24-JULY-2014

This last Thursday night we had several themes that came forward during prayer.  The most prevalent theme may have been open heavens over Mankato, MN. We received pictures of angels riding in on waves of the wind of the Spirit. The angels were coming in from all directions in waves and coming to rest, hovering over this city (Mankato) and this region (MN River Valley) They appeared to be riding the wind, in a horizontal position like a person might body surf in the ocean, except the waves were waves of the wind. 

We discussed the release of God's providence over this city and the region.  
Mankato consistently moves up in Quality of life ratings over the last several years. 
2011  - Mankato places in the top 25 in the nation
2012  - Mankato 11th place in the nation
2013  - Mankato 10th place in the nation
2014  - Mankato in 3rd place in the nation

We recognized that the  numerous construction projects recently under way are a sign of good toward this city by God. First the natural and then the spiritual, we believe that there has been a shift in the atmosphere over Mankato. And that it has been going on for a while now, although unperceived by most.

The following night (July 25) we had a guest speaker from Sturgis, Michigan for a special meeting at the church. He was unaware f anything we had spoken the night before. 

He began to speak about our city, (Mankato) that the favor of God was on it. He went on to say Mankato was listed as the 10th most desirable place to live in the USA. (source unknown, but someone said it was published in the Mankato Free Press in January 2014. Someone else interjected that, Mankato was just named the 3rd best city in the US for small business by Forbes Magazine this was posted in the Mankato Free press on Thursday July 24th the same day as we were proclaiming God's favor over our city.  

News articles that confirm this process of financial prosperity coming to Mankato.

Our View: Mankato ranks near top again


The Free Press
Thumbs up to the governments, businesses and people of the Mankato region for once again working together in ways that improve the community's economic standing.
Forbes ranked the Mankato/North Mankato area 10th in the country for Best Small Places for Business and Careers. The region was compared to all other MSAs in the country with populations of fewer than 250,000 people. It's a move up for the region which was ranked 25th in 2011 and 11th in 2012. The region finished ahead of St. Cloud (55th) and Rochester (35th).
Forbes considers 12 metrics in ranking the regions, including business costs and educational attainment. Other measures include job growth, income growth and projected economic growth. The ranking also includes cultural and recreational opportunities.
The Mankato region continues to pile up quality of life measures and it doesn't surprise residents, but it's reasonable to conclude that a lot of institutions, people and businesses work together in the Mankato/North Mankato region. Conflicts are resolved and solutions to problems are arrived at in collaborative ways. There are very few turf battles. Employers find governments mostly easy to work with to expand economic opportunities.
The Forbes ranking is something everyone can take pride in.

Mankato moves up in Forbes business ranking

The Free Press
— Forbes released its list of “Best Small Places for Business and Careers,” ranking Mankato 11th best. 
The ranking was among Metropolitan Statistical Areas with a population less than 250,000.
The Mankato-North Mankato MSA, which includes all of Blue Earth and Nicollet counties, has a population of approximately 97,000.
Last year the Mankato area was 25th on the list.
“Continued rankings like this reaffirm Greater Mankato’s continued focus and presence as a place where businesses and employees can thrive,” said Greater Mankato Growth President & CEO Jonathan Zierdt.
The Forbes list included 147 MSAs. Forbes considers 12 metrics relating to job growth (past and projected), costs (business and living), income growth over the past five years, educational attainment and projected economic growth through 2014. They also factor in quality of life issues like crime rates, cultural and recreational opportunities. 
Business costs and educational attainment are given the most weighting in the overall ranking.

  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...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

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...
