Fire Affects Power Throughout Entire Town

"But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man." Luke 21:36

Wow!  Did we ever have a scare today.  Maybe a trial run of things that may take place in the near future.  Today our little town experienced great excitement.  Not the kind that is good.  We even made KY3 news!

Our electrical substation caught fire, reason unknown at this time.  The entire town was without power.  The hospital was contacting all the patients relatives and asking which nearby hospital would they like their family member transferred to.  Businesses closed down, employees sent home but managers stayed behind to watch over the stores.  Fire departments from neighboring towns (20-25 miles away) came to help with putting out the fire.  The initial talk was that we could of been without power for days or even a week.  No one seemed to know that our little town had a 2nd substation!   It was just recently built.  Praise God!!!  It only took a few hours to get the fire out and power gradually restored through the town.  Whew!   

But......

What if your power went down with no definitive time it would be restored? Are you prepared?  Do you have a back up generator?  Do you have food & water that can be eaten without cooking or at least be able to cook over a fire?  Do you have emergency supplies such as flashlights, extra batteries, candles, etc?  

In 2009, the Lord in a vision showed me that we may experience a time in the future where the USA would be without power, complete blackout for a period of time. He showed me that the first maybe 3 months would be similar to "Little House on the Prairie days"... and then upgrade to "Andy Griffith days".  When I was in prayer about what He was showing me, He had us watch all of these old shows but with "spiritual eyes".  What we saw with a spiritual sense was community, family living together, neighbors coming together to help when others had trouble of some sorts.  The town was in unity.  The town came together for gatherings, church and crisis.  They made not of had power or the luxuries we have today, but they had each other and that's what mattered most.  I feel God is wanting to restore this country backed to it's biblical roots and back into deep, authentic relationships.  It may just take a catastrophic event for us to get our eyes opened!  I pray not.  

One of the main reasons God moved us was to build a retreat/refuge property with what we feel an end goal is long term refuge for what may come to America.  We intend to be completely self sustaining & off the grid.  When crisis strikes as we got a taste of today, the more confident we are in the mission God is giving us AND the more ready we are for us to be able to get things started...... we just need God's provision for this vision!   (vision at bottom of this post). 

I have recently reached out to our general contractor, architect, project manager, engineers and others to solidify the vision and goals we are anticipating.  We are continuing to trust God and believe that He is bringing the provision.  There have been sooooooooo many confirmations!!  Recently I had a dream that we were on the "property" and that I had a hard hat on with a pen & paper in hand.  There were at least 15 contractors in front of me.  One said that everything was approved to begin (that would mean that the State of MO had accepted the engineers plans & the lodging license was granted).   Another had said that ALL funds were in so we could proceed as planned.  When I woke up and sat with the Lord, I asked Him what that all meant.  He said to me:  it's coming, fast & furious.  I then heard, Non stop ACTION & mind blowing SPEED and then this verse popped in my head.

Amos 9:13-15The Message 

13-15 “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.”God’s Decree.

“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:

“They’ll rebuild their ruined cities.

They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine.

They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.

And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land.

They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.”

God, your God, says so.

At the end of August, the Lord spoke to me that September would be a month to remember. So far I can't say anything has happened that would make me think that..... but it's not over yet.  Maybe on Thursday, something BIG will happen as it's my birthday!  What a great gift that would be!  

Are you ready? Would you be able to live indefinitely without power?  I know I would not be excited about that possibility!  EMP?  Terrorist attacks? Martial Law? Catastrophic weather ? Anything could happen!  But God.........

Please continue to pray for:
Ken - Find work that would provide for us completely & grace to continue working at Dollar General until such time.
Me - Health - sleep, pain in low back & right leg/knee loss of range of motion.  
Us - Daily provision & provision for the vision of Sonlit Fields. 
Ministry - Divine appointments to minister & teach & equip.

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.

Vision

God has given us a vision to build a retreat property along with ministry equipping center.  

The retreat portion of our ministry is to provide a safe place for pastors, lay leaders & other ministry folks to come and be refreshed & encouraged through prophetic ministry (if wanted).  We will offer 30-50 private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, screened in porches and plenty of places to roam on the property to get quiet with the Lord. 

We will offer other specialty retreats - marriage, healing, prophetic teaching & activating, health and wellness retreats and more.  

The Lord has graced us with the desire to come alongside the Church - to bring healing, deliverance & freedom to new/newer believers.  We are not wanting to replace their church, but more help them be ready to serve in their church. 

In our community building - we will have a 24/7 (eventually)  prayer room, healing & prophetic rooms and a place for community worship services for those on the property.  

Our passion is to minister to a lost & hurting world.   To equip the saints to do the same and to be a blessing to our community and surrounding areas.  Our hopes are that we can pour out God's love in a mighty way to bring more and more into the Kingdom, get them discipled, called into their purpose & destiny and released to do God's business!!!!  We also have a passion to give generously to help those in need and to help others launch into their God given destinies.
