Father has been making it more and more clear that it's time for me to stop hiding my BodyTalk skills. The Christian community that I'm a part of threw me out as an "Unfit Christian" when God healed me through BodyTalk.
Hey, I tried regular medicine when I was dying from shingles on the brain 14 years ago. All I was told by the neurologist was to go and rest somewhere. I had already been on bed-rest for 3 months.
It was BodyTalk that healed my nerves enough for me to be able to function again!! I mean WALKING without an arm to lean on. I mean SAYING something without repeating it 4 times. I mean holding my head still without it bobbing like a floppy doll. I mean LIVING without a freight train roaring through my head. All of these the shingles on my brain had wrecked for me but BodyTalk gave me my life back by getting rid of all of that!!!
I begin again, then, to share the most amazing healing modality on the planet. There are many others that help some, but it was BodyTalk that saved my life after a year and a half of 5 bee stings a day in my skull!
I would urge you to watch this video. This is the most powerful healing tool I have ever found. It takes about a minute to do the cortices technique and you will be amazed how much it helps on so many levels.
So you're going to tap on the head, heart, and navel while focusing on "I'm linking the 2 sides of my brain." The navel location has been added in recent years but it brings those "Gut feelings" into the healing process.
Here's to Dr. John Veltheim and to God who guided him to create this amazing healing modality.
I had a dream on June 17, 2020, in which I was looking at the earth as a whole from what seemed like space. I had this feeling and knowing that I was about to see something important. Then suddenly, I saw an enormous angel looking over the earth. The earth looked the size of a beach ball in comparison to the angel's size and stature. He was dressed in warrior's attire and looked like a gladiator.
The angel had an open book held out in his hand and he looked at me, slapped the open book and declared, "RELEASE THE TERMS!" His voice sounded as if it was thunder! Then he slapped the book two more times, a total of three times all together, and said again, "RELEASE THE TERMS!" Suddenly I knew this angel was sent to release the terms for the NEW ERA!
I began to pray and ask the Lord, "What does this mean?" About a month later after this dream, He told me, "These terms are for the new era. Beginning in the month of August, I am going to flip the switch, turn the page, raise the roof and pull back the covers! There will be a full onslaught of seeing, exposing and downloads of what you've needed to see and know!" I believe the Lord is speaking this in several ways. I believe details will be uncovered and released, and plans and conditions downloaded.
The Lord is also saying, "Watch Me begin to uncover things in America where the distractions have been. Some things are going to get exposed in the political realm; plots and plans of the enemy are going to be uncovered. You are going to see some leaders who will look as if they got enlightened, got revelation, got smart, and got a total mind shift overnight. I'M TURNING THE LIGHTS ON," declares the Lord! "Watch and see!"
The wheels of Heaven that have seemed motionless are now going full speed ahead. I heard the Lord joyfully laugh when He said, "Just try to keep up with Me! Everywhere you turn you will see Me move over here then over there." Then He said to me, "Wendy, tell them I'm not coming part-time or even half-time but full-time!" I felt such a powerful anointing of joy exploding in my spirit with these words!
Chariot Wheels of Fire
Then He said, "Many of My ones who are pioneering the new era Church are going to be given chariot wheels of fire!" When He spoke that I could see it in a vision before me—Holy Ghost fire coming from the mouths of those who have been prepared for such a time as this. I knew that many had long awaited and were born for this time of revival. I could see fire that had been shut up in their bones for years finally coming forth with great passion, accuracy and power manifested. (Photo via Pixabay)
Jeremiah 20:9, "...But His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones..."
August is just the beginning. It's page one into the new!
"RELEASE THE TERMS! RELEASE THE TERMS!" resounded in my head again as He continued to speak. He said to me, "This is the Beautiful Chaos I've been preparing many for!"
1 Corinthians 2:9, "But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him."
I felt deep in my heart that so many, including myself, almost gave up thinking this time would never happen. Then I felt the Father's heart and compassion for those who have held on even by a very small thread. I could feel the excitement and joy coming from the Father as He is ready to watch us TASTE and SEE what He has been long preparing for us all.
Psalms 34:8, "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusts in Him."
Encounters with the Eyes and the Mouth
Encounters are coming with the eyes and the mouth! Yes! This is where the intimacy is...with the eyes and the mouth. Some of you are going to lock eyes with Jesus for the very first time and for some of you like never before. From these encounters some of you are going to see and hear His mouth speak words that will shift your entire being and your DNA.
1 Samuel 12:16, "Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes."
Some of you ate the scroll of complacency that the enemy offered you, but God is now going to cause you to be so dissatisfied with complacency and you will now eat the scroll of desperation.
Prepare the Way of the Lord!
I grew up hearing Whip-poor-wills as a kid. Still to this day, I live in the country and it's a sound I thoroughly enjoy. Even though the Whip-poor-wills I heard as a kid are not the same Whip-poor-wills that I hear today, they still make the same familiar sound. It makes me think of the sound of John the Baptist crying in Mark 1:3, "...Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!" That was the cry of John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus. (Photo via Pikist)
I believe this new era is preparation to move us into the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ again. It will be a familiar sound for the new era. John the Baptist walked alone on a very narrow path, and I believe there will be many who will rise up with hearts and a passion like John's.
Isaiah 40:3, "The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God."
There is no looking back now...He is releasing the terms! The sacrifices of cutting away more flesh and doing away with certain worldly pleasures will be required of you. Pray and fast and ask the Lord what is required of you. The anointing is carried through your obedience in doing all that He says and asks. This is what I personally believe is a part of the conditions in releasing the terms—a sacrificial lifestyle to carry such an anointing.
There is one last strong message God reminded me of. In another dream He gave me about two years ago, He said to not lose FOCUS when He releases the new. Regardless of what is going on around us, we need to KEEP OUR EYES FIXED ON HIM! We need to stick to the mission He has given us and be faithful with it. In the dream He even warned me that some will walk alone on a very narrow path, and He repeated, "Keep your eyes on Me!"
"And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: that ye may remember, and do all My commandments, and be holy unto your God." (Numbers 15:39-40)

Yesterday, as I made my way from my office down to Sam's club after seeing clients, I heard a song playing on the radio. I recognized one of the singers as Dolly Parton and she was singing about her immense love for Jesus. You can watch the song at the end of this post!
A couple of years ago I heard that this woman had given her life to the Lord. I found it hard to believe. I wanted to believe it but needed some kind of proof.
When my granddaughter was born, Cora signed Elsie up for the Dolly Parton book club. Each month every child who wants one can get a free book from this famous singer/actress. I checked the books over thoroughly for signs of witchcraft, feminism or any other isms. I found NONE--nothing that wasn't wholesome for little ones.
When I heard Dolly Parton singing about how much she loves Jesus, I wanted to believe her. Why not give her the benefit of the doubt? Still, Jesus is my best friend and I can't stand people mocking Him!!
The Lord must have known how badly I wanted to believe that someone from Hollywood would give their life to Him. LOOK AT WHAT HE SENT ME THIS MORNING! This prophecy couldn't come at a better time seeing as that song made me very curious if this could really be true!
As I read today's prophecy on the ELIJAH LIST, I saw how much other prayer warriors have already accomplished. This didn't just happen--these Christians prayed earnestly for revival to come! Then I saw how much Father wants ME to be praying for this too. When He asked me to share this on my blog, I finally saw that He is asking ALL of His people to pray for revival to break out in Hollywood.
So much can be accomplished through Christian movies. We watched one the other night and it was so encouraging. What will happen when ALL of Hollywood worships our loving Father in Heaven?
Please pray about how Father wants you to help take back Hollywood for God! May He bless you as you serve Him in this way.
God's richest blessings to you prayer warriors!

"Hollywood ARISE: The Revolution Is Around the Corner!"
Jonathan Ngai, Los Angeles, CA
In 2005, Sharon and I prayed for the first time on-site in Hollywood with a group of radical young people. We worshiped on the streets of the city and in front of some key sites, including the Kodak Theater (which is now the Dolby Theater where the Academy Awards take place) and Mann's Chinese Theater.
At the end of that day, we were heading back to our base and saw a sign that read, "The Revolution is Around the Corner." Our group knew the Lord was speaking prophetically about a time in the future where God was going to do something revolutionary in the city called the Hub of Arts & Entertainment. We didn't know when and we didn't know how, but there would be an appointed time.
That was 15 years ago, and we didn't know the Lord was going to call us into the city in 2011 to start a House of Prayer. In just a few months we are going to celebrate 10 years of worshiping, praying, and plowing the ground of Hollywood. Over this time, we have seen splatters of encouraging signs as God has raised up key individuals to bring Kingdom shows, movies, and music into the consciousness of a generation. We have also seen some key influencers give their lives to the Lord with some great testimonies...but these are just the "Birth Pangs" of a revolution.
Hollywood Arise!
In 2018 we saw a thousand people from all around North America come for Hollywood Arise – a 72 hour worship and prayer gathering in a tent that was pitched right in front of the Gates of Babylon (a massive replica of the Ishtar Gate in ancient Babylon). For many years, this symbol in the heart of the city represented a stronghold that has kept many Believers away from Arts & Entertainment, and has impeded the upward progress of Kingdom voices to be released through TV, film, and movie space.
A couple significant things happened on this weekend of October, 2018:
1. Cindy Jacobs, who was helping us to lead this time, went up on the platform on the first night and decreed that "The Kingdom Creatives are now being released into Arts & Entertainment"! She came down and said to Sharon and me, "Did you feel that? The atmosphere just shifted!" Everyone felt it in the tent. Within 15 minutes, rain starting pouring down on the tent accompanied with some massive thunder strikes. The forecast for the weekend was hot and sunny and it hadn't rained in LA for 9 months. The atmosphere had shifted. (Photo via Jonathan Ngai)
2. On the second day we hosted an 8 hour solemn assembly. In the weeks leading up to it, Sharon kept getting the sense that we needed to invite people from across the nation who were in the fight against sexual immorality to come and pray together. During the afternoon session that focused on this topic, the whole tent erupted into a declaration: "Babylon fall! Babylon fall!" as we faced the Babylonian Gate. We felt it was a moment when the structures of the city, that had been holding sexual harassment, human trafficking, pedophilia, pornography, and the casting couch culture, were shaken.
A few months after Hollywood Arise, we heard the testimony of Kanye West sharing in his Sunday services across America that he was Nebuchadnezzar – who once knew Jesus (one of his first breakout songs was "Jesus Walks" in 2004) and then lost his mind to the materialism, money, and fame of Hollywood. His testimony is now that he is "back in his right mind" because of Jesus! It is interesting that Nebuchadnezzar was the king that built the Babylonian Gate.
Fast forward to recent news, when we saw the headlines in the papers read: "Hollywood & Highland is getting a massive makeover and a new name"! A year after Hollywood Arise, a new owner purchased the center where the Academy Awards take place, and where the Babylonian Gate sits, and they announced a $100 million renovation where the present Babylonian structure is going to be TORN DOWN, and the center will be given a NEW NAME!
What Is God Saying to Hollywood Right Now?
1. The new center is going to be named Ovation Hollywood. Ovation is defined as "a sustained and enthusiastic show of appreciation from an audience, especially by means of applause." We believe we are moving into a time where the old Babylonian structure that has been worshiped will be torn down and replaced by the worship, applause, and acclaim of Jesus. His name will be erected high from the center of Hollywood and from the content that comes out of the city.
2. We need to pray for influencers. Kanye West is the first fruits of those that are going to come back into their "right minds" and use their platform to make Jesus known. We know that so many of the top names in music grew up in the Church (Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Katy Perry, etc.). I believe they are going to be coming home, one by one, as God's people pray! The structure of Babylon over them is falling! (Photo via Flickr)
3. God is bringing in those that have been called to Arts & Entertainment. There is a remnant that has been cultivating deep roots in the Lord, consecrating themselves, and training to perfect their gifts and talents. These individuals have been hidden – waiting for the green light from the Lord to come into the city. Many who have tried to come on their own terms have been frustrated, but those that have "waited upon the Lord" are going to hear the words "GO" in these coming days, and they will take the industry by storm.
As Cindy Jacobs declared, God truly is releasing the Kingdom Creatives into Hollywood. God is jealous for this city and He is getting ready to flood it with those that love Him. His name is going to be above every other name. The shows, movies, and music are going to draw people to the knowledge of Him. The best and brightest are going to give everything they have to make a name for Jesus and not themselves.
The Revolution is here.

"Warring Angels Have Been Sent to Battle on Your Behalf!"
Sharell Barrera, Tri-Cities, WA
We are entering a pivotal time in which, I believe, the angelic will be released on a larger scale to help us with the continuous, attempted attacks of the enemy. We may feel beat up at times, but we have the victory and we are overcoming with a mighty strength. Angels of greater ranking authority have been sent out to accompany you in this hour.
I was invited to go minister in Oklahoma with some very good friends recently. We experienced the most massive healings and revival in the area that I have seen yet. We saw people experience supernatural weight loss and metal melting in bodies with doctor reports. These are exciting times!
The Warring Angels
The night after the conference was over there was a powerful storm in the sky; lightning was striking everywhere and the power went out in some places. I knew the battle had begun. My spiritual eyes had opened at the conference.
I had not been able to see angels since I was very small, but as I looked behind the special speaker, I could see two enormous angels standing behind him, with blue flames and their arms crossed holding swords. I sat there in awe as the presence of God filled the room. Many people experienced the same thing; even children began to say they could see angels in the room.
That evening I dreamed all night long of angels going back and forth between Heaven and Earth and sharpening their swords for war! It was extremely intense, and at one point I could see them all sitting at a very large table talking about something that I could not make out.
When I awoke that morning, and lightning was still crashing outside, my spirit could feel the intensity of Heaven and such a shift in the atmosphere. It was as if Heaven had gone into warrior-mode as the sons and daughters began to rise in power! I believe the Lord has sent out higher ranking angels to accompany those with bigger assignments.

2 Peter 2 it says that if the Lord Yahweh rescued Lot, a righteous man, He knows how to continually rescue the godly from their trials. The Father knows how to rescue you from every trial, every dart and every attempt of the enemy.
I am usually nervous every time I get on a plane to fly, but as I boarded the plane home this time, I had a comfort in my heart that the Lord was protecting me from any evil that would try to come against me. I want to encourage you to stay strong and trust in the Lord. There is a battle in the unseen realm going on—a fight for you and your family.
As I looked out at the clouds and sky from my window seat on the ride home, my eyes opened again and I could see angels all around the plane. I thought, "Did God send all these angels just for me?" I could see them fighting and keeping the enemy at bay from attacking the wing of the plane where I was sitting. I started snapping pictures and, to my surprise, caught one on my camera.
I thought this would encourage people so much to know that when God sends us on assignment, we have warring angels fighting for us. They are not just flying around playing harps; in fact, they are not doing that at all. Angels are warring for the saints of God; they are fighting battles for us in the unseen realm. They are working constantly to protect and fight for us on our behalf.
Hebrews 11:7 (TPT), "Faith opened Noah's heart to receive revelation and warnings from God about what was coming, even things that had never been seen. But he stepped out in reverent obedience to God and built an ark that would save him and his family..."
We are getting ready to see things that we have never seen!
Psalm 91:3-4, 11-13 (TPT) declares, "He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy, and He will protect you from false accusation and any deadly curse. His massive arms are around you, protecting you...God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm. If you walk into a trap they'll be there for you keeping you from stumbling. You'll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling everyone of them beneath your feet!"
It's Your Season! All of Heaven Is Backing You!
I prophesy to you that from this day forward, every place you are sent God will send armies of angels with you to help you on your assignments. I declare that signs, wonders and miracles will follow you every place you walk into. I prophesy that all the traps set for you will backfire on the enemy! (Photo via Pikist)
Get ready to see outpourings and miracles. Get ready to see like you have never seen, for the Lord is saying to you, "It's your time! It's your season, and all of Heaven is backing you."
Angels are accompanying you, even if you can't see or feel them. They are there fighting for you; fighting for your destiny! If God is for you who can be against you?
I can hear the trumpets of Heaven being blown over you! God is announcing His children going forth. We are not alone. God will never leave you or forsake you. I declare life and wholeness over you. I send the angels of resurrection power over you to breathe new life and breathe over you and your assignment!
Sadness is leaving you now; discouragement is breaking off. A new, fresh wind is blowing over you and your ministry and the calling that God has called you to! I declare Psalm 46:4 over you, that God has a constant river whose sparkling streams bring joy and delight over you!

I am beyond happy as Cora and her daughters spent nearly a week with us! She came last Monday and left for home very early yesterday morning. The house sure is quiet now but, OH, the memories we made!!!
Robert, Jacob, and I had multiple shared meals with our son, Andrew, and his family while Cora was here with us. We hosted some meals here and Andrew and Marie hosted some at their house. We feasted together with the joys of family closeness enriching us all!! What a joy it was to see the little cousin's love for each other growing even more. Their hugs and laughter filled us with delight!
After I made my guy's lunch this morning, and sent them to work for the day, I found myself thinking on something I haven't thought about in awhile. It has to do with the other family I'm a part of--the family of God.
I really don't like pondering this topic. Perhaps Father waited until after I'd had such a wonderful family week to help me through this issue. It needs to be talked about, for some reason, right now so I'll obey.
I grew up in a very loving and supportive church. The denomination was called EUB which stood for "Evangelical United Brethren." I praise God for those kind and gentle Sunday School teachers who taught and modeled God's love for me. I smile as I ponder all of the Sunday mornings singing my heart out with the choir under the direction of Reverend Roland Walkes. All of my memories of my first 18 years of life there are wonderful.
Then God took me to "Brookings Wesleyan Church" for the 4 years I was studying law enforcement/social work in Brookings, South Dakota. That, too, was a wonderful experience. I sang in the choir; helped with children's church; and was active in the collage and career Sunday School class. Everyone was kind to me and to each other.
I had no idea of the cruelty churches were capable of until I got married. Robert and I had been attending my home church which was no longer EUB but United Methodist--so not the same thing. We got married in October and were milking 120 Holsteins. When Summer came around, we had our first jolt with "Religion."
The church was voting on whether or not to switch to 9:00 AM services for the Summer months. Robert, my brand new husband, stood up and said "I would love to join this church but I milk cows. If you choose to switch your services to 9:00, I won't be able to come all Summer!" I was so proud of him.
Then numerous and assorted people spoke about how hot it is to sit during services at 11:00. The deciding factor was when one woman announced that the services HAD to be switched to 9:00 so that there kids could play in the ball games which started at noon.
When the vote was taken, it was close, but the ball players and the heat haters won out over the cow milkers. Robert and I got up and walked out. Nobody tried to stop us and my heart was broken.
I had served the people of that church all my life. I started singing solos for the ladies's aide meetings when I was only 4 years old. Later I played my trombone for their enrichment. I had taught Bible school and Sunday school. I was President of the youth group. I had sung in the choir forever and sung solos, duets, trios, quartets, small groups ANY CHANCE I GOT!! My family sang countless times for morning worship; Sunday night worship; Wednesday night worship. I sang for weddings and funerals. I helped Dad count the money after church on Sunday afternoons as he was the church Treasurer. ALL OF THAT MEANT NOTHING BECAUSE PEOPLE WANTED TO PLAY BALL AT NOON!!!!
Overt the years, this pattern continued of us serving in the churches that God took us too. Robert and I both sang in choirs and in small groups. We helped with children's programs; Junior High puppet programs; Bible school; and taught Sunday School. Robert was a deacon and then finally head deacon. He took offering; watched the nursery with me; and led the music service before the sermon.
We love serving the Lord and continue doing so in our home. However, we began to see organized religion for what it really is. The clincher came for me when a special friend from church called me. I was in the midst of home schooling; gardening; milking goats; and raising calves on the goat's milk.
She said, "We have finally figured out how we can USE YOU!"
I was stunned and waited.
"Being Ann died, we need a piano player for opening up of Sunday School. Will you do it?"
It took a few moments to process all of that. Being someone had died, they would now like to use me SOME MORE!! All that Robert and I were already doing in church, wasn't enough. I felt the back of my neck getting hot. I prayed for the words.
Finally I said coldly, 'NO THANK YOU! I've been used enough." I hung up and never looked back. I told Robert that I was done with organized religion and he agreed. He finished his year as head deacon and we left the church AND organized religion.
As I pondered all of this today, my mind when back to a time before we walked away from it all. I remembered how I salivated at the chance to sing in Bismarck Baptist church. We had been visiting and some people in front of us heard Robert and I singing. They turned to us afterwards and said, 'YOU SHOULD SING IN OUR CHOIR!"
AW Isn't that nice? They needed us to sing in the choir. Being we had just left our home town and our families of origin there, being involved seemed a little bit less lonely in our new life in the city. That, plus a lifetime of giving to my church, had conditioned us to "Live for our church!" So we joined the choir.
It wasn't long before the choir director noticed our voices. He wondered if we would like to sing in a small group they were getting together. WHY NOT?
I started to get excited. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I got to sing again like I did in my home church? Of course, there was a difference in that I was now a wife and mother. No worries. The church had a nursery.
Soon I was asked to sing in a ladies trio which I REALLY loved. In fact, the other 2 ladies are my Facebook friends today! Then my fame spread. When I was asked to sing on the praise team that opened the service, I knew that I had arrived. WOW!!! I was really using my talents for the Lord!!
I directed the music for Bible School with each class coming in to the chapel separately to learn their parts with me--the music director! How could it possibly get any better?
The ultimate and complete total bliss came when I was asked to sing the Soprano solo for the Christmas cantata just like when I was living in Eureka. My parents even drove 175 miles to see me perform "To the honor and glory of God!" We had a big splash afterwards at our house with the CHOIR DIRECTOR'S FAMILY and my parents and Robert and I all EATING TOGETHER AROUND OUR TABLE!!
I had arrived! I was singing again. When our son Andrew was born, the pastor offered to do a baby dedication service for all of the new babies in our church. He said that the parents could sing or read or whatever special thing that they wanted to do in honor of their son or daughter. By then I was confidently singing solos in front of the huge church so I offered to sing.
The big moment came and I sang Sandi Patty's CRADLE SONG to our son as Robert held the baby and cried for joy. Not me, I was a polished singer. I would cry later when I was alone. I am still crying.
The end to all of that came when we were in the ""We have finally figured out how we can USE YOU," church. I was singing in another ladies trio we had named "Hearts of Praise." I don't mind saying that we were pretty good. We even entered the local talent contest and made $100 which we split 3 ways. ;)
There was some talk of working on a concert. We had purchased books and an accompaniment track and had already sung at several local functions. Our fame was rising and then it happened. I LOST MY VOICE COMPLETELY!
For THREE MONTHS I could only whisper. I wrote notes to my family. I struggled to speak to my husband and children but I could not make myself be heard. I knew that my singing career was over and I wrote and told the other 2 ladies. I came to understand that subconsciously I did not want to wander away from my husband and children. They were everything to me!! I did NOT want to spend even more time working on a concert "For the glory of God" while my family felt my presence and my love less and less.
So I began my departure from organized religion. My voice and joy came back over time but I had come to see how organized religion sucks the life out of people and out of families. This program and that song may be nice but it does NOT have to be done by ME.
Children need their parent's lives devoted to them when they are little. During those voicless months, I hugged and kissed my babies more than ever before. Our family began to heal. I began to heal. When my voice finally returned full strength, I devoted my time to teaching my children how to sing well. Later we branched into instruments a little bit.
We will be home churching for 25 years this November. We rest on the Sabbath. We spend time with our family--quality time and fun time. We know that organized religion is a thief of family time. IT STEALS FROM THE FAMILY AND FOR WHAT???????
Now I'm going to switch gears to an even more sinister part of organized religion and that is abuse. Much is being done now to end child sexual abuse and I have hopes that the Trump Administration will put an end to it entirely. However, it was not spoken of when I was young.
Perhaps the incest I lived with at home, made me more likely to be hit upon. I don't have any statistics about that. I do know that three separate pastors tried to sexually molest me when I was young. One was so strong he was nearly successful, but I cried out to God, and an angel must have broken his grip on my arms. His wife was in their camper not 30 feet away and we were in the chapel.
Something awful happens to you when you are raped by a relative. Something equally awful happens to you when a PREACHER tries to rape you!!!!!!! It really messes with your thinking about yourself and especially about God!
I went in search of some form of help for my readers should this be in your past. I found this wonderful resource just now that I hope you will ponder. I may take her course in order to better help those who have been sexually abused in the context of church/religion. Apparently it happens more than I had realized at first due to my having had such a loving church when I was growing up.
If this is something you cannot relate to at all, that is WONDERFUL!! Please keep this resource available, though, in case someone you know may be in need of this help.
If abuse of any kind has come into your life through a church experience, PLEASE spend some time at Connie Baker's website. I really felt comfortable with her as I watched this video. I pray for you to find healing, and eventually peace, by knowing that God was there with you helping you through it!!
It grieves me terribly when people are abused in church. I've had a pastor practically yank my arm off when I said something he didn't like. I've been shunned in church for switching from wearing blue jeans to dresses when Father asked me to. We were called "Communists" in our church when we obeyed God's request to home school our children.
The worst thing about all of this, in my opinion, is that it gives God a bad name. When religious leaders abuse people, people think that's how God is and it is NOT how God is. GOD IS LOVE!! When the abusive pastor's sheep follow his lead, there's no where to go but to leave with your fresh wounds. Where do you go? Where in organized religion can you go and be safe?
Our family has found no such place. Very few people can handle the power given to them as a religious leader without it going to their heads. Abuse is soon to follow. May God-led home fellowships spring up all over the world. May they be small so everyone knows that they are valued. May they be places where people can heal from all of the religious abuse they've endured.
May you heal!
That is my prayer!!

PS If you are blessed by what Connie Baker says on this video, I would urge you to go to her website:
It's a new week and it's going to be a great one!!! I don't have time now to tell you about the incredible freeing experience Father led me through last week but I will soon. I'd like to do a little research on the phenomenon before I share what happened to me. Let's just say that it was a miracle!
This morning I was reading this prophecy on THE ELIJAH LIST and I got excited for all of you followers of the Lord out there. Perhaps my freeing experience is only one of many around the globe that Father is sending. Perhaps yours is coming any day now?
I would encourage you, as you read this, to say to the Lord, "Yes, I receive this freedom from oppression!" He IS moving in a powerful way during this election year. Sure the mainstream media is painting a bleak picture but that's what they do. Their goal is to keep the people living in fear and they've done a pretty good job of it this year.
The one verse that has sustained me all of these years is 2 Timothy 1:7 FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN ME THE SPIRIT OF FEAR BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND!!
Fear is not from God. Fear is from satan and his creepies. God's Holy Spirit living in us fills us with power, love, and a sound mind!! All we need to do is get quiet with God and ask for His help in dealing with everything that is bringing us low.
Please read this prophecy and receive it as a love letter from Heaven. Look for the good that God is doing in this tumultuous time called COVID 19.
Lots of love,
Dawn
"Pressure Before the Promise"
Lana Vawser, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
I was preparing to minister to a group recently, and one of the words the Lord gave me for them was, "It is PRESSURE before the PROMISE."
As I sat with the Lord, the Lord spoke to me that this word was not just for many in the group, but many in the Body of Christ. The Lord has given many of you a specific promise that He has said is going to manifest now, in this time; and as many of you have positioned yourselves in faith and begun to walk by faith in these promises, it seems that all Hell has broken loose over your promise.
The truth is, the enemy is coming at your promise with blazing fury; he's terrified of you receiving and stepping into this promise because of what it signifies.
The Lord showed me that this is indeed a kairos season and this is the APPOINTED TIME for the NEW LIFE—the NEW LIFE of His promise being received and manifested—and the enemy doesn't like it. The Lord showed me that this intense pressure, which the enemy has been bringing upon many on every side, has been more intense than anything you have walked in in quite a long time. The enemy is trying to squeeze you out of your promise but the truth is, you are moving through the narrow way, the birthing canal, into receiving your promise.
The Lord spoke to me and said, "It is the pressure before the promise." The pressure is an indicator that the promise is upon you.
The Promise Fulfilled Symbolizes More Than You Realize
I heard the Holy Spirit say, "The promise fulfilled symbolizes more than you realize."
This promise the Lord has given you, and you receiving this promise and stepping into it, symbolizes more than just the receiving of what the Lord has said; He also showed me that the PROMISE IS A TRUMPET.
When I asked the Lord, "Lord, why is the promise a trumpet?" He said, "It is a trumpet because it is HERALDING; a shift of a completely new era in the lives of My people." (Photo via nellis.af.mil)
The reason there is such contention over this promise is because there is going to be an activation that is going to take place in the spirit, and it is going to happen in the manifestation of the promise. I heard the Holy Spirit say that the receiving of this promise is tied to your ASSIGNMENT and your DESTINY.
The Lord showed me that when you step into the receiving and manifestation of the promise in the natural, this will signal a shift into a new realm of your destiny.
The Lord is going to activate and open up a whole new realm of revelation and moving in His Spirit as you step into it. The Lord also showed me that in the receiving of this promise, there will not only be the promise fulfilled in the natural, but that there will be new mantles that are going to fall upon you in that time.
The manifestation of the promise is a promise fulfilled in the natural, but it is also a trumpet heralding a new era upon you, as His child, to move with Him into new things, new pathways, new mantles and new anointings. That's WHY the enemy is raging like mad, because he's furious and does NOT want you to move into the place of occupying and inheriting; and he especially does not want you moving into new realms of your destiny that are closely connected to this promise fulfilled, whether you know it yet or not.
Major Deliverance, Healing and Wholeness
The Lord showed me that in the receiving of this promise of the Lord in its manifestation, there is major deliverance, healing and wholeness taking place.
Many of you have been dealing with areas of your life where the enemy continues to come in and attack and attempt to crumble you and intimidate you. There has been a spirit of witchcraft that has come against many of you over and over and over again, and it continues to come in different ways to steal from you, attempting to stop you from moving into your assigned times and seasons with the Lord.
The Lord showed me the enemy coming with his old tricks, old ways, old strategies, and he coming in such a way that is "twisting" and "attempting to confuse." But the Lord is saying that there is such a major deliverance, healing and wholeness that is going to happen simultaneously in the receiving of this promise manifested. This spirit of witchcraft has continued to push "buttons" in the lives of many Believers, causing them to feel like they continue to "come under" the effect and oppression of this spirit, but God is healing His people, removing the oppression, and delivering them.
The Lord showed me that many of you have been assaulted by a spirit of witchcraft for many years, and others of you have faced it your whole lives. Some of you have recognized it while others haven't, but there has been a battle with this demonic spirit for a very long time. The Lord is not only bringing you above this attack, now, in teaching you how to stand against it—and bringing a shift within in the manifested promise, with major healing, deliverance and wholeness—but He is also raising up the WARRIOR within you like never before!(Photo via Piqsels)
The Warrior Within
This spirit has come after you and assaulted you for so long, but now the Lord is going to use you to WAGE WAR against this spirit of witchcraft. Your victory won't be through you going out looking for it or chasing it down, but through your obedience to the Lord and operating in the gifting, anointing and strategy of the Lord. He will use you to come against this demonic spirit of witchcraft, uncovering and exposing its operation in others' lives and places. You will see the Holy Spirit move through you to bring radical deliverance to others who have been mightily affected by this demonic spirit.
The pressure has been intense. The onslaught of this witchcraft attack has been heavy. There's been much pressure, but focus not on what the enemy is doing. Lift up your eyes, for where does your help come from? It comes from the Maker of Heaven and Earth (Psalm 121). Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Listen past the noise of the pressure the enemy has been placing upon you and HEAR THE SOUND OF THE PROMISE. Hear the sound of the NEW LIFE coming forth.
This is the hour! This is the day! This is the moment where that specific promise which the Lord has told you is for now is going to MANIFEST; it is IMMINENT and it symbolizes WAY more than you realize.
This promise is a TRUMPET heralding a NEW ERA upon you in your relationship and walk with the Lord, unlocking of a new realm of your destiny...for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).

A lot of bubbles are bursting all over the globe right now. Many of us in my country have had a pretty good life so far. I'm 62 years old and was raised in small town USA. Everyone that I knew belonged to a church and was somewhat active in it. I got a pretty good education in EPS--Eureka Public School--and I think that everyone else did too.
Apart from the incest in my home, I had an ok childhood. We lived on Lake Eureka. I could hear the water lapping on the shores at night in the Summer when it was a quiet night. I remember my family discussing over breakfast about the "Bad boys" who drove down our street too fast after 10:00 PM.
I'm not saying it was Mayberry. A lot of kids were experimenting with drugs and some even slept together. It wasn't terribly unusual to go to school on Monday mornings and hear all the talk about who gave Mary that hickey over the weekend.
There was alcoholism in a number of homes including one of my best friend's. I never saw her dad except when he was passed out. Her mom worked and fed the family. This situations was by far NOT the norm in my little town of 1,200 people named Eureka, South Dakota.
Kids walked home after school by themselves, with siblings, or with neighbors. We all stomped in the leaves together at the start of the school year; went sledding on the big hill all Winter; and broke the ice in the gutters on our way to school in the Spring. We were kids.
We had 1 television with 2 channels. We had 1 phone for 6 people. We had 1 dinky bathroom with a shower and a stool. We washed and took baths until too big to fit in the big hand sink in the kitchen. We learned to read early and everyone had a library card.
There were no wars as I grew up. All of the kids in town went to school. All of the dads except a few "Bums" went to work every day and most of the moms stayed home; gardened; and made fresh bread and buns for their growing families.
Everyone had at least 1 dog and several cats. Children learned responsibility by taking care of the pets. We all played together in the streets until the street light turned on or someone's mom yelled for their children to come in for bed. THIS REALLY HAPPENED!!
People respected their parents; their teachers; the librarian; the doctor; the police man; the preacher. Children were taught to be kind to the garbage man because he performed a very useful talk. Our family had a milk man bring us fresh milk from his dairy a few miles out of town. We had it good!
Somewhere along the line, criminals took over our country and the world. I remember coming home from school the day that our President, John, F. Kennedy, had been murdered. Our whole town wept as he "Was a good one." Further, fear became a reality for us all. If someone could kill the President, who would be safe?
As I grew older, my interest in natural health care became a blessing as I never had a strong healthy body due to all of the abuse. Today I am an alternative care practitioner helping people with all sorts of problems. It makes me gag as I ponder how I have been slandered, ridiculed, and mocked for my service to others.
I used to think that people were just close-minded. Then I learned about the many murders of alternative doctors and began to see that the medical system has it's own protective device called "Big pharma." I pray often for safety as I work to free the captives of the drug and surgery obsessed system that has emerged since my childhood.
Of course I am grateful for my chiropractor; my naturopathic doctor; my massage therapist, my Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner all who help to diminish the pain of MS. I am not so blind as to think that all doctors are bad.
Along comes COVID 19 and the world falls apart. I listened to the Corona Virus Task Force every day for weeks trying to discern the truth about what a person's chances are of surviving it. That was a pretty tough call. I knew that we wouldn't be wanting any vaccine from Big Pharma. In my work, I spend a lot of time repairing the damages that vaccines do to people--especially to babies.
Then President Trump started talking about hydroxychloroquine. I don't use drugs in my practice but I think that's how it's spelled. When the press started mocking our President, as they like to do, then I knew it was a good thing. I still prefer natural substances to build up the immunity of the body, but this drug has saved LOTS of lives.
So, getting back to bubbles breaking for folks. There's no easy way to say it but doctors who are in alignment with Big Pharma are NOT concerned about helping you. Further, they don't want ANYBODY to help you! Hence this video seemed like a good thing to share.
These are all doctors who have had success saving people's lives with HCQ in combination with zinc and another drug I can't remember the name of. Actually I haven't listened to this whole talk as I wanted to get to sharing it with you all so you can possibly watch it yet tonight. However, it was very interesting to hear that they have NEVER been censored for prescribing a drug until now. Some have been threatened if the prescribe it for people in attempts to save lives! HOW CRAZY IS THAT???
So, I warned you, this will not be pleasant to watch if you still have your bubble world protecting you. Just breathe through it and know that God does NOT want massive numbers of people dying form COVID 19 even if others do want that. Aren't you glad that HE'S in charge?
There are good doctors! I praise God for that! May the all have the courage that these 9 have and start giving the remedy that the world needs to conquer COVID 19 and get back to confidence in our body's ability to conquer with our incredible immune systems.
Here's to health and to hope. May you all have LOTS of both.
Then He said, "Many of My ones who are pioneering the new era Church are going to be given chariot wheels of fire!" When He spoke that I could see it in a vision before me—Holy Ghost fire coming from the mouths of those who have been prepared for such a time as this. I knew that many had long awaited and were born for this time of revival. I could see fire that had been shut up in their bones for years finally coming forth with great passion, accuracy and power manifested. (Photo via Pixabay)
I grew up hearing Whip-poor-wills as a kid. Still to this day, I live in the country and it's a sound I thoroughly enjoy. Even though the Whip-poor-wills I heard as a kid are not the same Whip-poor-wills that I hear today, they still make the same familiar sound. It makes me think of the sound of John the Baptist crying in Mark 1:3, "...Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!" That was the cry of John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus.

A couple significant things happened on this weekend of October, 2018:
2. We need to pray for influencers. Kanye West is the first fruits of those that are going to come back into their "right minds" and use their platform to make Jesus known. We know that so many of the top names in music grew up in the Church (Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Katy Perry, etc.). I believe they are going to be coming home, one by one, as God's people pray! The structure of Babylon over them is falling! (Photo via Flickr)
When I awoke that morning, and lightning was still crashing outside, my spirit could feel the intensity of Heaven and such a shift in the atmosphere. It was as if Heaven had gone into warrior-mode as the sons and daughters began to rise in power! I believe the Lord has sent out higher ranking angels to accompany those with bigger assignments. (Photo via Wallpaper Flare)
I prophesy to you that from this day forward, every place you are sent God will send armies of angels with you to help you on your assignments. I declare that signs, wonders and miracles will follow you every place you walk into. I prophesy that all the traps set for you will backfire on the enemy! (Photo via Pikist)
