The new has begun, this prophetic adventure was like none I have done before. I am still processing it all, henceforth, why I have not documented it here on Facebook as of yet and not sure I will document it all here. The encounters I had were life changing and this morning in church the presence of God came in the room the minute Dustin, our leader, spoke his first words almost 90 minutes into the service. But once he started speaking, everything changed, the presence was palatable, his words were anointed, and the children began to release healing as worship ascended like incense. But back to our trip.

I left the house at 7:15am after a morning of the Lord showing me the numbers of the day, 2222 and 444, based on the date April 2, 2022. I was lead to read Isaiah 22 and Ezekiel 44 respectively. Isaiah is about the removal of one leader and the establishing of another. Ezekiel is about the corruption of one set of priests and the righteousness of another set. Ezekiel also speaks of the east gate. Only God knows how to orchestrate so many details so perfectly. I arrive at my friend Sharon Ward Shirley’s house and we get in the “chariot of fire” her red Mercedes we take on these adventures. We arrrive in Cleveland, TN and meet up with Katie as the Lord told me the East Gate into TN is in Cleveland, TN and there is religion at the gate, so I was to go cleanse the gate.

We meet at the Church of God headquarters and the first thing I see is a creek, so I salt the river according to 2 Kings 2:19-22 declaring no more death or barrenness. Katie senses there in actual gate, so she asks someone walking by and they confirm in the woods there is a gate. So we follow the trail and within a stones throw of the HQ we find not just one but two actual gates. One is even labeled a “portal” so we know we are in the right place. We decree fire in the gate and cleanse it of a spirit of religion with the blowing of the shofar to seal it. So begins our 15 hour day.

After cleansing the East Gate of Tennessse of the religion at the gate, we headed to our Eastern most part of the state to ask for the glory of God to be our story in this state. The drive was breathtaking. We wound through the mountains with trees on both sides, a river with kayakers and whitewater rafters enjoying the day. Mountains around us and in front of us for miles, it was amazing. Eastern Tennessee is gorgeous.

After about an hour drive we arrive in Murphy County at Field of the Woods, a Bible themed park. This park is home to Prayer Mountain where the Mr. Spurling, the man who broke away from the Baptist church due to the doctrines of men and went in pursuit of another reformation. He desired a NT church that focused on love and unity. He did not see the need for hierarchy when God could give us love and unity. All of this is documented on monuments at Field of the Woods.

We enter the Field of the Woods gate and to our left is the worlds largest 10 Commandments on Burger mountain to our right and to our left is prayer mountain. It is a site to behold. The church of of God, which is now 5 divisions of the church or God, built this location destination, for this is where Mr. Spurling went to pray, and God spoke to him and said on Prayer Mountain, establish a New Testament church, and with 8 people that is what he did. That church is now the Church of God in Cleveland, TN.

We drove up the mountain on the right side and at the very top is a cluster of flags to nations who have received the gospel of salvation. While up there I began to pray and blow the shofar, making a salvation declaration to the nations and the gospel of the kingdom being preached in every nation. It was a powerful day.

We live in a culture that revels in the truth that God is love and that God loves them, but that is not all God is. Humanism coupled with post-modernism has created such a culture of comprimise that we believe because God is love and God loves us, we are in a relationship with Him. But that is just not true. Presidents, Pastors, celebrities and people say “I love you”, but do you have a relationship with them? They speak it out to a large group of people, so all can hear it, but you do not know them and they do not know you. Therefore, the question is, what does it mean that they love you? What does it mean that God loves you? Does the truth that God loves you, cause you to follow Him? Does that truth prompt to you to spend time with Him? Or is it just another phrase we use to comfort ourselves in our sin?

God did not just say, I love you, according to the apostle John who walked with, talked with, ate with, Jesus. John said, “This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.” (1 John 1:5-10)

Yes God is love and He loves you, but that is an invitation to be in a relationship with Him, not a bumper sticker for your car or a placard to raise at a football game. But God is also Light, He is Truth, He is Life, and He invites us with love to come and follow Him out of darkness into Light, out of death into Life and from believing lies into Truth. I pray you accept the invitation to follow Him, for where He wants to lead you is greater than anywhere sin wants you to go. I pray you choose to follow Jesus!

Which throne are your eyes on? Men are being kicked off their thrones, seemingly daily, for immoral acts they have done, improper financial dealings they have committed, or even just because they are past the age of ruling in their sphere of influence. The thrones of men are temporary, they are corrupt and they are plentiful. We are going to be seeing more and more men dethroned and people are going to be devastated or delighted, but they are just the thrones of men. I hear the Lord saying, “Which throne are your eyes on?”

Thrones of men can be admired and desired by men, people think being famous, rich, powerful are the marks of “making it”, success or even control, but the thrones of men are an illusion, they are not reality. If you knew what it took to get on that throne, you would be astonished. The enemy always causes thrones to dazzle and sparkle in order to get us to focus on the thrones of men. Solomon said it this way in Proverbs 23:31-32 “Do not look on the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, When it goes down smoothly; At the last it bites like a serpent And stings like a viper.”

Which throne are your eyes on? The church building has built thrones called pulpits, people love the pulpit, they want to stand behind the pulpit, they want to hold the microphone, thinking it is the pinnacle location in the building. People leave church and come to church based on the person behind the pulpit, which throne are your eyes on? There is another throne, were we are to fix our eyes On. Hebrews 8:1-2 says, “Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.” Join all the others who have eyes on His throne!

Psalm 24 speaks of opening the gates so the king of glory can come in. God is rebuilding some gates like in the days of Nehemiah and He is cleansing other gates. God is about to come in through the gates of our nation. Finding those gates and repairing them or cleansing them is part of the final preparation before Passover. The King of Glory is about to come through the gates of nations. When the Lord reveals to you where a gate Into your state is, go there and cleanse it or repair it so it is ready for the King of Glory to come in. An example of this is the arch in St. Louis it is called the Gateway to the West, but it is also a gate into the state of Missouri. Go to that gate and cleanse it for the King of Glory is coming in.

Psalm 24 is what heaven is declaring right now. Open the gates, cleanse the gates, repair the gates my friends. In Ghana there is a gate it is actually called the Black Star Gate, we have had friends there cleansing that gate so the King of Glory can come into that nation. In San Francisco, CA there is a Golden Gate, if you are near there, cleanse the gate, so the King of Glory can come in. Not all gates are named gates but in the spirit we can discern that it is a gate. If the Lord reveals this to you, go to the gate and cleanse it, repair it for the King of Glory is coming in to the nations and the nations hear His voice at the gate for they are answering His call by saying, who is this King of Glory and the Lord is responding, the Lord, the Lord strong and mighty! My friends it is time for us to prepare the gates.

We have exchanged obedience for acceptance; comfort for correction; discipline for not wanting to hurt someone’s feelings; and respect for tolerance. Then we wonder why people are so easily offended, children are reckless and people are powerless. We have thrown away the values of the kingdom and embraced the culture in which we live. Instead of recognizing how much ground we have given up, we complain about how things never change not realizing we have no desire to change. We have chosen familiarity over the fear of the Lord and we are experiencing the consequences for it. We want people to tell us how to better ourselves not to die to ourselves. We have become soft and wonder why we are not strong. We don’t read our bibles, we don’t pray, we hear ourselves and call it God, then wonder why miracles don’t manifest, the presence of God does not fill the room and why people are not coming to “our” church. People of God, the problem is not what unbelievers are doing, the problem is what believers have given up.

Hebrews 2:1-3 says, “For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?”

I had a dream last night in which there was a tsunami coming, I knew it in the dream so was trying to find a “safe” place up high so the wave would not sweep me away, for I thought it was coming to destroy. When I found a place as high as I could go, someone was with me and we looked out in the distance and the person with me said, I see the dark clouds forming, it won’t be long now before it is here. All around us was blue skies, so the clouds forming confirmed there was a deluge coming, my body was reacting in fear but my spirit was saying to me, remember God said to Noah I will never flood the earth again with water, then my spirit said, remember Habakkuk 2:14 ““For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.” I knew this tsunami was God coming and I could see HIm in the distance. But the fear remained even when I woke up.

Now that I am awake and I am praying about this dream, the Lord says to me, “familiarity of Me has replaced the fear of Me.” I then remembered when I first came to Smithon, MO to the outpouring there, the power of God scared me. God is not who we have made Him out to be and when He shows up in power it is going to scare us in our flesh, for we have become so familiar with God, but He is not one we are to be familiar with, we are to live with the fear of the Lord, for He is God and we are not. This next wave of God coming to earth is going to be so powerful, it is going to scare us, heal us, revive us, recalibrate us, realign us and we are going to feel so much better when it does. We are out of order, we can’t fix ourselves, but the fear of God can and it will. A huge wave is on its way right towards us and nothing can stop it and no one will be able to control it.

I see people carrying bags of seed, as they walk about they are scattering seed wherever they go. The bag is burlap and the seed is plentiful. They stick their hand in the bag and without fear of running out scatter seed about. Words are seeds, we have been given an abundance of words to speak to everyone we meet. Words of life, words of hope, words of truth, words of instruction, words of correction, words of direction. Sowers will never run out of seed, for the seeds they sow become bread that the hearer eats.

2 Corinthians 9:10 “Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;”

God will always supply and multiply your seed, so keep sowing for their is a harvest of righteousness growing. Righteousness is what exalts nations, righteousness is what heals marriages, righteousness is what sets captives free, righteousness is of a higher value than money. That is why Paul said, your seeds produce a harvest of righteousness, it is not a cash crop. If you preach to get paid, you missed your harvest.

Sowers are going to be supplied and multiplied because they sow wherever they go. Sowers, God sees you, keep sowing, the harvest of righteousness is growing. Sowers will never run out of seed to sow as long as they continue to sow. Sow, sow, sow, for this is how your bag of seed remains full. Your seeds are their bread and God’s harvest of righteousness.

The creativity of God is seen in the diversity of humanity and creation. From the variety of plant species and fish to the innumerable fingerprints and various skin tones. God loves diversity and He calls us to celebrate it whenever we see it, hear it or experience it. Diversity is the manifestation of creativity and it reveals the Lord’s robe of many colors. David said in Psalm 2 in a prophetic utterance “Ask of me and I will give the nations as your inheritance.” The nations are Jesus’ inheritance and He loves how diverse, colorful and expressive they are. He looks at the nations and smiles.

Due to this love of diversity God has, He loves to speak in diverse ways to His people. We all have ways we hear God and just as in Acts 2 when those gathered in Jerusalem from all the various nations, They heard God in their own language, so God speaks in a language we understand. For some people He speaks in songs, others it is in colors, others its pictures and for some it is numbers. This is only a few of the ways God speaks, but if you can learn the language He speaks to you in, you will hear His voice more clearly. One way God speaks to me is through numbers. One number God has used in my life is 4, 44, and 444. Today, I was smiling and laughing with God about all the answers to prayer He is giving me as I pray for other people. I am giddy laughing as I hear others rejoice in the answer and God getting the glory. Today, as this giddy excitement was rising, the Holy Spirit said, “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice!” The kiss from heaven for me is the verse is Philippians 4:4, its a 44.

There is great celebration breaking into our atmosphere, the days of heaviness are done and the days of celebration have begun. Shake off the spirit of heaviness, put on the garment of praise, because the kingdom of God is at hand and the Lord is manifesting victory, victory, victory for us and for His glory!

The pace of grace has shifted gears, we are now moving at a different pace than we were. This is an accelerated pace, but if you don’t try to go slower or faster than the pace God has given us, there will be grace on this pace, just as there was on the slower pace we had been walking in. Things are going to happen quicker now for we have moved from preparation to activation. No need to kick open doors, but you do need to walk through them when they open. No need to make things happen, but you do need to lean into them when they do happen. Just flow with the pace of grace and you will not miss a thing. This is God’s appointed time and God’s pace of grace. He set the speed and the time and we are being swept up in it.

For some this is exhilarating and for others it will be overwhelming, but it is God so it is going to be so so good. If you don’t resist the pace and you don’t rush the pace, you will enjoy the fruits of the grace that come on this path that is dripping with milk and honey. I woke up this morning hearing the lyrics being sung in the spirit, “If you said it we believe it…for you are a man of your word!” (Maverick City Music). I kept hearing it sung in my spirit and the Lord whispered, “I am doing what I said I would do.” I got the sense we need to remind ourselves of the things he promised us, for He is about to manifest that which He spoke to us. This is His appointed time, that is why this is all happening. Enjoy the pace of grace my friends, it is accelerated from the last season, but it is so so good.

Amos 9:13 (MSG) “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” GOD’s Decree.

“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.”

I am seeing in the spirit the game “Red Rover”. In the game Red Rover, there is a line of people linking arms and they say, to the other team, “Red rover, red rover, send _______________ right over.” As I am seeing this, I saw when the links in the line were broken because whatever was sent over broke through the wall that was linked there. But today, I hear those same words, “Red rover, red rover send ___________ right over” but this time the line is bending a bit but it is absorbing that into the line that has been built strong. No longer shall the line be broken, it may bend but it is not breaking.

I hear the Lord saying, my wall of intercessors have been receiving the enemy sending things at them and in the past the links have been broken for the enemy always sends something to the weakest link in the line, but the Lord says, the line is stronger now, the wall will not be moved, the enemy is still sending things over, but this time they are going to be absorbed and become part of the line that has already formed. People who are sent over will recognize the power, authority and strength of the line and they will want to join in, henceforth, they will be absorbed in. The days of the line breaking and people defecting to the enemy is over, now the enemy is sending people over and they are being absorbed into the wall that is not going to move.

As in the days of Nehemiah, they rebuilt the wall, the Lord has rebuilt the wall in our nation and more and more and more people are being added to it daily. Saul’s are becoming Paul’s, Simon’s are becoming Peter’s; change is happening faster than we can recognize for the Lord has changed hearts while the enemy was overplaying his hand. Power has shifted, so “Red rover, red rover, send whoever you want on over” because the Lord is arresting and absorbing them upon impact!

In prayer this morning I sensed in the spirit a speed that demands us to be streamlined. It was as though I saw the arms of a clock spinning around the clock at an uncommon pace. The Lord made it clear to me that we must keep things simple if we are going to move at His speed. The Holy Spirit then dropped the verse in Hebrews 12:1 in my spirit, “Since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith.” The key word highlighted to me was not sin, but encumbrance. It means bulk, mass, weight, bulging, hinderance.

The days of excess are over and the days of access are upon us. If you have access to abundance you do not need to hoard excess out of fear of running out. Religion operates in excess, the kingdom operates in access. The demarcation is going to become more and more clear. When Jesus sent out the 70 to go ahead of him to a variety of cities, He told them to not bring excess for He had granted them access (Luke 10). These men came back and reported all they did in Jesus’ name, they were streamlined and therefore were able to access power and move swiftly from place to place.

There has been a quantum shift that has taken place in the spirit, the days of slow moving, trudging through religious ways of doing things are over for the kingdom of God is at hand. Just like there are still people who have landlines in their house, there will always be those who remain in religion, but just like the majority of people have gone mobile with cell phones, so will most people streamline in order to move at the pace of the kingdom. Everything has changed, now we must be quick to conform for the kingdom of God is at hand.
