      Psalm 104 

      As we have stated in times past, the Lord emphasizes a Psalm to correspond 
      with each year that provides an outline of His thoughts and ways. There 
      are prophetic indications provided in the Psalm corresponding to that 
      particular year that will have overriding applications on multiple levels. 


      It seems that Psalms 104 provides even more insight and emphases for 2004 
      than the various Psalms have for the previous years. The year 2002 
      provided an incredibly dry season both naturally and spiritually with 
      greater measures of the Holy Spirit being released in 2003. We will 
      continue to see that expansion take place over the next three years as we 
      become more acclimated with the ways of Heaven for this generation and 
      learn to more fully cooperate with the Holy Spirit to release Heavenly 
      virtue. 

      It was specifically noted by the Holy Spirit that there are 35 verses in 
      this Psalm which also provides a source of direction. For us, the number 
      35 generally points to the Highway of Holiness depicted in Isaiah 35. 
      Clearly, there is a present call for greater measures of purity and 
      consecration in order to remain on the lofty path established for us. This 
      is the “higher way” of holiness to which we are called. When we do, it 
      will carry us above the cares of this world and the tormenting spirits 
      that are released with substantial authority from the realms of darkness. 

      This Psalm has as an overriding theme the petition of God's people for His 
      supernatural intervention. This is clearly desperately needed. It is a 
      call for prayer, praise and prophetic proclamations to ascend to the 
      throne of Heaven provoking a release of His awesome attributes and power. 
      Additionally, Psalm 35 contains truth that will work in unison with the 
      strategy of the Lord for the present release of His authority and warring 
      host. He will begin to contend with our adversaries when we petition Him 
      and call for Him to occupy His post as Captain of the Host and the awesome 
      Warrior. 

      1. Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are very great; you are 
      clothed with splendor and majesty, 

      Our praise will restore to the eyes of the people the great glory and 
      majesty of the Lord. When we affectionately and gratefully bless the Lord 
      with our praise and acknowledgment of His majesty and splendor, it will 
      awaken a generation to divine destiny. 

      This once again points to the houses of prayer and praise that are being 
      established as well as a call to organize specific seasons of prayer and 
      intercession that may last several days at a time. These are the 
      introductions to the restoration of the Tabernacle of David administration 
      of worship and prophetic declarations. The heavens will be transformed as 
      we enter more complete into this ministry in maturity. 

      2. Covering yourself with light as with a cloak, stretching out heaven 
      like a {tent} curtain. 

      The Lord clothes Himself in light as with a virtuous garment to depict His 
      great authority in Heaven and in creation. We are likewise called to be 
      endowed with the raiment of light that proceeds from Him. We are called to 
      be the light and salt of the earth. 

      The pure white light of Heaven will proceed from the throne to be imparted 
      into the spirit and soul of the Lord's people to make us divine carriers 
      of His virtue. Many will encounter the lights of Heaven in private worship 
      and in corporate settings in amplified ways over the coming months and 
      years. The Apostle Paul once had such an encounter and it transformed his 
      life forever. The Bible describes the Lord as our source of every good 
      thing coming down from the Father of lights in whom there is no shifting 
      shadow. (See James 1:17) 

      A "great light" will be offered to those who have formally known darkness 
      and gloom. Much like the promise given to the land of Zebulun and 
      Naphtali, the people who walk in darkness will see a brilliant light and 
      he will make the latter time a glorious season. (See Isaiah 9:1-2) This is 
      for the land "beyond the Jordan" as we cross over into the day of promise. 
      Illumination will be coming to those who have formally embraced 
      traditionalism and religious structures and many will now embrace divine 
      light 

      3. He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the 
      clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind; 

      The Lord is releasing the wings of the wind to transport us from captivity 
      into liberty and freedom. His angels are winds that fuel the flame of fire 
      burning in the heart of His ministers. Great spiritual winds will come to 
      lift us above the issues of this world as we learn to soar in the Spirit 
      like eagles. This fresh wind will carry many to higher realms of 
      revelation than known in the past. 

      4. He makes the winds His messengers, flaming fire His ministers. 

      Angels coming as divine winds will spread and amplify the fiery words that 
      will proceed from the mouth of the Lord's messengers. Throughout the 
      ministry of the Lord Himself, we discover angelic activity that surrounded 
      His life. Likewise, substantial activity will accompany the ministers of 
      the Lord from the Heavenly host to help bring to maturity and orchestrate 
      readiness in this generation for the divine visitation promised to it. 

      People will discover with great surprise the far-reaching effects their 
      words will have as the angels carry anointed messages to the far corners 
      of the earth. The word of the Lord that proceeds from anointed vessels 
      will be transported and conveyed by the winds of these angels to strategic 
      individuals and regions with transforming impact. 

      5. He established the earth upon its foundations, so that it will not 
      totter forever and ever. 

      The Lord is establishing a foundation of righteousness on the earth upon 
      which He will allow the authority of His throne to rest. Once fashioned, 
      it cannot be moved from its place. The things that He is setting in motion 
      will continue without end. The time has now arrived for the revelation of 
      Christ to be delegated to a prophesied and foreknown generation. 

      6. You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters were 
      standing above the mountains. 

      The Lord rules from His throne with perfect supremacy and rest. Nothing 
      takes Him by surprise nor is there a need for which he has not already 
      made provision. The righteous need not fear but stand in faith. The Lord 
      saw all things before the foundation of the world and provided for every 
      need. 

      The heavens came into existence by the word of the Lord and the waters to 
      cover the earth by the expression of His lips. The victory is already 
      achieved. 

      7. At your rebuke they fled, at the sound of your thunder they hurried 
      away. 

      The voice of the Lord is as the sound of thunder. The Lord will be 
      speaking with far greater clarity in the coming days to those with ears to 
      hear. He stands at the door knocking with the revelatory voice hearkening 
      to the people anointed with the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation who will 
      open to Him and minister to Him in their priestly role. 

      We are living in the day in which there will be thunder coming from a 
      clear sky to prophetically indicate the sounding of His voice to this 
      generation. 

      8. The mountains rose; the valleys sank down to the place which you 
      established for them. 

      Divine order is being established in the earth. The perfect model of 
      creation depicts the supernatural order of Heaven. The time has now 
      arrived for the appropriate biblical order to be established in the 
      Church. The heavens…the stars…the sun and the entire universe function in 
      its perfect order and structure. The establishment of the earth and the 
      boundaries set for the waters highlight the authority of God in all of 
      creation. The governmental order will now take its place in the Church to 
      function in power and true spiritual authority. 

      9. You set a boundary that they may not pass over, so that they will not 
      return to cover the earth. 

      The Lord is drawing a "line in the sand" as a boundary or line of 
      demarcation to determine who will cross over and wholly submit themselves, 
      spirit, soul and body. There are boundaries and parameters that are set in 
      the earth and in our individual lives. We are presently living at a 
      juncture in time that will be looked upon for years to come as a pivotal 
      crossroad in human history. We must carefully make our choices and 
      decisions through prayer and greater understanding of His Word and the 
      prophetic outline foreseen by the prophets of old. 

      10. He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the 
      mountains; 

      The Lord is now releasing springs of living water to flow forth from our 
      innermost being to quench the thirst of a parched and dry land. We are to 
      be the rock through which the water will flow. He is the source and we are 
      to be the vessels that He utilizes. Many people will be "sent" to dry and 
      desolate places to be a source of life through which springs of Heavenly 
      water will flow. 

      11. They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench 
      their thirst. 

      The springs of living water will proceed from the mouth of the Lord's 
      messengers. This is a call to power evangelism to give a drink of living 
      water to the lost and desperate. This will be a season for greater 
      measures of evangelism outside the four walls of the Church. Many will be 
      anointed and sent to difficult areas with a commission from Heaven to 
      provide living water. 

      12. Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they lift up their voices 
      among the branches. 

      Birds of Heaven are oftentimes representative of angelic messengers 
      bringing songs of praise and adoration to individuals and fellowships. 
      During seasons of high praise an angelic host will very often participate 
      with the people in worship to bring the song of Heaven. Prophetic songs of 
      praise and deliverance will come as individuals determine to yield to this 
      dimension of our revelatory heritage. This will be especially true as we 
      learn to function more fully in Tabernacle of David worship. 

      The prophet David assigned specific priests to accompany him and others to 
      record spontaneous songs of praise and worship that would come through the 
      prophetic anointing. Likewise, we will receive great insight from the 
      psalms, hymns and spiritual songs developed through this gift. 

      13. He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; the earth is 
      satisfied with the fruit of His works. 

      The upcoming season will produce a time of fruitfulness or harvest. This 
      is pointing to the harvest of souls as well as the return of many 
      prodigals who have been running from their divine call and commission. The 
      living water that will be carried by specifically anointed vessels will 
      nourish the seeds of destiny imparted to the souls of many, bringing them 
      to the awareness of their destiny and purpose. 

      There is a prophetic promise in Joel 2:26 stating that we will eat and 
      drink and be "satisfied." We are not yet satisfied with our present 
      condition or the deposit of Heaven that we carry. We are to eat and drink 
      of the Lord's goodness and praise Him from a satisfied heart. 

      14. He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and vegetation for the 
      labor of man, so that he may bring forth food from the earth, 

      Anointed teachers will begin to instruct the Church on becoming the mature 
      body. The Lord will cause growth and expansion to be facilitated in order 
      that we may bring spiritual food to the nations. This is the time to put 
      away childish things and begin to partake of strong meat that is being 
      delegated in due season. 

      There is a present call to Hebrews 6:1. We must move beyond the elementary 
      principles into the things of Heaven that we may taste the good word of 
      God and the power of the age to come. All this is accomplished through 
      intimate relationship with the Lord as deep longings within us call out to 
      the depths of God's heart. 

      15. And wine which makes man's heart glad, so that he may make his face 
      glisten with oil, and food which sustains man's heart. 

      There is coming a season of joy that is unspeakable and full of glory. 
      Wine is symbolically expressing gladness of heart and stimulation that 
      comes by the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Fresh bread is coming 
      from Heaven as the hidden manna set apart and reserved for this 
      generation. The call to grow in maturity will be facilitated by the Lord's 
      leadership presenting to the people the deeper things of God that are 
      provided to us by the Spirit of Revelation who searches the heart of the 
      Father. 

      From this posture we will be strengthened as a mighty warrior and equipped 
      to encounter the plots of the adversary set against this generation. The 
      Lord is a Warrior and we are to be clothed in His militant attributes as 
      it relates to the enemy who dwells in heavenly places. 

      16. The trees of the LORD drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon which He 
      planted, 

      Trees of righteousness are soon to emerge endowed with the resources of 
      Heaven necessary to build a spiritual habitation. The Lord is looking to 
      the humble and contrite of heart to build a dwelling place for Him. The 
      cedars represent purity of character symbolized by the material used by 
      Solomon in the construction of the Temple. 

      Our call is to be clothed with the incorruptible material of His nature 
      and character. This will make us the living stones placed in His Temple. 
      The trees and cedars represent the resources of Heaven necessary to 
      construct the spiritual Temple ordained for this generation. 

      17. Where the birds build their nests, and the stork, whose home is the 
      fir trees. 

      There is a present invitation for intimacy and fellowship with the Lord on 
      an unprecedented level. Psalms 84: 3 depicts the Lord's people as a 
      sparrow who has found a home or a swallow discovering a nest for herself— 
      the altar of God. We are to make our abode before His throne and like 
      David discover the one thing most important that will satisfy our soul. 
      That is, to continually behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in 
      His Temple. 

      18. The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs are a refuge for 
      the shephanim. 

      There are many who have attempted to hide from God in the high mountains 
      and among the cliffs and ledges. However, there is no place obscured from 
      His sight. There are many who are seemingly characterized with a "goat 
      nature" that will discover the Lord in the next wave of evangelism now 
      being released. This could also point to many people who have a Godly 
      calling placed upon their life that are presently in the occult, New Age, 
      and heathenism who will hear the voice of Lord and respond. 

      19. He made the moon for the seasons; the sun knows the place of its 
      setting. 

      The Church is often represented by the moon with the mandate to reflect 
      the light of the sun and mark the times and seasons of Heaven. Our call is 
      to reflect His great light. We are now approaching the time in which the 
      light of the moon will be as the light of the sun (son) and the sun will 
      be seven times brighter like the light of seven days. (See Isaiah 30) 

      The prophetic voice of the Church is to announce to the world the 
      appropriate times and seasons of Heaven and the activities of God on the 
      earth. As we press in to the revelatory realm of Heaven, we will access 
      greater understanding into this important role. 

      20. You appoint darkness and it becomes night, in which all the beasts of 
      the forest prowl about. 

      Those who dwell in darkness will behold a great Light... those who dwell 
      in the land of intense darkness and the shadow of death will encounter the 
      Light of Heaven. (See Isaiah 9:2) The light of God is coming to illumine 
      our darkness. This is both for those who are saved and living in 
      depression, discouragement and oppression as well as the unsaved that are 
      without any light or salvation. Greater radiance from God is coming. 

      It is during the night seasons or days of darkness that the predators 
      prowl about seeking prey. Darkness is allowed only to illustrate the 
      brilliance of His great light. 

      21. The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God. 

      The young lions here represent people who are hungry for God and seek Him 
      from a desperate heart. The Lord will always feed the spiritually hungry. 

      One of the great miracles performed by our Lord was the multiplication of 
      the fishes and loaves. Herein we have a prophetic picture of the Lord 
      supernaturally providing bread for hungry followers, given to the 
      disciples who then delegate it to the masses. The Lord took the bread and 
      blessed it with a supernatural blessing that multiplied it so that all who 
      were hungry had more than enough. The Lord will always make a way to 
      provide bread for those who are hungry. 

      22. When the sun rises they withdraw and lie down in their dens. 

      Once a hungry heart has eaten and is satisfied, he will lay down in peace 
      and rest. The Lord is calling us to taste and see that He is good. 
      Therein, we will discover the rest of God and the fruit of His many 
      benefits. 

      23. Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until evening. 

      The man who goes forth to do his work and faithfully labors until evening 
      is considered the righteous laborer and entrusted with greater power and 
      authority. This season will produce righteous and faithful people who will 
      be endowed with greater measures of faith and broader dimensions of 
      authority because of their trustworthiness. 

      24. O LORD, how many are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the 
      earth is full of your possessions. 

      Divine wisdom is a great attribute and spiritual key to unlock the 
      resources of Heaven. An invitation now stands before us to access through 
      the revelatory realm, greater dimensions of Heavenly wisdom and insight. 
      Supernatural treasures are the fruit of the mantle of wisdom. 

      25. There is the sea, great and broad, in which are swarms without number, 
      animals both small and great. 

      Very often, the Holy Spirit represents humanism and psychological 
      reasoning through creeping creatures and swarming insects. They illustrate 
      the thoughts and ways of man imparted through this symbolic 
      representation. Flies can very often portray lies. Presently, there is a 
      great sea and vast array of humanistic thinking and soulish reasoning that 
      attempts to make the word of God of no effect. This passage depicts that 
      spiritual reality. 

      26. There the ships move along, and Leviathan, which you have formed to 
      sport in it. 

      Great “leader-ships” will begin to emerge to deal with humanism and 
      psychological reasoning that has attempted to steal the birth right of 
      God's people. Ships at sea represent "leader ships" called for a specific 
      purpose. On the other hand, greater authority will also be delegated to 
      the enemies of the Cross as represented by Leviathan. However, the power 
      of the Cross has cut the head off of this creature and our job is to 
      retrieve those who have previously been held captive by this deceiving 
      spirit. 

      27. They all wait for you to give them their food in due season. 

      There is a present call, particularly in the Western Church, to understand 
      more fully the ministry of waiting upon the Lord. In response to this 
      mandate, we will discover greater realms of revelation and apprehend our 
      spiritual meat in due season. There will be a renewing of our spiritual 
      strength as we minister to the Lord in this fashion. (See Isaiah 40:31 and 
      Psalm 46:10) 

      28. You give to them, they gather it up; you open your hand, they are 
      satisfied with good. 

      This is a time to taste the good word of God and the fruit of His many 
      blessings. When we do, will discover that He is indeed good. The Lord is 
      coming to a generation with the open book in His hand to be eaten and 
      devoured by His bride. We will then be called to prophesy again concerning 
      many nations, tongues, tribes and kingdoms. 

      29. You hide your face, they are dismayed; you take away their spirit, 
      they expire and return to their dust. 

      The common grace that has been upon the earth will “expire” so that “Great 
      Grace” can be revealed to the Church. There are greater dimensions of 
      grace that the Lord wants to bring to and through the Church. It is to 
      those who will shout the proclamations of "grace, grace." (See Zechariah 
      4) 

      Without grace we would be troubled and dismayed by the hiding of His face 
      from us. He then sends His Spirit to give us greater measures of grace. 

      30. You send forth your Spirit, they are created; and you renew the face 
      of the ground. 

      When the breath of God is released it produces spiritual life. The Lord 
      will be breathing life into us in order to take this gospel to the nations 
      of the earth with power and authority. The Lord is going to breathe on 
      many to produce a wave of evangelism in the immediate season before us. 
      This Spirit of Life will enter the people and set them on the course of 
      destiny. This will be accomplished through the great-grace that is coming. 


      31. Let the glory of the LORD endure forever; let the LORD be glad in His 
      works; 

      We are living in a day in which the Glory of God will be manifested and 
      revealed. The Lord will express joy in His saints and release strength for 
      the battle and hope to displace hopelessness. He will rejoice in the work 
      that is to be accomplished in this pivotal hour of human history. 

      When the Lord finds pleasure in us, it provides spiritual strength and 
      fortification. What greater acknowledgment can we hope for than to receive 
      the pleasure of the Lord and be identified as His friends! 

      32. He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and 
      they smoke. 

      The days ahead will experience great shaking and quaking both on the earth 
      and in the heavens. There is a shaking coming so that those things that 
      remain can be revealed as having been purified and refined. 

      33. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my 
      God while I have my being. 

      Great praise services will experience tangible expressions of His presence 
      as the praise reaches the heights of Heaven. There will be substantial 
      anointing on praise gatherings birthed in humility and sincerity. As the 
      praise reaches a crescendo it will touch the heart of the Father prompting 
      a great response from Heaven. This will be the year for visitation to 
      occur in praise on a greatly expanded scale. 

      There will be a number of places that this is true but there will be a 
      special emphasis on Nashville and the calling placed upon these worshipers 
      to lead in the coming battle. 

      34. Let my meditation be pleasing to Him; as for me, I shall be glad in 
      the LORD. 

      With the many distractions from the spirit of this world, our calling is 
      to meditate upon Him and His vast glory. Our prayer should be for the 
      grace to fasten our gaze upon Him neither looking to the right nor the 
      left so that He would find His joy in our adoration. 

      This is a time to meditate upon the attributes of the Lord and His 
      promises to us. In these revelations He is specifically admonishing us to 
      focus our attention upon His commitment to: 

      1. Make us more than conquerors in Christ. 
      2. I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me. 
      3. Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will never leave nor 
      forsake me. 
      4. I once was young but now I am old yet I have never seen the righteous 
      forsaken nor his seed begging for bread. 
      5. Taste and see that the Lord is good. 

      35. Let sinners be consumed from the earth and let the wicked be no more. 
      Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD! 

      God granted repentance is coming to the wicked. We are admonished in 2 
      Timothy 2:25-26 to gently and with humility bring correction if perhaps 
      God may grant repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth. Many are 
      held captive by the snare of the adversary that the Lord wants to liberate 
      with deliverance and escape from bondage and the presence of darkness. 

      Great fear is coming upon the earth and the Lord in His mercy is calling 
      sinners to return to Him. Fear, depression and terror are the reward of 
      the wicked contributing to the greatest judgment upon those separated from 
      Christ. 

      Seven— The Number of Completion 

      In a visionary experience, Bob saw a map of the United States with the 
      number seven (7) superimposed over the map. This was to spiritually 
      indicate that a work of completion had been accomplished in a number of 
      people prepared for a fresh release from the throne of Heaven. The places 
      that the number seven laid across the map indicated a unique release of 
      the Spirit in those areas. 

      That is not to indicate that it is the exclusive place in which the Lord 
      is releasing a deposit of His Spirit. Rather, it is strictly highlighting 
      this area for an extraordinary expression of God to be demonstrated by 
      those specifically prepared for this purpose. 

      The emblem of the seven seemed to begin along the Gulf coast and expand at 
      an angle toward the northeast with the region of New Hampshire forming the 
      upper most portion of the numerical symbol. From there it extended across 
      the northern portion of the United States and Canada to the West Coast and 
      made a slight turn down around Oregon and California. 

      There is a finished work that has been fulfilled in a body of people who 
      will be brought close to the Lord and His throne to hear fresh expressions 
      from His heart. Seven is the number symbolic of completion to indicate the 
      maturing that has transpired in those to be used by the Holy Spirit. 

      As the vision continued, Bob also saw another numerical seven; however, 
      this one was inverted. This was also to indicate the completed and 
      maturing work that has been accomplished in the realm of darkness through 
      those who oppose the work of the cross and the Church of the Lord Jesus. 

      Our adversary has been at work in a body of people to equip them in the 
      realms of darkness to oppose the fresh dimension of Heaven being unleashed 
      in this hour. The Lord indicated that His Light will always overcome 
      darkness and we should not be threatened by this increased opposition. 
      When we submit ourselves to Him in complete trust, He will go before us in 
      the battle. 

      Crossing Over 

      A baptism of fire is coming upon those who have been set apart and 
      prepared to be mightily anointed in this juncture of Church history. The 
      Lord clearly has a strategic blueprint that is continuing to display His 
      perfect plan and purpose for this age. It is His roadmap to the Prince of 
      Peace with signposts along the way to indicate progress. This crossroad is 
      alerting us to a present release of spiritual virtue and Heavenly power 
      for the vessels that have gone through a grooming and purging process in 
      order to qualify them to carry this dimension of His authority. We are now 
      broaching the completion of a spiritual stepping stone that ultimately 
      leads to the throne of Heaven. 

      Many of the central figures used in the process of completing this 
      important step in God's plan are receiving their Heavenly reward and 
      crossing over into eternity. The Lord spoke it this way, 

      “Derek was a prince...a prince of God’s word. He brought the word of 
      truth. Bill was bright... for he allowed his light to shine upon youth and 
      Kenneth Hagin was a man of great faith that believed God for the release 
      of Heavenly grace.” 

      These men have now graduated to their Heavenly reward. The present 
      generation must now assume the responsibility of leadership and take the 
      next step to go far beyond the valuable foundation established by these 
      devoted predecessors. As Elijah was a prophet in the wilderness, the Lord 
      will now establish the “Elishas” who will be prophets to the masses. 

      These Godly men going home have left us with a rich heritage and a duty to 
      carry the torch of Heaven to greater heights. These three are not the only 
      ones who have entered the realms of glory. However, they are the ones who 
      have been specifically mentioned through these revelations. There call and 
      the function they served represents insight into the next generation soon 
      to occupy their post of duty. 

      No longer will the Lord's anointed ones be hidden in the wilderness. They 
      will now be revealed on a broad scale to a number of people in a corporate 
      way. A new generation of radical prophetic voices will now emerge who have 
      encountered Heaven and carry a fresh expression from the heart of God. 

      No man will {be able to} stand before you all the days of your life. Just 
      as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or 
      forsake you. (Josh 1:5) 

      Joshua carried the anointing and commission of Moses to its completion. 
      The prophet Elijah once prayed and observed a cloud the “size of a mans 
      hand” on the horizon of Israel. So also can we now perceive a new cloud to 
      bring the “reign” of Heaven on our spiritual horizon. The prophetic 
      prayers offered to the Lord for the release of governmental leadership 
      will now be answered in a more pronounced way. 

      The Baptism of Fire 

      There will now come into view men and women burning with the flame of 
      Heaven ignited in their souls who embody radical passion and extravagant 
      devotion. These will know the reality of the prophetic proclamation spoken 
      over the Lord Jesus by the prophet John the Baptist. Those who follow Him 
      and experientially apprehend the baptism of fire will carry a notable 
      deposit of heavenly virtue. 

      As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming 
      after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He 
      will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in 
      His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will 
      gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with 
      unquenchable fire. (Matthew 3:11 12) 

      There will be significant spiritual activity that will surround this 
      emerging leadership who have been endowed with the support of Heaven. 
      Angels will ascend and descend upon the purposes of God committed to this 
      loyal group. This leadership will carry the authority to release this 
      heavenly host as the Church learns to more adequately work in cooperation 
      with the plan of Heaven at this crucial moment of human history. 

      The anointed leadership now being commissioned has, through the grace of 
      God, captured the attention of Heaven and has been furnished the authority 
      to release the Heavenly host to work in consolidation with us on the earth 
      to establish Heavenly parameters. 

      Faith— Trust— Rest 

      There are dimensions of faith that are being expanded in this new season 
      to go beyond common faith into “sacred trust.” Now, we are also 
      discovering there is a place that extends beyond trust venturing into 
      “divine rest.” 

      Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, 
      any one of you may seem to have come short of it. For indeed we have had 
      good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did 
      not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who 
      heard...Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who 
      formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of 
      disobedience (Hebrews 4:1, 6) 

      The Lord desires for us to enter a place of rest that transcends our 
      present measure of faith and trust. When we discover our rest in Him...He 
      will find His rest in us. Faith is the "deed of trust" signed over to us 
      as our inheritance to occupy the land of promise purchased by our elder 
      brother. In that habitation of promise we will apprehend His rest. In this 
      place we will experience the faith of the Son of God that identifies the 
      substance of things that are hoped for and imparts evidence of the unseen. 


      There remains a promise to enter His rest and it is being offered this day 
      in a profound and significant way. When the word of truth is mingled with 
      faith it begins to produce the life of Christ in us that will establish us 
      in trust before the Lord leading to His rest and the greater works of John 
      14:12. 

      The three Hebrew sons thrust into the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar 
      trusted that their faith in God would save them even if their physical 
      bodies perished in flames. However their trust awakened the affection of 
      God who would not allow them to face this encounter alone and entered the 
      trial with them and allowed them to discover their rest in Him. Not even 
      the smell of smoke was allowed to touch these devoted men. They discovered 
      the rest of God. 

      This is an essential element in God that we must ascertain in its fullness 
      in order to overcome the fear and terror that will permeate this 
      generation. We are living in a time of extremes. There will be extreme 
      fear and intimidation imparted to the hearts of people who are not 
      grounded in Christ. Conversely, there will be extravagant faith, trust and 
      rest delegated to those fully submitted to the Lord and His perfect plan. 
      Grace is being released for us to comprehend and apprehend this dimension 
      of the faith realm as we articulate this desire to the Father through 
      prayer, praise and prophetic proclamations. 

      Escalation Among the Young 

      There will be a marked increase in the grace and anointing upon youth 
      groups and the equipping centers devoted to this segment of the Church. 
      There is a divine grace coming to help escalate spiritual maturity in the 
      development of their character and the utilization of spiritual gifts. 
      Some will actually be launched into ministry at ages ranging from 21 to 
      25. The Lord will provide mature and seasoned overseers to help cover and 
      protect these ministries allowing time for growth and experience. 

      It will be a consolidation of the generational mandates being inaugurated 
      in this hour to facilitate a multi-generational--- multi-cultural unity. 
      This day will see a merger of the young and old, rich and poor and a 
      cross-pollination of race, color and ethnic groups. The true definition of 
      the one new man will begin to come more clearly into focus. 

      The youth movement that has been prophesied and is presently emerging will 
      not tolerate religious zeal or traditions of man. Their heart will only be 
      captured by Godly passion and the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ living 
      and abiding in His people doing through them the works of the Kingdom. 
      That will likewise be the banner and spiritual standard of all utilized in 
      this expression of Heavenly reality. 

      The Color for This Year— White 

      The color for this year is white...specifically, white light. There will 
      emerge from the throne of Heaven great deposits of Heavenly light into the 
      spirit and soul of the Church to ignite us on the course of destiny and 
      high purposes. 

      Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he 
      who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of 
      life. (John 8:12) 

      There are many applications to white and even more as it relates to light. 
      Some pertain to the purity, consecration and holiness that is to 
      characterize God's people. Light dispels the darkness of our soul as He 
      lights the candle of our innermost being. 

      Furthermore, it can relate to the priestly garments and our call to 
      minister to Him in the beauty of holiness. Likewise, the white flag of 
      surrender typifies the total yielding of our spirit, soul and body to the 
      will of the Father. 

      One thing we know with certainty about light is that it travels fast and 
      straight. There are three basic ways to manage "light." 

      1. Block it with some object thus creating a shadow. 
      2. Reflect it and change its path through the reflection. 
      3. Bend it by making it pass into another material of different density 
      like water. 

      We can block the light of God with our unbelief or reflect the great light 
      to a lost and dying world. We can also allow the light to rest in us as it 
      comes vertically from Heaven to be expressed through us horizontally to a 
      dark world. 

      The white light of God shines from Heaven into us. However, it emerges 
      from us in the seven expressions of the Spirit as represented by the 
      rainbow and the sevenfold Spirit of God. Our hearts are to be like 
      diamonds that reflect this great light and the various manifestations of 
      His spirit providing the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirits of Wisdom and 
      Revelation, the Spirits of Counsel and Might, the Spirits of Knowledge and 
      Reverential Fear. 

      Empty Parking Lots 

      In the next aspect of the visions given to Bob, he saw parking lots 
      adjacent to establishments devoted to worldly entertainment. Uniquely, the 
      most striking characteristics of the parking lots were the fact that they 
      were empty. Much of the focus and attention of America has centered on the 
      entertainment industry. This vision is pointing to a day in which a marked 
      contrast will occur in the interest of this nation toward sporting events, 
      theatrical productions and other forms utilized to pacify the souls of 
      man. 

      Many will turn to God and the outpouring of His Spirit or fear and torment 
      will nullify the pleasure these things formerly provided. Clearly, there 
      is a place to relax and enjoy the things we have been provided but that is 
      secondary to the walk we have with God. 

      The Lord is inviting us to share with Him in a spiritual feast and make 
      Him the object of our great affection, not some other form of obsession. 

      A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many; and at the dinner hour 
      he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, "Come; for 
      everything is ready now.' But they all alike began to make excuses. The 
      first one said to him, "I have bought a piece of land and I need to go out 
      and look at it; please consider me excused. Another one said, "I have 
      bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; please consider 
      me excused. Another one said, "I have married a wife, and for that reason 
      I cannot come.' (Luke 14:16 20) 

      When 9/11 occurred there was a shifting of the interest in people from 
      day-to-day entertainment towards spiritual matters and the seriousness of 
      the world events. Something of that caliber is on the horizon though not 
      necessarily that disastrous in nature. This form of entertainment is not 
      speaking of hideous or perverse adult entertainment and corruption but 
      things that are not evil by nature. These could be characterized more as 
      distractions that will be dismissed as the times become more and more 
      serious. 

      Furthermore, the empty parking lots seemed to also indicate industries and 
      factories that have been relocated or completely shut down because of 
      business failure or lower labor costs elsewhere. Prayer needs to be 
      offered for our economy and the important jobs needed by our laborers. 
      When stress is placed upon our finances these pleasures oftentimes loss 
      their allure. These things cannot be allowed to usurp our relationship 
      with the Lord or they will be removed. 

      The day is upon us in which a person will be given the choice of attending 
      a ballgame or a Christian service and the choice will be made to attend 
      the service to see what God is doing. There will be something of a testing 
      occurring to determine the heart of this nation related to her choices in 
      this arena. 

      Amplified Lust 

      Unfortunately, the visions continued to illustrate acceleration in the 
      lust of this world for those who are separated from Christ and the destiny 
      of Heaven. These would include the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes 
      and the pride of life. The enemy will fuel the passions of the world for 
      "girls, gold and glory." Naturally these three “g's” are a symbolic 
      representation of the snares of the adversary utilized to entrap man by 
      the spirit of this world. 

      Wickedness will be elevated to a much higher level than even now present. 
      This is the inverted seven that was seen in the previous vision involving 
      the escalation of darkness. The distribution, availability and 
      communication of corruption will only grow worse, if that is imaginable. 
      Our commission is to bring divine light to help lead the many from this 
      overwhelming darkness. 

      24 Hour Prayer & Praise 

      At 2 AM Bob saw a 24-hour praise service that was highly anointed and 
      visited by the host of Heaven. These praise services were not established 
      as 24/7 meetings but specifically designated for certain seasons of 
      heightened prayer and warfare. Some may extend from 1 to 3 days nonstop 24 
      hours per day. There will be a number of leaders commissioned to 
      orchestrate this form of prayer, praise and prophetic gathering. 

      Tremendous gains will be achieved in the Spirit when this type of 
      assembling takes place. It will be utilized by the Lord to break the 
      shackles and devices of the adversary set against the Church and this 
      nation. Some will be specifically devoted to Israel while others may have 
      as an emphasis the political leadership of this nation and the vital 
      decisions being made by our governmental leaders. Still others will have 
      as a focus the release of the Holy Spirit and the visitation of Heaven to 
      our nation. Another major calling for the prayer movements will be 
      directed at overcoming the efforts of the adversary to unleash greater 
      dimensions of terrorism in our nation and in Israel. 

      The specific theme along with the spiritual authority to see it 
      accomplished, will be delegated to those commissioned with this purpose 
      and endowed with the support of Heaven to see its fulfillment. Some may 
      take place in buildings while others may be organized in tents and open 
      air gatherings that will draw spiritual warriors from broad regions. 

      Finding Him 

      There is a scriptural directive given by the Lord stating that those who 
      seek Him will find Him. There is a present emphasis on this spiritual 
      invitation. 

      Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to 
      you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your 
      heart. (Jeremiah 29:12 13) 

      The Father is seeking those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. 
      We think that we are seeking Him but in reality He is pursuing us. Thank 
      the Lord for that! 

      Last year during the Shepherd’s Rod we emphasized the truth that wise men 
      continually seek Him. That reality was once again highlighted in the 
      Lord's continuing pursuit of His Bride. 

      These 24-hour gatherings that will extend for a day to several days will 
      represent our knocking upon Heaven's door and He is promising to answer. 
      He will visit the desperation of His people who unite with the one purpose 
      of touching His heart with passion and desire. 

      The wisdom expressed through a seeking heart will function as a key that 
      unlocks the resources of Heaven and grants access to the power, glory and 
      authority of God. These are essential in our quest to know Him and do 
      exploits to His glory. 

      A New Day 

      At 3:21 AM an affirming word came that reiterated our entering a fresh 
      dimension of the Lord’s Heavenly plan. This is something we have been 
      sharing for the last several months and is now being re-emphasized. This 
      present hour is marking the dawning of a new day both for those in Christ 
      and those outside of Him. This is a new day of light and a new day in the 
      realms of darkness. 

      For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; in the 
      secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. 
      And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will 
      offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will 
      sing praises to the LORD. (Psalm 27:5 6) 

      There will be times and seasons to hide ourselves in Christ and other 
      times to be aggressive and militant in our posture. The seasons that we 
      isolate ourselves with Christ is not for dormancy but to wait upon Him and 
      minister to Him to gain His insight and blueprint for victory. 

      O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory 
      dwells. Do not take my soul away {along} with sinners, nor my life with 
      men of bloodshed, In whose hands is a wicked scheme, and whose right hand 
      is full of bribes. (Psalm 26:8 10) 

      When we wait upon the Lord we will mount up with a revelatory anointing 
      expressed through the attributes of the eagle that grants further 
      understanding into His scheme for triumph. Once achieved, we can rally the 
      troops behind that directive in much the same way that David became the 
      victorious king in his battles with the enemies of Israel. 

      Breakthroughs in Science 

      There will be new and fresh breakthroughs in scientific technology that 
      will be both beneficial and detrimental. Some of these breakthroughs when 
      entrusted to faithful stewards will facilitate the purposes of Heaven. 
      Unfortunately, those stolen by the adversary or squandered by those who do 
      not stewards it properly, will likewise be employed to promote deeper 
      realms of darkness and corruption. 

      There will be some individuals who are entrusted with great endowments 
      from Heaven who will fall in the error of Balaam and embrace the wages of 
      unrighteousness. However, this present hour will also see the emergence of 
      loyal and trustworthy stewards who have a heart for the Kingdom of Heaven 
      and appropriate the gifts and anointing for advancement. 

      Our prayer should be for the impartation of a faithful heart so that we 
      can catapult the Church into greater expressions of His glory. The release 
      of this kind of anointing and technology will be determined by our 
      willingness to be fashioned into His image. He loves us too much to give 
      us something now that he will be required to judge us for later because of 
      improper stewardship. 

      Creation and the knowledge of the universe are given by the Lord. However, 
      Satan defiles and corrupts all that he touches. He will likewise release 
      depraved understanding of science and technology to facilitate an evil 
      agenda involving biological weapons for terrorism, improper applications 
      of science and perversity in advanced communication media. 

      A Time of Release 

      At 6 AM, Bob was given a further revelation from Psalms 37:6; He will 
      bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the 
      noonday. 

      This was an additional insight involving the white light of Heaven being 
      disbursed in this hour. Much insight will be delegated to the Church from 
      this strategic Psalm. Many pastors and teachers will find a special grace 
      upon the divine truth inherent in this passage. 

      Wisdom and understanding is the light of Heaven. During this revelation 
      Bob saw a white flag of surrender being hoisted by the church. 
      Fortunately, this was not surrender to our adversary in the battle but 
      submission to the purpose and desire of Heaven in the hearts of 
      Christians. The time has now arrived for a consecrated body of believers 
      to inherit the promises long foreseen and expressed through the prophets 
      of old. 

      This past Rosh Hashanah saw the birthing of Heavenly mandates that are now 
      given life and substance. Though presently immature, a quick work will 
      establish these Heavenly purposes deposited throughout the Western Church 
      and the nations of the earth. Many individuals and fellowships have been 
      pregnant with the promise of God for quite some time and this past season 
      saw a first-fruits birthing. 

      Another birthing will be taking place around the season of Pentecost 2004. 
      As an affirmation of this spiritual reality both Wanda and I have been 
      given dreams in recent days focusing on the birth of a spiritual child 
      with prophetic significance. This was also validated in the natural with 
      the birth of children in this season, one of which we know of that was 
      named Destiny. 

      On the morning of Atonement, I was given a dream that I believe relates to 
      this aspect of Bob's revelation concerning the birthing. This was one of 
      the more unique expressions coming from God that I have seen and I will 
      try as best as possible to articulate what I saw. 

      In this spiritual dream, I saw a "thought" emerging from the heart of God 
      and given birth. At first the "thought" had the appearance of an immature 
      embryo but quickly took on shape and form including legs and arms. 

      The Bible tells us that He has thoughts and plans for us related to our 
      welfare and not our calamity. In 1 Corinthians 2 we are likewise 
      instructed that the Holy Spirit searches the depths of God and gives 
      expression to the thoughts and ways resident in Him by the Spirit of 
      Revelation. It is called the mind of Christ. 

      From the mind of Christ thoughts are expressed concerning His strategy for 
      this generation and the deposit of the Spirit to accomplish His Heavenly 
      design and unfold the mysteries of the Kingdom. These plans cannot be 
      accessed through the natural wisdom and reasoning of man. They are only 
      revealed by the Holy Spirit to His people. I inherently knew that the 
      image I was seeing involved something new and fresh that was being birthed 
      from the heart of God. 

      The appearance of this spiritual expression was fashioned by and 
      surrounded in white light. I knew then that the predominant color for this 
      year would be white which was later verified through the revelations given 
      to Bob. The white light of Heaven will shine as a flag of surrender over 
      the Church welcoming the fullness of the Holy Spirit to cause us to arise 
      and shine with that same light. 

      Very often individuals and fellowships are on a quest for a "word" from 
      the Lord. A word is a thought that has been given expression. Something 
      new and fresh is being articulated from the "thoughts" of God that will 
      consolidate spiritual thoughts with spiritual language. 


      Harvesting Things Sown 

      The Church in the United States will begin to reap that which has been 
      sown. Seed of light that have been sown in faithfulness and humility will 
      reap a bountiful harvest of visitations, miracles, signs and wonders 
      leading to a harvest of souls. Seed of selfishness, ambition and jealously 
      will come under discipline if not dealt with through repentance. 

      LORD, I have heard the report about you and I fear. O LORD, revive your 
      work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known; 
      in wrath remember mercy. (Habakkuk 3:2) 

      “Lord, in Your judgments remember mercy”, should likewise be our prayer. 
      If we have sown mercy and grace we will likewise reap the same. 

      For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy 
      triumphs over judgment. (James 2:13) 

      In the continuing development of the prayer movements being initiated in 
      our nation, a fresh deposit of intercessory appeal and grace will come 
      forth as mediatory prayer on behalf of our nation for mercy. To be truly 
      effective in intercession, the burden must be birthed deep within the 
      heart of the people. That is part of the new life that was released around 
      Rosh Hashanah. Many intercessors will carry in their spiritual being the 
      cry for mercy and grace involving this nation. 

      There will be a marked escalation in the angelic activity surrounding the 
      Church. Furthermore, this activity will carry a militant characteristic as 
      Michael and the warring angels of Heaven are released to establish the 
      design of Heaven in the earth. As in the days of Israel, the giants of the 
      adversary are occupying the land of promise and must be displaced in order 
      to access our inheritance. 

      As articulated in Matthew 11:12, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence 
      and the violent take it by force. This is a spiritual reality that is 
      accomplished in the realm of the spirit through humble and contrite 
      vessels anointed with kingdom power and authority. Michael and the host of 
      Heaven under his jurisdiction with warring attributes are being released 
      and will be empowered by our revelatory prayer and prophetic declarations 
      on behalf of the Church and Israel. Our prayer is always to the Lord for 
      the desire of Heaven to be fulfilled. He then orchestrates through the 
      Holy Spirit the appropriation of the prayers of the Saint in the 
      delegation of His authority. 

      This will also be true in our stand for Israel. A combative spirit will be 
      unleashed by the intercessors burdened with the cause of Israel to release 
      angelic warriors to push back the adversary attempting to abort the plan 
      and destiny of this beloved nation. 

      Winds in the Mulberry Trees 

      In yet another of the revelatory expressions that came on Atonement, Bob 
      heard, "the winds will blow in the mulberry trees on behalf of the 
      righteous." This notable statement is pointing to a supernatural release 
      of Heavenly virtue on behalf of the saints of God. 

      And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the 
      mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the LORD will go 
      out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines. And David did so, as 
      the LORD commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far 
      as Gezer. (2 Samuel 5:24 25) 

      This spiritual application will be true on multiple levels. Miracles, 
      signs and wonders will now begin to accompany the Lord's people in a more 
      pronounced way along with a substantial increase in the healing anointing. 
      It will mark the beginning of a season of favor that will escalate over 
      the next three years for the righteous. When we hear the “new” sound of 
      marching in the mulberry trees, then we will know the Lord is with us for 
      advancement. 

      There seemed to be an emphasis on this promise relating to those who have 
      been prepared for this release and yielded themselves to the grooming and 
      preparatory process. Righteousness is derived through the grace of God 
      being released to yielded vessels wholly submitted to Him. Righteousness 
      and justice are the foundation of His throne. To experience the 
      governmental release related to the dominion associated with His Kingdom 
      design, we must also allow the Holy Spirit to equip us as "overcomers" 
      clothed in garments of righteousness. 

      Along with this divine promise came a warning stating, "What we have been 
      consuming with our eyes will determine what we become." If our eyes have 
      been fashioned on the Lord with the great objective of beholding Him with 
      an unveiled face, then we will likewise become more like Him. Conversely, 
      if our eyes have been distracted and enticed toward the issues of this 
      world, then our garments of righteousness become stained. The fruit of 
      this path produces lust, jealousy, greed and all manner of evil. This will 
      obviously hinder our ability to partake of the divine favor that is to be 
      released and symbolized through the prophetic picture of David. 

      There is a present call to repentance for allowing our eyes to waywardly 
      gaze upon corruption. There is judgment that is coming to the house of the 
      Lord according to the directive of 1 Peter 4:17. Let us be charged to take 
      advantage of the Lord's grace while it is available and allow the Holy 
      Spirit to catapult us into the winds of favor. 

      The Justice of Heaven 

      There is a release of divine justice that is taking place in this hour. 
      The justice of God renders blessing and favor upon the righteous and 
      judgment upon unrighteousness. The baptism of fire will be for the purpose 
      of making His ministers a flaming fire that is fanned and fueled by the 
      winds of Heaven. The Lord desires for this to be a season of expansion and 
      escalation. Many individuals will be set ablaze with passion and desire 
      for the Lord and the revelation of His kingdom. 

      The Bible declares that all things are open and lay bare before the eyes 
      of Him with whom we have to do. (See Hebrews 4:13) The light of God is 
      being released to search the depths of God's people, not for the sake of 
      rendering punishment but for the sake of sanctification in order that the 
      high purposes of Heaven can be accomplished. It is the Lord's desire to 
      bless His people and unleash substantial power and authority through them 
      to touch the nations of earth. To do that, we must be like Him. 

      What has been done in the darkness will be brought to the light through 
      this examination. It will be a baptism of fire to purify the vessels of 
      honor. Many have been in the furnace of affliction described prophetically 
      in Isaiah 48:10. Isaiah also gave the directive necessary to behold the 
      King in all of His beauty… 

      Sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling has seized the godless. "Who 
      among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with 
      continual burning?" He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, He 
      who rejects unjust gain and shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; 
      He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed and shuts his eyes from 
      looking upon evil; He will dwell on the heights, His refuge will be the 
      impregnable rock; His bread will be given him His water will be sure. Your 
      eyes will see the King in His beauty; they will behold a far distant land. 
      (Isaiah 33:14-17) 

      The current birthing that has taken place around the biblical feast of 
      Rosh Hashanah is the emergence of Heavenly justice. Justice will be a key 
      that unlocks the resources of Heaven in the latter days as all the 
      injustices of our generation and the prior generations are rectified. The 
      thief must restore and return all that has been stolen from the people of 
      God. That is the great benefit of the Lord coming as the just judge to 
      wage war and render justice. 

      Psalm 19 declares that the judgments of the Lord are to be desired more 
      than gold, even more so than honey from the honeycomb. This notable Psalm 
      also makes the eternal declaration that all of creation declares the 
      handiwork of God. This next season will continue to see an escalation in 
      earthquakes, unusual seismic activity, signs in the heavenlies and storms. 
      There will be unusual lightning storms with many of the wind storms 
      indicating and identifying the places of amplified angelic activity. 

      Awesome Awakening Among Charismatic Catholics 

      In this portion of the revelations, Bob was shown that a blessing of 
      Heaven imminently awaited those within the Catholic Church who have 
      embraced the fullness of the Spirit. Psalm 23 was given as a specific 
      outline to characterize this release. The Lord is going to represent 
      Himself as the good Shepherd who feeds His flocks and leads them to still 
      waters and green pastures. 

      This expression of favor is not limited to just those who are recognized 
      as "charismatics" from among the Catholic Church but also the various 
      fellowships who were birthed during this movement and are identified as 
      charismatic congregations.
