The Upcoming Healing Summit–Power Is Increasing


There are various reasons why people do not receive supernatural healings. It is not my purpose to list and comment on those reasons today, nor do I pretend to always know why a person does not receive a healing from God. And I certainly would never insinuate that everyone I pray for is healed; anyone who asserts this is dishonest. My purpose for today’s post is simply to urge individuals to not give up on receiving their healing or miracle.


This is not always easy. We have all prayed for things we did not receive, and when this occurs, the tendency is to question either our faith, God‘s will, or the method. And, sadly, the tendency is also to lose hope and give up. We’ve all been there. 


The Scriptures offer us accounts of those who experienced disappointment regarding being healed of physical conditions. John 5:1-9 shares the account of the man healed at the pool of Bethesda. Lame for all 38 years of his life, he lay daily at the pool, waiting for an angel to move the water in hopes that he could be the first into the pool and be healed. When Jesus asked if he would like to be healed, the man simply said someone always beat him into the water. Clearly, he had lost all hope of being healed. Jesus, however, ended the man’s wait and made him completely whole.


And in Mark 5:25-34, the story is related of a woman who had suffered a hemorrhage for 12 years. She had exhausted all of her resources on treatments and physicians, but had only grown worse (verse 26). Certainly, naturally speaking, there would have been little or no hope of recovery. Then she heard about Jesus, and He was nearby. “If I could just touch him,” she thought, “I would be well.”


Two problems confronted her, however, in getting to Him. Multitudes were around him, making it difficult to press through the crowd. And secondly, according to Jewish law, her hemorrhaging made her “unclean.” Consequently, she was forbidden to touch anyone else, as it would make them ceremonially “unclean” (Leviticus 15:19-33).


In her desperation, she overcame 12 years of disappointment and hope deferred, ignored the Levitical law, pushed through the crowd, and touched Jesus. God honored her faith, and rather than Jesus being defiled, she was healed. 


In Acts 3:1-10, we are told of another individual who had been lame from birth. He was now over 40 years old (Acts 4:22). Jesus, the Great Healer from Galilee who had healed thousands of people in Israel, had walked by the man dozens, if not hundreds, of times. It is impossible that this man had not heard of Jesus. No doubt he had hoped… but, no, Jesus had chosen not to heal this man. He obviously had given up hope for a miracle - he asked Peter and John for money, not healing.


And yet, this man was not totally accurate in thinking God had chosen not to heal him. The Lord had not decided against doing so; it just wasn’t yet time for his miracle when Jesus passed by. However, in Acts 3, Peter discerned by the leading of Holy Spirit that not only was it God‘s will to do so, it was now time. In one of the most dramatic miracles recorded in Scripture, the man was instantly healed and became an incredible sign and wonder to all of Israel. 


Three disappointed people. 1) “Someone else always seems to be healed, but not me.” 2) “ I have tried everything, and doctors/medicine can’t help me.” 3) “The great miracle worker called Jesus passed me by.” And yet, the miracles came.


I know it can be difficult to persevere, but don’t give up on receiving your healing/miracle. We have entered a time in which numerous prophetic voices have stated that a new season of the miraculous is being birthed in the spirit. There are seasons when the actions of a nation or people hinder God’s power and blessing from being released to them. In His grace and mercy, God works to produce repentance and a return to Him. When this occurs, He is able to pour out His Spirit once again, which includes many blessings. Healing and miracles are two of the blessings always associated with revival.


I, and many others, believe we have entered one of these seasons. Millions will be saved, and many will be healed supernaturally. When we discern that it is time for the “rain” of God’s Spirit to be poured out in a fresh way, we are instructed to ask for it (Zechariah 10:1). When Elijah discerned that it was time for rain, he had to travail in prayer to birth it (1 Kings 18). When Daniel discerned that it was time for restoration in Israel, he had to enter a season of prayer to produce this (Daniel 9). 


This principle, combined with discernment of the Lord's timing, is why some of my friends and I are conducting the Healing Summits in Middletown, Ohio. We are asking God for a broad release of healing rain, and we are also doing so for specific individuals who desperately need supernatural healings. We have received credible reports of many healings in the previous summits. Most of them have not been life-threatening conditions, but simply healings related to injuries, pain, and other debilitating illnesses. However, there have been several reports of verified healings regarding tumors, cancers, and other life-threatening conditions. We are asking for more, believing for bona fide, visible, undeniable signs and wonders. 


The next Healing Summit is June 27, once again being held at the Oasis Church in Middletown, Ohio. Please join us, either in person or online. Petition the Lord with us for this outpouring of signs and wonders. If you need a miracle, ask for yours. If you are a leader, please agree in prayer with us for the release of signs and wonders throughout the earth. Ask for miracles in your services on a regular basis. Consider joining us via the livestream, and when we begin praying for people, do the same in your gathering. We believe the corporate agreement of the body of Christ is accomplishing much. You need not guarantee miracles when you gather, just give God the opportunity to move.


Let’s agree in prayer right now for the increase of signs and wonders throughout the earth.


Pray with me:


Father, You say in Your Word that signs and wonders accompany the preaching of the gospel. Although there has been a lull in the manifestation of this over the past few decades, we believe the atmosphere of earth is pregnant once again with your miraculous power. You told us to ask for the release of this power. Therefore, we are doing so. Send the rain of miracles throughout the world, miracles of such magnitude that people are awakened to the reality of who You are.


Our hearts are moved, Father, over the suffering of people. Use us to bring healing and deliverance to others. Release the gifts of Your Spirit to perform these miracles and deliverances. Increase faith and revelation among believers, enabling them to believe for this, and stretch forth Your hand to heal. 


Use this service in Ohio on June 27 to increase signs and wonders throughout the earth. We ask that Your power be present to heal, and that signs and wonders be done in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Use this gathering and the miracles that occur to bring great glory to Him. And in His name we pray, amen.


Our decree:


We decree that power to heal the sick is increasing in the body of Christ, both here in America and throughout the world.

Buy the Opportunity


One of my favorite verses on revival is Acts 3:19: “Therefore, repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.”


As is often the case, it is challenging for our English translations to fully convey the Greek content of this verse. The phrase “times of refreshing” is loaded with meaning. “Times” is translated from the word kairos, which means “strategic or opportune time.”(1)


Kenneth Wuest, a very literal translator of the New Testament, uses the following phrases to translate kairos: “epoch-making periods” (Acts 3:19); “strategic, significant period” (Acts 12:1); “strategic, epochal time” (Acts 19:23). Using a combination of his words, kairos times are strategic, significant, and potentially epoch-making. America and the nations are about to experience an “epoch-making” revival.(2)


I checked Mr. Webster’s meaning of the hyphenated phrase “epoch-making” to gain greater understanding. He said it means “significant by virtue of ensuing historical developments,”(3) “a period of time characterized by momentous events or changes,”(4) and “a fixed point of time from which succeeding years are numbered.”(5)


That’s what we’re after - “momentous events and changes.” A revival so great it is “historical,” one “from which succeeding years are numbered.” This is how we speak of historical floods, such as the Johnstown Flood of 1889 or the Big Thompson Canyon (Colorado) Flood of 1976. The size of a flood is measured by how often one of that proportion occurs: a 50-year flood, a 100-year flood, etc. We want a flood of the river of God so great that it is epoch-making, even historical.


The word “refreshing” in Acts 3:19 is powerful. Anapsuxis is composed of two words, ana and psucho. Strong’s Concordance says ana means “repetition, intensity or reversal.”(6) Zodhiates agrees, and adds the word “increase.”(7) Psucho means “to breathe, blow, or refresh with cool air.”(8) Here are five definitions of anapsucho or anapsuxis:


  • “to draw breath again”

  • “to revive by fresh air”(9)

  • “to cool or refresh with a breath”

  • “to regain strength” 

  • “restoration”(10)


Using these definitions, Peter is saying that proper responses to Holy Spirit allow God to breathe on us, revive us, restore us, and give us new strength.


I especially like the concept of intensity in ana. God wants to breathe on us again intensely. Peter was probably thinking back a few days to Pentecost when the breath of God blew intensely, once more filling humans with the Spirit and life of God.


In Ezekiel 37:1-14, dry bones are used to picture spiritual death. When reversing this, God first caused the bones to reconnect; then He put skin on them, “but there was no breath in them” (v. 8). The prophet was then told, “Prophesy to the breath…say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life”’” (v. 9).


God’s life-producing breath is what was released in Genesis 2:7. He breathed into Adam’s lifeless body, infusing it with His life. In Acts 3, Peter probably thought back through history - Genesis, Ezekiel, Pentecost - and prophesied that this life-giving breath could blow again if the people would repent and turn to God.


They did, and God did. Many winds of revival have blown since, and God is ready to do it yet again! He is going to release His breath, another wind, to our generation, and He will do so with great intensity.


Buy the Opportunity!

We must seize the opportunity. Twice, the New Testament tells us to “redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:15-17; Colossians 4:5, KJV). “Redeem” is translated from exagorazo, meaning “buy or purchase,” and “time” is kairos: buy the opportune time.(11)


Indeed, opportunities must be bought; they cost us time, energy, abilities, money,  even our very lives. Those who don’t spend what is necessary and “buy” them, lose opportunities.


When Apple Computer fell on difficult days, its young chairman, Steven Jobs, traveled from Silicon Valley to New York City. His purpose was to convince Pepsico’s John Sculley to move west and run his struggling company. As the two men overlooked the Manhattan skyline from Sculley’s penthouse office, the Pepsi executive started to decline Jobs’s offer.


“Financially,” Sculley said, “you’d have to give me a million-dollar salary, a million-dollar bonus, and a million-dollar severance.”


Flabbergasted, Jobs gulped and agreed - if Sculley would move to California. But Sculley would commit only to being a consultant from New York. At that, Jobs issued a challenge to Sculley: “Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want to change the world?”


In his autobiography, Odyssey, Sculley admits Jobs’ challenge “knocked the wind out of me.” He said he’d become so caught up with his future at Pepsi, his pension, and whether his family could adapt to life in California, that an opportunity to “change the world” nearly passed him by. Instead, he put his life in perspective and went to Apple.(12)


We are not going to miss our opportunity to change the world! We will buy the opportunity for an epoch-making revival. 


Allow God to increase vision in you until it motivates you to action. Vision is a life-changer, a rearranger, a cause producer. Its hunger can be insatiable, a motivating force creating energy and energizing creativity. Passionate vision moves us from mere mental assent to physical exertion. It separates the hearer from the doer, converts from disciples, and mediocrity from excellence. It is also what separates a ripe harvest from a reaped harvest (see Matthew 9:37).


Let’s once again ask for increased vision and greater passion for a historical, epoch-making revival, and for willing hearts to buy the opportunity.


Pray with me:


Father, we ask You to increase our passion and vision for the epoch-making revival You have planned. Light the flames of passion in the church to such intensity that no price will be too great to pay. Awaken our hearts to seize the moment, buying the opportune time that has been created. Bring greater vision to the church, motivating us to write history.


Breathe on the dry bones of the earth and give them life. Save and deliver, redeem and transform. Make this revival epochal, historic, unlike any other. We believe entire nations can and will be born again in a day. Do it, we pray! Send the rushing, mighty wind of Acts 2. Give us miracles on the level of Acts 3 that cause millions to be saved. Blow Your breath all over the world.


We ask these things through Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.


Our decree:


We decree that the life-giving breath of God is bringing an epoch-making revival to earth again, and this cannot be stopped!

Eagles and Arrows


Our friend, Gina Gholston, recently sent the following word to me. I find it very interesting that it references past dreams regarding the Lord merging the fruit of several revivals in history, including the Welsh revival. When sending the word Gina had no idea I was going to Wales, and I did not know what she had written in this post until I returned. Gina shares:


The Lord has been reminding me of two dreams I had a few years ago. Dutch has talked about these dreams before, so they are not new to those who have followed the GH15 posts through the years. But I am feeling that there is a prophetic revelation God wants us to receive through them now. Although we find ourselves in a time of necessary governmental shifting in our nation, we, as the Ekklesia, must not forget that the one thing that will save our nation is an awakening to an awareness of God! We have now begun to witness that awakening!


In 2020, I had a dream that took place on the grounds of the Red River Meeting House near Russellville, Kentucky. A mighty revival occurred there in 1800. In the dream, I saw a geyser burst forth, releasing waters of revival, and I heard the Lord say, “It’s time!” He was revealing that wells of revival would be opened once again.


I then saw 100 bald eagles being sent out from that place, drenched in the waters of that opened well; each was carrying three arrows and a rolled-up piece of paper in their talons.


In the dream, I also saw lines being drawn on a map of the United States. Those lines connected the Red River Meeting House, Cane Ridge (1801 revival), and Azusa Street (revival in1906), forming what appeared to be a spearhead. Then another line came from the nation of Wales (revival of 1903-1904), forming what looked like the shaft of the spear. Each of these is a location that experienced major moves of God in past years that brought spiritual transformation. Seeing this formation in the dream, the Lord said to me, “I am going to spearhead another greater move of My Spirit in your time, and it’s time.”


Then, in 2021, I had another dream in which I was standing with someone on a deck-like structure in the heavens. From this place, we were looking down, observing the United States of America. I did not know who the man was standing next to me, but I could feel a strong anointing from him, and his presence was causing me to have an indescribable hope for America!


As we looked down, we saw what first appeared to be warplanes flying over the U.S. The man next to me nonchalantly said, “Oh my, I wonder what is happening in America? And what do all of these warplanes mean?” He said this, not with concern, but almost as though he wanted me to see something that wasn’t obvious. He looked at me as if I should know the right answer to his questions.


I said, “Those are not warplanes. Those are eagles! I have seen them before in a dream. There are one hundred of them, and they are carrying water from the well of revival that has been unlocked and is now gushing forth into the nation.”


I noticed that each eagle was still drenched with water from the opened revival well of Red River Meeting House, and in their talons were the 300 arrows and the rolled-up piece of paper. 


As the eagles flew across America, they suddenly began to dive simultaneously toward the land. It appeared that they would hit the ground, but instead, they leveled off and began to drop their 300 arrows. [Intercessors did a prophetic act regarding this in 2023, burying 300 arrowheads throughout the nation.] When each arrow hit the ground, it ignited as though it had hit a gas pocket. Up from that spot would come a spiraling column of fire. Then the water the eagles were releasing began to be ignited by the fire until it seemed that all of America was ablaze.


In the dream, I fell to my knees as I became very aware of the power and presence of God! The gentleman next to me then began to speak under a heavy anointing.


“You have seen correctly! This is how America will be saved! Do not doubt it! A sweeping move of the Spirit of God is coming, igniting the land with the fire of His presence, bringing a swift and undeniable awakening. What appears to be one thing is about to be revealed as another thing. Some are in fear because of how things appear, but others SEE with holy awe and expectation! The eagles are on assignment. They carry ‘Fire Power.’ They carry glory, and at the precise moment, their arrows will be released, and they will hit their targets, and the move of God will ignite and spread very quickly!” He then said again, “DO NOT DOUBT IT!”


I then instinctively knew that this man was Duncan Campbell. That was the end of the dream.


Duncan Campbell represents a major move of God that took place in the Hebrides Islands from 1949-1952. The revival fires that burned in those islands were so powerful and transforming that multitudes were born again as the glory of God filled their land. It is of great significance that God put this man in the dream. It declares to us that the same transforming power of God that saved the Hebrides Islands will manifest in our time to save our nation!


As I have pondered these dreams, I feel that Yahweh is revealing we have now entered the time of fulfillment. The dropping of the fiery arrows pictured by the prophetic acts of planting 300 arrowheads in 2023, is igniting fires of awakening in America and around the world. Strategic pockets of revival history and prophetic promises for now are merging. We are seeing it happen! Though it may have seemed that America was destined for emanate destruction, God is saying, “Look again! See things from My perspective.” He has a plan! He has declared His verdict: America shall be saved! That salvation will come by way of another great move of His Spirit! This is a prophetic promise that has been “set to the rhythm of Heaven’s time clock,” and now God says, “It’s time!”


Two very significant aspects of releasing an arrow:

  1. Arrows are piercing. They leave an undeniable mark on whatever they hit, and,

  2. The releasing of an arrow is well-timed and intentional. If an arrow hits a target, it’s because it was specifically aimed at that target.


God knows the location of the fire pockets. He has determined this moment to strike the land with the demonstration of His power, which will ignite and spearhead this next great awakening! Watch for this. Stay focused and filled with expectation. The fire may seem small at first, but a spark can quickly become a blazing fire, demonstrating the reality of our all-powerful, all-consuming God. Do not doubt this!


Pray with me:


Yahweh, saturate us with the waters of Your prophetic promises and purposes that You have determined for our times. Light the flames! May we witness an undeniable move of Your Spirit ignited by the release of the piercing arrows of Your glory! Cause the church to change her perspective, Lord, no longer judging things by what we see through the lens of our natural understanding. Cause us to look with holy awe and expectation. We will now witness the supernatural awakening as You spearhead another greater move of Your Spirit.


And Father, we refuse to grow complacent in praying for the governmental changes needed in America. For decades now, the left has used activist liberals in the courts to further their radical agendas. We appeal to You to expose their corrupt efforts and thwart what they are currently doing. Rein in and restore integrity to our judicial system, from the top down, we ask. In Jesus’ name, amen.


Our decree:


We decree that the arrows from God’s glory are hitting their targets, and the fire of Holy Spirit is igniting the land with awakening.
