It's been awhile since I have had any spare time to write. Amidst the busy season of homeschooling my children, teaching women's bible studies, and packing up my family time is a very valuable thing. Most days I just want to pause and be in the sweet presence of my Lord. However, once the new year began there was a gentle nudging from Him to pick up my pen and start writing again. As I said earlier, my family and I are in the middle of moving into our dream come true! A dream home that was well worth the long four year wait. I'll certainly have to share on the details of that journey on a later post. For the most part its enough to know that we are a family of six who have been living in a 1,000 sqft. apartment for two and a half years. You can imagine how challenging that would be at times for all of us, but we had also made it to the city that God had called us to. That was certainly worth it and we knew our God was faithful! There is no better place to be than in the will of God and that includes never knowing where that journey may take you.

  There are always good things taking place in what we do not know. This is the truth that I truly learned in the season of patience and faith. I had to remind myself constantly that those two qualities would receive HIs promises. Faith aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnd patience. And isn't that just what it feels like in the middle of the process for the promise? So, after much waiting, wanting to give up, but not giving up because after all how could we ever do that. Our God proved Himself Faithful yet once again. He made a way, rather quickly I might add, and is bringing us into our five bedroom home in Fort Worth. A journey that began four years prior. What a Mighty God we serve! The pain of birth is always worth the long awaited promise. Can I get an amen from every mother who has brought forth her beautiful children in the pains of labor? Of course! How easily we forget that pain and decide that we want to have another child!

  So what does God have in store for His Church this year? Oh, there will be so much change, multiple promises fulfilled, and stretching into where we have never gone before. Here is an introduction into what this year will be bringing about.

  But forget all that-
it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.
For I am about to do something new.
See, I have already began! Do you not see it? ( Is. 43;18,19 NLT)

  In order to fully appreciate the beauty in these verses you have to look back at what the Lord was commanding them to forget. God was referring to their miraculous deliverance in the parting of the red sea and the mighty defeat of their enemies when the sea swallowed them whole. Never to be seen again! These miraculous and supernatural events were what the Lord was encouraging them to let go of at this time. He was preparing them to receive the new things He wanted to bring about that was far greater than what their eyes had previously seen.

  This is what the Lord is saying to His people in this hour. You have seen mighty acts, my presence you have encountered, my miracles you have experienced and see many times, but you have seen nothing yet. Not only will I surpass these glorious acts but I am going to do them through the hands of my called out ones, my devoted children.

  You see even in the Bible it describes this time of transition when the children of Israel came into the promiseland. In this new land they would still continue to fight giants as they did before but now they would need to use their hands to collect the milk and honey that would be flowing there. God was calling them to more responsibility and co-laboring with Him.

  The wilderness times have served their great purpose but the time of promises are here. Welcome home to the land of His promises fulfilled! You have seen His great acts and now you shall do them! You are a prepared people for His signs, miracles, and wonders. What a wonderful new thing the Lord is releasing us to see and partake of together! Every gift, each deposit on the inside of us, and His promises are coming forth in this hour and it cannot be thwarted. Get ready for the stretching that will take place to conceive the greater that the Lord is now bringing forth through us.

  What I'm about to tell you is true. Anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. In fact, he will do even greater things. That is because I am going to the Father.  (John 14:12 NIRV)

  When Jesus ascended His mantle was passed on to His sons and daughters. This year we are taking up the full mantle of Jesus Christ, our royal robes of righteousness, and powerful authority. These gifts we will both yield and wield under His command. Can you sense the excitement of the new wine that is bursting at the seems? I assure you as you have struggled in the waiting and faithfully surrendered to His timing, you will not be disappointed. Believe me that even as long as you have waited the Lord has waited much longer than us. 

  Prepare to stretch. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Find your resting place in Him in the midst of it all. Jesus is to be our focus through all the pains of stretching, carrying, and bringing forth our promises for His glory corporately, With Him we can do this and without Him we will fall into the weariness and fatigue that birth can bring. Do not abort what is in you because you fail to rest and prepare.

  The fires of His love will carry you through every transition phase of the birthing process. Know that every stretch will bring you closer to your delivery time as every painful contraction brings a baby down the mother's birth canal. You can and you will. You were made for Glory and that glory will be seen.

  I want to close with the mystery of the ninth Hebrew letter which foretells what the year of 2019 will unveil. You can refer back to the beginning picture. The ninth Hebrew letter is know as tet  (it is pronounced as mate). Tet is a paradoxical letter in that it reveals both good (tov) and evil. The form of the letter is "inverted" suggesting hidden goodness, like that of a woman who is pregnant with child. 

  There you have it right in the number of our year both on the Gregorian (2019) and Hebrew calendar which is 5779. We will see the hidden goodness of God on the inside of us brought forth for His Glory! It's going to be an exciting year of change, growth in the stretching, and birth to so many promises. What a glorious year it will be!

Come forth Mighty Ones for My Glory and the time of My revealing.
Come forth in all your beauty and splendor declaring My praises to the Nations!
Sing oh beautiful bride of mine.
Sing for your King for your weeping is turning and your tears are collected.
What refreshing streams of living water are falling upon you even now. 
Rejoice! Rejoice my cherished ones!
Lift up your hands, lift up your hearts, and lift up your heads
for my glory has come upon you and great will be your joy.

  For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of this present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us! For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed. ( Romans 8:18,19 AMP)

I am too excited about sharing the word the Lord gave me from a vision I received on March 11, 2018 during worship on a Sunday morning in church. I've been anticipating the release of this word and waiting upon the Lord to say when and now is that time. Firstly, I just want to share the vision and then we will begin to unpack the revelation to what is on the brink of erupting for this hour for the Body of Christ.

​The atmosphere was ignited as praise and worship was being lifted up to the King. I could literally feel the presence of God so strongly on this particular morning. That's when I began to see the ocean and a ways back I could see a very, very enormous wave that was headed for the shore. I have seen a tsunami on the news but in the natural we have not seen a tsunami wave of this size. What is coming has never been but has been conceived in the mind of God. To see what is on its way can only be grasped in the mind of Christ, which we Church indeed have.

​A tidal wave upon wave was coming and I could see that the entire beach front was covered with people that had been anticipating and waiting for what was now drawing nearer and nearer. I could see two very distinct groups of people that stood out clearly to me. The first group were kneeling with their eyes looking upward, waiting intently for what was on the horizon. Then there was the other group of people who were standing and looking around, some not even paying attention to the waves coming. They seemed distracted by other sights all around them. Perhaps they grew tired of waiting.

​I continued to watch the whole scene playing out before my eyes and the sense of sight and smell was strong, it was as if I were actually there. As the waves grew closer the ones that were kneeling began to lock arms with the others that were kneeling with them. It went on and on all down the shore, and one by one they were linked. Then all at once the wave hit and it was too late to kneel or to reach out for others. The distracted ones went under and many were knocked unconscious or appeared to even drown. Those kneeling bowed their heads and held on tightly to the others with them. I watched as the waters rushed over them, leaving them completely drenched. As the waves continued to come the kneeling group holding hands  jumped to their feet and began rejoicing and cheering! They had made it! The waters were refreshing them all. They seemed alive, strong, and ready for what was next.

​I opened my eyes and could literally feel the excitement and refreshment of that moment that was coming upon us even now. The lord began to ignite my heart as He whispered things to me about what was being shown to me and how to be ready. He said prepare! Prepare the way! Humility, prayer, and communion with me with be of vital necessity for the body and those who do not heed these words will not endure or arise in what is ahead. Please hear His heart, it will be too late to prepare then. 

​Think of it in this way. The waters of the new wave of his glory are breaking forth and the rising of His corporate Body will be here! Shall we wait to prepare then? No way, there would be chaos! Does a mother wait to prepare for her arriving baby once it is born? No, that would not be wise at all and imagine the lack of peace and order. If we know what is coming then we get ready now. God is a God of peace, order, and joy. That is what he desires in the movement that is upon us. Get ready! Make preparations! Make changes! Clean out your house now! Pray, seek Him with all your heart in weeping, repentance, and fasting. Receive His plans for your life, home, families, churches, ministries, and businesses. Plan for abundance! God is downloading the blueprints for His global agenda! The question is are you making time to hear Him? Will you set apart time to seek Him as never before? Will you be kneeling and linked or distracted and overtaken? The glory of His movement will be here!

​There is so much more to share about the keys that the Lord was giving me as we prepare for the coming tsunami waves! I'll be releasing those as we go forward. One thing that the Lord has spoken about the move of God that is upon us is this; there are no stars in His move that is coming but only The Morning Star! I'll unpack that word more next time as we dig deeper into what we can do to be ready, so in the meantime lets get to work! Lord sweep our hearts and homes. Come in a consuming fire and clean out what is not of you and every distraction that pulls us away from your face and heart. We are to be Holy as you are Holy, set us apart to carry your glory to the masses. May you be seen in us and through us. Here are some of the scriptures on my heart for this word. We will start in Joel 2:12-24 in the NKJV. I encourage you to read this several times as we have already entered into this time on His divine calendar.
 
​ "Now therefore ," says the Lord,
"Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping,
and with mourning."
​So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the Lord your God,
​For He is gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
​And He relents from doing harm.
​Who knows if He will turn and relent,
And leave a blessing behind Him
​_
A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God?
Blow the trumpet in Zion,
Consecrate a fast,
call a sacred assembly;
Gather the people,
Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders.

​This continues on, but I want to continue from where the refreshing begins as we do what the Lord is requiring of us. Let's start in verse 21. Be sure and read all the way through these verses on your own study time in His word.

Fear not, O land;
​Be glad and rejoice,
For the Lord has done marvelous things!
​Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
​The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the former rain faithfully.
​And He will cause the rain to come down for you-
The former rain,
​and the latter rain in the first month.

​Church you are in the first month right now, the month of Nisan, The month that God established as a first to us with the celebration of Passover. Do not miss what the Lord is speaking to you right now! Get ready for the rains and the downpour that we are entering into! Until next time His burning Ones!

Share how this has been confirmed in your life and heart. Feel free to comment with what the lord has been speaking to you about this season. Let's encourage each other in the Lord.

I couldn't wait to share what has been burning in my heart for a couple of weeks now. Unbeknownst to me, I was only hearing the beginning pieces of what would be coming forth fully on this day. I'll start by sharing the word I was given on January 18th at 1;00am. I could not sleep very well that night because thee was something the Lord wanted to whisper to my heart. I write this blog for His burning Ones, His Bride that positions herself to walk with and hear from the lover of her soul. That is you and that is me. Here is the word directly from my I phone notes.

​There is coming an igniting of the evangelistic anointing upon my people to carry the  burdens for my lost ones. In this new level of love there will be a greater understanding of family that will be released upon My Body. You are family!! We are Family!! We will be given a true revelatory understanding of what this looks like and what it means to be a part of the family of God. We will be a family of love. The Lord says He is stirring the hearts of His people in this season to truly love one another. To walk in love in all that we do. To abide in a love that the world has yet to see and know. A love they will not understand but will desperately need. This love will bless your enemies and win the hardened hearts of many all over the world. Watch for the most calloused hearts to melt like wax in the presence of His love in and through us. This love will throw down the strongholds of fear in us and set at liberty others. This love is required of us and it runs deep. The evangelists are coming forth ignited for the lost and will lead the way for the greatest revival we have ever seen. Not only will it be within the church walls but will expand even into the streets. 

​God's family will be a family of the fiercest love. We are all evangelists, called to share the good news but there are those that have been appointed and anointed for this cause. His final words to me were this. It all started in love, will continue in love, and will finish with love. Your place in me, Bride of mine, is to remain in me. In remaining in me you remain in my love. For this is your abiding place in me, my love.
​ 
​I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in my love [and do not doubt my love for you]. ( John 15:9 AMP)

​I want to share about the words that have been ringing in my heart ever since I first heard the news of the Great Dr. Billy Grahams passing at 8am this morning. 

​I assure you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone [just one grain, never more]. But if it dies, it produces much grain and yields a harvest. ( John 12:24 AMP)

​Here the Lord is telling us what is next and the outpouring that is upon us even now.
It has begun!! It has begun!! It has begun!! O beloved Bride of Christ it has begun!! The greatest revival our eyes have seen, an outpouring of His Holy Spirit in the likes of which we have not seen, there is no point of reference for what is coming upon us in this hour. Get ready fro the King has found His dwelling place in the hearts of His loved ones. The King has found His resting place in the hearts of His dear ones and a fire is falling upon them that cannot be contained! It will increase and spread even out into the four corners of the earth until every ear has hears that Jesus is King! It's here!! It's here now!1 It has already begun! I'll be sharing some things that the Lord has shown me in the days and weeks coming. We must be positioned and stay positioned. I was given a vision during worship at my church on Sunday morning the 18th prior to this all taking place. God has shown me what this looks like and how He wants His Bride to be positioned and engaged. I'll share why the date He has shown this to me is significant and what we must do. So much more to come that I can't share it all now...

​Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:4 AMP)

I'm so excited to share this word that has been on my heart. I pray that it is such an encouragement to you and your household. It may be a bit lengthy but I can assure you it will be well worth your time. So go grab some coffee or tea, get comfortable, and expect the Lord to speak to you. Expect Him to ignite your heart with faith and hope to hold onto every promise He has whispered to your heart.

I was quite in shock at what the Lord was speaking to me. First of all when the Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs I had lost all interest in watching football. That was until January 20th when the Lord spoke to me. I want you to read the word and then we can begin to unpack it all just as the Lord did for me.

When the Eagles win know that my army is now positioned and authorized to be released! My eagles are going to devour the snakes. Children of mine know that you will now feast upon that which attempted to destroy you. What you gained in the last season was that which is of me is eternal and cannot be destroyed. My Church cannot be stopped or constrained. What you now understand is that My Kingdom and the citizens of this Kingdom are unshakeable and unstoppable. I am on their side.

You will now feed upon what tried to overtake you and destroy you. It has turned in your favor, the scales have been tipped, and the righteous are rewarded. What has pursued you, you will now pursue. You will recover all and more. You are stronger now but you are also wiser. You understand the importance of an ongoing communion with me, You have returned to your first love.

I can't tell you how excited I was in hearing these words from Him. Not only for me personally but for His Bride. The word Eagles was in plural form. This was a corporate army coming forth. This was His dearly beloved Bride that He was referring to. He was speaking to both you and I.

I then began to see a vision of many eagles soaring and as they were in flight they could see the enemy. In their seeing they were able to attack the enemy. I watched as they swept down and grabbed up many snakes and then devoured them. Let me tell you that this was no pretty sight. I do not like snakes and that is nothing that I want to see! It continued to play over and over in my mind until I received the message and wrote it all down. Thank God that image stopped.

The eagles were soaring above and the enemy was no where near them! They were attacking the snakes and the enemy had no chance. As I watched this take place I began to be very excited about what the Lord was saying to us. He then began to give me scriptures about what He was showing me and I began to pray into this word. The first one is found in Psalms 23:5.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil;
My cup overflows. (AMP)

God has prepared a place for you right in the midst of the enemy's attacks. The plans of the enemy have been thwarted and its all about to turn in your favor. Payday is here Bride of Christ! Don't give up now because you are on the threshold of a righteous and weighty reward. It's here! All the places that the enemy has opposed will now be blessed and favored by the Lord. Watch and see! God does not lie Church and He is neither mocked nor forgetful of His promises. You can take Him at His word!

Now I want to share a pretty amazing confirmation of this word from Him. The next thing I do after receiving these words from Him is begin searching to find out who is going to the Superbowl or where all that was since I haven't been watching. And to my surprise the very next day is Sunday and there would be a game with a team called the Eagles who would win a spot in the Superbowl! I could not believe how quickly the Lord was confirming His word. The word God gave said "when the Eagles win!" I knew He was saying that this game would be an outward sign of this word coming to pass very soon for all of us.

I told my husband and a few friends what the Lord had been speaking to my heart and we couldn't wait to see His sign! We even joked about how we should bet on the Eagles for the win but that was stated all in good fun. We knew that God would perform His word and we believed Him. On Superbowl Sunday we all knew that the eagles were going to win but that wasn't even all that happened on that day.

My family and I didn't even watch the Superbowl game. We caught the very end of the game at the 4th quarter. I know that sounds strange until you hear about this next part of what all transpired that day.Sunday after church we were all eating lunch and watching Facing the Giants. I wanted my children to finally watch this movie with us and it felt like the perfect time. We had tried several other times but for some reason it just never worked out. Timing is everything.

Maybe you remember this movie. it was one of my favorite inspirational films. I had forgotten that the team that played in that movie were named the Eagles, but God sure didn't. I sat there watching in awe of God and how clearly He wanted me to hear and see this word. I watched as the underdog team overtook the Champion team with God on their side. My whole family cheered and praised God in that moment! That's when my husband I thought of the Superbowl game. We rushed to turn it on just in time to see the game starting in the 4th quarter and sure enough we watched them win!

It was so exhilarating that I was literally flying around my living room when they won...may sound odd to some but I was in the spirit and flying on the word of the Lord. We all felt the joy and the presence of God in the room. That is just how we do it at the Verver home!  I can remember my whole body inside and out on fire. I could not stop flapping my wings as if I were an eagle soaring in that moment! It all sounds funny now but it was a very powerful moment. One my family wont forget! I'm telling you my spirit is still soaring from the word of the Lord and it wont be stopping anytime soon. His word is true!

I want to end with this. At the end of Facing the Giants, there is a part of the movie that the Lord highlighted to us. In the coaches home and on top of his mantle stood two championship trophies. And right in the middle of both trophies was a picture that said these words. The underdog team won against the Champions because God was with them and they gave Him all the glory!

But Jesus looked at them and said, 'With people [as far as it depends on them] it is impossible, but with God all things are possible." ( Matthew 19:26 AMP)

​What is being ignited in us is a faith and belief in God that will cause us to soar. We will know and understand that all things are possible with God. Impossible is nothing for Him. There is nothing that is too hard for our God! Get ready because you have your wings, the wind is coming, and you are taking flight in this next season that is here now. Fly Eagles Fly! God is with you, in you, and on your side. An army of angelic hosts are with us and we will see that those who have waited upon the Lord will not only run but soar to unbelievable heights!

​But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him]
​Will gain new strength and renew their power;
​They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun];
They will run and not become weary,
​They will walk and not grow tired. ( Is. 40:31 AMP)

As I set apart time at the beginning of the new year the Lord began to give me some understanding about what I had recently been going through in my ministry and personal life. I sensed a very strong presence of the Lord coming over me in those hours. He told me that this visitation was both to restore my vision and confidence for the coming year. He then began to explain to me how things were shifting for the body of Christ in this new year. I felt that many of us have experienced severe attacks and great opposition sent to derail us by the enemy. A myriad of so many unusual circumstances came at us from every direction, that at times it felt overwhelming. Yet, in the midst of it all we learned to praise and thank Him no matter what it looked like. We were strengthened in our devotion to His word and our love grew deeper. This was not meant to destroy or discourage us but rather to cause our roots and trust in Him to grow. What the enemy had meant to destroy us with, God had used it all for our good.

​We will now begin to see the strength that the Lord has forged in us through these fiery trials and the good the Lord had in mind all along. We will now see with a greater clarity the deeper work that has been taking place in our hearts and minds. Get ready to see further than you have ever imagined. Get ready for your vision to be ignited and your reality to be what the Lord has shown you. Go back to the promises that the Lord has given you and see them with fresh eyes in His perspective. The Lord is saying that 2018 will be a year in which we all see the new thing beginning. We will begin to grasp an understanding of what the Lord wants to accomplish in our lives corporately and individually. Part of this new beginning is seeing what the Father is doing and then joining Him in the work that He reveals to us. The new move of God and the new thing is being revealed. We have eyes to see it, the strength, and power to see it done.

​In the coming months of the new year set before us  a momentum will be gained and continue to grow within each month. We will reach a new climax by the time the clock strikes twelve in the next year.  Our seeing will stretch further and our strength will continue to grow. It is springing up and it is coming forth at a very fast pace. This scripture about seeing is taking place. The more we see, the further we will go.

​For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. (Isaiah 43:19 NLT)

​What we are beginning to understand is that we are the rivers that He is pouring out into the wastelands because we are truly understanding that we carry the answer to everything wrong in our world. This is exciting because the Body of Christ is now seeing who we really are and why we are!

​I had a dream on the first week of January that the Lord has now told me to share. I was waiting on the full interpretation to this dream. I had the dream after a time I spent asking the Lord what He had in mind for the righteous. Will we see recompense and restoration? Will we see the wrongs in our lives made right? That is when the Lord gave me a dream about the super hero Flash from the movie Justice League. I saw him moving so quickly and leaving a trail of fire behind him. I awoke to hear the Spirit say we are coming forth with speed and a momentum that cannot be stopped. What is coming upon us will cause us to move at a lightening quick pace.

​The very next day this dream was confirmed. Dutch Sheets posted on social media a decree that our time for this nation will be accelerated. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the picture that he posted looked exactly like the dream I had just had. I knew then that the Lord was telling me to get ready to share the word on my heart. I continued  to hear and see over and over the same scripture shared to describe what this momentum will grow and become. 

​Yes indeed, it won't be long now." God's decree. "Things are going to happen so fast your head will  swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once, and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like the wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I'll make everything right again for my people Israel: (Amos 9:13-14 MSG)

His Coming Justice League

​His army is arising and taking their ordained positions. We are joining hands in greater unity to reach further than we ever thought possible. His League of warriors in the likes of Supermen, Wonder women, Cyborgs, Aquamen, and Batmen. They are emerging in power, supernatural strength, and speed. Together they can get the job done and are uniting in their unique gifts and callings to accomplish His will and agenda. Think of this as the five fold ministry fully equipped and moving in the Flash's speed! They all move in rank and in unison. This will be in accordance to Joel's  army that we can read about in Joel chapter 2. I encourage you to study that in your own time in preparation to where we are headed, remember this has already begun.

​Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like swift steeds, so they run. With a noise like chariots over mountaintops they leap, Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, Like a strong people set in battle array. (Joel 2:4,5 NKJV)

​They are Joel's army brought together to carry out His mandate to bring His Kingdom come. His purpose is their purpose. They carry the heart of the Father. His dominion and authority is realized through them. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is in them and is now being seen. They are unstoppable. God is on the move and the Church is His vehicle. This vehicle is coming at a very accelerated speed.

​We all are now positioned to bombard the gates of hell on behalf of the sick and oppressed of the enemy. Miracles, signs, and wonders will be seen through our hands. His league of mighty warriors is executing His justice throughout all the land. The righteous are restored and they are freeing those who are bound in anyway. There is a celebration taking place in heaven and we are now 'seeing' that we are called and equipped for the time such as now. I will continue to unpack this word over the weeks and months to come as the Lord leads me to. I will also be sharing about a second dream I was given  and the sound that was heard. Rejoice Church and set aside time to see all that the Lord has in mind for you then be faithful to write it upon tablets that you may also run with it at lightning speed! Be encouraged that an old season has passed by and the new is here. In the coming year you will be restored, refreshed, and released for the assignments that he has in store for you. God is on our side and His decrees cannot be annulled!

And then God answered: "Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what's coming. It aches for the coming, it can hardly wait! And it doesn't lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. (Habakkuk 2:2,3 MSG)

​Jesus replied, "You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.
​Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means 'rock'), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven." (Matthew 16:18,19 NLT)




​

​  
​   You can ask for anything in My name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in My name. and I will do it!  (John 14:13,14 NLT)

​   That sounds simple, right? Ask God for whatever you want and you will have it?  We put constraints and limitations on what we ask God for. Do we simply find ourselves afraid or do we think that God doesn't care about our desires? That couldn't be farther from the truth! God wants us to have His absolute best! It's time for us to believe that He is a loving Daddy that gives more than we ask, think, or imagine! 

   ​Now to him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen. (Eph. 3:20,21 AMP)

​   God tells us to ask for our desires and assures us that we will receive beyond our wildest dreams. He makes it easy for us to believe when he gave His very best in His only Son Jesus. Knowing this, we come to Him boldly, confidently, and with great joy. Looking at the gift of His Son, we see....
​

• Jesus purchased our eternal life.​
• Jesus took our sin, guilt, and shame.
• Jesus freed us from bondage; emotionally, financially, and relationally. In every area of our lives.
• Jesus gave us perfect health, total happiness, and absolute success.
• Jesus granted us complete victory over the enemy.

 
  Beloved know you are adored by Him. He is leaning in to hear your prayers and finds delight in giving you His Kingdom. Knowing the perfect gift of Jesus gives you the confidence to ask for all the longings in your heart.

​  ​​So don't be afraid,​ little flock. ​For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. (Luke 12:32 NLT)

Join me in praying.
  
​   Father God I thank you that I become bold and confident in approaching you. That I see I am loved, adored by you, and precious in your sight. Father I open my heart to receive this. Thank you that my prayer life is becoming ignited and exhilarating! Thank you for loving me so much. In His Holy name we pray. Amen, amen, amen.

​While I wanted to post this blog on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday yesterday, it is never to late to share a word on your heart. We have such exciting times just ahead of us that my heart is bursting with anticipation at what the Lord has in store for His bride in this new year. We will get to more of this in a bit because first I want to share an amazing experience I just recently had, as well as a very challenging word for your heart. I know it's challenging because when the Lord first spoke it  to me, it challenged my heart and everything I stood for.

​I had been waiting and praying for a few years when the Lord first spoke to my heart about the kind of outreach ministry He was calling me into. I wrestled with whether I could do what He was asking of me and if I was brave enough to return to  the places of utter darkness I would much rather leave completely behind. I couldn't shake the beckoning and the sound of the cries of the hurting, hopeless, and desperate hearts that needed Him.

​I finally gave in. I would go. I would allow God to plan my steps and the type of ministry He had in mind for me, no matter what it was or what it would cost me. I came to grips with the truth that it may cost my reputation, there may even be battles on the frontlines, and I would need to get use to a continual lifestyle of prayer and fasting. There would be no way around this.

​What was this calling that God had so deeply stirred in my heart you may be wondering? A calling to reach the broken and hurting girls in the strip clubs of DFW. I quickly learned that this new big city that the Lord had called us to and fought for us to arrive in was the place it would all truly begin. Nothing could prepare me for the first night I would step into what I had waited so long for. Purpose was moments away and the night before I was sick in bed like nothing I have ever felt before. Every moment that I woke up, my Pastor had told me to speak to my body and press through. That in pressing through there would be a great harvest. She was right and God was Faithful. Don't ever think the promiseland of purpose is going to come without a fight because that is far from  the truth. But remember, that He has gone before you and His plans are already established. Nothing that God has ordained can stop His plans from coming to pass. Read it and believe it for yourself in Isaiah 14:27

The Lord of Heaven's Armies has spoken- who can change His plans?
When His hand is raised, who can stop Him?  (NLT)

I love the message translation:

​"Exactly as I planned, it will happen.
Following my blueprints, it will take shape.

​There is no room for doubt and unbelief in the face of contradicting circumstances with the truth of His word like that. And that settled it for me. I knew that somehow and someway that God would get me up from the sickness and I would be going. We were scheduled to go on December 29th and would be meeting at a church together to be anointed with oil and prayed over before going.

​It is amazing how when we just simply say yes to God's plans, how well he takes care of everything that concerns it coming to pass. He has the perfect plan and the way to make it happen. Just say Yes! It wasn't long after we said yes to selling our home and moving to Fort Worth that everything began to fall into place for His will to be established. I remember sitting down with Pastor Robin and sharing my heart about the mission that we in Wonder Women were called to. Upon the launching of the Wonder Women Ladies Bible study in September of last year, the Lord continued to lead us forth into this mission field in His grace and favor. It was amazing how quickly God connected us to the woman we would be partnering with. That powerful woman of God was Gina Hurd. Gina had been faithfully serving on this mission field for now eight years and had continued to plow and plow into the territory of DFW.

​Before I continue with the story of a life changing event, I want to say to you that God will bring to pass the promises and words that He has deposited and spoken into your heart. Every single one will be just how He has spoken it. You see, before any connections with this mission field the Lord spoke to me concerning the city He had called us into and told me of  the strongholds that we would be facing. On September 10th in the evening after prayer, a strong spirit of intercession came over me as I was looking into the clubs that were located in our city. I began to weep and travail in the spirit at the utter darkness that these girls lived in. The Lord then spoke to me very clearly; daughter there is a spirit of perversion and a spirit of seduction in the sex industry in DFW. I am joining forces to bring them down and there will be a harvest in these cities. I'm bringing a strong agreement that will plunder the enemie's camp. He has already begun to bring these forces together and we are going to see the restoration of many lives redeemed! We can even see the restoration of families that these spirits have torn up through the daughters and the men that endorse them. But something far greater is being released and the enemy has no idea what surprises our Father God has coming. Glory to God in the highest!!

​God's plans cannot be hindered and as he would have it I did get to go and I'm so thankful because I will never be the same. So there we are dressed in all black with boots, and gifts for His daughters. Because of all the faithfulness and favor of the Lord, we are able to go straight back into the dressing rooms of some of the most broken hearted, hurting, and desperate women. Only you wouldn't think it on the outside, but you could see it in their eyes. I felt the pain of this one girl as she held me tight and didn't want to let me go. You have to know because of the secrecy of what we are doing for them, we are not allowed to stay long.

​I'll tell you a story of the girl who crushed my heart. It was the last club we went into. Gina had given us instruction on what we are to do. Go to the girl you feel drawn to and pull out the gift in the bag and hand it to her. As soon as we got in there was this girl who was just so beautiful and yet there was something about her. So I go to her and then I open my bag. I look into it and I see that there are diamonds in my bag. You know, the beautiful pretend ones that girls like on their keychains, well I pull it out to give to her when the Lord spoke to me. He told me not to tell her that she is beautiful because she knows this and has been told this her whole life. I reached for her hand and opened it up as I placed the diamond in  it. As I closed her hand over it I said "I'm not going to tell you that you are beautiful although you are. but rather that there is so much good in you and so much potential that you couldn't even imagine. You are a diamond. It's in there and I'm going to be praying that it would be seen." She looked right at me and I could see the tears welling up in her eyes and mine  as well. It all happened so fast and right before I had to go, I asked if I could hug her. As I hugged her I told her that God loved her and that I loved her and that  I really meant it. She wouldn't let me go but then we had to go. I didn't want to leave her there. That moment crushed me and I can still see her beautiful face and feel the tightness of her hug as she held onto me. And then as I looked back at her I'll never forget the painful look in her eyes.

​I know that everyone was changed that night. I know that my Pastor Robin Bohlin had said that she could literally feel her heart bursting from her chest. It was so hard to allow your heart to broken for them, but it was really God's love for them gripping us. At one point as we were rushed out of the club she reached back and gripped my hand. It was right when she did that I needed it the most. It was a squeeze of my hand to say we can do this and it will all be worth it. You see in this kind of outreach you will never know the effects of what you did. You may never know how putting that crown on her head, placing a diamond in her hand, or simply a hug to say you care will forever change her life. You won't know this side of heaven but you will on the other side. But Isn't that what Jesus said we are here to do? Let's look at Matthew 25:34-36,40

​"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.' 

​"And the King will say, 'I tell you the truth, when you did it to the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!'

​You see according to this word we were all placing gifts in the hands of Jesus and our hugs and love was received that night by the King of all Kings. There could be no greater purpose than to love on Him by loving on others. My heart was changed even more that night and I will tell you next time just how much and I will reveal something that Lord spoke to my heart. It completely changed everything and it brought about an even deeper commitment to follow Him even into the darkest places, The very places that Jesus would be going if He was here in flesh and blood. But Oh Church He is very much here!
 
​What happened that night was a prophetic sign of the church being crowned and positioned. As God would have it, the night He had us going and placing crowns on their heads and diamonds in their hands was Tevet 1 on the Hebrew calendar. This was the very day that the Queen Esther received her Royal crown in Jewish history!! She was hand picked by God and bestowed with His beauty, grace and favor. Only God could have planned that! He is calling His Bride out of the darkness, out of their sorrow, and brokenness. He is going into the most unusual and unexpected places to gather His beloved. It is about to be an amazing sight to behold!

​I want to invite you to get involved in helping us bring purpose, hope, and love to some broken hearts in desperate need of the truth that God loves them. Please share this and join us in the calling to bring His marvelous light into darkness. We are in prayer for partners that can donate funds and prayer and intercession. Together, we can accomplish more than we ever thought possible! With God going before us and with us, there is no doubt in my heart that we are going to see the unexpected and the unexplainable! Look what God has done and Glory to God will be the praise on our lips!

​Please visit Gina Hurd's website @ www.queenestheroutreach.org for all the information on how you can get involved. There is a part for all of us to do.  We are praying and believing for more partners and resources in order to bring these girls hope, love, and special gifts that we have anointed and prayed over prior to distributing them. Perhaps you will partner through intercession for the  encounters or agreement for His signs and wonders in the clubs? Whatever it is that you are being stirred to do, I know it will be needed. God is up to BIG plans this year and it's all really beginning!! There will be a love revival and outpouring of His spirit flooding into the streets for His lost sons and daughters like we have never experienced before. The time is now to  jump in the river!! We can talk more about the outpouring and the arrival of his Glory another time. All I can say is we had better get ready, be ready, and stay ready!

Be encouraged because there is a DAWNING of a NEW DAY upon us,
Love you all!!

  
​​​   There is something so beautiful about the Christmas season and everyone, whether grown or child can feel the excitement in the air at this time of year. We are busy with shopping and getting ready for family and loved ones to visit, The beauty of the decorated Christmas trees and the sparkle in the children's eyes are enough to make this time of year wonderful, but as Christians we celebrate the birth of the greatest gift of all, the Lord Jesus Christ, and his arrival bringing hope, peace, and joy to all mankind. What a celebration that must have been as the Angels above sang out!

​   That night there were shepherds staying in the fieldsnearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior, yes, the Messiah, the Lord, has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger."
​   Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others, the armies of heaven, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased." Luke 2 : 8-14 NLT

​   Wow! What good news the birth of Jesus brought and what rejoicing the angels ushered His arrival with! We also, rejoice in the joy of our salvation as we celebrate Jesus's birthday. We gather with our lovd ones with joy and celebration, thanking God for loving us all so much. it was the Father God's love for us that compelled His heart to give to us the greatest gift of all in His Son Jesus Christ. What a beautiful time of joy, thankfulness, and even rededication to the Lord as we rejoice with full hearts.

​   As if there would be anything else needed to make this season more wonderful than it already is, and the Lord indeed had something in mind. The aligning of the Festival of lights which is Hanukkah and Christmas! Yes, he had something so special in mind for the ushering in of His heavenly plan. We are embarking on the season of His government plan being established, and God is announcing it's arrival loud and clear with a very special alignment of times.

​   All through the month of December from the 1st until the 29th the Hebrew calendar will be perfectly aligned with our calendar, the Gregorian calendar. Not only that but Hanukkah begins on Christmas Eve too!! This hasn't happened since 1978 and won't happen again until 2027. What is God saying through this alignment?

​   First the Lord spoke to me about a season of coming into our true identity, becasue we are neither Jew or Gentile but through Christ have been made into a new creation, a new man. Our Jewish heritage hold so many mysteries about who we are and what is ours. Knowing this heritage aligns us to walk in the blessings of our Father of faith Abraham. I believe that God is announcing the greatest wealth transfer that is coming upon the Church, His Royal Bride. Can you hear the sound of an abundance of rain? God has a plan of justic for every injustice, every place of sacrifice, every seed you sowed in tears, and everything you stood believeing for. Harvest time eventually comes! Could this be announcing it's arrival!! YES!!

​   Here are some scriptures the Lord has put on my heart for opening your heart to receive this new season of alignment that is coming quickly.

​   The time will come, "says the Lord, "when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they are harvested. Then the terrace vineyards on the hills of Israel will drip with sweet wine! I will bring my exiled people of Israel back from distant lands, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again. They will plant vineyards and gardens; they will eat their crops and drink their wine. I will firmly plant them there in their own land. They will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them," says the Lord your God.    Amos 9:13-15 NLT

​   Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.  Gal. 3: 14

​   So how can we celebrate these joyous times and enter into this special season the Lord has purposed for us? Do something you normally wouldn't do! Light a menorah on Christmas Eve, share the miraculous stories of both our Savior's birth and the Maccabees. These are some things the Lord has put on my heart to do with my friends and loved ones. This is a season unlike any before, so be sure and celebrate that. The year following this announcement will be unprecdented! That is the word that the Lord gave me for 2017! A banner year and one that will be UNPRECEDENTED, but more about that next time as we celebrate the new year next month! And a sneak peek into our long awaited news concerning our published book coming soon!!

​I want to hear your thoughts about this special season. How has God been showing you or speaking to you about the time we are in and even coming into? Throughout this month be looking forward to the many more confirmations to the season that is upon us. A season of alignment with His plans and purpose, a time of miracles, and great favor!! Rejoice and again I say REJOICE!
