Over the years of Lou’s prophetic journey, the Holy Spirit has often orchestrated certain notable signs designed to arrest Lou’s attention, particularly as they relate to key assignments. In this way, the significance of the date February 22nd (2/22) has occasionally been used by the Lord to highlight several key “2’s” in Scripture.

The most significant anchor text has been Isaiah 22:22: “And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open.” In other words, while the verse has a specific historical context, the broader application points to an authority the Lord releases that is used to open and shut doors. This is part of our Ekklesia prayer mentality, looking for and receiving the “keys of the kingdom” Jesus gives to bind and loose things in the spiritual realm. 

“222” thus became a sort of code for the “now” assignment of the Lord, and the fresh revelation He brings to complete that assignment. It’s how our entire community has functioned for 30+ years. Over that time, Joel 2, 2 Kings 2:22, Daniel 2:22, and Acts 2:22 have also become grafted into this story. Moving forward, we are hopeful that an annual 222 Conference can be a gathering place for those in our tribe to declare the word of the Lord with a prophetic spirit rooted in clear, revelatory Bible teaching.
