My Two Cents..... America!

 Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

Quote by John Wimber 

As I just blogged on America needing to repent and turn from their wicked ways....  there's more to it.  Progressive revelation I suppose.    

Over the weekend and through the election results, I have had a pit in my stomach.  Upset, gurgly (I know TMI) but I feel it was prophetic in nature.   Sure, it could have been a stomach bug or maybe I ate something, but in hindsight I feel the Lord was showing me something.    

For some months now, I have had a gnawing feeling.  It didn't really matter who was going to be elected, because either way it wasn't going to be good.   If Kamala was elected, we would see this country spiral at an even more accelerated rate into socialism and marxism.  Hyper inflation.  More and more people falling into poverty and homelessness.   Food shortages and eventually a control of the entire system.   

We are seeing "credit scoring" in other countries already.   If you don't do things exactly like the government expects, your score goes down and you don't quality for food this week or gas in your car.   America is heading speedily towards this.  

If Trump was elected and he has been now, I felt that the demonic would be unleashed on us in greater measure than we've ever seen.   It's already clear the evil agenda the other party has perpetuated on us.  LTBTQxyz or whatever those other letters are has become so in your face it's unbelievable.  Abortion activitist and its evil agenda is clear.   They have no regard for babies!   The devil is being celebrated by an alarming number of Americans!   You can't miss it.  So only imagine how dark and how evil it could  get now. 

The Democrats are not going to go down without a fight.   Trump is the lesser of two evils for sure.... but is he?  That's the gnawing question I've had for sometime now.  Is he really for America?  Is he part of the "plan".   He demonstrated in 2017-2021 that he had good motives in many ways.  He did more for America than any other president that I know of.  Was he trying to earn the American people's trust?   Is he legit?  Well, only the Lord knows for sure!  I want to believe the good, but as I've said there's been a pit in my stomach for a long while.  

I don't say I have all the answer by any means, but my "gut" the gift of discerning of spirits has been a gift God has been increasing in my life.  I have an innate knowing of what "might" be coming.   Many have been given this gift and it's uncanny the parallels we are all sensing.  

I was given this article recently and it's confirmed a lot of my concerns.   I encourage you to read it.  It was written pre-election, but it still relevant to what may be happening in America, sooner than we thought.   https://winepressnews.com/2024/11/05/fear-ye-not-me-saith-the-lord-americans-hysterical-over-election-outcome-but-have-no-fear-of-god-blackrock-says-it-doesnt-matter/

America deserves judgement.  And now that CI-128 was passed, the Lord is not going to turn a blind eye to that fact.  He does not bless sin!  He will not turn a blind eye to the "shedding of innocent blood".  He will not turn away from all the evil that we are seeing.    As I said in a previous blog, we, each one of us MUST turn from our sin and our wicked ways.  That is the only way He will heal our land.   We must fear the Lord and get back to the roots of what this country was founded on.  Biblical principles   A Biblical Worldview is VITAL.   It totally shocks me how so called Christians think it's ok to vote for abortion rights and think they can show up Sunday and call it good.  NO!!!!!!!!    

I'm not trying to be a doomsday conspiracy theorist....  I am just sharing from my heart.  There has been years of intercession crying out for God's people (including me) to have eyes to see and ears to hear.  I hear the babies crying (in the spirit).  I see Jesus weeping in my dreams.   How did we get this far away from the Lord.   We've become so comfortable in the pleasures of this world.  This is called the status-quo Church in the book of Revelation!   

I'm active in quite a few "prepper" groups on social media, primarily because the Lord told me to prepare His people for famine back in 2010 and since.   That's how I got started with michelecole.thrivelife.com offering long term food storage!   The point I want to make is that 100's of 1000's of people are in these groups - mostly non believers and it amazes me how many are preparing for end times, the apocalypse or the end of the world. Some are extreme!    I find it interesting that a new movie is coming out in December called Homestead!  Check it out here - https://www.angel.com/movies/homestead    I don't believe in coincidences.  The Lord is preparing those with eyes to see and ears to hear.   If you've read the article above - you will see that even he says that those with sin in their lives and are getting it out will be safe.  But for those that continue living in the world and like the world, their lives may come crashing down soon!   

Time is short.  What will you do? 

Thank you for your continued prayers for us!  We do appreciate it!  Luke 6:38 

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.  

 

Enough is Enough

We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God  Acts 15:22b

Have you been experiencing an unbelievable amount of trials recently?  

Are you feeling the heaviness of the load?  

Is your cross becoming overwhelmingly daunting to carry?

Can you take one more disappointment? 

Have you found yourself saying “enough is enough”? 

idioms.TheFreeDictionary.com defines Enough is Enough  

1.  This situation needs to stop

2.  That is enough, and there should be no more.; Stop! 

3.  People say enough is enough when they think that something, usually something bad, should stop.

4.  No more will be tolerated.

Last night we received an email - and to say the least it was a door slamming shut.  It brought discouragement, hopelessness, confusion, doubt and much second guessing ourselves.  

This morning in my quiet time, I found myself grieving, weeping, and crying out to God, enough is enough. I told the Lord I don’t know how much more disappointment I can take.  After several minutes of this, I found myself travailing for many others who are in this similar place.  I was naming them one by one and saying Lord - enough is enough!  

I’ve shared this before - but years ago when I was at my worst - I was in my bed, lethargic and near death, unknowingly.  I was crying out to the Lord and before my eyes, I saw Jesus kneeling at my bedside.  He had his hands folded in prayer and was weeping.  He looked up to heaven and said Father, enough is enough.   I was sure at the moment, I would be healed. I wasn’t.  I was devastated.  Why would Jesus cry out to the Father and they are one - and not honor that prayer?  Why would the Lord allow me to continue in health issues?  

Why is it that a significant number of Christians are finding themselves under incredible intense pressure and circumstances?  Why is it that one thing after another continues to “attack” a good number of the Body of Christ?  Health - sickness, chronic pain, chronic insomnia, lack of finances, the inability to find work, family issues, things breaking down or wearing out, strife, divorce, death,  These are just a few of the long list of “trials” a bunch of our friends and acquaintances are going through.  Many are “all of the above”.   It’s unbearable!!!   

Why does one experience so much hardship?  Here are just a couple of reasons that come to my mind.  

1. The enemy is doing everything in his power to turn us against our beliefs and even try to turn us away from God. If he can be successful in either of these, we become useless to the Kingdom of God.  That is Satan’s plan!! End of story. 

2. The Lord may be allowing our circumstances to shape us and grow us into a mighty army, a fortress and also ultimately the pure spotless Bride of Christ.  Our sufferings are for the good of the Church and the glory of God if we look at from an eternal perspective. 

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

If our eyes are fixed on Jesus we can rise above our circumstances and persevere. 

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.  And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5

This evening, I saw this by Matt Gonzales on Facebook and it strikes a chord.

”One of the marks of our maturity as sons and daughters of God is not how much scripture we can quote, how many miracles we have seen come to pass, or how well we can prophesy, but rather how much pressure or resistance can we be under before we abandon our core beliefs and convictions?”

Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.  Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. 2 Corinthians 4:1-2

I believe the only thing we can do is keep our hope in Jesus and draw near to Him.  He is beckoning us into a deeper intimacy and relationship.  He is preparing us through the fires of affliction.  

Are you willing to carry the cross He has chosen for you?  

Will you stay committed to the Lord despite the intense pressure?

Ask the Lord for extra grace and mercy so that you can endure to the end!  

Quitting is not an option!  (Though it is often a temptation) 

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

A friend wrote this poem for Ken & I in June last year.... continues to be applicable.....still waiting, still weary...but wanted to share with you..... 

I love you dearly
For your hearts I see
I know the roads been weary

Just hang on to me.

Michele and Ken this message
It is heartfelt, that is true
Just keep looking upward
For my promises are true

The wait is nearly over
Your journeys to begin
Those dreams held deep inside you
It was I who put them in.

Just hold on a little more
The wait is nearly through
The three of us hand held in hand
Are walking out the door

This new life is a starting
With smiles upon your face
I see the mountains straight ahead
Go! Help my human race

Prayer Requests - 

Ken - find additional work - peace while finding peter to juggle peter to pay paul - LOL  

Michele - sleep, healing - peace and continuous reminder that God is faithful

Ministry - we are seeing some amazing fruit from our work here - continued connections to minister to.  

Also - Tuesday there are about a dozen of us getting on a video conference call to pray for us - for our ministry - for breakthrough - and whatever the Lord leads.  Would you also if you're available around 630pm = please be in prayer.  Thank YOU!  

Blessings,

Yes Indeed, It Won't Be Long Now!

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions. Joel 2:28

Do you dream?  Do you remember them?  Do you understand their meanings?  Most often dreams are symbolic in nature.  They carry a weightier meaning than what you saw.  What about a vision?  Visions can be both with your eyes open or closed.  These typically are more literal.  What you see is what God is actually wanting you to hear.  

Dream 

Noun 

1. a series of thoughts, images, sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep.

Vision

Noun

1. an experience of seeing someone or something in a dream or trance or as a supernatural apparition.

    a.  a vivid mental image, especially a fanciful one of the future.

Verb

1. imagine.

Do you believe God can speak to you through a vision or a dream?  The Bible, shows that God spoke to people often through a vision or in dreams.  

the message of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open: Numbers 24:4

Here's a link that lists quite a few verses talking about dreams & vision - https://www.gotquestions.org/dreams-visions-Bible.html

Last blog I wrote about a vision/dream that I had and one that Ken had.  What I didn't share with you was that we are both experiencing such an influx of dreams and visions over the past few weeks.  The few hours I get a night are filled with very detailed dreams.  Ken is often having several dreams in one night.  We seek the Lord for insight into each dream/vision and then also submit to a few people we know and trust that have history of accuracy in dream interpretation.  These dreams have been coming fast & furious!  

When Ken & I started dating in 1984 there was a pinball machine called Eight Ball Deluxe. We used to play it together not in competition but together playing the same game. I used to play the left flipper and Ken played the right. It was a true sense of teamwork. 

Interesting that as the years together (now 33) our marriage and how God speaks to us is quite similar. I will often hear something and at the same time he will get a picture or vice versa. Over the past several years more & more prophetic words have been spoken over us about being a dynamic duo, powerhouse together, mighty ministry couple etc. We recently had a word that together we would walk in the office of a prophet. (Thats up to God and we are not striving for or need a title-but we do love being used by God to minister healing & encouraging words) It's kind of fun to get these but even moreso knowing that is how the Lord speaks to us and through us. 

Revelation & confirmations are happening so fast we can barely keep up. We are DEFINITELY in a season of Amos 9:13-15. This is a verse the Lord first gave to me last year to encourage me of things to come.....and has since repeated it to me multiple times (and many other prophetic voices) this year. 

So what's this have to do with Eight Ball Deluxe and a pinball machine. On the game you have to be paying attention...when you hit the ball with the flipper you aim to be precise, the ball bounces back & forth side to side. It's a game of strategy and positioning the ball just right. Kind of like being in the right place at the right time. So, I believe God is releasing strategies through Dreams & Visions so that we are where he wants us to be figuratively and literally for this next move of God. 

One more thing..... the Eight Ball Deluxe Machine has a saying it speaks out while you play "Stop talking & start chalking) meaning quit talking and take action. Or in baseball, they say let's play ball, in racing start your engines. 

I don't want God to stop talking however I do want to see ALL He has promised manifest soon!

These verses also speak to me the PROMISES He has spoken will come to pass.  It also speaks of our waiting season.  We wait and wait and wait and wait and wait.......... and then SUDDENLY God does the MIRACLE you've been contending sooooooo long for!  We've been in a wilderness season almost since our inception of becoming a believer in 2002.  He has been preparing us, grooming us, purging the old to prepare for the new!  The Lord willing, we feel we are ready to step into "destiny." 

The shift has happened, things are beginning to pick up momentum!!

 “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree.

“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:

"They'll rebuild their ruined cities.

They'll plant vineyards and drink good wine.

They'll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.

And I'll plan then, plant them on their own land.

They'll never again be uprooted from the land I've given them." God, your God says so.  Amos 9:13-15 The Message 

(P.S.)  If you are waiting on God for something... I believe this verse is a rhema word for you!  Grab hold of it = contend for it!  It's yours! 

Rabbit trail, but bear with me...

There is a friend we met a couple of years ago.  He moved from KC to Eldo and lived here about a year.  We connected with him and instantly bonded both as a friend but also as someone we thought God may be connecting to us and our ministry.  We often prayed with each other, for each other & for Eldo and surrounding communities.  Our prayer times were powerful and filled with fresh revelation, power and breakthrough.  We saw answers to our prayers quite often.  Well, he moved back to KC and our relationship was still there, but obviously limited.  In January, he sent me a text with  something that really began a ball rolling in a direction we never imagined.  But, the funny thing is, that was the LAST communication we had for 6 months.  It was like he vanished off the radar.  In those 6 months, God has been speaking to us very specific things, so many things, that I had to create a folder in my laptop trying to keep everything somewhat organized.  (I could write a book with all of it). 

In June, I sensed the Lord prompting me to reach out to him again, so I did.  He responded....as if there was no separation at all.  Without revealing too much, we believe God kept us apart so He could speak to each of us separately.  What we didn't know during that time, was that God was speaking identical things to each of us.  When we reconnected, wow, things that we heard for the past 6 months, he was hearing exactly the same thing.  Every day now we connect.  It's almost creepy (in a good way), but I can message him something and he will be looking at the very same thing.  Or we've all been seeing numbers/having visions & dreams that have very specific biblical meanings that are applicable to what God is doing with the 3 of us.  What we see or hear from the Lord he is and vice versa!  It's amazing!  

Now back to Amos 9 - all these things - dreams, visions, numbers, times, prophetic words, posts, quiet time thoughts and impressions are coming so fast.  Literally, the 3 of us have often been overwhelmed in a good way.  But, as the verse says, so fast our HEADS WILL SWIM!  I can't keep up with copying and pasting and typing out what we're hearing.  I know I am missing key pieces.  Our friend is even trying to create/keep up a graphic for us.  

So that leads me to the title of this post.  "Yes indeed, it won't be long now."  We believe this verse is being played out right before our eyes.   We still don't now HOW or WHEN, but we are trusting God, contending, decreeing, believing and standing in FAITH!  

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him Hebrews 11:5-6

Praise/Prayer 
-God is good and faithful to meet our every need.  This past weekend a friend of ours lives in a semi-nearby town which has an Aldi's (our closest one is an hour away).  We didn't want to go that far from home because Canyon was having a bad day and we weren't sure if we were going to have to put him down or not.  I called my friend and asked if he would mind stopping into Aldi and picking something up and bring to us the next day when he was coming for a visit.  He was happy to help us out.  He surprised us and blessed us by not only going to the store for us, but paying for it and not letting me reimburse him.  And he blessed us with 2.5 doz organic, non-gmo eggs & 3 cucumbers from his garden!  What a generous and kind man!!!   
-God is good and faithful - Canyon bounced back from a horrible few days.  We don't want him to suffer and yet we just don't have peace about putting him down quite yet.  It's very possible it could be any day.  Our prayer is that God would take him peacefully in his sleep, with no trauma to him or us.  We've been blessed that he's lived as long as he has 15.9 years (and his lifespan is only 10-12 years).  
- God is good and faithful - Ken somehow survives the limited sleep he gets on Monday and Tuesday nights mostly.  (Matter of fact he's trying to sleep now and since I can't, I'm in the other room writing this).  God's grace is sufficient in our weakness.  Please continue to pray for the grace to endure & provision to come forth.
-God is good and faithful - I'm thankful that even know my sleep is still not consistent or often, that somehow God's grace gets me through.  Pain levels are still high but I cope.  The enemy still often lies to me about the consequence of sleep deprivation and likes to attempt to put fear on me, but I am gaining strength and confidence in God's Word and believing what God said - HE WILL SUSTAIN me.  I trust that as we are stepping into DESTINY (soon, we hope) that my health will be fully restored.  I am seeing improvements. 
- God is good and faithful - our weekly meeting is still going strong.  Mostly our ministry in this season is to the Lord, in intercession and ministry to those He puts before us.  

Thank YOU so much for your ongoing support, 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.  

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.
