Keys to Taking Your Quantum Leap

By David Van Koevering

Years ago, as a young scientist and inventor, I worked with Dr. Bob Moog and together we gave the music world the first performance keyboards called Moog synthesizers. I learned to work with electrons and photons - tiny elements that are so small they can't be seen! Yet these invisible elements cause all electronic devices to work. This project caused me to ask the question, "Is there more to our universe than what I can perceive through my senses?"

My search to learn more about physical reality and how it works led me to discover that quantum physics identifies a large part of our universe to be non-physical. I began to realize that the universe is greater than science has discovered, or can explain. Through quantum physics and spiritual revelation, the Holy Spirit confirmed keys to understanding physical reality. As you read this article, allow the Holy Spirit to let you hear more than I say.

There is a Non-Physical Reality

My studies in quantum mechanics led me to the works of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and others. Here I learned that everything we see is part of a vast ocean of infinitesimally small subatomic particles. Under certain conditions, these subatomic structures also take on the properties of invisible waves. When I learned that these waves, or particles which make up all matter, cause that matter to blink into existence by being observed by the experimenter, I was shaken to my core.

How could it be that these invisible elements, which make up all matter, can be changed from particles to waves by how they are observed? This reality is beyond our human consciousness and our five senses. Or is it? All of these particles and/or waves appear to be connected. How can it be that every atomic and subatomic element is hooked up? Is this invisible world a part of the spiritual realm?

I suppose the duality of matter being waves or particles and how quantum mechanics attempts to explain this revolutionary idea changed me forever. It caused me to do my own research, which led to the convergence of quantum mechanics and my personal spiritual revelation. I was about to take a quantum leap!1 Corinthians 1:28 says, "...God (has) chosen...things which are not (the invisible) to bring to nought things which are (the visible)." This Scripture makes sense only when you understand it at the atomic and subatomic level. Everything is made up of atoms, which are frequencies of energy. These frequencies of energy are the voice of Jesus causing all things to be! Atoms are made up of subatomic particles, and subatomic particles are made up of superstrings (which are toroidal vortices of energy). Superstrings are tiny donut shaped packets of energy that spin at a frequency - or sing as in a pitch.

None of this is real in this dimension because they exist only in a state of possibilities until someone observes them. Then, at that observation, the potential becomes a thing - a particle or a wave. This quantum wave collapse, caused by observation, is called popping a qwiff. This is your first step to taking a quantum leap. You can see or observe a God qwiff (something God shows you that is not yet real in this dimension) and, by observing or popping that qwiff, cause that potential to become your reality. Be careful what you see; you are going to get it! Be careful what you say; you will get that, too!

Light is Slowing Down

The spiritual realm operates above the speed of light. The physical realm - this dimension - has been shaped to its current limits by the falls of both Lucifer (see Luke 10:18) and man in the Garden of Eden (see Genesis 3:7). When man fell, the speed of light slowed down. In the beginning, when God spoke the universe into existence, His entire bandwidth of glory was made physical. From His glory (all frequencies) and His voice (all frequencies expressed) all light, energy, and matter became.

It is believed that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. Physicist Barry Setterfield, mathematician Trevor Norman, and Canadian mathematician Alan Montgomery have measured light and proven that the speed of light is slowing down.

That means that light may have been ten to thirty percent faster in the time of Christ; twice as fast in the days of Solomon; and four times as fast in the days of Abraham. My friend Chuck Missler says, "That would imply that the velocity of light was more than ten million times faster prior to 3,000 B.C. This possibility would also alter our concepts of time and the age of the universe. The universe might actually be less than 10,000 years old!" That sounds like a quantum leap to me!

Before the fall, God had created one realm from gravity waves to His glory. This present human realm is up through the electromagnetic spectrum to the speed of light. The interesting point about the speed of light slowing down is that when Lucifer (the bearer of light) rebelled in Heaven and was cursed and cast down - and I believe cast down from the frequencies of God's glory - he lost his bandwidth and fell down from his spiritual consciousness. In the Garden of Eden, when mankind sinned, was cursed in the fall downward, and lost upper bandwidth and spiritual consciousness, light slowed down even more.

Other Biblical events suggest that the cosmos lost bandwidth. Noah's flood is such an example. Light slowed down to cause just the right frequencies for the rainbow (see Genesis 9:12-17). At Nimrod's Tower of Babel, mankind lost the upper bandwidth to communicate (see Genesis 11:7).
Jesus Himself told His disciples that they will get their upper bandwidth back. In John 16:13 He said, "..when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth...and He will show you things to come." Jesus is saying, "I want to show you your future. You can know My will and My plan for your life, although right now, you don't have the upper bandwidth to see or observe it. But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will give you the upper bandwidth to see things to come!"

Here is a quantum leap for someone: If you know something coming from your future, let's say a vision, a revelation, a desire, or even a creative idea, that information has to move faster than the speed of light to reach you. You can and must know your God-given assignment. Information flowing from your future possibilities is waiting for you to see - to observe - and call those things that are not as though they are. The quantum leap of knowing your purpose and assignment is waiting as a God qwiff for you to pop!

Matter is Frequency Being Spoken by Jesus

When God spoke and all the frequencies of His glory became manifest, the cosmos became! From the tiniest vibrating superstring that is causing or singing the atoms that make up the table of 103 elements, all the way through everything the Hubble telescope sees, are the vibrating frequencies of Jesus' voice.
Colossians 1:16-17 says, "For by Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible... He is before all things, and in Him all things consist (exist or are sustained)." The phrase "He is before all things" means that He is outside of our time. Jesus said to John the Revelator that He was and is the Alpha (beginning) and Omega (ending). Jesus is outside our concept of time in His eternal now and is causing all things to be.

When we consider creation and all things eternal, our false concepts regarding time and matter limit our understanding. Receive the concept that Jesus is outside of our time and calendar, looking in. He is observing. He is sustaining all things in this nanosecond (one billionth of a second) and is singing the frequencies or vibrations of your body. If He didn't, you would dissolve! Your electrons, particles, and subatomic structures are blinking in and out of existence. You think you are a solid object, but quantum mechanics has confirmed that all subatomic particles - the stuff you are made of - are blinking in and out of this reality.

Enoch was walking so closely with God in the Spirit that "he was not, for God took him" (see Genesis 5:24). Jesus simply stopped blinking Enoch into this realm! How close are you to Jesus Christ? How far away is your healing, your deliverance, or your miracle? He is close, for in Him you live and move and have your being.

In the next nanosecond, He sustains you or sings your frequency set. Understand that your healing or miracle is within the next nanosecond! In the blink of a nanosecond, He can cause your healing. Observe your healing, your miracle, your deliverance, and be filled with all Truth by observing the future God has for you. Take that quantum leap!

When we understand that we are being created in Christ by His causing, or by Him singing our song, our intimacy with Him will change. His song of creation was not something He did 16 billion years ago. He is causing you now! Because the speed of light has slowed down, because we have our upper bandwidth back, and because He is sustaining us every nanosecond, the act of creation is happening now! Take your quantum leap into His eternal now.

All Matter Has Memory - Your Words are Being Recorded

As a scientist and inventor, I have developed various memory retrieval systems. In the 1970s, I developed a laser optical music system to store sounds on silver oxide film and play the sounds back with keyboards, using modulated light beams. I was amazed when I found the Scripture in Joshua 24:27 that says, "And Joshua said unto all the people, 'Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which He spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest you deny your God.'"

Was this Old Testament quantum physicist saying that matter has memory? Is this man, who called for and observed the sun standing still in the heavens, telling us that the stone is listening? This is the man who sounded a frequency that cancelled the frequencies of matter in the walls of Jericho, thereby dissolving their atomic lattice structure with his shout and song. Did this man say the rocks are listening?

Jesus said the same thing. Joshua said the stone could record, and Jesus said in Luke 19:40 that the stones would cry out. Habakkuk 2:11 says, "For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it." I came to understand that all matter has memory. The Bible says that matter can record and it will play back. How can these things be?

As I studied both quantum theory and Scripture, revelation came. I learned that Gerald Feinberg, a physicist at Columbia University, named a certain subatomic particle, that he found in Einstein's math, after the Greek word tachys, meaning "swift." He called this superluminal particle a tachyon. This particle moved faster than light!

The tachyon is not looked upon favorably by physicists. If tachyons can be proven to exist and anything that moves faster than light can be found, scientists will have to explain how something can appear before its cause. For instance, if a scientific test was set up to look for this elusive faster-than-light tachyon, and the computer started at 12:00 noon counting forward through the test sequence, the test result wouldn't be at 12:01 or later. It would show the effect before the cause at 11:59 or earlier. Scientists don't have computers that count backwards and don't accept results that appear before the cause.

But wait. Two thirds of your Bible got to mankind before the event or cause! All prophecy is the result of facts before the event. All creativity comes before the actual physical reality! What is a vision? What is a word of knowledge? It is seeing, knowing, getting information before the causation. There is no other source of creativity than the Holy Spirit. All truth comes to man through the only source of truth we have, and that is the Holy Spirit. When you see your future, you are getting information faster than the speed of light through a means of streaming superluminal particles. The barrier of light speed is bridged from this subluminal realm to the higher bandwidth of the superluminal realm by the Holy Spirit.

Something like Gerald Feinberg's tachyon exists in all matter. It is just above, or faster than the speed of light. We know it's there because we find the results of such in the very fact of prophecy, or in the concept of words of knowledge, and even our Bible itself. These are proofs that the potential and possibilities of future promises or information is flowing to us. The superluminal tachyon-like connector exists!

That faster-than-light particle in all matter receives and remembers or records photons that shine on matter as in the photoelectric effect. Modulated photons go into all matter, reside in the vortex of superluminal faster-than-light particles, and knock electrons out. This photoelectric effect is how my modulated light musical instruments worked in the 1970s. That is how CD players and DVD players work now.

Today, it is not difficult to believe that matter has memory, because most of us have tiny memory sticks or memory cards that record or store information from our cameras and computers. Information flowing into matter and recalling it is commonplace. Photons from all light sources reflect from your body and off your belongings. Those information carrying photons go into all matter, including walls, your ring, and your watch. This information - even what we say and think - is modulating or moving through the connectedness of all atomic structures. This modulated photon goes in and electrons come out. That is why Joshua said, "This stone has heard." Every word, action, and deed done in the flesh has been recorded.

This is where yesterday went! It is all recorded in matter and will someday be played back. This is how evil and curses reside in places or things. Even though matter has recorded everything, your prayer in the name of Jesus can take the effect of Christ's blood - His blood that is eternal and beyond time - and cancel out all evil, sin, and past sin's memory from matter. Oh, that is a quantum leap for many! You can speak to and erase from places all curses and evil in Jesus' name.

Have you fixed your past? Have you removed all curses? Have you blessed the things you own? Have you blessed your house, office, car, belongings, money, computer, and phone? Are those things and places free from your past actions, words, and thoughts? You or someone else can speak a blessing or curse on your things. Somebody is about to take a quantum leap!

Seeing Your Future as God Sees it is Quantum Faith

Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is the substance. It is the invisible substance from which your physical world was and is being created by Jesus Christ. Annette Capps said, "God used faith substance and word energy to create the universe. He spoke and the vibration (sound) of His words released (caused) the substance that became the stars and planets."

God's future potential and all the promised possibilities constantly flow through the Holy Spirit into you. Noise on my circuit limits my ability to hear His voice and see His future for me. The noise in my inner man is not always sin; my noise can be my gift, my ability, even that special way I am put together and wired. I can become so busy-noisy that I am out of phase with God's voice and vision for me.

As I get quiet and become still, I can hear and see what God's future is for my reality. Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still and know that I am God..." My future comes from God's possibilities and potential. I pop God's qwiffs and my reality is! What an awesome quantum leap!

Creating Protected Places: Is Your Home Protected?

When we understand that matter has memory and that every good or evil action, word, or thought is recorded, it is our responsibility to remove, purge, and release evil memory. I'm also talking about evil memory that came to you through things you inherited. What about evil acts and words that were spoken over you? Or evil artifacts that are in many homes and places? Imagine what evil is recorded in public places, courthouses, jails, even schools, and the stuff in these places!

The Passover in the book of Exodus, chapter 12, is the story of a protected place. The blood of the Passover lamb was not put on the firstborn child. It was not applied to a person. Rather, the blood was put on the side posts and upper door posts of a place. Anoint your home, your office, your car, even public places in the name of Jesus. The Passover was an event where the children of God looked forward to their Messiah and His blood for deliverance and protection. By anointing your places and belongings with oil in the name of Jesus, you can protect them and connect our Savior's timeless blood over your places. What a quantum leap!

Elsewhen Teaching: Where Yesterday Went and Tomorrow Comes From

Elsewhen is the title of my book. This is an interesting word. Elsewhere means over there, or a place out of town, or out there somewhere. Elsewhen is your consciousness out of time here and into God's upper bandwidth of cosmic consciousness. It is to disconnect from things of this realm and become connected to ideas, visions, and input that comes directly from your Savior, Designer, and Creator.

Elsewhen is the experience of knowing without having to learn or push yourself to know. It is to so behold Jesus Himself, that you comprehend the root of wisdom through the Holy Spirit.

You herein have come to understand that there is a non-physical reality from which this universe and everything in it flows. Jesus Himself is causing your body, your spirit, and everything you have to blink into your reality. Light is slowing down and there is upper bandwidth and knowledge through the Holy Spirit. All the things of life and their purpose for you and your assignment are frequencies being spoken by Christ Himself at this very nanosecond.

Matter has memory, and you can change everything that has been recorded by what you observe, by the words you declare, or by the curses you remove and release in the name of Jesus. You can create protected places by anointing with oil and speaking blessings with your words of faith. Where will you start? What quantum leaps have come up in your spirit? You have been given a new elsewhen cosmic consciousness. Pop those God qwiffs and cause upper bandwidth to change your reality.

Chuck Pierce: Hear the Sound!

May 30, 2008

This is a time that the Lord is doing a major work in the earth. Shaking and hovering are the two words I am hearing in my spirit. I hear the Lord saying that He is hovering over New Orleans in a new way. I see Him hovering over Pittsburgh now. I see Him going up and down the Pacific coast of America and hovering. I see that He is going to begin to invade the Pacific Coast of this nation. Both sides of Mexico are being invaded by the Spirit. When I began to see this, I heard the Lord say: "There are three levels of sound I must bring through My people today. I must bring the sound of history that has caused their blood to remain flowing in Me and created the legacy of Me within the generations. I must bring forth the sound of the present that is causing their blood to come alive and producing the power in them to persevere through circumstances and endure in their trials. I must bring forth the sound of the future that will cause My people to have an expectation, an excitement of the power of My visitation and advancing glory in the earth. I'm blending these three sounds right now, in this moment, to change the course of the earth realm."

"Now is the day that I am destroying what has covered you in the past. I am lifting layers and veils from My people that have set reproaches in motion and blocked new entry ways. I will NOW rise up and cover you in a new way. My hands are clapping, so in the midst of your wreck and ruin, clap. In the midst of your emotional struggle, clap. In the midst of your home, go through and clap and decree that what is not lit will light up." It's like those "clap on" lights! All of a sudden, when you clap, a room will light up. The Spirit of God says, "Start clapping and decree the darkness that has held certain areas captive will begin to light up."

"There are many who are not even seeking Me that I'm going to meet, surprise and rearrange their lives. Call forth My hovering power over those that aren't even aware I can hover over them. In the midst of the Earth I am looking for those who will say, 'Here I am; here I am; I hear a sound calling me forth; here I am.'"

"There are sounds in the earth that you are not getting low enough to hear, and there's a groaning. All creation is groaning. Humble yourself and get low enough to hear the sound. If you will get into that humble state before Me, you will see My hovering power; you will begin to hear what the ground under you is groaning, how you need to walk, and how you need to act. Put your ear to the ground for there are now sounds in the earth that are coming into agreement with Heaven. There are sounds in the land that need to be heard. These sounds (from your iniquitous bloodline) have been deposited in the land your ancestors have walked."

"My earth has a heart that beats and you've not understood the power of creation. You have lost the beating heart of creation. Therefore, I cannot be creative in your midst. I've put My voice in every living thing, but it is your voice that rules. So in the midst of My voice groaning in other objects that can't speak, you must speak for them. I have seated you in heavenly places, but you must put your ear to the earth where you walk so that I can use you to bring into agreement, from My heavenly realm, that which I am longing to create in the earth. The deep uttered its voice and lifted its hands on high."

"At certain times, lower your head before Me in submission, and if you will do that, you will rise and come into a new place of communion. Do not keep your head raised above others at all times this week, for I am a God that will cause you to miss a certain blow, if you will stay before Me and at the right moment bend your knees, I will save you from experiencing a hit from the enemy this week."

"Recognize the sound of creation that's groaning, and let Me rise and bring your spirit man into agreement with the sound of the land and the hovering of My Spirit. I've stretched out My hand in the midst of My hovering; I am extending My hand, and though you've not known My love, look up and grab hold of that which you don't know and let Me pull you forward. Fear not the sound of the shaking. Fear not that place where I will cause you to be very aware and let you hear the shaking. Then you can announce what will shake and you will cause many to be sheltered in a new way. Rise through the wreck and the ruin and the groaning that is around you. Rise and allow My Spirit that is hovering to rest on the earth, and you be My divine connector."

Rick Joyner: "The History and Future of the Present Revival"

An extraordinary move of God is now breaking out in America. The breakout in Lakeland, Florida, has been spectacular and is growing fast. We are experiencing a breakout at our base at Heritage, which in some ways has already surpassed anything we have experienced before. It, too, seems to be growing in intensity, and people are starting to come from far distances to experience it. News about other moves of God are also beginning to show up on the spiritual radar.

What does it mean? Where is it going? What will the fruit be? These are important questions for us to address now, even though we may only be able to partially answer them. We see in part, know in part, and prophesy in part, and though we know we only have part, we need to understand that part in order to stay on course. The more we understand about what is happening now, the further we will likely go and the greater the impact will be.

As spectacular as some of the things are that we have already experienced, we are still in the embryonic stages of revival. What is breaking out actually has the potential to go beyond revival. This could be the beginning of another "Great Awakening" in America, a spiritual renewal of the country that has a radical impact on the entire nation. If we stay the course, it will result in America being positioned to help prepare the way for the coming Kingdom of God. Without this awakening, we will not survive long as a great nation, but will be reduced to a shell of the superpower that we now are. It is that important.

True revival is much more than planning a week of meetings at our local church. It is resurrection power, bringing something back to life, and that is precisely what is needed for the Church in America. Even the best churches in America need at least a renewal and a fresh move of the Holy Spirit, but most churches actually need revival--they need to be raised from the dead. Whether renewal or revival, we must embrace what the Lord is sending with the humility that will compel Him to continue extending His grace to us.

How do we embrace it? Go to Lakeland, Heritage, or go anywhere else that a breakout is happening. True revival is contagious. What is happening at Heritage was sparked by some of our students going to Lakeland, and as they were describing what they experienced in their Bible class, something like a whirlwind came into the room. Soon both of our schools, then our staff, and then parents who came to pick up their kids from school, were all caught up into what many called the most powerful presence of the Lord they had ever experienced. (Photo: Holy Spirit Breakout MorningStar Ministries)

The presence of the Lord was so strong that we had to continue with nightly meetings. Now, after more than a week, this is not abating, but is still increasing. I have had many supernatural experiences, but there have been times in these meetings when the presence of the Lord was so strong that all have been gripped by fear.

As C.S. Lewis wrote about Aslan, his personification of Christ, "He is not a tame lion." Just when we think the anointing is fading, the strongest wave of all would come and stagger us. Most of our team has experienced a lot, and have been in many previous revivals, renewals, and moves of God, but it is a bit scary to see them so scared when He comes the way He has been here. Even when the building is empty, there is a presence that sends chills down your back. We have had this many times, but not on this level. This really is different.

What is going on here at Heritage seems to be contagious as well. We are hearing reports of people receiving emails about it, or in some cases, cell phone calls from Heritage, and they get smitten by the power of God, and something breaks out where they are. It is like coals of fire being thrown on dry wood.

Get the DNA

We do not have to understand revival in order to receive it any more than we have to understand electricity to turn the lights on. However, if we understand what is happening and why, we are more likely to have it sustained and to stay on track. Because the DNA is set at conception, we need to discern the DNA of what is now breaking out. Again, I do not presume to have the whole picture, but I have been shown part of it, and it is very important that we understand this part now.

I have studied revivals and moves of God for more than thirty years. I have tried to understand every major move of God and revival in history. It is my conclusion that if the leaders had understood the principles and patterns that we can see in each one, they would likely have lasted much longer and had an even greater impact than they did. I have only taught about some of these principles one time, but last week when I heard about what was breaking out at Heritage I shared them where I was speaking at a WhiteDove Conference in Mobile, Alabama. I have never written about them, but will share them with you in Special Bulletins over the next couple of weeks. I think you will agree that they are crucial for us to understand and can help any move of God from being diverted by the multitude of potential diversions that will surely come. Some of the principles I will be sharing here have been taught and written about by previous leaders of great revivals and are what they learned in hindsight, which is usually 20/20 vision. As they often said, if they had known these principles before the revival, it would have likely lasted much longer. If we humble ourselves and learn from our fathers and mothers, we can have that insight and what is happening can last much longer.

What is breaking out at Lakeland and Heritage is just the beginning of a move of God that has the potential to impact every city and town in the United States and Canada and then arc over to Europe. Before this is over, it will have made the news in possibly every nation on earth, but even more importantly, it will have impacted the worldwide Body of Christ and will actually give birth to new nations. It is the beginning of something that big. (Photo: Holy Spirit Breakout MorningStar Ministries)

Timing

What is happening now may not be the actual birth of this revival, but at the very least it is a powerful spiritual contraction or birth pang. As a mother gets closer to the birth, the contractions become both more frequent and intense. In our home congregation based in Fort Mill, South Carolina, just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, at the former PTL property, we have experienced these spiritual birth pangs for about a dozen years. They have been becoming more intense and more frequent, but this latest one seems by far the strongest yet. Even so, we are not ready to call it the revival we are expecting. If this is not the actual birth of the revival that has been prophesied to come to Charlotte for over half a century, it is a spiritual contraction of such magnitude that the birth of the revival itself must be close.

Over the years, we have had time to process the spiritual contractions and seek the Lord for greater understanding of what is coming here. It was prophesied the year before Billy Graham gave his life to the Lord that a revival would break out in Charlotte that would touch the nations. This prophecy has been confirmed and repeated often. I have talked with those who were there when this prophecy was first given, and it was their conviction that Billy Graham was just the seed of what was to come.

We need to understand Billy Graham and his ministry because it is part of the DNA of what is coming. Billy Graham is probably the greatest evangelist of the twentieth century. The spiritual DNA that he carried and imparted is a grace, dignity, and integrity that will enable the world to be able to trust what is now coming upon the earth. At about the same time as Billy Graham's ministry was beginning, the Healing Revival broke out in America, and the nation of Israel was born. We need to understand the purpose in all three of these.

A Dream of Revival

In 2007, I was given a dream in which I was told by the Lord that if we would honor the fathers, He would send revival to America within six months. I knew this dream was from the Lord and that the promise was sure. Revival is coming to America. If what we are now experiencing is not revival, it is the forerunner for something even more awesome. Even if what is happening now fades, it is evidence of how near true revival is. If the present outbreaks seem to settle down, it is to give us a brief rest before what is coming breaks out, allowing time to get prepared for it.

I was shown that the reason the Lord linked honoring the fathers to bringing revival to America was because it was by the dishonoring of fathers and fatherhood that a major gate of hell was opened into America. Many forms of evil were released into America through this one gate, and it can only be closed by recovering the basic devotion to honor fathers.

The commandment to honor our fathers and mothers is the only commandment with a promise and that promise is longevity--that we would dwell long in the land that the Lord has given to us (see Deuteronomy 5:16). The very longevity of America, in fact its continued existence, is dependent on us recovering and obeying this commandment. America's purpose as a nation requires strong, resolute leadership for which a strong fabric of fatherhood is required. The recovery of honoring the mothers is also essential, which I will discuss at a later time, especially for shutting the gate of hell that abortion has come through. However, even that gate of hell was opened by the attack on fatherhood, and this is the first issue we must address.

In Deuteronomy and Ephesians where this commandment is repeated, it is added that this must be done so that "it may be well with you" (see Deuteronomy 5:16 and Ephesians 6:2). In fact, a major reason why things have not been going well with us has been the failure to honor our fathers and mothers, and in the case of fathers, to tolerate the dishonoring of them. If we will repent and recover this basic devotion, we are promised that it will begin to go well with us again. Our best times as a nation can yet be in the future. This is also even more true of the Church in America. The greatest revival, awakening, or move of God in America's history is coming. If it is allowed to go its course and to do the work it is being sent to do, the Church in America will not only be left much stronger and much bigger than it has ever been, it will be a major gateway for the coming of the Kingdom of God.

Many might immediately think that their father is not worthy to be honored. The commandment says nothing about honoring fathers and mothers who are worthy of honor, who are great fathers or even good ones. It just says to honor our fathers and mothers, good ones, bad ones, absent ones--it does not matter. If we have been blessed with good ones, we are blessed, but if we have had bad ones, then our reward for honoring them can be even greater. We must resolve to do this to honor our Father in Heaven.

Unprecedented Healing Ministries

In my dream, I was then shown some of the fathers that we were to honor, and they were all from the Healing Revival of the 1940s and 50s. In many ways, this movement was probably the most spectacular for healing and miracles since the first century. Many who were a part of this revival have said that at times it exceeded what is recorded in the Book of Acts, and some of the remarkable miracles do seem to have been unprecedented. As stated, in my dream I was told to honor these fathers so that revival could come to America, and that if we did, revival would be released within six months.

The only one from the Healing Revival that I recognized was Oral Roberts. There were others who were noteworthy evangelists in the dream, and since I could not tell who they were, I resolved to try to honor all of them, even those who we might not think were that honorable. Again, the commandment does not say to only honor honorable ones, but "fathers." Some who may have been sidetracked in various ways must still be honored.

We decided to host an Honoring the Fathers Conference with WhiteDove Ministries because Paul Keith Davis has devoted years to studying the Healing Revival, and more than anyone else I know, honored those who ministered in it. Paul Keith was not ignorant of the mistakes that were made, but he obeyed the Biblical exhortation to "test all things; hold fast what is good" (see I Thessalonians 5:21), not what was bad. Like a good son, he tried to cover the nakedness of those who had failures, not to hide anything, but because this is right for a son to do. Paul Keith is at least a grandson of that revival.

In the weeks leading up to the conference, we began to sense this may be the most important conference we had ever hosted, and by the end of the first meeting it was obvious that this was right. Even so, we never presumed that hosting this conference was all that we needed to do to honor the fathers, and therefore bring revival, but something significant was unquestionably released by this conference.

We have a number of examples in Scripture of the Lord taking what seems like the smallest token of repentance and accepting it so that He could restore or bless Israel. We believe the Honoring the Fathers Conference touched the Father in a way that there has been extraordinary grace on every gathering we have had from leadership meetings, business meetings, the Women's Conference, staff chapels, and our local church meetings since then. During some, there was such an amazing grace it felt that revival was already on us.

Then last week there was the breakthrough that overflowed. Authentic deliverances, healings, miracles, and a mighty sense of the presence of the Lord broke out and just could not be contained. Some of our high school students, who had become serious concerns and were on the list not to be accepted back at the school next year, have been in the forefront of the breakout, radically changed and praying for others to be touched. In a day, they went from serious backsliders to leaders of revival, and it was real.

Robin McMillan, who is no stranger to revivals and renewal, said the presence of God was as strong as anything he had ever experienced. At MorningStar, we have experienced some very remarkable and supernatural visitations, probably the most famous of which was a pillar of cloud that appeared in the middle of the stage during our first Worship and Warfare Conference, which was witnessed by more than two thousand people. We have had many other visitations of various types, some of which were quite spectacular, but there is something different about what is happening now. I think it has the potential to go far beyond anything we have ever experienced.

However, I am not ready to call it a revival, but it is no doubt a visitation. If it is not the beginning of an authentic revival, it is a birth pang on the level that it would be hard to imagine anything more without the birth of a true, authentic revival. We do have some prophetic indications that as strong as this is, the real birth will come this fall. We are therefore resolved to ride this wave as long as it is moving, but if it stops, we will too. We will then seek to learn everything we can from this powerful contraction and get ready for what I expect to be the most powerful move of God any of us have ever seen.

There is great joy in what we are now experiencing, but at times the presence of God has been so strong that a holy terror seems to fall on the people. The testimonies of the healings and miracles are great, but some of the people, who have been so dramatically changed, even to the point of seeming entirely different, are the greatest miracles to some people. We have a number of people, who with years of teaching and preaching, seemed to have little impact, but were changed in one meeting more radically than we considered possible or at least probable.

I can see a level of change on many people and radical change on some. The glory does change people, and sometimes one encounter with the Lord for one minute can change people more than years of preaching. However, preaching and teaching are gifts of God, and though they may not change people as spectacularly or as fast, they are a part of the essential Christian diet for a healthy Christian life.

Unnecessary Consequences

A little discussed fact about revivals is that almost every church that hosts a revival is left smaller, weaker, and sometimes devastated when it is over. It is not supposed to be that way. However, without good planning and good leadership, it almost certainly will. We must understand why this happens and what we need to do to prevent it.

Even if the host church is seriously weakened by revival or even devastated, the revival is probably still worth it. Souls are saved, and many Christians are encouraged and strengthened by revival, which results in the most powerful and effective evangelistic force being released--encouraged Christians. However, with planning and leadership, the host church should be left much stronger after a revival. Now is the time to resolve to turn this around. If we do, the revival will last longer, be much more fruitful, and have a much more positive legacy.

We will address these important issues and more in upcoming Special Bulletins. This is real, and it is going to spread. If we are properly prepared and positioned, it will carry the Church a long way forward. If we are not prepared, the wave that carries others forward will be a big problem for us. To ride a wave, we need to discern where the waves will be breaking, position ourselves there, and be moving in the right direction when it comes. Ride this wave. It is a big one, and it will carry us a long way.
