Dear Free Indeed Intercessors,
The command was…
Open the Heavens and Keep them Open
So that the King of glory and his angel armies can come.
By grace, we did. And they did.
Psalm 24:7-10
These are brief highlights from the Cascadia Gathering in Vantage WA, May 11-13, 2021.
Many of us came humbled, having been hit hard from all sides. Thankfully, our God gives grace to the humble and that he did! There weren’t very many of us, but there were enough.
At our first gathering Tuesday afternoon, we stepped aside from the tables to sit in an informal circle of fellowship. We were soon worshiping with all of our hearts and the Lord’s presence was there. There was a wonderful heart connection with each other through the afternoon, dinner and evening of that first day.
The next morning, Holy Spirit led our group step by step to a place we had been praying for and seeking for some time.
The Lord had prepared each of us to bring something to share. One after another spoke, and as we obeyed what he showed us, Holy Spirit did with great impact what only he can do.
One word from heaven was that we were to invite the angels assigned to all nations to come to Vantage to be with us. We did; we believe they came. Strong prayer for Israel and the nations ensued as we were led to…
“Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.” Psalm 2:8
We were also instructed to open the heavens over Vantage so that the King of Glory and his angel armies could come to earth.
“Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.”
Psalm 24:7
I believe everyone sensed that the heavens did open wide over us and both the King of glory and multitudes of angels came, not just to Vantage but fanning out throughout the earth like low-flying lightning.
A victory over the enemy was also given, blowing him away. It was indeed a powerful four hours before lunch.
After dinner, we sat again in a circle worshiping. It was so tender, sweet and full of the joy of the Lord.

The anointing of the Holy Spirit is growing stronger and more lively in all of these and other meetings with both young and old. Revival fires may not be completely visible yet, but they are cooking underground and popping up here and there.
I’m pleased to be walking closely with Off-Broadway Family Outreach’s new pastor-counselor, Adriano Ferraro as he enters his new ministry. In every case of walking closely together with others, the blessings, growth and work of the Holy Spirit go in both directions and the body of Christ is strengthened.
Tuesday-Thursday – May 11-13, Cascadia Family Gathering, Vantage WA. Much of April and May focused on this Cascadia. The Lord drew key ones to come. He was working in all of our hearts and lives.

We were gratified and humbled as we experienced his might hand at work.
