In the course of ministry, people often ask me, "How can I hear from God better? Does God really want to speak to me?" The answer is a resounding "YES!" To illustrate this, I want to share a brief encounter I had with the Holy Spirit that convinced me once and for all that God speaks to His children without exception. One morning, the Holy Spirit awakened me, saying, “I am so much better than you think I am!” This was an unexpected early-morning conversation starter for someone who was still struggling to open her eyes! After that initial "teaser," He immediately brought one of my favorite scriptures, Ephesians 3:20-21, to mind: “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (NASB) Holy Spirit continued speaking as I pondered those words. He said, “Man reads these words in Ephesians and sees function: ‘I can DO more than you ask or imagine.’ But all that I DO is rooted in all that I AM, and I AM much better than you imagine I am!” The words “far more abundantly” (above) are an English translation of just one word in the Greek: perissos. I am not a Greek scholar, but Thayer’s dictionary* gives me a much better idea of what is meant here:
We serve the Man of Glory whose arms, legs, and feet are fire, like burnished bronze in a furnace. (Rev. 1:14-15 & Daniel 10:6) Think: glossy, bright, liquid sunlight! There’s fire all around Him, in His walk and His service. These external descriptors speak to His form and His function. This same Man is also described as having eyes like flaming torches and a glow-in-the-dark face that can’t be missed even when the lights go out! Those eyes reflect the fire within, giving us a glimpse into His character, which is equally glorious. The Lord wants to SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND our understanding of His character and nature so that we BELIEVE He will speak to us daily. He desires to give us, each day, our daily bread. Not only that, but HE IS our daily bread: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (John 6:51, NIV) As manna fell daily in the wilderness and each man gathered up his provision for the day, so the Word of God is dropped like dew into believers’ hearts each morning as they meditate on Christ. (See Exodus 16; Numbers 11:8.) If you can receive it, Jesus became living manna, and the answer to Israel’s question in the wilderness, “What is it?” is that this “bread of angels” is Christ Himself (Psalm 78:23-25). Angels feast on and obey the Word of God. How much more should we do the same? Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” The bread He asked for was not just physical, but spiritual (See John 4:32). If Jesus expected the Father to give Him spiritual food, then we can expect Him to release revelation to us as well. Why would a good Father give us a stone instead of bread? Ultimately, “give us this day” is a prayer for daily encounters with God’s Presence. It's an invitation to communion and fellowship with a God who is so good, He wakes us up in the morning to remind us of His desire to be with us! Can you feel the excitement He has to be with you? To talk with you morning and night, just as He commanded you to do with your beloved children? (Deut. 6:7) But what does He want to talk about? How do we encounter this glorious, burning Son of Man? Many people are so afraid of the "unknowns" a prayer relationship entails that they hide behind religion instead. Rules, rituals, and regulations often feel safer. Yet if people knew how SUPERABUNDANTLY GOOD God is; how much better than all the joy they could imagine finding in a human being, they would run from religion, right into the arms of a wonderful, radiant, and joyful God! No true believer in Jesus’ time avoided Him. Children ran into His arms to receive their blessing. The sick didn’t blame Him, they craved Him! The poor were His best friends. The toughest types left everything to follow Him. And that was before He was glorified! HOW MUCH MORE, then, will this glorious Christ, whose blood opened the way into relationship with the Father, reveal His goodness to you? HOW MUCH MORE does He desire to give you peace, joy, fruitfulness, and glory? Listen to Jesus’ prayer in John 17:24: “Father, I DESIRE that they also, whom You have given Me, may be with Me where I am, to see My glory that You have given Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (ESV; emphasis mine) Hear Him say to you as He did to His first disciples: “Whoever has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21 ESV Because God is so good, He desires to have fellowship with His creatures, satisfying our deepest needs with His life-giving Presence. HE IS the daily bread we pray for! John assures us that we can be CONFIDENT in God’s desire to speak to us. He writes: “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have before Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.” ~ 1 John 5:13-15 NASB Dear friend, settle once and for all that you are created in God's image and meant to hear from Him! That God DOES desire to speak to you. And that part of your inheritance as a believer is to ask for and receive manna. Daily bread. Those sweet-as-honey cakes, baked in the hot coals of Christ’s glorious Presence and delivered to you by messenger angels. God's words are the supernatural substance you MUST have to continue ministering on this earth. You don't need to convince HIM of this. He knows! You need to be convinced yourself. Daily bread: eternal, enduring provision, is there for you when all other supply is cut off. There is no fear of lack in the Kingdom. There is so much more than you can ask or imagine! You only need to BELIEVE, and to ASK. Right now, He's waiting to hear your voice. Ask for more! Deborah For more encouragement in daily prayer, read Why Pray? Reasons to Reach for God.

For the past week, the Lord has brought me into several encounters concerning His deep desire to give members of His Bride both a VOICE and a VISION.
Many in the Body of Christ went through severe trials and testing prior to Passover. Many battled the devourer at the gates of destiny and were victorious. Those overcoming ones now stand at the threshold of a new season with new opportunities! I believe the Lord wants to establish you and pour out power and anointing you have not experienced before as you begin to advance and conquer more of your promised land. He wants you to have a voice and a vision! 
Dear Friends, Early last week, the Lord gave me what I believe is a corporate word for the Body of Christ to illustrate the times we are in and to encourage those who are waiting on the Lord for their next assignments. In prayer, I saw a vision of a relay race. The race had already started and some runners were running their circuit. However, those running were not the focus in this vision. Instead, Father focused my eyes on the runner next in line: the one waiting at the starting block. I admired the strength and poise of this waiting runner. Though I could not discern the runner's gender, their body was perfectly primed. Every muscle had been developed and every cell of their being was ready to run. They were positioned exactly where they needed to be, ready to receive the baton from the runner who would shortly approach them. I sensed instinctively the price that runner had paid to get to this point. As with any sport, their training had not been easy. My eyes then moved to the coach standing beside this waiting runner. The coach was leaning forward in an equally "ready" posture, with his left hand on his knee and his right hand holding a stopwatch. He leaned into the starting block area with anticipation, joy on his face, and I knew that the coach represented the Father Himself. The entire scene was full of energy, excitement, and movement. Speed, strength, and precision all mattered here. The runner was ready and waiting for the handoff. At that moment, the Lord highlighted the one element most people overlook. He showed me that the most crucial element was something that would either advance or disqualify this runner: self-control. If the runner moved too soon, they would be immediately disqualified. If they failed to exercise self control and wait for the “kairos” moment of exchange, they would forfeit all their years of training. As I meditated on the vision, I heard strong CAUTION in my spirit for those who are rightly positioned and ready for their next assignment in this season. Continue to WAIT upon the Lord right now. Let the Lord release you at the precise moment required for you to run! At a time when current events and culture inside and outside the Kingdom “excite” action, it is critical to be self-controlled. To move or advance too soon is to be disqualified, forfeiting the very mission for which you have been trained! OBEDIENCE RATHER THAN SACRIFICE To highlight the importance of this vision, the Lord brought me to 1 Samuel 10-13. Many are familiar with the story of young Saul, whom Samuel anointed privately as king as Saul searched for his lost donkeys. There were strong confirmations of Saul's call to governmental leadership, including a changed heart and a prophetic anointing (see 1 Samuel 10). At the ensuing public anointing, Samuel had to call Saul out of hiding, so timid (and seemingly humble) was this leader! Yet only days later, Saul lost favor with God. Why? Samuel asked Saul to wait for him for just seven days after his crowning before offering a sacrifice at Gilgal. Yet the enemy brought pressure through the Philistine army. 1 Samuel 13:8-9 reports that “Saul…and all his troops were gripped with fear. He waited seven days for the appointed time that Samuel had set, but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the troops were deserting him. So Saul… offered the burnt offering.” Saul later told Samuel that he was seeking the Lord’s favor! But he was hasty, disobeying the Lord’s command. He forfeited his extended right to rule, and the Lord chose a more loyal servant, David, to carry on the Kingdom legacy. Timing is as important as training. Self-control is the final fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5, yet it is the first and most important fruit needed to keep in step with the Spirit. I believe the Lord is encouraging many in His Body today to exercise self control so that you do not forfeit your Kingdom destiny. No matter what your call or how anointed you are, there is a “kairos” moment to run your course. Like Samuel, God will come at the appointed time in this new season and will not delay. TRUST and SELF CONTROL are your keys to overcoming. Moving with the Spirit requires that even those final few moments of waiting are ENTIRELY surrendered to Him. Curious, at the end of my vision I asked the Father: "How much time is left on that stopwatch?" He replied: "Seconds, Deborah. Only seconds." I pray this vision will empower you to trust in God's timing and wait for the Holy Spirit to release you into the next leg of your race successfully, right from the start. Run well for your heavenly crown! Deborah Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Mark 11:23 ESV Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem… God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and truth.” John 4:21, 24 I had a dream this morning that I believe will bring hope to many who have been praying for “impossible” things to come to pass. In the dream, I was at home studying John 4 in depth. Then, almost instantly, I was taken to a mountaintop in Switzerland. For me, Switzerland represents both a neutral territory and a place of exquisite beauty, hope, and promise! The Lord ministered profound grace to me on a Swiss mountaintop 38 years ago. In the dream, it was either spring or summer. The mountain was green and rocky, and many people were with me at the summit in the late afternoon sun. Suddenly, the entire mountain began to move. In reading Mark 11 over the years, I had often envisioned mountains being “lifted up and cast into the sea,” but had never pictured it happening quite this before! The peak of the mountain became the crest of a wave. The ground just beneath the summit began to be pulled inward as the wave formed into a barrel shape. The earth buckled and the mountain bent with a flexibility that seemed naturally impossible! Then a large boulder fell from the top as if an avalanche were starting. In response, I moved down a few steps to the right to take shelter under a large rocky outcropping. When I reached this protected place, I saw a white gate that connected to an adjacent mountain. This gate was a Point of Entry (POE) to Switzerland, a border crossing. There were many people on the other side of the gate trying to get in. As a matter of life or death, it was considered safer to be on the Swiss mountain where I stood than on its twin peak. A young mother in the crowd pleaded with me to let her family in, but she had no documentation. I took her aside to explain that illegal entry was not possible. There were legal parameters for the immigration process and she simply did not fit the qualifications. She was of course upset by this. At that moment, however, the mother received a phone call; an old, black telephone handset was passed over to her, above the crowd. As she took her call, I was transported in the Spirit to see the person on the other end. He was a tall, kind, greying old man who stood in the middle of a nearby town in Switzerland. It seemed he had the credentials, authority, and goodwill to admit anyone he wanted as his friend. Smiling at me, the man granted the woman and her family permission to enter and to readmit me as well (I had crossed the border to speak with the woman). Here, the dream ended. MOUNTAINS ARE MOVING! When I woke, I heard the Lord saying: “THE MOUNTAINS ARE MOVING AND PERMISSION IS GRANTED TO ENTER YOUR PROMISED LAND!” The Lord then urged me to share this word, saying there are some of you who have been up against a mountain of impossibility that shows NO SIGN of movement. You have done your part; you’ve told the mountain to move, but it has stubbornly remained. Your decrees have felt ineffective; your faith has taken a hit. Yet in one day, everything can change. I prophesy to you that the very mountain you have felt “stuck” on all these years will become the very wave that accelerates you into your Promised Land. The Lord is SUDDENLY and UNEXPECTEDLY removing every curse and bringing you into the land of your blessing! There has been a divine timing to your release; it will not delay. I see legal obstacles being removed for some of you as a higher authority activates your call, releasing favor. I see whole families being granted access to promises where demonic “border guards” have kept you out. I see the joy of the Lord being released with such unwarranted favor and blessing that it will impact not only you but also those around you. I see a freedom coming that encompasses more than you dream possible! Yet I also sense a caution: the change you seek may not come in the form you expect or the way you desire! In an earlier part of the dream, as I looked out from the summit to a beautiful view of the other mountains, I noticed wide, paved paths on another summit miles away. I longed to hike there, but there was not enough time to reach it before sunset. Like all of us, given the chance, I would have chosen the easier path! Yet it was the more challenging mountain that brought a greater breakthrough in the dream. Interestingly, the name Switzerland in Germanic can mean "strength;" its Celtic name could mean "clearing." I prophesy that you will have CLARITY IN UNCERTAINTY and STRENGTH AND BREAKTHROUGH IN YOUR SUDDENLIES. You do not need to fear; you will know what to do and where to be at just the right time. Your obedience to what the Spirit of God tells you will result in freedom for others as well. JOHN 4: A SHIFT IN MINDSET In John 4 (the key text highlighteded in the dream), Jesus “had to travel through Samaria” to meet the woman at the well. He had a predetermined appointment with destiny in enemy territory. On the offensive, Jesus unlocked PERSONAL AND REGIONAL BREAKTHROUGH using the weapons of fasting, prayer, prophetic words of knowledge, compassion, and scriptural decrees to reach a woman who was by all accounts impossibly out of reach of the Father’s blessing!
I believe some of you are about to see your prayers and decrees turn a long-standing curse into a blessing. Heaven is on the offensive to set captives free! Your faith is the catalytic converter that breathes new life into toxic situations. As He did in Samaria, God is now releasing fresh revelation that turns weary believers into active reformers. The new testimonies coming forth now will impact families, cities, and nations for the Kingdom of God. Finally, I hear the Lord saying: “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” (Acts 18:10) Keep worshiping, keep speaking, keep decreeing that your mountain WILL MOVE. Build an altar of worship to the Lord on your "Mount Ebal" (Deut. 27:3; Josh 24:1) The enemy has hindered your testimony, but God is on the move. God has already provided for your protection and release. “For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU.” Matthew 17:20 ESV PRAY & DECREE WITH ME: Father, thank you for the blessings that overtake me! (Dt. 28:2) I believe that my decrees are powerful and effective against this mountain the enemy has used against me. I repent for the times I have doubted Your goodness or despaired of my breakthrough. By faith, I say to this mountain of opposition, “MOVE ASIDE! IMPOSSIBILITIES ARE BECOMING BREAKTHROUGHS AND MY BREAKTHROUGHS ARE MY TESTIMONIES!" I command all resistance to be broken in Jesus’ Name. All legal loopholes blocking my progress MUST YIELD to the Word of the Lord. Stubborn fear and arrogant pride MUST FALL. I will not be ashamed or disgraced because the LORD is on MY SIDE! I bind spirits of deception and self-protection in the mighty Name of Jesus. I will continue to worship God in Spirit and truth. I agree with YOUR ways, Lord: TURN THIS CURSE INTO A BLESSING! Thank you, God, that unbelief is being converted to faith and impossibilities bow to the One who makes all things possible. I ask You to shift every demonic mindset that opposes You - including any ungodly mindsets within me - so that those who have been kept from their destiny can now cross the border and enter fully into their call. (Philippians 3:12-15) Thank you that You never leave us or forsake us. I pray for every reader of His Inscriptions to be BLESSED with BREAKTHROUGH! Amen. Deborah 
Dear Friends, As I encountered the Lord in prayer today, I felt great encouragement in the Spirit. I could see the battles raging in the Spirit, yet I heard the Lord say that in these times of turmoil, those who LISTEN will hear His voice LOUDER and MORE CLEARLY than ever before. The enemy's warfare is substantial; even relentless. Yet I saw that believers who responded with INSTANT OBEDIENCE to the words, strategies, or instructions the Lord gave personally would find places of DEEP REST and SUSTAINED STRENGTH that were available no other way. 
Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood and has not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the LORD And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face - even Jacob. Selah. ~Psalm 24:3-6 NASBS Psalm 24 is a powerful psalm of David for the year 2024. It teaches us how to ascend above the chaos and collisions to enter into promised encounters with the Lord. Spiritual encounters happen more easily as we consecrate ourselves to lives of purity, rejecting rampant deception. Hebrews 12:22 also confirms that spiritual ascension is not a new-age concept but a biblical, mystical reality. God longs for you to live in the Spirit, experiencing heavenly places with Him! To help you ascend spiritually, the Lord asked me to take a prophetic word from 2021 and expand it into a book. The new 40 page book: CALLED TO ASCEND: A Prophetic Mandate to Soar in the Spirit, is now available on Amazon as a paperback and an e-book. I invite you to purchase a copy of the book to use in your personal quiet time or small group study. Each chapter contains study questions to help you apply the prophetic words to your life. The Lord urged me to send this particular book far and wide; please help me share the message with friends and churches who are seeking deeper encounters with the Lord. You can also leave a book review on Amazon, which helps boost its reach. Click on the image above or the button below to purchase. Thank you!

Dear Friends,
Many times, people feel frustrated that they don’t hear clearly from God, yet they never take specific steps to cultivate a listening ear.
Since we have biblical promises that believers can hear from the Lord (John 10:27), it’s up to us to listen, lest we drift from God's good plan for our future!
Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars; She has prepared her food, She has mixed her wine; She has also set her table; She has sent out her maidens, She calls from the tops of the heights of the city: "Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks understanding She says, "Come, eat of my food and drink of the wine I have mixed. "Forsake your folly and live, and proceed in the way of understanding."
~ Proverbs 9:1-6 NASBS
Dear Friends,
I had a wonderful opportunity to pray along California's coastline last week with a few members of our prayer team, inviting the Lord to protect the West Coast of America. With 840 miles of shoreline in the state, there's a lot to cover!
I know that many of you are praying and anointing the regions where you live right now, too. I believe today's post will inspire you!
Our little team (including participants from both San Diego and San Francisco) prayer-walked, worshiped, and shared communion throughout San Francisco; at the Golden Gate Bridge; at the beach in Pacifica (meaning "Peace"); at the Presidio in Monterey, in Santa Cruz, and along the coast at Half Moon Bay.
When I returned to New England, I felt strongly that the Lord wanted me to share some decrees and scriptural proclamations you can make as you pray for your own regions and coastlines. I believe these will be a blessing to you.
ANTICIPATING GREATER GLORY
The week before our team's journey, I was also led to pray inland, in the Central Valley / Shasta area of Northern California.
For a full day, the Lord took me on an unexpected prayer journey to a mountain waterfall and reservoir next to a hydroelectric power plant.
I discovered it was one of several that President John F. Kennedy had visited in 1963 on his 11-state "Conservation Tour."
In fact, JFK visited this location just 55 days before his assassination.
In partnership with the "Bureau of Reclamation" (Now the Department of the Interior), Kennedy assisted the National Park Service in reclaiming Western state water supplies for energy, irrigation, and recreation.
As I worshiped at this waterfall, I felt so strongly that the Lord wanted me to see and touch this picture and promise of revival up close.
Deep calls unto deep at the sound of His waterfalls! (Psalm 42:7.)
God is calling believers into even deeper places of the intimate knowledge of His Presence and power. His glory will soon be poured out like torrents of living water.
God wants to "reclaim" His people and empower end-time believers to carry His glory like never before!
That is not all, though. I had no idea what the Lord was about to reveal to me!
When I returned to the prayer room, the Lord told me to map out Kennedy's tour of the western states. I discovered that 60 years ago, JFK had visited the very place where I stood. September 28, 2023 marks the anniversary of his visit. November 22 marks the day of his death - 55 days later.
Not coincidentally, the Lord added that JFK also visited Klamath Falls, Oregon on the same 1963 tour.
Next; almost miraculously, God led me to a prophetic vision He'd given to renowned Bible teacher Fuschia Pickett.
In 1963, the same year the Lord had already highlighted to me, Dr. Pickett had a significant encounter with the Lord concerning the end-time church and how revival would come.
As Pickett stood in the sanctuary of a church in Klamath Falls, Oregon, the Lord opened to her a vision of what His end-time glorious church would look like.
Not surprisingly, it looked like hydroelectric power, with living water filling up deeply-excavated reservoirs until they overflowed. Layers of underground pipes were to be laid first as God "networked" remnant believers and revival-minded churches together. Then with the flip of a switch, the power of God would ignite an unprecedented flow of the Holy Spirit!
Dr. Pickett wrote:
"The Holy Spirit used the analogy of a hydroelectric power plant to explain to me what He was going to do. (I knew nothing about electricity; I couldn’t have fixed a light switch if my life depended upon it.) Hour after hour He carried me into the revelation of this vision, showing me heaven’s dunamis power.
"The Greek word for the power of the Holy Spirit is dunamis, from which we derive our word dynamo. The analogy of a hydroelectric power plant was a dramatic word picture to reveal the dunamis work of the Holy Spirit. It would not have surprised me that the Holy Spirit would describe His working in the heavenlies using such an analogy."
(Read her entire vision here.)
Pickett's vision was so remarkable at the time that a scientist - who knew Fuschia could not have understood the workings of hydroelectric power except by the Spirit of God - told her she had described with perfect accuracy how such a plant should work!
Friends, it is not an accident that God sovereignly brought me to that waterfall, opened up time and history with a map, and then connected us with such a poignant prophetic word concerning end-time revival!
I am more convinced than ever that we are close to a significant "kairos" moment in Kingdom history which has been anticipated and desired for many years! Fuschia Pickett has gone home to be with the Lord, but the legacy of her vision and encounter with the Lord remains.
I hear the Lord saying: "Let your longing match My desire."
God is reclaiming both people and lands for His Kingdom and preparing us for His glory!
Press in with everything you have for a great outpouring in this hour.
Do not say that things are continuing as they always have; recognize that for many years God has been supernaturally networking believers, digging deep wells and reservoirs that can contain His outpouring. He is still patiently longing for repentance and restoration!
Much of the deep refining the Body of Christ has experienced in recent years points to God's preparatory work of "excavation." My unexpected journey and the connection to Pickett's 1963 vision are important markers of God's present-day intentions to FILL HIS HOUSE with glory!
You can go as deep as you want to in God. The choice is yours.
I encourage you to read Dr Pickett's wonderful encounter concerning hydroelectric power here. Her vision is for an appointed time, and we are now closer than ever!
May your faith be stirred and your spirit supercharged to pray in Holy Spirit-designated cities and coastlines all over your nation. God's heavenly "Bureau of Reclamation" is at work right now, and you are part of that department!
There is NO LIMIT to what God will do through the prayers of believing saints. Let your longing now match His desire to redeem, restore, and reclaim!
In Him,
Deborah

Dear Friends,
Happy National Day of Prayer!
On this special day, I’d like to share with you a dream I had concerning imminent mobilization in the Body of Christ.
Dear Friends,
During a prayer retreat before Rosh Hashanah / New Year 5783, I experienced several profound encounters in the Glory of God. These are some of the things the Lord revealed to me during that time.
Every word from our Lord’s mouth is like a cup of compassion. His life-giving words are liquid love, meant to sustain body, soul, and spirit!
While this is a slightly longer word for the year, I encourage you to meditate on each portion of what He’s shared with me, allowing the depth of His wisdom and love to penetrate your hearts.
The eight sections of this word are listed below. Feel free to read one section at a time, pausing to pray and allow Holy Spirit to minister truth to you at this significant time!
- THERE'S GLORY IN THE SOUND
- SOUND WILL BE YOUR SUPPLY LINE
- CALL FOR THE GLORY!
- PRESENCE WILL BECOME GLORY
- GLORY IS EMBEDDED IN YOUR DNA
- WEAKNESS TRANSFORMED INTO WISDOM
- ASHES TO BEAUTY: MORE TRAFFICKING EXPOSED
- A GREAT AWAKENING OF HOLINESS AND HOPE!

Dear Friends,
Early in the morning on 8.13.22, the Lord drew me into an encounter with Him. I heard Him say: “The scepter of wickedness will not remain over the land of the righteous.” (Psalm 125:3.)
I was immediately shown a vision of a “scepter of wickedness.” It resembled a rough, brown branch or wooden staff, much like a walking stick. Carved into it were words like “slavery;” “debt;” “fear;” “poverty;” “borrower;” “bribery;” “money;” and “interest.”
All the words on this scepter spoke specifically of economic oppression that was being inflicted worldwide through ungodly leaders.
The Lord then highlighted three Scriptures.
The first was 1 Timothy 6:10: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”
In context, 1 Timothy 6 warns believers about false teachers, greed and covetousness along with the need for us to guard the “deposits” of faith and contentment we have made for eternity.
The second scripture was Matthew 19:21. Here, Jesus responds to a rich young ruler’s question, saying: “If you want to be perfect (mature; complete), go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
The third scripture was from Matthew 6:24: “You cannot serve God and mammon.”
Dear Friends,
I hear the Lord saying to the weary: “I am your Lifeline and your Rescuer!”
In a vision this week, I saw the Lord Jesus holding a thick rope which extended from heaven to earth. His desire was to rescue His people by drawing them up higher with Him in the Spirit.
The ones who took hold of the Lord to ascend in this way were deposited on a cloud in the heavens. All around them was darkness. I heard the Lord say that He was a “Lifeline” and a “Rescuer.”
When I asked the Lord about the cloud, which was very high above earth and surrounded by a vast space, He spoke into my ears a verse from Psalm 18:19: “He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.”
Dear Friends,
Times of stress can make us feel as though we have been thrown overboard, tossed from the safety and comfort of our ships into a tumultuous sea. Traumatic events - whether injuries, losses, wars, or relational fractures - shock our systems like a plunge into cold water, momentarily destabilizing us. All we can do, it seems, is watch as waves and wind batter and shatter the only sources of security we have ever known!
We are living in a time of unprecedented trauma, when storms of epic proportions are being unleashed against our world. It’s a time of compounded trauma: each event triggers another. Stress is emerging like bands of a storm, wanting to draw us into the very center of its turmoil.
King David expressed so well how this feels. He wrote: “For the waves of death encompassed me, the torrents of destruction assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.” (2 Samuel 22:5-6)
It is important for the Bride of Christ to remember that her security is in Christ alone, not in things she might hold dear. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Although it may seem like the Lord Himself has cut your lifeline and detached you from the safety of any “ship” you have relied on in the past, I believe this SEVERING from the old is what’s necessary for a stronger TETHERING to your empowered, new-creation life!
Christ in you is the hope of glory! I hear the Spirit saying: “We have this hope as an anchor for our souls.”
Dear Friends,
Happy New Year!
This word for 2022 can be viewed and shared on YouTube as well as on the blog for those who prefer to watch or listen. I believe what the Lord is sharing with me at this time will be a blessing to you as you set your focus on the new year! At the end of this post you’ll also find a link to a companion study sheet which you can download or print for free.
On Christmas night, I was awakened by the Lord at 3:16 AM. Throughout that night, I was also given a series of three related dreams, which I will share below. When I awoke from the third dream, I heard this phrase ringing loudly in my ears: “2022 is the year of VISION and PROVISION!”
VISION and PROVISION are significant themes for the Body of Christ in 2022. The Lord wants you to know He is releasing KEYS OF DELIVERANCE this year which will UNLOCK your ability to SEE more clearly and RECEIVE more abundantly!
Using the “code” of 3:16, Holy Spirit highlighted a number of specific scriptures as He unfolded this word. The verses are included below, woven into the content of the prophetic word itself.
In October, I released a word about the anointed "Josephs" God was raising up and sending out, a word that had been "brewing" in my spirit for over a year. (You can read the word here.)
As we enter the season of Thanksgiving and celebrating Christ's birth, I invite you to partner with the Joseph anointing yourself as you hear about some of the new things His Inscriptions is helping to birth!
WATCH AND PRAY! GOD IS POSITIONING YOU TO RELEASE THE LIGHT OF HIS GLORY AROUND THE WORLD
11/16/2021
For God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
~2 Corinthians 4:6
~2 Corinthians 4:6
Dear Friends,
Early in the morning on November 14, 2021, I was worshiping Jesus, inviting Him to share His heart. He began speaking to me about “The watch of the Lord.”
Intercessors often describe the “watch of the Lord” as an all-night prayer meeting; watching and praying for Israel; or perhaps being “watchful” against the enemy. All are essential!
Yet at this particular time, I felt a strong desire in Christ’s heart for us to remember to WATCH HIM.
Dear Friends,
I’m sending a brief post today to let you know that during the month of September, His Inscriptions will be offline as I spend extended time in prayer.
One of our His Inscriptions readers, a longtime friend and intercessor herself, has graciously shared her home with me while she and her husband travel to Europe. My amazing family has also released me to rest and focus exclusively on the Lord during this time. (Give them some love if you're nearby!)
It’s interesting to me that Christians call prayer times like these retreats. I’d much rather call them advances!
When we take time to rest from labor and seek the Lord’s face, we tap into spiritual empowerment like no other. Not even an expensive vacation can recharge the human spirit the way time with the Lord can - because it’s the ministry of the Spirit that gives life to both body and soul!
As I “advance” to a more private location with the Lord, I’ve asked my dear friend and board member Elizabeth Cartier to share her thoughts with you on the importance of rest, in hope that you’ll join me in focusing more deeply on the Lord this month.
Special thanks to those who have sent me encouraging words lately. I value your prayers for protection, refreshment, and clarity as I tune my ears to our Good Shepherd’s wonderful voice!
Blessings,
Deborah
Dear Friends,
Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the "Jesus Gathering" in central Massachusetts. Friends of His Inscriptions alerted me to these gatherings, which also took place in California and Texas this year.
The purpose of these gatherings is to unite believers of any denomination as they allow the Holy Spirit to move freely through worship, fellowship, and prayer - with no agenda.
The Lord moved powerfully! I want to share a few brief testimonies with you from that time together.
On Saturday morning, some of us gathered in the Douglas Camp chapel where Charles Finney once preached. This is a wonderful, large barn-like building* with sky-high beams and a truly "New England" feel to it!
Almost immediately, the Spirit of intercession fell and I was impressed to share a short testimony about how God brought me to college in New England 36 years ago.
I told the story of how the Christian founders of Wellesley College (along with several other local universities) had prayed that if the school ever ceased to glorify God, it would burn to the ground.
On March 17, 1914, Wellesley did burn, and nearly closed. (Details here and here.)
Nearly every Christian-founded university in New England now operates from intellectual and worldly, idolatrous spirits, not honoring the Lord or their founders' ideals.
We prayed corporately for the fire of God to return to these New England institutions, and to touch the youth which come from all nations into the Boston area. After an anointing for healing and deliverance fell, we spent the next hour ministering individually to one another.
Dates are significant, and one of the most interesting things about the March 17th, 1914 date is that it corresponds to our March 17, 2020 shutdown from COVID-19, 106 years later.
What's remarkable is that this year, 2021, marks 106 years since the start of the Azusa Street Revival!
Dear Friends,
A few nights ago I was awakened by the Holy Spirit, who began walking me through the texts of Joshua 3 & 4, bringing them to life line by line, without my Bible!
He wanted to reveal what it feels like to be “in the middle of a miracle.”
This portion of the book of Joshua tells the story of Israel crossing the Jordan into the Promised Land. It parallels the miracle of the Red Sea crossing with Moses. I believe these words will be encouraging to those of you who are called to be leaders and prayer warriors for the Lord.
Dear Friends,
Today the Lord reminded me of an encounter I had with Him during a prayer retreat on April 11, 2021, asking me to share it with you. The encounter illustrates what happens behind the scenes through an ongoing cycle of prayer and communication in the Spirit. I believe Father wants to encourage the Body of Christ with a visual understanding of what is happening in the Spirit as we pray.
The parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor.
1 Corinthians 12:23
