How Do You Get the Wall Before You to Fall?

Joshua v 20 When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city. 21 They devoted the city to the Lord  


Is there a mountain in your life you need moved? Is there a wall that needs to come down? A stronghold broken? Healing? Financial breakthrough?

This past Sunday, our pastor talked about Jericho Walls and the key to them coming down. It really struck me in several ways. I'll come back to that.

Ever since Ken and I got saved, the Lord has had us on a tremendous journey and increasing our faith through it. We sold our home in Kansas City in 2014 and moved to El Dorado Springs, MO because of His still small whisper and a water jug that a guest at our house brought with them. That was our confirmation. We did have several other "clues" that pointed us there. Some thought us foolish and it was definitely a stretching of faith. The time in Missouri gave us wisdom and knowledge about living off the grid, being in the country and learning about being self-sustaining. The night before moving day, our movers called and asked where they were taking our stuff, but we didn't know until after that call and let them know in the morning. There was grace for that. But not something I'd recommend.

There have been other times with moving that have been just as much a faith journey- see previous blog. And here we are again with the landlord selling the home and having to be out by 8/1. Just over 5 years ago, the Lord moved us from Missouri to Montana to fulfill the destiny He has for us. We are ready. He says we are ready. It's been a long long long journey of growing in Him. We've learned to be content with very little and we have learned greater humility and we have grown in faith more than I cared for (my fault - I prayed for world overcoming faith when I got saved).

We are less than 60 days out from needing to move. We have no idea where we are going (yet). God does....but unfortunately for us, He has not revealed it.

I have to say, we are weary. We are not wanting a last minute move and yet the days are ticking by. We want to KNOW where we are going and soon. We have faith and confidence that GOD will show up and HE will provide a place. We know His timing is perfect. But if you've ever had to wait until the last minute to move, you'll know how stressful that can be.  

We are looking at rentals HOWEVER we are contending for the Lord to open the door to DESTINY. That means a sizable acreage property with a home on it and the funds to support the vision and all that it requires. It's a faith walk for sure.  

We are praying for God to open ONLY the door HE has for us and shut all other doors. And the good news HE is shutting or keeping shut all doors for rental properties that possibly could work. Most are way out of our budget or too small or a huge amount of stairs. We do NOT feel we are to downsize everything. We've tried to sell furniture and other large items, but they are not selling. But anything little like a lamp, rug or a portable air conditioner etc is selling fast. So it seems like doors are staying closed for the bigger ticket items.

We have NO backup plan. We have no place we can just stay or store items and stay. We have no family we can stay with. We have GOD and God alone! That's enough!

Everything the Lord has been speaking and confirming through random prophetic words or in our quiet time is STAND and CONTEND for destiny! Contend for my healing! Contend for the breakthrough. And yet everything in the NATURAL is completely opposite!

So back to Jericho Walls! You see our walls. What is the key for us to have the breakthrough into DESTINY?

Here's what my pastor said - "The answer is UNITY!" Unity in prayers, unity in thoughts, words, actions and believing with us! It's true. What prayer would God answer, mine or yours when we are not praying in unity or agreement? The answer is unity for YOU as well.

Here's what I've seen. When you ask someone to pray for you - say for healing of a broken bone. And then they pray but tell you they prayed that the bone would just be comforted, not healed, how would you feel? Is that someone you want praying for you? If you asked someone to pray for your wayward child who is far from the Lord, would you be ok if they prayed for your child to just be happy doing whatever they are doing?? Seems ludicrous. Well, sadly that's often what I see. Maybe not these examples, but just the same, not praying in agreement or unity. It is hard enough to walk in faith. Believe me, we get enough flack from the enemy, why add fellow believers to that difficulty. Instead, let's come alongside someone in their time of need - believing and see what God can and will do in unity.


When someone asks us to pray for them, we come in agreement with what they are asking for (of course biblically based) and we also ask them what the Lord is speaking to them. If that seems sound, then why would we not want to pray in agreement?

Unity is key! Years ago, the Lord spoke those very words to Ken and I. When we are in unity, there is peace. When we pray in unity, answers come. When we are in disunity, God can't bless that. Do you hear what I'm saying? God wants to bless His children, but His children are not in UNITY!!

So.. what Jericho Wall do you have that needs to come down? What can we pray for you for in unity? Please reach out!


WE are asking for prayer in unity of what we feel the Lord is saying.
Open only the DOOR HE has for us and keep all others shut (and that He would reveal that soon). We contend for what we feel He's speaking and we trust Him for the outcome. If that door is another rental, we'll walk through it. But what IF it's the destiny property? What if God wants to do that NOW? Why would we want to settle for an Ishmael?  

 Matthew 9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

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.

What's Next Lord? Here We Go Again!!!

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight!


Have you ever had the phone ring and a pit immediately formed in your stomach?   

For the past few months Ken and I both have been sensing "change".   We have been feeling something shift in the spirit but not really knowing what.   Normally, I sense it first....and then when Ken does whatever "it" is, soon becomes reality.   I don't know why God typically tells me first other than maybe He knows that I'm a planner.  I need time to prepare.   Where Ken is more spontaneous and goes with the flow.  

When the Lord first showed us Montana, it was New Year's Eve and we were watching a show called Cedar Cove.  Mostly watched it because it had such beautiful scenery.  Filmed in British Columbia, Canada but portrayed off the coast of Seattle.   I remember that night watching the show and I said to the Lord,  "Why don't you move us some place like that to do the vision You have for us instead of boondocks Missouri?"   And that was the beginning stages of our move here to BEAUTIFUL MONTANA!    When we crossed over state line - my
spirit leapt and it sensed we were HOME!!   (I even have the shirt to prove it, lol).    The Lord would have to pry me out of here...and especially our Valley.  I told Him I wanted to die here!   

A couple of nights ago, I was lying in bed unable to sleep and I had a similar feeling as when I was watching that show Cedar Cove.  I said to the Lord, "How much longer must we be in this house, in the city and not in the destiny you have for us?"    Well, yesterday, He decided to answer that question.   My phone rang.  It was our landlord.  Let me first start by saying she has only called us one other time and that was to schedule a time to meet with us and sign a new lease and raise the rent.   So, a pit began to form when I saw her name on the caller id.   I answered the phone and her first comments were, "would you like to buy the house?"   My response, was I wish we could afford too because I knew where the conversation was heading.  She went on to say that they decided to sell then house and asked when a realtor could come take pictures.   My stomach dropped!  The floor is falling out from under us once again!! 

Let me give you some back story.   When the Lord first showed us moving away from Kansas City to El Dorado Springs, MO - we had 60 days notice to pack and find a new place to live.  The night before our move, our movers called and asked us where they were taking our belongings and our response was can we let you know in the morning because we did NOT know yet!!   We ended up living in temporary housing for 3 weeks and stored our stuff until a rental opened up.   

Next we lived in that house for five months.  The landlord called us one day and said we are selling the house.  We had a lease but that didn't matter.  The house sold instantly.  We still had no place to go on a Wednesday and we had to be out by Sunday.   On Saturday, we found a rental and moved in.   That was pretty intense!! 

Next when God was moving us from that last house in Missouri to Montana.  He told us we were moving 3 years in advance.  However, it wasn't until two months before the actual move before we could find a place to rent.  We rented sight unseen.   We had to and gladly chose to give up probably 95% of all our belongings to keep costs down on moving and to fit in the small place that opened up.     We were thankful because no one wanted to rent to us here unless we had jobs and no one would give us jobs without living here.  The rent was double what we were used too but this was the only open door!   But God!!!  

Next we lived in that place for about 2.5 years.  Had a great relationship with our landlord or so we thought.  The wife even came to our home group.   But one night we got a text and were told we had to be out in 30 days.   They wouldn't talk to us, wouldn't give us a reason just blatantly and rudely said get out.  Even had us served papers to be out.    So for the next 30 days desperately trying to find a place to live - nothing in this area was affordable and really nothing available. But with less than 2 weeks to spare, God opened up this home we are in now.  Again, the rent doubled and God came through.  It has served us well.  It was truly an answer to prayer for more space to host home group and entertain and show hospitality.    When we moved into this place, I asked the Lord if we could please, please stay here until such time He moves us into destiny.   And when that time came, not to rush it, not to have it be chaotic and stressful but that we could slip out with ease!   

We've been feeling the "grace" lift on this place. Not because it's a bad home or anything.  We are content here.  It's just the feeling we get when we know God is about to do something new.   He has been giving us tell tale signs He's used in the past, so why were we shocked?  

Well, the call came as you heard above.   We have to move out!  As far as I know we have until end of July, but will keep you posted!   That's when our lease is up but we know from previous experience how that might not be the case.  

Fear wants to take over my thought life but as I look back, I can see God's hand in every move. I can see how He has upgraded us each time and the provision for the increases were there.   We don't know our next steps yet other than PACKING!!   I am asking God in prayer to please reveal our next spot before the end of this month, so we know exactly how to pack or whether we have to get rid of stuff again.    There is a great tension of excitement and adventure but also of stress, chaos and hopelessness.     


We are taking this day by day...trusting God for His provision.  We are trusting the perfect place will open up to us.  We are praying and believing for His promises to come to pass in our lives!!     Please be in agreement with us for a beautiful next step! 

In the meantime, we continue to host home group, bless others with encouraging words and ministry and host people in our home.   


Prayer requests/praise reports!  

I've been struggling with some pretty severe pain still in my back, my feet and little to no sleep.   I've been begging God to take me home if healing isn't part of His plan.  I am weary on every level.  Soul tired!   Finances have been super tight and wondering how rent will get paid next month.  I've been applying for jobs and God has been keeping the doors shut tight!   I feel He wants me to write my books which I'm working on my cookbook now but that doesn't pay the bills. OH and  I begin a contest Favorite Chef 3/31.. so if you want to vote for me daily, that would be great!  https://favchef.com/2025/michele-cole.  If I win, I get $25,000... featured in Taste of Home Magazine and get to cook with a professional chef!   

Ken is still painting full time.  He is feeling grace departing from that as well...but stays plugging along until such time God has something different.  His boss is really good to him and he doesn't mind the work.   Ken is having to have much more dental work.  He just got his first crown being done from his emergency dental procedure last October.  That's another huge expense... that only God can fund!   The end of April, he will have more work done and the dentists is offering to do free in a clinical setting with other dentists watching.  So that's one way God helps provide for us.  

Our car - the infiniti that kind of died (just not safe to drive)... long story short it's possible we have friends that think they have found the part needed.  The part is not made anymore -which is weird for a 2006... and so it's a needle in a haystack.     We would love to fix the car so we can sell it along with the other one and upgrade.  Both cars are old and high mileage.   We would love something newer and a larger suv so we can get along with snowy weather better.      

Thank you for your prayers and support of what God is doing in and through us!! 


Hugs, love and prayers.

We Made It!

“The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Psalm 37:23 

If you read my last blog post, it talked about Gumby - yes the green flexible character.  Well, that was definitely what we needed to be with this move.    Our movers were originally scheduled for 4/10, but the Lord had a different plan.    

In our quiet time, the Lord told Ken to look at the weather forecasts.  In doing so, he felt the Lord showed him that we should leave a day earlier.  So we changed our movers to the 8th and were planning on leaving on the 9th - which we felt the Lord said "crossover on Passover".   Long story short, the movers were done early on the 8th.  Our plans to stay in KC for a night or two changed, so we decided to head to KC just to get ahead start on travel and leave early on 8th from there.  Neither one of us could sleep well that night so we were up and gone from the hotel by 4am.   The weather was good, except the 40 mph wind.  That made pulling a Uhaul trailer quite the challenge.  Our gas mileage went from 20mpg to 14mpg.  Ken couldn't even keep up with the speed limit.  Then suddenly my phone let out this alarm that made me jump a mile..."Squall warning".  I thought what the heck is a squall warning? LOL... well, we were in the middle of near white out conditions, blizzard snow coming down.  In looking at the radar it made more sense to keep driving then to stop so we could get through it.  Otherwise we would of had to wait it out a very long time!    

The drive was really boring - I mean worse than Western Kansas boring.  And what else, was that we were literally the ONLY car on the highway with an occasional trucker passing by.  Ok, once in a great moon we saw a car, but seriously it was rare.  The first time we saw even a few in one place was when we stopped in Rapid City, SD for a quick bite.  We thought that's where we would bed down for the night, but God had other plans.  He said get to Montana - stop in Broadus, MT for the night.  By the time we got to our little hotel room in a town of just a few people, it was 930pm.  That made our driving day a 17.5 hour day!!!  We were exhausted!  But we made it there safe and sound! Thank YOU Lord.   What the Lord showed us was that we "crossed over" into our Promise Land of Montana on Passover, literally!!!  How cool is that!

The next day the 10th, we again we got up and out the door by 5am.  The sun was shining and you could see why they call it Big Sky country.  It was all you could see for miles!   Again, not a car in sight, but a random trucker would pass us by.   That brought a smidgeon of anxiety, beings that we had no cell service and our car was burning oil, like it was gasoline.  Adding the weight of the trailer I'm sure didn't help the engine's efficiency.    By 5pm we were rolling into our new town of Hamilton, MT.  We made a stop by the new place to drop the trailer and meet our wonderful neighbors and landlord George & Anna.  We then went to a Airbnb in Darby, the south end of the Bitterroot Valley.  That place was magnificent.  It was a fully equipped 1 bedroom apartment with of course mountain views and a nice hot tub which our bodies so needed!! We couldn't
move in until Monday afternoon until the internet had been installed as we would have needed to be "quarantined" for 14 days first.   As we told you, the Lord wanted us to get here before the weather hit......and it did hit.  The first night we stayed in Darby, it snowed 5-6". It was beautiful as we sat by the fire and took in the amazing mountain views.  And enjoying Huckleberry everything - Montana is known for Huckleberries.  It's kind of like a blueberry - cross with raspberry?  It's delicious. 
On Monday afternoon, we got to move into our new place.  The movers called and said they'd be there Friday.  So we had sometime to unpack what we brought in the Uhaul and roughed it a bit with 2 folding chairs and a blow up mattress as our only furniture.  The mover called and said he would arrive at 3pm.  At 630 he showed up to our storage unit.  Did you catch that, mover, singular, one older man.  I thought how in the world would he be able to unload everything first of all and secondly how long would it take.  I finally convinced him to only unload storage that night which it took 3 hours and then the rest the next day.  The next day it took him 6 hours and both Ken and I 4 hours of doing what he should have been doing, but it got done and we had our own bed to sleep in.   He had a special stair climbing dolly (we have 15 stairs to get up to our place) that he used and was able to bring up our full size couch and other pieces of furniture and many boxes at one time with it, with no other help.  Crazy!   


Our home is comfortable.  It's much smaller in some way and doesn't have as many cabinets or storage places so we will be living out of tubs and boxes.  Much more ended up in storage than we had planned.  Our kitchen table is a 2x4 folding table (that's what fits)- not going to be conducive to guests....but we'll figure out something.   Our landlord let us use his bison rug (see picture).  It goes well with our furniture and decor.   George and Anna, our neighbors and landlords have been most amazing.  They brought us homemade salsa - some of the best I've ever had, Albondigas soup - which seriously was the most incredible stock base ever....and did I say geese jerky?  Geese jerky he made absolutely delicious!!!  We have geese that fly over the house often, so that's where it came from!  He has brought us other yummy things and I have reciprocated with a few things as well.  Soon, we will have them up for a meal.  We've enjoyed their company, sitting outside (with coats & blankets) taking in the views and getting to know one another.   Actually the temps here have been in the 60's which feels like 75 with the sun shining...but when the sun is behind the clouds or the wind is blowing, it's cold.   We have no air conditioning so hoping the cooler nights, keep our home comfortable. 

The views from our place are incredible.  To the west, our back deck you see us with the Bitterroot Mountains behind us.   The front deck view is the Bitterroot River which is absolutely stunning with the sun glistening on it...and this river runs through much of the town/valley.  We also can see the Sapphire Mountains to the East.   The few people we have met have been very friendly and welcoming!  We got to visit a church live and in person Sunday and that was much needed!  Each day we venture out for a drive to one of the nearby towns - there are about 10 of them in a 45 mile stretch.  We found an Amish store in one yesterday that we love and will shop at often!   

The other thing we have learned quickly is that there are a bunch of "gardening" type farms -that raise beef, chicken, produce, make cheese and more.  Everything is organic, grass fed and non-gmo. Matter of fact, you can't be in the farmer's market unless you are... so pretty much all are!  One farm offers what they call "mayday gardens" free to those who want to learn.  So we signed up for one and will get that in a few days.  Here's what it includes: 


What will I get in my Mayday Garden?
Your Future Food will include these vegetables, herb, and flower plants:
6 cabbage, 6 swiss chard, 6 kale, 3 broccoli, 3 kohlrabi, 1 pac choi, 1 chinese cabbage, 1 napa cabbage, 6 lettuce, 6 onion clusters, 6 bush beans, 2 dill, 2 calendula, 2 nasturtium, 2 tomatoes, 2 zucchini, 2 cucumbers hills, and 2 winter squash hills.

We are excited to have a place where can we garden again and will be thankful for the food harvest!   Our neighbor gave us a ton of pots and planters so we can transplant our garden into those.  

The grocery stores here are great... most offer a big big selection of hormone, antibiotic free meats, free range eggs, organic produce and healthy options.  The downside is food is much more expensive than what we are used to paying, but we will be eating healthier!  There is one farm here that offers beef filet for $64lb, not a restaurant, but buy and take home.  Farm eggs are $5-6 a dozen.    Our nearest Walmart is almost an hour away and Costco too.  We haven't ventured that far yet but will probably in the near future.  The town we are in has 4400 people in it.. and around 12k in the country around it. The whole valley has about 65k people, not counting Missoula which is the town we will go to for Walmart, etc.  It's a college town and has about 70k in it alone.   Actually, that's where we saw cars and traffic for the first time in our 29 hour drive from Eldo to Montana!  

We are so blessed to be here and thankful for all of you who prayed for us - and are continuing to do so.   Thank you for those who have checked in on us!  It's been nice talking with some of you even through video.   That is still the hardest thing for me - not being able to see you all face to face.... so I'm hoping you'll come for a visit soon!   

Please continue to pray for my health - pain levels are ridiculous and unfortunately sleep hasn't improved, maybe even worse.  I am fighting discouragement as I really felt the Lord said He would heal me as we came...but hasn't yet.     Ken has made job applications at quite a few places, but no one is in hiring or interviewing mode quite yet.  Of course, we are still contending and believing for provision to step into the destiny God has for us here.  

We love you and are thankful for you!!

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.
