Jeremiah 31:8-9
8. Behold, I will bring them from the north country and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and among them will be the blind and the lame, the woman with child and she who labors in childbirth together, a great company, they will return here to Jerusalem.
9. They will come with weeping [in penitence and for joy], pouring out prayers [for the future]. I will lead them back; I will cause them to walk by streams of water in which they will not stumble, for I am a Father to Israel, and Ephraim [Israel] is My Firstborn.
These are two verses that I believe God gave me for Wheeling. In these verses I heard the Lord saying that He is bringing a variety of people to Wheeling, WV. Among these will be the lame, woman with child and she who labors in childbirth together as the verse stated.-Among this group of people will be two kinds of people: Those who are just curious about the glory of God that is resting here in Wheeling and those who have been rejected by religious institutions. God says, I have a remnant in Wheeling who are stewards of my glory and I trust them with this group of people. I call Wheeling the Firstborn of my glory, for the release of My glory that I am pouring out here has been never before seen. I Am causing a living, continuous stream of water (representing My Spirit) to flow through Wheeling and all surrounding cities and states. Be ready!

Qualified for My Glory
This is a word the Lord gave me for the city of Wheeling, WV:
This city is qualified for My Glory. I desire to pour out my Glory here. I do desire for businesses to be booming. I do desire for jobs to be booming left and right. Employment rate will increase. My people need to know that I am their Father. I knew the city of Wheeling before it was even formed. I knew everyone who would ever reside here. I held the city of Wheeling in My arms as a parent does with a newborn baby, and I want this city to know that they are still in my arms. wake up my people...it's Daddy...it's a touch from Daddy. Just open your eyes and look. I am holding you in My arms. I am here. Don't believe the lies...your identity is in Me. You're My baby. You have my DNA. I want to communicate My Love to a city so precious to Me...to a people so dear to My Heart. Awake and smell the aroma of Me. It's Daddy. I'm here...I've always been here. The lies of the enemy has caused a stillborn state but My Love has overpowered the enemy and awaken You. Now let out a cry as newborn babies do. I'm listening. I hold You precious to My heart. I love You. I'm not mad with you. I just want to Love you back. I am breaking down every wall with My Love. I don't have to punish you....you're in a broken state...I'm going to Love You back. My Love will wake you up to Your reality. You're already mine. You were birth out of the womb of Love. The lies of the enemy have clogged your ears, but even My words has the power to clear your hearing. Listen...do you hear that? Yea, it's a lullaby from Heaven. Welcome home child. I've been waiting for you. Here is Your mansion. Your room is already prepared. What is Mine is Yours. The media and the rest of the world will inquire about the work that I am doing here in Wheeling. Many will know that You are my child...that you are not forgotten. I cried over you when you were born. Tears of happiness and joy. I knew you. I loved you. I still have those very same feelings. There is nothing you have to do to be my child, you're already my child.

I heard this echo going on in Heaven. We were telling our Daddy (God) that He's beautiful and He was looking upon us saying, "Oh, my child, you're beautiful." And then I realized that as He was saying this He was looking into a mirror at what I thought was Himself. But the reflection in the mirror was actually us (His children). Then it clicked. Wow, our Dad already sees us as beautiful no matter where are in life. Because we are in Him and through His Son we have been redeemed and called the sons of God, when our Father looks at us He sees us as He sees Himself.

God gives the Increase
Most breech babies (babies that are position feet or buttocks first in the uterus) are babies that are PRE-mature.--The Holy Spirit gave me this vision/revelation. The body (representing the believers) have for many years tried to do work that only our Father was meant to do. Work concerning salvation of souls, rushing the growth process of new babes in Christ, trying to change outward habits of self and others, and etc. When that happens, the Holy Spirit gave me breech babies as a parallel in the natural: The baby (representing souls) in the womb, instead of coming out HEAD first (representing birth by Christ), comes out FEET first (representing birth by man). When we tamper with the work of God this PRE-mature and abnormal birth can be very harmful to the baby and sometimes even deadly. One plants, another waters but it is our Daddy God that gives the increase. Our #1 job as the believer to every soul should be releasers of the Love of God. Freely we have receive, freely we give!!

Speechless Love Encounters
As I am sitting here trying to put into words what has transpired over these last few days I am reminded of three words: miracles, signs, and WONDERS. Never in my life have I wondered the way I have at this past crusade here in Wheeling, WV. Coming into this crusade I sensed in my spirit that God was going to do something BIG, but I suspected that it would more so be for the "unsaved" or the "unchurched." Oh how I was surprisingly mistaken!
Romans 15:17-18: In Christ Jesus, then, I have legitimate reason to glory (exult) in my work for God [in what through Christ Jesus I have accomplished concerning the things of God]. For [of course] I will not venture (presume) to speak thus of any work except what Christ has actually done through me [as an instrument in His hands] to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed...
The next several instances that I am about to discuss has been witnessed by all who attended the crusade. As this has blown my mind, I ask that you take God out of whatever box you may have Him in now and JUST RECEIVE.
On Wednesday, July 21, 2010, I along with my spiritual father and family drove an hour to the Pittsburgh airport to pick up some brothers and sister who came from Georgia to help in the crusade. While at the airport a couple of us prayed for a man who was in a wheel chair. Tristian's hands were tucked inward as we later learned that he suffered from cerebral palsy (CP). After finish praying for Tristian and walking away, one of the brothers had a vision about Tristian's hand opening up, so the one brother ran Tristian down and prayed specifically for the vision he had. Approximately 30 minutes later, we witnessed Tristian using the same hand we prayed for in a way that he was not able to before.
Later Wednesday night/early Thursday morning when everyone arrived, we loved on each other and had an awesome worship experience with 12 people in a small room, some who had just met for the first time that night. The unity that we experienced was none that I have ever seen before. The presence of God was so thick and rich in that room that we saw angels standing about 7 or 8 feet tall. Our spirits meshed together in such a beautiful way. This night, I believe, set the tone for the whole crusade.
On Thursday, July 22, 2010 we had our first meeting at the Laughlin Chapel at 7:30pm. My brother Bryan Meadows was the speaker for the night. Bryan received a word of knowledge about someone having a headache and neck pain, a lady confirmed this pain and upon laying our hands on her the pain left before the night was over. We also encountered angels that night while Bryan was speaking.
On Friday, July 23, 2010, we attended the Upper Ohio Valley Italian Festival where we had a tent there, loving and praying for people. While walking around, one of the sisters (who was NOT with us at the airport, neither had we had the chance to tell her about the incident that occurred there) notices a man in a wheel chair leaning up against a bar booth that was serving alcohol on the corner of 14th and water street. According to our sister, it was obvious that the man (Tristian) had a few drinks before approaching him. After gathering a couple of others for help, we rolled Tristian back to our tent. Those of us who were present at the airport noticed that this was the man that we prayed for and began to love on him and feed him. Tristian was very tensed when we first pulled him into the tent, but I believe our sincere love and care for him caused him to relax so, that before we left the festival he was singing into the mic "Amazing Grace." Later that night we took Tristian to the chapel to shower and get ready for the service where my brother Joseph Parkman spoke. This was THE CRAZIEST night of the crusade...the night where I honestly sat and WONDERED. My pastor, John Pitts Jr., announced a special guest and almost immediately Tristian came rolling through the double doors all freshened up. He made his way to the front of the stage where he mostly camped out at all night. That night Tristian accepted Christ into His heart and not even an hour later He was laying hands on people and prophesying.
Joel 2:28: And afterward I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
I mean what did God just do here? Here we are thinking we were just doing a "disabled" man with cerebral palsy some kind of favor and he turns around, accepts Christ in His heart and ROCKS our world. (Had not spoke in one tongue yet....OUCH! Wrecked any kind of religious doctrine we had!) My sister received this cool revelation from the Lord: Tristian went from drinking (alcohol) and being in the sun to drinking (new wine) and being in the SON!!! Not to mention where we found him at the festival. Remember when I said he was on the corner of 14th and water street? Water representing born again (new creature) and the number 14 being a multiple of 7, partakes of its significance and, being double that number, implies a double measure of spiritual perfection!!! God has such a sense of HUMOR!!!! This night we experienced Supernatural healings and deliverances, Holy laughter, Gold dust, and angelic visitation. What a night!
On Saturday, July 24, 2010, my spiritual father, John Pitts Jr., spoke and needless to say we went EVEN HIGHER in His presence. Pastor John Pitts Jr., having studied, fasted, and prayed for this crusade was prepared to bring forth the word with 12 pages of notes. Before time to speak, God spoke to Him (paraphrasing): Dont use those notes, you are longwinded and may get in the way of what I want to do! God totally had His way that night and it was a night in the HOLY of HOLIES. A night of IMPARTATION. We literally dwelled in the presence of angels. The sound of heaven was in every minstrel!
These are only half of the miracles, signs, and wonders that we experienced during the crusade, not to mention other healings that took place (read my other brothers and sisters blogs to get what I may have missed). By the end of the crusade everyone was totally BLOWN AWAY by everything that had transpired. Tristian's body has loosened up to the point where he stretched out on the floor and even took several steps with the help of others. Among all the testimonies during the crusade, I realized that the foundation of it all was simple, LOVE. Our job was not to convert any non-believer, nor was it to increase membership. Our number one goal in which we successfully accomplished was to LOVE and our Daddy God gave the INCREASE!
1 Corinthians 13:1: IF I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God's love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
We moved from FAITH to FAITH and from GLORY to GLORY. I can truly speak on the behalf of everyone that was in attendance that we truly will NEVER be the same. Wheeling will never be the same. The fire has been ignited and really, the crusade is not over, it has JUST begun. I have literally experienced such a paradigm shift that my mind can not even fathom the next move of God. God is doing something in Wheeling and I am honored to be apart of such a GREAT move!
Romans 15:17-18: In Christ Jesus, then, I have legitimate reason to glory (exult) in my work for God [in what through Christ Jesus I have accomplished concerning the things of God].
