New Word...

Only a bit ago, the Lord instructed me that He wants me to begin telling of my thoughts for the Nations and His people.  And specifically, to be confident that my "thoughts" are prophetic and not simply my own.

A new season is here - and many have felt it.  We've felt the shift; we've felt the change... and even if we didn't know what the change was specifically, I know many of us have anticipated it for years now.

This season... while truthfully is indeed a season unto itself, it is actually a season of preparation.  It is preparation for a greater, more spectacular season to come.

And in the spirit of "preparation" there is most obviously much training and pruning taking place.  But there is also elevation and placement.  There is also protection and favor.  And, oddly enough, there is also restoration, opportunity and wealth transfer.  Finally, there is growth, revelation and transition into the Supernatural.

These aspects of what I see as "steps of preparation" may seem disjointed in my limited explanation, but I see a picture more clearly now - a picture that once began with the simple word: "infiltration."

So, in the first, I will describe the season to come - the season of which we are being prepared for, and then perhaps the details of our preparation will seem clearer as well.

The Lord our God is truly beginning to pour out His Spirit upon His sons and daughters in a much greater degree than ever before.  Periodic and previous revelations of the church will be revitalized and revisited and there will be so much more.  We are being prepared for a spiritual battle.  We are being prepared for the beginning of the end.

These are the last days of the last of the Last Days.  This is the beginning of the End of Days - the beginning of the latter days.  We are the generations before the last generations that will see the coming of the Christ.   

I believe that if my son, who is 6 as of the date of this writing, were to be blessed to see the fullness of all his days, plus - he will see the coming of the Lord before all 120 years.  I believe these babies are the last of the babies to be born on this earth... but how many babies constitute the last?  Perhaps my son will be the oldest of this generation - this last generation.  This I cannot say for sure, but I say it as an illustration of how close I believe the end of times acturally are.

And satan knows this better than I.

Do not be misled - these earthquakes in diverse places are THE "earthquakes in divers places."  These wars and rumors of wars are THE "wars and rumors of wars."

We have been in the last days - the 7th day - since the disciples first said so.  But sunset is coming soon.  I see the color of the sky changing... and even darkening.

In fact, the powers of darkness are pitching their last ditch efforts as if they do not know the outcome.

And God is preparing us like never before.  We are the generation to train those who are to come and who are to remain when Christ comes again.  The Lord has called us a generation of "Josephs and Esthers"  who are currently in training so that we can train up the "Benjamin Generation" that is here and is to come.  They will truly be a generation that will know the battle is not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities.  The Benjamin Generation will be true Spiritual Warriors greater in battle very nearly than even the angels.

And we, leaders of today who hear with a rhema ear and live in the revelatory word of God, we are their teachers.  And we are being prepared.

Now more than any church movement in history - including the dawn of the early church after Pentecost - now is the time when we will learn to manifest the fullness of God's word in ways we cannot yet fully comprehend.  We will begin to walk in ALL the power, authority, dominion and Spirit of God that the Word seems to only hint about.

But the manifestation of ALL will come with the outpouring of God's Spirit.

  • ALL will be healed who have a need of healing.
  • Multitudes will be saved and delivered like never before
  • Devils will be exposed and cast out
  • Creative, extraordinary miracles will be performed
  • Waters will be walked upon
  • The dead will be resurrected - before the coming of Christ.
  • People will be translated from place to place supernaturally
  • Believers will become supernaturally wealthy
  • Believers will have resources that the world cannot get anywhere else
  • Believers will hold positions of power, leadership and authority in diverse places
  • Soccer Moms will heal broken bones on the field
  • Whole communities and towns will come to salvation
  • "Commoners" will hold positions of respect and reverence amongst great men and women of the world.
  • Regular people will begin to do these and even the "greater than these" things Jesus talked about, and they will teach others how to do them as well.
And because of all of this, Believers will be greatly, greatly persecuted.  Not to worry though... God will still favor us to be the heads and not the tails, the lenders and not the borrowers.  It will infuriate the powers of darkness that rule the world.  But we will maintain, exercise and teach the power we have over the powers of the enemy.

And so we are being prepared in this season.  Our faith is being prepared - the kind of faith that when spoken, manifests that word into the instant and physical representation of that word - just like the God whose image we are created in.

Our belief is being prepared.  A belief that says yes, I can be translated instantly from California to the slave-trade streets in Thailand to save a soul; or to a hospital room across town to heal a child.  It is a belief that knows Christ's death on the cross was also for our prosperity so that the wealth of the world's Billionaires can be supernaturally transferred to us to feed hungry souls that cannot afford it when bread costs a day's wage.

Do you have an ear to hear?

If what I've written seems like utter nonsense and the ramblings of a spiritually delusional and theologically uneducated woman, then you will not be a leader in this generation of preparation.

But if you've felt a pull of understanding and a tug of connection... welcome to the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.  His Kingdom has come.  His will shall be done.  On Earth as it is in Heaven.  And the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony will overcome the world. 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Destiny's Journey


Some journeys are well traveled roads. Common, familiar and easy. We cruise along the path oblivious to the process as we habitually turn each corner, climb each hill and break each slope. Only to arrive, blink and wonder how we managed without incident or memory of the trip.

This journey - my journey - is not like that. This journey is one of reluctance, hesitance, unsurity, insecurity and yes, a moderate amount of fear.

As I open the window for you to view my progress, you will undoubtedly come to your own conclusion based upon the progress of your own journey - and your observations will be varied.

Some might say that I am making slow but steady progress toward a clear destination. Others may say that I am floundering and wandering aimlessly down a muddy road with too many directions to choose from.

I say my journey has just begun, although it started more than 10 years ago. I say I still have such a long, long way to go, although I am teetering on the precipice of completion. I say the journey has made me weary, leery and weak, although I trudge on with a strength and endurance that is beyond me. I say the path is muddy, with many obstacles, directions and difficulties still yet to come. However, my destination is clear - crazy, unimaginable, overwhelming and clear.

When this path first appeared it was like a hazy, dirt road on a foggy day. I peered at it without knowing what it was or where it was going - then tried to ignore it as inconsequential. When the path persisted I joked as to where it might lead, then still tried to dismiss it as a path not meant for me.

It was years before the view of the path cleared and I was able to see the destination more clearly. It was absurd to think that the reality of where this path could end up would be in a place far more outlandish than even my most absurd imaginings! OK, maybe - just maybe this path ended up in a very good place - but a place still not meant for me. Definitely not me.

Why not me? Who else but me, since I was the only one to see? Please, Dear God, not me! Yes, me. This path was meant for me.

And so I watched it, argued with it, denied it and tried to imagine a life without pursuing it.

Four - no five, has it already been five? Five years ago I accepted it. I stuck out a big toe like testing the cold water of a pool - then yanked my foot back like I so often would. I wrote about it, dreamed about it, and tried it on for size in the privacy of my dressing room of life. And by the way, I still watched it, argued with it, denied it and tried to imagine a life without pursuing it.

Three - sorry, I forgot - Four years ago I made up my mind. I packed my bags, said good bye to the sanity and sanctuary of friends and family who always had thought they understood me, and I took my first hesitant and frightened step.

In these last four years I have walked, sometimes trotted, but never quite run toward a goal I think is crazy. I have stopped, I have even sat down and I have wistfully looked back to a time when I did not know and could not see what was meant for me.

But I will not stop. I packed my bags (all my baggage), and made up my mind. Armed with nothing but 2 scriptures and a great deal of hope, I continue to trudge on driven by the surity that if - just if - I happen to arrive at this awesome, fearsome destination, it will be extraordinary, phenomenal and inconceivably wonderful. This destination...

A destination, a journey to a place that is called destiny. My destiny. Destiny's purpose in life. My God given purpose.

Sometimes while we travel, we see another driver, glance in that direction and never take note or give them another thought. Perhaps that is how you will see me.

Sometimes we see another traveler and something catches our eye. We may watch a moment, muse a moment or even briefly wonder... Then they continue on their own separate way and thoughts of them fade as quickly as they do. Perhaps that will be how you see me.

Other times we get caught in traffic, bunched up with drivers because of fate. And whether we cruise along peacefully or struggle with road rage, we share a community of progress, each with our own destination. Perhaps that will be how you experience me.

And on rare occasion on our own individual roads of life, we travel a path where we encounter another driver - seemingly traveling to the same basic place. At times they follow us and then we follow them. We may take note of who they are and what they drive - possibly even read a licence plate. We'll share a moment or even a long while - silently and separately together, with maybe a glance, a smile or a brief a wave of acknowledgement. Perhaps that will be how you experience me.

I cannot say how long this path will be for me, so whether you glance and move on - never to take notice; or whether you wonder a moment at who I am and where I'm going; or whether you follow a while, smile and wave or better yet, if you decide to stay for the journey, I invite you to come along for the ride.
