Each year we celebrate the Lord by giving 10% of our year as a first fruits offering (Jan 1 – Feb 5). During this time of fasting and prayer the Lord gives us direction for the year. It serves as a spiritual compass for us to follow. The word for 2012 (below) will be added to as prophecy comes; until February 5, and then used for direction for the remainder of the year.
Jan 1
My friend sent me a text saying his flight had been delayed due to high winds. We (in another state) had just experienced 3 days of high winds. I said to Holy Spirit, “wow, the wind is really blowing in Boulder too.” He replied, “It isn’t just Casper or Boulder. It isn’t any one state. This is the year of ‘Strong Winds’.” I heard Him explaining that we should expect Holy Spirit to use “Strong Winds” to redirect and realign us throughout this year. It will come as the wind- sudden and sometimes violent. We won’t know what direction it came from or where it went. He will use the “Strong Winds” to disrupt our plans so that we can align with His plan. He then reminded me of the day of Pentecost in the book of Acts. The believers were having a prayer meeting, most likely like all the other prayer meetings they had up until that point. Suddenly Holy Spirit showed up and redirected their journey by aligning them with the Kingdom.
Acts 2:1 On the day of Pentecost[a] all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting.
Prepare for the infilling by way of the outpour. Those who desire it can drink in and be filled, even to overflowing. The time to seek is upon us. This is the season of direction, even re-direction. Don’t despise the course-correct and be willing to quickly obey. (DV) Jan 5
Holy Spirit is raising a flag among believers. Watch as church bodies unite in prayer efforts putting aside fleshly matters and focusing on Kingdom advancement. This will include church growth on a global scale. Now is the time to plant new churches, and those church bodies who have struggled with attendance will see much growth.
Isa 11:12 He will raise a flag among the nations and assemble the exiles of Israel. He will gather the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth.
Watch and be prepared to receive those you thought would never come to church as well as people of every socioeconomic status. Hearts have been scattered and the angels of God have been at work gathering the people at the walls and gates. They are confused and scared- pray that Holy Spirit would comfort them- and be a comfort to them as they come. Patients will be necessary as you develop relationships with the wondering. They will not be called wonderers any longer but a mighty people of God who will be caught up (educationally) quickly and put to their task.
Prepare for this growth and make time to study the Word. There will be a spiritual hunger released that has not been seen in over a decade. There is a great interest in spiritual things rising within the hearts of those who are prepared to listen. Pray for eyes to see and ears to hear.
There will be an economic shift as political entities become unified. Decisions made will benefit America’s course as a country and bless the people. Positive change will take place in moral standards and areas where we have allowed iniquity reign. The atmosphere of hostility toward Godly principals will also shift as the faithful prayers of the saints are literally moving principalities from their thrones. Look for new methods leaning toward natural to take the forefront of the medical field. There will also be a flood of middle-class employment opportunities as private businesses grow. There is a release for new businesses to start. If you have been “toying” with the idea of starting a small business, this is the year to plant and root in. Don’t expect the process to be altogether easy, but things will align so that you can make the steps necessary.
Isa 11: 15 The Lord will make a dry path through the gulf of the Red Sea.[g] He will wave his hand over the Euphrates River,[h] sending a mighty wind to divide it into seven streams so it can easily be crossed on foot.
The Lord will wave His hand causing a “Strong Wind” that will separate rivers that have become wild, uncross- able, and overwhelming. As the wind blows, rivers that once seemed impossible will be easily crossed. Expect to see a change in government thinking that promotes and helps small business by tax benefits and ease of approval. (DV) Jan 6
In Isaiah Holy Spirit speaks of a highway created for the remnant. The highway speaks of a place of fast travel, unhindered and un-interrupted flow- a steady stream of believers both new and old. That He would gather together the scattered people of the city to equip the church. He will equip the church quickly, with those who have been prepared; giftings, talents, and much treasure will be brought into Gods house. Make ready the preparations to make use of this equipping. The highway also speaks of a HIGH way. That Holy Spirit is calling a people out from the ashes that will honor the Word and be a people who hunger for righteousness at any cost. He is making access to a high-way for lovers of righteousness and haters of iniquity. Watch as the young people across the nation reach out for righteousness at any cost. They will not be put down, shut down, or take “no” for an answer. They will embrace Holy principals and cry out for justice to those who are suffering. The “on-ramp” to the highway of the HIGH-way is open to those who are willing to travel upon it. Do not be surprised, but watch in wonder as the Lord sustains you and causes you to walk in safety. You will indeed travel at high speeds, efficiently, expediently- there is a great work to be done as principalities shift. Gates must be created, and boundaries defined. (DV)
Jan 12
Make a place where my people are free. Do not fear their choices; focus instead on your own. Open the doors to those who have been ostracized and left behind. Allow them to come- all of them, make a place free from oppression and remove the yoke of religion as well as the yoke of iniquity.
Join with them as they with you. Do not withhold or look down upon them. They are my people as you are my people. My love for them is great, as it is for you. Allow them time and space to experience My love and be renewed in My healing waters.
Together you will occupy the land. Kick against this and find only despair. You divide over nothing, and quarrel over meaningless issues you call “truths”; better stated “misrepresented truths”. Be willing to receive the ones I love as you were received, not how you were received by an institution, how you were received by Me. I have set this land apart for you, it belongs to My remnant. Come together and see what great things can be accomplished for the Kingdoms advance.
Raise the flag and do not look back. See that I will establish a banner over Strong Tower and even my church in Casper; the banner will read “SALVATION”. Yes for souls of men and women, children and infants, young and old, no matter race, creed, or color. But for salvation of souls alone? No. but that of mind, body & spirit, from flesh to bone, bone to organ, organ to blood, & blood to sand. I will indeed do a complete work, for I am a complete God. The church will know and fear Me for I AM GOOD. See that My goodness saturates the Land in which you dwell upon. My Glory will be made known through My goodness, and you my vessel. I have chosen you, a peculiar and set apart people to change the core reality for many generations to come. “Weren’t they bold.” They will speak to their children with awe and wonder, “wasn’t that magnificent?” they will say and ask while they sing bed-time stories to their legacy; resting in their peaceful beds. “Wait until they see and hear of our BOLDNESS!” will be the declaration of the generation not far off, “just wait until our ancestors see how magnificent our stand will be!”
They are waiting, lying in wait. Where are the forerunners? Where are the See’ers? Where are those bold enough to keep a promise and remain true through adversity? Where is my remnant? Where are my called ones; those who will wave My banner with confidence? They will be the ones who make way for Salvation. Fathers will be restored to their sons, families once torn apart will come together and peace will reside throughout; it will be a glorious place.
The time is now and those unprepared will be caught unaware. Raise the flag, join forces, and occupy the land. I will cause your flag to be anointed, yes doubly so; My angel “14” will be sent to take charge over you. Her name is “14” because she carries with her a double portion of my anointing. So raise your flag and I will call attention to it for the people of Casper. This remnant will come to join forces with you for I have made a safe way for them; a highway in which to travel. You will join forces with them and they with you. Make no place for jealousy among you. Together you will occupy the land as you co-labor with one another and together with My Spirit. Principalities will bend, move, retreat, and displace in this great coming together. Oh my dear ones, as they come, as opportunity comes, do not give way to offense. I say again DO NOT BOW TO THE spirit named OFFENSE. Recognizing that others are blind does not help you to see, but I will cause you to see and see so clearly. A duel working, double portion, her name is “14”. This year you will be seeing double! Receive the phone calls, don’t avoid the encounters, write letters, send messages- be the one who seeks the other even as they seek you! Let it interrupt what you are doing, even if what you are doing is “holy”- take every opportunity to LOVE and live-LOVE. (DV)

I saw a field of green rolling hills and sheep were grazing upon it. The sheep were white and brilliant in contrast. It almost seemed as if they were glowing. It began to snow, big heavy flakes and before long the entire field was covered in a calm winter-fall. The sheep that once looked so brilliant and clean against the bright green grass now looked dingy, dirty and covered with filth. The backs of the sheep were covered in new snow, but their bodies were mostly visible. I was then taken to a birds-eye view. From above all I could see was dazzling white.
When we compare ourselves to the world we look clean.
When we compare ourselves to self-imposed standards we look dirty.
When we find ourselves covered in His Glory we become lost in His Grace.
This year those who will look will find new freedom in the covering of Gods love. Grace doesn’t bury sin, Grace covers sin. We would do well to learn the difference. (DV)
Holy Spirit is looking for those who will make conscience decisions to clothe themselves in truth; that the spirit of Truth would be given the opportunity to rein. This spirit will only manifest himself in environments where truth is embraced and practiced.
That your goodness and good deeds would be on display. Humility isn’t hiding the good that you do, so let your light shine! Let goodness be round-about you like a belt. This year you will see more opportunity to “to good” than you have in many years. Let the Lords goodness be known by your good deeds and your faith be known by your righteous posture. He will indeed empower you to help those in need. Avoid the rat-race and the long list of to-dos and make time to help those in trouble. (DV)
Jan 26
Never stop praying. Be thankful always and on every occasion. In a vision I saw a remnant of Gods people tucked safely away in the cleft of solid rock. The Rook was bigger than any mountain I have ever seen. The Rock stood up and began walking forward and those in it felt safe and were greatly encouraged.
He is the Rock and for those who will purpose to dwell in the secret place will be lifted up and brought forward to a place of divine destiny. Within this secret place you will experience safety and revel in the joy of being protected and well cared for. We are not the thorn in His crown- we are the crown of His creation and the object of His affection! (DV)
As God waves His hand a few things will begin to happen. First a strong wind will divide up principalities that have had much influence in the city into smaller and conquerable forces that we are to make war with. Partner with the spiritual realm and ask Holy Spirit how you can best make war. He will then begin to beckon us to cross over from natural to naturally-supernatural. When this happens you will see that a banner of salvation will have been raised and made manifest by individuals embracing Kingdom principals. As that banner is raised the people will come. At that time people from all over; people with mis-directed thinking and mindsets, people with solid wisdom and understanding.
As the people are gathered Holy Spirit needs to know and trust that we will not give way to jealousy and that the environment would be free of “snap judgments”. We are not to allow sin in the camp, but we cannot make judgments based on what we see or what we hear.
Yes the Spirit of the Lord will dwell with us and the Spirit of Wisdom & Revelation will be round-about us. We have been so judgmental about every little thing and it has only served to hurt the cause and bring chaos and dysfunction to the body. The time has come for those who have submitted themselves to the character shaping process and have presented open hearts that were willing to be corrected and open to being told they were wrong – to enter a place of functional relationship. We are not to embrace iniquity, but must have the wisdom & revelation as to where we make our stand and what we stand against. Things are never as black/white as they may seem; if you believe things are this way deception is at your doorstep and you will soon be overtaken. Do not invite deception in! Hold your ground by grounding in Him, yet be responsible with your relationship; seeking and listening and obeying. (DV)

Amen! Good word
2 Samuel 11:1 NLT
In the spring of the year, when kings normally go out to war, David sent Joab and the Israelite army to fight the Ammonites. They destroyed the Ammonite army and laid siege to the city of Rabbah. However, David stayed behind in Jerusalem.
I strongly feel that the 10/90 is our “spring of the year” for war. I am excited that as we near the end of the season, we can all celebrate that we did not SURVIVE the 10/90… we CONQUERED it! Excited to lift up the spoils I’ve won, and the ground I’ve taken as we feast before the lord! Though we long for peace, I am so in love of this season of breakthrough, and look forward to continued warring along side all my ST family!
