Open Heavens During Meetings in Five Cities

From mid-January to early February, Jill ministered in Lee’s Summit, MO; Minneapolis, MN; West Haven, CT; Cincinnati, OH; West Palm Beach, FL. I feel that the Lord is sending Jill to strategic cities and regions to open the heavens in preparation for revival. Jill delivered powerful, governmental prophetic declarations in each city, not only for opening the gates for the King of Glory to come in, but also for releasing apostolic and prophetic leaders into their destinies. Open heavens with a corporate release of fire and angelic visitation have been common to most of the places she has ministered this year. The favor of the Lord and the manifestation of His Glory is increasing in her ministry.

Eastern Gate - Lee’s Summit (Kansas City), Missouri

Historic prophesies from Bob Jones and others about Lee’s Summit have identified it as an eastern gate to Kansas City through which revival, accompanied by miracles, will come forth. This is a mandate many are carrying in intercession - that the prophetic promises of Kansas City will not die. It is believed that it will be birthed with signs and wonders in the heavens and no man will be able to shut it down this time. Join with us in prayer that it will be a place of open heavens where the glory of the Lord will reside, with angels ascending and descending, and that the dread champions and prophetic seers will come forth.

Jill’s first Master Potter Conference with Todd Bentley in January was tremendous. There was a special grace for healing, miracles, prophetic words and open heavens during the meetings. Jill’s second Master Potter Conference will be with Jim Goll, Steve Carpenter, and Jill on May 2-5th in Lee’s Summit at Christ Triumphant Church once again. The following are wonderful heart-warming reports on the January conference with Todd and Jill.

Heaven Touched Earth

Tracy Ruleman, who helped to lead the intercession for the conference reported, “The first three days Todd Bentley taught and ministered. He moved with a powerful healing anointing and we witnessed the Lord heal blind eyes, deaf ears, and an assortment of other physical ailments. A man, paralyzed on his left side and confined to a wheelchair as a result of a brain tumor, rose up and walked into the meeting. It was grand!”

Tracy continued, “Each night Jill spoke, the atmosphere was charged with the presence of God. She gave prophetic words to people with amazing accuracy and delivered it with the fire of God. Destiny, calling, and purpose were ignited in the people as they encountered the fiery passion of God's love for them.”

“The last night of the conference was truly stunning,” Tracy shared. “The heavens opened wide and the glory of God filled the room. Heaven touched earth!! The whole room was engaged, from the front rows to the very back corners, and the room was alive with the atmosphere of heaven. People were caught in swirls of angelic activity. It was glorious ... it was life ... it was home!”

Cheryl Black, who also attended the conference, wrote the following, “Todd ministered three nights and Jill continued to minister for the remaining three nights. She called out words of knowledge for healing and people continued to come forward and be touched. One woman with chronic back pain from a car accident said she could feel ‘the pain release during worship.’ Another with chronic kidney disease said he ‘felt warmth’ as he received prayer. A man who cut his hand with a power saw said he felt the ‘pain lifting off.’ Many received prayer and healing. God is bringing about the signs and wonders we long to see. The miracles that we saw in Jesus’ ministry are for today. We long for them.”

Prophetic Conference in the Twin Cities

The twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are apostolic. There is tremendous unity and prayer with the leaders and churches. Jill ministered at a regional apostolic/prophetic conference. There were people from a variety of backgrounds including Catholic, Lutheran, and Pentecostal. Many of them experienced the Manifest Presence of the Holy Spirit during Jill’s meetings for the first time. Tremendous hunger for more of the Lord was released. Jill gave several significant prophetic words to key leaders in the city.

Regional Eastern Gate - West Haven, CT

Jill ministered at Gateway Christian Fellowship where they hosted a ‘Month of Glory’ meetings during January. West Haven, a port city, is a significant gate for the Northeast. Jill ministered during the last weekend. The heavens opened and the heavy weight of the Lord’s presence came throughout the weekend. The pressing in for more of the Lord was astounding. Powerful prophetic words, physical healings, angelic activity and open heavens came forth.

Regional Prophetic Conference - Cincinnati, OH

In Cincinnati, Jill ministered with Jim Goll and Ray Hughes at a regional prophetic conference. New dimensions of apostolic and prophetic revelation were released into the region. On the final night, Jill got up to speak and greeted the people. Suddenly, the sovereign hand of the Lord began to dance throughout the entire room. Some people were laughing; others were sliding out of their chairs. Entire rows of people fell as they encountered waves of God’s presence.

Several young people in one corner of the room were having an encounter with God. Jill called them up to the front. Without any prompting, many other young people began to stream forward from all over the room. Suddenly the atmosphere in the room changed. The weighty presence of the Lord filled the room. Many of the young people began to weep and groan as their hearts were gripped with a burden for their generation.

A Southeastern Gate – West Palm Beach, FL

The fifth city, West Palm Beach, as many of you know, is a very strategic gate not only for Florida, but also for the nation. It became an internationally renowned city during our presidential election and more recently as the 9-11 terrorists operated out of this city. Not only is West Palm Beach connected to Washington, D.C., but is tied to New York City since many Jewish people travel back and forth between the two cities.

Jill ministered with Jon Hamill at a gate church in Palm Beach Gardens. During the first night of the conference, Jill declared the opening up of the gates for the King of Glory to come in from Psalm 24. Her catalytic anointing released the fire of God in the room (prior to the meeting an intercessor saw a huge ball of fire hit the ground, causing an explosion). The heavens opened and many began having deep encounters with God.

Angelic Visitations

The host pastor saw a line of angels with swords. The first angel said they would come into the city if they were welcomed. The whole room was electric with the presence of the Lord. He then began to roll on the floor and shake as he encountered an angel. Later he described how this angel took his hand and brought him into the third heavens. He then saw a ‘myriad of men and angels worshipping the Lamb’. The Holy Spirit broke in with tremendous power for visitation, healing and re-commitment to the Lord's cause.

Prayer Shield – Special Announcement

The Passing of the Intercession Baton

Our dear friend, Tracy Ruleman, who has been heading up the Master Potter Prayer Shield announces, “I have felt for the past few months that Jill's Prayer Shield should be administrated by someone living in the Kansas City area. Living in Washington, D.C. has not allowed me to know what is happening with Jill and Master Potter on a daily basis. I have felt that it is vitally important at this crucial time when the ministry is evolving and growing. I have been praying, and have asked others to pray, that God would raise up someone of His choosing. HE HAS DONE SO!! Please welcome Wendy Braat to Master Potter Ministries.”

Wendy Braat – Our New Prayer Shield Coordinator for Master Potter

Wendy recently moved from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Kansas City to attend the Forerunner School of Prayer where Jill has been teaching a class. Wendy has been helping Linda in the office for several months now and has traveled with Jill on many occasions. Already she has become a close friend to Jill and Linda and will be a valuable asset to the prayer ministry. Thank you, Jesus, for hand-picking the right person for this important position!

God is also enlarging my borders here in Washington, D.C. My husband and I continue to lead a fiery group of prophetic intercessors at our meetings called "The Gate". I have been asked to coordinate prayer efforts for the Strategic Prayer Network in the Northwest quadrant of the district. I will still remain an intercessor for Master Potter Ministries, traveling with Jill when I am able to, and working with and teaching the intercessors before her meetings.

Prayer Requests

• 1. Many ministry requests are coming into the office for Jill. Please pray that Jill, Linda and Wendy will know which engagements to accept. We are asking God for the strategic Macedonian calls and the timing of when to come and go.
• 2. Pray for strength for Jill physically, especially for her knees.
• 3. Pray for the Prayer Shield and the newsletter administration sections to be programmed on the website.
• 4. Pray for the book, which is in the hands of several possible publishers who are excited about it. Pray for the best contract, the widest circulation, and that the publishing house will really get behind it and put the book into the secular marketplace.

The Lord has Blessed us with a Camera and Color Printer!

Through the generosity of ministry friends, we have been able to purchase a color printer and a video camera! This is a tremendous blessing to us and we want to thank you for sharing what God has given you so we can fly with excellence!!!!

The color printer has already allowed us to have twelve new beautiful teaching tape cover albums designed by Jason and Trish Boyer of Canaan Studios. We will have these new tape album covers displayed on our website soon.

Our new video camera will be used to document the move of Holy Spirit while we minister on the road and we’ll also use it with students in the prophetic classes I teach at The Forerunner School of Prayer.
