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.

Isaiah 4: A Prayer
Isaiah 4 (Normal):
In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy. It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.
Isaiah 4 (Amended):
In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Indiana. Those who are left in Allen County, who remain in Fort Wayne, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Fort Wayne. The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Allen County; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Fort Wayne by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. Then the LORD will create over all of Allen County and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory of the LORD will be a canopy. It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.
I love how rich the Word of the Lord is... I used to think it was just so absolutely boring, but in the context of prayer it is just coming alive!
Anyways, tidbits... I didn't put in the context... What happened in Chapter 3 that we are called "survivors?" I love that we will be called holy... Wow... We will be holy... Verse 4 is the best, though... The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Allen County (which I take as the Strip Clubs... See previous post.) He will also cleanse the bloodstains from Fort Wayne (duh! abortion) by Spirits of Judgment and Fire... I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but Lord come!! Come wash over us! Come cleanse us! Restore Fort Wayne to her glory for Your glory! I love the wilderness allegory. Just as the Lord led the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan, he wants to lead us now. Do we trust him? Or do we want to go back to Egypt? Are we satisfied with manna and quail? Or do we want meat? It is in the wilderness where the people learned to lean on God... It is out of the wilderness where the Shulamite comes out leaning on her Beloved...
Come, Lord... Let your glory fall! Come, Rain... Come, Reign...
Okay I will do more later...

Moving Mountains
IHOP 6 a.m. set, 4/4/07... It generally always happens at the 6 a.m. set...
I have this vision of moving mountains. I am standing here on the road looking forward and I see a bright white light shining over top of the mountains and I just know that it's Jesus. (Side note: "He'll be coming 'round the mountains when He comes." The song was just in my head.) Anyways, I want to move closer to Jesus and so I tell the mountains to get out of my way and they do it. But then I'm given this entirely new perspective... In me telling the mountains to move, what actually happens is Jesus from the other side is throwing the mountains out of His way to His Beloved. It's interesting from my perspective when I see the mountains moving... I might think, "Wow, God! Look at that!" when in reality it's all completely and totally Jesus doing it all, throwing the mountains aside, simply because I want to be closer to Him. He responds by moving closer to us. I haven't moved a step yet, you see... I just told the mountains to move and it was almost instantaneous before the Son of Man was standing there next to me face to face. But that's not all... We have met here on this path... We're standing there face to face... Face to face... Do you get that? And I am given another perspective... Jesus and I have our eyes locked on each other and then we turn toward the Light shining over us... We stand before our Father God at the great Wedding Banquet, our Father/Pastor pronouncing the love of the Son toward His Beloved and that of the Beloved toward the Son...
Blessed is he who is invited to the Wedding Feast of the Lamb!!!

Vision #2 from the Divine Experiment
Revelation 4. There is a door standing open in the heavenlies. A door that no man can shut because God has opened it. Here we are, like John, here on Earth looking toward Heaven for the answer to every question we've ever wondered... And we can see, on the other side of the doorway, a pure, bright, white light. The presence of God was there.
But as I looked I was not called up in the Spirit... I stood there, waiting... Waiting for what? I don't know... My eyes were transfixed on the doorway... And as I looked the light grew brighter... And brighter... And brighter... And then there He was... Standing in the doorway... One like a Son of Man (Revelation 1)... Jasper, carnelian, sardonyx, emerald rainbow halo, hair white like wool, eyes of blazing fire, His voice like the rushing waters, the golden sash, the robe dipped in blood, and the feet glowing like burnished bronze... The Son of Man standing there in the doorway between Heaven and the world. And He stepped down!!
JESUS IS COMING!!!!

Vision #1 from Divine Experiment
A vision concerning the Fusion Leadership Weekend and the 21 Day Divine Experiment...
I saw what appeared to be a Seraphim descend from heaven, land and stand in the corner of the building where we were meeting, and he proceeded to wrap his wings completely around us. And the Spirit of Pentecost descended upon the people meeting there... A fire from Heaven... The fire of the presence of the Lord... We were baptized into that spirit on that day. So what's up with the Seraphim?? He was there to limit the anointing... I don't know if that's how I want to say it... The Seraphim was there so that the Holy Spirit baptism would come up those meeting in the room... It was a gift for us. We were ready... We are ready... But what lies ahead? It's like the two Seraphim on each side of the Ark of the Covenant standing over the Mercy Seat of Christ as the sacrifice is made and the Lord accepts the offering. Are we the Atonement Cover? Will our blood be spilled for the Cause? I'll come back to that...
And last Friday night I heard the Lord tell us to tell him this: Take away the Seraphim. What does that mean? When the Holy Spirit fire falls, what will contain it? Nothing! It will spread uncontrollably like wildfire... Not by any means of human effort... Not by anything that we can claim as our own... Simply God moving into a city and changing everything for His Glory. Lord, take him away! Jesus come!
May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of his suffering!
