The Glass Ceiling is Breaking!

Many of us have faced difficult circumstances the past few years and disappointment after disappointment. It’s been hard to get our hope up, but
God is the God of the impossible! Our best days are ahead and the glass ceiling is breaking!
“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matt. ‭19‬:‭26‬ ‭

God is Resetting the Church

Five years ago, I had a dream that the Lord was resetting the Church. It was very vivid with the Pope dying, (he died last year). God is resetting the whole Church. As we see ministers fall, churches shaken, and the Body of Christ grieve, God is purifying His Bride. We are no longer going to have celebrity pastors and put anyone on a pedestal. God is jealous for us and wants a personal relationship with each of us. This means we seek Him daily in the Word and prayer. Man doesn’t have the answers, God does! This doesn’t mean we can’t hear from others. We need the Body of Christ, but we’ve gone for too long from conference to conference, podcast to podcast, prophet to prophet, etc. seeking answers when God wants to meet these first and foremost. Choose this day whom you will serve! In God’s mercy, He’s shaking everything that can be shaken to bring us fully to Him. He loves us more than words can say and He wants to show us His love individually as we seek Him. Our best days are ahead and God truly has a future and a hope for each of us!
Dream/Word I had from 1/29/21- <a href="https://www.facebook.com/heather.poundstone.1/posts/pfbid02syUoQjefdSMe2FDfDwVry2CoBfTcPWK7tb6Gf5dWPgaSvDUkngFDzfLYcmU2KnqEl">https://www.facebook.com/heather.poundstone.1/posts/pfbid02syUoQjefdSMe2FDfDwVry2CoBfTcPWK7tb6Gf5dWPgaSvDUkngFDzfLYcmU2KnqEl</a>

Look for the Gold!

On New Year’s Eve, during worship, I had a vision of a vein of gold in a rock. It’s not easy to extract this gold, the rock must be crushed. The Lord showed me that many of us were crushed last year as God was extracting the gold.
Yesterday, I was going through my list of all the good things that happened in my life last year. I have been writing a list of the good things that happen weekly for several years. We often forget both the big and small things God does. If anyone looked at this long list of good things, you’d think I’d had the best year of my life. It changed my perspective and the Lord reminded me of the gold in the rock. Let’s change our perspective and look at the gold in our lives. We may not see it right away, sometimes the rock is being crushed before the gold appears. At times it takes longer than we’d like, but God always works all things out for good for those who love Him! (Romans 8:28)

Encouraging Prophetic Dreams

I’ve had several prophetic dreams and visions in the past week as I have pressed even deeper into the Lord. God is no respecter of persons and He wants to speak to all of us like this.   Last night, I had four dreams!  I will share a few of them here with a word from the Lord for all of us.
In one of the dreams, I dreamed one of my friends from church was getting married and a bunch of us were there celebrating.  These are not close friends, but I went to the rehearsal dinner and sat with some people I know.  These people do not seek the Lord deeply.  People were giving speeches and making people laugh. The bridesmaids were walking around proud of their role. The Lord reminded me of the story of the ten virgins. We must have our oil ready and cannot rely on anyone else’s.  This means seeking the Lord individually and not always having to be fed elsewhere.  We must allow the Lord to humble us, be repetent, and walk in forgiveness.
In another dream I’m at an event on New Year’s Eve like a prophetic event with Nate Johnston. I’m there with a bunch of people I know from church over the years, but most I’m not close to. I hear some say there’s another party in a high rise hotel. At first I didn't want to go, but then I changed my mind. I try to find out where the party is from some people I’ve known in the past, but are not deeply following the Lord. I don’t hear back from them, which is probably for the better. I’m better off staying at the first event seeking the Lord and normally these are the events I choose. We must make better choices to go after the Lord, rather than what seems fun and is ultimately dangerous.  When we seek Him, the more we will draw closer to the Lord.  He is far more fun anyway!
In another dream I’m at a party on a high hill with incredible views. I look outside and two Good Year blimps are flying by. I am excited and tell people this is how God speaks to me. Then the sky is full of many, many colorful hot air balloons. I walk past people to take a video and pass someone holding three babies. I have had many encounters with Good Year blimps where they have followed me or been in the right place at the right time.  Each time, the Lord told me it would be a good year.  Last year was one of the hardest years for many of us.  What a blessing the Lord would speak like this at the beginning of this year and that it will be a good year.  On top of this, there are two Good Year blimps, which speaks of double blessings! The hot air balloons and babies means God is taking us to the high places with colorful beauty. The three babies speak of the trinity and new birth.
In another dream, my principal is pregnant and I paint her belly red cause her red dress is faded. She’s naming her baby Lily and excited to take a 30 week maternity leave.
Babies speak of new birth and red speaks of Jesus’ blood. Lily makes me think of the Bible verses, Lily of the valley in Song of Solomon 2:1 and also Matthew 6:28- Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin.  The rest of this chapter is powerful and speaks of not worrying as God will provide for all of our needs.  Later, I read Matthew 6 as this was one of my Bible readings for today in the Read the Bible in a Year program I am doing. Only God could orchestrate this so beautifully! God has spoken so much to me through the number 30 in dreams, the word, miracles and revelation.  Jesus was 30 when He began His ministry and there are many significant Biblical chapters and significance with the number 30.
Lastly, I had a vision of blue and white glass during worship. It made me think of all the supernatural times in the past few years where glass has broken and the Lord saying that He is breaking the glass ceiling in our lives.  Recently my car windshield cracked and at first I was annoyed, but God is always speaking, even through the hard things.  He is bringing upgrades for those who diligently seek Him.  Ask the Lord to speak to you through your dreams, visions, circumstances, throughout the day, through His Word, during worship, and prayer.  As you seek the Lord, He will meet you.  He is not looking for those who seek Him perfectly.  I haven’t, yet He is a faithful God and He longs to have a relationship with His Bride!  He wants this above anything we do, first and foremost.  Put Jesus first and everything else will follow!

Prophetic Dreams

I had three back-to-back dreams about revival last night. In the first dream, I was driving in a city with my prayer partner on our way to a revival meeting. This was a city that needed revival and we were praying. Suddenly, it started raining, got cold, and then started snowing. It was very unusual cause it was the middle of June and summertime. We thanked God and prayed for the purification of this city.
In the second dream, we were at a revival meeting and there were many crowds waiting for the next service. People were listening to the current service in line while they waited. They were taking communion, which I was helping with. Some people tried to run in ahead of time. We had to track them down and bring them back out.
In the last dream, I was at a house that was hosting families in ministry for a dinner. There were lots of flowers which we put in vases for the dinner. One of the women was cooking sweets with her grandchildren in preparation. Another large woman filled a huge vat with red juice and was dyeing a large garment that she was sewing. The juice spilled on me and I went to wash my hands in the sink where the grandma was cooking, careful to avoid getting water on her sweets. She was full of joy!
These dreams have several meanings of the importance of prayer, the cleansing and purification the Lord is bringing in this revival, and unusual signs and wonders. It’s not going to look like it has before and we must be careful to look at what God is doing, not ruling out the impossible.
There is a great hunger for the Lord in this revival and the crowds remind me of the Asbury revival where people had to take turns to go inside the sanctuary.
Communion is at the center of this revival and the power of the blood of Jesus!
The Lord is preparing us for the marriage supper of the lamb, where He’s bringing families together, both natural and Spiritual. He is revealing the beauty and sweetness of the Lord and bringing great joy! Be encouraged, God is on the move! Seek Him in all of these things and watch what He will do!!

Beauty from Ashes

As I was praying, I had a vision of a Kintsugi bowl. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of fixing broken bowls with gold, silver, or platinum. These broken pieces become even more beautiful and valuable. This is what God is doing in our lives. He’s healing the broken areas and making them more beautiful. It’s beauty from ashes.
Some of us didn’t think we’d survive the onslaught of warfare and stripping away, but in God’s mercy, He is taking away everything that we don’t need for this next season. He’s the master potter, molding us into something beautiful. Allow Him to shape you, however painful. He is replacing the ashes with pure gold. He loves you and He has a future and a hope for you!! Put your eyes on Jesus, He loves you more than you can ever know!

Acceleration of the Lord

As I was seeking the Lord, I had a vision of a portal. This portal was moving quickly. I felt the Lord speaking that He is accelerating things in our lives. The enemy has stolen much in the past several years, but he has to repay it sevenfold as it says in scripture.
Amos 9 speaks of blessings above and beyond what we expect. As we seek the Lord first in all things, He will bring recompense and strategy. It’s not going to look like what we expected. The revival He’s been bringing in the past month through a martyr is an example of this. Don’t put God in a box. Seek Him, trust Him, and be obedient to what He tells you. We are living in the greatest days where we will see the greatest Harvest, the greatest provision, and promises fulfilled. Our families will be saved, there’ll be greater marriages and families, provision for Kingdom purposes, callings fulfilled, and everything we need to do God’s will.
Nothing has been wasted, like the alabaster jar. It’s all been preparation for such a time as this for those who love and seek Jesus. Level up your prayer life, your time in the Word of God, your worship. This is not Christianity as we’ve known it. God isn’t playing games anymore. Get right with God and watch what He’ll do!!

God is Redeeming Time

In the past couple of days, I’ve glanced at the clock only to find it was earlier than I expected and not as much time had passed as I’d thought. I feel like the Lord is saying He’s redeeming time. We’ve gone through several hard years and are still in the thick of it, but God is a redeemer of all things. We haven’t lost anything, in fact we’ve gained far more. Continue to seek Him first and watch God redeem it all, abundantly and far more than we could ever ask for. He is a good Father for those who obey and seek Him with all their heart. His ways are far above ours and His promises are to give us a future and a hope!!

The Great Harvest

Are we willing to be bold for the gospel? The Lord has had me read about the great revivalists in the past few years and learn from what they did right as well as where they went wrong. Many of them were persecuted greatly for sharing the gospel, yet had tremendous fruit in leading many to the Lord. One of my favorite stories is Brother Yun’s story as told in the book The Heavenly Man. I remember reading this book and sobbing and telling Jesus that I was willing to do anything for Him. I asked for preparation and this is what these last several years have been. Each year hasn’t been easier, but we have grown stronger if we have pressed into Jesus. All of this has been our relationship with Jesus and to purify us above all else and above anything we do for Him.
Christians are called to share the gospel. Are we willing to do this above all? Above all our disagreements and follow the full Word of God? I was saved out of atheism and a very difficult childhood at age 17 because a girl in high school who didn’t like me was obedient to the Lord and invited me to church. I am forever grateful for her obedience and for how Jesus has healed and set me free. Pray about who the Lord may be leading you to share the gospel with and where He is leading you. He does things in the most unexpected ways to bring revival as we have seen recently. He brings beauty from ashes and things are not always as they seem. He is a good, good Father!
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, “Matthew 5:10

Deep Calls Unto Deep

I had a prophetic dream three days before Charlie Kirk's assasination that pointed to the things we have seen in the aftermath. I had a dream of being at a black tie event where a creek was overflowing with water. A bunch of young people jumped in the water. Myself and some of the older people wondered what they were doing, but we were soon swept up in the water as well. I felt it spoke to the cleansing of the Holy Spirit, letting go and trusting God, and the abundance of God.
I see now that God is bringing us into His deep waters of the Spirit, starting with the young people, and transferring to the older. This is what myself and many people have contended for many years. We never could have imagined it would happen in the way it has, but God creates beauty from ashes. May this not stop and may we all go deeper and deeper as God brings in the greatest Harvest of all time!
D﻿ream from 9/7/25-
Last night I dreamed I was at an event for an organization that helps people heal from trauma with Holy Spirit’s help. (This is an actual event I will be attending next month and has been in my prayers).
As people were arriving, I was standing on the street with the leader helping. Suddenly, we noticed a bunch of young people had jumped in the water of a creek which was overflowing with water. At first we were annoyed as this was a black tie event. Soon there was water everywhere, even on the street we stood on and we began swimming too. I started introducing the leader to some of my friends who were arriving and swimming, but also wondering how we’d get dressed again for the event.
Water speaks of moving in the Holy Spirit and having to let go and trust God. Deep calls into deep. It also speaks of cleansing and healing, which is what this organization is about. The abundance of water speaks of the abundance God wants to bring in healing by soaking in His Spirit. When we let go and let His cleansing water heal us, He will do in an instant what normally would take years to heal, if ever

Seek His face

The Lord is not a puppet, healing or doing our bidding at will. He heals, saves, and delivers, but above all He wants a personal relationship with each of us. It’s not about what He does, as much as who He is. Seek His face. Behold Him. All else will follow!!

West Coast Rumble

I had a dream last night that I’m watching “West Side Story” and it’s the scene of the rumble. Immediately I woke up and felt the Lord say it’s the West Coast’s time. This is for revival and also the political arena. There’ll be a fight, but it’ll be worth it in the end. Keep fighting and praying. It may look dark on many fronts, but as we fight and pray, God will have the victory! There are no lost causes, pray for CA and the West Coast, it will transform our whole nation!!

God is Bringing People into Family

I had a dream last night that was powerful! I’m at a mountain community and it’s beautiful and green. We go to a place to get supplies with a little girl who wants baby powder and oil.
Then I’m at a retreat for Christian’s. Each single person has to choose a number to wear that symbolizes a word they think describes them. There’s married couples too. Someone says there’ll be someone there to actively try to break people up; to prevent singles from marriage and break up current marriages too.
God is bringing us to the high places, full of abundance and beauty. He is bringing us into our promises. It is led by children and the abundance of oil. We must have the oil and be prepared like the parable of the ten virgins.
The retreat speaks of the plan of the Lord to bring singles into marriage and strengthen marriages. However, there has been a plot of the enemy to prevent and destroy marriages. There have never been more singles in the history of time. There is also an attack on marriages and more marital problems, divorce than ever before. We must be vigilant to seek Jesus to combat this.
Lord, I break off the curse of singleness over this generation in Jesus’ name. I prophesy more marriages and healed marriages in Jesus’ name! God loves marriage and said it is not good for man to be alone. Not only does He want to see more marriage, healthy families, but more children. Children are a blessing and not a curse. They are not too expensive or a burden. This is a lie of the enemy! I have seen over and over that when people choose to have or adopt as many children as they want, God provides everything they need. Lord, we pray abundance over marriages, children, and families in Jesus’ name!

The Great Stripping

The Great Stripping-
<a href=""></a>The past 5 years have been very difficult as God has allowed much to be stripped away from us. He’s shaken things to separate the wheat from the tares. It’s been extremely painful, but the beauty He’s producing from the ashes is worth it. The deepness in Him is worth it.
Each year has in many ways been harder than the year before, but as we’ve gotten stronger, we’re able to withstand the storms when we press into Jesus. We’re not even halfway through this year and there’s been major betrayal, rejection, lost relationships, and heartbreak in many of our lives. But God! When we think we can’t go on, He gently leads us to Him. The one who comforts, has the answers, and wants to be our ultimate guide. He wants to lead us and be our all in all. He doesn’t want the busyness, the platforms, or anything that’s not of Him. We need to be more like Mary, sitting at His feet. It doesn’t mean we do nothing, but it must be led by Him!
Jesus said He only did what the Father said. That’s where He wants us! I don’t want anything apart from Him. If it isn’t Him, I don’t want it. I’d rather spend time in the secret place than go from one thing to the next. Sometimes there’s a place for that as we fight for God’s purposes, but I find that the more I seek His face, He fights my battles and opens the doors no man can open. He brings the strategy when we seek Him and He does all of it far better than we can. I’ve had people ask me how certain things have happened in my life and I tell them I prayed and He brought the strategy and the favor. He wants to do this for all of us! Imagine a church that truly lived like this and what we could accomplish for His Kingdom!! When the cares of this world overwhelm you, I want to encourage you to go to the secret place and seek Jesus. He will bring you peace and He will fight your battles far better than we can.

God's Restoration

Job’s latter life was greater than his former. God restored double to Him. Much has been stolen from many of us in this past season, but the Lord will repay what the <a href=""></a>enemy has stolen above and beyond what we could ask for. Job forgave those who persecuted him and sought God. This is the key! Forgive and seek God and watch what He will do!

Don’t Mess with Our Kids

The other night I had a powerful prophetic dream about an important event happening in Hollywood today- the Mayday event led by Don’t Mess with Our Kids. In the dream, <a href=""></a>I’m going to the Mayday event and I have other women warriors in the car. They’re calling it the summer of love. We are looking for parking and pass my friend on the street who’s a therapist. She’s fallen away from the Lord and promoted the LGBT lifestyle. I roll down my window to talk to her saying I’ve suddenly become a psychologist through a program that nominates me and she congratulates me. I’m blocking traffic so I tell her we’ll catch up soon and she’s very happy. I must move, but I miss my turn so I have to find parking farther away. We pass the rally and it’s getting crazy.
We get to a parking garage and there’s military everywhere. We start thanking them and praying for them. Then we walk to the rally and suddenly I’m the leader. There’s a lot of young
families with children all lined up sitting down. They tell me they’ve named themselves after Simpson’s characters and the letters of the alphabet. I lead them in the alphabet song and then they start singing worship songs.
Summer of love was when the Jesus People movement happened and we are about to have another one! We are here to love people to Christ, not judge!
My friend speaks to the people being saved out of the LGBT lifestyle and the prodigals coming home. I miss my turn,
but it seems to be divinely orchestrated. The military, or angels, are there to protect us. Why am I suddenly the leader? I believe it has to do with the authority I have being born and raised in Hollywood and being called here. The families and children are what we are fighting for. The Simpson show explores themes of the hypocrisy of religious institutions or the complexities of faith. The Lord is resetting the church to show the true gospel verses religious hypocrisy. The alphabet song, or specifically the acrostic format used in Psalm 119, has a biblical significance related to the Hebrew alphabet, God's law, and the orderliness of God's word. This structure, where each verse begins with a consecutive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, demonstrates the completeness and order of God's law, often used as a mnemonic device to help with memorization. This turns into worship which is what it is all about and the main purpose of the event. This is our weapon!
The Lord is with the Mayday movement which is attracting national attention for Jesus after Antifa and the mayor attacked them at the Seattle event last weekend. Now Hollywood has refused to give them a permit on Hollywood Blvd even though for the past two years they’ve given permits to CA Will Be Saved for a similar event. I was at both events and they were glorious! There were rainbows, angels, and doves in the clouds above us! The city of Hollywood is giving a Pride festival a permit next Saturday, hypocritically, but blocking our First Amendment Religious rights today, even though Mayday applied for this permit months ago. The FBI is investigating the Seattle event and there is already legal action in motion for the Hollywood event. Please meet us in front of the Chinese Theater today on Hollywood Blvd as we stand for Jesus and exercise our religious rights, most importantly for the children. Above all, please pray for us. For such a time as this- Hollywood Shall Be Saved!!

God’s agenda

I’ve had several prophetic dreams lately. Many of them have given me strategies in how to pray, especially about saving children. In one dream, I’m at a school and <a href=""></a>helping student female athletes choose their college by giving them tips and recruiters come to watch them play. It works and three recruiters offer a girl places at their college. Boston university shows her a brochure with a map explaining where the classrooms are and across the grass is the administration building and she points out the salary office. The people from the colleges have to leave and the girl says Boston is her first choice and is so excited!
I believe this dream speaks to the calling we have to protect and save girls sports and fight against the transgender agenda. Why did she choose Boston as they currently have many liberal agendas? Will it be reformed for God as He brings revival and reformation? I’ve never been to Boston, but I know a few things.
There were critical battles fought in Boston during the American Revolution, so it is one of the epicenters for American freedom.
I heard recently that a bill was passed in MA where kids can be taken away from their parents for not being vaccinated. This is another thing we need to pray and fight against for our children. As we pray, God will bring Boston and other places that are not following God’s agenda, freedom from tyranny.

Prophetic dream comes true

Prophetic dream comes true and a deeper call to pray!
<a href=""></a>The new Pope appointment is very interesting and it seems they’ve appointed a Pope even more compromised than the last one. It is not surprising as the Catholic Church has continued to compromise bit by bit as has much of the Church as a whole. God is using it to sharpen the church and bring it back to the foundation of Him! There is revival going on in much of the Church, including the Catholic Church. May this increase!
Four years ago, I had an interesting dream where I was visiting a Catholic Church and it was announced while we were there that the Pope died. There was also an evil Jezebel spirit in the dream. (The link to the dream is below- please read as it’s very interesting!) When I was in DC a few weeks ago, I visited the National Cathedral. It looks very similar to the church in my dream. This church is also woke and needs godly reform. I was also with the same friend who was in my dream with me, the day before Easter. As we know, the Pope recently died, the day after Easter. The Holy Spirit just helped me put it all together that I experienced much of my dream in reality. I visited a similar church, with the same friend, and the Pope died in the natural only two days after we visited. Amazing! I think this is a call to pray consistently for God to work out for good what the enemy means for evil! I’m amazed at how God speaks to us and I’ve been having tons of prophetic dreams. God says He’ll pour out His Spirit in the last days through prophetic dreams. Pray for this. As you do, He’ll give you the solutions you’ve been praying for and the strategies to pray!!

His perfect timing!

I’ve been praying and thinking a lot lately about ministries and organizations who do wrong, but still prosper. It feels unfair to those who are doing the right thing. <a href=""></a>God sees what we do in secret and He rewards us. He will deal with the others and bring justice. This is why we’re seeing a huge shaking in the church and all facets of society. He’ll bring the righteous His favor in His timing, sharpening us in the process.
This is the scripture I got from the Lord-
“But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬ ‭
This applies to everything we do in secret, including prayer. God can do far more with the right seeds and obedience. Examples- Gideon’s army and politicians who raise less money than their opponents, but win their elections due to God’s favor. I hope this encourages you as it did me! Keep pressing into the Lord, doing right, He will reward you in His perfect timing!

We can’t rush God’s promises

We can’t rush God’s promises. If we suddenly put everything into place that we want and the foundation or the background pieces aren’t there, it probably wouldn’t last. <a href=""></a>The process is almost more important, as it sharpens things to prepare for the promise, our character most importantly. Sometimes we get impatient, without knowing what needs to happen in the background first. Our impatience may prevent our growth or someone else’s. It’s like a chick bursting from an egg. If it’s given help, it won’t have the strength to survive life’s challenges later on.
Sometimes we want to help speed things up, disrupting the process that has to occur to get there. The process can be incredibly painful. Good things often come from pain- new birth for one. God has us at the threshold of new birth. At times we don’t think we’ll make it, but then the baby or the promise comes. It’s beautiful and we soon forget the pain that brought us there! God truly brings beauty from ashes, works all things for good. Put your eyes on Him and in faith, look at the promises you’re believing for. He is a good God and He makes all things new!

God’s Preparation and Strategy

God’s Preparation and Strategy-
Although Jacob was deceived by his father in law and had to work twice as long for his beloved, God used it. In that time, God was working in Jacob, humbling him, preparing him for what was ahead. Later, as Jacob sought God, God gave him the strategy for the speckled lambs and blessed him abundantly!! It is similar for Joseph, God used the prison to humble and prepare him so that he was ready to be <a href=""></a>second in command and save a nation! God’s timing is perfect.
Many of us have been waiting for our promises, seeking God in the process, but feeling as if little is happening. I want to encourage you that just as a dormant seed is sprouting underground, on the surface nothing is seen, but there is growth happening. Our promises may be unseen right now, God may be setting the stage in ways we are unaware, but He is working. We just need to keep seeking Him and putting one foot in front of the other, however small the step seems. The best thing that will come out of all of this, is a deeper relationship with the Lord. A relationship that will stand the test of storms and teach us to rely on Him for absolutely everything!!

The fragrance of God continues

The fragrance of God continues-
I <a href=""></a>recently wrote about the fragrances of God I’ve been smelling as I seek the Lord. I’ll put the post in the comments. After I posted this, I smelled flowers while listening to worship music.
A week later as I was walking into school with another teacher, she asked what fragrance I was wearing. She said it smelled wonderful!! I said I wasn’t wearing anything and then realized maybe it was the fragrance of God. I was carrying it with me as I pray walking into school each day. How amazing is this?
A few days before all of this, I discussed how difficult it was working for my school district and some other warfare I’ve faced lately with my best friend and her parents. They reminded me that I’m fighting against principalities and that I change the atmosphere wherever I go as I bring the presence of God. Even though I know this, it hit me in a new way and changed my perspective and attitude. I started seeking the Lord even more and soon began smelling the fragrance of God. I’ve also been having amazing prophetic dreams. It’s been incredible to have these kisses from God! I hope this encourages you to seek the Lord more, even in the face of battle and watch what He does!

Holy Spirit Fragrance

Recently I was reading the book The Veil by Blake Healy. In one of the chapters, he describes worship in the church and what he sees in the Spirit world. Jesus individually meets with each person in the room and the fire of God breaks out as people worship Him. All of a sudden, I started smelling fire!! It was very faint and if I wasn’t paying attention, I could have easily dismissed it as my imagination. I was amazed as I’ve been praying for more of God.
I’ve smelled supernatural burning only a few times and not in awhile. I first smelled it on the street I found the burning book 5 years ago. I’ve smelled supernatural flowers on that street and also in worship, but it’s been a few years. I shared this with my prayer partner who said she smelled fire around the same time I did. Amazing!
The next morning as I was preparing to teach, I was listening to worship music. I listen to worship music throughout the day every chance I get!! All of a sudden, I briefly smelled a Christmas tree!! It was such a kiss from God since I’ve been struggling with things in my job lately and have been consistently praying into it all. Only God could bring a symbol of something that represents gifts as well as the season we celebrate Christ’s birth. The day after that as I was preparing to teach and listening to worship music again, I smelled flowers. I believe this all symbolizes the importance of pressing into the Lord, even when things don’t appear the way we want. It also represents the fire of God that He’s bringing to the Body of Christ and the gifts/blessings He wants to pour into our lives. Put your hope in Him for He is good!!

 Taste and See that the Lord is Good

As I was soaking in worship, I had a vision of the stamen of a flower where pollen is produced. Bees collect pollen to make honey. I looked up these scriptures and they’re so good! Let them speak to you as they have for me-
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬ ‭
“How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!” Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭103‬ ‭
“My child, eat honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste. In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short.” Proverbs‬ ‭24‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭

The Great Harvest!

I had a vision of a strawberry which reminded me of an experience a friend and I had at a farmers market when a woman lost her diamond in the strawberries-

The Lord directed me to <a href=""></a>this scripture-
“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and sweep the entire house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she will call in her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.” Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭
God is speaking that many are coming home! He’s heard our prayers and there’ll be great rejoicing as many come to Him in the coming days. Celebrate now in expectation of the great harvest coming into the kingdom!

The Glory of God!

Last night as I was going to bed, I was praying for more of the Lord.  Soon after, my bed started shaking.  I thought it was an earthquake and checked online to see what the epicenter and magnitude was.  There was no earthquake!  I realized it was the Glory of God!  What a gift on the first day of 2025.  May we experience greater glory this year and may it permeate every area of our lives throughout the whole world so that everyone knows the Glory of God!
Ephesians 3:16-19
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His GLORY, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Exodus 33:18 
Moses said, “Please show me your GLORY.”
Habakkuk 2:14 
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the GLORY of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 6:3 
And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his GLORY!”
Isaiah 60:1 
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the GLORY of the Lord has risen upon you.
Psalm 19:1 
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the GLORY of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Psalm 72:19 
Blessed be his GLORIOUS name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his GLORY! Amen and Amen!
Romans 8:18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the GLORY that is to be revealed to us.

The Year of Birthing!

Happy New Year!!! 2025 equals 9. It’s the year of birthing!! Everything you’ve sown will come back to you a hundredfold! I received two huge financial miracles in December. There is power in sowing and you will reap far more than you sow. Be generous, this is actually the word the Lord gave me for this year and it’s my life verse. I want to encourage you to tithe, give offerings and increase it. You can’t out give God! It’s Biblical and works. Praying abundant blessing <a href=""></a>over you all! This is just the beginning!! Our best days are truly ahead!

Provision and Abundance!

Last night I had a very interesting and prophetic dream. I dreamed I was at a teacher training with some teacher friends. We were going to have lunch and one teacher said she’d go to the basement to the cafeteria. I told her I knew a restaurant on a high floor in the library with beautiful views over the water. The restaurant had a buffet with a variety of foods. The waiter said there weren't as many strawberries due to rat poison destroying them.
As I went to get some meat <a href=""></a>at the end, I noticed this was where we paid as well. I’d left my purse at the table with my friends and was going to tell them I’d go get my purse. Then I saw white envelopes with money for us to pay. I took one and opened it to pay the man at the register. I took a $50 bill and gave it to him. Then I noticed a few hundred-dollar bills in the envelope and was amazed. I handed him $100 in addition and said to keep it as a tip since I had so much. I asked where he got it from and he said he was very blessed in his ministry. I was amazed and asked him how as I haven’t had many people sowing money into my ministry. I asked if he put the same amount of money in every envelope or did I chose the largest? He smiled. He said I should come back, chose again, and find out! I ask him to pray for me to be blessed financially and then I woke up!
There are many facets to this dream and I believe that we can all find prophetic significance for ourselves in this dream if we chose to. I believe the teacher training signifies the training the Lord has me in for His calling. This training will continue until I go to my heavenly home with Him. Instead of going low to the basement, I tell them we should go to the high place. The library represents heavenly wisdom. This is where we should all go with the Lord, seeking Him first in all things! Not only does the Lord want to show us His beauty, but water signifies cleansing and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit guides us in the way we should go. Food represents the Word and will of God. All of this is our foundation for everything and guides us in the way we should go. This buffet of a variety of foods reminds me of the banqueting table of Jesus. He is preparing His Bride and preparing a table for us with the choicest foods. The strawberries represent choosing the good fruit rather than the temptation of what may appear good, but underneath is full of poison or evil. It’s having the discernment to be led by the Lord to know the difference!
Fifty signifies extreme grace and hundred represents maximum blessing and financial wholeness. The white envelope signifies the pure heart of God to give good gifts to His children. The money represents faith and seeds sown. This dream also reminds me of the parable of the talents and how the Lord gave me the envelope with a lot of money, money I didn’t deserve or earn. The Lord chooses to give talents of varying amounts to different people, expecting us to use what is given to us to multiply it for His Kingdom. I believe the man at the register represents the Lord who gives freely. When we sow generously back to Him, He is pleased, and gives us even more!
I have been specifically asking the Lord for strategy and to speak to me in my dreams and He has! God has opened huge doors lately and divinely aligned me and the people around me with strategically, divinely aligned people to bring in the abundant provision of the Lord for our callings to save children. We must seek first the Kingdom of God in all things as we must be led by Him, prepared, have the right heart posture, and use discernment. In His kindness, God brings us His blessings when we are ready and in His timing!

Repayment and The Secret Place!

Recently, I dreamed I was at a church event near my airport, LAX. Afterwards, as I went to the parking lot to leave, I noticed that many of the cars were broken into, including mine. There was broken glass everywhere, red graffiti on the hood of my car, dents all over, things stolen, and part of my engine was gone.
I started crying and praying as I needed to be somewhere.  I was dismayed that I would have to spend time and money to get my car fixed.  I started calling 911, but accidentally called 991 instead.  A girl answered, but she made no sense.   I realized I called the wrong number and hung up. I wanted to text people to agree with me in prayer, but needed to get in touch with the police as well. I start to drive and suddenly my car works miraculously even though part of the engine was gone a minute ago. I have to drive from the backseat because of the broken glass.
There’s a lot of traffic as I drive.  I call the police, but I still can’t get in touch with them. I’m crying and assessing the things that were stolen. I figure my car is totaled and I’ll need to buy a new car like my friend recently had to after her car was totaled in a hit and run. I wonder how I will afford it? I tried to call my mom to ask for help, but I’m crying so hard. I think of another friend whose car was broken into recently and her purse stolen. I start thinking of how tired I am of the crime in Los Angeles and throughout our nation. I wonder if many people from the church had their cars broken into and that the pastors will be sad about this.
The Lord has given me much revelation about this dream as I have sought Him.  LAX Airport can mean being lax or “lacks” like a poverty mentality.  Since I was coming from a church event, this represents the church as a whole.  The church has been lax in addressing many issues and is why we are currently in the mess we are in.  They have also had a poverty mindset, which is opposite of the abundant mindset God calls us to.
It is interesting to note that I had to drive from the backseat.  This is what God calls us to; to be servants and allow Him to guide us.  I believe the broken glass represents breaking the glass ceiling and no limitations in God.  As I chose to start praying and driving, my car was suddenly fixed by the Lord.  Prayer mixed with faith and moving forward are what the Lord needs to help us.  He wants us to partner with Him.
For the numbers 991 and 911, I found the scriptures below.   Both are very pertinent for us and our nation.  This is what the Lord is doing right now, shaking the nations to lead them to the King of Kings!  He is calling us into the secret place first and foremost to fight our battles.  We cannot rely on another’s oil. 
 
“The Lord is king! Let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the whole earth quake!” Psalms 99:1
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty,” Psalms 91:1
Many people have had things stolen from them and are tired.  People have been dealing with disappointment after disappointment.  Enough is enough!  The enemy has to repay what he has stolen.  The enemy may try to steal, but when we pray, God helps us.   He allows hard things to draw us closer to Him.  The police not answering the phone reminds me that the Lord is ultimately our help and He can do far more in the supernatural than man.  We must call on Him and He will answer.  He will help us!!!
I have specifically been seeking the Lord more than ever, as I know many are.  I have been asking Him for strategy and to speak to me in my dreams and He has!  I encourage you to do the same and watch what He will do.  He is a good, good Father and He longs to have a deeper relationship with each of us.  We will continue to go around the same mountains until we get this.  In His mercy, He does all He can to draw us to Him.  Seek Him and you will find Him.  There is no high like the Holy Spirit high!

Expectation

Many people have been dealing with disappointment. It feels like it never ends. The definition of disappointment is defeated in expectation or hope and obsolete or not adequately equipped. The Lord is actually doing the complete opposite of this. The Lord is equipping us as He strips away the old things and refines us into the new, to be more like Him. It’s very painful, but in His mercy He knows what is needed.
He wants us to put our expectation and hope in Him. This means we trust Him that He knows what’s best for us. Faith trusts God that even when we can’t see it, He is working all things out for good in His time. I feel He wants us to read the scripture below, slowly, and study it. God’s plans for us are good, to give us a future and a hope! Seek Him, rest in Him, and I pray the peace that passes understanding will come over you in Jesus’ name!
“In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” ‭‭Matt. 6‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭

The Shaking!

There was a 4.7 earthquake this morning in Los Angeles just as I was arriving at school. Here are some significant 4:7 scriptures. God is speaking and shaking things up! We’ve had more earthquakes in the LA area in the past couple years than normal and God is resetting Hollywood and bringing CA Gold back, especially through revival!

Raven of Encouragement

This morning, as I was leaving for work, I heard a pounding noise. I looked at the window in the hallway and saw a raven looking straight at me, pounding on window. This is the second time this has happened with this window. A raven has done this two additional times in the window by my elevator over the past few years. I’ve had several encounters with ravens on my prayer walks as well. Each time it’s a kiss from God that He’s with me.
There’s a raven who built a nest outside my bedroom window as well, knocking on the wall and off. My manager put a decoy, but the raven won’t leave. I love it as it reminds me of God speaking to me about His provision like in the story of Elijah. I’m currently reading about Elijah in 1 Kings, which is even more significant. Thank you Lord for your encouragement and provision, especially when we need it. May He send us all these kisses from the Father to show He’s with us, for us, and has a future and a hope for us all!

Obedience

Prayer and obedience work! Be led of the Lord to pray where He calls you, even if you don’t fully agree with the person being prayed for or the place He sends you. “To obey is better than sacrifice,” 1 Samuel 15:22. Nearly a year ago I was led to pray for a presidential candidate at one of his campaign events. My prayer partner was led to join me over the phone. A couple hours later a would be assassin was arrested on the spot we prayed. Prayer works! It’s an honor that God would allow us to be even a small part of this. (See 9/16/23 testimony). The Historic moment that happened on Friday was emotional as I remembered last September for this reason and so many more! Prayer saved another candidate’s life recently. Amazing! What would happen if we were led by God on how and where to pray? Imagine how our partnership with Him would change the trajectory of our nation? testimony
I also unknowingly found myself in the middle of a neighborhood where my least favorite candidate was holding a fundraiser last December, Palestinian protestors flooding and causing destruction on the nearby streets. I prayed and can only hope that my prayers and others’ prayers have made a difference. I believe they have. God calls us to people and places to pray for such a time as this! I have countless stories like this and have heard many people’s similar stories. They’re so fun! It’s a Holy adventure to be led by the Lord and humbling that He would choose to use us. Ask Him how to pray, where to pray, and even any prophetic acts He may lead you in. His still small voice, almost a whisper, but He will guide you. We were created to partner with God from the beginning. May we arise and take our places in the Kingdom of God to take this nation back for Him! He wants to do far more than we could ask or expect!

The Bride of Christ

Last night, I dreamed I was at a wedding celebration, but was unable to fully participate due to having to work. Later, I watched as someone was tortured in hell. As I woke up and asked the Lord what it meant, I felt the Lord say it was twofold. On one hand, I’ve felt I’ve been in hell as I’ve been experiencing tremendous stress lately. When I ruminate on these negative thoughts, it feels like hell. On the other hand, we can choose to be positive and seek God continually. When we do this, He brings the help we need. This is what the Bride of Christ does who participates in the wedding celebration. The dream also speaks of the Harvest and those who need salvation, it is light verses dark.
I also felt the Lord point out Acts 16 about Paul and Silas being beaten and thrown into jail for preaching the gospel and truth. I started weeping as I read because their severe trial led the jailer to the Lord. It also reminds me of the book The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun, who lived a modern day Paul and Silas situation. Are we willing to go through anything to bring others to Jesus? I know so many people going through the most severe trials right now. Paul and Silas were able to sing to the Lord in prison. God gave them the grace to sustain the worst circumstance and their attitude and honesty led a whole family to Jesus and eventually freed them. It hit me in a new way. Jesus give us your grace and lead us in your way! We are your servants. We need you and cannot do it without you!

I Surrender All!

Recently, I had a dream where I was buttering bread for a ministry gathering and I began singing “I Surrender All” and everyone joined me. I had anxiety at the time about something I was contending for. I surrendered it to God and five days later He gave me above and beyond what I’d asked for.
Since then, surrendering is something I’m earnestly seeking to do more and to be fully at rest in Him. Are we willing to give God everything, our hopes, dreams, everything, knowing He has the best plans laid out for us? His plans for us are good and He has a future and hope for us!

Promises Fulfilled!

God is going to fulfill our promises, but not in the way we think. He often brings breakthrough out of hardship. If you’re going through a trial, keep pressing into Him, contending for your breakthrough. He’s maturing us, preparing us, building our faith in the journey. Nothing is wasted, He simply wants us to seek Him in everything. He has the answers, the strategy, the help, and everything we need. In His mercy He leads us so that we don’t have to keep going around the same mountain over and over. People are having good conversations about us and He’s aligning us with His favor and provision. We just have to seek Him first and all these things shall be added unto us. Trust Him, He is good, and He has a future and a hope for us!
When I spend time in the secret place with Jesus, rather than going about my busy day, He has brought me what I need far better than I could. He wants to do the same for us all!
“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭

Seek First the Kingdom of God

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭
This verse has been my life verse lately. As the cares of the world can be overwhelming, the Lord has asked me to seek Him first over and over and He will take care of the rest. As I’ve sought Him, despite my long list of things I need to do, He has done far more than I could have ever done on my own. It’s blown my mind, the favor He’s brought, the divine connections, the peace that passes understanding, the revelation, everything I need and more, and the abundance. He’s so good and He knows what we need far more than we know ourselves. Seek Him, even when everything is swirling and it seems there’s no answers. He has all the answers, all the blessings, and He can do far more when we simply seek Him. He’s a good Father and His plans for us are good!

He is in the waiting.

He is in the waiting. I often think of Abraham and Sarah and how long they had to wait for their promise. Many of us have waited a long time for our promises. It seems like the waiting will never end and the promises will never come. Some of our promises are past their expiration date and only a miracle could bring them to fruition.
What did Abraham and Sarah think during their long wait? Obviously, they became impatient and Ishmael was the result. The consequences of this are still felt today. I don’t want to settle for Ishmael, but I want to wait for Isaac. Faith is believing what we cannot see. Their promise seemed impossible as Sarah was past child-bearing age. I think if God can do this, then He can do anything! He is never late.
We must seek the Lord each day, each step of the way, even when we cannot see, trusting Him in the process. He is creating something beautiful in us, sharpening us, preparing us. We will be far more ready for our promises if we do this then if we tried to do it on our own, in our own timing. We’ve all tried to do things in our own strength and it never turns out well. The Lord has been teaching us to rest in Him and be led by Him in everything. It can be painful, but He has a future and a hope for us. He has His best for us. I know that I need to be reminded of this as it hasn’t been easy to wait. He is a good Father and His plans for us are good! Our best days are truly ahead, no matter what it looks like right now. Put your trust in the Lord and watch what He will do!

You Prepare a Table Before Me

I have regular visions of abundant tables decorated beautifully with the most delicious foods. God is preparing His Bride. Out of the tension, He’s creating something beautiful and strengthening us. It’s not going to look like it did before!
“He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.” ‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬ ‭
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.” Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭5‬ ‭
“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 wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel: “They’ll rebuild their ruined cities. They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine. They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables. And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land. They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.” God, your God, says so.”
‭‭Amos‬ ‭9‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Child, I See You

Child, I see you. The ones who are walking in their promises and the ones who aren’t yet.
The ones who’ve endured the pain of waiting for their promises and the ones suffering through loss of heartbreak.
I especially speak to the ones who’ve waited long for the promise of the Isaac’s until it feels as if you’ve been passed by.
I am the God of Abraham and Sarah and I’m never late and I do the impossible. I create something out of nothing, when the world says you’re long past due. Even when you try to do it in your own strength, I still come through.
My timing is not your own. My promises are abundant and the journey is worth it. I see every tear and there’s a purpose in it all and in the waiting. One day you’ll look back and understand, my hand was in it all and I truly work all things out for good.
I love you more than you can imagine and I have far more for you than you can hope for. Come to me, sit with me, seek my face, and I will bring you peace that passes understanding and revelation beyond compare. I love you, I love you, I love you, my precious child.
-Your Father, the One who paid it all!

Kisses and Pictures from God

The Lord redirected me to a neighborhood that I rarely walk in for my prayer walk today. Suddenly I saw words written in chalk on the sidewalk. I started reading them and noticed how prophetic and specific they were to many things I’ve been praying over. How amazing and detailed is our God? If we slow down, listen, and pay attention, He will do it for us all. He’s so good! God can use anything to speak to us! I pray these words of affirmation will speak to you. I wrote them out as the pictures are hard to make out-
What did you do today that you’re proud of?
Hope is a person who has lost her fear.
Everything beautiful about you has nothing to do with what you look like.
It’s hard to beat someone who never gives up.
Success is not final. Failure is not fatal.
Love is a choice and one that is never too late to make.
It’s not the load that breaks you down. It’s the way you carry it.
Speak kindly to yourself. Your brain is listening.

The 11th Hour!

Recently, military horses in London broke free and ran through the streets, the white one covered in blood. A few minutes later, Big Ben’s clock stopped at 10:06 and rang the wrong time, 11 times signifying the 11th hour. All of this is prophetically significant as seen in Revelation and pointed out in “The Threshold” by the Daily Prophetic in greater detail. I decided to look up 10:06 scriptures and was blown away by the signs of the times and prophetic significance. God is speaking!
”Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.” I Samuel‬ ‭10‬:‭6‬ ‭
”Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.“ Proverbs‬ ‭10‬:‭6‬ ‭
”I will send him against an ungodly nation, And against the people of My wrath I will give him charge, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.” Isaiah‬ ‭10‬:‭6‬ ‭
”and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,“ Rev. 10‬:‭6‬ ‭
”But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.“ Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭6‬ ‭
”“I will strengthen the house of Judah, And I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, Because I have mercy on them. They shall be as though I had not cast them aside; For I am the Lord their God, And I will hear them.“ Zechariah‬ ‭10‬:‭6‬ ‭
”But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’“ Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭6‬ ‭
”They think, “Nothing bad will ever happen to us! We will be free of trouble forever!” Psalms‬ ‭10‬:‭6‬ ‭

You Will Recover All!

As I was reading 1 Samuel 30 today, when the Amalekites take everything but David and his men get it all back after calling on the Lord, it feels very parallel to what’s going on in Israel as well as America and our own lives. Be encouraged and pray to God like David that all will be recovered and then some, maybe not in the way we anticipated, but God works all things out for good for those who love Him!

Mama Bears

The other day as I was on my prayer walk I noticed a crow fiercely trying to get something high in one of the palm trees. Two tiny birds kept diving after it, pushing it away. The crow was persistent and so were the birds. I wondered what the crow was after and then it hit me, he was after their nest. These two birds, much smaller than the crow, were defending their babies. If you’ve noticed other animals, they’re the same. They defend their babies and protect them at all costs. Humans are made to protect their children and most do so at all costs. Unfortunately, many are not protecting children, but attacking them instead. The enemy is going after our children as he knows they are our future. The mamas and papas are rising up!

 He is Risen!

I took this picture on a hike in Yosemite on my retreat with the Lord. It was a journey with Jesus encouraging me with every step.
This picture reminds me of the empty tomb. I went to Israel several years ago and my favorite place was the Garden Tomb. There’s a peace and a feeling of home. It’s indescribable.
On this day where we celebrate the Resurrection, may we celebrate the One who conquered death and paid it all! There may be swirling going on, but the power of Jesus rises above it all! May we have a greater revelation of the power of the cross today and everyday! He is risen! Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice! We put our eyes on you. It’s all culminated for such a time as this and our best days are truly ahead!

The Cross!

The day was silent. The day between the death and resurrection. No one understood. They were in mourning. Would what He prophesied really come true? They couldn’t see it. They were too devastated at what they’d witnessed the day before. Their beloved crucified brutally beyond recognition. How could it be? Why didn’t He save Himself? How’d they survive without Him?
It was the day of rest, so they rested and mourned. No one understood. They wanted to speak to the only one who did, but He was gone. How could they survive without Him?
But Sunday was coming! Prophecy fulfilled, the crucified lamb would rise! All would be right again, better in fact. Nothing would be the same. Forever our savior, forever our spotless lamb, forever the One who was and is to come! Jehovah! Beloved! Our One and only. The One who is always with us. The One who forever broke the separation of the grave! Our all in all! Our eternal savior who made all things new.
The anticipation of Heaven must have been palpable. The angels waiting eagerly for the greatest show on earth. It was quiet, but Sunday was coming!

Today is 2/22 and it’s prophetic-
“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.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭22‬:‭22‬ ‭
God has been opening so many amazing doors for me in education reform lately. He’s brought divine alignments, acceleration, favor, strategy, wisdom, revelation, and an ease to things. When God does it, it comes together beautifully!! There’s expectancy for things to come, a hope for the future, and dreams of all the possibilities! I pray that God continues to open the right doors that only He can open and shut the doors of all wrong alignments for each of us.
”For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.“ Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭

No Celebrity Christians!

There are no celebrity Christians in the Kingdom of God.
”Yet they say to each other, ‘Don’t come too close or you will defile me! I am holier than you!’ These people are a stench in my nostrils, an acrid smell that never goes away.“ Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭5‬ ‭
God says the greatest in the Kingdom of God are those who become like children, like servants.
”So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭16‬
God is reordering the church. The order of the service will be led by God alone, the foundation of which is worship and prayer.
He is bringing us back to the simplicity of the gospel, where people fall on their faces before the Lord, not worrying what they look like. They fear God, not man. Rise up church!! Jesus is coming back for a pure bride.
”The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert a highway for our God.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭3‬ ‭

The Oil of the Lord

Recently, the Lord gave me a vision and revelation about the first olive press. This is the finest oil, virgin olive oil. He showed me that He is pressing us to make the best oil. A few days later, the Lord showed me it is also about The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, Matthew 25:1-13. The Lord wants us to be like the virgins who are ready for the Bridegroom! I love how He gives multiple meanings to one word. He’s asking us to spend more time in the Secret Place to make sure our lamps are full. When we do, we are ready for the Bridegroom as well as anything that comes against us.

The Beauty of Zion

The last 24 hours of my retreat with the Lord has been at Zion National Park. The first time I came here I was in awe of the incredible beauty. I kept shouting to the Lord how He’d outdone Himself. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and I’d planned to come again last summer. God redirected my steps and called me on a prayer journey to the Northwest instead.
Two weeks ago, the Lord opened the doors for this AZ/UT trip. It was a complete surprise!! There’s been so much beauty, revelation, favor, and kisses from God. I feel as if it’s full circle for my obedience last summer. As He told me, obedience is better than sacrifice. Follow Him, allow Him to redirect you, even when it doesn’t make sense. His way is always better!!
Today, as I was driving into Zion, I heard the scripture, I was blind, but now I see! It’s like people who’ve never seen beauty and suddenly see or people who are color blind and see color for the first time. It’s the same when we find Jesus, we suddenly see what we couldn’t see before!
It’s been raining and I was disappointed in this, but asked the Lord what He wanted to show me. There’s several beautiful waterfalls all over Zion. I found out they are only visible within two hours of the rain. It was a visible picture of these verses that the Lord put in my Spirit-
“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 wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:
“They’ll rebuild their ruined cities.
They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine.
They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.
And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land.
They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.”
God, your God, says so.&quot; Amos 9:13-15 (MSG)

Darkness and Light

Today, I hiked Antelope Canyon. It exceeded my expectations as I marveled at the light shinning through these beautiful red canyons. Later, as I was putting my things away, I accidentally touched something on my phone. Suddenly, the trailer for season 4 of “The Chosen” began playing randomly, talking about darkness and light. How timely as this was the main message the Lord showed me during this tour. I started crying at this kiss from God!

God is Redirecting Us!

Recently as I was driving, I missed a turn and went off course for several minutes. I’ve learned to ask the Lord what He wants to say through this. My prayer partner felt that it had a significant meaning from the Lord for the days ahead and being willing to go where the Lord leads.
Detour means a deviation from a direct course or the usual procedure. God wants us to be prepared for the detours He wants to take us on. This made me think of the scripture, “Be ready in season and out of season,” 2 Tim. 4:2. Are we willing to be obedient to whatever He asks of us, no matter what it may look like?
Are we ready to be redirected in a new direction? Redirection means to change the direction or focus of. God will redirect us when we go off course and He will also redirect our focus. There’s a lot of swirling going on in the world, but we are to keep our eyes fixed on Him. Seek Him first!
”But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.“ Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬-‭34‬ ‭

He's Bringing Us Joy and Gifts

Tonight, I had the privilege of seeing one of my favorite ballets, “The Nutcracker.” The Lord gave me so much revelation and confirmation. As I watched the scene where the children receive their gifts, the Lord reminded me that He wants to bring us all our gifts at once. As the children and mice dance in playful banter, I felt the Lord say He’s bringing us joy!
My favorite scene is the Waltz of the Snowflakes. It reminds me of the beauty of heaven and the pure, white Bride of Christ He’s making us into. I sat and wept as I felt the Holy Spirit’s touch. There’s something about art that shows us a glimpse of the Father and His great love for us! His beauty is all around if we take a moment to look. He’s so good!

Accelerated Promises

The Lord gave me a vision of Santa’s village and workshop. He’s preparing our gifts and all the promises He has for us. It’s a joyful, expectant place full of acceleration.
Then I had a vision of the conveyor belt in the “I Love Lucy” episode where Lucy and Ethel are wrapping chocolates. Eventually it goes faster and faster and they can’t keep up with the pace. They begin eating the chocolate and stuffing it in their clothes to hide the unwrapped candy. It’s hilarious! This all speaks to the joy and sweetness He’s bringing us!
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬ ‭

Suddenly Promises

Our promises are coming forth suddenly in the name of Jesus! I saw a license plate this evening that read- Elame11. Elame means suddenly and the number 11 always represents God’s promises- Deut. 11:11, Heb. 11:11. The Lord gave me this verse for us-
“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 wine pouring off the mountains and hills.” Amos‬ ‭9‬:‭13‬ ‭MSG‬‬

God of the Impossible!

“For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall.” Ps.18‬:‭29‬ ‭
Nothing is impossible for God! What are you believing for? Declare it, pray, seek God for His heart and strategy, and watch what He will do. Above all-
“…Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭

Expectant

As I was praying this morning, the Lord pointed out the time 7:11, numbers He frequently highlights. These scriptures are so good-
“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭11‬ ‭
“Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above.” Isaiah‬ ‭7‬:‭11‬ ‭
Later, I started declaring and spontaneously singing what I’m expecting from the Lord in my life, my family, friends, nation, Israel, and the world. I encourage you to do the same and look to where your help comes from! Hope in the Lord!

Gratitude

The Lord has been asking me to look back at my gratitude list to see all He’s done and ask Him to do it again and more! There’s power in gratitude and testimony! Write down all the things He’s done and be amazed at His goodness!!
Note: I have a reminder to myself weekly to write down all the good things that happened that week. I do this in my phone notes. It doesn’t take long and then I have something tangible I can read from time to time to remember. You can start now by writing as many good things as you can think of in your life. Thank the Lord and pray He’d do even more!
“Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.” Psalms‬ ‭95‬:‭2‬ ‭
“And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭22‬ ‭

Transformation, the Bride of Christ, and the Power of Prayer!

Transformation, the Power of Prayer, and Testimony!
The Lord has been supernaturally showing me the transformation He is doing in the Bride of Christ.  He has confirmed this word over and over by putting butterflies in my path.  There is power in prayer and testimonies!!  A few weeks ago, as I was praying on my way to church, the Lord started speaking to me about butterfly’s metamorphosis. In the cocoon stage, caterpillars are reduced to mush; nothing remains. Then they’re recreated into beautiful butterflies. This is what the Lord is doing in us, stripping everything away!! We have all faced difficulty and the heat seems to have been turned up.  A few minutes later, a white butterfly flew in front of my car on the freeway. The Lord was confirming His word supernaturally. He’s so good like that!

Several days later, as I was on my prayer walk, I prayed with a friend on the phone for a situation we were contending for.  Not only did the Lord give me strategy for the situation, I saw two white butterflies, confirming His word!  A few days later, I was driving with a friend and testifying of some of the miracles God has done in and through my life.  As I did, two white butterflies flew in front of my car. Praise the Lord for His confirmation!  He wants us to press into Him, pray, testify of what He has done, and believe He’ll do it again in a greater way!

Later, the Lord reminded me of a vision of a red butterfly He showed me a few weeks ago. The meaning of this particular butterfly is secure or immovable.  It is also red like the blood of Jesus, the one who paid it all for us!  He is making us secure and immovable, who stand on the sacrifice Jesus already paid!  The pruning we’ve been facing has been painful, but necessary! Lord, strip it all away until you’re all that’s left. We welcome your pruning!! Prepare your Bride! Thank you for transforming us into something beautiful!

Fire of God to Purify!

Recently, I had the privilege of going to a worship event. My prayer partner and I were praying over the phone as I was arriving at the event. A few minutes later, she walked into her home and the fire was on in her fireplace spontaneously.  It had not been on when she left and now it was on!  What an amazing miracle from the Lord! We were amazed and called down the fire from heaven and continued to pray on the phone for several minutes as I entered the event, calling down the fire of God! There was a beautiful fire pit at the event and I sent a picture to her. She said it looks like a star. God was speaking! We felt the fire and glory of God as we continued to pray. Others around me started to feel it too. We began praying for the Bride of Christ to be purified. At the end of the night, one of the musicians sang a song about the fire! God was speaking! There was such a sweet presence of the Lord the whole night!

A couple of days later, as I was praying with my prayer partner again, I had a vision of clouds of smoke billowing at the top of a ceiling which reminded me of a backdraft. A backdraft happens when fire and smoke consume a room and there is no oxygen left. When a door or window is opened to allow oxygen in, there is an explosion as the oxygen touches the atmosphere.  I was praying about a difficult situation at the time and I felt the Lord say that when we focus on the negativity, all the oxygen disappears and we cannot breathe.  The cloud I saw is also the glory cloud as the Lord is bringing His fire to purify us. When His power hits us, there is an explosion of power that comes to transform every area of our life!  Praise the Lord! May His fire continue to reign down!

Obedience is Better than Sacrifice

Obedience is better than sacrifice. He asks us to do things that may not make sense. It’s not always easy, but the Lord always knows what’s best. There are several Biblical accounts that attest to this. Sometimes you won’t know right away why He’s asked you to do certain things. Faith means we trust Him even when we can’t see. Obedience brings growth, sharpening, and maturity. At times it feels like a lonely road when others don’t understand, but remember that ultimately we have an audience of one.
One of the things He’s asking us to do, is pray more than ever. Sometimes, He even gets us up in middle of the night. Are we willing to be obedient when it’s uncomfortable? He will renew our strength. Other times, we may feel weak, but in our weakness, He is strong. Be obedient, take one step at a time, and trust Him in the waiting. There’s so much peace and hope in Him, even in the midst of the storm!

Many people are disillusioned with the church and have been for years. The church has not been Christlike for awhile. Many do not go to church as they are few churches who fully go after Jesus. He’s renewing the church!
The Lord is preparing the Bride. He’s stripping the dross and making a spotless Bride. It’s painful, but if we allow His pruning, it’s so worth it! As I was travailing for the Bride, I saw Jesus riding on the clouds on a white horse-
“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭
Lord, prepare your Bride! We’re ready. Strip everything away till you’re all that’s left! All we want is you!! Fill our lamp stands and prepare us for your return! Our hope is in you! Our eyes are fixed on you and nothing else! We love you Jesus, you’re all we need. You’re all we want!! Jesus!

When the Lord points out 5:11 more than once, pay attention. There are no coincidences in the Bible and there’s a beautiful tapestry intertwined that tells a beautiful story. This is the season we’re in. Meditate on His Word and be comforted. 5:11 Scriptures-
“He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.” Job‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬ ‭
“But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.” Psalms‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬ ‭
“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.” Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬ ‭
“Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.” James‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬ ‭‬‬

Jesus the Great Shepherd!

Recently, as I was praying, I had a vision of a broken bone. I found out that shepherds will break the leg of the sheep who wander away, carrying them until they learn to follow the shepherd. Jesus is the shepherd and we are the sheep.
Pruning is painful, but necessary. It reminds me of the story in Luke 15 about the lost sheep and the Father leaving the 99 to go after the 1. That’s what He does. He loves us and goes after us when we wander. He disciplines and molds us. Allow it, however painful. It’ll be worth it! Give Him everything and put it all on the altar! He’s making us into something beautiful!

Royalty

The Lord has been giving me several visions of royalty lately. I had visions of Jesus’ face and a royal box made of gold and jewels. Yesterday, I had a vision of pomegranates. Today, a lady in my church brought pomegranates from her tree! In the Old Testament, priests wore pomegranates on their robes as they went into the Holy of Holies! He is bringing us into the Holy of Holies!
During worship, I had a vision of the Lord placing a crown on our head, similar to the ceremonies kings and queens participate in when they’re crowned.
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” 1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ ‭
It reminds me of the scene in “The Chronicles of Narnia” where Aslan crowns the children and gives them a new name.
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” James‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬ ‭
Many of us are, under severe trial, but hold on. He’s crowning us! Later, we began singing “Champion.” There’s a beautiful verse about the Lord crowning us and helping us overcome the giants in our lives. I started weeping at His goodness!!
Lastly, I had a vision of a menorah and I believe the Lord is speaking these promises over Israel and then the church at large-
“But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ ‭

His Grace Covers All

Yesterday, I was feeling some condemnation about finances and feeling I should be in a better place than I am. My prayer partner started speaking God's grace over me and I began weeping. Later that day, as I got on my elevator, there was a $5 bill laying in front of the doors. This was not only a sign of His grace as the number 5 symbolizes grace, but it was in the form of money. Isn't God amazing like this to send a sign to encourage us?
I want to encourage you in His <a href=""></a>grace for any past mistakes you've made in any area of your life. His grace covers it all! He is a God of discipline and He redirects us where we need to go, but He is also a God of grace and loves us unconditionally! He loves us, He loves us, He loves us! His plans for us are good, no matter what it looks like right now. Focus on what He is doing and not the enemy. Seek Him. He is stretching us to bring us fully into alignment with Him.
“I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth,” Ps. 121:1-2

Jesus the Living Water

I’ve been going through intense warfare as have almost everyone I know. I was up in the middle of the night pressing into the Lord. I had a vision of a tunnel, a huge underground water tunnel. I shared with my prayer partner who said this is the week we’re in, the Feast of Tabernacles and He is our living water-
“On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” John‬ ‭7‬:‭37‬-‭38‬ ‭
Then the Lord reminded me that He wrestled with the enemy in the Garden of Gethsemane as well as the desert. He understands the warfare, but what did He do in the face of it-He declared the Word of God! He spoke the truth in the face of the lies. This is what breaks the enemy’s power! Declare the Word, seek His face, and watch what He’ll do!
“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭

Fall into His Goodness

Today is the first day of fall. It’s a new season in the physical as well as the spiritual. As I prayed over this, the Lord spoke-
“Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭19‬ ‭
We are coming out of the cave where new life is springing forth and nothing will ever be the same! I’ve seen so many promises in my life fulfilled lately that I can barely keep up! Won’t He do the same for us all? He’s turning our mourning into dancing! Joy shall be our portion! Get ready, our best days are ahead!!

Promises Fulfilled

Recently during worship, I had a vision of a Christmas tree. Underneath there were a myriad of presents filled with all of the promises we have been contending for. As we looked at all of these beautiful gifts, we were like children on Christmas morning who couldn’t wait to open our presents. It was the suddenly of promises fulfilled.
In the past month, I have seen many promises fulfilled where the suddenly came to pass. I believe that we will see more and more of this in the <a href=""></a>coming days. After years of prayer, we are coming into our promised lands. One day things may look hopeless and then the next day the Lord does the suddenly! I am amazed at His goodness! In some cases, the things that we have sowed will come into fruition. In others, we will receive inheritances we have not earned.
A couple of years ago, I put my Christmas tree up a couple of months early. I am doing the same this year as a prophetic act to sow into this word. I hope you will do the same! He is good and our best days are ahead! Get ready for the suddenly and promises fulfilled!

Rest

The Lord has been speaking a lot to me about rest this year. He wants us to come from a place of rest, do things in His strength, and not ours. He wants to teach us to live every part of our lives from a place of rest and peace. I’ve gotten a lot better at this, but still have a ways to go. Yesterday, I spent the day by a beautiful pool in Newport Beach on my day off work. I prayed, journaled, read the Word, some Biblical books, and rested. There’s something about being in beauty and stillness with the Lord that sets things right. Today I soaked in worship and continued much of what I did yesterday. I do this daily, but it’s good to spend extra time in His presence as much as possible. My soul feels refreshed by the only One who can bring the peace that passes understanding! I encourage you to do the same!

Nothing is Impossible with Jesus!

As I soaked in the Lord, I looked at this picture of Jesus reaching His hand down through the water to grab the hand of Peter. It is from the story where Jesus walked on water in Matthew 14. I love this picture because it reminds me that Jesus is always there to help us. At first, Peter walked on the water to go to Jesus. He had faith because he had seen Jesus walk on water. But as soon as the wind was boisterous, he was afraid and began sinking, asking the Lord to save him. The Lord stretched out His hand and saved him, but then said to him “Oh you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 
 
If Peter would have kept his eyes on Jesus and kept walking in faith, he would not have sunk. Jesus in His mercy and love is there to help us, but He wants us to learn to walk in faith, without doubt or fear. It is then that we can do the things that Jesus did, in His name. Nothing will be impossible for us! Imagine if we walk in this faith continually what we can do in Jesus’ name!

Kingdom Abundance!

One of my mentors has told me about inventions his group of youth have invented over the years by soaking in the Lord and getting downloads from Him. They’ve created many products patented and sold to NASA and major toy companies that have made millions of dollars. The CEO’s of these companies have been amazed and asked how they got these ideas. He told them and has led many of them to the Lord. Amazing! The money they’ve earned has been used for Kingdom purposes to lead <a href=""></a>thousands of youth and others to the Lord and disciple them. Imagine if more Christians used these principles and what we could do for the Kingdom of God! The Lord keeps telling me He's sending us everything we need. Just like the manna in the desert. Just like the rain, we get all the water we need to survive and thrive! Praying for Holy Spirit revelation, strategy, inventions, solutions for us all for Kingdom purposes!!

The Power of Communion!

Recently I was at the “Her Voice” conference. One of my favorite segments was when they spoke about the power of communion. One of the speakers spoke about a lawsuit she was a plaintiff in. She took communion, prayed over it, and soaked the lawsuit papers in communion juice. She won the lawsuit! After the conference, someone testified of doing this with a 6 year old tax bill for $62K. After she did this act of communion, the bill was reduced to $2K! Wow! Others testified of soaking the perimeters of their homes, churches, or other buildings with communion and the safety of the Lord upon them. There’s power in the blood! I hope this encourages you to do this powerful prophetic act and declare the blood of Jesus over those things you’re contending for. Watch what the Lord will do!

Sound of Freedom

I saw the movie “Sound of Freedom” yesterday. It’s excellent and tastefully done for such a heart wrenching topic. It’s hard to watch, but necessary. I kept thinking about it for hours afterwards wondering how the Lord could stand the abuse of His children. I felt Him say He understood since His son was brutalized to pay for our sins. Wow!
He then reminded me of the scripture that says a child shall lead us! This is one of the reasons why the warfare over children has been so intense. Jesus, save them! Lastly, although it’s important to not cover our eyes to these things so we’ll know how to pray and fight against them, the Lord doesn’t want us ruminating on them. He wants us to focus on the good things He’s doing-
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭

Refining Diamonds

I saw a vision of diamonds in a v shape formation. The Lord showed me that the diamonds represent the refining He’s doing in us. He’s sharpening us and making us into something beautiful. The v formation represents how birds fly in unity, making it easier than flying alone. The Lord is doing this in us. As we work together in unity, things will become easier. The refining also comes within community as we sharpen each other. He created us to be in relationship, the relationships He’s called us to. Allow the Lord to cut out the relationships that aren’t fruitful and He will bring in the new. His divine relationships are always the best! As we do this, He’s making us into something beautiful!

God's Multiplication

Today, a group of teachers and I met to strategize about all the things we’d like to do in education reform, but in many cases it’ll take a lot of finances. Tonight, as I was thinking about it, I heard God say- I multiplied 5 loaves and 2 fish to feed 5,000 and I can multiply what you do! Never underestimate what you’re doing for the kingdom and how God can multiply it. Keep going, one step at a time. He’s multiplying it!!

Make Room for the New

I've been organizing my apartment, getting rid of old things to make room for the new, and cleaning away the debris. It’s amazing to see how much stuff we pile on and how many things we don’t need. I feel that it’s symbolic for what the Lord does in our lives. We can’t come into the new without getting rid of the old things weighing us down. Ask the Lord what you need to get rid of in your life and what He wants to speak to you through it. Watch as He brings in the new, which will be far better than anything you’ve given up!

God of the impossible!!

This week I’ve had anxiety over a huge mountain/giant that I’m facing that only the God of the impossible could conquer. Today I visited one of my mentors and we discussed, prayed into what the Lord is doing. We climbed a huge hill that had breathtaking views of hills and mountains. I felt the Lord say that as I made this climb to the top, it was symbolic of Him taking me to stand on top of this mountain in victory, conquering it in His strength. I hope this encourages you in the mountains you’re facing and the victory of the God of the impossible!!
“If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matt. ‭17‬:‭20‬ ‭

7:11 Scriptures

I’ve seen the time 7:11 over and over recently and I knew the Lord was speaking. The Lord pointed out these scriptures to me a few years ago and I felt Him lead me to them again.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Matthew 7:7-11
“Ask a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above.” Isaiah 7:11
“For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.” 2 Cor. 7:11
“All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God.” Revelation 7:11
The Lord wants us to ask Him for the things we need and for signs to show us the depths of His love. He loves our diligence in seeking Him, despite it all. He rewards the perseverant who walk by faith. He is bringing us into heavenly encounters where we will be lost worship, forgetting everything that is behind! Ask, seek, knock and worship Him through it all! Keep walking by faith on the path set before you and watch what He will do!

Gold and the Glory of God

Today before I went into church, a couple ladies and I were discussing the book Ladies of Gold. I was telling them how this book has ministered to me and some of the supernatural encounters I’ve had as a result. One of the ladies noticed we were all wearing gold today. God was speaking! 
 
A few minutes later, as we were worshiping, I looked down and noticed a speck of gold dust on my shoe. It was shiny and sparkly. I just smiled at the Lord’s confirmation as I’ve been praying for provision in several areas of my life. He’s so good! The Lord’s provision is here for everything we need: financial, divine health, salvation for the lost, open doors for our callings, revelation, strategy, etc. I had a vision of all of it showering down on us from Heaven. 
 
A description of the book says it’s a, “Compilation of the visionary teachings of Frances Metcalfe and the members of the Golden Candlestick, a Christian fellowship of individuals who lived in a California mountain community beginning a little more than seven decades ago. This fellowship of Christians attuned to the guidance of the Holy Spirit shared their visions with others, communicating the essence of their moments of rapture when they were translated into the heavenly realms.” These women would go to Heaven and have encounters with the Lord who’d give them the things they needed to minister on earth, including treasures/gold to finance their ministry. I have been praying for encounters like this for the past few years and have had several, including heavenly encounters. Although I haven’t received the treasures in the natural yet, He’s supernaturally given me encounters with diamonds and gold. I’m contending for more as I hope you will too, not seeking what He’ll give us just for our sake, but for kingdom purposes!

God is Taking Out Evil!

This is a long word, there are many layers, and supernatural confirmations. Trust me, it will bring you encouragement and it is for all of us! A couple of weeks ago, I had a very interesting dream that speaks of the freedom and preparation the Lord is bringing us. In the dream, I was on a crowded bus with many people. We passed by many cities. The bus driver called out that the next stop was New York City and everyone started clapping. A bunch of people rushed to the front to get off the bus as it stopped, but it wasn’t at an official bus stop. I was all the way at the back of the bus. By the time I got to the front, the bus was driving forward again. We passed by the New York City Library, Time Square, and all the beautiful places in New York. I knew I’d always wanted to go to the library due to the beautiful architecture and the fact that I was a librarian for several years. The bus driver wasn’t sure when he could stop again as there wasn’t an official bus stop. We were slowly getting away from the city center and some of us asked him to stop, so that we could walk. I was getting disappointed as I stood at the front of the bus.
Later, as I sat with the Lord to see what He was saying, I noticed He was speaking several things. New York City stands for freedom. New York and freedom have been recurring themes in my life the last few years which the Lord has spoken to me through. Last year I had a dream where Jesus flew me to NYC and we landed under the Brooklyn Bridge and a wedding was taking place. It symbolized the marriage of Jesus and His bride! He is preparing us for the marriage supper of the lamb. I could see the Statue of Liberty in the distance, standing for America, the land of the free, and the freedom He is bringing us!!
We were on a bus going somewhere together. I believe this symbolizes the corporate freedom the Lord is bringing us individually, our country, and the church. He is bringing us together in unity. People were clapping as we got to New York City. They were excited to go into freedom. They got off the bus too early and didn’t wait for God’s timing. Many of us were eager to get off the bus, but we cannot go ahead of God’s timing. It also reminds me of the parable of the workers in the vineyard where Jesus speaks about how God is no respecter of persons and gives His favor to those He chooses, especially the humble-
“So, the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” Matthew 20:16
I believe the library stands for the knowledge the Lord wants us to go after. The main place we find knowledge is through the greatest book of all time- the Bible! When I woke up from the dream I heard the chorus from the song, “Empire State of Mind” about NYC that Alicia Keys sings. Alicia means noble and exalted. This is who Jesus is and He is making us like Him, exalting us in His time. Keys stands for the Keys to the Kingdom He is giving us. Nothing is impossible when we partner our faith with His. I looked up the lyrics to the chorus of “Empire State of Mind” and there are several significant themes-
The chorus speaks of a place where dreams are made. (This has been a recurring theme the Lord has been showing me lately about the dreams He is fulfilling in our lives.) A place you can do anything. (We can do anything with God in His freedom.) Streets that make you feel brand-new. (This reminds me of the streets of gold in Heaven.) Big lights will inspire you. (The Lord is our brightest light who inspires us in all things.)
The Lord has confirmed the meaning of this dream over the past several days. Last weekend, I found out that a lawsuit that I have been involved in for two years, will be heard on appeal on 9/11. It is an extremely important case that will help all Americans and their freedoms. As I heard the date, I quietly smiled as I knew the Lord was confirming He is with us. This is a symbolic date for me as the first miracle baby I had the pleasure of praying for, was born on this day. A few years ago, the Lord told me that as 9/11 was a day of destruction, He was bringing freedom! I later realized that the tower that replaced the twin towers is called the Freedom Tower! God is so good!
Three days later, as I was on my walk, I was talking to another teacher involved in the lawsuit. I was giving her an update about our lawsuit being heard on appeal on 9/11. I prophesied that we will win and it will be a catalyst for freedom for Americans nationwide. I also declared that God is taking out the evil in our school district, reforming public education, and that God is bringing revival to our students nationwide. After declaring all of this, I looked over and saw a dead raven on the ground. I was amazed as the Lord has been speaking to me prophetically through ravens for the past several years. I have had many supernatural encounters with ravens, symbolizing the Elijah anointing, which have all been positive and encouraging. On the other hand, when I see a dead raven, I know they have a negative connotation and it represents the evil the Lord is taking out. This is the second dead raven I have seen in my path. The first was in 2021 and God placed the dead raven in the exact spot I was praying against evil. He is so good to show us when He hears our prayers and is doing something about it! He loves to partner with us and bring us encouragement! He is bringing us freedom! Declare His word, prophesy His promises over your life, and watch what He will do!

Trust in the Lord and Watch Him Perform Miracles!

Recently, I was in San Diego on an assignment the Lord led me on for education reform. It was an incredible weekend full of doors that only God could open! Saturday was incredible and I had another important meeting scheduled for Sunday afternoon. At 6:30 in the morning as I was waking up, I received an emergency call from the maintenance man in my building. He asked if I had a flood in my apartment and said all of the apartments around me were flooding. I told him I wasn’t home. As he checked my apartment, I messaged a few prayer warriors to agree with me in prayer. I had peace and knew that no weapon formed against me would prosper. A few minutes later, I was told that there was no flooding in my apartment. Hallelujah! God of miracles!
The power of prayer is powerful! I pray consistently, anoint my home with oil, take communion daily, fast regularly, worship, declare God’s promises, and trust the Lord with everything! There is so much power in all of this! In the past, I would have had anxiety and rushed home, missing an incredible day full of open doors. I hope this encourages you to seek the Lord, give it all to Him, and trust Him every step of the way with all the promises you’re contending for.
 
The Lord is good and even if things don’t turn out the way you envisioned, He truly works all things out for good for those who love Him! He is opening amazing doors and they’re far better than I could have imagined. I can honestly look back at all the hard things and say it was all worth it for the preparation He has done in me. Even though I am entering my promised land, it doesn’t mean the warfare has stopped. It means that I am learning to live in alignment with the Lord and not allowing the enemy to ruffle my feathers. I am not perfect though. Thankfully, He is not asking us for perfection. He is asking for sons and daughters to seek Him always, in everything! What would our world be like if more Christians lived this way?
“Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:3-4

Grace Grace Grace!

Today is 5/5/23 which equals 555. The number 5 stands for grace. Grace, grace, grace! I believe the Lord is bringing grace to every area of our life that needs it. Many of us have made mistakes, but the Lord is covering us in His grace. His grace brings forgiveness and recompense. He covers us by His blood as well as the things done unjustly against us. He repays what the enemy has stolen far and above what we could ask for! I’m seeing this in my life right now. Things I’ve <a href=""></a>contended for, for so long, are coming to fruition in such a beautiful, abundant way. His goodness is blowing my mind! We don’t deserve it, but in His great love, He bestows His unending, abundant grace upon us. We must receive it, believe we are worthy! Fix your eyes on Him and His promises. Believe His goodness and watch what He will do! I pray His abundant grace over you and every situation you’re facing. Grace, grace, grace!

Metamorphosis

Recently I had a vision of a caterpillar and heard the Lord say metamorphosis. Metamorphosis means change of physical form, structure, or substance especially by supernatural means. Everyone looks at the end result, the beautiful butterfly, but the metamorphosis and transformation that takes place in the caterpillar stage is critical. What the Lord does in us through the journey, rather than the end result, is just as important. During the caterpillar stage, the caterpillar prepares for the cocoon stage. They eat as much as possible. When we are in preparation, we are gaining the things we will need to fulfill the promises of God in our lives. This includes feasting on His word and being sharpened by any means necessary.
“Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O LORD, God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16
The cocoon stage is messy as the caterpillar is transformed by supernatural means. The metamorphosis transforms what once was, into a beautiful creation, unrecognizable to its former self. A few weeks later, I was going to bed and thinking of the fulfillment of the Lord’s promises in my life. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw a vision of beautiful butterflies. They had golden edges and there was lightning across a wide expanse of sky. I believe this is a vision of the beauty He is creating in us to fly above it all and bring strikes of His glory across the earth. Lean into the Lord and His metamorphosis in your life. You will look back and say it was worth it, for what He did in you! Your promises are coming, but you must have the tools that will be used in the promised land. Beautiful things are forged over time and through the fire. Do not despise the process. Lean into the Lord and trust Him. Our greatest days are ahead!

Being in Love!

Do you know the feeling of being in love? It’s a giddy, heart pounding euphoria. You are joyful in anticipation of the one you love! I have been feeling this over the last few days and there is no man in my life, at present. It’s Jesus! It’s my beloved! I believe He is wooing us even closer to His heart, where He wants to romance us. I am absolutely undone with all of His goodness in my life right now. It is a consistent surrender to ask Him to help me in every area of my life, throughout the day. He has brought me far more help, divine relationships, strategy, favor, open doors, than I could ever do, just by being in His presence. It is a partnership of love and surrender. He is so good! Sit at His feet, like Mary who chose the better way, and watch how He will romance you! Life can get very busy, but nothing compares to being in His presence!
“My beloved is mine, and I am his,” Song of Solomon 2:16

Fear Not

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭
Press through with the things that are scary. Give it to the Lord and watch how He’ll do far more than you could do on your own. When we do this, He saves us energy, time, resources, and gives us far more in His perfect way and His perfect timing!
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭(Please read Matthew 6:24-34, it’s so good!)
My message to the Goliath in my life- Have you heard the story of David and Goliath? I'm like David, you're like Goliath. Read the end of the story! Boom! God wins! This is going to be my new motto. What about you? The enemy has overplayed his hand! Enough is enough! I have my 5 smooth stones and they’re ready to go!

Press Through!

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭
Press through with the things that are scary. Give it to the Lord and watch how He’ll do far more than you could do on your own. When we do this, He saves us energy, time, resources, and gives us far more in His perfect way and His perfect timing!
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭(Please read Matthew 6:24-34, it’s so good!)

Perseverance

The Lord has been speaking to me about perseverance lately. I think of the woman mentioned in Luke 8 who had the issue of blood. She’d tried everything on her own for years. She knew Jesus was her only answer. Despite the crowds and the odds of getting Jesus’ attention, she preserved and pressed through. She simply touched his garment and was healed. God sees our perseverance and, in His timing, His promises are fulfilled in our lives. Sometimes we feel nothing is happening, but more is being developed in us than we may know. The Lord is also preparing things behind the scenes and doing things only He can do. Trust Him, press in, persevere, and in His good timing you will see your promises fulfilled!

“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:3-5

Laughter is the Best Medicine!

The Lord has been showing me that laughter is the best medicine. I had two opportunities to laugh yesterday. I showed my students a brief candid camera episode during our morning warm up. We loved it and laughed. Then my colleagues and I met to go over all the things our school district asks us to do and try to figure it all out. I saw it as so ridiculous at one point, I started laughing so hard I was crying and couldn't stop! May the joy of the Lord go before us and be our <a href=""></a>strength!! Laughter is warfare as well. Let's laugh at all the plans of the enemy in our lives right now and declare God's truth!

Positive Attitude Changes Things!

I’ve been teaching my students about the importance of having a positive attitude. I told them when I’m tired, not feeling well, or going through a hard time, if I change my attitude to a positive outlook, I often have a great day! I teach them that having a positive attitude improves us physically and emotionally. Above all, it improves us spiritually! Although I can’t share this with them in the public school setting, I can pray for them! 
 
Our thoughts are powerful! What we focus on becomes our reality. I don’t know about you, but I’ve wasted a lot of time over the years on negative thoughts and the results have not been good. Thankfully, we can turn back to the Lord and He can bring recompense for what we’ve lost. Focus on the good things God has done in your life and declare He’ll do it again and more! Declare His promises over your life and watch what He’ll do!

California Double Blessing and Revival

California has had unprecedented rain this year.   Los Angeles doubled our rainfall in March, three months before the end of the annual rain year.   Records have been set all over the state for abundant rain and snow.  California is always in a perpetual drought and the enemy has fought hard to take this state.   I feel like the Lord is laughing at the plans of the enemy with this abundance of rain.  It also speaks of His great blessing and double anointing.
We have had the greatest revivals here and it’s been prophesied this revival will be even greater.  The enemy has done everything he can to prevent it.  It is not easy living here!  Pray for California.  It is true that where California goes, so goes the rest of the nation.
Our mountains are snowcapped, there are wildflowers everywhere, our lakes are filling up, streams, and waterfalls are abundant.  This is a picture of what the Lord wants to do in this great state!  On Easter Sunday, we are celebrating the 117th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival, which spread across the world.  Many of us have contended for this golden state for so long.  I recently visited Aimee Semple McPherson’s home, the Bonnie Brae House, and Azusa Street asking the Lord to do it again and more!  May the beauty in California in the natural turn into spiritual beauty over this beautiful state and spread across our nation and around the world.  God is not finished with California and her best days are ahead!

Distractions and Detours

The Lord has been speaking to me about distractions and detours.  I have noticed that when you are about to experience breakthrough, the enemy will do everything he can to take you off track.  This can come through distractions in the form of people, situations, etc.  As we mature in the Lord, we begin to recognize these distractions and do not allow them to take us off track.  Sometimes they do, but as we go back to the Lord for direction, He puts us back on track.  We need to ask Him what distractions are in our life that are keeping us off track and cut those things out.  As these roots are pruned, new life will spring forth in the form of open doors, new opportunities, and divine relationships.
I have also noticed there are detours.  As I was driving the other day, my maps navigated me around traffic and road construction to get me to my destination.  There were roadblocks and detour signs.  The Lord started speaking to me about how He detours us at times.  Often this is for our protection and other times it is due to His divine timing.  We must embrace these detours and patiently wait on Him.
Sometimes the detours are from the enemy to take us off track from where the Lord is leading us.  If we recognize this, we will not allow it to sway us.   We can look at these things and ask the Lord to bring us breakthrough.  The Lord often allows difficulty in our lives to sharpen and stretch us.  When we look at the adversities in our lives and ask the Lord what He is teaching us, rather than fighting it, it is amazing what we can learn.  I look at the giants that have been in my life and after they’ve been conquered with the Lord’s help, they look so small.
What energy have we wasted on these “giants” that look small in the Lord’s sight?  I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to waste anymore energy on these “giants.”  Seek the Lord as to what distractions or detours may be in your life and ask Him to redirect you.  I promise you that as you give up the things in your life that are keeping you off track, the Lord will exchange it for something far better.  It is the great exchange!

He’s in the crushing! 

He’s in the crushing! I’ve been obsessed with watching videos of how natural perfumes and essential oils are made.  Flower petals are crushed vigorously to make this sweet-smelling fragrance.  This is similar to our lives.    We are crushed in order to make something beautiful.  I have been through extraordinarily hard things in my life, I am sure many can relate.  What the Lord is making out of it all is something beautiful.  The crushing takes away the impurities until only a pure, spotless bride remains.  I am seeing this in my life over and over and I am forever grateful.  I can honestly say it’s all been worth it! Are we willing to be completely crushed by the great wine presser?  I promise you that it is worth it!  When we press into Him and allow the crushing, He uses what the enemy meant for evil, for good!
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose,” Romans 8:28

Rainbows Signify His Covenant

In my encounters with the Lord, He led me to watch the movie “The Wizard of Oz.”   I realize that this movie has some negative themes, but it definitely shows the difference between good and evil and has a lot of prophetic significance.  As I have shared previously with “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” there are several references in this movie that are a reminder of Heaven.  The beginning is in black and white, but turns to color when Dorothy arrives in Oz.  It reminds me of our salvation; suddenly our lives are full of color and we see things in a beautiful, new light.  The Yellow Brick Road reminds me of the streets of gold in Heaven, as well as the fields of beautiful flowers.  Imagine how much more glorious Heaven must be! 
​ 
Dorothy and her newfound friends, the scarecrow, tinman, and lion, go on a journey to find the Wizard of Oz in hopes he will give them what they’re missing: courage, wisdom, and a heart.  In the end, they realize they learned these things on their journey and didn’t need Oz to give it to them.  This is similar to our journeys with God, we learn more in the process than with the end result.  I love when Dorothy says, “There’s no place like home!”  Heaven is our home and the Lord is teaching us to live from Heaven on earth. 
 
Lastly, one of my favorite songs in the movie is “Over the Rainbow.”  It is incredibly prophetic and rainbows signify His covenant with us.  I believe the Lord is about to make our dreams come true, where the clouds will be far behind us!  Get ready, our best days are ahead! 
  
Over the Rainbow   
  
And the dreams that you dream of 
Dreams really do come true 
Someday, I wish upon a star 
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me 
Where trouble melts like lemon drops 
High above the chimney top 
That's where you'll find me 
Somewhere over the rainbow 
Bluebirds fly 
And the dreams that you dare to 
Oh why, oh why can't I? 
Well, I see trees of green and red roses too 
I'll watch them bloom for me and you 
And I think to myself 
What a wonderful world

The Blood Of Jesus Transforms

At the beginning of the revival, I felt that I was missing out on what others were experiencing.  I decided to put some worship music on and soak in the Lord.  He took me into a heavenly encounter and I realized that revival can happen anywhere.   I saw streets lined with beautiful, shimmery butterflies in various shades of reds.  Butterflies represent the transformation the Lord is bringing us and red signifies the blood Jesus shed for our sins.  I saw the material on parade floats and Piñatas.   The Lord reminded me of the verse, “Taste and see that the Lord is good,” Psalms 34:8.   He also reminded me that Heaven is full of wonder, beauty, adventure, and fun!  He wants to bring Heaven to earth and make our lives colorful, similar to the old black and white movies that have had technicolor added to them.  Suddenly these movies come alive! 
  
I felt as if I was in a child’s wonderland and was led to watch the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” which is filled with prophetic significance.  Charlie hope​s​ that he can​ win one of five golden tickets to tour Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.  He doesn’t find it in the one chocolate bar his family can afford to buy him, but later finds a coin hidden in the street.  This reminded me of all the treasures God leaves for us to find, if we are looking for them.  Charlie buys a chocolate bar even though it’s been reported that the last winning ticket was already found. He doesn’t buy it to win, but for the sweetness of it. He generously uses the last of his money to buy one for his grandpa as well.  Charlie finds out the last winning ticket was a hoax and, in his hope, he slowly opens the candy bar.  He finds a golden ticket in his faith and generosity! Charlie runs home in excitement to show his family and wishes his grandpa could go with him. This hope propels his grandpa to get up and walk for the first time in 20 years!  Faith and hope create the miraculous! 
 
The day finally arrives when Willie Wonka opens his chocolate factory to the five winners and their parents.  They encounter a wonderland filled with candy in all shapes and sizes!  It’s carnival-like and full of endless delights.  God created life to be abundant and fun!    The song “Pure Imagination” in the movie reminds me of the imagination we need to have encounters with the Lord.  The encounters and visions I have had have often made me wonder if they were real.  The Lord reminded me that the more faith we have, the more real these encounters become.  
 
​Each area of the tour is geared to tempt the children according to their weakness.  They succumb to these temptations one by one.  Charlie and his grandpa are the only ones who truly enjoy themselves.  The rest of the children are spoiled, which is not rewarded.  Charlie is honest and humble and, in the end, he wins the chocolate factory as a result!  Willie Wonka takes Charlie and his grandpa on a tour in a glass elevator, which goes every which way.  They break the glass ceiling to fly beyond the factory.  The Lord reminded me of a word He gave me a couple of years ago that He is breaking the glass ceiling and any limitations in our lives.  The sky's the limit!   In the end, Willie Wonka says to Charlie, “Remember the man who suddenly got everything he ever wanted?  He lived happily ever after!”  I love this because I believe that the Lord is about to make our dreams come true!  I have had several dreams about Disney recently as well, the place where dreams come true.  This is what the Lord wants to do!  Put your faith in the Lord, seek Him in the secret place, and watch what He will do!  Our best days are truly ahead!

Sonic Boom From Zion

Lately, I have seen the fiery, golden face of the Lion of Judah.  Other times, I simply see the mouth of the lion.  The roar of the lion allows the sound to go forth and it changes the atmosphere!   The importance of what we declare is significant.   As we release the sound, it changes the atmosphere.  For we were made in His image to create with Him. 
 
I keep hearing the Lord say sonic boom.  A sonic boom is a sound which occurs when shock waves are formed as an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound.  Our sound goes forth to prepare the way of the Lord.  Our voice is powerful and our obedience to what He asks of us, changes things!  Allow your sound to go forth!  Blow the trumpet in Zion! I encourage you to read Joel 2, as this is what the Lord is doing! 
 
(See picture above-I recently took this picture of antique microphones, which speaks of the sound.)

Dreams of Music and Worship

I have had several prophetic dreams recently.  Many of them have been about music and worship.  I have felt the need to listen to classical music more and have been swept away in the Lord’s embrace.  He’s the conductor of the most incredible symphony!!  Everything and everyone plays together to create the most beautiful tapestry! 
I was even led to go to Disney Hall recently to hear the Los Angeles Symphony.   Surprisingly, the Lord was a huge theme.  Many of my dreams have had Disney themes.  Disney is a place where dreams come true.  I believe the Lord is making our dreams come true!  Often, the Lord loves to intertwine what He is showing us to bring confirmation and reinforce the revelation He is bringing.  It is important in this season to look for the ways the Lord is speaking to you.  There are no coincidences with the Lord.   He wants to bring us strategies about how to pray, what steps to take, and He wants to answer our prayers above all!  Get quiet with the Lord and allow Him to lead you.  May He speak to you in this place, in your dreams, and throughout the day!  May the great conductor create the most beautiful symphony in your life! 
 
See picture of Los Angeles Symphony Children's Choir and Orchestra at Disney Hall above.

Anticipation of the Lord

Since the revival began, I have had impulses to do things that I have rarely or never had an inclination to do.  I have heard others say the same.  The Lord is doing a new thing and I want to encourage you to be obedient to how He is leading you, however strange it may seem or however you feel you will be perceived.  Remember, David danced undignified before the Lord!  He is teaching us to fear Him and not man. 
​ 
During worship, I have repeatedly had an impulse to march and dance!  I saw a vision of Cirque du Soleil type dancers dancing and jumping in ballet circles with white flags.   We are worshiping with the angels of heaven!  I heard several repetitive phrases such as, “Step, step, step!”  and a metronome instrument that helps musicians stay on key. As we worship and are led in obedience, we are learning to be in step with Him and He is helping us to be on key. 
Another repetitive phrase I heard was, “Low, low, low. Get low!” I had the feeling of needing to bow as low as possible in complete surrender to the Lord.  I heard, “Lay it all down, lay it all down, lay it all down at His feet!”  It reminded me of the powerful worship song by United Pursuit.  He is asking us to lay it all down and give it to Him!  Lay it all down; all your preconceptions and plans. He has something far better. It’s like the story of the little girl with the plastic pearl necklace who finally gives it to her daddy after he asks her several times. He then gives her real pearls in exchange.  He had them all the time, but was waiting for her to surrender her most treasured possession for the greater one he had for her.  If we could only see what the Lord has in store for us, we would give Him everything! 
I heard the Lord singing the worship song, “You never let go,” over us.  Read the lyrics, and listen to these songs.  This is what He is doing!  I also kept hearing, “Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful. Beautiful are the feet who bring good news!”  He is bringing us good news!  
 
Another phrase I heard was, “Baca, Baca, Baca.”  I had to look up what this means, it means to weep.  Interestingly, many have said that there is great repentance in these revival meetings.  I have felt the need to breathe like a woman in childbirth, groaning. Deep calls unto deep! Everything on earth is groaning in anticipation of the Lord!   I also felt the need to take communion during worship.  There is an importance of taking daily communion in this season.  Make sure you are asking Him to reveal anything you need to repent for, known and unknown.  The Lord is in all of this!   Ask Him what He would have you do and be obedient.  He is teaching us and building our faith in the process!

Revival and a River

I have had several prophetic dreams surrounding this revival.   Recently I had a dream that has a lot of prophetic significance.  In the dream, I was on my way to visit a friend and stopped at the Columbia Gorge.  This beautiful valley is lush and green with over 90 waterfalls.   The Columbia River runs through it, creating a natural boundary between Oregon and Washington. 
  
I wondered why I would dream about this place as I have only been there once. As I researched what the Lord was saying, I was amazed at all the revelation He showed me!  The Columbia Gorge is named after the ship Columbia Rediviva.  It is best known for being the first American vessel to circumnavigate the globe.  The ship’s captain discovered the Columbia River on this ship as well.  The Latin meaning of Rediviva is revived and the Latin meaning of Columbia is dove.  The Holy Spirit is bringing revival to Oregon and Washington, which will go around the globe!  There have been several prophecies over the years about the Lord bringing revival to the West Coast and then spreading around the world.  I believe the Lord wants to confirm this so that we will partner with Him in declaring His promises. 
  
Columbia is the female national personification of the United States and was also a historical name applied to the Americas and the New World. The association has given rise to the names of many American places, objects, institutions and companies, including the District of Columbia.  This is interesting as the Lord is reviving Washington D.C., the center of American government.   Despite Columbia originally being named after Christopher Columbus, who has since been discredited for discovering America, the Lord is using it!  There are no coincidences with the Lord and He never wastes anything.   The prophetic significance of Columbia and all it represents is amazing!   I love how the Lord speaks and takes us on journeys to unravel the puzzle pieces of His revelation!  I love that this dream has a beautiful river in it as I have had many dreams about rivers and the refreshing the Lord is bringing us.  The River of His Spirit is flowing throughout the earth reviving our spirits and cleansing us for the things to come. 
  
I also think it is interesting that this dream took place in one of the most beautiful places on earth.  A place that looks like a representation of the Garden of Eden or Heaven.  There are many heavenly encounters He wants to bring us so that we can fully commune with Him in the coming days.  Ask the Lord to give you dreams of revelation and encounters with Him.  Read Joel 2, it is rich with prophetic imagery of what the Lord is doing!   The more you press into Him and steward what He shows you, the more He will do!

Heavenly Experiences And Visions

I wanted to describe more of the heavenly experiences and visions I have had during worship and prayer recently.  In one vision, I saw a beautiful blue sky with white clouds.  I also saw the Sistine chapel ceiling, where Michelangelo beautifully illustrated many Biblical stories.  Several days later, in the natural, I saw a picture of the inside of the Capitol Rotunda Dome.  There are pictures along the rim of the Dome depicting American history and the Glory of Heaven is painted beautifully on the ceiling.  All of this reminded me of a recent dream I had of the cloud of witnesses sitting in a circle among the clouds watching us.  They were praying for us and were so expectant for the things to come.  I love how the Lord ties things together and brings things to our remembrance.  There are no coincidences with Him! 
 
As the Lord took me to the heavenly realms, I saw a white cottonlike substance with golden crowns interwoven throughout, shiny intertwined threads wrapped in light, white sparks of fireworks, and angel wings that were shimmery with the colors of the rainbow.  I saw royalty bowing before the throne on their faces in surrender like the three kings who came to worship baby Jesus. They were dressed in the most exquisite colorful robes and laid their crowns in front of the King of Kings. 
  
I saw waves crashing above me, swirling around like waves of His glory.  It reminded me of the swirling incense that I have seen in the Spirit during worship. I felt I was in a slipstream of His love!  I saw a huge, jagged rock bursting forth out of the ground.  It created an earthquake with waves spreading like a ripple effect, similar to waves of music.  They were waves of His glory! He’s shaking things and spreading His glory!  Everything is worshipping the Lord!  His frequency changes things and it’s palatable.  I also saw colorful bright lights crisscrossing in the air which reminded me of the electricity I recently saw!  (I spoke about electricity and frequency in the word I released on March 9 if interested).  
  
I believe the more we press into the Lord, the more we will have these encounters with Him.  He is healing the trauma we have experienced, especially in the past few years, so that there is no separation keeping us from experiencing all of His glory!  I encourage you to get into the secret place with the Lord as much as possible in this season.  There is something He wants to release to us that can only be found in this place.  It is beautiful and amazing, but you must press into Him to see it!

His perfect number

I asked the Lord, why did He wait until 2023 to bring revival. What’s special about this number? The numbers in 2023 equal 7, His perfect number. Amazing! I also heard someone say it’s the year of Psalm 23, one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. He’s been consistently showing me this is a season of rest and that He’s preparing the table. I’ve had several encounters with the Lord around these themes since revival started. Beginning in January, I’ve had nightly prophetic dreams. I can barely keep up with all the revelation He’s sharing. I’m hearing others are experiencing similar things. More Lord!

An Electrical Storm

Recently, I had a vision of an electrical storm.  I sensed the Lord using this electricity to heal people spiritually, emotionally, physically, and in every way.  I have often felt a tangible representation of this during worship.  What would normally take a long time to heal or be impossible, the Lord is accelerating.  It reminded me of a story a friend told me about a man who received strategy from the Lord to heal missionaries from snake bites.  Since they had no access to anti-venom, many would die.  The Lord showed this man that if a cattle prod was administered, the electricity would cause snake bite victims not to die.   How amazing is this?  Too much electricity can kill a person, but the right amount used in the correct way can heal.  I have heard of other ways electrical currents are used to heal as well.  May the Lord continue to bring us amazing strategies like this! 
 
The Lord has also been speaking to me about frequencies.  When you look at a sonar map, you can visibly see sound waves and patterns.  Electrical currents can be measured as well.  Our worship changes the atmosphere and prepares the way for breakthrough.  It may not be visible in the natural, but our sound changes things!  Our sound can also be a shout to the Lord or other ways He leads us.  All of it cuts down idols and strongholds.  It is a beautiful partnership between us and the Lord to create an atmosphere for what we are contending for.  Do not discount the power we carry in Christ or think that the things we do in obedience to the Lord make no difference.  They are huge in the Kingdom of God!  Shout unto the Lord and make a new song!  I sense in my spirit that worship is going to look very different this season and He may ask us to do unusual things.  Be obedient and watch what the Lord will do! 
 
Here is a video that is a visual representation of the frequency of sound waves in the comments.  It speaks of our amazing God whose handprint is in every facet of creation!
