Prayer & Fasting



So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with Him in prayer and petition, in fasting.  Daniel 9:3 


Most of you know what prayer and fasting is, so I won't go into much detail here..... but just a few main points.  

Prayer and fasting were demonstrated in the Scriptures during times of mourning, repentance and when there was a deep need.  (Daniel 9:3, Esther 4:16, 2 Samuel 12:16)  

Prayer and fasting brought breakthrough or deliverance.  (Mark 6;7, Mark 9:29) 

Prayer and fasting is also a weapon of warfare - to bring resolve.  (Ephesians 6:18)




Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way;
say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.” 

Isaiah 35:3 





As you know we've been in a long long wilderness, pit and prison season!  We have been obedient to do all God has asked of us.  Since the early days of our salvation, the Lord had us give away ALL we had in the way of assets.  We cashed in stocks, 401k's, to give everything away.   Then He asked us to step out of full time - excellent paying jobs, to heed the call to start a home church.  After 5 years of that, God moved us to a small town in the middle of nowhere.  The only job God provided was for Ken to work part time at a discount retail store making minimum wage.  Obviously not enough to even cover our rent....but God has been faithful in making up the difference.  He is our provider!! 

God told us last year to give away most of all our furnishings.  We had a semi-truck and a 14' UHaul move us here and besides the stuff we use daily which also will be given away when we go, we have very little we will keep.  We have given out of our lack and have blessed 100's of people with meals, hospitality and prayer ministry.  It's been extremely difficult to say the least.  Not the blessing of others, but the plowing of the ground, the wondering how we would pay this bill or that, praying through some serious health symptoms trusting God would keep His promises of sustaining my health and eventually bring full healing.  It's hard and lonely on this journey.  The good news is we have learned so much, grown in our faith and ability to do spiritual battle.  Our trust and confidence in God is so much stronger!!!  

God gave us a God size vision - one that we cannot do without Him and His provision.  We did not seek this vision, but God has placed a desire in our hearts to partner with Him - to build a retreat property with numerous cabins;  to have a community building and to have prayer and healing rooms.   We want to invite pastors, lay leaders and missionaries to come and have a place to be refreshed, encouraged and ministered to and with a completely upside down model.  This means that we will ask for a "suggested donation" and if the need is there, we will offer it free of charge.   We want to be a refuge,  a place of safety, compassion and care.    We are also called to come alongside the Church to equip the saints for the work of ministry.  To teach, activate and send out to reach the lost, the hurting and the unsaved.  God has been training us our entire lives for this calling.  

We are wanting to step into the fullness of it now!  We believe God has told us it's due season.  We have done all we know to do.  We have done as much due diligence to be as prepared as possible.  Now it's time for God to do His miraculous part!  We have sought the Lord daily asking is there is anything hindering us besides the obvious provision.  We are not hearing a thing or sensing anything.  We have had others who are praying say the same.  They too don't understand why this hasn't happened yet.  Some suggest warfare.  There have so many God confirmations surrounding this vision and even the release to go, but yet........God's work needs funded!  It's time that the WEALTH TRANSFER begins so that us and others can step into what God has for them.  It amazes me how many people are in our same shoes........waiting on provision to move into destiny.  My opinion is also that of warfare.  The enemy is doing all he can to thwart or delay so we give up.  But God!!! 

Today a friend sent me this.  


Does this bear witness to your spirit?
In my prayer time with the Lord this morning as I asked HIM how to pray (I felt it was over the body of Christ) I heard the word "turbulence" so in Jesus name I declare, order, peace, harmony, and stability in Christ...
I also heard, "we are in the final hours!" ...with the Lord one day is like 1000 years and 1000 years like one day.
I also heard, "things are about to bust open I need you to pray like never before!"
Prayerfully discern this…as I’m doing the same. Could quite possibly our calendars be off???
It has been said (by scholars) that Pentecost is actually on June 21 and that’s exactly 9 months (time to birth?!!) from September 21 sign in the heavens.
As I process with you I find it interesting that I heard~~things are about to "bust open"
Like a woman in labor when her water breaks~~ oh it's busts open alright!

Then another friend sent me this verse unaware of the other....  She has never ever sent me anything in the past...

When I read this verse you came to mind. I hope it means something to you. 
"Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the Lord. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God. Isaiah 66:9

See a pattern??? 

                                                WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!  

We would like to ask a HUGE favor of you!  Would you please please consider fasting and praying for us this Thursday, 6/14.  I will highlight a few specific prayer points but also pray as the Lord leads.  And if you would hear anything or get any impressions, please let us know. 

1.  Please pray that IF there is anything or anyone hindering this shift into destiny, that it would be removed swiftly.  
2.  Please pray for the open doors and the financial breakthrough needed to step into destiny.  
3.  Please pray for GRACE over us, STRENGTH, COURAGE & WISDOM for us in the days ahead.   
4.  Please pray for the FAVOR of the LORD to be upon us! 
5.  Please pray for Jehovah Rapha - the God who Heals to come and touch our bodies (especially mine) so that we can do all HE is calling us to do! 
6.  Please pray the Lord's will be done!   

Would you please email me at michele@wantinsight.com and let me know if you are able to pray and fast.  Thank you.  


The other day I was beginning to form words in prayer to God and before I could even say them, the Lord spoke to me and said.  "I am coming like flint".   "I am determined to help you".  This verse came to mind.....

Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
    I will not be disgraced.

Therefore have I set my face like flint,

    and I know I will not be put to shame. Isaiah 50:7


Thank YOU so much for your ongoing support, prayers, love and care for us and our ministry.  We are honored to be able to pray for those who reach out to us.  Please let me know if you have any prayer needs.   For those who have been reaching out, thank you!  I am praying for your requests.

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.

Three Simple Words That Can Transform Your Life!

3 simple words that can transform your life! 


Do you deal with chronic pain or health issues?  Do you have a marriage or a relationship that challenges your spiritual walk?  Maybe you have been in bondage to debt and never seem to be able to keep your head above water?  Or maybe it's been a little of all of these.  


How often have you read a Scripture verse over and over or heard it spoken to you, yet it seems lifeless...it doesn't seem to have any meaning to you?  Have you ever wondered why others use that same verse and can stand on the promise God speaks through it?  I've often asked that question.  The Word says it's living and active so why not every time we read it, does it not comfort us?


What I have learned over the years is that it's when you need it most, that is when the Holy Spirit breathes on a particular verse and it comes to life in your heart and begins to permeate every fiber of your being.  That's when it brings the hope of promise and can transform your life.


I don't know about you but I can tell you my life has been nothing but challenging in just about every way.  I've experienced physical, emotional, sexual abuse and even spiritual abuse.  I've dealt with multiple chronic illnesses and chronic pain for 27+ years.  Through these circumstances, I learned at a very early age that it is almost impossible to trust anyone.  I have formed judgements about people, mostly myself and have come to expect that good won't come to me.  I believed that I must of done something to deserve all this. I turned all these bad things inward and blamed myself.  But the worst thing is, is that my heart became hardened to receive God's love and the love of others.  


For years, I have been walking with the Lord and meditating on His Word - "trying" to renew my mind but yet my heart wouldn't believe.  I kept praying, repenting and seeking God.  I prayed often, I believe, but help me with my unbelief.  


Have you heard the song by Jesus Culture - Your Love Never Fails - You can listen to it by clicking this link.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_2qG22SPwU but hit your back browser once done to return here.  In the bridge part of the song it says - "You make all things work together for my good".   This little jingle has been constant in my head.  


The Lord has had me meditate on Romans 8:28-39.  I've been reading the Amplified version:  (emphasis mine in bold).  These are verses I have read a million times (well, maybe not that many) but up until now, they had no life.  


We are assured and know that [[a]God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was [b]aware and[c]loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.
30 And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].
31 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]
32 He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely andgraciously give us all [other] things?
33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]
34 Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?
35 Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?
36 Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things[e]impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,
39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

I asked the Lord many times why can't I truly receive your love? Why can't I believe You have good for me?  What do I have to do in order to get my healing?  Is there something I am missing?  And He said - My timing, for My Glory! 


This is the Scripture He gave me John 9:3......
Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.

The Lord has been coming to me in visions and dreams answering my prayers and the cry of my heart.  Healing is coming to my heart....and I believe my physical body as well! 

Ezekial 36:26 
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Praise the name of Jesus Christ!   


Three Simple Words That Can Transform Your Life! 


If you are going through something and have gone as far as you know how to go, continue to 
1. stand,
2. hope and trust God for His perfect timing.  He is for you.  Persevere in prayer and
3. believe that one day soon, the Truth will set you free!  And remember,  we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.  (Rom 8:28)  




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 -
