Are you ready for a miracle? I am!!
Are you ready to see a mountain move? I am!!!
Are you ready to see a brother healed from disease? Yes, Yes, Yes, I am!!!
Come on Christian brother and sisters, let's all get on board for healing. Tomorrow is the date and I for one, have got on healing train and tomorrow I will ride that healing train to its destiny.
Desert Cat's father has, just recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. This is a man of great gifting and service to our Lord Jesus Christ. He has brought glory to our Savior and for that we should all be grateful. Grateful that he has endured through all the challenges of services.
Tomorrow, his church will fast and pray for a miracle. Will you join them to see a brother receive a miracle? Will you join them to glorify you Father? I have looked to the Lord to understand if He would want me to pray healing, always wanting to do only what I see my Father doing, and have not been told that healing was not at hand. So, it becomes our obligation to pray for healing.
This obligation, should be approached with love. Only through His love will we see the miracle. And even though, we on the Internet, can not lay hands on him, we can through the Holy Spirit intercede into the heavenlies. Our voices will be heard.
What should we expect? Nothing short of a miracle. When we pray, we should always come expecting.
So, tomorrow, I expect a miracle. Tomorrow, I intercede with my dear friends church. Tomorrow, with his church, I fast. I pray that all who read this will join us and watch as God moves upon this child of God and expect.
At 7:00 Thursday night, Arizona time, his church will meet to pray. My small group will also be interceding. Please mark that time and join us.

Searching Myself

I have been searching myself since last evening. Because the Word tells me to.
1 Corinthians 11:31 (New King James Version)
For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
The Lord is my shepherd and in Him I find the truth.
Not through the accusations of man nor the lies of the evil one. God holds me together with His word and truth. Therefore, no truth can be found in the tongue of the deceived.
Why do we feel the need to accuse the brethren of malice, when, perhaps, we just do not understand the untold mysteries of God. When we look at an other's ministry and do not understand the mysteries of it, why do we, in our finite mind, decided that they are not, by any means, right with God. Instead, they must be under the influence of Satan.
It is Biblical to judge within the church, but in that judgment, do we neglect our call to accept the things of God. Or are we, in our judgment, serving our own agenda. Search thy self accuser of the brethren.
It has been said, that because I experience many manifestations of the demonic and glory, that I am entrenched with Satan. I have prayed and searched myself on this accusation and feel confident that God is with me.
1 Corinthians 4:4 (New International Version)
My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.
Isaiah 50:4 (The Message)
4-9The Master, God, has given me
a well-taught tongue,
So I know how to encourage tired people.
He wakes me up in the morning,
Wakes me up, opens my ears
to listen as one ready to take orders.
The Master, God, opened my ears,
and I didn't go back to sleep,
didn't pull the covers back over my head.
I followed orders,
stood there and took it while they beat me,
held steady while they pulled out my beard,
Didn't dodge their insults,
faced them as they spit in my face.
And the Master, God, stays right there and helps me,
so I'm not disgraced.
Therefore I set my face like flint,
confident that I'll never regret this.
My champion is right here.
Let's take our stand together!
Who dares bring suit against me?
Let him try!
Look! the Master, God, is right here.
Who would dare call me guilty?
Look! My accusers are a clothes bin of threadbare
socks and shirts, fodder for moths!
Psalm 55:16
I call to God; God will help me. At dusk, dawn, and noon I sigh deep sighs—he hears, he rescues. My life is well and whole, secure in the middle of danger Even while thousands are lined up against me. God hears it all, and from his judge's bench puts them in their place. But, set in their ways, they won't change; they pay him no mind.
So finally I quote :
Romans 8:31-39
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I walk in forgiveness.

Interview with the Analyst: an update to today's earlier post

I asked The Analyst, to answer the same question he gave me for his interview. I believe you will enjoy the answers.
What does Spiritual warfare mean to you?
There is a war which rages all around us on all
fronts. It is a war against the dark forces in the
Spiritual realm. Those who wage war against us are
from the Spiritual domain, but their influence is far
reaching, even into the physical realm. But, we have
been equipped to stand against them and to battle with
great might and in victory.
What do you believe to be your purpose in life?
To worship and to serve Christ my Lord. My calling is
to:
Teach His Word, forsaking tradition in favor of truth,
regardless of the cost.
Wage open war against Satan and his forces.
Blow the trumpet in pronouncement of the soon coming
King
What Bible passage is your favorite?
Hebrews 11
Who is your favorite Bible character apart from Jesus?
Simeon
Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who
was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the
consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon
him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit
that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's
Christ. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple
courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to
do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon
took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
"Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you now dismiss your servant in peace.
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the sight of all people,
a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory
to your people Israel." -Luke 2:25-32
Oh, that we would all have such desire to "see His
salvation."
Other than Biblical figures, who have been your heroes
of the faith?
My youth minster, friend and brother-Lee Graham
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
G.K Chesterton
In your mind what event has had the greatest effect
upon the moral degradation of America?
The women's right movement has caused the break down
of the American family. Rather than being at home
raising their children up in the "way they should go",
mothers have joined the work force. And, men have
become emasculated, not supporting their children,
leaving today's single mothers no choice in the
matter. Without our children being raised up in the
"way they should go", our nation has no moral
direction.
In a nutshell. what are your end times views?
I believe that Jesus will be returning very soon to
set up His Earthly kingdom. But, not before Satan's
One World Government (New World Order) comes to power
and persecutes those who follow Jesus. I believe that
the "rapture" will not come until after that
persecution, but before the wrath of God is poured out
upon the Earth.
For more of my take on End times, see also:
The Rapture
Those who have not soiled their pants
This generation will not pass away
What role(s) do you believe that Holy Spirit plays in
our lives as Christians?
I believe that the Holy Spirit sanctifies us, comforts
us and empowers us to fearlessly preach the gospel and
to turn the world upside down.
To what degree are you responsible for your own
sanctification?
Only in so much as we draw near to Christ. Too many
churches today teach that you must clean up your life
so that Jesus can come into your heart. But, in
actuality, you can do no such thing. Instead, the Holy
Spirit sanctifies you from the inside out as He sees
fit.
What does baptism mean to you?
I believe that the water baptism is a symbol of our
covenant with and commitment to Christ. I also believe
that the baptism of the Holy Spirit empowers us to do
His miraculous works upon the Earth and to effective
wage war against those in the Spiritual realm who seek
to destroy us.
How do you feel about the death penalty?
I don't like it!
I know that the Biblical penalty for murder was the
death penalty. But, it was also the penalty for
adultery, which is not even a crime in America.
The Wages of all sin is death as is the gift of
Christ, life (Romans 6:23).
I have absolutely no problem with locking up a killer
or a rapist for life. But, I see no need for killing
them. For one thing, it is more expensive to kill a
convict than to lock them away in prison.
How do you feel about physical war?
I think that war today is unjust and that it is one of
the New World Order's greatest tools for establishing
their One World Government.
What is your take on the Iraqi war?
I believe that it is part of the plan for the
establishing of the New World Order. As to whether or
not it is a just war, no I don't think so. We did not
find any WMD's and Iraq had nothing to do with 911 .
And as far as protecting the people of Iraq from a
cruel tyrannical dictator, why haven't we helped the
Christians in Sudan who are being systematically
annihilated even as I type?
What do believe about the New World Order conspiracy?
I believe that the New World Order is the fulfillment
of the biblically prophesied One World Government and
that it will give rise to the Antichrist.
See these link for more one the NWO:
The New World Order
The Revolutionary Matrix
The Democratic Illusion
Triskaidekaphobia
The Bilderberg Group
The Trilateral Commission
The CFR
How to Boil a Frog
NWO Documentaries
Come out of Her
How do you feel about the Patriot Act?
It is a step toward American fascism.
Please see:
How to boil a Frog
What are your thoughts on the 2008 presidential
election?
I believe that regardless of who gets elected, it will
be in accordance with the New World Order agenda. Out
of all of the candidates who took part in this
election, Ron Paul was the only good choice.
In your opinion, which political system is most
compatible with Christian spirituality?
I don't think that any governmental system is truly
compatible with Christian Spirituality. The leaders of
our governments do not have in mind the will of God,
nor do they seek to Love. But, soon Jesus will come to
replace the World's political system with His wholly
good Kingdom.
Can Christians truly be tolerant?
No! Tolerance is an oxymoron among Christians. If we
truly believe that Jesus is the only way, we cannot
accept any truth which sets itself up against Him.
Yes, we are to be loving. Love is a virtue which far
surpasses tolerance. But, the more our world enforces
tolerance, the less welcome we will become in this
society. Tolerance is the centerpiece for the Satan's
One World Religion.
What is your favorite movie?
Les Miserables
Which 5 posts from your blog(s) do believe to be most
significant?
The Revolution
The Rapture
The Kink In Our Armor

The Grip of Death

Anyone who reads my blog regularly, will not find this post the least bit weird. But, I am telling you, that I find what I am abut to write a bit weird.
Last night my community group met at my home. We always start out with worship then watch a video, have discussion and prayer. Last night the Spirit of God urged me to keep worshiping. God's Spirit was very strong in the room and I knew He was talking to people. So after a few songs, I would stop and ask if anyone was hearing from God.
One member was getting a lot of words on healing. She prayed, many times, over folks in the room when they would verify that the were the ones that God was showing her. We would worship and stop, worship and stop. It was awesome.
While worshiping, at one point, God reminded me of a dream that I had that morning. This dream, which is very short, kept repeating it self all night. The dream goes like this. I am in a dark room. I can not see anything. There is, however, a door. I can not make out the door, but can see light from the next room coming in from under the door. While looking at the light, I see the shadow of feet pass by. Then I would wake up.
I knew this dream was from God and usually I have no problem interpreting dreams. But, I knew that my interpretation was wrong from the start. So, as we worshiped last night, God reminded me of this dream and told me that one of the men in the group would know what it meant.
So, I spoke out the dream. God, however, closed the ears of this man. He thought for a good hour that the dream was about him. Everyone else in the room understood it was about me. This was done, by God, so that I would receive another interpretation first. It came from a Christian sensitive. She had great difficulty telling me what she received from God. All she could say was, "Don't open the door of death". Neither, of us could speak for a moment. I, usually, interpret for her, but this time she spoke right out.
I accepted her interpretation and the group decided to pray for me. The amount of love in the room was awesome. Most had their hands on me and one held my feet. I could feel intense pressure in my head. I have never felt anything like it. It felt like a vise, but the vise had very small ends attached to my temples. This vise kept getting tighter and tighter. It was not painful, but the pressure was incredible. As if my head was going to explode.
I, usually, keep my eyes open during prayer. A person does not want to miss what God is doing and you do not want to get hit by someone manifesting demons. I was opening and closing my eyes this time. My eyes where shut, when everyone in the room heard my front door open and shut with a bang.
I opened my eyes and my husband was staring at me. We gave each other our knowing look. And we both started counting people. No one had left and no one had come in. We both knew, a demon had left the house. Why did it use the door? So, that we would know, from God, what had happened. An assignment of death, had been broken off of me.
Now, these wonderful people, where not praying that assignments would be broken nor trying to deliver me from demons. But, they were praying the Word of God over me and most important, they had love. The love was overbearing for the assigned demon and love broke its hold.
Then the Holy Spirit got a hold on me and I became drunk in the Spirit. I laughed till I hurt. Others where being prayed for and I was disruptive with my laughter. I would have to try and stifled my silly noise, but it was difficult. I was so full of joy and felt such release that I was a bit out of control. Praise you God.
But, it does not stop there. The man, whom God originally said would have the interpretation, he now had a word for me.
His word? "You are in the dark about some knowledge that you are seeking. God is keeping you there on purpose. Jesus is on the other side of the door, interceding for you." WOW.
How, do these two interpretations fit together. Well, remember I mentioned above that I usually interpret for my Christian sensitive friend. Well, here it goes. She had most of it right but, I am already in the room of death. I have accepted the Lupus as death. But, Jesus is on the other side of the door, in the light, interceding for me, because it is not my time.
God once showed me that there is a door in our minds, that opens up to Him. That we do not, as Christians, use this part of our brain. But, that all we had to do was to open the door and come in. I need to open the door. Move into the light of His glory and find what else He has for me. This is the knowledge that keeps me in the dark. I can not receive this knowledge, until I decide to walk through that door.
I have known about this door for quit a while but, have fought God on going through. It felt uncomfortable and I felt like I had enough supernatural events. It is time. But how to open the door is the next question. God is good. He will open the door and I will follow.
Death's grip was broken last night and I am grateful. Praise be to the Lord Almighty.

Lost
Last night, the team met to do some ministry over a young woman. I knew the woman because I have counseled with her many times in the past. So, I stood back to allow the others to minister.
I told the team that if they had a harsh word to go ahead and say it. Usually, if there is a harsh word, I ask them to run it by me first. So, the first thing I heard was "defiant".
Perfect word to describe her. She is very angry with God and because of that, over the last few years, she has turned from God and went into drugs.
Then, one spoke of a vision she had while sitting in front of her. The vision was of her running, like from someone, through a woods that was barren. She ran has though she were running for her life.
Absolutely true. She has no fruit in her life. No substance, nor grounding. Emotionally, she runs.
My impression at this point was that the team did not quit know what to do with these words and visions. So, now and then I would ask a question or interpret to keep things rolling.
One on the team, could feel her fear, loneliness, needs and sorrow. Which brought this team member to tears. But, after a while, this team member, could also feel her rebellion and instead of tears, I saw a bit of righteous anger appear. This team member became very blunt and cut right to the truth. Nothing was sugar coated. The response, from the woman, was to defend herself.
This brought, "be quite and listen", "don't speak". You could see the defiance rise up in her. Then tears. I intervened at this point, knowing that she was not listening. God had shown me her coffin. It was white and standing beside the coffin, was a little boy, all dressed up. It was her child and her coffin.
So, I sat down in front of her and shared this with her. This was death, the truth was, it was a spiritual death. But, this is not what I shared with her. I just told her the vision and allowed her to seek the truth behind the vision.
This is a woman, whom over the years, listened to what I have to say, sorts through it and takes only what she wants from it. She was doing it again last night. When I shared this with her, she laughed, knowing it to be true. Her tears only came when she was told to be quite.
She did however, hear what was said. She shared with me that she knows she listens defensively and that she interrupts to defend herself but, that she did not know how to do things different. This is a victory. She is moving through this problem. Knowledge is the first step, then application. These will be her first steps to healing.
Her story in short. She was molested and raped as a child. Got pregnant at 17, then married the boy. He committed suicide. She then fell aways from the church. Had 4 children. Gave two away for adoption. Then got into drugs. Nearly lost the other children. Relapsed this past week.
She wants to be healed, but clearly wants control of that healing. She needs to be delivered from demonic strongholds, but fights letting go and letting God do the work. She is gentle but hard. Intelligent but confused. Lost and controlled. A fighter but weak. She is representative of what the world holds. A world wanting God, but on their own terms.

Update on Today's Earlier Post

My trip to the doctor was, well Weird!!! The decision on new medications was put off. They took six vials of blood to see where I am at, because I have seen some improvement over the last week and the reason is soooo weird.
Apple cider vinegar. YEP!!! That is what I said. Apple cider vinegar.
My husband has serious sinus problems and I read where apple cider vinegar would help. So, I started him on a drink made up of the vinegar, honey and Stevia. He hated the taste so bad, that I drank it with him. You know, like showing your children that the medicine is not so bad. Well, I found that the swelling in my mouth went down to nearly nothing, my reaction to chemicals stopped and I had more energy. Is that weird.
Well, I am grateful. I still do not know what the blood nor urine will show, but the doctor said that Vinegar is an anti-inflammatory as well as the Noni that I have been taking and to keep it up. We will see about the blood test.
I thank God for His hand on nature. I use to not think much about holistic medicine. But, I have certainly changed my mind. I will be looking at more natural remedies now. Everything we need has been put into place by God and I just need to look for it. Thank you, God.
So many have been praying for me and for that I am so grateful. God plots out our every step and I find comfort there. Where He leads, I will follow. Whatever comes next, I will find God in it and rely on Him for my strength.

Sickness

Today, I see my Lupus doctor. I see him every tree months, but I have been having serious symptoms since I last saw him. I have probably waited to long. But, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE HIM!!!
My kidney's, I am sure, have been compromised. I have waited much to long. My skin feels like it is on fire when shampoo or soap hits my skin. I have waited much to long. I now, for the first time, get a rash on my face and my feet and legs swell. I have waited far to long. When my mother was in the hospital, the pain and swelling became to much and I could not walk. Certainly, I have waited to long. I have even waited to long to ask for prayer.
Last night, I had a conference call with the leaders of my church. I, finally, asked for prayer. At first, not being able to see their faces, they were stunned. There was silence on the phone. I know that some where waiting to hear from God. One took the initiative and prayed right then. But, then the ministry started.
"Do you not want to be healed?" "Do you not believe you will be healed." "Do you have some kind of sin in your life?" Mind you, some of these folks are people that I have discipled. I felt a bit discouraged with them, falling into that mind set. I maintained and went with the flow, but felt the wonderful prayer, that had just been prayed, was just rhetoric. I know they love me and I them, but, let's get beyond these limited questions.
One finally said, "This happened last time you went into the a new ministry." BINGO.
But, no one prayed for the schemes of the enemy to be broke. I, however, do.
One asked me to call him after the call. I did and we talked for quite a time. He is very much the prayer warrior. He wanted permission to call mutual friends at the I.H.O.P. in Kansas City for prayer. But, our conversation turned to why the body of God is sick.
He stated, that we just do not lay hands on each other enough and prayer. He feels that prayer is lacking and yet our church is a praying church. I believe that part of the reason the body of Christ is sick is because in our prayers we do not find complete abandonment in the Lord. God help our disbelief.
His heart was so broke and mine so sad. He confessed that he was now ill himself and like me, was putting off going to see the doctor. Illness, for both of us, seemed to be one of those mysteries that the spiritual answer to alludes us. Both of us are confident in who we are in God, but lost in the answers to sickness. We know all of the stock answers. But, both know that there is more that God has not revealed.
God is good and faithful and I know that through this he will reveal more to me and my friend. Mean time, we wait and pray. Finding solace in the Almighty Creator and comfort in His promises.

Set Apart

I heard a sermon, the other day, that spoke of Christians having the responsibility of changing the worlds perspective on how the world sees us. He quoted statistics, that alluded to, young people thinking that Christians were hypocrites, judgmental and hate mongers. His view, was that, we had to change this thinking by surrounding ourselves with non-believers in order to change that view of Christians.
I and many others found this thinking alarming. Why does it become my responsibility to change the world view. This view does not just pertain to the young. This view is held by the majority of non-believers. It is a view that is perpetrated on us by the media and Christian hate groups. It is a view that is listened to by the world.
I,personally, take no responsibility for this view. It is not the way I walk. It is not the way I portray myself.
I have been on the other side of the fence and have held to these views of Christians. I believed, at one time in my life, that Christians were horrible people. Spreading hatred towards homosexuality, judging everyone and seeing them as totally hypocritical. Because I have been on that end, I understand why this view is held so widely. It is because, the non-believer just plain believes what they are told about the Christian by the media and others. It is easier to hold to these views than to investigate the validity of these statements.
I find that it is more the non-believer responsibility to find the truth than for me to attempt to change their view. Their view of me is not going to change by me going into the market place and assimilating with the non-believer. It will only increase the view that I am a hypocrite. I can not go out with the guys after work while they are drinking and expect that things will be different for me. If I do not drink there is something wrong with me and if I drink I am a hypocrite. There is, also, the danger that, by assimilating myself with this kind of environment, that I will fall prey to the world.
I am to be set apart. A peculiar people. Not in the flow of the world. If I walk like the world, what do I have to offer?
I, also, see little point in trying to change the worlds view of me, because "the world will hate me". Because, I believe, that we are in the end times, the hatred and world view of me will grow with intensity. This is just the way it will be.
I will continue to walk the way I walk. Loving the sinner, hating the sin. Judging within the church, not outside the church and holding to the Word of God.
As for my responsibility to change the world view. Why is it always the victims fault? No, I disagree. I am not those things that the world says I am and the world needs t0 get to know me to see the truth. But, that is not going to happen.
