Shatter:
A key word that came to us this year was “Shatter”. Chuck Pierce prophesied that we should watch the places where glass was shattering. Since then, we have had some extremely significant things happen about glass shattering. Shortly after we released this, Donna, one of the Tent members was sitting in her living room with her husband, and all of a sudden they heard glass shattering in the kitchen. There, all by itself, a glass vase that almost looked like a wine glass shattered all by itself into many pieces with no one touching it. She brought it the next Sunday to the Tent in a T-shirt of the Tent of David and we had it there at the front of the sanctuary on New Years eve. When our son looked at it, he said “This looks like the broken wine glass that is smashed at the end of a Jewish wedding”.
The next shattering occurred in Jerusalem when Dan was at the harp course where a glass shattered on the stairs at exactly 3:11. It spoke to me of Jacob’s ladder and an open heaven being created. Then, when the harpists went to the gates to play, as Dan and another harpist were walking to the Eastern Gate to join the others following their assignment at their gate, a car quickly drove by them and the window of the car completely shattered into thousands of pieces.
Then, on New Years eve, I was preparing to bring a picture that Cathy had given us for Christmas of a lighthouse that had gates with Isaiah 62:11 on it. As I passed by the picture it fell over and the glass in the picture completely shattered! I was so shaken by it that I had to lie down. There was a supernatural speaking about that glass shattering over the contents of the picture. Isaiah 62:10 begins with “Pass through, Pass through the gates!”.
Then today, we were watching a short Chuck Pierce clip and there was a lady that had been in China that was given a boxed gift of the 5 gods of Mammon in the Chinese culture. When she went to the Post Office to pick it up, the glass in the box had completely shattered!! Mammon is the principality over finances. More on this later.
This year will also be a shattering of many things including the church. We heard the word “Pure” and “Purity” over and over. A pure word will come, pure actions, pure motives.

Possessing the Gates and the New Gate:
Bob Jones prophesied this year that what was prophesied in 2008 would come to fullness in 2011. We took this seriously and looked up our prophetic word for 2008. We also were sent Bill Hamon’s word for 2008. The two words were strikingly similar. Both had an emphasis on possessing the gates and coming into the new. So what we did on New Years eve is we brought a Chupah that we had made for the Feast of Tabernacles and used it as a canopy to represent the new gate. We had people come up and put a prayer shawl over their head and declare the destiny words they had over their lives in 2008 and beyond. We then had them put them on a piece of paper and we put them in the golden bowl that Dan took to Israel with him. At the end of the evening, we poured out the paper on to the ground declaring that the bowl had been filled and it was time to have it poured out. We had also brought a wine glass wrapped in a white towel and after pouring out the bowl, we had Dan shatter the wine glass signifying completion. It was very powerful.
Also in 2008, our friends, Alex and Rosetta Florence had a word “7 plus 1” for that year. In 2008 we had taken our first trip to Israel as the Tent of David. We were surprised with the realization that we were 7 plus 1 there (7 from the Tent and Hilda Chen). As the 7 plus 1 we walked through the New Gate in Jerusalem to declare the coming in of the New. This year, we had Hilda with us for New Years, so we had the 7 plus 1 prophetically go through the New Gate that we had set up declaring that He was making all things new.
When we woke up on New Years morning, we were all stunned when it began to rain and the snow began to melt away. Under the snow was beautiful green grass. Grass at this time of the year should be brown!! Even the wild flowers that I had planted last fall on the hill leading down to the river at our house were coming up in beautiful green leaves! The new had begun. We kept saying that it felt like March instead of January. (3/11)
A key word for this year is Possess. This is a warfare year. We must go in and possess. It is not enough to hear a word, but we must seize the word and go in and take it. It was interesting that on New Years eve, our hockey team in Ottawa was playing. It was so profound because they were behind 3-0 and then they came back and at precisely 1:11 to go, the Captain, number 11 scored the tying goal to make it 3-3. (3:11) But in overtime, they didn’t go in to possess and they lost the game. This is a year when we must possess!! We must cross over and go in!! One of the words that we received was Victory in Jesus. The captain will take us to the point of victory, but we must go in to take it. The promise is that if we engage the enemy, we will take the spoil.
One of the key words that came forth said that this was the year of Jacob. Jacob wrestled with the angel until the break of day. Part of the word was this:
“Just as I touched Jacob’s hip socket and caused him to limp says the Lord, so I am about to touch some of your hips to cause you to walk a different way. For you have seen My kingdom plan and purpose one ways says the Lord, but in 2011 I will cause a new revelatory realm to be imparted to you to expand your faith level and mindset to birth nation changing cultures to see My Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven. The advancement of my Kingdom says the Lord waits in the balance for My sons and daughter that will passionately push it in the direction I want it to go.”
This is the year of Samson. The enemy will want to cut off your locks to make you like everyone else. He took out his ability to see. That is what the enemy wants to do with you. He wants to make us see like everyone else. But this is a year to see the way God sees. In the shattering of the pillars of Dagon’s temple caused the strength of Samson to be revealed. Yeshua’s strength was poured in the weakness of human flesh and he became once again a champion. This is the year of the champions with God vision to come forth!
There will be many attempts to distract us from this, but the Word of the Lord is to stay focussed in 2011 and keep your eyes on what He has called you to do. We must position ourselves by standing directly in His Divine Presence. If we do this, all distractions will fade in His light.

This is the year of the power of the decree:
What you say this year is what you will get. This is a year of extreme obedience. We must do and say only what the Father is doing and saying. This is the year of the Dominion of Canada. Speak this over our nation. He WILL have Dominion this year from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth.
Isaiah 51: 15, 16: For I am the Lord you God, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar (the Lord of Hosts is His name). I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of my Hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion ‘You are my people’.
The Tide has turned and is coming in like the Bay of Fundy Tidal bore. This year, the battle will be won at the Gates.
This is the year of Destiny. This is the year to fully commit to the plan that has been ordained for each one “from the womb”. The word is near you, even in your mouth but you have not had the courage to prophesy it. Now is the time to declare the thing and it shall be done unto you! There are Esthers who hold destiny in their hands this year but they need to come forth to proclaim it.
This is the year of Simeons. (Luke 2: 25-32) He had a promise, he stood on this promise, and despite what seemed an unending delay, he saw the salvation of Israel come forth exactly according to the Word of God. This is the year of the actuality of our dreams. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future”

This is the year of abundance:
Just as the glass was shattered over the gods of Mammon, so the way has been made to go in to possess in the area of finances. Joseph was the 11th son. This is a Joseph year.
There will be blessing in the tithe this year. Those who have been faithful in the Ten and have been battering the gates of financial breakthrough will see those gates shattered this year and move into release.
This is a year for businessmen to move in God’s wisdom, knowledge and creativity. Those who carry the seal of God on their hearts will receive the double portion of that which Jacob received just as his son Joseph did. There are new business ideas, practices and inventions that are being released in the Spirit realm for those who will come before Him and lay everything at His feet and submit to doing it God’s way.

This is the year of Portals of Glory:
Every year at New Years we try to give a small gift that speaks prophetically of the coming year. This year we gave a beautiful bookmark called “Eternity”. On this bookmark was a picture of two birds sitting in a tree. The interesting thing about this was that Martha from the Tent had a heavenly experience just a couple of days before where there were many birds around her. The birds in her experience were exactly like the birds in the picture. Birds speak of Heavenly Messengers. Get ready for heavenly portals to open up this year.

This is the Year of Rebecca’s Tent:
When the theme of the Jewish wedding began to unfold with the Chupah and the breaking of the wine glass, I thought that I would look up the meaning of the breaking of the wine glass in Jewish weddings. What I learned was so amazing. In Jewish lore, the elements of the wedding began with Isaac and Rebecca. Isaac is the 11th from Shem after the flood. The main elements are the Chupah, the veiling of the Bride and the breaking of the wine glass. Genesis tells us that Isaac took Rebecca into his mother Sarah’s tent and married her.
I remember when we were fixing the Chupah for the New Year’s watch that I was trying to put bridal veil over the canopy. Nothing seemed quite right until I kept the veil along the top with an opening in the middle. When I stepped back to look at it, it appeared to me like we were going under a cloud when we went into the Chupah. Also the opening in the middle was like an open heaven.
This is how God puts things together. Without knowing this, we had everyone go under the Chupah, put a prayer shawl over their heads (the veiling of the bride)to declare their destiny and then we broke the wine glass at the end!!
The blessing of Rebecca was that her descendents were going to possess the gates of their enemies!.
Finally, I read that the Jews believe that Rebecca inherited the blessing of Sarah’s tent:
· There would be light there from Shabbat to Shabbat (we light the menorah at the Tent from Shabbat to Shabbat)
· There would be blessing in her dough (abundance)
· There would be a cloud of His presence over her tent!
There is about to be poured out the blessing of Rebecca’s Tent for those who are willing to possess it this year. We are going to live in light. We are about to experience a release of abundance and all of this in the cloud of His presence. What a year!!
The tide has turned. The wave of His Spirit has been released. We are passing through the Gates and we will war until we possess.
Many, many blessings for 2011.
Tent of David Ministries

There is a sense as I am writing this report on the word for 2010 that came out of the Tent of David on New Year’s eve that if it is not written very soon, events will overtake us and this will not seem like a prophetic word at all. There is an excitement welling up even as I write this now, that says, “Get ready!  The time is now!”

This is the year of the Ancient of Days who will reveal secrets to those who wait for Him.

Two years ago, we were given ancient keys to unlock doors; last year, we prophesied that an ancient gate was going to open up. Following this, we have taken ancient keys that we got in Israel around the world to prophetically open up gates in the Spirit. Then nearing the end of this past year, we heard about the ancient Eastern gate in Israel where Israel crossed over and where Elisha got Elijah’s mantle is being opened to the public by the government of Israel. Watch for ancient gates all over the world now begin to open up! Then this year, as we began our worship time on New Year’s eve, we began to sing Steve Swanson’s song about the Ancient of Days who has a river of fire flowing before Him. As we sang that, there was something happened in the atmosphere. The Ancient of Days showed up! Read everything you can about the Ancient of Days in scripture. He is about to manifest ancient anointings and reveal secrets that we have not seen until now.

This is the year of unprecedented revelation.

We are entering into a year of sight. The seers will see with new clarity, unhindered. Through dreams, visions and by the Spirit, keys will be given to enable overcomers to tear down systems of thought and established mindsets contrary to the character and plan of God. This will cause an increase in the intensity of God’s presence in our midst. Music will play a prominent part in releasing new truths about the covenant of God with His people. New realms of music will be entered into where ancient sounds will bring forth a transformation in the earth.

It is the year of the ‘bountiful eye’.

The bountiful eye is an eye that sees the provision of God through the cross and His resurrection life. The bountiful eye is full of light. The bountiful eye is one that has been drinking from the wells of salvation. The bountiful eye is one of intimacy with God. It is one who goes up higher and is infused with fresh oil from the throne. It releases bounty. Let your hand be a hand of blessing. Give your way out of debt. Those who sow bountifully shall also reap bountifully. See your bounty come forth!

This year will be a manifestation of Cana of Galilee.

The beginning of the year will be a time of water, followed by an outpouring of wine. The first thing that has been impressed on us has been Isaac’s well, Rehoboth, in Genesis 26. We have been striving for wells of water to be established, but God is saying we are coming into a place of rest. The name Rehoboth means “the Lord has made room for us and we shall be fruitful in the land”. The beginning of the year will be a time of rest, expansion and fruitfulness! There will be less work and more absorption into the Glory Realm. Following this season, which we sense will be fairly short and accelerated, there will be a time when the water is turned into wine.

A couple of days before our New Year’s eve service, we were sent two dreams that one of our friends had about Dan. In the first dream our friend was pouring Dan a glass of wine that had a stopper on it that would only allow about 1 oz to pour out. As he poured it into his glass, the stopper fell off and the wine surged into the glass and overflowed it. In the second dream the wine bottle had a particular stopper on it that only allowed the wine to be poured out slowly. He asked Dan to pour his own this time and when he did, the wine poured into the glass like a hose with unstoppable force, filling it and spraying wine all around! Friends, we are coming into unprecedented days of an overflow of wine.

This year the pure, spotless bride is coming to the banqueting table in the House of Wine.

God is transforming His bride this year, causing her filthy rags to be discarded and new white garments to be displayed. This will not simply be an outward thing, but the very substance of who we are is being changed to become the very nature of the bridegroom. God is positioning His bride to “be all that we can be”.

There has been much come to us about the bride coming to the banqueting table. Last year, we purchased oil for our lamps to get ready for the bridegroom. This year the bride is coming to the House of Wine. Song of Songs 2:4 says “He brought me to His banqueting table and His (bridal) banner over me is love”. The meaning for banqueting table here is House of Wine. The bridegroom is bringing the bride to the House of Wine! And here the wine is being poured out according to the Kings liberality! When Steve Swanson was here this fall, he began to prophesy in song about God setting a table before us in the presence of our enemies. This year we surely will have enemies come against us, but we will be in the House of Wine! New wine is associated with abundance and harvest.

This will be a year for pouring in the oil and wine.

Last year we bought oil and Steve Swanson saw waves and waves of oil pouring into the Tent. This year, we will mix it with the liberality of wine to bind up the wounded ones. There is coming a wave of the wounded to the House of Wine. Let the wine flow in abundance and the wounded will return unto the Lord. The week before we had our New Year’s watch, the scripture, Hosea 6 became real to us. “Come let us return unto the Lord, for He has torn us, but He will heal us. He has wounded us, but He will bandage us”. The wounded and broken are coming. Make a way for them in the House of Wine!

This will be the year of the Overcomer.

Jesus is the chief overcomer. He is the Lord over all lords, King over all kings, and those with Him will be called, chosen, faithful. To those who press in to animate the spirit of the overcomer, the root cause of your hindrances will be revealed by the Spirit of Truth. This will be a year that will demand increased yielding to the Spirit of God. To those who yield more, we will come to the place where the Spirit of God has us. It will be out of that place that our cries will move the hand of God.

There are crowns that the Lord wants to bestow upon His children that are supernatural: crowns of righteousness, crowns of glory and life.

In 2010, the Spirit of the fear of the Lord will take on new meaning.

God will bring back an overwhelming awe in His people. It is the time of Hakkadosh: the realm of the holy is entirely set apart from the common, the habitual or the profane. The Holy is singular, awe-inspiring, even “terrible”. We will come to be freely infused with deeper levels of humility and the fear of the Lord.

The overwhelming sense for this year was that in the midst of all that will be taking place around us, we will be in a place of unsurpassing joy in the House of Wine. God truly is preparing a place for us in the presence of our enemies. Get ready, buckle up your seatbelts. We are in for a ride! The mountains are going to drop sweet wine.

Many blessings in 2010, the Year of the House of Wine,

Tent of David Word for 2009

An Ancient Gate is now opening

We believe that the way is being opened for ancient anointings to come forth.  The new gate opened the way for the ancient gate.  Ancient keys are going to be given to open ancient gates. A couple of days before we had our Sunday watch prior to New Years Eve, a friend sent me a picture that he had taken on a prayer journey.  There was something about that picture that was very compelling.  It showed a natural stone gateway with a set of mountains in the background.  We took it to the Tent for the Sunday watch and immediately a prophetic anointing came on everyone.  We felt God say that there were anointings that have not been seen for many generations that were being made available to the body of Christ if they hunger after them.  Immediately after this, we found ourselves praying that the sleeping giant called the Church would awaken and come into her anointing.  When I sent the picture to a friend in Israel, without mentioning anything about what we had received, she said that all she could see was a sleeping giant.

We also felt that we had been using the ancient key that we got in Jericho last year to take all over Canada to prophetically open things in the Spirit, but that this year we were to take the ancient key that we got inside old Jerusalem, which is smaller, to be the key we use this year.  Suddenly one of the members of the Tent came up and asked us to open the gift she had brought for us.  The gift was a book entitled “Little keys that open big doors”!

It is the year of Fresh Oil that is a mixture of many previous revivals

About a week before our prophetic watch, I received a call from someone I had not spoken to for a number of years.  She told me that God had been speaking to her about getting oils from four revival spots and mixing them together and then anointing the four corners of Ottawa for revival.  The four places were North Battleford, Saskatchewan (the place of the ‘48 Latter Rain revival), Pensacola, Toronto and the Hebrides.  She and husband got oil from the first three places and then found out that Dan and I had been to the Hebrides several times.  She asked if we could find a way to get some oil from that place. This triggered an amazing download of prophetic revelation between the two of us.  She had no idea that on Rosh Hashana I had felt led to give everyone who came to the Tent of David a vial of different oils from Wales mixed together.  I didn’t know the full meaning of it other than I felt that 5769 (the Hebrew year) was to be associated with these mixed oils from the place of the Welsh revival.

Someone else talked about a vision of a drop falling into a large pool. The rippling effect spread throughout the nation. She saw a drop of the mixed oils(from the revival sites) drop into this large pool. She believed it was Ottawa and it flowed out to the rest of Canada in a rippling effect.

It is the year of the Wise and Foolish Virgins:  It’s time to buy oil!

After I talked with this friend about the oils, I began to seek God about what we were to give as a gift on New Years Eve.  I had felt that we were to give everyone a gold coloured coin.  When I began to ponder how this fit with the oils, my thoughts went to the wise and foolish virgins who had to go buy oil.  I just sort of sat on it but after the Sunday watch, with the word about the sleeping giant, I felt more and more in my spirit that the wise and foolish virgins was a word for the church this year.  When I got to the Tent on New Years Eve, the friend who brought the oils was there and when I told her about the gold coins, she was so amazed, because she had given a prophetic word at her church on that Sunday about the wise and foolish virgins!  Then a couple of days later, we learned that at the Heavy Rain conference held at New Years at TACF, two speakers spoke on the wise and foolish virgins!  We believe very strongly that the Lord is saying for this year that it is time for the sleeping church to wake up and to buy oil.  The Bridegroom is on the way!  It is the year of choice for the church.

It is a year to cherish and steward the anointing.

It is the Year of the Jew:

This was the next major word that came forth from many sources.  A word that was given to the Tent on New Years was that we were going to enter more into being a one new man church and that we were going to lead the way in this region.  One person felt that it was a time for the old and new covenants coming together (one new man). He had a vision of a lion with wings and talons of an eagle.  This lion was crushing the oppression that was holding us back.  The Lord revealed to him that this vision represented the old and new covenants.  The Lord bore the Israelites on eagles’ wings when then went out of Egypt (old covenant) and the Lion of Judah goes before us crushing the enemy (new covenant).

Another person came with an envelope with 50 Canadian dollars, 50 American dollars and 50 Israeli shekels.  She felt it was a prophetic act of making access for Jews from the USA into Canada.  Just a few months prior to this, we had felt to buy a US flag and hang it at the Tent opposite to the Canadian flag.  We are not sure of the complete revelation of this but we do feel that the time for the one new man church is now.  Another person brought as a gift to the Tent a bell that was purchased in Jerusalem.  She said that the ringing of the bell was to tell us to stay focused on Israel. The other interesting thing was that when the friend with the oils came she felt to add some oil from Israel into the vial!  There will be an anointing for revival for those places that honor the feasts of the Lord and make way for the one new man.

It is a bridal covenant year for Canada:

This also came from a number of sources.  Also, back to my picture friend.  The same day he sent me the picture of the ancient gate, he sent me an amazing picture of a rainbow in the clouds over the Canadian arctic that formed a perfect circle. It was as though the Bridegroom had placed his ring over Canada in the covenant rainbow colours.  The Bridegroom is coming to an awakened church, who has bought oil and who shines forth in the darkest of nights! Another word was related to the Hebrew letters for this year which were a picture of being yoked to God.

Also for those who walk in obedience to His covenant this year, a holy transformation of the heart will be seen.  God will give great favour to those who come out and be separated unto Him.

Someone came with the word CLEAR with several scriptures related to “clear”. These scriptures all spoke of different things, but they all had the sense of purity about them.  The Bride will not only shine, she will be clothed in spotless raiment.  Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun?  Song of Sol. 6:10.  Someone else spoke of the purity of His light flushing out those planks/painful things that hindered us from seeing people with His eyes of compassion. 

This is a year to take courage and go in an possess the land by force

This word was confirmed over the next few days at a US prophetic conference.  There was a real emphasis on going in and possessing our inheritance this year. Those who have been prepared in the desert will “cross the line in 2009”.

The colours for the year are blue, green and yellow.

Blue is the colour of revelation.  When we arrived at the Tent on New Years eve, we were startled to see that out of all of the large gothic windows was a beautiful blue light.  The whole Tent was shining blue.  At first we thought that Dan, who had been there earlier, had surprised us by putting blue lights in the sanctuary.  Instead, when we went in we saw that he had forgotten to turn off the projector and the blue light was shining on the wall and filling the place!  Later Dan came in and stood up with his word for 2009 that he had written a few days before and said the colour was blue for the year.  It’s not surprising that the Tent was looking blue, since this was the night for revelation.  A number also said that we would have a clear word that would represent the real prophetic, and that this year the veil between heaven and earth would become very thin.

Other colours that were given were green and yellow.  The next day we were watching the Starting the Year Off Right conference with Chuck Pierce and one of the speakers proclaimed that the only thing God told him was that the colour for the year was Green!  Chuck then said “The River is Green!”  When we thought about that, a blue river mixed with yellow oil becomes green!  It’s a river of Oil!!

Once again one of the “clear” scriptures that was brought: Then I will make their waters clear and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah  Ezek 32:14.

This is the year of the prophet and prophetic acts:

This word was brought forth and then the Lord confirmed it with so many prophetic acts.  So many people were impressed to bring gifts to the Tent that night.  One girl brought a picture of an angel blowing a trumpet announcing JOY.  Yellow is the colour of joy. This will be a year when we will know the joyful sound.  I believe the Lord reinforced so many prophetic acts that night because we were ushering in a year of prophetic acts. 

It is a year of signs, wonders and miracles:

The prophetic pictures of things like rainbow circles in the sky will be signs for those who “see”.  Miracles will be there for those whose lamps are trimmed with fresh oil. 

It is a year to know the honeycomb of the Word. 

It is a year to devour the word and even recite the word day after day until it gets into your spirit.  A scripture that the Lord has been reinforcing lately is Psalm 23.  Recite it.  Let Him anoint your head with oil as you do!

It is a year of abundance for givers:

Big givers will reap big harvest.  This is not a year to hold back.  This is a year to give in the time of famine and to see God’s Kingdom manifest.  It is the year of uncommon multiplication.  The gold coins that were given this year also spoke of Kingdom abundance being released.

It is the year to release the sound of Faith:

Faith has a sound.  There is a God sound of faith that says “Light be”..and light was. It is a reckless sound of faith that says, “We are not careful to answer you in the matter O King, Our God is able to deliver us out of the fiery furnace but whether He does or whether He doesn’t: we will not bow down”. 

There is the prophetic sound of faith which releases kingdom power to take cities, regions and nations. It is a faith sound that declares that this is the year for the prodigal to come home, for signs and wonders to break out and for this nation to come into its inheritance!

There is the inner song of faith that that will spring up within you this year: for this is the time to bring forth the capstone to shouts of Grace, Grace! it is the Lords doing! BEHOLD HE COMES! It’s time to buy oil! Let the awakened bride make herself ready!

 Many blessings and much favour in 2009
