Greetings!

I heard the Lord say concerning what his conference is about to accomplish over the next four to ten years:

When my wife Kathy and our burgeoning family went to Yellowstone Park in 1988, we saw something new and unusual. We would regularly go in an RV with our eight children every several years. But 1988 was different, because the US media was reporting on the fires of Yellowstone that year. For sixty days before our departure, we heard that over sixty percent of the park was affected by the fires. They reported that attendance to the park was way down and that people should probably stay away. All that while they were there reporting that we should stay away. I told my wife that we would stand in faith, and she at other times would say that to me, that we should still go as we had planned for the last year.

We went, and it was fun. The park was very empty, the media scaring off most of the visitors, and park attendance was down over fifty percent. What we saw were huge fires, some leaping up to one half mile into the air. We would park on the side of the road, and watch as the animals would move out of the way and lay down in front of the fire lines, and get up and move as was necessary. We also saw that the park was not burning to the ground as reported. Sixty percent affected probably meant that a big cloud of smoke rolled from one large valley into another large valley. This was in 1988.

In 1990 we went back to see the devastation of the fires. The park is the size of Connecticut, and about 20-25% had lost old growth trees, much of them still standing but dead. However we saw something new, that the undergrowth that did not exist before on the forests floor, came alive with tall slender grasses and flowers, reaching four, five and six feet high. We heard from the park rangers that animals now flush with new food sources, were beginning to flourish and that the park animal populations had begun a dramatic increase. That was in 1990. Two years later in 1992, the park was bragging that some animal species had tripled in number and that all grazers had seen a healthy surge in offspring since the fires.

Today, in just 20 years, the park is healthier than before.

Now this is what the Lord said:

“Some Generals have gone home, but not all. The Generals are the old growth trees. God is not removing them out, but instead giving vision to the new breed of leaders that they have birthed. What some have seen as a void, I have prepared to fill with abundance. What is coming up is not the same as before. What could not see the light of day, light is now reaching, and I will cause a vast increase in growth in ministries around the world. Those who did not know their righteousness will now learn on their own. Those who have sought promotion from a General will have to promote others now instead. Those that still want promotion of the tall trees will miss their promotion. Promotion comes from the Lord.”

“Some have said, ‘promote me, promote me’. But they will have to change to become a servant of others, like the tall trees have done. The tall trees knew to plant seeds, they knew to protect their young. You know that My Son sent out many, and became angry when they did not see their own righteousness.”

“The new growths are My shepherds full of My Word, the animals are the sheep, and the newborns are the lost and dying that are now ready to come into the kingdom. What the world has seen as ravaged, I the Lord Am using to create a new wave of My glory. Where no one had ever grazed before on My Word, now they will come to graze. The old Forests that are still standing will continue to stand. The new growth however will flourish like the palm tree, they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.”

“Do not despise your youth, or your size, or your location. I the Lord will cause you to grow. You shall be shepherds at a new level, offspring of the Generals before you.”

“As the latter rains cause the deserts to bloom, so I will cause the latter rains to fall on places that have never been seen as prosperous. I will cause My Spirit to move in such a way that maps shall change because of Me. Only trust in My Righteousness, and carry out what I have designed you for.”

I know that this word is not just for the Midwest of the USA, but for many regions around the world as well.

As of today, we have now over 180 ministries attached to the World Faith Conference in some way. Many foreign nationals have stood in faith for their tickets and are now on their way here. If you have not yet registered, or have not yet made your travel arrangement, I encourage you to do so. God has put something in you that He expects you to share with others.

The conference is now less than 30 days away. I am excited for those of you that have not seen promotion yet. Now I know that it is coming quickly.
