Prophecy

There’s Another Shaking Coming to the Border of Washington and Oregon, to Portland & Vancouver.

There’s another shaking that’s coming to the boarder of Washington and the border of Oregon.

There’s another shaking that’s coming in the city of Portland. A shaking in Vancouver. For God says that I’ll touch both Oregon and Washington State. And I’ll pour out a double portion that will flow into both states.

For I’m doing something in the Northwest says the Lord, that no man will get the glory for. But this shall be a spiritual quake, a shaking out of a religion, says the Spirit of God, a religion that calls itself “woke.”

But the Lord says, I’m bringing a great awakening, and I’ll start on the west coast. For I will call pastors both in Washington state as well as in Oregon to collaborate and come together for an outpouring that will not be in just one place or one location, but will be in multiple cities and in multiple places.

For all across these states, says the Spirit of God, there have been wells of revival that have been dug. But the enemy has covered them up, but I’m bringing a flood. I’ll flood Oregon. I’ll flood Washington state.

And these states will never be the same. For the Spirit of the Lord says the catalyst will be an earthquake that is upon the fault line between – oh my – between Washington State and Oregon.

And the Lord says that I will fill, I will fill the city and the states with my presence. It will go across the state in every place. It will fill even the state house, God says. And I’ll shake out this agenda of “wokism.” And I’ll replace it with an awakening says the Spirit of God.

Greatest Outpouring / Responding to Prophetic Promises

Martin Best
Wednesday, October 21

IT'S COMING: I had a very intense dream last night/early this morning that at first I thought was just for me because I normally not recognize individuals in my dreams unless they're just for me. However, Holy Spirit said to share parts of this one.

I was in a large room like a school gymnasium with round tables and chairs, somewhere in the south, listening to the worship team. As I was getting lost in the worship I noticed one individual come off the stage area and go over to the table where my wife was sitting and begin to chat with her.

Then a few moments later a young man came over and sat down next to me and I recognized him as Jeremy Mangerchine . We started talking about “stuff”, how it's easy to gain weight eating all the good food around New Orleans, and then he said,

“The Father wants you to know that you're about to see the greatest outpouring of His Spirit since the first Pentecost - and that all of the signs, wonders and miracles since that day until now will pale in comparison to what He is about to do now through His sons and daughters who have been tried and tested over the years.”

I RECEIVE ABBA - LET IT BE SO!

Prophetic dream from Martin Best.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Do you want in on this? Even though it’s a promise, even though it’s a gift, it’s not without cost.

The key, I believe, to participating in words like this is ὑπομονή, perseverance: not swerving from our deliberate purpose. If we approach this as a tourist, as an observer, then at best, we’ll watch it from a safe distance; we won’t be in the midst of it. 

It’s easy to hear promises like this and get excited about them. That doesn’t accomplish much more than a temporary emotion.

It’s easy to hear promises like this, and to notice that you haven’t seen what it’s talking about, and get discouraged, and quit hoping, quit believing, quit pressing in for them. I don’t mean to be harsh, but that disqualifies us from most of the promise.

I hear Father emphasizing something this morning: emphasizing that we have the choice for how much we get to participate in promises like this. And our choice is revealed by how we respond. Here’s what I hear him whispering is a wise response, a response that targets us for participating:

·         Don’t just grab the promise (any promise) blindly. Examine it. Judge it. Discern it. (1 Corinthians 14:29).
·         An emotional reaction is fine, but insufficient. It’s good to be happy about an extravagant promise like this, but happiness is just wrapping paper: it’s not substance.
·         If we want the promise to come about, we pretty often need to participate with God in bringing it out of the spiritual realm and into the world here. That may involve work. It will involve prayer, and likely lots of prayer, much of it in face-to-face declaration of that which is promised as though it were already manifested in our community. Agree with the word. Vigorously.
·         I recommend dialog, listening to God even as we’re talking with Him (and declaring to creation) about the promise. He’ll give more clarity, more revelation, more direction in how to pray, how to work, what to expect, who to partner with, etc.

So do you want in on this? Are you ready to go war over the promises? This is part of the trying and testing the word speaks about.

Prophecy

The Rain of Heaven

[Editor's Note: This word is not specific to the Northwest - other than the fact that the Northwest is expert on the subject of rain - but it has great application to us here in the Northwest.] 

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.“
- Galatians 6:9
 
I foresee a great move of God, such as we have never before seen.
 
There is a due season of great harvest. There is a timing to all sovereign moves of God. Looking back and observing the history of the Church, I’ve come to see that God knows how to yield the greatest harvest from any generation.
 
Some say that we shouldn’t wait for revival, stressing that we should rather be revival. And that’s a valid point. Should we be inactive? No! In fact, laziness and wickedness seem to be synonymous to God. But the truth is that even with all of our efforts and obedience, only God can bring the rain. So we should find a healthy balance that avoids the extremes of both laziness and independence.
 
In this season, we will see many saved. In this season, we will see many healed. In this season, we will accomplish many good things and bear much fruit. But there’s nothing like when God brings the rain. You can plow and plant all you want – but only God can bring the rain.
 
There is no formula for this. There are no step-by-step keys. There is no secret. It’s really just God. But we must plow and plant. Otherwise, when it rains, what will grow? This is the partnership of man and God: We do the possible. He does the impossible.
 
Waiting on God does not mean inactivity. In fact, if you believe that it’s going to rain, you need to plant the seeds and plow the ground. Don’t wait around. Otherwise, when God moves, you’ll weep and not reap.
 
But what seeds are you planting? Are they truly spiritual seeds? Are you building a church or an organization? A church or a club? Do you seek righteousness or relevance? Are you praying for the sick? Are you casting out demons?
 
Whatever the seeds you are planting, you can be sure that they will become a harvest. But what sort of harvest are you going to reap? Will it be good or will it be God? Are you sowing the seeds of programs or power? Attendance or anointing? Methods or miracles? Tolerance or truth?
 
Don’t grow weary. Plant what God tells you to plant. The rain is coming.
 
3 Outcomes of the Outpouring
 
Last week, I wrote of a coming revival that I foresee. I encouraged my readers to continue planting seeds and plowing the ground. The rain is most certainly coming.
 
But I want to prepare you for what’s coming. Just like the return of Christ, all pivotal and divine actions are both a joy and a terror. The scripture uses the term, “Great and terrible”. Everyone knows that something big is coming. Major, global changes are just around the corner.
 
As of now, I don’t know what the condition of the nations will be during the rain (the outpouring). Though I do suspect that hostility towards the Church will continue to grow until the final appearing of Christ, I don’t believe that full-blown persecution will arrive in the United Statesbefore the next great outpouring. But persecution may come as a result of the incredible shaking that revival will bring to this nation. Again, God has not spoken to me in that regard. I am only speculating at this point. But what was made clear to me was this: “You’ve sown the seeds. I’m about to bring the rain.”
 
Church, the rain is coming. And these 3 things will come as a result.
 
#1 The Workers will be Refreshed
 
“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.” - Acts 3:17-21


 
There seems to be a chronology here. Firstly, Christ’s suffering is fulfilled. Then, after repentance, times of refreshing come. And then Christ is sent again. But “Heaven must receive [Him] until the time for restoring all the things…” Christ’s return is preceded by a time of great refreshing.
 
When the rain comes, the workers of the field will be refreshed. As of right now, ministers and Christian leaders are exhausted. Look at the sad statistics:
 
45% of pastors say that they’ve experienced depression or burnout to the extent that they needed to take a leave of absence from ministry. 1,500 pastors leave their ministries each month due to burnout, conflict, or moral failure. 50% of the ministers starting out will not last 5 years. 4,000 new churches begin each year while 7,000 churches close.
 
Am I saying that there is no refreshment for now? Am I saying we are powerless until the next great outpouring? Of course not! Yes, we are to, to some degree, be the revival we desire to see. I addressed this in last week’s blog. But there is certainly a time of fresh outpouring that brings about a greater time of refreshing. I see an open field of very dry dirt. The field goes on for miles and miles in all directions. I see, as Jesus saw, a plentiful harvest, waiting to be harvested. But to every harvest there is a season. This harvest, for now, is in the form of seeds. I see people planting and plowing. There are thousands of workers. They are sweating and tired. Each movement kicks up a cloud of dirt. But, overhead, I see a cloud beginning to form. The workers look up with great expectation yet continue to plow and to plant. Then, the cloud covers the entirety of the visible skyline. Thunder rumbles throughout the field – it is the sound of worship. Then, it begins to rain. Immediately, the harvest grows. The harvesters can’t move quickly enough to keep up with the growth. All of the seeds that were sown are now growing. The workers, wet with rain, are refreshed. They begin working at a more lively pace than ever before. The harvest yields greatly.
 
#2 The Harvest will Yield
 
But, among the good seeds, are bad seeds. They are seeds sown in the flesh and even seeds sown from demonic strategy.
 
“Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.“ - Matthew 13:24-26
 
But the wisdom of God, not wanting to lose the harvest, allows for both to grow. I’ll explain this on the next point.
 
However, when the harvest comes, both the good and bad seeds will grow.
 
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.“ - Galatians 6:7
 
What you’re sowing now will grow. Are you sowing of the spirit or of the secular? Are you building a church or a self-help club? Are you after man’s programs or God’s power? What is not of the spirit will not stand when the times change.
 
The church you’re building – will it be overcome by the times? Will it be deceived by the times? Or will it yield God’s harvest in the times?
 
Do you want the seeds you’ve been planting to grow or do you fear them being realized? Listen carefully. The rain is coming. You will reap a harvest. God is merciful, and there is still time to begin sowing rightly. But what you sow will become a harvest.
 
#3 The Weeds will be Exposed
 
“So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” - Matthew 13:27-30
 
The tares mentioned here were a type of rye-grass. This specific kind of rye-grass bore a very close resemblance to wheat. Only when the ear appeared could they be told apart from the wheat. Only when it came time to harvest could they be separated.
 
What looks like God’s church may not be God’s church. What looks like God’s actions may only be man’s. I’m not making a specific reference to anyone or anything. I’m simply telling you that much of what looks like the harvest just may not be the harvest.
 
Keep your heart right, and you have nothing to fear. Remain in God’s presence, and, when the harvest comes, you will rejoice.
 
Think About It,

In this season, we will see many saved. In this season, we will see many healed. In this season, we will accomplish many good things and bear much fruit. But there’s nothing like when God brings the rain. You can plow and plant all you want – but only God can bring the rain.
 
There is no formula for this. There are no step-by-step keys. There is no secret. It’s really just God. But we must plow and plant. Otherwise, when it rains, what will grow? This is the partnership of man and God: We do the possible. He does the impossible.
 
Waiting on God does not mean inactivity. In fact, if you believe that it’s going to rain, you need to plant the seeds and plow the ground. Don’t wait around. Otherwise, when God moves, you’ll weep and not reap.
 
But what seeds are you planting? Are they truly spiritual seeds? Are you building a church or an organization? A church or a club? Do you seek righteousness or relevance? Are you praying for the sick? Are you casting out demons?
 
Whatever the seeds you are planting, you can be sure that they will become a harvest. But what sort of harvest are you going to reap? Will it be good or will it be God? Are you sowing the seeds of programs or power? Attendance or anointing? Methods or miracles? Tolerance or truth?
 
Don’t grow weary. Plant what God tells you to plant. The rain is coming.
 
3 Outcomes of the Outpouring
 
Last week, I wrote of a coming revival that I foresee. I encouraged my readers to continue planting seeds and plowing the ground. The rain is most certainly coming.
 
But I want to prepare you for what’s coming. Just like the return of Christ, all pivotal and divine actions are both a joy and a terror. The scripture uses the term, “Great and terrible”. Everyone knows that something big is coming. Major, global changes are just around the corner.
 
As of now, I don’t know what the condition of the nations will be during the rain (the outpouring). Though I do suspect that hostility towards the Church will continue to grow until the final appearing of Christ, I don’t believe that full-blown persecution will arrive in the United Statesbefore the next great outpouring. But persecution may come as a result of the incredible shaking that revival will bring to this nation. Again, God has not spoken to me in that regard. I am only speculating at this point. But what was made clear to me was this: “You’ve sown the seeds. I’m about to bring the rain.”
 
Church, the rain is coming. And these 3 things will come as a result.
 
#1 The Workers will be Refreshed
 
“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.” - Acts 3:17-21


 
There seems to be a chronology here. Firstly, Christ’s suffering is fulfilled. Then, after repentance, times of refreshing come. And then Christ is sent again. But “Heaven must receive [Him] until the time for restoring all the things…” Christ’s return is preceded by a time of great refreshing.
 
When the rain comes, the workers of the field will be refreshed. As of right now, ministers and Christian leaders are exhausted. Look at the sad statistics:
 
45% of pastors say that they’ve experienced depression or burnout to the extent that they needed to take a leave of absence from ministry. 1,500 pastors leave their ministries each month due to burnout, conflict, or moral failure. 50% of the ministers starting out will not last 5 years. 4,000 new churches begin each year while 7,000 churches close.
 
Am I saying that there is no refreshment for now? Am I saying we are powerless until the next great outpouring? Of course not! Yes, we are to, to some degree, be the revival we desire to see. I addressed this in last week’s blog. But there is certainly a time of fresh outpouring that brings about a greater time of refreshing. I see an open field of very dry dirt. The field goes on for miles and miles in all directions. I see, as Jesus saw, a plentiful harvest, waiting to be harvested. But to every harvest there is a season. This harvest, for now, is in the form of seeds. I see people planting and plowing. There are thousands of workers. They are sweating and tired. Each movement kicks up a cloud of dirt. But, overhead, I see a cloud beginning to form. The workers look up with great expectation yet continue to plow and to plant. Then, the cloud covers the entirety of the visible skyline. Thunder rumbles throughout the field – it is the sound of worship. Then, it begins to rain. Immediately, the harvest grows. The harvesters can’t move quickly enough to keep up with the growth. All of the seeds that were sown are now growing. The workers, wet with rain, are refreshed. They begin working at a more lively pace than ever before. The harvest yields greatly.
 
#2 The Harvest will Yield
 
But, among the good seeds, are bad seeds. They are seeds sown in the flesh and even seeds sown from demonic strategy.
 
“Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.“ - Matthew 13:24-26
 
But the wisdom of God, not wanting to lose the harvest, allows for both to grow. I’ll explain this on the next point.
 
However, when the harvest comes, both the good and bad seeds will grow.
 
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.“ - Galatians 6:7
 
What you’re sowing now will grow. Are you sowing of the spirit or of the secular? Are you building a church or a self-help club? Are you after man’s programs or God’s power? What is not of the spirit will not stand when the times change.
 
The church you’re building – will it be overcome by the times? Will it be deceived by the times? Or will it yield God’s harvest in the times?
 
Do you want the seeds you’ve been planting to grow or do you fear them being realized? Listen carefully. The rain is coming. You will reap a harvest. God is merciful, and there is still time to begin sowing rightly. But what you sow will become a harvest.
 
#3 The Weeds will be Exposed
 
“So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” - Matthew 13:27-30
 
The tares mentioned here were a type of rye-grass. This specific kind of rye-grass bore a very close resemblance to wheat. Only when the ear appeared could they be told apart from the wheat. Only when it came time to harvest could they be separated.
 
What looks like God’s church may not be God’s church. What looks like God’s actions may only be man’s. I’m not making a specific reference to anyone or anything. I’m simply telling you that much of what looks like the harvest just may not be the harvest.
 
Keep your heart right, and you have nothing to fear. Remain in God’s presence, and, when the harvest comes, you will rejoice.
 
Think About It,

What does this Incipient Outpouring That is Impacting the Northwest Look Like?

What does this Incipient Outpouring That is Impacting the Northwest Look Like?

by Bob Brasset

Recently my friend, Don Pirozok, was with a middle- aged mother and grandmother. Both of these precious ladies have been praying, interceding and absolutely pouring themselves out... seeking a move of God for their region and Country.
My friend, Don, wrote, “When you see these women immediately you are drawn to the visible light shining from their faces-particularly the grandmother. The presence of God seems to accompany her wherever she goes. The grandmother recounted how kids from several neighborhood blocks are being supernaturally drawn to her home to be "saved," so far about 18 in all. This young grandmother has been in constant prayer often late into the night being led to intercede for the different houses, city blocks and neighborhoods in her area. She also mentioned people in stores are commenting on the unusual "peace" which they feel around her and are being drawn by the presence of God. At times cars have stopped in front of her home and people walking by her house just stop and stand not knowing why they are being drawn to her home. My friend, Don, says, “I am so impacted by what the Holy Spirit is doing in her life.”
MINISTRY IN THE STREETS

Another adventure began when Laurs came with the team to minister in the streets. As the team spread out into different areas of the downtown, Laurs asked the Lord, “Where do I go?” Jesus said to her, “Go where my people are”. So she was led close to where some homeless people were hanging and close to an empty bottle depot.
She came to a junction, the Lord said, “Turn left“. Then she saw a motionless person laying in the street and a lady standing beside him. The lady started waving at her. She cried, “I need a phone to call an ambulance!” And so they did. To assure that person they told him that an ambulance was on the way. The guy did not like the idea. He started to crawl across the road , then he hit his head on the pavement and received a few scratches. They prayed. Finally the ambulance came. The man left in the ambulance.
Fast forward a few days later. There’s the guy again in the streets. Laurs spotted him. He’s now open to the Gospel. He’s with another guy who is Islamic. He spoke in Urdu. My friend, Robert, who was also there understood the language. Robert and Laurs then went and bought them coffee, donuts and pizza. They were so happy and surprised! The Urdu guy gave his life to Jesus and the then 4 others did too. (He had been at first very opposed to the gospel.)
After this another person arrived on the scene, pointed to the first guy and said “he is demonized and needs exorcism “. Robert said, “That's not a problem. Jesus took lots of demons out of people”. He stretched his hand out and commanded the demon to come out in the name of Jesus. He, who was at first so hostile to gospel, calmed down and accepted Jesus as his Lord, saying, “How come I feel so peaceful. And what just left my body?”

AN IMPAIRED KNEE HEALED

A person's knee was water logged. He couldn’t t move it and it was swollen badly. He could only limp along in a very stiff fashion. When he saw and heard what was going on, he asked for healing. We said to him, “Do you know that you can have Jesus in your heart and all your sins wiped clean and you can renounce all other Gods?” He accepted Jesus as his Lord. We suggested that he ask Jesus himself for healing, Then Laurs and Robert put their hands on him and started to speak in tongues. Holy Spirit said, “Tell him to start moving his knee.” After he moved his knee 20 times he ran across the road, did some sit ups, did a dance - a jig for the group, and then got his medicine and threw it out” He said, “I don't need it anymore.” He is now planning on going back home soon to witness to his family and his home Village. (He has First Nations background.) Three other people were watching this and gave their hearts to the Lord Jesus too!

My friend said, “Then on Sunday i stood on that corner started to pray and presence of the Lord was there, I spoke out loud, “This corner belongs to Jesus , every demon go and may alcohol taste like poison and drugs be revolting)” Another Muslim person was listening he started to cry , he wanted prayer and made Jesus His Lord .

JUST TODAY

Just this PM my friend, Lance Hollet, and I were in Hillside mall. We came upon an East Indian couple. To make a longer story short. The man has severe arthritis in the knee. He was healed when Lance commanded the arthritis to go but, interestingly, he had to command it 3 times! The East-Indian man gave the healing a very thorough going over and a series of physical test and rejoiced, declaring, “There is no pain, swelling or impairment in any way” Then it was his wife’s turn. She had an incurable damaged muscle in her back; she also had a rib condition that gave her great pain and impeded her sleep greatly. These conditions were ongoing for either 20 years or 10 years, I forget which. Anyway, she too was healed and declared as much after giving her back muscle and rib cage thorough tests and exercises right there in the Mall.
Later, I was passing a dollar store. A lady employee stepped out into the sidewalk and began to reach up to wash a window. Immediately I heard her cry out, "Ow ow, that hurts, that hurts so much! Oh, that is so painful!" I was right beside her so I said, "What's wrong?" She cried out again, "It hurts so much! I have a torn rotator cuff and the Doctor says I must have surgery and I don't want to. It is so painful." I said, "Would it be OK if Jesus heals you right now?" She replied, "Yes definitely the sooner the better. I'm hurting." I said, "Thank you Jesus for this awesome woman. I command the tear in the rotator cuff to be normal and completely healed with no pain, in Jesus name!" Then I said, "Test it out!" You should have seen the expression on her face. It was priceless. As she moved her arm and then began to windmill faster and faster her face expressed surprise, exuberance and joy, like 'I can hardly believe this'. She twirled her arm violently in every direction again and again with a big grin on her face. I was then able to share with a very attentive and receptive woman the very Good News of Jesus!

The next day...yesterday, I deliberately went by the Dollar store to see how she was doing. She said, "I slept the whole night through without pain. It's a little sore today but I think that's because I overworked it in my enthusiasm."

Jesus is indeed wonderful and He continues to heal, save, and set-free people right out there in the marketplace.

AN OVERVIEW
Here’s what this incipient move of God, that has begun to touch the Pacific Northwest (Mostly British Columbia and Washington State) currently looks like:

It Is :
1) Outside the 4 Walls
2) Ordinary Christians and Pastors are being used and giving leadership
3) Not Commercialized
4) Quick Obedience
5) A Longing to See Souls Saved
6) Great Grace to Share the Gospel and to “Take it to the streets”
7) An Unusual Amount of Salvations
8) Prayer, Intercession, Crying out For the Lost
9) A Heart of Compassion
10) Signs and Wonders and regular Supernatural Occurrences----(without boasting or promoting the spectacular)


These are ten elements that seem to accompany those who are being led by God here in The Pacific Northwest. This move of God resembles the early Church in that it is out into the neighborhoods, the streets and the marketplace where life is lived every day. God is using ordinary men, women, and children who have surrendered to a "complete dependency on Jesus" and are being led by the Spirit of God. The highest value seems to be "pleasing God," by seeking and reaching the lost. These saints are "not motivated by money," instead are taking great time at personal cost to follow Jesus into what they expect is full-on revival and harvest.

These miracles of harvest are "not exploited" by commercialization. These healings and deliverances seem to be rather numerous and common. The desire not to offend the Holy Spirit by “attempting to own” the glory of miracles has created a childlike simplicity among the laborers. There is no "one man show" or the "man or woman of God" syndrome. Ordinary saints are walking in extraordinary dependence on the Holy Spirit. The gospel is shared in simplicity with what looks like "great grace". Continual prayer is manifesting day and night for this present move of God. The "Agape-love of God" is filling the harvesters so "fear of rejection and fear of man” is giving way to compassion and vision. This compassion brings a deep longing for the most hardened sinners to be healed and saved. Miracles are an everyday event as evidenced by the numbers of "divine appointments" and healings.

Jesus may this report motivate us to see the season is "harvest time" and a very real outpouring of the Holy Spirit is just outside our homes and “right next door.”
Love-----Jesus Style!

Holy Spirit said, “Tell him to start moving his knee.” After he moved his knee 20 times he ran across the road, did some sit ups, did a dance - a jig for the group, and then got his medicine and threw it out” He said, “I don't need it anymore.” He is now planning on going back home soon to witness to his family and his home Village. (He has First Nations background.) Three other people were watching this and gave their hearts to the Lord Jesus too!

My friend said, “Then on Sunday i stood on that corner started to pray and presence of the Lord was there, I spoke out loud, “This corner belongs to Jesus , every demon go and may alcohol taste like poison and drugs be revolting)” Another Muslim person was listening he started to cry , he wanted prayer and made Jesus His Lord .

JUST TODAY

Just this PM my friend, Lance Hollet, and I were in Hillside mall. We came upon an East Indian couple. To make a longer story short. The man has severe arthritis in the knee. He was healed when Lance commanded the arthritis to go but, interestingly, he had to command it 3 times! The East-Indian man gave the healing a very thorough going over and a series of physical test and rejoiced, declaring, “There is no pain, swelling or impairment in any way” Then it was his wife’s turn. She had an incurable damaged muscle in her back; she also had a rib condition that gave her great pain and impeded her sleep greatly. These conditions were ongoing for either 20 years or 10 years, I forget which. Anyway, she too was healed and declared as much after giving her back muscle and rib cage thorough tests and exercises right there in the Mall.
Later, I was passing a dollar store. A lady employee stepped out into the sidewalk and began to reach up to wash a window. Immediately I heard her cry out, "Ow ow, that hurts, that hurts so much! Oh, that is so painful!" I was right beside her so I said, "What's wrong?" She cried out again, "It hurts so much! I have a torn rotator cuff and the Doctor says I must have surgery and I don't want to. It is so painful." I said, "Would it be OK if Jesus heals you right now?" She replied, "Yes definitely the sooner the better. I'm hurting." I said, "Thank you Jesus for this awesome woman. I command the tear in the rotator cuff to be normal and completely healed with no pain, in Jesus name!" Then I said, "Test it out!" You should have seen the expression on her face. It was priceless. As she moved her arm and then began to windmill faster and faster her face expressed surprise, exuberance and joy, like 'I can hardly believe this'. She twirled her arm violently in every direction again and again with a big grin on her face. I was then able to share with a very attentive and receptive woman the very Good News of Jesus!

The next day...yesterday, I deliberately went by the Dollar store to see how she was doing. She said, "I slept the whole night through without pain. It's a little sore today but I think that's because I overworked it in my enthusiasm."

Jesus is indeed wonderful and He continues to heal, save, and set-free people right out there in the marketplace.

AN OVERVIEW
Here’s what this incipient move of God, that has begun to touch the Pacific Northwest (Mostly British Columbia and Washington State) currently looks like:

It Is :
1) Outside the 4 Walls
2) Ordinary Christians and Pastors are being used and giving leadership
3) Not Commercialized
4) Quick Obedience
5) A Longing to See Souls Saved
6) Great Grace to Share the Gospel and to “Take it to the streets”
7) An Unusual Amount of Salvations
8) Prayer, Intercession, Crying out For the Lost
9) A Heart of Compassion
10) Signs and Wonders and regular Supernatural Occurrences----(without boasting or promoting the spectacular)


These are ten elements that seem to accompany those who are being led by God here in The Pacific Northwest. This move of God resembles the early Church in that it is out into the neighborhoods, the streets and the marketplace where life is lived every day. God is using ordinary men, women, and children who have surrendered to a "complete dependency on Jesus" and are being led by the Spirit of God. The highest value seems to be "pleasing God," by seeking and reaching the lost. These saints are "not motivated by money," instead are taking great time at personal cost to follow Jesus into what they expect is full-on revival and harvest.

These miracles of harvest are "not exploited" by commercialization. These healings and deliverances seem to be rather numerous and common. The desire not to offend the Holy Spirit by “attempting to own” the glory of miracles has created a childlike simplicity among the laborers. There is no "one man show" or the "man or woman of God" syndrome. Ordinary saints are walking in extraordinary dependence on the Holy Spirit. The gospel is shared in simplicity with what looks like "great grace". Continual prayer is manifesting day and night for this present move of God. The "Agape-love of God" is filling the harvesters so "fear of rejection and fear of man” is giving way to compassion and vision. This compassion brings a deep longing for the most hardened sinners to be healed and saved. Miracles are an everyday event as evidenced by the numbers of "divine appointments" and healings.

Jesus may this report motivate us to see the season is "harvest time" and a very real outpouring of the Holy Spirit is just outside our homes and “right next door.”

What does this Incipient Outpouring That is Impacting the Northwest Look Like?

What does this Incipient Outpouring That is Impacting the Northwest Look Like?

by Bob Brasset

Recently my friend, Don Pirozok, was with a middle- aged mother and grandmother. Both of these precious ladies have been praying, interceding and absolutely pouring themselves out… seeking a move of God for their region and Country.

My friend, Don, wrote, “When you see these women immediately you are drawn to the visible light shining from their faces-particularly the grandmother. The presence of God seems to accompany her wherever she goes. The grandmother recounted how kids from several neighborhood blocks are being supernaturally drawn to her home to be “saved,” so far about 18 in all. This young grandmother has been in constant prayer often late into the night being led to intercede for the different houses, city blocks and neighborhoods in her area. She also mentioned people in stores are commenting on the unusual “peace” which they feel around her and are being drawn by the presence of God. At times cars have stopped in front of her home and people walking by her house just stop and stand not knowing why they are being drawn to her home. My friend, Don, says, “I am so impacted by what the Holy Spirit is doing in her life.”
MINISTRY IN THE STREETS

Another adventure began when Laurs came with the team to minister in the streets. As the team spread out into different areas of the downtown, Laurs asked the Lord, “Where do I go?” Jesus said to her, “Go where my people are”. So she was led close to where some homeless people were hanging and close to an empty bottle depot.

She came to a junction, the Lord said, “Turn left“. Then she saw a motionless person laying in the street and a lady standing beside him. The lady started waving at her. She cried, “I need a phone to call an ambulance!” And so they did. To assure that person they told him that an ambulance was on the way. The guy did not like the idea. He started to crawl across the road , then he hit his head on the pavement and received a few scratches. They prayed. Finally the ambulance came. The man left in the ambulance.
Fast forward a few days later. There’s the guy again in the streets. Laurs spotted him. He’s now open to the Gospel. He’s with another guy who is Islamic. He spoke in Urdu. My friend, Robert, who was also there understood the language. Robert and Laurs then went and bought them coffee, donuts and pizza. They were so happy and surprised! The Urdu guy gave his life to Jesus and the then 4 others did too. (He had been at first very opposed to the gospel.)
After this another person arrived on the scene, pointed to the first guy and said “he is demonized and needs exorcism “. Robert said, “That’s not a problem. Jesus took lots of demons out of people”. He stretched his hand out and commanded the demon to come out in the name of Jesus. He, who was at first so hostile to gospel, calmed down and accepted Jesus as his Lord, saying, “How come I feel so peaceful. And what just left my body?”

AN IMPAIRED KNEE HEALED

A person’s knee was water logged. He couldn’t t move it and it was swollen badly. He could only limp along in a very stiff fashion. When he saw and heard what was going on, he asked for healing. We said to him, “Do you know that you can have Jesus in your heart and all your sins wiped clean and you can renounce all other Gods?” He accepted Jesus as his Lord. We suggested that he ask Jesus himself for healing, Then Laurs and Robert put their hands on him and started to speak in tongues. Holy Spirit said, “Tell him to start moving his knee.” After he moved his knee 20 times he ran across the road, did some sit ups, did a dance – a jig for the group, and then got his medicine and threw it out” He said, “I don’t need it anymore.” He is now planning on going back home soon to witness to his family and his home Village. (He has First Nations background.) Three other people were watching this and gave their hearts to the Lord Jesus too!

My friend said, “Then on Sunday i stood on that corner started to pray and presence of the Lord was there, I spoke out loud, “This corner belongs to Jesus , every demon go and may alcohol taste like poison and drugs be revolting)” Another Muslim person was listening he started to cry , he wanted prayer and made Jesus His Lord .

A Summary of Prophetic Revelation about the Wave of God

Prophets have been seeing this image of a wave coming from God for decades. Here are some things the prophets are discerning about the wave. This is not an exhaustive list.
§         The wave is a metaphor for a move of God, a revival, a renewal, an outpouring.
§         This is an answer to our prayers. This is what we’ve asked for. This tidal wave is God’s answer to our desperate prayers.
§         We’ve experienced waves in the past. They were small ones, preparations, so that we had the opportunity to not be overwhelmed by the one coming, so we would not respond in fear.
§         The wave (outpouring) that is coming to us will notbe in terms or means that are familiar to us. It will be different than what we’ve experienced before in both kind and degree: it will be a different kind of move of God, and it will be more powerful than what we’ve read about in history or experienced in previous decades.
§         The key to being part of this wave (as opposed to being damaged by it) is Matthew 5:3 (“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”). Unless we are poor in spirit, the Kingdom of Heavenis not ours.
§         The tools that we’ve developed in previous years, whether we’re describing networks or organizations, understandings, giftings, anointings, study tools, even much of our knowledge about God (our “theology”) will not serve us in the coming outpouring. Years of experience in God is not an advantage to being part of this wave.
§         In this wave, signs and wonders will be commonplace, and not considered remarkable. The power of God will be more present in this wave than in the training waves that have come before.
§         The enemy fears this move of God, and will do all he can to distract both saints and sinners from the work of God. There will be more “war against the saints” than there will be “false signs and wonders.”  For those paying attention, it will not be hard to discern the work of God from the work of the devil; fear is not called for. For those who are not paying attention, this discernment will not be the greatest difficulty they face.
§         This wave, this outpouring of God, will not be limited to only a few locations, or only a few meetings. This outpouring will be equally available to individuals inside the churches and individuals outside of them. It will be a mistake to say, “You must come to this meeting, you must do this or that, in order to experience the move of God.”
§         Relationships will be a key in this move of God: relationships with other believers, relationships with community, relationship with God himself. Much of the power and the favor of this outpouring will be through the vehicle of relationships. Guard your relationships.
§         This “tidal wave” outpouring has already begun. Currently, it is hard to see in the natural, like a tidal wave is hard to see in the open ocean, where it’s just a larger-than-average ripple in the surface of the deep. It’s only when it reaches the shore does it rise up and display the power in it, and it has only begun to rise up.
§         Because it is so small, because it is unfamiliar, because we think we’re ready, most people can’t recognize it yet. But our inability to recognize it does not limit the power or breadth of this tidal wave outpouring.
§         We cannot stop the wave, and we can no longer delay it. We cannot escape it. We can only ride with the wave, or we can be overwhelmed by it.
