Hi, it has been awhile. This is D-love Duke reporting from the promise land in Springfield, Ohio.
The Lion is moving not just in the church buildings but on the streets of Springfield. The reality and imprint of His Presence is clear. I have been directed by the LORD to walk the streets especially Limestone. There is a specific perch i go to--a bench on the corner of Limestone and John. It is a very busy street; a 4 way with lots of traffic; I know to many, I probably look like a homeless guy; but I feel so at home and the Presence of the Lord is so clear and evident. It is a wonderful place to be; waiting on the Lord and watching Him move. He has assured me that it is paid in full and therefore; I don't have to work for what is already purchased. In simple faith we receive all that He has promised; including and especially the harvest. Many sons in glory are coming forth. There are times, I am so moved by the Love of God--tears flow--as I witness His Love burning eyes open. Oh He so wants to persuade and convince us of His Love. On this corner I have been given many opportunities to pray, preach and prophecy into people's lives including an Islamic man; sometimes the Holy Spirit moves on me and I leap from the bench and cross the lane to a person sitting in the passenger seat and tell them the message the Lord gave Maureen. "The Lord is burning your eyes open with the fire of His Love." I am absolutely convinced, that not one person in Springfield will be left untouched by His presence and His Love.
Dream with me! For I see and am convinced that Springfield is Champion city and thousands of His champions are coming forth. One time on the bench, I heard and felt the Heart of My Father. "These are My Champions!" The broken ones, the tattooed ones, the homeless, the nobodies, the foolish and forgotten ones. These are His chosen and many are His leaders in this upcoming move and end time harvest. I know before the foundation of the world, He chose Springfield for His purposes and thousands and thousands of Champion Reapers will be raised up and released from this place. "Not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit!" There is much to be put in place and in view of the enormity of this vision; only the Lord will do such things. But, we believe and are persuaded that He is. It will take all of us together as one man. Agree with us as we move forward with Him; that we will be fitted and joined together with others in harmony with His purposes and will. Here and now, Lord!
I gaped and gazed at a Monarch butterfly for about a half hour--What a wonder is our God to have thought up and created such a marvelous creature. "Learn the lesson of the Monarch butterfly" He says. "They are coming forth; changed and transformed by my Love" They don't have to try to be, they simply are an incredible expression of His grace and beauty. Be you in Jesus name!
We have opened our home and are about to have our third meeting this friday. I love it! I Cor. 14:26 is applied and it is so exciting to be connecting with others especially younger people who are hungry and thirsty; who respond to and move in harmony with the Holy Spirit.; to see growth and development in the prophetic gifts. And genuinely touched by the love of Papa.
Right now, Maureen and Micah are in Washington, at the waterfront in Seattle eating Ivar's clam chowder. Something is not right; I am so jealous. Oh how I miss the beauty of the water and the beaches. Get over it Duke. They will be in Washington from Sept. 14th to the 24th. Give them a call if you want. 360-643-0826. By the way Maureen's 50th b-day is this Saturday. Excuse me for a moment. She is an incredible Women of God!
Jesse and Micah are starting to play concerts and are being well received. The presence, power and love of God are flowing from their lives. Leah is a changed women! It's a wonder to see. Stephen is an animal in the Spirit! Chloe is so anointed! and Ethan is a Spiritual giant.
In the next few days we will upload a bunch of photos. In the meantime check out Jesse and Micah's blog with recent photos of their concert at the farmers market. Here's the link:

For all of you who have been sowing into our lives. There is a huge harvest coming for you!
Like the farmer who plants the seed, it is a no brainer that with certainty--it will grow and bring forth fruit. watch and see. Love D-love Duke
P.S. May the Lord mess you up in His love!
