Airplane Encounter: Jesus, Take the Wheel!
(October 30, 2023)
I had the honor of speaking at a conference in Duluth, MN called "Faith on Fire – Igniting the Prophetic and Releasing His Roar." I took a flight from Chicago, IL to Minneapolis, MN. About the moment the plane reached the Minnesota border, the pilot said, "Everyone needs to buckle up. It's about to get rough." In the next moment, the sky was chaotic and turbulent. I have flown to several states and nations over the years, and have never experienced the turbulence that was happening in that moment.
I told the Lord, "Jesus, take the wheel!" Not only that, but I'm sure everyone three or four rows around me knew I was a praying Christian! For about 15 minutes the turbulence didn't let up, and then – BOOM! It was like a shock wave of peace, and the plane instantly hit clear skies. Outside the window, I saw a huge open circle of sun and blue skies with massive dark clouds behind us, almost like some invisible force had encircled the state and pushed out the turbulent winds and clouds. When we landed in Minneapolis there was a calm, refreshing rain falling.
After leaving the plane and walking up the jetway into the airport, I quietly asked the Lord, "What was that all about?" In the very next moment, as I stepped into the airport, a man walked right in front of me; his phone speaker "accidentally" turned on, and a loud voice spoke from it, saying, "THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!" I kid you not!
Instantly, I had understanding from the Lord: "Andrew, the natural first and then the spiritual." I heard Him say, "What you experienced on the plane is what I'm working in the spirit. The atmosphere of chaos and darkness is being driven out, and the refreshing rains of My Spirit remain."
The work of the Holy Spirit defined: "But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?' But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged" (John 16:5-11).
Convict: "to bring to light, to expose."
The Holy Spirit is coming to expose that we missed the mark of glory, through unbelief, by manifesting the King of glory in our midst. The Holy Spirit is coming to expose that, because the Son has gone back to the Father; we now have received His righteousness through faith! The Holy Spirit is coming to expose that judgment which has been rendered against satan and his works. He will convince us that the devil's works stand condemned already and we must appropriate His victory!
You will see Me: "He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you. Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you. In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me" (John 16:14-16).
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8) (Photo via Unsplash)
My witnesses: "My martyrs, when you die they will see Me!"
Recover the Prayer Movement!
(August 10, 2022)
I stepped out of my Jeep in a parking lot and instantly I was arrested by the Holy Spirit. I clearly heard the Spirit of the Lord say, "The earth hasn't even begun to see the chorus of prayers that I'm going to bring forth."
I knew in that moment that what we call the present day "prayer movement" is only a drop in the bucket, and that all across the nations the Spirit of the Lord is going to fan into flame a new wave of fervent prayer.
God is now exposing the idolatry that has replaced the fires of prayer so that we can repent, rebuild altars, and recover revival/prayer fire!
The Spirit of Truth and Spiritual Boot Camp
(November 1, 2023)
In a dream, I saw a prophet confronting the mixture within the Church (in terms of them living from their past victories, but not from a reality of presently seeking His face). In the dream, this prophet was able to see into eyes of people and discern if their fire was present or past. Though I could feel the fear of the Lord as this prophet confronted the people of God, it wasn't condemning... I knew it was the Spirit of truth convicting people for hypocrisy, and it was "provoking" people awake! When the prophet looked at certain people who had turned back to seek the face of God, he could see the glory of God within them!
In a second dream, I was with this same prophet. He and I were attending the same training/boot camp. There were several others, both men and women, also in the training camp. Most of the others either got sick from exhaustion or just quit because it was too intense. However, both he and I were sincerely surprised that people quit, because we honestly didn't feel like this training camp was that intense. Then it hit us in the dream, and we both realized that our past training through grueling circumstances and a long history of walking with God had been a life-long boot camp that had prepared us for what was ahead... So this brief boot camp didn't feel hard at all!
Next in the dream, he and I decided to go out to eat together and fellowship. He left to head to the restaurant and I was going to meet him. The prophet called me on the phone and said to meet him at the "Country Time" buffet, and so I headed in that direction. On the drive to meet him, I had a download from the Lord and knew that both he and I would be given words in 2024 for the country. I knew that the boot camp we were in was preparing us all for this next intense season for the country. I believe what is ahead will be quite demanding and shaking, but God will be supplying clear words to fuel our prayers and help us navigate things as a nation.
Dream of Idolatry in the House of God
(November 4, 2023)
In my dream, I saw a house and knew it was the house of God. I saw a giant, demonic-looking woman on top of the house, and I knew in the dream this was the spirit of witchcraft. I looked at this spirit and it was painting with black paint around every window and door throughout the entire house. As soon as it was done painting, I saw small figures appear on every ledge of the windows and doors; they looked like demonic idols.
I knew that everyone in the house could not see clearly out the windows or doors because of these demonic idols. Then, I observed that all of these demonic idols were being animated – moving and dancing in the windows. I looked and saw that the spirit of witchcraft had strings tied to every idol in each window and door.
Suddenly in the dream, the spirit of prophecy came upon me, and I said, "It's time to sever the strings of the puppet master. Break the idols and cut the strings."
End of dream.
"The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; IDOLATRY AND WITCHCRAFT; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21, emphasis added)
Idolatry has opened the door to witchcraft and control. It is keeping us from having vision, and from being the house of prayer! We must cut the strings of the puppet master!
Dream of Two Books – "The Issachar Anointing" and "Prayer Force"
(2007)
In my dream, I walked up a flight of stairs into an upper room. I saw two books sitting on the floor in the middle of the room. I didn't see any authors' names on the books, but I did see their titles. The first book read, "THE ISSACHAR ANOINTING." The second book had a picture of an Air Force pilot, and the title of the book read, "PRAYER FORCE." Immediately upon seeing these books, I ran into the room and dove head first, violently grabbing the books, and said, "These are mine."
End of dream.
I believe that dream was a personal invitation to carry these two mandates of an Issachar anointing and to help raise up a prayer force! I believe God is anointing His people with an Issachar anointing (to know the times and seasons, and know what action is needed) and is sending out a draft notice for His Prayer Force – saints who gain spiritual air superiority by appropriating the victory of Christ through prayer! It is time to understand the times and season and recover the fire of prayer like never before!
Dream of President Trump
(November 6, 2023)
In my dream, I was in a conference room where President Trump was. I saw that his bodyguard needed to step out to take care of a certain matter. I realized that Trump's side was not covered, so I ran to his side, willing to protect him from anything that could come near him from that direction. As I stood near him, he looked at me and smiled. We shook hands and I said, "I'm Andrew Whalen."
He responded and said, "I know of you, and I've heard great things. I know about you and Johnny Enlow, and Elijah Streams. You are all doing great things."
Then he stood up to walk out of the room, but I walked with him. He looked at me and said, "I used to think that God would just do everything. I used to think that all that was needed was for a prophet to say it and that was it – God would do the rest. But now I know I wasn't right. God will do what only He can do, but we must do our part."
At that moment, it was like I had an instant revelation of what he meant. I knew that he felt that the Church was too naive sometimes, in that they just assume that when God says something, they don't have to play a part in praying and fighting for it! I knew he also meant that the Church doesn't have much of a grid for the Kingdom outside of the four walls of the Church.
I then had an instant knowing that when he said, "We must do our part," our prayers were aiding the military activities taking place across the earth, and that these military activities were just as spiritual and "Kingdom" as the activity that happens in the four walls – because these operations and actions of military/soldiers were acting as the "ministers" of God's Kingdom justice!
I discerned that Trump was frustrated that the Church could not recognize the way the Kingdom of God was at work through his presidency and even through behind-the-scenes operations. I said to myself in the dream, "Trump is more of a prophet than most prophets."
I continued to walk with him, and then the dream ended.
I think the dream is clear, but also me coming to his side represents a new and urgent need to pray on his behalf! WE also must not rest naively in previous prophecies without praying into them! WE must also pray for the military – recognizing that it's God's ministry of justice being employed through their operations!
"For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil." (Romans 13:3-4)
