Rejoice for the Suddenlies are Coming!

Rejoice with those who rejoice! 

Romans 12:15b

You’ve been waiting on God for years to fulfill the vision He has for you.  You’ve believed.  You’ve fought hard in prayer and contending.   You’ve been in a wilderness for what seems forever.  The Lord keeps showing you that soon, your destiny will be at your doorstep.   And day after day passes by……..but SUDDENLY! 

Last week, The Elijah List published a prophetic word the Lord had given to me.  My good friend and spiritual mother Joni Ames sent it in and I was so honored that they would consider publishing it.   There are amazing prophetic voices that write for them.  I sensed the Lord said for me to send the word to Joni and ask what she thought and if she would send it to Elijah List.  It was merely an act of obedience.  Joni said it was confirmation of what her and James Goll had been hearing and immediately sent it in with her recommendation and introduction to us. You can read the word here - http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=20762

Once the word was published by Elijah List on Tuesday 9/4, I was in awe.  I received upwards of 50 emails and they still keep coming in.   Some were saying how encouraging it was and that it gave them hope and faith to continue to stand.  Others were inviting us to their countries to speak and minister and others were wanting to connect and talk because they read my bio and then went to my blog and read more.  I know that God has been raising up similar visions across the world, but when you actually get a ton of emails from different people across the country that confirms it, it really boosts the hope button!  So often we lose hope and fall into discouragement wondering if we ever heard from God correctly.  This shows that we have.  Praise God!   God knows what we need when we need it, doesn’t He?   

There is something huge that came from this as well, but not at liberty to say yet.  I can tell you this - that 5-7  friends and connections I have, I have introduced to someone who can potentially fund the dreams and visions the Lord gave them.  SUDDENLY God shows up on the scene for them.  Connections made and next steps towards destiny for these folks is happening!  

I am so overflowing with JOY and TEARS for these connections.  Who would of thought that my article getting published by Elijah List would cause this incredible wave of blessings for so many.   God is so GOOD!  Obedience is key to the SUPERNATURAL WAYS OF GOD! 

I’ll say it again - Rejoice with those who rejoice!  Romans 12:15b  I AM REJOICING!!! 

Seriously, I am so happy for these people and know that God is at work behind the scenes for us as well.  He will not fail us!  His promises are Yes and Amen! 

I hadn’t planned on writing about this today, but in my quiet time, I sensed a nudging saying please share this GOOD NEWS so others can see that I AM is at work!  I want to encourage you to keep believing God for what HE has promised YOU!  Even if it looks dark and hopeless, nothing is impossible for God!   He will show up at just the right time.  

Jesus can do it ANYTIME!!  Here’s a passage that God can do it even if in the natural it looks like there is NO WAY!!! 

John 11:38-44 NIV 

Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead

Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.  “Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.  I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”  The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE FOR THE LORD IS FAITHFUL!  

Prayer needs:

Ken - Pray for physical strength and sweet sleep.  He has a painting job and a cleaning job this week in addition to his other job.  We are thankful for the work but it's hard and quite physical.   We are in need of a sizeable amount of provision for upcoming bills due.  We are trying to sell things but not much success.  Please pray they sell quickly!!!

Michele - Sleep has improved but still not where I would like it.  When I sleep I have more mental energy to write my 3 books.  I need to work on them more!   Still much pain, but know that God is going to bring my healing!

Ministry - Our Thurs group is going well, and one and one discipleship is good.  We are still believing for the funding to move into destiny. 

If you have been blessed by this ministry or feel led to support what God is doing through us - financially, below are a few options.  Your generosity and your prayer support is greatly appreciated and needed as we continue to walk in faith and God's calling.

Vision

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

The retreat portion of our ministry is to provide a safe place for pastors, lay leaders & other ministry folks to come and be refreshed & encouraged through prophetic ministry (if wanted).  We will offer 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.  

From Relief to Restoration!

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.  1 Peter 5:10 

Are you in need of restoration?  Has the previous season left you weary and broken?  I have great news for you!   God is in the restoration business!  This past very long season has been one that has shaken, refined, strengthened, and increased our faith.  

On Sunday, our pastor taught a message on Relief vs Restoration.  His message was focused on helping the needy in our community.  It was a great message and I encourage you to listen to it here.  https://vimeo.com/eldochurch.  (Permission given to use).

He defined Relief as an immediate and temporary assistance.

Here’s Oxford Dictionary definition: 

re·lief

[rəˈlēf]

NOUN

a feeling of reassurance and relaxation following release from anxiety or distress:
"much to her relief, she saw the door open"
synonyms: reassurance · consolation · comfort · solace

assistance, especially in the form of food, clothing, or money, given to those in special need or difficulty:

Here’s what needing relief looks like to the one in need as I can honestly say this has been our situation for sometime.  

Needing Relief: 

Barely getting by, 

skimping,

feeling trapped

fear of lack,

doing without,

always wondering how bills will get paid, 

looking for work at every opportunity, 

praying to God to meet the needs,

attempting to sell personal goods,

not being able to put aside savings, 

asking the doctor to fill your prescription without visiting his office,

completely depending on God to fill the deficit,

trusting God to sustain your health

On the other hand, restoration looks very different.

Joe, our pastor quotes "   Restoration is an ongoing effort to restore people to their God-given potential.” 

Oxford Dictionary defines it as: 

res·to·ra·tion

[ˌrestəˈrāSH(ə)n]

NOUN

the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition:
"the restoration of Andrew's sight"
synonyms: repair · repairing · fixing · mending · refurbishment · [more]

the reinstatement of a previous practice, right, custom, or situation:
"the restoration of capital punishment”

According to reference.com, the Bible has a very different interpretation.  

“The biblical meaning of the word "restoration" is to receive back more than has been lost to the point where the final state is greater than the original condition. The main point is that someone or something is improved beyond measure.”

Years ago when we were first being trained in the prophetic, in hearing God’s voice, we would notice a “theme”.   Often God speaks to others with the same or similar message.  It is always encouraging as it’s great confirmation that what I’m hearing is on the right track.  

I want to share what I felt the Lord spoke into my spirit this week.   Every January, I seek the Lord for a word, a scripture that I can stand on.  Typically, it gives me hope and courage to continue to contend for the promises He has spoken to me.   Last year, He spoke a year of surprises and Ephesians 3:20.   Well, those were definitely the case.   He surprised us in letting us know of “new plans” He has for us and He absolutely blew us away with His grand provision that brought “relief” in immeasurable ways.   If you’ve been following the blog, you know many of the ways He showed up and blessed us.  We are beyond thankful for your prayers, support and encouragement. 

As I was sitting with the Lord, I sensed that we had shifted from one season to the next.  I sensed that in 2017 was a year of “relief.”   And that it was!  

This year, however, 2018 is a year of restoration for us and many others!  The verses that the Lord brought to mind is: 

Psalm 126

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of[a] Zion,
    we were like those who dreamed.[b]
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
    our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we are filled with joy.

4 Restore our fortunes,[c] Lord,
    like streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow with tears
    will reap with songs of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping,
    carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.

Joel 2:25  will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten- the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm- my great army that I sent among you.

It's time to step into the John 10:10 abundant life! 

Restoration takes on a whole new look.  It is filled with promises straight from the Word of God.  God’s promises are yes and amen and we are counting on these promises to come into fulfillment, even this year.  Here are a few I felt led to share with you.  I pray they encourage and strengthen you.  

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”  

Revelation 21:4

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.  Psalm 51:12

Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy. Isaiah 61:7

Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.  Zecheriah 9:12

Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security.  Jeremiah 33:6

And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.  Job 42:10

For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord, because they have called you an outcast: ‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares! Jeremiah 30:17

I end with a few prophetic words that have been posted recently.  These words have such confirmation that restoration is coming to many.  I pray for you as well!

2018 Will Be a Year of Divine Recovery, Restoration, and Recompense!

by Angie Stolba

“For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In My faithfulness I will reward My people and make an everlasting covenant with them.” (Isaiah 61:8)

“2018 will be a year of divine recovery, restoration, and recompense,” declares the Lord! “Expect to see My swift justice in the very areas of extreme loss and hardship that you had experienced in your previous season. As it is written in the book of Isaiah,

“‘Here is My servant, whom I uphold,

My chosen one in whom I delight;

I will put My Spirit on Him,

and He will bring justice to the nations.

He will not shout or cry out,

or raise His voice in the streets.

A bruised reed He will not break,

and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out.

In faithfulness He will bring forth justice’ (Isaiah 42:1-3).

“My Bride, I have been purifying you for such a time as this. Even as you have gone through the fire, I have been burning off the dross and molding. I have been shaping you, even as the potter does with his clay. You have allowed Me to have My way with you, and you have endured the process. Now, My Beloved, you have come forth pure and restored, as only what I desire in you has remained.

“‘By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work’ (1 Corinthians 3:10-13).

“Watch now, as I open the floodgates and pour out a blessing upon you that you will not be able to contain! I am turning the bitter waters of the previous season into My sweet waters of refreshing, renewal and restoration! As I bring my restoration, things will not be like they have been before, but rather you will experience even better. I am restoring your joy, and you will laugh again! For out of your belly shall flow My living waters (John 7:38).

“Such healing and transformation are taking place right now, both physically and spiritually. Your health and vigor are even being restored in this very season! You shall rise up with wings like eagles, and you shall run and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).

“I am releasing a new-found freedom in you, even now as you enter into My rest. Allow me to rejuvenate and refresh you, My Bride!

“‘My beloved spoke and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling,

my beautiful one, come with me. See! The winter is past;

the rains are over and gone’’ (Song of Songs 2:10-11).

“Arise and shine! Your light has come, Beloved, and My glory rises on you in this new season (Isaiah 60:1).”

“When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy.

Then it was said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” (Psalm 126:1-3).

Prayer Requests:
Ken - please pray for a simple inexpensive fix - we have an oil leak that is getting worse so we are forced to take it in to shop.  Appointment for tomorrow.  Please pray for God's provision.  What we really need and are praying for is a new SUV.
Also, our prayer for sometime is that Ken could find consistent full time work that would be adequate to pay our bills.   We feel we are where God wants us for now.....and so please pray that this prayer can be answered or God would shift us suddenly into destiny with full provision to do what He's asking of us.
Michele - please pray for sleep - both of us are not sleeping well.   I'm doing ok mostly, but I am still grieving the loss of Canyon - and the loss of not having any dogs at this time.
Ministry - there have been several new connections recently and more opportunities to minister and bring transformation.  We are contending and believing God for the retreat/equipping center to come into fulfillment.
