Dear Friends,
I just wanted to send out an up-date to the email I sent in February 2009, on John Paul's video "The Coming Perfect Storm"
For those of you who have not seen it. You can watch all 3 episodes here: http://www.streamsministries.com/index.php?page=videos
First let me say, that we are a part of an unshakeable Kingdom
Hebrews 12:28 29 declares:Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.
2 Timothy 1:7 promises: For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Carolyn and I have been praying about “The Coming Perfect Storm” with so many different voices out there saying so many different things, we have asked the Lord in prayer to speak to us concerning the time we are in as a Nation. Scripture is very clear that no one knows the day or the hour. Matthew: 36-38 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. But, Jesus also told the disciples that we could discern the seasons. Matthew 24: 32-33 Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!
My heart in this email is not to convince you or bring a spirit of fear, but to communicate to you what we have been hearing from the Lord, and it might confirm what he has been speaking to you. I believe in this time, we need the Body of Christ to function as the body, and there is not one person who receives all the revelation, each one of us gets fragments or pieces. So, please take the things that I have shared in this email before the Lord.
In February I was in San Robles California ministering at Ken & Teresa Hoffert’s church. When I got off the plane I received and email from Jon Ward sharing a dream his daughter had that night. She is 12 years old.
Emily’s Dream: I had a dream that I was in an old theater, & thousands of people including John Paul Jackson, Ken, Recie, & Heidi Baker were crowded into it. The people I knew sat in the front row, I sat in the second.
Once everyone sat down, the theater went dark and a light appeared on a stage. Jesus was on the stage and started speaking. "We will now begin, everyone." He shouted so everyone could hear, "This is a bad time, I know, but fear not. You and your families are fortunate; I have prepared you for this storm. Others will not know what hit them. Our Father has made this storm for a reason, you will lead more to Me than you ever did and can imagine. Let me give you an example."
He brought out a painting, which was all chaos except for 1 person who had what looked like a bubble of light. "This painting is an example of what the world will be. You and your families will be in this bubble of light!" People will look at the light and find that it is good; they will try to find it in every market, every store. Finally coming to you asking, "where do you find this light?" And you will tell them "It is only in Jesus". I give it to you, to draw people to Me. I will put you like sheep among the wolves. Be prepared- many will try to pop your bubble. Have faith and don't let their lies get in your head!" "Thank you and good-bye"
Wow! What a powerful dream from a little 12 year old girl. When I read the email I was shocked because it was right in line with what John Paul just released in a letter about “The Coming Perfect Storm” the dream said,
"This is a bad time, I know, but fear not. You and your families are fortunate; I have prepared you for this storm. Others will not know what hit them. Our Father has made this storm for a reason, you will lead more to Me than you ever did and can imagine” We have to trust that even in the mist of bad times.. God has prepared us for this storm and we will see more people come to know the knowledge of Jesus Christ. The dream also says that many Christians will not know what hit them and will be unprepared. We need to be there and help our brothers and sisters through this time.
Here is an email I received on April 3rd.
I am writing this e mail seeking help for my 6 year old son. Recently he has begun to experience things that I do not have the knowledge and assistance to help him with. He is afraid to go outside, because he hears the sound of bombs dropping. He is terrified of President Obama on television, saying “He is going to hurt us". Understand we are not overtly political people and there is no frame of reference for him to think this. He is also praying for God to take him to heaven. He is afraid of what is going to happen here and wants to be in Heaven. Every day he prays for god to take him NOW, knowing that he will not see his family any longer. He also talks about a war going on; he looks off in the distance and says there is a war going on over there. I do not know where this is coming from, what is happening to him and how to help him. A pastor friend recommended that I visit your web site. I am not sure who responds to this email, but we are desperate for someone to guide and direct us. Someone referred us to a website about Crystal Children, but it was extremely new age and did not line up with our theology. Please if you can offer us any advise, please contact us. Blessings to you and your ministry.
I sent this email to John Paul and here is his response: (I thought this would be helpful to add, lots of wisdom here)
This is difficult. The child is gifted, but how to handle the gift and the child involves the personality God has given the Child. That is very hard to do long distance. The parents must become confident that they have been chosen by God to parent this child. They are not lacking in ability - they may be lacking in understanding, but aren't we all? God felt they could, with the help of those he has put around them, to lead this child to the greatest purpose for which God created this child. If the parents 'fear failure', that fear will translate to the child as 'fear of tomorrow' and the child's fear will become worse.
Over all the parents must convince the child of:
God really loves them
The family needs him (the child)
God will use the child to help the family and others
What they see is not here yet
God will protect them
God will prepare them
God will lead them to safety
This gift will help many others.
So to sum it up, build security in the Child
Build purpose in the Child
There is more, but the specific nature of the child would dictate how to proceed from this point.
John Paul's advice above could be applied to our life's as well. "God really loves us", "our families need us", "God will use us to help our family and others", "What we see is not here yet", "God will protect us", God will prepare us", "God will lead us to safety", our gift will help many others".
Then in April I was sleeping and the Lord said this to me "I am coming back Sooner than Christians think", and Race Riots are Right around the Corner" So we have to ask ourselves a question. What does “Sooner " mean? And “Right around the Corner ". I am not sure, but either way we need to start drawing closer to the Lord in prayer, and preparing for what we are about to go through as a Nation. I saw race riots at a level that has never been seen in America.
After this Carolyn and I started to inquire of the Lord. When will we need to start to prepare for this? When will the storm hit America? How do we prepare? What do we do? Carolyn spent about 3 hours praying to the Lord about all of our questions concerning John Paul's word about "The Coming Perfect Storm". That evening she has this Dream.
Carolyn’s Dream: Had a dream last night and in the dream a weather storm was about to hit in our area. I asked, is this a storm we need to be concerned about? And a voice said “no this is not one to worry about”. The voice said we need to start to be concerned after the storms start to hit Israel and then we really need to get prepared. End of dream
Insightful Dream! I believe that God speaks to his children and wants us prepared and not caught off guard. So, I am praying for each one of you that God would give you dreams and visions and strategies for you and your families and cities. Because, in this time we will be carriers of light. Like Emily’s dream above say's, we will bring more people into the kingdom than ever before. Thanks for taking the time to read this email.
Please feel free to email at recie@itinerantministryteam.com if you have any questions or if you have similar revelation.
Love & blessings, Recie & Carolyn

Dear Friends,
From Middle America to the Fringe of America.
I (Rob) and my wife Katie just returned from the Freedom Festival in Tacoma Washington. We were invited by Paul and Mo Croft who have a heart for reaching the community with creativity and and a high proficiency of asking the question "Spirit, what are you doing here?" We had a great time loving and laughing with our team and watching the attractant of the original witness of evangelism spread like ointment on the wounds of middle America passing by. This time our Spiritual Reading Booth was home not necessarily to the "full time seekers" like the new age but to the working class, the domestically abused, the believers who are confused and frequenting psychics and alternative sources than Holy Spirit, Catholics and kids out cruising on spiritual side streets. One guy with his life dead ended in his 50's came pushing his mother in a wheel chair. Three small dogs covered her heart. Floyd wasn't so lucky."My father never wanted any of us seven children from our birth. He told us so." He cried softly and deep as we prayed to oppose the curse with blessing. He said no one had ever prayed for him.
Burning Man looms large in our horizon for our team of 40 plus . As we enter into final planning stages, we have not often seen this much weight to resist what we are doing. We are entering on a new level of serving with our First Nations friends and you who have borne the heat of the day in prayer behind us. The dynamics of spiritual receptivity are quite different that Tacoma with it's F18's roaring overhead. The blast of propellants from fire show displays, endless techno rave music and the chants to attract other spirits try to compete with our sublime quiet thunder. They are the up front "show us the goods" of spirituality light and dark. The fierce intentionality (to borrow Arthur Burks phrase) of " them not us" servanthood of love, community and power from above serve well here. As the sacrificial voice of the Moravians spoke so long ago: "May the Lamb receive the reward of his sufferings" Your support is essential. Thank you.
