Show POL copy In search of the Feminine divine by Sven Hosford Looking back at the last year of Peaceburgh: What began as a small business and the dream of a few people to change the name of our city, has bloomed into a full-blown movement. Now with three websites, several amazing events under our belt and more planned, hundreds of people now call themselves Peaceburghers. Last year started with several Peaceful Gathering of Hands events, hit a high note on Nov. 11 with the 11:11:11 event (Bhante pictured here giving his blessing), and ended the year with an amazing New Year's Eve event. It all started in 2009 when I founded Peaceburgh Micro Media Lab LLC. Around about that time, Sol Shanti and some others got the cool idea to start a campaign to rename our city. He discovered that I had acquired the dot Com, dot Org and dot Net domains for Peaceburgh, but a great connection was made. I got introduced to Sol and his whole crew of loving nomads, just part of what we now call "The Younger Tribe." That's really what Peaceburgh is about: Connecting. We call it creating conscious community. Many of you know I had a close encounter with Allegheny General Hospital's ICU just over a year ago. I had to quit doing any print publications, close my office, and have scaled way back on many activities. When I told Tom Menditto about my adventures at the Peaceful Gathering of Hands event in May, he said to me, "It's time to pass the torch." As I looked at the 500 people gathered to hold hands, I told him, "Consider it passed." I'm feeling much better these days, although I still have low energy, but as you can probably guess, I have a good support system, being friends for over a decade with some of the best healers in the area. Now the Younger Tribe is a part of the Peaceburgh team. Tom went on to think up the New Year's Eve event, which was truly a ground-breaking event. Several hundred people gathered at First United Methodist in Shadyside for an evening of dancing, healing, labyrinth-walking, and general merry-making. Family friendly, drug and alcohol-free, and of a very high consciousness. That event was managed by Chad Mosseso and Annie Derek and many others. Get to know these names. These are the new generation of movers and shakers, along with Kevin May (aka Phil Osophical), Alex Baker and some others I'm still gettting to know. Transformational Alliance (Closed Group) Have you have heard about Peaceburgh yet? Nakyouout.com wrote about the New Years event we did. It was a huge success and I am so excited about all the young people that are involved. For a long time I have been part of these somewhat political, spiritually focused groups that are all about studying consciousness, enlightening practices, indigenous prophecy/wisdom/ceremony, yoga, sound healing, activism and so much more. All of these gatherings and events really have something for everyone, but it seemed like I was always one of only a few young people consistently there. Suddenly, like I had always dreamed, it has exploded and there is a large force of 18-30 year olds behind everything now, many of whom have been at it well before I was aware of them – a small group of the amazing folks in the pic to the right for example. We call it the “Young Tribe” for fun and the community at large has several events coming up. The event is over but, it was incredible. I ended up singing/rapping impromtu with about 20 drummers…it was rad! If you missed the artist showcase, be sure to attend the Peaceburgh Spring Social which will be held on Sunday afternoon March 25, 2012 I will be speaking again as I did at the artist showcase about the Transformation Alliance Peaceburgh (T.A.P) with my mentor Vikki Hanchin, who inspired an international buzz regarding the links Pittsburgh has with the Mayan Prophecy !

Welcome to all our new visitors from around the globe. What a thrill it is to see how interconnected we are on this auspicious anniversary. Some of you have been emailing me questions such as, “How is your city different then Zurich, Honolulu or Istanbul? How did the city of Pittsburgh become known as the city of Unity, and become widely known as Peaceburgh? When did you first start working together in Unity? How did you know working in Unity was important?” Contrary to the doomsday predictions of Hollywood and fearmongers, we didn’t just survive the shift in 2012, we exploded out of it, into a world of peace, love and prosperity, or what we call “Health, Wealth and Wisdom.” The Coming Pittsburgh Revival The Coming Pittsburgh Revival This is an updated release of a compilation of prophetic words originally sent out in September 2005. We have found that many people in the Pittsburgh area are not familiar with a number of these words. My hope is that they will be a source of encouragement and prayer focus for believers around the city. There is a growing sense that something big is on the horizon. I am sometimes asked to define "the city of Pittsburgh." It seems that people don't want to be left out. Personally, I don't believe The Pittsburgh Revival will be confined to the city limits, but is for all that call Pittsburgh home. I also believe that God is directing me to get these words into the hands of the pastors in the surrounding area. Please pray for receptive hearts, as I believe that God is also saying that it is time to call pastors together. The Argentina Connection The earliest known prophecy that we are aware of was related to us byLila Terhune, who was the prayer coordinator at Brownsville Assembly of God inPensacola, Florida during the revival that began on Father's Day 1995. She related the following story to Renaid and me personally when she was in Pittsburgh around 1997. On her way to Pittsburgh, she had stopped to visit a retired missionary named Ed Miller, who had served the Lord in Argentina prior to the revival the came to that nation. He tells how there came a point that the Bible school students he was with cancelled classes to seek the Lord. During one of these meetings, a young male student was caught up in the spirit and began naming cities where revival would come in the last days. He did this in the local language of each city. Brother Miller said that they didn't have tape recorders and didn't think to write things down. Not knowing Lila's itinerary, he told her that the only two places that he could remember were Toronto and Pittsburgh. This word, from Argentina, came forth in 1951. The Brownsville Connection Another word was related by John Kilpatrick, who was the pastor during the revival at Brownsville. We heard this word on tape from a message spoken at Covenant Church of Pittsburgh in either 2001 or 2002. Pastor Kilpatrick was relating the journey into revival and told of an intercessor who called him around 1990, about 5 years before the revival began. The intercessor said that he was moving to Pensacola to "drill in the spirit," because God had spoken to him that revival was coming to that city. Brother Kilpatrick said he didn't believe him. The intercessor said the Lord had shown him and others that revival was coming to 4 places - Canada, Pensacola, Sacramento (CA), and Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, the Keystone State During the 2005 Holy Spirit Seminar at Greater Works Outreach, a word came forth from Lance Wallnau that God had wanted to use the city of Philadelphia, but "the apostolic anointing that was there was taken out in it's youth" so that it could not do what was intended. The enemy then tried to destroy it in Pittsburgh, but the church here has prevailed. It went on to say that what happens here will be taken to Harrisburg, the rest of Pennsylvania, and then to the nation. This agrees with other words given by people such as Dutch Sheets andChuck Pierce that PA is the key to the nation. (We are the "keystone" state.) The Ghana Connection In August 2005, we met a pastor from Ghana. Some of you heard him at the Signs & Wonders Gathering.Pastor David Afriyie first came to Pittsburgh in 2001, for another purpose. But while he was visiting, the Lord gave him a vision and spoke to him about a "large" revival that is coming to Pittsburgh.Pastor David has been returning each year since 2001 to pray for this revival. A Call to Pittsburgh During the 2006 National Day of Prayer gathering in Washington, DC, Dr. Henry Blackaby, the honorary chairman, stated that he and others believe that there are 3 cities in America that are "ripe for Holy Spirit revival." They are Charlotte, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. What Will the Emphasis Be? Before we had heard any of these words, God put it in our hearts to pray and believe God for revival in our city. We have learned that each revival has a different emphasis. What God did in Toronto was different than what He did in Pensacola. What He did in other places was different still. So, several years ago I began to ask God what the emphasis would be in the revival that is coming to Pittsburgh. His response to me has been confirmed by many, and I will recount a few of these below. What the Lord spoke to me was that the coming revival will emphasize God's healing power. One of the first people I heard that confirmed this was James Goll, a prophetic voice in the body of Christ. James was visiting Pittsburgh and declared that the prophetic destiny of our city is healing and reconciliation (which is one aspect of healing). Another confirmation came from John Mulinde of Uganda. The story of God's working in Uganda is told on the second Transformations Video. He is one of the people that God has raised up in that nation. Renaid & I first heard of him in France, and than in Berlin. Christians from all over Europe travel toPrayerMountain in Uganda to seek the Lord. John and his wife came to Pittsburgh in June 2004. We had the opportunity to meet him and attend most of his meetings. In the first service, John shared the vision that God had given him for America. In subsequent meetings, he elaborated on the things the Lord showed him regarding Pittsburgh. One of those was the healing well that resides in our city. As if to confirm this, his wife received a healing during their visit of a condition she had carried in her body for several years, despite all of the prayer going up fromPrayerMountain. Pastor David has also proclaimed healing will flow from this revival. Many of those speaking about revival refer to the healing well that was flowing during the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman. We personally believe that the well of healing is not here because of Ms. Kuhlman, but that she came here because of the well. Even in the natural, Pittsburgh has had many medical breakthroughs and "firsts." Re-digging the Healing Wells of the Past Many in our city have been praying and "re-digging" these healing wells. In the spring of 2005, the Lord spoke to me to, "Proclaim the opening of the healing wells in Pittsburgh." We have been doing this in various meetings since then. It's a step of faith to release a word like this. However, as I looked at the beginning of the ministry of Jesus in Luke 4 (quoting Isaiah 61), I saw that He began "proclaiming" things that were getting ready to happen, before any miracles had taken place.

Hopi Elders' Prophecy- Sharuti, Virgie leading Toning Oraibi, Arizona, June 8, 2000 You have been telling people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are things to be considered. . . . Where are you living? What are you doing? What are your relationships? Are you in right relation? Where is your water? Know your garden. It is time to speak your truth. Create your community. Be good to each other. And do not look outside yourself for your leader. Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, "This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt. The time of the one wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we've been waiting for.
