Due Process by The Divine

I will attempt to describe ‘spiritually” what many of us are going through right now.

I will attempt to describe ‘spiritually” what many of us are going through right now.

For those who have had children and those who were apart of the birthing;

Do you remember vividly the time that came during hard labor? The time where you wanted to get off that bed irrationally and run, when the midwives all said to push!?

I sense that is where many of us are right now spiritually.

We are great with child and the pains have become very great and suddenly you say, “I don’t want to do this any more!?

Thanks be to God, for those dear midwives and husbands in the room that kept bringing our mental and spiritual focus back to the task at hand!

Going through all the pain, pressure, and the sound of the next command; The PUSH!! We want to run from the PUSH betwixt and between, when the PUSH is what brings the release!

How often do we labor in prayer and travail of the soul, and suddenly have the sensation of, “I don’t want to do this no more!”

Thanks be to God for those The LORD has placed in our lives! What makes no sense to our soul, and spirit at the time, when our flesh wants to run and hide!

It is in these times of great travail and transitions that makes us so uncomfortable, unsure, insecure so that our irrational behavior is turned way up!

I thank God for those who know when to intervene in our lives in prayer and giving words to thoughts when things are so overwhelmingly unclear! None want to admit gnawing fear and faith unknown, in this painful process.

Yet these precious saints know when the proper words, strategy, and prayers applied will bring clarity, as we make no sense for only a moment in time.

For it is the result of all the labor and travail of soul that brings into existence something divine.

For when Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Ghost she was impregnated with the divine at the right time.

So, it is true today, everything we are, we be, we become, is to press into the delivery of the promised destiny, that you shall shortly hold in your arms! Identity and destiny for the promises came forth from the beginning of time.

Take up that identity, swaddle it in your arms, for the promise of destiny has come. ~ Selah

“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith The LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. For thus saith The LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of The LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.” Isaiah 66:7-14 KJV

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: and she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” Revelation 12:1-6 KJV

He Is Bringing Us Full Circle

The LORD led me to remind all of us how extremely needful our personal outreach we all have been given in our lives.

I felt this morning The LORD wanted me to remind myself and those of you who know me and follow my ministry.

The LORD led me to remind all of us how extremely needful our personal outreach we all have been given in our lives.

God has used me mightily through the years, but never to the fervency I once had when I was baptized in The Holy Ghost and Fire.

That electrical Fire power surged all through me in such a way that my entire life was changed.

The Baptism of Fire I experienced, was literally heaven on earth and is hard to fully describe, but it forever changed my life. The scriptures say it best,

“His Kingdom come, His Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” Matthew 6:10.

I had no idea of His Power. I was only told that God still cast out demons and heals the sick and my friend would tell me stories for hours about her parents who were Assemblies of God ministers, things and stories of her own personal life as she got to watch as a child and she continued with God as an adult. How fascinating that God could still do this today.

I was totally ignorant of the Scriptures, but I believed in God, and I believed in Jesus, I was just so perplexed and wondered like a child about all I heard.

My friend was the one who told me about The Holy Ghost Baptism and that it was for me if I wanted it. I had never heard about this before, but I was very curious.

Over the years after being baptized by The Holy Ghost and Fire, I wondered if I had made a mistake in asking for it, since I knew nothing of it until my friend introduced me to the experience in Scripture.

My friend wasn’t pushy, but could tell I was interested and hungry.

At the time it was 1984, and it wasn’t long after the birth of my baby girl and I knew my husband was going TDY [Temporary Duty] to a remote base and would be gone for several days with the aircraft.

Our family had been going to Church on base faithfully and that is where we met my friend and her family. They invited us to a Church of God Christian Serviceman Center Mission, based out of Cleveland Tennessee.

I did not know God could be so real, nor did I know the raw Power of God. My friend encouraged me to ask God if this Baptism of Fire was something he wanted me to have, and she suggested that I give up a few meals and fast giving time to prayer as I always did with more fervency and more study of God’s Word concerning The Holy Ghost.

I had Bibles, dictionaries, Bible encyclopedias, and concordances out all around me and I was studying and seeking the truth about The Baptism of Fire.

My three children were young, and I was up early taking care of their needs. Every spare moment of time I had while my husband was gone TDY, I continued to feed on God’s Word.

I questioned God if this was literally something He wanted for me. Even though I was brand-new to learning Scriptures about The Baptism of Fire, I really did not understand what I was asking for.

I remember thinking to myself, “If this is something God has for me, it’s good, and I should ask for it!” and I found scriptural backing.

Not only was I reading the Bible, but I read a small book about the Baptism in The Holy Spirit written by John Osteen.

I have shared this testimony many times, but I especially felt led today to share it again, as I did not understand what the hefty price tag was attached to this gifting and blessing.

I took my friend’s instructions and I began to fast two meals a day, but I took what time I had that was free and dedicated that time to God in prayer and study.

Each day I continued seeking The Baptism of Fire, and on the third day, Friday night, after I got my children down to bed, I went to my living room and began to study and read again.

As God as my only witness, I felt a presence enter my house and I had never felt it before. I will try to describe it…..

Have you ever seen and felt a massive approaching storm coming towards you with great darkness of tempest, the clouds and the lightning and booming thunder coming towards you and then over your house and the feeling of the barometric pressure dropping, and you could feel the awesomeness of that raw power in the atmosphere?

That my dear reader is the same Presence that entered and was in my home!

As this presence entered my home, I was afraid, and I turned on every light in the house, but that presence did not leave.

So, I tried to sit on the couch and read but that feeling was so powerful and raw, that I finally got up and took the book I was reading on the Baptism of The Holy Ghost and Fire I went to my bedroom.

I was covered up and had the book in front of my face and I felt that same Power come into my bedroom, and I heard what an audible voice thunder to me and said, “It’s time!”

I sat straight up in my bed and said, “Time for what?”

As I looked up, and there was a white puffy Cloud in my room! I could see it with my natural eyes!

Because of not understanding what was happening to me, I got out of bed, and I called my friend and asked her if she could please come over.

I told her what happened, and that my heart felt like it was going to be out of my chest as I was going to die.

I kept my eyes closed, but finally opened them and the visible Cloud was gone but the Presence was still there! The Power of that massiveness of His Presence was still there!

I waited in the living room, looking up, trying to keep it together, but truly there was a fear. I do understand it now, for truly The Fear of The LORD is the beginning of Wisdom.

As I waited for my friend, the knock came at my door. I opened the door and my friend came in and she brought the associate pastor’s wife of the Church I went to at the Christian Serviceman Center the Mission.

They both said when they came on the property, they could feel the presence of God and they came in, speaking in tongues.

I sat and told them everything that happened. I kept looking up thinking that Cloud would show up again and we talked into the wee hours of the morning.

I decided I was going to stand up and put my arms up. I’d never done before, and I lifted up my arms to God and I asked him for The Baptism — and The Power touched the tip of my fingers.

I can’t say it was like a heat or oil, or peace feeling. It was more like an electrical current like holding a hot wire without the pain, but you can feel that electrical current inching down my arms and shaking me, and I asked The LORD to stop, and to fill me fully at Church on Sunday night at the Church of God.

To my amazement, that Power began to go out of my arms the way it came in. I was astonished and amazed and begged the women not to leave me — that I was afraid — because of The Presence in my house. They said they had to get home, so they left.

I was left in my home with my children, but the whole time that Power never left. I could not eat, drink, or sleep that whole weekend.

On Sunday, that night, I knew I was going to be baptized with The Holy Spirit and Fire! I was prepared, because that’s what I asked for.

When I got to Church, I went to the second row on the left and as soon as the music started, I began to praise The LORD and I asked Jesus to baptize me with The Holy Ghost and Fire and lifted my arms like I did at home.

The same thing happened, and the invisible Power started touching my fingertips and inched its way down to my shoulders, my head, all the way down, inching all the way down to the tip of my toes!

I shook under The Power of God and was literally like holding a live wire to the point where I could not stand and ended up falling back in my seat and I was gloriously filled with The Holy Spirit and Fire!

You may wonder why I would be afraid of this experience initially, especially in my own home, but everything was so new to me.

I didn’t understand the raw Power I experienced. I did not know what The Presence of The Cloud, thunder, and lightning represented in The Bible.

It wasn’t until a little later that God began to teach me in the Scriptures about the Shekinah Glory and about the Pillar of Fire by night in The Cloud by day, that led Israel out of Egypt.

“And The LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of Fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of Fire by night, from before the people.” Exodus 13:21-22 KJV emphasis added.

After this experience, I continued to seek God with all my heart with the new reality of who he is and a new hunger and thirst for him with the Fire in my bones that wouldn’t leave me alone!

I remember seeking him and He told me in a Vision that He called me as a Prophet to the Nations.

But because of my background being raised as Baptist, I said I can’t do that because I’m a woman! Little did I know, truly.

“And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I The LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.” Numbers 12:6 KJV

There are various levels of price tags attached to each gifting that he gives us by Grace. He Graces us to carry His Vision.

Little did I know what it would cost to serve and follow God all the days of my life.

We each have an area of outreach in our lives with our time, resources, and money and He Graces us to reach our areas of influence.

The LORD told us to go to the highways and byways and compel them to come into the Kingdom of God.

“But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, when he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.” Ephesians 4:7-8 KJV

Since my loss of my 25-year marriage and my divorce, my move to Virginia from Alaska nearly destroyed my mind and total life.

If you have never felt the loss of your own control over your own body or mind, you cannot possibly understand it, and you don’t want to go there, nor judge anyone that is in that place.

I do thank God for all of those who covered me in prayer during those trying times.

During the years following that time, I wondered if I would ever recover totally. I do believe we have scars that remain and remind us of where we came from to be able to identify with those who cross our path in need of what we carry.

For our deep branded cries and silent torments of our struggle to die to us, so that Christ can rise in us, and cause our heart to ooze out compassion and mercies that cover the anguished soul.

God is bringing us back full circle in every way.

I have always prayed even before I was Holy Ghost filled, I learned to pray.

I remember being invited to Evelyn Christiansen meeting on prayer it was a three-day event. I learned to apply everything that woman said.

I applied it to my life, and I began to get up way before dawn, before my husband and children got up, and I began to put God first in my life.

I began to give God time. I began to take 30 minutes and just talk with Him and intercede for others. Then after I prayed, I would read His Word and to my amazement, He began to talk with me trough His Word, into my spirit.

God is calling me back to the depths that I once had in my Prayer Closet. I believe reader, that you’re not reading this in vain.

Think back. Think back hard for the years and what has taken you away from that depth of spirit you once walked in.

There are so many things that keep us from the fullness of Him. The cares of this life, needs, entertainment, television and all sorts of things, and even people have taken away the depth you once walked in.

You’ve got by on mediocre prayer and praying with others. And there is nothing wrong with praying with others, there’s nothing wrong with prayer in any form, if it is in Jesus’ Name.

But I must warn you.

I want to say that this Word applies to me first. I am first partaker of the fruits, and without realizing it, I have gotten slack.

I have leaned too far on the staff of man, and I’ve learned how to slowly adapt to praying over a meal, praying and jest, praying with others also in Group Prayer, and slowly over time, I came out of the depth of prayer I once had.

I began to see ways to incorporate prayer into people, and not realize how I had come out of my own intimate prayer time on my face in my Prayer Closet.

Although our God is a jealous God, He is our heavenly husband first and foremost, always and forever!

In my beginnings I couldn’t wait to be in my Prayer Closet. I would close the door every chance I got!

Even though married with three children yes, I took care of my family and home. I took care of my husband yes, I did those things — but every smidgen of time I got I was in my Prayer Closet with my Bible.

At that time, I was a lot younger, so now it hurts for me to sit in that Closet, but I am determined I’m going to find that place that I had with God.

If I must find a beanbag…. I will pray in my Closet once again!

I remember hearing things in my Prayer Closet — Visions, Dreams, all sorts of things interpreted in that place where I was sitting there and literally, I got lost in time.

It would seem like mere moments would pass by, and it would be hours on in. I was continually tempted by my children, and tempted by my husband, as they wanted me in there to watch television.

They wanted me to do this and that, and I did my best for them, but you know something? God is first!

God is foremost he is our first husband; He is our first love! If we do not please Him first, everything else is in vain and everything else we make into an idol.

But I want to warn you of the danger when you venture out of your own Prayer Closet and become the status quo.

When you lean upon the staff of man — it will pierce your hand. I know what happened to me.

After I was filled with The Holy Spirit, prayer was something I did, it was my focus after taking care of my children and my husband.

What time I had, I spent in my Closet with my Bible, talking to God and that went on for years. I served in three Churches, and I mean I ‘served’.

My Prayer Closet was my first place of each day, keeping Him first and foremost.

I was licensed and ordained February 1990 and I still had that Closet, that place with God where I always went to.

When we opened the Church that Friday, my Prayer Closet was my focus, that was where all my messages came from and all direction.

My God was always first and we started having services in our home and grew quick. I could no longer keep up with everything that had to be done.

I want you all to notice this danger — especially those of you that have ever been in leadership or who are in leadership at this moment.

Satan will use whomever to pull you away from your pure devotion to Christ and that intimacy with him and that Prayer Closet.

Well-meaning folks came in and helped me but soon, they needed me and instead of helping me, they needed me to be there when I was supposed to be in my Prayer Closet, so I began to lean upon man.

As I began to lean upon the staff of man and soon, I was depending on Group Prayers, Individual Prayers, and I wasn’t going before The LORD in intimacy like I was supposed to, first and foremost as His Bride as His Wife, as I am His first Love, He is my first love.

The danger — Listen!

The danger is in coming out of that place with you and Him.

You must stop now! You must stop and go back to the ancient paths and search for the King of Glory so that the King of Glory of will come in!

But God is warning me that even in success, the engaging and the heights of The Spirit, He wants to take us!

Will it all be in vain if we fail to keep God in that place of intimacy in our prayer life. He wants us and the devotion we once had.

Man, and cares of life, can cause us to fail and move away from our first love devotion in God.

God has had me literally in my Closet, praying, and a return to the Power and strength I once walked in.

He brought me all the way back to when I was called by God, and He baptized me in The Holy Ghost and electrical Fire when His Cloud was in my house!

I had no idea what it meant so it scared me but my only fear is not fulfilling my destiny. But I am returning to the diligence I once had in intimacy with God.

He has used me — limitedly — and blessed me despite me, but I want more. I want God to use me unlimitedly! Without measure!

Dear reader, please consider everything carefully and prayerfully…..

I don’t want Him to sit me down and continue the way it has been, just doing enough and ministering to people in all ways. Yet my own heart needed to come completely back to that first love prayer.

God has shown me where I missed it in my prayer life. It wasn’t that I didn’t pray, I did, but there wasn’t the consistency in being the lay down lover of Jesus is supposed to be in my prayer life.

I know you wouldn’t be reading this if The Spirit of God did not touch your heart, because it is His conviction and it’s painful.

It’s painful to face what we are, and what we had. It is painful, but He is giving us a chance. He is giving us a time in this season to return, and the time is now.

If you hear His Voice, hear what The Spirit is saying to the Churches!

Reader and believer, I know you want everything God has for you!

I want everything God has for me, and I will walk in my destiny, for I am returning to the love of my life!

I want that devotion and closeness I once had. I cannot lean upon others anymore. No, this is a call to come aside and pray and get back to the discipline it took to finally get into the flow of Glory!

I remember King Asa (1 Kings 15, 2 Chronicles 14–16) did good for a time and experienced greatness and victory. He was following in grandfathers’ path, but a prophet came to him and basically warned him not to trust in the good success he had!

There is a danger with success because we lay down our guard and fail to remember where we came from and how it originated.

Because so many things come to us to steal our time from The LORD, busyness for busyness’ sake isn’t God’s Will.

Busyness in Church activities and what we think is God’s will is not God’s Will. Never will God give us demands without having that close relationship with him.

Just because there is a need, doesn’t mean we are to fill it. With man we always have needs, but we need to pray and not be hasty and miss the way.

He has warned me to be aware and to remember how to say “No!” to people in all circumstances that we have no business being in.

God has used me, despite me. My desire is to be the woman He desires, and a woman after His Own Heart. That is, it!

I believe The LORD is preparing and restoring everything, all the way back to when I was Holy Ghost filled!

He is showing me how America — especially in many Churches — are dead.

We’ve got to stand against the current tide of things and go upstream. We’ve got a push against the current of religion. We’ve got a price to the passion of our love for Jesus Christ!

God has shown me that Prophets and other anointed vessels who come out of their Prayer Closets leaning on their lover, must first go to The House of God and raise the dead!

The procedure is an awakening, and can only come when the dead are raised and convicted of their sin and repent, and turn away from their sin and can read The Bible, remain, and stand.

God will use us, despite us!

But just because He uses us, doesn’t mean we are right with God! The scriptures support this fact, that there will be those who prophesy and do mighty works in His Name — who won’t know The LORD — and He will say to them “Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity!” (Matthew 7:23)

I do not ever want to prophecy, teach, preach, or do anything in His Name without having my personal one-on-one time with Him in intimacy, that He requires from me.

We’ve got the goods. We know the plan. We know God has done it before. Can you just imagine now what He will do if we are all grown and ready?

Well… as far as for me? I have no other desire in my life than to serve God, and I will obey.

When He makes things clear to me, I will obey.

I honor and support you. I challenge you, and I encourage you to go onward and upward. God has a mighty Plan, and you have a part!

At Ease in Zion

The LORD has been showing me an “upward spiraling out of control” as things continue to intensify in our Nation and around the globe.

“He that is called ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.” Job 12:5 KJV.

The LORD has been showing me an “upward spiraling out of control.”

As things continue to intensify in our Nation and around the globe, the true Church of The Living God must learn to deny self and press onward and upward into God more than ever before!

We must take as many people as possible with us that will hear our message of The Cross. The Church needs to be prepared for what is coming, and messages lulling people to ease, is a negligence on our part if we do not confront it.

What’s right is wrong and what is wrong is right! If we have not learned this by now, it is a necessity that we must learn that the only reprieve The Church will have in the coming days ahead is learning how to live and walk in The Spirit and dwelling in the presence of The LORD.

Our times of refreshing come from The Presence of The LORD.

I predict that home Churches will be where the spiritual and physical needs of the Church will be met.

When true Believers come together, we must help strengthen one another and teach the true Gospel Message as the days get darker.

We must be strong in The LORD and in the power of His Might! The Church must be strengthened with all might according to his glorious power unto all patience, longsuffering, with joyfulness!

We are to live this and teach The Body, that living the life for Christ biblically is our only hope and our greatest joy!

To have hope in this world is to be most miserable. We must present the truth of Scripture about the dying of the flesh so the Spirit may rise.

However, what if we are called and chosen by God to die for our faith in Christ?

Do we really think we could stand in the face of death for our faith?

We will suffer for the name of Christ, and everything Bible speaks about the believers who count it all loss for the case and cause for The Cross of Christ Jesus.

I have heard this; “Hasn’t God promised us a life of ease?”

No, He did not. In fact, he said quite the opposite, for in this world you shall have tribulation. (John 16:33)

We are negligent if we do not prepare the saints that there will be tough times ahead. The light is revealing the thought of him at ease, and it exposes a slippery path.

There will be times of heaviness through the battles we face that will thoroughly test our resolve. Yet we have a good, good, father who cares for our lives in every way.

Even as The Sword of The Spirit wields down to the division of our very own soul, spirit, joints, and marrow.

Do we ease or appease the nature of those who willfully conformed to sin?

Again, do we ease or appease the nature of those who willfully conform our nation at odds with God?

Are we at ease in Zion?

Do we pacify and appease all sorts of ungodly pressure groups so that they demand acceptance when it goes against our conscience and against God’s Will — which is His Word?

“Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; that chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David; that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. Therefore, now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet them that stretched themselves shall be removed. The LORD GOD hath sworn by himself, saith The LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore, will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.” Amos 6:1-8 KJV

“Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon The LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us. Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.” Psalm 126:2-6 KJV

The Prophetic Macedonian Call

The LORD says, “I have given My Servant this message for you. You can accept it or reject it.”

“I have given My Servant this message for you. You can accept it or reject it.

If you reject it, and not heed The Macedonian Call, you’ll continue to walk in your own limited way and on your limited path, and you will follow your own limited purposes.

But if you heed The Macedonian Call to Lee County Virginia, there will be an incredible launching of Revival beyond your wildest dreams or imagination!

If you reject The Macedonian Call to Lee County VA, I will raise another, but this major opportunity will pass you by.

I AM giving you an open window of time, act quickly and begin to pray and fast if this bears witness, says The LORD God Almighty.”

I awoke at 4:00 am and The LORD urged me to write. I was troubled and beside myself, upset with tears, as I felt so helpless and in desperate wrestling for this region!

I have lived here 21 years as a licensed ordained minister with no help, no Church, but I tried a few times to reach out, to no avail.

These were such hard times of silence when I was so hopeless, discouraged, and despaired of life itself and ended up backslid several times. Having no Church, no fellowship, took its toll on my soul.

It is hard to progress forward when you have nothing to progress for. Maybe someone can identify with me in this statement.

I have written “Catch of The Day” since 1998 and that was my only outlet of giving out what was written within me!

I see so much and I know what He can do through me, but I am limited in my locality. There were a few times I was able to get away for ministry purposes, but ended up right back here, in the midst of a valley of dead, dry bones.

I thank God he gave me the outlet of the internet or I felt I would have died here, rich in Spirit but dry to the bone.

I was very hopeful a few months back, as I thought God had opened a door into a House Church, but The LORD closed that door suddenly.

I am accountable and responsible to my apostle and mentor, Durussia O Jenkins of DPM as while I was out of town, I was confronted concerning that door. For what door God shuts no man can open, and what door God opens no man can shut.

I have been rejected by every Church in the area I have gone to. I was especially shocked in my experience, that 99% of the people you come across couldn’t receive from me, because I am a woman minister.

People are very shallow and superficial in their lives and many only scratch the surface, like chickens scratch for bugs and worms, instead of deeply mounting up as an eagle until they clearly see from what is above!

The region has a strong hold of religion and is flooded by many religious spirits. Every known Pentecostal Church I went to rejected me in this region.

In this region, there are very many Baptist Churches, 2 Methodist, many Church of God based out of Cleveland TN and Church of God of Prophecy (which this denomination is the result of a split in Church of God), 1st Christian Church, 1 Catholic, 1 Jehovah Witness, also a few Pentecostal Holiness, and a Church “that handles snakes!” I don’t want to go there!

No Assembly of God Churches and none that I know of that are non-denominational.

I remember a few of them, but they are no longer where they were, or they are closed. I came through Lee County VA in the 1980’s when Revival was in St Charles VA. (A coal mining community ghost town)

This REGION is the “Mid-Point” in the Appalachian Chain Mountain Range. This is The Center and the Very Heart of this mountain range. If you have ever heard of ‘Hillbillies’— you are in the general vicinity!

However, I will continue to fast, pray, and search further to find out who would be interested in this vision and helping us with The Macedonian Call to Lee County Virginia locally.

In my experiences here in America, and having traveled the USA and the globe in the Military, I have learned a whole lot about global perception and unity. In the 21 years I have lived here, I have watched and witnessed this region well.

To give you an idea of the condition and maturity level of the people; the majority have NOT moved on with God’s Glory Cloud!

I sense that most are still living 20 or more years behind the rest of the advancing Church. The majority are dried up religious shrines with dead men’s graves in traditional memorial fashions.

They call this the Bible Belt? You can’t keep a belt up on a skeleton, nor can a skeleton hold a Bible!

There had been the beginnings of Revival Fire in this area in the 1980’s, but the pastor confessed he did not know what to do with it. (The way I understood it was, he didn’t know what to do with the Revival to maintain it)

The Pastor and his family moved away. When he moved away, the Revival died and the people were chaotic, confused, and many wandered.

Then some found religious Churches, others I know of, left the Churches all together having no place to find rest in God.

I have seen many visions of bleating sheep and lambs scattered all over the mountains and valleys here, seeking refuge and care.

Many during that Revival were saved, delivered, healed, and filled with The Holy Ghost but when the Revival died, there was no discipleship training, no nest to grow in, or a field of ministry by streams of water. (Psalm 23)

Historically, Revivals prepared God’s People for hard times coming. Revival comes to a wayward, asleep, or dead Church with a sound to wake up and a great shaking and conviction to Repent!

I had heard that the Revival was compared to a Brownsville type of Revival. The Pastor confessed and taught that the 5-fold Ministry was needed to accomplish the work. (Ephesians 4)

He was a visionary, as the 5-fold Ministry had not come into play yet in this region. It will take the entire 5-fold Ministry to maintain end-time Revival.

Not just one or two, it will take having all 5 offices in operation. The fullness of the Godhead bodily.

The office of the Apostle like Paul was, the office of the Prophet like Agabus was, there are many offices of Pastor, Teacher and Evangelist.

“I therefore, the prisoner of The LORD, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism,One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” Ephesians 4:4-16 KJV emphasis added.

I have not met anyone here who walks in the office of a Prophet or an Apostle. I know there could be one or more, but I have never met any the whole time I have lived here.

I have witnessed pastors, teachers, and evangelists and the revivals they do are little 3-or 5-day meetings where they get the people hyped up and then they go back to living the way they always have. I have seen no soul winning, or true revival in this region in 21 years.

I was told that Paul Yonggi Cho, of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul in Korea prophesied that a Great Revival will break out in this region.

The LORD told me that this area and region is like an outreach mission area, and we NEED missionaries who hear the sound of The Macedonian Call!

We need those who are sold out to Jesus, to be servants in reaching this region and to help us win souls, and plant Churches. Coming to this region is like stepping into another country.

Over the years, I have tried to leave here on several occasions only to be back within several months.

DPM (Dunamis Power Ministries, in conjunction with several other ministries and many various donations of food, favor, and prayer, you name it!)

We went into Hamilton NC in July 1996 and met them where they were, with a tent for 7 days and Revival broke out, yet the Revival did not remain.

Going into that region where Hamilton NC felt like we entered into a time warp and third world country. I truly believe that the way and effect of that outreach was a test and trial run of what’s to come!

Will you hear the sound of His Macedonian Call to Lee County Virginia? Blow the shofar Irene!

I know a close and dear co-laborer friend of mine in Malawi Africa. Since we met online, the Anointing and Power has been released in them, and they just started experiencing crusades and souls being saved, delivered of demons, and healed, Church growth, and provisions.

This dear man of God is my #1 Prayer Warrior in my life! Why? Because when he says he fasts and prays for me, he means it! Things happen!

We are spiritually and ministerial connected in a deeper way!

They know I am desperate for the souls in this region and the condition of The Church here to break the stronghold of religion.

This man of God and his family and Church are fasting and praying for Me, the Ministry, DPM, and this REGION for a Major Breakthrough and Release of God’s Power to bring Revival here to breakthrough in Lee County!

Sometimes I ask God to take me to Malawi, because the people there are hungry and they want God and are open to The Gospel!

America is fat, sassy, asleep, and snoring away in their comfort, ease, and entertainment!

“For thus says The LORD God, My Call is beyond your own strength, space, and purpose, for this is an outreach for the manifestation of the fullness of the Godhead bodily!

I have a path and plan laid out for all those who hear the sound of My Voice! I AM sounding!

Shall you Hear, Rally, and Come Together Again in My Divine Order? I Shall blast My Sound in the airwaves and Provoke You to React, then to Act!”

In a Vision, I see a very large, strong, streamlined, sleek, and a very different type of powerful Rocket that will push a spacecraft way beyond what has been our limited means.

This Rocker Power will blast past anything we have ever known or seen in this life, or in the history of the Church.

I knew within myself that this is a call to those within and connected to DPM! But not limited to only them but to whomever shall come.

This Vision is for whoever hears the Call!

This Vision was a description of what GOD will do and what it will take for a number of us in various States and Ministries to come together and align to help!

If we HEAR and OBEY HIS Voice in this Macedonian Call to Lee County Virginia, The LORD is going to launch Revival in this region!

In a Vision, I saw this Powerful Rocket Igniting for TAKEOFF and to sequence the time for launch!

“It is the time to come into alignment to take the Nation. I AM calling forth My Five-fold Ministry of Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Teacher, and Evangelist to come into agreement and become one for this Macedonian Call into Lee County Virginia in the Spring of 2022.”

I see the various separation sequences of Orion traveling the universe, being able to land on an asteroid and to travel to Mars.

In 1986 we saw the spacecraft Challenger fail 73 seconds after takeoff. The right rocket weakened, failed, and tore apart resulting in a flood of liquid oxygen and hydrogen creating a huge fireball as it fell into the ocean killing all seven astronauts.

In the past, the rocket ignition, or the ministry Challenge failed to be carried upward and the right-hand rocket or, the right-hand man had been weakened, failed, and tore apart and compromised the total challenge.

Each part of the plan must be in place for proper ignition and lift off and for continuing onward, and upward! It will take ALL parts of the ministry to come together!

The challenge isn’t a one man show, or even a one ministry event, it will TAKE ALL parts to various ministries that will come together and be who you are in the fullness of the Godhead bodily!

We’ve got to be launched together, before we can go onward and upward! Hear the sound!

“The hour is late, and I have given you The Macedonian Call to Lee County VA.

My Spirit prays for you. Please don’t fail me now. Millions are crying out.”

Come over here and help us find Jesus!

Help us find Hope and Joy, help us find Peace and Love, the Grace you show, and we need The Light of The Gospel!

We need Healing, Freedom; we need Deliverance! Please come and help us! Please come over here and help us! We need Jesus!

I pray that you hear and heed The Macedonian Call.

If we deny this call, God will raise up someone else to heed His call.

Be still and get quiet and listen to the depth of your soul. Haven’t you felt His power upon you as you read this? Will you walk after Jesus?

He tells us that we will not be defeated and He will lift you, and you will see light on the darkest of nights. He will be with you and He will use you in this final hour to reap the harvest before it’s too late!

If you hear this call, please contact me with all your information, because it is strictly by Faith.

We do not have the financial ability to do any of it — but we have feet and hands that move and do!

Let us know what you can do!

And please — Pray for us!

Thank you kindly and God bless.
 

In HIS Grace and Mercy,
