The Last Move of God Was the Wilderness

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:43:00 +0000

On September 8, 2009, I had a night vision in which I was taken to an aerial view of various parts of the world. I was shown vast landscapes of lush grasslands that were teeming with new life. I could see exotic plants and trees and I knew in my spirit that what I was seeing was a new move from God that had come upon the earth to bring about a radical revival. Suddenly, a massive wave of destruction came upon the greenery. The whole scene was consumed and only a barren wasteland was left in its place. I watched in shock and felt disappointed and distressed at what I had witnessed. Then the audible voice of God spoke to me in the vision and said, "I released something new from Heaven but My people were not ready for it, so I had to bring a wilderness time to purge things that were not of Me." As I woke from the experience a very strong presence of God was in my bedroom.

Something New Started in 2005

The Holy Spirit spoke to me that God planned the start of something new in 2005, that would bring about a new level of anointing. This new level was intended to awaken a new revival. But because we were not ready for it, He changed it into a wilderness time instead. From 2005 to 2009, many people struggled through a major time of purging, testing and realignment. Wilderness experiences from God are necessary in order to refine and prepare us.

Hosea 2:14-15 NIV
"Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope..."

God released many promises to the Church in 2005. Some promises have been delayed and are now being released. Our ministry was located in Los Angeles around that time. We were gathering the resources and people to start a training and outreach center near Hollywood. We had been given a sizable grant to support the work, but in 2005 it was as though every door closed for us. We eventually gave the grant back and moved to Moravian Falls, North Carolina. We were literally placed in the wilderness (we lived in the woods of North Carolina) and we experienced a very difficult time for three years, including a very limited amount of influence and favor. Then in 2009, we were suddenly sent back to the West Coast to start a training center—this time in Santa Maria, California.

We are now in a time of realignment and restarting. Many prophetic words and promises got sidetracked or delayed, and some are now void because of the sudden switch in the spirit. If you have gone through difficult and unclear times over the past few years, this may very well be the reason why. Had God allowed the new movement to come in the condition we were in, it may have destroyed us.

A Time of Awakening

Throughout the month of September, I kept hearing a line from a song on the radio, "Wake me up when September ends." This is very much like the call going out from God right now—He will be waking many of His people up in the month of October. This is the time to press in to God and ask Him for more clarity. We will all see some type of answered prayer during this month. You will need to watch for it. Those who are not paying attention may miss this fresh time of God's visitation. God is visiting our situations, our families, jobs, relationships, and ministries, and a trumpet blast is going out to call people to awaken! We will see some strange events in the months to come and a massive amount of sudden changes and turnarounds. If we stay centered on God, we will not be shaken.

Check for yourself—think back and look at the year 2005 and see if anything unusual happened. Were you going one direction when things switched and seemed to dry up? As I have asked people this question, I am hearing story after story of how God had either made a promise that didn't seem to work out, or some even saw a new move of God start that suddenly got cut off.

This is what I believe God is saying, "Just as suddenly as things changed and were cut off in 2005, I am now renewing and reviving situations—suddenly! I am parting the Red Sea once again and making the impossible possible. Watch Me, and give Me glory as your life and ministry are restored and renewed in this very hour."

Prayer: "God, awaken us to what You are doing in our lives right now. Give us eyes to see and ears that can hear what You are doing. Amen."

Angels with Assignment Are Preparing Us to Receive Revelation - From the Open Book

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:45:00 +0000

Before leaving home in Salem, Alabama, the morning of July 28, 2008, I had prayed in frustration, asking the Lord to help me recapture the dream that I had experienced during the previous night. I remembered that an angel had walked into our bedroom and over to my side of the bed. He had spoken several things to me, and as he was finishing, I was awakened by our four-year-old daughter Olivia crying out in the night, "Daddy, that door is open, should I go through it?"

I got out of bed and walked to the doorway of her room. She was sleeping soundly. As I walked back to bed, I suddenly realized that I could not remember a single thing the angel had said to me. It was as though it had been erased from my memory.

The next morning I was scheduled to fly to Canada for a conference with Paul Keith Davis and Neville Johnson. With a stopover in Salt Lake City, I was to meet up with Paul Keith before completing our journey. I finally spotted him, and as I approached him he greeted me with: "Steven, what happened to you last night?" I must have looked shocked because he then explained that around 3 AM he woke up with his wife Wanda standing over him, asking him the same question!

Earlier that night, Wanda had experienced a supernatural encounter. She was shown that a message of some sort was being given at that very moment to both Paul Keith and myself. It was embarrassing for me to have to tell Paul Keith that even though I knew I had been visited by an angel in a dream, I could not remember anything that had been spoken to me. He agreed to help me pray that the message would not be lost.

Late that night I finally settled into my hotel room in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. In desperation, I called out to the Lord to restore what I felt the enemy had stolen from my mind. I randomly opened my Bible and used it as a pillow and I lay on the floor and buried my face into its open pages. I was so very disappointed in myself for letting this slip and repented in case there was anything that I had done that had caused it to be lost. I felt like a poor steward of what the Lord was saying to us.

After much weeping I raised my head and my eyes fell on the open pages of my Bible. It was opened to Daniel Chapter Two, where the king had forgotten a dream and was asking for Daniel to tell him both the dream and the interpretation of it. I smiled inside at God's perfect timing. I was encouraged and drifted off to sleep, knowing that the Lord would restore to me the revelation that had slipped from my memory.

God didn't waste any time. I began dreaming that I was back in my bedroom in Alabama. I was somehow conscious enough to wonder in excitement if this would be the lost dream. I soon recognized the angel that I had seen the night before and determined to listen carefully to what he had to say. The dream progressed as he walked over to my side of the bed.

The Message

He said: "The plumb line is NOW in the hand of Zerubbabel."

Zechariah 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

A "plumb line" is a simple but accurate ancient tool that is used to determine whether or not something is perfectly vertical or upright. It consists of a line and a weight of some sort. Initially a stone was used, but in later times the weight was more commonly made of lead.

I knew that in the context of this experience this plumb line spoke of a Word or Message from the Lord that was being released in our day that would measure, once and for all, the "uprightness" of the Bride. The very definition of the word righteousness is "uprightness."

Amos 7:7-8 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in His hand. And the LORD said unto me, "Amos, what seest thou?" And I said, "A plumbline." Then said the LORD, "Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel..."

We have, in recent times, been guilty perhaps of leaning too far to the left or too far to the right. I knew that the Angel was saying that it was time to examine how we were standing and to make the necessary adjustments immediately. We can only make these important changes by examining our lives according to the clear plumb line message of the Kingdom being released by God in the earth NOW. In addition, we must cooperate fully with the double grace (see Zechariah 4:7) that is being extended to the Bride in this season.

Interestingly, Zerubbabel is the one who led the first band of Jews back to Jerusalem from Babylonian captivity. This exodus took place in the first year of Cyrus, the King of Persia. We also learn that Zerubbabel laid the foundation for the Second Temple.

Zechariah 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.

It becomes clear that as Zerubbabel was a builder of the natural temple, these same Scriptures prophesy of the building of a spiritual temple. Zerubbabel is a type of the Master Builder, who is shaping and molding His people into a temple in which He can dwell with all His fullness. Zerubbabel's perseverance in the completion of the earthly Temple is a prophetic sign to us that the Lord Jesus will also prevail in finishing the spiritual temple that he is building in and through us.

Philippians 1:6 (AMP) And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ (right up to the time of His return), developing (that good work) and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.

I then asked the angel, "Who are you?"

"I am one of those who has been sent to prepare a people to receive the open book and to eat it!" he answered boldly.

I believe that this was the Lord speaking clearly of a people in this hour, who were chosen before the foundation of the world, to discover hidden treasures that have been reserved in darkness. These hidden treasures are truths that were sealed and not available to the Body of Christ for many centuries...until NOW.

Isaiah 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

Taste and See

Perhaps some wonder why these mysteries were hidden for so long. The answer is two-fold. First, these truths were reserved until this generation because we have now crossed that threshold into the end of days to which these truths are at long last relevant. Second, there were things concealed in this open book which, because of their spiritual implications, made it imperative that they be hidden from our enemy. Just think what damage might have been done had they fallen into satan's hands at the wrong time or ahead of God's great times and seasons.

Satan is constantly trying to cause things to engage earlier than their appointed time. Prayer warriors are often being arrested to pray against this plot of the enemy to pre-empt the timing of the Lord. Because of this strategy of the enemy, it requires that we as a Body of Believers walk even more sensitively and in total agreement with the purposes and seasons of the Lord (see 1 Chronicles 12:32).

It is part of the overcomer's calling to receive this open book revelation and to eat it. We read in Revelation 10:9-11 that John was told to eat it up. He was also warned that it would be sweet in his mouth, reminding us of the sweetness of true revelation. John was further warned that the book would be bitter in his belly. This speaks of the effect that these revelations will have on the inside of the Believer. As these truths are made real to us we will not be able to keep them inside; they are not for us only but must come out of us again as we prophesy these end-time truths to many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

It is refreshing for us to know that in these troubled and uncertain times when we often feel overwhelmed and insufficient for the task of harvest, that God is releasing angels who find and mark those who hunger for deeper truths. These angels will then help to prepare us to open up our hearts for Kingdom mysteries. Additionally, they will release God's grace over us to step aside, when necessary, from our own opinions and interpretations of the Word.

Angelic Convergence

A few weeks ago we were gathered once again in Red Deer for the annual "Rivers of God's Love" conference. Again God chose to speak to me in a dream. I was given a pair of very old binoculars and then instructed to look through them. As I placed them before my eyes, I saw two groups of angels coming in, one from the East and one from the West. They were converging in the middle and teaming up in pairs. I then saw them being dispatched to various places throughout the world.

I then took the binoculars away from my eyes and realized that I could no longer see the angels.

"What was I seeing?" I asked.

The messenger replied: "This day begins a new cooperation in the angelic realm. Two classes of angels who each have distinct commissions are now being joined together in full cooperation for a season of ministry."

I found this so fascinating that once again I placed the old binoculars up to my eyes and carefully examined the scene before me.

The angels coming in from the West looked almost identical in every way. Their robes matched in every detail down to the trimmings. They seemed oddly familiar to me. I suddenly realized that the one who had come to me in Alabama was one of these. I could only surmise that these were the angels who were being sent to prepare a people to receive and to eat the open book!

I then asked the messenger who had given me the binoculars, "Who are these other angels coming in from the East?" I had noticed that they were also quite similar to each other, but I observed that there were variations in the belts that they wore.

"These are angels that gather," I was told. Although I was very familiar with Paul Keith's encounter with them, this was my first time seeing them.

He then restated to me what I had concluded on my own: "There will now be a divine cooperation between the angels that gather and the angels that are sent to prepare a people to receive and eat the open book."

We are living in incredibly exciting days. Angels are being dispatched to help prepare us to receive, eat, and digest perhaps the most astounding revelation of all time...the revelation of the open book! We may not yet have the full understanding of what this angelic cooperation will look like, but I am convinced that it certainly means that help is on the way. More than ever, humility is the order of the day. Declare with your mouth that you are HUNGRY and willing to do whatever it takes to be a vital part of what God has in store.

For further understanding of what the revelation of the "open book" is about, read Daniel 12:1-4, Revelation chapters 5, 6 and 10.

Kim Clement prophesies to Seattle. A season is ending.

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:54:00 +0000

From Seattle, WA August 25, 2008

Hear the Word of the Lord tonight. Even as I have worked things out and made arrangements in the strange manner that men behave…

Do you think it uncivilized and uncouth to clap your hands and shout? When in fact, there were the methods that I chose to bring great kings and warriors down. Your praise tonight is coming before the Lord. For the soil of the northwest has been crying out to bring forth and I have looked for My new creation surrounded by a great cloud of witness to be begin to do even in greater manner. There is a realm of beginning that is coming from covenant, there is a realm of dominion that is coming when My men stand together and government is cut.

Do you think I will turn away from that which is everlasting to everlasting? My everlasting covenant way before time began is now in this season and time being chosen and raised up. Oh northwest do you know what is happening? The spiritual wickedness has stood the test of time and broken one man down and then another man down. Now listen to a sound that is coming, for I am building a house that shall being in the most unusual and unique acts of God. Moses knew My ways, the children of Israel knew My acts. I’ve looked for a people who would know My ways. I will teach you from this place My ways and I will multiply from this place. My ways will be known by men and they shall say come to a house that understands the everlasting covenant. Dominion shall emerge and arise from this place where businessmen who would never have darkened the door of a church will walk in and say we sense liberty where we can come. I will take their finance and I will take their influence and I will cause them to bow their knee to the greatness of My Christ. Therefore begin to shout and celebrate for this is what I’m going to do.

Yes, it’s okay for the Spirit of God has made ways in the wilderness so many times. Have I not spoken of cures that would come from this region? Haven’t I told you that there would be cures that would come from this very region? Yet men have laid down their swords in shame and said we cannot be as uncivilized as what’s expected. God says this is a day to lose something. Lose your pride, lose your religion, lose the methods and lose the systems that have not worked for I am now going to give you a new set of rules says the Spirit of God.

Liberty shall come for I will cause this house to explode. They will say where do we go now? Men will come and they will lay at your bosom and they will say we wish to give you of this building and of that building. There is one situated in Seattle which I will give and grant unto you Covenant Churches together. I will cause them to be a place where words shall go out through the internet and words shall go out throughout the earth. This is no small thing. When I take a place as popular as this and raise up a dead people who have no idea of the technology that is about to come to the earth. You are the people I have chosen, I must gather them together and bring them under one roof to make one sound says the Lord.

I can hear you, I can hear you Spirit of God. These are words that are necessary and vital. What of the others, the gatekeepers of this city? I have not stood down from them. I have called them to come for there shall be a gathering of gatekeepers, true gatekeepers that shall understand what apostolic really means. For this new set of rules that I give you shall defy the very systems that have brought death into the hearts of men and women. Families shall once again stand in honor for the dishonor that has come because of My men who are bored and careless because they have no prophetic revelation.

I am releasing a brand new prophetic revelation that shall flow, a spirit of prophetic revelation. For the Spirit of God says was it not true that Joseph was sold as a slave, the prophetic revelation was given to Egypt, therefore Egypt was the one that was abundant. Yet Jacob said to his sons, why do you sit staring at one another, why do you look and one another and feed off each other, for there is wheat, there is corn in Egypt therefore you are to go where the corn is and to buy it so we will not starve. God says that day is no longer where the corn is in Egypt. I will give you what is in Egypt for this day the prophetic revelation that is missing from the church is going to be granted back to you as a people so that you can bring the abundance into this nation once again says the Lord.

The tumultuous season is coming to an end. A season is ending. A season of intense attack. A season of intense attack, dishonor, disrobing from your adversary is now coming to an end says the Spirit of God. There is a time and a season for every purpose under the sun. A time to live and a time to die, a time for war and a time for peace. The Spirit of God says do not fear for your elections. My church shall be more valid and more energetic and more prosperous than it has ever been for you have survived a tumultuous season and because you have survived it; you have stood the test of time, now take what is yours. For the promise that has been in existence shall now come to pass in this season.

I heard Him speak about Thanksgiving. He said you are going to be thanking in Thanksgiving in a way that you have not done in many, many decades. For there is a divine vindication coming to the United States of America that will shock the Senate, will shock Republican and Democrat alike. There will be an unusual unity that shall come. Let me whisper this in your ear, prepare yourself for one of the most enjoyable, victorious Thanksgivings that you have ever experienced in the month of November says the Lord.

Testimony: The God Squad

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 04:52:00 +0000

In the Spirit of Revelation 19:10, "...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

These particular videos are not about the Northwest, though this kind of thing is going on in our region as well. Please hear this as a testimony: God is doing this; He wants to do more. Pray for more workers in the harvest.

The Spirit is About to Move in Olympia

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:25:00 +0000

Here’s an account of something that the Spirit led myself and a brother I was close to about 10 years ago. We (Kermit and I) were simply headed down to the Y.M.C.A. to get in a workout and some time in the steam room where we shared, and prayed...we jokingly called “The almost holy place” as naked men and a steam room seemed a little odd yet the Spirit came, at times in a powerful way. We got down to the Y and were informed they were closed to the public as it was their end of the summer cleaning and remodeling week, so we walked out wondering what to do.

As soon as we got outside I felt the Presence of the Spirit and said to Kermit. “I think the Lord wants us to go somewhere and pray.” We got in my van and I felt led (and told Kermit) that we should go out to Priest Point Park. a park on Puget Sound here in Olympia that had originally been settled (the land) and developed by a group of Catholic Priests (The site was claimed as St. Joseph’s of New Market and was led by Father Pascal Ricard. Father Ricard and three other priests cleared the land, planted a large garden, built a chapel and operated a school for Indian boys.) We got to the park and I felt led to drive to an observation point that had a majestic view overlooking Budd Inlet. This point, however, had originally been fortified with about 6 or 7 8-10 foot long cannons that guarded the harbor against potential invasion (British...Russians) during Washington’s territorial times.

We went out on the point (It was nighttime you could see the whole downtown) and prayed for leading and the Spirit impressed me to pray against specific things as revealed and I did. Kermit however prayed quite differently weeping and beseeching God for the people in Olympia..(He had come down to the Y early and was led by the Spirit to walk the streets of Olympia and pray before I arrived). And then we were done

Next week we headed back down to the Y for our regular workout and steam, thinking what had happened was VERY powerful but was over, when we were again informed that the Y was closed due to a board member meeting, open to the public but the facilities were closed. As we left the second time (beginning to sense God doing something) both Kermit and I were aware of the Spirit and we got in my van again and prayerfully began driving. We drove up to the State Capitol Building(s) and felt led to get out of the van and walk while we prayed. We walked down the capitol rotunda, down the grounds and circled back up through the city on Capital Way, praying as we walked and returned to the van. Back inside we could see down over the city of Olympia and Kermit pointed to the Port of Olympia docks (which we could see from our high vantage point) where city government and shipping is located. “I think we’re supposed to go there to pray” he said, so we drove down there. After we arrived at the very end of the port docks we again prayed for leading and prayed as the Spirit impressed us, and then once again, we knew we were done.

Believe it or not the next week we headed back down to once again, simply resume our workout rendezvous and had failed to notice the sign that said “End of summer all staff meeting Y closed” and to seemingly further complicate things this time we had my youngest daughter Jennifer with us as she was going to swim while we worked out. A young man came forward (from the staff gathered behind the front counter) and said “I’m the lifeguard, I’ll watch her while she swims as I’m going back to college next week and don’t have to attend this meeting...to which I said O.K. and she went with him.

THIS time we were quite aware of the Spirit and we got in Kermit’s car this time as he said he believed he knew where we were to go. We drove on and he drove up Mottman Hill to the Thurston County courthouse grounds. We got out of the car and I followed him to another point that overlooked Olympia from another side of the city and we sat on a bench looking out (beautiful view) over the harbor and Capitol Lake.

“Look at there.” Kermit said as he pointed to Priest Point Park, where we prayed the 1st time. “That’s where we prayed the 1st time. The park observation point was the seat of territorial authority” Look over there, as he pointed to the Capitol grounds, (2nd place we prayed) “that is the seat of State authority. “Look down there, as he pointed to the Port docks (3rd place we prayed) that is the seat of City authority. “And” he said “we are on the Thurston County courthouse grounds, the seat of County authority. As he said those words the Spirit descended on us powerfully and we both prayed out, as led, and then once again, it was over and we drove back to the Y to pick up Jennifer.

I have had few experiences as led and powerful as this I just described but I truly believe Kermit and I were led to “attack” principalities and while the move of the Spirit hasn’t (seemingly) happened yet... I remember Paul ministered in Ephesus for over 2 years before the Spirit moved in a powerful way and this area is very occultishly entrenched. Anyway just wanted to share that with you.

Be Blessed

A Force is Mounting in the Northwest

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:09:00 +0000

The Lord says: "A force is mounting in the Northwest" The Lord says, "A force is mounting in the Northwest, yes, a great force, vigorous and ready. A political army assembles--man upon man, woman upon woman, they come together like soldiers in your territory Washington. And in you Oregon, her sister beside, I will base my fortresses to plot my victories in your government. And you, Olympia, once called 'the mountain of the gods', you will see a new political mountain raised in your midst.

The Lord speaks of a new political kind "People of the Northwest, a new kind of politics brews in your midst! It is brewing and it is coming! No, not by a human hand, not by a human hand, but by a finger from on high. My hand will break out of political boxes and I will ignore and cross well established boundaries. Frontiers will be advanced upon and taken, causing many to wonder at this new force rising in your region. I am granting a unique political creativity in your place and a strange innovation from me will win the high places of government in your land.

The Lord addresses Washington DC: "To you, people of the Northwest, I give this as an inheritance. No other among your states has seen it, but you will see it. Would you be jealous California? Do not worry, I will include your northern portions. And you Florida, is your sunshine not enough? Do not be envious Ohio, for your portion is good and pleasant. But be warned Alabama, I have seen things that do not favor you.

"And you, mighty Washington D.C., how can I pass you by? Would you be jealous when the gaze of this nation turns to Washington, even Olympia? Should I not contend with you? Should I not set the two Washingtons upon opposing hills? Should I not set West against East? I will establish you Northwest, but I will shake you Northeast. I will choose! This time I will choose. I will choose between law and law, between man and man, and I will show myself in your nation's politics. Should I be the God of Zion, but not of Washington? Should I reign in the highest heaven, but not on the earth's high places? I will tread them and you will see me in places of rule in this land once again.

The Lord will give a sign "Would you look for a sign? Look then, open wide your eyes and look. Look for the changing of the guard. Watch as power is transferred. You will see the deaths of your dignitaries and officials, and so will die with them old patterns of political battle. Opportunities will open for my newness to emerge. "Well done my watchmen! You have prevailed! A breach has been created and a breakthrough has been accomplished before my face. The enemy is forced to restructure and his strength wanes. Reinforcements have been beckoned, but to no avail. My ministering spirits are shuffling about and readying themselves to release four political winds blowing as one. Even the market is readying itself; the silver and gold are changing hands to find rest in the treasuries of my political force. I have already sent people of influence to hasten my word, and I will send more.

The Lord says: "There is one coming with the spirit of Ronald Reagan" "There is one coming with the spirit of Ronald Reagan. I will put a scepter in his hand and he will guide my force. I have set aside a lofty seat for him, for he will do what is good and right in my sight. When he stumbles I will uphold him with my right hand. When he is cast down I will lift his head once again. He will seek peace with North Korea and extend his hand to mend and repair. In that day many will say, 'Is this not the way of Reagan? Did he not seek goodness with Gorbachev? Surely we have seen his way once again!'"

Randy Clark on the Azusa Street 100 Year Prophecy for 2009

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 14:57:00 +0000

Recently, I posted a quick note about a word that is becoming known as the "100 Year Prophecy." The heart of the content is that the leaders of the Azusa Street Revival prophesied in 1909 that a hundred years later (that would be our time, friends), there would be another revival, one that would be as powerful as the Azusa street movement, but more widely distributed.

I have two things to add to that:

1) It's time for us to pray this revival in. Specifically - and I say this based on the 200 other prophecies on this website - it's time to pray this into the Pacific Northwest. I know that I find it much easier to pray for something like this when God has already promised that He would do it.

2) Apparently there are others picking up this theme. Here is Randy Clark talking about the same prophecy.

God Says, "The Winds of Change Are Coming on a Global Scale

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 15:11:00 +0000

Introduction: I believe that this is about as important a word as there is right now. I know hundreds of believers who are feeling these winds of change, but not understanding their significance, not recognizing the work that is needed to prepare for them. -Editor

Recently, a friend of mine sent this communiqué to thousands of church leaders around the world:

"In 1998, Hurricane Mitch wrecked havoc across Central America, especially in Honduras. Thousands of people perished, were injured and many missing. The infrastructure of roads was decimated and 150 bridges were destroyed or damaged. The Choluteca Bridge, built by Japanese engineers and donated to the Hondurans, was the most modern bridge in the region and it remained intact. While it was not damaged, the bridge was no longer necessary because the hurricane changed the flow of the river that once ran beneath it. A bridge typically spans a body of water and connects two pieces of dry land. When the water beneath it no longer flows, you can hardly call it a bridge. Without water, a bridge has lost its purpose. It is simply a monument to a past feat of engineering but it has no current relevance."

In the Church today the Winds of Change are blowing, and this wind of Heaven will alter the course of cultures and ministries. God's wind is now blowing, and what is not based on His foundational reality will become a relic of the past. Several months ago the Lord revealed a prophetic picture to me. I saw a vast plain that was covered with sand. As a wind began to blow, the sand was pushed away to reveal a large foundation underneath. The foundation was Christ Himself infused with the ministry gifts He will use to transform the earth. I realized that the covering of sand was very shallow—just enough to obscure what lay beneath. This foundational truth will not be discovered by human intellect but be revealed by the breath of God's Spirit.

For the last several months people have come to me after some of our church gatherings to tell me they have been feeling a wind blowing against them during our times of worship. These people were not sitting near air conditioning vents. No one walked past them and stirred the air. There was no natural explanation for the wind. At a recent conference in Africa, a wind could be felt so strongly that several people were literally blown backwards off their feet during worship. The wind of Heaven is blowing on the Church.

Prophetic Word of the Lord: Winds of Change Are Coming

While I was still in Africa, between meetings, the Lord impressed upon me the following word:

"Winds of Change are coming on a global scale—no longer to be viewed in a local context. When the Winds of Change blow in your meetings, the source of the wind will not have its origin from a specific geographic location, but will come from My very breath in Heaven. I am blowing a new wind from My throne upon the earth, and as it strikes the earth it will disperse in all directions to touch all nations.

"There is a shift taking place. This shift will realign those hearing My voice to prophesy in the direction of My coming changes. You will at first appear to be speaking into nothing, into the lesser places—to unrecognized locations, but this is part of the shift I will bring.

"This Wind of Change will stir into existence new ministries and uncover new giftings in My people. The wind will blow away the layer of dust that lies atop My foundation. Clarity will come as the wind blows.

"It will appear that an old foundation has been revealed. It is neither old nor new. My revelation is from timeless eternity. As the wind blows you will begin to understand what these last years have been about. I have not given you a full understanding of this last season because understanding is not what you have needed. I have covered what I am about to reveal until this time.

"These things will not be discovered with the mind. I will reveal these things to you by the breath of My Spirit. I have allowed this foundation to be covered, not to hide it, but to give it time to become seasoned and strong.

"Hear Me, Church. My Wind is blowing. A shift is taking place. You are about to see the effects of My breath upon the earth. Just as I breathed life into Adam, and just as I breathed life into the Church at her birth, I am about to breathe a new thing upon you. My Winds of Change are coming."

Urgent: The Court of Heaven is in Session. It's time for the Church to Get on Their Face - The Verdict is NOT IN YET!

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:57:00 +0000

Note: this is an unusual posting. This document is not the prophetic word; it is the introduction to the prophetic word. The word itself has not been transcribed. If you would like to transcribe it and email it to me, I'll post that, but I believe that this word is best when listened to, when heard.

The audio file can be downloaded from here. It is a large file (It's 26.2 mb, .mp3), but it's worth the work! I don't let many words through with the word "Urgent" on them. I think this one is appropriate.

Introduction by Larry Randolph:

In 2005, I was visited by an Angel of the Lord who showed me a string of events that would unfold beginning in 2007 through the end of 2012. One of the most striking predictions was his proclamation that, "The economy of this nation will go down a long, dark hill." Among many other things, the angel also informed me that in the same year I saw the deaths of many Hollywood celebrities, it would signify the end of an era and the beginning of change in the nation. I shared these things in a few meetings, but felt that I should not yet release the details of the visitation on a national scale.

"What God Told Me in July of 2008 About THAT September"
Then in July of 2008, the Lord informed me that a "perfect storm" would hit the nation in the middle of September and that it would be the beginning of the economic collapse the angel revealed to me in 2005. Again, I was reluctant to draw national attention to the coming events and purposely restricted the prophetic word to a small number of conferences. Although the prediction came to pass around the 15th of September 2008, part of my reluctance to give the prophetic word was due to much of the negativity that is often associated with a number of prophetic ministries. As one called to encourage the Church prophetically, I tend to shy away from anything that sounds like "gloom and doom" and often wait for God to show me the redemptive value of what is happening.

"I NOW Feel an Urgency to SOUND THE ALARM!"
That being said, however, I now feel an urgency to sound the alarm that unprecedented events are approaching us on many levels. We are at the end of the "holding pattern" we have experienced this year and are about to enter another season of change and great shaking. In fact, there is a "super-shift" coming that is truly bittersweet and will ultimately reveal the best of times and the worst of times. In view of the sobering times we are approaching, I have decided to release a prophetic word that I recently delivered at Grace Center, my home church in Franklin, Tennessee.

As you'll hear in the prophecy, the shift begins this September, continuing throughout October, and will gain both momentum and velocity by December 31st. Interestingly, the 31st is a "blue moon" night that is an astronomical rarity—thus the phrase "once in a blue moon."

Also, a part of my decision to release the following prophecy is related to yet another encounter I had in August. Around the middle of the month, I had a vision of a 5.0 earthquake that would mark the beginning of a critical shift. I also saw a greater shaking that was to follow in the near future. The next day, I called my friend Bob Jones who confirmed that he was also feeling "a trembling" in the Earth. Several days after our conversation, there was a 5.0 earthquake in Alaska on August 19th, which confirmed to me the importance of the vision. (Reported on Fox News August 19, 2009: 5.0-Magnitude Earthquake Rattles Anchorage, Alaska.)

And, if I am interpreting correctly what I feel and see, there is yet a seven-fold shaking of greater magnitude coming that will produce enormous and perhaps catastrophic disruptions on economic, political, geophysical, atmospheric, and spiritual levels.

No Matter What Events Unfold, God is "Unfailingly Redemptive"
However, the good news is that God is unfailingly redemptive, no matter what events unfold in the world. According to the Prophet Isaiah, when darkness invades the Earth, the glory of God is certain to arise upon His people. Although we are entering uncertain and turbulent waters, remember that the challenges we face can affect us for good or for bad. When God shook the fountains of the deep in Noah's day, for example, the flood had both negative and positive implications for that generation. For those outside the ark it was devastating, but for those inside the ark it was liberating. So depending on your posture in Christ, the coming days can either be the best of times or the worst of times.

A Call To Intercession & Prophesy: Ocean Shores to Aberdeen

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:01:00 +0000

Since settling here in March 2001, the Spirit continues to speak to me concerning His move about this area. The voice of the Spirit commands us to "prophesy to the land, the hills, the mountains and the trees." He commands that we "prophesy against the winds of destruction and for the breath of God as He breathes upon the waters." The Spirit is calling forth the spirits of men with an emphasis upon:

1. Wounded Christian Soldiers
2. Backsliders
3. Native Americans
4. American Immigrants
5. Lost and Wounded Souls blinded by mind-altering drugs/alcohol, debauchery, sorcery, child/sexual abuse, and mental illness

While earthquake and tsunami warnings surround us, God would have us to realize that His plan for the North West 'is for good and not for evil.' We are called to seek His wisdom and to pray for His Will to prevail bringing about the cleansing and realignment He desires. We have nothing to fear but the lack of oil in our lamps resulting from complacency. We are exhorted through the stirring up of our gifts by the Holy Spirit to prepare for revival.

This local revival will be marked by the shaking of all things that can be shaken and a great flood of the Holy Spirit mapped in the natural by floods and waves. Even now, men and women are being prepared to "rebuild" after the great shaking. God has called forth a number of "unliklies" to effect a enormous impact upon the Body of Christ. Most of these people are "silently preparing" unaware that they are not alone. The two things these people have in common are:

1. A Godly desire to offer up their time and skills to the edifying of the Body of Christ;
2. A willingness to let God use them in whatever capacity He sees fit regardless to convenience and in the face of great adversity; and
3. A current life-style marked by proverty and/or the lack of modern conveniences afforded to most Americans

The revival we are pressing through to effect will be accomplished through supernatural evangelism.

A Warning to Alaska, The Horses Are Coming! (Part 2)

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:09:00 +0000

Prophetic Word given in Chugiak, Alaska on November 20th, 2008

**Horses representation of opposition and promotion

"Alaska, The Obstacle to the Anti-Christ" “If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?” Jeremiah 12:5 KJV

The people of Alaska are in a place of need for a prophetic word of preparedness for what is coming. In the last 7-8 weeks, a global warfare has targeted Alaska. But God has sent more angels here, because He always does that because He knows what’s going on in the realm of the Spirit. The global warfare that has targeted Alaska is deals that are going on behind closed doors. People that are figuring out how they can get their hands on your land. Figuring out how they can use Alaska as a source or a bargaining chip.

There are all kinds of strategies going on in the political realm that the Lord showed me about. I'll tell you one thing God showed me: God showed me that there are people that are in corporations- native corporations that have sent people to school- that have educated people, that have CEO's, that understand how the business world works, and you have been in a place of preparation for what is about ready to happen.

WHY GOD CHOSE ALASKA

Why did God choose the people of Alaska? 600,000 people in a landmass that can cover the entire United States. Why did God choose Alaska? Because God likes to do the IMPOSSIBLE. Everything that God has ever done, He gets the glory for because its impossible. If its possible, its not God. If its possible, mankind can do it. But if its not possible, its God. As of right now, people in high places, people in governments, peoples who are affecting the world in war, and high level of mammon-oriented people are staring at your state! They started doing this about 8 weeks ago and a lot of symptoms got on the people of Alaska.

These symptoms have made peoples feel tired, they felt like they wanted to move. They felt like they were depressed. All kinds of things began to happen. A lot of mental warfare. When I landed here, it was completely different than its ever been before. And God is saying "If you ran with the footmen"-and that was just dealing with the 'local stuff', okay, that was just making Christians out of people, running churches, family situations- "If you've run with that and that wore you out, how are you going to contend with the horses?"

RECOGNIZE YOUR TIME OF VISITATION, ALASKA!

And this is what God has sent me here to tell you: BE PREPARED, BECAUSE THE HORSES ARE COMING. Now, somebody said 'Is that bad news or good news?' Oh, its good news-its great news, as long as the Church stands on its authority and occupies what God has given it. If the Church does not recognize the time of their visitation for the transference of wealth, that God is going to shake the nations yet once more- He talks about it in Haggai,...but He's going to shake them, and the treasures-and you'll see, it is land, you'll see, it's resources- are going to come into the hand of born again Believers, people-Zion, the Church, who love God with all of their heart.

So we have got to prepare ourselves right now that we have the mind of Christ, that Christ is the wisdom of God. We've got to pray more now than ever, and we've got to bind the spirit of fear, and not allow the spirit of fear to run us out of what God has placed us in stewardship over. So, if you've run with the footmen and they've wearied thee, how are you going to contend with the horses? And if the land of peace wherein ye trusted they wearied thee, how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? And we found out that the swelling of Jordan is harvest.

Now, its no coincidence that this is coinciding with Alaska's Jubilee. Fifty years you've been a state, and the wild thing is that coming up right on your tail is Hawaii. And the people of Alaska and the people of Hawaii are very similar. But all of a sudden, its going to be Jubilee for the entire United States of America. See, we've never had Jubilee before. Because we've never been the United States of America- ALL OF US, 50 YEARS. Now, all of a sudden, we are coming into a time where the USA is going to be coming into a- (2 of its states, Alaska and Hawaii, around the same time, one year apart)- is coming into a Jubilee.

DO NOT FALL PREY TO MAMMOM

Jubilee means restoration of every debt. Jubilee means whatever got taken away from you, God is going to restore it to you. Jubilee is an amazing time. And I'm sure you've had great teaching on Jubilee, but there's something amazing and wonderful happening, and we have got to prepare our spirits. We cannot fall prey to mammon, because, Alaska, God has chosen you to stand in the way of the manifestation of the Antichrist. God is using you! You wonder why things seem a little different. Its because you've got international focuson you. We talked about it last night. People come up to Alaska to get away from culture. And I'm not saying that you don't have culture. You have culture! But you come up here to get away from the concrete jungle. You come up here to get away from traffic on the 405 freeway in L.A. You want to breathe fresh air, you want to look out and see a mountain, you want to see a moose walking by, you want to know that there's a bear over there. You come up here or you are born here and you love it here because you've got freedom. 600,000 people in a land mass that if you put it on a map, you could cover the whole United States of America. 600,000 people! There are more people that are in 6 blocks in New York. Its crazy, there are 7 billion people on the planet, and one of the hugest land masses on the planet is the least populated.

Why are you here? Because, YOU ARE CALLED HERE. WAKE UP CALL! WAKE UP CALL! You are called here! Hallelujah. The swelling of Jordan represents harvest. Harvest is the greatest harvest of souls the world will ever see. We're on the brink of it. Whether we are being pressed towards it faster than we want to go or not, is in God's hands. But at the end of the day, if you were looking at the signs of the times, or if you were studying at all prophetically, you will see that we are in the fulfillment of the last of the last days. And in the last of the last days God is not coming for a Church that is all ragged, God is coming for a Church without spot, without wrinkle! God is coming for a victorious Church. God is coming for a Church that's going to win multiplied billions of people for Jesus before He comes.

VISION OF 3 WHITE HORSES

My God has chosen Alaska. And you are in Alaska. He chose you. Now, I want to tell you who the horses are. When God gave me this Word for you, He showed me a vision of three horses. Now, your mind immediately goes to Revelation. Mine didn't. Because I'm a Faith preacher, and I will teach the book of Revelation, but I'm not going up to Alaska to talk about the 'red horse of war' and the black horse of famine and the pale horse of death and hell. I mean, they're in there, but that’s not my territory. So when God showed me three horses, He showed me three white horses. So I said, "Lord, what is that?" He said, "Lets find out." I said, "Alright, let’s find out." Lets find out what the horses are, because the horses are coming.

Ecclesiastes 10:7 "I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth."

In this scripture, the Bible is talking about the Body of Christ in the last days as kings and priests on horses. The Bible is talking about, in this portion of Scripture, one word: PROMOTION. That's what the word is. Somebody said "Well I didn't know horses represented promotion." Well, these white ones do.

This is promotion! This is Biblical Promotion. So any way that we are going to be promoted, its going to be this way! This is God promotion!

Genesis 39:5 "And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field."

It doesn't matter what kind of job you work, it doesn't matter if everyone around you doesn't know Jesus. God is going to promote you, and because He promotes you, everyone around you is going to get blessed. See, this promotion is going to be on the Body of Christ as they receive it. But everyone around you is going to get blessed because they're gonna pull on your coat tail and say "Hey, what is it that you got? Take me to that house where you are hearing that Word. Take me to that house!" God is going to show Himself mighty in the last days; not only in the miraculous-in physical miracles, but also in the miraculous in financial miracles. God is going to bless you. I love the way God promotes people, because God PROMOTES people; people who promote themselves always fall. God said, "I build the house- if I don't build it, they labor in vain who build it."

Genesis 41:40, God says -of course, thru Pharaoh: "Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou."

HOLY GHOST WISDOM ON YOUR PROMOTION

Remember I said yesterday, don't look for a promotion- look for a 10x (ten times) promotion. Why? Because people want what you have, and they are willing to pay anything to get it. But if you use the wisdom of God, you can maintain control over the resources that God has given you to bless the Body of Christ for the end times. So you shouldn't look for one promotion, you should look for the top of the rung. Don't let anybody tell you that you lack experience, and don't let anybody tell you that you lack wisdom.

And when they pull out the papers with the small print, and its written in a way that it ties you up, and its written in a way that it has gigantic loopholes for them, because they're 'smart'. But, they've got a problem. You got your feet 'on it'. And this is one thing you NEVER do: when someone is trying to make a deal with you, you NEVER sign the first time you talk to them. You never sign the first time they talk to you, because they are acting like your best friend, they've got something that nobody else wants to give you. Don't let your mouth drop open and be like "You want to give me what?!? Well, if they want to give you "what!?" I'll guarantee that there are ten behind them that want to give you "what!?!" bigger! So just wait. Hold your peace. I told you don't sell in the first two years. I said, the decisions you make in the next two years are going to determine how much blessing is going to come to your family. The Lord showed me this one thing, and I know that I am ministering different than how I usually minister when I come up here, but God just gave me this word for you and I gotta just drop it off.

NATIVE CORPORATIONS

The Lord showed me this, that there are some people-and the Lord showed me this: not everyone that the mammon mongers are going to be dealing with are native. But there are some Native Corporations that are very astute and they are very sharp, and then there are some that aren't. This is what the Lord showed me and told me to warn you about. The smart native corporations can help the other native corporations. When they make you an offer-which they are going to do-I don't know exactly how this works, but I know by the Spirit what the Lord showed me is that there's a lot of people in that corporation somehow that don't really know what’s going on but they benefit from the corporation. I'm telling you, I've not studied this, I just got this by the Holy Ghost. Now, there’s people who aren't really in 'the know' but they kind of benefit from it. Well, the devil is sneaky, he's gonna try to go to the people that benefit from it, but they aren't in the know, and try to get them to pressure the people who are in the know.

What the Lord told me to warn you about is, if that pressure comes, then break them down, find out where it came from, trace the root of it, and don't be pressured by people who are not 'in the know', when the people who are 'in the know' are running that corporation. This seems like I am preaching business-its not normal for me. This isn't usually my role. God knows. Okay, Promotion- The horses represent promotion. He showed me 3 horses, and here in Genesis 41:40, pharaoh says: "Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou."

Okay, this is what God is wanting to get across to you tonight, is that as your promotions come, don't be amazed that there will be people around you that you will have authority over because of your promotion that know more than you. But they've got to put up with you! Don't be shaken! Hit your prayer closet! Do you hear what I am saying? Be BOLD! Pray like the early church prayed! Let the power of God come on you, so you speak in the wisdom of God. Don't do anything quickly, be quick to hear, slow to move.

ENLARGE YOUR CAPACITY

I Kings 11:28 "And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor: and Solomon seeing the young man" (look at this!) that he was industrious..." (if you are a hard worker)

Now Jeroboam was a man of standing, and when Solomon saw how well the man did, his work, he put him-look guys, we see it over and over and over and over-you are not going to get a mini promotion! He put him in charge of the whole labor force! I am verifying to you the way God promotes! I am trying, in the prophetic, to enlarge your capacity to understand that there are even situations that you don't know you are connected to, that you are going to find out you are connected to! Its like an inheritance, that you didn't know you had a great uncle, that all of a sudden that letters going to show up at your door and you're going to find out "Oh my goodness! I'm connected to this!" There is all kinds of that going on! I know it in the Holy Ghost! I'm getting excited about the way God promotes! He puts him in charge of the whole labor force! Glory to God!

When the horses come I'm not going to be taken off guard, I'm going to go, "Oh! Thats a horse! That’s a horse of Prosperity!" When they walk in, trying to make themselves look like you, rolled up their sleeves, bought some hunting boots, check the bottoms of them, they are probably brand new. Smell their coat, because they probably picked it up on the internet on their way up! They're gonna be coming in trying to be looking like you, trying to act like you, they're going to hang out and shmooze and do whatever they can do to get in to take what God had put in YOUR hands for the last day. But, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT!

Esther 6:11 "Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour." The king delighted to honor you!

I am answering some questions that have been going back 25 years for some of you. The Bible said don't be weary in well doing because in due season you shall reap. How did Alaska become part of God's prophetic plan to become the obstacle to stop the Antichrist from manifesting in the planet to give us more time for global revival? Because, God CHOSE IT. God chose you. I hope I'm proving it to you tonight.

Daniel 2:48, "Then the king made Daniel a great man."

Do you notice that you're seeing these people who are not Godly-you're seeing the people who don't know our God promoting people who know God...Putting then in positions over their kingdoms, over their businesses, and they don't know God! Now, why is that happening? God Chose.

Daniel 2:48 "Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and the chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon."

Do you know who the wise men were? Those were the astrologers, those were the magicians, those were the people that practiced astrology and witchcraft! A heathen king made a Godly man the ruler. People are saying, " I know there's a great transference of wealth happening, but how is it going to happen?" I'm telling you! God's got your feet on the ground and then He's going to put you in charge. And He's going to give you the wisdom-not only to be in charge, to run things industrially, and do a good job but also to say, "I did not get myself this wealth!"- Deuteronomy 28 says He giveth thee the power to get wealth! and when God gives you the power to get wealth then God is not going to have a problem when He asks you to transfer it to supporting the gospel! Because you're not going to care-you're going to be driving your black hummer, your going to have your surround sound system, you're going to have your flat screen television-you're going to have all the things you want. Your children are going to have the carpet they want in their room and they are going to have the beds they want!

But, you are going to be thanking God! Saying, "I remember, I remember!! I remember when the prophet came and she told me to keep my feet on it, and use wisdom because the horses are coming!" I'm not talking about the red horse of war, or the black horse of famine, or the pale horse of death and hell. Its NOT TIME FOR THEM BECAUSE GOD HAS CHOSEN ALASKA TO BE THE OBSTACLE! God has chosen Alaska to be the obstacle, and God has chosen Alaska to receive the transference of wealth. My God! Hallelujah!

Promotion: the God way. The horses represent promotion. Especially three beautiful white horses. Now, I heard that theological comment, "But the Antichrist comes riding in on a white horse in Revelation.." Yeah, but he comes followed by the red horse, the black horse and the pale horse. Daniel 3:30 "Then the king -here we go again, is this a king that worshipped Jehovah? No- promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon."

See, when you see that, immediately you think of the fire. They were promoted in a place where they were supposed to be slaves. Do you understand the point I'm trying to get to? The ungodly will promote you if you've got something they want. But you've got to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves.

Daniel 5:29 "Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom."

Have you ever really thought about the fact that it doesn't matter what kind of government you live in it doesn't matter what kind of empire you live in that God Almighty- that God can promote you if He chooses. But everybody that was promoted had the wisdom of God, every body that was promoted never gave up their testimony.

Daniel 6:2 "And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage."

Daniel, who was supposed to be a slave, dealt with ungodly people. When the horses come, they will be accompanied with ungodly people! The ungodly people will only care about one thing- money! why would Nebuchadnezzar promote someone who worshiped Jehovah?!? Because, he was GOOD AT WHAT HE DID. He had an excellent spirit on him. He was industrious, never gave up his testimony. God is going to take His Church, and put us in a showcase pavilion, so that the world can look upon Zion and say, "That is the Church of the Living God!" And millions upon millions and millions of people will come to know Jesus Christ before the Rapture. That is what the Bible is all about, and that is what we're pursuing.

Haggai 2:5 "According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and (LOOK AT THIS, ALASKANS!) the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;"

Why doesn't it say 'I'm going to shake the banks, the vaults of the empires' ? Because, REAL WEALTH IS NOT IN PAPERS. Real wealth is not in digital form. Real wealth is LAND.

Remember what I talked about last night, why God loves Alaskans-because they love His creations.

God created the Earth. Man created the idols. God's resources are in the planet. He's got hidden resources that He has hidden away for this last day revival. They're hidden, and believe it or not, no matter what’s going on, God is having His Way! But God will have His way in a greater format, in a greater blessing, in a greater light if you will listen to these prophetic words from last night, if you have an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying.

He's going to shake the heavens, He's going to shake the earth, He's going to shake the sea, He's going to shake the dry land. What is in your land? Everything! Oil, minerals, gold, copper, diamonds...Come on! HE'S GOING TO SHAKE THE LAND! Why is He going to shake the land? BECAUSE HE'S GOT STUFF IN IT! But He has got to put stewards over it who love HIM, and who love His land.

GLORY IS A SUBSTANCE

Haggai 2:7 "And I will shake all nations,(Europe is being shaken right now. I just got back from Europe. China and Asia are being shaken right now. Russia is being shaken right now. The Middle East is quaking right now! They are being shook up and all of their eyes are on YOU!) and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts."

Now, 'glory' is substance. Glory is not only the Shekinah- the amazing, wonderful presence of God. Glory represents God's STUFF. What does the world care about? Stuff! 'He with the most toys wins'. They have bumper stickers! Whereas, as Christians, they say, "Oh I don't care about stuff-I'm living here temporarily." I'm not saying to be caring about stuff, I'm just saying God chose Alaska, and you're here and I'm just giving you a prophetic word. The time is NOW, and if you are looking 20 years down the line, you are missing the clock.

God chooses the foolish things to confound the wise. I mean, God sent me up here-He could have sent a big male prophet...but NO, He had to send a little girl prophet.

Haggai 2:8 "The silver is mine,(that means that some of those silver mines that have been laying on the land dormant, God says 'I OWN THAT' and if your feet are on that, and I own you, then I own that. Christ is the Wisdom of God-He'll give you wisdom on how to deal with it. Don't let the devil swindle you out of your inheritance.) and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts."

Then in verse 9: "The glory of this latter house(the end times) shall be greater than of the former (God here is not just talking about the greatness- He's talking about Solomon's Temple with the Queen of Sheba. The Ethiopians are very proud of the fact that the Queen of Sheba brought an offering to Solomon...but Solomon's Temple was the most splenderous glory-filled, amazing temple that has ever existed on the planet! Nothing any where near it! And we are saying that the glory that God's talking about is a 'cloud'...no. There are some people who are hooked on mammon-they don't care about your 'cloud'. The only way to get them is to get them where they care. The only way to defeat the devil is to defeat his power, and his power is money. The way you defeat it is you let God shake it into your hands, and you use it for God.), saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts."

Hallelujah! PLEASE! Listen to me, if you are listening to the news, and you are getting bummed out and you are getting fearful, shut it off! Get in touch with the Holy Ghost! I'm not saying you can't put it on once a week to keep up with what’s going on. If you are reading the news papers and you are getting depressed, shut them down!

ALASKA, BE ENCOURAGED!

God's got horses coming your way, and you can't be depressed when they are coming our way! You've got to be on your mark, you gotta be on your point-you gotta be prayed up! You gotta be ready! This Word is a word of preparation! Get ready, get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready! Its not a word about money-its a word about the Church in the last days! We can't be selfish, we've got to be unselfish! We've got to allow God to bless us so that the world will pull on our coat tail and say "take me to the House of the Living God!" We've got to allow God to bless us! We can't be selfish and say "well I can just get along with this little bit or that." And I'm not telling you to go after money. I'm talking to people who've already got their feet on it. Or I'm talking to people who are somehow gonna have their feet on it in the next several years, or to people who are on the outskirts of it, but they are someway connected to it. They can get in on it now. Don't take it lightly.

Note: This word was not released until April 19th, 2009. The day we released it, Anchorage experienced a 5.0 earthquake, which is very interesting being Dr. Robin mentions many times in this word that “God is going to shake Alaska”.

A Greater Revival than Azusa Street: 2009

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 05:04:00 +0000

I just learned that in about 1909, both William Seymour and Charles Parham prophesied that in about 100 years the Shekinah Glory would return and ignite a revival to surpass the Azusa revival.

Described in: Welchel, Tommy, They Told Me Their Stories Chapter "A Different Claim to Fame" and "Crossing Racial Barriers."

There's very little documentation of that prophetic word, but quite a few references to it. Here is one from Sid Roth. See page 3 of this document.

Sid: Now William Seymour prophesied about the next revival that will come, tell me about that.
Tommy: He prophesied that in about a hundred years, he did this in 1909, that there would be a…
Sid: So about a hundred years would be 2009?
Tommy: Yes, that would be about, before or after?
Sid: About, okay.
Tommy: He said another revival like unto Azusa Street only greater would come again, only this time it wouldn't be in one place, it would be all over the world.

Revival in America: I see the Glory Cloud Coming.

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:24:00 +0000

Revival In America

I see the Glory Cloud coming to small town America. Not the great big ministries but the smaller ones who are pleading for a touch from God. I see a grass roots revival from small churches everywhere - starting in the North West and spreading all over. Holy Spirit led revival \o/

I see the Glory Cloud descending in your meetings and not one person is still standing. As with the priests when Solomon dedicated the temple, they could not stand in the Presence of the Lord.

1 Kings 8:10-11 " When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD. And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled his temple. "

Amos 8:11"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.”

These days are here right now and the Lord is listening for the fervent prayers of a righteous man.

James 5:16 “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”

Then He will listen to your prayers, He will hear when you call upon Him; and He will heal your land.

2 Chronicles 7:13-15 "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.”

Listen – Do you hear the sound of rain approaching?

Look - Do you see a cloud the size of a man’s hand? Look SEVEN times.

I see a very dry place where the wind suddenly starts to blow. Very little at first, but it builds and builds until it’s a storm force wind bringing the fresh rain of revival – not as a spring shower but as a mighty torrent. And with revival is coming the very presence of the Lord God Almighty and no man shall stand in that presence. You shall not cry out for healing – it will just happen. You shall not pray for the unsaved – they shall walk in off the street – convicted of their sin before they know what is happening. You shall not ask for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit – it will happen to anyone and everyone.

Joel 2:28-32The Day of the LORD"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; “

So – Are you ready. The Lord God Almighty is ready to start right now.

He is coming – He is coming – He is coming.

Get ready – Be ready. He will not wait for you but He will find those who are ready; who are prepared for His coming; who are desperate for a touch from His Holy Spirit.

Flood from Canada

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:09:00 +0000

Flood from Canada
Prophetic Experience on June 14, 2002

On Friday, June 14, 2002 I was attending a conference on legal issues between the Tribal Courts and Washington State Courts. I was representing a Washington county at the conference. During one of the breaks I took a walk to talk to the Holy Ghost. I had a distinct and overwhelming experience with Him. He showed me a map of the State of Washington with a flood of something like water flowing out of B.C. Canada through central Washington and on into Oregon. I could not tell exactly where in British Columbia it originated, and I could not tell where it flowed into Oregon. Although it was flowing through the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland) area of Washington on its way to Oregon . He made me to know that the reason the flood was flowing through central Washington, and not the west side of the Cascade Range (where most of Washington's population lives). The reason was two fold. 1) The churches (not the believers [Christians]) rejected His moving and were not willing to cooperate with what He has planned. 2) The believers [Christians] (not the churches) in central Washington were open, hungry and willing to follow HIS leading without question or counting the cost. (note: I live on the west side of the Cascades).

The believers in Central Washington are open, hungry and willing to follow HIS leading.

He then made me to know that He had planned for this flood to flow through the west side, but because of stubbornness He could not move there if He wanted. He then showed me that the central region of Washington is a natural terrain for water flow from Canada south. That it is also an ancient pathway of peoples throughout history. I felt very impressed that He plans to use the Native American Indians in the flood somehow.

Later I looked at a map of the Pacific Northwest. I was drawn to the highway number 97 as the modern highway that follows the path of this flood I was shown. I felt that this general route and the communities near it would be used to carry this "flood" that the Holy Ghost showed me. I looked in my book "Interpreting the Symbols and Types" written by Kevin J. Conner and found the numbers 9 and 7. nine = Number of finality, fullness, fruitfulness. Number of the Holy Spirit. Number of fruit of the womb. seven = Number of perfection, and completeness. Number of Book of Revelation.

Kelowna B.C. will somehow be significant in this flood

I looked into British Columbia, Canada and was impressed that many other communities to the north of the end of Highway 97 would be in this flood. One city in particular was Kelowna, B.C. I felt impressed that Kelowna would somehow be significant in this flood but, it would not be instrumental in this flood in ways that most believers would think. It is like the Holy Ghost has a plan and a people in Kelowna that will be unexpected and in the past have been rejected by the church.

===============

I felt that this flood was an empowering force of the Lord. What I saw were various ministries that God has developed in the last 10 years or so and set into place. These ministries have seen some success, but mostly the people are laboring for the Lord in faith, believing they were sent by God to do a specific work. Often these folks are misunderstood by traditional Christianity while others were out and out rejected by them.

This empowerment was intentionally withheld by God for some specific reasons The workers were still learning the basics of what God has called them to do. They were still learning humility. They were still learning brokenness. They were still learning total reliance and dependence on HIM.

I felt that these diverse ministries (such as healing, miracles, prophetic, apostolic, etc.) are now in a season of maturity and God is ready to release the POWER that accompanies the gifting.

I feel that the results of these empowered ministries will somehow remain mostly "hidden". I don't think they will end up on the popular Christian TV talk shows. (Because this goes against what they just learned in the previous season - humility).

I see these ministries walking in a love for the lost and hurting like we have seldom seen.

If you have any revelation on this prophetic experience, please write to me.

Blessings,

I Will Completely Annihilate Any Suggestion from Your Enemy that You Will Not Survive This Time

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:41:00 +0000

Kim Clement:

Prophesied on June 26, 2009 - Portland, Oregon:

"I Can Make You a King Before Your Enemies"

"Blow the trumpet in Zion! Blow the trumpet in Zion! Sound the alarm," says the Spirit of God. "For surely tonight in the midst of you, I have sent My word. I have sent My word to heal. I have sent My word to come and bring courage, for," God says, "many have lost their courage, but I have come to tell you that I am going to bring you courage and strength. For My word tonight will completely annihilate any suggestion from your enemy that you will not survive this time.

For God said, "Because of the spirit of resilience and because you have come before Me with joyful sounds, even as David came before Me with joyful shouts even in the midst of his pain, I heard him," says the Lord, "raised him up, made him the King of Judah and then the King of Jerusalem."

God said, "Can I make you a king before your enemies? Can I crown you before your enemies? Can I bring them down before you? Can I feed you and nourish you in the presence of your enemies?" For God says, "Enough of this swaying power, enough of the prognosticators that would tell you that your end has come." God said, "This is just the beginning. Courage be given unto you tonight, for I will sweep you up in one moment and take you to a place where you will have great victory," says the Lord. "This summer I will restore to you what the enemy has stolen away from you and give it back to you. Therefore shout and rejoice, for this is yours," says the Lord!

"Suddenly" Will Happen, Says the Spirit of God!

"Yes," the Spirit of God says, "prepare yourself, for the people have said, 'Where is He? Where is He? Where is the God of Moses? Where is the God of Elijah?' They have said, 'We have labored and we have plowed, and yet we have seen nothing,'" but God said, "You weren't looking, because I cast a mantle on you. I have cast a mantle on you so that you could get out of your field, so that you could kiss your mother and your father goodbye in that field, and move to a higher place," God said.

"You've said, 'Lord, what am I going to do? It seems like nothing's working out for me.'" And God said, "Have you forgotten the word 'suddenly'? Have you forgotten 'suddenly'? Do you realize that I work by 'suddenlies'? Suddenly the Spirit was there, suddenly the angel was there." God said, "During the summer months there will be 'suddenly' things that will begin to happen. Suddenly I will appear. Suddenly things will change. Suddenly the door will open. Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly will happen," says the Spirit of God!

Prophesied on June 27, 2009 - Portland, Oregon:

"As You Shout I Will Shout with You!"

The Spirit of the Lord says, "There is a key that has been given to My people. There is a key that has been given to My people. It is the key of David. A dimension of praise is going to enter into the house of God, into the courtyards of the Lord. A new dimension of praise is going to come collectively as the people gather together, and proclamations will draw angelic visitations. Proclamations of God's greatness will cause and draw and invite angelic visitations. Do not say this is not the day of the angel. Do not say that God cannot do it.

For God says, "As you shout I will shout with you, as you sing I will sing with you. As you rejoice I will rejoice with you." God says, "I rejoice over you with joy. Do you want Me to come amongst you and rejoice with you," says the Lord? "I will rejoice over you as you rejoice over Me." God says, "As you shout tonight, I'm shouting with you."

There will only be one voice, one sound, one trumpet, one shout—because that's what they did with Joshua. And when the sound of the one trumpet and the sound of the one shout took place, the walls came down. God wants to bring walls down for you.

I hear the sounds of the demonic strongholds endeavoring to shut them up. You cannot shut us up. Since when did you think that was even possible? You tried to shut up David, and he became a greater voice. You tried to get rid of the children of Israel. You tried to get rid of Moses—little bulrushes saved him. Who do you think you are to even endeavor to come and suggest in the presence of God that you will annihilate this race called the holy people? Who are you to say, "I will annihilate," demonic strongholds, this nation, this holy nation. Ha!

Who are you to say that you have come into the very presence of a peculiar people, a chosen generation? Who are you? God has arisen and His enemies are scattered. On this nation, let the enemies that have risen up and held up their swords in glee be brought to shame and nothing, says the prophet of the Most Holy God. These are not people that have come dressed in robes and flattering religion garments. These have come with their hands open wide with the sounds of praise.

The Spirit of God says, "There are enemies that are being brought down by the sounds of a praise that have not been heard plentiful, in its plenty, for it has been stingy. But they are not afraid to behave in a manner that seems uncultured. But when was it that I came? It was when the people of God arose, and the enemies scattered."

Tonight throughout this nation I am sending a word. Beware of the sound that is about to be born in the earth. It will scatter the tribes of lucifer. It will scatter the tribes of the demonic strongholds that have endeavored to hold on for dear life, hoping that the Blood-washed people would shut their mouths.

You couldn't shut Daniel, you couldn't shut Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. You couldn't shut David. You couldn't shut Moses. You couldn't shut Gideon. You couldn't shut Ruth. You couldn't shut Esther. You couldn't shut Mary. How are you gonna do it now?

"They Shall Be Exposed Again"

The Holy Spirit says through the voice of the prophet tonight: "Beware, for the sheiks have made their move toward this nation, for those that have disguised themselves in the earlier days of 2000 have endeavored to do the same thing. But," God said, "believe it or not, My chosen generation, My holy people, because you have stood and you have shouted My praise throughout this nation, let Me assure you, they shall be exposed again. For they said, 'Under Obama's power we will be able to infiltrate.' They have said, 'Because of this President, Obama, we will be able to get into the borders and we will be able to infiltrate them.'" God said, "Not so soon, baby, not so soon! Why?

"Because," God said, "I told you long before I was the One that would take over the reigns of the Chief. And," God said, "I will harness the powers of Hell and they will be afraid, but they will come, and before they can reach their target," God says, "in the winter of this year there will be rejoicing again in America, in the Christmas season, because of what I will expose.

"And I will change things so drastically, that," God said, "even in the highest places there will be exposure. But I will bring you to a place, America, of great, great victory. And even economic upheaval will change through the summer months and I will give you back what your enemy tried to steal away from you." Rejoice, for this is your day of victory," says the Lord!

Change in the Year 2010

The Spirit of God said, "Hear before you sit in your seat." For God said, "The enemies are the scornful of this nation sitting in Senatorial committees and they are deciding things that everyone is afraid of." God said, "Who put them in charge? Since when did somebody die and put them in charge?" You say, "But they will bring legislation." God said, "Who said that? You watch how I will change things in the year 2010. Even your President will bow his knee in a very special way and say, 'We've got to do something. We've got ourselves into a mess now. There's only one Person that can get us out of it—it's the Lord God Most High.'" And so it shall be!

They say to themselves, "Let's go to the windy city. Maybe we'll leave New York and L. A. and we'll go to Chicago." God said, "They will be exposed in that place, because of the wind that shall blow in a very, very powerful way. The wind shall be a sign and it shall blow across three to four different states and they shall say, 'This is the most unusual wind that has ever taken place in the history of our nation.'

But God said, "It is a wind that will be welcoming, the wind of the Holy Spirit that shall come upon this nation. Churches that have died and tried shall come alive," says the Spirit of God. Empty buildings will be filled with rejoicing people. And the warriors of God that have risen that have been down and out, I will bring them back to life," says the Lord.

"I will take you into the White House. I will take you into every house that is controlled and monopolized in this nation, and I will fill the houses with great sounds of rejoicing! This is the day when I am unlocking the seals so that you can receive the blessing of God. Get ready for the wind of the Spirit. It shall blow," says the Lord!

Let us thank Him for His Word, for His Word is yes and amen. Holy Spirit, I pray that you would breathe upon everyone watching all across this nation and the nations of the earth; they are watching the United States of America. "What shall happen to them, shall they go down?" Demons have whispered into the ears of national leaders, statesmen, "We shall take our hands and we shall remove from them the glory that they had." God said, "This is impossible, for I have too much of the soil and territory in My hands." There has been a whispering amongst the nations and the statesmen of the earth: "The downfall of this nation, shall we see it?"

"I Shall Be Your Defense"

"It shall be a horrific thing that shall transpire. It shall happen even when the sun started shining and blazing, that North Korea shall say, 'Let us take a chance.'" The Spirit of God said, "But it is too late. For you see, America, you have brought about the possibility of this attack, but I have already formed again the downfall of Kim. It shall not have to be the United States that fights. It shall be inside. They shall remove father and son." And the Spirit of God said, "I told you there shall be a united Korea! And let My words go down and be engraved in the hearts of My people.

"This nation has suffered enough. And I shall be your defense and take you on a rocket and launch you to the highest place spiritually than you've ever been before in the history of every revival; this shall be the greatest ever. I am opening up the Heaven over Washington D.C. It has been those that have worked and labored and fought and prayed, and they have stood the test of time. I am opening up the Heavens over Washington D.C. so that I can pour rain, and there will be one transfusion after the other. They shall go from 'O Positive' to 'JC Positive.' They shall go from 'A Negative' to 'JC Positive.' I shall change their blood. I will cause even the great Senators and leaders of this nation, so they shall suddenly come alive."

Debt-Free

And God said, "There will be a change within the expression in this country. Get ready, for you will have the celebration of a lifetime, because," God said, "I'm about to bring you back to your current state and make you debt-free by the year 2010. It shall be the beginning of you being debt-free," says the Lord!

WORD FOR SAN FRANCISCO AND LOS ANGELES

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:30:00 +0000

THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY

THE SHAKING – THE JUDGEMENT IS COMING
FIRE AND WATER - SAN FRANCISCO AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
IDOLATRY - THE GOLDEN GATE FALLS – LOS ANGELES – REVIVAL FIRE

Dear Friends

I was awoken in the early hours of the morning to hear the words ringing out -' THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY' – As I currently live in the UK and am not at all familiar with the West Coast I did not know even know what The Bay meant other than that I knew the Lord was saying CALIFORNIA - but once again I sensed a strong red alert for San Francisco.

It was only a day LATER that I discovered that the Bay area covers San Francisco. I knew the Lord was trying to get my attention.

Words of judgement are often not well received and I have held back on this word for several weeks to weigh it intensely, but under the fear of the Lord I feel I must deliver it now so that those with a burden for the West coast can pray, so that many, many will come to repentance in this present hour and also that God's faithful servants will know his supernatural protection in the times to come. This is what I saw.

THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY - ANGELS OF JUDGMENT CARRYING GOLDEN SCYTHES

I saw two huge Angels of Judgement carrying what seemed to be huge golden threshing instruments that looked like scythes. They were crying out in loud voices:

‘THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY’ and again they cried out - 'THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY THE BAY.'

I did not know what that meant except that I knew that it was CALIFORNIA and I had the same dread for San Francisco that I had experienced before when I had received the ‘West Coast’ Prophecy.

And I saw a mighty shaking and trembling begin under the earth

And the Lord said – 'From under the Pacific it shall come – in Fire and in water – it shall come.'

It was hardly noticeable at first but it was as though the whole city froze as one and then the shaking and the terror and THEN THE FIRE CAME

I saw a horrifying inferno -- A literal inferno.

I saw ravaged land - ravaged, ravaged cities.

But one city received the full force of this terror and earthquake and this is what the warning was crying out ‘THE BAY – THE BAY’

And I saw the heavens were black – blacker than black and there was no light – all light was extinguished.

And the smoke continued to rise and thousands upon thousands of this city were killed at the first strike

But I saw a second strike.

A second strike

And I saw water - water devastating parts of the West Coast – to the NORTH – THE NORTH – beware the NORTH – THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIAN COASTLINE

I still saw plumes of smoke rising from charred buildings.

There was not just one city affected. It was more than one - on the Northern California Coast.

People were bleeding and dying.

The emergency services were hindered greatly from reaching The Bay in good time – they were prepared but no one could prepare for this and the suffering was intense.

I heard many cursing God – even in their suffering instead of crying out for mercy they were cursing God

But I also heard those crying out in desperation for His mercy and the Angel of the Lord spoke the Word of the Lord

And I heard him say ‘And these ones I shall by no means cast out.'

EMPTY CISTERNS – EMPTY CISTERNS – SCALES OF JUDGEMENT FULL

And the moon turned a strange colour of crimson.

And the haze hung over the bay for many days and nights.

And the city was silent.

Thousands of people were left crushed - drowned.

I felt this was further up the coast than Los Angeles – more to the North, though Los Angeles was shaken it was not as devastating as The BAY the Lord was talking about.

EMPTY CISTERNS I saw written in the sky EMPTY CISTERNS above San Francisco – and the scales – the scales of sin and judgement were full – so full that judgement could not be withheld over San Francisco.

LOS ANGELES – A SPIRITUAL FLAME –ANGELS ON THE WIND – REVIVAL BREAKS FORTH

And then I saw Los Angeles – and it seemed a different scenario – and I knew that the Lord held in great esteem and looked down with a great and enduring compassion on His servants - His prophets –His intercessors - His servants who had stood in the gap for Los Angeles.

And I saw many intercessors who had stood in the gap day and night for Los Angeles and California and I wondered if these faithful servants of God were the reason that in the former vision I only saw a partial devastation of Los Angeles – great swathes of Los Angeles were PROTECTED.

But San Francisco and along the northern coast seemed to receive the full brunt of the ferocious shaking.

There was a great scale in the sky and I saw one side of the scale weighed right down with sin and iniquity.

I still remember being shocked because I still heard many in San Francisco still cursing God - and I knew that was a reflection of how sin and rebellion against the most high God had blackened the hearts of men in this city.

LOS ANGELES

And I was taken back to Los Angeles.

And I saw a spiritual flame burning from Los Angeles and the Southern Coastline of California.

And I saw Angels on the wind over Los Angeles with a banner REVIVAL BREAKS FORTH

And a connection with LAKELAND – this seemed to be happening in a second timeline that was not the same timeline as the former vision but was more in the present season.

But it made me wonder if this calamitous event was not coming quicker than we knew or thought.

PART TWO

SAN FRANCISCO – GOLDEN GATE
ALTAR OF HARLOTS AND IDOLATERS – BAAL - IDOLATRY

But then I was led back to San Francisco and the great devastation ahead in the future –

And I saw a sign in the sky that read THE GOLDEN GATE – ALTAR OF HARLOTS AND IDOLATERS – And I saw the words BAAL and IDOLATRY – LASCIVIOUSNESS – LUST – SODOM AND GOMORRA

And I saw the face of the Angels of Judgement were set fiercely against this city and the word of the Lord came forth saying – ‘For I have set my face against this land – and even in a moment I shall smite it' – and I saw the fall of the Golden Gate - cut in two and how the mighty were brought to the ground even in a moment. And I saw above the Golden gate bridge written IDOLATRY.

And I saw the city of San Francisco a devastation – blackened and even to the coastline to the North of San Francisco –

‘CRY OUT, CRY OUT!’ cried the Angels of the Lord –‘CRY OUT, CRY OUT to the Most High God for surely your idols have fallen – every one – and no more shall they rise.’

RAINBOW RISING FROM THE STRETCHES OF NORTH CALIFORNIA OVER SAN FRANCISCO TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA – I SHALL ESTABLISH IN THIS PLACE MY GOLDEN GATE

And then I saw a rainbow – the most glorious sight – it rose from the stretches of Northern California and over the devastated city of San Francisco and then over to Southern California and it blazed with every colour as bright as the sun and out of the radiance I saw a GOLDEN GATE – it seemed so huge and so glorious it looked as the gates of heaven – and I heard the Lord say – 'And now I shall establish in this place MY GOLDEN GATE –

A gate of repentance –

A gate of revival –

A gate of cleansing –

A gate of Holiness'.

And I saw a remnant in that charred city come out from under the angel's robes – and over their heads was written FAITHFUL and TRUE –and The Lord said 'These are those who stood for me in this city of San Francisco-

These are those who have wept and pleaded and interceded for this city day and night without ceasing. These are those who were My gate keepers of this city – who heralded in revival – and poured out My Spirit even in the face of great opposition and persecution – these are those who are greatly BELOVED by me.'

And I saw that the Lord Himself had placed them under the angel's mantle and that these faithful pastors and apostles, these intercessors and prophets had been divinely protected by the Lord's own hand from this harm and I saw the Father's hand pick them up and set them on high with heaven's Golden Gate – as His chosen gatekeepers for the new move of His spirit that would sweep through the Northern parts and coastline of California.

And I heard the Lord say 'REDDING - REDDING ' – and I saw a vast thick elixir like golden river flowing from REDDING to San Francisco - San Jose and on to Los Angeles – and these forks in the river were all connected.

LOS ANGELES – SEVENTEEN HUGE BLAZING LIGHTS
A SIGN READ - MORE TIME – REVIVAL FIRE
A GREAT GRACE SHALL ARISE FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Then the Lord directed me to look back to Los Angeles – and I saw Los Angeles shaken but by no means devastated or destroyed. And I saw as the rainbow encircled Los Angeles great swathes of light beaming up into the night skies – these were blazing beams of light almost as from monstrous searchlights. And there were thousands of them – some were very small like pinpricks but others were so huge and filled the night sky.

And the Lord said – 'This is the reason My hand has been stayed for yet a season for Los Angeles. For these are My servants – HOLY and TRUE. '

And once again – it seemed I was taken back to a second timeline more in this present and coming season before the devastation that was to come

And I saw thousands of the tiniest of lights were small groups of intercessors meeting in their homes – one on one – in small groups – piercing the heavenlies, then the brighter lights were fellowships' of churches all across Los Angeles and California – but there were seventeen of the strongest monstrous searchlights – I saw around five in Los Angeles itself, the rest were across Northern and Southern California – and the Angels' of the Lord cried ‘HOLY HOLY ARE YOU LORD – HOLY IS THE LAMB.’

And I sensed that these were the blazing lights of those who had followed the Lamb wherever He went with great sacrifice to their own lives and their own agendas – and it was because of these ones that the Judgement over Los Angeles would be stayed and I saw a sign that read –

MORE TIME - REVIVAL FIRE – And I sensed a GREAT SHIFT IN THE SPIRIT CENTERING ON LOS ANGELES AND CALIFORNIA – THIS WAS HAPPENING NOW IN THIS PRESENT SEASON – I sensed the Lord was IN THIS PRESENT SEASON about to turn His FOCUS and INTIMATE ATTENTION on Los Angeles and California – and it was a BLAZING FOCUS – I felt the Fathers eyes were as hot coals blazing with His Mercy, His Judgement yet with His infinite grace upon the West coast and especially Los Angeles – that He had been deeply stirred by the cries of His people.

AND I SAW ANOTHER SIGN THAT READ – REVIVAL FIRES IN THE WEST and I saw the streams from Redding join with several of the streams in Los Angeles.

And a fiery molten stream from LAKELAND. This stream was literally so intense – hissing and burning with the fire's of the Ancient of Days - it was blazing red hot coals everywhere it passed. And then I saw different streams emanating from some of these light bearers and I saw molten silver river flow and a molten ruby fire river flow from another and from another flowed a river of diamond like molten fire. And I realised that where the Lamb was worshipped and adored, the Lord was about to JOIN some streams together and it was out of this that California's revival fire would come.

And I saw the words – A GREAT GRACE – A GREAT GRACE – and the Lord said - 'A GREAT GRACE SHALL ARISE FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THAT SHALL IMPACT THE NORTH EVEN TO THE STATE OF WASHINGTON – EVEN TO SEATTLE,' SAYS THE LORD – 'AND TO VANCOUVER IT SHALL BLAZE

THE PACIFIC – KOREA – SINGAPORE – I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU

and the Pacific – the Pacific' says the Lord – 'across the Pacific these fires will go – ASIA.' And I saw CHINA and JAPAN and KOREA lit by streams of these molten rivers from Los Angeles – and I saw a molten river from CHINA – a different river - the river from China was the only river that had live jumping fish swimming upstream – and I seemed to sense the fish represented a huge catch of souls – that evangelists from China had some part in evangelism of the West Coast –and this river was flowing back to the West Coast also - even a great outpouring on the Chinese communities in California ahead - and South Korea but also the North – North Korea – 'And SINGAPORE', says the lord – 'Singapore – you have worshipped mammon – you have worshipped that which has been built with bricks and mortar –that which has been by your own hand and you have turned away and have forgotten me – but I am coming to SINGAPORE – even in a moment – and even as the stocks and the shares of the east shall shake and stand in the balance – so Singapore I shall yet show you my love for you – for I have commissioned you to proclaim my gospel even to the far reaches of the East – even to Mongolia your evangelists will go,’ says the Lord – 'To Malaysia, Indonesia and far beyond –for I have not forgotten you, Singapore - and you shall yet see the King in his beauty even in your land.’

The Five Angels and Five Highways of Revival

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:53:00 +0000

The Five Angels

While ministering in San Diego recently, the Lord revealed to me five angels that have been released in North America to bring revival fires to key cities. These five angels will be moving along five key highways that crisscross the United States. These highways will be known as Revival Highways.

Bob Jones had a visitation several years ago from an angel named Breakthrough Revival. This angel had 11 other resurrection angels with him and he told Bob he had been sent to the States to prepare America for the greatest revival she had ever seen. This angel told Bob that he had previously been assigned to a man by the name of Benson Idahosa from Nigeria, but he had now come to the States. This angel said that stadiums would not be able to hold the masses of people and they would have to go to the open fields. The angel said to Bob, "Tell the people three words, 'MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!' We'll be moving with those that move in the things of God."

The angels of God are looking for the sons and daughters of the Kingdom to start decreeing and moving in faith. As we begin to speak as God's authority on the earth, all of Heaven will come to back our words. The angels are being released to facilitate the will of God on the earth.

The five angels that have been released are: Breakthrough Revival, Winds of Change, Healing Revival, Great Grace, and Wisdom. I've encountered each of these angels over the past few years in key meetings as we've ministered and brought a powerful release of revelation, miracles, signs, and wonders. Each time I've seen them, it's been in meetings located directly off of major interstates and intersections in North America. The five main revival highways are not exclusive in themselves as revival fires will burn all across the United States, but the places I've seen these angels move have been off of these key highways:

The 5 Highways of Revival

1. Interstate 5 runs along the West Coast from San Diego to

Canada

.
I saw major explosions of the glory of God and revival fires burning in San Diego, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton, Pasadena, and all throughout Los Angeles and the surrounding regions, and Stockton, Sacramento and Redding; into Medford, Grants Pass, Eugene, and Portland, Oregon; and into Vancouver and Seattle, Washington; and also Vancouver, B.C.

Last year while ministering in Grants Pass, Oregon, I saw the angel Winds of Change moving up and down I-5. This angel was the angel that sparked revival in Lakeland just a few months later.

I then saw Interstate 95 on the East Coast, running from Maine to Miami, pelted with fires of revival.
The cities that stood out were Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, Savannah, Richmond, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, and all throughout New York City; also New Haven, Connecticut and Providence, Rhode Island. I saw a massive fire in Boston on the cross roads of the east where 90 and 95 meet.

Last year I had a visitation from the Lord Himself in January as we were starting off the year at the Boston Cross Roads Glory conference. The Lord came to me during the worship service and handed me two stones—one red and the other green. He said to me, "Jeff, this nation has seen the natural government established here in Boston, but now they are going to see My government established here in the States."

The Lord then said, "See, Jeff, My government is upon My shoulders."
The stones the Lord had given me were the Urim and the Thummim which were placed upon the shoulders of the High Priest. In the Old Testament, these stones would determine the precise will of God in every situation. Jesus is the Head and we are His Body and carry His government in the earth! Boston will burn with a fire so hot that they will come from the nations of the earth to behold the glory of God.

3. I saw Interstate 90/94 running from Boston to Seattle.
Along it I saw cities like Albany and Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo, New York. I saw Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio; and Chicago and Milwaukee, Madison and the Fox River Valley in Wisconsin; Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Fargo, North Dakota; I saw Billings, Montana; Spokane and Seattle, Washington—all burning with different levels and degrees of the glory of God.

4. I saw Interstate 10 running from Jacksonville, Florida, to Los Angeles, California.
Along this revival highway I saw Tallahassee, Florida and Mobile, Alabama. Houston and San Antonio, Texas were burning with an intense heat. Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona to L.A. were all ablaze with glory fire. I believe many cities will have invitations to host the presence and the spirit of revival, but only some will receive.

5. Lastly, I saw Interstate 40 running through the middle of the

United States

.
Bob Jones had seen a similar vision last year and called it the "40 Revival Highway." In this vision, I saw a similar thing with key regions overrun with angelic activity and explosions of the power and glory of God.

Starting on the East Coast I saw Raleigh, Greensboro and Asheville, North Carolina, engulfed in flames. Knoxville and Nashville were some of the brightest revival flames burning on the map, as raw hunger would be the fuel that would feed these revivals. Memphis, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, and back to Los Angeles, were aflame.

The Lord also revealed to me other circuitry that would work within these revival highways and spark new life into regions as Heaven invaded in days to come. The Lord showed me what He called the "Topeka Triangle" that runs from Topeka, Kansas, to Houston, Texas; then up the I-10 through Phoenix to L.A.; and then back to Topeka forming a revival triangle. Topeka was key to the Azusa Street Revival.

His Glory Will Be Seen Upon You

We are in a season where the waves of revival are beginning to build again—this time it will spill upon whole, corporate bodies of Believers in key cities and regions. These miracle angels have been sent to America to fan the flames of revival and will respond to our faith and believing, as we gather together in expectation of the Lord. Our sense of wonder, expectation, and childlike faith will draw these miracle angels to our meetings with powerful demonstrations of the Kingdom of God. As we continue to provide the fuel of love and holy awe to the moving of God, the atmosphere will become electric—resulting in mass explosions of revival fires that will burn bright for the nations to see!

The Azusa Street revivalist, William J. Seymour, prophesied in 1909 that within 100 years there would be a release of the Shekinah Glory of God that would burn brighter than what took place during the Azusa Street Revival. During that revival there were incredible miracles that marveled the masses—like limbs growing out! God is preparing the Body of Christ to shine with this glory that the nations would see and come to the brightness of our rising! Isaiah 60 says that His glory will be seen upon you!

Are you ready to shine with His Glory? Get ready for suddenlies of God!

THE OREGON TERRITORY IS A "EPICENTER" OR PLACE WHERE THE "EPIC" WILL "ENTER"!

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 01:24:00 +0000

The Territory of Oregon was organized on August 14, 1848, by an act of Congress. It includes the present-day states of Idaho, Oregon and Washington, as well as parts of Montana. The Lord brought to my attention other significant historic moments in that same year of 1848. The year of 1848 was also a LEAP YEAR and as I discovered that historic fact I heard the Lord say,

"THE OREGON TERRITORY IS ABOUT TO LEAP FORWARD INTO ITS PREDESTINED POSITION FOR HARVEST AND REVIVAL. IT WILL TAKE ON GLOBAL PROPORTIONS' VERY QUICKLY AS MY PLAN FOR THEM UNFOLDS."

1848 was also known around the world as the, "Spring of Nations" or the "Year of Revolution". It was triggered by a series of political upheavals throughout Europe that spread around the world like fire which also ignited the French Revolution which consequently began also in 1848. I heard the Lord say that this would be a time of epic revolution and a time when our nation will SPRING FORWARD as it did in 1848 - 160 years ago. This is a year that will be a "Spring of Nations" or a "Year of Revolution" where current mindsets and processes will be transformed by springing forward and a spiritual revolution or radical change of thinking and believing occurs.

The "Year of Revolution" as it has been titled by historians was not only a volatile time but a violent one as well. Many countries and continents came under great pressure both naturally and spiritually as the earth "groaned" and there was a spiritual "quantum leap". This will not only be a time of great spiritual strides but also a time when the world will come under a degree of suffering as weather, economy and other political and natural landscapes suddenly change positioning entire nations for the will and plan of the Lord.

Two other significant events transpired around the world that forever changed these countries and deeply impacted the United States:
The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the Irish Potato Famine (1845-1849). Both of these events greatly impacted the United States. I heard the Lord say, "NOW THERE WILL BE A FULL CIRCLE AS I SEND BOTH BLESSINGS AND PROVISION TO THESE THREE NATIONS; MEXICO, AMERICA AND IRELAND. YOU WILL SEE A GREAT REAPING WHERE YOU HAVE SOWN."

The Oregon Territory is deeply connected to these world events as the epochs of history occurred and the Oregon Territory was birthed simultaneously. Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Montana are a EPI-CENTER or a place where EPIC is about to ENTER as it once again shapes world events by its prayers, intercession and outward acts of faith. I heard the Lord say, "WATCH AND SEE AS THIS IS CONFIRMED BY WATER, WIND AND FIRE IN THE NATURAL THROUGHOUT THIS REGION. A SERIES OF SUDDENLIES WILL MARK THIS REGION FOR MY PURPOSES."

EPIC breakthroughs financially will now ENTER as the Oregon Territory becomes a epicenter of His anointing and provision for world impact. The nations will become acutely a part of your heart as this year ends and 2009 begins. You will be strategically in position both spiritually and naturally to have optimum impact. Psalm 2:8 will be your springboard that will underwrite what I do in your heart and mind says the Lord. Favor both in Mexico and Ireland will streamline My will in you as a "great door of utterance" opens to you there as well as many other key nations of the world. EPIC IS ABOUT TO ENTER!

I Hear the Sound of Abundance

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 15:48:00 +0000

We are taking, just like the Day of Pentecost, when there was a sound of a mighty rushing wind. That sound must be released again. Why? To captivate the unbeliever, the agnostic, the atheist, the scientist, the economist, the socialist, the capitalist. God says, "It is time for Me to capture the attention. There is a sound," says the Spirit of God, "therefore receive it tonight. Open your mouth and pray and receive it."

We are capturing something. I am a prophet, I must capture something. This afternoon when I was praying I knew God was going to do what He did.

He told Ahab - Ahab was the king - and when the drought had come to an end, He said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of the abundance of rain." There was no evidence, no rain, but at the word of the prophet and acting on just one thing - the sound of abundance - Ahab went to eat and drink as if there were no famine, there were no drought.

There was no cloud in the sky, there was no evidence of rain, but Ahab went and acted because the prophet said, "Go and do what you would do in great prosperity. Eat and drink as if there was plenty of water and plenty of food." And Ahab went and he ate. And Elijah went and sat down and told his servant, "Go towards the sea." The servant came back and said, "There is nothing." But Elijah said, "I hear the sound of abundance."

There are literally thousands of people watching us on the Internet, joining us in this room: "What is the prophet saying?" The prophet is saying: I hear the sound of an abundance. Some of you are saying, "We have no evidence. The only evidence we have is the news media telling us there is a recession." God said, "Which kingdom is controlling you? Which kingdom is dictating to you? Which kingdom is telling you this?"

Ahab, go and eat, go and drink. The king, based on the prophet saying, "I hear the sound," acted and took action and began to act as if there was no famine. The servant went and looked twice, three times, four times, five times - not a trace of abundance, not a trace of rain. Sixth time, the end of his carnal journey.

We have come to the end of a carnal journey. We have come to the end of our season of war, we have come to the end of the season of drought. And yet you say, "How can this be? What they are telling us is contrary to what you tell us, prophet."

I Hear the Sound of Unusual Miracles

But God is not speaking to those who are deaf; He is speaking to those who have ears to hear what the Spirit has to say. I hear the sound of abundance, I hear the sound of the miraculous, and I hear the sound of unusual miracles. Don't harden your heart. Do not harden your heart and say, "This will not happen because it's been spoken before."

God said, "This is the season and this is the time." And God said, "What does the prophet hear?" The prophet hears the sound of miraculous, the sound of restoration, the sound of revival, the sound of unusual miracles, the sound of creative miracles, the sound of God-is-what-He-is! I hear the sound of abundance!

You are going to hear the word of the Lord in spite of what the enemy says. There's a lady lying in a hospital right now and she's to have major surgery and God is replacing her organs. Even though medical science will come in and make discoveries this year, and your soil will offer the greatest miracles, God is going to impact this world with the most unusual miracles that have ever taken place.

Lean Into the Wind

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:05:00 +0000

I spent one summer, many years ago, up in the Canadian Arctic. I never crossed the Arctic Circle, but I spent several weeks in an aluminum canoe quite close to that line. I learned some things during that season.

One thing I learned is that the wind in that territory really knows how to blow! During the few weeks of summer that far north, it’s not too awfully bad, but the rest of the year is known for strong and steady winds; we measured some at over 60 MPH. Those winds are relentless, they’re penetrating, and they’re merciless.

Out in the wilderness like that, one is tempted to try to find shelter from such a wind, but there is none. The tallest trees are measured in inches, not feet, and the highest mountain is a gentle slope to a 20’ summit. There is nowhere to hide from the wind.

There are only three ways to respond to the wind in those kinds of circumstances:

You can lean into the wind. It won’t be easy going, but you can put your head down, squint your eyes, and face into the wind. If you hope to have any control over your progress, this is the only way to get around If you’re living in a tent (like I was), then the only option is aim the front of the tent, the tent door, into the wind, and open the door (zipper) just a bit. The wind will blow into the tent, expanding it to twice its normal cubic capacity, and – if you have staked it down properly – it will lock it into its place on the landscape.

If you face the tent away from the wind or (heaven forbid) crosswise to the wind, prepare to get up in the middle of the night to gather what belongings you can find from across the landscape.

You can turn your back on the wind. With your back to the wind, you find yourself pushed wherever the wind is blowing towards, out of control, of the camp, and usually towards the nearest body of icy water. You can’t see any better with your back to the wind, and its icy tendrils find your sensitive skin just as quickly. The effort to protect yourself is wasted, and eventually, you have to turn around, face into the wind, and work your way back to where you started from.

There have been a number of prophetic words about winds coming into our lives: winds of change, refining winds, winds of revival. These winds of the Spirit are relentless, they’re penetrating, and they’re merciless.

We will be tempted to try to find shelter from such winds, but there is none. There is nowhere to hide from these winds. One word says, “Because of a lack of understanding some of My people will try to find shelter from the Wind, but in so doing, they shall miss My work.” If we hide from the wind, we miss what God is doing.

There are only two ways to deal with the winds in these kinds of circumstances:

We can lean into the wind. We can set our face like flint towards the wind that God is blowing at us, embrace the change, the refining, the revival as uncomfortable as it is. If we face into the wind, and open ourselves up to this thing that God is doing, we’ll find ourselves expanding in our capacity for what God is doing, inflated by the Spirit of God, and if we have anchored ourselves properly in Christ, we’ll be locked into our destiny by the very wind that we expected to destroy us.

If we work at cross purposes to these winds, we’ll find ourselves waking up at some point to find our work strewn across the landscape, running to gather what shards remain.

Or we can turn our back on the wind. If we face away from the wind, we will find ourselves pushed all over the place, out of control, and away from fellowship. We’ll be unable to see what is coming toward us or to see where we are being blown to, but it won’t be where we want to. Our efforts to dodge the work that God is doing will only serve to keep us in His processes longer in order to learn our lessons, and eventually, we’ll need to turn around, embrace the work He’s doing, and work our way back to where we started from.

What does this look like, leaning into the wind. It looks like embracing whatever God is doing in your life, in your community, and doing it without regard for personal cost. If He’s bringing winds of change, then we let go of the old ways – remembering the lessons we’ve learned there – and we embrace the new thing that God is doing (which is not the same as the latest trend in church growth techniques). If he’s bringing a season of refining, then it means that we embrace refining: we open ourselves for correction and conviction, knowing that some of what we hear will good and some will be false accusations. If He’s bringing revival, then we embrace revival, we look for any shred of the Spirit of God in the new and strange movement, and we ignore the odd noises, odd behaviors, odd theologies (excepting actual heresy, which we are very slow to judge) that the new movement exhibits.

Leaning into the wind means embracing what God is doing, whether it’s comfortable or not. It means ordering our lives so that we rely on the new and perhaps unusual thing that God is doing. It means not defending ourselves, our ministry, our beliefs, in the face of all that God is doing. It means that when we’re under the Spirit’s surgeon’s scalpel, that we look our surgeon in the face and ask Him to cut deep.

The alternative, turning our back to the wind, involves avoiding difficulty, avoiding inconvenience, avoiding discomfort. This lifestyle will end up blowing us all over the map, probably towards the nearest body of icewater.

The winds of God are on us now, winds of change, winds of refining, winds of revival. May we have the courage to lean into the wind.

Two Winds Coming to the Church

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:58:00 +0000

by David Minos

This word is neither from the Northwest (David Minos is from Australia) nor about it, but I believe that this 22-year-old word is speaking to us in this season. God is again speaking to His prophets about the winds. I believe these winds are beginning to come upon us; we would be wise to turn our face into the wind.

Update from a reader (Thanks Mike!) and he offers more detailed explanation of the source: "David Minor was (simply) a youth or associate pastor from Longview Wa. and that prophetic word was circulated humbly typed and then recopied and I got hold of it while working for KVSN (K Vision) radio circa 1987 or 1988."

The Spirit of God would say to you that the wind of the Holy Spirit is blowing through the land. The church however, is incapable of fully recognizing this wind. Just as your nation has given names to it’s hurricanes, so I have put My name on this wind. This wind shall be named “Holiness unto the Lord”.

Because of a lack of understanding, some of My people will try to find shelter from the wind, but in so doing, they shall miss My work. For this wind has been sent to blow through every institution that has been raised in My Name. In those institutions that have substituted their name for Mine, they shall fall by the impact of My wind. Those institutions shall fall like cardboard shacks in a gale. Ministries that have not walked in up-righteousness before Me shall be broken and fall.

This is My Wind.

For this reason, man will be tempted to brand this as a work of Satan, but do not be misled. This is My Wind. I cannot tolerate My church in its present form, nor will I tolerate it. Ministries and organizations will shake and fall in the face of this wind and even some will seek to hide from that wind. They shall not escape. It shall blow against your lives and all around you will appear crumbling and so it shall.

But never forget, this is MY WIND, says the Lord. With tornado force it will come and appear to leave devastation, but the word of the Lord comes and says, “Turn your face into the wind and let it blow, for only that which is not of Me shall be devastated.” You must see this as necessary.

A second wind.

Be not dismayed for after this, My wind shall blow again. Have you not read how My breath blew on the valley of dry bones? So it shall breathe on you. This wind will come in equal force as the first wind. This wind too will have a name. It shall be called “The Kingdom of God”.

It shall bring government and order. Along with that, it shall bring My power. The supernatural shall come in that wind. The world will laugh at you because of the devastation of the first wind, but they will laugh no more. For this wind will come with force and power that will produce the miraculous among My people and the fear of God shall fall on the nation. My people will be willing in the day of My power says the Lord. In the first wind that is upon you now, I shall blow out pride, lust, greed, competition and jealousy and you will feel devastated, but haven’t you read “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven?” So out of your poverty of spirit, I will establish My kingdom. Have you not read the kingdom of God is in the Holy Ghost? So by My spirit, My kingdom will be established and made manifest.

Know this also, there will be those who will seek to hide from this present wind and they will try to flow in the second wind. But again they will be blown away by it. Only those who have turned their faces into the present wind shall be allowed to be propelled by the second wind.

You have longed for revival and a return of the miraculous and the supernatural. You and your generation shall see it, but it shall only come by My process says the Lord. The church of this nation cannot contain My power in its present form. But as it turns to the wind of Holiness unto the Lord, it shall be purged and changed to contain my Glory. This is the judgment that has begun to the house of God, but it is not the end. When the second wind has come and brought in My harvest, then the end shall come.

The Remainder of 2009

Revolve to Resolve

By Pastor Vince Morales

During Spring, 2009, I began to hear the word “resolve.” As I prayed into this, I began to notice patterns in various people of unresolved issues resurfacing as an old cycle. I approached the Lord about 2008 having been a year for leaping forward. February and March 2008 were months for God’s people to leap forward into their seasons. Many were walking out of the season of the Lord and straggling behind. In 2008, the Lord presented a divine chairos moment for stragglers in the Body of Christ to leap forward and into the current season of God. Prophetic acts were made and scriptures declared in prayer gatherings in many church gatherings. By faith, God’s people took a leap forward. Seemingly, many brothers and sisters continued in frustration during the remainder of 2008 and well into 2009.

As the word “resolve” stirred in me, I connected the matter of “old cycles.” Many anointed prophets and teachers have taught and prophesied regarding “old cycles” and the need for those “old cycles” to be broken over the last couple of years. This is no new revelation in many apostolic and prophetic streams. The Lord began to tell me:

The advancement of My Kingdom hinges on the ambassadors I have placed in this world. I have equipped you, empowered you, commissioned you and anointed you with My authority and power. The idea of advancing My Kingdom is understood. The revelation of it is undiscovered and not understood by many in the realm of their own lives. Before My Kingdom can be advanced in the world, My Kingdom must be advanced in your own life. My Kingdom must advance in your minds. I will not shift their paradigms, I will not change your mind, My people must change their minds.

“Being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace...” (Ephesians 4:3). While this passage speaks to unity in the Body, its truth applies to the central core of each believer. Where there is no bond of peace, there is no unity of the Spirit. Where there is no unity of the Spirit, there is often a fractured condition of the believer. Thus, the believer has not resolved an issue or old cycle in their life. Their struggle around the same mountain or sins continues. This struggle continues to prevail simply because we have not done the first thing in Ephesians 4:3, “Being diligent to preserve…” the things stated, unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Jesus said the peacemakers are blessed in Matthew 5:9. It is easy for many “warrior” minded believers to conceive being a “peacemaker” in the world. That Jesus did not come into the world to bring peace, but a sword (Matthew 10:34). Understanding Jesus definition of “sword” is the Word of God is common knowledge in the Body of Christ. The Lord told me:

My Church is ready to take the sword to the world but fail to take the sword to their own flesh. My peace always follows my sword. My people would rather that peace precede My sword. I say, as surely as you take My sword to your flesh, to your old cycles, to your old habits, surely the peace I give will follow. The process of being a peacemaker will always involve the violence and confrontation of judging yourself. Resolve to bring your old cycles under the judgment of My sword through your repentance. Apply My sword and bring your flesh to a place of death. Sever your flesh from the throne of your life, that I may be the sole ruler in the throne of your life. I will not share the throne with any idol, nor with your old cycles that rule powerfully in your soul.

In Romans 12:18, Paul exhorts us, “if possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.” Many in the church understand the importance of being at peace with those around us. With family, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, etc. What is not always easily grasped is the need for God’s ambassadors, His representatives on this earth, His prophetic vessels, to be at peace with themselves. We include ourselves in “…being at peace with all men.” Many are not.

This is the place where many in the Body of Christ are continuously in a holding pattern. Understanding a holding pattern is easily understood when we think of an airline on a runway waiting for clearance to take off. Holding patterns are places where many believers find their greatest experiences of frustration. These “holding patterns” are not always the will of God, but are self-inflicted “holding patterns.” Rather than painfully judging one’s self, they push it off on “the Lord’s doing something in my life” or the “dealings of the Lord.” Since 2008, the timing for the next season may be now. We “revolve” or continuously circle around our mountains or “sins” and call it a “desert season.” However, like the Israelites, the Lord will allow our revolving around our mountain until we resolve our mountain.

One Saturday afternoon, my wife and daughter were in the backyard when they noticed a beautiful bald eagle being harassed by several crows. They reported that the crows were essentially chasing the bald eagle away. I heard the commotion but did not see the event. Out of wanting to see this event personally, I asked the Lord to show that to me because I believed the Lord was saying something through this.

A week later, my daughter and I were at my son’s track meet when we heard a loud commotion in the sky. We looked up and noticed a half dozen or so crows chasing off a bald eagle. The Lord was answering my prayer. Frankly, the crows looked like tiny birds compared to the bald eagle. At that moment, the Lord confirmed to me what I believed I was understanding about that scene:

My prophetic voices in the earth are like the great bald eagle. I have empowered them with strength in their wings to ascend to the highest places in Me. Their wings are designed to reside in My highest realms. The power they carry within them is so sufficient, so extraordinary, the patterns of this world and the kingdom of darkness is merely like harassing crows. At any moment the bald eagle could turn around and drive off or destroy the assignments of the crows. What My people have yet to resolve is themselves in Me.

My people will flee like the bald eagle, rather than stand strong in Me. It is easier for them to revolve their old cycle than to resolve who I am and what I promised I would do. My people are faced with their finest hour. My glory stands at the door for those who choose to resolve Me in their lives, who choose to resolve my Word in their hearts and who resolve that which I have spoken through My prophets. Arise My people, your finest hour is here. You must resolve Me in your heart, and you must dissolve your flesh and your carnality in Me.

Let all of God’s people, Arise! for He is a rising God. Don’t focus on the enemy who may come in like a flood. Your God promises He will raise up a standard against him (Is. 59:19). When your God arises, He arises big! He arises powerfully! Gloriously! and always on time. He spoke the universe into existence and it continues to expand because He never ordered it to stop. When your Lord commands you to arise, you are never to stop arising because He never commanded you to stop. NOW ARISE!!

The Dead Raising Team

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:52:00 +0000

In the Spirit of Revelation 19:10, "...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

I've written about the Dead Raising Team (the DRT) in the past. This is another description of them and their work.

This is our heritage here in the Pacific Northwest. If "healing is the children's bread," then resurrection from the dead is the children's meat and potatoes.

Please pray for the Dead Raising Team: more opportunities, more resurrections, more boldness. We need more of this in the church, and in our region!

Keeping Up With the Horses

admclain@gmail.com (David McLain) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 05:17:00 +0000

Jeremiah 12:5
"If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you,
Then how can you contend with horses?
And if in the land of peace,
In which you trusted, they wearied you,
Then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?

This is an interesting challenge that I believe God is speaking to His church right now. “You think you’re tired now? What are you going to do when the pace picks up? He’s been saying this for the past couple of years.

And now the pace is picking up. If we were content to jog along in the back of the pack, maybe also in the back pew, not pressing very hard into “God things”, then we’re discovering that isn’t working as well as it used to. I expect we’ll find the back rows of the church becoming more sparsely populated as their usual inhabitants can no longer keep up and fall away.

But the Denizens Of The Back Pew aren’t typically readers of blogs, particularly blogs like this one whose purpose is to challenge the status quo. Readers of this type of blog are more likely to be followers of Christ who are intentional and pressing forward in their relationship with God.

Believers who take the position of, “I want more in God,” tend to be among leaders of this race that we’re running with the footmen. And if the pace of the race is picking up, if the pacesetters are no longer soldiers but horses, then what will happen to those runners who were not falling behind? What will happen to the leaders of the pack?

What do we do? An examination of this passage reveals some answers.

First, the terms are military: “footmen” refers to solders on foot, and they only ran to the battle they looked forward to winning (a different verb was used of fleeing from a defeat). The run to the fight is indeed capable of wearying us, though it does not need to; by running regularly, with discipline and passion, we can keep up with the footmen. That’s valuable when we’re running with the footmen – as we have been, but not as valuable when the horses come onto the battlefield – as is beginning to happen now.

But the assumption is that after running with footmen for a while, we will run next with horses, or more precisely, we will “contend with horses.” Horses, while valuable other uses, were primarily tools of war, in this era, nearly always pulling chariots, so the image is still one of warfare.

But the verb Jeremiah chose is not about “keeping up with” the war horses and their implied chariots; it’s about contending with them. The Hebrew word charah is a primitive root, speaking of passion, jealousy, anger; it’s related to an Aramaic root word meaning “to cause fire to burn

Let’s just be bold and come right out and say it: our pace is picking up. It used to be that we could keep our place in the race by running with a certain level of exertion, and it isn’t working any more. We’re running just as hard, but we’re falling behind.

The solution is not about running harder. There is benefit in running harder when the pace is slower, when the pace-setters are foot soldiers. When the battle horses come onto the field, it’s not about running harder, it’s about charah: it’s about passion, anger, burning.

In this phase of the race, running harder won’t help. Passion is the only thing that will get us through this season, passion for the Man Jesus, for our relationship with Him, passion for the battle we’re facing, for the people who will be the spoils of war for one side or the other. Passion, fire in our soul, is the solution in this season we’re entering.

In traditional Hebrew fashion, the question is asked twice, using two different metaphors:

· If you’re getting weary just running with the footmen, what will happen when you need to contend with horses?

· If you’ve gotten weary in a land of peace (in which you’ve trusted), then how will you do in the floodplain of Jordan?

The phrase “floodplain of the Jordan” is interesting, particularly as we’re heading toward that place, away from the land of peace that we’ve become comfortable with. In the Hebrew, “floodplain” is a the metaphorical translation of the KJV and NKJV, while NIV and RSV translate “thickets”. The original word references “majesty” and “splendor.”

Both speak of abundance, of increase. The region around the Jordan was thick with growth, nearly a jungle compared with the rest of the land, and the reason was the water of the Jordan. So the figure of speech “floodplain of the Jordan” is talking about a season of fruitfulness, of increase, of abundance: an increase of the River, an increase in growth, an increase of harvest.

It might be worth noting that the increased growth around the river also provided cover for predators: lions particularly were known to hide in the cover there. Where there is an increase of harvest, there is often an increase of predators.

The point is this: “If you have been caught up in the crises of the land of peace, what will you do when I begin pouring out more of my river, when you enter the season of fruitfulness?”

It’s easy enough to be caught up with the stuff of life. We have challenges from information overload, from on-line distractions, from provocations coming from landlords, co-workers, other drivers. It’s easy to become overloaded in the drama of this season of running with the foot soldiers.

The fact that it’s foot soldiers we’re running with should help give us perspective: this isn’t about my comfort: we’re running to a battle. I need to be prepared for that battle, my attention needs to be on eternity in order to not be caught up in order to not be wearied in this race. I must “fix my eyes on Jesus” (Hebrews 12:1-2) and run with the discipline of a single focus to keep up with the soldiers. That season was marked by “Just keep on running. Just keep running.”

But with the increased pace of the war horses, there comes an entirely different focus. This season is being marked by an increase of the River among us, and by an increase of growth and of harvest. In this season, we’re beginning to experience the outpouring of God and the ingathering of the lost that we’ve been praying for during the years and decades of “just keep running.”

This is what we’ve been praying for, what we’ve sacrificed for, what we’ve been waiting for! But now that God is answering those prayers, things are different than they once were. The water is higher. The undergrowth is thicker. There’s life sprouting up all over the place, whether in healings, in people coming to (or back to) faith, or in unbelievers being open to hearing the gospel of life.

But there are lions hiding in these bushes as well, still roaring, still seeking someone to devour. If not you, then some of the new believers, some of the people who have been recently healed, some of the folks asking questions now.

We’ll be sustained in this battle by the fire of passion. Discipline – which was so valuable before – is of less value now; its place is perhaps a safety net: if passion falters, then we’re not completely destroyed. But the successful warfare strategy will be to develop a burning heart, to fan the spark of our love for God and for His people into a flame and nurture it into a bonfire. In the wild, have you noticed how a campfire always draws the people around it, but the wild animals are driven away from it in fear?
