AL-TN Children Go Where I Send Thee

WARRIOR, ALABAMA

Above: The white mushy stuff on the left is grits (tasty). The white mushy stuff on the right is "gravy". No, thank you. 

    Destination accomplished. I imagined showing up showered and in Sunday best for church but alas, not an option. I set out to find breakfast and figured I'd aim to return by 8am. With service starting at 10:45am, I was sure I would find an opportunity to serve and meet people involved in the ministry. This would be the first of many, many biscuits I would encounter. 

Believe in Yahweh your God, and you will be established; 

believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.

~2 Chronicles 20:20b

    When I returned to the church, two people had already arrived and were waiting on line. They were from Alabama and come every week from about 1hr away. As the time grew closer, an ever increasing line grew and wrapped around the church. I was told that just about every week visitors have come from New York. People come from all over to receive the anointing and listen to the proven prophet Robin D. Bullock, his wife and pastor Robin and their ministering team. There were people I met from Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Texas and Tennessee. All come to hear a tried and true modern day prophet that walks humbly and speaks the truth in love.

    I had a few hours to kill. It was cold, so I left my bag at the front and walked into the sun where I was able to chat with folks from all over. I was told of movements of God happening all over the states. We prayed together and the Holy Spirit dropped. I blew the shofar at the lowest vibration I can make, a sound of healing over a woman who needed just that, a healing. Two beautiful words were spoken over me that I will cherish:

1. You have eyes like Jesus. (humbled and deeply moved by this)
2. You have a "lean back" spirit about you where you go where God leads, following where He says to go (I'm pretty sure this was preparing me for the next leg of this adventure, instilling courage in me)

    Here's a peek inside the church...

    I was able to get a seat on the aisle so I could worship freely. My finger is pointing to where I sat. 

    It felt a little congested to break out the flags so I danced without them and sang my little heart out. At the end of service, a gentleman thanked me and said my dancing greatly blessed him. He placed a big financial blessing in my hand. I cried tears of gratitude. He told me he wasn't the only one. That someone else had placed another financial blessing in my bag. 

    The power of the Holy Spirit in that room was so thick Robin D. Bullock said he saw fog. There was a guest speaker named Nancy Alcorn and she spoke on behalf of her ministry called "Mercy Multiplied". They take in broken women and help them FREE OF CHARGE. The girls must want to be there. Please donate, pray, read the success stories, and spread the news of this amazing program that is located in numerous states, as well as oversees. See website: www.mercymultiplied.com The love of God that she shared for these girls and God's hand upon it is truly moving.

    At the end of service, I stayed for prayer...which took quite some time. They start with the people that weren't fortunate enough to sit inside (very nice) and ended with the best seats, which is where I was. I had met a lovely woman of 85yrs old that searched to give me a word from God. When she asked if it sounded about right to me, I was honest and said no. Then she paused and it was right. She said, "move and God will move. Just keep moving." I knew that was from God. She let me pray for her and she teared up, as the spirit of the Lord moved on her. 

   My flesh was crushed because I had anticipated learning much and staying longer. There was no opportunity to serve or to attend any church events during the week. I proved a blessing to a few that I prayed for and ministered to and that made me feel good. Sitting in my truck, prayer warrior Mark who leads the Tuesday night prayers online checked to see if I was ok and told me he'd keep me in their prayers. I appreciate them immensely. He also searched to give me the right word from God but I knew I did was God asked, I came. But as dusk encroached, I knew it was time to move on. 

VA-AL Just Get to the Blessing.

VIRGINIA

    An easy morning spent with my high school buddy and back on the road through the beautiful fall foliage of Virginia.

OOLTEWAH, TENNESSEE

    I was eager to get a nature break, so I was seeking some trails. I felt lead to get off at an exit in Ooltewah, close to Chattanooga. I didn't find any trails close to the exit but I was led to pull over at the gas mart, somewhat like the one below. There was a very heavy, dark spirit that hung over that place. Walking into the mart, there was a man staring me down on a motorcycle with the teardrop under his eye (sign for murder in gangs). 

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

~2 Timothy 1:7

    Inside, I found two men grumbling loudly about all the injustice in their lives. I prayed in tongues quietly on the other side of the aisle. When they spoke against Jesus, I gently walked over and looked into the eyes of what I believe to be a satanist and told them whatever they had heard, Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. They clearly looked possessed and the one man wore a shirt with 2 devils on it. The power of God was so strong on me, I knew no demon had a chance. Leaving, the same sheriff car at the pump was still there when I had arrived. I got the feeling he was not there to protect the people. 

    I returned to my car and waited for the sheriff to leave. I broke out my shofar and got my best friend on the phone to do warfare. She could feel the heaviness over the phone. During the warfare, there was a mentally ill man who wanted to know what was going on. He professed to love Jesus and he let me pray for him and do deliverance on him. Praise the Lord. We warred until we felt a shift.

KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE

    Back on the highway, I kept my eyes open for the next hiking opportunity. I followed signs for a park but instead wound up at this beautiful horse ranch. There I met Stacy and Eddie from Ohio. They go to a church that evangelist Mario Murillo frequents! Stacy graduated from my alma mater SUNY Fredonia. Loving Jesus, they had no problem accepting prayer. They needed a fresh wind. We joined together and asked God for an increase of FIRE!! This was one of those beautiful God winks, where I "randomly" wound up down a secluded backwoods road only to find fellow lovers of Christ with mutual connections. The perfect anecdote for encouragement on the road, especially needed after the previous battle over darkness. 

    Then...I finally found "Warriors' Path State Park" where there was a trail called "Devil's Backbone". 'Oh no you don't!', I thought. The devil has no backbone and I'm going to pray over this trail and rename it! So I called up my aunt and we blew our shofars together and prayed before the journey. A couple heard the blast and when they saw me on the trail they asked about the sound. Again, the theme of fresh wind and fire arose. They were avid church goers but had grown complacent. 

    A beautiful metaphor for God's sacrifice came to me while on the hike. A red trail marker represented Satan's mark of human sacrifice. My wrist on the marker represented the blood from His ultimate sacrifice, destroying the plans of the enemy.  

Our sins are washed away and we are made clean because Christ gave His own body as a gift to God. He did this once for all time.

~Hebrews 10:10

    The devil's back was broke that day and the new (unofficial) name is "Jesus' Way". The beauty of God's miracle that day was reflected in this awe inspiring lake at the base of the trail.

When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them] exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through the cross.

~Colossians 2:15

    Nothing is more invigorating than doing the work of the Lord. Fighting in the spiritual realm can be draining and not understood by the majority of the population; however, it is also highly rewarding. Not in a way where you receive acclamation from the world but rather in a closeness to God. A closeness that reveals a deep seated peace and an ever deepening reliance on the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that supersedes anything and everything that this world can provide.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

~Matthew 6:19-20

WARRIOR, ALABAMA 

    And like that back on the road, eager to get to Warrior, Alabama. Now it was getting dark and I was eager to get to my final destination: Church International! I stopped at the gas station and had my first true southern welcome. This beautiful woman (wish I could remember her name) greeted me after hours of driving with a big hello. When I told her I have never tried boiled peanuts, she scooped up a healthy portion and offered them to me, free of charge! ...unfortunately, i couldn't eat but one they tasted terrible to me. We both laughed.

    It wasn't too long before I finally made it to the church. It was about 9pm and I was exhausted. There were hotels located about 45 minutes north or south but I decided to sleep in the back of the truck with the sleeping bags I packed. It was frigid!! Apparently the south is very cold at night, who knew? I got about 2hrs sleep but it's better than nothing!

    Saving grace??? Porta potties!!!! This was a game changer. PRAISE THE LORD.

PRAYER POINTS:

While driving, there were many things being discerned in the spirit. I tried to write some down along the way. See the link for 50 States PRAYER GUIDE for more in-depth prayer points.

TN - KKK, white supremacy, alcoholism, vengeance, depression, anger, sacrifices, satanism,                 gambling, sexual perversion, loneliness, murder, hopelessness

NY-VA: Pack It and Go!

November 4-6, 2021

"Teacher, what good must I do to have eternal life?" 

Jesus told him only One is good and to keep the commandments. 

"I have kept all these, what do I still lack?"

Jesus replied "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your belongings...then come, follow Me."

-Matthew 19:16-21

    That story has haunted me for some time. I believe God was preparing me to lay it all down and follow Him. This story intertwined with a vision of Peter Simon and Andrew putting down their nets IMMEDIATELY to follow Jesus. "So what is taking me so long?" I would think to myself. I knew He wanted all of me. I just didn't know what it looked like. Sell my home? Quit working? Where would I go? I didn't know but I knew He was preparing me. 

NEW YORK to NEW JERSEY

     Thursday after work, the idea of going to Warrior Alabama was gnawing at my insides. "When?", God? I was waiting for a clear sign. I didn't want to act outside of His will. I had been telling my boss about my "plans" but neither of us knew when it would happen. Fortunately, she loves Jesus and is extremely open and flexible. I told her I thought it would be soon. When we sat down to talk, the "plan" started formulating quickly and I realized that God was calling me NOW. 

    The wheels were in motion. I went home and packed haphazardly, not knowing how long I'd be gone for or what the foreseeable weather would be. I did my best to prepare the garden for winter and that was it. Big Red was ready to go! I headed off to my best friend's house to pray up and get a family blessing.

    GPS said the trip would take about 16-17hrs, so I knew I'd have to stop half way. I left around 5am and made it to Virginia by about 12noon. Every state was greeted with a sound of the shofar, warfare in the spiritual realm and prayers to pave the way for a returned nation to Christ. 

STOP at PENNSYLVANIA

    Having left in a hurry, I wasn't able to catch up on an oil change so I searched out a Jiffy Lube. My review: not the best option. Super expensive and they want to tack on a zillion other things to your service. Upside: Dunkin' Donuts next door where I was able to minister to Andy. He comes in with masking tape on his glasses, disheveled and short changed. Offering to pay what he needed, I asked him to sit with me. Apparently, he had given his life to Jesus but lost hope along the way (one of many that I would come upon). He allowed me to pray for him and speak hope into his life. Praise the Lord, he left with a smile and a pocket full of hope :) 

PENNSYLVANIA to VIRGINIA

    When I arrived in Virginia, it was a gorgeous day and I thought it best to be outside but I was drawn to the caves! I had never seen one before and there was a tour happening soon so I took advantage the opportunity. I was in awe of God's endless beauty, imagination and ability. Rushing waters carved out these spectacular mazes beneath the earth. Although there existed pools of water, the majority of this cave was bone dry. Sounds stopped dead in their tracks and when the lights were turned off, there was a stillness so profound it was incredible. 

"Be still and know that I am God"

    ~Psalm 46:10

    From there, I was blessed to meet up with my high school buddy who turned her home into a lavish food forest with fruit trees, berries, plants and even goats! Below is a view inside a greenhouse on the side of her home that she built herself using reclaimed wood, including old windows.

    Who knew my friend would be able to host me at such short notice? Surely God did. He is my Jehovah Jireh, my Provider. If He's shown me once, He's shown me a thousand times and in this journey, He is just beginning to show off. 

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable they they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

    ~Matthew 10: 26-27

The Gathering

On Saturday, October 16, 2021 an epic event occurred.

     The Lord was cooking up something very special. A covert event in which a limited amount of tickets was distributed. On the last day to sign up, I heard about the event from a friend and was able to obtain tickets for myself, my best friend, and my aunts. 

    We didn't know exactly what to expect but we knew it would be powerful. We knew that the prophets we had been watching online would be attending and that we would be praying for NY. That was more than enough! 

    It seemed everything God was teaching me about warfare in the supernatural was coming to a climax! There are few words to express just how moving it is to "gather" with others who yearn to understand God and fight for his kingdom on earth with such authority and unity!!

The special speakers were:

Delora & Denis O'Brien

Amanda Grace

Robin D. Bullock and their whole ministry

Here's a YouTube follow up with the prophets: https://youtu.be/UQ5nhiLrbK0 

    The true warrior was awakened in me and there was no turning back! It wouldn't be long before God was calling me to leave everything I knew behind and follow Him alone.
