Carla Reed (right) came to Apple Hill Lodge here in Moravian Falls, NC for homegroup tonight (8-14-07) and brought with her one of the gemstones from Washington State. In all, they now have over 400 various sizes, cuts, and colors near Seattle, Washington.

That's me, Pam Clark, on the left, excited to see this since I have heard so much about them.

The rest of these pictures are mostly for those who were in attendance to enjoy.

I must tell you an amazing story that happened about 6 weeks ago. I had been in the Seattle area and had heard that there were some gemstones coming to a couple in the area. They had come over to Coeur D Alene in the fall last year to visit mutual ministry friends and had been introduced to Terry and Gerri Copper who have received the gemstones in the Coeur D Alene area. They visited the Copper's home having some unique experiences in what they feel is a heavenly portal area in front of their home where most of the gemstones have manifested.

When they went back to Seattle in the fall, they started receiving gemstones as well. They were completely different than the CdA gems. The first ones were small diamond like stones that appeared in Terrie Smith's Bible and also many other various shapes, sizes big and small and all colors of gems that they would find in their home. Some of them were in obvious places, like on a bed, but most of them they found as they searched the room. It reminded me of a child's Easter egg or treasure hunt. Glenn said the thing that is bring the gemstones is not necessarily striving in faith, as much as simply becoming childlike in anticipation and expectation.

About 3 weeks ago, I returned to the Seattle area. I had many divine appointments and encounters and was greatly blessed to be able to call Glenn and Terrie Smith. We talked easily for over an hour and found we had both been to Mt Zion Fellowship in Jerusalem when Ruth Heflin had her prayer ministry there.

They invited me to come to their house and along with my delightful new friend, Bev, we drove about 35 miles to Maple Valley, WA outside Seattle. I wanted to be able to go where the miracles were happening as there seems to be areas where portals of glory open up. It happened to the Coppers last summer when gemstones came to them in their yard, and I'm hearing reports of portals opening and some of them being photographed. Surely we are entering a new day of visitation, signs and wonders.

Bev and I were totally unprepared for what we saw, which was a large display of various colors, sizes and shapes of gemstones. Some of them were very large. Three more large stones had just come the night before. Glenn explained that after I had called about coming, he had stayed up late to work on his computer and do bookwork.

Glenn is an established businessman and tax accountant in the area and has lived there many years. He is on their city council and has been active in Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship and his church for many years. He has a theology degree and has been involved with ministry in the Seattle area. He has a childlike heart and wonderment that gave way to deep laughter and joy as he showed us the gemstones and we shared in the glory and wonder of it all. Truly, we all became as children delighted and happy in the surprises and gifts of our Father.

As Glenn was working on his computer, he said he was suddenly aware that the Presence of the Lord had filled the room and He worshipped. Then he heard something drop. He got up to investigate as that is how some of the gemstones have manifested. By the front door he found 3 rather large gemstones. He then proceed to show them to us.

And THEN, to my astonished eyes and heart, he presented one of them to me, and said, "We are supposed to give you this one". I was actually speechless. Imagine that. They felt it had come from the Lord for me since it came after they had talked to me. It was the first time they have given a large gemstone away. It is a beautiful multifaceted purple gemstone. It immediately reminded me of the beautiful gem I was allowed to take with me to Washington, DC and Ashland, VA last February. It was a gem given by Terry and Gerri Copper to John and Ruth Filler, co-leaders at Gateway with Mike and Kari Browning. As I've been preparing for my trip to the east coast in August, I was wishing I could have a beautiful gemstone to show to people and the Lord delivered it right to my hand that night.

When the gemstones first happened to them last fall, they came into Terrie's Bible. She would open it up and the crevice would be filled with tiny sparking gems that looked like diamonds. They had a whole container full of them. They have been giving them away and calling them seed diamonds.

They then wanted to show us how the Lord would highlight Scripture for them to read. As they turned to a few flagged passages, we noticed a beautiful diamond like iridescent glitter dust over 3 or 4 verses. He read several passages to us and then we closed the Bible. Suddenly, Terrie Smith who was looking across from us at the table, saw the Bible had a crack between some pages and she said; "Wait a minute."

Before our astonished eyes, she re-opened the Bible to the place she saw the gap and the entire crevice was filled with tiny little diamond like gemstones. The Bible was open to Joel 2. We began to laugh like children at the sheer amazement of HIS ways. How can this thing be?

Then we decided to see if a passage was highlighted and sure enough diamond dust was all over several verses. It began it Joel 2:23... Are you ready for this??

"BE GLAD THEN, YOU CHILDREN OF ZION, AND REJOICE IN THE LORD, YOUR GOD; FOR HE GIVES YOU THE FORMER RAIN IN JUST MEASURE AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HE CAUSES TO COME DOWN FOR YOU THE RAIN, THE FORMER RAIN AND THE LATTER RAIN AS BEFORE.

And the floors shall be full of grain, and the vats shall overflow with grape juice and oil.

And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten, the hopping locust, the stripping locust and the crawling locust. My great army which I sent among you.

And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord, your God, Who has dealt WONDROUSLY with you. AND MY PEOPLE SHALL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME.

And you shall know that I am in the midest of Israel and that I, the Lord, am your God, and there is none else. MY PEOPLE SHALL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME.

And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.

Even upon the menservants and upon the maidservants in those days will I pour out My Spirit.

And I will show signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire, and columns of smoke...

As if I wasn't amazed and dazed enough, Glenn and Terrie told me they wanted me to have the beautiful little diamond like gemstones in the crevice of her Bible. It has been a joy to give a some of them away and I'll be happy to show them to you...

And it will be my delight to show you as I travel this summer. Yesterday, I took it to a gold refining lab in Coeur D Alene to have it weighed and had a specific gravity test run. It is amazingly heavy at 189.5 karots. The men in the lab were surprised at its size and brilliance. The specific gravity test came out at 5.5 which is way heavier than natural gems. It was ruled out as cubic zirconia by other tests done with light.

Those who have seen it are astonished at the unique cut of the gemstone. It has two peaks and is faceted all the way around. It is about the size of a small walnut and is kind of shaped like an ark. A few days after I returned home, I decided to try and count the facets of the gem. I had taken my contacts out which gives me excellent near sighted vision and I attempted to count the facets. I kept coming up with 137 facets. In the lab, I asked one of the men to count them and he too counted 137. All of these are God numbers.. 1..3..7. Unity. Trinity..Perfection.

The lab technicians kept commenting on how heavy the stone was. I was suddenly reminded that the Hebrew word for glory is Kabod. It means heaviness or glory. The glory of the Lord is indeed heavy, so I think the heavy stones truly are holding the glory of the Lord as they have come from His glorious Presence. Heaven is a real place with tangible substance and the gemstones are unique in their heaviness, but also their brilliance. You must see it.

When I first saw the gemstone, it seemed pretty to me, but initially, I didn't think it was as pretty as the ones I saw in Coeur D Alene. It is cut very differently, but it seemed more dull in appearance. Until. Until I started showing it to people and telling about it. I don't know how it happens, but I know it has gotten prettier. It seemed to suddenly know it was pretty and who doesn't like to be told that?

As I shared and showed it, it became brilliant with living color and then I realized it truly is a living stone and was responding to the voices of the people. Just like we do. More will be said about that this week at the Quantum Leap Conference as David Van Koevering talks about rocks recording sound. Didn't Jesus said the very rocks had heard His voice and would be crying out?

A few days after returning from Seattle, I had an interesting dream. I felt as if someone had come into my room, shaken me and told me to get up quickly and go outside. They wanted me to see that it was raining gemstones. It was as if someone literally came to my bedside and woke me up.

I was so startled, I quickly arose to put on clothes and went out my front door. I was quickly aware there was no rain there so went to my back patio door. I opened it into the summer air and there was no rain coming in the natural. Yet, I felt the urgency of getting up to see the glory rain. It seemed in my mind's eye the rain drops were colored gemstones falling everywhere. Others have seen similar visions.

The next night I had a similar experience. I was suddenly startled right after going to bed. I quickly arose and went into my kitchen before I even thought about what was happening to me As I did, the microwave clock said 11:11 pm. I dropped to my knees on the kitchen floor and began to say HIS name, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Surely we are in days of visitation and the 'latter rain' of Joel 2. We may need helmets for this one not just umbrellas. Ha.

I'm hoping you will be blessed and challenged, beloved friends, to open your hearts and minds to the new day that we are in. Signs, wonders, and miracles must be the trademark and expression of the church. The standard and the norm that will speak to hearts and open them to the truth of the gospel and His great love for all of us.

From Pam:

I know these things are controversial. Maybe God wants that! Many will ONLY believe their logic. But our God is the God of the supernatural. He did many mighty miracles. And yes, what HE does points to HIM. I know that many get carried away in their understanding and skepticism!

Also, a friend of mine from Holland named Froukje wrote this [excerpted for sharing], something to consider:

Hi Pam,

A friend from N Ireland sent me your article about the gemstones with the pics. She asked me what I thought of it. I have been doing some thinking about it. You know me by now. Just like I wrote in "God's Refining Fire", I found out that God is talking again.

All these signs, gemstones, feathers, manna, gold dust etc have something to say. It's God talking VISIBLY, trying to tell us what time it is and what He is doing. At least that is what I think. My youngest daughter, who is also prophetic, was asked for the first time to speak at a little conference in the UK and she asked God to confirm it with a sign, by giving her a little gemstone. After praying she opened her email and out jumped a message: YOU are MY PRECIOUS JEWEL!. Well she got the message and she is going, but her story told me something too about the gemstones that are falling here and there and I wanted to share that with you.

Mal. 3:16 Then those who feared the Lord talked often one to another; and the Lord listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared the Lord and who thought on His name.
17And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
18Then shall you return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve Him.

This is "that day", the day wherein we are living now, and God declares openly that we are His jewels! I love it, I love it, I love it!!! When I hear God speak that way! I saw white feathers fall in a meeting with Bobby Conner and God said at that time to me that He was wanting to draw us under His wings, that's what that's a sign for.

Did you see on Patricia King's website: Extreme prophetic about the revival in Puerto Rico, with an angel dancing around the campfire and all the awesome signs of God's Presence?

Another little "gem"I got from the Lord the other day

Song of S 1:3 (ASV) Thy name is as oil poured forth... The instructions are specific, not only are you to pray, but also to anoint things with oil, as the Lord directs and then rest in faith and see what God will do. Why oil, what does it mean? Well things [are] being sanctified when they are anointed with oil, but that was OT, what is the application TODAY? I picked up my bible and it fell open on Song of Sol. 1:3 and suddenly I saw it. When we anoint with oil, we put a seal of ownership, the Name of the Lord, the Name of Jesus on that place!! I had never seen it that way, but it certainly makes sense and has increased my faith!

God bless! Love from Froukje
