Forward to a FriendThe Lord has been showing me that May 27th will be a major shift day in the spirit. The idea of seasons in the natural are just a reflection of the fact that there are seasonal shifts in the spirit realm. I don’t really know anymore, but I will report what I see and hear.

Wounded Leaders 5/2/12
I saw leaders in the Body of Christ being wounded by their own men. Beware, for this greatly grieved the heart of God, and those men who participated in the wounding, lived with a shame all their lives.
Update (concerning late season snowfall) Read about the Snowstorm
ISAAC TIME UPDATE. 2/20/12
Just recently, I posted a word called “Isaac time”. It was basically how God is going to get the last laugh, that there are things that seem to have gotten to a place where they are just never going to come to pass, promises or situations; but then you are going to discover that God wins and that he will get the last laugh so we are to keep standing and believing.
The update is this: the Lord showed me that there are going to be some late season huge snowfalls, even maybe record snowfalls in different places, not just around the country but around the world and it will be a sign that it’s not too late. That God will have the last laugh. It’s been a very mild winter in most places. There are going to be some huge snowfalls occurring late in the season and it’s going to be God’s sign that it’s never too late, but he does get the last laugh. So be looking out for those and see what they are when they come.
BELOW IS A FULFILLMENT OF THIS PROPHECY. Take this prophetic word to heart in your situations.
Eight inches of snow covered parts of Somerset, Pennsylvania, on Monday. A storm beginning in the Northeast pushed west, covering Spring blooms.

Rare snowstorm hits Northeast

NEW: Snow-laden trees and limbs threaten power lines
NEW: Winter storm warnings remain in effect for parts of Pennsylvania, New York
Up to 16 inches of snow possible in some parts of the Northeast
Low temperatures will continue through Wednesday, CNN meteorologist says
(CNN) — So much for April showers.
A large and unexpected storm came barreling through the Northeast on Monday, threatening to drop more than a foot of snow in some places.
Winter storm warnings remained in effect Monday night for parts of Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia, according to the National Weather Service.
Earlier in the day, Newfield, New York, was reporting 10 inches of snow, while Ridgebury, Pennsylvania, had 8 inches. More accumulation was expected, especially in higher elevations.
CNN iReporter Quinten Johnson sent in a photograph from Smethport, Pennsylvania, where a sign advertising a spring bazaar was covered in snow.
“We’ve already seen broken branches, and we are worried about the power lines,” he said. “Everyone is shaking their heads and they are like — that is life. Everyone put away their shovels and snow plows and got out their lawnmowers, and it is snowing.”
Heavy snow, rain pound Northeast
The blustery blast follows a mild winter that saw little snow and the warmest March on record.
“The last time we had a big snowstorm across the East Coast was back in October,” when fall foliage was still on the trees, said CNN Meteorologist Rob Marciano.
“This has been a crazy, crazy winter” in the region, he said.

Snowstorms of this magnitude are very rare for this late in April. Forecasters expect record snowfall for this time of year in some areas.
The highest recorded snowfall for Pittsburgh on this date was a half-inch in 1956. Up to 5 inches of snow were forecast for Monday, the weather service said.
Snowfall rates in central Pennsylvania were expected to reach 1 inch per hour at times on Monday afternoon, said CNN Meteorologist Sean Morris.
One “bull’s-eye is Dubois, Pennsylvania,” he said.
Another is Erie, Pennsylvania, where snowfalls totals along the southern side of Lake Erie could reach 16 inches, Morris said.
“The snow will be heavy and wet. The weight of the snow accumulating on trees combined with gusty winds could cause branches to come down on power lines, resulting in widespread power outages,” he said.
Pete Petriani, who heads Erie’s Bureau of Streets, told CNN affiliate CNN affiliate WICU that depending on how heavily it snows, crews “may have to do a little filling up of the back of trucks just for weight if we have to go out and plow. But if it comes, we’ll be ready. It won’t be a problem.”
Snowfall amounts of 6 to 14 inches are forecast for the Allegheny Mountains of western Pennsylvania and near Lake Erie, the weather service said.
The snow won’t last long, Morris said. Temperatures are expected to rise into the 40s and 50s this week, with overnight lows remaining above freezing.
Late Monday morning, one weather watcher reporting to CNN affiliate CNN affiliate WIVB had recorded 5 inches of snow near Boutwell Hill State Forest, southwest of Buffalo.
A public works dispatcher said 4 to 6 inches of snow had accumulated “on the hilltops, somewhat less in the valleys” of Chautauqua County in western New York state by early Monday afternoon.
“We have a few limbs that have fallen, nothing too big yet, nothing we can’t handle,” said dispatcher Rick Heath. “All of our (plow) trucks are out, and we’re looking at more snow tonight.”
The system rained out both the Mets and Yankees baseball games on Sunday.
A “pattern shift in the jet stream over the weekend” caused the weather change, with temperatures dropping in the country’s eastern half and spiking in the west, CNN Meteorologist Sarah Dillingham said. “This trend will continue through Tuesday and Wednesday,” though by Wednesday, temperatures will be working their way closer to normal, she said.
Silver Tsunami 4/18/12
Yesterday, there was a headline on Fox News that said, “Silver Tsunami.” It was about how many Seniors will be driving in the days to come, and it’s dangers. I have received a number of words over the last year or so about the place of the mature in age in this emerging move of God. One was called Seniority Citizens. I encourage you to look that one up. When I saw the headline yesterday the Lord began to speak to me again about the role of those over fifty in the purposes of God at this strategic time in Church history. The Silver people will be radically involved in this growing Tsunami of God, and they will wreck a lot of people’s lives for Jesus. These are all children of the late 40′s, 50′s, and early 60′s. These are the Rockers, and they will rock the world for Jesus. They are the great surfer generation. It’s where all the legends come from. They know how to surf. It’s the generation that challenged the norm, the status quo, and they will again. They will shake off the fear of the Silver generations before them, and they will die risking it all for the pleasure of His Pleasure. God is certainly revealing a Silver Tsunami people all over the world. If you are over fifty, don’t dare give in to the culture of retirement. There is an anointing on you to ride the Big One. It’s the best years of our lives.
Window Shopping 4/18/12
I heard the Lord say this morning, “It’s time to stop window shopping. It’s time to stop living on the edges of reality.” Many of us have spent most of our lives window shopping the presence, heart, and purposes of God. It’s time to stop. Many of us have lived on the edges of the reality of the Glory of God, without plunging in. It’s time to take the plunge, and enter into the Glory Cloud, and purpose to live there. Window shoppers are forever gazing on things they long for, but won’t pay the price to obtain it for ourselves. It’s time to lay down the fear and obtain that Glory, that intimate Presence, that extravagant Destiny, that Heartbeat of Jesus forever ringing in your ear. On the Mount of Transfiguration the three enter into the cloud of Glory. They didn’t just stand on the edge of glory with curiosity and longing, they entered in. The Cloud is here. It has come down like a fog, in response to the praises of the One Thing Warrior Worshippers. They have made it easy for us. Go through the door. Run to the Cloud. Once captured, there will no escape from the furnace of His burning heart.
Ancient Wars 4/17/12
There have been ancient wars that have never officially ended. Some of you have been at war with your Brothers and Sisters In Christ for many years. Even though open hostilities have ended, you are content with no Peace Treaty. Without the Peace Treaty, the war continues, and the hostilities still continue in the depths of your heart. Because, of these ancient Wars that won’t be publicly declared “OVER”, many of you are suffering unnecessary losses, and are causing others around you in the Camp to exist outside of Gods’ favor at some levels. Tolerance is not peace. We are called to love one another, not tolerate one another. Love flows from peace. I heard the Lord saying in a very loud and serious voice, “I am growing Intolerant with those are content with living in Tolerance, and not Love.” I’ve never heard the voice of God quite so firm. We live in such a strategic time of taking ground for the great move of God that He longs for, that we can ill afford to have the sin that God hates the most, to remain in the Camp. Your personal war is now costing your church or even your city. It is time to come in Union with the wounded heart of Christ, which is a burning furnace of mercy, and allow the love of Jesus to flow to the very ones that have wounded your heart. The wounded heart of Jesus remains open. It isn’t covered over with protective scar tissue. This is a very critical time for those of you who have pretended peace with your perceived adversary, even those there has been no treaty. It is past time for you to come to peace. It is time to go to to them and declare peace; to officially proclaim to them the war is over. It is time to forgive from the heart, and in union with the vulnerable heart of Jesus, love them openly. This could be the lynchpin to the breakthrough in your life, and to the spiritual community around you.
Wildfire update
Original word given on 4/3/12
‘Perfect recipe’ for wildfires as season starts early
By Miguel Llanos, msnbc.com
The U.S. wildfire season that typically starts in late spring has taken off this month, with crews tackling fires up and down the East Coast in recent days.
Twenty-five states, all east of the Rockies, posted their warmest January-March periods on record, and many Northeastern states have had their driest starts ever.
“Those two factors, and recent wind, is a perfect recipe for fire” in the eastern U.S., Weather Channel meteorologist Mike Seidel told NBC News.
Humidity also also been low, and there’s lots of fuel in the form of brush to burn.
“We haven’t seen many rainstorms nor snowstorms and all the vegetation that grew up rapidly from last winter’s rainfall is just all dry and ready to burn,” noted meteorologist Janice Huff of New York’s WNBC-TV.

On Wednesday, the immediate threat shifted west as “red flag warnings” advising of severe fire potential were posted for parts of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.
Those states have seen above average temperatures, and some are also in drought.
The eastern U.S., meanwhile, wasn’t completely off the hook on Wednesday. Parts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia saw red flag warnings.
Moreover, New Jersey saw a new brush fire on Wednesday just off the state turnpike near the Izod Center arena.
And in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, a wildfire that started Tuesday has destroyed four buildings with 48 vacation condominiums.
Efforts to control the fire, near Sevierville, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, were being hampered by steep slopes.

Fire rages at the English Mountain Condominium Resort near Sevierville, Tenn., on Tuesday. More than 175 people were evacuated as fire consumed 48 condominiums.
“It’s down to the drudgery of climbing this steep, steep mountain and digging out fire lines by hand,” Reuters quoted state forest official Ted Dailey as saying.
On Tuesday, crews battled brush and wildfires in several eastern states.
On New York’s Long Island, two brush fires merged into one that consumed three homes and nine business properties across 1,000 acres before firefighters got the upper hand.

This home on New York’s Long Island was among three destroyed Tuesday by a brush fire.
In Florida, most of which is in drought, 89 wildfires were burning as of Tuesday, according to the Florida Forest Service.
Eighteen fires were larger than 100 acres and the largest, a lightning-sparked blaze in the Osceola National Forest near the border with Georgia, more than doubled on Tuesday to 25,000 acres burned.
National Interagency Coordination Center
Across the nation, the next few months do not look any better.
“Severe to extreme drought conditions continue for much of eastern New Mexico, western Texas, parts of the upper Midwest and much of the Southeast coast,” the National Interagency Fire Center said in its outlook posted on April 1. “Worsening drought was occurring over much of the Southwest including California and the Great Basin.”
“During May through July above normal temperatures are likely across most of the Southwest and Great Basin, and the Gulf and East coast states from Texas to Maine,” it added.
Lovers and Leaners
In our day God forming Lovers and Leaners at an accelerated pace.
Many of you have been through an extended Wilderness. It’s all been about accelerated maturity. The Lord tells us in John 15 that pruning accomplishes accelerated fruitfulness. God will sometimes sacrifice the external to develop the internal and eternal. It’s the Lame that take the plunder. Song of Solomon 8:5 tells us that the point of the wilderness is that when you come up out of that place, you will COME UP LEANING on the One, who has in the wilderness become your Beloved. In these critical times God is accelerating maturity for those whose hearts have caught a vision that “His love is better than wine,” and that He is the “fairest among ten thousand.” For those who have discovered in the wilderness that He is the love of their life, and they have come up leaning, there will be an accelerated maturity in their inner man regardless of physical age. They will have the youthful heart of the elderly saints, whose inner man lives in perpetual renewal, and who carry a heavy weight of eternal glory. Listen to Jesus’ words to Peter about the difference between youthfulness and maturity. John 21:18-19, “Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself, and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you (flesh) do not wish to go. Now this He said, signifying what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me!” When we are young in the Lord, we are strong, and we are driven by zeal. We are full of passion and options. When we are mature we are weak, and we’ve learned to lean. The mature are compelled by love which transcends the shifting sands of zeal. The mature are girded about by SOMEONE else, for they only have one lovesick option. The compelling love of Christ drives them to Follow, ignoring the whimpering of the flesh. They stretch out their hands as a sign of one who has been marked by the madness of the Cross. The thirsting heart of Christ, revealed fully at the Cross, and radically realized in the Wilderness, has rendered them helpless (helplessly in love) and fully surrendered. In the wilderness they have surely died to all other options than Jesus. This is the kind of death that glorifies God.
The children of the Wilderness are coming up out of the wilderness, but no longer children, but as a powerful burning army empowered with supernatural weapons, because of their leaning, and compelled by love to follow Him anywhere, and to pay any price love may require.
In these days, if you are in the Wilderness, don’t pray for God to deliver you from that place; instead, pray that God will bring you up leaning on the one you have deeply fallen in love with.
In these days, many of you WILL come up out of your wilderness having been formed by God in that place to be Lovers and Leaners.
Self Denial 4/3/12
I saw in a vision people being led up to a fence by Angels. The Angels were wanting the people to look over the fence and see what was on the other side. On the other side of the fence was a beautiful, and bountiful land with rivers of mingled milk and honey flowing through it. I have never seen a more beautiful place. The people who were looking at this land that flowed with milk and honey were standing in a wilderness place. They were ancient, and worn looking. I asked the Lord what I was seeing, and He said that these were people who lived lives of self denial, not the denial of self, who had lived hidden away in the wilderness. They had lived many years unwilling to face the truth about their flesh. they had lived in denial for so long it seemed as if they were chained, and unable to face, and live in the truth. He said, “I am giving them the opportunity give up their self protection for all of His provision. The fence was called VULNERABLE. He is giving them a chance to gaze on His provision of life lived in the Land of Promise, longing to lure them to cross over the fence of vulnerable repentance, to live in the place of transparent freedom and joy. May the revelation of life more abundant overwhelm the spirit of self protection that has deceived many into believing that the wilderness is a safe place. I saw many laying down the chains of denial, and taking the merciful, and loving nail scarred of Christ, who was on the other side, and being lifted over into their land of favor and destiny.
Covert Schemes 3/20/12
The enemy is a stealth warrior. He is a Guerilla fighter, operating in the dark. Many of you are going through things that just don’t make sense, that just don’t line up, and your not sure how to do battle because everything is unclear. Right now, the Lord is exposing the covert schemes of the enemy. All you have to do is stand in faith that God will expose the enemy’s tactics,and He, at just the right time, will. Just rest in that place of trusting Him. Allow him to lift your head above the battle. Don’t strive or stress. That will blind you to the revelation of God as He exposes the enemy. Fear causes us to fire our divine weapons in all the wrong places out of panic.
A Drunken Army 3/20/12
Last week I heard the Lord say this in my spirit, “I am trying the hearts of men and women throughout the earth, to raise up a drunken army, whose hearts are intoxicated with the love of Christ.” A lovesick Bride, armed with the Burning Heart of Jesus conquering the broken hearts of fallen humanity, changing everything around them as they bring the Heat. I’ve been sitting on this word for about a week because I knew there was more the Lord wanted to show me. Yesterday someone said something to me about Volcanos and when they did, revelation immediately began to rise up in me. Deep below the surface, pressure and heat begin to melt rock forming magma. That magma begins to force its way to the surface at a very slow pace through fissures, but the closer it gets to the surface the faster the magma travesl until it is traveling at several hundred miles an hour creating huge bubbles of molten rock that are trying to expand. There is only one direction it can expand and that is up, and nothing can resist it exploding through the surface with gases and lava. If there is enough pressure, the eruption changes the surrounding landscape forever.
This is what is happening in the lives of believers all over the world. Deep in their inner man the great heat and holy pressure of God’s love is melting their hearts. As their hearts intensely burn for Jesus, their burning hearts now in union with His comes exploding to the surface in passion and witness. The pressure of their inflamed hearts can’t be hidden or contained. The Lava will flow and it will change everything around them. I saw in the Spirit many volcanos exploding in violent eruptions. I knew each Volcano represented a new heart inflamed and intoxicated with the burning heart of Christ. It’s as if the Holy Spirit is evangelizing the saved with the good news of the SO!!!! love of God. I saw old volcanos that had once erupted but had been dormant for years coming alive and exploding, and I saw new Volcanos being formed in fields where no Volcano had existed before. Just think, an army of erupting Volcanos, erupting all over the world.
Sunken Treasures 2/26/12
Sunken treasures
The Lord showed me that this is a time to discover sunken treasures. We are in a season of great revelation. That’s true of course, in terms of the month of Shevat in the Jewish calendar, but it even extends beyond that in that we are in a time in church history where the purposes and seasons of God are just really important so the people of God don’t just understand his acts, but understand his ways as well. And so he’s revealing his heart, revealing his ways, revealing the insights of his heart to his friends, like it says in John 15, that God has been working in the hearts of his church and he has set apart those who love him and who he calls “true friends”. When you have a friend, you disclose to them the secrets of your heart and God is doing that now; he’s teaching people his ways, revealing the secrets of his heart, those things that seem to be beyond apprehension and comprehension, the Lord is now making them clear. He is equipping people in the spirit realm to search and find things that they have searched for and not found for years. Just as treasure hunters can search and search, suspect hidden treasures, but never find them for many, many years. Now the Lord has equipped the body of Christ with spiritual equipment to be able to recover sunken treasures, insights of the heart of God that may have been misplaced or have been forgotten. One of the things that God is doing is revealing ancient things, uncovering and unearthing ancient wells, sort of sunken treasures inside of truths that God has spoken to his church for 2000 years, truths that the body of Christ has laid aside. We have walked in foolishness to think that this is the only generation that has really received a true revelation of God, and that’s a great mistake for us to make that puts us in harm’s way. The reality is when God speaks the word, a prophetic word, when he speaks a prophetic insights, when he gives a revelation, it is an eternal word. Everything that comes after, unless it’s for a particular generation which the Lord will make really clear if that’s true, whenever God speaks a word, whether it’s 2000 years ago or 10 years ago, anything new he speaks builds on those words, doesn’t replace them. God is not confused, he is not tossed to and fro. The Lord is building and building; his church is the temple, it’s his building block. In Ephesians 2, he’s building something in the house of God and those building blocks are all the things he has spoken and said to his people throughout the history of the church.
What happens to us is that we have a tendency, with every move of God, to forsake those things God has spoken in the last move of God. I’ve often heard that the greatest threat to the new move of God is the past move of God. But it’s also true that the greatest threat to the past move of God is the new move of God. What I mean by that is, when we move into a new place in the Lord, God is going to give us new revelation, a fresh revelation, to build on the one we’ve heard previously. The old move and the new move shouldn’t be at war with each other. The old move shouldn’t try to constrain the new move to stay where the old move has been, and the new move shouldn’t forsake and leave behind the spirit of the fathers in the old move of God, or it will be in error, doing either thing. To advance, the old move of God has to bless the new move of God, but to move forward, the new move of God must have the old move of God to go with it to build on. That’s the way this works and yet, we’ve been at war with each other and there’s been these 2 battles going on, like the old move wants it’s way and the new move wants its way too, but they’re kin to each other, they belong to each other. They must walk together with all the ancient relatives from every move of God previously, or we won’t walk in the full revelation of God. And so we see the Lord digging up ancient wells, discovering sunken treasures like the wonders of Eucharist, many things like that, ancient treasures. It talks about them a lot in Psalm 78. It talks about God uttering dark sayings of old, which we have heard and known and our fathers have told us. It says in Psalm 78:4, “we will not conceal them from our children, but tell the generation to come the praises of the Lord and his strength and his wondrous works which he has done’. It says, “for he established the testimony of Jacob and appointed the laws of Israel which he commanded to our fathers so we would teach them to our children, that the generation to come might know them, even the children yet to be born, that they may arise and tell them to their children”.
So you see here that the old things spoken previously and the new things spoken come together, belong to each other. We can’t survive without both of them, we have to have them both. It is so significant that in this time, when we are discovering hidden treasures, they are not just fresh insights, but they are going to be insights that have been old insights and we are going to discover God bringing the two together so the church can go forward in true fullness.
