Cascade Consultation

Dear Friends,

I want to give you the " heads up " on a meeting coming up Saturday, June 4th. The organization I am currently affiliated with is called International Fellowship of Ministries headed by Joe McIntyre. He and I have worked together on a number of occasions, mostly I have led worship during annual conferences... the most recent last October with Bill Johnson from Bethel Church in Redding CA.

I have also worked with Burdell Austin, the Washington State coordinator for a prayer network headed by Peter Wagner (Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets are also affiliated). We have been talking for many weeks regarding the redemptive prophetic gifts of Oregon and Washington (both have distinctive yet uniform qualities) and how leaders must coordinate and communicate with each other.

Burdell is gathering together Intercessors from throughout Washington and the Northwest for a meeting she is calling a Cascade Consultation. Because we've had some contact in working together, would you pray about joining us?

We will present our pieces of the puzzle and listen together regarding what the Lord is doing in our region, in our relationships, and in His strategy for the future.

I am sure you will meet wonderful and humble servants passionate about God's design and promise for the Northwest. I know this will be one of many such gatherings, and it would be wonderful if you could join us.

If you are interested in attending this event, please RSVP to Burdell (her email invitation follows), but please let me know as well.

Bless you,

Darrell

Greetings and many blessings to all of you,

The U.S. Strategic Prayer Network in Washington State www.globalharvestministries.org and Pacific Ministries www.pacificministriesblogspot.com/ in Oregon would like to invite each of you and your spouses to a Cascadia Consolation on June 4, 2005 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Pastor Joe McIntyre, USSPN WA Apostolic Coordinator, Burdell Austin, USSPN WA Mobilizing Coordinator, and Darrell Dahlman, Pacific Ministries President are hosting this discussion and prayer gathering at Word of His Grace in Bothell.

As you can see, Washington is pregnant with a fresh revelation of Christ Jesus and Oregon is pregnant with the mantle to overthrow the spirit of Jezebel. I know that British Columbia has been in travail over the sins of the land and very near birthing an unprecedented move of God, but I do not know the current prophetic words spoken over the Province. Fathering is a key word. God is speaking Life to us and the kingdom of darkness is vehemently opposing this. Our adversary would like to abort or cause miscarriage to keep these things from coming forth. Or he would like to drain out the life of these things once they begin to function and flourish.

I believe one possible way that this can be accomplished is through an earthquake/tsunami disaster beyond the time and degree that the Lord would measure in His work of judgment upon His adversaries and shaking the Church out of it's complacently. The door that allows the spirit of death to operate in our territory is still open, but many have been bringing it toward closure with repentance and intercession. Washington state was the first state to legislate a degree of abortion by demand and Oregon is the only state with a Physistian Assisted Suicide Law legislated by the people in the United States. These laws that embrace death have SELF WORSHIP at the roots. I have attached an interesting article entitled Jezebel's Affliction by Kriston Couchey.

Todd Bentley's "The Set Time" regarding warning of earthquake as God's judgment upon His adversaries and my article "Clarion Call to Avert West Coast Disaster" posted on www.ElijahList.com are not in conflict by cause us to seek the Lord for the wisdom of His ways and the ability to stand against the wiles of the devil. I believe Jezebel wants to "seal the vineyard" once again.

There is a need for corporate discussion to raise up a corporate strategy and anointing that is from God and not man. Darrell Dahlman has been seeking the Lord regarding the words released in Oregon and has been hearing from Him and has posted reports of the latest direction from the Lord on prayoregon@blogspot.com Complete transcripts of Dec. 2003 meetings are also posted there.

Darrell will be sharing with us on June 4 as well as Joe McIntyre who has extensive history and insight regarding the territorial spirit of Jezebel.

The bases of discussions will be on prophetic words regarding the Northwest (Oregon)Territory or Cascadia, especially focused on the following key words given by Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets in December 2003 while on 50 State Tour in WA and OR: Pregnant with fresh revelation of Christ Jesus AND mantle to overthrow Jezebel.

Chuck Pierce began on the evening of Dec. 14 at Sonrise Chapel in Everett after the sound of many shofars were released with this sentence:

"I would say to you there is a great harvest in the midst of this State, and I am about to put an urgency and a passion in my people."

About 3/4 of the way through Chuck's talk he says, "One of the reasons that the West Coast is important, at the beginning of the year (2003), the Lord said, 'I start blowing My revival wind from the west' He said, "so this year, you prepare the way for the wind, and then next year the wind will blow.' I knew at that point the Lord was saying all the way up California, and then I saw something, from N. California, through Oregon, up through Washington, all the way into Vancouver, B.C. I've never shared this before. I saw something, it was like....you couldn't see what was under you. It was like you had one level of foundation, but your foundation wasn't deep enough. And especially from N. California on. And the Lord said, 'There's a new wave coming.' And I said, Lord, what's the wave? And He said, "It will be both a wave of evil, that will try to effect that region, but it's also a wave of my Spirit.' and He said, 'They've not built the foundation in that area to handle the wave.' And then I woke up and I actually saw a wave. I saw water hitting, and you weren't capable of dealing with the wave of the Spirit that God was going to bring in days ahead. So the Lord said, 'You declare that the wind, that will produce the wave will begin, but you pave the way for it. And then you declare that the foundation that needs to be built for what is ahead, be built from N. California through Vancouver, B.C. and it is just really clear, up in that area, up there. There is just such a heart of God for one of the key awakenings and outpourings of the Spirit of God for this region. It will shake this entire continent. NOW HERE ME! What God wants to do from N. California up through Vancouver, B.C. will shake this continent!"

Please RSVP to me as soon as possible. Thank you.

May Update for Pacificministries

Dear Friends of PacificMinistries,

Almost seven years ago, I was meditating on Psalm 46.

God is our refuge and strength,an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress...."Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted in the earth."

The Holy Spirit began to highlight several thematic phrases which eventually became a song: Be Still. The writer of Psalm 46 begins with a declaration of trust and confidence in God, despite trouble, natural disaster, and nations in an uproar. I believe the Lord interrupts with his own quiet voice to remind us to "still" ourselves. Needless to say, I have sung that song often.

There have been many prophetic words spoken from well-respected national personalities concerning both the pain and promise of God's coming judgment and mercy. It is in all our hearts desire to remain confident in God's promise to be our refuge and strength. Our job is to rest. Our calling is to be still; and remind ourselves that he is God and He will be exalted among the nations and in the earth. Our confidence does not rest in our ability to accurately discern the times or seasons. Our confidence and trust remains solely in our ability to rest.

Some years ago, the band Delirious wrote a song entitled: Find Me In The River. Following is a portion of their lyrics:

Find me in the river...Find me on my knees

I've walked against the water Now I'm waiting if you please

We've longed to see the roses...But never felt the thorns

And bought our pretty crowns....But never paid the price

Find me in the river....Find me there

Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare

Even though you're gone and I'm cracked and dry

Find me in the river, I'm waiting here.....

This Sunday evening at 6:00, you'll find a group of people who are hungry and thirsty for an encounter with Jesus. We do not have a full understanding of what God is doing... but we are declaring our dependence and resolve to "Be Still and Know... He is God."

You are invited to join us.

A POETIC GENERATION

A POETIC GENERATION
Michael A. Danforth
Apr 14, 2005

There is a poetic generation that is coming forth in this present hour more than any other time in history. These poetic people carry detailed expressions of the Father's heart. They are interior decorators of the body of Christ. They have an enlarged heart that was given to them through the breath of God. This increase of breath enables them to broaden the understanding of those who still look upon the kingdom of God through a mirror ever so darkly.

Their visions come from the inside out. They speak from the secret places of the most high. They know what it is to abide under the shadow of the Almighty. They cry out with a high language that graphically details the Father's love toward his bride. To be a poet means that you are able to communicate with high beauty of thought or language. It means that you have enough detailed imagination to artistically manifest your thoughts creatively to those around you. The beauty of your words reveals the hidden treasures that lie beneath the shallowness of mediocre living.

As a poetic bride you are motivated with a passionate zeal that continually burns with a longing to be more like Him day by day. Your continual exposure to His glorious presence further clothes you with an eternal identity that was given you before the foundations of the world.

There are wonderful new sounds of the kingdom of God being declared in the earth right now. These sounds are ushering in a new paradigm of the glory of God. Our journey from glory to glory is taking us from hearers, to doers, to becomers. We hear for the purpose of doing and we do for the purpose of becoming. The hearing of others is for the soul purpose of getting you to hear for your self. Under the new covenant, the prophetic movement in the land was never meant to be a mediator between you and God. It was specifically designed to speak the heart of God with such force and accuracy that as a son or daughter you will not settle for anything less than hearing the voice of God for yourself.

The Bible tells us, "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Faith is not what you can't see but what you can see. In other words, when you hear the word of God, you receive an image of what you cannot see in the natural but can see by the spirit. This is not a new age concept but an old one. The action of your faith towards that which you are believing to manifest in the flesh, is the beginning of your doing. James tells us, "if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. (James 1:23-24) This word "doer", poites (poy-ay-tace'), means, performer, specifically a "poet".

This text of Scripture is really speaking about spiritual perception. If your primary reflection of yourself stems from the natural realm and not of the spirit then you will quickly loose sight of your true identity. Your identity goes much deeper than the outward shell of your existence. If all you see is the surface of what God is doing in your life, then you will quickly forget who or what you really look like. The poetry of a doer is much more detailed than the outward makeup of his or her surroundings. The character of a poet is one of careful examination recognizing the true value that lies beyond the natural perception of interpretation. One of the strongest characteristics of this present poetic generation is the need for self-examination.

David cried, "Examine me. O Lord, and try me; test my mind and my heart (Ps 26:2)." You cannot examine the affections of God's heart with out entering into the need to be examined as well. You know that the accuracy of description toward the one you love is totally reliant upon your own heart and mind being proved by God. This is where the poet goes from being a doer to a be-comer. On the basis of his deepest desire to search out the hidden things of God, he slowly becomes what he hears the Father speaking and doing.

This is the place where many things become one thing, one longing, and one desire. David said, "One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple (Ps 27:4)." This poetic generation will lead the body of Christ into seeking after one thing, the beauty of the Lord. There are many things out there in the church and in the world, that are being sifted into one clear picture of what God has purposed for all of humanity. We seem to be busy at so many things without ever coming closer to the one thing that we were destined for, to behold Him in the beauty of His sanctuary.

Many are called, but few are chosen to be poets in this present generation. We are called to articulate a rhythm and rhyme by the spirit of God that reveals the kingdom of God on earth, just as it is in heaven.

YWAM KOREA

Jeju Island

Last post from Jeju

Friends...
Have just complete 5 days of intensive teaching/ministry with YWAM Korea here on Jeju Island. It's Easter Sunday and a large weather depression sits over us..l.it is pouring and windy...a few days ago it snowed. We find ourselves socked in and laying low...very unusual.
This YWAM base has several North Korean escapees...both of which we have formed an unusual and precious relationship...we will have Easter dinner with them before returning to Seoul Mon. for 2 days of meetings with David Park....and then a Korean Bible College for Indonesian pastors...around 50 or so.
We have had the most wonderful reception....a divine connection with these young people who have come from the North...our hearts have been stirred as we have listened to their stories of tragedy and triumph. One girl, Kim Park (not real name).. is 29 and escaped to China in 1997 because of starvation..then was discovered and deported 3 yrs. later and spent 40 days in prison. She escaped in 2002 again and became a Christian while in Thailand...and finally made her way to this base for training as they have a mission later this year to pray at the border of N. Korea.
I shared with the class....actually the entire school on Thur. pm..around 300 or so...of our heart and love for the church in both North and South Korea....and told our Eagle story from Is. and of my vision and crafted prayer for the nation.
I believe God is mobilizing an army of worshippers....with a strategic mission....made up of sold out and passionate warriors. We have met such a group.
We feel very humbled the Lord has allowed us to minister and be ministered to....thru these young people.
Please pray for sustained energy and hope for us...miss you all, especially our kids !!
found out we can receive voice mail thru our email as an attached file....so you may call 206-350-0236...wait for the beep and we'll get your voice..thru the message via email....
Darrell and Carlene

Today..March 22

Woke up this morning to stong winds. The island of Jeju is isolated....a volcanic island and subject to rapid weather changes.

I feel as if Carlene and I are experiencing new dimensions of grace and the Lord's rest. We teach in the morning for 2.5 hours and then again in the afternoo for 2 hours. We allow for translation time and interaction.

Tonight...all the YWAM Schools come together for their service...around 300 or so, and I will speak and Carlene will "dance" and fly like the Eagle....from Is. 40.

We believe very strongly in these schools. They are made up of very dedicated and purposeful students and older adults who want to lay their life down for Jesus. Several of the students have escaped from North Korea....and have witnessed personally, the execution of Christians who died "with a smile on their face..."

I feel very honored to encourage them. We have a large number who have shared this is rare to see husband and wife at the schools...and it has set an example for them with regard to team ministry. Carlene has also shared during the lecture times and has been very well received...of course.

Bless all of you...and we love to hear from you....either comments on the blog...or mailto:pacificministries@comcast.net

Darrell

We woke up this morning....

To a Korean shouting something at 5:30am.Come to think of it...he shouted yesterday morning at 5:30. I bet itwill happen again tomorrow. Time seems to go slow over here. Darrellis sitting at the desk in our room and I am sitting on the bed. Wehave been discussing todays lecture about prophetic worship. Goodstuff.Yesterday was so interesting. We wish that you could be here with usto witness some of our activities. Their morning worship time wasrefreshing because, for the first time ever in our visits to Korea,they were quiet for some time to allow the Holy Spirit to speak. Nomusic from the band or background tape. Just good old fashion silenceuntil someone spoke. In Korean of coarse so we didn't understand whatwas said. Then they prayed for the countries this YWAM base isconnected with. The flag, map and scripture for each country is onthe walls and they turn to face these country to intercede for them.This all happened in the dinning room area with the other schools onthis base plus some neighbors who live on the island adding up toabout 200+ people. We will be speaking to this crowd on Thursdaynight about the eagle and Is. 40. Other times we split up intosmaller groups and we are involved with about 45-50 people in a smalltrailer style class room. It is like moving around and teaching in anairplane. My hips are wider than the isles. Many of them havecomputers so during the lecture part you hear this wave of tapping. Iwant to start laughing but there is no one to enjoy the laughter withme and it would offend them greatly. They are busy. Darrell is goingto apply some of the teaching we had with Dave Olsen. The drawingwith our non-dominate hand and love letter to God. He is going to askthem to close the lap tops. Should be an interesting morning session.This camp has the typical camp food and they have been trying hard toaccommodate our tastes. It's raining so we haven't made it to thebeach yet. Darrell went into town yesterday but took a taxi back herewhen it started to rain.Our apartment here is much smaller than the apartment in Taejon butfilled with all the comforts. I love the heated floors and bedding.Darrell was in a deep place during worship back in Taejon when theLord spoke to him a word. Galveston. He went to the Internet to lookup Galveston, Texas. He found out that one hundred years ago theyexperienced a storm surge that caused 6000 deaths. The worst USnatural disaster to date.

Love to you all, Carlene

From Jeju

Friends...

This island has so many familiar aspects and the peace I feel is incredible. It's the right time and the right place had a wonderful time in Taejon too.Much good ministry with youth we have developed wonderful relationships with.

Our plane from Daejon to Cheju Island was full of newly weds because this is the place to come for the honeymoon. Beautiful people in beautiful costumes and hair doos. Darrell and I fit right in.We are sleeping like logs. Plenty of rest in between teachings.

Darrell is doing a marvelous job listening to the Holy Spirit for directionally each time we give a word and/or scripture......They tell us that the Lord had already revealed these very same things to them confirmations for us all.

Love with kimchee breath, Carlene

Please feel free to comment!!

We'll post more frequently as we have better access to internet....

Thanks!

Making the Most of Failure

Making the Most of Failure
By Graham Cooke

What we think about God is the single, most important, thing in the world. How we perceive Him will dictate how we live our life. How we see ourselves in relation to Him will orchestrate all that we are and do in this world.

We live in a success driven world. So, in particular, seeing any failure in relation to the heart of God is absolutely vital. God is love and the nature of that love must be the driving force behind everything that we do or attempt.

God is not human. He is the sum of everything. He is not just the Creator of the world. He is the Creator of all things, including love. He does all things well, including love. His standard for everything is excellence. The benchmark for success in the Kingdom of God is so high no one can reach it without His input. And yet He chooses mostly failures to represent Him.

'For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of this world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, so that no flesh should glory in Hs presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God - and righteousness and sanctification and redemption - that, as it is written 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'
(1 Cor 1:26-31. NKJV)

So it's official. God loves a failure!

He did not want the beauty of His nature and the glory of His kingdom solely to be represented by the great, the good and the clever. He did not want a Who's Who of humanity to portray His own magnificence.

He does not need to be seen in the right places with the right people. Jesus was criticized viciously for hanging out with the very people that society detested. He chose to become despised and rejected. God does not have an image problem.

He chose people who had a history of failure. He picked people who had a history of not learning and who repeated their mistakes continuously.

God chooses people who were despised as being stupid, by people who should know better. He accepted people who would require lots of training just to be normal, let alone successful.

He chose them because He wanted to love them in such a way that they would always be safe and whole … whether they were successful or not.

He chose them so that His love for them could heal them of their foolishness. He has a wonderful capacity to enjoy us in our weaknesses. He has a plan to make us successful through failure.
We can fail successfully or we can fail badly.

To fail successfully we need to know who we are in Jesus.

We are in Christ and He is in us. The Father has a plan for our personality as much as He has a design for changing our character. To make us more like himself. A big part of that plan therefore is to love us in exactly the same way that He loves Jesus. We are not loved when we succeed in Christ. We are loved fully because we are in Him. God loved us powerfully when we were lost in sin.

We fail successfully when we realize that our mistakes are already covered. No matter how well or badly our life is going we learn to live under the smile of God. Know that in the love of God we cannot fail, we can only make mistakes and every mistake has already been covered by the cross.

Where were you when Jesus died? You had no existence. All our sins and mistakes were in the future, and they were covered by that one incredible act of sacrificial love. All our past, present and future sins and mistakes have already been covered. Our future has been secured in the love of God. Shame is not on God's agenda for us. He allows us the wonder and joy of repentance. Literally "to think again", to think differently, and to become what we think about.

We fail successfully when we discover that God wants us to love the learning that exists in every situation. All forms of accountability are about loving the learning that is present in every circumstance. That learning produces the fruit of self control which in turn guarantees lasting change.

God knows that when we do things for the first time we learn how not to do it. Loving the learning in every situation enables us to become wise and also beloved. Wise because we learn from our mistakes and grow. Beloved, because our sense of acceptance comes from being in Christ and not from our ability or performance. Therefore, if we fail at something we can still grow in the love of God. The joy of repentance and the beauty of God's unchanging nature guarantees forgiveness and acceptance.

We fail successfully when we realize that God is not even remotely embarrassed by our weaknesses. He defends us to all our detractors. He is not ashamed to call us brethren. We are in Christ and cannot be condemned (Romans 8). The One who loves us the best, knows us the best. God does not get disillusioned with us, because He had no illusions in the first place!

We fail successfully when we allow ourselves to be comforted. Our mentor is the Holy Spirit who helps us to laugh at ourselves. He is the Comforter sent to lead us into all truth. When we are embarrassed at the truth of our current mindset or behavior He comforts us so that we are not paranoid about screwing up. Then He helps us with the learning. Every test is repeatable. We cannot fail the tests of God because we get to take them again … and again … and again, until we pass. Even in the consequences of our action the love of God reaches out to cover, protect and nurture us in our wounded-ness.

The biggest thing we get to learn is that God loves me for me! Not for what I can do. God's love helps us to relax about ourselves. The grace of God is given to us to enable us to feel loved when we mess up. God's grace enables us to feel good about God and therefore to have mercy on ourselves and others. We are a work in progress. No-one condemns the artist of an unfinished picture. Instead we look at what is there and we picture what it could become. We wonder, we imagine, and we are excited by the possibilities.

In my weakness I am lovely to God. It's the sheer beauty of God that sets me free to be loved outrageously. He allows us to fail when He could have prevented it … maybe because He wants us to see how much we are loved when we can't do anything right. He gives us freedom to fail and His intention is to show us that we are still His beloved. His love for us is not based on how well we do. We desire excellence because He is excellent. No wonder then that David said, "This one thing I ask … that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty of the Lord and to (think about Him and all that He is) meditate in His temple" (Psalm 27:4)

In failure we can understand how lovely we are to the Lord. That is failing successfully.

We fail badly when we imagine that failure should not be part of our inheritance. When we believe that failure is not a part of God's plan. Does God cause us to fail? No. Does He allows us to fail? Obviously. Does He use our failure to improve our relationship with Him? Everything God does is relational. Every circumstance can be turned around so that we discover the height, depth, length and breadth of God's love.

When we hit the heights God's love is present. When we hit the depths of despair, sin and ugliness, His love covers everything we hate about ourselves. In the pit of depression God's loving kindness builds a stairway to recovery. No pit is so deep He is not deeper still. His love is high enough to lift us above everything, deep enough to rescue anyone from anything, long enough to last for eternity and broad enough to cover every failure.

We fail badly when we choose not to look into the face of Jesus. In failure, God always moves closer to us. People distance themselves from failure and failures. Not so God. His heart beats for us. He has given us a comforter so that we can feel his heartbeat. In recent times I have gone through some of the most painful things in my life, but I have discovered the Comforter afresh.
My current failures do not haunt me because the Holy Spirit has exorcised the ghost of shame and dishonor. I am comforted. I am learning. I am the beloved of God. My name is Graham and I am a man greatly beloved of God.

He does hide from us occasionally, but that is to draw us into His realm. He manifests Himself to us when He invades our time-space world. When He hides it is to teach us wisdom by revelation. God's hiddenness is always about us discovering deep truth. (For further information see 'Hiddenness and Manifestation' from the Being with God series.)

Failure is not so much falling down as refusing to get up once we have fallen. We fail badly when we imagine that God is annoyed by our failings and will punish us or make us pay for messing up.
In the process of discipling us God has budgeted for our failure. Our failure cannot diminish the Kingdom therefore it cannot diminish us. In failure the Father budgets to be to us exactly what we need at that precise moment. I Am is with us. Intentional love is present and it is more lavish than we can imagine. His love can be so extravagant that it picks us up and makes us want to try again.

God's glory is not enhanced by our success nor can it be tarnished by our failure. God is simply above all of that. What if most of God's glory is derived from people who are astonished and amazed to be loved so fully in the face of their own inabilities and weaknesses? What if it is part of our own glory in the Lord for us to be loved so wonderfully when we are at our most brainless and ignorant?

My own failures are many. My capacity for weakness on days seems undiminished. I am an embarrassment to myself and yet I am loved so wonderfully. There is perhaps one difference that my experiences with God have given me. I no longer weep tears of shame. I cry tears of joy and wonder. I am amazed by God and His power to love me. He makes all things work together for good. I'm not much of a challenge to His genius and creativity.

We can discover God just as much in failure as we can in success, because God never changes. He is the same whether we succeed or fail. We will all fail at times, we must learn to do so more successfully!

God's love makes us free to fail …. Fail in a way that makes you whole and makes the Lord smile!
