It's Is Finished!

 

“Let the kindness of the Lord our God be over us. Make the work of our hands last. Make the work of our hands last!”   Psalm 90:17

Have you ever had a big project to do and when it was done, you were over the top excited?   A sense of accomplishment, maybe?  A tasks to check off your list as complete!  

I don't know exactly when but back around 2007 or so, the Lord put it on my heart to write a book.  He even gave me the book title.  

I began to write the book, well at least spit out some thoughts about each chapter and some rough chapter titles.  I had some scriptures sprinkled on the pages.  I had at least started it.  I was having so much trouble writing because I'm one who wants to correct grammar, punctuation, etc as I write.  Well, that meant I might get a paragraph or two written all day!  LOL!!!   It seemed as if I wasn't making much progress and that wasn't fun.  I'm the kind of person who likes to start things, fire-starter, but leave the finishing to someone else.  

That's not necessarily what one can do when writing a book, so I procrastinated and procrastinated.  My health crashed after that and there was just no way I could get back to it.

Just a few months ago, I was sitting around feeling like God wanted me to get back to writing this book.  I prayed and I said Lord, if You want me to do this, i need help.  I need someone who can let me spit out the words and they do the editing and whatever else needed to be done.  And He did just that.  I can't tell you much more on this because, it's one of the stories in the book.  You'll just have to get the book when it comes out!  

Anyways, three months ago, we started this journey together and TODAY, we finished the writing part.  She is finishing up the final edits and we do have another story or two that is coming in to be inserted, but the book is written.  

We are about ready to send it to two "editors" to do their part.  Will also be sending it to a few people who will be writing the forward and some endorsements.  God has given me so much favor in this area and I am thankful. The editors have offered to do it FREE of charge!   That's huge! 

Here's where I need additional support and prayer.  I have researched and have spoken to many who have gone before me that are authors.  A publishing company (self-publish) is the most economical and best way to go these days for many reasons.  But they still cost!!   Additionally, it costs to have the books printed.  I also felt like the Lord gave me a specific amount to pay my friend who was invested much time with me on it.   This is a chunk of money I don't have, yet!  I say yet, because God inspired this book and so I know He will provide!   I'm just super stoked to send it to the publisher! 

I am soliciting YOUR prayers for the provision to GET PUBLISHED!  And if by chance the Lord would put it on your heart to sow into this book project, that would be wonderful!!!   No pressure.  If so, please reach out to me so I can suggest a way to send funds and be sure it's tied to the book funding.   Thank you in advance for prayers and/or financial support!  

Even more exciting is that God has given me THREE more books to write.  

The 1st one - is on prayer - something  you've prayed for and how God answered it - or didn't.  This is the one I just finished.

2nd - is on how our words and actions as Christians can impact others

3rd - is on Giving 

4th - is my life. 

I have much work ahead of me and believe it or not, I'm already motivated and ready to get started... and so is my friend who is helping!  God is good!

~~~~~

On another note, my sister Jackie is moving from Kansas City to Hamilton, MT here next week. She leaves there on Tuesday and here on Friday!   This is a huge huge big step for her - but also a very big part of "next steps" towards destiny.  Too much to share here.    Please pray for her safe travels & for all that she has need of to get here! 

We are still believing God for the BIG VISION He gave us... and there have been many "things" that seem to be lining up.  Still don't have timing.... but we must be getting closer.  

Prayer points - 

Prayer for Ken and endurance with job.  Thankful he got some overtime this week, though his body feels it.  He had to work outside in colder temps.  We dropped down into the 30's this week overnight.  I think we may see spring, or maybe summer temps later this week.  Not ready for summer.  I want spring! :)  

Prayer for me - for my health - still much chronic pain and sleep issues.  Thankful for some sleep - believing for the complete healing as promised!

Prayer for finances - We are still very dependent on the Lord for day to day provision.  He is faithful!  

Our home group is going strong.  We all so look forward to meeting each week.  

Thank you for your love and support of us and all that God is doing.  We are thankful for those of you who pray for us.  

Hugs, love and prayers.

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 private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, 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 people into the world & 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 better help them be ready to serve in their church. 

In our community building - we will eventually have a 24/7 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 souls 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.  

Joyful Shouting Will Come!

Nehemiah 12:43 And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away.

Have you ever found yourself waiting on God to fulfill a promise He has spoken to you?  When will that day come?  

Today, my reading was in Nehemiah 12.  I don't know whether it was lack of sleep or lack of focus from lack of sleep, but I was not "getting" anything from the passage.   So I went to journaling where I poured out my cries and heart to the Lord once again.   Blah blah blah - really!  I wonder if He gets tired of hearing from me.   I said Lord, I am tired.  I am weary on so many levels.  You have promised this and promised that and YET I still have not seen the answers, the promises fulfilled. 

I'm the persistent widow day in day out crying out.  I'm the lady clinging to the hem of Jesus's garment.  I'm the one leper that always comes back and gives God thanks and praise for something He has done.  I'm the centurion with great faith trusting He will bring forth healing.  I'm Abraham surrendering my Isaac to the Lord repeatedly.  I'm the one my 4 friends are lowering on the mat through the roof.  I'm Job wondering what chapter I'm in of that book and hoping its the last one. I'm Elijah being fed by a raven.   I'm Lazarus at times wondering if Jesus will come before I die. I'm Joseph pit, prison and waiting.  I'm Thomas saying I won't believe until I see.   I'm Moses wandering in the wilderness for now 38 years... trying hard to not murmur and complain.   I feel like some of the minor prophets having to "experience" the word that God has given them to share with His people.   

All of these and others had to experience long waits.  They had to wait forever it seemed for God to come through, for God to rescue them, for God to heal them, for God to take them into their promised land, for the promises to be made manifest.   I am no different - and most likely you aren't either.  

So after I journaled much of what I just wrote... the Lord said look up some commentary on Nehemiah 12.  I stumbled on this blog below.  As I read it, it seemed as if the Lord wanted me to find this blog.  He was reassuring me, that He is working behind the scenes.  He is working things for my good.  And He will for you too.

https://www.thewarehouse.blog/nehemiah-12/

“When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful shouting; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us; We are glad. Restore our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the South. Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.”

Psalm 126

It seemed like a dream.  The people of captivity had not only served their God-ordered time through being in exile, God had begun the process of restoration.  The temple was built.  The walls were complete.  The city of Jerusalem was safe.  Nehemiah brought all the Levites together, had massive amounts of choirs who through the dedication of the wall was a time of celebration.  I’m sure they never believed it would happen.

But it did.  And it came in God’s timing.

There are things we each hold to or wonder, will it ever happen?  There are countless tears we’ve cried over situations, people and our own life of regret.  We’re like those who dream.  Dream of something that is so far beyond our reach and seems to be impossible.

This lifetime brings a lot of sowing in tears.  Heartache is a constant.  Sadness and loneliness can be suffocating.  Disappointment often bites at our heels.  We stare into the future and think things will never change, people will never change, our life will never change.  What’s interesting to consider:

Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

As the Psalm states, as the one who weeps is still sowing.  They’re scattering seed as they go even in deep sadness.  It’s really something to think about.  They don’t stop doing what they’ve been called to do.  In season and out of season, they continue their job.

God has the greatest ability to restore things that once were burnt up, broken, desolate.  Forest fires in time see new growth.  Broken bones heal.  And as much as it sounds cliche, God is able to bring good from any tragedy we are experiencing.

If we don’t have hope, then what do we have?  Some may be at a point of quitting.  Others may be in the mindset of ‘what’s the use?’  Darkness in some situation may be thick.  Beyond what the situation
dictates cling to, hold to, remind yourself that in time God’s great harvest of joy is coming.

-----

What really caught my eye was the part which says, the one who weeps is still sowing. They are scattering seed.  They don't stop doing what they've been called to do.  That is true with me.  Though I am contending for my healing, for the financial provision for the vision, I am still doing all that God has asked.   I am thankful for the people along the way who encourage me with kind words amazed at all I do despite the suffering....  It's those little things that strengthen me.    

My point with all this is this - just as it said - keep doing what you know that God has asked of you (whether that's a knowing in your heart, or simply what the Word of God asks us to do).   Stay in faith.  I don't always agree with the statement "His timing is perfect" but when it comes, hindsight will make sense of this.  It always does.   He will do what He says!!    

God has spoken to me often - that when the dream is realized, when the promises come forth, I'll say repeatedly pinch me to see if this is real.  And He says "they" will know that I AM the Lord your God! I cannot wait for that day!  

Prayer & Praises - 

Ken - please continue to pray for Ken - strength and endurance and for 40 hour work week.  He's already working outside these past 2 days with snow overnight and forecasted all week.  Montana hasn't decided it's spring yet.   

Michele - My friend and I have been working diligently on 1 of 4 books I am writing.  It's time consuming and takes a lot of mental energy.  Please pray for sleep - and mental focus.  I am still soliciting stories... something you've prayed for and how God answered.  If you would message me we can coordinate a time to chat and I can scribe while you share the story. 

Please pray for provision - for the vision and for everyday living.  God is faithful! We are trying to decide whether to sell our 2nd car.  Ken has a company truck..and we don't use the car often....but it would be expensive to replace it if the need arises.  

Our home group is so rich and rewarding....and so full of the Holy Spirit moving.  

Our pastor of church asked me to plan and do all regarding a Seder coming this Friday. So that has kept me busy and will through Friday pm.  

Saturday we head to Butte, Mt where we will see Bob Sorge speak.   He's from KC - and an amazing teacher.  We used to have him at our home church in Kc often.   There's a group of us going.  It will be a good time.  Please PRAY for NO snow or inclement weather as forecasted.  We are staying on top of a hill in a Airbnb - which we have before.  Literally a straight steep road down.  It will not be pleasant if there is bad weather.  Butte is also higher elevation which tends to have more snow. 

Thank you for your love and support of us and all that God is doing.  We are thankful for those of you who pray for us.  

Hugs, love and prayers.

A Vision Given for Revival!

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 

Everyone I know, including us has gone to see Jesus Revolution, the movie.  Have you?  If not, you might want to go see it.   Many have been talking about the Asbury revival and how it's spreading across the nation. God is stirring excitement amongst believers.  That revival is here - that revival is coming to a city near you.   I just loved that Asbury refused to have "big" names and "popular" worship leaders lead.  They just wanted JESUS to be known.  Such authentic repentance and authentic revival.  Whoohoo!  

Before the Asbury revivals became public knowledge, I have had a vision repeating for 4 Thursday nights in a row in our home group.  The vision was fire on our roof line above the living room where we meet.  The fire of course was supernatural.  I sensed that the Lord was going to do something with our group.  We have been postured for revival for some time.  Our group allows the Holy Spirit to lead us each week.  No agenda, no scheduled anything unless the Lord puts it on someone's heart and is confirmed.  It's a sweet night of authentic and deep  prayer, worship, discussing the Word and fellowship.  

Two weeks ago, I had the same vision of the fire and then it went into another vision during worship.  In the vision, Jesus was sitting in an empty chair near me.  He opened up a blueprint, looked at it and then smiled big.  He jumped up from the chair and one by one He came to each of us and washed our feet and prayed a blessing over us. Each one of us bowed down in humility after He washed our feet.  As He was finishing up the last one, all 3 of our external doors opened up and 100's of angels came in.  They were swirling around us and throughout the house.    When I shared that vision with the home group, one person said they felt the angels wings on his head and the other said she heard the angels singing with us.    I sensed that the Lord was demonstrating His blueprint for revival.  

Let's read this passage (long) but it will set the stage for what I want to share.  

2 Chronicles 33:  Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in
Jerusalem fifty-five years. 2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, following the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. 

3 He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. 4 He built altars in the temple of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.” 5 In both courts of the temple of the Lord, he built altars to all the starry hosts. 6 He sacrificed his children in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination and witchcraft, sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger. 

7 He took the image he had made and put it in God’s temple, of which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever. 8 I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land I assigned to your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and regulations given through Moses.” 9 But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites. 10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. 

11 So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon. 12 In his distress he sought the favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. 13 And when he prayed to him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God. 14 Afterward he rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, west of the Gihon spring in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate and encircling the hill of Ophel; he also made it much higher. He stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah.

15 He got rid of the foreign gods and removed the image from the temple of the Lord, as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and he threw them out of the city. 16 Then he restored the altar of the Lord and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings on it, and told Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. 17 The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.

18 The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel.  

19 His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself—all these are written in the records of the seers. 20 Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried in his palace. And Amon his son succeeded him as king.

This guy Manasseh was a bad dude!  He did so much evil in the sight of the Lord.  He reminds me of some of the leaders we have in our country and who have been doing much evil against God first and foremost but also the people of America (and other countries too).   We have been seeing evil practiced in plain sight. They no longer hide. They are bold and dangerous and down right disgusting!   We have strayed so far from the Truth in our country.  It's been a slow fade for decades.  We have little by little relinquished our freedoms, our belief in God and Truth and frankly the Church has been apathetic.  We have allowed so much in the name of "tolerance" or "grace".   We have strayed so far from God.  We are no better than any of the Churches in the Book of Revelation.  Ouch!  But True! 

I've been in the books of Chronicles for several months now and the there is a pattern.  Kings did evil in the sight of the Lord and led people astray. Eventually, they were taken out.   Some of the kings did right in God's eyes and were blessed.  Manasseh gives us a blueprint.  I shared this passage with our home group last week and we talked in depth about it and what it did was CONVICT us.  It convicted us to pray then and continuously over our leaders. God desires that none should perish.  We prayed over Soros, Gates, Obama, Biden and more.  These people would fit the description of doing evil in the sight of the Lord.   

We've been talking about the Asbury Revival and the Jesus Revolution movie.  I don't think it's a coincidence that they are happening at the same time.  I don't think it's a coincidence that I've been having the visions for the past months.  I don't think it's coincidence that God has had me in Chronicles and seeing the repeated patterns and themes.   When Manassah personally repented, when he turned from His wicked ways, revival came to that nation.  

Years ago a dog trainer was teaching our dog how to like kids.  One comment he made was a quite profound statement - Leadership runs down the leash!!   What?   Everything is a top down mentality in life.   Leaders lead by example, whether good or bad.  If the owner of a business is a tyrant, the employees aren't happy and it's not a fun place to work.  If the pastor of a church is demonstrating humility and repentance, the congregants follow.  The same is true in marriages and relationships.  We as Christians need to lead by example.  We are all leaders.  We have a circle of influence.  

Answer these questions?  Do you want to see Revival? Do you want to see our country turn back to the Biblical principles it was founded on?  Are you willing to do whatever it takes?  

REVIVAL IS WHAT  Asbury, Jesus Revolution and Manasseh have in common.  Revival comes to those who hunger and thirst after righteousness.  Who desire and love what God loves!  He loves people!  He wants a pure spotless Bride. He wants all to come into the Kingdom.  That's revival! 

1. Confess Sins & Repentance - Ask the Lord to show you what you need to repent for? 

   Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me,  and lead me in the way everlasting.

A great article about repentance - https://jakekail.com/how-to-know-if-repentance-is-real-look-for-this-fruit/?fbclid=IwAR3znYGlQLjqifSwTbM5jXk55j3rwjhSTqIJDcEJmwojVMoNBRqMtsNA_oY

2.  Humility -  we need to be humble, have a broken & contrite spirit before the Lord! 

   James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord

3. .  Prayer for Leaders - pray with a humble spirit.  Pray for their hearts to turn towards God. Pray for them to have a divine encounter with the Lord Jesus.  

1 Timothy 2:1-2  First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

Revival begins with YOU.  Revival begins with ME.  It starts with us and then it spreads like wildfire!   

There's a cost to REVIVAL - and it's opposite of APATHETIC!  

Are we willing to invite the outcast, the ones we don't feel comfortable around, the drug addict, the pedophile, the LGBTQ, those practicing witchcraft and others into our homes and churches?   When we lived in Kansas City, we had all of the above visit or attend our home group and we are willing to do it again!  

Are we willing to invest in them?  Did someone invest in you when you got saved?  Are you willing to mentor them.  Are you willing to love them exactly where they are?  God says they will know we are Christians by our LOVE!! 

Come on - let's do this!!!!   Go Revival!  Go Church! 

Prayer & Praise - 

1.  Ken's work has been steady - not quite 40 hours every week..but seeming to be more stable.  Thankful!   He also is picking up a few Saturday jobs.  Pray for his strength and the ability to get true rest on his one day off.    (Except now we are preparing for taxes- pray we do not owe)

2.  Pray for complete healing and especially sleep still for me.  It's been pretty intense.

3.  I am working hard on book one!   Lots happening there and thankful for a good friend helping me out.   If you have a story you'd like to share, reach out to me please.  Here's what I'm looking for.  What is something you prayed for and how did God answer it or not?  It can be funny, serious or heart wrenching.  I can scribe while you share.   Pray for mental motivation as lacking sleep makes it difficult to concentrate and focus on the task.

4.  Please pray for provision -we are unfortunately having to put some of our expenses on credit card - not so comfortable with that... Pray for  more open doors for Ken or for me to have some Tasting Party's/new customers through Thrive Life.   I love doing it!  

Please let me know how I can pray for you.  I so appreciate you reaching out and letting me know!  

Hugs, love and prayers.

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 souls 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.  

A Lesson from Jehoshaphat on Battles!

2 Chronicles 20:17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you

How many times have we seen this verse? Do we actually believe it?  Can we ask God for help and then take our hands off the wheel and let Him do it? Do we ask for prayer and then actually take the time to listen to His response?  Do we act in obedience to the response given? 

Somebody in our Sunday School class recently said "Do we read what we believe? Or do we believe what we read?"  Did you catch that?   Do we read and only believe what we already believe  (whether true or not) or do we actually take God at His Word and believe what we read?  That is a pretty profound statement.  

To me, that is true faith.  

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; 

blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.  John 20:29 

Have you faced a battle in your life?  A loved one who became ill with a serious illness?  A financial loss so great you didn't know where your next meal would come from?  A child who is far from the Lord despite all the efforts to teach them about Jesus?  

What was your prayer to the Lord?  What did the Lord speak to you?  Did He tell you He would bring you through?  Did he say He would provide for you?  Did you listen to His voice 

I have a bazillion examples of times God spoke to me in relation to a prayer.....but did I truly heed His voice and trust what He said?   I remember one time I was asking for healing.  I was desperate for immediate relief (that's pretty often).  But this one time, He took me to the passage where He told the disciples to get in the boat and go to the other side.  A big storm came upon them and they were afraid.  They thought they were going to drown.  I did too.  I did not think I would ever survive what I was going through.  I thought death was knocking.  Jesus didn't tell his disciples to get in the boat and they would drown.  He said get in the boat and go to the other side.  God gave them reassurance even before they got in the boat.  But when the storm came, they forgot what He had said or they just didn't have the faith to TRUST Him and take Him at His Word!   Wow!  Ouch!  Conviction once again!   

I am still not to the other side.  I do not know how far until I reach the shoreline.  If I truly focus on Jesus, I can see Him on dry land waiting for me.  He is cheering me on.  He is showing me that there is hope.  That He didn't bring me this far to leave me.   The storms keep coming. The finances dried up and we don't know what to do.  The pain and sleepless nights rage on.  But one thing I do know with weak wobbly knees at times, is that He has promised me, I/we will get to the other side.   He is faithful.  I can trust Him.  My heart and flesh may fail at times, but the Lord will never fail me or you!  He who began a good work will finish it!  You can trust Him.  You can read His Word and believe what it says!  

Is there a storm in your life that seems to never end? Take a minute to think about it.   What has God spoken to you specifically in this situation?  Will you hear what He says and Trust Him for the outcome.  Will you trust Him to bring you through?  

Jehoshaphat was a man that we could heed much wisdom from.  At least in 2 Chronicles 20.  He knew God intimately enough to know that He could trust Him.  He did 3 things that are great life lessons for us!

1.  He prayed! 

2.  He listened for God's still small voice 

3.  He responded in obedience to what the Lord instructed!  

Here's a good prayer paraphrased from some of the verses in 2 Chronicles 20.

v6 Power and might are in your hand Lord and no one can withstand you.  v12  We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on YOU.” v15 The Lord will say to me.. ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this difficult circumstance.   For the battle is not yours, but Mine, says the Lord. v16 take up your positions dear one; stand firm on My Word and see the deliverance that the Lord will give you.   Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face whatever it is,  and the Lord will be with you.’” v18 Stand up and praise the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice. v21 Sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his  holiness as then  go out at the head of this trial saying: “Give thanks to the Lord,  for his love endures forever.” v22 As you begin to sing and praise, the Lord will set ambushes against whatever is coming against you and He will lead you into VICTORY!   in Jesus mighty name.  Amen! 

Oh the freedom it brings to one soul when we finally get this.  Not that I have arrived, but the light bulb is burning a tad brighter.  My confidence in the Lord is increasing.  My faith is growing deeper and wider.  This is the Good News of Christ!  

Psalm 112:7 NIV They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them.

How can I pray for you?  What can I stand in agreement with you for?  Life is difficult for many these days.  The world is in chaos.  Our country is being led by ungodly leaders and leading us down a pretty dismal path.  But God!  God is our hope, our refuge and our strong tower.  

We do not know what our future holds, but we do know who holds our tomorrow.  Author unknown.  

Prayers and Praise

1.  Ken is getting at least 30-35 hours a week of work.  There are a couple of side jobs he may have in the near future.  Thankful for his willingness to work 6 days a week if necessary, though its hard on him physically.  Painting - up & down ladders, bending over and all that takes a toll on him.  His body needs rest.  Please pray for his endurance and strength.  

2.  God has given me a couple days of reprieve (not consecutively) but lesser pain which is tolerable.  I am thankful.   Covet your ongoing prayers for complete healing!  

3.  We continue to believe that He will make a way with our finances....everyday expenses, food, rent & utilities.  Now that we are not paying for our neighbors electricity (she was attached to our meter for the first 5 months) our electric bill has gone down by $140.   Thankful for the living space and peaceful neighborhood we live in.  

4.  God is quiet on the "destiny property" front.... there was a sense things were shifting.... and they may still be.... but not hearing much.  Contending and trusting....as the vision is so needed.  

NEED YOUR HELP: 

5..  I am FINALLY writing my books again with the help of a good friend.  I talk (that's easy) she types and she is getting it proofed and organized.  The first book I am writing is about prayer.  IF you would please reach out to me, I would love to solicit from you a story about something you prayed for and how God answered it.  I will scribe, you talk.  Will you do that for me please?  The other books will follow.... 

Hugs, love and prayers.

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 private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, 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 people into the world & 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 better help them be ready to serve in their church.

For You Do Not Know What Tomorrow May Bring.....

Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow,

    for you do not know what a day may bring. 

How many know when the enemy overplays his hand, he reveals his plans???   

I just want to say, I am not writing this blog to instill fear......to coerce you into buying my product, or to bring condemnation or judgement upon you.   It is my heartfelt passion and more so compassion for God's people to prepare! 

Just recently Biden, revealed to America that FOOD SHORTAGES were coming!!  Here's just one source https://www.foxnews.com/video/6319517278112      The enemy has overplayed his hand through Biden!   

In 2009, the Lord showed me the USA would see famine.  I've shared in the blog before that the Lord has given me visions of what's coming.   This is how I got started with Thrive Life.  He is the one who led me to the company and to be a VOICE.    I have seen some progress in people getting prepared.... but I still feel it falls on deaf ears.   In 2014, the Lord told me to start interceding for His people - to open deaf ears and blind eyes to see and know the Truth.   I have prayed faithfully for that.  I have prayed for heightened discernment for His people.   And yet, I still feel many are unknowingly deceived.....or worse yet, burying their heads in the sand.  "This is America, we won't have food shortages?"   "God is our provider"  Yes, He is... but He also gives us ample notice to prepare.  Are you listening to His still small voice?  Are you asking Him for guidance.  Even Homeland Security tells people to prepare for natural disasters.   

Ezekiel 3:17-19 - Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. 

Some people think a few canned goods or a pantry and refrigerator/freezer full of food is enough.  

What if power goes down?  How will you cook your food?  How will you store your food?  How long will it last in your refrigerator or freezer?   

In 2007, the Lord showed me a "great blackout".  What that looks like, I don't know for sure, but what I sense from my talks with the Lord, is that we will see great food shortages and even power outages for up to 90 days and then maybe upgrade somewhat....but life as we know it will never return.   

Amos 3:7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

We are already seeing food shortage and 300% increases in egg prices?  Egg farms are being destroyed, cattle farms are being destroyed, food plants are being burned down..... do you think that will magically not affect our food?    Heck, I just about had a heart attack when I bought asparagus last week.  When I looked at my receipt trying to figure out how 3 little bags of food cost me $89, I found I paid $14 for that asparagus.  Geez!  If I hadn't already got home, I think I might have returned it.  

This past weekend we had some friends over for dinner.  He's a store manager of a grocery store.  He is saying that is very very difficult to get what he orders.  He is having to find other avenues and even that is difficult.   

Imagine for just a minute - what if - a natural disaster hits, something that would affect our food supply instantly.  How long do you think the grocery store shelves would stay in stock?  What kind of mad house, and crazy lunatics would you have to come across trying to get what you can?  Would you really want to put yourself in that situation?  Does that bring you peace?  

Imagine this -what if things hit the fan (and they are heading that way fast).... what if you could just remain calm, knowing that you have food.  Knowing that what you have is something that will carry you through - and will last for a long time.  Does that bring you peace?   

You can prepare now.   There are so many "freeze dried" food companies out there.  They have been popping up for the last decade or so.  Many know and see the writing on the wall and they are trying to capitalize on the profits before the inevitable happens.   I have tasted at least 20+ of these companies food.  You have no idea where they are sourcing it, what quality control measures are in place and by sampling it, you will see what I mean.   

In 2009, the Lord pointed me towards Thrive Life.  They are the number one freeze dried food source and largest company in the United States - and soon to be overseas.  Why?  Because they have very strict standards, have control of their farms and food supplies.  Their quality control is over the top!  They mean business!    The 2 owners and the President and CEO are all incredibly filled with wisdom and foresight.  They are taking measures to prepare for the worst of times and yet still be able to supply the USA and other countries with food!  Wow!!!!!    My prayer is that they succeed.  And it should be your prayer too.   

And don't just prepare food - prepare for no paper products (hint toilet paper), toiletries and more.  Bartering may be our way of getting things we need.   Or we live without.  I don't know about you, but I'm not fond of the idea of not having toilet paper or water or food.  

I hope and pray we won't actually see what I have heard from the Lord.  We don't know what tomorrow brings, but we do know who holds our future in His hands.   My suggestion is to seek the Lord.  Ask Him what does He want you to prepare for.  Some people may need a bunch to care for elderly friends and family or neighbors....and others may need just enough for them.    I would rather purchase food and supplies and not "have" to use it... then to be up a creek without a paddle and not have anything.  

If you are interested in learning more - you can check out my website at https://michelecole.thrivelife.com or you can email me or call me.  

Please get prepared!   

Praise & Prayer - 

1.  Huge huge praise report...... I have been praying for a new bed for 9+ years.  We have been sleeping on the same mattress for 33 years.  We have bought inexpensive foam toppers but the one we have now is  even old.   Tonight we get a 5 year old - NEW to us Stearns & Foster mattress & box springs.  It has a built in foam topper on top of the top of the line mattress.  It is comfortable and I haven't been able to stop thanking God for this blessing.  The lady originally offered to sell to us for $100 then lowered the price to $50.  Wow!!!!   and then to top that off, someone gave us $50 out of the blue and so that is how we will pay for it.   God is so good!  I am believing that will help one with sleep but two even help with the pain in my back & hips.   So whoooohooo God!!! 

2.  Thank you for your continued prayers for Ken and having work.  Thankfully his boss likes him and he seems to get the first work available.  There are 2 guys that are not working at all - and haven't since before Christmas.   Even know we need more income to pay our bills....we are thankful for the work Ken has.  

3.  Please pray for increase in Thrive Life business..... so I can make the additional income we need... I don't want to do the business just for the income...  I am done with "sales".  Sales wears me out!  I just want people prepared, truly!  

4.  Praise - we sooo love our new church home and have been received well there.  Our home group is continuing to grow deep with God and with each other and outwardly as well.  We are already needing bigger space.  LOL!  

5.  Please pray for warmer temps.  This winter has been unusually cold.  We get snow and then a deep freeze so our roads stay icy. Our bedroom only has a space heater which we are careful how much we use (cost to use is high)..... so our temps stay between 52-55 typically.  No problem for sleeping but really cold getting out of bed to use the bathroom or shower (i know tmi)!  

Please let me know how I can pray for you.  I am thankful for those who reach out with prayer requests.   

Hugs, love and prayers.
