I Will Blow Upon Chicago

A fire of revival is coming to Chicago. I will rekindle the revival coals in
Chicago. I will uncap the well and begin to compel a generation to the
throne of grace. The law could see my back but grace can see my face. This
will be a generation that seeks My face says the Lord. I will give them eyes
to see what other generations could not see. I will give them wings like an
eagle and they invade spiritual wickedness in high places. They will possess
heavenly places.
Chicago is a hearth of My heart and I will stir her. I
will disturb the waters of Bethesda and many will be healed. A great well of
healing will begin to spring forth in Chicago. Many will come to touch the
Son with healing in His wings. I will give into the hands of children this
great gift. Into the hands of the uncomely and unrecognized shall I move to a
greater degree. I will set the captive free. I will give this city My
liberty. I will undo heavy burdens placed by a previous generation, I will
open the prison doors that the past has secured. I will pour out My Spirit on
your sons and daughter O Chicago.
I will move upon governmental seats of authority. I will
turn the hearts of kings like water. I will erase the lines of corruption
that have traced themselves on the faces of your youth. I will do a new
thing. I take out the heart of stone and put in a heart of flesh. They will
lean upon My breast and know My heart. I will give them My heart says the
Lord, I will give them My heart. Awake O sons daughters! This is the day of
you visitation!
I will give you back your land. I will break the
generational curse that has overshadowed you. You will hide under the shadow
of the Almighty. Nations will call you blessed and industry shall abound. I
will create in you a clean heart and a right spirit. I will pour out the oil
of unity on your head and anoint your mouth to speak My words. You will ask
and I will give the heathen as your inheritance and the uttermost parts of the
earth as your possession. This is a chosen generation says the Lord, a chosen
generation.
I will put a prophetic and evangelistic oil on you. You
will prosper in the market place and the public place. The prayers you have
prayed in secret I will now reward you openly. I will bring justice and
reconciliation. Restoration and revival. Many people in high places will
repent of the sins of their forefathers and the land will be healed says the
Lord, the land will be healed. I will open up the fountains of the deep and
living water will flow. I will rain down righteousness where once corruption
prevailed. The gates of hell will be removed as I move through you O Chicago.
Now is the time to advance. Now is the time to gather in
the people, to sanctify the congregation. Let young and old come under the
tabernacle of My presence. Let the weak say I am strong and the poor say I am
rich because of what the Lord has done for us. Let the streets of Chicago
resound with singing. Let the tomb of Lazarus be open in this hour. Let the
discontent and those in debt come to My table says the Lord and I will feed
them there. Let the widow and the orphan find a place of honor in My house.
Let My strength be imparted to the weakest part. Let the river flow O
Chicago! Let the river flow!
