Luke 13:10-13

“On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, ‘Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.’ Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.”

Today marked an 18 year anniversary for me and I knew the Lord was going to do something miraculous! I went to church expectant to receive healing and freedom, but He quickly reminded me it was already done! So instead of seeking, He allowed me to give what I had already been given by ministering to numerous people and seeing them healed and set free! What a beautiful way to redeem this day! I thank the Lord and give Him all the praise and glory!

We are FAMILY!

What a joy it was to get to reconnect with a few of my cousins in Ohio! One of them is hungering and thirsting after the more of Christ! She has already enrolled in reviveSCHOOL and completed the book of Genesis. It is such a delight to share my experiences and nuggets with her that I’ve learned along my journey! I’m already looking forward to our next visit when I can stay a bit longer!

Break Through

This was a first for not only the prayer team, but also for the TTR team to pray and worship together for 27 hours straight!

It was especially beautiful seeing two extremely large families stay and participate into the wee hours of the morning! It excited me thinking about how their children will not grow up thinking it strange spending a weekend in church seeking the Lord for personal revival and for revival in their community!

When morning broke, we felt led to move out into the streets and “Speak the Name of Jesus!

Access and Authority

After our 27 hour prayer service, I stopped at a hotel in Kokomo to get some rest. The following morning as I took a load of things out to my car, I met a gentleman in the elevator. I knew to be alert, but didn’t feel threatened.

On the next trip to my car, I heard someone ranting and cursing. Several staff ran to see what was happening. Immediately, I asked the Lord if I was to engage or retreat. I heard Him say “move forward.” As I did, He instructed me to begin praying in the Spirit. I could see the person from where I was and immediately felt chilled and a shiver went down my spine. I also noticed as soon as I began praying, the person who was making the disruption picked up her things and left the building. The Lord showed me that was a demonstration of His power that I carry within me. The darkness can’t stand the light!

Next, I encountered the clerk that the individual was yelling at. I asked her if she was ok and if I could pray for her.; she allowed me to. Through prayer, the Lord replaced trauma with His peace and comfort. She cried as He released His love. Iit was a beautiful picture of the Lord redeeming what the enemy tried to steal.

Lastly, I walked over to the lobby to get a cup of coffee. It was right where the agitated person was standing and I felt fear and trauma. The Lord instructed me to pray and reclaim that territory the enemy tried to gain.

On 2/22/22, the prayer team discussed the prophetic significance of the 2’s. We went to Isaiah 22:22 “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.”. I believe this experience was the Lord activating and demonstrating the access to the authority we have through Him.

Precious Gifts!

What a joy it was for me to get to spend a few days with these precious souls! I was able to watch these kiddos while their parents were able to get away for some quality time alone! I think we all enjoyed ourselves and I got the best end of the deal! I honor mothers and fathers all the more after walking briefly in their shoes!

Praying Proverbs 3:1-12 over them. “My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.

New Thing

What a joy today was getting to spend it Sophie and Maggie!

Revelation 21:5 “Behold, I make all things new.”

I was reminded of how the Lord is transforming me this very moment…and that because I am His, I shouldn’t dwell on the past because the old has gone. Instead, I need to keep focused on the present and what He is doing right now…because we know He will finish what He started!

Word

During service at We Are One, everyone was hit by the joy of the Lord. I am usually one of the first ones to experience it, but I began weeping uncontrollably. Upon conclusion of worship, several people came and prayed over me. As I was coming up out of the darkness, I felt He was untangling me from the grave clothes of heaviness and despair! The following day, the Lord filled me with His joy unspeakable!

Here are the words they prayed over me….

Her steps are ordered Father, to release healing. Where ever her feet go, they will release healing from heaven. Anoint her feet Father. He is strapping, I see combat boots, you are a warrior, you are an intercession prayer warrior for the kingdom of heaven. Thank You for what you are doing in her life God. I release a blessing over her tonight God, that you would break off all heaviness, heaviness has to fall and come up and out in Jesus name. I release joy, that she would receive the cup of joy tonight. That you would revive her God, restore her, renew her Father. I say do a new thing in her. Away with the old wine skin, new wine skins tonight. New wine skins because He’s doing a new thing in you. There is a fresh anointing being poured out, new fresh manna being poured out to you tonight, in His mighty name. He is anointing your mouth, your mouth is a trumpet to blast God’s truth to all who hear in the mighty name of Jesus. You are to sound the alarm, He has given you a word to release, and He said release My Truth. Thank you God that you are mounting her up on wings like eagles God, thank you for doing a new thing in her life God. You know what it is Father, so I just pray that every crooked place is straight Father, where the enemy has tried to come in and steal God, You are given him a recompense God, a recompense in Jesus name. Do it God, I say healing in Jesus name.

I thank you Father for clear direction in this next season. We cancel all the fogginess, confusion, we break it now. All that witchcraft, we break it off, we break its power. Every lie, and every lie that you’ve believed. We thank you Lord, she knows You and she knows Your Truth. They are lies, and we thank you Lord that she does not listen. We call her up, up, up, up, up to the new. Out of the old season and into the new season. Out of the old season and into the new season. We are calling you. He said He’s calling you into the new season. Step into it! Do it God! Thank you Father! The past is gone! We thank You Father. He is anointing you now for the new season. We thank you for the new mantle that you are going to wear as you walk in. The Word of knowledge the Lord is going to be giving you, it’s an increased level of the prophetic anointing to see and hear and release kingdom. We thank you that the evangelist in you is power evangelism, power evangelism and the anointing to hear Your heart for others. It’s a new mantle. He’s had His eyes on you the entire night. It’s been the pressing, you’ve been in the pressing for the anointing. It’s the crushing, the pressing, like the olives in the olive press. That press that is to produce that oil, the anointing. We thank you for the anointing for the new. And even the new wine. Even the grapes have to be crushed for the wine to come. So we thank you Father. Thank you Lord. Her joy is back! He said celebrate the new season! There is a new anointing on your feet to dance. To dance on the head of the enemy. As you walk, you are crushing, as you go, you are crushing, we thank you Lord. I even see the chains, you are stepping on chains…she is being released. You are mantled with glory. New mantle of glory. Thank you Jesus.

Fill My Cup

I was invited to go on a prayer retreat with this crew! What a blessing it was! We laughed, studied God’s word and went on different adventures. One of my friends said her new word for the bride this year is change. She explained that things would feel familiar, but it would be different in new and refreshing ways. Well, the Lord showed me already what she meant by that.

One of the things I have been missing lately is the ability to go camping…well, I was able to do just that in a peaceful cabin in a beautiful location! We also went to a restaurant that I have gone to before, only this time I was with a different set of family members! I love how the Lord has already redeemed this for me and the year is just beginning!

Happy New Year!

I had the best ending of 2021 and the best beginning of 2022 possible! I was able to catch up with my sponsor of 18 years on the last day of the year and enter into the first day of the new year with several courageous women praising and thanking Jesus for the freedoms they have found from their addictions! I am so grateful for where the Lord has brought me from and where He has me now! Only Jesus!
