Dutch Sheets and Will Ford
Prophecy About: "The Month of July"
Forward
by Dutch Sheets:
My dear friend and brother, Will Ford, was given a very
significant dream in January of this year. We have waited until now to release the dream
and our interpretation because it concerns the month of July. Here it is in Will's own words.

Basketball
Court Dream
In January 2006, I had an important dream during the Samuel
Alito judicial hearings for the Supreme Court. In the dream, I was playing in a marathon
basketball game. The gym was dimly lit, with very little light on the court to see the basketball
goal. Both teams were worn out from this raging battle as we engaged in this long, arduous
basketball game. The game had been played for so long, the score was tied at "706." I was
very sleepy and tired in the dream, and suddenly the ball was passed to me. I went to make
a lay-up (which is an easy shot), but I was so tired, I only had enough strength to hit the
bottom of the rim. I missed the shot, fell into a sleeping bag, and immediately went to sleep
on the court. The dream ended.
Dream Interpretation
Because of prior references in other dreams, I knew that
God was using the basketball court to symbolize the Supreme Court. The condition of the court
battle in the dream, symbolizes where many feel we are right now.
We are in a raging battle on the courts of America. The
court was dimly lit in the dream, which represents the prevailing dark influence, but also
the penetration of some light that has come through prayer. The climate on the court will
shift from dark to light if we continue to stay engaged in the fight.
Though the battle rages, and it seems we are playing
in the dark, God wants us to trust Him, stay alert, and press in. We must walk by faith,
not by sight, and with the light we have to stay focused on our goal: Justice for the unborn.
It's not time to faint or sleep on the importance of this court battle. If we awake and
fight, I believe God will shine His light on our court system and pierce the darkness of
deception.
At first, I thought the marathon battle had to do with averting a filibuster (a marathon debate)
in Sam Alito's judicial hearings. I then spoke to Dutch Sheets, who I believe God gave a key
interpretation for the dream.
Dutch Sheets Adds His Dream
Interpretation
Dutch affirmed that this dream represented the Supreme Court,
but it wasn't about the Alito hearings being filibustered, but referred to another battle
on the Supreme Court to come. What stood out to Dutch was the 706 in this dream. After a
week of prayer, Dutch called me back and said, "Will, it could be that the '706' represents
the 7th month of July, this year, '06".
Dutch has felt for some time, as have others, that another
Justice will resign this summer. If this happens in July, and it is a liberal Justice who
resigns, there will be a 4-4 tie on the Court. The Court would be tied at 7-06. If this occurs
and President Bush has an opportunity to appoint a 3rd justice, it could turn into a raging,
drawn-out marathon battle. Those resisting this Justice may try to drag out hearings until
the midterm elections in order to vote-out the pro-life majority in the senate. This is an
important aspect to cover in prayer.
Could it be that God wants to break the tie in July on
the Supreme Court by appointing another judge to the Supreme Court? This could very well
be the case.
July is an Active Month
Though this dream and Dutch's interpretation came in January
of this year, other major secular news outlets have reported in recent months, that many
feel another Justice may step down this summer. Most Justices announce this in July, to provide
ample time for their replacement to come. You may recall the previous dream God gave me about
the courts and Sandra Day O'Conner, who, after the dream, surprised many by announcing her
retirement on July 1st of 2005.
Also, it turns out that Attorney Allen Parker, is filing briefings regarding the landmark abortion
case "Doe v. Bolton" in July of 2006, instead of June, which he feels is better timing. Most
people are not as familiar with this case, as they are with Roe v. Wade.
A dear intercessor and friend of mine from Dallas, had a
dream where a woman named Sandra Cano, approached her in tears in the dream and said, "My
case is coming before the Supreme Court, but no one is praying. Will you stand with me when
my case comes to the dock (Supreme Court)?"
Not knowing who Sandra Cano was, she later found out that Sandra Cano is the
"Doe" in Doe v. Bolton! Sandra is a committed Christian, devoted to seeing the end of legalized
abortion, and her case overturned.
Summer of Justice
Whether it is both of these issues, or all of them, beloved,
this is the summer for Justice. Whether God shifts the court through another appointment,
or shifts it through changing the mindsets of judges or both, we must awake and walk by
faith, not by sight, and trust God in this raging battle.
Recently, after sharing this dream at a conference, Kirk
Bennet gave me the following Scripture which I believe coincides with the "706" theme regarding
the courts. It is Psalm 7:6, "Arise, O LORD, in your anger; rise
up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice."
In the same month we celebrate our nation's freedom,
I believe God wants to set the stage for freedom to come to the next generation.
Can awakened intercessors awaken God to battle, and shift our courts once again? Yes, we can!
However, we cannot allow opinion polls and other media clutter to darken our focus. Let's
refocus on one of the major goals the Lord has for this President: Shifting the courts of this
nation for the ending of abortion.
Many of us have grown weary, but let us show up for the
battle and contend in prayer. God will exchange our weakness for His strength, and He will
fight for us, (Isaiah 33:22).
This summer is key! We need to pray regarding decisions
made on and off the court by our Justices this summer. We must continue praying until the
prevailing influence shifts from darkness to light in the judicial system overall.
Basketball Court Above the Supreme Court
I was recently reminded that there is literally a basketball
court above the chambers where the Supreme Court Justices meet. In this gym, there is a light
that comes on to let them know when the court is in session, so they don't disturb the court
proceedings below. The actual nickname for this court is, "The highest court in the land."
This is an awesome reminder that spiritually, there is a
court above the Supreme Court, but it is the Court of Heaven, where the Judge of the Universe
and His Son, our Advocate, release justice on behalf of the saints!
May the light from His court, which is the Highest Court
in the Land, break the power of the dark prevailing influence in our courts through our
intercession. The cry of our hearts this summer must be "...Awake,
my God, decree justice." (Psalm 7:6).
