"So they shall fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for He will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the LORD drives." (ESV)
"So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him." (King James Bible)
~~~ Another Wave is Coming! ~~~
1. Physical Waves - Signs of the times
At my temp job this past Sunday -a care-giving job for an nice elderly man living in the OC - He decided to watch the weather channel all day. Then a show called Hurricane 360 came on and it was showing stories of different hurricanes, following the lives of some individuals/families who were affected... some who survived some who didn't :( I watched the one about Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast that happened last year, last summer I think... it was really crazy to watch what actually took place during Sandy, a more in depth look than what we see on the news. Some people decided to ignore the warnings to evacuate their homes... they thought that they could handle the winds... Some lived had beachfront houses like this one older woman who decided to stay home to watch the storm and by the time she realized that the waves were too high it was too late to escape but thankfully she was rescued though water had filled the whole first floor of the house. Many people who found themselves in that situation said they underestimated the power of the waves even for those who weren't living right on the beach... the water still flowed with great forces into the low parts of the land, sweeping anyone and anything in it's course along with it. It was great to hear about how some of the people who were caught up in Sandy survived and how some others rescued others to safety, but it was sad to hear the stories from family members of those who didn't survive :( For one guy his family survived and it inspired him to help out in the relief of his community.
Then another show came on I think it was called, "Do you think you'd survive?" It was showing different scenarios then showing some test questions asking the audience what they think would be best to do in those situations. Then at the end of the program the guy said, "This is when, like they say, "It's time to be prepared." Then he went ahead to talk about having emergency kits (2 weeks of water, 2 weeks of non-perishable food items), a battery powered radio to get local news. "The way to survive an earthquake is to be ready for it." Drop, cover and hold on.
So when I watched all this I knew that I was seeing it for a reason... A few weeks ago
it reminded me of the prophecies of the revival coming to the California and the West Coast... not just prophecies from other people but the urgency that I felt in my spirit ever since God woke me up that one time at the Pre-Fall Leaders Retreat. I remembered that last year this one guy, Samuel from the Circuit Riders came to IV and shared that a huge wave of revival is about to sweep across America from the West Coast... a wave of revival, reformation and revolution and it would literally shake the foundations of the earth... a wave of revival followed by a huge earthquake (seismic waves) and also a literal water wave... a tsunami. And in this great awakening 1 billion souls will enter into the Kingdom of God and the sending out of 200,000 into the nations to spread the fire. Want more exciting news?? It's TIME! Let's get ready!
So there was no earthquake forecast? Yes there's been many prophesies of a mega-earthquake coming to the West Coast I saw lots in the year 2012 especially... and people didn't take them seriously especially coz of that year "2012" but this year 2014 there've been many tremors in California... remember the tremors that hit L.A and the O.C during Spring Break? ... also just a few days before the first of the blood moon tetrads. So anyway after the many tremors they said that California should get ready for a huge one. There was another one that happened in North Cal this summer and caused some building damage. I'll share some links below... Also it's not just prophets on youtube on the other side of the globe who foresee a huge earthquake/ wave also ordinary people. I remember back in 2012 Charity told me she had a dream that she was at the beach with her brother then she saw a huge wave coming towards them then they started running away from it... Also when Kim came to visit me in the Spring or was it Winter? the weekend after the mini-wave hit Santa Barbara she had told me that she actually had a dream about that before it happened and also that God told her mum that a huge earthquake is coming to Cali.
So what's all this about? Am I trying to scare you? Or what's the point? The point, like a weather forecast, is to be prepared. It's important to know the time... The hour is urgent.
‘“As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.”’ (Matthew 24:3-8)
Jesus and the Bible foresee such things happening during the end-times. But it's also in connection with the state of our generation in such times. Isaiah 59 came up the other day multiple times - when I read the Bible for myself, through my sisters (one in Kenya and one here)... and it was really convicting to me. Read the whole thing, I'll highlight the verses 12-20 below:
"For our offenses are many in your sight,
and our sins testify against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:
rebellion and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,
uttering lies our hearts have conceived.
So justice is driven back,
and righteousness stands at a distance;
truth has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
Truth is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
so his own arm achieved salvation for him,
and his own righteousness sustained him.
He put on righteousness as his breastplate,
and the helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments of vengeance
and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.
According to what they have done,
so will he repay
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands their due.
From the west, people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory.
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath of the Lord drives along.
“The Redeemer will come to Zion,
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”
declares the Lord."

2. SPIRITUAL WAVE: POWER INVASION. LOVE REVOLUTION
THE CALL BERKELEY: OCTOBER 4TH - DAY OF ATONEMENT on Hebrew Calendar
My friend Brittany, invited me to The Call over the summer and I was excited when I read about it:
"All of our story lines are coming together, and church in Berkeley has a major part in it! We believe that from Berkeley the Lord will release another wave of awakening across America!
In 1964, a movement began at UC Berkeley where thousands of students gathered to protest the status quo of their day: The Free Speech Movement. This gathering spawned a movement across the United States, where an entire generation of young people began to turn completely away from their fathers and the God of their fathers in order to seek freedom. “Free love,” “free sex,” and “free drugs,” became the maxims of the day, as this riot in Berkeley birthed the Summer of Love, and ideologies that would shift the nation.
50 years later, we are coming back to the root of the rebellion to Berkeley, CA, believing that God will release Jubilee and a new Jesus Movement over America. We believe that He will turn the tides of rebellion as the Body of Christ gathers for a day of prayer to apply the Blood of the Lamb over the sins of the nation. Join Lou Engle and The Call team on Saturday, October 4th at UC Berkeley." More info: The Call 2014
I have to go... sorry again coz I'm super-behind blogging... Just wanted to get this info out there before the weekend starts. Let's return to the father! He hears us when we call. Yay! =D =D

"Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time." (Acts 3:20)
As for the order of whether the spiritual wave or physical waves will come first... I don't know... But what God was showing me through past revivals that there is a correlation between spiritual activity with the natural... and the physical waves that are coming will not just be out of judgement but also mercy... as WAKE UP CALL to repent before it's too late for all of us. But this is HOPE that we can turn to Him now before stuff changes, and in Him there is security, peace and rest. He is unchanging and has great plans for us in this new season we've gone into. Blessings and peace rest on us!
