Note from Bishop Hamon:

Introduction: For several years now, we have sought the Lord for His prophetic word for each New Year. We have several prophets and prophetic saints that submit prophecies each year. Enclosed you will find a summary of what I feel the Lord is speaking to me for 1997. I have also included brief summaries (in outline format)of the prophecies I received from several of the key leaders (most are our Board of Governors). In addition to the summaries of the prophecies enclosed we also received prophecies from several key CI Network Ministers. In order to get the Word of the Lord to as many people as possible, we have chosen to make it available in this new format. Most of the more than 30 prophecies we have received are very similar to each other with the consistent theme of an Open Heaven in 1997. We are making these additional prophecies including all of the details of the outlines of my Word and our Board of Governors available in a text format for $5. You may request a copy of all of these prophecies in detail by calling 904-231-2600. I trust you will find the summary of these enclosed prophecies a blessing to you. God bless!

1997 will be a year of:

Sustaining, bringing together, finding our place, and being established in the Lord.

Working in our root system to bring changes in our hearts.

A great scandal, a great upheaval in our government officials.

Countries come together in alignment as east and west systems start gravitating together.

Jane Hamon

Open Heavens in 1997:

Malachi 3. We read about the benefits of an open heaven, and God’s strategy for us to experience an open heaven.

An abundance of God’s revelation, fresh anointing, and the release of signs, wonders, and miracles!

The Lord is going to pour out a blessing so big we can’t contain it! We as the Church have to position ourselves to receive the pouring out of the Lord.

P- Prayer positions us.

O- Obedience, If we are willing and obedient, we will eat the good of the Land!

U- Unity, Psalms 133, God commands a blessing on unity

R- Responsibility, to whom much is given, much is required.

Bishop Bill Hamon

An Open Heaven in 1997

God is doing a double work of perfection in 1997, by bringing the two major works of the Holy Spirit (the restoration of prophetic ministry and the refreshing of the Lord) to a level of fullness and completion to prepare for apostles to be fully restored. This year’s biblical setting to make application for what the Lord wants to do is Joshua chapters 3 through 5. God is starting to give miracles to the Joshua generation just as He gave miracles to Moses generation. We are going to see God show the world through His power that Jesus and His Church are the mightiest force in the universe. God is going to roll back your Jordan to demonstrate His miracle working power in the earth! There are six major things I believe God wants to do in His Church in 1997:

1. Circumcision of the heart of God’s end-time, Joshua generation army. When circumcision of the heart of all of God’s army is accomplished, then He will make the declaration to us as He made

to Joshua’s army in Joshua chapter 5:2-9. He will remove our reproach (v.9). As you personally obey this word, you will see reproaches rolled away from your life, family and ministry in 1997.

2. The Holy Spirit has been commissioned to cut us free of every weight and sin which has so easily beset us. There will be much shaking and purging so that we can be free in Him! (Heb 12:26-28; Daniel 3:17-30).

3. Once we have eaten the new, the old will no longer do (Josh 5:11-12). In 1988, God began having His Church cross Jordan. Now we must make full transition from wilderness manna to Canaan food. Many are starving and defeated because they have refused to give up manna methods and use Canaan food methods. We are to arise in warfare and destroy the ‘ites of Canaan. There is no other option for those who have crossed over Jordan.

4. The Joshua Generation Leaders must face God personally (Josh.

5:13-15). Those who are leaders in Canaan land must meet Christ face-to-face in 1997. It will bring a new and greater intimacy with Christ! We will receive divine strategies just like Joshua did. We must come to know Jesus as King of kings, Lord of our lives, and Commander of His army in addition to knowing Him as Savior in order to be His leaders in the end-time Army of God!

5. No past generation of the Church has passed this way before (Josh.

3:1-17). No other generation has been challenged to do what we are called to do because we have never functioned with all five-fold ministers actively fulfilling their ministries. We must sanctify ourselves for in 1997, God will do signs and wonders among us like we have never, ever seen before.

6. Recognition, Acceptance and Promotion will come in 1997 (Josh 3:7). This year (1997) God will begin exalting His Joshua generation leaders in the sight of all Israel (the Church). God is assuring this generation of the Church that we can drive out and subdue the "isms" of this world as we co-labor with Christ!

God will continue with the Favor of the Lord as we:

Allow God to deepen our trust in Him

Let God clean our spiritual house

Check our physical well-being to see if the same things are manifesting in our spiritual lives.

Rich Worsham

Key Scripture: Malachi 4:5-6

The full restoration of the Elijah company of Prophets

Prophets to anoint the true fathers in the church and to begin speaking to principalities and powers in high places.

A great call of repentance and return to righteousness as the fire of God falls New revelation given to the Church by the Holy Spirit.

Other places of refuge will come forth to save the lost, and demonstrate God’s power.

Extreme darkness and catastrophic events in Africa, Asia, Middle East

Many American churches will turn outward to their communities and the world

Cindy Jacobs

A year of preparation

A time to examine your life and get it in focus

The fire of revival and harvest will break forth

Prepare yourself and pick up your sickle

Press ahead, don’t be discouraged at the magnitude of the battle

Barbara Yoder

Days of great conquest and great victory

Many have hidden in the caves of Adullum but they will emerge and great victories will be won

These days are for those who fear my name. My house will be known as a house of holiness

But these are days of trouble. Even in the midst of great favor will be difficulty and adversity. We will need a discerning eye.

I will use those in this hour who have allowed me to prepare their hearts

Dr. Kirby Clements

Hope in our hearts because we have prevailed in 1997

Fulfillment and great expectations of God’s promises for 1997

Dr. Jim & Jeanie Davis

Face to face intimacy with Jesus as we sanctify ourselves to meet the Lord (James 4:8)

We will enjoy the defeat of our enemies as never before (James 4:7)

Great signs and wonders among us as we tremble at the Word of the Lord (Ezra 10:3)

Dr. Gary Greenwald

An Open Heaven for saints without leaven

Daily prayer and faithful tithing will be required

An all out attack by the Jezebel spirit against God’s prophetic churches

A Jehu spirit of sanctified, militant warring and intercession will throw down Jezebel

God’s prophetic anointing will increase causing the psychics confusion and embarrassment

The Lord will bring us back to a place to see the great harvest before us (Ez 40:2)
