Shalom

from Jerusalem!

There was

a powerful service in Pastor Shelley's church in

Alabama on Sunday, April 6th. About 30 people from the

congregation had just returned from attending The Call in

Montgomery, Alabama, the day before.

Jerrell

Miller, editor of The Remnant newspaper, was there to later

interview Pastor Shelley. He had spent many years chronicling

the Brownsville Revival, and now God had sent him to begin to chronicle what God was doing and

about to do in Alabama as a forerunning state for a lasting

revival.

Both

Jerrell Miller and John Carter, an evangelist from

Florida,were given an opportunity to powerfully share what God

had shown them, and then Pastor Shelley continued to minister from

God's heart. At one point, the Holy Ghost came upon

Pastor Shelley so strong that he praised the Lordwildly with

abandonand ended up on the floor of the

platform! The organist was moved by that powerful

anointing and also ended up on the floor!

I have

summarized some of the essence of the service in this update, but

youwould be very blessed toread a transcript of

the messages at:

-The Call,

Montgomery, AL, and Bearing the Image of the

Heavenly

Alabama - Flashpoint for

Revival

Lou Engle, Dutch Sheets, and other prophetic

leaders have prophesied that Alabama

will be a flashpoint for revival. It is the

first state in the roster of states.

This is how they advertised The Call, Alabama:

The Call is on

the march to Montgomery ... with The Call Alabama to occur April 5th, - the 40

year anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King

Jr. Could it be that the birthplace and flash

point of the civil rights movement from the womb of the South will

once again provide a tipping point for our nation?

Could it be that the movement fueled by a call to biblical righteousness and justice that impacted a

nation and brought deliverance from injustice 40 years ago might

provide a foundation for our generation to cross Jordan and enter

into the promise yet there for our nation?

Pastor

Shelley said:

We

know it's not about one place.It's about a region, it's about a state, it's about

states, it's about a nation, it's about the nations.

Sis.

Ruth Heflin, that we loved so much, said before she died that God was going to take up Alabama like a

banjo on His knee and play her for His

glory.

Feast of First Fruits - The Wave Sheaf

Offering

(Lev 23:10 KJV) Speak unto the

children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land

which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye

shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your

harvest unto the priest:

(Lev

23:11 KJV) And he shall wave the

sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the

morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave

it.

ThisPassover week,the Jewish people

celebrated the Feast of First Fruits. As

Christians, we have the revelation that Y'shua fulfilled

this feast when He was resurrected.

Y'shua wasGod's first

and most important Forerunner who was "waved over our heads" to show us what a manifested Son of God looked

like. The first fruit

shows what the rest of the harvest will look

like! That's us, His Bride!

That is God's

pattern, even today. He raises up forerunners as first

fruits of the coming harvest!

Forerunners: Prophetic Signs of the

Upcoming Harvest

Pastor Shelley

shared:

They bound these sheaves up, and the

priests would stand and wave those sheaves over the

field.

And it was not to say that these are the

only sheaves. This is not all the fruit of the

harvest. This is the first

fruits.

You see, Alabama is a first fruits state.

It doesn't mean that there's not going to be a great harvest.

There is. It's coming. But there's a first fruits.

And that's why the ministries of men like A. A. Allen

and William Branham are so significant.

And

these men were forerunning men. Now you know I have spent so

much of my life studying the ministry of Bro. William

Branham, andI clearly see that he was a part of that

first fruit offering. He was one of those sons that

came into a place of maturity. He was some of that

grain that came into a place of maturity.

Then,

in the great healing revival of the forties and fifties, these men and women of God who came to that place were waved

over the people.

They greeted one another with this greeting: "Bible days are here again" because they saw the Living Word, the Lord Jesus

Christ, raised from the pages of history, standing

before the people, performing the same

works that He performed when He ministered on the

Sea of Galilee – the same thing.

I believe specifically,

strategically, God used the ministry of William Branham. He waved that ministry over the heads of this nation and the

world to say, "This is what an

adopted son looks like."

I am

persuaded that there is a people predestinated before the

foundations of the world to come forth in this hour into the

full adoption of sons and manifest the Lord Jesus Christ on the earth in these

Last Days.

And

it will not look like religion, and it will not look like

churchianity. But it will look like the ministry of

Jesus Christ updated – updated, brought into this

day.

You

won't see everybody in robes and sandals. You're going to see men

and women who come from different cultures, from different

backgrounds, who have different appearances, different talents,

different convictions.

But

they're going to be driven by the same

passion. And that passion is to be a lover of Jesus

Christ.

I can

see the priest out in the field waving the sheaf. What he's

really saying is, "Come on. If

this barley can come to maturity, you can, too."

And

Father, that's what You were saying in the great healing revival

with men of God like Brother Branham. You were waving them

over. And You were saying, "This is what the ministry

of Jesus looks like in an updated fashion in your nation,

in your time. This is what it looks like."

And

you weren't saying, "Everybody sit down because a few sons have come

to maturity." What You were saying was, "Look on this.

Look on the first

fruits. Get an idea. Emulate their faith. Emulate

their faith. Emulate their faith. Come on, you can come to this place,

too."

Creative Miracles in Alabama

On

February 10th, at the end of the Releasing the Spirit of Prophecy

conference, Paul Keith Davisreleased a prophetic Word

from the Lord for Pastor Shelley's church. Here is part of

what heshared from what the Lord gave him earlier in the

morning:

Then

the Lord began to talk to me about creative limbs and

organs. I know that's a big term. I know

that. But this is what He said. AndI'm just going

to believe it. I don't know when it's going to happen

-maybe this year, maybe next year. I don't

know.

But I

believe people will come here to this

church to be healed from the impossible. When

medicine has given up, I believe people will come here. I

believe that there'll be a creative

Spirit.

Then Paul

Keith said that the Lord brought to his remembrance a conversation

he had with Bob Jones several years before after aheavenly

messenger had come to Bob.

The messenger said, "The Lord desires to bring the restoration of creative miracles,

creative limbs and organs." He said, "That is, the Lord desires

that."

He said, "However, it can only be released in an

atmosphere where there is true

unity."

He

saidthat we were going to have to deal with these certain

issues.And once we deal with them . . . And I'm not

saying that this is something that you have to deal with. I

think that's something you have dealt with.

And I

believe that it's something that you need to be aware of so

that it doesn't filter in.

Because I believe the Lord wants to bring the restoration of creative limbs and organs to this place

right here. I believe it. I don't know when it's going to happen, but I

just believe it's going to happen.

So anyway, this is what the messenger said

to Bob. He said, "Ambition leads to suspicion.

And suspicion opens the door to competition. And competition

leads into

division."

And

so if we can deal with ambition, suspicion, competition and

division, then we can begin to function in the creative miracle realm that will bring people in from

all over.

And

this is the Word that I had this morning -that people will

come from all over the nation, right here, to this little

church because they know that there's a possibility God

might touch them and heal them, heal

what doctors cannot do anything

with.

Near the

end ofthe same service, while the church's ministering

brothers and their wives were lined up in the

front,Randy DeMain said:

This

is what I felt like the Lord released me to do this morning.

He talked to me, interestingly enough, about creative miracles this

morning.

And so

I believe that we need to activate that Word. And so there's a

couple of Words of Knowledge that I had last night I didn't get to

release. But also they came back this morning, in terms of

creative miracles.

The

creative miracles were in the area of the arena of organs

-missing organs,

that sort of thing. And so I just feel like these guys

have just been commissioned into supernatural ministry -not that they haven't already, but there's been an

activation.

This is what the Lord says over this House, "You shall no longer be termed forsaken, nor

shall your land any more be termed desolate. But ye shall be

called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord

delights in you."

Creative miracles, God. We release creative miracles

now. Creative miracles.

Prophetic Dreams about

Alabama

When

Pastor Shelley went to bed after watching "The

Call" all day long, he asked the Lord for a

confirming dream of what was being spoken. The Lord

gave him two dreams:

Dream -"They Heard About the Creative

Miracles!"

I was

standing in a pastor's office somewhere in another place, in another

church, getting ready to go out and

preach.A young brother stepped into the room andsaid, "Pastor Steven, there is a phone call for

you."

And I

said, "Well, I'm getting ready to go out and preach. I can't

take the call right now."

And he

said, "It's from your church at home and there has been an

emergency."

And

even in the dream, I had that sinking feeling that you get when the

phone rings in the middle of the night. You know that one,

don't you? Just this fearful feeling came over me in the

dream: "Oh, God. What has happened?"

I took

the call andsaid, "Hello."It was one of the

brothers. In the dream, I recognized the voice, but when I

woke up, I couldn't remember which of the brothers it

was.

And he

said, "Pastor, come home!Come home right

away! You have got to come right now! You've

got to come right now!"

And I

kept saying, "What is it? What is it? Tell me what it

is. What's wrong? What's happened?"

He

said, "I can't! You've got to come now! It's

serious!It's an emergency!You've got to

come!" He went on and on and on. And I was just so

perplexed that I couldn't get him to tell me what was so

serious. I didn't know who had died or what had

happened.

I'm on

the phone, and he's fixing to tell me that some terrible tragedy has

happened. And all of a sudden, I felt a joy welling up way

down inside, and I started laughing from my belly into the

phone: "Ha, ha, ha, ha . . ."

And I

was just carrying on like that. And I'm thinking in my mind,

"Why am I filled with such joy?" And finally I said, "Brother,

please calm down and tell me."

And

then I'd go back into another laughing fit. And he said,

"What's wrong with you?"

And I

said, "I don't know, but please tell me what's

wrong."

And he said, "I was on my way to the campground this

morning, and I could hardly make it in for the

cars."

He

said, "There are hundreds of people that are filling up the

parking lot, waiting for the doors to open."

He

said, "There has been a convergence. There has been a

convergence of people and we can't get in."

And I

said, "What has happened? Why have they come?"

He

said, "They heard about the creative

miracles."

And I

said . . . Listen, this is what was so funny. I said,

"Who told them? Who told them?"

And the

dream ended.

Dream - "They Have Heard that the Wells

of Revival Have Been Uncapped!"

And the next dream I went into, I was standing on

an overpass - not Spaghetti Junction, but some overpass in Atlanta. And there was traffic

going every which way.

And I

said, "This is Atlanta traffic."

And a

voice said, "No."

I said, "This is just ordinary Atlanta

traffic, Atlanta rush hour traffic," or something like

that.

And the voice said, "No,

they're all going to

Alabama."

And I just spoke out in the dream andsaid, "Why are they all going to

Alabama?"

He said, "They have heard

that the wells of revival have been

uncapped!"

That was the confirmation that I asked

the Lord for concerning what was accomplished yesterday in the

spirit.

When

I came to myself, I woke up and I thought about the

dream.

It

wasn't the Lord, but it was almost like I could hear the Lord say, "You can't keep it to yourself but so long. You know, you're

not going to be able to hide it

forever."

Gentile

Church in Fullness Brings Revival to

Israel

This is an excerpt from a

teaching that wasrecently releasedon Asher

Intrater's excellent e-newsletter that I thought was

appropriate to the subject of this

update:

The word "fullness" is found twice in Romans 11 - one time

referring to the Church of the Gentiles, and the other time

referring to the Remnant of

Israel.

- About the

Gentiles: "Blindness in part has happened to Israel

until the fullness of the Gentiles has come

in (Romans

11:25)."

- About Israel: "Now if their fall is riches for the

world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much

more will their fullness be

(Romans

11:12)?"

God's plan is to

fill both Jews and Gentiles with the fullness of His glory.

When the Gentile Church comes into

its full destiny and glory, it will bring revival and restoration to

Israel. "…until the fullness

of the Gentiles has come in, and so all Israel will be saved (Romans

11:25-26)."

When the Messianic remnant comes into its full destiny

and glory, it will bring world revival, the resurrection of the

dead, and the second coming of Yeshua. "If their being cast away is the

reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be

but life from the dead (Romans

11:15)?"
