DEAR FRIENDS,
FIRST—YOU AND I ARE TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM TURNAROUND! That is, the global launch of Turnaround Tuesday, on 2-22-2022. As we seek the Lord we sense He wants to birth a defining move of His Spirit on this exceptional day. Few things are closer to His heart than seeing sons and daughters coming home to Him, and His Eliakims released as fathers and mothers to their spheres. Seeing a generation set free!
The 2-22-22 gathering will feature prophetic release for the hour, impartations, powerful teachings, and a commissioning. That said, we all know that none of this will get us across the finish line. Very simply we need Holy Spirit breakthrough. Please pray accordingly. “Not by might nor power but by God’s Spirit, says the Lord!”
Mark your calendars. Join us in person—best—or online—second best. Together we are setting the course for turnaround.
SECOND—thank you for your GREAT encouragement as we celebrate a decade in Washington DC. As a former photojournalist, pictures have long been a visual diary for me. Hope you’ll enjoy a few of the amazing moments and memories that continually remind us how blessed we are to serve the Lord here, to minister here and across the nation and nations, and to run with you all as the Lamplighter family. And I’m still in awe that WE GET TO DO THIS!
Many of you have blessed us spontaneously with a gift to celebrate our 10 years in the Capitol. There’s a link above if you’d like to join the party! As always we are grateful.
Call to “Ruling Roundtables”
In honor of a decade in DC, today I want to share with you a prophetic word on the “Rule-man Roundtables, or the “Ruling Roundtables.” A prophetic dream from a decade ago has come to define much of our private work here in Washington DC. Details of the dream are prescient beyond what we could have imagined, referencing a home that overlooks DC, that a call to host strategic roundtables. To an extent our Wednesday calls are patterned after this calling. So is our home group. And occasionally we are privileged to host private prophetic roundtables as well.
Note that the home the Lord brought us to is located directly across from the Pentagon. Our friend Lynn Alderson prophesied about a “spiritual Pentagon” that would bring high level leaders together. This became a tremendous confirmation to us. Also Chuck Pierce prophesied about angelic councils connected to apostolic and prophetic councils. We have had the privilege of seeing this as well, playing out right before our very eyes. Someday I hope to share the full story.
But that said, we are praying that the Lord continue this sacred synergy in times ahead.
This prophetic dream is being shared today in part to celebrate the Lord’s relentless faithfulness over our decade in DC. But as importantly, we are sharing it because it’s time for many of you to start “ruling roundtables” in your own region. May this word become an activating confirmation.
Ruling in the Spirit of David
As you will see, the “ruling” part of the roundtable dream was emphasized by two very unique characters within it. Our friend David Ruleman is a longtime apostolic leader who with his wife Tracey pioneered a move of Holy Spirit in Washington DC through “the Gate,” along with his day job of pioneering Christian radio here in DC. As an aside, he also pioneered a rediscovery of hilarity to a very serious, self-obsessed city. That also qualifies as a move of God!
David Ruleman. His very name conveys a forerunner calling. You know we are all summoned into the footsteps of King David both in intimacy with Jesus, and rulership with Him to release Heaven on earth. Maybe it’s no coincidence they pastored a work called “The Gate DC.” They have mentored so many sons and daughters, including Jolene and myself, our prophetic friends Tom and Lynnie Harlow, current Gate pastors Steve and Maryanne Levine and so many others. Including another DC pioneer named Jason Hershey. Their partnership helped launch the 24-7 Davids Tent DC!
David and Tracey became literal gates of Heaven in a way that changed the face of Washington DC. We are praying for their legacy in Christ to become yours for your region. It’s time to rule!
The Ruling Roundtable—2012 Dream
On November 12, 2012 I awoke from the following prophetic dream while visiting Paul and Cheryl Amabile on Cape Cod. The Amabile are dear friends of ours who work with Lou Engle, and both our prophetic revelation and ministry journeys have often run on parallel tracks. As the Lord would have it, we were just in Plymouth MA the day before, on 11-11, celebrating the anniversary of the Pilgrims’ signing of the Mayflower Compact.
Some things never change 🙂
In the dream on 11-12-12, Jolene and I were in the market for a place to live. We were looking at a glass house built right in the middle of a large shopping area, with large mountains surrounding. The house was inexpensive—only $32,000.
David and Tracey Ruleman, formerly the pastors of the Gate DC before retiring in Florida, were our realtors, showing us the house and selling it to us. Again, their last name, Rule-man, resonates with the “Crown and Throne commission” to RULE from the house of David.
The house was large and spacious, with a very unusual kitchen area. One feature in particular stood out. The kitchen area of the glass house featured a glass pulpit with a very large, round glass table.
Large windows showed the mountains and the traffic outside. The apartment/condo was very close to a 24-7 fitness center in the mall, which could be seen from above. There was a very big road with a lot of traffic as well as lots of mall traffic. Yet it was as quiet and peaceful as rural homes, and more quiet than most urban homes.
Biblically, mountains often represent government. God was showing us His desire for us to receive a ministry house, a davidic prayer center that impacts government.
Oh. And our home not only overlooks DC, but the I-395 bridge that connects Virginia with DC. Big road!
It’s also important that a 24-7 fitness center is now in view. Here’s a word from the Lord on this. God is calling you and I together into a renewed focus on consistent training to strengthen ourselves in the Lord.
But I didn’t really get the “marketplace” part. Then, at least. Would you believe that five years after we arrived here, the marketplace giant Amazon chose the ground right across the street from us to build “HQ2,” their second headquarters! And from our perch, the marketplace dimension has quite literally now come into view!
Can’t make this stuff up.
Securing the House
In the dream I sat down to talk with David about putting a $500 deposit on the home to take it off the market before someone else tried to purchase it. In the dream I would have signed the papers immediately, but needed to show Jolene the home, and she was still en route. The price was amazing, everything in the apartment was amazing.
The Roundtable
Lets finish up by exploring the imagery of the table. As shared, the Lord is putting a major emphasis this year on prophetic roundtables. Where people from different streams encounter God together, and share insights and giftings that bring a more complete expression of His heart and work. Like the elders before the Throne, participants will gaze on God’s majesty and legislate His Kingdom expressions in the earth. Crown and Throne!
Further, a kitchen table conveys community. God desires mature expressions of apostolic community, with people of different strengths who are united by a common cause, sharing not just their labors in the gospel but their very lives. Our home group exemplifies this.
As we move into 2022, God is raising up prophetic roundtables in the apostolic spirit of King David, with gatekeepers entrusted with the Isaiah 22:22 key of David to govern His house and the world around it.
My humble suggestion is that you and I follow the lead of the Rule-mans in Jesus. Devote yourselves to encountering God’s love. Be a conduit. Choose to be fathers and mothers both to His house and your world. Pursue the prophetic. Empower sons and daughters to lead. Let “by My Spirit” become your standard. Spend your lives and livelihood on cultivating God’s move in your midst.
And for Heaven’s sake, PLEASE loosen up! Let gentle hilarity be a hallmark of this new move. We all need it. In Jesus’ Name!
