God Spoke This Vision

I have been asked, "Where did this Vision originate from?" The Father woke me up a few months back at 2:00 am and said, "The Upper Room." So I proceeded into prayer asking and listening to what this meant and this is what He said,

“Son, the Upper Room is where it began, it is where my people where on their knees praying in one mind one accord, awaiting my Spirit. It was then their hearts were open to whatever I had to bring. Their desperation for me was unified and focused. It is time that my people return to the upper room. Do not be deceived into believing the ‘upper room’ in general was the answer, nay, my Spirit can, will and was poured out in all areas, never being confined to one place, but Son, it was the upper room of their hearts that please me so. If was their hearts desire to come up higher and receive from me all that I had to offer. This is what I have called you to do in the city of Omaha. Do you not remember when I spoke to you concerning my church returning to homes? You will begin in Omaha a place of prayer, worship and transformation. This will begin in a home, and yes, there will be an upper room. If you gather, my Spirit will show up. If you pray, my Spirit will help transform your city. If you humble yourselves, my Spirit will equip you to do the work of the ministry.

“Father, what should I do?”

Son, if you attempt to do anything, it will fail, allow my Spirit to prepare the way. Pray! Cease not from praying! Begin to till the ground in Omaha, so when the time is right, seeds may be sown, watered and harvested. Do Nothing on your own, but allow Me to bring unto you the resources and people necessary to work this vision of Mine. I will bring unto you My People, I will bring unto you My Resources, I am the promoter, do not resort to clever advertising or witty means of receiving donations, but trust that I will be your marketing agent, I will be your provider! Step out and I will be your Rock, Step out and I will be the wind in your sail. And most of all Step out in faith, that I am for you and not against you. Trust in what you have heard, for it is I.

Then as I continued to pray and meditate on this word, I consistantly ask the Lord to reveal to me the What, Where, When, and Hows. Over the course of a visit out to KC International House of Prayer, and Christian transformation summit and hours in prayer, the Holy Spirit began revealing to me the answers.

What-described above
Where-It appears from this word above that it would be in an actual house. I saught the Lord on this matter because I kept feeling it would be a building. He then spoke this to me "Son, I said, my word says It will be called a House of Prayer. This will begin in a Home, my Home, my House...You're generation misinterprets my word often. You assume that the word Church means a physical building but neh, my Church is a group of believers gathered together in my name. So my house my home is not a physical destination but rather any place where my people gather together and invite me to reside.
When-The Lord spoke to me this during my prayer time "It will be established within 1 year from November 1st 2007".
How-Well this obviously, to our westernized church is the hardest one to answer because it involves money. I personally am under the full belief that if God gives you a vision, He WILL provide all the necessary tools to accomplish it. It's God's Will; it's God's Bill! About two weeks after the original word above, my wife Valerie shared what the Lord had spoken to her regarding the financial aspects of the dwelling place for this ministry. The Lord said to her, "You will not have to borrow one penny for funding this ministry. This ministry will be debt free."
Well as you can read from below, our ministry's stance is that we will not ask for donations, but rather we will allow the Holy Spirit to lead His people to give as He desires.

We are so absolutely blessed to know that this is the Lord's Vision, as this is what He has said and confirmed to many. I say to all of you reading this blog, my life with the Lord is an Open Book!!!! As you will even see in this word below, the Father is brutally honest with me. I received this word below just a few days before I wrote this post. Please read it with an open heart, as I feel it is not just spoken to me directly, but to all of us, corporately.

My Son, it has been a while since you have allowed me the liberty to write through you like this; so I wish to speak to you pertaining to My vision of my House of Prayer. I am proud that you have submitted to my Holy Spirit and have made yourself available to Me for the purpose I have set before you. Think not that this will be a long, grueling road, like many unwise and immature believers have been so inclined to say. Rather know this my son, as long as your heart is attached to mine and mine to yours, your road individually, your road corporately will be straight at narrow, needing no signs, needing no directions, but imagine it as if you were tied to the back of a tow truck in neutral and My spirit is driving. Just be obedient to placing your car, your calling, your will, your desires, all in neutral. The more you try to make a way for yourself, the more it will fall short of what I have designed for you. Be as a sailboat in the sea, being taken by the Wind of the air. I will be your wind. I will be!

"My son, wait upon me, wait upon me, I can already tell in this conversation how ancy you are becoming wanting and desiring Me to speak on the topic of the House of Prayer. I can tell within your heart my son that you are wanting me to speaking words of Wisdom, Encouragement, the Foreknowledge, of what I have in store for you and your city. Let patience have its perfect work my son. Don’t be anxious, I have much to say. Don’t give me little time to say it. Here is my lesson to you this day. Wait upon me. It is my ministry, it is my work, it is my vision, and nothing can or will be accomplished unless my Holy Spirit is given FULL authority over the House. This is the key to the success of this ministry. It will not be based on promotional factors, nor programs, nor worship style and music, neh, it will be solely upon whether you my son keep the people in a presence of waiting. Waiting for what you may ask. Waiting for everything. Waiting for my spirit to descend. Waiting for my wisdom, waiting for my understanding, waiting for my finances, waiting for my release, waiting for my presence to abide and dwell with you. Son I promise you, on this day, you must pave the way for what I will do. You must wait on me to make the decisions that are set before you. Don’t give too much thought or heed the logistics of a board, for I will write the bylaws, for I will pick my board, for I will set salaries if need be. Oh yes my son, I said it, I will set salaries if need be. It is never for you, nor a board to make a decision solely based either on experience, culture or opinions when it comes to anything of mine. For the money is mine, every last penny of it, so as I have done with others, I will set within the House of prayer those who will oversee my pennies, who will be diligent to watch and guard the money coming in and going out, but rest assure that every last penny I will desire a say in how it gets applied and used for my kingdom. You may at times question, why so little or why so much, for I say unto you this day, just as it is for you to not know My times and seasons, so is it not your responsibility to know why I lead one to give. Money will not be an issue in this ministry, it will neither break nor loosen the bonds of those working with it, because once my Spirit resides fully in a place, it is hard not to feel the responsibility to guard over my funds with your whole heart, soul, mind and strength.

This ministry will be a light. It will not only be a light to those who haven’t yet experienced my presence and saving grace, but it will be a light to those who have settle for less than my best in their Christian walk. You will be a light in the midst of a dark age of my Church. For the churches and many believers think they are living a New Testament life, worthy of praise and glory, but know this, not only will they have their reward if they continue in that unrighteousness, but many of them will be turned back to the world they are comfortable with. These are those who I have called this house of Prayer to seek after. My Son is very watchful of His Bride and don’t think for a moment that He desires anything less than a spotless, blemish free, Bride….



Hope this blesses all of you!!! With peace and love, Michael
