Luke Holter:"The Ground in Texas is Pregnant and Waiting to Give Birth!" An Angel Over Texas

As I read this word I had a very strong witness in my spirit. I happen to have a real heart for Texas with the Houston and San Antonio areas in particular. In fact, I feel that God might move me out there next year. We as the Church need to be praying for this move in Texas. Let us pray that Texas, as the Lone Star State, will be a beacon of light to this nation.

Luke Holter:"The Ground in Texas is Pregnant and Waiting to Give Birth!" An Angel Over Texas

Since the beginning of 2009, the Lord has been preparing the ground in Texas to give birth. Recently one of our friends, Shawn Bolz, from California, came to Houston to speak at a conference. He uttered a powerful prophetic word over our ministry, along with one of our other team members. On the second night of our "Deep unto Deep" conference, Shawn saw an angel in our main sanctuary. Shawn said that the angel was holding two broken swords and had come to bring revival to Texas and breakthrough for our ministry, our city and the state.

Many things we have been praying and believing for started to happen. We had advancement with our direction and desire as a team; our senior pastor, Jason Morse, was just sent to Kenya, Africa; and many from our team have been invited to participate and speak in global crusades. We are experiencing a beginning, pivotal move and direction from the Lord!

The ground in Texas is pregnant and waiting to give birth! This angel, I believe, has been assigned to this region—to assist in bringing forth a move of God in Texas! To bring forth all the oil that is under the ground of the Church in Texas.

A Vision of a United Church

So much of the word of God has been sown into the ground in Texas, and the religious spirit has kept this birth from coming forth. But the Lord says, "I am sending in and rising up a generation that will kill this goliath. Now is the time when I will raise a standard in Texas through a lovesick people who are abandoned to the heart of the Father!"

The Lord gave me a vision of the united Church of Texas lifting their voice in unity and the songs they were singing were causing large clouds to appear. The clouds broke open and the water soaked into the ground. As the people kept singing, the ground began to break open, seeds started to bud, and large apple trees came out of the ground, then fruit began to fall from the trees back to the ground.

It is through the power of prophetic worship that this religious spirit will be confronted. There is a "working together with the Lord" that will bring forth a move in Texas. As we sang to a pregnant earth, the clouds came and the water broke. I believe this is bringing a reality for us of Heaven invading earth.

We need to call upon the power of the Holy Spirit to activate the word sown into the ground by bringing the rain. The rain is a symbol of a great outpouring in Texas. This outpouring is not only for Texas (although this was specific for Texas in my encounter). I believe there will be a "connect the dots" outpouring all over the world!

I believe that the Lord is rising up a generation that will be called the "sons of thunder" and this is not gender specific. It is those who will thunder the love of God and bring the physical manifest love of God upon the land and people. This is a prophetic people, a group of young people, that will move in prophetic power bringing forth the oil of love. Bringing forth the balm of Gilead (see Jeremiah 8:22).

In Texas, the oil is coming up! The Holy Spirit will activate the promises of God and the secret things spoken over Texas that have been laid in the ground. I saw oil springing up from the ground, and Texas will be known for the "oil of healing" and the "oil of intimacy!" Texas will be known for digging deep into the heart of the Father and bringing up knowledge and revelation.

Many Have Prophesied Over Texas

We have recently had Chuck Pierce, Dutch Sheets, Shawn Bolz, Rob Hotchkins, and many others come to Houston, Texas and give powerful words of the coming outpouring over this state! At this recent conference we were told that we would battle this religious spirit, God would not let us fail, and the Lord would use us to overcome! The Lord is looking for those in Texas that will not give up and will continue to move forward in the power of the Holy Ghost!

I am so desperate to see this outpouring break open here in Texas! This is a time for the Church of Texas to bring forth Jesus to all! This is a time for the Church of Texas to arise and embrace prophetic worship! William J. Seymour, who was the main face of the Azusa Street revival, was from Houston, Texas and the move was rejected at that time because of the religious community. We have a heritage in Texas for revival and we have NOT lost it. I feel that the Lord is asking us to take a stand in the southern church against the spirit of religion and racism. We are to break the old mold and create a container for the times.

Shawn Bolz once told me that one of the names of God in Hebrew is Baal-Perazim, which means "Master of the Breakthrough." This is seen in 2 Samuel 5 when David defeated his enemies in that land! We can grab hold of this for our region! I encourage pastors, churches, business owners, politicians, educators, and families in Texas to come into "prayer agreement" over your family, occupation, and the land itself.

We shall prophesy and sing forth through this birthing process...it will be birthed!
