According to Exclusive Premium Statistics, by 2020 there will be 2.1 billion smart-phone users in the world. This invisible electronic phone network is linked together by all of the telephone networks across the globe. This technology was given to us by God and it is a visible example of God‘s invisible kingdom. It also shows the potential God is about to reveal in His invisible kingdom.

The smart phone that you place in your pocket or purse is the device you use to communicate with. And so it is that your human body is the device that we use to communicate with God and to network in the kingdom of God. God created us with all of the hardware and software we need to work and connect with His invisible kingdom. The Holy Spirit inside of you is the daily program God puts inside your tummy every day if you ask Him to. The software of the Holy Spirit is so advanced, it can search every day about everything that you are facing, right from where you’re sitting. It is the complete search engine.

There is a real reason that the Bible calls this invisible network a kingdom, because that’s exactly how it works. The Bible is full of teaching examples and stories. Each one is intricately planned and shows how to use the kingdom of God, a complex worldwide network, to your advantage. The safest and most secure way to use the network of the kingdom of God is through the name of Jesus. He is the King and His name is the door to clear, virus-free communication.

Now let me use an example that just happened to my family as I was sitting at the dinner table at a large theme park while writing this blog. My daughter Rocki said, “The fireworks just ended and I feel the Lord telling us to go out of the park by a way we haven’t gone before.” Our family stood up, and headed towards the main street. There, we saw a door behind the main street, where nobody was. An employee was closing the door, but when my family turned and began walking towards the door, he got busy on the grounds and didn’t close the door until we walked past him. We were headed through this back-alley passageway that led straight to the exit gates. As we walked down the alleyway the Lord spoke to me and said, “Do you see My kingdom network? I am so concerned about you and your family that I provided this passageway for you to leave the park tonight.”

Now to some of you, this may seem like an insignificant event, but God is not that way. He watches over every detail. As a matter of fact, the Scriptures reveal that He actually numbers every hair that is on your head! Sometimes we don’t realize how accurate and detailed God is in our life. This is why every detail that Jesus taught us about the kingdom of God must be followed according to the Scriptures. When He says to give no thought of what you should eat, He means exactly what He says. This is the key to perfect health ~ allowing the Holy Spirit to be your dietitian. Especially when it comes down to the details of your thoughts and intents of your heart.

The future is coming when God will re-organize the structure of the church to a massive network of congregations that assembles and fills entire stadiums. These stadiums have been built in every nation according to God’s purpose.  May mankind can come together and praise His name!

All of us are looking for joy, at least to happen some day in our life. Most of us expect it at the end of a great accomplishment. But let me share a simple secret of how I am happy, joyous, and in heaven every single day!

Like most driven self-motivated people, I used to find my biggest happiness through my accomplishments. But then, through 60 years of life, I discovered that none of my accomplishments “accomplished” anything that was going to last. In fact, many of the things I did turned into outright failures! Despite success or failure, I learned it was necessary for me as a leader to remain joyful and happy in my own personal life.

As you can see, this causes an internal conundrum. It took a long time to go through this internal learning process. The Holy Spirit (which Jesus says is the great Teacher) was educating me. Now here’s the secret: I needed a new way of rewiring my thinking so I could live and lead correctly. And man, does this bring me joy daily!

What really makes me internally happy, and makes every day like Heaven isn’t my accomplishments. It is learning to obey and  to do exactly what the Holy Spirit says to me each day. Whether I’m simply lingering to smell the lavender growing by the side of the street, or buying a sandwich for a young man sitting by the 7-11 for lunch. Daily obedience  fills my life with treasures of joy, sparkling adventures, and new accomplishments!

The amazing thing is, sometimes these simple obedient actions later turn into major events that actually produce miracles! And that means just maybe my life as a leader will amount to something that will last. Oh the joy of serving God!

On the 4th of July the Lord woke me up before the break of dawn and spoke to me about the lion and the lamb. The things that the Lord revealed to me then I could not quite comprehend until three days later. I was sitting at dinner with Prophet Timothy Snodgrass, and he spoke in prophetic revelation (in response to my word about the lion and the lamb): “It’s about communication.”

Renaissance is when an entire society becomes born again. God was telling me that this kind of dramatic change only happens when someone who’s been fighting like a lion suddenly becomes like a lamb. The Lord showed me that when this happens, we shine the light of love so bright that everyone in America will be able to become like lambs. As things are now, this may appear to be something far off ~ but that’s the reason prophetic words from mighty prophets like Timothy Snodgrass are given in the first place.

When Timothy spoke, my mind went through a litany of incredible parallel revelations that happened throughout history, which were affected by simple changes in communication. The greatest example of this was when Jesus Christ went to the Sea of Galilee and spoke with a group of fisherman and communicated these words: “Follow me.” What a renaissance of revelation! These men switched their entire careers because of just two words. And eventually their actions changed the entire world.

Think about it! It all began with communication. Jesus said his sheep knew his voice, and followed him.  This communication was simple and childlike. Right here, I feel I need to stop and let you know something that I have been privileged to see in my life. God has allowed me to meet people who were on their way to the top, and one expression I would consistently hear them say is, “I have learned to pray, listen, and obey.” In most cases where I have seen those on their way up the ladder of success, listening to God’s voice was critical to their advancement.

How does an intelligent person, with years of experience, suddenly turn into a child that simply believes everything that God tells him or her? How does a lion become a lamb? This is what Jesus wants us to do.

For years I have been trained and taught that we are to be aggressive in our pursuit of changing the world. Now a dramatic transformation is occurring, and it’s happening deep within us. Instead of continuing to be lions, we are becoming lambs. The loud and thundering communication of a lion is designed to intimidate those around him or her. A lamb communicates in a totally passive way, radically different from the aggressiveness of a lion.

A complete explanation of why God wants this is found in the 3rd and 4th chapters of Hebrews. God wants us to rest so He can fight our battles! He lays out everything we need to do His perfect will, including the provision to go with it! You and I are going on a wonderful vacation in paradise, so we need to be ready to grab a cup of tea and rest, rest, rest!

I know what I have said sounds too awesome. You mean we are to go on a vacation, while God does all the work? Yes, that’s what it means. Right now I am with my family and we are praying across America and all over the world, doing no work whatsoever. Right now, we are just praying and resting as His sheep in His pasture.

Here’s the hardest part of understanding this revelation. To most of you who are like me and are active, motivated self-starters, the dynamic of “resting” seems completely opposite of all our internal nature. That is why the prophet of God, Vello Vaim, encouraged us with this verse of Scripture from Hebrews 4:11, “Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest of God.”

The lion must labor to calm down all of the internal emotions that are struggling from within to get out and try to do some action in the flesh. This is the most intense struggle I have ever gone through in my life, because most people neither see nor understand the struggle. Faith tells me the struggle is worth it. Jesus said, “Your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly.”

The more time I spend with the Lord in prayer, my heart is overwhelmed with how kind and gentle He actually is. I used to find myself so busy in my pursuit of success that I was extremely annoyed by any interruption, especially if it was something or someone who seemed unimportant. Thankfully, the closer I get to God, the more these unsavory ways are changing.

Today, when I was waiting for my family to come into the car, a rugged-looking homeless man approached me. From a distance, he gently nodded to get my attention. As gently as I could, I asked him to come closer, so I could hear what he had to say. He told me his need, and I was able to meet his exact request. He rushed off with the biggest smile on his face!

The joy that flooded my heart stayed with me all day long. I realized why God is so gentle, so kind, and so patient. I used to think power, money, and other fleshly things would bring me happiness. It never happened! True joy and happiness comes in fulfilling the needs of others. It is such an upside-down view of everything. Giving is actually receiving the best part of joy in life.

Kindness, gentleness, and patience are the fruit of the Spirit. Using these in our daily interactions with people causes our lives to bloom with Love and Joy-filled light. This light is so bright, it gets the attention of all those around you, which leads to promotion and advancement. Matter-of-fact, nothing can keep you down when this spiritual process begins bringing meaning out of your life.

Each morning I realign myself through worship of Christ and His holy name. As I worship Him early in the morning, I begin thinking of ways to share His love with every person I meet, especially those who appear unimportant. This kindness, this gentleness,  this patience, becomes so infectious that the light it creates dispels any shadow of darkness.

Many of us have prayed that God would change America, Europe, and the entire world with the beaming light of His love. But erroneously, we have thought change would come by pointing out the things that are dark and ugly. This is not His way. God’s way is by His light, a light that is soft, gentle, and bright. When you turn it on, darkness runs away on its own.

This was an amazing phenomenon I saw as a young man during the Hippie movement of San Francisco in 1967. My mother, Marilyn Gazowsky, went with her accordion to Haight and Ashbury and there she saw some of the darkest young people that the world had ever conjured up. But she showed the light of the love of Christ, the gentleness of Jesus, and the simple truth of the gospel.

We had no complicated programs to sign up for. It was just Jesus and His love healing people, miraculously by the Spirit, curing them instantly of drug addiction and all kinds of problems. I saw this with my own eyes! During my mother’s ministry, we had over 16,000 people baptized. That was the kindness and the gentleness of the love of Christ!

The earth is being filled with the New Renaissance in every nation. It is not some mechanical system, and it is not a religious program. It is just God‘s love directed toward each person. I recently held a prophetic meeting with Timothy Snodgrass, Vello  and Ingallil Vaim, Peggy Cole, my wife Sandy, and Misty Dejavu Gazowsky. They prophesied over our country, and I saw a huge blanket the size of America made of light.

The angels of God were covering our country with light. The darkest prison became bright, the prisoners’ eyes were opened, and they were able to clearly see the difference between right and wrong. The darkest drug den was lit with the love of Christ and men and women were freed from their addictions. All of this healing through the power of His light!

If you go to my Periscope page, you can see this prophetic meeting from 11 days ago live. It is titled “Peggy Cole, Timothy Snodgrass, and Vello Vaim giving a word to America”. God is bringing His gentle and kind patience to all of us. He is healing our nation!

I recently read a book about Jane Austen’s good manners. I was amazed at how Jane Austen had collected the good manners of European Christian lives, and had turned this collection into the beloved romance novel, Sense and Sensibility. When you look beneath the prose of the conversations within the story, you actually see a reflection of God’s manners and His love for His children. 

I am really amazed by the ways of God. These have been observed in the transformation of the men of Europe into becoming gentlemen of culture ~ where their mannerisms and cordiality are reflected in every aspect of their communications. And here am I, in the 21st century’s birthing of the next Renaissance, desiring to be just as loving as Jesus. 

Following the simple instructions of Jesus, to love everyone as your own self, is not exactly easy, especially in casual conversation. This is a hurdle I am trying to cross every day, with every greeting. Oh, the rewards of kindness are so great! They become treasures stored forever in your memory and in Heaven’s treasure chest. No wonder all of Europe during the Great Reformation sought to become great ladies and gentlemen.

The Christian European culture allowed the whole world to view the gentleness and kindness of God. Now we are about to experience this on a whole new level of transformation, as God releases fresh Christian love upon American culture. Believe me, this is going to be a wonder that will remain in the earth. Good Christian culture must include gentleness and kindness.

Before my dear mother, Reverend Marilynn Gazowsky, passed away a few years ago, she spoke her last sermon ~ which was again preached at her funeral by her granddaughter, Rocki Starr. My mother handed down this wondrous revelation: “Are you afraid of God’s goodness, and how wonderful it is going to be?“

The closer I get to God and I see how wonderful and kind He is, I am literally holding my breath to see His beauty in such a gentlemanly display!

There are times in my morning meditation that I rehearse words God has given me to strengthen me in moments where satan is trying to shoot arrows of doubt. One of God’s words that has been so strong to me was when the Lord said, “I will never make you ashamed of obeying Me.”

 Listen to what it says in 2nd Timothy 2:15~

“Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple.” This truth has strengthened me because I am finding that God’s ways are always plain and simple. When I wake up in the morning, I set my mind to only think thoughts that are from God ~ and they are plain and simple. When satan brings fiery darts that want to intellectually cause me to question God‘s simple deduction about what is going to occur each day, I ignore the enemy’s thoughts and refuse to accept them as viable enough to even consider. It is this process of aligning and harmonizing my thoughts with God that brings me to intellectual peace, and to receiving God’s daily miracles!

Let me tell you the process that I go through in my mind every morning, for the purpose of preparing you to pray. I cannot get there through just thinking; instead, the words from my mouth declare His praises and His glory. It usually takes over an hour to get that spiritual breakthrough. For that reason, our daily periscope prayer is an hour long. And didn’t Jesus say, “Could not you watch with Me one hour?”

We are in a Renaissance renewal, where God’s blessings are going to be surprising you daily. His treasures are so amazing, and they come from places you never considered. Listen to His word and you will enter into full and bountiful blessings that cannot even be surmised. I love you. And of course, let’s pray together every day!

I am so happy to declare unto you that the best days the earth has ever seen are about to unveil before you now. The best way to receive these wonderful blessings that God is ready to give us is that we must mix every single thought with faith. The only reason Israel did not receive its blessing was because the word given to them was not mixed with faith in those that heard it. You, who are reading this blog, must believe the signs happening in the world around you are truly signs from God. I’m telling you that the plowman is overtaking the reaper. The key for us to receive this great blessing is to rest in God. (Please read Hebrews the third and fourth chapters).

There is no doubt that the earth is in a reaping and sowing time ~ probably the greatest transformation of seasons that has ever happened on this planet ever.

We must believe, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” This is the way we have prayed and this is the way we believe we will see the results of these prayers ~ as His will is done in our country and conforms to His perfect will. It is not through our activism, but through our prayers and trust in heaven’s army, the laborers in the field, who remove the tares among the good wheat. The good wheat will prosper and lead our country into the transformation that heaven has planned for us. Amos prophesied to us exactly what this transformation will look like:

“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for My people Israel:

“They’ll rebuild their ruined cities.

They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine.

They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.

And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land.

They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.”

Believe that prophetic word is the future of California, the future of San Francisco, the future of our church in San Francisco, and the future of your family for the next thousand years. This is the word of God over you ~ believe it! Let the blood of Jesus wash away any negative thought that tries to lodge itself in the crevices of your mind, so you can freely think constantly upon His prophetic word for you and your family. This is our moment in history that all humanity has waited for.

God bless you!

Over the last few years the Lord has continuously given us clear instructions through dreams and visions. Most of the dreams have been very fuzzy in their application. In other words, you need to understand how they apply to the situation you are facing. But also every time we listened to them and obeyed what they were instructing us to do, it turned out to be the most profitable part of our life.

A few days ago my daughter, Rocki Starr, had an epic dream that I want to share with you now.

“I was in a place where there was a large covering overhead. There were waterways constructed with cement. The multiple lanes with running water were rivers that were wide enough for one watercraft. In each lane there was a classic wooden water-sleigh with a motor in front. People vigorously came running towards the motorized water-sleighs that were in the multiple river lanes and jumped on. All of the watercraft were in a race.

“My dad, Misty, and several girls were in our raft ~ like the seven wise virgins. The watercraft were off and going, then the rivers opened up to a large open place with no lanes. I saw a Christian family pull up next to our raft, I waved ‘Hi!’ and a friend called out to ask me how I was doing. Before I could answer her, all of the cemented river-ways reappeared, but they all went in different directions ~ and our water-sleighs were pulled apart as we went down separate paths.

“Our river-way flowed through a large house, and my dad suggested that we all get out to rest and be refreshed. Everyone went into different rooms within the house to rest. Upon looking around the house, I realized that the owner could not be found, which left me with a creepy feeling. I told our group that it was time to leave the house because we were not supposed to be there.

“We found ourselves in a circular room with little windows, and the room swayed back and forth. I looked out of the window and came eye-to-eye with a huge towering mechanical doll which had a black eye. I realized that we were in the brain of another massive doll. We stood at the precipice of a long, slick steep hill. At the bottom of the hill was flat ground. An identical long, slippery steep hill was at the other side of the valley. 

“I could see three other huge mechanical dolls fighting on the other hill and they slid and fell into the valley below. The terrain made it too difficult to climb out of the valley once you fell into it. When I looked out of the little window in the doll’s head, I noticed that the doll with the big black eye didn’t like the way I looked at it. The doll swung at me and our doll fell down the hill a long ways. At this point I was saying to myself, ‘We should’ve stayed in the river. We shouldn’t have stopped in the house. Why didn’t we keep going?’”

Interpretation:

The multiple cemented river-ways were preordained pathways of God’s glory. And we were protected under the Lord’s covering. We could end up in different river pathways if we chose, but the rivers were all cemented, preordained, finished.

Now, sometimes people are bothered with the thought of the river being ‘planned.’ They think that the river will flow just any old way they want it to. So, when they step out of the river they think they are still in it because they think being in a river means ‘options.’ But, this is a deliberate, destined river. This river is headed for a lasting, eternal, and glorious destination ~ even in this life!

The seven wise virgins are the vigilant intercessors on Periscope who are faithful in prayer every day, keeping their lamps filled with oil. The Christian family, who we saw on the open waters, is the Church in San Francisco whom we miss. Calling the seven virgins to leave the house was the call to get back in the river, to stay in the river.

When we found ourselves in the head of the mechanical doll, which was like being in confinement, there was no way out. I was reminded of the Scripture that says, ‘You shall be the head, and not the tail; above only, and not beneath.’ Even though we are called to be the ‘head’ as we will be, we were a head and part of a religious organization that was in a war. I felt like the massive body of the doll was operated by the people of the organization. We were in the wrong place. Once we were a part of the religious war and fell into the valley, it was almost impossible to get out. The organizations were going to fight to the death. I feel like the Lord is giving a clear warning to stay away from the fighting organizations and stay in the river!

A dream that is this heavy you must be careful not to make quick conclusions about. Instead, meditate and pray so that we do His perfect will and stay in the center of the river of provision for our lives. I love you very much!
