The other night I was listening to a friend talk about each person’s unique prayer closet. Each person’s place of intimacy with the Lord, the secret place. The fruit of this time, she called “times of refreshing.” This is not prayer to make your requests known to God, but prayer in the Spirit, aligning your heart and your spirit with the Father’s. She talked about how, “if you are not praying, you are fainting.” No refreshing means you will wither, you will tire, you will fail. The prayer closet is how real growth… Read More

In January of this year, our daughter Katy suddenly went home to Heaven. I have described that moment in another blog, but as the year has progressed I have learned more from it. The most difficult thing to communicate about the moment was a suddenly, a flash when, even though Katy had passed before we entered her room, it seemed I was actually there as she exhaled her last breath here and then I got to participate with her as she inhaled her first breath there. And I too breathed in the… Read More

Some years ago the Lord suddenly presented me with an image that helps me understand how He sees time.  He showed me Himself (as a bottle of water) wrapped in a double helix, with one strand representing past and the other representing future.  He is in the center and touches on all points along the line at once.  Every moment, which to us represents past, present and future, is to Him – now.  Right now.  He is “I Am”. When the Lord shows you something like this it can seem random.  But,… Read More

When I gaze into Jesus’ eyes I become like HIM. Just like Jesus chose to die to Himself for us, Katy’s death also caused me to have to die to my desires and my way. Biblical Principle: What I gaze upon I become. This is very important for us in a time when everything in the media is trying to convince you to be afraid. Do you know the story of Jacob and the spotted & speckled sheep?  After years of being cheated of his wages by his shifty father-in-law (FIL), Jacob cuts… Read More

In part 3 of 4 I want to show you one more piece of my relationship with Jesus that taught me my role as His beloved this year. But I have to give you a little bit more background – The one area where Katy did not begin at normal milestones was walking. One morning the Holy Spirit reminded me of an interview I had seen on TV way back when I was in high school, about horse therapy. That reminder inspired me to do a little research and I found there… Read More

My daughter Katy could not talk, or stand up on her own from sitting or sit down on her own from standing.  She couldn’t control her hands very well, but what she could do was connect with the spiritual world and see the needs of people around her.   Her silent way didn’t limit her ability to impact people’s lives. She would powerfully pray for people, or touch them and bring healing to their hearts.  Without words. Katy’s favorite way to express love, if she really likes hanging out with you is… Read More

Hi guys, it has been quite a while since I have added a blog post. As a matter of fact, the end of next month will be a whole year! So I have a lot to catch you up on.  Because of that and because of the work the Father has been doing in me, this will be a 4-part blog.  So consider this part 1 of 4. You know I do a lot of healing and deliverance ministry with people, and it has really seemed this year there has been more… Read More

Recently I was in a very mixed group of people in a 3 week class. Lots of them do not know the Lord at all.  I loved it!  I didn’t realize how much I had missed them. They are so hungry for the love of the Father! Thinking about them I realized it has been a long time since I shared with anyone the basics of what the gospel actually is to me. I would want be able to share it with them in the simplest way while still being complete.  At… Read More

This is a re-post of a blog I wrote a couple years ago.  As we enter into Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish Fall Feasts, it seems particularly appropriate. I hope you find yourself, as the Beloved, in this story. For her, this chance was her last gasp, her last fragment of hope to be healed and restored from the wasting sickness that had aged her, made her pale, given her dark circles under her eyes, stolen her strength, stolen her energy, stolen her hope. But would she dare? The oppression her culture… Read More

I heard a whispered, “Elohim.” I knew that Holy Spirit had said it.  Suddenly I felt the Presence of the Holy Trinity!  The room grew heavy and crowded. Elohim; Divine family, perfect love, friendship Elohim; Divine trust, unity, cooperation, even humility. Elohim Ancient of Days, Holy oneness, rivers of joy; Elohim Grace upon grace; Elohim My master, my savior, my husband,  my friend; Elohim. Creator of Heaven and Earth; Elohim God of oneness, intimate friendship; Elohim Most powerful union; Elohim
