Calling to Cities 2.28.17

http://www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

 

While in prayer today for our nation, the Lord began to give me the eyes to see what He is saying about some of our cities and states. As I saw what He was saying, I began to write as fast as I could what I heard Him saying and the images that He was releasing to me about these cities. Here is what I heard and saw today…

 

Spokane, WA: Hot Tub of Healing, it will be the healthiest city in the US again. He is going to flow from Spokane to Seattle and they will be sister cities of healing.

 

Los Angeles, CA: Storehouse of heavenly messengers. God houses the heavenly messengers for America in LA and when they are called upon to fulfill and assignment they are sent from here.

 

Redding, CA: Financial Mountain. This city will be a financial epi-center inside the mountain which is Redding. Just like we cannot see the activity that is present inside a volcano, this city is going to explode financially.

 

Kentucky: This state is going to win the Triple Crown over sickness, poverty and divorce. The three crowns they will get are health, wealth and covenant.

 

Detroit, MI: The motor city will power the nation. There is going to be so much power coming out of this city, the whole nation will look here as the power source of our nation.

 

New York: Niagara Falls is like the voice of many rushing waters. There is going to be many voices that come out of this state, loud voices that proclaim truth.

 

Kansas City, MO: Heart of America, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak. Oracles, mouthpieces, and a new wave of prophetic voices will arise from here.

 

Colorado Springs, CO: Ministry mecca. There will be word ministries that carry revelation coming out of this city. Revelation light will shine again in this city.

 

Las Vegas, NV: Currently known as sin city. Where people once came for pleasure, the Lord is making it a place where people come to be in plumbline. It’s going to be a plumbline city for the nation.

 

Chicago, IL: This is a city of entrepreneurs, leaders, influencers and builders. It will become the government hub of the United States. The kingdom of God will reign in this city.

 

Minneapolis, MN: This is a city of musical geniuses. Worship music will arise from here on the level of Beethoven and Mozart. Listen for new sounds to arise out of this city.

Des Moines, IA: This city will be giving a state of the harvest address to the nation. They will produce new forms of energy, far beyond ethanol. There’s going to be an agricultural revolution that comes out of Iowa.

 

New Orleans, LA: There is a river of revelation coming out of this city, that is going to bring healing to the nations.

South Carolina: This state is going to be an exporter of sons. They will begin to build schools of sonship to train, equip and deploy sons of the kingdom.

 

Dallas, TX: America’s 5-fold ministry team will come out of this city. This team will be the 5 – fold ministry team for the nation.

 

Houston, TX: You have been known for physical oil, but now you will be known for the oil of joy that breaks the spirit of heaviness. There is an oil coming on this city that will loose that city from the spirit of heaviness.

 

Atlanta, GA: You are an International Apostolic Center that will be like a harbor boss for the South.

 

Phoenix, AZ: Is a watchman city. You will sound the alarm, blow the trumpet, alert the nation to any enemy that may try to invade.

 

Salt Lake City, UT: You are currently a dead sea city, but just like in Ezekiel 37, this city will live again and be an exporter of salt believers to the nations. You are a sending city of salt shakers to the nations.

 

Isaiah 61:6-7 says, “You will be known as the ones specially chosen by the Eternal as priests;

people will speak of you as ministers of our God.

And the wealth of nations will come to you for your delight and enrichment.

7 Many called you disgraced and defiled and said that shame should be your share of things.

Yet you suffered doubly and lived in disgrace;

So double will be your share, and with joy everlasting.

Lessons Learned at Shasta Dam

Shasta Dam is located in Shasta County, near Redding, CA. A large edifice with spectacular scenery surrounding it, this dam held lessons that could only be learned by traversing the 43 stories down into the dam. On a tour led by an extremely funny scientist, who reminded us over and over again that he was retiring in 1299 days, I learned life lessons from this man made, government funded structure, that I did not expect to learn.

1. Popularity does not equal reality.
   1. We were told that the Shasta Dam is the second largest dam in the United States and then were asked to share what we believed was the first largest dam in the U.S. With boldness and confidence someone on the tour declared that Hoover dam was obviously the first largest dam, but to our surprise, though Hoover dam is the most popular dam in the US, it is not the largest. Truthfully, Hoover dam is the fourth largest dam in the US, even though it is an expensive dam to visit, paying $23 entry fee and $7 parking fees. The largest dam in the US is located in Eastern Washington and is called Cooley Dam. So despite its popularity with the American public, Hoover is not the largest dam in the US. In a world of social media where everyone is wondering how many likes they got on their status, or how many views they got on their latest YouTube video, it was a great lesson to learn that popularity does not equal reality. As believers the reality is, our value is determined by God alone, not by people’s opinion of us. Psalm 139:13-14 says we are fearfully and wonderfully made, that His works are wonderful and we can know that full well. You are a diamond, you are extremely value to the Lord.
2. Mortar restricts movement.
   1. During our tour, we were told that the blocks of cement, which are possibly the size of a homes foundation, are stacked side by side and one of top of the other, but not one of them is connected by mortar. Mortar is the adhesive, similar to grout that you find between kitchen or bathroom tiles that keeps them together. The reason these blocks of cement in the dam are not held together with mortar is because it restricts movement. When the water increases or decreases it expands or contracts the dam and the blocks needed to absorb those changes, so no mortar was used. When he said this, I immediately thought of I Peter 2:5 which says, “you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” We are like those blocks of cement, we are the living stones, set side by side and stacked one on top of the other, with Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone, but without mortar, for it restricts our movement as a body.
3. Histories Heave Ho
   1. The final thing that I learned was that the men who were building the Shasta Dam were doing so during the draft for WWII. The US Government decided that the work the men were doing on the Shasta Dam was so critical for us as a nation, they did not draft these men for war as soldiers, but granted them the same GI bill benefits of all the other soldiers, because their work assisted the war. Without the completion of the Shasta dam there would have been limited artillery for the soldiers, for the dam was a source of power, energy and production that resourced those that were going into battle for our nation. Everybody played a critical role, even though some looked on the outset as more important that others, each was needed for military success in WWII. This is so true for us as believers as well, Paul teaches us in 1 Corinthians 12, we all have different gifts, but we need that diversity in order to be effective as a body. So, history gives us a heave ho to remember, we all have a part to play and if one part is not as front and center as another part it does not make it any less significant.

My trip to the Shasta dam taught me life lessons I will never forget. I believe that every experience we are presented with has the potential to teach us things we do not know, if we are willing to listen to the lessons others learned while doing what they could when they could do it. We live in a time in history where the past is familiar, the now is here and the future is unknown, so lets allow history to be wind in our sails, to remind us we are not alone, there is a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on (Hebrews 11). So, don’t forget popularity does not equal reality; mortar restricts movement; and history is giving us a heave ho. Forward we go, as one!
