GOD'S WORD FOR CANADA

CANADIAN PROPHETIC COUNCIL REPORT - Part 1

In May 2007, prophets from across Canada gathered in Ottawa to pray and seek the Lord for a word from Him for the nation. From Parliament Hill, Stacey Campbell, founder of the Canadian Prophetic Council, reports their findings:

We came together in Ottawa strategically to seek the Lord for a governmental word, or what is God saying to the nation of Canada at this time? We’d planned this over a year ago and it just so happened, I didn’t even know until the very day that we landed on the calendar, the Jewish calendar – forty-year anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. We all just went “whoa!” what is the Lord saying? And He began to speak to us out of Revelations 21 that God is bringing His people back together. He is uniting us and in the nation of Canada, this is His heart.

One of the main themes that God showed us is that this is a convergence of times. In fact when the Canadian Prophetic Council visited Parliament Hill one of our young prophets saw a vision of an angel of the Lord standing over the Justice Building with one leg on either side. And he said, “Lord, what is this?” It was a huge angel holding a trumpet. And He said “this is the angel of the winds of change, and it’s about to decree a change in the times and seasons.”

2007 in April marks the 90th year anniversary of Vimy Ridge. Vimy Ridge in World War I was a key focal point of the war. The British had tried to take Vimy Ridge from the Germans. The French had tried to take Vimy Ridge from the Germans. Neither nation had been successful. They’d tried over and over again. But finally they said to the Canadians, “See what you can do.” And the Canadians at that moment ninety years ago developed a strategy which was a “both-and” strategy. They both bombed from the air just ahead of the troops and then they sent the ground troops in to take land. And before that they had only been able to advance by feet. And they had lost 190,000 soldiers before this point.

When the Canadians developed this strategy, again it was about unity. The whole Canadian army had to walk in such unity. First the bombs, then the advance. First the bombs, then the advance. They perfected a strategy that they were able to take territory not by feet but by yards, then kilometers, and finally they took the entire hill. And the other countries said, “This day Canada has truly become a nation in the eyes of the nations of the earth.” And God began to speak to us prophetically, “That’s the strategy I want you to take in this hour.” First the intercession, the fasting, the prayer - then the advance into reformation of society. Send the troops; send the young generations. Send them out there to reform media, government, arts. But back them up, first of all with intercession, fasting and prayer.

In 1967, Canada hosted Expo ’67. And the theme of that Expo was “Man and His World.” It exalted man. It brought in a philosophy of humanism that permeated the times and the seasons of that generation. And we believe that God says “you have a three year window -” till the Olympics that are hitting Canada, in Vancouver in 2010, to put people in place in the next international event where nations around the world will gather in Canada yet once more to bring the glory of God and let Him have dominion.

CANADIAN PROPHETIC COUNCIL REPORT - Part 2

1967 was the summer of love where a generation in one generation entered into a very short period of time that changed the moral fiber of North America. We believe that God is giving us a window of opportunity this summer to re-change the moral fiber of a generation. Sometimes there are strategic happenings that happen only in a very short space of time but what happens in those kairos moments affect an entire generation. God always works in generation. The forty-year anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.

The forty-year anniversary of the summer of love, 1967, where young people came from all across North America, by the tens of thousands from Canada down to San Francisco and just opened up the whole continent to immorality. Free love, free sex, free drugs.

One of the things that we heard the Lord say is “Sound the alarm.” There is a divine window of opportunity -- We can take it or not take it -- Where a generation can come together in fasting and prayer. Corporate, corporate, corporate is the word. Corporate fasting and prayer. And along those lines we decided we’re all going to join the calls that are going on across North America, and Canada is going to rise to the call.

We’re going to take a team of Canadian youth all the way down to The Call to join 120,000 young people in Titan Stadium in Nashville in 07-07-07.

We actually had several people that had dreams. And in the dreams they were in Catholic Churches, and by the hundreds there were Catholic youth just on fire for Jesus. There was revival going on in the Catholic Church. And we went in and we joined them, and the Lord began to speak that there’s young reformers coming out of the Catholic Church. They’re going to work with us. We’re going to labour together. The new Jerusalem, all tribes, all tongues, all denominations are going to bring reform in this generation if we can work together.

One of the deepest tones that we heard over the course of our waiting on the Lord the last couple of days, was the sound of enduring love. And we just heard the heart of God. We had images of the cross of Jesus Christ, and the longing for the glory of God. Compassion, compassion, compassion, where we don’t want to have any self-righteousness in this move. Of course we want to see righteous laws, but we want to see it in a way that nobody is despised, but everybody is loved into the kingdom of God and brought into the kingdom of God with the heart of God.

So the deep sound that was heard was out of Romans 8, where there was a longing of creation, the groaning of creation. That deep tone where we could hear not just the mighty power and acts of God which we all long to see, but all those mighty power and acts coming out of the heart of God.

The strategy for the summer of love. It’s going to be a whole new kind of love. It’s enduring love, the enduring love of God. It’s going to be Vimy Ridge, working together, a united army, a Joel 2 army that doesn’t break ranks when they through the fences -- defenses. And God is doing amazing things in this hour. And as prophets we were so excited. We just ended with a whole session on the joy of the Lord. We were so excited because God is going to change times and seasons. We are going to overturn, we are going to overtake. He will have dominion from sea to shining sea.

CANADIAN PROPHETIC COUNCIL REPORT - Decrees

As we waited on the Lord together, we decided that we would come up with five statements that we could decree over the nation of Canada. We would like to see every Christian say these over their city, over their family, over the whole nation of Canada. Or we want to see every church come together on Sunday and begin to say these things as decrees over our nation. We want to speak with one voice out of the church of Canada these things.
1. Glory: Canada is filled with the knowledge of the glory of God.
2. Unity: Canada will be one as Jesus and the Father are one.
3. Dominion: The Lord will have sovereign rule over every sphere of society in Canada.
4. Passion: Canada will burn with the enduring love of God.
5. Fear of the Lord: Canada delights in the fear of the Lord.
