"RETALIATION"

  I understand the tremendous amount of reputable weight I am laying on the table of proof today. There are moments in time when you have to strip away the garment of old before you can fully take on the appearing of the new, even at the risk of losing face. We do not speak something new just for the sake of appearing different, but because we understand there are moments in life when you will sound more peculiar than any other time because you are truly hearing different things in the spirit. So let me begin by saying, “The shift is no longer coming, it is here. The end of preparation is upon us now. Now is the time to give what you have, believing it will be sufficient  to change the world.” 

 I was walking through Costco today when the spirit of revelation suddenly captivated my thinking. In that moment the Lord reminded me of a prophetic word He had given to me on Friday, August 13^th at Higher Ground Worship Center in Caldwell, Idaho. They are sending the videos of those meetings, which I will share with you when I get them in my hands. On the eve of August 13^th I started prophesying about the retaliation of Israel toward Iran. This was not the first time, but I knew it was now. On that same night I prophesied about unusual winds that would begin to blow during the fall season of this year, specifically in the Northwest. This word was related to a previous word the Lord had given to me about a unique sound that had been released into the earth causing enormous angels to appear in the earth.  (Listen "Wings of angels") The force of their wings strengthened the wind, causing the waters to rise from the seas higher than any other time.

 I know there has been much talk about Israel and Iran eventually colliding with each other. I am also aware of other prophetic voices in the land who have spoken about this particular conflict in the Middle East. While I am not always aware of the details of those words, I try to steer away from them while listening for His voice, knowing how easy it is take on words as if they were your own. It is easy to be influenced by the prophetic mantle of others to such a degree that the spirit of God in them can resonate through your voice as well. So you have to be careful to hear the word of the Lord for yourself or you will become an echo of someone else’s spirit. This is not uncommon, especially for those who are extremely relational with those who walk in a strong prophetic mantle. In some cases I think it is healthy as long as it is proportional to the destiny for your life. That is another teaching.  So I am careful to purposefully stay within the sphere that God has given to me concerning future events. For those of you who have listened to or read the things the Lord has given to me about creation, you are aware of my stance on the corporate efforts of creation assisting the people of God in fulfilling His intentions in the earth. Yes, it is somewhat of a C.S. Lewis/Narnia moment when, during the final hour of battle, the trees, birds, water, creatures of every sort; help secure the victory for the royal land. 

Today the Lord said to me again, “The winds are coming. The winds are coming.” These winds represent a spiritual rage that is rising up in the earth, destined to avenge the word of the Lord. These winds are to be taken literally. There are literal winds that are coming upon this nation as a result of what is occurring in the spirit. The word the Lord gave to me was “retaliation.” Which means the prompting of Israel attacking Iran would be the result of something Iran had done to them. Retaliation is an action taken in return for an injury or offense; it is a violent response to an act of harm or perceived injustice. As a nation, we are fully aware of what it means to retaliate against those who have caused great injury and death to those we love. There is also a spiritual retaliation that is rising in the earth that will make previous instances seem very small, after all, our battle is not against flesh and blood. We, the people of God, are retaliating against the forces of darkness in a manner the enemy has long dreaded. 

The Lord is telling us to prepare for one of the greatest retaliations we have ever seen since the bombing of Hiroshima. I know it sounds very alarming, but hear me out. I do not believe that it will be nuclear in the sense of natural warfare, but it will be nuclear in the sense of a violent spiritual rage. I do not believe that it will be one of the most violent moments in relation to deaths, nonetheless, many will die, and it will change the face of this nation, Israel, and our interaction with the entire world. When they think peace is no where in sight, it will come supernaturally. An unusual hush is coming. I prophesied and wrote about this hush in a previous article. This unusual hush has historically been noted before and after great conflicts in the spirit. The characteristics are much like that of a coming tornado or hurricane. There is an unusual silence before its raging presence appears and then there is an unusual hush after it is gone. In that moment an assessment is made of its lasting impact. Like many others who are pressing into the heart and mind of God for this hour, I have been fasting and praying in an unusual way. At first I viewed it as just another season in my life, but I know this kind of fasting and praying will never fade away.  Those who have followed this ministry for the past ten years know that I am not a dooms-day alarmist. I never have been and never will be, 'the sky is falling.' Though this word is very alarming, it is not a trumpet of death, but a trumpet of life. What will appear like death in the beginning will unveil a new expansion of God’s kingdom in the earth. Was this not the occasion that Jesus took in His day? While hanging on the cross many believed that it was the end of a hopeful expectation of a greater tomorrow, and yet, a short time later it proved to be one of the greatest advancements of the kingdom of God in the earth in recorded history. So it shall be in this hour. A kingdom that has long been invisible to so many will suddenly appear exponentially. 

I have some things I am looking forward to sharing with you in the near future. Descriptions of activities the Lord has shown me, time and time again, that will transpire during and after these times of great conflict.

1) The 1st is the Narnia-like reaction of creation that will be revealed during this intense time of war and peace. Israel and other nations will experience divine interventions from God through creation. This really isn’t anything new. There are other historical battles that have recorded unusual climate changes and earth moving interventions.

3) The third is the literal alteration of the climate and the appearance of earth itself. Unusual pockets of creation in different parts of the world will catch the attention of millions. They will try to rationalize it from a scientific perspective, but will come to no resonable explanation. I hope you can handle this, but God is giving us glimpses of a new heaven and a new earth. These unusual alterations will be a part of the invisible becoming visible. These are but a few points that I look forward to expounding on in the very near future.
