Get Ready--The King of Glory is Riding In (Part 2)

0:00 Hello and welcome to Diane Lake's podcast, Preparing the Way, the Practical Prophetic. Our show teaches you how you can understand and apply the prophetic through practical terms, practical ways, and practical means that will make it relevant to everyday life so you can prepare the way for the Lord's purpose to manifest in the earth. Welcome to the first Friday morning session of the Prophetic Impact Tour, which was held April 26-29, 2023 in Missoula, Montana. In this episode you'll hear from Alan and Diane Lake, co-founders of Starfire Ministries. Alan will share some more testimony and the importance of passing the baton, and Diane brings the conclusion of her message titled, Get Ready, the King of Glory is Writing in, Part 2.

0:45 Listen and receive a word for Montana and for the nation. Let's get started. So this morning, you know, you think you have a message all put together, and then the Holy Spirit sometimes comes in and goes, we're going to switch things up. So this may not be real polished. You'll not really have polished that guy anyway, but... So here we go. I'm sorry, I just want to step in here.

1:25 Sometimes what we say out of our mouths is, well, most of the time it's what we get. This is a polished thing. This is stone polished from heaven. We need to stretch our hands right now and say, God, for the divine release, is what was promised to sight over him yesterday, is to come to pass. It needs to be long from heaven. And so we just bless you now, right now. We bless the weeks. Look, we prophecy about the weeks. What? Now they're speaking. Come on. Jesus, right now, He released everything you want to have released in this house, through this couple right now, and we bless your holy polishing now, in Jesus' name.

2:10 There's nothing out of joy, nothing out of order because you are putting everything into place. Okay, Lordly, you gave me confirmation that I'm supposed to start a new life. Okay, Lordly, you gave me confirmation that I'm supposed to start out with this. Okay, so we've moved, as you guys know, we've moved to Hellenap.

2:55 We had boxes everywhere. We've got most of the boxes taken care of in the house, but we have a series of boxes we call them in the bunkhouse basement area. We've stacked up nice and neat. About every five or six days we come back from the Zula, hit another blow, come back. So, ten days or so, we came back. I went into the basement area, and where all the boxes are, it had been locked up. And it looked like a mini earthquake had happened. Some of the boxes were thrown through the drywall, were busted on the floor.

3:41 There was a giant hole in the ground. Interestingly, yeah. Interestingly enough, there was a box. I have kind of a pickle at it. We had to move the iron where we were going to move. We thought it was going to be in the blue forever. And it happened to that way. Old Son and Daughter and Mom just bubblewrapped all these pickles, and they were great, right? So there are at least book-sized boxes. So there's like about five or six, I'll say, aisle. So there, these pickles are up here. Sheet rocks over here. And something chucked that box of pickles through the sheet rocks.

4:23 So there's about six and at least a diameter hole in the sheet rock that I was complimenting by Son and Daughter and Mom. It was great. And it went back on the floor. Okay, so you start the story and then turn it over. Well, what I said was, I do believe we stirred up a hornet's nest, and the Lord really confirmed that to us. So Lord Meagol, we've already made an offer on this house and we're at the ranch, and I don't know if we closed or not, no, we haven't closed yet. But our family is avid avid hunters, and our oldest always comes over from Remerton, Washington, Hunt, for a week. They're all associated with the military, a couple of them get out after 10 years.

5:04 But anyway, if they can, they come home to Hunt. So now we've got new hunting grounds. We've got a research on the hunting grounds over there. And my son had been home in February to help us walk some things. And he said, Mom, you need to see this. And he texted me a link. And now I knew there's Masonic roots in Helena, obviously, within to the Grand Lodge a number of times in Alette. Just so it turned out that we are 5.8 miles from the ranch house from the first Masonic lodge meeting held in 1863. On Mullen Pass, three Masonic brothers kind of discovered each other on an expedition over to find gold.

5:47 Instead of Elizabeth Gold City, of course. And they still hold an annual meeting up there in commemoration annually in the summer. You can't get there right now because there's too much snow. But all that to say, we moved into their territory and they know it. And we bring the presence of the kingdom and we're going to be playing them. We've got some things we're going to do. We're going to get up there and we're going to do some things. But I'll tell you what, I'm just going to tell you, we knew what to do. We just started to pray. And I, well, declare, I'm like, there's a new sheriff in town. And you get out because we are his deputies and we walk in his authority. So the thing is, and I'll be briefed though, is that this, these three Masonics, especially the leader, who, you know, he became the Grand Poo Bar or something at that point, right?

6:36 So they moved on to Banning, another gold town in the Dillon area. But there's a problem with lawlessness. So what did the Masonics do? They formed a vigilante band and they became the law of the land. And so they are credited with bringing law and law into Montana to other Samoan's countries. So we come in and now we're living 528 miles from there. We're like there's a new sheriff in town. And you're out. It's Jesus. I think the story is not just about us, about Mark or Ranch. It's about what we can do.

7:17 We, as believers in Jesus Christ, when things like this happen with demons, whatever, they had a little temper tantrum. So what do we do? We say, in the name of Jesus, there is a new sheriff. His name is Jesus. We are the deputies. And you have to go because we are his ambassadors. We have the authority in the name of Jesus. Jesus is a powerful word and they have to speak. So this is just an example for you guys because these days are getting tussled. It's not going to be easy. What did Bishop talk about last night?

7:59 These are not easy days. It's like Ailsa, the contrast between the dark and the light. We need to tremble when we come, right? Okay, I'm going to be brief. The Lord gave me a quick message from Hebrews. Hebrews 11 and 12. Let me just read a little bit. Starting Hebrews 11, 13 through 16.

8:40 Hebrews 11, as you guys know, they're talking about the ones who've gone before, the cloud of witnesses. Abel, Enok, Noah, Abraham. All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised. They only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.

9:23 They had been thinking of the country they had left. They would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared the city for them. For the sake of time, I'm going to go to Hebrews 11, verse 39. These are all committed for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised.

10:06 God had planned something better for us, that they only together with us, with us, who they may perfect. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw up everything that hinders and the sin that's easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for four of us. So it's interesting to me that the cloud of witnesses, what's a witness?

10:49 A witness is one who's watching. Could it be the cloud of witnesses is watching us? Could it be? Maybe so. We don't know what's going on yet. We don't know if they can look down, but if they're a witness, it sure sounds like it. In a way, they were kind of tying soldiers. Sure, they had their battles, but they were looking to that end. Is it possible that we, you know, Bishop talked about a few things that needed to happen before Jesus comes back?

11:32 Very interesting things. Things that I want to do a little more research on. But is it possible, we are in the fourth quarter at the two-minute morning? Is it possible? And these guys, the witnesses were waiting for that time. They couldn't fulfill all their promises, all that they had without us. Does that make sense? I mean, that's kind of what it's saying. Interestingly, okay, so before I get into the relay, I want to talk about so many, sadly, I believe, are waiting.

12:18 We're sitting around waiting for the rapture to happen. Is that what God wants us to do? No. Hey, we got a job today. We got a job. Interesting, we were talking about Kingsley, and he came over from the planet, and we met him in Hell on that, and he spent some time with him. I did not know that Kingsley was a college track athlete, and he's been in relays, and we were talking about relays, and I and I were track athletes also. And he mentioned that he had been in high school in medley relays. What's a medley relay?

13:03 A medley relay is when you have different, if it's a mile medley, maybe somebody does a hundred yard dash, and then a 200 yard dash, maybe then a half mile, finish it off. So it made me think of, we may be in the relay with the cloud of witnesses. It's kind of what he talks about, isn't it? What I just read. Wouldn't it be cool if we're in, in our relay, we have Abraham, we have Ena, but they can't finish it. We're the anchor leg. What's the anchor leg? That's the last one. Just in the car today, coming here.

13:53 What's that anchor leg got to be? That anchor leg's got to be the one that's got the grit to it, the determination, the faith, to finish strong if he's, if he's ahead. If he's behind, he's got to pass that next one. He's got to pass the one. So I just want to encourage you guys. What if, I mean we can't see what's all going on, but what if we're in a relay with these cool dudes in the old test, right? That just burns me on. That gets me toned up.

14:34 There you go. There you go. So this all ties in with what Bishop is talking about, what he's going to talk about tonight. Now, I'm going to take up a lot of time, but what is God calling you to do? What out of the box thing is God calling you to do? You know, just the other night, Vance prophesied to me that I may be in politics in the state of Montana, Lord of Furley. So what's my first thought is, in politics?

15:17 You know, it made me think, when I was on school boards and different jobs the Lord has given me to do, people would ask me how do you spell it with school boards? People can't stand you. You may call me if you make that. Yeah, you make that. It's not a pretty job. But you know, I enjoyed it. There was a grace upon it that God gave me, and I really enjoyed it. So do you think God is going to, if God called me to be in politics, that I'm going to hate it the whole time?

15:57 That I'm going to despise it? No, no, no. He doesn't do that. If he's going to give you a job to do, you're going to enjoy it. You're going to love it. Enjoy it. It's true. It's true. So don't, you know, when we're searching for what God wants us to do in these last days, don't be worried about it. My sister and I, we have a brother who was called to be a foreign missionary. I've heard so many people say, do anything God, don't call me to be a foreign missionary if he was out the jumbles. But he loved it. For decades, 15, 20 years, he loved it. Until God called it off, the grace was gone just like me.

16:43 And I was on school boards. Grace was gone. Grace was off at the time, and my job was done. So anyway, I just want to encourage you to do the guys who have it. Amen. I just want to confirm what I was saying. Last Sunday I was in another church. It was one of our regional leaders. Her name's Ethel P. And her husband passed away a few years ago. And while I was there during the worship service, I saw a vision. And it was a relay race. And what I saw on this vision was that I saw her husband running. And of course we don't communicate with the dead, but this was a vision of him running and was entering into the transition zone where the baton was handed off.

17:33 And that it was important for her to start the running in the paced because you only have a certain amount of time to make the transition of the baton. And so the other thing that happened was that they became like fire. Like even injured kids play video games as they are doing really well. It's like the players become on fire. And they're super kind of. And so I saw that. It was like that. It was like that supernatural empowerment for her, in this case, was her to enter into this transition zone to run and to take the baton and then she would be fulfilling the rest of that.

18:19 And so just cloud witnesses now Sunday. I see us right there. We're in this transition zone running. And then we're going to take that baton and finish. A bunch of other the Holy Spirit is just in control. I used to call Pastor with the lady Karen. We all hear her talk thousands of times. A dear friend and my spiritual mother. And we were talking one day. It's like, you know, I see that a partnership with the Holy Spirit, like with the minister. I said, I feel like I'm crumbling the stage, the stars of Holy Spirit. We're just ushering in props and changing the scene, whatever Holy Spirit wants to do.

19:05 And that is so slowly. So speaking of, you just handed me the baton one day. And it confirmed to me that I needed to start with something a little different than what I intended. And I said to him this morning when I grabbed a few minutes, I said, this is a little different, but I'm going to go into something interesting and I never planned on as a start. So it's about your spiritual vision and how they should bring you life. Because it's like, how do you know you're supposed to be doing something? Well, you know, it's not like everything you do is fun and roses. And we have to serve some times in places that we might not choose to.

19:45 But I'm here in the scene here in the conference. I had somebody approach me directly. I've had other people say it in different ways. I don't really know what my spiritual gift is and how do I know? And of course, if you have a good and fully equipped pastor like Pastor Robert, he's fully equipped to teach you about your spiritual gifts, not everybody has that. And how can you take your place in the army of the Lord who mentioned Joel 2 in the intercession, you know, the presence of the sportsman? And we want to march in our columns and stand out in formation and do what we're supposed to be doing to fulfill the purposes of God, although if you don't know what you're calling a do. So I thought I was prompted by the Lord to tell you to really need a synopsis of spiritual gifts.

20:30 I'm talking about, this might be 1500 works, a spiritual gift 101 to just get you pointed in the right direction. I wrote an article in October of 2015 called The Wife-Giving Expression of Spiritual Gifts. Okay, so go to our website www.starfireministries.org. You got to search for it and you can easily find that. One of the things that the Lord has me do, and especially in the earlier years, like 14, 15, 16, there's a whole stream of synopsis articles. You want to know about the spiritual gifts? You want to know about how to speak in tones? You want to know about the gift of discernment? You can find some things like that to get you started, such as in case that's something that you want to look at.

21:13 So what I talked about in that article as I opened up, I'm going to build on my testimony from yesterday just a little bit. You know, you've heard that I was very oppressed. I don't need split hairs. I was like, possessed, was I depressed? Was I suppressed? I don't know, but I was pressed, you know. I was all pressed, okay? I was not in a good spot. I'm a free kid. I'm barely managing. I'm not just feeling like a failure because my daughter and I can't figure out what's wrong. I'm also dealing with big loads of shame and guilt because, to be honest, you get really frustrated. You treat your life as if you're like, did I owe the treat your life as if you should have? Absolutely not.

21:53 I was not as gentle as I can know those things. Then I would just be, you know, just, it was just, it was really bad. But the Lord, of course, took all that from me. I would change it if I could. You know, I stick to it just me so much, but you need to understand why my daughter and I are so close. She's 32 years old. I just want to give you an encouragement. Our family is so much tighter. I've brought this through without my daughter. I'm in a beautiful relationship. Sometimes I will joke and say, oh, Lana, please tie me to that. I think she feels bad because she only ever talks to you. So she's doing the obligatory space to come to me.

22:35 But she thinks the world of her dad. But I'm just saying we're really tight. So here's the story. I'm in this place. I'm not in the very good spot, right? I've got these kids. I'm barely maddened to get through each day there. Okay? So then I get a phone call. We're going to a particular church in town. Remember, I'm not spiritual. I don't know how to get out of my job. I don't know any tools. And the person on the other end of the phone, she's calling from the church. You know, kind of the ministry department. She's like, hey, we're going to get people to cook meals. We had a lady have a baby in the church. And, you know, we're just going to do the right thing.

23:15 We're going to all pull up and take meals. And I get you signed up to do a meal. You know, she didn't catch me at the right moment. I can take it. And I kind of add a meltdown. And what I basically said is, I'm not paraphrased and keep in mind, probably wasn't quite this hard. Probably, but just as it was, this lady's been pregnant for nine months. You know, I think she could have cooked some meals and put them in the freezer herself. I'm barely getting through my day here. I want to clean a meal. Go ahead. I'm really appreciate it. And you know what? I'm going to call me again. All right, I'm laughing about it.

24:00 But there was a lot of frustration in this because I grew up in a climate where women could do one of two things. They could do hospitality or they could do children's nursery. And that was it. And guess what? My lowest gift is serving. So guess what? That wasn't really giving me any life, was it? My second lowest gift? My highest mercy compassionate. Like, I could cook your own meals.

24:41 So obviously, I may be the worst thing it is because it was funny. But it wasn't funny. It's like, this is what I grew up with and nothing of that brought me life. And of course, I was too caught up in my junk. I wouldn't have been able to do what I do now anyway. But when I'm in a store like this, when I'm doing the things I'm called to do, I might be tired at the moment of day, but it's okay. There's a lot of life. And when you're doing things only that you're not called to do, you shall drain the entire thing. There's a lot of frustration in that. So I don't want to spend too long on that. I just want to point you to that article. I'll walk you through the 101, you know, motivational gifts from Romans 12, the manifestation gifts from 1 Corinthians 12, and of course the five women and cooking gifts.

25:31 Some of them take more time to develop. Some of them, you have to be more of a body with other people that can help you in those gifts. But there's always resources to find them. I just want to get you plugged in with something because I'm hearing it too often in this gallery. Even in Bishak last night, I think there was a show of hands. How many people know what their gift is and how many don't? I was like, all right, maybe we can do something about this. Right? Our job is to equip the dentists. All right, so that's enough of that. So, remember I told you the title yesterday of the message that I wanted to bring was, Get Ready for the King of Glory is Riding in. So this is part two.

26:12 So picking up where we left off, you already know that we were looking for more land and that the Lord bought us, bought us, brought us. He bought it too. This is money. Beautifulograms in the Helena area of 315 acres. So one thing I told you was that if I had a wish list, somebody asked me and he presented wishes to God, which I don't know if I did or didn't, I don't really remember. It would have had some history on it. I really wanted to have an old log structure. It does. It's actually two. One of them might be a root cellar. Do we think we're doing something? We're still puzzling a little bit over the one.

26:52 Because there's actually another root cellar. That's a real deal that we discovered. But something that I didn't tell you is that you know what this listing was called when we found this branch on, you know, the email from the realtor? Stagecoach Road Branch. There is a literal stagecoach road slicing across this property. It's a very neat property and it has a variety of, it's got meadows and hills and mountains and, you know, it's got all the pine trees and stuff you would expect, but it has aspen and everything. So there's this one bench where it's kind of overgrown, you know.

27:33 There's some of the trees that have grown up on it and then there's this beautiful meadow where it's like you would swear this was a highway. It's so evident. It's so clear. And in the beginning we're kind of discussing, you know, if we ever did build a new house or something, or we would have a potential whole site and you would be like, oh, there's that meadow up there. That could be perfect. We walk up there and we are never going to be here. You know, we are in three minutes. There's never going to be a house or a fair. There's something almost sacred about this road that was hard to defend and always known there was something pathetic about this, but it was not an accident. There's a stagecoach road in this property.

28:15 So of course, before the railroad was passed, in that day, in the 1800s and way, that was mail. That was freight, cargo, and sometimes passengers. It was interesting to use. We're dealing with a lot of mud over there. We didn't realize that there's a snow melt. The road was not in very good condition. We wanted to start kind of scratching on the line along the road to get to our house and to the ranch. So she unlocked the mud. Well, just what they did in the olden days of the stagecoaches. It was a dirt trail and you think there was mud? I bet there was. They would make any passengers get off and help push and whatever.

28:55 So I thought, I don't have to learn something. They're just saying, maybe you want to know lots of history. Let me show you. And you've got a formal drive ticket. Because we had threads about 8-10 inches deep at one point. We were afraid we were going to get stuck going downhill. You know, not even up to the top. So I told you that we had, for personal and family reasons, we had been looking for land because we come from a line of generations where inheritance has not been fair in writing. I shared how the word recovered for us not to stumble, but triple the amount of a preach that we would have had. And he also, I believe, switched that generational curse that we were living under of betrayal.

29:41 That spirit of injustice and all that. So that now our family will be blessed. We've changed that. I mean, we actually moved. So we had a number of prophets prophesied to us that we would provide a place of rest here at some point. So, you know, the word about Montana, I really thought my attention, I think I mentioned it, he said, he stole my word. Now we only had 16 acres before. And the teachers saying that at one point, James Gull even prophesied to us.

30:21 First he was prophesied about staying in Montana. But he is one of those who was prophesied to us. And there are many others that Montana at some point would be able to put a place of rest here. And so as personal, he said, at some point he will be even at high age, James. And we're like, whoa, who wants to hear that? How did that ever happen? But I look around at that 16 acres and it's not going to be here. It's not going to be here, right? So that was another motivation, actually. I mean, would we know the Lord has something in mind? It's not about us, it isn't and isn't, right? It's to be, we hope the way it is with all of us, you know? So I really paid attention to part of the HPE word of the leader of the Apostolic Council, who took out a word and they said in there, that, okay, I'm going to read it a little bit so I don't get it wrong, they said the Lord would be creating negotiations and that he would even be specifically moving some people to different areas and locations so that they could create not only places of refuge, but also territories that would be places of refuge.

31:32 I was like, wow, maybe you would see those, right? So as I said, that hurt many, many voices, think of this. But even beyond the scope of recovery of land, trust personally, and for future generations, even beyond the scope of using the land potentially as a place of refuge, and you keep discovering things like colored cellars, and I mean, it's just as badly as a place that could potentially work for that. I still have kept feeling, even though I can't quite grasp it, remember we talked about the film that takes some time to develop, that there's some bigger prophetic picture going on here that God is trying to paint that I can't comprehend, but it feels like this time is going on, I'm feeling a little bit more in that picture, so that's what I want to talk about today as far as relocating us to this particular area, and this particular land, and this particular time, okay?

32:33 So let me just begin by saying that as a prophet, or a prophetic voice over the years as I've had the privilege to be, I brought forth a lot of words, whether it's a form of articles or another podcast now, so whether it's podcast episodes or official videos, whatever it is, there always seems to be an element where the Lord has me walked out of the building first. I don't know if that's true for everybody, but sometimes that takes longer, you know, to walk that through, but I was encouraged one time when James Gauld reached out to me and said something to me personally, he said, this allows me to become the Word is actually what happens, you absorb it, you live it, you become it, so then remember when John ate the words or when it was his week of eight, it's like you have it in you now, it has a certain authority and level that it wouldn't have had if you just like, this is what I really want to say.

33:43 So all that said, it was encouraging to me that sometimes you feel like you don't understand why you're walking through things, and why you don't understand things, but I think as you live it, the Lord uses that to bring additional levels of revelation, something that's heard to anybody who has that same thing in their mind. So what I'm trying to convey to you is don't get the idea that I'm telling you this story and giving you this message today, that I think that, don't get the idea that I think this move is only about me, my husband and my family, because I don't think it is, I'm just going to be honest, I think that it's even more than just from the state of Montana, and I think we're getting confirmation, so folks, you feel comfortable to reach out and say this, I think there is a much broader application for other Kingdom-minded people besides our strength and others that the state of Montana and our particular region even is meant to be a place of refuge.

34:47 I'm thinking not just physically or in the practical and baby-like aspect that you can say, but as a spiritual place of refuge as well. So that means in my view some dark times, right? Oh, I think that there probably will be some embedding that you agree. So let me just illustrate that a little bit further. I'm going to tell a part of your story that you told one time. We have a good friend of ours, and in 2016, Gail brought forth a word about the number 6, how it was a law, and it had a meaning of connection between heaven and earth, referenced as it was in Genesis 1 and 1.

35:27 We got law, the heavens and earth and connected them together, and he said, one time without connecting is like a lightning bolt, right? So as he told it, if I get it correctly and if I don't, you can turn the story around. Then very next week in 2016, this was a massive lightning bolt hit their home. And he said it was described by the fire department and the electrical contractors as the strongest thing they had ever seen. So basically anything that was plugged in, any electronic device, is on its toes. So it ended up that the insurance company replaced everything for you, right? So they ended up off better than before. That's an amazing bolt.

36:09 Wow. Seven years ago. Incredible. So he took this, as I looked back at your article to get this correct, he took this as an amazing prophetic sign that the Lord was verifying in his timetable that God was upholding his promises to connect our destinies within that year with the lightning bolt. So it was a representation of a prophetic sign. It was used to perfectly illustrate that message of what God was doing in the larger picture. So what I'm trying to get you to do is understand what I'm saying here. The lightning bolt was not about Gail and Shelley.

36:50 It was God's like, okay, I'm doing something in the earth and I'm going to pick a prophetic person and I'm going to give you a shadow in the time. And even through your little confused and it's been inconvenient to tell your house about lightning in the bigger picture, you know, that's something he just did, I guess. So I think I'm going to share briefly that the Lord gave me a message about a year and a half ago that everything that we were losing in that season that I told you about was going to be replaced with something better than before. And so again, there's something about that that he wanted us to walk it out and have it be an illustration in our lives so that when we brought that prophetic message and told you that everything is going to be replaced better than before, we can map it up with a testimony.

37:44 There's some kind of bigger prophetic picture, right? So I think you get the point of what I'm saying. So that's what I wanted to tell you before I get into the broader application so that we understand I'm not talking about Alan and I when I'm talking about this stuff, okay? I'm thinking that there's a bigger plan and picture than that. So I think I had mentioned this, but I thought we'd be at that property and in that house. I think I said something at one point about I'm going to be carried out in a plain box, right? But the problem was that it wasn't what God had in mind. So again, as I was showing this, it took a lot of years to get into that place.

38:25 So I think I want to encourage you and I did that at some point level yesterday, but I wanted to sink in those hard things in your lives that have been going on. I think this is a lot more people than just me that you have not understood and you have not understood and you've not understood. It's like me having to come to the realization or I scratch my head. I don't think it's the land I thought it was. So it's not that God isn't fulfilling his plans for you. It's just that your idea of his plan and his idea of this plan have to come together.

39:06 And in the process, he has to do a work in you and I know what this is going to be talking about tonight because I've heard and I know his material. There's this thing that has to happen to bring you into the image of his son as well at the same time. So everything's for a purpose, but it's not fun and it's usually not anywhere close to easy. So just be encouraged because we're going to see as much of the picture as possible now, but I think we are going to see enough fulfillment so you're going to begin to see some of the things that you have always wondered about becoming clear.

39:46 It's going to develop. So I need to share a little bit of background and some of this might be your views or some of you that follow me, whether it's in articles or on the podcast episodes. I believe that Montana is a representation, a prophetic representation of the Mountain of the Lord. So there you go, the Hill of the Lord. Oh, funny story. So we took Hainesway and Danse and Debbie up on a drive. We wanted to show them the missions and just got overlooked. We didn't have a lot of time, but at least we're on that much beauty of Montana.

40:27 So we were coming up at Draco area where the Draco River is, and we started to eat and canceled out the window. I think it was him and he said, don't look at those mountains. And then I'll laugh since those are hills. I'll show you a mountain in a minute. We'll come back up by that rice region. We'll come up up that hill and say, ah, there's the missions. Now that's the mountain. There's hills and then there's mountains. So you all know where that reference comes from, right? So you would mind the four, the parallel passages, and where when we're talking about the Mountain of the Lord, we're in the context of the seven mountains, which Gail already referenced.

41:11 If you're not familiar with it, you can go search, I've done teachings on it. It's the seven areas of influence in a society. And so what we read is, of course, that the Mountain of the Lord will be established on top of the mountains and all nations. So Montana, of course, as you from here, you already know this, it comes from the Spanish word for mountains. And it has a roots in the Latin from the adjective mountainous. So that's kind of interesting, right? John Hamill is the first one to prophesy to my husband and I that Montana was a prophetic representation of the Mountain of the Lord.

41:51 Otherwise they had two incisions. We've had many confirmations of that. He also prophesied at the same time to us. It's going to be 2016 that I say that when he did his glory training tour. We had meaning up with him and righteous. A lot of powerful things happened in that meeting and out of that. So he had just gotten a serious look on his face and he looked at us and he said, you know, your capital city of Helena is not supposed to be named Helena. And the Lord wants you to pray about it and we need to rename it. We trust John to bring the Lord to the Lord. He's proven not to us. So we prayed for a couple of months about it and the word just came.

42:33 Oh, it's supposed to be Zion. So what are we going to do? We hop in the truck, whatever truck we have been. I'm sure it was Reef, right? The Reef and Truck. So we head over to Helena and we rename it Zion. And actually when we told John this story, he got all super excited. I mean, like here it animated. He's like, oh my gosh, that's what David did. In second Samuel 5, he renamed the capital city to the city of David, which after that was Zion, right? So anyway, it's a God's story and sometimes you wonder what the heck you're doing. Going around and naming cities, but let's try to go to the media, right?

43:16 The next part has emerged over the last several months when it dawned on me that we were moving to the gates of the mountains. The gates of the mountains, as you probably know, if you're from here, were so named by Lewis and Clark. So if you're not familiar with this landmark, the gates of the mountains is located 20 miles north of Helena. So in 1805, the Lewis and Clark expedition was toiling to move upstream on the Missouri River. And apparently there were rock embankments that prevented them from going to the boats from shore, as they might have. The channel was too deep to pull the boat, and so they were rowing and suddenly towering above them were 1200-foot limestone cliffs.

44:03 And they were like, wow, okay. And what had happened was it looked like those cliffs were going to prevent them from entering through that river into the heart of the mountains. But it was like they described it as they would get close, and then it was like as if these cliffs were gentle giants and they would open and they could get through. And then they'd come around another bed and they'd go, oh, I'm never going to get through there. And they would open up enough and they could get through. And so Mary Weathermore was wrote in his journal, I shall call this place Gates of the Mountains. So I'm like, okay, that's interesting. But then it wasn't long after that, I was reading Isaiah 2 with his background and the story I'm building for you here, that Montana is a prophetic representation of the mountain of the Lord, that Helena has now been renamed Zion, and that Helena region also represents the Gates of the Mountains.

45:00 So let's read that from that. Verse 2 of the Lord, Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the first house shall be established on the top of the mountains. So be exalted above the hills and all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways and we will walk from his past, for our Zion shall go forth from on. And the word of the Lord from Jews, for we will judge between the nations, review many people, read their swords into the plowshares, their spears into pruning hooks. Nations shall not list of sword against nation, or shall they learn to war anymore.

45:46 So all I'm going to say is, I don't understand this, but at every turn I'm seeing some interesting confirmations of how it looks like there's a bigger picture, right? So I'm not going to lie, there's been some real challenges with this move. I'm going to give you one short example. That we all, especially your ministry, but if you're walking with the Lord, you've got to be in ministry. Everybody has a ministry, but if the job makes you anywhere in the southern mountains. We saw at times there was so much intense opposition that people were not covering this in prayer. We would not even be alive. One example of that is, so we're making tricks, of course the moving trucks did the big move, the furniture, and stuff that was like in two days, saying about March 15th to 16th, but we've got how new halls and trailer holds of stuff, I mean we have a massive complex thing going on here.

46:39 So there had been a trip over, and I know you had a new hall at least, and I think I was behind you with something. And we made that trip over, and down the Continental Revival we made it back, and we had to go back to do some stuff in Missoula, and we had a meeting, I think it was at a title company, because we had some other transactions happening. So I talked to him, and I remember, how are we here? But we're like, okay, I'll see you, we've got our own trucks, we've got a whole bunch of stuff to do. In 10 or 15 minutes we're going to meet at this title company, and I get there and he's not there, and he's not there. So I started getting a little bit worried because this guy's always punctual, or early. And so I gave him a call, and I'm like, what was, is anything wrong?

47:21 He's like, I'm waiting for a tow truck. I said, what? He said, my brakes went out. He said, I'll let you put my brakes on, and there was nothing there. And he said, it still happened that I was, you know, y'all going to know where this is, if you're in Tron, Missoula. I was on Broadway, kind of where the old Liberty Lanes was, and I was going to turn south on Russell. And somewhere in there, it only goes about 15 or 20, I don't have any brakes, I had to kind of glide over and hit the curb to stop. And I don't know what's wrong, but I had to have a tow and figure it out. The coaches come to find out, you have a truck service, and they haven't done what, they haven't finished something.

48:03 And the trip before, he was pulling you all down the path. And if he lost his brakes, that's just one example. And I'll tell you what, there are plenty of things that, you know, you're just like, things with running interstices. You know, I'm doing things with running interstices. So anyway, I think I mentioned the March 15th and 16th was this big moving truck operation, and it was intense to say the least. And I think that we've been trying to connect with Kingsley to buy his airline ticket. And I mean, in transition, we had about two weeks, we had no internet, because we had to move our start-up dish.

48:44 The old house and the new house, neither one has like a week, one bar, I think that branch has no bars. And we couldn't get so-so's of Sanita Place without Starlink, I mean, internet of any, you know, significance, lighting speed. But we had to do this remodel, I mean, we just, we didn't have internet anywhere for like two weeks. And so he would try, or so, he would try to make this happen. And if we find any text with me that morning, he was like, we agree that he would buy his ticket, we work it out later. And in the process, he brought a word to us that morning. He said, this is a defining day for your family and for the state of London.

49:29 You are heading into the gates, displaying them wide open, so that the King of Glory can enter your world. So you can see the direct reference there to Psalm 24, which in part reads, lift up your hands so he gates. Be lifted up, you ancient doors, for the King of Glory is coming. The King of Glory, who is he? The Lord. Mighty and doubtful. Oh, that's funny, you're the army of the Lord. Isn't that interesting? So let me bring a word here, especially from Montana, okay?

50:15 The Lord is releasing a new level of His glory in this state, which will manifest as a brand new level of science, wonders, and displays of His glory. And a new level of destiny will begin to manifest as we see more and more people being strategically positioned to be able to serve both physically and spiritually as places of refuge in the future. Alright, so your place, your strategy, your place of refuge will look different than mine.

50:55 Maybe mine's a ranch, maybe yours is a church building and campus, maybe yours is a house where you stocked up on water and food so that you could share it. And you can have a strong faith that you're willing to, or I don't know what it looks like for you, but I will insert this one, I want to make sure I keep my time contained. But in March, about two years ago, the Lord gave me a three series podcast, and I'll probably put it in order before a minute. I've never had such strong, clear, and detailed direction in my life. It was about being physically prepared for hard times. So let me just challenge you. I don't care what you've seen our pantry down.

51:40 We dedicated a whole bedroom in this ranch house into a pantry. And then we have a secondary pantry out in the shock-based one area where the pit was gone. I take this seriously, very seriously. But if you don't have room for a big pantry, let me challenge you to at least get some extra water. I don't care if you have an apartment or whatever it is. Ask the Lord, what can I do to be better prepared for not only myself, but if your family and around trying to put food on your table. Find clean water for you and your family, how are you going to take care of anybody else?

52:20 So it's one thing to say, oh, the Lord will take care of us, but it's another thing to be equipped and ready to do a spiritual nail. And this is both my thing. We need to pay attention to that. So I want to talk about one last thing as we close. That the Lord has recently highlighted for me, let me say the last two weeks. And this comes from Isaiah 35. So you already heard me say that there's an old-stage coach for running food property. I have never thought this is an accident. I have always thought that there is a prophetic significance. And as I said, I always thought there was a little bit of a safe readiness about that road out there.

53:00 So let's read Isaiah 35. It's about the future glory of Zion. The wilderness and wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as it grows. It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, see them with joy and singing. Strengthen the weak hand and make firm the people in need. Say to those who are fearful hearted and strong, do not fear. Behold your God who will come with them, ease with the repentance of God who will come in safety. Then the eyes of the light shall be opened, and the ears of the desert shall be unstopped, the lanes shall leak like a deer, the tongue of the deaf sing. The water shall burst forth in the wilderness and streams. In the desert, the tarst crown shall become a pool, and the thirsty springs of water.

53:44 So one little inserted story here is that, you know, the Lord has an affinity for land. You know he does. We're even created from dirt. Yeah, come on. Right? He prepared for the history of life across land. Land is important. My husband likes to say, you know, that song by dirt, God's not making any more of it. By dirt. So we quote that, where so sometimes we want you, but here's the thing. All creation is growing, right? The revelations of the sons of the wise creation growing, growing because it happened, and we each happened. And all this, like, we're finding so many things on this Francis with disrepair.

54:27 There's too many weeds, the trees need meaning and slashing. The fences need fixing. Do you not think that that land is growing? Do you understand what I'm saying? So an interesting story from our other property, the 16th, there was the first move there. We had seasonal current in front of the house. Guess what? After a number of years and we're spirit filled, it runs year round. I don't even know how many years it's been running. You know, because often the ground is where it comes up from. The ground knows you're from your kingdom, right? It's like, oh, I should bring my water up here. It's growing and it's looking for you. It's waiting for the sons and daughters. Do you get that? So when we first moved there, the ticks were sold out. We would have ticks. We'd have raising land around the cattle. The first year cattle dying on that property from ticks.

55:17 Then we'd have to search for the ones that were sick and some of them got saved and didn't die, but by the time they left, they almost didn't have any ticks anymore. They were certainly not, you know, incestuous like they were. And I contribute that to God's glory and kingdom presence in the land. That man responded. Guess what's going to encourage you about that? Okay, so Thursday, a highway should be there and a road. And it should be called the highway of homies. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, a road full of folks shall not go astray.

55:57 No lions shall be there nor any rapids be. It shall not be found there, but there would be. So they're grasped on the Lord shall return and come to Zion and see. With everlasting joy on their heads, they shall obtain joy and gladness. Sorrow and silence shall be with. So I was recently on a prayer call, organized by Clay Nash, representing the state of Montana. An anti-Gloria Zion had kind of been a coordinator. She prophesied some re-nourishment. She said, interestingly enough, there will be a new governmental anointing released upon us.

56:39 A new mantle, a new mantle coming that we would begin to make decrees. That we would stand in the gate and say, this comes in and this goes out. Right? Amen. But I want to say something to you. I don't think this is a balance. Just one of God was looking for somebody to create a shadow and a type in a picture. And he's wanting to do it with physical locations, actual landmarks. Why don't I just throw a road out there? You can't make this stress up.

57:24 What I'm going to say is humbling to stand here and say, I wonder if God is using Asma and I as a touch point to illustrate, to live, to become the Word, so that we can in some way give a little limer of what God is beginning to move and do. It's a timing thing. Right? He's like, okay, now we're shifting. Now we're transitioning. And we're going to start moving into something. So basically we say, get ready. Pay attention. I know the picture's not solely developed, but you need to be on the edge of your chair. Okay? So I'm going to close with a decree. Okay?

58:07 Let's stand up. We all need to get a little circulation going anyway. I decree to you, get ready. For the gates of the mount have been swung wide open. And the King of Glory is riding into our great state of Montana. And as he rides, he will begin to display his glory at a new level through his people, that's you, in the words of increased signs, wonders, and displays of supernatural glory. This same wave of glory will increase and spread to their surrounding states, regions, the nation, and the nations. In Jesus' name.
