During our Sunday worship on Feb 23, 2014 the Lord spoke to me twice regarding our church; when Esther Ilnisky asked Pastor Petri what he was feeling,  and then what the Lord was speaking to him. The first time was about mid-service when all the children and youth were gathered by the altar sitting on the floor and we had just finished singing “Jesus Loves Me” and Ms. Ilnisky asked Pastor Petri that what are you feeling right now and the Lord spoke to me that “there is an unprecedented bond of unity among the generations that is being formed in this church today”.

I felt this as a strong prophetic word but then at the end of the service when Mrs. Ilnisky was wrapping things up she asked Pastor Petri again that what is the Lord speaking to you and I got a vision of the church looking like an old train like the one below that was puffing along and there was a feeling of peace and joy, however it wasn’t moving along very fast. The passenger cars were of different colors and shapes representing all the different age groups in the church however the last two carts weren’t actually connected to the train even though they were following along as if still pulled by the train and these represented the kids and the youths/teens.

Old-Time-Train

The Holy Spirit spoke to me that this meant that while the kids and youths were part of the church represented by them being pulled along even though not connected, however they were spiritually not FULLY connected to the church body in prayer. Then God showed me that through uniting the generations in prayer the cars connected with the rest of the train and I saw how the couplings slid into each other and connected locking the cars to the train.

Train-Coupling

Immediately when all the cars were connected to the rest of the train the whole train transformed from this old train of many colors and different shaped cars into a modern bullet train that was of one color and all cars looked the same with armor plating around the train, representing the blood of Christ protecting the church body, and then the train took off at a very high speed.  The Holy Spirit said that the unity that God spoke of to me earlier during the service will drive this church forward at a faster pace than anybody could have imagined before and the armoring on the train further showed that when the church is united in prayer the whole body is protected and nobody except God himself can stop it. I felt that we will go much further as a church with much more power from the Holy Spirit than before driving revival into this area/region. Below is the closest similarity I could find representing the bullet train I saw in the vision except that in the vision the train had armor plating on.
