From the Muck to the Mighty; My Journey with Jesus

  Warfare, it's one of those words that can hit you different ways. Some think of warfare, they look in the mirror, they armor up and they walk this out. Others think of warfare as a constant battle, something that drags them two steps back when they take one step forward. I'd have to admit that as much as I am in, and want to remain in that first category, I often find my mind and my emotions bombarded and tempted to pull my mindset into that second group. Over the last few months I've found myself in that second group on more than one occasion. This past weekend, I traveled to a ministry event that ended up bringing me the exact clarity and breakthrough that I needed. It just happened to come from a literal choke hold from the devil when I came back home Saturday night.  Brace yourselves, here is your warning this is a long one.   Those of you that have followed my blog over the last three years remember how intense my visions were, how my experiences have all been...

The Lord is pouring through and coming for His misfits. The small churches, the misunderstood, the hidden prophets, the closet lovers. His hidden treasures are about to be revealed, and are coming to transform and reshape the next generation of Christianity.  During prayer the Lord showed me a gorgeous coffee cup on a saucer that was caked in mud. The Lord began pouring His Spirit into this cup. As His living water was poured out, years of hardened, caked on dirt were breaking away and washing out of this cup.  The Lord reminded me that this is what it's like when new Christians come to Christ. They're excited, they're alive with living water breaking them free from the sins and filth of the past; but as they are being cleansed this filth has to come out. We need mature mothers and fathers in Christ that can help them navigate this process. We need leaders that are free from offense, from competition and jealousy, free from judgement and that are prepared to welcome wounded...

There’s something wondrous in the way the Lord works in the lives of His children. I never get tired of it. This Sunday our congregation came together at the altar just like a vision I had in the church years ago. Deliverance broke out at the altar, everyone was coming together and ministering together as the body of Christ. It was this Holy Spirit moment of “finally!” It was like something finally broke open on another level, in the Spirit, in that church. I stood there in shock and in awe that the Lord would use me this way at the altar of my own home church; as screams of freedom broke out during prayer following Pastor Harry’s message and call for a prayer line. Lord Jesus you are so amazing! Prophecy is contingent upon your obedience to what the Lord is calling you to do. I saw this prophetic vision for our church years ago. It was like I was there. Every once in a while it would drive me crazy that it hadn’t come to pass yet. It was hard to wait for the Lords timing. Between then...
