After I had taken my first trip to the Gateway House of Prayer in St. Louis I had a dream in which I was there with my church's youth group. I had brought our teens, as well as some of our adults, to check out the ministry. We had a pretty sizable group there, but for some reason the building was full wall to wall with many others. I was surprised because there were only a handful of people there the night I had last visited. Now the place was suddenly packed.

     In the dream I was also caught off guard because we were not just praying, but listening to an emcee-type person speak. He reminded me of the people who sometimes introduced Todd Bentley at the Lakeland Outpouring. I realized that the ministry there must be hosting some sort of special event. I asked someone what day it was, and they responded, “It's Wednesday!” It was just supposed to be a regular church night!

     Lastly I remember seeing the Bible-teacher Joyce Meyer sitting up front among the crowd. Somehow she seemed much more old, respectable, and reverential to me than she does when I see her on television. As I looked at her I started to ball, crying uncontrollably. Someone asked me if I wanted to meet her, and I said no. I was just touched by how heavily she had impacted my life and given me truths that brought inner healing. For some reason I was over-whelmed by thinking about it.

     I knew almost as soon as I woke up from the dream what it meant, and I had an impression that it was spiritual rather than psychological in nature. I did not feel like I needed to write about it though until recently when I heard a prophecy Bob Jones gave to Mike Bickle. Bob basically explained that the great end-time harvest will not result from the full release of the global prayer movement. It will coincide with it! Regular efforts at intercession will become so anointed that people will come to the plain, weekly meetings congregations have and instantly be healed, delivered, and receive salvation. Normal church activities will draw thousands of people in. The petitioning will not stop when the outpouring hits. It will fuel and carry this move of the Spirit until Jesus comes back!

     Because the Lakeland Outpouring filled the Tiger Stadium in Florida it was a foretaste of what is to come. This is why I dreamt about the emcee character being in GHOP. Joyce Meyer represented a grace to win in “the battlefield of the mind.” The Holy Spirit is going to visit many churches with a great anointing to break mental and emotional strongholds that are keeping people from loving God with purity. There will be no room for demons to keep a hold in men's hearts.

     Psalm 27:4 reads, “One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to meditate in His temple.” In the days to come I believe we will find this to truly become our desire, as we see how powerfully and excitingly the Spirit moves, changing our communities in the place of worship. We do not just lay the foundation for our outreaches by communing with the Lord. We do them while we are seeking Him!
