We wanted to let you know how blessed and changed we were by the conference. It was a powerful time for us as many things were being confirmed and lining right up. We enjoyed meeting many sweet sisters in Christ- what a blessing it is to see and experience God's transformation of His daughters. Powerful ministry! and the grace and peace at CTF Raleigh clearly manifested.
God bless you,
Cass, and daughter Josephine, Hawkinson 6/28/2011

Word from Patricia Bootsma 7/7/2011
For myself, before Duncan and Kate announced (at least before I knew) they were going to Raleigh, I was in the hospitality room in Toronto and I received a vision of two cities the Lord was going to powerfully touch. One of them was Raleigh and the other Cleveland. Who happened to be in the room was Steve Witt and also Duncan and Kate. Anyway, I am aware great things are happening now in Cleveland as per Steve Witt's testimony in Redding when I was there several months ago. Regarding Raleigh, there was a mushroom cloud like a good kind of nuclear bomb and it went all over the world.
During worship on the Sunday we were in Raleigh, I felt the Lord remind me of that word and He said that yes, things have already begun in the first CTF church was planted in Raleigh but yet there was much more to that word about to come to pass.
After the service Sunday, a gal came up to me and said she had had the same picture over CTF Raleigh of a mushroom cloud. I asked her to share it with Kate. Then a third gal told me she had a similar picture as well.
I had also felt a big awakening happening in the area - Great Awakening - and I felt it would in particular come through the youth.

Word from Jocelyn Tracey 6/26/2011
I had a dream and in my dream I was in a coffee shop, I knew I was in the heart (exact centre) of Raleigh; I also knew that someone was coming to visit me, however I didn't know whom. A lady came in and sat down across from me.. she said 'I am an angel with a message, CTF in Raleigh will be receiving supernatural acceleration, there have been many promises which the Lord has handed them and they are coming to pass in God's timing ... tell the church to ready their hearts, for their is a wave coming. Let them know that Raleigh does not belong to North Carolina in the heavens, it belongs to CTF; Raleigh.... it is theirs to claim. God's hand is over their church. Finally, tell the youth that they have been chosen.

Word from Ann-Marie Burrell 6/26/2011
I saw a picture of a dirt moat surrounding the church building which was very rocky.
The church was pure white in colour. Which I felt represented the heart of the church. The intimacy the church as a whole, had with the Lord and was of one spirit. I than saw going away from the church was a dirt road leading up a steep hill to a mountaintop. I felt the church had been in a wilderness experience season. On the mountaintop I saw green trees which I felt meant abundance and more provision was coming. In the supernatural and the natural. I saw the church seeing vision far into the distance and getting the big picture . Of what is to come and where its to go.
Further I saw many people of all ages gathering in the church building. A spirit of worship, joy and the Father's love exploded at CTF Raleigh. The building wasn't big enough to contain all the people. Isaiah 61:1-3 came to mind.

Prophetic Word by Ryan Wyatt
(These words were recorded in Spring of 2010 when Ryan visited Catch the Fire Raleigh.)
There is a power of decree that God wants to open up in this region. It’s time for the people of God to hear the plans of God, and it’s time for them to speak, speak, speak, speak, speak and decree!
Elisha saw what God saw and because he saw it he then decreed it and it released the kingdom to fight on his behalf. When you are body of people who are called to be forerunners and are called to birth something you are waging war for the rest of the region. I am not saying you are the only one in the region, but you are forerunners.
It’s one thing to hear something in the spirit that no one else around you would even believe, it’s another thing to realize that you are called to birth it. It’s not enough for you to hear something in the spirit and then not co-labor with God, just because you hear it doesn’t mean you will have it, you’ve got to bring it in.
We can’t expect to birth something if we are not turning aside into the glory realm of God to see what it is that He wants to birth. And we also can’t expect to birth something new living the same way we have last season. Forerunners are ones that are called to sacrifice. You want to be a forerunner of something in this region? Get ready for sacrifice. Get ready for laying your life down for something that is much bigger than yourself or your own individual personal calling or destiny. If you are called to be a part of the move of God in this region, and you are called to forerun something, you are going to be laying your life down for it. But you need to know that your individual calling, and destiny, and purpose is found in the greater calling and corporate calling, destiny, and purpose. If you are only going after your own personal calling, that is not God’s will. You need to identify yourself with something much bigger than yourself. When you begin to plow and believe with a larger body of believers for a corporate vision that God has for the church, in that you will find your own personal destiny and calling being fulfilled, if that is your place of assignment.
I feel God wants to release a burden, the burden of His heart to birth something new. There is a groaning that God wants to release, a groaning that calls upon a homeland, that calls upon a kingdom to come.
I feel such a mantle--today is the beginnings of something in the spirit and it is going to have to be birthed--there is such a burden of intercession, firey intersession that is coming on this body to begin to birth this thing, but you have got to understand that even though you may not see it in the natural there is the beginnings, the conceptions of something in the spirit. I want to pray for you, because you guys as the lead pastors here, I feel like there is something fresh the Lord wants to release on you, something so new.
I feel like there is something of a mantle of a fresh jealousy of the Lord for a new thing that He wants to put on this place.
There are times I can see that it’s so strong on you that it is actually going to cause you pain it’s going to be such a burden in you that there are days where it will literally overcome you with the groaning of pain to see it manifest. It is something that is going to touch you so deep. It’s like a fresh revival even within you personally.

Prophetic word over Catch the Fire State by Justin Pierce
Justin's word taken down by his mom, Nancy Pierce September 22, 2009.
Wow that was amazing! My kitchen will never be the same....my son preached quite a prophetic word tonight :)
Tonight, Justin, you talked about the low-tech methods of using the Brickyard to reach people and the free expression tunnel with messages about Fire State, Ignite groups, Catch the Fire Raleigh...how you observed other church's efforts of using high tech, high cost posters to try to start ministries at NC State....they had the money to start, there was a strong impression a few years ago that there was to be a new church at NC State area for students, but it was halted because of the thought that it wasn't a good business decision...
Catch the Fire was ready to invest in a building near campus for student-led ministry....in talking to people, a room became available on campus, for free, because of the student-led organization that was formed....
God has been wanting for years to break into Raleigh....with His Father's love....churches have had the desire here, but things didn't work out...it was waiting to happen...
He kept people in Raleigh who were wanting to leave Raleigh...me (Justin) for example...got accepted to Moody Bible Institute, was considering going, things changed and he stayed here...other people were gonna leave, but God kept them around...He kept those in Raleigh that are adventurous, that are not afraid of stepping out onto a road that isn't built yet, that is not seen yet...they are coming together in CTF and will be used....from the feet of the people to the head of government, to the arms and legs that are (his love and spirit) in reaching out.......there will be others churches that will be brought into this season. Other churches also who had to seed of desire for revival but it didn't come right then...it will be coming.... His oil is going to pour out on Raleigh....

Wow Prophecy from Julian Adams
2008
Just recently I was attending a team meeting where we gathered from our family of churches in France, key leaders to pray and strategize for the year forward. We were having a time of worship when the Lord took me into an encounter by the Spirit. In this encounter I found myself walking in a garden enjoying the presence of Jesus, when suddenly Jesus invited me into this room. I found myself in a treasure room. It was full of the most amazing jewels, treasure boxes full of gold and what seemed like big rocks
with diamonds hidden inside! Jesus began to speak to me about this room of treasure and heavenly resource!
Without delay I heard him say go search out your treasure and resource for this next year, as I did this, with much glee I might add, I literally was diving into treasure as I found myself energized by the Spirit. It was in this context that I saw you both, Duncan and Kate Smith looking, searching and enjoying the treasure of Heaven. This for me was really weird, as we have not really crossed paths other than a conference at Richard Maybury's church. I was actually startled by seeing you in this room! I noticed that you both were unaware of me as you were enjoying resource form heaven!
It was then I felt Jesus began to speak to me! I asked Him why you were both in this encounter, I felt him download a word into my heart for you both. I felt the Lord speaking about a new season of Resource and Treasure that the Lord was opening up to you. I felt him say these will be the resources that I will give the Smith's, people, buildings and nations. I felt him say this three times as I was there. God I believe is about to open up new vistas of opportunities for your church, ministry and the nations. I believe that part of your treasure will be coming into your true apostolic identity and part that will be released in displaying raw apostolic power.
I saw People, like literal treasures being added to you, from the affluent to the poorest of the poor. It was like the rocks of diamonds I was picking up. The divine enclosed in the earth. You will be a couple to break open the destiny of people that have being hidden for a long time. There is something about famous men and women who will join you. I mean this in terms of well-known people in secular arenas. I even felt there would be some famous actors who you will have contact with and draw them into an encounter of Jesus. I saw people of great influence given to you to open up the region
you are working in.
I believe another part of the treasure will be men and women who have been disillusioned with the church. Broken men and women. Those burnt stones that have been left on a heap and discarded. I felt that the Lord was excited when he was speaking to me about this but, there was also a caution. I felt him say there would be those who would want to spy out your freedom and criticize it. I felt like God would expose this and give you apostolic wisdom as to how to deal with them. My sense was that God was going to give you some unlikely candidates who will join you and bring an evangelistic momentum to you very quickly! There were some burnt stones that you would restore back into ministry!
I felt the Lord speak to me about moments of doubling. It was like I could see a Sunday when you church would literally double in size. There is a breaking in of God coming to you that will cause radical increase!
I then saw building made out of precious stones. I felt the Lord would give you key buildings in the area that you work. I saw houses and big buildings. More than one! Buildings that would be used for equipping and releasing. This was not about simply places to meet or to have a nice building. I felt God wanting to give you title deeds and keys that would give you access to the community and to serve as a display of Glory. It was like there would be a residue of anointing in these place and people would come to receive as a result. I saw a lot of activity in building, I felt God say this will be a training house for revivalists and those who would bring reformation. I believe that God is going to unlock apostolic revelation to you that will release people to be trained and sent to impact many places, much like yeast effects a whole bowl of flour!
I also sensed that as you both were digging into these treasures there were treasures given that were specific to particular nations. It was like there were different types of treasure that came from different lands. I felt in particular you would be given building in other lands too. Even lands from poorer nations. As I continued in my encounter, there was a real sense of you both putting on jewels, crowns and precious stones. There was a sense of you both parading the multi-colored wisdom of God. I felt the Lord is about to take you both up a gear, and whilst you have had profile in many places God was about to unveil you to Nations. I felt that God said to me, part of the resource will be nations. God is going to give you nations that will be like a home from home. It is like you will have authority in those nations to see the out working of God's purposes. It will mean you will stand before very influential people in government and even kings and presidents. It was as if you were wearing theses nations like crowns and you would release nations into their redemptive destiny. I saw you finding treasure in these nations and exposing them to the world. I believe this is about finding sons and daughters in many nations and releasing them. This is about fathering and releasing! Duncan I feel like God wants you to know that the dreams in your heart for specific nations are his dreams and you will come into them sooner than you think!
I believe that the Lord will even give you predictive prophetic insight into what will happen in the economic and political situations of some of these nations. They are yours to display God's wisdom and grace with! God will give you particular nations as yours. I believe part of the nations he will give you an increasing measure and exposure to will be, South Africa and some European countries. I sense there might even be some connections with places that have been dark, like France, Spain and some Scandinavian nations. (This is just what I sense; I know you will be able to weigh this. Don't be surprised if doors don't open to you increasingly in these places.)
It really is a season of new treasure for you. New opportunities and new encounters in the treasure/resource rooms of heaven! I do believe that Your new church will be an apostolic base that will have an impact on many nations! Get ready it is a new day!
