Appendix 5 - From the Tip of A Spear…
From Red River Meeting House Ky (Feb 22, 2023) during the Asbury Revival…
While we were praying and worshiping today, I saw a huge heavy spear, being driven down hard into something that looked at first like a flat lead plate. As the tip of the spear smote, the lead became as ice, breaking and cracking in every direction.
Then as I looked outward, my gaze following the direction of the cracks, I became aware of people approaching, from every direction, toward the place where the spear had smote - which had now become a great Cross, and was being elevated High over the Land.

One Foundation Stone:
As the people approached the Cross - the One Alter of Sacrifice - they became One People (John 17:21)…with One Faith…and (I felt the Lord say) “They will all receive ONE BAPTISM”:
I saw a baptism of fire hit the people who had gathered to the Cross: They will preach the Gospel with power in the last days: (I saw fire coming from their mouths as they proclaimed the good news of the risen Savior.
The Lord will wash this remnant with the Spirit of Burning (Isaiah 4:4) through the Word of the Living God (Jeremiah 23:29).
Just as Paul understood that outside of the Cross, he was nothing but condemned to eternal death and Hell, so will be the conviction of this remnant…they will cleave to the Cross with their whole lives - and compel others to do the same.

The people I saw were all wearing crowns, but as they approached the Cross they cast down their crowns and fell on their faces in penitent worship.
I knew that the “crowns” they wore, represented all manner of “good deeds” - things carried out in the Name of God, but for the glory of man. Embedded within these crowns were great achievements; great chunks of the “American Dream”; trophies of academic, humanitarian and even spiritual achievements - plans for building God’s Kingdom, plans for “revival”, many great and elaborate plans - were now all being cast down before the Cross of Christ, which was being lifted high. (1John 2:15-17). As they did this, the people would fall on their faces, weeping, utterly penitent before the Lord.
The breaking and cracking continued until I could see great chasms appearing - as if America’s foundations were shifting.
(More information on this can be read below in links 1 & 2.)
The people I saw in this vision seemed to be from around the age of 30 upwards:
While God is pouring out His rivers of living water upon a generation that so desperately needs to drink from Him, (the Asbury Revival) I am aware more than ever, of a call to repentance of a different kind, that is upon we who are older. We must humble ourselves and return to that which we were taught at first…the simple childlike faith of one who has fully embraced the Cross of Jesus Christ.
“Lord raise this generation up!” I keep hearing…
“NO! - Lord bring this young generation low - in deep reverence of You and insatiable hunger for Your Ways…bring them low that they will dig deep for the ancient wells (Genesis 26:18-26) - that they will search fervently for the ancient paths (2Kings 22) - that they will stoop down …to uncover something far beyond Capitalist America…something much deeper! “I want the God of the Bible!”, I kept hearing them say. “I want the Word of God!” (See: 2Chronicles 34:8-21) As if a desperate desire to know the God of their forefathers had suddenly erupted within them. They were being brought down to uncover America’s original Foundation Stone! See also Link #1 in footnotes.

“Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let him who has My Word speak My Word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 23:28)
This was more than “revival” - this was Reformation: A return to the pure and undiluted Word of God.
Is not My Word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”(Jeremiah 23:29).
Going back to the spear that I saw at the beginning - which I knew represented the Word of God: I also knew that the force by which it had smote the lead - a force great enough to fracture it - had come from the accumulated and united prayers of the Saints - not only in America, but also other nations…and specifically those nations where the Church was under great persecution, such as China.
The Lord has laid it on the nations to pray for America. Why? Because America’s primary mandate from the Lord - the Covenant made with the original pilgrims - was a declaration of dependence upon Him…a pledge that:
"…from these very shores the Gospel shall go forth to not only this New World but the entire world." (Rev Robert Hunt 1607)
Here is America’s original Foundation Stone.
And Matthew 24:14 is our goal.
I believe the Lord showed me that this goal will only be fulfilled when America stands on her original Foundation: For the full Gospel of Jesus cannot go forth with the power and authority needed, from any other foundation.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” (1Peter 1:14-16)
Times and Seasons…
1Kings 19:10 He said, “I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.” 11 And he said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord (Jeremiah 23:29), but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper. 13 And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”(Read 1Kings 19:1-18)

As if the Lord was giving Elijah a gentle rebuke: “What would you have me do? Destroy them with fire? Wipe them out with an earthquake? But my ways are not your ways…”
Just as here, the Lord shows Elijah that there is a time for judgment (see vs 15-19) - but also a time for mercy (for the sound of a low whisper), so there will come a time and a season for the fires of refining throughout this Land…for the Glory of the Lord to be manifested among us - but not yet. For this time and season is one of Mercy…where the Lord is opening doors for people in this Land to come and drink freely, and be revived. We must make the most of this season we are in: It will not last forever.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.(Eccl. 3:11)
May God have mercy our nation and the nations of the world. Amen.
