Red Lights to Green Lights.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands

I’m writing this from the beautiful and destined city of Amsterdam in The Netherlands. We have been on our faces with global leaders praying, worshipping, and strategizing for how this BURNING movement is going to spill out of the prayer room and completely turn the world upside down. We are dreaming of communities, cultures, and nations being shifted by cultivating these “resting places” for God’s Presence!
In the foundation verse of Burn 24-7, Acts 15:16 states: “In the last days I will rebuild again the Tabernacle of David..” But it doesn’t stop there. Thank God it doesn’t stop there!! THE PRAYER MOVEMENT HAS TO GET THIS. But why are we throwing our lives into this deal? Acts 15:17 gives us the answer: “…that the rest of humanity may seek the Lord.” Its about the lost, the hurting, the nations! We are basing these revolutionary prayer and strategy times in the furnace right in the Red Light District - arguably the most disgusting, dirty, vile, demonic place on earth. Just the perfect place God wants to invade and see this mandate lived out! I’ve been telling people before this trip….if this powerful marriage of missions and worship we are all contending for can change the Red Light District…then it can work ANYWHERE!! We are partnering in covenant relationship with top leaders of the largest missions organization in the world (YWAM) to see the true marriage of missions and prayer play out. I’m pushing for our new combined motto to be: “get the blaze…spread the blaze!” Haha!! I love this stuff!! Its the dream of God to see this marriage be fulfilled!
I have many more incredible stuff to share…but I wanted to close with some prophetic revelation we’ve been getting through dreams, visions, and downloads from Heaven (its been flowing out here!!):
Last night, three burn directors including myself had the same dream and vision. The canals of this great city were completely overflowing and overtaking the streets, sidewalks, and bridges. It was a mighty flowing river throughout the Amsterdam…all the red lights had turned to green lights and the Lord said “Go, Go, Go!!” We’ve been experiencing some of the sweetest times of worship, soaking, fellowship, and prayer and God is releasing His Presence in a fresh way here! Amsterdam is the most culturally diverse city in the entire world and boasts over 180 nations in its borders. This city has an “Antioch” anointing to be a base of firebrands for Europe, Africa and into Asia! God has been revealing a very blueprint for this beautiful partnership of BURN 24-7 and YWAM to raise up radical disciples to plant “resting places” all over globe! These are exciting times we are living in and there is much more to come on this very soon!!

Sean,
God is completely invaded my life since you visited Lakeshore Tabernacle. I have been seeking God to become evident in my life and to change the atmosphere in my truck and to bring an atmosphere of heaven where ever I go. I started fasting a week before you came and Saturday at the burn preview you said the way to defeat Satan in Warfare is to lift up the name of Jesus…When Jesus becomes High and Exalted in your personal life this is the way to bring an atmosphere of Heaven’s realm and start flowing in the supernatural. When you spoke that something snapped within me and I have been on a mission ever since then to make Jesus evident in my life. It is a daily effort and God has been so faithful to answer. Sunday I talked to you after service and told you I was a truck driver with my husband going from Chicago to Salt Lake City and after telling you some stuff you made the comment, “Wow, you are like a traveling intercessor.” When you spoke that over my life it was prophetic. I used to do a miming ministry back in my college days before getting married. Me and the group of 20 people would intercede 5 days a week for several hours and travail. I have been praying that God would stir that prayer spirit within me.
Tuesday when I left for Salt Lake City I started driving at 5 PM Eastern and was done 12 hours later. And then all heaven broke loose. During my drive through Nebraska it got really foggy to the point where I almost screamed because I could not see. Then I took control of the situation and thanked God for the fog for watering the earth and then commanded the fog to lift and disappear so I could see and instantly the fog lifted and I drove fog free the rest of the time. I was driving through a blizzard with 3 inch flakes hitting my windshield on my way back to Chicago commanded the 50 mph winds to stop and I drove wind free the rest of the 1000 miles home. I told God that I feel like I am leaving a page out of the bible. Wednesday morning when I started to sleep I woke up 1.5 hours later in a jolt because the presence of God invaded the truck. My insides were shaking and all I could do is wail and intercede. I went back to sleep and within 5 hours had another 5 dreams. This has been happening ever since Tuesday. If I get 2 hours of sleep without waking up shouting in tongues or wailing or praising the name of Jesus I am lucky. Saturday I was woken up every 5-10 minutes from dreams that I keep having of God, angels, mass grouping of people singing and shouting to Jesus. I am talking millions of people in one accord shouting, “Freedom, fire, Holy Ghost Power, Lord I receive your dynamite power! Freedom, Fire, Holy Ghost Power, Lord I receive your baptism of Fire!” I had been praying that the week before you came and now that is all I can hear in my dreams and I wake up a lot of times screaming that on my lips.
Every time I start to be intimate with Jesus and lift my hands in worship no matter where I am at I light up and feel this intense heat, almost like fire from the inside. My hands, my head, my heart, my belly it all just sets on fire. I have received from God the baptism of Fire and the Fire of God is burning me from the inside out which is what I have been praying for in my life. Never did I expect to burn like this though. Also when I start to worship the presence of God comes in I feel like I am holding a ball of fire in my hand…It is that real. If I place my hand on my heart that is when things get really intense b/c fire and heat shoot through my hand and down my body on the inside.
What I love about this is that the change is happening from the inside out. I embrace the burn and Fire of God. God spoke to me so clearly and gently when I asked him what is going on. He said, “If my people do not start to embrace the Fire of God and ask to be put through the Fire and burn for me on earth, then I will have no choice when they stand before me on the Day of Judgement and throw them into The Lake of Fire.” It is time that we embrace the fire of God to purify us and let our flames burn brighter and brighter and show the world our fire. We cannot in this hour hide our light under a bowl. If the fire under the bowl gets no oxygen it will die, it will go out. Instead we must ask God to make us burn for Him like a forest fire that is not able to be stopped. My whole point in sharing this is, “I AM ON FIRE AND BURNING FOR JESUS! LORD LET MY LIGHT AND FIRE BURN BRIGHTER AND STRONGER!” God is real! God is answering prayers. Let’s pray that God not only sets forest fires through us but he keeps us burning like a furnace 24 hours a day on the inside. “GOD, TEACH US TO BURN FOR YOU AND SHOW US HOW TO SPREAD THE BURN!”
Please keep us posted with how God is moving around the world as I will be praying for you.
Your partner in prayer,
Katie
God Bless you and Kate
that’s amazing, God is so good… it’s all green lights when you’re living and operating from under an open heaven
be encouraged - last week there were drug raids in NIMBIN!! this place i renowned all through our nation as the most obvious place to score… everything, really. and the police have turned a blind eye for a really long time; people offer you hash at every corner and there are buses and buses of tourist tours that go through there everyday, kids getting all these hash cookies and getting so stoned, it’s what Nimbin is famous for…
but last week, the prayers and BURNing intercession for Nimbin broke through the heavens and there was some heavenly justice happening! this place is Australia’s Amsterdam, and God rocked it with justice and purity and redemption…
… it’s going to hit, worldwide.
open heaven over Amsterdam!!
