Mount Hood is Oregon's Volcano Most Likely to Erupt
Recently, God dropped the Pacific Northwest (including Alaska) into my spirit. I began contemplating the numerous volcanoes that dot the mountain ranges there. Then it clicked. It was as if the Holy Spirit was showing me just a small glimpse into the dynamics of the Church in that region.
It would be easy to parallel the power held within a volcano as that meant for destruction, but I believe this is more in correlation with the potential of the power of God in individual churches, communities, and cities.
So when I mention volcanoes, I believe you could replace that word with any appropriate city, church, or even individual.
The Ring of Fire
The Pacific Northwest is part of a geological circle known as the Ring of Fire, where many active volcanoes are located. I believe this name to be prophetic nature for the region. The fire of the Holy Spirit is just awaiting to be loosed, much like Jeremiah prophesied that the Word of the Lord was like fire shut up in his bones (Jeremiah 20:9).
At one time, there was no doubt that these mountains were alive, releasing molten rock and changing the landscape around them. But now, years after their initial “eruptions,” these mountains lie dormant, or asleep, iced over and covered in snow; their mouths are now shut and closed off.
Rumbles of Revival
Even though these volcanoes may look asleep, they are very much alive on the inside. Once the pressure reaches a certain level, the mountain will then explode to action, shaking and quaking everything around it.
There have been major eruptions, or revivals if you will, in these mountains. Consider Mt. St. Helens and most recently Mt. Redoubt (whose name suggests another prophetic message all in itself). Let us not “doubt again” the power of the Holy Spirit and His capabilities in this region.
What Does This Mean?
Churches and individuals in the Pacific Northwest have great potential to move in the power of God in these days. It is time now to pray for visitation, just as God did with Mt. Sinai, whose mountain probably looked very much like a volcano. The clouds of glory and the flames of the Holy Spirit can manifest once again with signs and wonders following those who believe. There is such a hunger for the things of God, and this region is ripe for the harvest!
As everything that can be shaken will be shaken, it is a great opportunity for the Church in the Northwest to manifest in power and display the glory of the Lord in a new and powerful way.

Alan,
Thanks for this! I live in Spokane, WA which is smack dab in the middle of the Pacific Northwest. We have had words for YEARS about most of what you posted. It is heating up! If you get anything else, please let me know!

Might you also see this running up into Alaska (Mt. REDOUBT)?…Or it might be running down from Alaska?

I love how you talk about Mt Redoubt as if it were a sign
from God. You should pray for us for it could very well
be a sign of judgment.
Revival to me is synonymous with I want to eat like a
pig, go home and bask in my glory.
Perhaps we should rethink of how we approach God
We must search are motives. Is what I am doing going
to please or advance my own interests, or am I devoted
and am willing to die for my love for Jesus Christ.
I love the prophetic however are we more interested in
propagating our own agenda, or are we truly ready to
become the very mouth piece of God Himself keeping
in mind that most of the prophets, and all of the Apostles with the exception of one were murdered.
Is your faith in Christ hold weight to the cannon of scripture?
Would you rather argue and belittle ( to murder) than to
admit that you are wrong?
Is Jesus Christ and him alone the most important GOD in
your life? are there other gods in your life?
If you had the opportunity to either be healed of terminal
cancer, or to have the opportunity to lead someone to
Christ, which would you choose?
Do you believe that Jesus Christ came in the flesh ( that he
is God, that he died on the cross for our sins and rose again from the dead thus destroying the power of Lucifer making it possible to spend eternity in heaven and that every other thing in its entirety that the Bible teaches
about Jesus Christ is true? Are you a believer?
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Solomon with all his vast wealth said in the end
Vanity of vanities all is vanity.
Some things to consider. People come to the alter all the
time but having an experience with God is different than
having a relationship with him.
I dont want band aids I want the blood of Christ to cleanse
my church and my community from the sins of this world
and to be clothed like a virgin so that when Christ comes
again I will be ready, knowing that my sins are forgiven and
I am making myself ready to become his Bride, That we
the Church can be one in Christ.
May the Holy Ghost have favor with the thoughts of our heart
knowing as I type these words they will be tried with…FIRE!
God Bless
