Oh ya I have a blog.

I am back to the blog.

First off, it is nearly impossible to type when the "e,d, c and 3" keys do not work. It makes emailing and blogging a difficult task to say the least.

Count it all joy!

One good thing is that not being able to use a computer pretty much leaves you with a Bible, books, and 20lb. commentaries. This allows (forces) you to dig into the Bible more.

I did miss being able to write about all the things going on in my life these last couple months. I will recap some of the last couple months in the next few days. It was a whirlwind of activity with many new things happening.

So welcome back Todd to the blog world, you left it, it never left you! There, now I feel better about it.

Some of the upcoming blogposts about my last two months:

  • 8/8/7 New Beginnings (newness of life-Romans 6:4)
  • I met a girl...
  • The Tale of Todd and the two Reagan's
  • The Texas License Plate Phenomenon (I see them everywhere at not just at ihop)
  • Visiting and praying in two of the coolest yet wickedest cities in America (guess what they are; hint they are college towns)
  • Mom's new hip and new home
  • My brothers are coming back to Jesus
  • Praying in tongues (some thoughts after habitually doing this for the last 9 months)

Angels of Revelation



My friend Justin invited me to minister with him at a church in Wichita last weekend. We had the privilege of teaching on the prophetic to a group of people from various churchs who have been going through the School of the Spirit (a Morningstar class to equip believers in the prophetic).







It was awesome to see people from all ages and all walks of life hungry to grow in the prophetic and not just grow but they are itching to get out of the four walls and go get the harvest. After teaching and prophesying to about 25 people we got a real treat. Ray Hughes and Leonard Jones were at the same church that night and the next morning leading the worship and preaching. Also two of Ricky Skaggs' children were playing with Leonard. They brought out the fiddle and the banjo and we got down with Jesus!!



The CauseUSA was also passing through this church. Leonard and Ray and many other annointed "worshipping fathers" were traveling with the Cause. Sunday afternoon we joined the Cause and Operation Rescue (based in Wichita) at the Tiller Abortion Clinic for a prayer vigil. What happened at this prayer vigil was one of the most amazing things I have experienced praying at abortion clinics...



There was an air show in Wichita that same weekend and as we were praying in front of this blood stained building the Blue Angels began to fly over the clinic! Not kind of over the clinic but directly over it again and again!! They would roar over us! There was such a feeling of victory in the air. Such a powerful sign in the natural that God is truly fighting for us, "The LORD Roars from Zion..." (Joel 3 and Amos 1). We felt that these were representing Angels of Revelation, that God is sending a Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to His people and to mothers thinking about abortion and even to the doctors and nurses peforming the murders and to the church to awaken from its sleep of death.


You have to know the history of this paticular clinic in Wichita and some other disturbing news from the city of Wichita. This city has been known as "the abortion capital of the world." Because the doctor, George Tiller will do abortions right up to the last few weeks of a pregnancy, so people will fly in from all over the world because not very many clinics go to that level of depravity.


We are declaring that Wichita is now "the Life capital of the world." And this is already unfolding before our eyes. It is one of the few places on the planet where they are actually teaching the medical profession how to be pro-life. As we all know much of the thinking in the medical field is to treat symptoms and there are levels of greed that run deep in the AMA. And greed is the underlying foundation of most of the pro-death rationale. The Gideon band or intercessors in this city have been through a tough battle for LIFE but they are hanging in there and being strengthened and equiped to cross over in this very hour!


Wichita, Kansas- LIFE Capital of The World!
As I walked from the car to the clinic the first thing I noticed was a house right near the clinic. A guy was mowing his lawn in the middle of this prayer meeting. I couldn't help think of Psalm 37 and the future of the most infamous abortion clinic in the world.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret—it only causes harm.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off;
But those who wait on the LORD,
They shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
The evil of abortion will be cut off; mowed down; whacked! If we wait upon the Lord and do not fret or worry (If we fast and pray and stay in the opposite spirit of murder which is meekness).
For soon; in a little while; in the near future! The George Tiller clinic will be NO MORE!!
Selah...

Eagles removed from In-Danger List.

In 1963 Prayer and Bible reading were removed from U.S. public schools by the Supreme Court. That same year there were only 417 eagle pairs left in all of America.

In 1973 our country made it legal to murder babies, that same year bald eagles were put on the Endangered Species Act. This generation of babies (prophets) has been "In Danger" for 34 years. This is another signpost that abortion is gonna end and the babies will no longer be "In Danger." God is taking them off of the "In Danger" List!! (If the church prays!)

Now in 2007 there is more prayer among the youth in churches, schools and on campuses then ever before in history. At the same time there are 10,000 eagle pairs again flourishing on our soil.

Also Art Katz passed away on the same day June 28th, 2007. One eagle falls into the ground and dies and a whole generation WILL BE BORN to rise and fly!

I would love to hear some comments and more prophetic insight concerning this...



Bald Eagle Soars Off Endangered Species List
It’s official!
After nearly disappearing from most of the U.S., the bald eagle is now flourishing and no longer needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act. The nation’s symbol has recovered from an all-time low of 417 nesting pairs in 1963 to an estimated high of 9,789 breeding pairs today, and will be removed from the list of threatened and endangered species.
To ensure that eagles continue to thrive, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will work with state wildlife agencies to monitor eagles for at least five years. If it appears that bald eagles again need the protection of the Endangered Species Act, the Service can propose to relist the species. The Service is also making the draft post-delisting monitoring plan available and is soliciting public comment for 90 days.
The bald eagle first gained federal protection in 1940, under what was later named the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The law curbed illegal hunting and shooting of eagles for their feathers, but they soon fell victim to another threat: DDT. The widespread use of the pesticide DDT after World War II caused eagle populations to plummet towards extinction. When DDT washed off into waterways, it was absorbed by aquatic plants and animals. When eagles ate contaminated fish, they would then be poisoned. DDT prevented the proper formulation of calcium necessary to produce strong eggshells. Consequently, the thinned eggshells cracked when an adult bird tired to incubate them. Widespread reproductive failure and a precipitous decline in numbers followed. As a result, the bald eagle was protected in 1967 under the precursor to the Endangered Species Act. The eagle continued to be protected when the Endangered Species Act of 1973 was enacted.
The legal protections given the species by these statutes, along with a crucial decision by the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the general use of DDT in 1972, provided the springboard for the Service and its partners to accelerate recovery through captive breeding programs, reintroductions, law enforcement efforts, protection of habitat around nest sites and land purchase and preservation activities.
The bald eagle will continue to be protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

The Heavens declare the Glory of God!

40 years are over! Jerusalem came under Jewish control on June 7, 1967!! These clouds were not just from the worship, this was a Holy moment in His-story with mankind!
It's time to cross over...
to "Break on through to the other side!"


















(click on picture for more)


Did you see the heavens speaking to us tonight? It began at 5:30. You could see what looked like a portal coming down before the service. I had to leave the service right when the glory of God was coming into the service (when David Brymer began his chorus).

When I walked outside the picture above is what I saw. Click on the photo above to see more of the glory shots.
I was struck by Psalm 19 verse 1 (hence the title) and I was specifically feeling verse 5.
"...He set a tabernacle for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber."


Now I know that this is speaking of a bridegroom after consummation of the marriage, but I felt like the sun rays were declaring Jesus is coming out of His chamber (the Father's bosom) after 2000 years! And after I had wrote that down a little boy was standing outside the coffee shop and gazing at the "portal looking" clouds. He said "Look Jesus is coming!" That's enough for me.


Also the song from heaven that David was singing went like this...
Who is this coming?
The King of Glory!

Titans vs. Giants










Global Gatherings on 7/7/7.

I am borrowing this from Matt Lockett's blog (thanks Matt). While we gather at Titans Stadium in Nashville to fast, pray, mourn and cry out to God in humble acknowledgement of our turning from Him and His ways and asking for mercy. Al Gore (meeting at Giants stadium above right) and others will be gathering at various cities around the globe. What are they gonna be doing? SOS (Save Our Selves), ya that's right they are gonna fix all the problems on the planet on their own, apart from God. (I wonder how many churches will join with them? Keep an eye on website for details)

Christianity vs. Humanism, this is the real name of the battle.

hu·man·ism
n.
  1. A system of thought that rejects religious beliefs and centers on humans and their values, capacities, and worth.
  2. Precurser to Antichrist's one world religion.
Chris·ti·an·i·ty
n.

1. A belief that Jesus is the Messiah and through belief in Him (relationship) we can become redeemed from our sinful (human) condition.
2. Acts 3:19-21 "Since the foundation of the world, God's purpose has been to bring all things into harmony with Him, giving mankind an exhilarating and refreshing respite from the fearful and depressing heaviness of living in a sin—laden world. " (commentary on verses)


Istanbul, Turkey
I find it quite interesting that Istanbul, Turkey was chosen as one of the cities. This city has not been a key city on the earth for centuries, until now. Something shifted in Turkey when three of our Christian brothers were brutally martyred earlier this month. Keep your eyes on Turkey, specifically Istanbul and pray for a move of the Holy Spirit in that nation. Want to know more about Turkey's end-time significance: read Joel's Trumpet


The times they are a changin'
as a man named Bob once sang. Truly the times and seasons changed this spring. The times and seasons are in a massive transition right now as we speak.

People get ready, Jesus is coming!!!

This is eerie!

THIS IS LONG, BUT IMPORTANT TO READ, IT CONCERNS JOEL 2


At our prayer room team debrief we talked about dreams. Which lead to end-times that many on the team have had. Which lead to a dream someone had about an earthquake in Missouri.

At a recent staff meeting a word was released (from a dream) about great trouble coming to Missouri. Trouble coming like Missourians have never known. Then she said "I don't know if it is an earthquake or what." She wasn't implying or prophesying that it was gonna be an earthquake at all. But I have found that many times under that kind of prophetic spirit that even our guesses are prophesying. And I left the meeting that day feeling like it was going to be an earthquake.

Now back to the dream in our de-brief. It was an earthquake by St. Louis and it the dream the people were in a house (I assume in KC, because they are all living in KC). And the house they were in went up in the air and so did they. First they felt a little shake, and one person said, "Here comes a big earthquake," and then they could feel major rolling or land movement, however you want to word it. They were unharmed, but were violently moved around.

This is long but it is quotes I took from various websites relating to the New Madrid Fault line. YOU MUST READ THESE:

Among them are three earthquakes that occurred in 1811 and 1812 near New Madrid, MO. They are among the Great earthquakes of known history, affecting the topography more than any other earthquake on the North American continent. Judging from their effects, they were of a magnitude of 8.0 or higher on the Richter Scale. They were felt over the entire United States outside of the Pacific coast. Large areas sank into the earth, new lakes were formed, the course of the Mississippi River was changed, and forests were destroyed over an area of 150,000 acres. Many houses at New Madrid were thrown down. "Houses, gardens, and fields were swallowed up" one source notes. But fatalities and damage were low, because the area was sparsely settled then. The probability for an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or greater is significant in the near future, with a 50% chance by the year 2000 and a 90% chance by the year 2040. A quake with a magnitude equal to that of the 1811- 1812 quakes could result in great loss of life and property damage in the billions of dollars. Scientists believe we could be overdue for a large earthquake and through research and public awareness may be able to prevent such losses. Los Angeles can expect to be mightily damaged by movement on the San Andreas Fault, or the Newport-Inglewood or other neighboring faults, most probably within the next 25 years. But the Eastern and Midwestern states also face ground shaking of colossal proportions, repetitions of such known upheavals as the 1886 Charleston, S.C., quake, the 1755 Boston quake, and the Jamaica Bay quake hundreds of years ago on New York's Long Island. The granddaddy of them all was the 1811-1812 series of three great quakes on the New Madrid Fault (halfway between St. Louis and Memphis beneath the Mississippi), which shook the entire United States. The next time the New Madrid Fault produces such a quake, it is estimated 60 percent of Memphis will be devastated, leaving $50 Billion in damage and thousands of dead in its wake. Memphis, you see - like Armenia - has looked down the barrel of a loaded seismic gun for decades, but has done virtually nothing to move out of the crosshairs. If you look at all the hazards we face in this country, this one would rewrite the definition of 'catastrophic,'" said Jim Wilkinson, head of the Central United States Earthquake Consortium in Memphis, Tenn. "Everything comes through this region. If we go down, it's not just a regional issue — it's a national problem."




You won't believe this next part. They are doing a mock earthquake drill around St. Louis (New Madrid,MO) on June 19, 2007.

Here is a piece of that article:

7.7 — 'a big one'

...and it is in the center of the page just like I put it here!!


JOEL 2:10-The earth quakes BEFORE them...
JOEL 2:11-The LORD gives voice BEFORE (earthquakes before the army comes, before greater troubles) His army,
For His camp is very great;
For strong is the One who executes His word.
For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible;

Who can endure it? (out of the Father's mouth)

May this blogpost truly be fuel and strength to truly walk out what God is calling us to in Joel 2, and not just in Nashville, but right now.

Thanks for the Prayers!

Thanks for all the prayers everybody!

My mom did get out of the hospital and is home recovering. All the tests came back negative concerning the MRSA infection. It turned out to be staff infection. Thank you Jesus! My brother's surgery went well also and he is home. My mom should be able to get a new hip put in within a few weeks. Then it will be two more months of recovery. My mom is in good spirits despite it all.

After spending a lot of time with family and helping around the house I arrived back in KC on Saturday night.

Highlights:
*my mom's life is not in danger and she is much closer to getting a new hip and finishing this ordeal that really has interrupted her life for 2 years.

*Going to one of my favorite places on earth to talk to God. The Sandhills of Nebraska. I had to drive about 10 miles north of my hometown each night to get to my spot, and what a spot it is. The sky is a canopy of stars. I mean a thick canopy. There are no major cities for hundreds of miles so there is no "light pollution" at all. It was difficult to leave each morning, to leave the stars and my Heavenly Father. As always He threw a few stars around the sky for my viewing pleasure.

*Seeing my 8 year old nephew Riley's two baseball games and playing catch with him and his sisters.

*Praying with my Pastor for healing for my mom and praying with my good friend Bruce for the same thing.

*Seeing my brothers and dad.

*Seeing some key prophetic dreams about my family come into play and show me that God is truly at work in their lives.

*Leaving ihop with many friends praying for my mom and family--PRICELESS!
*Coming home to ihop!!

Thanks again for standing with me on behalf of my mom and family!
