My take:

1. I am being commissioned by the LORD.

2. There is a mantle being passed from the father generation of the prophets to me.

3. Both sides of prophetic generations are present (Jon vs. Rich).

4. God will provide.

5. Laura represents covenant. She was declaring the word of the LORD. God’s word is covenantal over me.

Get ready for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Minnesota. What God is going to do there is far superior than we have expectation for.

My son and I just returned from a ministry trip in Minnesota where our spirits were awakened to the depths and intensity of God’s love for this region in the United States. April 9^th of this year I was given a dream in which the Lord took me on His plane to Duluth, MN. Although we are on the tarmac of the airport, hundreds of school buses begin lining up behind the Lord’s plane. They were extraordinarily large wide buses and each one appeared to be different. None of them were yellow; in fact they were all different colors and designs. They were all “blue bird” buses each filled to capacity and their cargo hatch was full of baggage.

Then the Lord spoke to me saying, “Wells of salvation are being opened in the United States. Duluth is an unlikely place because of its cold weather yet the hungry and brave shall endure the testing and come to the wells of refreshing. There are others opening around the nation but I’ve chosen this one first as a historic site. You see not many come here nor do they stay but you’ll see an influx due to the Spirit of God moving there. It’s unlikely, that’s why I’ve chosen it.”

I believe the buses represent the move of the Holy Spirit bringing people to the wells of salvation as refreshing springs forth. These wells have been stopped up for a long time but now its time to unearth them then great deliverance will take place. These people had so much baggage I don’t know how these buses were able to transport them. But God is going to totally deliver every one and set them free. A complete salvation; healed and delivered and set on the path of righteousness filled with the Holy Spirit and fire.

The “Blue Bird” speaks to me of two things; release and harmony. The wind of the Holy Spirit is releasing inspired singers and musicians. There’s a new sound from heaven being released and these artists will receive a fresh infilling and therefor release it to the body. And there will be a harmony between heaven and earth like we’ve not experienced before. And these are not well known names, these are ones God has anointed and ordained for such a time as this. He’s placing His finger on them to anoint His work through them then fire shall flow from His throne. Lightning and thunder shall roar and those in bondage shall be set free. And this nation shall be shaken to the core as the Spirit of God reigns on high.

The Lord also showed me inspired teachers with revelation gifts would set the stage for this move of the Holy Spirit that’s about to take place in Duluth and the surrounding region. I believe things are going to heat up in that bone-chilling community. I believe the many different colored buses represent people from many tongues, tribes, nations and all walks of life. They are coming into alignment with the Lord and will know Him by His Spirit.

So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6 NKJV)

After Lyn and I finished our first night of ministry in Lindstrom, a woman shared with us about a prophecy she thought was from the 1950’s regarding the St. Croix River. It is listed below.

In 1948 two prophetic words were given by two different individuals who did not know or had even heard of each other. The first was given in Spooner; WI by a missionary from an independent missions group and six months later the second was given in Luck, WI by an Assemblies of God missionary. One couple that heard both prophecies said that they were almost word for word as they were given. The prophecies basically stated that just before Jesus comes a revival would start at the head of the St. Croix River and continue southward down the entire river. They stated that the effect of this revival would reach out 100 miles on each side of the river and continue until Jesus comes. They also stated in its path several of the cities would be won entirely over to the Lord (every person in that city saved). Along with the salvation of thousands would also be the miraculous in the areas of finances, healing, and deliverances of all kinds and a return of entire areas to a Biblical living, once again, right up to Jesus’ coming in the rapture.

It’s amazing these two missionaries prophesied the same word about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit beginning at the mouth of the Mississippi River. That of course is Duluth, MN, which is also where I-35 begins. And 35 represent the Highway of Holiness in Isaiah 35. This highway runs from Duluth, MN to Laredo, TX at the Mexican border.

 

Interestingly enough in the 2014 Shepherd’s Rod that was the last one Bob wrote, he shared about the second birthing of the Holy Spirit and fire. Below is an excerpt of that prophecy that should stir your heart toward this great awakening about to take place in America.

Bob was handed a huge white egg and as it was placed in his hand it began to hatch open. As he drew closer to examine the egg, he saw that it had fire inside and it was like a birthing of fire.

This egg represents a new birthing and new life because it represents the second birthing of the baptism of fire. This baptism will be far greater than Pentecost and more powerful than Azusa Street of recent times. I believe we’re all getting ready to be birthed a second time in fire. This was the timing and we will see the fire of God this year. (Hebrews 6:5)

John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. (Luke 3:16)

It’s the same kind of fire as the burning bush that was not consumed. I believe that now is a time of commissioning like when Moses received his instructions. When this egg opens, the wisdom that will be given is that of the Father’s will because it will reveal the Father’s heart to us. Then our only testing will be obedience to that which the Father puts in our conscience.

This baptism of fire means that plagues and viruses cannot cling to it. No demonic control can survive around it and the enemy cannot trouble you. The baptism of fire will bring in holiness and holiness is one of the main words this year. God is a holy God and when we are consumed by this baptism of fire, anything unholy that comes into our presence will not be able to stand. The power of this consuming fire will cause demons to flee and sickness, disease, infirmities and plagues to die instantly. There will be no question that the power of God is resident in His people. (End of excerpt)

 

Here’s another interesting fact. Just last month (April 26) an oil refinery in Superior, WI exploded. Superior, WI and Duluth, MN are neighboring cities on Lake Superior. The day prior I had an encounter with the “Awakening Train” (check artwork by James Nesbit). Of course at that time I did not know about this train. But in the encounter this great and wonderfully fearful train poured out oil from its brilliant light. At the time I was called by name and told to stretch forth my hands. This wonderful oil was released to my hands and then this incredible light seared my forehead, like a welder’s bead. I believe these two are connected. The oil of the Holy Spirit that’s going to be released in this great awakening is going to be far superior than in past moves just like Bob prophesied in the 2014 Shepherd’s Rod.

And June 18, 2014 when Chuck Pierce saw the painting of this train he prophesied: My kingdom is going to advance with violence – that word is linked with sound. It’s going to advance with violence in a way that can’t be stopped.

The first prophetic word God ever gave me was, “There is a train coming down from heaven that will bring awakening, and this train cannot be stopped!” I have had that word… in a notebook since 1976. When you came up with that picture, I said, “I am going to connect into it!”

Do you realize how many years that it has been before I could see that word come into picture form? I carried that word, I talked about that word, I’ve taught that word before, then I just sort of left that word, but I didn’t see that word until you drew that word. Then all of a sudden God said, “What has been postponed is now!”

Once you give your life over to the glory, all you are doing is looking for a manifestation of everything you hear. You have to look for the sound that you are hearing. You have to look for the sound; you have to look for a manifestation of what God is speaking.

That’s what the portal looks like right now, it’s not a portal just where angels are ascending and descending. It is a portal where this train of awakening is coming in! It’s filled with glory, it’s fast, it’s accelerating. Its sound is very sleek; it’s got an ability to go through very narrow places. Narrow places do not stop this train! It just goes through, because it is a well-oiled train.

I believe God is calling all things into order as He draws us nearer to Him. America has gone through a long spiritual drought. Oh yes we have seen many wonderful healings, miracles and increased salvation but not on a consistent basis. Many Christians have embraced the Holy Spirit gifts and even move in His power yet not consistently. America is on the brink of a great awakening and the power of the Holy Spirit being poured out in a greater measure than Azusa Street. This is not revival. It’s an awakening to the Spirit of God within the body of Christ.

I believe what God is going to initiate in Duluth, MN will catapult the great awakening America has long awaited. People will be saved, healed, delivered and filled with the Holy Spirit and fire. There will be no question that this is God and no man can take credit for it. God is bringing fulfillment to old prophecies in a fullness of time moment. This can’t be manufactured because the Spirit of God won’t allow it. The holiness of God will reign as we begin to witness Bethesda Cities raise up all along I-35. Watch as Mormons, atheist, Catholics, Protestants and Muslim’s as well as gay and straights come to these wells of salvation and baptism of the Holy Spirit. Witness aids patients healed and prosthetic limbs tossed into the river because there will be no need of them. Get ready to encounter the greatest move of God America has ever known.

Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. (John 5:2-4 NKJV)
