RETRACING STEPS TAKEN IN 1993 - 20 YEARS AGO!

By -
20 Years Completed, poised for Third Sabbath Year

For those of you who know me personally, you may have heard me share lately my impression that things of 20 years ago were being RESTORED OR RETURNED this year. It was loosely connected to the whole declaring Jubilee thing but actually came originally as part of a dream I had much earlier this year.

In that dream of a house collapsing, I was calling people to come out of the house before it collapsed.

In my daytime job, I work for a friend who first connected me to Mankato 21 years ago, although he no longer physically lives here, he will remain connected to Mankato.  Coincidentally, I am currently preparing to move out of that very house (the one in my dream and the one I lived in the first six weeks in Mankato.) And I am moving back into a home office, the same office I moved into at home, 20 yrs. ago, late in 1993.) At that particular time, I worked for Cellular 2000, and they announced that there was a shortage of room and that all salespeople had to establish our offices at our homes. We were given only a few days to prepare so I moved home to an unfinished basement.

Now in December of 2013, I am returning after 20 years to the very same place again. To office out of the home. Why? Because the house in my dream, the one I work in right now has been sold. The closing is on the last day of 2013, the last day to fulfill the 20 years from that previous event. Again this time I have only a few days to prepare to move back in. I believe these circumstances are tied to the reason I moved here in 1993. I believe the 20 yrs. marks the end of waiting... for the move of God coming into Mankato.

YOU MAY REMEMBER THIS EXCERPT TAKEN FROM A PREVIOUS POST OF MINE.

Twenty (kaph) = Expectancy & Redemption

Two (2) events from 20 yrs. ago and two (2) meanings associated with the number 20.
  • July 31, 1993 - 20 yrs. ago I came to Mankato 20 = Expectancy + Redemption
  • July 28, 1993 - 20 yrs. ago I received a Prophetic word, you have run the 100-yard dash, you have run the 440, you have run the mile, but now I am preparing you to run the marathon.
Kaph is a palm, an open hand, in Hebrew. It signifies giving freely with the palm up, or covering sin with the palm down.
There is some disagreement on the meaning of the number 20. Bullinger quotes Dr. Milo Mahan and appears to agree with him that it is the number of expectancy. Ed Vallow says it means Redemption.
Bullinger cites Gen. 21:38, 41 saying that Jacob waited expectantly 20 years to get possession of his wives and property before being released. However, this could also indicate that it took 20 years for Jacob to be redeemed from bondage.
Bullinger also cites Judges 4:3, showing that Israel waited 20 years to be delivered from Jabin's oppression. However, we could also say that Israel was redeemed from bondage after 20 years.

As I see it, these examples show the negative and positive sides of a number. When viewed as a time cycle—in this case, 20 years in length—the time indicates a waiting period and can be viewed as negative. But when seen as THE END of the 20 years, that is positive, for it is then the time of redemption. We may view virtually all numbers in this way. When viewed as time cycles, most of these numbers would convey the idea of waiting for the time to be concluded.  the Biblical Meaning of Numbers - Stephen Jones Author

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about ...

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible sc...

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earl...
