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. 

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.  

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;

6 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.

Exceedingly Abundantly More!!

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us... Ephesians 3:20 

I don't want to beat you over the head with my Thrive Life business... but I do want to share a huge testimony.   Last month started off as normal.  And then my sales got to $8600.  I prayed that God would help me hit $10,000 as that's the next level and would earn me some additional points towards Cancun (and of course some additional pay).   A day or two after I prayed that, I noticed my sales hit $18,000.   I was like wow!! God did exceedingly abundantly more than the $1400 I asked for.   Well, the next level was at $25,000 and I thought - is it possible God, 2 weeks out and needing that much?  Well, anything is possible with God! Matthew 19:26.   God sent total strangers to my website with orders.  And on the last day of the month, I hit the goal.  Nothing like nail biting leaving it to the last hours.   Well, actually it was not until today before the "official" numbers computed in my virtual office.  God is always the God of the 11th hour isn't he.   I am so thankful for Him and for all of you! 

Safety News Alert and other new sources are urging people to get prepared!  https://www.safetynewsalert.com/news/whats-really-behind-spate-of-food-facilities-burning-to-the-ground-fbi-warns-of-trouble-to-come/.    Recently one of my mentors with this company attended a Corporate Event... and she said that Thrive Life is anticipating a HUGE surge of production and sales due to what's going on in the world.  They are bracing themselves and preparing for US!    If you would like more information - please email me at michele@wantinsight.com - and more info at the bottom of this post. 

Switching Gears!!!  Just a little testimony of God's healing touch! 

Several months ago, I met this lady who was diagnosed with cancer last year and sent home on hospice.  Her husband quit his job to be with her.   We have been building a relationship and she is most delightful.   A year ago as I said, she was told she had days to live.  It's been a year !  God has been sustaining her and healing her little by little.  Us and some other folks are visiting her and praying for her and each time, she gets stronger.  Not long ago, she broke her arm.  She didn't get any treatment or surgery for it due to hospice care.  I felt the Lord told me to share with her some of this Comfrey salve I had.  I did.  A friend of ours in Clinton Mo makes it. https://www.papatownscomfreyproducts.com/shop/comfrey-salve-4-oz   -   Her arm and hand was swollen and extremely painful.  She used the product and within a day all the swelling went down and now using it for a few weeks, she can tell her bones are healing and she is able to do more with her arm.  Wow!!!   I love when God gives a word of wisdom and it has impact! (of course it does, if it's from Him).   

I love to pray for people.  I love to hear God's voice to bring encouragement, healing or a touch to those in need.   

There is a lady in our home fellowship that had the Covid vaccine because she worked in a hospital. She was so concerned about the side effects.  I felt the Lord told me to pray for her that the injection she got would be a placebo effect. That there would be no side effects or any issues from it.   A month or so later she happened to look up the "lot number" and found that this lot number had NO side effects, no reported cases of any issues whatsoever.   She was so amazed and gave credit to the prayers and to the Lord of course!  

If you are wanting prayer, please let me know.  I am happy to pray for you!   Reach out and let me know.   Some of you have and some have seen some answered prayers!  Praise God. 

We are in precarious times....and many are feeling stressed or fearful over the unknown future..  Let's be the body of Christ and lift each other up to the throne room!   

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:18

I feel led to ask again... here are a few ways you can help us = we still have credit card debt that we are trying hard to pay off - this is because of unexpected expenses & just the cost of living.  It's expensive here in MT.   We are also trying to get to KC in June... surprise Ken's folks for a family reunion, see the many friends we did NOT get to see or say goodbye too.   With Ken not having vacation pay and gas prices, we have a big need.

   Email me at michele@wantinsight.com or call me 913 980 4440.

1.  Facebook Marketing - which I have room for one or two more accounts - this is where I help market your business or ministry on Facebook.  I have had 30+ years sales and marketing and the last 8 years doing Facebook. I took over 40 hours of training and am still actively pursuing further knowledge on how to increase traffic to your page and build a customer base.  I have had huge success with several companies over the years.  I am really geared towards small business.   So if you know of anyone who might want my services, I'd love to chat.

2.  I am actively doing Thrive Life - long term food storage.   This is great for people who don't like the preparation to cook meals everyday, great for singles & families - no waste, fresh food.  25 year shelf life unopened & 1 year opened (with just a few exceptions).   Kids even love this - they'll eat vegetables right out of the can.   This food is amazing!  You can buy other products in the big box stores or online, but if you were to compare side by side - you would find this is far superior in quality and nutrition.  Thrive Life is the leading company out there.  They are proactive -and offer non-gmo, organic and mostly organic (some items they haven't paid for that label as to keep prices down).   They are a great company to work for.  For those that know me, know I am a foodie.   I've tried many other companies brands before I found this and this is the product I believe in and KNOW is good!   

With the ever increasing need to be prepared, food shortages, inflation, this is something I feel the Lord has asked me to be committed to.  You can check out my website at https://michelecole.thrivelife.com.   There are 3 ways that help me.        You can have a tasting party - and I can do it even long distance - over zoom! 

     a.  Be a customer - start a monthly delivery (can skip months) with a budget you can afford and prepare for what's here and coming.    If you bought from me before but went inactive, we can reactivate your account under my name.    By choosing monthly delivery  over $99 you get free shipping & a 15% discount.  They offer monthly sales that are worth looking at too!   Even the news channels are reporting to expect food shortages!!!!!  

     b.  Refer people to my website who may want to store food.  If you are a customer, you get a referral link.  When you share that link -you get discounts and free food when they order.  (a lady here had earned $1000+ in free food) 

     c.  Become a consultant - hear me out - you don't have to sell unless you want too.  People become consultants for several reasons.  One - they get paid 5% on everything they spend over $50. Did you hear that - you get paid on your own orders.  Two - if you share with friends and family you can build a residual income & earn free food.  Especially in the first 100 days.  Three - some (me) are wanting this to be a way to earn serious cash.  Yes, this is a MLM company - but there compensation plan can be quite lucrative.  I'm still learning all about this... there are some consultants who are "inactive" and still making 6 figures off residual sales  That would be my goal - not to be inactive -but to make a nice living so we can really step into full time ministry when God opens that door.  This would fund that!  

3.  We are trying to sell our timeshares.  We have two.  We have moved away from the area and there is no chance we will get back to use them.  

     Branson - http://rocklane.com/branson-yacht-club/

     2 bedroom, 2 full bath - sleeps 6, full amenities, kitchen, wifi - on the lake - beautiful views.  Down the street from Silver Dollar City.  Quite, peaceful location.   You get to use it 1 week every ODD year for life (but they are flexible on that).  You can also break it up to 3 nights and 4 nights in any given year.  Annual dues $330.  We are asking $5000 (includes closing costs).  Will consider other offers.  You can rent it out when not using yourself and get $500-$750 a week.  We've done that often throughout the years.  This is something you own and can pass down through inheritance.  You can also subscribe to RCI and trade this week for anywhere else.  We did that a couple of times. Branson has great trading ability.  

    Lake of the Ozarks -       http://www.lakeview-resort.com

    This is a studio condo- sleeps 4 - but more comfortable for just 2.  Kitchen & bath.  On the lake - full amenities.  Great out of the way location.  Annual dues $230.  We are asking $3500 (includes closing costs).  This is 1 week a year anytime for life.  

 

Please let me know how I can pray for you - and how I can celebrate God's goodness with you! 

Hugs, love and prayers.

Why So Quiet?

Ecclesiastes 3:7  A time to be silent and a time to speak. 


This verse is pretty interesting in several ways....

I pray this when praying for others or self for wisdom in how to minister to have a difficult conversation..  Lord give them/me the words to speak and silences to keep.

I pray this just in general - so that I don't mince my words or babble on and on (now that last part doesn't always stop me, lol)

Years ago, I felt the Lord leading me to write this blog in general and to be transparent in my/our walk.  He wanted me to express the ups and downs of the journey He has us on.  Sharing about my health, the financial needs, the destiny He has for us and other things as He led.

I've always been a "wear" everything on my sleeve kind of person.  I'm real. I'm authentic and I definitely say what's on my mind most of the time.  There isn't much people don't know.. (maybe a few private things).

I have learned much about being transparent and sharing things... some good and some not so good.
Maybe the biggest thing is the resolve and intentionality of staying focused on what GOD speaks to us vs what man's opinion is.   Believe me, that's been a big challenge.  I now truly grasp what Bruce Wilkinson wrote in his book "The Dream Giver" - about Border Bullies.   There are people well intentioned or not who get offended or hurt if you don't follow their advice.    For example (not relating to our vision) - I had someone tell me that if I didn't follow their "health protocol" which was hundreds of dollars a month in supplements, that there would be no way I could ever be healed.   I loved the product they offered and use some of them periodically, but I did not feel the Lord leading that nor providing for that.  If God leads, He meets the need!

Back in the late 80's after Ken and I got back from our honeymoon, my step mother said to me.  Something has changed in you two.  You are more mature.   She said "your father and I are here to provide any advice you may want, but it's up to you to decide if its applicable to apply to your situation or circumstances".      She went on to say that we would know the right direction if we were in unity and followed our gut (which now I feel means the Holy Spirit's leading).   That was profound and has stuck with us all these years.    We love advice, but not forced on us. We do seek a multitude of counselors who are involved with us on a regular basis... we ask, listen and then seek the Lord to determine what we ought to do.  And years ago, the Lord showed us that Ken and I being in unity was key.


We have been told that we must be missing God's will and direction because things are so hard. Look at those God used in the Bible - were their lives easy?  Ha!   I truly believe the Lord leads us very specifically and we really can't derail His plan for our lives unless we choose to blatantly be disobedient, but even then, that's questionable. Check these verses out!

“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. Job 42:2

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies has spoken— who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?” Isaiah 14:27

If you've known us for a while you would know that if we believe we've heard God, we are obedient.  I cannot tell you how many people have made comments to us about our obedience and faith.   Now I don't say that arrogantly....but it's the walk God has placed us on and we so desire to please God and live for God daily.   It doesn't always make sense to us or others... and that's where learning when to speak and when to be silent is essential.   I guess like Joseph sharing his dream with his brothers - we too shared the vision God has for us - maybe prematurely - maybe not - but it has cost us - and for me the greatest cost has been relationships have severed.   I have to choose to trust God and that He has brought the separation for a reason.   But I don't have to like it!

With all this being said... I haven't blogged for the last two months in obedience.  I feel God has got me/us in a season of just being quiet... and allowing Him to do what He wants to do.   I also feel it's His protection.  Honestly, we are weary, wounded but healing and desperately awaiting His promises too manifest.   Many are!   We are trusting Him day by day and often moment by moment.






We love and appreciate all of you who love us right where we are at.  We are so thankful for the prayer support and those that sow into us financially as led by the Lord.  Those are precious gifts we covet (not the money) but the support of who we are and our walk with the Lord.   Our prayer needs remain the same, health, daily need, car issues and provision to step into destiny...  Thank YOU for helping to hold our arms up during this extended wilderness season.

Blessings - 
I will say that God has blessed us with an increase in people attending our small group.  We have a new couple who are just barely weeks clean from meth addiction and salvation...and others,  this brings us renewed purpose here...to be used to help disciple and mentor and equip to be used mightily by the Lord.  Praise God!   One of them has asked us to baptize them... in Stockton Lake - that's a stretch for me cuz "THERE ARE SNAKES IN LAKES".  LOL!!!    We have 2 people who literally drive back and forth from KC to come to our group too.  That's a huge honor to continue to sow into their lives as well.

I'm also thankful that God has given Ken a small raise and a few more hours at his job.  He got promoted to a manager position.  Every little bit helps.

Oh and another big PRAISE - I received a package in the mail from Amazon a few weeks back.  I had no idea who sent it.  It was some natural sleeping pills called U Dream.  About a week after I got it (I had not taken any yet) a friend asked me if I got her package... so then I felt ok to take the pills.  They are working!  I have tired everything under the sun for years to get sleep.  These pills actually give me 6 solid hours of sleep.     God is good.   So trusting He will provide for me to continue with them.

Our church has asked us to do a "gourmet cooking class".  They are starting a new summer series on food.... so one class is cooking desserts, two weeks later another on grilling and smoking and then two weeks later for us we will do 2 classes on gourmet.  So planning a small feast for about 20 people there...  kind of a stretch of our comfort zone... but excited to do it.

One more prayer request - My sister Lianne Abare was in the Linwood KS F4 Tornado.  She was about a block or two from the very destructive and violent part but did get some serious damage.  A big tree landed on our house, broke through the roof, limbs coming through. She had window
damage, porch & awning damage, ceilings, carpet, etc.  God sent some amazing people the first few days to do some emergency repair/fix... She has NO insurance because it's an older mobile home.  She has probably an additional 10k in repairs that need to be done.   If you feel led, PayPal.me/lianneabare.  We are praising God the storm didn't reach her direct.  She would of been dead being in the mobile home.  Others homes completely flattened.   So sad!

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.  

Superman (Superwoman) Arise

"Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” Luke 18:17

God kisses!  Love them, don't you?

In 2015 a friend of mine who lives in Kansas City, asked her 12 year old daughter at the time, to pray for me because of all the health issues I deal with.  She had messaged me this on Facebook and told me her daughter was praying.  How sweet is that.   My friend sent me a message with this picture attached to it.  She said her daughter drew it as she was praying for me.  I replied back with my jaw hitting the floor.

Just a few weeks before this I was in my quiet time and I had a vision of Superman.  I asked the Lord why am I seeing Superman?  He said, its not Superman but Superwoman!  I said ok, why am I seeing Superwoman?  He replied, this is how I intend to restore you.  I intend to heal your body with greater energy and strength than you've ever had before.  He said a whole bunch more....but you get the idea.

This 12 year old girl did NOT know anything about this.  In fact, no one did but me and God!  When I told her mom about this, she went to her daughter and told her this story.  Her daughter looked at her and went, "well duh mom, this is what God told me to pray and draw for her".    God is so good!  I keep this as my Facebook profile and am growing my hair out and won't cut only trim UNTIL I AM HEALED!!!  

When Ken saw this picture, he noticed the long hair.  He reminded me of Samson in the Bible -when he had long hair, he had strength and when it was cut, he lost all of it.  As a prophetic and symbolic act, I've been growing my hair out since then.  It is getting kind of long - so in faith, believing that soon, my healing, my strength and energy will be returning (and all the other ailments are gone too).

Judges 16:17 So he (Samson) told her (Delilah) everything. “No razor has ever been used on my head,” he said, “because I have been a Nazirite dedicated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.”    -  And our pastor taught on Samson this past weekend..  Lots of confirmations.... 

Fast forward to this past week, a Facebook friend posted this on her wall.   It resonated in my spirit and was just another kiss from God that His promises are yes and amen!!!

Superman Will Arise
Kathi Pelton

Recently the Lord took me into a vision where I saw men and women who had the appearance of Clark Kent. They were in business attire, wearing glasses, performing menial jobs, and they were virtually unnoticed by those around them. Beneath their outward appearances they had been prepared for an unveiling. Then in a sudden moment of alert or awakening they arose from their desks and ran to the nearest phone booth, discarding their glasses along the way, and transformed into Superman. 

I asked the Holy Spirit why I was seeing this scene and He showed me that many of His people have been living with a “hidden identity” that kept them from influence, authority, and power; but very soon His Spirit would come upon them and it would be time for them to transform into the heroes of faith that they are called to be. They have been prepared for the day of His power.

These unknown and even unnoticed ones have been prepared for the time when the Lord will suddenly transform them into history changers and chain breakers: supernatural men and women. They will move in power because of the power of the blood of Jesus and because they bear His name upon their chests—they wear the breastplate of righteousness.

The time is coming, and quickly coming, for these hidden heroes to emerge with strength and power bestowed by their heavenly Father. Their training has been in the secret place, unnoticed and unrecognized by those around them. They will carry His name and rescue many captives. They will be given authority that causes time to align with the Lord’s timing of events and seasons. They will soar above the chaos and with great love receive strategies and wisdom regarding what issues and difficulties to touch and how to touch them. They will be counted among great heroes of faith like we read of in Hebrews 11. Obedience to His voice, His instructions and His timing has aligned them with God’s timing.

Get ready to see Superman arise!

Just last night I heard a song that I don't recall hearing it before and yet it was another confirmation that for those of us who have been contending and believing for the promises of God, do not give up. We never know how He will show up and do the unimaginable.  He is faithful and we can rest in that!!  Yes and Amen by Chris Tomlin -   Here's the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITQnbOihe3Y

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see Hebrews 11:1 

Suddenlies are coming to those waiting in faith!  I believe the season of our lifetime is about to be embarked on!  



Prayer:
Ken - we had a painting job but they cancelled it the day before he would start.  We are really in a pickle with upcoming bills due.  Please pray for God to bring forth provision... He has a deck to stain but not sure when that will start/end.  That will help some.  We'd really love to sell our two timeshares - one in the Ozarks studio condo and one in Branson 2 bedroom condo.. know anyone?? 
Michele - sleep.  Ugh.   Under great attack.   I am excited about all the connections we are getting because of the article that got published on Elijah List.  Having good conversations.  
Ministry - please continue to pray for the provision to step into destiny.  God has been pleased that we have not advanced ahead of Him.  We have had several offers for other locations but God has repeatedly confirmed to wait.... not to birth an Ishmael and that is what we are doing!

Thank you so much for you ongoing prayers for us.  And thank you for sending me your prayer requests.  I have much time on my hands so it's an honor to pray for you.

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.
