Courage Doesn't Always Roar!!

"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  

'The LORD is my portion,' says my soul, 'therefore I will hope in him.'"  Lamentation 3:22-24 

It seems as if the Church is in a season of "perseverance" and "enduring".  It may look different for each one of us, but I feel we are being stretched beyond our human ability in some cases.   Our only hope is to stay rooted and grounded in the Word and in an abiding relationship with the Lord.   He is our rock, our peace, our shelter in the storm and our HOPE!    He is faithful even when the storm is raging from all directions.  

I recently had a vision that I was in an open field.  The storm clouds were above me, dark and ominous and threatening to consume me.  My head was tilted and eyes were on the storm.  An Indian Chief came out of nowhere and picked me up and took me to his teepee.  Two Indian women began to minister to me healing.  It took some time, and then I saw myself get up and begin to dance an Indian celebration dance.   I asked the Lord what this meant and I felt He showed me that myself along with many in the body of Christ are experiencing some pretty intense and difficult circumstances that are unrelenting.  It's been nearly impossible to keep our eyes focused on Jesus consistently as the storm has almost consumed us.  Jesus in His compassion and mercy came (the Indian Chief) and will carry me/you to a place of refuge, a place of healing, a place of restoration.  And when that time comes, you will celebrate and dance and rejoice of His goodness.  The tests that will soon bring testimonies will be heard and known around the world and will encourage many to come or return to the Lord.  The harvest fields are ripe!!

I've been praying a new way over the past few weeks - praying God "reveal to heal".   Whatever needs to be brought into the light, to expose the darkness, to expose the works of the enemy, reveal it so that healing can come.  As I prayed this for me personally with the health issues I have, I felt the Lord also brought that forth to pray for our country.  There is so much darkness being exposed.  God allows that to be exposed so that restoration and redemption can come.   The same is true for our different circumstances.  God's answers are always healing and redemptive.  When He brings things to light is so we can have the wisdom to know how to pray and overcome.   We need to be on our faces praying for God's healing touch on our land!!!! 

What God has "finally" revealed to me, why I am going through so much pain in my body and sleepless nights is because of "word curses" "verbal attacks".   The stress of those coming at me has taken a toll.  Part of the word curses were from myself.  And some from others in whom He is revealing.  I have dealt with a spirit

of self hatred for a very long time.  It came from situations in my childhood and adult life where I was "blamed" for atrocities against me by another person.  It was reinforced over the years and so it became a rut/an unhealthy thought pattern.   Recently the Lord showed me that self hatred has turned into self abandonment.   What that has meant is that I have unintentionally chosen to abandon myself, my voice, my safety and have turned inwards into more word curses.  I have repeatedly said to the Lord if you don't heal me than take me.  If you don't do something about this Lord, then what's the point of living.    Now, I know quite a few people have shared these very words with me about their circumstances, so I don't put fault or condemnation on myself or others.  When you are at the end of your rope, you become desperate for answers, desperate for reprieve and when the answers don't come, hopelessness goes deeper and deeper into your spirit.  It's a vicious cycle. 

So recently I was talking with a friend and sharing with her that I am beyond weary of the pain, the torment, panic attacks and sleepless nights.  I was in a despair cycle and honestly looking for a way out.   No I'm not suicidal, but I have been on that slippery slope.  Thankfully I have beautiful friends and the Lord who loves me and talks me off of those cliffs.    One thing this friend said to me -  "I don't blame you. But please hang on as long as you can!  I know how strong in the Lord and the power of His might you are!  You have been such a great example to me of perseverance and enduring faith that does not quit!"   Another friend said this to me - " Your endurance is contagious and your perseverance is inspiring to me".    When I hear something two or more times, I often feel it's God.   I feel the Lord is speaking to me/to you possibly - don't give up.  He is with us and He will bring us through into victory. 

But he who endures to the end will be saved. Matthew 24:13 

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow."  Mary Anne Radmacher

As long as we wake up and have breath, the Lord can still use us despite the circumstances we face.    

If you are going through some intense circumstances, I want to pray for you.  Please email me or call me anytime!!   We need each other!   The Bible is clear that we are to praying for "saints" everywhere at all times.  It's your prayers that have kept me in the game.   

Praise Reports - 

Ken has been working for a professional painting company here.  It is much physical labor - lots of different types log homes, indoor/outdoor, even labs wearing a respirator and high security. 

Me - I've got a part time job - working from home - for an insurance agent in KC.   Thankful - challenging to learn new software - but comfortable with the rest of it.  

Montana - Loving Montana!! Love the people, love our new church, love the town.  Love the views.  We are HOME!!!  Lots of divine connections happening and some potential steps for destiny.... 

Prayer Requests - 

Ken - stamina.  He works in the heat - yes it's hot here 90+ degrees- and we have no air conditioning....  the nights are cool in the 50's.   

Me - Healing to manifest!! Sleep to manifest!!  It is taking a huge toll on me in every way.  Please pray for continued endurance until healing comes. 

Car - we desperately need another SUV - which might end up replacing one we have soon.. ours is leaking more and more oil, no heat or defrost - will need by winter (that can be any time now) and now has an odd noise when steering.  ugh! 

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.  

Endurance

Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.  James 1:4 NIV

And let endurance have its perfect [b]result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:4 NASB

What a season we are in!! Are you feeling it too? 

The movie Overcomer just came into our area. God knows what you need when you need it!   It was such an excellent movie about perseverance and endurance and focusing on the prize set before us!   I won't spoil the movie in case you haven't seen it - but I will say that there is one part of the movie that almost verbatim was what God has been speaking to me in my quiet time.   I may have to watch it a few 1000 more times until this season of endurance is over!!!  (Please let that be today)  LOL! 

Switch gears a bit....

The other day I was praying for a friend and I got a vision.  

I felt led to invite angelic hosts to intercede and do battle. I saw a battle above your place going on ...and so I asked God to bring the heavy hitters, the angels who can destroy the works of darkness. I see swords clashing but I see a brilliant light on the other side of the battle field. That's the side the angels are heading towards taking ground. There are many casualties on the evil side. I see the banner Victory Line.

Just a few minutes after I shared this vision with my friend, another post came in view that confirmed my vision. It was so reassuring....here's the article here - https://wandaalger.me/2019/09/09/the-angelic-host-are-awaiting-our-instructions/?fbclid=IwAR2fxMD7iuKXBzawf7ifP8a0vmJl_SC_eWm_8Av4FP977UhlnsS5fQaN6wY

For those that know me, know my brain works like a connect the dot board.  I pick up easily on themes and patterns and it's reassuring to know that God is speaking to others similarly to what He's speaking to me.  So many of us are going through an incredibly difficult and long season - waiting on God for a promise or two or three.   It's comforting to know that others are in the battle with you.  I am so thankful for those who are praying for me/us continually - and for those who check in with me regularly.   Honestly, I don't know what I would do without you all!   So thankful for the Body of Christ! 

I wanted to share this post from one that Lana Vawser in Australia wrote.  It does a great job of explaining where many of us are at.....   Here's the link as well. https://lanavawser.com/2019/09/03/i-heard-the-lord-say-i-am-establishing-you-in-endurance/

I HEARD THE LORD SAY “I AM ESTABLISHING YOU IN ENDURANCE”

For the last few months the Lord has been speaking to me a lot about endurance. That there is a deep work of His Spirit taking place right now to raise up a people of ENDURANCE.

ENDURANCE DEFINITION:

1. the ability to endure an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way.

2. the capacity of something to last or to withstand wear and tear.

SYNONYMS: continuance, continuity, continuation, lasting power, durability, permanence, longevity; constancy, stability, changelessness, immutability; rare, lastingness, everlastingness, bearing, tolerance, sufferance, fortitude, forbearance, patience, acceptance, resignation, resolution, determination;

(Definition taken from Google)

As I sat with the Lord recently speaking with Him regarding a battle that I was in and I was feeling weary, what the Holy Spirit spoke to me surprised me. He said to me “Lana, I am giving you a gift”. Immediately I was excited. “Awesome! Thank you Jesus! What is the gift?” His next word surprised me. He said “ENDURANCE”.

I expected Him to say “BREAKTHROUGH!!!” or something that would indicate the end of the battle immediately. Now, had He promised me breakthrough in my battle in the circumstances I was facing, ABSOLUTELY, but what happened in that moment? I was taken to a place where I realised not only was the Lord going to fulfil His promise to me and I was going to seize the land He had promised me, but in the midst of my battle, in the midst of my wrestle, in the midst of the testing of my faith, in the midst of the pressing and the hardship, God was not only going to remain faithful to His Word, but my loving Father was doing something BIGGER than I expected. In the midst of the battle, God was doing something so much bigger than I could ever imagine. He was teaching me to ENDURE and strengthen Me to “go the distance” and move forward in longevity. To run empowered by the Spirit into all that He has for me and my destiny stronger than ever and without hindrance.

Since that encounter with the Lord, the word ENDURANCE is burning in me. The Lord spoke to me that this is a corporate decree and banner over the body of Christ right now, that He is building a people of ENDURANCE. He is teaching the body of Christ what it means to ENDURE.

The Lord is burning strongly on my heart that we NEED this work of His Spirit in endurance in our hearts and lives right now in order to CARRY what He is releasing in this new era.

In this new era God is removing HIGHLIGHTING and DEALING with anything that would hinder His people from living in strong endurance. He’s delivering His people from the fear of man, He is bringing His people higher into the revelation of living from your seat (Ephesians 2:6), He is healing the heart, He is aligning the heart, there is a testing of faith that’s taken place, He is establishing His people deeper in the Word of God, He is dealing with compromise and awakening the Church, He is going to restore the fear of God to the Church, He is sounding the alarm for CONSECRATION AND HOLINESS, plus SO much more.

The Lord has been showing me in so many ways, in order for us to partner with Him and His Spirit in what He is going to do in the earth in this new era, it is going to require a people that are established in endurance in Him. It is going to require a mature Church that is founded and grounded in the Word and established in discernment and the ways of God. It’s going to require a people who are living by every word from His mouth (Matthew 4:4) and are sensitive to His ways and know what it is to live in the place of strength and endurance, DESPITE what is going on around them in the natural.

Living in the place of deep endurance comes not from anything in the natural but from relationship with Him and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Friends, I want to encourage you, your battle has not been for nothing. The Lord is going to be faithful to His Word to you. He is going to make things right. He is going to demonstrate Himself as healer like you’ve never seen. He is going to reintroduce you to His power and the earth is going to be reintroduced to His power like never before.

The Lord is not only giving you gifts of joy and breakthrough in this new era, but He is also giving you a gift in the midst of your battle. ENDURANCE! As you walk this battle WITH Jesus and allowing Him to do His work within you, He is teaching you what it means to ENDURE. He is preparing you for the future. He is training you to walk by faith. I am not saying the circumstances of evil, sickness, disease, pain, trauma are authored by Him, that is NOT what I am saying. What I am saying is IN the fire He is teaching you to ENDURE with Him by faith and to OVERCOME. Many new ministries, new assignments and anointings are being released in the fire right now where the Lord is establishing endurance.

I prophesy to you that as you come out of these battles, as you come out of the fire, you are coming out with ENDURING FAITH. You are coming out with STAYING POWER! You are coming out TRANSFORMED and FORTIFIED by His hand and the power of His Word outworking in your life. You will KNOW that it is the hand of God and the energising POWER of His Spirit because of the level of weariness you have experienced and experience, you continue to push through, you continue to fight, you continue to believe, you fall down and get back up again. That’s not your efforts, that’s Him! “Somehow” you get the strength to fight again, that’s the Holy Spirit. As much as hope deferred screams, disappointment hangs heavy there’s still something within you that gives you a little strength to ‘keep hanging in there’ – that’s JESUS! Even in the moments where you have said “I GIVE UP”, there’s something in you causing a ‘restlessness’ that says “keep hanging in there!!”, yet causes your soul to SCREAM “I want to give up”.

In those places, God is whispering “I am teaching you to live by MY SPIRIT and not your soul. To live by your soul will cause you to fall, to live by My Spirit will cause you to ENDURE.”

There is a divine rearranging taking place that in these battles the Lord is teaching His people to live by the Spirit and not led by the soul.

Out of His love, God is training, healing, building and establishing the Church in endurance like we have never seen because in this new era there will be many times where the Church will need the STAYING POWER OF FAITH and the heart of endurance that speaks, charges forward and remains even when all of hell tries to stop it in the earth. The enduring power that Jesus demonstrated at the Cross is being released into His people NOW for the sake of the glorious GOOD NEWS of the Gospel going forth. An army of light arising in this hour of Isaiah 60 unapologetic, unashamed and unshakeable declaring Jesus as the way, the truth and the life and being immovable by the impossibilities that shout.

We are entering into a time of the greatest demonstrations of His power in the earth and seeing His Glory manifest as a Church arises with great endurance and conviction living and governing from the heavenly places and seeing it manifest on the earth. The Church that endures and walks by faith like never before that will see the most glorious signs, wonders and miracles in the face of giants, opposition or darkness. His light and Glory will shine brighter.

The overcomers are truly being birthed!

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; giving thanks[a] to the Father, who has qualified you[b] to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.” (Colossians 1:9-12 ESV)

“My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can! 3 For you know that when your faith is tested[a] it stirs up power within you to endure all things. 4 And then as your endurance grows even stronger it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking.” (James 1:2-4 TPT)   END

Here's what I have been meditating on - I pray it encourages and strengthens you!! 

And the God of peace will swiftly POUND Satan to a pulp under your feet! And the wonderful favor of our Lord Jesus will surround you.  Romans 16:20TPT 

Please continue to pray for God's healing touch on my body - sleep, pain & just complete healing!!   
Please pray for Ken's shoulder and wrist - some pain - seems to be aggravated by work - lots of heavy lifting.
Please continue to pray for God's provision.  
Please continue to pray for God's perfect timing on destiny. 
And if you have any prayer requests, please email me.

Faith vs Fear? Take the Kingdom by Force!

Faith vs Fear!  Do you believe God is bigger than anything you are going through?

John 10:10   -    The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy......  (fear)
I came that they have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).   (FAITH)

This past week has been a roller coaster ride.  Two weeks ago, I went to the doctor for my routine follow up regarding my adrenals, etc.  I was anxious to hear what the results of my lab work because I have been noticing some improvement in my endurance and have been able to read somewhat consistently again without having the brain fog crash in on me.  That's a huge praise God!   The lab results did not come out as I had expected.  Not only did they say my cortisol levels were critically low, they wanted to run some further testing.  They immediately put me back on steroids and other supplementation.

Ken and I had a retreat planned at Morning Star in Fort Mill, SC last week.  We felt the Lord wanted us there not only to support Joni Ames being ordained there, but because He had some divine connections and direction for us.  That all was true.  Upon returning, the physical toll the trip took on my body knocked me out literally for 2 1/2 days.  I cannot begin to describe the utter exhaustion and complete sense of physical hopelessness I experienced.  I literally felt all energies drain from my body and knew that if I didn't get rest, I would collapse.   The emotional turmoil I was battling for these 2 1/2 days was unbelievable and probably did the adrenals even more harm.   The enemy was barraging me with thoughts to give up on God and to give into fear of what might happen?

Yesterday I had another trip planned to the doctor to get follow up results from the second set of tests that I had done just before we left town.  In my quiet time before the appointment, this is what the Lord shared with me:

- Amos 5 - Seek the Lord that you may live.....
- Psalm 72:12 - For He will deliver the needy when he (she) cries for help....
- Psalm 72:14 - He will rescue their life from oppression.....
- Psalm 73:26 - My flesh and my heart may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion
                         forever...
- Psalm 73:28 - But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God and
                         made Him my refuge, that I may tell of His works.

I had no idea before the appointment that I would have to stand on these verses more than ever!
My test results validated that I now have been diagnosed with Addison's Disease.  This is a disease that can be life threatening if faced with any physical or emotional trauma or stress.  Not only did I get this smacked in my face, they have found a spot on my gallbladder, increased liver size (due to medications I take for migraines), my kidney has shrunk a sizeable amount since a test a year and a half ago and my immune system is highly compromised.  So the doctor has since ordered more tests.  What seems to be happening is a domino effect.  The enemy is pulling out his last ditch efforts to take us out and keep us from walking in our destiny - because us going back to Peru is/was supposed to happen within the next 30 days.

Today, the Lord spoke to me and said:

- 2 Corinthians 2:14 but thanks be to GOD who ALWAYS leads us in triumph in Christ.

From Devotional - When the Lord challenges you to do something that you feel is beyond your abilities  you have two options:
 1.  focus on Christ and proceed in triumph
 2.  focus on self and withdraw in defeat.

- Isaiah 55:3 - Incline your ear and come to Me.  Listen that you may live and I will make an
                       everlasting covenant with you.
- Seek My Face and you will find fulfillment of your deepest longings.

Whatever you are going through right now whether it's financial worries, medical issues, relational challenges - faith in Jesus Christ is our only hope.  He alone can give you what you need.  He is the source of life.  The only way to defeat the enemy is through the spoken Word of God, the belt of TRUTH!  The enemy wants to take God's people out so the Kingdom of God cannot advance!

Matthew 11:12 says

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. (emphasis mine).

I'm speaking this to me more than to you reading this.  Our thoughts and words must align with His Word!  We don't know the outcome, only God does!  He is the Alpha and Omega.  We must contend for the desired outcome we want and not give up the good fight of faith.  We must trust that whatever we are going through, God has a divine purpose in it.  This is much harder to do than it is to say...I know, I am experiencing it first hand.  That is why we must have the body of Christ - other believers around us to hold our arms up, pray for us and contend with us!  I've been saying to God, I cannot continue to ask for prayer.. I am wearing people out and He says, that's pride.  We are to humble ourselves and let others come around us and walk us through our difficulties.  Together, we can get through it and alone we lose.

My in laws sent a card to me this week - a prayer from St Padre Pio (for those of you who are Catholic).  It really warmed my heart and I pray it will yours too.  Whether you have need for healing or something else, pray this prayer over yourself or someone you know in need.

Merciful God, restore me to health.  Help me to know the great compassion You offered to everyone who came to You in sorrow or need.  

When I am heavy burdened, give me strength.  

When I am wearied by life's difficulties, uplift and renew me.

when I am ill or troubled, lead me to rest secure in Your infinite goodness.

Hear now my humble prayers for complete health of mind, body and spirit.

Send Your Holy Angels to watch over me, to protect me from all danger, and to keep me safe from any injury or harm.

O Divine Healer, by Your grace, free me from useless anxiety, and grant me a sense of serenity and well-being in this time of uncertainity.  

Help me Lord, to trust in You completely, and to experience in my life Your miracles of healing, hope and peace.  I pray You will be my comfort and strength and my joy, now and for all eternity.  Amen! 

 BELIEVE - GOD IS FAITHFUL - GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU!

Ken and I love to pray for folks who need a touch from the Lord - with words of encouragement, words of knowledge and a healing touch.  If you are someone in need, please let us know.  We also have a passion to activate and influence believers to walk in radical obedience to a fun and wonderful God!  There is just nothing like it!

If you are interested in Ken and I coming to minister to you, your small group or church, please give us a call.  We would be delighted to!

God Bless YOU -
