Dear People of the Northstate Vision:

Early in the year I wrote my conviction that God was not so busy giving new words for 2010 as he is calling on His people to act on the words He has given over the past three years. He has called us into an Elijah season of unprecedented numbers and kinds of signs and wonders – big, small and downright strange – alongside record numbers of decisions for Him. He has summarized the season in Luke 1:17 – go forth in the Spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, to prepare a people for righteousness. He has issued powerful prophetic calls for us to release the spirit of worship; choose (and re-choose – repeatedly) Whom we shall serve; and to rise, take our pallet, and walk – for the time of paralysis is passed.

That means we need to practice daily releasing worship wherever we are; choosing Him whatever we do; and walking in the power He places at our disposal to do whatever we see Him doing – and He is doing a lot.

The process unfolds slowly – like the crops ripening for harvest Jesus is so fond of employing as analogies of the Kingdom coming. I wish I had a dollar for each time in the past few months I have cried out, “When do the promises come true? How long must my heart be sickened by deferred hope?” Yet the Lord keeps saying, “I have waited longer for fulfillment than you have – a lot longer.”

We are in the harvest season – the crop needs only a bit more sun and a bit more rain to kick it to the last burst of ripening. Meanwhile, the Lord has ended drought, called us to root in Great Commission and Commandment, and dares us to call the harvest in as we called the drought over – at its onset.
CURRENTPrayNorthstateEVENTS

• PrayNorthState is preparing (as rapidly as we can) to launch a new radio ministry aimed at fostering intergenerational understanding and respect. Called Genesis Generation Radio, the two-hour live call-in program will air on Sunday Evenings from 6-8. It will feature rotating teams of co-hosts and each team will consist of a boomer aged host partnering with a genesis generation aged co-host. At least one member of each team will have serious counseling and crisis intervention experience and cred. The teams will talk about whatever is of interest that week while modeling intergenerational honor and respect to each other. They will take calls from young people and their families.

• Genesis Generation Radio will be simulcast on Redding’s KNCR (AM 1460) and Red Bluff’s KBLF (AM 1490) each Sunday Evening. It will also be heard on the web; the program will reach four NorthState counties on the air alone. We aim for a September launch. Jim is seeking sponsors for the program – call us at 530-941-3470 if God might be calling you as a sponsor. This is the most ambitious media undertaking we have ever attempted. Yet we know – and have plenty of confirmation – that it is an initiative whose time has come in our region. Please pray and plan to listen as we bring this program to the airwaves.

• PrayNorthState Radio and TV has impacted our region for Christ since 2001. Our weekly radio broadcasts are heard in Redding, Red Bluff, Mt. Shasta, Chico, and Yreka; and on television Monday Mornings throughout the region on Fox 20. Business persons or anyone wishing to serve the Lord as a sponsor of Christian broadcasting in a secular venue are encouraged to call us at 530-941-3470 or e-mail praynorthstate@charter.net.

• If you would like to book or attend any of the teaching events we do – or learn more about them – call 530-941-3470 or e-mail praynorthstate@charter.net.

WHAT’S UP IN THE NORTHSTATE AND BEYOND

• PrayNorthState TV – which has been on the air continuously in our region for the past six years – has been forced to suspend production by the FCC. During an audit of the Fox station that broadcasts us it was determined that we do not include closed captioning on our broadcasts. The equipment to bring us into compliance with federal regulations costs many thousands of dollars. Until we can secure the loan or donation of some used equipment of this type Fox is forbidden to broadcast our programming or risk heavy fines. We ask all of our supporters to pray over this situation and – if any know where we might obtain this equipment at no cost – please call us at 530-941-3470. And in case any are wondering – we are not being discriminated against; we have simply run afoul of some regulations about which we were ignorant and no one is willing to make an exception for us.

• National Day of Prayer was the most amazing NDP of the fifteen years we have been in Northern California. In Redding we had the largest turnout for the primary observance we have seen in many years – but the good news is they came with humble and praising hearts. The Bible Reading Marathon was again a great success, and the Wednesday Night Prayer and Praise featured many testimonies – including that of our local Assembly member Jim Nielsen. A number of people walked the city in prayer. We also had sick people healed and one deliverance during the Marathon from an oppressing spirit; that man accepted Jesus and was filled with His Spirit. Please write and let us know of your NDP experiences this year – of all years.

• PrayNorthState Radio now broadcasts on Butte Broadcasting’s Radio KKXX, heard in the Chico region on AM 940 and FM 104.5. We need businesses to sponsor the adventure – but we praise God for beginning this ministry pre-funded. Listen for us in the Chico region on Saturdays from 8-9 AM.

• The School of Prayer and Intercession will be a weekly event at Etna’s JH Ranch – a Christian guest ranch dedicated to partnering with Israel and praying in transforming revival along the Interstate 5 Corridor. Each school covers strategic and pragmatic intercession on topics ranging from Israel to Breaking Addictions to Starting a Prayer Group in Your Home. Inquiries may be directed to Ray or JoAnn Shelton at rshelton@jhranch.com or to Twila Frederick at 205-879-5601 to register.

• City on the Hill Youth Leadership Conference is an annual event sponsored and led by the Capitol Resource Institute. COTH is a weeklong summer camp in which young people receive Christ-centered coaching and hands-on experience in the legislative process and through mock sessions in which they role-play as legislators at varying levels. They hear from experts in government, education, policy-making, and media. The 2010 event is held at William Jessup University – a Christian school – in Rocklin, CA from July 20-25. Contact CRI at kengland@capitolresourceinstitute.org.

• Aglow International Advance is held from Friday through Saturday, June 11-12, at 3355 19th Avenue in San Francisco. Featured speakers are California Aglow leaders Carolyn Suty and Julia Rieff, Pastors Leroy and Leversie Johnson, Brad and Gigi Allen and Barney Wiget. Registration is $30.00 or $15.00 each session. Call 415-398-9007 or e-mail donnasfaglow@yahoo.com for information.

• The Back to School Project is a faith-based ministry operating in Red Bluff and Tehama County to provide back-to-school clothing and supplies for children of all ages. Led by Kimberly Berry the project is an annual event that uses donations received to take individual children on a shopping trip – accompanied by a fully vetted adult volunteer – to prepare for the new school year. Applications from families in need are being accepted from June 14 through 18 at Red Bluff’s Lariat Bowl located at 365 Main Street in Red Bluff. Donations may be mailed to P. O. Box 292, Red Bluff, CA 96080. Call Kimberly at 530-529-4074 for info.

• PrayerSurgeNow is a Chico and Butte County based ministry led by educator and prayer warrior Dai Sup Han with reach, activity, and influence all over the state. The ministry conducts a prayer walk of the Chico State University campus on Saturday, June 19, from 10 AM to Noon. They walk in order to pray on-site with insight for the blessing and redemption of the campus and those who live and work and learn there. Call Dai Sup Han at 530-570-0085 for information or to participate.

• Bethel Church, Redding, presents the Kingdom Culture conference June 23-25 at their Redding campus. The featured speakers are Bethel staffers including Senior Pastors Bill and Beni Johnson; Executive Pastor Kris Vallotton; and Family Pastor Danny Silk. Worship leaders will include Brian and Jen Johnson and Chris McClarney. There is a registration fee of $89.00 for individuals and $155.00 for couples. Go to www.ibethel.org for more information.

• Those who would threaten religious liberty in our land are undeterred by court decisions that go against them, as they are unmoved by logic and the heritage of God. Now the Freedom from Religion Foundation is suing the city of Ontario, California, for including our national motto, “In God We Trust,” on their city seal. (Multiple courts have already ruled the motto constitutional.) Pacific Justice Institute is defending the city at no charge. This is nothing more than another indicator that we are witnessing one of the signs of the times for which our Lord told us to watch – being hated by all for His sake. Don’t waste time on anger or fear – pray and rejoice for it all means that He is near.

UPCOMING PrayNorthState EVENTS

• Praying Home the Prodigals comes to Grace Anglican Church in Oceanside the weekend of August 20-22, to Paradise Nazarene Church the weekend of September 10-12, and to Word-A-Live Church in Penn Valley the weekend of October 8-10. Praying Home is the seminar designed to enable participants to fully engage the amazing Elijah season the Lord has launched in our midst. Topics covered include the dynamics of the season itself, the radical power of engagement with God and with one another, and the breaking off of obstacles to the ambassadorship for which each of us is born – and for such a time as this. Call us at 530-941-3470 for information.

• Prophetic Acts With Impact comes to St. James’ Anglican Cathedral in Fresno the weekend of September 24-26.

While he is in the region Jim will offer Looking God in the Face: Seeking His Vision to area clergy only; when God says He means to plant His vision in our hearts He means it quite literally. Call us at 530-941-3470 for information on either of these events.

• The Miracle of Healing comes to St. Augustine’s Anglican Church in Chico October 1-3. Sessions include Navigating the Season; The Miracle of Healing; The Privilege of Repentance; and The Miracle of Inner Healing.

The books sell for $16.00, but we offer the set for $25.00 plus $5.00 shipping. Jim has guested on nationally syndicated radio programs The Truth Uncovered, The Frank Pastore Show, and Bytes.
