When
was the Blood first noticed?
August
8, 1998:
Louise
Lupoli spoke with Pastor George Stover after the Thursday evening service.
There
is a pool of blood in your church. Jesus Blood is in your church. Jesus
Blood is a pool of
blood.
All are to come barefoot and step in. Pastor is to stand in the pool and
call others in.
It
will only be there for a while. Only will be there for a season. Immerse
yourselves in it.
There
is oil upon the Blood. There is provision in the Blood. This is the Manifest
Provider.
As
recalled by Louise Lupoli in August 1999:
The Issue of Blood (Pool of Blood)
I
Louise Lupoli fellowship at Wellspring Church. My Pastors are George and
Sharon Stover.
On
the night of one of our services on Thursday night, in the month of August,
as I listened to my
Pastor
preach, I felt a heaviness upon me. During the service I recall my Pastor
asking anyone if
they
needed prayer. I made an attempt to walk to the altar. Walking unbalance
and zigzagging. I
felt
I was in a trance. At the altar I was unable to hold my balance. Trying
to hold myself up.
Pastor
George came and ministered prayer to me. Unable at that time to stand.
By the power of
the
Holy Spirit I fell down in the fulness of His presence. There was silence.
Many times I tried to
get
up and again, and again, I was down under the power of the Holy Spirit.
At times Pastor
George
or Pastor Lou came my way to help me up. Down I went again. I was not aware
how
long
I laid there. As I picked myself up, dragging my lifeless body to my seat,
I was unable to sit
up.
I felt weak at that time I laid my body down on three seats. Unable to
keep my eyes open. At
times
I would hear my Pastor preaching. As my body was stretched on the chairs
I just melted
myself
in His presence. What all of this was taking place there was silence not
aware of what was
taking
place, complete silence resting in His presence. Awesome experience.
Finally,
I lifted my body which was weak and still unable to stay on my feet. I
felt drunk and
unstable,
still standing there, unable to move away from my seat. Just in case, if
I had to sit again.
While
standing there to get my composure together. I smelled a very strong odor
of blood. My
eyes
rolled down to the floor thinking maybe I'm bleeding from my body. No blood
on me or
around.
The smell of blood was very strong in my nostrils as if I could taste it
that is how strong
the
smell was.
No
blood to be seen at all. Leaving the church I was in a trance, unable at
that time to even think
what
was taking place in my body. Dragging myself out of the church into the
car. I was relaxed
and
weak, had a good nights sleep.
The
next day was Friday. It was a day off from work. Went about my business
and still this odor
of
blood remained in my nostrils. The smell seems to have been stronger.
Once
a month on a Friday night, we have our prayer night. The Hour of Power.
Again I was
immobilized,
unable to move. Being convicted by the Holy Spirit again. The odor of the
blood
was
getting stronger. After prayer was over I mentioned the blood to Pastor
George. We spoke
for
awhile and he called for his wife, Sharon. We three were debating the issue
of blood. Still not
realizing
what was this smell of blood. I knew I had to tell my Pastor. On my way
home that
night,
again at this time I felt the fulness of His presence. As the Lord spoke
to me, He told me to
go
and tell Pastor George, “that there was a pool of blood at the altar.”
I asked the Lord, “What if
he
does not receive it or believe me.” God said, “Tell Pastor George to pray
about it. He will
know.
If he does not receive it he will not be blessed. I will be blessed for
being obedient to His
word.
His vice was dominant, gentle as He spoke. At this time I was silence.
He said, “It will only
be
there for a season around three months at which time the Church would be
in Jubilee. Every
one
must come and take off their shoes and come and step into the pool of blood.
Whatever you
pray
for, sickness, finances, marriage, there is healing in the blood. Come
and soak in the pool of
blood.
Again,
the Lord said to tell Pastor George, “He will know when he prays. He will
receive from
Me.”
I arrived home safe, unable to walk fast. At this time I was excited to
tell Pastor George. I
called
him at home and Pastor Sharon said, “He was not at home but will tell him
I called. That he
will
call me back.” Within seconds Pastor George called. I was very excited
and sharing with him
all
what the Lord said. Over and over I tell Pastor George to pray about it,
that he will know if
its
from God and not I. The next day was Saturday. I went to work. The Pastor,
at that time
asked
his members (staff) to pray with him at the altar. And how God was ministering
to them
about
the blood. Everyone had a different testimony about the issue of blood.
Sunday
morning at the service he spoke about the pool of Blood. At this time I
was working.
Sunday
night I went to church. Pastor George, being a man of God, faith believing,
called the
congregation
to come into the pool of Blood. Everyone took off their shoes and received
and
soak
there in the pool of Blood. It was awesome, Beautiful!
Probably
saying, “My faithful servants. Blessing for being obedient to My word.”
It was three
months
later the Blood was gone. I felt drawn to go there knowing the pool of
Blood that Jesus
shed
for us was very real. As I saw this vision. I will never forget it. When
I get to Heaven I'm
asking
God, “Why me?” Probably my heart! Awesome, rewarding, refreshing, cleansing.
How
did the leadership get involved?
During
our weekly Staff meeting Pastor George shared what Louise Lupoli had told
him and asked the staff members to go into the Sanctuary and wait upon
God to see what might happen.
What
did the leaders experience when they went to the altar area as directed?
According
to Reverend Robbie Gutierrez:
The Blood on the Altar
as experienced by Robbie Gutierrez
8/6/98 Thursday evening Ray Brooks ministered
and I was so touched by God that when I fell in
the Spirit, it seemed as though my legs from
below the knee sunk into the floor, as I went straight
down. I remained in His Presence for some time.
8/7/98 Friday evening (first evening of the Missions
Conference) Juanita Williams ministered and I
laid on the floor in His Presence for about an
hour. For me there was an overwhelming flow of
His love; it came in waves and I wept for the
joy of it.
The Missions Conference brought about weeping
and travailing for lost humanity that touched
nearly all that were present and during nearly
every session.
8/20/98 Thursday evening Pastor George Stover
ministered with power and there was a strong
sense of God's presence.
8/22/98 Saturday morning staff meeting, Pastor
George related Louise Lupoli’s sense of smelling
the Blood at the altar. The staff entered
the sanctuary and as I walked toward the altar, I become
overwhelmed by that which flowed off the
altar being the Blood of Jesus and began to weep. As
we prayed there together, I dropped to the floor
as did many other staff members and we were
before the Lord for about two hours.
During that time, I saw in the Spirit, the pool
of Blood on the altar and rivulets of it flowing
down the steps and pooling around the area in
front of the altar up to the red chairs. It seemed to
lap to and fro as a gentle ocean will do, somehow
contained as it went no further. As I lay there,
the Blood lapped and receded against my body
very gently like a soft breeze.
Over the pool of Blood on the altar and yet somehow
in the pool, I envisioned the cross, which
appeared as rugged wood, and the feet of Jesus
nailed on that cross with drops of blood falling off
of His feet into the pool, thus creating the
flow and pool. It never ended, the supply went on and
on. I saw this several times over the next
two months when we would go into the sanctuary to
pray - the never ending flow of His Blood.
I was acutely aware of the cleansing that the
Blood produces and felt that I was experiencing just
such a cleansing in body, mind and soul.
Specifically, I felt convicted because I realized that I had
not ministered in songs about the Blood for a
long time. I had not made a decision to avoid these
songs, but unconsciously had passed over them
when preparing for ministry in song. I began to
bring Blood songs often and regularly after that.
The other specific thing I sensed was the Lord
revealing uncleanness in the Body of Christ and
that certain steps needed to be taken to rid
ourselves of “Achan’s sin” as it were, and that the
convicting, cleansing Blood would take care of
it if we yielded. The conviction would come, but
the healing would be in the receiving of the
Blood itself.
8/23/98 Sunday services proved that the Blood
was still on the Altar.
8/25/98 Tuesday, as I prayed at 5:00pm, I felt
that Jesus was pouring His Blood over my body
and into my heart for healing in body and emotions.
On this day and on those that followed, I had
a sense of cleansing by weeping which came at
each entrance into the Blood on the altar. This
weeping was also released as a means of thanksgiving
for what He was doing in me during these
times of intimacy.
8/26/98 Wednesday, during 5:00pm prayer, Jesus
spoke of the lack of loyalty and obedience in
the Body of Christ. It caused me great
grief and my tears flowed as I was convicted personally as
well as corporately. Afterward His Blood soothed
away all anguish.
8/27/98 Thursday evening prayer before service,
as I lay on the floor the red chairs that circle the
altar area appeared to me as the protective covering
of His Blood. We are immersed, covered on
all sides.
8/28/98 Friday at 5:00pm prayer I realized that
we never laid prostrate before Him as much as we
were doing at this time. Some people who don't
usually come to Prayer with Pastors were
coming in to pray. I felt compelled, not forced,
to lay face down before Him.
8/29/98 Saturday I felt that water baptism should
follow the pool of Blood and should occur with
Jubilee at the beginning of October. The message
of the Blood at the Altar should be taught at all
ministry levels (TV, radio, Bible studies, pulpit,
etc.) as well as the account of this should be
published. There can be no Jubilee for
the individual or the church without the forgiveness in the
Blood. The redeeming Blood of Jesus ushers in
Jubilee.
9/2/98 Wednesday at 5:00pm prayer I saw Jesus
holding a ladle in each hand, dipping and pouring
equally the conviction of the Holy Spirit and
the forgiveness in His Blood. The conviction was
held in His left hand and the forgiveness was
held in His right hand of His Authority. The right
hand of authority soothed the left hand of conviction.
9/13/98 Sunday before going to church, God spoke
that we are co-laborers in prayer with the
Holy Spirit, and this is how God moves.
9/26/98 Saturday, I saw the Blood flowing to cleanse
the nation beginning at Washington DC.,
and washing across the United States from East
to West.
9/27/98 Sunday before going to church, I saw the
Church as the “City set on the Hill” and she as
the Bride will be revealed or presented to the
New City of Jerusalem when the skies are rolled
back, and they shall become as one city.
10/13/98 Tuesday in 5:00pm prayer, it had been
evident that the Blood manifestation was
receding, but also that a healing oil was now
flowing.
Since the Blood appeared, I had lain prostrate
in prayer although in great pain and with difficulty
in getting up due to continual pain that had
been in my entire body for many years, as though my
very bones themselves ached continuously.
Today as I prayed, I actually saw and felt the
warm healing oil of Jesus as He rubbed it on my
arms and legs and submerged me in it like a restful
bath. When I got up from the floor, where I
had lain before Him, I rose without any pain
and have not had that pain since. The warm oil of
His Presence lasted into the night as I slept
rested without any pain medication.
10/14/98 Wednesday in 5:00pm prayer it seemed
that God said to me that everything needed is in
the house, which is the people, who are being
refined as pure gold. First comes the washing of
the Word, then the cleansing in the Blood.
Afterward the healing oil is applied, then His glory is
shown forth. A royal estate of supernatural
provision from sources unknown to man will appear
as pure gold.
10/15/98 Thursday in 5:00pm prayer the Lord gave
me the following in song:
The blind will see, the lame shall walk
The downtrodden will leap with joy
You will lead the enemy captive
Before those you have set free
When You come
Your victory banner flies high
To be seen by every eye
We will celebrate your victory
with dance and song
When You come
6/16/99 I sense that the healing oil is still
flowing from the altar area like a bubbling fount,
overflowing and rolling down the steps of the
altar.
