Upside Down And Backwards

I and my wife, Denise, have been on a journey together for going on 45 years. In itself our marriage has been an awesome adventure. Denise and I are so opposite form each other and as a friend pointed out this weekend I must have been drawn to her for just that reason and truth be told I have to admit the little lady has help a lot in shaping who I am today ... the good things one might choose to see in me just to be clear.

Anyway about the "journey", at least the chapter of it that occurred this weekend, February 5-7, 2015, which is what this post is suppose record. The chapter is full of the usual stuff of life and then the not so usual stuff of life. There was the natural and then the supernatural.

This past Thursday through Saturday noon we spent in Cartersville, Georgia. Now this is not our first time to be camped out in this north central Georgia Town. It is our second visit. The first had us on an assignment by Holy Spirit to hear of deep spiritual roots from the past that sprang froth out of this historic area. Our second visit was connected to the first. Denise puts it as being layers being applied one to another.

Both assignments have to do with God's purposes for America and our part in the unfolding.

If you have trouble grasping the concept of someone being on assignment from God for a single individual or nation, or nations, then I suggest you read the book of Acts, in particular the account of Ananias who was assigned by Holy Spirit to pray for Paul of Tarsus, and then the account of Peter and his afternoon vision / dream given him to prepare him for Heaven's assignment to go to the home of Cornelius, a Gentile, to pray those of that household would receive Holy Spirit and there witness a sovereign move of God that revealed He intended to and had already included the nations in what Holy Spirit was releasing into the Earth at time.

Anyway, back to this weekend, I could take some time here and write of what was encountered but honestly I do not know if I possess the capacity to do it justice. What I will do is journal a single end cap Holy Spirit put on the whole event.

The Contend As One Conference ended promptly at noon Saturday. Denise and I said our goodbyes to our close friends Dale and Pat, whom we met on another assignment of a few years ago when on a trip to Ireland, and were on the road headed home with some planned stops along the way. A beautiful day for a drive too! Perfect weather for a February in the South.

Denise had the iPad out plotting our trip as I was navigating to our first stop. She made remark about the strangeness of the map lay out on the iPad. By this time we had stopped to get something to drink for the road. So cutting the engine off I looked over at the iPad and saw what she was talking about.

The image of the map displayed had Atlanta as the hub but every thing around was not correctly oriented. What I mean to say is that where we were on the map, Woodstock, was showing as North East of Atlanta rather than South West as it should have been. The road numbers were the same but every town, city, land mark was backwards, not the letters, the locations.

Denise expanded the view so we were looking at the South East Region states. Tennessee was south of Atlanta. Florida was North of Atlanta, Birmingham was East of Atlanta as was Jackson. However, Savannah was West of Atlanta as was the Atlantic ocean. You get the Picture.

We set there for a few minutes talking about how crazy this was while several times Denise closed and reopened the app only for it to reopen in this, as she put it, Upside Down And Backwards configuration of the South East Regional States.

After the third time we decided that we could proceed ahead and move in a southward direction on Hwy 92 as we knew this would get us going in the right directions toward home.

Then as we were still looking at the screen there was a flicker and then the map actually flipped right to left! The content was now back showing landmarks, cities, towns, in there correct locations!

Now in that very moment I heard in my spirit something like these Words: "Though America has appeared to be turned upside down and backwards I will turn and flip and set back in right order America."

We had spent the weekend in an opened Legislative Assembly of the Ekkclesia, this was our assignment to be a part of that body of representatives to pray, intercede for America and then to agree and align with God's purposes to come! For it to be on Earth as it is in Heaven!

I believe that our iPad's glitch was arranged by Holy Spirit as a visual reminder and a personal prompting to speak out loud, to declare, what was accomplished by this open Assembly's simple trust and obedience to come before God at the designated time and place to pray, intercede, agree, and align.

As we turned southward headed home I spoke out loud with authority what I had heard Holy Spirit give to say. So to document clearly I close this journal entry with a version of that declaration:

"Though America has been Upside Down and Backwards by choice I have heard the remnants’ cry and will turn and flip America back to My purposes and America will fulfill the rightful and legal Destiny I have spoken!"
