Here is an opportunity to get involved by prayer and intercession: 
(Please follow the above link for more information)

"The U.S. Secretary of the Interior has ordered the Bureau of Indian Affairs to reconsider the petition by the Little Shell Band of Chippewa Indians for federal recognition.

Montana is home to seven federally recognized Indian reservations and the state-recognized Little Shell Tribe. There are more than 5,400 enrolled members of the Little Shell Tribe, most living in Montana, but members live across the country.
The Little Shell Tribe has been working for federal recognition since the 1930s, beginning with petitions under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 and working under the current regulatory recognition process through the Bureau of Indian Affairs from 1978 to the present.

The Angel Vision

What follows is a vision I recieved by God's Grace.

There was an incredible tall Angel straddling the Colombia River. This angel was hundreds of feet tall with head bowed down and weeping. The angels tears where flowing into the river and flowing toward the west. Some how I was able to approach the angel and before I could say anything the angel said, “My name is Columbia” The sense was the Angel was weeping due to being alone in the fight for this region and the deep intercession. The response in my heart was one of compassion for the angel’s plight and everything in me wanted to say, “You are not alone, not now. We will join you in the battle”

I saw again the angel standing over the Columbia River, however as I looked I saw the angel split in two and now there were two angels, one standing in Washington and one in Oregon. They lifted up Silver trumpets with white banners hanging down. They began to blow the trumpets. At this point a rushing stream of angels, thousands and thousands began to flow in one solid stream from heaven and passed between the two angels. They were moving at an amazing speed. As they passed between the two angels they began to fan out to the South, the West and the North. Flowing from the East. Next I noticed they were each holding something in their hands. It was clear that it was one single thing cupped in their hands.

They flew to every home, business, car, park, playground, school and hospital to every single human being in this region and took what was in their hands and placed it into the mouth of each and ever-single person. Next one of them flew to me and placed something in my mouth as well.

As I continued stay in the Spirit my attention was drawn again to the two angels blowing trumpets. There continued to be the flow of angels from heaven to earth. Then these two angels split in half and became four angels. Now the last two angels stood back-to-back facing east, with the first two and they began to blow silver trumpets and the angel host began to flow to the east.

What just hit me was: “A port has been opened over your land, the heavens have been opened and this is what you are seeing”

While in prayer at a healing room the Lord showed me that every angel that had carried out the morsel was now standing beside each man, women and child. Although some may vomit up and reject the morsel far more will come alive at the scent of water and thrill to find the bread of heaven to satisfy the hunger and thirst for righteousness. When I had finished sharing this vision with the prayer team, it was my conviction this angel stood near The Dalles Oregon. What is amazing a woman came in and said, “God led me to paint a picture”. When we all turned and looked at the picture we were all stunned and she had no idea why. The picture was of an a huge angel standing over a river.

I posted this vision and then received an email from a man I had only met once or twice. I knew he was a Blackfoot Native, from the Flat Head Reservation in Montana. This Native minister informed me an encampment would take place about ten miles east of The Dalles. I knew I had to attend this week long event.

From Lockley Bremmer:
“You may already know we have planned a summer camp meeting at the Celilo Park about ten miles east of the Dalles. This camp meeting will be right on the river and we are very excited about what God is doing as He has in His sovereignty led us to this site. FYI, the first significant revival among the Native Americans west of the Rockies took place in this area in 1840; it was recorded by Jason Lee the apostle to the Indians that he water baptized over eight hundred Natives. It was reported by Chief White Swan, "that something hot came down from heaven and every one there fell on their faces with tears in their eyes”.

I was told that what was seen was a fiery stream coming down out of heaven. There were many chief sitting stoically watching the events unfold. When this stream of fire came down they fell on their faces weeping.

I was compelled by the Holy Spirit to attend this meeting. The worship led by a Klamath Native worship team was extraordinary. There were more visual, tangible confirmations through nature than I have ever experienced. God confirmed His Word and the joy in His heart as we Europeans worshiped side by side with our Native Brothers and Sisters. This is the experience is what put me on the Sacred Red Road.

As I am driving around town; now every person I see, I realize an angel of revival standing beside them ready to help usher them into the kingdom of God. They are hungry, we have the food, They are thirsty, we have the water. Matt. 9:37-38 - Who's harvest is it ?

During worship as we entered into the high praise as we were lost in worship, I saw the angels that are now standing beside every person in this region, they turned to them and put their hands on their chests to stir up the hunger and the thirst for righteousness.  These are revival angels. I was blown away as I realized thousands and thousands of people in this region are being prepared for revival. When you are hungry you will get up and start looking for something to eat. This revival is upon us and moving quickly. Who will feed them? and with what will they be fed? The true bread from heaven? 

This vision is active and still being fulfilled throughout the Cascadia Region. From Alaska to Northern California, from the Pacific Ocean to Montana; this is our inheritance this is the Church of Cascadia.

This Camp out happened in 2011

This picture is before the dam was built at The Dalles in 1957. We are praying the dam will be removed and the Falls revealed again.

There is joy set before us

We all want the happy place. We want to go the the places of celebration. Most of us have already lived sadness and regret in our own lives. It is difficult to willingly enter a place of sorrow that leads to repentance. We would rather turn away from the absolute cruelty and injustice that happens around us. Jesus Himself said, “If it is possible take this cup away from Me; however not My will but Your will be done”. There is a place of joy and abundant rejoicing in front of us. We can see the joy that is set before us; however we must go through the cross to get there.

There are a few of us who are on our faces in travail interceding for God to relent in what our apathy, sin, and lies demand. I am not perfect and far from it. I have had to repent for my own stuff and at times it is hurts deeply to face my own shortcomings and how I did not live up to God’s standards. When my children disobeyed,  I used to tell them, “Why are you asking me to discipline you?” There is no mystery when we as parents say, “If you do that one more time your going to get disciplined”.  Our actions as a nation have stood in God’s face and demanded judgement. Our actions are daring God to do something about our indifference to His standards. In far too many houses called by His Name there are the forms of Godliness but there is also denial of His power. In His house there are dogmas that have imprisoned souls to doctrines invented by the traditions of men. He has set before the foundation of the earth standards of right and wrong. It was always His intent that we learn what those are and chose what is right.

I sometimes felt deep sadness when I found myself having to follow through on my commitment to bring discipline when I had drawn a line in the sand. However there was no question the consequences for willful and continuous disobedience demanded action. My integrity was on the line and and I needed to prove I could be trusted.

We need to review the true history of all that has happened in this land since 1492 and individually repent for the ancestral actions in the past and then as a nation face these facts. We need to make restitution where it is possible and how it is defined by our host brothers and sisters of the Native American nations. It may sound like a tall order, however we can do it. God knows how we can do it and He will reveal it to us if we ask. If we, His people who are called by His Name, will humble ourselves and pray, He will answer and heal our land.

There is an alarm bell sounding as time is running out for us to stop and do something about this truth. What you do and what we will do as a nation will soon determine whether or not we will run out of time.

This is a call to a movement; for reformation which can open the door to the greatest revival the world has ever seen. We just need the key to unlock the vast out-flowing of God’s Grace to heal our land.

Where did the Axe Head fall off ?

There is an interesting statement I have heard a number of times, “Go back to where the axe head fell off.” This advice comes from II Kings 6:5 in The Book of Heaven, The Bible.
“But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, ‘Alas, my master! For it was borrowed’.”  This reference is suggesting we stop, look at our lives, and ask, “Where did I go wrong?” We could ask the same question for our nation, “Where did we start down the wrong path?” Often times there is wisdom in looking back to see how things got so far off the track. 

Where did things start going wrong in America? We know that many early American settlers who were looking for freedom and a place to worship according to the dictates of their own hearts came to this continent. These people left Europe looking for a new beginning. They left Europe with noble idealism.

Every surveyor knows that with only the slightest deviation what started out only millimeters apart eventually becomes a great divide. We are a very long way away from the idealistic dreams our forefathers had when they envisioned coming to the New World.

There were great men and women, such as Roger Williams,  who had the true heart of The Creator and who attempted to lay out a vision that embraced the First Nation people in America. Williams sought to honor the sacred history the Natives Americans. There were men and women who knew what was right and demonstrated the character of Jesus Christ which is unqualified love and empathy. They believed that ALL men where created equal and were endowed by their Creator with the unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It was our Creator’s desire to see this land as a place of freedom, peace, and equality across all cultures, races, and ethnicities and to allow the dictates of each man’s heart to lead him or her into their worship of Him.

We want revival, we want reformation. To see these take place we must go back as a church, as Christians as people of this land and ask God to heal us and the deep wound that still exists in the heart and soul of our Native brothers and sisters.

If you study your own family history and find some great injustice I am sure there will be a pang of sorrow to realize what was done to your family. We need to realize that prior to the european invasion there were as many as one million indigenous human beings on Turtle Island. (North America). By 1890-1910 that number had dropped two hundred and fifty people. That means that seven hundred and fifty people died due to our arrival. This happened due to sickness and disease that was brought from Europe, massacres, malnutrition due to losing hunting and fishing lands and lakes and exposure to the elements due to taking away traditional villages and homes.

Now we must stop and go to where the Axe Head fell off, follow our way through the corridors of time, and repent, asking The Creator to forgive us. We must acknowledge where we failed to live up to His ideal and plan for this amazing country we call home.
