1.1 Shepherd’s Rods
Near the end of the year in 2006, God spoke to me & said that if I would come aside with him between Christmas & New years that he would show me what was going to happen the next year. I obeyed Him & he has continued to give me what I now understand to be a Prophetic Shepherds Rod. *This is not something that I prophecy! I write down what I see & what I hear & then do my best to Post it exactly as I got it.
Shepherd’s Rod 2010
This is a list of the things that I saw going into 2010
I received this years shepherds Rod on Thursday December, 31, 2009, the last day of the year at noon. This yrs Shepherds Rod was numerically the most information that I have ever received & it had a lot of references to Alabama in it. There were also a number of references to trains, connecting & connections etc. (Powerful Moves of God).
I got this early on December 09 & felt that it was part of this yrs Shepherds Rod…
There is a Huge Battle raging for The Soul’s of America! We as U.S. Christians have been called to win it!! The problem is that we continue to look like, act like, think like, be like & spend our money just like the World. No-one can tell us apart! We value Stuff, Comfort & Security more than the Command to go after Souls, to make disciples & to establish Gods kingdom in the Earth… We have a serious conflict of interest… we have made gods (Things that are revered & Worshiped) out of stuff that we have lusted for & we have stored up Treasures on Earth. America itself is currently in very bad need of selfless sold out Missionaries!! We are so intense about the stuff that we have, that we are trying to hold onto & that we are still trying to obtain that we can’t do the one & only Job that we are called to do!! We look nothing like the Disciples or even the first century Church. They left everything to follow Jesus… Everything…. They were crucified & Tortured for taking a stand. We are freaking out just because things have gotten a little uncomfortable for us!! To get a proper perspective of The Christianity in the Bible: They gave their all for the Cause of Christ, Their Dreams, Hopes, Careers, Future Plans, Time, Resources, Finances, Property etc. The Christianity in The Bible (not America) gives us a picture of role Models that Considered: nothing as their own, brought what they had, gave it to any who were in need & had all things in common with ea other… Jesus said: Where your Treasure is their will your Heart be also… We have a Heart problem in America that specifically deals with where our treasures are! Our treasures & pleasures are in the same place as those around us! We are no different, no distinguishing Characteristics in us from the World around us… We need a Heart Change & fast!!! We need to have our focus on things above & not on things below. There does not seem to be many leaders for the young people to follow. Too many have gone out after stuff & have not gone out after God… Where is the call to death to the flesh?? To live the life set apart, to be sold out for the cause of Christ & not our own causes! Where are the True Disciples…
Where are they (The Disciples) & There is a conflict of interest, seems to be coming to the forefront…
(1) (*I do not watch Football & have never been an Alabama Football Fan). I saw that The Alabama Football team would end up as #1 in the Nation & that this would be a Spiritual sign that has to do with Alabama being a First Fruits State as related to Israel. I saw a large Power Switch being pulled down that connected the Power to the lines. I thought of different phases of power – levels.
(2) I saw President Obama about 1/2 way through the yr with an unusual look on his face. There were almost underlying tears. He seemed Concerned, Shaken…
(3) I saw three Trains (Power-Moves of God) aware of ea other… all pulling & going somewhere. They were all connected together, not physically but through Spiritual connections. They were inside a Spiritual Triangle of sorts. Three different moves…
(4) I saw Cars on the Interstate in Alabama. Their tires were getting bigger. One was a V.W. – The automotive industry is going to become more prominent in Alabama – Economics, $ getting better.
(5) I saw the name Advance Auto Parts & know God is saying the Auto is advancing in Alabama. Economies are shifting in America – I saw this twice.
(6) I saw Trains (Power-Moves of God) coming to Alabama delivering people.
(7) Communication is on the rise in Alabama – lots of chatter going on.
(8) I saw the Alabama Football Symbol (A) on the front of a Train as a button that could be pushed. (Alabama) Its going to light up.
(9) Saving money is going to become popular again. I saw kids, young kids putting small treasure chest in the ground & looking for good places to hide them – Stocks, Bonds & Investments. There is a future for the very young… It will be there. God has not forgotten them, like the great depression… lessons learned – Saving up for a rainy day. Saw smiles on young couples faces that learned the lesson – We are making life to complicated because of our desires – not our needs.
(10) I saw someone running & winning the Gold Medal & another finishing a Marathon. Personal achievement will be rewarded in the future & not so much Financial achievement. Achievement – Keeping up with the Jones’s will be looked down upon. There is a shift towards being happy, serving others & finding what you excel in & not just pleasing others by fitting into a financially & socially required mold or rut.
(11) The word Bama meaning Red-Neck, backwards etc. won’t be thought of the same. It will be a go to State & a state of mind – Smiles etc. Feels like the Beach & Florida – an open place with the Sun shining.
(12) I saw ships (Leaderships) trying to unload in the center of Alabama; literally, with full cargoes, excited like a new Port of call – a bustling new gateway of Business etc. – feels like a new Atlanta or Bigger.
(13) 2010 represents a shift in Government. Big things happening in the Governmental realms – Daniel, Joseph, Missionaries, World leaders etc. I Saw Heidi Baker smiling & sensed her having full supplies.
(14) I saw Clubs & Beer Joints as places where young couples were listening to their peers publicly speaking & they were all smiling & figuring out how to Save & Invest their money for their Future – going to be a very different & much more responsible younger generation coming up – very practical.
(15) I saw Trucks & Truck Drivers traveling & going places in the future arriving smiling & not stressed out (this last season has been some kind of Major Financial Correction) I saw Personal debt loads leaving, more simple lifestyles, blood pressure levels coming down – God want’s people to be less stressed & live better longer lives.
(16) I saw Cleaner Water & a brighter future coming up from behind in this next generation. A taking back of what’s important – Stewards are coming forward – some will think this is a disaster.
(17) I saw political Structures coming & others changing. The environmentalist will team with what I would call the Moralists to get what they want in the future, big business will have to make a choice or go it alone. I saw dark Corridors & Pollution remaining & polluting the airwaves in America (Still strongholds) Hollywood etc. especially polluting Worldwide Seems like a lot of good coming but still some old bad roots remaining – filth etc.
(18) I saw that political moves will shift in some positive ways in the future as a result of the young people pushing over old bad ways. There will be a push in the manufacturing arena to create new & lasting jobs as a result of what has been learned in this present shift & financial shaking.
(19) I saw Blue Collars moving across America, A lot has been learned – the way we have been doing it will not work or last. Some things like Technology & Software etc. will stay the same but things will shift towards manufacturing again – top notch stuff.
(20) There is a blessing or anointing that has not been noticed very much… its the Reagan Revolution & it has God’s favor upon it. It, for what I will call it, it will protect & defend throughout this era. God’s hand & favor is upon a generation. There truly is a city that’s set on a hill. Can you see it? God can! I so seriously see & feel that the rewards of labor are coming!
(21)I saw that there is going to be a return to the ABC’s in Schools – Reading, writing & Arithmetic – Weird, Strange or unusual Ideas are not going to be exalted or pushed in the mainstream future. There is going to be a return to discipline & the rule of law. I saw an old Ruler in a Principles hand – Rule, Law & discipline – grades will increase & kids will be happier – Structured thinking etc.
(22) Everything in me has known for some time that we were coming out of a very serious Spiritual & Physical bad decade of War time! I had an experience while in this Park where I was crossing over some Water & felt something significant being said to me as I crossed over it (like a very note worthy moment in time). I am now recognizing that there is a bright new Powerful openness in the atmosphere around us & much less Spiritual struggle. People will begin to recognize this in the Natural realm. Something is very different as we go into this new decade – Something changed…

Shepherd’s Rod 2009
This is a list of the things that I saw going into 2009 - December 28, 2009
(1) I saw people coming to wash their hands in water (they were washing with Ivory Soap). People will come clean about their lives. Truth will be at the forefront!
(2) I saw things that were dead and buried coming to the surface. God is going to revisit things that were covered over and covered up! God will deal with them once and for all to cleanse people.
(3) In another picture I saw people being thoroughly cleansed and being made clean. I saw people drying with brand new fresh towels. Old things passed away, all things made new!
(4) I saw a large child pulling his Hot Wheels off the Track so that the other kids could not play. God is going to deal with jealousy issues! If you can’t play with the other Kids (Churches) you can’t play at all (Your Church will disintegrate if you can’t cooperate with other Churches).
(5) I saw a great humbling coming! Many pastors holding hands with one another and one another’s congregation’s. It is one body, one people - no one more noteworthy than another.
(6) I saw a Pastor with Innocent Child like faith. Child like faith will rise to the surface. Programs will not work in this environment – only believe!
(7) I saw a Pastor leaning down and turning his Ears to the Train Tracks. He was carefully listening to the Noises & Sounds to see what is coming. I sensed that he (Pastors) would be able to distinguish between the different Sounds (Ability to hear from God, Direction).
(8 I saw that provisions will come from unlikely sources, almost like a wink from above.
(9) I saw a mans eyes bulging out! I saw a second time another set of eyes being stretched wide open. This is going to be a time in which we see a lot. Sight is being given. Eyes to see and Ears to hear! Signs and Wonders.
(10) I saw a small but very powerful Tug Boat with a smile on its face (almost like the little Choo Choo that could) riding very large waves going up and down until it got where it was going. It connected to and began tugging on entire continents to move them out of the place that they had been.
(11) I saw the General Motors logo and then saw a Machine press that makes parts. It had a mans hand coming down as the final contact that finished making the actual parts. I don’t think there is going to be enough even if you make them yourself. I thought of finances – not enough.
(12) I saw a nice Ski Boat with people in it moving across the water. It ran out of water in the lake and ran aground. In a second picture I saw all the people get out of it and walk to shore. They climbed a re-vine and the driver looked back at it. He was not happy about leaving it. They had to walk down the Interstate and go home. A lot of the peripheral stuff is going to be lost! *It is back to the basics: walking home, going home. A much more simple way of life is coming – much more basic for a lot of people!
(13) I saw a Pastor banging on Indian Drums! He was seeing how they worked and was getting used to them. I saw people coming into camp to get help. There is going to be A Pow Wow taking place! You are going to have to depend on God in this next Season much like the Pilgrims had to depend on the Indians when they first began in America. It is a time of much trouble – you will not make it on your own!
(14) I asked God 3 times if I was seeing right on this next one. I got a fourth confirmation that I was. I saw a Japanese Aircraft Carrier in World War II with Japanese soldiers waving flags on the front of it to help Aircraft take off for a surprise attack. In this same Image there were Russian soldiers in the forefront overshadowing them. There is a surprise attack coming somewhere involving Russia. I don’t know where but somewhere! I specifically heard God say that it would be thwarted!
(15) I saw Queen Elizabeth crowning Jesus. She thought that she is supposed to because it is the right thing to do. Jesus head was down because He knew that it was only religion. He wants a relationship *only a relationship will do! He loves the British people. Come out from among them I heard him saying – come out!
(16) God is beginning to dispossess Nations. It is a time for Nations to take him very seriously! This is a beginning of separating two – for or against God and His Christ.
(17) Alaska is budding! She will blossom and bring forth her beauty! She will produce great wealth and will be a resource to all of America. She will give baby bottles, blankets and Train loads of provisions to her own. She will take the Sickle out of the hand of the foreigner – you will not reap where you have not sown! Strength is there. I saw that the people of Alaska could help America during this time just by America watching their strength and endurance. There is much strength there!
*This is a word that I received the day before God gave me this years Shepherds Rod. I feel that it is connected to the Shepherds Rod for 2009. I felt that I was to include it here.
(18 As I woke up I saw The band AC/DC on a stage and then I saw the Insignia for the Group Van Halen. God showed me that Satan is attempting to re-use these groups music from the 70′s to desensitize young people to the realities of Hell! There is an attempt to try and persuade them that Hell is not so bad and that there are actually going to be parties there etc. This is very displeasing to God and He is going to deal with this!

Shepherd’s Rod 2008
This is a list of the things that I saw going into 2008
December 30, 2007
(1) I Saw Hilliary Clinton standing at a podium with disappointment on her face looking down. Is self appointed and not God appointed. I Saw many Ice castles (Bldgs. in N.Y.) crashing to the ground and falling over – things are going to crumble – this is not God’s Building (Structure). I Saw Hilliary wearing black, Something died (possibly Desires).
(2) I saw (Black & White) Cows (chickens) coming home to roost. I saw Cows taking the microphone and saying things politically that were going to disturb peoples political goals. There are things coming home to roost, there are upsets in the air. Durability is a word that I hear. Can they endure? I Saw a man who was a politician coming to the podium smiling with surprise on his face that he had won, happy, grateful, humble, he will do the job. Change is coming; he was rolling up his sleeves and getting to work. (I thought of healthcare Etc).
(3) I Saw political upheaval in Central and South American Countries. Politically, there was much pushing and shoving going on. Saw longstanding Governments pushing back and taking a strong stand. Saw a man (the people) standing in the street taking up for established Governments and fighting back. They will not be overthrown or moved by enemies.
(4) Canada is going to take the high road on a number of matters and leave the stench behind. I took this to be good morally based decisions on their Governments part. I also saw someone singing “Oh Canada” to the tune of “Oh Tannenbaum” with their hand over their heart. There is still a strong belief system in Canada and strong Moral leaders. God sees it and is going to bless them.
(5) There is going to be social unrest where people’s political futures are uncertain. People are going to take things into their own hands and put Governments that they can trust either in or back in power. This is very important, it is certain. I saw this twice.
(6) Earlier this year I was talking on the phone to a musician friend of mine when God gave me a prophetic word about secret codes and secret keys that God was hiding in music. We were both shocked to see the exact same words printed on the front page of “The Birmingham News”the very next morning (see Divinci article on music). God has shown me this same thing is going to continue to happen in 2008. I saw myself with my ear to the train track listening intently. New keys and new codes (revelation) are coming through certain types of music streams and or musicians that are listening to Gods heartbeat (soaking). There will be Special times and opportunities for those with their ears open and tuned to the sounds from heaven. Revelation will come in through an open window that you did not see. Many will miss this and think it foolish because of the business of life.
(7) I Saw Jesus contrasted together as a type of Barry Manilow (I write the Songs) and Dino. He had music in his hand & was giving it to orchestra (type) musicians. Music is being formed, tweaked and adjusted. I saw an angel playing drums and then getting down and looking under them, he began tightening and adjusting them. Specific sounds, vibrations etc. are coming, Words being given and written quickly Akeana style.
(8) Dreams, Idea’s and opportunities will literally appear over people’s heads this year almost like invisible balloons floating overhead. Those who quickly write them out in detail will be able to pray over them and see the real come to pass. The ones that are not quickly written down and eventually acted upon will be lost.
(9) There is a new open place between heaven and earth that is easily entered and you are welcome there. It is not imaginary. You can touch, taste, see and smell it. It is heaven on earth and it is now. The now time is here. Taste (touch) and see that The Lord is good.
(10) There is a defining moment that is coming to all those that have been tested and tried. I saw a (wide gate) huge wall on a old world arena (Rome – Gladiator, lions etc.) be opened by a very large smiling heavenly someone. All the people who had been preparing, warring and occupying the arena (until he comes) saw it open. Everyone in this arena realized something was different. There is a huge opening to go through and an elevator on the other side. Many will be surprised to see what God has prepared. Dreams, Visions and Futures will be found by all that step through. It is a new day and a new way. It is open, Step through, reach up and hold on to heavens hands (I saw a lot of smiles and activity on the other side.
(11) People that are holding tightly to the Kingdom of heaven will become less and less concerned with the worlds darkness and will become more and more Joyous over heavens reality operating in their lives in the here and now. Opportunities abound for the faithful and trusting heart – only believe. Contrast of light & darkness will continue. Those focused on the Kingdom at hand will begin to hardly even notice. Be busy about The Fathers work and him who sent you.
(12) I saw a huge wave of God Capable of covering New York’s tallest Sky Scrapers coming and Joni Ames (A type Prophet and Teacher) standing at the base smiling and teaching a classroom with a writing easel nearby. Many are just now being prepared for what God is doing and he will not leave any behind. There is going to be an amazing race to the finish and many people’s destinies and futures are going to begin to move at warp speed to get them into position for the big one. Those who have faithfully trudged through the mud will stand with tears in their eyes and hug one another as they see it all unfold. I heard the words Tsunami, Tsunami and saw people running to their doors smiling and laughing overcome with Joy.
(13) It is going to be very important to be a giver and a lifeline to the poor and underprivileged in this next season. I saw a man standing on a makeshift raft in about 2″ of water staying afloat and on top of the water by his giving. The impression is that being high and dry in this next season could be very devastating (To whom much is given much is required). I feel that this is a very serious warning.
(14) This is and will be a year of new beginnings; it is unlike any year in the past!
(15) I saw a wooden stick that had cut places on it where someone had been marking dates in time. The marks kept being erased and when someone would try & put them back God would erase them by giving the stick brand new bark.

Shepherd’s Rod 2007
This is a list of the things that I saw going into 2007
December 26, 2006
General:
(1) I see a contrasting of Egypt (all hell breaking loose) & the land of Goshen (peaceful & quiet).
God has shown me several times now a significant contrast of 2 different people reacting to the same tragic events. One is a man starring upward & is clearly stunned with a very terrified look of fear on his face. Standing on the right, behind the man is a woman looking downward, not sad, but totally aware of what has just happened. She is not happy about it, but has not been caught off guard because she somehow expected it. You can easily see she is a Christian because she is very calm & peaceful & not afraid of the future. God is providing for her. (She is the Church)
(2) I saw a man on a dark & stormy night, standing directly under a street lamp that’s light was somehow protecting him from a wind blown, driving rain. Mathew 5: 14 & 15. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill can not be hidden & Nor do they light a Lamp & put it under a basket, but on a Lamp stand, & it gives light to all who are in the house (world).
National:
(1) (In 3 pictures) I Saw a rocket going into space. I Saw another smaller rocket under it, cross its path. I Saw debris falling. I felt impressed this was a missile defense system capable of working in space.
(2) I Saw ladies working & wearing pink in a medical environment. I took this to be a breakthrough in medical research helping couples to have children – (Pink being pregnant).
(3) I saw a Submarine top out & then begin to submerge. I felt this was economic & may have related to the Stock Market. If this is correct there would be a clear trend by the 3rd month (Not sure of long term).
(4) I Feel strongly that there will be some kind of a challenge about six months out & that it will be very important as to how we respond as a nation – our destiny as a nation will depend on our response.
(5) I saw a row of Battleships (Ministries) that had been moving away from the enemies fire begin to make a right turn (back towards the shoreline). I Saw the turrets on the Battleships turning & firing on the shoreline. New ground will be taken – Forces are coming to confront the enemy.
(6) I Saw sharp forked like objects right under the really pretty water. I saw small rubber rafts swiftly moving towards the shoreline with people getting ready to land & go ashore. I saw the sharp objects (Peoples Togues) in the water withdraw into the sand beneath the water. There will be an easy landing, not like Normandy. Not a military Invasion, but a spiritual Invasion. I saw many women & children going ashore, smiling & stretching comfortably, laying down pic-nick blankets (Provisions, Resources).
The Church (U.S.):
The harvest is ready. I saw a very kind hearted motherly type sitting with a child at a table giving him (The Church) good nourishing food to strengthen him & he (The Church) was pushing it away mad, pouting, wanting more & not wanting to leave the table. This motherly type (I believe The Holy Spirit) smiled at him & was patiently waiting until he quit pouting so he would go outside & work. I then saw this same child (The Church) as a young man & this motherly type (The Holy Spirit) as that of a doting, caring wife waiting on him hand & foot hoping & expecting that he would go outside & take care of things but quietly wondering if he was going to support her or leave her without support. She was depending on him!
I saw a wooden door latch (from a time where bringing in the harvest was common) permanently open, but we have to push the door open to see what is outside. God has provided everything we need; now it is time to go to work! Spiritually it is Beautiful & Spring with Flowers outside, but getting cold inside.
America will not see True Revival until we leave our comfortable Churches & go to the Streets.
I am hearing this Scripture reference: Preach, saying the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand…
The biggest overall statement I hear is Go!
