Report - UNITE FOR DOMINION, CALGARY, JANUARY 27-30, 2011
The conference opened to a full house on Thursday night with the atmosphere charged with the presence of the Lord as the praise team, led by Ryan and Elissa Caldwell, sang “I am a friend of God”. Immediately a prophetic atmosphere opened and declarations came forth about new levels of intimacy that are freely available to those who enter in. This prophetic atmosphere continued throughout the conference, with every word representing an open door into the new season.
Throughout the conference, we shared how the number 11 represents transition in scripture and that 2011 is a transition year into 2012, a season of greater kingdom authority. Many testified to seeing the number 11 or 11.11 repeatedly over the past year, emphasizing the importance of this year of 11. Some of the scriptures that we felt related to this phenomenon were Hebrews 11:11, Isaiah 11:11, and Proverbs 11:11 to name a few.
We shared how Genesis 26 is a template for the conference and for the nation in the coming year. The chapter begins with a famine and an assignment to Isaac to stay in the land. He obeys and prospers greatly which then moves him to re-digging the wells of his father Abraham. However, we felt the emphasis was on the third well that Isaac dug, a new well, and we felt that we were prophesying a new well specifically for the City of Calgary and a new well for our nation. This prophetic word was addressed again and again throughout the conference. We also felt that individuals and ministries would be receiving new assignments in the coming year.
One word that was dealt with in a significant way had to do with recovery and breaking the power of a withholding spirit that has affected many people and many kingdom minded businesses. An unusual breakthrough took place on Saturday evening during the praise and worship that began with the scripture from Amos 3:7,8 “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?” The conference erupted into an extended roar which we felt was directed against the withholding spirit and that individuals, ministries, and kingdom businesses were now empowered to recover what had been taken.
The messages dealt with subjects such as the administration of justice on situations such as the trafficking of children, new levels of praise and worship that release higher authority, and kingdom authority for the coming season.
One word dealt with recovery of the prophetic voice to the nation once again. This word also extended to Dick and Joan, that a great and effectual door in media would open to them in 2011.
Many who had attended numerous previous Dominion conferences stated that this conference was at a much higher level and more anointed than the rest.

Opening a new well
January 9, 2011
Update #3
UNITE FOR DOMINION, CALGARY, JANUARY 27-30, 2011
Perhaps you have noticed the many prophetic ministers that are predicting 2011 as a turbulent year? At the same time, many see the coming year as a time of great Kingdom advancement in many arenas. At present, we are only days into the year, and we are seeing meteorological turmoil, political turmoil and wanton violence such as the killing and wounding of a congresswoman and her staff in Tucson AZ. Many of these events have been described as unprecedented.
It makes me think of the scripture in Isaiah 59:19b, “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” For every destructive situation, the Spirit of God has a greater measure of grace.
For some time I have felt the Lord speaking of opening a new well in our nation. In scripture, a river or a well is often figurative for a greater presence of Holy Spirit (John 7:38), and so a well would be a fresh outpouring of the Spirit. I believe the Toronto Blessing was a new well that brought inner healing and renewal to many thousands in Canada and around the world. Once again, it’s time for Canada to open a new well for the nations.
In Genesis 26, we read how Isaac was compelled by the Philistines to leave their country, and as he leaves, he reopens the wells that were dug by his father Abraham. The first well, the Philistines quarrel with Isaac over it’s possession so he calls it Esek, meaning strife. The next well, the same happens and he calls it Sitnah, which means enmity. He moves to dig a new third well and there is no quarrel from the Philistines so he calls it Rehoboth, which means, “the Lord has made room for us”. Isaac ultimately opened three wells that brought benefit to him and his neighbours.
When we experience difficulty and opposition, it is tempting to go back to the places where God opened a well for us, but this isn’t really what He wants. The opposition is there to move us into opening a new well of His presence and grace. In so doing, we are the answer to the enemy’s plans.
We meet every Monday evening with a faithful group for worship and prayer which we call Tephillah. Lately our prayer has been focused on opening a fresh well in our region and for our nation. We believe the purpose of the Unite for Dominion conference in Calgary this month is to prophetically open a new well for our nation.
It is for this reason I believe this conference on January 27-30 is so important. The coming year may bring it’s challenges, but we also need to see the Spirit of the Lord raise up a standard against the enemy’s plans.
There will be high level worship with a cluster of seasoned prophetic leaders that will release all of us to new levels of spiritual insight. You participation will be vital to the fulfilling the purpose of our gathering.
We look forward to seeing you in Calgary at Unite for Dominion 2011.
