The Split

I see a change happening.

I see a splitting off in the spirit.

4  1/2 or 5 years ago, during President Obama's campaign I saw a splitting of the people - a choosing up of sides that had nothing to do with the political arena.  It was a spiritual dividing line that used the campaign as a cover.

Dodge Ball got banned when I was in elementary school, but we used to play in secret - or so we thought.  We would choose up sides, bust each other with the ball and hope we didn't get busted for playing.  It was that clandestine choosing up of sides that I saw in the spirit realm.  And the dividing line was not Christians on the Republican side and everybody else in every other political party.  Each party got their "fair share" of Jews & Gentiles; Saved and Un-Saved.

Then a year or more ago I saw another splitting off - this too was political/spiritual in nature.  I saw the peoples of America lined up behind 3 crowns: who would they serve?  They were filing in by the masses in even lines, equally numbered and marching towards the crown of their choice and these crowns represented their master; their allegiance and their commitment.  Only one crown was for our Lord Jesus Christ.

But today I see a split that is religious/spiritual in nature.  And perhaps that is actually an accurate description of the split itself - between the "religious" and the "spiritual".  The bible says true religion is helping the widows and orphans, but the word "religion" has become a by-word for the bureaucracy, regiment, doctrine, structure and "social climate" of the church today.

And let me tell you in case you didn't already know - the word has much negative connotation and it is mostly justifiable.

I wasn't "raised in the church".  Church bureaucracy and mores bewilder me.  Much of it just does not match up with the word of God written in my bible.  It's a conglomeration of tradition, pomp & circumstance; show-boating and showmanship that is protected, defended and enforced through falsely applied scripture, obedience, guilt and even shame.

And what I see is that God is tired of it. 

God is tired of preachers demanding that their congregation worship Him in Spirit and in Truth - and yet, no one does.  In many churches "Praise and Worship" has become a title that designates a particular time in the service that has little to do with with opening communication with the Holy Ghost and an invoking of the power of God's Glory.

God is splitting off the old religious powers that formulated these structures and traditions with a remnant of Kingdom minded preachers that will let the Holy Ghost have His way as in the early days of the church.

God's people are desperately praying for His intervention; for answers; for miracles; for power and the manifestation of His promises.  But God has been limited in His ability to answer these requests because of the structural limitations placed on His sources for expressing those answers! If you want God to work in your life, then give Him free reign to do so!

And another thing - how can church leaders say, "let all things be done decently and in order" then turn around and say that the Holy Spirit would not act in certain ways that they might deem as disruptive, radical or outrageous?  Hello... 120 people all babbling, wobbling and praising at 9 am in the morning so that everyone who saw them supposed that they were drunk!?  That doesn't sound like the church's definition of decently and in order!

Or what about the Glory of God filling the temple with such a cloud that the priests couldn't even stand or minister?  That doesn't sound like today's definition of "decent and in order" either. 

The Holy Ghost is craning His spiritual neck and chomping and His supernatural bit, just for churches and pastors to let go and let Him in and stop squelching Him just as soon as He shows up when they ask Him to. Right when the Spirit of God falls upon a congregation, that's when they stop service and tell you it's time to take offering or preach a message with no power from the Word.  No, instead that should be the time to stand and bask in the Glory of God and let the Holy Ghost do the work the people were just praying, praising and worshipping Him for!

That's my soap box... it has been so spiritually frustrating for me.

But I see that the Spirit of God is frustrated too.  The time has come when God will make a change in HIS church! True worship... a praise that He can inhabit... miracles, signs and wonders... and the days shall return when congregations will be in one place and in one accord and the Holy Ghost will descend upon ALL in the room like cloven tongues of fire.  The days shall return when souls will be healed, restored and SAVED by the thousands at one time... The days are returning and even now have begun...

And the days of pastors who stick to their structure of praise and worship, announcements, offering, preach the word, give an altar call and the benediction are over for the Holy Ghost.  This not the church that God has called out. He has called out a body of believers.  The is "church as usual" - no matter how much a pastor may say it is not.

It is a new day.  New preachers are being split off from the old. Old things are passed away, behold all is become new. There is a splitting off from "church as usual" to the church of the unusual and peculiar. Where healings are on the regular, demons are cast out daily, lepers are cleansed and the dead are raised - literally, not figuratively.

Isn't that what we, the church, have been called out to do?

Power, love & peace, ya'll -

New Word...

Only a bit ago, the Lord instructed me that He wants me to begin telling of my thoughts for the Nations and His people.  And specifically, to be confident that my "thoughts" are prophetic and not simply my own.

A new season is here - and many have felt it.  We've felt the shift; we've felt the change... and even if we didn't know what the change was specifically, I know many of us have anticipated it for years now.

This season... while truthfully is indeed a season unto itself, it is actually a season of preparation.  It is preparation for a greater, more spectacular season to come.

And in the spirit of "preparation" there is most obviously much training and pruning taking place.  But there is also elevation and placement.  There is also protection and favor.  And, oddly enough, there is also restoration, opportunity and wealth transfer.  Finally, there is growth, revelation and transition into the Supernatural.

These aspects of what I see as "steps of preparation" may seem disjointed in my limited explanation, but I see a picture more clearly now - a picture that once began with the simple word: "infiltration."

So, in the first, I will describe the season to come - the season of which we are being prepared for, and then perhaps the details of our preparation will seem clearer as well.

The Lord our God is truly beginning to pour out His Spirit upon His sons and daughters in a much greater degree than ever before.  Periodic and previous revelations of the church will be revitalized and revisited and there will be so much more.  We are being prepared for a spiritual battle.  We are being prepared for the beginning of the end.

These are the last days of the last of the Last Days.  This is the beginning of the End of Days - the beginning of the latter days.  We are the generations before the last generations that will see the coming of the Christ.   

I believe that if my son, who is 6 as of the date of this writing, were to be blessed to see the fullness of all his days, plus - he will see the coming of the Lord before all 120 years.  I believe these babies are the last of the babies to be born on this earth... but how many babies constitute the last?  Perhaps my son will be the oldest of this generation - this last generation.  This I cannot say for sure, but I say it as an illustration of how close I believe the end of times acturally are.

And satan knows this better than I.

Do not be misled - these earthquakes in diverse places are THE "earthquakes in divers places."  These wars and rumors of wars are THE "wars and rumors of wars."

We have been in the last days - the 7th day - since the disciples first said so.  But sunset is coming soon.  I see the color of the sky changing... and even darkening.

In fact, the powers of darkness are pitching their last ditch efforts as if they do not know the outcome.

And God is preparing us like never before.  We are the generation to train those who are to come and who are to remain when Christ comes again.  The Lord has called us a generation of "Josephs and Esthers"  who are currently in training so that we can train up the "Benjamin Generation" that is here and is to come.  They will truly be a generation that will know the battle is not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities.  The Benjamin Generation will be true Spiritual Warriors greater in battle very nearly than even the angels.

And we, leaders of today who hear with a rhema ear and live in the revelatory word of God, we are their teachers.  And we are being prepared.

Now more than any church movement in history - including the dawn of the early church after Pentecost - now is the time when we will learn to manifest the fullness of God's word in ways we cannot yet fully comprehend.  We will begin to walk in ALL the power, authority, dominion and Spirit of God that the Word seems to only hint about.

But the manifestation of ALL will come with the outpouring of God's Spirit.

  • ALL will be healed who have a need of healing.
  • Multitudes will be saved and delivered like never before
  • Devils will be exposed and cast out
  • Creative, extraordinary miracles will be performed
  • Waters will be walked upon
  • The dead will be resurrected - before the coming of Christ.
  • People will be translated from place to place supernaturally
  • Believers will become supernaturally wealthy
  • Believers will have resources that the world cannot get anywhere else
  • Believers will hold positions of power, leadership and authority in diverse places
  • Soccer Moms will heal broken bones on the field
  • Whole communities and towns will come to salvation
  • "Commoners" will hold positions of respect and reverence amongst great men and women of the world.
  • Regular people will begin to do these and even the "greater than these" things Jesus talked about, and they will teach others how to do them as well.
And because of all of this, Believers will be greatly, greatly persecuted.  Not to worry though... God will still favor us to be the heads and not the tails, the lenders and not the borrowers.  It will infuriate the powers of darkness that rule the world.  But we will maintain, exercise and teach the power we have over the powers of the enemy.

And so we are being prepared in this season.  Our faith is being prepared - the kind of faith that when spoken, manifests that word into the instant and physical representation of that word - just like the God whose image we are created in.

Our belief is being prepared.  A belief that says yes, I can be translated instantly from California to the slave-trade streets in Thailand to save a soul; or to a hospital room across town to heal a child.  It is a belief that knows Christ's death on the cross was also for our prosperity so that the wealth of the world's Billionaires can be supernaturally transferred to us to feed hungry souls that cannot afford it when bread costs a day's wage.

Do you have an ear to hear?

If what I've written seems like utter nonsense and the ramblings of a spiritually delusional and theologically uneducated woman, then you will not be a leader in this generation of preparation.

But if you've felt a pull of understanding and a tug of connection... welcome to the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.  His Kingdom has come.  His will shall be done.  On Earth as it is in Heaven.  And the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony will overcome the world. 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Change to Original

Until now, this blog has lived FOR obscurity and IN obscurity.  My posts have been cloaked in the safety of the unseen.  Concerned enough to say, "What if..." Cautiously written "just in case..."  But this is the season for change.  Not ordinary change, but for changing back to original intentions.

This blog: Destination Reflection; today is changing back to its original intention.

This life: Deidre Kay Campbell-Jones, today, is changing back to her original intention.

We as a people, are changing back to God's original intention.

And from now on, this blog will reflect those changes - whether anyone reads them or not.

Original Blog Intent:  To share the deepest of my thoughts, un-inhibited in spirit, and in truth.  To chronicle the progress of my my life and God's purpose for it.  To share with others in written form that which I have no other opportunity or platform to share through any other medium.

Original Life Intent:  To walk in the fullness of God's power.  To teach, example, preach, write and lead others into the fullness of God's Glory, Power and Grace.  To live and to show others how to live in the manifested realm of God's Word.  To walk in God's promises and to show others how to do the same.  To have a true, manifested, tangible, full and moment-by-moment relationship with God Almighty, through His Son, Jesus and the Holy Ghost.

Which brings me to God's original intent for us as a people:  All of the above.  As well as:

Restoration
Reconciliation
Redemption

These are now words of "Christianise" that have grown to be meaningless.  It must be the work of the devil because these 3 words are truly the most powerful words regarding our standing in life as Believers who have confessed with our mouths that Jesus, the Anointed One is God in the flesh, born of a virgin, died on the cross and resurrected on the third day.

What are we restored back to?
What are we reconciled back to?
What are we redeemed back to?

We are restored back to original dominion... for God.
We are reconciled back to original relationship... with God.
We are redeemed back to original power... in God.

Adam and Eve were created in the image of God and that image was not revoked.  Adam and Eve were given dominion and that dominion was not revoked.  Adam and Eve were given power and that power was not revoked.

Our original image was distorted (not revoked) by the lies of satan.
Our original dominion was given (not revoked) to satan by our own disobedience.
Our original power was diminished (not revoked) by our own lack of knowledge and understanding.

Our created image in God still IS.  We can take back our dominion and we can walk in the fullness of our true power once again.  By God, because of Jesus, through the Holy Ghost. 

God, came to Earth, clothed in flesh as Jesus.  Fully God.  Fully Human. 

How? Because Mary's DNA and God's DNA formed one Man - free from the seed of sin passed through the seed of the male; pure from sin by the seed of the Holy Ghost. 

Why? Because God said, "the life is in the Blood." And only a blood capable of Eternal Life could be the antidote to the sickness of eternal death.  Only God's blood could save us from man's death.  But God is a Spirit.  And so He relinquished the Glory of His Spirit and clothed Himself in the glory of man, so that He would have the only blood pure enough to redeem us back to life.

What!? Because everything Jesus did on Earth He did as MAN, not as GOD.  If He had done it as God he would have called down leagues of 10,000 angels to wipe out the devil himself.  But He didn't in order to show us the power WE have over the devil.  He healed all who had need to show us the power WE have over sickness.  He raised people from the dead to show us the power WE have over death.  He was brought low and made poor to show us the power, dominion and riches WE have as men and women of God.  Jesus walked on water, calmed the storms, fed thousands and turned water to wine so that WE would see what WE are capable of - not so we would know what God was capable of. 

God showed what He was capable of to the Israelites and they didn't listen.

God is showing us what WE are capable of through Jesus Christ.  ARE YOU LISTENING?

PROPHECY FOR AMERICA #2 - 7/16/2010

Part 2 of this prophetic word to the Nation:

This morning as my alarm went off, I hit the button and went back to sleep. And I saw our President, President Obama sitting at his desk - papers, Bills and pressing concerns lay scattered all across the top. As he looked at them, hands placed on top of them, a flood; a deluge of the Holy Spirit fell from the ceiling upon him, drenching him in the Spirit of God. Then the tide flowed from him and out from him as a wave of water rushing over his desk and washing away all that was there.

Some of the items on his desk were drowned and washed away. Others were cleansed and purified.

Then said the voice of God to me, "America is not forsaken. Just as the Nation of Israel will always represent my beloved Israelites no matter where they reside, America will always represent my beloved Gentiles, those who are adopted by faith into the family of God; the wild olive branch grafted into the tree.

America is not forsaken. She is pruned like a tree and plucked like the eagle's wings. I, the Lord your God am tired of my leaders - the ones whom I have anointed and lifted up - using my Name to propagate their own political agendas and views.

They misuse my Word to confirm and justify their lies and they believe they are justified because of their justification in Christ - because of my anointing. But the Spirit is not in those words and they will be separated from their views. As big churches and big leaders fall for their immorality and unrighteousness; for their dogma and 'religiosity', so too will mine anointed be plucked for their political deceit - deceiving my Believers and prophesying falsely by calling it 'teaching' and 'understanding.'

Even mine beloved John Hagee who loves my people of Israel will see his plucking come and he, like others with him - James Robinson, Perry Stone and others(*) will be separated from their words of lies. Even as America and her system of lies must needs be plucked - gay marriage; housing; banking; foreign policy; peace in the East - even as these issues are plucked and exposed, so too are my people, my beloved Gentiles. So that only those who worship in Spirit and in Truth will have the strength to stand and rebuild."

These are the Word of the Lord, as noted by His humble servant on this day,
~Min. Dez

(*) I see the face of another individual whose name I cannot or do not know at this time.

PROPHECY FOR AMERICA #1 - 7/15/2010

After prayer and fasting for three days, I went to sleep on the evening of the 3rd day and I saw in my mind's eye 3 black triangles each triangle in the shape of a crown and I heard the voice of the Lord saying: "3 kings; 3 kings."

Then I saw a line of people marching towards the 3 kings. And a swoosh like a wave came over the people and I heard the rushing of water - a splashing; a deluge of water like a wave over the people.

And the revelation of God came to me saying, "there are 3 kings of this world - the king of death; the king of destruction and the One True King of Life." And the kings looked like 3 points of a crown. And the people were marching towards the king of their choice and they split - some to the left: the king of death. And some to the right: the king of destruction and others marched towards the King of Life in the middle.

And when the wave of water flushed over the people as they marched, God said, "I am pouring out my Spirit upon them all, but only those walking towards life will receive that anointing."

Then God showed me in the vision of my imagination an eagle in its hideaway nest. God reminded me that the national symbol of America is the eagle. And He told me America IS that Eagle. She is not forgotten, forsaken or punished like the Israelites who chose for themselves kings of persecution. No instead, America is like the Eagle who has retreated and is secluded for a time to pluck its wings, sharpen its beak and claws, and renew its strength.

God showed me in great and vivid detail the Eagle painstakingly plucking out its own feathers revealing the pink, scrawny flesh beneath with tiny, frayed, scattered and ragged feathers exposed. And He, God Almighty, spoke to me as the Eagle plucked saying, "Thus sayeth the Lord your God - America is plucking its feathers. This time of great and devastating trial for individuals is a part of that plucking - businesses; the economy; housing; wall street and banking - systems and individuals alike - even Christians in the churches especially are being plucked.

And like the Eagle whose worst is exposed, its jagged ugliness revealed - so is America revealing its ugliness - seeming even to prefer it and glorify its worst by exposing the worst, wearing it on the surface of life and pulling out; pulling down that which ordinarily seems good. The worst is coming to people's lives and their good things; their comfort, security and best is being plucked from them.

And like the Eagle when his feathers are gone - even though he's plucked all the good feathers on purpose, the Eagle is not at its best. The Eagle cannot fly and cannot soar. The Eagle is grounded and weakened. The Eagle is exposed and in danger - vulnerable. And it must retreat to protect itself during this time of plucking and of great vulnerability.

So too will America be. So too will the individual be - exposing their worst as if it is preferred; exposed in their worst as if it is common. And the eagle, like America plucks its own feathers. The eagle, like America and like the individual do this to themselves. There is no one else to blame.

We do this to ourselves through the choices we make and the decisions we make. America and its leaders will begin to make more and more decisions we do not understand. More systems will fall. Churches will fall. Leaders will fall. Individuals - Christians and non-Christians alike will fall - for the wheat and the tares grow up together and God sends rain upon them all."

But God said to me that as the feathers begin to grow, the Eagle may still pluck them out. It is necessary for balance and optimum performance of the new feathers until finally, ultimately the Eagle will allow the feathers to grow. And like America it will grow strong and full of glory. And eventually the beak and claws will be sharp again. And like America we will be sharp and on top again. It is a pruning that is necessary.

And of the leaders, there will be a few which will be allowed to grow first. And of the churches there will be a few which will be allowed to grow first. Even the people represent feathers. And how we will grow back will be through those of us in the church - the Believers that remain faithful, praiseful and true in Christ Jesus. We who withstand these trials and go through them believing in Jesus, never wavering and never falling to sin - we will rebuild. We rebuild ourselves, we rebuild the churches, we rebuild America, we rebuild.

And like the Eagle's feathers there will be a few individuals who will be allowed to grow first. No Eagle's feathers grow all at once and immediately. Invariably there are always a few that emerge first and will be allowed to grow. Watch for the "firsts" in leadership, in the churches and in the people and then will all the systems, the churches, the people and America itself rebuild and be strong - strong enough to soar once again.

The word of prophecy from His humble servant on this day,

Destiny's Journey


Some journeys are well traveled roads. Common, familiar and easy. We cruise along the path oblivious to the process as we habitually turn each corner, climb each hill and break each slope. Only to arrive, blink and wonder how we managed without incident or memory of the trip.

This journey - my journey - is not like that. This journey is one of reluctance, hesitance, unsurity, insecurity and yes, a moderate amount of fear.

As I open the window for you to view my progress, you will undoubtedly come to your own conclusion based upon the progress of your own journey - and your observations will be varied.

Some might say that I am making slow but steady progress toward a clear destination. Others may say that I am floundering and wandering aimlessly down a muddy road with too many directions to choose from.

I say my journey has just begun, although it started more than 10 years ago. I say I still have such a long, long way to go, although I am teetering on the precipice of completion. I say the journey has made me weary, leery and weak, although I trudge on with a strength and endurance that is beyond me. I say the path is muddy, with many obstacles, directions and difficulties still yet to come. However, my destination is clear - crazy, unimaginable, overwhelming and clear.

When this path first appeared it was like a hazy, dirt road on a foggy day. I peered at it without knowing what it was or where it was going - then tried to ignore it as inconsequential. When the path persisted I joked as to where it might lead, then still tried to dismiss it as a path not meant for me.

It was years before the view of the path cleared and I was able to see the destination more clearly. It was absurd to think that the reality of where this path could end up would be in a place far more outlandish than even my most absurd imaginings! OK, maybe - just maybe this path ended up in a very good place - but a place still not meant for me. Definitely not me.

Why not me? Who else but me, since I was the only one to see? Please, Dear God, not me! Yes, me. This path was meant for me.

And so I watched it, argued with it, denied it and tried to imagine a life without pursuing it.

Four - no five, has it already been five? Five years ago I accepted it. I stuck out a big toe like testing the cold water of a pool - then yanked my foot back like I so often would. I wrote about it, dreamed about it, and tried it on for size in the privacy of my dressing room of life. And by the way, I still watched it, argued with it, denied it and tried to imagine a life without pursuing it.

Three - sorry, I forgot - Four years ago I made up my mind. I packed my bags, said good bye to the sanity and sanctuary of friends and family who always had thought they understood me, and I took my first hesitant and frightened step.

In these last four years I have walked, sometimes trotted, but never quite run toward a goal I think is crazy. I have stopped, I have even sat down and I have wistfully looked back to a time when I did not know and could not see what was meant for me.

But I will not stop. I packed my bags (all my baggage), and made up my mind. Armed with nothing but 2 scriptures and a great deal of hope, I continue to trudge on driven by the surity that if - just if - I happen to arrive at this awesome, fearsome destination, it will be extraordinary, phenomenal and inconceivably wonderful. This destination...

A destination, a journey to a place that is called destiny. My destiny. Destiny's purpose in life. My God given purpose.

Sometimes while we travel, we see another driver, glance in that direction and never take note or give them another thought. Perhaps that is how you will see me.

Sometimes we see another traveler and something catches our eye. We may watch a moment, muse a moment or even briefly wonder... Then they continue on their own separate way and thoughts of them fade as quickly as they do. Perhaps that will be how you see me.

Other times we get caught in traffic, bunched up with drivers because of fate. And whether we cruise along peacefully or struggle with road rage, we share a community of progress, each with our own destination. Perhaps that will be how you experience me.

And on rare occasion on our own individual roads of life, we travel a path where we encounter another driver - seemingly traveling to the same basic place. At times they follow us and then we follow them. We may take note of who they are and what they drive - possibly even read a licence plate. We'll share a moment or even a long while - silently and separately together, with maybe a glance, a smile or a brief a wave of acknowledgement. Perhaps that will be how you experience me.

I cannot say how long this path will be for me, so whether you glance and move on - never to take notice; or whether you wonder a moment at who I am and where I'm going; or whether you follow a while, smile and wave or better yet, if you decide to stay for the journey, I invite you to come along for the ride.
