URGENT:
STRATEGIC, PREVENTATIVE AND PROPHETIC "LINCH PINS" OF PRAYER
FOR THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE
Chad Taylor
Apr 3, 2010
Received and Written Saturday April 3rd, 2010
PRAY FOR THE
STREETS AND SUBWAYS OF LONDON
I saw the labyrinth of underground
subways and tunnels in London. The enemy is saying
or proclaiming, "London bridges falling down,
falling down..." but what the enemy has meant for
evil I have meant for good. Pray for London. Pray for
her churches and pray for her people. Pray for
Southwark and the Southern roads, gates and entrances to
London. Something from beneath the city is going to be
revealed that will bring healing and serve a restorative
purpose and the enemy is trying to prevent it. I saw
the dates of Passover from now, the first week of April,
to England's St. George Day the national day of England
April 23rd, 2010 and to pray specifically Isaiah 58:12
and that destruction would "pass over" London: "And
your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up
the foundations of many generations; you shall be called
the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to
dwell in."
Chad
PRAY FOR
AFGHANISTAN AND A STRATEGIC ARMY BASE
Bagram Airbase became a key point
as the Lord revealed these strategies of prayer.
Pray the plot to destroy a military base in
Afghanistan is averted and many lives are spared.
I saw the date of Israel's Independence April 19th and
Jerusalem Day May 12th as a specific target of the enemy
in this region and adjoining states. I heard the Lord
say, "6 days before and 6 days after pray for
deliverance in Afghanistan." More specifically
I received this scripture to pray over Afghanistan
during this time: "The steadfast love of the Lord never
ceases; mercies never come to an end; they are new every
morning; great is your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23.
I heard the Lord say,
"On the 33rd day of Omer a harvest in the Middle East
will begin for what the devil meant for evil will now be
good and for a harvest!" (May 2nd)
STAND IN THE GAP
FOR THE GAZA STRIP AND ISRAEL
Literally I saw a picture
of a person STANDING IN THE GAP between
Israel and the Gaza Strip. I saw a great hand of prayer
intercepting a bomb; a bomb with great destructive
nature able to destroy a large portion of land and
people. I saw the route it was coming being passed from
person to person - it came South from Egypt
from an underground passageway under the earth. Prayer
was paramount to intercept this attack - PRAY FOR THE
GAZA AND STAND IN THE GAP!
I saw a window of
opportunity for the enemy from the "17th of
Tammuz" until Tisha B'av.
Many of Israel's saddest moments in history were during
this 3 week time between the fast of Tammuz and Av. I
see this time as very prophetic BOTH presently and
historically as a time the enemy deployed and will
deploy his attacks on Israel and her people . It was
during this time that the walls of Jerusalem were
breached and the 1st and 2nd Temple was destroyed and
other calamities. According to Jewish tradition this is
known as "the saddest day in Jerusalem's history..."
This time between June
29th, 2010 and July 20th is a time when the enemy is
plotting destruction not only in Israel but around the
entire world making Israel "ground zero" and to bring a
time of "sadness and destruction". But the power of
prayer can repel this and disarm these long awaited and
targeted attacks from the enemy that reach far back into
history. This is the scripture to pray from now up till
the times mentioned above:
"So shall they fear the name of the
LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the
sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the
Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against
him." Is. 59:19
PRAY AGAINST THE
ENEMIES PLAN IN IRAN AND RAISE UP A STANDARD
I saw a blueprint being unfurled in
Iran for world domination. Even as the enemy unveiled
this plot in Germany during in WWII the same strategy
for world domination was surfacing again in Iran. I
heard this scripture with great clarity, "And to
the angel of the church in Pergamos write, These things
says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: “I know your
works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is..."
Revelation 2:12-13. A seat of satan's
authority was being established in Iran and only
targeted and sustained prayer could usurp it.
I saw a window of strategy and
prayer opened up between now and the "Fast of
Gedaliah" Sept. 12th, that precedes the Jewish
new year. Gedaliah saved the life of
the prophet Jeremiah and was a "intercessor" for Israel
in a very crucial point in biblical history. I see this
date in 2010 as a point of God's salvation again for the
people of God in Iran, Israel and the world; God's
prevention of the enemies destructive plots and plans
through our prayers. It is also a time to receive God's
wisdom and pray with great accuracy and power for the
nations, governments, and kings of the earth that will
result in a historic coup d’état of the enemies plans in
key places in the earth. The scripture to pray during
this time that will carry with it great anointing and
power is the prayer of David found in Psalm 2:8 - it
will act not only as a commissioning prayer but a
preventative prayer: "Ask of
Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession."
POINTS OF PRAYER AND
STRATEGY IN REVIEW:
- 33rd Day of Omer May 2nd, 2010
will be a day to pray for harvest in the Middle East and
the world
- Between June 29th & July 20th
the 17th of Tummuz and Tisha B'av that the enemies
plots on Israel would be disarmed and ultimately many
would be saved in Christ.
- Sept. 12th during the "Fast of
Gedaliah" that God's wisdom, mercy and power would
prevail in the Iran and the world.
- Pray for London and England
during Passover through St. George Day April 23rd
- Pray Ps. 2:8 over the nations
mentioned and the world: "Ask of Me, and I
will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession."

Women's
Aglow: The Spark that Lit the Flame
by Chad Taylor
** This year I was invited to speak at three Women's Aglow meetings
in Central California (this was my first time speaking at any Aglow
meetings). During the meetings I heard such a clarion word from the Lord
for their ministry, thus the title to this prophecy/article. It is a
mighty crescendo for ministries such as Women's Aglow as their complete
destiny comes into the crosshairs of God's impeccable timing and will.
The Esther Factor, The Gallows, Will Now Be Their Gain
"As calamity and international intrigue continues to rise and men's
hearts fail because of fear (Luke
21:26),
a secret weapon is about to be launched as in the days of old," says
the Lord. "Even as I kept Esther hidden until the moment of
Israel's crisis, so have I hidden another. For in this generation an
anointing is resident in My handmaidens that will soon
crush satan under their feet (Romans
16:20).
For I will cause an authority to rise within their
ranks that will usurp the leviathan and open the ancient gates. For in
this hour those that have remained faithful to My call shall be the
spark that lights the flame. Though they have diminished in
number and many have wagged their heads and exclaimed, 'What will come
of them?' Now will they rise up in rank and number and lead My army into
battle. Their anthem will be, 'The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!'" (Judges
7:18).
The Promise Keeper Was Only a Seed...Now it's Time to Give Birth!
"Even as other movements have garnered the attention of kings and
presidents and one million was their mark, I tell you that you will
exceed these numbers as a double portion of favor and power with God and
with men comes upon you (Genesis
32:28).
"Laws and legislation will be swayed as the sheer
numbers of those that rally with you fill the city streets and converge
on the epicenters of the world. You will be a force to be reckoned with
as these ministries that are even now established on the earth begin to
prevail. Previous ministries before you and those that currently abide
with you were merely the seed that was sown. Now the time of increase
and birth has come.
"Your prevailing prayers as you converge on capitol
cities of the world will conceive results that will be
staggering. That magnitude of impact will translate entire regions out
of darkness into My Kingdom in hours and days
(Colossians 1:13). Nations will be born in a day."
Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth
be made to bring forth in one day or shall a nation be born at once? For
as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.—Isaiah 66:8
Look to the Olympics in 2010 - the Women Will Prevail!
"For even in the secular realm and the fields of competition, this
anointing will be clearly seen as records and standards are
broken. An anointing to prevail shall be upon My handmaidens, and like
Miriam they will dance on the fields of victory and triumph of every
sort and kind (Exodus
15:20). This anointing will saturate and permeate existing realms
and many that have been broken and shunned will suddenly find favor.
"Present doctrine that has quenched the spirit of My handmaidens shall
be overturned and the pervasiveness of it will now fall away. Many women
will be unmasked as this anointing overturns centuries of dogma that has
kept them hidden and enslaved. Watch and see if this is not the spark
that lit the flame," says
the Lord!
"As the gun of grace goes off these ministries will explode from the
blocks and canopy the world with My fire. They will be trailblazers of a
new era and season as the nations are steered into My heart and plan. The
race has begun."
...let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her
closet...—Joel 2:16
The Vision of the Sparks and the Hand of the Lord
A clear and present vision followed this word. I saw the hand of the
Lord unfurl from a clenched fist and inside were bright burning sparks.
As I looked at this site before Me the face of the Lord leaned toward
the sparks and He blew on them. These sparks went from His Hand into the
nations of the earth. I could see a few of the sparks as they landed in Australia,
New Zealand, Holland, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Canada and the United States.
Many more were caught in the winds of the Holy Spirit and were carried
to divers and sundry places throughout the planet, burning and igniting
as they hit. I heard the Spirit of the Lord say:
"These are my end time ministries; my end time handmaidens and they are
much different than many would suspect. They will be like Esther was to
My enemies, and the gallows will become the catapult to bring them
before kings and queens. The very thing that came against them shall now
become the means to which I bring them to the uttermost parts of the
earth."
My Bride Will Be Found in the Harvest Field, Not the Dressing Room
"They that presently desire to be intimate with Me will find their
threshing floor; their harvest field."
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and
glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she
said unto her, Go, my daughter. And she went, and came, and gleaned in
the field after the reapers...—Ruth 2:2-3
"For surely the beginning of My harvest has come and
those called out will find Me in the field as Ruth found Boaz. Who can
hear for the time to come?"says
the Lord. "Who can hear for the time to come?"
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with
her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to
Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.—Ruth 1:22
"For those called in this hour will be My Bride running from the
dressing room into the threshing floor and they will find their
inheritance there (Psalm
2:8). The trumpet is now sounding."

THE
SECRET STATES ARE
NOW “A STATE OF THE
UNION”
As we
were crisscrossing
the nation twice in
one week I began to
see different states
and present
spiritual insights
often not seen when
flying overhead. As
we spent many hours
passing through the
vast state of
Wyoming I heard this
statement from the
Lord numerous times,
“THE SECRET STATES
ARE NOW A STATE OF
THE UNION!".
These
“Secret States” or
states of this
nation that are
often forgotten and
lower in population
density Montana,
Wyoming, North and
South Dakota are
becoming God’s
“STATE OF THE
UNION”. From
these overlooked and
often less desirable
states is about to
come strategy that
will solve many of
this nation’s
dilemmas such as
oil, energy, and
space. Like
Solomon’s Stables
resources are biting
at the bit so to
speak to be released
and are soon to leap
from the stalls. At
the Wedding of Cana
God has saved His
best for last.
WYOMING A WATERSHED
OF GOD’S GRACE
A
place historically
known for its wild
frontier and
sprawling landscape
is a hidden geyser
of God’s resources. It
will one day rival
any other source of
oil in this nation. Pipe
lines of oil will
stretch from Wyoming
to as far away as
Texas providing
energy to many
foreign countries. This
“Quad-State” of
massive reserve
Montana, Wyoming,
North and South
Dakota will become a
hub of massive
resource and global
energy. It
will also be
transformed from an
unlikely place for
people to live into
a booming Mecca of
employment and
provision.
MONTANA A MOUNAIN OF
WORSHIP AND WARFARE
In
the state of Montana
a union between
worship and warfare
will be established
that will be fuel
for the fire of
industry and
breakthrough. A
warlike spirit of
intercession will
rise up defying
modern trends of
passivity and
pleasure that is
often oblivious to
the sudden shifts in
the Spirit. The
lines of demarcation
will be clear as
Montana takes flight
from the fields of
obscurity to set the
next precedent for
worship, prophecy
and prosperity. Missions
will be set in
motion on a global
scale from these 4
states setting the
standard for years
to come.
NORTH
DAKOTA AN OUTPOST OF
WORLD MISSIONS
As
the economic and
spiritual landscape
shifts North Dakota
will emerge as an
end-time powerhouse
of resourcefulness. With
Joseph like
qualities North
Dakota will help
steer the nation in
famine and crisis. A
compulsion for
divine compassion
will be the
spiritual rudder
driving her to the
uttermost parts of
the earth. An
international
identity will emerge
as commerce and
trade become common
place. A
bridge to Asia and
the Middle East will
be built creating a
trans-pacific jet
stream of spiritual
renewal and
industry. The day
of your visitation
has dawned.
SOUTH
DAKOTA GOD’S SECRET
PLACE REVEALED
National attention
will mount as this
hidden state becomes
a pearl of great
price. Its
stock and value
shall rise
exponentially as
commerce and trade
increase. For
in these places they
will say “It’s an
anomaly” who can
explain it? Who
could have predicted
it? For
in the very places
that were overlooked
will now become an
epicenter in some
locations even over
night. As
the Railroad blazed
a trail through
these states in its
history so will the
future be marked by
groundbreaking
moments in travel
and export. Speed
and efficiency shall
be common place in
Montana, Wyoming,
North Dakota and
South Dakota. THE
SECRET STATES ARE
NOW A STATE OF THE
UNION!
GOD'S DOROTHY AND
THE CHURCH'S OZ: THE
LONG ROAD TO REALITY
by Chad Taylor
Jun 25, 2009
I n the original book
by L. Frank Baum
"The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz"
published in 1900,
the "wizard" appears
to each of the
characters
differently or is at
least perceived
differently. To
Dorothy, the Wizard
is a giant head; the
Scarecrow sees a
beautiful woman; the
Tin Woodman sees a
ravenous beast; the
Cowardly Lion sees a
ball of fire. Each
one sees exactly
what they want to
see but they all
fail to see who the
"wizard" really is -
a fake. He is not
the "Great Oz" at
all, but an old man
that travelled
before them in a hot
air balloon. The
burning desire to
reach their
destination obscured
reality and drove
them to see what
they only wanted to
see. Once reality
came crashing down
they were forced to
continue their
journey without the
mirage of smoke and
mirrors and special
effects. They now
had to accept the
truth that what they
were so desperately
seeking for their
own self-fulfillment
is exactly what they
already had in the
first place. Today,
the current wide
spread movement with
it's promises of
grand spiritual
experiences has
become a "The
Emerald City" or
"City of Emeralds"
found in Baum's
novel. We have
become the Tin Man,
the Scarecrow, the
Cowardly Lion. Our
desire for something
more than what
already is has led
us down a yellow
brick road of false
experiences and
sleight of hand. The
truth however is
just the opposite,
it is a world in
deep need of a
Savior and His
matchless salvation
recorded centuries
ago and bound in
Scripture. It is a
Church that needs to
navigate back to the
shores of reality no
matter how far she
has drifted and
anchor again in the
bedrock of biblical
truth and light.
Gone it seems is the
day that it was more
popular to be a
suffering Christian
than a satisfied
one. When Hebrews
Chp. 11 was read it
was with awe and
admiration as we saw
firsthand from the
sidelines of history
those that embraced
the ultimate call -
their life for
Christs'. To them it
was a guarantee of a
"better
resurrection" not an
easier one.
They were a rare
breed that garnered
the incredible title
of,
"whom the world
was not worthy".
"Destitute,
afflicted, and
tormented" were
not taboo but medals
of honor on
the breastplate of
these historic
Christians.
Today, personalities
and personas are
heaped upon us to
such an extent we
have
created icons out
of Branham's and
Allen's who in the
end, were left with
shame and tragedy;
misguided and
disillusioned. Would
you rather don the
mantle of mistakes
or the humble attire
of martyrs and
missionaries?
Surprisingly most
today would chose
the
latter. Dissipating
it seems are the
days when it was
more esteemed to be
a Jim Elliot who
gave his life on the
frontlines of
violent mission
fields or even a
Hudson Taylor who
poured his life
out on the daunting
shores of dark China
with no accolades or
conference
invitations. His
epitaph should have
read,
"To live
is Christ and to die
is gain..."
Paul the Apostle's
day the greatest
honor was to suffer.
Power was not handed
out on a "fast
track" or a
conference line, a
catered lunch
buffet, or some
other surreal
spiritual experience
the reality was a
holy invitation to
the gauntlet of
suffering and
persecution which
Paul wore well. The
greatest joy in the
Bible was discovered
in suffering!
It was not a last
ditch option on the
ladder of revelation
but rather the
opposite - it was
the first step into
any genuine
experience with God.
Suffering and
self-denial was the
undertow of
everything that
Jesus spoke and did
and it sliced
through the enamored
crowds like butter.
It was the
only precursor to
really following
Jesus and to be His
disciple,
"If any man
will come after me,
let him deny
himself, and take up
his cross daily, and
follow me."
(Luke 9:23) It
was not a loudly
claimed "third
heaven experience"
or floating orbs in
a Kodak snapshot
that qualified you
to be His disciple.
It was rather a
self-denying life of
less privilege but
more power to change
the very world you
lived in and salvage
human souls.
"If any
man will come after
Me, let him deny
himself..."
What follows this
self denial?
"...and take up his
cross daily, and
follow me."
A cross is not a
life absent of
suffering or trial
but rather a
staggering choice
every Christian must
make to suffer and
meet trials and
tribulation head on.
You cannot "go after
Him" unless you are
completely willing
to "suffer with
Him."
As this paradox
lives itself
out in the
Christian's life
a power and
glory is
released that is
unprecedented.
Today a facade
affronts us at
every turn
alluring us in
it's claims of
angels, gold
dust
and jewels. Finally,
like Hansel and
Gretel the
Church has
become a
candy-coated
house filled
with every
indulgence and
flavor.
Witchcraft has
seduced
multitudes into
a hypnotic false
peace as the
world teeters on
the brink of
utter
destruction.
Just as the
story of Hansel
and Gretel the
witch lures the
children into
the Gingerbread
House with all
of it's candy
and sweets only
to trick them
and ultimately
try to eat them
herself. The devil
comes to kill,
rob and destroy
the true message
of Jesus Christ
replacing it
with "another
gospel".
The preaching of
God's Kingdom in
America is an
endangered
species in a
Jurassic Park of
bloated promises
and
exaggerated experiences
leaving millions
ignorant of the
Suffering Christ
and His message
of true
salvation. It's
hard to be with
the "least of
these" when air
conditioned
cruise ships
with grandiose
promises of His
presence is your
alternative.
Paul the
Apostle's
revelation of
Jesus was
staggering as he
recorded these
words,
"Though he were
a Son, yet
learned he
obedience by the
things which he
suffered..."
(Heb 5:8)
THE DOCTRINE OF
MANTLES: THE "OZ
EFFECT"
Like the
characters in
the "Wizard of
Oz" we too are
seeking
desperately for
"gifts" or
attributes we
perceive our
spirituality to
be unbearable
without.
The veils of
deception appear
"holy" as the
face of false
spiritual
experiences
parade behind
the curtain
claiming to be
something it is
not. Like the
old
man perpetrating
to be "The Great
One" there is
nothing that he
can offer except
what we perceive
he can. He
offers hearts,
brains and
courage but the
reality is it
is moth eaten
dreams in a
closet of man
made mantles.
Modern movements
of our day seem
to have a closet
full of these
for the taking
as they defer to
doctrines of men
and not God.
Paul exhorted
the early Church
to "put on
Christ". "For
as many of you
as have been
baptized into
Christ have put
on Christ."
(Gal 3:27). He
went even
further to
enforce this
when he
confronted this
doctrine in the
city of Corinth,
"Now this I
say, that every
one of you
saith, I am of
Paul; and I of
Apollos; and I
of Cephas; and I
of Christ. Is
Christ divided?
was Paul
crucified for
you? or were ye
baptized in the
name of Paul?"
(1 Cor 1:12-13).
Who then is
Branham and who
is Kuhlman and
who is Lake? Who
is Allen and
Dowie?
Many of these
modern day
Christian icons
died in complete
deception often
believing they
were "Elijah" or
some other
biblical
character. Many
of these
doctrines have
found there way
into the
Christian
mainstream again
as thousands
follow the
yellow brick
road of false
promises for a
"mantle" or
anointing.
Zion, Illinois
founded by John
Alexander Dowie
was a not a
Christian
institution of
divine
inspiration but
rather a seed
bed of
disillusionment
that became an
Emerald City of
false hope. A
good intentioned
man fell off the
cliff of egotism
and false
doctrine
claiming to be
"Elijah the
Restorer"
founding the
"Christian
Catholic
Church". Have we
changed much
today?
Rather than "put
on Christ" and
His anointing we
offer the
mantles of men
before the
masses and like
"The Wizard of
Oz" we
hide behind
curtains
promising this
and that. In the
stark streets of
the world these
names mean
nothing, their
triumphs and
defeats are mere
echoes to the
One who died and
rose again.
In the Muslim
backdrop of the
Middle East
promises of
mantles and
mysterious
anointing of Etter,
McPherson, or
Kuhlman will
have no effect;
your only answer
in a maelstrom
of death and
persecution will
be the Name
above all names-
Jesus Christ.
"Neither is
there salvation
in any other:
for there is
none other name
under heaven
given among men,
whereby we must
be saved."
(Acts 4:13). The
doctrine of
mantles is on
shifting sand
and is a mirage
to the true
Glory of God
found only in
Christ Jesus .
The trumpeting
of this message
will soon fall
on deaf ears as
an army of
disciples take
center stage who
have learned to
worship God in
"Spirit and in
Truth". Read
further in the
Gospel of Luke,
"for that
which is highly
esteemed among
men is
abomination in
the sight of
God." (Luke
16:15).
The "Oz Effect"
is dimming and
the necessity of
Jesus Christ
will prevail and
His anointing
and Spirit will
be enough.
A "WONDERLAND"
OR GOD'S
KINGDOM?
The milk of
self-indulgence
and Christian
pleasure has
hypnotized many
into a dream
world of
fixations, fake
visitations and
a slide show of
special effects
that have left
the crowds numb
with false
expectation. The
modern day
minister has
become the "Mad
Hatter" with
endless
innuendos of
glory and power
that is never on
the
radar of altering
the state of the
real world
around them.
Like a gaudy
B-rated movie
that promised a
blockbuster
showing but in
the end is a
cheap seat in a
dark theatre of
men's
imagination.
Jesus is not the
leading role in
this production
rather a million
manifestations
marching to the
beat of a
strange drum
have taken
center stage.
Scripture is so
misconstrued
it's difficult
to discern fact
from fiction as
this science
experiment gone
wrong is
unveiled. A
Frankenstein of
doctrine
is unfurled with
incomprehensible
side effects as
Jesus is left on
the afterburner
of this modern
jet stream
claiming to be
prophetic. Yet
behind the
scenes is
stirring a roar
about to be
heard above the
din
of imaginations
and idolatry;
another company
of "Jesus
Freaks",
martyrs, and
modern day
missionaries. They
will have the
doctrine of
Jesus Christ,
the King of
Kings and Lord
of Lords. They
comprehend as
all the saints
that stood
before them that
He alone is Way,
the Truth and
the Life; there
is no other
conceivable way
into God's
Kingdom but
through Him.
They will refuse
to eat
the candy and
dainties of
present "kings
and kingdoms"
but will be
catapulted past
the
dispensationalist
into a real
genuine Christ
experience.
Rather than
follow the
"white rabbit"
of current
movements that
lead down a
endless hole of
strange
experiences they
will stand
strong on the
foundation of
Jesus Christ.
The vision of
harvest that
Jesus
illustrated will
be their
mainstay as they
crash down on
the shores of
every living
creature and
Preach His
Gospel. They
will be a church
mature and grown
up. They will
desire the bone
and marrow of
His purpose
rather than the
watered down
milk of pleasure
and wantonness.
"For when
for the time ye
ought to be
teachers, ye
have need that
one teach you
again which be
the first
principles of
the oracles of
God; and are
become such as
have need of
milk, and not of
strong meat. For
every one that
useth milk is
unskillful in
the word of
righteousness:
for he is a
babe..."
(Heb 5:12-13).
They will have
the diet of
their Master -
"Jesus
saith unto them,
My meat is to do
the will of him
that sent me,
and to finish
his work..."
What is His
work?!
Read the
following
passage, "Say
not ye, There
are yet four
months, and then
cometh harvest?
behold, I say
unto you, Lift
up your eyes,
and look on the
fields; for they
are white
already to
harvest..."
(John 4:35).
This army coming
now to the front
and center will
have one driving
passion and
purpose,
TO FINISH
HIS WORK.
"And this
gospel of the
kingdom shall be
preached in all
the world for a
witness unto all
nations; and
then shall the
end come."
(Matt 24:14).
They will
conclude that
the only way
"home" is to get
past the
vernacular of
their day and
into the Kingdom
of God. To
"seek first His
Kingdom" will be
an all
consuming compulsion
moving them into
the deep waters
of spiritual
transformation.
PASSION FOR
PLEASURE: THE
TRAGIC EXCHANGE
The road to
glory is not
paved with good
intentions and
false promises
but rather a
place of
splendid
suffering where
Christ is
revealed in us,
"the hope of
glory". Let's
pray then that
we are those
"Jesus Freaks",
modern day
martyrs and a
Church that has
matured no
longer
influenced by
the infantile
teaching of our
day. Let's
follow the steps
of Jesus and
the rare
company of missionaries
who gave their
own blood,
families,
desires and
appetites to a
greater cause
and refused to
be a casualty of
dispensation.
Let's heed the
words of another
martyr as we
race against the
clock as our
present age
gallops to the
finish line, "I
no longer depend
on pleasant
impulses to
bring me before
the Lord. I must
rather respond
to principles I
know to be
right, whether I
feel them to be
enjoyable or
not..." (Jim
Elliot 1927 -
1956.) Jesus'
passion is still
the gospel
preached to the
poor, the
captives and
prisoner. What
is ours?
Ask the Lord now
to remove the
shadows of
shifting
pleasure dressed
in a spiritual
affront that has
eclipsed the
real Light and
Truth and His
love will pierce
the darkness.
You will return
"home" to a
gospel according
to Jesus and
reignite your
first love.
Clear the table
of books, c.d.'s
and the mountain
of distraction
and reintroduce
yourself to a
harvest bursting
from the ground
around you. The
gravity of
conferences and
the "wonderland"
of spiritual
experiences will
not intoxicate
your senses any
longer, you will
be on fire with
new purpose and
wisdom.
"And Jesus
answered and
said, Verily I
say unto you,
There is no man
that hath left
house, or
brethren, or
sisters, or
father, or
mother, or wife,
or children, or
lands, for my
sake, and the
gospel's, But he
shall receive an
hundredfold now
in this time,
houses, and
brethren, and
sisters, and
mothers, and
children, and
lands, with
persecutions;
and in the world
to come eternal
life. But
many that are
first shall be
last; and the
last first..."
(Mark 10:29-31).

THE SWINE FLU
PROPHECY AND PENDING
EVENTS
by Chad Taylor
May 13th, 2009
"And there
was there an
herd of many
swine
feeding on
the
mountain:
and they
besought him
that he
would suffer
them to
enter into
them. And he
suffered
them. Then
went the
devils out
of the man,
and entered
into the
swine: and
the herd ran
violently
down a steep
place into
the lake,
and were
choked..."
(Luke
8:32-33).
During a
prophetic
worship
session on
our recent 5
city tour in
Southern
Oregon and
Northern
California a
very
peculiar
word came
forth during
the extended
worship. I
began to the
hear the
Lord booming
in my Spirit
and I began
to publicly
prophesy as
the music
continued,
"Do you see
this swine
flu as swine
infect human
beings? But
I tell you
tonight it's
the swine
that should
be infected
with our
deliverance!
It's the
swine that
should be
infected
with our
deliverance
and disease!
When Legion
was
delivered
from his
demons it
was the
swine that
carried his
demons over
the cliff
and
perished;
you will see
a sign and a
wonder as a
great wave
of
deliverance
hits the
earth. Even
as the enemy
has used the
swine to
infect
humans so I
say to you
now just the
opposite
will happen
in the
Spirit!"
The
scripture in
Luke became
paramount as
this word
was being
declared,
"Then went
the devils
out of the
man, and
entered into
the swine:
and the herd
ran
violently
down a steep
place into
the lake,
and were
choked..."
It was not
happenchance
in Jewish
culture that
the demons
went into
the swine
and
perished. In
God's Law
swine were
unclean and
were
forbidden to
eat or
touch. (Lev.
11:7). Later
becoming the
vessels of
which
Legion's
demons came
out and
driven off
the ledge to
perish. The
very object
of this
current
global
crisis was a
sign of
deliverance
and freedom
in biblical
proportions.
THE POWER OF
OPPOSITES:
THE JOSEPH
FACTOR
There is
much to
comprehend
in this
short
scripture in
Luke chp. 8.
The demons
begged Jesus
to suffer
them to
enter the
swine -
which He
did. "Then
went out the
devils from
the man..."
The unclean
spirits went
into the
unclean
animals and
both
perished in
the sea. As
these events
unfold
around the
world there
is a
spiritual
dynamic
taking
place. The
Spirit of
the Lord is
being
released
during this
time to
bring
deliverance
to nations
that are in
great
political,
social, and
spiritual
peril.
Mexico has
been gripped
in a deadly
drug war as
the
government
desperately
attempts to
regain some
semblance of
moral
control.
Drug Lords
and their
henchmen are
fighting
ruthlessly
against any
moral and
spiritual
change.
Ultimately
the Spirit
of
Deliverance
is being
poured out
upon Mexico.
In the
spiritual
landscape of
polar
opposites we
see the
origins of
what the
world is
calling the
"swine flu".
In God's
providence
it is a
divine set
up to lead
millions
into
salvation
and
deliverance.
In such a
historic
moment the
Joseph
factor comes
into play.
Prayerfully
and
earnestly
read the
following
scripture
and promise
and apply it
to these
current
events:
"But as for
you, you
thought evil
against me;
but God
meant it
unto good,
to bring to
pass, as it
is this day,
to save much
people
alive." (Gen
50:20).
The end
result in
God's plan
was not to
bring death
and
destruction
but rather
to "save
much people
alive". The
law of
spiritual
opposites
begin to
play out in
the earth.
What the
devil meant
for evil
God's final
intent is to
make it
good. in a
time of
global
famine the
will of God
prevailed
and raised
up a people
to "open all
the
storehouses"
and bring
deliverance
to the
nation. You
see, this
current
crisis is
really the
divine stage
set for the
"Josephs" or
the
deliverers
to take
center stage
and SHINE;
a unparalleled
time to lead
millions to
Jesus Christ
and His
salvation.
The power of
the Cross
and the
Gospel
become
second to
none in
grave times
such as
these. As
what appears
to be evil
sweeps the
globe it
also acts as
a spiritual
siege
crashing in
the doors of
resistance
making way
for the
preaching of
the Gospel,
healing and
deliverance.
"And we know
that all
things work
together for
good to them
that love
God, to them
who are the
called
according to
his
purpose..."
(Rom 8:28)
THE SWINE
ARE ONLY A
SIGN OF
PENDING
REVIVAL
And when he
had spent
all, there
arose a
mighty
famine in
that land;
and he began
to be in
want. And he
went and
joined
himself to a
citizen of
that
country; and
he sent him
into his
fields to
feed swine.
And he would
fain have
filled his
belly with
the husks
that the
swine did
eat: and no
man gave
unto him.
And when he
came to
himself, he
said, How
many hired
servants of
my father's
have bread
enough and
to spare,
and I perish
with hunger!
I will arise
and go to my
father, and
will say
unto him,
Father, I
have sinned
against
heaven, and
before thee,
And am no
more worthy
to be called
thy son:
make me as
one of thy
hired
servants.
And he
arose, and
came to his
father..."
(Luke
15:14-20).
The swine
were the
final
"curtain
call" for
the revival
to follow as
the prodigal
son returned
home. As we
face famine,
pandemic,
floods,
fires and
all other
sort of
peril could
it be any
other
outcome than
what we read
in the
Gospel?
Could it be
a great
coming home
is on the
horizon as
millions
return to
Jesus in the
backdrop of
epic peril?
On the
scriptural
landscape
this was
exactly what
occurred.
"And he
arose, and
came to his
father..."
This
"arising" is
recorded in
other
prophetic
moments in
the bible as
well,
"Arise,
shine; for
thy light is
come, and
the glory of
the LORD is
risen upon
thee. For,
behold, the
darkness
shall cover
the earth,
and gross
darkness the
people: but
the LORD
shall arise
upon thee,
and his
glory shall
be seen upon
thee." (Isa
60:1-2) As
this current
crisis
continues it
will only be
a line of
demarcation
for revival
as nations
such as
Mexico are
prepared for
sweeping
revival.
Where you
see the
swine,
remember it
is SIGN of
revival soon
to follow.
"And when he
was come
into the
ship, he
that had
been
possessed
with the
devil prayed
him that he
might be
with him.
Howbeit
Jesus
suffered him
not, but
saith unto
him, Go home
to thy
friends, and
tell them
how great
things the
Lord hath
done for
thee, and
hath had
compassion
on thee. And
he departed,
and began to
publish in
Decapolis
how great
things Jesus
had done for
him: and all
men did
marvel..."
(Mark
5:18-20).
MOSES IN THE
WILDERNESS
AND THE
PREACHING OF
THE CROSS
And the LORD
said unto
Moses, Make
thee a fiery
serpent, and
set it upon
a pole: and
it shall
come to
pass, that
every one
that is
bitten, when
he looketh
upon it,
shall live.
And Moses
made a
serpent of
brass, and
put it upon
a pole, and
it came to
pass, that
if a serpent
had bitten
any man,
when he
beheld the
serpent of
brass, he
lived." (Num
21:8-9). The
very thing
that was
"meant for
evil" now
became a
symbol of
deliverance
as Moses
lifted up
the bronze
serpent in
the
wilderness.
In the same
way the
preaching of
the Gospel
is now more
crucial than
ever as evil
runs
rampant.
Nations that
have been
resistant
and violent
toward the
message of
Jesus will
now look to
Him as their
only hope.
If there has
ever been a
time to
return to
the
"preaching
of the
cross" it is
right now as
a global
stage is set
to bring
deliverance,
healing and
salvation.
"For the
preaching of
the cross is
to them that
perish
foolishness;
but unto us
which are
saved it is
the power of
God." (1 Cor
1:18).
This will be
a crossroads
for
the world
wide church
as well as
it is faced
with
unprecedented
crisis and
fear and
turn to the
only viable
answer, "The
preaching of
the Cross."
It will
become to us
and the
world around
us "the
Power of
God" like no
other time.
in places
such as
Mexico City
what was
once a place
of deep
opposition
to change
are
transformed
into a
divine stage
of massive
healing and
deliverance
as "the
devils went
out of the
man, and
entered into
the
swine..."
The day of
the
evangelist
has returned
as a Spirit
of
deliverance
and
salvation is
poured out
on all
flesh. In
this crisis
it is our
shining
hour. "And
as Moses
lifted up
the serpent
in the
wilderness,
even so must
the Son of
man be
lifted up:
That
whosoever
believeth in
him should
not perish,
but have
eternal
life." (John
3:14-15).
THE BLOOD
BATH IN
MEXICO WILL
BECOME BLOOD
ON THE DOOR
POSTS
And they
shall take
of the
blood, and
strike it on
the two side
posts and on
the upper
door post of
the
houses..."
(Ex 12:7) In
Egypt many
people
perished and
yet God's
Passover was
instituted
and more
were saved.
In Mexico as
the very
moral fabric
seems to be
tearing
apart a time
of
"Passover"
will occur.
Many cities,
villages and
regions will
become
places of
salvation
and great
deliverance.
Key leaders
even as the
Pharaoh did
in Egypt
shall
relinquish
their
control over
the people
and secede
from
darkness to
the Lord.
Entire
regions will
beseech
ministries
to come and
preach the
gospel as
their only
recourse in
famine, flu
and
violence.
Jesus will
be lifted
up!
Many of
these events
will not be
publicized
as mighty
miracles
raise the
dead at a
rate
incomparable
in modern
history in
areas
plagued by
current
crisis'. In
other cities
it will be
published on
television
channels and
every means
of
communication sounding something
like this
"prayer
and
preaching
will occur
and such and
such
location...city
sanctioned
prayer
meeting
today at
12pm..."
It will
become even
mandatory
that entire
regions
attend these
meetings to
stem the
sickness and
disease.
Virtually
unknown
evangelists
will be
harbingers
of great
hope and
power as the
Cross of
Jesus Christ
is preached.
Great
evangelists
of the past
will be
replicated a
thousand-fold
as entire
cities
become
center-stage
of
grassroots
revival
overflowing
into every
public place
with the
sheer
expectation
of what God
will do
next. Many
ministers
who have
faded from
the public
eye will now
be thrust
back into
the
frontlines
reenlisted
as God makes
a world wide
call to arms
to "fight
the good
fight of
faith.
Remember,
"The Swine
are only a
sign of
pending
revival..."

PREEMINENT AND PREEMPTIVE PROPHECIES AS
HISTORY UNFOLDS: ALBUQUERQUE AND
BISMARCK ND
by Chad Taylor
ALBUQUERQUE, NM.: GROUND ZERO
 At
a prophetic conference in Albuquerque,
NM during a intense moment in worship a
profound insight into the history of the
city and the United States was revealed.
As I began to prophesy it was like
a covert well of critical information
was uncapped. I began to prophesy,
"Something covert, in the night!
Something under cover in secret was done
in this city. It brought a anti-Semitic
spirit and has cursed the region and
even the state of New Mexico.
Something was done in secret like Judas
for his 30 pieces of silver. In
1944, 1945, 1946 something was done in
this city in secret under the cover of
the night. The Lord is revealing
it now that this curse can be broken. It
brought a anti-Semitic spirit into this
state..." The prophesy continued
for several more minutes as the Lord was
breaking up fallow ground of historic
relevance that we would later learn
was paramount for breakthrough in
Albuquerque and the state. The
following day a native of New Mexico
brought me some profound information she
had researched and printed up. I
was flabbergasted. It was common
history to many or at least it was known
history, but the dates, locations and
background were astounding in light of
the previous nights prophecy.
Julius Rosenberg was the
son of a Polish garment worker living on
New York's Lower East Side.
Julius's success in the study of Hebrew
led many to believe he would
later become a Rabbi. However, by
the age of 16 he was a committed member
of the New York City College's Young
Communist League. Later marrying Ethel
and in the fall of 1940 he took a job as
a civilian employee of the U. S. Army
Signal Corps. Late in 1943 Julius
Rosenberg began his espionage against
the United State of America during the
World War. Rosenberg began to contact
key individuals that would be necessary
to infiltrate the Los Alamos base where
the nuclear bomb was being constructed.
What is now known from popular movies
and history as the
"Manhattan Project".
Rosenberg's brother-in-law David
Greenglass was assigned to work as a
soldier-machinist in Los Alamos and the
dark secrets and espionage began which
would lead to treason and
death. Greenglass prepared handwritten
notes and sketches relating to a
high-explosive lens mold being developed
in a Los Alamos laboratory .
Twice in
1945 a British
physicist named Fuchs met with a Soviet
agent named "Raymond" and provided notes
on the working design for the atomic
bomb. By June 1, authorities knew of a
soldier, stationed at Los Alamos,
married with no children, who
Gold or code name "Raymond" paid
$500 to in September of 1945 in
Albuquerque in exchange
for information about the implosion lens
for the atomic bomb. This soldier was
none other than the brother-in-law of
Julius Rosenberg - David
Greenglass. In 1997, Alexsandr
Feklisov, Rosenberg's Soviet control
came forward to describe his meetings
with Julius in the 1940's. Julius
and Ethel Rosenberg were executed
shortly after 8 p.m. in Sing-Sing Prison
on June 19, 1953...
After this information
was revealed during the Saturday evening
session at Glory Bound Church in
Albuquerque we began to declare a
breakthrough and healing from these
climatic historic events. The
Rosenberg's were both Jewish which
consequently resulted in a anti-Semitic
spirit to take root in New
Mexico fostering racism, poverty, and
violence. Prophecy is truly a
"two-edge sword" and can be wielded
against strongholds and curses that the
Holy Spirit reveals as a result of
travesties in the past. Judas
Iscariot also acted in espionage against
Jesus for a mere 30 pieces of silver
which resulted in the purchasing of the
"Potter's Field" after his own death by
the Jewish priests. "And after
they had consulted together, they bought
with them the potter's field, to be a
burying place for strangers. For this
the field was called Haceldama, that is,
the field of blood, even to this
day..." (Matt. 27:3-8).
A spirit of rejection and
abandonment is the consequences of a
"Potter's Field" in the earth. It
becomes, "a burying place of
strangers. The field of blood, even to
this day..." Do you have a
"Potter's Field" in your city? Is
their secrets and broken promises just
under the surface of your history?
Chances are, yes. This is why
entire regions, states, and territories
are bemoaning under spiritual stress and
curses resulting in suicides, crime,
injustices, prejudice, hate crimes.
Ultimately religious hierarchies accept
the "pay-offs" and ignore the most
obvious and turn a deaf ear to the poor
and lost in their proximity. Every
city has its "Potter's Field" bought in
the spirit of compromise, indifference
and naivety. In Albuquerque we
took one giant step toward restoration
and revival which will result in a
harvest of salvation from all those that
were lost. I pray the blinders are
taken from all of our eyes and that the
Lord would arm you with a two-edged
sword of revelation to set the captives
free and heal the land.
Albuquerque, NM is just one example of
why we are prophetic and what the
outcome of every prophetic conference of
meeting should be - powerful truth
revealed that sets cities free from
captivity! Find your Potter's
Field.
GOD SAID, "TAKE THE
STAGE!" AND TELL THEM I LOVE THEM!
Last year (2008) I
reported on a phenomenal moment that
transpired on a public stage in
Bismarck, ND. at the Municipal Park
with approximately
two hundred or more in attendance. I
never told you the rest of the
story... This is was not a
pre-planned Christian event or
anything remotely sponsored by some
Christian organization. It was
a secular annual "Hippie Fest" put
on by various bands and sponsors
drawing a local sub-culture of young
and old alike who found a
familiarity in the genre of music.
It was a nostalgic event that was
advertised in the local newspaper
and attended by many. Someone
in the conference at Solomon's Rest
where I was speaking insisted we go
"check it out". This leading
was easy to follow as the entire
conference and already emptied out
into the streets with banners and
bibles in tow and were marching
through the downtown streets.
A few of us went the
couple blocks to the park; as we
entered the "Hippie Fest" a myriad
of colors exploded from the stage
with its loud grinding music with
smoke machines billowing a haze of
strange shapes . The smell of
incense wafted through the air as
people talked and mingled. We were
met with welcoming gestures and
smiling faces as we simply began to
pray and worship Jesus in our small
group from the conference. As
I stood there I began to look to the
Lord heart, "What do we do now?
How can we have the greatest impact
here other than simply being a
light?"
Suddenly the Lord spoke to me
crystal clear, " TAKE THE
STAGE AND TELL THEM "I LOVE THEM!".
I stood there stunned. What
Lord?! Tell them what? They
don't know me, they are not
affiliated with our conference or
religious event! What will I
say? The Lord's word went
through me like electricity, "TAKE
THE STAGE AND TELL THEM "I LOVE
THEM!"
The reality of it hit
me hard as I prayed how this could
be done? The last band of the night
was playing their set which was
appropriately named, "Gypsy
Foot". I was profoundly aware that
the Lord wanted to let every last
person know that He loved them and
was would reach them right where
they were. I suddenly had a
epiphany - EVERY public
place of gathering in the secular
world was simply predestined stages
set for God's love and salvation to
be proclaimed.
But how often do we pass by them
never aware of our responsibility to
share His love or even worse we
avoid these places all together?
I went to directly to
the sound booth adjacent to the main
stage and told the sound man my
strategy. I told him, "I
travel the nation declaring love and
grace, why not this stage tonight?
Let's make an event a movement!"
He was excited and told me he would
find the main promoter and tell her
right now. A few minutes
passed as we all stood and prayed
intensely for this door of utterance
to not close. Finally the
promoter approached me and asked me
what I wanted to do. I told
her. She asked me again,
"What do you want to do?"
I looked at her in the eyes and over
the sound of the music and flashing
neon lights I said, "I want
to declare God's love on this
stage." She looked at
me and simply replied,
"YOU CAN CLOSE THE
SHOW!" Suddenly
the doors of this secular rock
concert was flung open and I was
given total liberty. I was
breathless as the words of Jesus to
His disciples echoed in my heart,
"But when they deliver you up, take
no thought how or what ye shall
speak: for it shall be given you in
that same hour what ye shall
speak.For it is not ye that speak,
but the Spirit of your Father which
speaketh in you..." (Matt
10:19-20). It was no longer me
up on that stage it was the Lord
speaking through me and sharing His
intense immeasurable love. I
was on fire.
I took the stage as
the last instrument wailed and was
met with hugs an admiration from the
band. They had no idea what I
was about to say. I looked at
the hungry crowd and the people
locked in on me. I opened my
mouth, "I travel this nation
declaring God's love. And
contrary to popular opinion God is
still a God of Love and Peace.
A hippie two thousand years ago made
a profound statement, "YOU are the
Light of the world!" I pointed
directly and the crowd and repeated,
"YOU are the light of the world!"
The crowd broke out in crazy
applause and shouting. Some
even yelled, "Amen!". God
moved. As I stood on the stage
and declared His Light behind me in
the ball field hundreds of "lights"
were released in these transparent
balls with tiny candles in them.
It was part of the pre-planned
event! Lights literally
ascended into the dark sky of
Bismarck, ND. The light is not
confined or even defined by a
"church" or a church building with
all of its trappings. No, its
in the hearts of the people who
populate those cities. They are
under bridges, in local parks,
riding their skateboards and playing
their secular music. They
cannot identify with all of our

staples. But they can identify
with Jesus and His broken love for

THE HEARTH OF THE PROPHETS HEART
- A VISION
Chad Taylor
Dec 24, 2008
|
And he said, Hear now my words:
If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will
make myself known unto him in a vision, and will
speak unto him in a dream. - Num 12:6
“For the vision is yet for an
appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and
not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it
will surely come, it will not tarry…” (Hab. 2:3)
This vision is still vividly etched
on the canvas of my imagination and it paints a
picture of current times. The undertow of current
movements and past dispensations often muddy the
water of the undiluted message of Jesus. The
prophets of old were not inundated with the
avalanche of contemporary Christian markets that
literally package and mass produce every new trend
or movement in the Church today. Thus their message
was not tainted or in “piecemeal” of what others
were saying, doing or experiencing. The
multi-colored quilt of modern meetings has created a
phenomenon where many are more acquainted with names
and personalities that they are with the living
breathing Jesus. They have conveniently forgotten
that Jesus is still found in the “least of their
brethren” not the most popular. There has been a
polarization between the lost unsaved world and the
Christian one that exists to reach it.
What we need now is a revival of the
“simplicity that is in Christ” as Paul stated in 2nd
Corinthians 11:3. Jesus is framed today in the
ideals of an American culture and conveniently
packaged into whatever fits our lifestyles and
appetites. He’s no longer a “suffering Messiah” in a
perpetual state of intercession for mankind. We have
downgraded the Son of God into a “date” where we
simply court him by our need for pleasure and
fulfillment. The words of Jesus seem to have no
effect on many, “And he said to them all, If any man
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take
up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever
will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will
lose his life for my sake, the same shall save
it. (Luke 9:23-24).
My vision began as I saw an old
man who was stooping down to the ground writing in
the sand. He seemed so intent on what he was
doing. As I looked at this old man I heard the Lord
say, "This is My prophet; the spirit of the prophet
that has been on the earth since the beginning. This
is the same Spirit that was in Moses’ heart and
Jeremiah, Ezekiel and John the Baptist. It is the
same Spirit that dwells on the earth today. But most
have not seen or even heard the Spirit of the
prophet; the Ancient of Days. Men have changed Me
into their own appearances and tried to transform Me
by their doctrines but in Me there is no
variableness neither shadow of turning - I am the
same yesterday, today and forever. What you see in
this old man – My prophet, is what is still visible
today. (James 1:17; Heb. 13:8)
The man was ancient and yet had a
sense of vitality and virtue that seemed to
superimpose itself over his apparent old age.
As I studied his features and behavior he turned his
head up to me and looked at me through eyes that
were like a deep stream of water. They had an
evanescent quality in them and yet even then it
seemed like something was missing, yearning for
something that was once there. Like an old
photograph that was slowly fading. It was
surreal.
The Lord said to me again, “The face
of the prophet was obscure and eccentric until John
the Baptist and only then did it become completely
visible and clear. That is why I promised that
Elijah had to come first through the spirit of the
prophet in John. But something has dimmed
since then - something that I am looking for again
in the heart of this generation and their worship to
Me. John carried the fullness of that Spirit as it
was seen in the baptism. He prepared hearts for
salvation and that is the pure spirit of the
prophet. It brings hearts to repentance through
faith in Christ and brings them into My
resurrection. The prophet and the Apostle were
united in the water baptism of John and that is why
the Savior of the world was there. These two hearts
are being reunited again in the water of salvation
and baptism.
Suddenly the scene changed and I saw
the figure of Jesus towering above the stooped over
old man and the hand of the lord reached from the
vast distance above. His hand reached into the old
man's body and I could see it as if his chest was
transparent and the heart of the prophet was like a
giant hearth or oven. There were hot coals burning
various colors from yellow, red, orange, purple and
blue. The coals on the top were glowing hot
and burning - emanating intense heat.
The Lord spoke again, "These coals on
top are the passions that compel my prophets today
but there is something missing that I have come to
find again deep in the heart of man." The
Lord's hand then reached deeper into the inner
recesses of the prophet’s heart as far as His arm
could reach. Slowly He brought out His arm and
in the hallow of His hand a small coal appeared
black and cold. The Lord lifted this tiny rock
to His partly open mouth and blew. The tiny
coal burst into a red hot flame as red as if it were
blood.
Jesus took in another breath and
exhaled and said, “This is the all consuming Fire of
the Father! It’s what molds missionaries and compels
people to defy their human limitations and do the
impossible. It’s what makes martyrs and those that
will deny the pleasure of this life for a life to
come. They are those written about by Apostle Paul,
“They were stoned, they were sawn
asunder, were tempted, and were slain with the
sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and
goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
(Of whom the world was not worthy) they wandered in
deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of
the earth. And these all, having obtained a good
report through faith, received not the promise: God
having provided some better thing for us, that they
without us should not be made perfect. (Heb
11:33-40).
This fire is the fire “of whom
the world is not worthy”. What was the
“better thing for you” that they did not
attain? It was the fullness of My Spirit to bring
the hearts of mankind to Me! Peter said it when the
Spirit of this Fire was sent again through the mouth
of the prophets before him, “Then Peter said unto
them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For
the promise is unto you, and to your children, and
to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord
our God shall call. (Acts 2:38-39). That was
the promise that could not be fulfilled without you.
“This fire is being stirred again. It
will pull people from their upper rooms and inner
chambers and what has become interpersonal and
private will once again be displayed openly and
publicly. This is the coal of the desire
for the souls of men and their salvation", the Lord
said. "It was the first coal that I used to spark
the fire in their hearts in the day of Isaiah - ‘Then
flew one of the seraphim’s unto me, having a live
coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs
from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth,
and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine
iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I
heard the voice of the Lord, saying, whom shall I
send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am
I; send me.” ‘(Isa 6:6-8). The cry from My Fire
is still, “Whom shall We send?”
It is the fire that provides life for
all the other coals and keeps them burning; without
it the flame will slowly dim and die out. For
many, this has already happened and their love for
Me has waxed cold. They sincerely believe loving Me
is a state of private existence in a form of
godliness and worship yet it lacks the power and
fire to save. Like the Pharisees of old they truly
believe that in the outward show of worship and
prayer that it can have a lasting impact. But rather
it’s in act of loving Me in “deed and in truth”
dealing their bread to the hungry, opening their
house the stranger, clothing the naked, feeding the
hungry and in this mystery they have seen Me. The
outward attire of their own desire is being removed
and My heart will be revealed.
I suddenly recalled the scripture in
the gospel account of Luke as the two men walked on
the road to Emmaus and after encountering Jesus they
made this incredible statement, "Did not our
heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the
way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?" (Lk.
24:32) The fire that burned in Jesus' heart now
burned in theirs then and it was this fire
that compelled them into the mouth of lions, Roman
arenas and ultimately to the “uttermost part of the
earth.” They had the Spirit of the prophet burning
in them as it did centuries ago.
The old man slowly stood up his eyes
blazing with new fire! The grizzled prophet cried
out the words of Isaiah, “But now, O LORD, You
are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter;
And all we are the work of Your hand!” (Isa.
64:8). He lifted up His hand to the Lord and began
to worship. Beside the prophet was an old plough and
worn deep into the handle was inscribed, “HARVEST OF
SOULS”. The old man gripped the handles of the
plough with all of His strength and cried out in
prayer, “I will not look back again my Lord! I am
fit for Your Kingdom my God!” The hearth of the
prophet’s heart burned hot again and the coal from
the altar in Heaven was now reignited and the souls
of men burned in his bones. A gift was restored to
His people in this season and the world was reaped.
“Now also when I am old and gray
headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed
Your strength unto this generation, and Your power
to every one that is to come…” (Ps 71:18)
** NOTE FROM CHAD: We are almost to
the finish line for 2008. We have postponed
any prior scheduled dates until Dec. 31st to stay at
home with family and prepare for 2009.
Please don't give up on us now - help us race past
the finish line with no hesitation. We are
only $1300 shy from our end of the year necessities
which include our everyday living expenses for the
year. Many of you have been in our events this
year and have been shot out like a cannon ball into
your calling and gifts - help us now accomplish
these end of the years goals. There are some
reading this right now that could wipe that obstacle
right now. Your commitment to stand with us is
immeasurable.
For
those of you who missed my friend Peter’ Hans
call last Thursday on “The Basics of
Investing…According to the Bible,” I have some
great news. You can listen to it for FREE at the
following link:
I’d
encourage all of you to listen as now, more than
ever, I feel that it is important for us to
understand how to steward and invest our
money. 2009 is being predicted by many to be a
tough year financially, but with a little
preparation and a lot of prayer, we can position
ourselves to receive resources that the Lord has
prepared for His people for such a time as this.

As
I wrote last time, this is a time when God is
calling those who will fund the building of His
kingdom on earth. I know many of you are called
to be one of these people. Let’s not miss this
opportunity to co-labor with Him in what He is
doing.
Yours for Him. Chad Taylor
THE TIME FOR THE SOUTH TO RISE IS NOW!
by Misty Taylor
I hear the Lord saying that now is the time for the
South to rise up and become all that he has called
it to be. Are we going to continue sitting around
and waiting on some miracle to happen before we take
action and do the things God has called us to do? He
has given us the ability to do everything he has
called us to do yet there are still so many
unfinished works. God says step up and out and start
doing what I have called you to do. Stop sitting
around watching the future generation kill each
other and do something about it. The enemy is slowly
wiping out the future warriors for God’s kingdom but
what are we doing to STOP it? Just sitting back
praying and fasting for them? Go and pull them out
of the darkness they are in. It is time to step out
of the comfort zone you are in and take action for
God’s property. He is waiting on his people to have
complete faith in him and step out in faith. Don’t
allow another vision to pass you by without doing
something about it.
There may be visions God gave you years ago that you
feel have died and are no longer to be completed.
God says NO the timing is now, trust in me with your
whole heart and do as I have shown you before. If
you don’t do it who will?
Believe in me and I will show you the way. If you
fully trust in me there will be no reason to stop
fulfilling my visions I have given you. The youth
needs you more now than ever. When I say the youth,
I don’t mean just the teens. There are many small
children out there suffering; crying themselves to
sleep at night for someone to show them the right
way. They are my mighty army and I need them to rise
up and become the warriors I created them to be.
They need you and your support to push them into
their destiny! Without your guidance and support
they will be pulled down by the enemy and feel as if
they have no reason to live and no Hope. Step up be
that mentor and make things happen for my future
generation. It’s time to be spiritual parents to
these children. Give them other options. When you
rise up and begin to do the works I have called you
to do the blessings will be poured out over you and
my kingdom.
These dead works must rise again and I’m telling you
the time for them to rise is now. It’s time for the
South to rise again and many riches and abundance
will come from the South. The World will turn to you
wanting to know how they can get what you have. It
is time for you to be a leader and show the world
what God has stored up for them. It’s time to stand
in the gap for past generations and future
generations. The dead is crying out in our behalf
that we see what God has for us. The prayers of
Saints that have gone on before us are coming to
past through you!
It’s time to let go of the hurts that have been
caused the pain we still feel when we see certain
people. God is ready to heal the past and make us a
new people for him. Why should we allow our children
to go through some of the same hurts as we did when
we can do something about it. He is calling us to
rise up and become all that we were created to be.
The time is now will you hear his voice and take
action? This nation is not forgotten! Many leaders
will rise from the South and take a stand for what
is right in God’s eyes. Pray for your leaders and
for their direction.
There are curses that have been spoken over the
South that we need to break. Begin praying over your
city and breaking off all curses spoken over it.
There are roads, buildings, parks, and more that
seem to draw the enemy and his evil doers. Take a
look back and see where the majority of teen deaths
have happened in your city, then take action and
begin to pray against the curses in that area. The
curses must be broken before God can pour out his
entire blessings into your city. Are you going to
answer the call and begin to rise up and do what God
has shown you to do? I see it clearly; God is
holding a HUGE watering can filled with blessings to
be poured out on the South, the prayers of His
people are what help him turn the can upside down
and allow the flood to pour out. His arm in mid-air
but he needs more Faith to help him to pour the
flood of blessings out. I ask you, is the South
really ready to experience all God has for them?
Will they answer his call and do what he tells them?
This is the year for the South to rise! 2009 is the
year for the South! Get involved in you community
and start watching how God blesses your household
and those around you. Hang in there the road might
be bumpy at first, but don’t
give up. Continue to fight the battle and the
outcome will be well worth it.

PALESTINE,
LEBANON, EGYPT, IRAN: A CATALYTIC WORD TO PALESTINE AND
THE MIDDLE EAST
Chad Taylor
Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, all of those adjacent
countries and regions. The spotlight of history is
going to turn there again. Progressive events are
about to take place. Not for evil, but for good.
Look toward that place now. Look towards that country.
Look towards that place of your origin. Here we
are once again Lord. We stand again today Lord.
We pray the prayer of David, we sing the song of David.
We pray for Lebanon. Something is about to change in
Lebanon. There is a changing of the guard. Hear
this, there is a changing of the guard in Lebanon. In
the year 2009, people in leadership shall suddenly change.
People in authority shall suddenly change. The faces
you see today are not the faces you’ll see tomorrow.
For I’m changing the governing authorities in Lebanon.
I’m rearranging I’m changing -hanging of the guard in
Lebanon. There is one specific leader, that
the Lord says his season is over. A new day has begun.
I will raise up one after my own heart. I will raise
up the David's. I will raise up the Jonathans.
And the reign of Saul will be over. His supremacy, the
dictatorship of Saul will be over. The time of David
will arrive. Throughout that whole region the spirit
of David will prevail. The spirit of David -- Davidic
worship, a heart after God will prevail in those Eastern
countries.
THE HEART OF DAVID IN
PALESTINE GOD SAYS, "DREAM AGAIN!"
Let's welcome David into
Lebanon! Lets welcome the man after God’s own heart!
Lets welcome the Spirit of David the Spirit of the
worshipper. Where are you David? Don’t you know
its time? Its time for the David spirit to reign in
those countries. The man or woman after God’s own
heart. Its time for the season of Saul to be over.
Those appointed by man’s authority, by man’s desire, and
man’s design. That time is over. God says watch
and see I will raise up a leader, and I will raise up
leaders not only in the religious systems, but in the
governments and in the parliaments. And the spirit of
David will reign in Palestine. Where are you David?
Its time. Declare that! Its time! The Tabernacle
of David will be seen again! Don’t you know its time?
“Here comes David!”
We are singing David's
song again. Take your harps off the trees it's time to
sing! We’ve been like people who’ve dreamed of a time
long ago. I hear the Lord saying, “Dream again!
And those dreams will come true.” Dream again!
Lebanon dream again! Jordan dream again! Your
young men shall prophecy and your old men shall dream
dreams. And upon your children and your handmaiden
shall I pour out my Spirit on all flesh. [Joel 2:28-29]
And I will be the hope of your people and the hope of your
land again. For I am grafting the land back in. I am
grafting the territory back in. They will not be an
outsider, they will not be an outcast they will be known as
part of the tree of life, they will be known as part of my
destiny, they will be known as part of my people once again.
Dream again! And you’ll see it even in governments,
even in European governments, even in NATO and different
governments you will see a grafting back in. And
Palestine and these adjacent countries will sit at the table
of governing authorities once again around the world.
The spirit of David will prevail, and like Solomon, kings
and queens and princes will come and say, “Look at the
wisdom here, look at the wealth, look at the prosperity,
look at God’s blessing in these nations again!”
A SHIFT AND CHANGE IN
2009 AND YOUTH WILL SAY, "IS THERE NOT A CAUSE?"
And there will be a
phenomenon in the streets of Palestine, there will be a
phenomenon on the streets of these cities with the young
people. There will be a grassroots underground
movement in their clubs their music scene, the whole
culture, the whole creativity, the whole conscience of the
young people. There will be a revolution, not one of
violence and uprising but a spiritual revolution of
conscience, of thinking, of contemplation. And in the
schools, the academic world, in the places of higher
thinking and intellectualism the conscience of the young
people will be altered. There will be a change of DNA,
there will be a change of posture, a change of position.
And the zeal of these people will be routed. God will
route the zeal, and harness the zeal of these young people.
And their heart like David will be turned to a cause.
Even as David faced Goliath, he said, “Is there not a
cause?” [1 Sam. 17:29] Is there not a purpose?
A new purpose and a new
cause shall be the underlying current in these nations.
They will be a phenomenon. There will be leaders that
rise up from the age of 19-25. These leaders will have
a clarion voice and they will have a cause like David, and
they will route the enemy. And they will bring a
government of God in Lebanon, in Iran, in Jordan, in Egypt,
and in all these nations! The government of God will
be upon their shoulders. And they will bring a spirit
of Peace, but not a false peace, and not a false hope, but a
peace that only comes from the cross Jesus. And in the
academic field, where doctors and lawyers are birthed and
conceived, in those places of intellectualism and prowess
will come prophetic anointing. From the age of 19-25
there will be an anointing upon these young men and young
women in these countries. And they will bring a voice,
and they will bring a cause! It will change the world
from Lebanon! It will change the world! And the
plots and plans and curses of the enemy will come to
nothing.
In 2009 a shift and a
change shall take place that will garner the attention of
world government, it will garner the attention of media.
All eyes will be upon these states. All eyes will be
upon these countries. And they will say, “Look and see!
Could it be true?! Could it be true?! Could it
be true?!” And I’ll dismantle and disrupt and divide
the forces of darkness that have prevailed for centuries.
In a generation of young people of your children, of your
descendants, of your origins of your lineage shall rise up
from the fallow ground of war, and rumors of war, and they
will have a mind of David and a heart of David and they will
walk with intelligence and wisdom in forthright vision and
they shall change the government they shall change ancient
laws, and God will turn the tables, and God will reroute the
zeal, and you will see prophetic anointing. You will
see great playwrights, great moviemakers, great creativity
come from these countries. It’ll garner Emmys and
Grammys it’ll capture the attention of Hollywood, it’ll
capture the attention of a generation. Great minds
will emerge from the battlefields just like David, from the
fields, just like David.
And a prophetic
anointing shall prevail and resonate to your countries, your
nations. And the spirit of Saul—the appointment and
assignments of men will no longer prevail. That which
God anoints shall rise. Has He not said, “Humble
thyself under the mighty hand of God and I will exalt you in
due time and in due season.” [1 Pet. 5:6] Watch and
see on the streets, watch and see in the culture, for a
cultural melding pot is being stirred. Great minds and
great hearts great poets, and songwriters playwrights, shall
emerge with the heart of David, driving out the demons,
driving out the division. And government will follow
suit. There will be a great changing of the guard in
2009. Watch! Faces, recognizable faces, that are
now on signs, and pictures and murals on the walls will be
faded and gone. And new faces of leadership will arise
and emerge upon the scene with the heart of David.
Pray into these things! Dream again!
SMOKE AND MIRRORS IN
DECEMBER DO NOT FEAR!
I hear the Lord saying
in December, some time at the turn of the year as one year
turns to another there will be a rumor, a smoke and mirrors
of the enemy - a danger, there will be a crisis in these
countries. And the Lord says do not believe it for it
is only a rumor. Do not believe it. It will try
to persuade many. It will try to evoke fear, but the
Lord says do not fear this thing that comes at the turn of
the year. Do not fear this thing, it is only a mirage.
Its only a smoke and mirrors, it is not the truth. My
intentions and my will, will prevail. And as quickly
as it gathers attention it will quickly fade. Like a
vapor of smoke that appeared for a little while that
vanishes away. Do not believe this thing that happens,
do not believe the rumor that comes from these places.
It is not true and it will not prevail. When you see
these things, just say “Dream again.” Dream again
David. About the month of February the month of March,
The Ides of March, watch and see as these things begin as
this great change, this great succession begins to take
place in these countries. Oh the enemy will try to use
rumors—don’t believe it. Look deeper. Watch and
see. The Bible says we prophecy in part [1 Cor. 13:9].
You know what that means? There’s a whole lot more
that we’re not saying. It’s the tip of the iceberg.
A small fraction of God’s intentions. His thoughts
toward us are more than the sand of the sea. [Ps. 139:17-18]
Its too wonderful for us, its past finding o! ut [Ps.
139:6], His intentions, his heart, for you; for your people.

THE LORD SAID, "RED ALERT! RED ALERT! I AM TURNING THE
ORANGE INTO RED"!
by Chad Taylor
I heard these words resound in my spirit
over and over "I AM TURNING THE ORANGE TO RED IN ORANGE
COUNTY!" I knew the Holy Spirit was referring to
Orange County, California where I was to soon minister.
I was reminded of the National security colors as you
pass through the nations airports, "The National
Security Level is Orange today..." This prophetic
revelation would encompass more than 34 significant
cities and their outlying boundaries in Orange County.
Then I heard the Lord say again, "RED ALERT! RED ALERT!
I AM TURNING THE ORANGE TO RED IN ORANGE COUNTY!"
Red is associated with fiery heat and
warmth. It can also mean danger (burning). In
China, red is the color of prosperity and joy. Red
is also the color of blood, and is a strong symbol of
life and vitality. Red also symbolizes action,
confidence, courage, vitality. Red is often the
color worn by brides in the East while it is the color
of mourning in South Africa. Red can also relate
to power and authority, hence the red power tie for
business people and the red carpet for celebrities and
VIPs. Red is hot. It's a strong color that
conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions
from passionate love to violence and warfare. Then
the word of the Lord became clear and vibrant for
Southern California specifically the Orange County area
and outlying regions-
I am laying out the red carpet says the
Lord and My presence shall take precedence in every area
of creation and creativity. For I am Lord Sabaoth;
the Lord of the Armies of Heaven and in this hour I am
escalating the urgency in this region. Disparity
and depravity shall give way to hope and truth. It shall
be overshadowed by many signs in the heavens above and
the earth beneath and all will surely say, "The Lord's
hand is in this!" I will give My people courage,
confidence, and vitality to take ACTION and move
forward. Now is the time to occupy and heal the
land.
I will unfurl the ancient anointing
revealed in prophecy, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon
me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to
the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
(Luke 4:18-19). A wave of fresh vision and
anointing for the poor will arrest the attention of My
church and to those that will receive it I will give
them a thirty-fold anointing for the poor and vagabond.
And from this harvest of the "least of these" shall be
reaped a quality of workers second to none. They
will be a "Mary Magdalene" and a "Saul of Tarsus" to
them and many shall be converted and filled with My
Spirit and power.
For in this place called
Orange County will be an immunity and I will prosper
them and give them joy in the aftershock of financial
crisis. I will preserve them and keep them.
I will also purge them and it will be to them as a
season of fire as I burn the dross and bring forth the
gold. THE BEACHES WILL BURN WITH SALVATION AND THE
WELL OF BAPTISM WILL BE RE-DUG. Thousands,
thousands on the beaches burning with My passion and
purposes. Now will a paradigm shift take place and
the minds of My people shall no longer be hinged on the
door of a previous experience but will explode with new
expectation and faith. I AM TURNING THE ORANGE TO
RED IN ORANGE COUNTY!
GOD SAID, "THE OREGON TERRITORY IS A
"EPICENTER" OR PLACE WHERE THE "EPIC" WILL "ENTER"!
By Chad Taylor
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!

Chad Taylor Prophecy over
Africa
Given at Victory Christian
Fellowship
Fresno, CA.
February 17, 2008
Africa
mighty nation of kings and princes the lord says to Africa,
Rachel weep no more your children are coming back to their
borders and every anointing that was forfeited sold and
stolen on every foreign sea shore will return to your
continent a hundred fold in this lifetime, in this lifetime
and the life to come, for I see Esau coming back to Jacob, I
see the army of Esau and all his lambs and sheep. I see the
wealth of Esau coming back to Jacob, I see the Queen of
Sheba coming unto Solomon, I see the wealth of the wicked
returning, returning to the shores of Africa and you will
rebuild the old waste places and the cities that have been
ashes God will raise up before your eyes, even like a new
Jerusalem, God will raise up a city, God will raise up a
continent, and God will raise up a nation even in a day.
ESAU, JACOB
AND THE SPIRIT OF JOSEPH
It will be
a miracle, it will be a phenomena. It will be a
paradox to some, a miracle to others, and a phenomena to not
just a few, what I do through you oh Africa. For the
army and the wealth of Esau, and the birthright that was
stolen and sold, is coming back to Jacob. I see ships,
ships, ships full of your people, full of generations, full
of mantels, full of anointing, full of crowns coming back
filling your sea shores, filling the horizons as far as the
eye can see. From a thousand years ago until now,
coming back, coming back, and coming back. For what
the devil meant for evil God has always intended for your
good, and the spirit of Joseph shall rest upon you, and you
will live in no pit and no prison no more, and the scepter
of Pharaoh shall be extended to your nation and kings shall
come to the brightness of it’s rising and the army of the
gentiles shall come because the glory of the Lord is arising
and shining upon you.
STOREHOUSES
TO THE NATIONS
And though
gross darkness has covered you and darkness the people My
glory shall arise and shine upon you, for that very text of
scripture was written for such a time as this and you will
not fail in the time of testing and you will pour it back
upon the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Great charity
will break poverty and Africa will become a storehouse to
the nations. Storehouses filled with new manna and new
bread and other countries in the next decade will come to
Africa to fill their bags and fill their ships. I will
completely turn it around for all things work together for
the good for those called according to My purposes and my
purposes are coming into fullness, fullness, fullness and
I am re-capturing the minds of your youth, and they will
become doctors and they will become genius’ in their fields;
physicists and doctors and lawyers and they will
defend you and they will stand for you, and I will raise
them up to be the head and not the tail, as prophets and
kings, as priests. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
SIGNS AND
WONDERS OVER AFRICA
It starts
in 2008 the stall and the calves have left the gate in 2008,
and you will see a phenomenon in the sky above, you watch
it, you watch it. Those that are observant and those that
are prophetic and even science shall record the mysteries
and the signs and wonders in the heavens above and the earth
beneath. Blood, fire and pillar of smoke shall be seen
over Africa as a sign and a wonder and as a symbol of God’s
promises and his ability to perform them in this hour.
Strange eclipses of the sun and the moon, strange phenomena
in the heavens, I hear the Lord saying a star is born.
And Kings will come to the brightness of it’s rising to
bring their gifts to bring their wealth, to bring their
wisdom.
HOSPITALS,
UNIVERSITIES AND TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS
I see
medical, medical hospitals and medical colleges rising up
within Africa that will be the envy of the nations and
people will come there to attend those schools and those
universities. Like Oxford was in England, God is
raising up the academic anointing in the nation of Africa
and you will be the envy of England and the envy of America.
Great medical institutions and great academic institutions
shall arise from the ashes of civil war. Where war has
marked those countries, so shall my glory now mark them. I
will remove the pricks that we have kicked against and I
will remove the obstacles and I will make way where there
appeared to be in one day, no way.
Oh my God,
Oh my God and the Lord says I will break up the fountains of
the deep and waters shall be found, and waters shall be
discovered, that will be bottled, that shall become an
industrious witty-invention and will bring wealth to the
people in the Christian communities. Discoveries,
hidden treasures in the darkness, coming to the light to the
faithful few and into the hands of the Joseph anointed. For
I am building an Ark in the continent of Africa and many
nations shall come to find the Glory that resides in you.
THE DAY OF THE WARRIOR HAS COME
by Chad Taylor
I see the prayers of your
forefathers rise before Me like smoke. The bones of your
brothers cry out to Me from the ground and I declare to you a
year of remembrance. Look closely at 2008; a year of
anniversary and remembrance has come before you. I will
reinstate you in places of authority and honor and the
prophecies of your forefather's shall resonate in this nation.
All that has opposed Me shall now be swept away as those in
darkness see a great Light. "The land of Zabulon, and the land
of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of
the Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw great light;
and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is
sprung up..." (Matt 4:15-16).
THE SPIRIT OF CRAZY HORSE
The warrior spirit is still intact
and I will teach your hands to war. You will tear down
ancient strongholds that others have been unwilling and unable
to destroy. You will stand in the gates of Washington D.C.
with a message from Heaven. Those that have resisted you
for 200 years will now declare, "Blessed is he who comes in
the Name of the Lord." The self-fulfilling prophecy
spoken over you years ago, "I will fight no more forever"
will now be reversed and the will to fight the good fight of
faith will be restored. You will take back coveted land
and place it at the feet of your Father. For I tell you
this day I hear the prayers of Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and
Joseph - apostolic prophetic declarations that were made that
are hanging in the balances of fulfillment. The day of the
warrior has come.
I WILL RESURRECT YOUR HEART AT
WOUNDED KNEE
A resurrection is coming at the
places where the warrior has fallen. These memorial stones
will now be remembered from the highest places of government in
the land. The powers that have incarcerated your destiny will
now be broken releasing the light of a new beginning in your
inherent land. The caricature of history shall be rewritten and
the faces of your Chiefs will be seen in the light of truth. I
will place memorial stones in the house of your President for
those that favor you will be favored by Me. Many will see
it and be glad. For the KNEE is a place of
prayer and devotion - now hear this word of wisdom:
I will restore your place of intercession and prayer and that
which has wounded you and displaced you from your rightful
position of prayer and authority for this nation shall no
longer handicap you any more. The knee that was broken
shall now be repaired says the Lord and you shall stand in the
gap once again.
PROPHECY TO THE WIND BROTHERS
The wind of the prophetic that has
lifted you above the persecution will now lift you once
again. The Spirit of Prophecy is your inheritance and you will
now find yourself at center stage. The curtains of
bitterness and hate are now being rended revealing a glorious
light of My Word in you. You will stand on the mountains of
this nation and declare a New Day. The highest places are
yours for the possession. As Moses on Mount Sinai you will
see a mighty deliverance as millions escape the valley of death
into the fields of harvest. Your day of reckoning and
recognition has come My brothers. Prophecy to the wind and cry
out, "These dry bones will live! These dry
bones will live!"
RESERVED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
F irst Nations will now be the first
and not the last as the indictments against them are no more.
A graduation from glory to glory is now in effect and the fires
of an awakening on your reservations is now kindled. For
those in "reservation" understand now it was only a "dress
rehearsal" reserved for an appointed time and like Esther the
scepter of favor and authority will be granted. Watch and
see - even those who say, "Can these things be?", will
now stand in the place as the officer did to Elisha as these
words come to pass, "Behold, you shall see it
with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof..."
(2 Kings 7:2). The famine of hearing God's word in your
land is over. Stand in that place now and proclaim and
watch and see as the reaper is overtaken by the sower.
THE BULL IS NO LONGER SITTING
Those that have sat in darkness
shall now rise in this dawning of a new day. A Bright and
Morning Star shall be seen in 2008 leading them to the place of
their destiny. The tomb of history shall now be
open revealing the exploits that have even to this day remained
hidden. The spirit of exploitation shall be banished from
their borders breaking the cycle of the curse that has found its
way into this present generation. The temptation of wealth
will not spoil the heart of the youth as they reach for higher
ground. As Elijah prayed for rain so shall you stand at
the threshold of drought and dearth and release the heavens.
You shall call upon the Name of Yeshua and the day of famine
shall end. For this is your inheritance and birth right
and in this hour you will see the heart of the father's return
to their children says the Lord. Significant signs shall
surely follow as a People embrace this day that I have declared.
"But this is a people robbed and
spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid
in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivers; for a
spoil, and none saith, Restore. Who among you
will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to
come? (Isa 42:22-23).
THE PERFECT
STORM: FINDING GOD IN CURRENT CRISIS'S
by Chad Taylor
Recently in a ministry trip
to Ketchikan, Alaska I heard the Lord begin to speak
about a "perfect storm" or a perfect set of
circumstances that appear to be disastrous or tragic but
in reality is a chain reaction that is creating
monumental breakthrough and powerful lateral momentum in
His Kingdom. Like a Tsunami that comes in with such
force and then in its wake massive amounts of land are
pulled out with it. These "perfect storms" are a
series of divine circumstances often seen in our
headlines and front pages almost daily as a blueprint
for incredible breakthrough and Kingdom advancement.
What may at first appear to be unexplainable events will
prove to be tipping points and historic progressive
breakthroughs that alter the course of regions, states
and nations.
THE NOAH FACTOR AND MASSIVE GLOBAL BREAKTHROUGH
Look at Noah's circumstances for a minute and what
apparently began as a complete disaster became a
"new world" or a complete change in circumstances
and environment. Recently I was in the Portland
area ministering at a Assembly of God church (I
believe it's worth mentioning the church
denomination), as this historic or "perfect
storm" hit interrupting transportation in mass and
is still currently having an incredible impact on
the environment. I was scheduled to leave on
Monday Dec. 3rd but felt led to leave that night as
the storm approached on Dec. 2nd after ministering
at the PM meeting. I believe the entire trip
that night was to receive God's perspective at a
deeper level as sheets of rain and blasting gusts of
wind descended. These disturbing current
events overseas and in the U.S. are catalytic in
nature that will often "violently" as stated in
Mathew 11:12 radically change the landscape removing
obstacles of resistance once and for all. What
would take years and even a life time to change
under these adverse events will happen in seconds,
minutes and hours.
PORTLAND PREPARE FOR A DOWNPOUR OF MY SPIRIT!
As I hit Portland's skyline on Interstate 5 I
literally saw clouds of God's presence over
particular buildings downtown. This was not a
"fog" or haze; I literally saw the physical
manifestation of God's presence over the city as
recent record breaking rain and wind converged on
the city. As I drove the length of Portland
at 11pm Dec. 2nd the Lord stated,
"Portland PREPARE for a downpour of My Spirit!
Even as the wind and rain are hitting you even so
shall My Spirit hit you - all of you..."
There was such a prominence or emphasis on this word
for exactly where the rain and wind were impacting:
the city: her streets, building and waterways.
It was a candid picture of a perfect storm of God's
Holy Spirit coming to radically change the moral,
spiritual and social landscape like a flood.
SEATTLE, PORTLAND AND BOISE: A TRIUNE COUNSEL OF
GOD'S HEART
During our 5 month series of meetings in Stockton,
CA. this year I heard the Lord state this
prophetically in one of our Friday night revival
services, "SEATTLE, PORTLAND AND BOISE:
A TRIUNE COUNSEL OF GOD'S HEART."
I see this playing itself out now as historic
headlining moments unfold targeting these 3 key
cities in the Pacific Northwest. A
"Foursquare" balance of God's heart and Will shall
emerge from the Church in these 3 cities that will
cause a divine equilibrium in the Body of Christ
nationally and even globally. From Sunday
services, spontaneous outbreaks of revival to
divinely orchestrated conferences and rallies; the
heart of God for world harvest and strategic
occupation shall form from these 3 places having a
profound impact on the future of the Church and the
world it is reaching.
Watch and see as other situations occur in these
cities and states that some will label, "bizarre,
strange and uncanny" but they will prove as
circumstances progress, to be a "perfect storm" that
creates massive momentum and historic change setting
the plumb line of God's will for decades to come.
Seattle, Portland and Boise will prove to be a
"threefold cord that is not easily broken" as 2008
unfolds. 2008 will be one of the most defining
and definitive years for these 3 cities and states
repositioning the Church as even current doctrine is
transformed like the land is around them during
these historic events. His Plumb Line will be
laid in the Pacific Northwest.
THE REJECTED WILL BE ACCEPTED AND REINSTATED IN 2008
2008 will go down in history as the YEAR OF THE
PRODIGAL as those that have suffered severe
rejection are now accepted and reinstated by the
Hand of the Lord. It will not be an act of man
even as it was not the act of man that reinstated
the prodigal son to his position or Moses, David, or
Jonah to theirs. The grace of God will prove
itself sufficient in 2008 as significant headlining
reconciliation and restorations takes place.
Newspapers, talk shows and other major media events
will become harbingers of God's intentions like no
other time in 2008 as the "uncomely parts" are
bestowed more honor. Those that have been
disgraced, misunderstood and forgotten will be
suddenly thrust back to the forefront as Joseph was
from his pit and prison. The stone covering
many people's "lion's den" shall be rolled away by
the power's-that-be revealing a greater destiny
inside. Those that have "fellowshipped in His
suffering" shall undoubtedly now walk in
resurrection power.
2008: THE YEAR OF THE INDIGENOUS
Major political and social events shall occur that
publicly and historically place the Native American
people into a place of restoration. An "every
eye shall see" shall unfold in 2008 taking their
cause from the ranks of last making it first.
The anointing of peacemaker shall take center stage
on many international platforms as the Indigenous
people take the lead in major national events.
Certain seats of national authority have been
reserved for them for such a time as this.
Faces that have been hidden from public view will
now "arise and shine" and the caricature of previous
history will be eclipsed by a new breed of apostles,
prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers revealing
the original foundation that the Lord has
established. City seats and governmental
positions will now be vacant as these noble people
step into their rightful position of leadership.
Church governments will inevitably and unavoidably
have to reach out to the Native American people if
they are ever going to see the fullness of the
Lord's will in their cities and churches; this will
become perfectly clear as the year unfolds.
Media and movies will continue to lead the charge as
the Lord shines His divine spotlight on a chosen
generation of Native American's.
North Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona and Wyoming
will take on a apostolic role of reconciliation and
restoration as a "voice crying in the wilderness"
begins to be heard in America. The true
genuine Joseph anointing will be seen in its full
stature and true character as these people take up
the call and election of the Lord in 2008 and
beyond.
A ASSEMBLY OF GOD'S PRESENCE IS AMASSING
Remember the reference to the Assembly of God
church above? I heard these words as I
ministered in two Assembly of God churches
in the last two months, particularly in the
Portland area as what some are calling "the 40
year" storm because of its intensity and the
first of its kind in 40 years. Not only is
the Lord's presence targeting certain
denominations and churches such as the A.G. but
He is targeting major metropolitan cities in a
terrific historic way. Even as we see
Interstate 5 interrupted between Portland and
Seattle by torrential rain and flooding it is
only a prelude to incredible divine
interruptions as the Lord begins to fill His
temple as He did in Acts chapter 2.
Many mainline denominations that have remained
steadfast in former doctrine and dogma
indifferent to the current move of God will
emerge from the tomb like Lazarus; the grave
clothes of previous experiences no longer
hindering them. Even more contemporary
church movements that have detoured from their
divine course will find new vision and grace to
return to their "first love" and do the "first
works". Like the little boats in Luke
chapter 5 the influx and increase will be so
great it will demand a greater unified front
than ever before in the Body of Christ to
ultimately accomplish His work: "So
they signaled to their partners in the other
boat to come and help them. And they came and
filled both the boats, so that they began to
sink..." (Luke 5:7 NKJV).
Imagine success in the Lord's Kingdom that is so
great that unless you reach out and accept
assistance from others your ministry will sink?!
That is the kind of divine challenges the future
holds as the "perfect storms" of God's will
converge upon the world.
THE DELTA RIVER REVIVAL AND THE PENDING FUTURE OF CALIFORNIA
by Chad Taylor
I heard these words over and over in the
Spirit today. I heard it stated as if it was a historical
event such as, “The Cain Ridge Revival”, or “The Welsh
Revival.” The only difference was that these were
specific historical events and the DELTA RIVER REVIVAL was an
event yet to happen. I heard it again, “THE DELTA RIVER
REVIVAL”. It was an unusual moment as I heard voices from
the future declaring our present, “THE DELTA RIVER REVIVAL...”
The Delta is an example of
an inverted river delta, one of only a few worldwide located in
Central/Northern California. Created by a massive
convergence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, it’s a
vast expanse of tributaries and canals that eventually empty
into the Pacific Ocean through San Francisco and the Golden
Gate. Stockton, CA. acts as a “watchman” of the Delta and
is located on the San Joaquin River on the eastern edge of the
delta and is the seat of the San Joaquin County. The Delta
is also a water and energy source for millions of people and one
of the world’s greatest agricultural resources. It is
commonly referred to as the "fruit basket of the world." Again I
heard, “THE DELTA RIVER REVIVAL…”
THE “DELTA REVIVAL
ZONE”: AN EPI-CENTER OF REVIVAL
Stockton, Sacramento, Fresno, Bakersfield, Tracy, Modesto,
Visalia, Merced, Chico, Redding, Yuba City were spokes on this
“wheel” of revival. Many other cities are connected and
related to the cities mentioned above. This “zone” also impacts
the mountain ranges that “guard” this precious resource; Sierra
Nevada to the East, the Tehachapi Mountains to the south, and
the Coast Ranges and San Francisco Bay to the west. I saw
a large red circle covering an aerial view of the state
highlighting this “revival zone”. God has marked this
region to produce some of the most significant signs of revival
in Christian history.
I HEARD AN ANGEL
DECLARE, “THE YOUTH ARE COMING! THE YOUTH ARE COMING!”
An angelic declaration was
being decreed over this region of California. A major
influx of youth were about to receive the injunction of the Lord
into the Army of God. A great commissioning into this
revival was about to take place. Rather than coexisting as
“2nd Class” in this army they were about to receive a
major spiritual promotion and begin to take the forefront
starting in California and then nation wide. A significant
sign of this is about to take place that will receive widespread
attention. The prison door of their present spiritual
position in the church is about to drastically change.
Like Joseph the pit and prison of present circumstance is
suddenly going to be transformed into city wide authority for
revival.
A STOCKPILE OF MIRACLES,
SIGNS AND WONDERS IN STOCKTON
Stockton, CA. during the
historic Gold Rush that dramatically changed the landscape of
California and the world quickly evolved into the SUPPLY LINE
for the miners. Stockton is also the location of the
largest inland seaport in California. In and around Stockton are
thousands of miles of waterways, canals, and rivers that
comprise the California Delta. I heard the Lord say,
“THE STOREHOUSE AND THE STOCKPILE OF MY PROVISION WILL BE IN
STOCKTON SUPPLYING VITAL PROVISION AND ANOINTING FOR MY MODERN
“MINERS” OR REVIVALISTS. I will have a stockpile
of miracles, signs and wonder in Stockton. Many will come
to receive their destinies, creative miracles and anointing for
revival. The stock and value of Stockton is quickly rising
says the Lord I am even now causing this to happen. You
will see this evident in the natural as well as the spirit. Many
will relocate to this city and receive the catalytic anointing
inherent in It to impact the world with the Gospel. A
great pillar of prayer is rising from this city that will be
seen from the uttermost parts of the earth. Watch and see
as this comes to pass before your very eyes.
THREE SIGNIFICANT SIGNS
IN SAN FRANCISCO
I heard the Lord say,
THREE SIGNIFICANT SIGNS IN SAN FRANCISCO WILL BE FOR A WONDER
FOR ALL TO SEE. One will be in the
government or governing body of the city, the second will be a
major shift in the economy and thirdly in the very nature of or
physical substance and environment. One sign shall capture
the attention of the media for 3 days. On the 3rd
day other significant news shall shift the attention of the
nation but it will be for a sign of resurrection and restoration
of My law. One sign will be an alarm that will have a
detouring effect on the economy and passions of the city; it
will impact the moral fabric of the city displacing millions of
dollars in a few short hours of time. Finally the last
sign will be physical in nature and supernatural shifting the
very boundaries of the city restoring the “old paths” signifying
a restoration of the cities destiny and prophetic foundations.
A certain death of a historic or primary figure in San Francisco
will also make headlines and trigger a “changing of the guard”
and a new beginning in the natural and spiritual says the Lord.
CALIFORNIA FIRES ARE
ONLY THE PREREQUISITE FOR SPIRITUAL FIRES
As record breaking fires
have blazed across the state it is only the opening act of a
great spiritual fire to follow. Some of the regions most
impacted by these fires will be “fire zones” of revival and
evangelism. It is also a sign of the burning away of the
old making way for the new. I am restoring the vision that
has been buried and it will be revealed by fire. The wood,
hay and stubble of men’s own efforts will fail but the gold and
silver of revival will prevail in the coming days. The
back draft of My purposes will suddenly hit many and launch
ministries and churches literally overnight. They will
have stellar success as they embrace this new day of My
visitation and let go of the stigma of the past with its rules
and regulations. They will be a tabernacle of My presence
inviting entire cities into My anointing. This will be
highlighted by graphic and poignant miracles that will be so
powerful in nature it will arrest the attention of entire
regions filling open arenas and market places with spontaneous
gatherings lasting for weeks. These occurrences will
spread across the West Coast and the entire nation setting on
fire a course of revival that will defy modern premise and
theology shattering the present wineskin. The days of
Elijah are here!
THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP
IS CALIFORNIA AND WHERE IT SAILS THE NATION WILL SURELY FOLLOW
I saw a picture of a
mariner grasping the wheel of his ship braving the storm that
was lashing out against him. Over the heaving waves and
whipping winds he overcome as I heard the shout from above,
“LAND HO! LAND HO!” The ship of grace had found it harbor.
Like Christopher Columbus that sailed the unknown waters of the
Atlantic so is California and her ramification on the nation.
Where her bow breaks spiritual waters breakthrough is sure to
follow. I heard the Lord say, “WATCH THE ECONOMY!
WHAT I DO IN CALIFORNIA WILL SET THE STANDARD FOR THE NATION.
A groundswell of economic breakthrough is beginning. It
will be highlighted by natural events that will at times go
completely unnoticed and often never connected to these events.
Others will be clear and validating signs that I am opening up
the wells of blessing to equip the army that is consequently
being commissioned. Watch for flooding and other signs
related to water and waterways. It is only one landmark on
the road to revival.
"IT'S CRITICAL MASS CALIFORNIA!: CALIFORNIA IN GOD'S
CROSSHAIRS"
Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather
together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And
your daughters shall be nursed at your side. Then you shall see
and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because
the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, The wealth of
the Gentiles shall come to you." (Isa 60:4-5).
Our recent trip to Central California produced the most
significant fruit in 9 years of ministering in this state. We
experienced first hand what I call, REVIVAL PRAYING. When God's
people find a place of intense prayer mixed with tears that
inevitably leads to repentance from dead works. This is usually
followed by a deep resolve to reach the world that surrounds are
modern parishes and churches and narrow the stark margin between
the church and street. I ministered at various cities and
churches including a group at the Delta College Campus one of
CA. oldest colleges. As I illustrated the "missing links" in
today's church that creates a general atmosphere absent of a
true revival spirit the class began to cry out to God
spontaneously with tears and vehement prayers. It reminded me of
the small class I taught several years ago at the University of
the Nations YWAM base in Kona, HI. What started as a small
strategic missions class suddenly captured the hearts of the
campus as we converged on the "GO" center with revival prayers.
This resulted in many going to the streets of Kona with fire and
passion. Much of that continues today as many continue to carry
the torch into the streets.
Light was created to rule over darkness as the Lord declared
eons ago, "And God made two great lights; the greater light to
rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night..." (Gen
1:16). We need to be where it is dark. You see this dynamic
again, "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of
the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the
stars for ever and ever." (Dan 12:3). A "shining" or "rising"
always has a starting point. As I heard the words, CRITICAL MASS
CALIFORNIA I saw California as the breaking point or tipping
point of a great "Shining" across the land. Like a submarine
streaking upward toward the waters surface the tip of the
submarine hits and breaks the waves; I see California as the tip
or "ice breaker" as it shines with a effectual fervent glory.
THE PACE CAR OF REVIVAL IS NOW TAKING THE TRACK
California is like the pace car at the Indianapolis 500 it will
begin to set the pace for radical reformation in the church
system. California will be the arrow point that pierces the old
wine skin and makes way for a new dynamic of ministry and
church. You will see a first fruits of this in California as a
army begins to stir herself. As California begins to take her
role as a true forerunner and trail blazer hot spots of revival
will begin to burn more brightly all over the nation. As
California gets free so a nation gets free. The pace of current
breakthrough will quicken this summer and landslide into the
fall and winter months. In November you will see significant
signs following as these things take place. The oil of
repentance and penance will open the floodgates of reparation as
I call California's firstborn back to Me.
Many generational legacies will begin to bear fruit as
California stirs herself once again. The Mexican American will
find themselves in new seats of authority governing and ruling
in righteousness as delegates and ambassadors of the Lord. The
royal Spanish and Mexican bloodline will find redemptive
qualities for California's future and these things will become
very evident in the days and months ahead as the very land is
healed from the reparative prayer of the saints. Meekness and
humility will win over the hearts of the proud and divers and
sundry streams of religious expression will come together as one
to shout the walls if indifference and piety down.
CALIFORNIA IS IN GOD'S CROSSHAIRS (THE DEVIL'S TOO)
Like a nuclear reactor California is now at critical mass. The
crosshairs of God's purpose and plan is upon it. Those that
labored in her vineyards for years will now reap the reward of
the diligent which is the first fruits of revival. The broken
walls of her inheritance that religion and division has eroded
will now be repaired as a new strength fills the hearts of her
children. Dark and dangerous plots of the enemy over Southern
California will come to nothing as the Sword of the Lord and
Gideon fight on the side of the Lord. Natural disaster in
Central California will be extremely lessened to encourage the
hearts of the laborers. Northern California will feel the
refreshing winds of the Lord's presence as he strengthens her
borders and removes the mountains before them. Wells that have
remained shut and forgotten will give way to new rivers of
righteousness and power as He heals the wounds of the land.
Reconciliation will resound as you pray releasing the fire of
God. The spirit of Ichabod will find no place to rest in you as
you passionately pursue His heart for the lost and poor. Your
places of worship will now be called, "cities of refuge" for the
downcast and the rejected as a underground harvest begins to
step from the cave into the light. Faces etched with destiny
will shine with His glory despite tattoos and outward signs of
their persecution. As David they will dance in the streets and
war in the hiways and biways for a people yet to see His glory.
RADICAL is written on their hearts as they pursue His plan with
unshakable resolve.
THE CUP OF THE PROPHET IS OVER CALIFORNIA
"He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall
receive a prophet's reward". (Matt 10:41). Because of
California's ability to accommodate the prophet's of the Lord a
prophet's reward is upon her. A prophetic prosperity will fill
her coffers and overflow her bosom as she gives birth to the
prophetic word sown inside her. Current trends in real estate
and land ownership will set a new standard in California and the
nation as God prepares her borders for His arising in His
people. As in the opening pages of Acts "Land and Houses" will
be released at a blurring rate and the finances from this divine
release and blessing will supply the frontlines of revival
around the world. Great missionary endeavors will come from
California unlike any other time in recorded history as the
gates of prosperity are opened. Pray intercessors Pray! The
battle is intensifying over you and the price will not be light
as you stand in the gap for a generation. The timing has come
into maturation and bells of grace our sounding over your heads,
lift them up for the deliverance of the Lord is here!
THE ANGEL SHOUTED, "THE EAGLES HAVE LANDED! THE EAGLES HAVE
LANDED!"
I heard this crystal clear in the spirit as I received this
prophetic word, THE ANGEL SHOUTED, "THE EAGLES HAVE LANDED! THE
EAGLES HAVE LANDED!" California is a great eagles nest that is
preparing to propagate the Word of the Lord in a very unique and
significant way. I also saw the eagle as the symbol of the
United States and its governing body. California would once
again become the "point man" in 2008 as the elections come to a
head. The prophetic company assembled in California's borders
would become a epicenter of historic prayers predetermining the
future of a nation. A divine hiway is coming to a completion in
California; a landing strip receiving prophetic ministries from
around the world into its borders. California will quickly
become a "prophet's upper room" and the blessings of the Lord
will overtake her. Her land will flourish, her banks will
overflow as in times of harvest in Israel's crossing the Jordan.
The distinct sounds of worship will be heard in her cities. San
Francisco will not be just sounding brass or clanging symbols
but rather a distinct call to battle will be sounded out
rallying the army into action. As Elisha was in Dothan as he
prayed, "Open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the
eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was
full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha." "And he
answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they
that be with them." (2 Kings 6:16). For a time of reckoning and
reconciliation is upon you and you will see the Lord in the land
of the living.
THE LORD SAID, "I AM LEAVING MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO
As
the old song pays tribute, "I left my heart in San Francisco", I
heard the Lord say, "I am leaving MY HEART in San Francisco." A
redefining moment is upon you O great city. As you once burned
into the night and ships from afar saw your demise now watch and
see as I arise and shine declaring a new day of liberty. Ships
from afar shall once again see the night sky burning bright but
now it will be the fires of My spirit as a lamp to your feet and
a light to your path. I will now light the torches of My passion
and purpose and like an Olympic runner your streets will see it
and be glad. I say something unique in the months of June, July
and August. For those months shall be as three days to Me says
the Lord and I will open the graves of your destiny and call
Lazarus forth. The stone of judgment shall be rolled away and
you shall stand in victory as the reproach of your youth is
remembered no more. An army of destitute and despised will stand
in My glory with fire in their eyes as the Spirit of the Lord is
poured out without measure. That which has been your greatest
shame shall now become your greatest glory as I testify My grace
in you. Watch and see, even from the Golden Gate my glory will
be seen - many will stop to behold a sign and a wonder and lift
up their eyes to Me for this purpose will it be. I am even now
removing those that oppose and a great turning will transpire as
the seats of authority are occupied by those that pray.
Righteousness will prevail and the gates of hell will not as a
new day is declared in you many will see it and rejoice. I am
leaving My heart in San Francisco says the Lord, I am leaving My
heart in you. What was once stone is now flesh and will be
filled with the knowledge of the Lord.

THE LIBERTY BELL WILL RING AGAIN AND THE ANGEL OF FREEDOM SAID,
"LET FREEDOM REIGN!"
 On
Sunday April 15th, 2007 I found myself at a crucial prophetic
crossroads. In light of recent events this week as the
Supreme Court's Decision to Uphold Partial Birth Abortion Ban my
encounter at this important monument to the Civil Rights
movement and American history only cemented this experience.
I was a speaker at a conference in the Birmingham, AL. area but
what unfolded Sunday morning was unscheduled and divinely
orchestrated. Literally the night before my commitment to
speak at another local church was changed and I found
myself awakened by the Lord Sunday morning and then was led to
drive toward downtown Birmingham at approximately 10:00 am.
I was seeking directions to another part of the city and pulled
off a random exit and asked directions from a man who was
exiting the gas station. I had noticed a city marker that
indicated that the "Civil Rights Institute" and museum was
nearby. I inquired about that as well and the African
American man said without hesitation, "Follow me..."
It
was very cold and the rain was whipping by as unusual weather
patterns were also impacting the East Coast at the same time.
The downtown area was nearly empty considering it was an early
Sunday morning in the deep south. After a few blocks
the stranger led me to the doors of large building that was the
Civil Rights Institute. It was closed to the public.
I got out of my vehicle and another African American man was
walking toward me. I suddenly had the realization that
Martin Luther King Jr. had once preached here and other
historical landmarks became clear to me as I looked around at
the various markers and plaques. I asked the man, "Where
is the church that Martin Luther King Jr. preached at?" He
pointed behind me, "Right there!" A few feet from where I
parked was 16th Street Baptist Church which become the epicenter
of civil right history and tragedy when a bomb exploded
September 15th, 1963 claiming the lives of four young girls.
This was also the breaking point which caused international
attention to the civil rights stand and brought about historic
change.
As I climbed the old steps to the main
entrance it was if I had stepped back in time 50 years ago as
this nation struggled deeply for its civil and morale bearings
and seemed to falter. By this time I could hear the sound
of the choir as they, "Marching to Zion" and I was
welcomed warmly by the ushers as they handed me the bulletin
- it read, "TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE 134th YEAR OF THE SIXTEENTH
STREET BAPTIST CHURCH" The very day that the Lord led me
to this historic precipice was its 134th anniversary of its
existence. 1873 was also marked by the Stock Market crash
which was the beginning of the "great depression".
Sixteenth Street Baptist Church was also the first African
American church organized in Birmingham, AL. As I sat
there transfixed by the events the Lord spoke into my spirit,
"THE LIBERTY BELL IS RINGING AGAIN!"
I heard this over and over as I sat near the back of the
building in an old wooden pew, "THE LIBERTY BELL IS RINGING
AGAIN!" I was also suddenly aware a massive angelic
presence over this exact building I knew immediately it was the
Angel of Freedom and it was declaring as the choir sang, "LET
FREEDOM REIGN!"
I was still reeling from these events as I rose to exit.
As I went down the steep steps of the church again I asked a
Police Officer that was now parked across the street, again an
African American, where the historic marches had occurred as the
water cannons pummeled the people and the police dogs were seen
on television attacking the marchers, he said it was on 6th Ave.
which was exactly where I was standing on 16th Street and 6th
Ave. I got into my truck because of the cold and began
driving the route of the infamous march my windows down.
What happened next still echoes in my spirit... I heard
clearly from a distance A LARGE BELL RINGING. I turned
toward it and tried to locate it again as it rang but from a
different direction. I looked all around trying to find
the origins of the sound and again it rang clearly but from a
different direction. I suddenly realized I was hearing an
audible supernatural sound as the Lord said again,
"THE LIBERTY BELL IS RINGING AGAIN!"
It was coming from all around me and had no particular rhythm it
just rang; deep and clear.
 As
I continued to drive through the city I saw the fires of revival
and revolution that had once burned in this city. It was
not only natural water cannons that pummeled the people that
marched for freedom in Birmingham, Alabama it was also a
religious flood that quenched the fires of revival. As I
walked through the park across from 16th Street Baptist church
with its life size memorial of Martin Luther King Jr. the Lord
said, "PROPHECY TO THE FIRE OF REVIVAL TO SPRING UP ONCE
AGAIN!". I saw as it was coals still burning right under
the surface. A plaque in the park was etched with two
words, "RECONCILIATION and REVOLUTION" I began to
prophesy RECONCILIATION, REVOLUTION and REVIVAL fires to begin
to burn brightly over America again securing liberty and justice
for ALL from the streets of Birmingham, AL on the very same
route the masses marched over 40 years ago in the shadow of the
16th Street Baptist Church. THE LIBERTY BELL IS RINGING
OVER AMERICA AGAIN.
"THE COURT OF GOD'S GRACE IS NOW IN SESSION"
by Chad Taylor
Today I heard that word as if it was audible,
"THE COURTS OF GOD'S GRACE ARE NOW IN
SESSION". I saw an unfolding vision of real life
courtroom and the jury was entering filing into their seats. There
was a large crowd in the main audience and I knew right away by the
innumerable television cameras that this was being viewed around the
world. I then saw who I
knew to be Jesus come into the room and He stated,
"I am ready to bring evidence and
substance to prove My people's faith..." Another voice
who I knew to be the Father's say, "The court is now Yours to present
Your case." I was immediately drawn to the scripture in Matthew 11
as the Lord revealed to me the first session of God's court of grace
2000 years ago, "And when John had heard in prison about the works of
Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, "Are You the
Coming One, or do we look for another?" Jesus answered and said to them,
"Go and tell John the things
which you hear and see: The blind see and the lame walk; the
lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the
poor have the gospel preached to them. (Matt
11:2-6). As the jury of that age was assembled for the first time
Jesus our advocate and propitiation presented His overwhelming evidence
proving that His grace WAS sufficient. Then I heard the voice of
the Lord say again, "Court
is now in session again and I will prove like no other time in history
that My grace is sufficient. I will present evidence and substance
that My peoples faith is not in vain."
SIGNS, WONDERS AND MIRACLES ARE HIS EVIDENCE IN THIS PRESENT COURT OF
GRACE
Signs, wonders, miracles and the great commissioning to preach the
gospel with favor unparalleled in human history is the great evidence in
this Court of Grace. I heard the Lord say to the Jury of
unbelievers, agnostics, Muslims, and every sort of doubter and critic,
“Watch and see I will
do a work before you that you would not believe even if it were told
you.”
As this heavenly drama unfolded before me I noticed again the television
cameras and high tech video recorders. I heard the Lord say to me
“My miracles will be seen in High Definition and nobody
will be able to gainsay or rebuke them…”
The Lord was making His work more visible than ever before in recorded
history. It would be emblazoned on every network and television
channel around the world and feature films and secular media would
become our greatest source of visibility as they recorded the great
exploits of God’s people. Like Nebuchadnezzar many of the most
visible personalities in movies and media would openly and publicly
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. I heard the Lord say, “Watch
Donald Trump for as a child he encountered Me, I am going to remind him
of His greatest legacy in the days to come, he is only one of many that
I will shine the spotlight of My grace on says the Lord.”
THE DAYS OF HEBREWS 11 HAVE OFFICIALLY BEGUN
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.” (Heb 11:1) The substance and evidence of all that My
church has contended for is beginning to make itself manifest. You
will see the greater works and the exploits that you have read about for
generations. The engine that will move this vehicle of greater
works is GRACE and it will enable you to do in 1 year what otherwise
would have taken 10. The days of leaping and jumping have come
again and the great public display of miracle working power is upon you.
It will not only be in stadiums and set timed events but rather in the
“Gate Beautiful” and other very visible and public places. Many
that have strived and walked faithfully for years in seeming obscurity
will suddenly step into the great spotlight of this grace and find
themselves in the maelstrom of miracles. This what they meant when
they said, “nameless and faceless” but these will suddenly have a name
and have a face and will magnify My name in a way that rivals those in
Hebrews 11. It will captivate millions as they see these things
displayed on story high TV screen in downtown New York City and on
monitors in Las Vegas Casinos.
The world will SEE My glory!
2007 THE OPENING BELL FOR THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH
Now is the time to contend and reach for the greater works. Like
Paul you must believe for the greater things
 and
begin to strive for that upward call like you have never done before.
As the bar is raised I will show Myself strong on My people’s behalf
opening the doors of the Supreme Court and the Whitehouse as never
before. I say watch and see for there are two more seats if you
will believe! I said watch and see – there are TWO more seats if
you will only believe! Grace will tip the scales of justice and
she will submit to My word. A mass exodus from the abortion
clinics will occur as you face the future with My grace. I then
saw a vision as it were boarded up buildings and “CLOSED FOR BUSINESS”
signs on these buildings in every state and city.
I knew that these were abortion clinics and that the Lord had wielded
His gavel of grace across this land and a new day had dawned.
The Lord then said, “These next seven years starting in 2007 will be
My appointed days of plenty. I will undo the heavy burdens of laws
and legislation that have been put upon you and this will mark the days
of the greater works. I will stall the plans of the enemy in this
country and the liberty to do My work will be plumb line before you.
For all that you have endured America is for the defense of the Gospel.
I said it is for the defense of the Gospel. Awake O righteous
church for the day of you divine deliverance has come. And the
court of My grace is now in session!

"THROW YOUR NETS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
REALITY – YOU’RE ABOUT TO QUANTUM LEAP"
"Look among the
nations and watch — Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work
in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.
(Habakkuk 1:5)
As I began to
receive this word from the Lord it started with this exhortation
regarding the statement above, “throw your nets on the other side of
reality”, making reference to the disciples in John 21:5-6 when
Jesus
said to them,
“Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some..."
I suddenly realized that it was nothing to do with the boat or what part
of the body of water that they were fishing in, what Jesus was
pinpointing here was their PERCEPTION and UNDERSTANDING of who He was at
that moment in time was incomplete. As they sat adrift in the boat
Jesus to them was powerless and dead – suddenly in a twinkling of an eye
He showed Himself able to do ALL THINGS for them RIGHT NOW as John the
revelator exclaimed, “It is the Lord!” The greatest breakthroughs
that are about to happen is our perceptions of Jesus and who He is and
what He is capable of doing in us. The lifeless waters of
our previous understanding that produced no fruit and left us with empty
nets is suddenly going to be transformed as our understanding of His
heart changes and “we all with open face beholding as in a glass
the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to
glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord…” (2 Cor 3:18)
ALL NATIONS SHALL CALL HIM BLESSED
David declared, “His
name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the
sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him
blessed.” (Ps 72:17).
This will be one of the greatest phenomena’s that we will experience as
a corporate church in this era of history - the unprecedented desire and
ability to reach the world for Jesus. His promise in Matthew 24:14
which has been impossible to accomplish within the confines of any one
generation will be suddenly within reach of all even at one time; “And
this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a
witness to all the nations”. “ALL THE NATIONS” will not
be such an overwhelming task as even the smallest grassroots ministry
without the previously required experience will have within their means
to reach “all the nations” in a moment of time as their understanding of
His promises are revealed. What has been clearly and acceptably
impossible before will literally in a twinkling of an eye be
astonishingly possible and literal. A quantum leap means,
“any sudden and significant change, advance, or increase”. Sudden
and significant change, advance and increase will define this generation
as they come into the fullness of Christ and His promises.
BACK TO THE FUTURE
AND THE KEYS TO THE PAST AND PRESENT
I saw as it was an
hour glass and instead of it going vertical or up and down, it was
horizontal or to the left and right. Rather than the sand emptying
into the bottom of the glass indicating the end of something instead
both sides were running together as the sand heaped up in the middle
pouring out on all sides. Horizontal also refers to or means “horizon”
or the future. I heard the Lord say, “This is the appointed time
that THE THINGS THAT I HAVE PROMISED IN THE PAST WILL NOW BECOME YOUR
FUTURE! Both are suddenly colliding with one another as that
which I have promised you for generations are now coming to pass.
Promises hitherto will now be your future as your future is defined by
the fulfillment of that which I have already promised. I will take
you BACK TO YOUR FUTURE SAYS THE LORD! These are the keys that I
gave to Peter. This is the rock of revealed truth that My church
is built on. Now I will reveal the bedrock of that Truth to a
single generation as they fulfill My great commission.
THE WAR IN HOLLYWOOD IS ONLY A BATTLE FOR YOUR PERCEPTION
I heard the Lord
say that statement with such clarity, “The war in Hollywood is only a
battle for your perception”. The enemy’s only effective weapon is
to rule our perception and understanding of who Christ is and who we are
in the world for Him. As that changes whether for the good or bad
it changes the world that is around us instantly. As the
centurion’s perception in Matthew 27 and those around him changed and
what they saw Jesus to be was altered it also SUDDENLY AND WITH GREAT
FORCE CHANGED THE WORLD AROUND THEM! “Now when the
centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the
earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly,
saying, Truly this was the Son of God!” (Matt 27:54).
Both of these events were hinged upon the other; the world changing
suddenly with great force and their perception of who Jesus was changing
with the same intensity. As Jesus changes our perception of who He
is and what He intends to do through us the world inevitably will
radically change around us not only in the spiritual but the natural as
well. Earthquakes of revelation and perception will rend the veils
of limited understanding and those utterly incapable of reaching the
word for Jesus will in a moment of time rise up to move mountains and
nations in Jesus name. No longer will the results be determined by
their own abilities or perceptions but by the awesome promises of the
Lord, “All kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve
him…” (Ps 72:11).
NOW IS THE TIME TO FULFILL YOUR DESTINIES AND UNLOCK THE HIDDEN
TREASURES WITHIN
“For God, who
commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts,
to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of
Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
Excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” (2 Cor
4:6-7).
I saw the hand of the Lord as if He was reaching into a honeycomb of
some kind and pulling out handfuls of precious honey. Then I heard
Him say, “I am drawing out the hidden treasures of My glory that I
placed in the hearts of My people before time as you know it in a
predestined place of My will. David saw this when he wrote, “Your
eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfected; and in thy book all my
members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet
there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O
God! how great is the sum of them!” (Ps 139:16-17). Those
that currently see themselves as a “lesser of the sum” and their
destines “without form” will come into a clarity of their future and
what I have called them to be and do. They will be a Lazarus that rises
up from the grave of previous and even present understanding and come
into a world changed by their perception of Me. Those that now
perceive themselves as the lesser will suddenly see the “sum” of My
thoughts toward them and they will do exploits. Literally the
earth will move before them changing, metamorphosing as my sons and
daughters are made manifest. The invisible power that changes
trends and perceptions will now give way to a greater day as My children
cry, “Abba Father”. The darkness of our own understanding is being
shattered by the Light of His glorious appearing in us now – then we
will turn our faces to the world as Moses did when he came down the
mountain and they will see the “light of the knowledge of the
glory of God” in us and the world will be changed. This
truly is the day of visitation and the day that you will be able to say
with all boldness, “IT IS FINISHED!”

"A WORD TO THE
DESPERATE, DERAILED, AND DAUNTED --THIS IS YOUR
YEAR!"
YOUR CAVE IS BECOMING YOUR CROWNING
ACHIEVEMENT!
The Lord says, "All
that you have endured--the misunderstanding and the
discouragement, even at times to the point of utter
despair, will only prove to be your crowning
achievement in My Kingdom. For those that suffer
with Me will inevitably reign with Me. Your Cave of
Adullam is now becoming your cave of absolution as I
compel you forward into every good work. The stones
that have sealed you in will now pave the way into
your future as you ride this next wave of
breakthrough!"
CLEAR AND PRESENT BREAKTHROUGH--IT'S NOT
FICTION, IT'S FACT!
I heard the words:
"CLEAR AND PRESENT BREAKTHROUGH" exclaimed
over 2007. This is the precedent that the Lord is
setting--a benchmark of breakthrough in 2007 that
like Joshua and Israel, will launch the Body of
Christ into an unparalleled spiritual position to
heal and take back the land.
I saw the "writing on
the wall" changing from DELIVERANCE to POSSESSING as
those delivered from every dreadful thing were
now possessing and taking back the inheritance of
their forefathers. Many who are related to
the first pioneers and missionaries that set foot on
American soil, will
now reap the inheritance reserved
for such a time as this. This is not fiction, it's
fact! The absolutes of God's promises are
overtaking us.
2007: THE YEAR OF UNLEAVENED VISION AND
DREAMS
"Therefore purge out the old leaven, that
you may be a new lump, since you truly are
unleavened..." (1 Corinthians 5:7).
The Lord says, "I am
removing the old and the expired that has clogged
the arteries of fresh vision and dynamic dreams.
My people will see a panoramic setting of their
future rather than a black and white backdrop of
previous experiences.
This is the year of unleavened vision unhindered
from the power of our past as the gravity of our
future moves us forward at record breaking speed."
The Lord says, "Mark
the calendar:
March will set a new standard not
only in the spiritual, but the natural.
April will bring new rain as it
sets in motion the birthing of great things.
May will be the starting point as
many begin to launch out in different directions.
June will be a month of Jubilee as
finances are poured out through open windows of
Heaven. All that you have sown will surely begin to
come back to you in June.
July will be a month of fire. You
will see it in the headlines and in the spirit.
Don't be persuaded by natural events; only be
confident that they are a confirmation of things to
come.
August will be a month of testing
to prove the unleavened vision that you have
received; make it through this month, and
September will surely result in great
harvest.
October will bring persecution, but
to those that are tried will receive a crown of
life. Hold fast to that which I have shown you."
THE BENCHWARMERS AND SIDELINERS ARE ABOUT TO
TAKE CENTER STAGE!
The first will be last
as God's promises are performed. God says, "Those
that have received no recognition or applause will
now be exalted in this their due time. Not to seats
of man's admiration, but to the courts of
God's favor. It will set them before
authorities and magistrates and even judges as they
speak My word in this season of restitution. They
will be My Esthers and Daniels turning back the tide
of unrighteousness resulting in breakthrough where
there was inevitable disaster pending."
"Like Elijah, they will pray and the Heavens will be
opened or the Heavens will be closed. New doors of
ministry will be revealed to so many as housewives,
factory workers, and retirees will have the unction
for full-time ministry. They will crisscross the
nations with a message of fulfillment and hope
setting back the Day of Judgment for many as they
preach Good News to the poor."
This is the year of the
desperate, derailed, and daunted--He has not
forgotten and will now outdo your wildest
expectations!

"THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS AND THE BILLOWING CLOUDS OF HIS
PRESENCE"
"I saw the doors of the White House
and the Congress opening to certain prophetic ministries as a precedent
of unity between Church and State begins in 2007." ( As featured on the
Elijah List)
The State of Our Union
On January 23rd, 2007, President Bush gave his "State
of the Union Address" as required by the Constitution of the United
States, which states: "(The President) shall from time to time give to
Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their
Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."
(Article II, Section 3). George Washington gave the first address
January 8th, 1790 in New York City.
As I watched this event unfold Tuesday night, I was
first struck with the magnitude of the title: "The State of the Union"
and its far reaching implications that went beyond the hallowed
corridors of American history. God was asking us on this 23rd day, of
January 2007, "What is your State of Union?"
For the first time, I suddenly saw the amplitude of the "State of our
Union or Unity" as His Body and how important it is to God. What
highlighted this was the "State of our Union," as our President stood
before a historic House of Representatives and Congress. This governing
body could not have been more widely divided as this address was being
made, and this cemented division is clearly illustrated in the general
spirit of American's everywhere as our "state of union" is tested like
never before.
I saw the paradox as well. This division and Divine testing of our
"state of union or unity" was not confined to a political paradigm; it
was for the Church as well. God is asking all of us in this hour, "What
is your state of union? Are you working toward My heart and a common
goal, or is it divided and becoming a House that cannot stand?"
A Vision of Billowing Clouds
At a certain point in the President's State of the
Union address as he began to comment about Africa and her plight, I was
suddenly arrested by the Spirit and a vision opened up to me.
I saw BILLOWING CLOUDS OF HIS PRESENCE that were
literally stories high. They filled the scope of my spiritual eyes and
were like nothing that I had ever seen. They appeared to me as clouds
moving like giant waves filling every vacant space with their presence.
As I saw this vision unfold, I heard the voice of the Lord from the
billows, "MY TRAIN FILLS THE TEMPLE!" Then I was clearly aware that
these billows were not clouds, but they were the garments and presence
of the Lord God Almighty Himself.
Then from the billowing train of the Lord, I heard the voice of
President Bush as he declared this and that about Africa, and then I
heard the Voice of the Lord again, as if the two voices were one, "WHOM
SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US?" I realized at that very moment,
that this was a great commission to the Church in this hour, and it
required an unshakable State of Union like never before, as the Church
was commissioned by God AND by our President as well. I then heard an
angel declare, "LOOK! THE KING AND HIS Kingdom ARE COMMISSIONED!"
I suddenly saw in the billows of His presence, certain ministries and
their strategic nature to bring about this Divine State of Union. I saw
prophetic ministries and the far-reaching ramifications of their labor.
I saw them as a razor-knife cutting away the grave clothes of division
from the Body that kept it from the State of Union which God was
declaring.
I then heard the President's voice (in the Spirit)
begin to declare his blessings over these prophetic ministries, as I
heard the President speak their names and he nodded in their direction.
I heard many names and ministries at this time that were divine
catalysts of God's State of the Union, as the Church moved toward this
Great Commission. I saw the doors of the White House and the Congress
opening to certain prophetic ministries as a precedent of unity between
Church and State begins in 2007 unlike any other political or spiritual
era before it.
I also observed some other ministries who had great presidential and
governmental favor begin to fade from the picture. I knew by the Spirit
that their time of favor and prominence had come to an end as this great
State of the Union unfolded. It was critical even beyond my present
understanding that these other ministries make way for the new.
I saw "GOD TV" as a forerunner to this State of the Union as a great
golden gate was opened between our continents, and I heard the Lord say,
"ONCE THERE WAS A REVOLUTION BETWEEN THESE COUNTRIES, NOW THERE SHALL BE
ANOTHER, BUT IT WILL BE FOR THEIR GREATER GOOD, NOT EVIL!" I knew by the
Spirit that the Lord spoke of Great Britain and The United States. This
great billowing train of His presence began to fill their houses of
political and spiritual representation as well. A great spiritual
revolution and revival had begun...
WATCHMEN--WATCH THE WEST COAST!
I then heard something very unnerving from the Clouds of His
presence. I heard the Lord say, "BEWARE OF ASSASSINATIONS AND MASS
ATTACKS. FOR THE ENEMY DESIRES TO TAKE THE CITY AS ONE MAN." I was
reminded then of what the Lord had declared to Gideon when he faced the
great army of Midianites, "And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be
with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man..." (Judges
6:16).
I knew though that this was for evil and not for good in the context
the Lord was showing me. The enemy of this State of Union would and is
now concocting elaborate schemes to thwart this Union and that they
would try to take down entire cities. I heard the Lord say at this time
in the vision, "WATCH THE WEST COAST, WATCHMEN WATCH THE WEST COAST!
WATCHMEN WATCH THE WEST COAST!" I knew too, that we had to pray IN UNITY
as never before to stop the flood of the enemies attacks. A series of
Scriptures leapt to my heart from the Lord as a first line of defense
when the Lord said, "I WILL RAISE UP A GREATER STANDARD IN THIS HOUR! I
WILL RAISE UP A GREATER STANDARD!"
"When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall
lift up a standard against him" (Isaiah 59:19).
Even in moments when it
seems irrevocable, the Lord will raise up a supernatural standard. Even
in this current political maelstrom, a righteous standard shall prevail
and everyone shall see it at once.
"Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people;
cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard
for the people." (Isaiah 62:10)
"Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard..."
(Jeremiah 50:2). A greater State of Union will prevail for the first
time in 300 years between Great Britain and the United States. Crisis
will solidify this Union like never before.
"In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and
close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will
build it as in the days of old..." (Amos 9:11).
I heard the Lord say, "This is your strategic prayer as in Amos 9:11:
CLOSE UP THE BREACHES! CLOSE UP THE BREACHES!'"
Let us together PRAY THIS:
'CLOSE UP THE BREACHES, CLOSE UP THE BREACHES!'"

Taylor (many of whose words have been posted on the ELIJAH LIST), is
"THE REAL GENUINE ARTICLE." I've been with him on the streets of
Portland, when he would say, "Stop the car" so he could speak words of
kindness to a person. I've been with him in McDonalds when his goal was
more to find someone to share Christ with than eat his own lunch. Chad
is not talk--He's action! Chad is a forerunner and an example to the
entire Body of Christ. Please spread his testimony to all who are
interested in the Harvest--who want to see it become a reality!!
