In this
update, I would like to share with you some highlights from being in
Tucson for the Revelations of the Open
Book Conference - West Coast.

conference are now available by clicking

Sabino Canyon - Place of Supernatural
Events
 Before the conference started, Pastor
Shelley took the group that came from his church in Alabama to
Sabino Canyon, on the outskirts of Tucson.
This is where Bro. William Branham had some of his
supernatural experiences in the
1960's.
In
the little ascending valley in this picture there used to be a cove
before a big flood caused a huge landslide in 2006. A
supernatural white dove appeared to Bro. Branham in this
"Cove of the Dove" which was a sign to him that his chronic stomach
problems would be healed.
You can
read or listen to Bro. Branham's sermon "On the
Wings of a Snow White Dove," where he relates this
experience, by clicking
here.
In this
picture, Pastor Shelley is singing "On the Wings of
a Snow White Dove" after explaining to us where this experience took
place. It was one of Bro. Branham's favorite songs, and there
was a special anointing as Pastor Shelley sang it
there!
Another special place is Pulpit
Rock, which Pastor Shelley is pointing to in this
picture. It's the small hump on the profile near the
top.
This is
where Bro. Branham received an ornate sword
supernaturally as he stood with his hands raised. A
Voice told him it was the "Sword of the
King." He later told someone that it felt
as real to him as holding a butter knife that was on their
table.
 Our group only walked up the
trail a short ways due to lack of time, but Pastor Shelley
brought the WhiteDove team there after the conference and they
climbed all the way up to Pulpit Rock.
In this
picture, Pastor Shelley is standing at Pulpit Rock with his hands
raised like Bro. Branham did. He said there was a
wonderful anointing there.
To read
or listen to Bro. Branham telling about this experience in
"The Seventh Seal," click

Sunset Mountain, where Bro. Branham had his
incredible experience of being caught up in a constellation of seven
angels, is about two hours away from Tucson so we did not go
there.

the supernatural events in the life of Bro.
Branham that took place in Arizona, you can

 On the Sunday morning after the
conference, we went to the Tucson Tabernacle,
pastored by Bro. Pearry Green, who was very close
to Bro. Branham and was with him when he died.
In the
hallways and rooms of this church are many pictures and
articles about Bro. Branham's life and supernatural
experiences.
Pastor
Shelley preached here often many years ago. In this picture,
he is with his wife, Stacey.
Restoration of the Glory Realm Movement of God
- Now Beginning
It was so awesome being in the same hotel that Bro.
William Branham preached in several times during the last
three years before he died. Many were healed in that
conference room by God's awesome power! At times during
our conference, I imagined that I was in those
meetings!
 One of the many blessings was to meet
A. A. Allen's son, Paul Allen, and hear him share
some about his father. It was also great to see A. A.
Allen's granddaughter, Cheryl Allen Bryan, again and hear
her stories about her grandfather!
In this
picture, Chuck Pierce has placed a mantle over
them and said:
This
mantle represents a mantle that is coming back into its
fullness in this region, a mantle in this state
that will begin to affect this entire
nation.
What was brought forth at the
beginning, even in this bloodline, and that which was not pressed
out completely, now will be the season that it's pressed
out.
We are entering a nine-year season of pressing out the
anointing that has been brought into the earth realm
that created the last harvest.
That was the anointing that caused
harvest to stir in this land. But this land now has lost its
concept of harvest.
So the next nine years,
beginning tonight, will be years to press forth and to bring forth
the oil of this move that is now beginning. For what I
have begun, I now will begin
again. Two generations ago, I used
one to step out and begin a movement. But now I will restart that Glory realm.
And I have come to this city to bring a new realm of Glory
in.
Even the words that have
been spoken to stop that which I now will pour out . . . I am
beginning to go deep down into the bellies of the people that have
carried the seed of discord on My behalf of what I began that never
came to completion. And now I will pull out words that
have captured the move of God that now will come forth
again.
The Lord
would not allow Chuck to do any travel three weeks before
this conference in order to prepare him for it. He was
shown many things that would come and was told that at the
conference he must prophesy into the root that the Lord
brought forth in the last move of God.
He said
that the Lord showed him the degree of darkness of each state in the
union, and Arizona was the brightest
state. He said the new move of God would
start in Arizona.
The Lord
told Chuck that the large group of us from Alabama would
take back to Alabama a double portion of what was released
into Arizona!
And
To Each Age Group, the Lord Says . . .
Chuck
prophesied to each age group:
If You Are 70 or
Above:
There
are divine decrees for healing that I placed
within you. Begin to call forth. Call forth what you
want to see in this season. Call forth so that I
might come in and begin to move in a way that has been stopped in
the past season.
If You Are Between 40 and
70:
For the wilderness has entered your soul, and you have
been resisting the wilderness, and you have been prevailing
against the wilderness.
But now I will put a Word in you, and you will
prophesy in a new way. For I will cause prophetic
utterance to come from this generation that has been held up
and been held back.
You will be a
generation that rises up and begins to prophesy, and begins to
overthrow the enemy’s plan that
has brought in a
wilderness dryness on My spiritual heart that I am longing
to display.
Receive the prophetic anointing, for
it will now form within your mouth, and you will begin to speak in
ways that you’ve not spoken before. And you will begin
to decree things that you’ve not decreed
before.
And you will overturn seeds that have grown in the
wrong direction. You will cause the move of lawlessness in
this state and in this land to take a turn toward My
Glory.
If You Are Between 30 and
40:
This will be the season
of the call upon you. I will begin to call you forth
in a new way, and you’ll have eyes to
see. And you’ll say, “Lord, it’s amazing that I’m
seeing what I’m seeing.”
It is you who will begin
to see Me and follow Me, and minister to Me in a new
way. You will be caught up in worship, and
you will begin to seize every moment that comes before
you.
If You Are Below
30:
You will be
known as the mobilizers of My
forces. For you, this is the generation that I must
commission again. You will connect with the three groups that
I have mentioned, and you will hear the words forming in them.
And you will say, "We will do this. We will do
this. We will move forward. We will move
forward."
You
will run the devils from the desert out of this
land.

Pierce prophesied during his whole session on the first
night. To hear all that he prophesied,

One
Great Holy Ghost Bomb Is Coming!
 We were greatly blessed by the
testimonies from Buford Dowell in the last
session. He was the organ player for many of the great
evangelists during the days of the great healing revival. He
often played for Bro. Branham's meetings, including
one in 1965 in the hotel we were in.
Buford told us about a special conversation he
had with Bro. Branham in a restaurant when he was a young
man trying to convince Bro. Branham to let him promote him
better. It was about six months before Bro. Branham
died. Here are some highlights:
I said, “Brother Branham, you know
you’re only 50 years old.
(Actually he would have been 56.) You've got plenty of
energy. You've just
been hunting. If you
just had the right promotion, you could have the biggest
crusades you've ever
had.”
He looked at me
and smiled, and dropped his head. He said, “No, son. You
see, that’s not the way God planned it.”
That wasn’t really
what I wanted to hear, but how do you tell William Branham something
you didn’t want to hear?
He was speaking for God, and I was listening with my
old carnal brain.
I said, “What do
you mean, Brother Branham?”
He said, “Well,
you see, God’s through with me.” And I almost fell off my
seat.
I said, “What do
you mean about that?
You've got plenty of years
left.”
He
said, “Well, my season has come to a close.” And he went on to explain
how he had been part of a great season of healing revivals. He mentioned all the Voice
of Healing preachers, many of them. He mentioned Brother
Allen. He had been in
some of my father’s meetings, and he was kind to mention that.
Brother Branham said, “I’ve been in the
season. We laid
hands on people one at a time, and we saw blind eyes open, cancers
disappear, the lame walk. And oh, it was
wonderful.”
But he said, “Another season is coming. And this season is going to
be teaching the revelation of the Word of Jesus Christ,
who we are in Him and who He is in us.” Not just Jesus hanging on the
cross. That’s
wonderful. But religion
will leave Him on the cross.
He said,
“It’s about Jesus in us, and us in Him.”
And he said, “This
season will go for a while, and then it will come to a
close.
"And God is going to take every move of God in
history, and even what we witnessed, and what we saw
in Bible days, and put it all together
in one great Holy Ghost bomb and drop it on Planet Earth, and
the nations will rock and reel with the power of God, like we’ve
never seen.
"On prime time
news, not the late night talk/gab shows, not the preachers . .
. the prime time news will show the dead being
raised, and limbs created, and eyes being put back in eye
sockets, and arms stretching out. And preachers won’t
lay their hands on them like we
did.
"There’ll be so many people, no
auditorium, no church, no arena, no tent will hold the
people. They’ll
either stand in an open field . . .
“God is going to bring the
ministry of the apostles and the prophets to the
forefront. They will have the
mind of God, and the heart of God, and the Voice of God. And when they speak,
their words will become the Words of God. They won’t say what man
says. They won’t say
what denominations say, or tradition, or any of
that.
"They will speak as the Oracle of
God. And they won’t
just speak about the future. And when they speak as the Oracle
of God, whatever they say, God will create it
because it will be His time, His will and His Word. And it won’t be about them,
it will be about Him."
T. L. Osborne
said, “William Branham was raised up to
show the Body of Christ that we can do what Jesus
did.”
Paul Keith Davis
then said:
It’s about a Body of people, walking
with God, becoming the habitation of Him. It’s about miracles, but
it’s about God in us.
We are about to encounter realms of darkness. If we don’t get that
level of the Lord in us, we’re not going to be able to meet the
needs of our
generation.
Bro.
Branham said that every
mantle, every anointing, every commissioning that has existed will
be dumped into our day.
Buford Dowell had shared that he got the gift to play
the organ when Jack Coe laid his hands on him and prayed a simple
prayer for him to receive that gift which was the desire of
his heart.
After he finished speaking, leaders prayed an
impartation prayer to transfer their anointings and
giftings to us, and prayed that we would have the giftings that we
sincerely desired.

The Zeal of the Lord of Hosts Shall
Do This
One of the highlights of Pastor Shelley's preaching
was His sharing of an experience he had when flying to New
Zealand last November. I have not had space to share
it with you yet, but now is the time! Here are the
highlights:
I didn’t sleep at all on the first
plane (14 hours) because it was daytime for me most of the way, but
I had a lot of peace.
And for those of you who don’t get blown
away with spiritual things, I kept entering into a place
where everything was all right. And then I would come
back. It was actually
like traveling.
I would go into this place where everything was perfectly all
right and nothing mattered.
It’s a wonderful place.
I hope I can inhabit it one day where nothing
matters.
Out loud, I kept saying, “Grace. Grace.” I’ve never
experienced grace like this. And the next thing I know, I
noticed the clock and how long we’d been in the air. But never one time did the
thought even cross my mind, “I wish this would hurry up and be
over.”
Now that’s the Lord. I haven’t had grace
like that for traveling in a long time -maybe
never.
So I got off the plane in Seoul
and had a two-hour layover. Then I got on the next plane
for a 12-hour flight from Seoul to Auckland, and the
same grace came.
I entertained myself with different little things, and when I
would get tired of that, I’d put them away and then I would
enter into that place. And never one time did I
think, “I wish this would hurry up and be
over.”
Physically I was sitting in
the airplane, but spiritually I went
into this place behind the Veil. I felt it when it
brushed against my cheek as I went into this place. I’m not sure I’ve ever been
there before. To be
honest with you, I’m not sure I’ve ever known that amount of peace
and grace - no warfare, no resistance, no dread, no fear, no
pain.
My doctor told me not to go
because I was being treated for pleurisy, an inflammation of
the lungs. But I had no
pain in that place.
All the pain was gone.
And while I was spiritually in that place, I got up to
stretch to see if I could make myself hurt and I couldn't. I knew that my
spirit had gone into a place where my physical body was having to
respond in like
manner.
Now won’t that be
great? Because our
spirits are going to be perfected first. The perfection that’s coming
to the Body of Christ will start in our spirit man and flow
out through the soul, and then the body follows. The body has to follow. Isn’t that good news that
your flesh has to follow your spirit
man?
So while I was in
that place, I heard the Lord say, “I am
releasing a new zeal in the land.”
And when I heard
that, my spirit responded, “New Zealand. New
Zea-land.” And
I knew it was a Word from the Lord for those people. But I immediately
felt like it was for us too, because there the sun rises
first, but we catch the same
sun.
And so I said,
“Lord, where is the Word?” And He spoke,
"2 Kings 19:29-31."
And I got out my
Bible, and look what I found.
I’ve never preached from this verse of Scripture in my life
that I know of.
(2Ki 19:29) And this
shall
be a
sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of
themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same;
and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat
the fruits thereof.
(2Ki 19:30) And the remnant that is escaped of
the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear
fruit upward.
(2Ki 19:31) For out of Jerusalem shall go forth
a remnant (a band of survivors), and they
that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD
of hosts shall do
this.
Had I not had the verse, I
would have probably preached that God was going to stir up a new
zeal in the people, that the people would have a new zeal
to fight for the Lord, to go on for the Lord. That is
certainly another dimension or aspect of this Word, but far short of what the Lord was
really saying.
And He
said, “I’m not releasing a new zeal for
the people to carry, for them to have a new
zeal.” Although I am sure that
when this happens, the other will follow. He said, “The zeal of the Lord of Hosts, the divine jealousy of the Lord of hosts, shall
perform this."
If He is going to release the zeal of the
Lord of hosts, if He is divinely passionate for anybody, who would
it be? His
Bride, the Bride of Christ, those who are making themselves
ready, the Lamb’s
Wife.
He is Lord of all lords, King of all
kings. So
really, technically, by revelation, He not only is over the armies
of heaven, but He is also Lord over the armies of
hell. So,
ultimately He may allow the enemy to do some things, but ultimately
at the end of this show, He is even Lord over the armies and the
hordes of hell.
And listen! The zeal of the preacher is
not going to accomplish this.
The zeal of the worship leader is not going to be able to do
this. The zeal of the
man who convenes the conference or comes to speak is not going to be
able to do
this.
It will be the zeal of
the Lord of hosts that will accomplish this.
Unbelievable
change takes place when the zeal of the Lord of Hosts is
released.
The Lord is saying that
those who have suffered and been through a lot are
the ones He is pulling together. There is a band of survivors today
that have been standing on Mount Zion and they shall know the zeal of the Lord of
Hosts.
Revelations of the Open

Closing
It has been such a blessing to be here in Alabama with
my close family of strong believers praying for me and standing with
me in faith!
And I am so very grateful for your prayers for
me! I am feeling basically well,
but have quite a bit of coughing.
Please keep praying!
I was so blessed by a prophetic Word
to me through Pastor Shelley on March 22nd:
I heard the Lord say, “I
am not through with you.”
I heard the Lord
say, “Your voice is needed in
Zion.”
I heard the Lord say, that
He’s going to give you the strength to release
His Word in song and prophetic declaration once again over
Jerusalem.
I hear the Lord saying, He will anoint you and give you Words, and it
may be alone as it has been at times in the
past.
But the Lord said He would
give you strategy for Zion. There’s a new chapter in the book that God is
unfolding.
Hallelujah.
There’s a new chapter that’s being unfolded in this
hour. And you’ll sing a
new song in Zion.
The Lord said, “I
will give you a new song to sing over
Zion.”
Hallelujah!!
I plan to return to Jerusalem on April
16th. We still have a little more to
pay to the person who loaned us money for our rent from
last quarter as well as some bills to pay. Rent for the next
quarter is due May 15th.
God has been so faithful to use you to help us
meet our expenses! Thank you so very much!
Perhaps the Lord is nudging you to help
us again now or for the first time. We would
be so, so grateful!
(2Ki 19:31) For out of Jerusalem shall go forth
a remnant (a band of survivors), and they
that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD
of hosts shall do
this.
May we see the evidence of the zeal, the divine
jealousy, of the Lord of hosts working on our behalf to
bring His Word to pass in our lives!
Have a blessed Passover this week (beginning the
evening of April 8th), celebrating your freedom in Adonai Yeshua
HaMashiach!
Blessings, Grace and
Shalom from Alabama!
