Mercy! New Madrid Mercy

October 7, 2009

Flora, IL-

On this cool, brisk morning we gathered atop a hill in Charlie Brown Park and presented ourselves before the Lord. Pastor Greg Shultz said he heard, “A line has been drawn in the sand.” It was then we noticed two lines running parallel with each other. It was as though something very heavy had made these indentations but they just ran about twenty feet and stopped, and we didn’t see any sign of them anywhere else.

Nevertheless we used them prophetically for our purposes. We repented of the divisions within the body; these lines represented to us the parallel streams in the body, spirit-filled and non-spirit-filled - it has appeared in the past that the twain shall never meet.

Again we took out our trusty shovel (The prophetic art for 5770 depicts this intercessory aspect of lightning rod intercession digging new wells and releasing the glory hidden in the earth very well). We began to dig and prophesy, one of the things that caught our attention was the sound of the Canadian geese - it was if they woke up while we were prophesying.

Scriptures: 2 Chron. 7:14, Is. 27:1. Jos.24:14, Is. 51

Newton, IL-

We met on a high place on the banks of the Embarrass River, which is actually right on the fault line as it runs through that area. Honor and proper alignment were the power points of intercession at this very strategic site.

Remember earlier I related to you the story of George Schalasky, who had started in Indianola, IL the same time out team began in Europa, MO and was traveling south as we were traveling north.

Remember, I chuckled as I saw him and made some wise comment about his uniqueness, and said the Lord would later rebuke me sharply. Well, George has a beautiful wife who is also an anointed dancer named Karen, she met us and I shared with her my error, and began to honor George. As I began to honor him tears began to flow and great compassion overwhelmed us all as we honored one another.

Somewhere in our moments caught up in the Spirit I asked Karen and George’s sister Eva to dance and war over the land, and war they did! My, my, you just had to have been there. Their pastor, John Monroe, and his lovely wife Ann had also come to meet us and the authority he carried in that territory so moved two of us that we had to speak about it. What a wonderful union in Newton!

Scriptures:

Rev. 14:6-12, Gen. 3:5, Ps. 32:8, Is. 27:,1 Ps. 8:2, Ps. 104, Hos. 2:14-15

Charleston, IL-

We met in a park atop a hill just off Division Street in Charleston, and again three watchmen from the region were waiting to meet us. The thing that caught my attention here was the rift in the land and what the Lord instructed me to do concerning it.

Pastor Greg began to read the mail of the territory and this spoke volumes to the watchmen who lived there and resonated to the accuracy of his words.

They then shared with us that the town used to be known for its sweet-tasting water, but when the state was looking for different cities in which to build the university many years ago it was a very dry season, so the leaders of the town had residents water their lawns to deceive the leaders into thinking water was plentiful. Now everyone complains about the taste of the water.

The university is a bastion of humanism and dead religion so the city has suffered the loss of living water coursing through its veins.

The Lord had me lay in the rift as Elijah had laid upon the dead boy and we began to prophesy Ezekiel 37 into the rift, and blow our shofars into the rift. We then stood up, called the women to the center and the men surrounded them, we then released the sounds of heaven as the Lord had taught us to do on the Mississippi Mercy journey.

Here he said that the angels who had been assigned to each of those babies (eternal souls), rode upon the winds of the worship with flaming swords of awakening light, and the sounds of this moment were incredible.

Scriptures: Is. 27:1, Ez. 37

Indianola, IL-

We met at the base of the water tower located in a playground in the middle of this small town. Cheryl Weaver and company, a warring band of AGLOW-trained intercessors, met us here. I love ‘em! Cheryl and team had held position at this site on July 28.

Cheryl had been burdened all day with a spirit of loss that was over the land. Myron Filkens concurred; he experienced that same thing as we entered this area. We prayed through this revelation and began to tie the many moments of the past three days together.

Our intercessions concluded with the digging of fourteen holes although there were only thirteen of us, I felt we were to dig fourteen. Myron had some sunflower seeds Mississippi Mercy team member Anne Crane had given him and felt we needed to plant them here representing righteousness springing from the ground.

We placed the seeds in the ground, received communion together, and for the first time of the journey, drove three stakes in the ground as Cheryl had brought one, Greg had been driving one at each stop, and so had we.

As I was going around the circle asking if everyone was clear and felt a full release of what we were assigned to accomplish, a large man, blind in his right eye and a with a large white beard walked up. I asked if he had anything that he wanted to pray and his response was that he was new to this kind of praying but had driven all the way from Centralia, Illinois, which is several hours away to take part.

Cheryl Weaver burst out he is the fourteenth person, the reason for fourteen holes! So we had him place seed in the ground as well.

The journey had began in Nesbit, MO with a large man blind in his left eye giving specific direction to help us find our way, and ended in Indianola, IL with a large, kind man blind in his right eye placing the last seed in the ground, We then sealed this assignment through the power of the Blood, the Eternal word, and the Holy Spirit.

Now I don’t really know what is up with all of that, but I have just been overwhelmed with something wonderful as I type these last few lines.

Scriptures: Gen. 3:5, 2 Chron. 7:14, Hos. 10:2

In Closing-

But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

We are well aware that our God, whom we serve, can shake anything He wants, when He wants. The purpose of this journey was to see to it that it is God alone who does the shaking and dividing, and not some devil using some legal access of a bitter curse to bring destruction and loss on the people of our land. For we know also that the thief comes not but to kill, steal, and destroy.

We know that Father has heard our prayer; we believe that the prayers released along the New Madrid fault line are causing a 10.2 among antichrist structures throughout the land! We bless you, Israel, and pray for your peace, Jerusalem.
