I was visiting the Appalachian House of Prayer, near Sugar Mountain, North Carolina. The Pastor was speaking about being: *the called*the chosen*the faithful (from Revelation 17:14) He mentioned this.  “How many of us have been down the dark road in following Yeshua and have received stripes on our back? Have we followed him there?” LISTEN TO THE SONG, BY HIS STRIPES GO TO MAIN PAGE GO TO CH 22

During a recent prayer conference call, the Lord took me into an open vision. I was above the continental US, looking down upon the continent. It was dark, night-time. I saw many different prayer groups that were praying for Israel and for the US. Some groups met in person, some met over the phone. The dark places over the continent would suddenly “light up” as soon as they began to pray. I saw ladders under construction reaching heavenward. Rung by run, the ladders were being built. Angels were being dispatched to recent and build these ladders to heaven. Every prayer group had an open heaven over it and a ladder…

Have you ever felt like when you sing the song, “Jesus loves me this I know…” or read the words “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son….” That the words just bounce off?  That it is only head knowledge….is just doesn’t sink down into your heart?   I felt that way for years. I knew about God’s love but I still felt so unworthy, so rejected, so unloved, it just was not real for me. I was not experiencing the love of God in my life.  GO TO MAIN PAGE GO TO CH 20

I remember a very special encounter with the Lord some years ago. I was a young single mother of three and was struggling to support them as there was no child support coming from their father. I had become bitter due to the lack of child support and the draconian child support system that simply was not working for me. There was no justice in the system. I worked like a horse to keep the rent paid, food on the table, shoes on my kids’ feet and clothes on their backs. I went to a Friday night service where an outpouring of the spirit had been happening. The spirit of…

In the spirit, I was the sayings and the words of Jesus/Yeshua coming down from heaven. Each verse of the words of Christ was a sparkling jewel. A whole cluster of jewels were coming down and landed upon a bondservant. The jewel would get soft, almost like a gummy bear, were sticking to the person as they landed upon him. Then all the different jewels– ruby, emerald, diamond, sapphire, topaz, carbuncle, all began to melt and go inside of the bondservant. GO TO MAIN PAGE GO TO CH 17

One day I went shopping at the Goodwill to exchange some clothing items that had been given to me that did not fit. I parked my Subaru in the parking lot and went into the store. It was about 7 p.m. Fifteen minutes later I came out to the car and got in, getting ready to drive off. It was a rainy cold night and cold air and rain was blowing in through the right rear window. I turned to look. The right rear window had been smashed. Broken pieces of glass were all over the back seat. And, my laptop computer and travel backpack bag that were normally in…

There was a time in my life when I was very crushed and broken. It was the aftermath of a very devastating divorce. I went to the Friday night soaking worship service. I felt so completely shattered. During the worship, I went to the back of the church. I laid down on the floor between two pews, face on the ground, to just lay quietly in His presence. I remember just utterly casting myself at the feet of Yeshua and asking Him to visit me. He took me into an open vision. In the vision I saw my heart. It was full of holes, like Swiss cheese. I placed my…

After my divorce, I went through a time of great crushing and sorrow and grief. I just was so broken and hurting and did not know how to get unstuck from all the pain. I was attending a local church where they had very anointed worship services on Friday nights, and I would go every week and just soak in this heavenly atmosphere. One particular day, there was someone speaking from the pulpit and they were talking about dreams, dreams that the Father had placed in our hearts, and that He wanted to bring those dreams forth. I was brought into an open vision. I saw my dreams as a…

When I was a young single mother, there was a time when I was going through a trial with my 15 year old daughter. She was a very heavy sleeper. You could have a freight train go through her bedroom and she would not wake up. I was her transportation to school and after dropping her off, I would head on in to work. Every day was a battle to get her to wake up in the morning and get ready for school. She just would not get moving in the morning. And every day, I would arrive at work 15 or 20 minutes late, with my stomach in knots…

In my quiet times with the Lord, sometimes he takes me on adventures in the spirit. While I was a young single mom raising three children, I saw myself in the spirit as a “pioneer” woman living on a tropical island and surviving there. The island was something like what the Swiss Family Robinson family lived on, tropical and teeming with jungle life. Just like them, I have an elaborate tree house, with ladders up, pulleys for water to go up and down, a lower terrace for dining, an upper terrace for sleeping. It is all quite nice. But then, one by one, each one of my children builds themselves…
