Destiny Awaits!
Update on us
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through Him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT
Has God spoken a promise to you that hasn't come to pass yet? Has He given you a glimpse of what your purpose, call and destiny looks like but yet it's still unattainable? Has He told you time and time again, He would heal your ailing body? Or restore your finances, your marriage, a broken relationship or even that your child would come into His family? Does it seem like the wait goes on and on? Do you wonder if these things will ever come to pass?
If you're like me and many others, those answers are probably all yes. Do you feel like those in Hebrews 11? You've persevered and persevered and yet still no manifestation in the natural of the promises. You might start to believe that those promises are not going to be seen in your lifetime.
Are we to sit idly by waiting? Is there anything we can do?
I believe the Lord wants us to be actively involved in the manifestation of the promises! I believe He wants us to get our thoughts and actions to align with His will which is in His Word! I believe we are fighting a battle against principalities and powers of darkness (Ephesians 6) and we must put on the full armor of God and go to war!!! If God is for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)?

From the days of John the Baptist until now,
the Kingdom of Heaven has suffered violence,
and the violent take it by force! Matthew 11:12
Faith is believing things unseen! Take the unseen promises and believe God for them. Ask, believe & receive - Mark 11:24.
Begin to ask God to manifest the promises He has spoken to you. Get two ore more friends to come in agreement with you (Matthew 18:19). Believe that He will bring them to pass - do this by praising Him, thanking Him for them even know you don't quite see them yet. Receive the blessing! Is there something you're still holding on to that you need to let go of in order to receive? Sometimes are hands are full and that doesn't put us in a receiving posture?
Prophetic Word: I believe the Lord is saying now is the time for those promises to be fulfilled. It's time for My people to shift into place. I am sending provision, I am sending healing, I am sending all that you have need of to step into the purpose, call and destiny I have for you. It is not a time to have doubt, unbelief or fear. It's time to arise and shine like never before. Though the days ahead may seem dark, it is My light shining in you that will bring a change in the atmosphere. You will see many signs and wonders in order to bring the harvest in. Continue to abide in My Word. As you spend time with Me, I will give you guidance, direction and wisdom for the days ahead. Seek Me first. I will tell you this is the way, walk in it. My Glory and My Name will be known!
Update on us:
It's been a year and half since the Lord moved us from Overland Park to where we are now. It's taken that long to acclimate me to country living (Ha!). God has given us a vision for a property here to build a retreat center, ministry & equipping center. We are taking a second look on Friday, but feel this is the one. We are believing God for the provision for this vision. God has sent us a couple of people to help with project management, people who can help organize our thoughts, the vision and make it into something presentable. Our hope and prayer is that the provision to purchase the property will come immediately and the rest thereafter. There is so much that we need to do and residing on the property would make things much more efficient. We covet your prayers - for immediate provision! If you would like to be involved somehow, please let us know.
Michele's health is improving! I'm speaking it into existence. The Lord has given me dreams and several other confirmations it's coming! Yippee! I am finally getting some much needed sleep. I am anxiously awaiting the manifestation of energy, no pain & complete healing!!

Ken is still working part time at Dollar General. His hours did increase to 35 for a few weeks but have now dropped back down to 20 or so. We are continuing to trust God. Please keep Ken in prayer as this job is a bit hard on him physically. He continues to apply & reapply at every opportunity he hears of, but this job he has is the only door God has opened.
We continue to lead a home group and are blessed with what God is doing. We love our church and all we are meeting there. We are still connecting & using our hospitality gift of cooking with people at least once a week and ministering to them as the Lord leads.
Bless YOU. Thank you for caring for us, praying for us and standing with us! If there is anything you need prayer for, please let us know. We are happy to!!!
If you have been blessed by this ministry or feel led to support what God is doing through us - financially, below are a few options. Your generosity and your prayer support is greatly appreciated and needed as we continue to walk in faith and God's calling.
God Bless YOU -
Ken & Michele Cole

Such a wonderful posting and update, Michele! I love and miss you so. Love the whole letter to us and the prophetic. I am in agreement with you! Also, recently, I have come back to calling what is not, into being, like our Lord does and did. First learned of this while studying with Jan and Vicky, from author Charles Capps...Romans 4:17, As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed--the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. - NIV Thank you, Lord, for Your God Echo and you, Sweet M., on being in agreement and all the goodness of your blog/posting and your ministry!! Praying deeply for your provision for this retreat and equipping center for the Lord and for Ken's job, your health. 'Bye for now, dear one. Oh, I unabashedly add my blog for your viewing, folks and friends out there, please come! www.thehealingisalwayschrist.com :)
