Over the last twelve years, the world has experienced the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit in history. During the time of this great spiritual advance, the church in the West seems to have been going in the opposite direction, suffering one setback after another. This is about to change.
I was praying about our upcoming Harvest Fest Conference, when a trumpet appeared in front of me, turned, and was blown right in my face. I knew immediately that this is what the Lord is about to do--the church will soon receive an "in your face" message from heaven.
It is certainly wonderful to see the celebrations going on in the streets of Baghdad. However, the President and the Pentagon are absolutely right to tone down the celebrations. The easy part of this war was the fighting—the hard part now begins.
I am most often asked in relation to this war, “What is the Lord saying about it?” It is always my primary goal to try to discern the mind of the Lord about a matter. I have inquired of Him repeatedly to speak to me about this war. To date all He has said is for me to observe and use my discernment. That means I cannot just look from the position of being an American, or from any other position that is based on human politics or interests.
In the last Prophetic Bulletin, I wrote about the coming "Winds of Change." I took this theme from the "four winds of the earth" prophesied in Revelation 7:1. In this Bulletin we will take this theme a bit further so we can better understand and be prepared for the four great storms that are now beginning to sweep across the earth as a result of the releasing of the "four winds of the earth."
Some historians have argued that World War II actually began with the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. Many of the factors that contributed to the rise of the Nazis were the result of the unfair treatment of a vanquished enemy. There were other contributing factors as well.
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind should blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree (Revelation 7:1).
Norway has strong bones, sits in a place of vision and prophecy, and has an important part to play in the unfolding purposes of the Lord in both Europe and the Middle East. It is time to expose and reject the New Age influences that have exalted themselves in Norway. As this happens the Lord will give Norway a sign—the weather over Scandinavia will change so that the sunshine will increase and the overcast will decrease.
Russia will be the host of the greatest revival that the world has yet seen. Because of it, the soul of the nation will be transcendent, overcoming many of the great problems of the times and helping many other nations to do the same.
