A Word from Bill and Judy on the Virus 2020

Blessings to all. In this season I wanted to reach out to those of you who have allowed me to touch your lives in some way through prophetic ministry. I want to share my perspective, my observations, prophetic experiences that direct my intercession and focus upon the Lord in this season.

My purpose for writing is to be a voice of Hope in this season. During Rosh Hashanah of last year Judy woke to see an elderly man standing over her just watching. This encounter lasted a few minutes. It wasn’t a vision it was someone in the natural standing over her. Judy spends her days working at a hospital, part of a team to give health care to the community. We now realize in the midst of the virus threat God has sent His angels to watch over all of us in this season.

Judy and I experience encounters in our lives that become the prophetic word for the church in that season. In that sense we all become living intercession through our daily lives. I would like to share a series of “words” and experiences that I believe together paint a picture for this season.

Since 2018 the Lord has been prompting me to begin teaching people about the prophetic in context of Isaiah 60. Arise shine for your light has come. Then press on, deep darkness covers the earth. Jesus is called the word of God in the flesh for several reasons. One is He gave language and expression to the redemptive purposes that have dwelt in Fathers heart since the beginning of time. The church should reflect the ministry of Jesus by giving language and expression to the light that shines in the darkness knowing the darkness will not overcome His light that He has placed within us.

John 1:5. The prophetic is just a grace to see light when everyone sees and feels the heaviness of the deep darkness surrounding their circumstance. Many times when ministering I will see the circumstance a person is in as a dark room. Across the room I see a small dot of light. As I watch that and step toward that I realize it is a keyhole in a door. A door to a new season for them and a manifestation of Gods promise in their life. I have been working on a website which I had planned to release this letter through, but I heard “now” the baby is being born.

As I write this now the Lord is telling me this is not a season of darkness this is a season of birthing for many individuals and the church. Recently the Lord spoke to me, “ I prepare a table before you in the PRESENCE of your enemies NOT in the absence of your enemies. He said don’t look down at earthly circumstances, look up into heavenly places where you are seated with Christ Jesus.

The answers are not found on earth but in Christ at the communion table. He spoke to me at the table and said, “look into my eyes where Hope dwells. To see through His eyes, His perspective and not see darkness but the Hope that is right around a corner which we don’t know yet. If we could could figure out our circumstance on our own God would not speak of something unknown that is about to become a part of the equation that will shift our perspective and reveal the answer that was there all along but hidden in the natural realm. Look in to His eyes where Hope dwells, at the communion table and feed upon the Bread of Life.

March 19th in my early morning quiet time I asked the Lord what will be the outcome. In a vision I saw the Lord breathe on the earth, I saw the winter turn to spring and flowers spring up. I remembered a time when the Lord spoke to me, “I breathe for you when you don’t have the hope to breath for yourself. I don’t have to breathe but I breathe for you." I heard” if you can break my covenant with the night and my covenant with the day so can you break my covenant with my servant David. As I searched this out I came to Jeremiah 33, which speaks of the healing of the desolate cities. The sound of bride and bridegroom being heard again. The sound of celebration being heard again. Life continuing into the next generation. Joy being heard in the city again.

I believe Jeremiah 33 is a promise for us in this season. The Lord told me in the midst of the dread of the plagues upon Egypt the Father had a plan and He called it His passover Lamb. I believe there is a timing clue in that word. Later in the day on the 19th I realized it was the first day of spring. The Lord led me on a fast recently. As I have gotten older fasting has become more difficult but when necessary an angel will come and place his hand on me to sustain me in that time. I felt the hand upon me suddenly and knew I was entering a fast. I had no idea about the purpose or the length of the fast in the beginning.

After two weeks I assumed it was a 21 day fast, but on day 21 the Lord began to speak to me of the 24 elders that cast their crowns before the Lamb. It was about the mindset, perspective, even how God had moved in the past. Who will rule over our minds, fear or faith.

Interesting that this virus is called the coronavirus, another name for crown. I watch very little news but spend hours in the word. In my quiet time I was aware of the shifting narrative by the news media trying to shape our world, and I heard, “ I am a sure foundation for your times.” Isaiah 33, He will be a rich storehouse of wisdom and salvation and a sure foundation for your times.

The news narrative shifts and changes trying to turn our focus but the word of God is unchanging stable, able to feed us, sustain us, able to hold us up. Heaven and earth will pass away but MY words shall never pass away. Matthew 24:35 Turn your focus on that which is eternal and a sure foundation. Invest your life in that which is eternal.

In the beginning of the virus I asked the Lord what is this. I heard, “an inoculation against fear”. Sometimes God walks with us through what we fear, and we realize He is bigger than the giants in our life and He reveals the overcomer in us that was there the whole time. We realize He CAN sustain us upon the battle field when we face our giants. This corona virus “crown” wants fear to rule over our thoughts. It’s the fear of the unknown more than the virus itself.

The battle in the garden was “Did God REALLY say?” That is the same battle today. Did he really say He will watch over us and be a Shepard over us. Hebrews 13:5, John 14:18, I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will not leave you as orphans. To trust the unseen to be a shelter over us in the midst of circumstances causes us to give up control and walk by faith not by sight.

God knows our human wisdom and what we can control is a security that we hang on to that keeps us from entering into a realm where miracles dwell. We have tried to reach the world through our programs and presentations. But the tree of knowledge creates a ceiling and has limitations and God is inviting the church to feed from the tree of Life that will not only sustain us in this time but feed many.

The miracles of the fishes and loaves occurred because of a need, not for entertainment. That door is opening again if we look away from the darkness and look for His redemptive purposes and give language and expression to that.

Jesus is called the word of God in the flesh for several reasons. One is He gave language and expression to the redemptive purposes that have dwelt in the Fathers heart since the beginning of time. In this season let us look for His redemptive purposes and give language to that.

I have done prophetic nurture groups for over 20 years. I also worked as a bricklayer during those 20 years. One night exhausted, not sure I had a meeting left in me, I uttered “Lord what is your agenda for tonight”. I heard, “I don’t have agendas, I have expressions of my Love.” Let us be an expression of His love to those around us in this season.

The fields are ripe for harvest! Don’t look at the virus, look at the harvest and He will send His angel to watch over us. To all of us, I feel I am to speak to the God dream inside all of you and say, “You will live and NOT die! I break the fear of death. I pour the horn of oil on you to speak affirmation of the God dream within you to manifest.”

During prophetic ministry for people I will ask the Lord, “ what do they dream about?”One day I heard, “ask Me MY dream for them.” He continued, “ I knew them before I formed them because before I formed them I dreamed of them, as I dreamed of them I interceded for fruitfulness to manifest in their lives. When they came forth they became my dream come true. When they began to manifest fruitfulness, they became the answer to my prayers.”

After that I would see the God dream in each one as an actual embryo, I would see a generational timeline. I would see warfare. I would see many things but God gave me instructions to speak life to the God dream in each one to live and not die. To proclaim LIFE over the God dream which is the fullness of identity, who we really are in Him.

Recently the Lord showed me a vision of a painting that was in a corner of of garage and was being sold at a garage sale. I saw a five dollar bill exchange hands (purchased with grace), the new owner took the painting home. But instead of hanging it up He took a sponge and began to clean it. As He cleaned it a new painting appeared underneath. It was a priceless Rembrandt painted by the hand of the master when He shaped us in our mothers womb. Our own expectations and others manipulation had painted a different portrait, but He was restoring His original masterpiece in each one of us. His purpose, in the season of uncertainty, to put on display the vessels He had shaped by His hand to fill with His life giving Spirit to manifest His expression of Love to others.

God often gives me revelation, not to show me information but to shift my perspective, to cause me to see someone or something as He sees. So I press into these perspectives in intercession trying my best to come into agreement with what I believe is the Fathers heart for man in this season.

Blessings to All,

Bill and Judy Weinkauff
