The Cascadia Awakening
Timothy J Sherman
I have seen a reoccurring vision for four years and the Lord consistently calls it, “The Cascadia Awakening”. I have seen a kaleidoscope of events with warnings of the catastrophic and the fulfilling of the glorious, and some are beginning. The Seattle Quake in 2002 was a warning to prepare for great shaking. On a map of the Northwest are cities on fire with Gods glory. Arrows of revival and Reformational fire are being shot by revival reaper angels. Targeted cities are ignited by fires of revival that are burning and spreading all over the Great Pacific Northwest. These cities are blazing on regions of the map. I see great crowds of people running to these regions, not from them. I have seen this chariot of fire with Elijah riding in it sweeping into the gatherings of people and circling them in a flaming whirlwind of white light as the chariot is going up and the Elijah mantle is coming down. This vision of the map is of Northern California, Washington, Idaho and Oregon. It is an Elijah Revolution. The increase of the Holy Spirit has begun. This awakening will be confirmed by the years end with wonders in the heavens above and signs in the earth beneath, blood and fire and vapor of smoke, all increasing over the next 14 years. It is time for the saints to see the 2020 vision. This Cascadia Awakening is stirring a new breed of worshipper’s with sensitivity to heavens desire. Worship is the ongoing catalysts and springboard for an end to legalized abortion. The earth is travailing like a woman in birth pangs. The Jezebels liberal agenda of perversion, control and antichrist mindsets are about to be shaken loose. The Lord is bringing a shaking with the waves and the seas roaring, the nations shall be shocked with the reports of overflowing and rushing waters. There are a passionate people in the “revival of romance”; those seized by the yearnings for love of God and the waves of revival and spiritual revolution are mounting of tsunamis proportions. They languish in sorrow and pain, crying, sighing and some dying; a spring harvest is upon us! There are holy saints contending for the unity of the faith who are embracing the new paradigm of “The Cascadia Movement”. This is a visitation that has and is being nurtured for a Holy Habitation. It is a “building revival” with reformation, not a flash in the pan but the patient mining of the mother load, a pure vain of the gold of Gods glory found in the living deity of His nature. It is with an apostolic and prophetic under girding of worshipful intercession. It’s through a new vanguard of humble servant leadership, seasoned ones, some young in age, trained from the womb. They are not interested in titles, fame, personal or greedy riches or selfish extravagant benefits leading to the snare of the devil and a falling away. This is a new breed of pastors, evangelist and teachers who are in the fire, and praising Him in it. They are desperate, desperate, and more desperate for Gods intervention and leading. They finally, patiently, endure in love! Now ready to lay down unholy controls and heiarchary church structures, their own kingdom building and personally ambitious agendas, their Isaacs are on the alter. I will shake the kingdom of religion and division displacing it with these listening ones. It will cost something, through suffering and tears not just a talking but a holy and resolved attitude of youthful zeal, “Just Do It” is the youthful attitude This is decreed by “The Watchers” in the Northwest region effecting nations of the earth. He is now being revealed in a unifying of ministries. They’re seeking together to bring heavenly encounters. Regional churches will displace local churches swallowing them up in His glory and power to affect their regions. The lifestyle of yielding to this cleansing and purifying fire is in His kingdom seekers. It is coming in the unity of the glory found in the prayer of Jesus in John 17.
- The beautiful and majestic natural geographical environment of the Northwest speaks a spiritual significance and the greatness of the plans of our God for this region of America.
- The four State Area: Northern California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho have the four faces of God; California the Ox, Washington the Lion, Oregon the Eagle and Idaho the Man.
- The Columbia River is the water gateway to the inland Northwest from the Pacific Ocean. Columbia means “The Dove”. Rivers of living water flow out of the midst of the Cascade Mountains through the “Dove” and The Snake River in Idaho. The Snake is the food of the Eagle.
- The Snake River winds through Idaho and is swallowed up by “The Dove”, or Columbia River. The Columbia River is the center border for much of Washington and Oregon’s adjoining boundaries. These two states are joined by the waters of the Columbia and will be unified by the Holy Spirit, The Dove and are like twin states. This entire four state area was part of and once called the Oregon Territory. Oregon means*********
- There are six major regions that have been prophetically designated by the Lord for visitation in the NW , they are as follows:
- Albany Or up to Portland/Vancouver Wa. .
- Seattle/Tacoma into Vancouver B.C.
- The Columbia Basin of Moses Lake, Tri-Cities of Pasco, Kennewick, Richland to the Yakama Valley.
- Spokane Wa. /Coeur d'Alene Id.
- Eugene/Springfield
- Redding Ca.
The Cascade Mountains stretching from Lassen Peak and Mt. Shasta in Northern California up into British Columbia are a volcanic range and in the Ring of Fire. There are fifteen major peaks or areas of the Cascades that are in their origins volcanic and very active. These mountains are all connected underneath the earth by a volcanic rivers and reservoirs that are released as a lava flow. The rivers and reservoirs of fire and molten rock called magma flow under these volcanoes and connect them. They are along incredibly long and large earthquake faults for they set on the continental plate called the Cascadia Fault. The Cascades receive a very thick snow fall and snow pack yearly and have several glaciers in this volcanic mountain region. The bible speaks of the treasury of the snow, Job 38:22 and Isaiah 55:10-12 says the word of the Lord is as rain and snow that comes down from heaven. The rain fall levels are higher in western Oregon and Washington then most anywhere in the Continental U.S. The Cascade Mountains melt off feeds the Colombia and Snake Rivers which will see a wall of water at flood stage due to mans errors at the flood gates of the Dam and when there is great shaking at the fault lines. This flood wall of water coming through the Columbia Gorge is decreed by a high spirit to strike areas of population along the Columbia River and especially the Portland/Vancouver region. Its deadly devastations will be lessened or even prevented through unified and corporate efforts in prayer and worship, which will blow the trumpet in Zion and Gather the People together, sanctifying the solemn assemblies. This must come through my leaders and the humble army who will unify and fight on their knees with hands raised in absolute surrender and total abandonment to the worship and prayer for the God given promise of the John 17 prayer of Jesus. Father, release the glory of Christ within us so that we may be one. The spring melt of “the secret of the snow” provides life for natural resources of all the Columbia Basin in central Washington and the orchards and vineyards of Washington and Oregon. In a spiritual allegory, life in the spirit through worshipful prayer is found in these rivers. Portland is an inland port visited by cargo ships, tankers, naval ships, and others. Portland is a portal as a gateway to the entire Northwest. Barges transport goods up and down the Columbia River Basin; there are wine vineyards and orchards, wheat, barley and corn and all manner of vegetables and produce grown in mass in the Columbia basin and all over the these regions are supplied. All of this in the natural is with spiritual significance of the fruit and bounty of the move of the Spirit of God being released. This part of America is ripe for such a spiritual harvest of souls and such an explosion of revival from the flows of the water of the spirit and word. The Great Pacific Northwest is poised for a Jesus Revolution, even creation is declaring it. Per capita it is the least populated area in the United States concerning believers, churches and Para-church organizations. The grass roots, organized and unorganized, worship and intercessory prayer movement, the Lord has created here, is the strongest and largest I have seen, in my travels of our great nation.
The saints will arise and I will fit them together, declares the sovereign Lord. Because of this, a building revival for reformation cannot tarry any longer the door will now be blown open soon and very soon. It has begun in this season we are now in and my foolish ones see it. No more delays, no more delays, say the Spirit of Grace! The trumpet is being blown to gather my people together from the four corners (States) of this region. It has already started in the hearts of those who hear and see in the Spirit! Politically, it’s been liberal and its agendas have had regional strongholds in densely populated areas, but the Lord says this is about to change for I will remove the politics that divide in the church. It’s by a new moral standard even at the educational levels. I will bring revival into the universities and the colleges through my holiness and the fear of the Lord in the spring of the year. It will come in a divine visitation through my new music that touches the intellectual and emotional. Arguments will rage as my sword divides and persecution will cost lives. It will come with Godly sorrow unto repentance; it will be a deep work of cleansing on the collage campuses starting small but spreading fast as demonstrations because of this new war. The Lord will rip the scales from their eyes suddenly with weeping and wailing with great joy following deep repentance. A radical zeal for good works and extreme holiness will shock many. The northwestern mindsets of the fiercely independent will be used in this revolution that will close campuses. Even though they are not conducive to the united gathering of spiritual leaders of the region, I will use them. Leaders wait for a strategic trumpet to be blown with a clear sound. I am setting the trumpet to my mouth in the so called rebellious youth, declares the Lord of Changes, handcuffs, iron bars and steal doors will not silence them. Where sin abounds grace does much more abound for they speak my heart. The Spirit of Grace will change these mind sets even though the mighty fall. It will come through a response to the voice of the foolish prophets and in the great shaking that will shake from the Portland region into Canada. It is causing my leaders to unify as they feel the ground shake and hear the trumpet blown. It will rally my leaders through tears and my people for battle in the war of zeal. The Lord will establish some new voices in the entire region for the power and order of My Kingdom of love. It is now blowing in by the winds of change and it will be declared and confirmed with prophetic healings, signs and wonders working through my Holy Ones who will work the miraculous in the midst of crisis. The saints will arise to harvest the bounty of souls and the resources of natural wealth of the region and nations for my Kingdom purposes. The Josephs will arise in this land. The Spirit has spoken through a few unknown and notable voices and the prophets are declaring the word across the globe but few hear now. This will change, for many will finally seek for the hearing of the word. It will affect the world and it will especially shake and spread to the Asian ring of fire. It will be the same outpouring of my Glory declares the Spirit of Grace. Who will hear and prepare says the Lord of Changes?
