Prophetic Encounter of Shelley Hundley
International House of Prayer - Kansas City
On September 29th, 2002. I was in my room praying at around 7:00 Sunday night when I was gripped by the presence of the
Lord and a vision.
[This vision returned gripping me over and over again throughout this visitation with the Lord]
RECURRING ‘TURN’ VISION:
I see myself on an enormous cruise liner boat. There was no one else on the deck (top) with me. I was the only one
standing there. Its heading right into a massive storm/whirlwind/hurricane. I dive out into the stormy water and swim
towards the front and I am trying to turn the entire boat myself, I am yelling TURN, TURN, TURN! I felt so small but the
labor was upon me.
A spirit of preaching and intercession came on me. I started shouting “Turn” to IHOP and preaching, “If you do not feel
yourself rebelling and resisting the general flow of the direction YOU and others around you have taken then you are
not following the Lord. If you desire to be on the right side of the Judge TURN! IF you are not causing others around
you to change/alter their direction…you are not a forerunner. FOR THIS IS THE CALL! The job of our house this: to
ourselves turn, then our city, nation, western church, nations….CAUSE THEM TO TURN. Are you standing in the
counsels of the Lord? Have you turned? Are people turning around you?”. I went from preaching to intercession
all there in my room related to the House of Prayer.
2 Kings 17:13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His prophets, every seer, saying,
"Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded
your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets."
>Jer 23:14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem: They commit adultery and walk in lies; They
also strengthen the hands of evildoers, So that no one turns back from his wickedness. All of them are like Sodom to
Me, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
>Jer 23:22 But if they had stood in My counsel, And had caused My people to hear My words, Then they would have
turned them from their evil way And from the evil of their doings.
VISION OF TWO TORCHES:
I immediately saw the Lord. Fire was all around Him and He Himself was a flame of fire. He was the Angel of the Lord.
Lightning shot out of His face and eyes. Out of His mouth came a sword of light. Lightning was flashing everywhere.
He was carrying two burning torches one in each hand. Lightning was flashing everywhere and I hit the ground and
started screaming. Then He shouted at me,
STAND AND DELIVER!
Give THIS to the people!
(as if in response to a request like ‘the people wanted something from God, well give this to them) As He said this He
thrust the two torches inside of me. One was the First commandment and the other was the Fear of the Lord.
They seem a little foreign don’t they?
Yes, like two foreigners in the land
(because they are virtually non-existent)
Without these
(in every division of FOTB: school, prophecy, conferences etc)
you WILL be just like the rest and I will turn my face against you
>>Ezek 14:6-9 Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations. 7 For anyone
of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his
heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, then comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning
Me, I the LORD will answer him by Myself. 8 I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, and
I will cut him off from the midst of My people. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.
I understood the simplicity and harshness of what He was saying. Its not too mysterious (Deut 30) we either have these
two (fear and love) shining or not. If we do then He is with us, if we do not than He is against us. Its not a question of
salvation but instead it is a question of His activity as the Judge: partnering with Him or being broken by Him. If we have
these two lamps we are on His team if we do not we become exactly like the other religious systems in this nation that
He is fighting against. The current is heading for destruction…turn!)
break down your walls
>Ezek 13:9-16
9 My hand will be against the prophets who envision futility and who divine lies; they shall not be in the assembly of My
people, nor be written in the record of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel. Then you shall
know that I am the Lord GOD. 10 Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, 'Peace!' when there
is no peace--and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered mortar-- 11 say to those who plaster it with
untempered mortar, that it will fall. There will be flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind
shall tear it down. 12 Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, 'Where is the mortar with which you
plastered it?' " 13 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there
shall be a flooding rain in My anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it. 14 So I will break down the wall you have
plastered with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered; it will fall,
and you shall be consumed in the midst of it. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. 15 Thus will I accomplish My wrath
on the wall and on those who have plastered it with untempered mortar; and I will say to you, 'The wall is no more, nor
those who plastered it, 16 that is, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of
peace for her when there is no peace,' " says the Lord GOD.
and shatter the fruit of your labors.
>Ex 23:16-17 the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from
the field.
>Deut 28:14-15,33
14 So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to
go after other gods to serve them. 15 "But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God,
to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today,33 A nation whom you have
not known shall eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labor, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed
continually.
GO AHEAD, be like the rest…if you desire.
I cried and said,
Oh NO God, this is not our desire! We desire you O God!
Oh look upon this house with mercy!
RELATED TO THE FEAR OF THE LORD:
WHEN will you realize with one heart and one mind,
That you are living in the land of my judgment?!?
I have set my face against this nation and
I WILL NOT RELENT!!!!
>Jer 4:28 Because I have spoken I have purposed and will not relent, Nor will I turn back from it.
>Ezek 24:14 It shall come to pass, and I will do it;I will not hold back, Nor will I spare, Nor will I relent;
>Ezek 12:28 Thus says the Lord God; None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will
be done
I changed the atmosphere on September 11th…DOES ANY ONE FEEL IT?
DOES ANY ONE PERCEIVE IT?
>Jer 23:18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, And has perceived and heard His word? Who has marked
His word and heard it?
>Acts 27:10 saying, "Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship,
but also our lives."
>Isa 6:9 And He said, "Go, and tell this people: Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not
perceive.'
BEHOLD, I SET BEFORE YOU THIS DAY
> Deut 30 See, I have set before you life and death…choose life…love the Lord your God, obey His voice, cling to Him!
>Deut 30:15/Deut 11:26-29 See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil…in that I command you
today to love the Lord your God…Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if you obey
the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today; 28 and the curse, if you do not obey the
commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other
gods which you have not known.
>Jer 21:8 "Now you shall say to this people, 'Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I set before you the way of life and the
way of death
BEHOLD, I have made known to you my desire
(accountability…we have heard, we should know better)
NOW WILL YOU KEEP MY WORD?
*I believe that the Lord was speaking of our calling to Deut 30. Our calling to the One Thing that He has already
made His desire known to us meaning He has already formed us. We know the DNA that He has called us to have.
Will we keep His word?
>2 Chron 34:21 "Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words
of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not
kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book."
Will I find you burning with the fire of faith: love and trembling?
>Luke 18:7-8 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with
them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith
on the earth?"
RECURRING “TURN” VISION AGAIN:
I went back into the gripping the “turn” vision again and I began to understand that our House’s commission is to
“TURN” the people. The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart as I was caught up in the vision, Shelley, the true voices will
labor to TURN the people, change the direction!
This is how you measure success in your life, have you turned? Have you turned others?
The voice of the Lord came strongly again as I was weeping and groaning on the ground.
IF they had stood in my counsel,
and had caused My people to hear My words,
THEN they would have TURNED the people!
Directly quoted from Jer 23:18-20,22
For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, And has perceived and heard His word? Who has marked His word
and heard it? 19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD has gone forth in fury--A violent whirlwind!It will fall violently on the
head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the
latter days you will understand it perfectly 22 But if they had stood in My counsel, And had caused My people to hear
My words, Then they would have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their doings.
RELATED TO FIRST COMMANDMENT:
Then I felt the presence of the Lord change and I was able to look up from the floor where I was laying prostrate.
He was weeping and He had His hand extended. I felt His meekness and His mercy.
Come to me oh weak ones
Come…come to me…I will gather you up,
>Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. NKJV
>Matt 23:37-38 How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,
but you were not willing!
I will teach you.
You deny my power to transform you by your
Undue/unrelenting focus on your weakness.
Oh come!
I can make you just like me, you can be changed,
Your wounds ARE NOT incurable!
>Jer 15:18 Why is my pain perpetual And my wound incurable, Which refuses to be healed? Will You surely be to
me like an unreliable stream,
As waters that fail?(I think Jesus quoted this passage because He was correcting this type of attitude in the prophetic.
This verse comes from what is referred to as the ‘complaints of Jeremiah’ and the Lord corrects him for it)
I am the Lord (2x)
He said this with so much meekness!
VISION #1
I saw our IHOP staff. He was standing at the front of the prayer room saying,
WHO WILL STAND AND BE NUMBERED WITH THE RIGHTEOUS?
I knew that it was not enough to be counted among IHOP staff. Within our midst (the dedicated prayer types) stand
and make yourself known to the Lord.
Do you desire to be changed?
>Proverbs 2 :1-5cry out, lift up your voice…find the knowledge of God
Jesus handed out new ID cards to all those who stood. It was a new identity that they were receiving.
>Mal 3:16-17 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them;
So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.
"They shall be Mine," says the LORD of hosts,
"On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him."
>while giving this word to IHOP on Tuesday when I got to this part in the visitation, the Lord showed me that these
people were closet forerunners that needed to come forth and that I was the #1 guilty one in this area. It was at this
point in sharing the word that I began to weep and cry out “I turn, I turn, for I have known that this is the hour of His
judgment yet I have remained silent. I will not be silent any more! I do not care about the cost in my personal
relationships I repent for not living out of what I know to be true and for hiding the fact that He has gripped me.
Its not just about Mike proclaiming the forerunner message and us agreeing in hiding, I AM COMING OUT OF
THE CLOSET AS A FORERUNNER FROM THIS DAY FORTH! I know what I was created for and I know what time
it is and I will stand, I will turn. I repent to this house for my silence and for trying to tone down the reality of who I
am before the Lord and for acting like I am not gripped when I AM GRIPPED! I AM UNDONE! I know full well that I
am the weakest one in this house, but I am drawing a line in the sand today that I am taking my place with Mike as
one who is called to TURN the people! I will not sit back and watch Him be a voice of this message while I remain
in the closet hiding. I am asking all those who will hear to TURN with me. No matter what the cost to your personal
relationships or what you see as your weakness and disqualification, you know who you are and you know what time
it is. TURN! TURN! TURN! And TURN THE PEOPLE! JUDGMENT IS COMING!”
[RECURRING “TURN” VISION]
VISION #2
Jesus at a board meeting, smiling he turns the tables over. People shifting from position. People in hiding being
called out. Jesus pointed to new plans, picked people up and set them in chairs.
VISION #3
I saw perfume being poured out over our entire house. I knew that it was the Spirit of devotion being poured out on
the staff. It was perfume that was fragrant but it was also lighter fluid, highly flammable and ignitable. It drenched the staff.
VISION #4
I saw the Lord pull the floor out from under us, we became a supernatural people. I knew this was the release of signs
and wonders. The Lord said,
Now, do you believe in signs and wonders?
This was the end of the encounter.
*I pray that each of you reading this would increase in the Fear of the Lord and the Love of God. I also pray that God
would raise up a company of prophetic messengers whose words would turn people away from sin and back to the love
of God. I pray that we would be content to speak the simple and biblical words that turn people to God while we live
out the Sermon on the Mount values under the prophetic anointing and seek to prepare the earth for His coming!
God bless you, Shelley Hundley
