched a Victory Dance declaring salvation and restoration to all the nations, US, Europe, etc. It was such an emotional thing to behold. Too many things to share... I went through the fire tunnel three times!!!

God Invades Hawaii

2008-02-23T16:24:00.001-08:00

Wow! I am still waiting for testimonies to come in but apparently the Oahu Conference with Bill Johnson and Ian Anderson was off the charts! I didn't go because I am fixing to leave to Redding on Tuesday, for the Prophetic & Arts Conference at Bethel Church. Anyway, according to people that did go, the meeting in Oahu started off with a bang. First of all, Bill Johnson and the team officially received permission to minister in the Hawaiian islands by someone that was a direct descendant of the person that prophesied over King Kamehameha.

It was very emotional as there was an exchange of requests for forgiveness and forgiveness for what the US did to the Hawaiian nation. The conch shell was blown three times for the Trinity, and the Gentle Breeze of the Holy Spirit fell right after and stayed throughout the conference.

Lots of people got healed, set free, etc. The Holy Spirit fell and hundreds of people were touched! I will update this post as soon as I know more. To see photos, please go to the MSSM photo site by clicking here.

Last Wednesday Ian Andersen and his wife ministered at the Healing Room in Lahaina. The New Wine was flowing freely!!! God is on the move!

The Father's Love Letter

2008-02-13T23:15:00.000-08:00

What kind of love leaves the 99 to go after the one that's lost? The Father's Love.

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails, [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. ~ I Cor. 13:4-8

Soaking Prayer & How to Start your own Soaking Prayer Center

2008-02-13T10:44:00.000-08:00

Soaking Prayer

It has come to my attention that some of you may not know what it means to "soak" before the Lord. Hopefully I will be able to explain it. It's not very complicated. It is basically just waiting on the Lord while listening to soft, anointed praise & worship music.

What is Soaking?

Soaking, as I mentined before, is basically just waiting on the Lord. While we soak, we don't talk. We quiet our souls and listen to the Lord. Please download our soaking booklet here. Note: It's in landscape format, so set your printer to landscape.

Soak: to become thoroughly wet, or saturated by immersion, to drink excessively, to become drunk, to take in, to soak up.

Lie down: to place onself, or be in a prostrate position in order to rest. To accept without protest or opposition.

Quiet: to be untroubled, free from activities or distractions. Still, calm.

Rest: to relax from exertion, or labor, to repose or sleep, a pause or interval.

Listen: to concentrate on hearing something, to take heed or pay attention.

Wait: to stay in one place, or remain inactive in expectation of something.

Some scriptures on soaking: Psalm 23:3; Psalm 4:4; Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 4:9-11; Psalm 46:10; Isaiah 40:29-31; Psalm 27:14; Isaiah 55:1-3; Luke 10:39.

Watch a video on how to start your own Soaking Prayer Center from CTF Ministries.

It's Beginning to Rain!!!

2008-02-12T14:13:00.001-08:00

Holy Spirit Outpouring on Kids camp

God showed up his past weekend at a youth camp of 59 youth! Some of the kids leading the worship are part of our MSSM and the worship was awesome, lasting at times 3 hours! One of the students (one of the speakers at the camp) said that as he was just standing back and watching in awe at what was taking place, he said that there were certain kids that moved around praying for people as the Holy Spirit led. He said it looked like a pinball machine, they were just zigzagging and as they felt the Holy Spirit leading, they would just make a B-line to the people the Lord would lay on their heart and pray for them. Others were getting totally wrecked by God, the spirit of laughter came on them, and getting drunk in the Spirit! As the kids were praying for one another, they would receive words of knowledge and ministered to one another. I am reminded of Isaiah 11:6, that says in part, "a little child shall lead them." It is amazing to see how God is using these young ones to lead the older generation! Yay, God!!!

Wonderful Night at MSSM!

We had a wonderful time in worship and got totally blessed by the teaching DVD by Eric Johnson. There were countless testimonies of what God is doing using the MSSM students! The youth were asked to pray for everyone and the Holy Spirit came down mightily on all of us. I am in awe at what God is doing! It's beginning to rain in Maui!!!

Swap Meet Miracles

God continues to use our "Prophetic READING" booth at the swap meet. God is drawing just the right people, the ones he's prepared, to go to the booth. People are getting so touched by God as the team prays and prophesies over them. One man said he was a buddhist priest and he got prayed over. Afterwards, he said, he had never felt such love anywhere! Two 6th grade girls wandered into the booth asking what "this was all about." They ended up giving their hearts to the Lord. Robin (one of the MSSM students) told them to go to church and mentioned the Sunday Service at Hope Chapel. The following day the girls woke their mom up to take them to church. Long story short, the mom got so touched by God at church and ended up giving her heart to the Lord, too! All I can say is, Yay God!!!

Think it not strange

2008-02-11T14:40:00.001-08:00

We are living in exciting times! I say exciting, because we are literally seeing prophecy unfold in regards to the warnings Jesus and the Epistle writers gave in His word. It's time for the separation of the sheep and the goats. (Matthew 25:32). At the same time we shouldn't think it's strange that we are going through certain fiery trials. The trial is for our faith to be purified as gold in a furnace. When the Son of Man comes back, will he find faith in the earth?

I Peter 4:12-19 says,
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

In Matthew 10:16-32 Jesus sent out his disciples and as he sent them out, so is he sending us out. We need to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. It's interesting that he says to "beware of men" and that brother shall deliver up brother to death.. Wow! That's heavy!

Matthew 10: 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

The only way I could ever imagine that fellow brothers and sisters in Christ could be so deceived is because of pride that has somehow crept in. Proverbs mentions that pride comes before a fall. In Rick Joyner's book The Final Quest he mentions that as people make it up to the mountain that we need to beware of the spirit of pride. It hides behind the bushes. It is not easily recognized if you're prideful, it has a way of blinding you.

"Pride is the hardest enemy to see, and it always sneaks up behind you," Wisdom lamented. "In some ways, those who have been the greatest heights are in the greatest danger of falling. You must always remember that in this life you can fall at any time from any level. Take heed when ye think ye stand, lest ye fall. (I Cor. 10:12)" (Rick Joyner in the Final Quest)

Staying humble and walk in forgiveness

As we find ourselves in a situation where we are being persecuted for what we believe in, it's important that we forgive people when we pray for them. As we do, our Heavenly Father also forgives them. God loves us SO much! It is awesome to know that we can loose people from unforgiveness and judgment, and AS WE DO, God will do the same. I think that's just awesome! In Matthew 5:11 Jesus calls us blessed. He says, "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. James takes it one step further. he said to count it all joy when we fall into divers temptations.

James 1:2-5 reads, "2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

I Peter 5:5 says, "... Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

So be encouraged! Stay sweet. As Bill Johnson says, we need to look at everything, especially our past, through the Blood of Jesus. Mercy triumphs over judgment. His love covers a multitiude of sins.

Recommended book: Welcoming a Visitation of the Holy Spirit by Wesley & Stacey Campbell. This book is just awesome! To those of you that are searching for answers, this book will answer a lot of questions about what what to expect when there is an outpouring of God.

That ye may ALL Prophecy

2008-01-30T12:02:00.000-08:00

Monday night we had such an awesome time at class! We were taught about prophecy and prophesying. The interesting thing I learned was that prophesying is NOT about discovering the dirt in people's lives.. It's about finding the treasure within the dirt. Afterwards we broke up into groups and I was in a small group. What is so nice is the atmosphere there allows people to learn how to hear from God and prophesy without fear of making mistakes. Religion often pictures God as an angry God, someone that is to be FEARED. While I totally agree with the holy and reverential fear of God, at the same time, I believe that God is also a God that you can get close to. He desires so much for us to draw near to him, jump into His lap and have that intimate time with God.

A Treasure Hunt

I was pleasantly surprised at how simple and easy it was to hear from God and prophesy. The gift of prophecy just flowed within our little group and it was just an awesome thing to be part of and to be used by God that way! The object was to find treasure within everyone in the group. Very refreshing!

Yesterday morning we woke up to snow on the mountain. It's been a while since it snowed last. What an awesome sight to behold! Today there was yet more snow.. There's a Wind Blowing... Winds of Change. Aslan is on the move.

The Bridal Chamber ~ Intimacy with Jesus

2008-01-29T14:15:00.001-08:00

Friday night I attended a Women's soaking retreat, led by Kim Kurnow. It was definitely a divine appointment. I found out about it last minute and decided to go. The room was decorated like a bridal suite and the floor was covered with comfortable satiny comforters. The fragrance of rose petals permeated the air. The room was lit by candles and very romantic. The idea was that this was the Chamber of the Bridegroom. There were two beautifully lace-decorated chairs with fancy cushions.

Kim taught on Being a Laid Down Lover of Jesus. She mentioned examples of people that poured themselves out at Jesus' feet, one being the woman that anointed his feet with the perfumed ointment from her alabaster box.

Afterwards we had coconut communion. That's the very first time I've ever heard of that! It's symbolic. The coconut on the tree is high and represents Jesus as He was in Heaven. As the coconut falls to the ground it represents Jesus as he went down to the deepest parts of the earth for us to pay the penalty for our sin. We partook of sliced coconut meat that was served in coconut halves and drank little communion cups filled with coconut juice.

As we listened to the beautiful music by Alberto & Kimberly Rivera, we all just laid down to learn how to pour out our love to the Lord. People all around me were experiencing an awesome time of intimacy with Jesus.

Then one by one, women were called out and as we sat on the chairs, we had our feet washed and we got a special treat: we all got prophesied over! So wonderful.

Movement Coming to Maui

2008-01-21T11:25:00.000-08:00

The following prophetic words were given to us by several BSSM students as we were at Bethel School in Redding in October 2007 at the end of the Open Heavens Conference.

As you guys are coming back to Maui, there's a movement coming. There will be a shaking. There's a shaking of the spiritual tectonic plates that is happening. Just be prepared for the Spirit to start shaking Maui. It's a good shaking.. like in Ezekiel where the bones started rattling and then it came together, and then the wind came. I feel that over you guys,. I feel that very strongly over you (Ryan). It's up to you guys too, move the kingdom of God into Maui. There's a shaking coming, there's a movement coming, there's a wave coming. And it's when you guys touch down, Watch for the signs. Learn to read the signs of the times. It's really important so that you can walk with the Lord in this thing; and you're going to be KEY in that.

Maui your time is now, Maui your time is now. We just declare that over that island, over that whole land mass. Your time is NOW.

We just call out for it now for massive salvation to sweep the island of Maui, that you'd continue to do a positioning, Father, within those that need to be positioned in that island for what as begun ..

I can literally hear the sound of thousands of people crying out, I can hear the sound of a movement coming, a rattling coming, there is a movement coming. There's something happening over Maui.

Father, we just say: Release it in its fulness. We cry out to ransom this place. God we call out for te captives and the sons and daughters to come out and just to be made known and to see the salvation of our God.

I keep hearing that over and over again in my spirit: Maui your time is now, Maui your time is now.

God, we declare it now, in this place.. we will not let go until we see it. We will not let go until we see this island saved. I keep hearing Psalm 126 "When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed, We release this over this nation That the captives are coming back... we will be like men who dreamed. It will be said among us, "The Lord has done great things. We're glad.!" In Psalm 126 it says further, Lord restore our fortunes. and that's translated, God, bring back the captive souls. We say that, Restore the fortunes of Maui. Restore the fortunes of Maui, God. That rumbling, sorry, I keep hearing it. That rumbling, and roaring. We just say release it God. When you guys go back to that island, when the wheels of that plane touch the ground, we say, release that cry, the cry in their heart for massive prayer and fasting with Maui. Do something with them, that will start the rumbling, that will start the shaking in the land. God, we just call again into the land, release your harvest in this island, All the hidden treasures that are locked up in this land, we say, come forth, come out in Jesus name. We call them out. Release your sprit over this island, Father. Maui your time is now. Maui your time is now.

For those of you that are going back and for those who are staying here: The generations that have prayed and died not seeing the promise. And you guys have the privilege to reap in the places that you haven't sown. They prayed and prayed, and they fasted and fasted, and they died choosing something better. Our fathers and mothers, our grandparents, our great-grandarents prayed and prayed and wept over your island. You guys get to harvest it. I see that. The seeds are ripe. So harvest, harvest knowing that you are standing in the promise of thousands of generations and what your family lines have labored for you get to harvest.

Such a celebration is going to rise from Maui. Such a celebration! Fireworks!

One of the redemptive giftings of Canada is to be the healing of the nations. We're the only nation with a leaf on our flag. It says in Rev 22 that the leaves of the trees are for the healing of nations. It is a prophetic gesture that there are so many Canadians here. I just release that anointing. Go and heal your nation. Go and heal your nation.

I was in the prayer chapel the other night and i saw all these rich dark green leaves and they fell over my body, And they fell off my body onto the ground. It is part of my inheritance as a Canadian. I release these leaves from heaven on you guys just to be the restorers of nations. Go up from here and restore other islands, restore other nations. We will see this revival come on these islands.

I feel it's really important that Canadians are partnering with you guys. Whether it's seen or not, it's still a redemptive gift. We want to partner with you through prayer through fasting, through whatever we can do for you guys. It's important that you guys are here with us.

We release the peacemaker. I just feel like the Lord is calling Maui from defense to offense. Stick it into offense. Release the offense Lord. Release the fire, God.

I want to proclaim that as these guys are just taking in and reflecting all the things that you are doing, that as they go back, they will be carrying a mantle of something that is so much different, stronger, bigger, bolder. That they will carry it back to their churches, communities. It's going to be a deep heart-thing, it's not a shallow reflection of you, a huge reflection of you like the mountains would be reflecting on a huge lake... that they would be carrying that in the depths of their hearts, super deep. Let them continue to grow their faith to catch those waves that are going to be pounding Maui. As you are going to be pounding that nation. It IS a nation!

Translation for this? I see these palm trees waving around. It's funny cuz we were talking about our maple leaf. I just see these palms waving. I know there's some biblical context for this. They laid their palms down on the ground when Jesus came, ushering him in. It's like the King is coming, You are princes and princesses.. It's like a red carpet, kind of... like some palms laid down for you.

For us Maui people, I hear God saying, "Instead of Maui being known as the windsurf capital of the world, He wants it to be known as the Holy Spirit Capital of the world."

When he mentioned the palm trees, I thought of the scripture in Isaiah 42:12 that says, Let them give glory to the Lord, let them declare His praise in the islands.
