Dear Friends, Both Christian believers and New Age adherents promote the idea that “every step should be a prayer.” Yet I hear the Lord summoning His children to a higher call than that. The Lord says, “Every PRAYER is a STEP, and to neglect to pray is to fail to advance in this hour!” To walk in the Spirit is to let prayer determine your steps, not the other way around. It is to see and hear prophetically where the Lord is taking you, then step into that trajectory to find victory awaiting you! Prayer is good, but it can be rooted in a works-based mentality that is not Spirit-led, bringing weariness. I hear the Lord saying, “It’s time to relearn how to walk! For there are some who have experienced new birth, but have not yet learned to walk in the Spirit. And others walk, but have grown weary in their walking. Work FOR Me has replaced rest IN Me, causing their strength to fail.” If you feel like every step you’ve taken lately is heavy and precarious; or if gaining a firm foothold seems difficult, I believe the Father is saying, “Come to Me, and I will show you how to walk with Me. Lean on Me, and your ways will be secure. Let Me refresh you, bringing stability and balance where it is lacking. For in many cases, the way you have been taught to walk is NOT the way I walk!” Today, the Lord wants to elevate the way you walk, so that you walk on firmer ground, taking secure steps in the higher realm of the Spirit. He wants to help you find a new path and a new momentum for a new season! VICTORY AT EVERY STEP Oh, the places you will go when you walk in the Spirit! There is rest and ease in being “carried along” in the current of the Holy Spirit’s movements, walking on higher paths your feet could not possibly travel! There’s an efficient fruitfulness in spiritual rest that is unattainable by human effort. The prophet Isaiah paints a picture [of anointed King Cyrus] that describes this Spirit-accelerated walk perfectly: "Who stirred up one from the East, whom victory meets at every step? He gives up nations before him, so that he tramples kings underfoot; he makes them like dust with his sword, like driven stubble with his bow. He pursues them and passes on safely, by paths his feet have not trod." ~Isaiah 41:2-3 ESV; emphasis mine. God is looking for believers who trample the enemy underfoot, yet to become this kind of person is to learn that your real ‘feet’ are not located at the lowest point of your body; they are located in your spirit-man! It is by the Spirit that we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). ARE YOUR STEPS BEAUTIFUL? There is an ebb and flow to walking in the Spirit, much like the tides. First, the magnetic “pull” of the prophetic calls you higher and sets your sights. Then, the gentle “push” of intercession moves you forward. Prophecy and prayer partner together to lead you into the fulfillment of God’s promises for your life and the right timing and placement of His words in your world. As a believer, you will advance only to the degree that you pray.
Isaiah paints a second picture of the one whose feet are called “beautiful” as they carry fresh revelation from the Throne: 'How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace and brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, and says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"' ~Isaiah 52:7 NASBS News is, by nature, fresh revelation or information.
Simply put, God’s beautiful footmen and footwomen proclaim the REST and VICTORY only Christ can give! ARE YOU HEARING THE LORD’S COUNSEL? EVERY believer is anointed to be a messenger of good news (Isaiah 61:1). Yet to attempt to advance apart from the Spirit is to err. Jeremiah puts it bluntly: "I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied. But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds." ~Jeremiah 23:21-22, NIV; emphasis mine. Likewise, Paul says in Galatians 5:16-18: "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law." ~NASBS And: “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” ~Ephesians 5:15-17, KJV The King James Version’s use of the word “circumspectly” implies guarded caution and discretion in movement; the kind of “looking around” in all directions that is only possible through the Spirit of Wisdom. (See Revelation 5:6) It is better to remain standing in the council of the Lord, watching and waiting for the fresh word of the Lord, than to run with yesterday’s news! Many Kingdom-minded people rightly believe we need prayer before movement. Not many believe prayer IS the movement. Prayer is the higher path, an ancient one covered up by the simulated speed of society. Ask yourself:
COMMISSIONED THROUGH REST: TWO ENCOUNTERS The Body of Christ has entered a new season of increased healings and miraculous deliverances. Yet hearing and healing are found only in places of stillness and peace. Two recent encounters underscore the importance of this Presence-based rest. First, in a dream, I entered the house of a pastor’s wife, whose name meant “Resurrection.” The wife (who represented the Bride of Christ, with Jesus being her Chief Shepherd or ‘Pastor’), was busy nearby, doing the work of the Kingdom. In the dream, I was often sent to her house to assist in cleaning and organizing her household, since this was one of my gifts. Entering the Bride’s bedroom, I knew that the bedsheets needed to be changed. There were at least four or five sets of previously-used sheets in muted grey or yellow colors, but as I went to put them on the bed, I found that all the fitted sheets were too small! The bed had an extra-deep mattress. No amount of “stretching” the old would work; new sheets (for deeper intimacy) were required. As I watched in the Spirit, I saw the new set of sheets which was to be put on. They were a lovely raspberry color whose deep red tones, I knew, represented the fruitfulness of the Holy Spirit. God was highlighting that living from that place of “deep rest” and guarded intimacy is now a key to the Bride’s success! In the same dream, I was warned by the Father that the enemy would try to hinder the place of deeper rest and fruitfulness through a large-scale attack, similar to COVID. But the Father’s hand was upon the Bride as He tested and prepared her faith, making sure she could withstand the challenges ahead. SURRENDER YOUR WALK: PUT YOUR FEET UP! In a second encounter, I heard the Lord saying that some are so weary from walking in their own strength or at the world’s hurried pace that they need to “put their feet up” spiritually. I saw a picture of the Father holding the feet of one of His children in His hands, rubbing them. If that’s you, stop right now and put your feet in the Father’s hands! Surrender your own works, and allow the Lord to massage His oil into your soles and your soul! Rest until He releases fresh wisdom for how and where to walk and speak again. The apostle Peter wrote, “With the Lord, one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” (2 Peter 3:8.) Yet I hear the Lord saying, “People desire the second part of that scripture (for its promise of quick acceleration) far more than they desire the first! I am Lord over time! My ability to multiply the time in each day means that as my children surrender each day to Me, their peace is multiplied, and they are free from the tyranny of the enemy’s pressure.” I feel a keen desire in the Father’s heart for those who will commit as much time in prayer as He requires in this season, trusting that extended rest will yield the very “acceleration” most tend to prefer. The phrase “put your feet up” is also a play on words, with yet another reminder to walk in higher realms! PRAYERS FOR YOUR STEPS
I pray that as you pray, your prayers will become your steps and you will partner with peace, not chaos! May you reproduce what you see happening in heaven, bringing heaven to earth in practical, prophetic ways. One word or picture from the Spirit of God is all it takes to set you back on the right course. And the good news you announce to others will bring victories only heaven can give! Deborah 
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. 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 
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
Supersonic to Hypersonic: Another Anointing for Increase and Mobility in the Body of Christ!
5/3/2023
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.
