Re: The Prophetic Act of Cleansing the Waters (throwing the salt into the three rivers)
I saw... as the salt hit the water, I saw what appeared to be a vortex shoot up out of the water. Each salt grain became an angel that shot upward toward Heaven out of the rivers. They formed a vortex at the confluence of the rivers. Oh the power of the vortex! It was drawing in... sucking in... the demonic spirits that had existed in the waters in Fort Wayne. The Lord said the waters were cleansed this day.
But Lo!, He says. The Lord's work is not complete with just the cleansing of the rivers; His desire is the cleansing of the entire city. The vortex did not disappear or dissipate after the cleansing of the rivers; it is still there. The city will reap the whirlwind of the Lord's cleansing. This will mean destruction to every part of the city that is not His. It will mean destruction to more of the city than you think. I tell you this so you will be prepared. Do not be offended by the work I will do. For I will do this. I will cleanse the city for My glory.

Three Rivers Accords
Preface: Tonight, we prayed over the rivers in Fort Wayne as a spiritual and prophetic act of cleansing and healing the land. Across the country, groups met to conduct similar prayer meetings. We met at Headwaters Park at the place where the St. Mary's, St. Joseph's, and Maumee rivers intersect.
So what happened: We were praying (that' s what we do). I kept hearing this same phrase over and over and over and over again in my head. A cord of three strands is not easily broken. A cord of three strands is not easily broken. So I thought, okay, Lord, we're here standing before the confluence of three rivers in the heart of Fort Wayne. Three strands coming together. This is pretty cool. But that ws SOOO not it... We began praying for reconciliation between the white man and the native peoples of the region. We repented for the sins of our forefathers, those who made and broke treaties with the Miami tribe and who did such terrible deeds in the name of Jesus. I'm still hearing... A cord of three strands is not easily broken. A cord of three strands is not easily broken. Then I hear this: An accord of three strands is not easily broken. An accord of three strands? An accord is a synonym of treaty. An accord / treaty made of three strands woven together will not be broken. A real, true, honest accord of the white man, the native peoples, and Yahweh will not be broken. Man cannot do this on his own... The efforts of man are fallible and inevitably fail because we are all sinners. But with GOD, all things are possible. The Lord says, An accord (treaty) of three strands (white man, native peoples, and Yahweh) will NOT be broken.
What does this mean?: Question... what would be the spiritual significance of a treaty signing between the spiritual leadership of the Church of Fort Wayne and the spiritual leadership of the Miami peoples? I'm not talking anything at all political. I don't want any news agency involved though I believe it would be a historic day. What would it be like? Can you imagine? A treaty signing... A signed document in which both sides, white man and native, declare their fallibility... declare openly the sins they have committed in shedding blood on the land, breaking covenants with themselves (between the tribes) and with each other (white man and native), etc., followed by a joint resolution by all parties declaring that the spiritual authority of our region is and shall be Yahweh, as well as declaring joint goals of reconciliation, of ending abortion, of whatever goals we mutually share as followers of Christ... Signed and sealed. An accord made before men but, more importantly, before the throne of the Creator. An accord of three strands, White Man, Native, and Yahweh, shall not be broken.
Tonight is the next step in this journey... Tonight we prayed for the rivers, but, more important I believe is the meeting Ben and Denise Bouwers are having with Chief Buchanon and the spiritual leadership of the Miami tribe at the Longhouse Meeting in Wabash. This meeting will only be the beginning... It is only the first bud of a strong, fruit-filled tree coming into season after a long winter.
Isaiah 65
Whoever invokes a blessing in the land (we invoke your blessing tonight, Father) will do so by the God of truth;he who takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes. (Verse 16)
Then, the Lord says (verses 17-19): Behold!, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Fort Wayne to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Fort Wayne and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in her no more.
You can read on from there... Finish Isaiah 65. AMEN AMEN AMEN.
