Dear Friends,
God is so many wonderful things to the believer: Father, Deliverer, Friend, Protector, Refuge, and Savior. Through the gifts of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, God loves and guides us as we walk through the "wilderness" of this world on our way to the Promised Land of heaven! As I mediated on Psalm 68 and Numbers 10 this week, the Lord highlighted three particular attributes of Himself that He wanted me to share with you. He is a Cherished Husband, a Prophetic Guide, and a source of Rest and Refreshment at Rephidim. Listen to this audio teaching from our Leaders' Bible Study to discover beautiful prophetic parallels between Israel's encounters in the wilderness and the Body of Christ's journey today. Blessings, Deborah 
Dear Friends, Over the past few weeks I have been deeply moved by the heart of God for restoration and for the emergence of what is best described as a ‘Judges 4 Company’ of anointed Deborahs and Baraks. These believers are characterized by unusual partnerships with each other and with the supernatural. Before reading the rest of this word, I encourage you to stop and reread Judges 4 & 5 to familiarize yourself with the scriptures concerning this time period in Israel’s history, which closely parallels our own!

Dear Friends, If you long to experience the depth of God's love for you this Passover season and cross over into the fullness of your appointed destiny in Christ, I invite you to join me Saturday April 20th for a special online event with Gary Beaton!* Gary is the Founder and President of Transformation Glory International. He has traveled extensively around the world preaching the gospel and bringing a life-changing message of the Father's heart, intimacy, and friendship with God. His passion is to prepare the Bride of Christ in purity for her soon-coming Bridegroom and to impact lives by the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. He’s well known for imparting a greater understanding of prophetic intercession, the reverential Fear of the Lord, and hearing the voice of God. After meeting Gary four years ago, I’ve come to know him and discover his beautiful heart for intimacy with God. He carries sharp prophetic discernment balanced by rare integrity of character which is much needed at this time. If you are hungry for more of God's Presence or desire greater intimacy in your relationship with the Father, please make plans to join us online that Saturday afternoon! Gary will speak on "Becoming a Friend of God" and we will make time during the webinar for questions and answers, prayer and impartation. *Note: WEBINAR HAS ENDED BUT REPLAY IS AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY/APPLE PODCASTS HERE! Blessings, Deborah 
Dear Friends, For several weeks now as I’ve listened to the Lord, I have felt such a fiery passion in His heart for intimacy with His Bride! There is a loud cry and a standing invitation in the Spirit for the Body of Christ to “come up higher” and abide in an ascended place of intimacy with our risen Lord. I had a vision of the enemy trying to advance ahead of the Bride, digging ditches and depressions along the path and desiring to trip her. But her intimacy with the Lord and her ability to walk in the Spirit kept her high above such traps. Even as Satan is trying to disturb and deconstruct heaven’s influence on earth, God is shaking demonic foundations and bringing heaven to earth! Specifically, I’ve been drawn to Christ’s words to the church of Philadelphia in Revelation. I’ve heard the Lord say that in order for His Bride to be a present-day overcomer, there are two doors she must access. Two doors must always remain open. The first door is the door to the Kingdom of Heaven. 
For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. ~ Luke 8:17 
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in You I have unwavering trust and I rely on You with steadfast confidence. ~Psalm 25:1-2; AMP REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR PROPHETIC MENTORING COURSE!

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!
Dear Friends,
Praise God for the Light of Life, which no darkness will ever extinguish!
Our family celebrates the birth of Jesus into the world this weekend and the birth of His love into our hearts forevermore.
There is no greater comfort; there is no better gift! We feel very blessed to share fellowship with you through God's wonderful Holy Spirit.
Please know that we're praying for you and are so grateful for your love and partnership with His Inscriptions this year. Thank you.
From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Kevan & Deborah Perkins
Dear Friends,
This week, I heard the Lord saying:
"A STRONG anointing will be upon My Word from this point on. Where you once found My Word dry and meaningless, you will now see Bible verses come alive to you as I shepherd you through your daily readings.
"In this season, I am breathing FIRE onto My Words that will ignite encounters you have never known before. You will find Me as a good Father who is actively at work to win you back from the lies and deceptions of the enemy."
Dear Friends,
Two years ago while ministering in Tennessee, I had a middle-of the-night encounter with the Lord.
In a vision, the Lord seated me at a student's desk and showed me a workbook soon to be published for believers in the "School of the Holy Spirit."
The book's topic was spiritual leadership. I sensed it would be foundational to those wanting to grow in Spirit-led ministry.
In this vision, the Lord asked me to turn the book over and read the back cover.
When I did, I discovered that the author's name was my own.
The vision closed.
Today I am happy to announce that this very book - PROPHETIC LEADERSHIP - has just been published!
BOOK COVER
Dear Friends,
Throughout this week I have felt such encouragement from the Lord concerning the present course many in the Body of Christ are on.
I believe the Lord wants you to know that the steps of obedience you have taken to walk in new, unfamiliar, even uncomfortable things this season are a blessing to His heart! God is carefully ordering your steps; watching over every detail of your life so that you arrive at your destination whole, complete, and empowered by His Spirit.
The direction you are taking and the timing of the fullness of the new things that He's calling you into is so perfectly ordered and orchestrated. No matter what things look like around you, the Holy Spirit within is paying close attention to the details. He’s causing all things to work together for you, not against you!
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,
In a series of encounters since Rosh Hashanah, the Lord has been speaking to me about what to expect in 2024 (Hebrew year 5784).
Above all, I believe the Body of Christ will see significant EMPOWERMENT this year as we embrace our beautiful friendship and partnership with the Holy Spirit.
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,
There are so many wonderful prophetic words concerning the amazing glory and vindication the Body of Christ is beginning to experience. My heart is stirred with faith and expectancy to see God continue to empower His Body in greater ways and with the fullness of His Spirit!
At the same time, there is even greater resistance from the enemy, who continues to do everything in his power to stop the advance of God’s army.
Today, I want to share with you a powerful vision the Lord gave me to show us how to overcome this resistance!
Dear Friends,
In a series of encounters over the past few months, Father God has taken me repeatedly into His heart, speaking of His desire for wholeness and healing in the Body of Christ. There has been a sustained emphasis on healing and restoration. For many this process is ongoing.
This morning as I encountered the Father’s heart again, I saw His intense desire for union and communion with His children.
Dear Friends,
This week, I felt such a burden in the Lord’s heart for those facing weariness and discouragement as you wait for certain promises to come to pass.
Knowing that God is “there,” aware, or omnipresent isn’t enough when you’re weary or facing severe trials. You must have a personal, authentic faith-connection with God in order to keep drawing His strength into your life!
As I talked with the Lord about the disappointment and delays I know many are facing, He took me back to the story of Caleb, revealing fresh insight about what it means to be faithful to God for prolonged periods of time.
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,
Through multiple encounters in prayer this week, the Lord has been highlighting Acts 16, speaking to me about “prison breaks” and breakthroughs coming for the Body of Christ.
Those who have felt “locked up” in impossible situations for so long are about to see supernatural breakthroughs as the Lord Himself unlocks prison doors on your behalf, bringing you out into new places of freedom!
This is what the Lord says: "Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears; for your work will be rewarded," declares the Lord, "and (your children) will return from the land of the enemy." ~ Jeremiah 31:16-17, NASB
For thus says the LORD of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the LORD of hosts. The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the LORD of hosts.’” ~ Haggai 2:6-9, ESV
Early this morning, Holy Spirit awakened me and began speaking about specific types of prophets that are going to arise. He called them “Prophetic Specialists.”
These "prophetic specialists" will be trained in the School of the Holy Spirit to carry anointings and words of knowledge unique to specific or unusual situations. They will be so accurate in their giftings that the words of truth they deliver will be considered signs and wonders in themselves!
The Spirit took me to the book of Ezekiel 40-42, where a description of the unbuilt (likely millennial) temple includes measurements of gateways, the altar, and city and governmental boundaries in highly specific, mathematical dimensions.
This, Holy Spirit said, indicated the degree of specificity that the Lord intends to release through a new class of prophets.
The Lord will respond to the enemy’s heightened attacks and demonic expansion with increased signs and wonders from heaven. Detailed words of knowledge and specific prophecies will help minimize hindrances as the Bride of Christ moves toward her desired goals and objectives.
Dear Friends:
In this Jewish month of Tevet, I believe the Lord is challenging His Beloved not just to grow up, but to give up! He is looking for those whose hearts are fully surrendered, or given up, to Him.
God's desire for your wholeheartedness is not selfish. In fact, it is your best form of protection. Your choice can be a matter of life and death.
As a Christian, the war you fight against a satanic enemy is a war over your heart. All other wars are rooted in this foundational battle over the dominion and territory of the heart. (See James 4:1-4.) God wants you to win this war. Yet in order to win the war, you must humble yourself and surrender to God. To fail to surrender is to become God's enemy.
The Lord once said to me: “A surrendered heart is all I need. No matter what you are going through, your surrender to Me is the key to victory. You may not have all the answers; you may not even see the way ahead of you, but a simple surrendering of yourself once again is the yieldedness that will allow Me to move you forward.”
