I’ve wanted to blog more about this weekend but I don’t really know where to start. My heart breaks for the lukewarm church, for the lukewarm Christians that don’t know the Holy Spirit. It breaks for the churches that are dead. It breaks for the souls that won’t be saved simply from their pride, arrogance, and inability to recognize the demonic influence over this earth. As a seer, I’m well aware of the darkness that lurks in the shadows of your anger, your anxiety, your frustration, your fighting, your division, your sickness, pain, isolation, addictions, suicidal thoughts etc.
I also see what the Lord put in each and every one of us. All different, all gifted, all chosen for such a time as this. I see the beauty in the person you just flipped off. I see the anger and pain behind the Facebook comment arguments. I see the loneliness, abuse and rejection behind the troll, or the fear and control behind the Karen. Yet what I don’t see, is the ability for us to look past the flaws of others to see the beauty in their spirits. They’re just as loved as you or I. We all have our pasts. We all have our BC lives with hangups, sin, strongholds and bondage. We all have a savior that takes it all away, washes us clean and sets us on a new path. One with love, Grace, acceptance, passion, forgiveness, self control, kindness, glory, worship and a divine access to the presence of the Lord any time we choose to enter into it.
I want to shake everyone and say wake up! Just yesterday enough rain fell in moments to flood Morgantown, storms in other areas put down hail in 90 degree weather, thousands of people were without power, and yet we don’t consider the fact that God can be behind it, trying to get our attention? Wake up!
I was so blessed this weekend. Such an amazing presence of the Lord. Such a deep cries out to deep, iron sharpens iron experience. The entire weekend was phenomenal. I was introduced to Peter and Lori Whitehouse for the first time. Which was such a blessing to me. I was blown away that Kevin would ask Peter to pray for me, let alone the confirmation and impartation that I would receive from that short encounter.
Another older woman in the church came over to me during worship, and out of the blue asked about my thyroid and prayed for healing. I’d never met her and she would have never known that in the natural. Today I have more energy than ever and my sugar cravings are gone. You’ve been on this journey with me for almost two years now. These testimonies speak from my own experiences, but there is nothing I’m experiencing that the Lord wouldn’t do for you or greater. Are you willing to sit at the table with Jesus?
As we worshiped Saturday, I had a vision of a village, if you all watch the chosen, it’s similar to that. The air was dusty, the streets and floors were dirt, the windows were holes in the walls that appeared to be made of some type of plaster or hard clay mixed with rock. The house was small, only one room. In that room was a table. It was set for two. Just two plates, no silver ware, two chairs and a wooden table. The small table took up most of the room leaving about a foot around on each side. I turned to my left and looked out the window. The streets were busy, there was a town square I could see off in the distance. Many were gathered there, buying and selling, talking and mingling. I turned my attention back to the table. There Jesus was, sitting there calmly. He spoke to me in a gentle but firm manner. “You can be out there, or in here” my heart stopped for a moment. It broke me that there was only one seat at that table. My heart cry is for an endless table where the entire world can be seated. I’m blessed to have this time, this relationship with the Lord, but I desire so deeply that everyone else does too. Then the Lord put on my heart that it’s not up to me to make the table bigger, to set places for others, to arrange the room and make it welcoming for others to want to gather. It’s my job to sit at my table with Jesus. We all have our own tables. He’s omnipresent, He doesn’t neglect one to spend time with another. It’s my time to sit at the table. The rest will flow from there. Don’t ignore your invitation. It’s time to sit at the table. The crowds can wait.
Sunday morning broke my heart. The worship flowed so flawlessly. Peter gave a word that had me in tears, Rachel spoke out another, Wray gave one about the 99 and Jesus coming after all of us every single time we go astray. He mentioned that no matter how many times the Lord rescues us, He never beats us for going off course. He pulls us back in, He straightens our crowns and He embraces us with every bit of Him.
As the worship continued I felt the urge to kneel down. As I was kneeling with my head bowed for a moment, I felt like I got kicked or hit really hard in side of the face. I felt it like it really happened. I put my face to the floor and felt my hair get grabbed and pulled with such force that it jerked my neck and felt as if It was pulled out by the root. I felt hit in my sides, it felt like my breath was taken away and I couldn’t even think. I felt like I was being spit on, I heard yelling and mockery and felt this intense physical exhaustion. Then the physical pain faded completely away and my heart felt like it was shattered. I had such a pain in my heart and in my Spirit, this overflowing love for those who had inflicted this pain. This heart cry in my spirit that I can hardly describe with words. I can’t do that feeling justice. It was the heart cry of Jesus. His love poring out, His heart break for those who will lose their eternity because they are disconnected from Him. We can talk about the physical pain of the cross until we are blue in the face, but the pain that was really felt, was the pain of His love for those who turned their backs on Him. His heart cry that they all be with the Father in Heaven. That their spirits are sentenced to eternal damnation and torture, all because they fail to believe. He was right there walking in the flesh performing miracles, healing the sick and freeing people from demonic bondage, and they turned their backs on Him.
The Bible isn’t a bunch of words written by men. It’s a real life account of what was actually happening here on earth. It was written by the same Holy Spirit working through men that we have today living in US!!! (If you accept Him and invite Him in) Everyone wants a savior and to go to Heaven when they die but no one wants a Lord of their lives. No one wants to submit to authority, no one wants to abide by the laws that are the same yesterday, today and forever. We talk about everyone today wanting 15 dollars an hour with a 3 dollar an hour work ethic, how about we talk about those who want a ticket to Heaven while dancing with the devil in the process?! It’s time to take things seriously. It’s time to repent, to turn away from the world, to turn to Jesus and to focus on an eternity mindset. In a blink of an eye we are gone from this earth. You might not have that last minute chance to ask for forgiveness on your death bed. Do it now. Turn to Him now, sit at the table. Go where miracles, signs and wonders can be found. Go to the presence of the Lord. Let the Lord use you! I can assure you He will. I’m living proof of that! Bring it to your churches. Wake up the dead church, the lukewarm Christians and churches. YOU WILL BE SPIT OUT if you don’t.
He has a table prepared for YOU! Take a seat, find deliverance, find healing, and ignite the fire of the embers that have gone cold. He was beaten and crucified for us and we can’t even turn off the tv or put down our phones for Him!?
We can’t dust off our Bibles and spend 15 mins a day? It’s time to adjust your priorities, it’s time to take a seat!

John 19 ESV
Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him. 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. 3 They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. 4 Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” 6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.” 7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.” 8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid. 9 He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?” 11 Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.”
12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.” 13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” 15 They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” 16 So he delivered him over to them to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
So they took Jesus, 17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.”
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.
But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,
“They divided my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.”
So the soldiers did these things, 25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
The Death of Jesus
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Jesus' Side Is Pierced
31 Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35 He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”
Jesus Is Buried
38 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
