DEAR FRIENDS,
GLORY RIVER WEST COAST—NIAGARA FALLS! That’s how legendary Texas prophet Sam Brassfield described to Tim Sheets the move of God he saw bursting forth in Salem, Oregon and the west coast. 

SOMEBODY NEEDS A GEOGRAPHY LESSON. That’s what you would think. Yet Dutch Sheets and his brother Tim somehow agreed with it. Maybe they were just caught up in the moment. They just kept prophesying and praying into the word as if Niagara Falls in Oregon was normal! 

Crayzee Confirmation
The word just stunned us. First because, since early January, Jolene and I have been preparing for a special WEST COAST “SPIRIT OF AMERICA” TOUR. We are launching in July, with Ed Watts, Chris Mitchell, and more! It seemed like confirmation.

What’s even more crayzee is that I had an extraordinarily similar vision. Except in my vision Niagara Falls was in Washington State!  

Here’s the backstory. In June 2007 I saw a vision of a move of God in the west coast, with what looked like Niagara Falls as its centerpiece. I ministered the word in Washington State on June 6, 2007. It was then published on the Elijah List on July 5, 2007. 

A year beforehand, a prominent prophet spoke to us about the date June 6, 2007 marking the 40th anniversary of Jerusalem’s restoration under Israeli sovereignty. The prophet felt God had a gift for His bride. Out of the wilderness and into the Spirit! 

He also felt that date would mark our shift into full-time ministry. We shifted accordingly. Then a last-minute invitation came to minister at a revival in Blaine, Washington on June 6. Boom! Looking back, so much of Lamplighter’s DNA was in the word. 

And the convergence of these visions absolutely confirms the Spirit of America Tour. 

THE WATERS ARE RELEASED
The rivers are about to overflow again, and the Body of Christ will be cleansed and revitalized by their torrents, as we cross over in this season.

The vision began when the Holy Spirit showed me a stream of pure water gently flowing from Heaven. The water flowed into a tube connected to what looked like a plastic rainbow. The shape reminded me of an upside-down menorah, with water flowing from arched tubes connected at its base. Each tube was a separate color of the rainbow, and water poured from both sides of each tube.

By this, Heaven’s water flowed through each colored tube of this plastic rainbow and then emerged as a small waterfall. The scene changed, and I saw the same plastic rainbow on the side of a rescue mission at twilight. The rainbow was partially illuminated by a white, neon sign above it that read, “Jesus Saves.”

Then the scene changed back to the waterfall. The gentle stream from Heaven had intensified greatly, sounding like perpetual thunder. All of a sudden, the plastic rainbow gave way to the torrent, and tumbled down the waterfall. As I followed its descent, I saw that the bottom had dropped out of the waterfall, and it was actually much broader and deeper than when the vision began. (Note: it was actually a vision of Niagara Falls. We later went to Niagara Falls to prophesy the vision onsite). 

To my surprise, when I looked over this vast expanse, the rainbow was still right at the center of the waterfall! Though the plastic lid was gone, the water was still flowing according to its pathways, and its hues were more subtle, yet more clear, than ever before.

While pondering the vision, the Lord spoke to me the phrase, “Breaking through Ba’al.” I remembered David’s victory at Baal-perazim, where he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters.”

We have heard the Lord described as “Baal-perazim,” or the Master of breakthrough, and I believe this to be true. In this season, our Master of Breakthrough, Jesus Christ, is displaying His strength by breaking through Ba’al. God is breaking through strongholds of Ba’al that have kept the waters of life from fully flowing.

In Elijah’s day, Ba’al worship had provoked God to decree a drought in the land. Covenant rain was withheld, and harvest withered as a result. But when Elijah broke through the strongholds of Ba’al at Mount Carmel, the restoration of rain was released. In similar fashion, get ready for a deluge of cleansing streams from Heaven, because the Lord, in partnership with His people, is breaking through His enemies like the breakthrough of waters. New harvest will spring forth as a result.

We are in the beginning of a new season where God is moving us from Ba’al to Ishi—from the locked grip of the harsh taskmaster to the outstretched arms of Jesus, our Ishi, our Bridegroom.

(Note: this is especially true today, as our nation has been re-covenanted to the Lord Jesus Christ by our nation’s highest governmental leaders).

As in Elijah’s day, many in our nation, including Christians, have been seduced into following after idols. We mistakenly believed that these idols would provide the security, satisfaction, and pleasure that God alone can give. We sacrificed our innocence on the altar of idolatry, and were carried across the threshold into slavery to the very things we thought would bring us life.

This is why The Call Nashville is so vitally important to the move of God in our day. God wants us to divorce the “harsh taskmaster” and return to our covenant with Jesus Christ.

A Covenantal FlowBiblically, a rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant with man. In the vision, the plastic rainbow represented our display of God’s covenant. It represented a form of godliness that channeled Heaven’s rain to His people, and was an effective distribution system for the season we were in.

But when the heavens shifted, and a greater flow of God’s river came, the form gave way to the flow. Now, this is so important to note: as God releases a greater outpouring of His Spirit, our forms and structures must be allowed to give way to His flow.

Conversely, it is important to see that the waters continued to flow according to the same pathways, even after the form gave way. The Lord spoke to Jolene that this represents a covenantal flow. Beneath the façades of our church structures are godly, covenantal foundations which framed massive historical movements of the Spirit. These ancient, invisible pipelines are about to be reinvigorated with a fresh flood of the Spirit…a covenantal flow! 

“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:14).

Releasing His Voice
The prophet Ezekiel and the Apostle John both experienced God’s voice “like the sound of many waters.” As streams begin to cascade together like a waterfall this year, particularly in the latter half, we will hear a new resonance of His voice over creation.

In the past, Jolene and I have written much about awakening, but this year God has been emphasizing union as well. The Lord is releasing an increased measure of what we like to call a “joining anointing”– to join together what the enemy has divided asunder. This is also an aspect of “breaking through Ba’al.” When the nation of Israel became divided, it was due to God’s judgement on their idolatry. If idolatry empowers division, then repentance from idolatry can also prepare the way for the Body of Christ to be joined together in a deeper expression of the union He intended.

As this true union occurs—joined with Jesus, and joined with each other—the “sound of many waters” will penetrate through and call forth many underground aquifers. These ancient wells are strategically placed to resource the Body of Christ in the season ahead. As the sounds of revival break forth, and you hear His voice like a waterfall, let this sound awaken the depths of God within your own being, and the deposit of His resources within your field. 

“Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls…All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me” (Psalm 42:7).

Sow Water, Reap Rain
So, let’s end at the beginning—with the restoration of rain. In Elijah’s day, the prophet prepared for rain in an unusual way.

As a prophetic act, Elijah called each tribe of Israel to pour pitchers of water on the altar to God he had just restored. Water in a time of drought was their most precious commodity. It represented their very life. Significantly, when the fire from Heaven came, this fire “licked up the water in the trench.”

Then Elijah climbed further up the mountain and travailed for the restoration of rain. When the waters broke forth, God’s people received a perpetual stream of their most precious commodity.

They sowed water, and reaped the restoration of rain.

What is God asking you to sow? I feel like the Lord is saying to many of us, do not withhold any longer. Pour water on the altar. Give to Jesus Christ unreservedly, and let Him restore back to you a floodtide of provision that will awaken the seeds of your future. It is important now to sow—because the waters of revival are released!
