"Clarion Call to Avert West Coast Disaster"

Understanding the Times in the Natural

The recent Sumatra quake and all of the activity in the Juan de Fuca plate, which is only 250 miles off the west coast, and 700 miles long, should be a wake up call. Prophetic warnings should be coupled with factual information so that intercessors can pray on site with insight. A GREAT RESOURCE for the Juan de Fuca plate/Cascadia Subduction Zone is the DVD CASCADIA: THE HIDDEN FIRE, produced by Michael Lienau (www.globalnetproductions.com and www.equakevideo.com), who produced the first George Otis, Jr. Transformation video, available at The Elijah List below.

Michael is offering this through The Elijah List to intercessors who have a burden to pray for this important focus.

Michael is also working with spiritual leaders initiating faith-based disaster training. He and Patrick Hamman, the Redmond City Chaplain (www.citychaplain.org), are networking with churches in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. They are purchasing Cascadia and are giving them to participants through city grants. Michael and Pat are also working on training city employees with the DVDs and developing a web-based interactive training website.

This DVD will also be available at The WEST COAST PRAYER SUMMIT
April 15-16, 2005 in Astoria, Oregon.

Mark Acuna of Antioch House and Barbara Steely of Wailing Women, who says:

"A prophetic cry to prayer is occurring up and down the west coast of the United States. Many have seen natural and spiritual events happening in the near future. We agree together and ask God for His mercy and will to be done. We also respond to His call to pray and agree with each other in this task. This is just one gathering for prayer and strategy, but we know they are happening from Alaska to California. Our hope is to coordinate a prayer effort together for the west coast."

Barbara has been flooded with input from those of you who have been hearing from the Lord regarding a great shaking and wave coming. Some address more of a spiritual impact than natural. This is a real possibility. Lisa Knorr of Global Net Productions sent me the following:

In John Nance's 1988 book, "On Shaky Ground," he describes what happened at one church when the earthquake struck during the 1964 Alaska earthquake. "At All Saints Episcopal Church, Father Norm Elliot reached the twelfth State of the Cross in the Good Friday services. The last quotation from Matthew was in front of him now as he read the familiar words: 'But Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up His spirit. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent.'"

It was exactly thirty-five seconds past 5:36 p.m. Father Norm Elliot felt the first waves shudder through his church as he read the line, " . . . and the rocks were rent."

Interesting to note that four years prior, on April 3, 1960, Dennis Bennett preached a sermon on the underground Pentecostal Movement that was quietly racing through so many churches in America. He told about how he, himself, had spoken in tongues. Instantly, an explosion went off in his Episcopal Church. The story was later carried in the local newspapers, various wire services picked it up, and the news swept the country.

Prayer and Fasting

During an on site prayer strategy in Seattle last weekend, the Lord gave a 10 DAY PRAYER FOCUS. You can start April 15 through Passover, April 24. Or you can use it after the prayer and fasting focus 21 DAYS TO BREAK THE POWER OF CAPTIVITY Chuck Pierce has just released (if you missed reading this, you can read it on The Elijah List at: http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=2992 ). This is great for individual victory over strongholds in our lives that may influence our ability to move in the authority Jesus Christ purchased for us. Another good 10-day time frame is May 5-15, 2005, which is the NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER through the GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER.

Timothy Snodgrass posted a 40-day fast for April 8-May 18, 2005 for the South Pacific, and for inhabitants of the Pacific coastal regions from Alaska to Argentina, and from New Zealand to the Aleutian Islands. Timothy states:

"Every major prophetic warning is followed by major signs, which have the signature of God, easy to recognize if you examine the pattern of events. Pope John Paul II was born during an eclipse on May 18, 1920 (look at the date: May 18). Only God knew in advance that Pope John Paul would be buried in Rome 84 years later, during a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2005, the beginning of the 40-day fast. Think about that for a minute: On the very day this 40-day fast was called months in advance, not only did skies darken across the South Pacific from a total eclipse, but flags were lowered around the world at half-stance from the death of John Paul II.

"This 40-day fast will end on John Paul's birthday, May 18 (Washington residents will of course recognize that date as being the anniversary of the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens). If you look closely at this pattern of events, you can only come to one conclusion: the signature of God on the fast is clearly evident, and the warning for the South Pacific is chillingly valid and time-sensitive."
