Jess's prophetic history part 2

In this series, I am putting parts of my prophetic history on-line. This is the second installment. First, I want to share a scriptures...


Acts 4:29-30 "Now Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak you word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus."

The context of this prayer was that God had just released a notable miracle when the lame man at the temple gate was healed. It caused a massive stir in the city to where the religious leaders arrested John and Peter, beat them, and threatened them further. Meanwhile, the number of disciples multiplied as the result of that miracle in Jerusalem.

The apostles knew that if God answered their prayer for miracles. persecution and trouble would greatly multiply. (This is in deep contrast to hidden motive on why many ask for power today...seeing the wealth and honor that also comes with this type of anointing)However, the apostles also knew if God answered their prayer, multitudes would turn and follow Jesus. To the apostles, the trade-off of greater trouble and pain for more souls being saved was a GREAT deal because they loved Jesus and his people so much.

STORIES

Miraculous signs and wonders are part of the Church's birth right. My first encounter with the prophetic/supernatural dimensions of God came immediately after I gave my life to Jesus on July 16th, 1990. Later than evening, Grant prophesied that God wanted to do some powerful things the next night (July 17th).

The next night, Greg Berglund preached on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Not having a clue what this was about (Who's the Holy's Spirit?), I was the only kid to go up front for a little bit of an experiment. They prayed for me (expecting me to speak in tongues or something...) nothing happened. I then prayed for a lady who's arms were unequal by 5 inches because of a serious shoulder injury (not having a clue what I was doing). In front of everyone at the camp, her arm suddenly grew out by God's power, causing Holy hyperactivity to burst forth. Over the next 2 years, between 100-200+ students came to Christ in these youth groups of the 4 churches present at the camp.

MAY 2004...
I was pacing back and forth in the back of the prayer room. I sensed the tender presence of the Holy Spirit. I felt the Holy Spirit whisper to me: "This summer, I will begin to release the flood of signs, wonders, and miracles in your life. Like a small stream growing into a mighty river, so shall My Glory come like a flood. Watch the river as I flood it with mercy and grace. Even as the river will flood in the natural, so I will flood your life with My Glory"

That evening I had an INTENSE prophetic dream. (While I was aware there was thunder and lightning outside.)
I dreamt that Many Warner(someone on the worship team I was on at that time) was heavily anointed by God. She went over to Rick and prayed for Him. He went down under the power sobbing. Then someone laid their hands on my back three separate times. Once on my lower back, once on my the middle of my back, and once on the upper back/ back of my head. Each time, fiery pain shot through my body, the most intense being the third time. The third time affected my manhood identity and other things. In the midst of the third time, I was worshipping God.

Suddenly, God picked me out in the midst of darkness and I felt a strong wind right in my face. God was blowing on my face! I was immediately caught up in the Spirit. The voice said, “Feel the wind of the Spirit. I am taking you higher and higher.” I then said something like, “My first priority is to share this with others right?” He then turned and with a majestic, still, small kind voice said, “Your first priority is ME. As a gift, I am giving you this prophetic dream.”

The next morning I go into the 5:30 AM briefing and Mandy warner is all excited telling all of us about her dream. She talked about me in this dream and I was writhing in pain as if I was having back surgery. (I didn't share the dream I had.)

Later that afternoon, I took a friend to the airport. On returning home, I was going down Red Bridge about to cross over the Blue River. To my surprise, the road was closed because of flood waters. Over 5 inches of rain had fallen upstream in the river basin. I later heard that one of the IHOP-KC staff almost got swept away in her vehicle because the water rose so dramatically!

April 2008;
On March 31st, God gave me an open vision experience in the midst of praying in tongues. In it the Spirit said loudly, "You have not yet touched the Spirit of Grace and supplication I am willing to give this generation." I wrote about it in an earlier blog entry this last month. Scriptures associated with this experience were Zechariah 12:10-12; Luke 22:43-44; and others. This was to set up another encounter with God a few weeks later:

April 17th, 2008 I have a very vivid dream where I was at Redeeming Love Church decorating the wall. the Holy Spirit visited me and says, "I am Jehovah Rapha, no disease known to man will stand before me. Some other things happen in this dream and the Holy Spirit gives me a mantle saying, "You must not lose this mantle." This is in context to the priestly function of the people being their primary identity; not apostle, prophet, or a so called "title". The next day, (April 18th), Todd Bentley prophesies about the healing anointing/widespread signs and wonders coming to Kansas City next!

So far, I have only seen a trickle of the miraculous power of God in both healing miracles and other answers to prayer. However, I believe God intends to send a flood of miraculous signs and wonders in the days ahead.
