The Lord is turning His people's hearts back to Him.

In the United States, there is a shifting taking place. It is about the hearts of the children of God, and their satisfaction.

The things of the world that used to give us pleasure will no longer be fulfilling. A revelation of eternal relevance is falling in a new way.

It will not be fun sin anymore.

The hearts of the Fathers will be restored to the children, and the children to the Fathers.

***

There is a call that has gone out to this Nation-

"Will you be unsatisfied with unrighteousness or will you continue to lay dormant, the Sleeping Bride of Christ?"

Matthew 11:12
"From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."

Love is the key! - just reflect my love.. Don't worry because NOT all will accept you, some are going to reject you, and even come against you... because you're going against the grain of religion... but know I have those who you now know and some you have not yet met.

I am calling out the obscure - and I will bring those that are equipped to teach and help...and those who WILL grow rapidly into their gifts. There are connection already made in heaven that are yet to come - It will not all be on your shoulders (as individuals), but your team of many, and it WILL grow. There will be College students. They will be young... of all ages...the young and old.. this isn't about age, but it's about hearts. Those that desire me- to know me. They'll be ALL ages- as they are all my children, and many have only needed a safe place to heal, and giftings pulled out, to be encouraged. And there are those that I have took through the wilderness and have prepared them to move forward and take the land- to take my people deeper into the promise land.

I'll be brought into the schools- into colleges, I'm going to the streets through you-

There is a release bursting forth now- coming down upon you- your streets-

my people-that have been strategically placed!

We Have God's Attention

Today in second service worship, God's presence hit me. (Let me just say that I was about out the door, having gone to first service, and worship had started for the second service and I was just drawn to the front of the church).

About a couple songs in, I noticed the projector begin to shake (like it has been doing for awhile). However, this time when I looked at it, God spoke to me and said, "It's moving because of the Angels that are here, flying amidst you."

Which was sweet, because first service I could smell and sense that there was at least one angel in the sanctuary.

Then, worship continued, and God's presence struck me while we were worshiping to "In the Secret" ... and God showed me/told me this:

It began with going out from my spot in church, and everything was zooming out. I saw the church building, then Paso, then the county, and it just kept zooming out. And, then I saw God's glory shoot down upon Paso Robles, like a flash light piercing the darkness. The light was so bright that it was near blinding.

Then I heard God say, "Paso Robles, you have caught my attention, my favor is upon you. I have sent my Angels to you, there are on their way. Persevere, continue to move forward. Expect miracles. They are coming."

[[now, of course, I didn't get all of that out in church when I spoke out, frankly, I'm surprised I was able to say anything at all. I could just feel God all over me, I was speaking, but I didn't really feel like I was controlling anything. My insides were near uncontrollable as I spoke. My pulse raced, I could feel tremors begin to run through my right hand.]]

Several more words were given, and during another one, I heard God say this: "You must put aside your docile nature. I am calling you to be like my Son, I am calling you to be like Me, your God, your Creator. I am calling you to be RADICAL."

Falling over kings

Israel wanted a king like the other nations, but Samuel the Lord's voice in Israel at the time, was greived. God was there King, why would they want a human to take His place when they have the living God to lead them? The people presed on, they were too afraid to trust in what they couldn't see. Then the Lord warned them of what the king woud do, He spoke of his behavior. Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, "No, but we will have a king over us..." So the Lord gave them a Saul.

Why would we wan't to have a king over us when we could have the living God as our only King? Nothing else compares! We look towards relationships, friendships, moms and dads, you name it, they can become our king Sauls. We look toward everyone else, the other nations that surround us, and want to be like them. That was the first thing man did wrong, look at himself (Gensis 3:7). We ask God to give us a king to rule over us, and in doing so we foresake our first love. This is all because we are afraid to trust in what we cannot see, we often want something we still aren't ready to get and in doing so we jump the gun and grab something that isn't yet completed, and we get a king Saul when God had a king David He was about to give us.

When we grab what isn't ready yet, it goes all wrong because it still hasn't been prepared in the fullest. Then suddenly God will seem distant because we taken our eyes off of Him and started staring at the things that go wrong and cry to him asking why things got so bad, when in the begining all we needed to do was keep our eyes off ourselves. It's the "not my will but Yours" concept that we need to get into our spirits.

So know this, all God wants us to do is be patient with Him; with Him as a joint effort, that as He is patient with us we are patient in waiting for His timing on things. And if you are in this situation and feel like you are all along here are the words of Billy Graham's mother that helped him in a time when it feels the heavens seemed to be like brass; she said, "Son, there are times when God withdraws to test your faith. He wants you to trust Him in the darkness. Now, son, reach up by faith in the fog and you will find that His hand will be there."

Stand before God now, He is there, and repent of your behavior in the past and it will be forgotten. Know that you have the promise of the future to grasp onto and that the Lord will give you king David to replace what you are going through!

A premature release spells disaster--repent before God for restoration of His Word

So, over the past few weeks, God has been reminding me of various prophecies and words that he has given me or I've heard for others and that in our inexperience and desire to be at that point (and see the words come to pass) we take it upon ourselves to fulfill that word or promise through the flesh.

It's the whole timing issue here. Have you ever had God say to you, "I want you to say this, but if you decide not to say it, what I have isn't going to happen."? There's another way to look at it. "I'm going to tell you this, but you have to sit on it. If you act too soon, you'll spoil the fullness of my promise" ...of course, being the eager ones we are, we all too often prematurely release the word of God and attempt to make it come true through our flesh...which spells disaster.

The awesome thing about God is that He gives us free-will to chose to do whatever it is we have a desire to do. Sometimes with being inexperienced, or not trained in certain areas, we can become impatient, or lose sight of the big picture of what God is doing and thus interpret the word of God through our Flesh, thus spoiling the fullness.

It is this that I have come to realize over the last few weeks, looking back on my inexperience, the inexperience of others, that I can take the word that God, release it prematurely, which causes premature actions, which without the proper foundations will spell disaster.

(I was just reminded of the whole package scenario. God says, "Hey, I've got this for you, I'm sending it down...be patient while it's being shipped...but once you get it, and I give you permission to open it up...we're going for it" ...but, we get impatient and create a fake package out of feelings, of mood of the day, creating a false perception that we really got the package God sent us. At that point, the package that God was sending us returns back to the storeroom of Heaven labeled "return to shipper" because in actuality, it's been rejected before it's even been received--in other words, God gave us a promise, but we, you and I, thought we could recreate God's promise through our own works, our own hands merely because of what we perceive as "slow shipping")

The most awesome thing about God is that you can still get those packages, those promises are still valid and they have no expiration date. Go before God, repent before God, cry out to God--he knows your heart, because he created your heart, he is part of your heart.

....

Father, I come before you know, Lord, as a representative of those who have spread your promises prematurely, those that you entrusted with your promises but they failed to keep them until the right time. Father, I just call forth all those packages that are stored in heaven, father those that have been returned to the sender, Father, I call forth those packages, that you would just begin to assign the angels to rerelease those packages Father. Lord that you would remind your children of the promises that you have given them, Lord that you would remind them that your word doesn't become null and void, God, I just come before you, Father I lie before you Lord, I repent before you Father for all those who have let their flesh get in the way of your word, your promises Father. God, I just ask for your Grace and Mercy to cover us Father, that you would mend the unnecessary wounds that we have inflicted upon ourselves Lord. God, I call back Unity, God, I cry out for unity. Lord that we would draw closer to your throne and closer to each other as we do so. Father that you would create that brotherly/sisterly love in all of us, Father that we would prefer one another, that we would lay down our lives for each other. Father, we ask for restoration to the minds and the spirits that have been hurt in the unauthorized release of your word and promises Father. God we just ask that you would create the necessary foundations in each of us for the promises you have for us Lord, that you would teach us patience and resting in your word, that you would teach us humbleness and the importance of being obedient. God, we confess we need you, that we need your words, that we need your promises, that we need your hand in everything we do, for we can do nothing apart from you Lord. Thank you Father for reminding us.

Restoration of the Living Waters

Father, I call for the restoration of the living waters of this county, the healing waters and springs that you established in this land long ago. Father that this area would again be known for the healing waters, that the waters would cause people to come here from afar, not fully knowing what or why they seek the waters, but that you Lord God would meet them, Father.

That your presence and your health that you give us would become infectious, that disease would have to flee from this area and even Nation-wide, World-wide that the central coast of California would have an abnormal rate of continually healthy people, Father, that those people would be the people living for you Lord, consumed by you Father.

God we cry out for the restoration of those waters, we call forth those living waters. Father, spring up those wells that have been capped by man for years. Release the waters that have been desiring to spread throughout this land and let it grow and become fruitful. Father, we declare restoration of your waters, of your Holy Spirit of your lands. God, we take back the land that has been stolen, that has been hoarded by the enemy. God, we welcome your angels into this land, Father that this area would have a continually open door to heaven, to your hosts of angels Father.

We speak restoration and rejuvenation to your waters Father...that they would wash over us, that they would consume us, that they would come unexpectedly Father. We call for your living waters Father, we cry out for your living waters Father.

A brawl

We were in the quad at Cal-State Fullerton, praying desperately for our school. We were interceding, though I may have been the only one in the group who knows the meaning of that word. Then I looked up towards McCarthy Hall (where the Math and Science departments are).

I saw the hugest demon I've ever seen, sitting atop the building. He looked straight at me, staring me in the eyes. I realized there was great danger, but there was no fear. It's gaze pressed me back, but I stood firm, knowing that it's time would be over soon.

At that moment, Jesus arrived, right in front of me. He was at least 30 - 40 feet tall, and he was looking straight at the demon. He walked towards McCarthy Hall, pulled out a sword, and slashed. The demon fell. I no longer saw them, and focused again on prayer.

A moment later, I looked up, and I saw them again. It was a viscous brawl, Jesus standing calmly, the demon crouched low, desperately attacking. In no time at all, it was over.

Then I was able to know the minds of all the demons in the building (at least one per classroom). They knew their leader was gone, and they wondered "What next?" They didn't know, but I did. I saw that soon, an angel, at least the size of the demon would alight on the building, and the Kingdom of Heaven would rule where the kingdom of darkness once held sway. Praise God!

THE RIVER

As I sat in intercession the Lord suddenly caught me up into a vision. Suddenly I was standing in this strange place, it looked like a fire had just been through this place, it was horrible. Almost everything I saw was gray, like soot, and the trees in the distance were dead and black, and had no leaves on them. The sky was dark and grey with clouds and smoke, and I could see pillars of smoke in the distance. Then I looked down, I was standing on the bank of a river, I was at the foot of a water fall. The water was so pure and pristine that it almost seemed like it was glowing. It seemed that this river was the only living thing in this whole place; it was a stiff contrast from everything else around it. As I looked into the river I realized that the river was all that was left something once great. I knew that all the death that seemed to be around me was once a beautiful place, but was destroyed and it's beauty taken away. These waters were living.


I started to walk towards the water, but then I saw something that made me freeze mid-step. I saw the enemy walking towards the river on the other side, he was smiling. He had a vile of poison in his hand, as he got to the edge of the river he held the vile over the river and poured it all out into the pure waters. Just as he did this a large angel from heaven flew down from heaven to oppose him. As the angel landed next to him Satan's form was that of an angel. He looked like his former self except instead of glowing from the Lord's glory, like the angel that came from heaven, he was dark all over and he was wearing a crown. The angel that came against him pointed at Satan and said something that I could not hear, then Satan turned his head away from the angel with a prideful smile and he pushed away the angel down and he went tumbling to the ground. When I saw this I yelled at Satan saying, "Hey, you can't do that!" Right when I said this he fell back and turned back to what originally looked like; he was rolling around on the ground with extreme anger. He couln't see me, and it infuriated him even more.


I turned and started to run, I knew the enemy couldn't see me but I didn't want to wait and see if he could in a minute or to. I got maybe four steps before something happened. I ran into someone and fell to the ground. I looked up and saw Jesus standing there, He was looking at the river and the enemy with an examining eye, and then He looked down at me. I got up and hid behind Him like a child would hide behind one of his parents; Jesus was huge, I stood to about his waist. Then I looked back at the waters with fear, the once gorgeous waters were now polluted and the pollution was spreading down river then I looked at the enemy who was now up and looking around for me, I looked up to Jesus to see what He wanted me to do.
He looked down at me and said, "I will handle him," then He looked back up, I suddenly felt a peace and a commission come over me. I started to think of all the people that might be affected by this river, and how horrible things would happen to them if the poison got to them.

"Lord, what can I do?" I asked him. He looked back down at me. I was still standing right behind Him holding the back of His clothes.

"Go down the river ahead of the poison and plunge your sword into the center of the waters to stop it." Suddenly I was wearing armor and a sword was at my side. I looked at Him one more time, I could see His burden, what was on His heart, and I knew I had to go. So I started running along the river as fast as I could. I kept running for a long time but then I started to get tired, but I was determined to keep going, I had gotten to the point where I felt like I couldn’t go anymore the suddenly an angel flew down behind me and picked me up and started carrying me. As we flew I regained strength miraculously fast. Then I saw the spot were I knew where I was supposed to go and the angel must have known too because he took me down and dropped me off near the river without me even telling him.


I ran to the river, and ran right into the water without hesitation and plunged my sword into the water and soil of the river. Then I looked up and saw the enemy's poison coming in the water. Suddenly I saw back to where I was I saw Jesus and the enemy. Jesus was standing with His arms extended and all His wounds that He suffered for me and the entire world were visible and His blood was running down His body. Then I saw the enemy, he was rolling around on the ground screaming. He looked like acid was being poured onto his flesh, it was the blood of Jesus, the enemy's flesh was sizzling in certain spots and smoke was rising from him.


Then suddenly I was standing with Jesus in another place, He looked down at me and smiled. Then He took me by the hand and we just stood together. I looked at His hand and saw the piercing from when He was crucified; I could see my hand through His. I looked up at Him and then back to our hands, and then I saw a hole forming on my hand like His, I watched it get bigger and bigger until I could see through both our hands. And then the vision ended.

The vision is not you complete yet, but that is all the Lord revealed to me in that one part of the vision. So... to be continued

Prayer Walk at Cal-State Fullerton

During a recent prayer walk at Cal-State Fullerton, these topics of prayer came up:

Revival in November
Food for the Poor
Strength for the Week
Healing for the Broken
A guy named Blue
The Math Department

The Spirit was moving during this time of prayer, very powerfully.

....i see angels

1:45 a.m.

there once was a man who just woke from a dream where he saw a church completely filled with angels and no one else could see them (other than three angels) but him, he rolled over and saw an angel standing in his room. the glory of God was around the angel, and filled his room with light. the man told the angel, "hey sorry for the mess," then he rolled and waited for God to do something.

2:10 a.m.

he waited for God's move, he knew that God was about to do something...completely forgeting the angel standing in his room, then suddenly there was an earthquake, a 3.5, "someone must've just been healed, or someone was saved or something," he knew God had just moved. he rolled over and looked out his window towards a starless sky. a star appeared right where he was looking and fell out of the sky and disappeared into the night. the man smiled, God had just moved in all these ways all in one night, the man was happy. he then saw into the spirit realm, in a vision, and he saw the heaven's rain fall upon the earth. he closed his eyes and fell back to sleep.

true story.

THE LION RETURNS

At the Redding conference on the second day during the last session of the day the Lord spoke to me. It was just after worship and He said to me, “Go sit in the front and that is where you will find your blessing.” So I obeyed His words and sat in the front on the floor with a bunch of kids I didn’t know. Bob Jones a prophet and friend of the Lord was speaking, he was sharing a vision the Lord had given him, as he was speaking I suddenly saw a bright flash in the room. I looked around to see if anyone else had seen the flash, all eyes were fixed on Bob.

I was then shown a vision from the Lord, I saw the angel Gabriel standing on the stage behind Bob. He was looking, at the audience; he had a look of anticipation in his eyes, he was anxious. Then I saw a horn on his side, his hand was on it. He was waiting for the Lord to let him blow the horn.

Then the Lord showed me what was about to happen when he did blow the horn. I saw all the people in the sanctuary standing, and there was a massive cry among the people in the audience, and every one was praising the Lord at the top of their lungs.
I saw Gabriel put the horn to his lips and blow as hard as he could, as he blew his horn. While this was all happening I saw two multitudes of angels (smaller then Gabriel, but taller then the tallest man in the room) appear in the sanctuary, all with horns to their lips blowing with all their might. They were lining the sides of the sanctuary, one on the right of the stage and one to the left. As this praise was going on I saw a large Lion come in from the back-right part of the sanctuary. He was huge the top of His head nearly touched the top of the sanctuary (the sanctuary roofs had to have been at least fifty feet). I saw a resolute stern look in His eyes, it was His authority (I remember seeing a purple-crimson color come in with Him, no object or anything like that was that color but when I see this vision in my mind that color always pops up). He walked up to the front of the sanctuary and roared above all the praise.

Later that night I was thinking about the vision and then a revelation hit me. The Lion of Judah is coming into His church. I knew that was what the vision was about but I didn’t really understand the power in it until I heard God say it. There were some things that stood out in the vision; it was that Gabriel didn’t blow the horn until the whole church was praising the Lord with all they had in them. Also the color I saw come in with Him it was the color of royalty. The King’s presence and redemption.

I urge you now pray, pray in spirit and truth, pray with a passion, pray with a humble spirit and rejoicing soul, pray with scriptures, pray with clean hands and pure hearts, pray with praises on your lips, that the Lion of Judah will come into His church standing in all His authority.
