Jim Hodges word for the NW July 13, 2007
Oregon City
We mark this Friday, July 13, 2007, to say that out of this region there is coming not only a remnant, but also an army. An army shall arise, it shall come, and it shall emerge. It shall step forth and minister the purposes of the Kingdom of God that transcend any and every religious agenda. We thank you for Washington and Oregon and California and New Mexico and Nevada.
We give it to you—these regions—we want to pave the way and build a platform that you could stand on in the coming weeks, months and even the next few years, in the name of the Lord.
Even the weather changes that have come in these days are simply natural indicators of spiritual shifting and spiritual change. Even the winds are blowing—not just El Nino, but the winds of God are blowing. It is a wind from Asia coming to western America. It is not just with Asians who have come to do business, but it is an anointing that they are bringing that they received early on—even from us as the gospel went westward. Now the gospel has encircled the globe and is coming back again. This western area, known for prototypes and movements in our culture shall become known as a place where the move of the Holy Spirit has been released upon the nation, which will sweep eastward.
The Lord is saying get ready for the convergence and the merging of regions and ministries. For the Lord says, I have given the technologies for enhanced communication so that there will be nothing in the darkness. Everything will be brought to the light and exposed, therefore you will shout it from the housetops and you will announce that the Kingdom of God is at hand.
As you announce the Davidic government of the Lord that is coming, the Davidic dancers shall dance. Intercessors shall pray, those that preach shall preach, those who prophesy shall prophecy and you will find each other in your diversity, graphically and even doctrinally. And you will find each other and the Lord will build something that is uniquely His. And no man shall spoil it.
Therefore, you will always be able to test the spirit, to discern the spirit, to distinguish error from truth and the truth from error. And you will walk in the spirit of truth and in the truth of the Word.
For a people here who are hungry, the Lord says I will not be mocked, I will feed them. I will not be mocked, I will pour out upon them. I will not withhold from them. But because their cry has come up before me, the cries that have come up on the basis of my covenant with them, I find your cries irresistible.
Therefore I say, continue the cry. Even as a woman brings forth a man-child she cried out a cry of desperation concerning the birth of the man-child, but then the Lord says the cry changed from desperation to declaration.
Therefore, the Lord says, in this region I am ready to shift now. The desperate cry shall still come, but it will transition into declaration. Therefore you will get ready in these next 18 months to get your declarations defined, to get them published, to get them announced, prayed over and washed in the word. You will find the declarations begin to come to even amaze the atmosphere and the economy and even the governmental structures of this region. For the Lord says, I have spotted this place. It is like Rome of old. I came to a dark, pagan system and brought the light of my gospel, through my Son and it conquered even the Roman world of Europe.
The Lord says, even now, I am coming to this area of darkness, this area of apathy, this area of complacency—this area where the walls are up. Out of this darkness and desperation I am going to bring forth the kingdom of Light. I am going to bring forth my purpose. I am going to bring forth my people. Therefore the seeds you have sown are growing.
You are not to entertain the thought that your God is not answering you. For the Lord is answering you, expanding you, enhancing you, because you were faithful to carry the seed. You will know this in the next 18months, for the very atmosphere is changing and shall increasingly and incrementally change, as you are faithful to pursue the mission I have laid before you.
Therefore rejoice, rejoice, and rejoice, the wine is being released again. But this time, it shall not be wasted. This time it shall not be wasted apostolically or prophetically. It will not be wasted in intercession. It shall be brought into the new wineskin. It shall be able to be carried from place to place. For my church is not in one place. It is like the wineskin on your shoulder where you take it and say “take a drink sir from the wineskin of the Holy Ghost. “ Rejoice even this night that the wine that you have been desiring so greatly is being poured out, says the Lord.
Know that even out of this wine flow will come new ministries and new anointing—and a quickening of those who once walked in anointing and no longer do. The Lord says, I have not forgotten them. These bones can live. I am bringing my wind. I am bringing my wine. Get ready for the release in this area.
