Lighthouses of Oregon
State Prophecy
Manifest your Destiny, Oregon! For you have the spirit of freedom, the spirit of independence, the spirit of adventure! For your people are as diverse as your landscapes. They possess that unique gift of a pioneer spirit that desires expansion and movement! American Progress is more than a painting to you, it is a sign of your destiny as Columbia leads you to explore new horizons and new possibilities. You do not limit yourself. Your desire to bring freedom and justice are in your heart. Just as the Columbia was the first popular and poetic name for the United States, you Oregon have a governmental connection with Washington D.C. the District of Columbia and with Texas, the Lone Star State. It was in 2003 that the Columbia Space Shuttle, a symbol of adventure in space and progress exploded and disintegrated over Texas. Is it not time to raise the standard of America again and return to the spirit of our forefathers? To return to the morals that made our country great? Near the Columbia River lies the land of Goshen, the Willamette Valley, one of the most productive agricultural area of the world! Do you not have a place in your heart, o Oregon for the poor and needy? For many, the United States has been the Land of Goshen, a Land of Promise where anything can be achieved that you dream. The Snake River also runs through you, just like that old Serpent himself trying to bring deception and keep you from manifesting your destiny. Your unique even in the flag you wave, bearing two sides as no other state. Even your motto She flies with her own wings shows your independent spirit. You are a builder like the beaver, your state animal, making new ecosystems for others to dwell and conserving energy. This Pacific Wonderland with its Pacific Ocean and Cascade Mountains will be shaken by God who loves you righteously judging the principalities and evil ruling above you. The Pacific Ring of Fire will cause your independent spirit to bow so that you will acknowledge that we are truly one nation, under God that must work together. Then you will find true freedom and healing. We Love Dreamers will be sung from her shore to the Willamette Valley to the Cascade Mountains as destinies come forth that needed your encouragement. God says, Things Look Different Here, because you give dreamers a chance to bring life to their dreams, their art, their writings, their inventions, their aspirations! For your state was birthed on Valentines Day, 1859, the 33rd state in the Union! A state that loves others unconditionally. You have embraced the different, the rejected, the strange, so that the Lord can bring revival to those searching for the Land of Promise, heaven on earth! God will bring the tsunami of His love, for in you He has found the needles in the haystack–like an arrow pointing upwards to heaven! Klamath Falls will be linked to My river. Come South wind! Blow strong! Cause your fish (the harvest) to flow upstream carrying the Chinook Salmon even further. For even your fish are independent and strong! For you will send missionaries to the North, even to Canada, where the fishing will be great! And the tears of your falls are not tears of grief or penance for sickness, but are meant for My healing and compassion. For I love the Indian says the Lord and desire to bring healing to the hearts of the Native Americans who are so spiritually sensitive. Is it not My voice that thunders from Thunderegg State Rock splitting the geodes and showing the hidden secrets of the earth? The beauty, the patterns of My glory? For even your gemstone, the Oregon Sunstone shows forth My faithfulness and represents My Light. You will be like a sweet fragrance from the Marion blackberries, like myrrh to comfort those who are wounded and to heal the brokenhearted. Your prayers will rise like sweet incense before Me and I will hear and receive and accept you says the Lord. I would seal you with the prophetic voices joined to Mine and become Your shield, bringing you ships from afar to trade with you for My secrets and you would carry to Me your sheaves of harvest, and plows to prepare the soil for more harvest. For there is great harvest in Oregon, and it is time for those seeking Me to find Me as they look up at the blue skies and watch the birds that soar so high. I would have you soar in the heavens with Me also and rise above the earth below. For just as the Oregon Hairy Triton represents half man and half fish, what I desire you to embrace is how man can have My divine nature and become true giants in faith, dreaming big dreams becoming as one with Me through the blood of My Son, Jesus Christ. For your Douglas Firs are popular Christmas trees, and your state flower, the Oregon grape has holly leaves,reminding people all over the nation of when My Son was born! For I bring to Salem My peace through My Son. I bring to Portland an open portal to My heaven to see My glory and the angels that gather for the harvest that is ripening. I bring to Albany the prophets and those who seek My face, standing in the gap for the Northwest, and becoming a storehouse for the harvest to be trained and equipped. Let your navy blue and Gold stars remind you of My Son who died in His 33rd year so you could go to My heaven with blue skies and walk on streets of Gold. You shall see my signs of gold dust, gems, and diamonds. You shall see My unique pioneers again, trail blazing across you, on a mission to promote true freedom that comes from knowing Me. And this spirit will be hailed again as Hail Columbia, a time of greatness for My America, and the people who call themselves by My Name! Manifest your Destiny, O Oregon! by Rhonda Harkins 7/31/07
