		A vision: The Spear Wound In  Jesus' Side

I was one of the speakers at "Catch the Fire - Chicago" conference, held
Nov 7-10.  The conference was held at Zion, the city that was established 
by one of the first healing evangelists - John A. Dowie. It was at Zion 
that John G. Lake was Baptized in the Spirit and received gifts of 
healings & miracles.

On the Friday night service, in the midst of worship, the Lord gave a
vision to me.  He showed me a map of North America.  And then with out 
notice, Jesus walked into the meeting and streached Himself over North 
America. 

"Why Lord have you blessed us in this very personal way?", I asked. 

He replyed in an almost audible voice, "I have come to this land because 
of all the past revivals & prayers that have soaked the land with My name 
and I have come to release great things at this time." 

Jesus showed me His wounds and especially the wound that was dug into His 
side by the soldiers spear. So, I asked, "Why do you show me this wound 
to your side Lord?"  

He then told me to look at where that wound was located in postion to the 
map of North America. I did as He asked and I was shoked.  It was right 
over lower Manhattan, where the ground was wounded by the Sept 11 terrorist
attacks.

Then Jesus' voice to me thundered: "In the same was that my side was
wounded by the spear and there flowed from my side 'both blood & water'
(John 19:34), this nation was wounded by a double edged spear that greatly
marked the land.  I took the blow for this nation.  My purposes will be
fulfilled.  I say that NOW will flow over North America and over many 
nations of the earth a fresh release of blood & water from My side. The 
blood is for the covering of sin - people will being turning to Me by the 
thousands.  The water is for the healing (Ez.47:12) of broken bodies that 
will again bring many to Me."

Then Jesus continued, "These days will be the best of days for My Church."
