			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Respect and the Fear of the Lord</span></i></b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">We are in the 49 day season between the Feasts of Passover and Shavuot, known as the “Counting of the Omer.”    We expectantly await the 50<sup>th</sup> day, which is the day commemorating the Giving of the Law on Mt. Sinai (Exodus 19) and Pentecost (Acts 2).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">On the 33<sup>rd</sup> day, (known as “Lag B’Omer”), there is a celebration in remembrance of the day when a plague stopped.   In the first century, Rabbi Akiva had 24,000 students who died of a plague during this period of time.     The Talmud tells us that his disciples died because “they did not respect one another.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If we are going to become a mature Church without spot or wrinkle, we need to learn to honor and respect one another.     The definition of respect is “to honor and hold in esteem.”</span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Philippians 2:3</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">We are living in in a time when God is manifesting His power and with that comes a corresponding amount of judgment.    If we dishonor and slander one another, we open ourselves up to judgment and we could be disqualified in this new season.    We need to have the “fear of the Lord” regarding this.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">During a conference in Albany, Oregon in 2002, Bob Jones had an encounter with a heavenly messenger.   The messenger pointed out that ambition among believers opens the door for suspicion; suspicion brings competition; and competition breeds division.   When suspicion and competition are present, it will motivate leaders to discredit or undermine other leaders they feel threatened by.    This kind of spirit cannot exist in the hearts of those to whom the Lord will release spiritual authority to and will actually disqualify those who do not repent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">This messenger said that “unity among the brethren” must become a reality if we want to see creative miracles.     Years ago, Bob Jones said that the condition for witnessing creative miracles was Psalms 15, which instructs us “not to cast a slur on our fellow man.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Christians must be careful not to gossip or spread false reports.   Recently, a fellow believer forwarded me an email encouraging a boycott of Starbucks.  I was asked to forward the email to others.    The email alleged that Starbucks had charged rescue workers $130 for water during the 911 crisis.    The email reported that this story had been verified by Snopes (an agency that investigates rumors to see if they are true).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Since my son is a Starbucks store manager, and I know that Starbucks has been known for their generosity and giving back to the community, I questioned the facts in the email.    I decided to read the investigative report on Snopes.     What I learned is that an employee did charge the rescue workers for the water, but when management was informed about what happened, they returned the $130.   I learned that Starbucks later contributed a million dollars to the 911 rescue effort!     Unfortunately, these facts were omitted from the email urging the boycott.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a good example of how we must not spread rumors and false reports.   Once the damage is done, it cannot be undone.   Gossip and slander are serious offenses to the Lord.</span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Proverbs 20:19</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets,</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Therefore do not associate with a gossip.</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b> </b></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Psalm 101:5</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, Him I will destroy; The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, him I will not endure. </span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If we have an offense towards someone, or someone has sinned against us, we need to practice Matthew 18 and go directly to that person, in a spirit of gentleness and humility, and try to resolve the conflict and be reconciled.   If there is no repentance, then further steps should be taken as outlined in Matthew 18. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If the offender repents, the relationship should be restored.   The goal should always be to heal and restore the relationship and never to punish the one who has hurt us.</span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: medium;">Colossians 3:12-13 </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: medium;">Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">As we are approaching Lag B’Omer on the 2012 calendar (May 10), the day we celebrate when the plague stopped, let us remember the lesson of Rabbi Akiva’s 24,000 students who died because they did not respect one another.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Let’s determine that we will love, honor, and respect each other in spite of our differences.    When we do, I believe we’ll see the greatest revival of all time and we will witness creative miracles.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year, 2012, is a leap year and we’re taking a “quantum leap” forward.   There is a wave of God’s goodness that is sweeping across the land and a genuine increase in Holy Spirit activity.   It will be a year of fulfilled promise and dreams come true for many.</p>
<p>In history, major shifts have occurred on leap years including the Welsh Revival that began in 1904 and the Latter Rain Revival that began in 1948.</p>
<p>Kim Clement prophesied on January 5, 2012:   &#8220;Everything begins in <strong>February</strong>. There will be a death – and everybody will know about it – and then there will be life that will begin to manifest.&#8221;</p>
<p>At “The Fullness of Time” conference in Coeur d’Alene on February 9-12, 2012, we were celebrating the 64<sup>th</sup> anniversary date of the Latter Rain Revival and believing God for another outpouring of divine healing and prophecy like they had in that revival.   We were not disappointed as we experienced an “open heaven” and many notable healings and creative miracles occurred.</p>
<p>During the conference, we received the news of Whitney Houston’s unexpected death on February 11.      The last song Whitney performed publicly was “Jesus Loves Me” on February 9.    Of course, her death made international news and “everybody knew about it.”   I believe that Whitney’s death was the signpost that Kim referenced in his prophecy……and everything begins NOW.</p>
<p>Bob Jones prophesied that the glory of God will return in 2012.</p>
<p>I believe that there are four things that will usher in the glory of God:  worship, prayer, unity, and sacrifice.    At the dedication of Solomon’s temple, these four things were being practiced when the glory of God manifested and the priests could not stand to minister.</p>
<p><b>2 Chronicles 5:13-14</b></p>
<p>The trumpeters and musicians joined in <b><i>unison</i></b> to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, <b><i>the singers raised their voices in praise</i></b> to the LORD and sang:    “He is good; his love endures forever.”   Then the temple of the LORD was filled with the cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the temple of God.</p>
<p><b>2 Chronicles 7:1-2  </b><b> </b></p>
<p>When Solomon finished <b><i>praying</i></b>, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the <b><i>sacrifices</i></b>, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple. The priests could not enter the temple of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled it.</p>
<p>I am convinced if we spend time in worship and prayer, walk in unity, and lay our lives down in sacrificial love, we’ll experience His glory.   One of the ways God manifests His glory is through creative miracles and healing.</p>
<p>Unity is much more important to the Lord than we realize.   We cannot continue to compete with one another and criticize one another if we want to see His glory manifest and experience creative miracles.</p>
<p>There were over 100 pastors and ministry leaders in attendance from different streams at “The Fullness of Time” conference.  There was a sense of unity and genuine affection among the ministries that were represented.    My prayer is that we will continue to walk together in unity and see His glory together.</p>
<p><b>Isaiah 40:5  </b></p>
<p><b>“The glory of the </b><b>Lord</b><b> shall be revealed,</b><b> And all flesh shall see <i>it</i> together; For the mouth of the </b><b>Lord</b><b> has spoken.”</b></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love this quote by Barry Lopez:  <i>“If stories come to you, care for them.  And learn to give them away where they are needed.   Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive.”</i></p>
<p>Of all the stories I have shared recently, this one is definitely my favorite.   I give it away to you to be encouraged.</p>
<p>In October 1998, the Spirit prompted my husband and I to birth a regional training center which we named “Grace Training Center.”    I was instructed by the Spirit to have our first weekly meeting on October 10, which was during the Feast of Tabernacles that year.</p>
<p>We invited Mark Stevens from Portland, Oregon, to be our first speaker.   Mark shared publicly that Ray Hughes was hosting an event in Mobile Bay that same night called “Thunder in the Bay.”    He prophesied that what Ray was doing in Mobile Bay was connected to what we were doing that night in Idaho.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ray-hughes.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ray-hughes.jpg" alt="" title="ray hughes" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-967" height="170" width="135" /></a></p>
<p>Mobile Bay is an inlet in the Gulf of Mexico within the State of Alabama.  Spanish explorers were sailing into the area of Mobile Bay as early as 1500,  and they marked it on early maps as the <i>Bahía del Espíritu Santo,</i> which means “Bay of the Holy Spirit.”   (In 2008 a memorial historical sign commemorating the name <em>Bay of the Holy Spirit</em> was approved by the Alabama Historical Association and a Commendation was signed by Governor Bob Riley.)</p>
<p>Ray called for radical intercessors and worshipers to converge in Mobile Bay for prayer, praise, and proclamation because of a trance he had.     In the trance, he experienced wind, thunder, and lightnings.  He saw many ships in the Gulf of Mexico.   He could hear the roar of swords and shields banging together and the sound of warriors giving a shout.  He heard their voices in perfect agreement singing:   <b><i><br />
</i></b></p>
<p><b><i>“Lift up your heads, oh you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.”</i></b></p>
<p>When the “Thunder in the Bay” invitation was issued at a Morningstar conference, there was a report from the local media in Mobile of 7,000 lightning strikes in one hour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>“The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning.”  (Psalms 29:7)</i></b></p>
<p>A couple thousand radical intercessors and worshipers responded to the invitation to gather at the Mobile Convention Center, overlooking the Bay of the Holy Spirit, despite a hurricane that caused damage to that building a week before.   There were 48 shofars from Israel, and two semi-trucks of drums, brought in for the event.   The atmosphere was electric and a sound was released that was earth shaking.</p>
<p>“<b><i>The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.”  (Psalms 29:3)</i></b></p>
<p>At the end of the meeting, after five hours of  intense intercessory worship, there was an amazing sign in the natural.   A merchant ship came into the Bay of the Spirit and sounded its alarm.  The crew aboard the ship could hear the sound of the drums and began to roar as they joined in with the sound coming from the Convention Center.  It reminded Ray of the ships he saw in the trance that had led to the meeting in the Bay.   On the ship was written the word “Selah,” which is the name of Ray’s ministry.</p>
<p>It was prophesied during the meeting in Mobile that the prodigals would be returning home, and that parents should leave their porch lights on day and night in anticipation of their return.     When one couple returned to their home after that meeting, they found their son waiting for them on their front porch.  He had been released from prison suddenly, ten years prior to the time of his scheduled release.</p>
<p>On the weekend of October 10, 2003, we hosted a conference we called &#8220;Get a Life&#8221; with Ray Hughes, Shawn Bolz, Larry Randolph, and Jennifer Toledo.    The theme of the conference was John 10:10 where Jesus promises us abundant life.  As Ray was preaching on the evening of October 10, the realization came that it was <b><i>exactly five years to the day</i></b> from “Thunder in the Bay” and the public prophecy about our two ministries being interconnected!</p>
<p>That night, I quoted from Loren Sandford’s book, <b><i>The Season of Tens</i></b>, where he stated that when the old and young learn to dance together that the harvest will come in.   We invited two couples, who dance professionally, to come and dance during the meeting.   One was a young couple who danced a ballroom-style dance to the song “It’s a Wonderful World.”     Another couple, in their 50’s, danced a swing dance to the song “Fly like an Eagle.”    As a prophetic act, they danced together to symbolically portray the old and young coming together in dance so that the harvest could begin.</p>
<p>Now for the rest of the story……</p>
<p>A revival began in Mobile Bay in 2010.   On July 23, Church of His Presence, led by John Kilpatrick (former pastor of the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Florida), hosted a British evangelist whose name is Nathan Morris.  Notable healings took place and children began to be touched by the power of God.    It felt like Father’s Day 1995 when that historic revival began.  A spontaneous decision was made to extend the meetings.</p>
<p>Since then, attendance has grown as people have traveled there from across America and from other countries.    To accommodate the crowds, the revival meetings were moved to the Mobile Convention Center…..the building where “Thunder in the Bay” had met twelve years prior!  This move of God has been called the “<strong>Bay of the Holy Spirit Revival</strong>.”</p>
<p>Since July 23rd, 2010, multitudes have given their lives to Christ and have been delivered by the power of God. Extraordinary miracles and healings are continuing each night.   The lame walk, the blind see, deaf ears open, and diverse terminal illnesses are healed.</p>
<p>The story continues……</p>
<p>In 2009, I traveled to Wales for an event called “Thunder on the Mountain.”   Ray and Denise Hughes hosted that event. Several intercessors congregated on a mountain for 24 hours of praise, prayer, and proclamation with drums and exuberant dancing.   Wales is where the historical revival took place with Evan Roberts in 1904.  During that revival, over 100,000 people were saved in the first six months and a nation was changed.  The Welsh Revival spread and it ignited the Azusa Street Revival in America in 1906.    I was able to visit Evan Roberts’ grave and Moriah Chapel where the Welsh Revival began.</p>
<p>While in Wales, I also visited the grave of Rees Howells.  Rees Howells was an intercessor and the founder of the Bible College of Wales.    After starting Grace Training Center on October 10, 1998, and learning of the “Thunder in the Bay” event on that same date, I re-read the classic book “Rees Howells Intercessor.”   The Holy Spirit clearly spoke to me and said I would read something in that book that would connect me to Rees Howells.    To my absolute amazement, I read that Rees was born on October 10 and revival broke out in South Africa under his ministry on October 10 . (I have made nine trips to South Africa.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/rees-howells-intercessor.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/rees-howells-intercessor.jpg" alt="" title="rees howells intercessor" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-969" height="278" width="182" /></a></p>
<p>I also read that he uttered his last words, “Victory, Glorious Victory,” on February 12.     He died the next day.    February 12 is the date we moved to Idaho and the date we hosted our first conference with Larry Randolph in 1999.    It is also the date the Latter Rain Revival began in 1948.</p>
<p>Last week, Ray Hughes was given a gold watch and he sent me a picture of it in a text message.   He did not know that Mary Dorian had a vision last year where she saw that I was given a gold watch.    In that vision, Mary saw a rainbow over Lake Coeur d’Alene and she saw that every color of the rainbow represented a promise that God was going to fulfill.  She saw people coming to Coeur d’Alene from around the world because there was going to be another great outpouring of the Spirit.  In her vision, I was given a gold watch and would know the timing of when this was to take place.  I became so happy that I began to soar in the sky.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/gold-watch.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/gold-watch.jpg" alt="" title="gold watch" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-968" height="225" width="225" /></a></p>
<p>We are hosting “The Fullness of Time” conference on February 9-12, 2012, because of many prophetic affirmations that the appointed time for revival has come.      History is being made and we get to be a part of it!   Are you ready?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Before we moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, 18 years ago, I kept seeing the number “444.”   I began to associate that number with our move to Coeur d’Alene.      I heard Bob Jones say that the number “4” was symbolic to him of the Holy Spirit.   I also associate the number &#8220;4&#8243; with God’s glory because of Ezekiel 44:4:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Then the man brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling the temple of the LORD, and I fell facedown.</i></b></p>
<p>Four years after we arrived in Coeur d’Alene, I felt strongly prompted by the Spirit to attend a conference in Portland, Oregon, even though I was not familiar with the church or the speakers.   The conference was entitled “Shiloh in the Northwest.”     A team came from Kansas City to speak and  Terry Bennett was a part of that team.</p>
<p>The night before I left for Portland, I told my husband that I was getting the number “444” again and I thought it was symbolic of Isaiah 44:4:</p>
<p align="center"><b><i>I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,<br />
and my blessing on your descendants.<br />
They will spring up like grass in a meadow,<br />
like poplar trees by flowing streams.</i></b></p>
<p> The first night of the conference, Terry Bennett shared an amazing story.  He saw a vision before arriving in Portland.   In the vision, he saw a scene from the movie Tombstone.  In the vision, he saw Lester Moore’s tombstone that read:  “Here lies Lester Moore, four slugs from a .44, No Les, No More.”     He then said he felt the four slugs from the .44 represented Isaiah 44:4.  Since this was the exact scripture that I quoted to my husband the night before, he had my full attention.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lester-moore.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lester-moore-294x300.jpg" alt="" title="lester moore" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-951" height="300" width="294" /></a></p>
<p>Terry then prophesied that the four shots from the .44  represented four things that God was going to explode in the Pacific Northwest:  prophecy, intercession, healing, and evangelism.     In 1998, we were about to birth a regional training center in Coeur d’Alene  (Grace Training Center). I knew immediately that we were to equip on those four things in the training center.</p>
<p>To punctuate the revelation, Terry found out when he arrived in Portland that the pastor of the hosting church was named “Lester Moore!”</p>
<p>The morning after Terry shared the revelation about “444,” he stopped his preaching midway into his sermon and prophesied to me.  He said “You have the Dorothy anointing and I see a rainbow over you, and you are going to be caught up before the throne.”       Terry had never met me before and did not know that I had made several trips to Kansas City where I had bought Wizard of Oz memorabilia, including pictures of Dorothy.   I used to say  “there is no place like home” when I would make trips to Kansas City as I felt it was my home away from home.</p>
<p>I learned that the <span style="color: #ee1022;">fourth</span> letter in the Hebrew alphabet is called the “deleth,” which is the symbol for “door.”   The following scripture was highlighted to me in Revelation 4:1-3:</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;">After this I looked, and there before me was a <span style="color: #e91533;">door</span> standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” <sup>2</sup> At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. <sup>3</sup> And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A <span style="color: #ed1123;">rainbow</span> that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.  </span><br />
</i></b></span></p>
<p><b><i> </i></b>We started Grace Training Center in October 1998 and we hosted a different speaker every week for years.   In 1999, we hosted our first conference with Larry Randolph on February 12.</p>
<p>A couple of months ago, I was talking to Paul Keith Davis.   He told me that he had received a text message from Chuck Pierce stating that everywhere they minister in 2012, they would be releasing the spirit of revival.    Paul Keith said he then had a “Kari Browning moment.”   At the very moment he read the text message, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the natural.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/paul-keith-alabama-rainbow2.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/paul-keith-alabama-rainbow2-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="SAMSUNG" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-950" height="225" width="300" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Paul Keith asked me to listen to a message by Larry Randolph that was pertinent to the theme of our upcoming “The Fullness of Time” conference.   I was in my bedroom that evening, while listening to Larry’s message, when my eyes caught a glimpse of a picture we had made for the first conference with Larry 13 years prior.      It was a picture of a rainbow with the words to “Somewhere over the Rainbow.”      It came back to my remembrance that we had made declarations about the coming rain and had decorated with rainbows at that conference.   At that moment, as I was listening to Larry share a current message about the coming rain and reflecting on the past event, it began to rain very hard in the natural.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.morningstartv.com/featured-video-week/eye-storm">Larry Randolph Video</a></p>
<p>“The Fullness of Time” conference was birthed because Mary Dorian had a vision of a rainbow over Lake Coeur d’Alene last year.    In the vision, she saw that every color represented a promise and she heard the words “Fulfillment of Promise.”     She saw people coming to Coeur d’Alene again because there would be another outpouring of the rain of God’s Spirit.   She saw that I was given a gold watch and I would know the time.    I am convinced that the appointed time has come……the day of our visitation is at hand.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3b2ed0;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Perhaps the dreams we dare to dream really do come true!</span></strong></span></p>
<p>Please join us on for “The Fullness of Time” conference on February 9-12, 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my last post I wrote about Lonnie Frisbee, the hippie preacher who was the catalyst for the “Jesus Movement” that took place in the 60’s and 70’s.    Lonnie died on March 12, 1993, and was buried on March 17, which was St. Patrick’s Day.  I see similarities between Lonnie and St. Patrick, even though they lived centuries apart.  Both were evangelists who led many to Christ through signs, wonders, and miracles.    St. Patrick reached the Druids who were considered to be the barbarians of his day.   Along with amazing power encounters, St. Patrick evangelized by establishing communities and using native art forms to reach those others thought could not be reached.   Lonnie Frisbee evangelized the hippies, who many thought could not be evangelized, and used similar methods as St. Patrick.   Both were misunderstood and suffered rejection by the mainstream Church of their day.</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.&#8221;</strong></em> (1 Corinthians 9:22)</p>
<p>I have had a fascination with the life of St. Patrick because my mother was named after him and she died on March 17, 2005 (St. Patrick’s Day), which was also the date of Patrick’s death.   When she died, I was given her green coat which I jokingly refer to as “St. Patrick’s mantle.”    In 2007, I was in New Mexico speaking at a conference at Glorybound Ministries with Paul Cain, Randy DeMain, and Cal Pierce.   Steven Brooks, who wrote a book on recovering lost mantles, attended a session of the conference and was invited into the hospitality room.    Before I even had a chance to introduce myself to him, he prophesied to me that I had “St. Patrick’s mantle.”</p>
<p>I had the opportunity to go to Ireland in 2009 and I visited Dublin and Belfast.    While in Dublin, I visited St. Patrick’s Cathedral; and while in Belfast, I visited St. Patrick’s grave and museum.    Robin Mark, who lives in northern Ireland, recorded a song called “Days of Elijah” that became very popular.   That song is off the “Revival in Belfast” audio CD that was recorded live in Belfast where St. Patrick is buried.   I love the lyrics to the song entitled “Revival:”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/revival-in-belfast.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/revival-in-belfast.jpg" alt="" title="revival in belfast" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-933" height="220" width="220" /></a></p>
<p><b><i>I hear the voice of one calling, prepare ye the way of the Lord.<br />
And make His paths straight in the wilderness<br />
And let your light shine in the darkness<br />

<p><em><strong>Revive us, Revive us,</strong></em><br />
<em><strong> Revive us with your fire!</strong></em></p>
<p>We hosted a conference the weekend of July 17, 2010, with Randy DeMain, that we called “Angelic Encounters.”   While the worship team was playing flutes and a penny whistle, I felt the presence of an angel enter the room.   The Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me it was “Victor,” the angel who had appeared to St. Patrick on several occasions.    I shared that publicly and afterwards Randy DeMain shared that the Holy Spirit spoke to him that the angel “Emma” also had Irish roots.    Emma was the angel that appeared to Randy in one of our meetings in 2006.</p>
<p>I felt an affirmation about Emma being associated with Ireland because it was on St. Patrick’s Day that I had met Jeff Jansen in Topeka in 2006 and he prophesied to me that Emma was coming to Coeur d’Alene.   I had already heard of Emma before Jeff prophesied this to me.   I was very familiar with the prophetic history of Mike Bickle’s ministry and Bob Jones said Emma was the angel that helped establish his ministry in Kansas City.   Emma appeared to Randy DeMain on April 14, 2006, while he was preaching at our church on the 100 year anniversary of Azusa Street.     Randy was preaching out of Judges 6 when Emma manifested to him.   That passage of Scripture had been my first text, and was also Mike Bickle’s first text, when we started our respective churches.</p>
<p>I remembered that Bangor, Ireland, was the site of the longest known 24/7 prayer movement in church history.   It lasted for almost 300 years and it released a wave of God’s power accompanied by signs and wonders.    History tells us prior to that prayer movement beginning that Patrick and his companions arrived in Bangor and saw a heavenly light and heard a celestial choir.   Patrick called it the “Valley of Angels.”    After Patrick’s death, a famous monastery was built there by Comgall in 555 AD.   Patrick had prophesied of Comgall’s birth and ministry.   Bangor was respected throughout Europe as a great center of learning and a place of great light.</p>
<p>It made sense to me that the angel Emma may have been in Bangor, known as the Valley of Angels, and later assigned to Kansas City because of Mike Bickle&#8217;s mandate to establish a 24/7 International House of Prayer (IHOP).</p>
<p>After sharing this revelation publicly at the “Angelic Encounters” conference, I had an amazing affirmation.     Following the event, I talked to a friend of mine, Mike McClung, who pastors a church in Tennessee.    Mike McClung told me that his birthday was St. Patrick’s Day and he had a trip planned to Bangor a few weeks later.  On a previous trip to Kansas City, Mike Bickle had given him a book entitled “Bangor, the Light of the World.”   He told me that it is one of Mike Bickle’s favorite books.   If that wasn’t confirmation enough, I knew the last day of the conference was Mike Bickle’s birthday (July 17).  It was “sign overload!”</p>
<p>I met Mike McClung in 2003 after we connected concerning our common Irish/Cherokee heritage.   William Branham (who was the catalyst for the Latter Rain Revival) was Irish and Cherokee.    Bob Jones and JoAnn McFatter, who are both involved in “The Fullness of Time” conference, are Irish and Cherokee.</p>
<p>Paul Keith Davis, a speaker at the upcoming conference, has Cherokee and Celtic roots.  He will have just returned from a ministry trip to Ireland (including Dublin and Belfast) prior to coming to Coeur d’Alene.</p>
<p>St. Patrick became a legend because of the extraordinary miracles that took place in his ministry in Ireland.   He had been kidnapped as a young man and taken from England to Ireland.   During that time, he became a slave to a Druid high priest.   He came to love his captors and learned their language and culture.   He prayed continually and had an angel visitation after six years of being held captive.   The angel instructed him to walk 200 miles, where there would be a ship ready to take him back to England.    Upon arriving home, he was visited by the angel Victor.   Victor held letters from the Irish calling him to come back to Ireland to preach the Gospel.    He studied for 20 years before he was sent back by the Catholic Church as a Bishop to Ireland.</p>
<p>When he returned, the King of Dublin asked Patrick to pray for his two children who had just died.   After Patrick’s prayer, they both were miraculously raised from the dead.   Another story is told about the origin of the Celtic cross.   The Druids would mark their territory with a circle.   Patrick would draw the cross over the circle, as a reminder that the power of the cross was greater than the power of the enemy.    Patrick challenged the Druids to power encounters on several occasions, much like the prophet Elijah did with the prophets of Baal.     Patrick preached and demonstrated the resurrection power of the Risen Christ wherever he went.   Thus, his memory is honored on March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day) around the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/celtic-cross.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/celtic-cross.jpg" alt="" title="celtic cross" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-934" height="269" width="188" /></a></p>
<p>The Celts talked of “thin places.”  These were places where the veil between the natural and spiritual was almost transparent and a strong sense of the presence of God could be discerned.   There is an &#8220;open heaven&#8221; in Coeur d’Alene.   Please join us for “The Fullness of Time” conference on February 9-12, 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wish I could have met Lonnie Frisbee in person.  He died at the age of 43 on March 12, 1993.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lonnie-frisbee.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lonnie-frisbee.jpg" alt="" title="lonnie frisbee" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-918" height="274" width="184" /></a></p>
<p>Lonnie was known as the “hippie preacher” and was a catalyst for the &#8220;Jesus Movement&#8221; that began in the 1960’s.  Lonnie led thousands to the Lord and was the spark that ignited revival in both the Calvary Chapel and Vineyard movements, two worldwide denominations.</p>
<p>During the 60’s and 70’s, the country was being greatly impacted by the Jesus Movement.  Lonnie would walk the beaches during the day and convert the young people and bring them back to the church for the nightly services.  Frisbee&#8217;s appearance helped appeal to hippies and the youth culture, and Frisbee believed that the young people would play a prominent role in the Christian movement in the United States.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em><strong>Acts 2:17-18</strong></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sup id="en-NIV-26967">17</sup> “‘In the last days, God says, </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>   I will pour out my Spirit on all people. </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>Your sons and daughters will prophesy, </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>   your young men will see visions, </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>   your old men will dream dreams. </strong></em><br />
<em><strong><sup id="en-NIV-26968">18</sup> Even on my servants, both men and women, </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>   I will pour out my Spirit in those days, </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>   and they will prophesy.</strong></em></p>
<p>His ministry influenced many, including Dr. James Maloney and Shawn Bolz who will be speaking at our upcoming “The Fullness of Time” conference.    They both were exposed to the raw power of God in Lonnie’s meetings and were forever changed.</p>
<p>Lonnie led Greg Laurie to the Lord in 1970.   Greg is the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, one of the largest churches in the United States.   In Greg’s own words:</p>
<p><i>“A young man named Lonnie Frisbee stood up with a Bible in his hand.  He was a youth pastor with Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa where the Jesus movement was in full swing.  With his shoulder-length hair and beard, he almost looked </i><i>the way I had seen Jesus depicted in paintings and in the movies. He opened the Bible and began to speak. Although I listened to what he said that day, I don’t remember many of his comments except for one statement: Jesus said, “You are either for Me or against Me.”  What side are you on?</i><i></i></p>
<p><i>That really struck me. Never before had I heard that faith in Christ was an either or deal.  Jesus was just this wonderful historical figure who lived a long time ago, did a lot of good turns, and taught brotherly love. As a teenager, I thought that was cool. But for the first time, I had heard that it was actually possible to know Him in a personal way. It seemed too good to be true. I looked over at these Christians, all sitting cross-legged in a circle, and thought, undoubtedly, they are for Him. Knowing I was not one of them, it dawned on me that this must mean I was against Him.</i></p>
<p><i>This impassioned preacher told the group that anyone who wanted to know Jesus in a personal way should get up and walk forward. I found myself standing with a handful of other brave souls, praying with the long-haired minister to receive Jesus Christ into my heart and life.”</i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lonnie-baptizing.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lonnie-baptizing.jpg" alt="" title="lonnie baptizing" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-919" height="276" width="400" /></a></i></p>
<p>“Jesus Freaks,” as they were often called, began to be featured in major magazines such as Life, Newsweek, and Rolling Stone.    Lonnie, because of his prominence in the movement, was frequently photographed and interviewed.</p>
<p>On Mother’s Day 1980, Lonnie was invited by John Wimber to speak at his Yorba Linda Calvary Chapel church.   After speaking, Lonnie invited all the young people 25 and under to come forward.   Shawn Bolz was 6 years old at the time and was in that service.    Lonnie said these now famous words, “the Church has for years grieved the Holy Spirit, but He’s getting over it!  Come Holy Spirit!”   Hundreds were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to shake and speak in tongues.   Chairs were falling over and the young people were falling on top of the chairs.  Everyone was in shock, including John Wimber.</p>
<p>That night, John Wimber could not sleep.   He stayed up with books on church history and past revivals.  He was praying, seeking the Lord for answers, and trying to understand what had taken place in his church.   About 5 am, he received a phone call from Tom Stipe who was a Calvary Chapel pastor in Denver.     Tom said, “I don’t know what’s going on there, John, but the Lord woke me and told me to call you and tell you that it’s Him.  Does that make any sense?”</p>
<p>The young kids, many in Junior High and High School, were so &#8220;filled with the Spirit&#8221; that they soon started baptizing friends in hot tubs and swimming pools around town. The church catapulted in growth over the next few months and the event is credited with launching the Vineyard Movement.   Lonnie began to travel with John Wimber to many nations and they taught on the Kingdom of God and equipped others in power evangelism and signs and wonders.</p>

<p>I was greatly influenced by John Wimber and the Vineyard movement in the early 90’s and attended conferences at the Anaheim Vineyard.   I am very grateful for the equipping I received and John’s message that “we can all do the stuff.”</p>
<p>Both Lonnie Frisbee and John Wimber have gone to be with the Lord; Lonnie in 1993, and John in 1997.     On November 17, 2003, I had a strange dream where John Wimber’s secretary called me and told me that John was going to come “the weekend before the Dews come.”   When I awoke from that dream, I realized the weekend that Bill and Carol Dew were scheduled to speak at our church was the last weekend in February 2004.   The weekend before that was the weekend of February 22 (2-22).</p>
<p>After I had that dream, I picked up a book on John Wimber’s life entitled “The Way it Was.”   I was shocked and amazed to learn that he died on the same date that I had the dream, November 17<sup>th</sup>.     That really got my attention!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/john-wimber.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/john-wimber.jpg" alt="" title="john wimber" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-920" height="300" width="300" /></a></p>
<p>God speaks in parabolic language and dream language is often symbolic.   I felt that the date 2/22 was important in understanding the message of the dream.   I felt it had to do with Isaiah 22:22:  <b><i>“I will place on His shoulder the key to the house of David; what He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.”</i></b></p>
<p>On <em>February 25</em>, 2009, Shawn Bolz had a dream about breakthrough coming to California.  In the dream, he was given 22 stakes, and on 11 of them he painted the word “Breakthrough” and also painted images of  keys and crowns.  When he awoke from the dream, he felt that the 22 stakes represented Isaiah 22:22.</p>
<p>In the dream, he went to 11 regions and presented a stake to different pastors/ministry leaders throughout California – to stake the land out for breakthrough to happen.    He felt it had to do with Isaiah 11:11 that states the following:  <em><strong>&#8220;in that day the Lord will reach out His hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of His people&#8230;&#8221;  </strong></em>  God is going to reclaim His purpose in California one more time!</p>
<p>One of the names of God in Hebrew is <i>Baal-Perazim</i> which means &#8220;Master of the Breakthrough.&#8221;</p>
<p>After Shawn had the dream, he found out that there is a plaque in the center of Los Angeles that states 11 men, 11 women, and 22 children came to pioneer the great City of Angels!</p>
<p>I  remembered reading in Lou Engle’s book “Digging the Wells of Revival” that Lou had gone to the place where the Azusa Street Revival of 1906 began.   He, and a group of intercessors,  drove a stake into the ground, declaring that the Azusa Revival well in Los Angeles would break forth again.   When Lou got back in his car, the clock read 2:22 pm.   He thought of Isaiah 22:22 and realized that God had given him the key to open that well.</p>
<p>When Shawn told me the dream, I remembered that John Wimber’s birthday was February 25, the date Shawn had the dream.   John Wimber and Lonnie Frisbee both ministered in the Los Angeles area and it was the epicenter of the Jesus Movement.</p>
<p>I believe that God is looking for candidates in this generation who will imitate the faith of John Wimber and Lonnie Frisbee and become history makers.  He uses ordinary men and women who are surrendered to Him to spark revival and change the world.</p>
<p>Meri Crouley is currently working on a major feature film of Lonnie Frisbee’s life story.   She will be showing the trailer from the film and sharing about the project at an added session  at “The Fullness of Time” conference.    (Saturday, February 11, 3:00 pm)</p>
<p>Lonnie’s art teacher, Barbara Irvine (who Lonnie led to the Lord), will be painting at the conference.    Lonnie lived with Barbara and her husband at one time and commissioned her into the ministry.</p>
<p>I have a sense that both John Wimber and Lonnie Frisbee will be cheering us on from the cloud of witnesses as we continue in their footsteps and contend for historic revival.     Please join us at “The Fullness of Time” conference on February 9-12, 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are believing for God’s radiant glory to be seen in us and in our region.</p>
<p><b><i>And I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory.   (Ezekiel 43:2)</i></b></p>
<p>On one of my many trips to Kansas City, I bought a book there entitled “Radiant Glory.”     Often, I buy books and do not read them right away.   I did not take the time to read this book until I had a profound experience concerning it in 1998.</p>
<p><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/radiant-glory-book.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/radiant-glory-book.jpg" alt="" title="radiant glory book" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-907" height="300" width="300" /></a></p>
<p>In 1994, my husband and I moved from Yakima, Washington, to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, because I had been instructed by an audible voice to move to Coeur d’Alene 2.5 years prior.    When we arrived, we began to look for a house to buy.    On one occasion, both my husband and I saw a simultaneous vision of a white house with a turret in front.    We thought we might find a house like that to buy, but later learned that it was a picture of a house in the book “Radiant Glory.”</p>
<p>In 1997, a friend of mine whose birthday is February 12 (the date we moved to Idaho and the date the Latter Rain Revival began) stayed overnight at our house.   That night, we both had a similar dream.   We dreamed of a white Victorian house with a porch in front.    Later, I learned it was the same house in the book “Radiant Glory.”    One night, while lying in bed, I picked up the book and opened it at random.   To my absolute amazement, I saw the picture of the house that was in the vision and in the dream.    I was further amazed  when I saw that the picture was on page 212.</p>
<p><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/radiant-glory-house.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/radiant-glory-house-228x300.jpg" alt="" title="radiant glory house" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-899" height="300" width="228" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Prior to opening the book and seeing the picture of this house, I had been given three prophetic words about having the “cluster anointing.”     The late Jill Austin gave me one of those prophetic words in 1998.   Later, when studying the Bible, I came across a passage where the spies went into the Promised Land and brought back a big cluster of grapes.   The place they found the grapes was called the Valley of Eshcol.   The footnote in my Bible said that “Eshcol” means “cluster.”    I was absolutely astonished when I read that the house on page 212 in the book “Radiant Glory” was on Eshcol Avenue!</p>
<p><b><i>Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.  (Numbers 13:23)</i></b></p>
<p>“Radiant Glory – the life of Martha Wing Robinson” by Gordon P. Gardiner, was first published in 1962 and is the only existent biography of a relatively unknown woman who lived at the turn of the 20<sup>th</sup> century.    The author wrote in his preface “be encouraged and inspired to go on to find Jesus Christ in all his fullness.”    He spent over 20 years writing the account of her life, drawing from personal remembrance and many interviews with her closest associates and much correspondence and dictations of her messages.</p>
<p><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/martha-wing-robinson.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/martha-wing-robinson-193x300.jpg" alt="" title="martha wing robinson" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-900" height="300" width="193" /></a></p>
<p>Martha Wing Robinson was born in 1874, converted in 1898, and was healed of several illnesses under the ministry of John Alexander Dowie.   She was greatly influenced by the Pentecostal outpouring that began in 1906 with Charles Parham and the Azusa Street Revival.</p>
<p>Mrs. Robinson was granted unusual access to the “mysteries of God.”   In November 1907, the Lord showed her two paths for her life and assured her that she could choose either one with His blessing.  The one path led to fame and great outward success as an evangelist and the second one would be to live a life or relative obscurity with much suffering and criticism.   She allowed the Lord to choose for her and the Lord chose the hidden path, the path of suffering.</p>
<p>Her teaching was accompanied by powerful demonstrations of all the gifts of the Holy Spirit.   She established three “faith homes” in Zion City, Illinois.   In spite of the absence of even the simplest form of advertising, people from all over the world made their way to these unmarked, simple homes.  Through the years, the “faith homes” entertained literally thousand of guests from around the world.  People came from different races and various denominations.   “One visitor told another of the milk and of the honey and of the wine made from the grapes of Eshcol.”    Thus, the work was advertised by its fruit and others came to taste and see for themselves.    All were united in one common purpose, to know Jesus better.</p>
<p>Healings were a regular occurrence.  Martha had a very strong gift of discernment and regularly told people the secrets of their hearts.   She often had directive prophetic words for those who came.   Many young people came to the home for training and then went to the mission field.</p>
<p>Martha Wing Robinson’s whole life was spent in the service of God.   She saw many healed, saved, delivered, empowered and sent out.   She was truly a “mother in Israel.”</p>
<p>I<a href="http://www.statcounter.com/" target="_blank"></a> have been to Zion City on two occasions and was able to visit the house on Eshcol Avenue where Mrs. Robinson held meetings and lived at one time.   The house is still being used as a church and still welcomes visitors from around the world.</p>
<p>When I had the experience in 1998 of opening up the book and seeing the house that was in the vision and in the dream, on Eshcol Avenue, and on page 212, I was about to explode with awe and wonder.   I woke my husband to tell him about what I had discovered.     His sleepy response to me was “But what does it mean?”</p>
<p><b><i>So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?&#8221;  (Acts 2:12)</i></b></p>
<p>God often speaks in parabolic language and with signs in the natural.  This is what I think may be the message in the sign.</p>
<p>1.        The title of the book is “Radiant Glory.”   I have a passion to see God&#8217;s glory manifest in us and in our corporate gatherings.   It has been prophesied by Bob Jones that 2012 will be the year that the glory of God will be restored to the Church.</p>
<p><b><i>For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.  (Habakkuk 2:14)<br />
</i></b></p>
<p><b><i>To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.  (Colossians 1:27)<br />
</i></b></p>
<p>2.        The picture of the house was on page 212.   The Latter Rain revival began on February 12, 1948.  God is pouring out the former and the latter rain on the earth today.   Rain can represent the Spirit of God.  I believe that the glory of this next move of God will be greater than the former moves of God.</p>
<p><b><i>Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD.  His going forth is established as the morning;  He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.  (Hosea 6:3)</i></b></p>
<p><b><i>The glory of this latter house will be greater than the glory of the former house, says the LORD Almighty.  (Haggai 2:9)</i></b></p>
<p><b><i>Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain&#8230;.  (Zechariah 10:1)<br />
</i></b></p>
<p>3.        Martha Wing Robinson was an example of someone who operated in great power with simplicity and humility.   She was not well known on earth, but was an example of the “new breed” that God is raising up today who will be marked by humility and remarkable demonstrations of power.</p>
<p><b><i>These are the ones I look on with favor:  those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.   (Isaiah 66:2)</i></b></p>
<p>Please join us for “The Fullness of Time” conference on February 9-12, 2012, as we contend for God’s radiant glory to be seen in the land at this fullness of time juncture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For years now, I see the number “414” often.   God regularly speaks to me through numbers and dates.   I learned that the great Azusa Street Revival that took place in 1906 began on April 14 (4/14).  Thus, when I see the number “414,” I think of “revival.”</p>
<p>I remember visiting Toronto in 2000 during the time that renewal meetings were still being hosted at the Toronto Airport Church.     I asked God to show me a “sign” and immediately saw a man holding a piece of luggage that had an eagle sticker on it with the number “414” stamped on the eagle.</p>
<p>Another time, a woman from our ministry team, whose birthday is April 14, left me a voice message at 4:14 pm.   As I saw the message and as I was thinking about “414” and revival, our guest speaker called me from the hotel she was staying at in Post Falls.   At the very moment I was pondering the “414” sign, she asked me if the number “14” meant anything to me.    I told her that it did and she told me that she had just seen that number written across the sky in the cloud formation.</p>
<p>In 2006, we partnered with some other ministries and hosted an event we called “Northwest Revival Fire.”    The event concluded on April 14, which was the 100 year anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival.  My expectation was great as I believed that God was going to doing something extraordinary on that date.    I was not disappointed.</p>
<p>Randy DeMain was preaching on the evening of April 14 when the angel he recognized as “ Breakthrough Revival” appeared to him.    Randy had an encounter with this angel in April 2004 while preaching in Nigeria.</p>
<p>While in Nigeria, he saw amazing miracles in a crusade he was doing there.   He would speak something and he would see it happen.   It reminded him of the Book of Acts.   After going back to his hotel room after the crusade meeting, he experienced the presence of God and heard a voice say “I have a gift for you, will you receive it?”</p>
<p>He looked up and the Lord Jesus Himself walked in the room and began to speak to him.  He said “an angel has come to me and asked to be assigned to you.   His name is Breakthrough Revival.   He has seen in you the same heart and perseverance as the ones he formerly served who have since died.  What you saw and experienced tonight was what the angel does.   He goes before you and he opens up the area you’re ministering in and he drives back all the power of darkness.   He creates an atmosphere where it is on earth as it is in heaven.   The word of God manifests instantly just like in heaven, there’s no hindrance….”</p>
<p>Randy was overwhelmed.   He asked the Lord why this angel would want to leave Nigeria and come to America.     The Lord said “because his work is done and now it’s the work of the gathering and reaping angels.”</p>
<p><em><strong>Then the Lord said, “It’s America’s time.”</strong></em></p>
<p>On April 14, 2006, on the 100 year anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival, Randy saw the angel “Breakthrough Revival” come into the meeting.    We saw amazing breakthrough that year and experienced an outpouring of the Spirit that resulted in many coming to Coeur d’Alene from around the world because of the manifest presence of God in our midst.</p>
<p><b><i>The Breaker will go up before them.  They will break through, pass in through the gate and go out through it, and their King will pass on before them, the Lord at their head.  (Micah 2:13)</i></b></p>
<p>When this angel of Breakthrough came into the room on April 14, 2006, Randy was preaching out of Judges 6, which is the story of Gideon.     That passage of Scripture was my first message when we started our first church in our home on July 7, 1995.     I later learned that Mike Bickle had preached out of that same passage when 50 people had met in a home on November 28, 1982, to pray about their new church plant in Kansas City.</p>
<p>We hosted Randy DeMain in November 2009 and called that weekend event “Breakthrough Revival.”   A large group of young people came from “The Burn” ministry and we prayed for revival and worshipped through the night.    It was the same week that the Awakening began in Kansas City, where thousands were revived and renewed.   Here is the account of what occurred in Kansas City:</p>
<p><i>“On November 11, during a 9:00am class of first-year students, led by Allen Hood and Wes Hall at International House of Prayer University (IHOPU), the Spirit moved in their midst with physical healings, deliverance, and a spirit of joy. That class, on November 11, continued for more than 15 hours. The word spread quickly, and over 2,000 people spontaneously gathered in the auditorium from all over the Kansas City area, as deliverance and physical healings increased. The meeting continued well past midnight. Recognizing that the Spirit was moving, the leadership of IHOPU canceled all classes for the next few days so that we could gather to receive all that the Spirit wanted to do.”</i></p>
<p>The leadership of the International House of Prayer University began nightly six-hour renewal meetings and people from around the world were able to participate via live streaming.    Visitors began arriving from many places to partake of the spiritual awakening.   Hundreds were saved and baptized in water during the nightly meetings.    Many physical healings took place.   Broken young adults were being set free of shame and addiction.   Testimonies came from around the world as many watching the webcast were also being healed and delivered.</p>
<p>After receiving instruction from the Lord, the leadership decided to discontinue the Awakening services for a season.   At that time, the nightly meetings were full of life and full of people, yet the team responded in obedience to the word from the Lord.      The fruit of eleven months (November 2009 to October 2010) was very good.  There were over 6,000 testimonies of emotional and physical healing from all over the world and over 1,700 people were baptized in water.</p>
<p>The promise was that if they would discontinue the Awakening services for a season, and continue to pray in their day and night prayer meetings, that a bigger wave of revival would come in the future.</p>
<p>Shawn Bolz came every month to Coeur d’Alene from Kansas City in 2002 because of an open vision he had and an audible voice he heard in 2001.     He had the understanding that God’s power was going to explode out of the Northwest and would touch the nations and he wanted to sow into the region.     In October, 2002, we hosted a conference with Shawn Bolz, Patricia King, and Paul Keith Davis.   We called it “Waves of Glory.”</p>
<p>Recently in Alabama (where Paul Keith Davis resides) there was an unusual sign in the heavens.    The clouds looked like waves.    The news reported:  “For a morning, the sky looked like a surfer’s dream.   A series of huge breaking waves lined the horizon in Birmingham, Alabama, on Friday (December 16), their crests surging forward in slow motion.   Amazed Alabamans took photos of the clouds and sent them to their local weather station, wondering, “What are these tsunamis in the sky?”</p>
<p><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wave-clouds-in-alabama.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wave-clouds-in-alabama-300x223.jpg" alt="" title="wave clouds in alabama" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-878" height="223" width="300" /></a></p>
<p>Even nature is prophesying to us.  I believe that another wave of breakthrough and glory is coming to the United States, and it will be tsunami!</p>
<p>Please join us at “The Fullness of Time” conference on February 9-12, 2012, in Coeur d’Alene.    Bring your surfboard and we’ll catch the next wave together.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>God TV is an international television broadcaster that transmits from Jerusalem.   It was founded by Rory and Wendy Alec, who are originally from South Africa.    Their goal is to reach one billion people with the Gospel through multi-media evangelism.</p>
<p>God TV reaches millions of homes.   It can be seen in many nations, including the United States, Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe and Mexico.</p>
<p>Years ago, a prophet prophesied to me that God was going to put Coeur d’Alene on the map.</p>
<p>After I received that prophetic word, I learned that James Goll received the following revelation:  “When the apostolic is made personal (AMP), there will be mighty authority in the prophetic (MAP) in that day.   The Lord will amplify His voice in those relational renewal centers, and the Holy Spirit will put them on His map.”</p>
<p>God has been amplifying his voice in this season.   We need eyes to see, and ears to hear, what the Spirit is saying to the Church.   A new signs and wonder movement is emerging.     We will see multitudes healed and delivered in this season.</p>
<p>Ten years ago, Shawn Bolz saw an open vision and heard an audible voice say:</p>
<p><b><i>“There is an undercurrent of my power in the Northwest that is about to explode forth in signs and wonders, healings, and power! I am shaking everything that can be shaken in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and up into Canada. There is a release of my power that will come there, then explode forth all over the nation.”</i></b></p>
<p>Shawn prophesied that there was a volcano of God’s power that was about to explode in the Northwest  and  groups all over the earth would be affected by it.</p>
<p>He also saw a great bon fire, which he believed represented the move of the Spirit and there were many tents camped around the bon fire.   The tents were all very close together and their tent pegs were overlapping because each group wanted to be right in front of the fire.</p>
<p>Shawn interpreted the vision to mean that God is giving a promise that He is not bringing this move of His Spirit to only one ministry or group, but He wants ministries to carry this fire together.   <em><strong>It is a corporate invitation.</strong></em></p>
<p>Shawn Bolz came to Coeur d’Alene the first time exactly twelve years ago (February 9-12, 2000).   In 2002, he came every month from Kansas City to sow into the region because God showed him the power that was going to be released from the Northwest and he knew that the power would go around the world.</p>
<p>I believe that God TV coming to Coeur d’Alene to film “The Fullness of Time” conference on February 9-12, 2012, will be a partial fulfillment of what Shawn prophesied to the region ten years ago.</p>
<p>In April 2011, Mary Dorian saw a vision of a rainbow over Lake Coeur d’Alene.   In the vision, each color of the rainbow represented a promise that God was going to fulfill.    Some have grown weary and disillusioned as they have waited for their promises to be fulfilled.    This is not a time to lose hope.    We are experiencing a major shift and acceleration in the Spirit.   Many promises will be fulfilled this year!</p>
<p>Misty Edwards wrote a song entitled “Waiting for the Rain.”    She refers to an experience that happened in Kansas City in 1983, after a 21 day citywide fast and prayer meeting had taken place to pray and fast for revival.</p>
<p>On the last day of the prayer meeting (May 28, 1983), Bob Jones gave a disappointing prophetic word.  He said that God was going to withhold the revival that He promised because it was not yet His time to release it.</p>
<p>He explained there was a spiritual drought over America and that God had appointed a precise day that He would pour out his rain on America.     To confirm that word, Bob prophesied that there would be a natural drought for three months in Kansas City that would be interrupted by rain on August 23.   In other words, as sure as the natural drought in Kansas City would be interrupted by natural rain on August 23, so also the spiritual drought in America would be interrupted by the rain of the Holy Spirit on precisely the day of God’s choosing sometime in the future.</p>
<p>The intercessors were not happy when Bob delivered that word.  They had high expectations for revival to break out immediately, and not at some “strategic date” in the future.</p>
<p>The three month drought began and there was almost no rain the first three weeks of August in Kansas City.   On August 23, the church gathered for an evening service to cry out for rain.   Just as the service was about to begin, there came a downpour of rain.   There was shouting, praising, and dancing in the parking lot.</p>
<p><a href="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/desert-rain.jpg"><img src="http://newrenaissance.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/desert-rain-300x257.jpg" alt="" title="desert rain" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-856" height="257" width="300" /></a></p>
<p>Supernatural confirmation by acts of nature strengthens our faith and provides assurance that we are hearing God’s voice.</p>
<p>Following are the lyrics to Misty Edwards&#8217; song entitled “Waiting for the Rain:”</p>
<p><b><i>Oh I</i></b><b><i>’</i></b><b><i>m waiting in this desert<br />
Just waiting for the rain<br />
Oh but I won</i></b><b><i>’</i></b><b><i>t leave this desert<br />
Until I see the rain</i></b></p>
<p><em><strong>And I’</strong></em><b><i><strong>m wa</strong>iting in the wilderness<br />
Of promises yet fulfilled<br />
Oh but I won</i></b><b><i>’</i></b><b><i>t leave this wilderness<br />
Until I see the rain</i></b></p>
<p><em><strong>I</strong></em><b><i>’</i></b><b><i>m waiting for the rain<br />
Oh I</i></b><b><i>’</i></b><b><i>m waiting for the rain<br />
I</i></b><b><i>’</i></b><b><i>m just waiting for the rain<br />
Oh I</i></b><b><i>’</i></b><b><i>m waiting for the rain<br />
</i></b></p>
<p><b><i>For I have heard the story told of a prophet who prophesied<br />
Of the rain that would come in the middle of a drought<br />
As a sign of the rain to come</i></b></p>
<p><em><strong>And though years have come and years have gone</strong></em><br />
<em><strong> We’</strong></em><b><i><strong>re s</strong>till waiting for the rain<br />
Oh but I can see the clouds gathering now<br />
Are you ready, are you ready for the rain?</i></b></p>
<p><b><i>Open up the heavens and let it rain, let it rain, let it rain<br />
Open up the heavens and let it rain, let it rain, let it rain<br />
Open up the heavens and let it rain, let it rain, let it rain<br />
Open up the heavens and let it rain, let it rain<br />
Just let it rain, let it rain<br />
God let it rain, let it rain<br />
Let it rain</i></b></p>
<p>In Mary Dorian’s vision last year, she saw people coming from around the world to Coeur d&#8217;Alene again because there was going to be another outpouring of the rain of the Spirit here.     Shawn Bolz was caught up in the Spirit in 2002 and was given a similar message.    He saw a rain come down upon the Northwest.   He prophesied, <em>&#8220;it was a rain of power so that His reign could come.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>God is fulfilling his promise to put Coeur d&#8217;Alene on the map.   The world will be watching these meetings through God TV.</p>
<p><em><strong>“For there is the sound of an abundance of rain.”</strong></em> (1 Kings 18:41)</p>
<p>Please join us February 9-12, 2012 for “The Fullness of Time” conference as we believe for the latter rain in Coeur d&#8217;Alene.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is an apostolic well that is being uncapped in the Spokane/Coeur d’Alene area because of the life and ministry of John G. Lake.</p>
<p>John G. Lake was a man who represented true apostolic ministry.    He had such an incredible healing ministry, that the U.S. Government declared Spokane, Washington, to be the healthiest city in America because of Lake’s ministry there.  In five years of ministry in the Spokane area, there were 100,000 documented cases of healing.</p>
<p>John G. Lake was born in Ontario, Canada in 1870.   His family moved to the United States, where he grew up.  His healing/preaching ministry spanned the years 1898 until his death in 1935.   He is buried in Spokane.</p>
<p>He was one of 17 children.   He was born sickly, as were a number of his brothers and sisters; eight of whom had died when Lake was just a young boy.</p>
<p>He became acquainted with the healing ministry of Alexander Dowie out of necessity.  He had gone to Dowie’s “healing home” in Illinois, where he was healed instantly of a condition he had since his youth.    Over the years, he took several members of his family to Dowie’s “healing home” in Zion City to be healed.</p>
<p>He married Jennie Stevens, who was diagnosed with tuberculosis and heart disease two years into their marriage.    She was also healed through Dowie’s ministry.</p>
<p>Lake was a wealthy businessman, but could hardly focus on his business because of the desire to preach rather than sell insurance.    In 1907, he gave everything away and started evangelistic work, being absolutely dependent on the Lord.</p>
<p>He was called to go to South Africa and went in 1908.    He planted over 600 churches there and saw thousands saved, healed, and delivered during the five years he was there.    John G. Lake was known as “God’s Apostle to Africa.”</p>
<p>On April 28, 2001, I was in Cape Town, South Africa.  I was asked to speak at one of the Apostolic Faith churches that John G. Lake established.    On Saturday evening, April 28, God told me to speak the next morning on “re-digging the healing well of John G. Lake.”    I taught on that topic and afterward we symbolically took shovels and did a prophetic act of re-digging the healing well of John G. Lake.</p>
<p>I had learned about the ministry of John G. Lake from Cal Pierce, who started the International Healing Rooms in Spokane.  Cal was asked to speak at our training center in 1999 and he shared the testimony of how he was sent to Spokane to re-dig the healing well of John G. Lake.  Upon returning from that trip to South Africa, while in the Spokane airport, I had a thought that I’d like to tell Cal about my recent experience and thank him for his teaching on that subject.   I was surprised to see him at the airport and I was able to share the experience with him.</p>
<p>On April 28, 2007, <b><i>exactly six years later</i></b>, I was in Cape Town, South Africa, on another ministry trip.   I was asked to speak at a Vineyard church there.    The couple who came to pick me up, for the evening service I was speaking at, had just become the new directors of the recently formed Healing Rooms in South Africa.    I was amazed that it was six years to the <em><strong>very day and time</strong></em> that God had spoke to me to bring the message on re-digging the healing well of John G. Lake at the Apostolic Faith church in the same city.</p>
<p>John G. Lake was a man who modeled true apostolic ministry and changed the world.    He was a forerunner.  We are called to imitate his faith because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.    (Hebrews 13:7-8)</p>
<p>In this new apostolic era we have entered into, many will operate in the same gifting and will have the same faith as John G. Lake.    He was able to say, &#8220;The Spirit of God ran through my person like a river of Heavenly fluid. Cancers withered under my touch, cripples of every type were instantly restored and works of creation in the bodies of men took place as a result of humbling myself under the mighty hand of God.&#8221;</p>
<p>Michael Howard, who wrote “Tales of a South African Intercessor,” heard the Lord say:</p>
<p><i>“I never forget a place where I have moved.  My presence always hovers in places of previous revivals and I always look for a vessel that will be an instrument whereby I will be enabled to pour out again even in the same place.”</i></p>
<p>In 2003, when we hosted the second conference in the trilogy series, Bob Jones saw a vision of Ray Kirschke.  In the vision, he saw two “quitclaim deeds” being signed by Ray (who was the last living disciple of John G. Lake).    John G. Lake had personally mentored Ray for the last 1.5 years of his life.</p>
<p>A quitclaim deed is a legal document that conveys the full rights of ownership from one party to another.  This was to illustrate the transference of ownership from one generation to the next, of the deposit of spiritual power and authority demonstrated in the prior generation.</p>
<p>After Bob’s vision on the second day of the conference, incredibly we were able to contact Ray Kirschke and he agreed to attend the meeting that evening.   Paul Keith Davis said that what transpired that night was one of the most powerful things he has ever participated in.</p>
<p>Ray prayed a blessing upon this generation and released all that was deposited and resident in him from the prior generation and transferred the promise of divine healing and miracles to this generation.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: small;">Habakkuk 3:2 (The Message)</span></h3>
<p><b><i>GOD, I&#8217;ve heard what our ancestors say about you, </i></b></p>
<p><b><i>    and I&#8217;m stopped in my tracks, down on my knees. </i></b></p>
<p><b><i>    Do among us what you did among them.</i></b></p>
<p><b><i><br />
</i></b></p>
<p>Please join us for “The Fullness of Time” conference on February 9-12, 2012, as we believe for a demonstration of God’s power.<b><i><br />
