God Is Still Moving In America

We are beginning our third week of hosting the Holy Spirit to make an opportunity for this wonderful outpouring to grow and spread in the Northwest. Last week again God was faithful to heal and save people. Hungry pastors and leaders are coming, as well as saints from all backgrounds, even some who don't yet know Christ. Some are in much need of healing in soul and body. We are not at the levels of Lakeland yet, where there are reports of the dead being raised on the south and east coast. Certainly, we are not ready to move into a stadium. But at times, the presence of God with the manifestation of His love and goodness is overwhelming.
On Saturday night, I received this prophetic word in the meeting:
"America has been called the breadbasket of the world for decades. But now some are mocking, saying, 'Look at the dollar, look at her government.' But I will not forget your generosity America or your sacrifice and prayers. Even as you have given away your bread to help the poor and oppressed of this world, I will rain down the bread of Heaven upon you. This is your time, America. I will pour out so much of the bread of Heaven upon you, that it will be like the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. There will be enough for you and much left over to give away to the nations again in a massive worldwide missionary movement with healing, signs and wonders. Rejoice America, this is your time."
I don't have a transcript, but this is what is still in my spirit. We want to quickly see this become an "all saints move of the Spirit." So we are planning on doing "equipping meetings" for all who are local and those who come to stay over at a later time. We will likely have a Thursday through Saturday schedule for a while, and equip the saints on Friday and Saturday mornings with "teaching, impartation and activation" if we keep going. Those who are local, who want to get involved with us in the meetings to pray for the sick, must have a letter of recommendation from a pastor (whether a cell congregation or more traditional congregation), and must have been to at least three meetings to be considered for the healing team once we start the equipping meetings.
What is happening is truly transferable. We have had several reports of people coming to the meetings here (as well as what has been happening in Lakeland), where the saints are boldly taking it outside the church. One young man and a friend are now healing the sick in a store in Portland with the proprietor's blessing. God is on the move. Isaiah 55 says, “Is anyone thirsty? Let him come and buy without money."
There have been around 25 people who received Christ in the last two weekends, and you can view healing testimonies on our website (click here to view). There is much more happening than what we have been able to get by interview. So if you have had a healing or life-changing event through these special meetings, please contact me at denny@vcfalbany.org.
Our meeting schedules and times follow below.
