Two nights ago the Lord sent me a dream. In the first scene of this dream, which I remember only vaguely, I was attending a meeting with other Christians. Prophet Chuck Pierce was there, exhorting us to declare that the territory God had given each of us to watch over now open up for God’s promised power, glory, and miracles. In the second scene I was in a car with my husband, Mark, who was driving. We stopped by the side of the road. I leaned out of the car window with a long rod, like a walking stick, in my hand. I forcefully thrust the tip of the stick into the ground numerous times, declaring God’s promises for the land to now come forth. As soon as I finished, the ground under the stick began to move back and forth in a sloshing-type motion–symbolizing God’s power released. End of dream.

Often in my dreams from the Lord, a vehicle has represented a ministry. In this dream, I remained in the car with Mark while I performed this prophetic act. I believe this symbolized our continued joint ministry to our city and surrounding region–to which God clearly called us. Earlier this year the Lord instructed us to drive a stake into the ground on our property as an act of proclaiming this territory for the Lord. In the past few years the Lord has told me repeatedly that this city is destined to be a City of Light–a region heavy with His glory and power. (As I understand it, God has chosen other places in the USA to also serve as Cities of Light.) Now, as I prayed through this dream, the Lord impressed upon me that I was to perform this prophetic act with the walking stick over our city, with Mark present.

I understand this assignment from the Lord to be a follow-up to His recent “74 Days until Glory” proclamation. On September 29, 2025, God proclaimed to His people, “74 days until glory!” (See post here.) I admit I was reticent to post that word. God so rarely gives actual dates, and I didn’t want to assume anything about His timing. I asked Him–when does this countdown begin? He replied that His word was the marker. And He told me to trust His word and proclaim it. So I posted the word and began the countdown, not knowing what to expect. On December 11, day 74, came the amazing word through Canadian prophet Barry Wunsch about his vision of God’s lightning of glory striking this city with immense power that will spread from here throughout the nation and world. (See post on December 13, 2025.)

God is so wondrous. He amazes and enthralls me every day. I can do nothing without Him. I just do my best to keep up with Him each day and record what He says–whether I understand it all or not. Romans 12:6 says we prophesy by faith. This surely is a walk by faith. Thank You, Lord.

So…back to the dream, which the Lord sent 15 days after His prophesied Day 74. Through the dream, He was calling me and Mark to pierce the ground and call these promises of His glory to now come forth. I surely wanted to do this weighty task right. I asked the Lord about the walking stick, since I don’t have one. What did He want me to use? Then He reminded me–Mark has a walking stick, a special one. Thirteen or so years ago when I was visiting my mom, she told me she wanted to give Mark a beautifully carved walking stick she had bought in New Guinea some 40+ years earlier. She was very firm and insistent about this. No one else was to have it. At the time I thought this so odd. What would Mark do with it? He didn’t need a walking stick, and it was too short for him anyway. But I wasn’t going to speak against my mom’s gift. So I brought home the walking stick. Ever since then it has been leaning against a corner in our great room. Surely, God placed that idea in my mother’s head all those years ago.

Yesterday, Mark and I walked out to our backyard overlooking the city. I pierced the ground with the end of the walking stick–around 10-12 times. (I didn’t want to do too few, remembering the story in II Kings 13:18-19!) As I struck, I called out to the Lord to now release His promises of glory and power to this area–which will in turn spread across the globe. When I finished–no moving, sloshing ground. Not that I expected it. Again, we take these things by faith. His word stands true.

I don’t know God’s timing. I don’t know what this will look like as it unfolds. I do know God’s power and glory is going to fill the United States of America–His nation under God. In the summer of 2022, I was in our kitchen when God told me to go into the backyard. When I did I saw the city bathed in a golden glow from a stunning sunset. And the hills to the west looked like they were on fire. (Below is a picture of the hills–undoctored.) This was God’s gift to me–a prophetic scene symbolizing His coming glory to this area–and the nation and world. I stand on His promise–and proclaim it. I invite you to proclaim it with me. May Your Spirit and glory fall upon us, King Jesus!
