"THE WALL HAS BROKEN:

A WORD TO THE EAST COAST"

Joel 2:21-28" Don't be afraid, my people. Be glad now and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things. 22 Don't be afraid, you animals of the field, for the wilderness pastures will soon be green. The trees will again be filled with fruit; fig trees and grapevines will be loaded down once more. 23 Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem! Rejoice in the Lord your God! For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness. Once more the autumn rains will come, as well as the rains of spring. 24 The threshing floors will again be piled high with grain, and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil. 25 The Lord says, "I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you. 26 Once again you will have all the food you want, and you will praise the Lord your God, who does these miracles for you. Never again will my people be disgraced. 27 Then you will know that I am among my people Israel, that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other. Never again will my people be disgraced. 28 "Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. NLT

As I was in church this past Sunday, the Lord began to speak this word to me. The Holy Spirit moved in a great way on Sunday. There was a sense of excitement, anticipation, and longing for more of what God has in store in the days ahead. Before I share what the Lord shared with me on Sunday, let me go back a few weeks and share with you what the Lord showed me.

A few weeks ago the Lord gave me a vision of the east coast. What led up to the vision was a question that I asked the Lord. I've read different prophetic words over the years, some saying that there is going to be a move of God that started in the north and moved south, others said it was going to start in the south and move north. This bothered me for a while because I thought surely these people prophesying these things can't be all wrong so I asked the Lord, "Which is it? Is it going to start in the north and move south or start in the south and move north?" His answer was simple; it was, "Yes." He then gave me a vision of a tidal wave. One that was starting at the southernmost tip of Florida and moving north, and one starting in the northernmost tip of Maine and moving south. What He shared with me is that it's going to start in both the north and the south and the wave is going to grow closer and closer together and when the two waves join as one it will sweep from east to west and we will see the greatest move of God this nation has ever seen. What He also shared with me as part of this is that He is sending people from the north to go south and from the south to go north with the purpose of making connections between the two. The east coast has a negative reputation when you speak of the north and the south. It has a reputation of division but the Lord says "I'm going to change the reputation, there is going to be a coming together of the north and the south and it will be known for unity."

Now, back to Sunday. What I witnessed Sunday in church was an excitement like I've not seen in a long time. The altars were filled with people that were excited and hungry for more of God. As I sat back and took it all in, the Lord spoke a very simple word, "The wall has broken, it's broken in the south and it's broken in the north." What I saw was that same tidal wave in the north and the same one in the south but there was a wall holding it back. I then saw the wall break and the water begin to flood. So, to go back to the tidal waves that the Lord spoke to me about a few weeks ago, those have now formed in the north and in the south. The wall holding them back has been broken and I believe Sunday was the starting point of that. I don't know what took place in Maine on Sunday, I haven't talked to anyone about it but the same vision I received for the south, I also received for the north.

I know we've heard about these types of things for years and it's easy to question or wonder if it's ever going to happen but I believe very strongly it has started and it's now going to happen quicker than you think. There's a Joel chapter two miracle about to take place where the former and latter rains come together and restoration and repayment takes place. Sons and daughters will prophesy, old men will dream dreams and young men will see visions.

I know releasing words like these opens yourself up for criticism and debate but I can assure you this is a word from the Lord. East coast, get ready, the wall has broken and the wave is being formed. We need to get in the mind set of our church services no longer being business as usual. We need to be open to the Holy Spirit interrupting our plans and completely turning our order of service inside out and upside down. It's time for restoration, it's time for repayment, and it's time for God to move upon this nation in a way we have never heard about, read about or even seen. Ready or not, here it comes!
