My Favorite Flower Is An Iris.

One morning during a three month sabbatical I was walking to my prayer room passing by our bay window that was filled with beautiful flowers called Irises. They were in full bloom, shouting a grand finale of colors and majesty. As I walked past them, I heard the Lord whisper. "Bill, I want you to sit down and behold the flowers." As I did, I found myself mesmerized by their beauty and I began to repeat their name out loud..."Iris, Iris, Iris and then out came, "I Rest!"

It's the first time a flower ever preached to me. I kept gazing upon their glory and studied them. I couldn't find one flower that looked like it was struggling. I couldn't find one flower that looked like it was worried. Have you ever seen a flower that looked worried? ( unless you don't water it ) These flowers were just being and growing into what God had called them to be with no struggle, no sweat and no worry. They looked like they were rejoicing.

The Lord spoke through those Irises saying. "Bill, I am calling you to rest in Me. As you rest in Me you will naturally grow into all that I've called you to be. There is a rest to them that believe. You not only must believe in Me but believe Me to bring to pass what I have spoken to you. I am the faithful one who has called you who will also do it. Only believe."

A Glimpse of Heaven

I spoke at my mother's church last Sunday. It was the first time she wasn't there when I ministered. She moved to another location. She's in her mansion just over the hill top, in that bright land where we'll never grow old.

Her new address is 'Glory Hallelujah' along the streets of gold. And she hasn't stopped dancing since she left here. And she doesn't want to come back. I can hear her saying, "Make sure you get up here. This place is something else. I can't describe it. You'll have to come see it for yourself."

I know now what my mother experienced a split second before she left this world. She got a glimpse of heaven and it took her breath away.

Blessings,

I Am Releasing My Glory Through Rough, Unpolished Diamonds In The Earth

Diamonds In The Rough Are Rising In Demand In The Jewelry Market and In God's Kingdom.

I read an article published by The Wall Street Journal with the title, "'Rough' diamonds -- some looking more like gravel than gems -- edge into the jewelry market." Here are some excerpts taken from that article, "A new look in diamond jewelry is on the rise...Known as rough diamonds, these are the stones in their natural state, before they've been cut with the facets that give diamonds the sparkle, brilliance and clarity they are known for...Luxury consumers are maturing "beyond the 'look at me' phase." 

As I read this article I sensed the Father saying, "I'll buy that. Many of My people have hindered My glory from moving throughout the earth. They have become enamored with perfection, waiting to be cut just perfectly before they think the world will see Me in them. Many have become like diamonds waiting to be cut and polished until no earthly resemblance is left in them. Many then get stranded inside of My house thinking if they go into the world, something earthly could stain and cause My shine to fade."

"But now, I am releasing My glory into the earth as I release My diamonds in the rough. Many of these vessels who seem more 'earthy' than others will begin to shine even brighter as My glory pierces through these cracked and seemingly broken vessels. The defects in some earthen vessels will actually give way to more of My glory shining through them."

The most valuable fine cut diamonds in the world can only be seen in museums under lock and key and can never be touched by human hands. Diamonds in the "rough" can turn up anywhere and can be touched by anyone. Be careful who you think has a lot of earth left in them after they are redeemed...there may be a larger diamond under all that earth!

2 Corinthians 4:7, "If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That's to prevent anyone from confusing God's incomparable power with us. As it is, there's not much chance of that. You know for yourselves that we're not much to look at..." ( Message Bible )

"America, Is That a Prayer On Your Lips That I Hear... and Is That a Tear In Your Eye?"

In the Spirit I saw hair-line cracks appearing on the marble floor of the White House.

As I saw these hair-line cracks begin to appear on that marble floor, I sensed the Lord speaking from Job 14:7, 8, 9. "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will grow again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant."

I sensed the Lord saying, "As Samson's hair began to grow again, so are the spiritual roots of this nation." As I saw the cracking of the floor increase, it was like the very foundation of deception and greed was beginning to be dismantled...exposing the enemy! (The enemy is not flesh and blood but Satan.)

I said to the Lord, "What has caused these spiritual roots to begin to grow again at this time?" I sensed the Father saying, "I have collected in a bottle every tear that swelled up in every eye that has mourned for this nation. These tears in My bottle are now being poured out over America causing her roots of righteousness to begin to spring forth in the land. 

'Paramedic Angels'

In the Spirit I saw what appeared to be 'paramedic angels' dispatched, dropping from the heavens as in parachutes, landing on the front lawn of the White House. It seemed that those grass roots of righteousness that began to crack the White House floor had set off an alarm in hell, summoning these angels with urgency to surround the White House.

I saw multitudes of other angels descending upon and filling up the mall of the nation's capitol. I saw that these were Second Chronicles 7:14, 15, 16 angels who had the scripture written all over them..."If My people who are called by My name shall humble themselves and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 

Warring on Corporate Prayer

These 'Second Chronicles' angels seemed to have had assignments throughout the ages to descend upon nations that were in critical time frames where a nation seemed to be hanging in the balance. These angels warred solely and strictly on 'corporate prayer' only! I sensed they had come to Washington, D.C., but now were given orders to wait on the rising tide of 'corporate prayer' from the heart of America.

Some certain angels were released into war for a nation only through tears...nothing else moved these ones. Not even prayer, unless tears were mixed with them.

I asked the Lord, "Father, why 'paramedic angels'? I have never heard of them." I sensed He responded, "I plan to give mouth to mouth resuscitation to America and kiss her face again!"

"Oh America...is that a prayer on your lips that I hear... and is that a tear in your eye?"

God Is Calling Forth The 'Edge Pushers'

I sense the Father saying, “I am going to do fearless exploits with those who are ‘wired’ different. Some will seem to have ‘no wiring’ at all.” They will be famous for not being normal because they weren’t born normal. They were born to push the edge back off of their families, cities and nations. They will also push the edge back and break off every limitation that My present day church has put on itself.”

“I am sending these ‘unique‘ ones who will be the forerunners in routing every religious spirit out of My House. They will break the rules when it comes to reaching the lost. But don’t judge them. You may be shaking your head ‘no’ to the next move of My fearless exploits in reaching the harvest.”


If you’ve ever felt ‘not normal’, ‘wired different’, or have ‘no wiring’ at all. You may be in this sacred number.

God Is Renaming You. Your New Name Shall Be Called 'CONFIDENCE.'

Before getting up to minister recently, my wife sensed that I was battling intimidation. She leaned over to me and whispered, "Your new name is 'Confidence!' Immediately, a lion roared on the inside of me and an alarm went off in hell. I rose up to minister and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah took over the meeting.

I believe the Lord is renaming you today. Your new name is 'Confidence!' 'You shall no longer be called wounded, outcast, lonely or afraid. You shall be called 'Confidence, Joyfulness, Overcoming One, Faithfulness, Friend of God. One who seeks My face.' ( song by D.J. Butler )


Get up and let the lion roar.

I Am Going To Redeem The Times That You Said, "NO!" To Me

I believe we all have missed one of those golden opportunities that we said "no" to by being led by feelings instead of faith. Can our disobedience ever be redeemed?

Recently, I blew a silver trumpet to open up a meeting. The Lord showed me that "silver" represents "redemption." When I blew that silver trumpet, I sensed the Lord saying: "I am going to redeem the times that you said, 'No!' to Me! I am going to give you other opportunities! Other opportunities that are going to cause you to forget your regrets.

When I look at you, I see no regrets, for there are other opportunities I am bringing your way. And if you will say 'yes' to these opportunities and follow through, it will produce a hundred-fold first fruits now, more than they would have yesterday or years gone by.

The Lord says, "This is a turn-around day! This is your turn-around day! I am going to turn things around for you. I am going to turn many of you around who have said 'NO' to Me to say 'YES' with joy. For you are now going to delight to do My will. Forget the past. Your past is not your present. The winter is over and gone.

 And what has been working against you in the past is now going to work for you! Rejoice, for I have greater opportunities coming for you now than ever before. Opportunities that will restore to you the years the cankerworm and palmerworm have eaten from you."

I'm Getting Souls

 

In a vision a young man saw the Lord pick up the earth and He began to shake it up and down in His hands. The young man asked the Lord, "What are you doing?" The Lord said, "I'm getting souls! I'm getting souls!"

I sense such a great shaking coming that it will fill most churches. People will line up outside waiting to get in. This shaking alone will cause multitudes of children and grandchildren, who have been prayed for many years, to run like prodigals to Jesus. This shaking alone will do it.

It will be the answer to many prayers for lost loved ones and a great harvest to take place in the earth. As the shaking increases, remember what God is doing: "I'm getting souls!"

When The Devil Says, "You Missed It," You Probably Hit The Bull's Eye!

The devil never wants you to know how much God is using you. He is using you more than you know. Hell trembles because you are still alive. The devil's greatest fear is: You are still here. He has heard how God has rescued you and changed your life.

He heard about the fiery furnace you were in and he saw the fourth man show up. He saw your Red Sea split open. He saw the Lion's Den you were in and saw the mouths of the Lions shut. He has heard about your God who is now causing you to take your family, city and nation. When the devil says, "You missed it," you probably hit the bull's eye!

I Saw 'Angelic' Midwives Interrupting The Spirit Of Abortion

Prayers seemed to have mounted up and taken wings ascending to the throne room, crying out on the behalf of the unborn. I heard many angels conversing, "We just got a breakthrough assignment to deliver the unborn! Tell them to keep crying out and pleading the Blood of Jesus...the spirit of abortion is beginning to be notified, 'Let My Babies Go!'"

"ANGELIC' MIDWIVES ARE BEING ASSIGNED TO HAND DELIVER THE DELIVERERS

It seemed like a season equivalent to when God had called Moses in his mother's womb to be a deliverer to the nation of Israel. In Moses' time Pharaoh sent a decree to destroy every male child being born. But the fear of God came upon the midwives and they saved these babies.

Moses was one of these babies who was delivered. These kind of 'hand delivered' babies deliver nations!

I sense once again a season of intervention is in where the fear of God is beginning to fall on abortion clinics as 'angelic' midwives are now being assigned to doctors and nurse practitioners.

A stronger cry from the throne became even louder for intercession as an angel began proclaiming, "I think we got another Moses here! Another David, another Deborah, and, yes, there is another Esther coming out of that womb! Keep prayer coming up. . . these babies have an anointing for the nations!"

'YOU ARE NOT CARRYING A MISTAKE, YOU ARE CARRYING A MIRACLE'

I saw the Holy Spirit overshadowing many mothers who, like Mary, were overwhelmed what to think and to do next as they were surprised by their pregnancy. But the Holy Spirit began to melt their hearts, as it was revealed by God Himself, "Fear not, that holy thing which shall be born of thee is of Me. You are not carrying a mistake, you are carrying a miracle!"

I saw in the Spirit many babies being offered up for adoption. God had already handpicked married couples and placed His desire in their hearts to extend their families. These children appeared as arrows in their quivers who would eventually speak with the enemies in the gates of their cities and nations!

"Babies unplanned are Heaven's surprises; unplanned by man for Satan's demises!"

Worship Till The Cows Come Home

My mother's life changed forever in a Kathryn Kuhlman meeting when she was eleven years old. Within ten seconds two miracles broke loose, one on each side of her. She got the mindset early in life: 'This is the way my life is going to be.' And it was for ninety years in spite of some hard times. Interestingly, these miracles happened during worship before Kathryn Kuhlman came to the platform.

Kathryn Kuhlman was known to have lengthy worship services to bring down God's power. She once said, "If you only have ten minutes to pray, worship for the first nine minutes." She knew how the power came into the meetings. Then she would say those famous words: "I believe in miracles!" Then healings instantly would break out all over the place. In the balcony. In the basement as people watched on TV monitors. Atheists who didn't believe in God got healed anyhow.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO 'HALLELUJAH' ANYHOW

How about you? Do you feel discouraged and unable to praise Him? Do you need a healing or miracle? Hallelujah anyhow! Worship til the cows come home! Worship til the children and grandchildren come home. Worship til your healing comes. Worship til your deliverance gets here. Most of all worship God for who He is and not just for what He can do. For He is God all by Himself.

I once said to the Lord, "I didn't get a thing out of that worship service." He said, "It's cause I got it all!" Hallelujah anyhow.
