PROPHESY TO THE REGION
THE LATTER RAIN GREATER THAN THE FORMER
WEATHER REPORT: As large parts of Central Illinois have experienced some droughts, the same could be said of the region. If prairies need fire for controlled burns, so does the Midwest. Refresh this region. Revive this land. Fire, a river, and the wind, dwell here. "Protect the National Treasure”
"Protect the National Treasure." -Julie Yoder 10/15/24
The staff gathered to share God stories. He is moving still. From Sullivan to Camp Warren, to Mishawaka, IN, His presence is here. Now we prophesy to the region the same. Julie had a sense we were to pray for our founders, Happy and Dianne. With the "power couch" in tow, the prayer began.
Hap: "Let God be God." I want all of you to be bold and go for it."
Mike Yoder: I see this really big rock being dropped into the pond (rock being Hap and Di) and the rippling out and splashing up of the water, but the water comes back down into the center, the water is replaced back into. God is going to water the center.
God's pouring back in at the same time that you are pouring out. It's not a one-way river. Jon Hutch: I saw you both forging this path as your younger selves. Having an absolute blast. The Lord is restoring the strength of your youth in this season. Important to give him the burden daily. The Lord is giving you the gift to operate in your youth in this season. I see the thousands already impacted by your yes being multiplied. As four of them (Julie, Mike, Hap, Di) together, as the move of the spirit continues to move things forward we bless them and we give the weight of the glory of God to him.
We thank you for the stewardship of the way they stewarded the spirit of God so many years ago into the present. We thank you Lord for the partnership.
We intercede for them as a group. The latter rain greater than the former.
Are you ready to stir the winds of the fire? staff prayer cont.
Nathaniel's Vision: I saw all of us in the ocean. We are all on this orange mat. I saw Di & Hap lifting us up at the front of the ship. Lifting up Mike & Julie. There's incredible support. Di and Hap are so confident. The waves are coming at us and we are ready. Everyone standing in the place we need to be- each in their place. Everyone smiling. Mike and Julie leading.
Orange symbol of fire of God, deliverance, & perseverance.
Keirstyn word: "The front end of your life like the Nicholas Cage movie National Treasure- The Declaration of Independence. It's what was sought after for the Vineyard. You stewarded women, the spirit, and prophetic. But the real treasure is on the backside of your life (like in the movie the map was on the back of the declaration) The true treasure found at the back, we bless this treasure hunt Di & Hap have been on and are on. Bless the backend. This beautiful treasure and the lengths they have gone to get this thing. We thank you for their yes.
Samuel Word: Are you ready to stir the winds of the fire? The sword kept in the attic that was stewarded, sharpened and tended to for so many years is being brought down. It's sharp and oiled and ready. I (God) will be your shield again. Do you want to go with the sword?
Julie: And now fill them with POWER God. For the move they gave their lives for. Thank you that it's not over and it will never be over. We surround them with the team and Angelic protection.
