prophetic community
We are changed by what we listen to....
God is strengthening, encouraging and building up our relationship with Him by teaching us more and more how to hear His voice. That's what the Yorba Linda Vineyard prophetic community is all about - knowing what's on God's heart and sharing it with others. If you want to learn more about the prophetic, come join us on Monday nights at 7:00 p.m. It has been so fun and encouraging, to see and hear how much the Lord loves us.
Our heart is to bless you, so we have listed below some of the most recent words and pictures God has given us. If you would like to know more about this ministry, come and check us out. We meet in the church offices. On the first and third Mondays, we get together to listen and then pray what we hear the Holy Spirit asking us to pray. We call that Prophetic Intercession. We also meet on the second and fourth Mondays, (see info below). If you can't make it to those meetings, and you still want to connect, email Mindy Ogden at .
PROPHETIC CLASS - Our 4 week prophetic class in October was so powerful! We are now meeting twice a month on the second and fourth Mondays of every month to go deeper with the Lord and build up our prophetic community. Here is a taste of what He showed us:
11-10-08 Words…words…and more words…
An explosion of worship in the Tabernacle consuming the praises of His people; sparking revival with intensity, roaring with the very breath of God and sparking ignitors to go forth as bright lights in the kingdom. I speak life to you, a new beginning. I will restore your hope and give you fullness of joy. I am your peace, your Prince, for your heart rests in peaceful adoration in my presence. I will restore beauty for ashes, and we will soar to the heavens together. I smile over you and cover you in gentleness and grace…For you are my love and this is my promise.
There is simplicity in resting quietly with the Lord. He is my Shepherd who leads me safely to green pastures. Oh, what life, what peace is found when my thoughts are upon Him. Oh, what freedom, what protection I have as I rest in the shelter of His Presence.
All my senses are awakened by His presence. The Lord is powerful and mighty…a wonder and mystery; peaceful and still, He is amazing LIFE. He has made us spirit filled and He is incredible.
This rustic gate has been well built and is closed and locked. The gate has strength to keep what is behind it in, or what does not belong in…out. It will open with a key and what is behind it, will then known. I give you the keys to the Kingdom.
Increase your understanding, praise, and prayer for Me. I will increase your understanding, peace, freedom and completeness. Through the Holy Spirit you will feel my presence. You find beauty in solitude. Confirmation is found through all of the above.
I will give a new day filled with freedom, Holy Spirit, beauty, praise, solitude, understanding, presence, prayer, peace, completeness, and confirmation.
Being seen as salt and light, share God’s glory and direction. Be ready, for your end could be near; share the gospel in strength and warmth.
I have put you on a path that will change your life. This path will bring you freedom and comfort. The angels will bring you companionship as you travel. The beauty of My blessings will bring you Peace and you will feel the warmth of my love.
You are my watchman as you intentionally posture yourself to catch the wind of my Spirit. From morning to sunset, I have set you free to flow with Me as you respond to My movement. Your life is deliberately poised to receive from Me.
Softly flowing in the breeze, full of warm sunshine, rooted, but yet movable. Colorful and bright, perfect and peaceful. Uniquely growing free and wild, each one of you - Special.
On a road trip to the Promised Land.
Through hunger you reach up and find the solitude and nourishment you need. As you set yourself apart and above the common things, you can rise above and enter into my freedom. Your movement from there to here is a choice. It’s all relative.
During busy times in life, your direction is often on overload. You are always in a hurry. If you take time to wait on Me, people around you will not go unnoticed. Your destiny is not crowded with buildings and places you have to be. Take time for Me, as I am using you as a light post to many.
Pictures & Words for our church - received from Prophetic class - 10/27/08
I saw a keyhole. I felt that the Lord was saying that He has given many people a key that will open this door. All the keys are different, yet the all fit! Many people will come, each with a key of their own. Each one is needed.
The keyhole is to the door of the Lord's presence - an intimacy in power - a door once opened...no man can shut. I also felt that this would bring a new intimacy to the body and through this - Unity.
I felt that the Lord was setting up a DIRECT TV system in this church and that the activity of the Lord will be released around the world from this place. The connection of things that are going up and down will be revealed by the "why" questions. Eventually the Lord is going to stabilize and BUILD. I encourage you to stand with Christy NOW as it will affect the whole Vineyard church.
I saw a slide - like the kind you see in a playground - but it was in our sanctuary.
"What others intended for evil, I will use for good."
I saw a picture of a giant thick tree that went up into the sky. And then there was a crack in it (like someone had used a metal rod and jammed it into one spot) and the tree split down the middle all the way to the top. Then the tree wilted over into two pieces. But all it took was a little crack for it to split the whole giant strong tree. The Lord said, (before I saw the picture) that "you will no longer have split trees." I also noticed that the tree may have wilted, but the roots were still strong and deep. While it was a lot that fell, you still have something to grow off of.
The Lord wants to woo His people back to Him and He wants to do that through the Yorba Linda Vineyard. The Lord will be able to shine through us, reaching believers and nonbelievers.
I feel that the Lord is saying that He is going to use this church in a new way for healing and prophesying. That the old is to be made new. Young people are going to do miracles and doors are going to open in new realms that the church has never seen before. We are going to carry on a new legacy that will spread like wildfire.
Remember how the mustard seed is the smallest seed but becomes the greatest tree of refuge in the Kingdom of God? YLV is like that seed. It may seem insignificant and vulnerable in some ways, but it is growing into a place of comfort for many.
Streams of Justice will be running through our church; flowing out of the doors. It will cause compassion for the needy to overflow into our community and our neighborhoods. This will bring a spiritual vitality to the region.
I saw a picture of a window halfway open. There was a bar stopping the window from being open all the way. The Lord is saying you have (the church) been receiving just enough, but I want to give you more. I am breaking the bar and the window is going to be fully open. My Spirit is going to come like a mighty rushing wind and all those who have been asking for more will get more than they asked for.
I see a garden with varied types of plants. Do not fear when the Lord comes. For some He will till the soil so that the water of the Spirit will go deep and the roots will be strong. For some He will gently remove the brambles of over growth so that you will be clear. And for some He will protect and allow to absorb the sun/ the water and the wind.
I saw a picture of flashing lights/ white, large ones. They were spinning around like emergency ones but not colored. When I ask the Lord what they meant, I think that He explained that He will use us to rescue the people in crisis, in need...to connect them with whatever they are in desperate need of.
I got the words Church of Compassion (Come Passion). I saw a man who's weak. He has a wooden pole that he's leaning on and now I see someone who doesn't have trouble with this weakness standing by that man on the other side of the pole. The man has someone else to stand with him. (Come passion)
I saw a pillow with someone resting on the pillow. Then I felt the person resting on the pillow represented this body. God's call is to rest in Him. Then I heard this..."I have begun a good work and strings of things are going to happen. One after another to build up, encourage and direct this body. There will be some winds of change in this string. As things happen, trust in Me. Rest in Me (as the one on the pillow) and go with the flow. Your leaders will have the wisdom to protect.
Word received FOR the church on 10-15-08 - I have seen your faithfulness in keeping holy the Sabbath and the purity of the temple for my Spirit to meet with you. There has been no turning or compromise in your covenant with Me.
As you continue together, I will establish your meetings as a House of Praise for the nations, a place of gathering of the tribes, and a source of refreshing for the ones I’ve called.
The communion I offer has been received and is always within you. As you step forward, My Spirit is beside you. This will be confirmed by the light I have put into your eyes. Let others see my presence in you. I will be your courage and your strength.
Words received in church after worship:
10-12-08 - I saw Jesus walking through the aisles in front of all the people. He was dressed in a robe of gold and cream. His hands where dripping with oil the color of gold/yellow, with gold pieces in it. He was looking for peoples’ hands to be in that receiving position and He would place His hands over it while the oil dripped on the peoples’ hands. The oil seemed to be in a container of some kind and the oil seemed divided in color. Half yellow/gold and half clear. I felt like He was commissioning some people to healing but not just healing, but also taking away what they where holding on to. I felt like those were the people to receive the oil.
Jesus said "each drop will heal the wounds of your heart, as you fix your eyes on Me. I will wash away the stains that keep you from seeing Me. I will cleanse you from within so that you may be free to be who I have called you to be. I asked him "Lord how do we do that when things are so uncertain?” The Lord spoke to me and said, " Don’t you know how much I love you? Don’t you know that the cross has set you free from the things of this earth? I am the way the truth and the life. Look to Me, Look at Me, Keep your eyes on Me. Do not take your eyes off of Me, and everything else will wash away. Look to Me and all of the burdens that keep you in fear will be washed away!

The shaking is from Me. I am shaking the Kings and the Kingdoms of this world. You will watch those that man built, fall to the ground around you. But do not fear for I have you planted firmly on my rock, and I am holding on to you. You have place in my Kingdom. You are seated in heavenly places with Me and I will never, ever let you go.
Word in church - 9/21/08 I saw the big giant eye of God I heard the lord say I see everything, I see your yesterdays, I see your todays and I see your tomorrows. I see each one of you,you are special to me. Do you see Me ? Do you see what I want from you ? I WANT YOUR WHOLE HEART!
John 12:24-26 " I tell you the truth, unless a kernal of wheat falls to the ground and dies , it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am my servant also will be
9/14/08 I saw a huge crowd of people...us laying down palm branches and coats to usher in the King. The palm branches represent the fruit of our labor or what we do. The coats represent the things we call "mine." The crowd of people laid both down, giving them up for the King to walk on.
This act represented us giving up what we would call our own identity, our own work, our own accumulated wealth for Him and His glory. It began with Him and we give it back to Him without reservation.
Then I felt that part of what we hold back from Him is not so obvious. We hold on to unforgiveness. Are we willing to forgive the ones that have harmed us and give to Him our hold on them? Are we willing to give Him our hurts and wounds? For Him to heal rather than for us to forever cover them up by a false and selfish (fearful) protection? Are we willing to let down our walls of protection? The false covers that keep us from intimacy with Him and from others? Will we press through to the place He longs for us to go?
Part of the laying down of what we do and what we call mine is on the inside too and not just the outside things that we obviously see. Will the people go to that place? It is right there--a heartbeat and a breath away. He is already right here. Will we respond to His invitation? The invitation is sealed with Jesus’ blood and contains His signature. Redeeming the invitation is made possible by the power of His Spirit--to make the transition into the place He is calling us to go. All His efforts lead us back to Him...point us in his direction. Will we respond?
Word in church 9/07/08 – I saw a bunch of trees. I think that they were a lot like some of us. There were some that were in a summer season and were so dry and thirsty…they just needed to be watered by the Lord. Then there were others who is in a season of fall and had lost everything, all those things around them that had brought security and that they were familiar to them. There were others that were in a season of winter and felt so dead and barren. Then there were others who were in a season of spring and they had new growth in them, but didn’t know how to deal with it. I heard the Lord say that no matter the season, don’t look on the outside of the trees. If you keep the soil of your heart soft, I am growing My roots and your roots deep in me. Life is on the inside.
7/20/08 Today in church, I saw that there are many who are of the “spiritual” tribe of Levi. They have come wearing breastplates like Aaron’s, only the stones that are in their breastplates represent their families, their spouses, their children, their grandchildren, their nieces, their nephews, their aunts, their uncles, their friends and their co-workers. The Lord says that when you come to Him in worship and prayer, He blesses those people through you. “So be encouraged. Continue to walk with them in their burdens, their griefs and their sorrows; and celebrate their joys and their successes. For if you carry them, then I will surely carry you.”
7/13/08 As you walk on a dirt road, you shake the dirt from your sandals and as you do you trip onto a cactus. You stand up and notice you are full of needles. You have a choice, you could try to pull them off yourself that will cause a lot of pain or you could let me take them off. If you let me, the pain will be less, I will make sure to clean the deep infection and you won't even have scars left. But today you must make the choice.
6/23/08 - Last week the Lord gave me a picture of a compass. This week He said "set your hearts to the true north. For I am the true north. On a compass the dial always points to the N. I tell you Set your hearts on Me, I will set your life on the path that I have for you. Open your eyes and look! See where I have placed you. Do you not see? That is Me in the middle of the road. It is not a road block but Me with arms stretched out, ready to receive and embrace you."
6/8/08 I saw a tornado like shape blow from the West to the East. I felt like the Lord said "A Wind tunnel is coming. It is the winds of change. Chairs will be turned over, people will be frightened, lives will change. I will purify hearts. Do not stand against the wind and try and make it through, but go with the wind. Let go of all inhibitions, let go of everything, let go of your beliefs. Know that I am in the midst of this wind, Know that I will make right the wrong's, I will restore you as a people, I will cause all of this and I will bring you through it. Fear not and know that I AM GOD!
5/25/08-
I had a picture of a cargo plane flying over the Orange County area. As I looked closer, I saw that Jesus was flying the plane. I watched as He pulled the switch that opened the hatch in the back and I saw angels dropping boxes of supplies to each church in the area. I saw that the number of the boxes depended on the cries of the people in the church. So I asked the Lord what about the Yorba Linda Vineyard. Then I saw the angels shove out this huge pallet with lots of boxes on it. The pallet had "provisions and resources" written on the side of it. I saw boxes that had gifts for the children on them, boxes labeled tools, boxes full of worship music sheets, boxes full of food, boxes full of body parts, boxes full of money. I saw the Holy Spirit riding on top of the pallet and I heard Him say, I will help you open these. There were so many boxes and the Lord said that there was enough for us, and for everyone else outside of the church. The Lord said that there is an abundance, there is an abundance! I heard the Lord say you won't be able to see the boxes if you are looking down at your present circumstances...so look up because your redemption is drawing near.
April 08- Prophetic Intercession
The Lord begin to show us that So. Cal used to be known for its oranges and orange groves. The land had been full of them and the fragrance of the groves was awesome as well as the sweetness of the oranges. Then the land had been used for other things and the groves were uprooted. We saw that the Lord was beginning to "reseed" So. Cal. He was going to plant it again with purpose because the soil was so ready now. The seeds He was planting were going to grow so very fast - like in a time warp and the trees were going to be so full of blossoms that the fragrance would travel everywhere. We had pictures of people that were so self-protective that the doors and the windows of their houses were locked shut; but the Lord showed us that just like orange blossoms, His fragrance was so awesome that it was going to leak into their houses through tiny cracks in the windows and doors. Then we saw people throw open their doors and windows to receive more fragrance. The trees had deep root systems and the fruit that is being produced in So-Cal will once again go worldwide. The label for the fruit was "Son-kissed".
Word for/at "The Cause"
The Lord is seeking those who will step into His sacred flame...they will be consumed but not burned, they will be engulfed but not harmed. They will be overcome but not injured. With the power of His holy fire they will be sent to testify for Him. They will ignite fires inside of those they encounter simply by their presence. They are bringers of the light into the dark places in the community. The wildfire of the Spirit will spread into the people they come in contact with. The fire of the Lord will cause purity and passion within those who step into the flame. He will give His power to those who will carry His presence into the streets, and then his fire will fall.
