The Blue Tear

Expect the unexpected is what I have LEARNED to expect as a lead intercessor of prayer at different outreach events. During this time it is vitally important to LISTEN for the prompting of the Holy Spirit to read a scripture, or just BE QUIET. At the blink of an eye, the spiritual realm BECOMES visually active for me. I start to sense, see manifestations, or even smell odd odors that others may not be aware of.

I then need to get myself ready, for a HAPPENING that surely was about to take place soon. I knew to get serious, pray, and read the bible...and find scripture that would REVEAL and EXPLAIN what I was experiencing BEFORE I would share with the other intercessors. That is just the way the Lord GUIDES me.

Zechariah 4:6 (NIV) Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,says the Lord Almighty.

We were up in the balcony prayer room interceding for the workers sitting at tables below. A large group of people, myself included were there to be in constant prayer covering for the Hell House Halloween alternative presentation taking place below. People by the hundreds were being taken through reality scenes of life.Everyone was moved through various scenes that depicted an abortion scene, car crash, family abuse room, a party scene, and even school shootings. By the time one had gone through the last scene to see a tortured and bleeding Christ on the cross, many were uncontrollably sobbing. This is when you were given a choice to exit through the Heaven Door or the Hell Exit...The Heaven door brought you to a table of willing people to console you or answer any questions you may have. Through the Hell Exit, you just found yourself OUTSIDE and alone...a strange feeling...I had taken the tour, so this is what I know..

This was the first time that this outreach would take place at my home church..I had participated in it at many other locations prior to this night. I already knew some of the intercessors whom I had bonded with on many other occasions over the years. We knew the gift or gifts operating in each of us. At times we would call out one particular person to pray...because of that special gift of The Holy Spirit. Not all intercessors have the same gifts..to interpret, the speaking in tongues, dishearnment, the visual eyes to see, and the spiritual ears to hear...but all work together for the same purpose...to help free people from bondage..and give them hope.

The music ANNOUNCING the start of the event was playing...We all made ourselves comfortable. I got out my bible, notebook and sat on the floor. There was soothing praise music playing low that could be heard, but not overpowering. Some intercessors would sit on the floor and just pray face down. Others could be seen pacing back and forth silently, while others were verbablly praying. I was intent on just BEING ready for whatever did take place...

Weary actors and actresses would come up for prayer for strength to keep on participating. Others were brought in for prayer to be comforted. Some were brought in to be delivered from evil spirits that seemed to have control over their bodies,(deliverance). Sometimes people just wanted more of God to come into their lives. What ever the request was, we all tried to meet that need in personal prayer time with them.

We were now into several hours of prayer time when...I saw a vision of a HUGE BLUE TEAR Drop that seem to fall from the sky. I looked around and soon KNEW that I was the only one seeing this. I got my bible and begin to seek out the answer..The Holy Spirit placed into my thoughts... the word BREAK THROUGH...


Psalm 28:6 (NIV) Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy.

I then was instructed to leave the intercessory room and go sit in the top balcony and look down at the intercessors sitting at their tables below waiting for people to sit with them. It was then that I SMELLED this strong FOUL odor. I asked, "Lord, what is that smell? He replied, GENERATIONAL CURSES." I then remembered the bible study that a close friend and I had done on fragrances that exposed certain spirits, good or bad...That will be another story for later...

The Lord then instructed me to go back into the intercessory prayer room and share this revelation with the others...I did so. I was to tell them that there was an invisable wall up BETWEEN the downstair intercessors that was keeping them from reaching the hurting people who would sit at their table...It was if their words and efforts were bouncing back and not GETTING through to the person sitting directly in front of them. We needed to pray for BREAKTHROUGH.. I then shared the Blue Tear Drop vision with them...

Shortly after my sharing this info, the downstair intercessors came up and asked for prayer describing what was happening to them...just as I had said. We prayed...and later...a praise report was brought to us...There had been a total BREAKTHROUGH and people were getting saved and now coming up to us for prayer...God is always ready to reveal himself to us. If we ask for his help, He will show up...

A recent revelation to this story...was The cry for Mercy was our cry...but the blue tear drop was God's mercy drop for our situation...He's a big God...and that surely was a big tear...

Bluebird Singing

There are many definitions of the word ROOT. Webster's Dictionary defines it as the following:  It absorbs moisture, stores food, and also serves as an anchor and support/fundamental or essential part/the original CAUSE of something.....

Most of us are familiar with the phrase "Money is the root of all evil" It's not the actual money, but the greed to have it that may causes it to become evil. The more we have, the more we want, and therefore sometimes we can make wrong choices to use it. Our past literally controls our future IF we let it.

Imagine a huge Live Oak tree...how strong it APPEARS to be..then visualize the size of what it's roots must look like BENEATH the soil that is HOLDING it firmly planted..It takes years to get to the size of a full grown HEALTHY tree. It started from a small acorn. It had to weather many seasons of growth.. On the other hand, the Water Oak APPEARS to be just as big, strong and well rooted, but it is not. It can be uprooted easier, BECAUSE it's roots are not as strong or as deep as the Live Oak to protect it from a mighty wind. The Live Oak may lose a few branches, but most of the time it will remain standing. The Water Oak can be seen most of the time laying on it's side and totally uprooted after a strong storm. I have seen these massive trees with hardly any roots at all. It is amazing to me that they can even stand at all with such a small root system.

Good roots are important in our lives. We have to rid ourselves of the bad roots, in order to have a healthier future. I had many roots of unforgiveness in my life that needed to be done away with. The following is my story.... 

I am married to a chronic complainer. His only conversation is COMPLAINTS. I loved him anyway for many years, after all I wasn't perfect either. For years I listened to this. I just pretended that I was alright. I soon began to realize that I was becoming  more and more bitter toward my husband.  This was not the normally nice sweet me. I didn't like what was happening. I could literally hear a wall go up..CHA CHING each time that he would fuss over petty unimportant things. Then one night as we laid down to go to sleep, the following happened...

  I was on my back, wide awake and SUDDENLY it was like a vine had come out of the bed and was now binding my feet, then my waist and last of all my arms. There was no fear. I asked "Lord, what is this? What is happening?" That still small voice replied "This is the roots of UNFORGIVENESS. Do you want to KEEP punishing each other like this?" I replied "No" and the vines released their hold on me. 

A couple weeks later a friend and I were walking down the gravel road that ran in front of my grandmother's house looking for pine cones. All sizes could be seen laying on the edges of the road. We could pick and choose which ones to keep. We had our noses to the ground and soon had walked a far distance from our starting point gathering our treasures. Then.........

  I heard the most beautiful singing of a bird nearby. WHERE was the melody coming from? There was a small brown bird sitting on a branch just singing and singing all ALONE. My eyes saw and my ears heard were the JOYFUL noise that it was producing. I then noticed all of these UGLY vines all over the tree. It was as if the vines were TRYING to squeeze the every ounce of life out of the tree. This little bird seemed to be so happy and singing. The tree on the other hand, looked lifeless and SAD. Then I looked down.....

About 2 feet from the base of the tree were large dark roots that had come OUT of the ground rose up and then changed direction to go back to the tree. They were now wrapped around the base, and now trying to vine it's way back to the top. It looked like a nest of ROLLING SNAKES fighting each other to finish off the LIFE of the tree. The bird could have chosen another tree, but it chose this sad, lifeless tree..to serenade with it's beautiful song...

    He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.   PSALM 39:4  (NIV)

The Blue Bird of happiness can be heard singing a new song in my life these days. God revealed the destructive roots of unforgiveness that were planted in my life. He then handed me the tool to destroy them.. (Knowlege and understanding) He then showed me how to let go of the bitterness and then GO ON.

The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.  MATTHEW 3:4 (NIV)

Changing of the Wind

I was in the office of my boss WHEN I heard a baby crying. I stopped posting figures for our books to tune in closer to listen...I got up from my chair and then proceded to go check out the other side.There wasn't anyone but me in the building. I said "Lord, I know that you will give me the meaning to this WHEN it is your timing. I went back and continued to work.

There were no more sounds to be heard. I later went downstairs to visit with the landlord. I asked them if their grandchildren had come to vist. The answer was no. I told them that I had heard a baby cry...Now the baby didn't sound like it was in pain, or mad...just a sudden cry..like the FIRST cry of life at BIRTH.. I shared this info with our staff members. They just listened and didn't comment. What could they say? They didn't hear the baby cry, only me...

There's a noticable SHIFTING in our everyday lives these days. Families are rearranging their priorities to stretch the household budget. Businesses are cutting down in any way possible to try just hang on until the economy picks up. This is when we truly understand the definition of the word RECESSION. There is plenty of everything, we just CAN'T buy because of lack of funds. My employer has done everything he had to, to be able just to keep the busy flowing.I know that always gives God his due. He NEVER fails to short change His Reverance for God...He is known to say "I am a Jesus Man" when put into awkward situations..God will always honor those who STAND when it is hard to do so...physically and spiritually. I know that there are alot of people out there asking "How are we going to make it in SUCH TIMES AS THESE?"

ROMANS 8:28 (NIV) And we know in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

There have been alot of trying TESTS in my life and others lately, we all have strived to keep our faith in tact. I believe that "With God all things Are possible" and that he will always come through for us in His perfect Timing.

On Wednesday June 24th, 2009 The Lord whispered "There will be a changing of the tide". I was to share that with my boss. I did and a couple of days later, he shared with me the meaning the the Lord gave him personally for it. I was truly blessed.

Everything is CONTROLLED by God...the moon, the sun, the tide, the winds...our lives...IF WE LET HIM BE IN CONTROL OF IT...

MARK 4:41 (NIV) They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"

On Thursday June 25th, 2009 The Lord whispered, "There will be winds of change".
The revelation came the next day through this scripture.

EPHESIANS 4:14 (NIV) Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.

A few week back, boss and his wife were checking our offices on the other top half of our building complex when.........I noticed that he had come to a sudden stop...and seemed to be frozen in place..He had this LOOK on his face. I asked him if he was alright, and he then said "Yes, but I thought that I had heard a baby cry." He then motioned where he thought it had come from...His wife must not have heard it, because she was still busy checking the offices...I knew that he had heard THE CRY because I had heard it myself another time...I had not told him...prior to his experience...

The separate busisnesses were confirmed on Friday June 26th, 2009 to all of us..

Saturday June 27th, 2009..early mid morning...The Lord gave me this final revelation to this story.

WHEN I had heard the baby cry, I was in his office. He had heard the baby cry on the opposite other half of our top floor. The two female employess stationed on that side, have now chosen to branch off on their own. A completely new business has been BIRTHED on the side that my boss had heard the baby cry...Praise to God. We will all continue to work together helping each other, but as individual business owners..God is awesome. He definitely had a good plan for everybody...His way, not ours...

We have prayed, waited and trusted God TOGETHER in the past, and now we will see the FRUITS of our works start to manifest..(happen) When you strive to serve God, He never forgets what you have done for Him. After all, it was in His plan from the beginning..

When we are out of God's will...we are just chasing the wind...but with God........and you know the rest of the story...It's in the bible..

Big Man/ Little Man

This story is created and written with dreams and revelations of this week. I am not your regular dreamer of dreams..I recently have begun to pray..."Lord let me not dream anything that is not of you." These dreams are short and I wake up to remember them now. In the past I usually didn't REMEMBER any of the dreams that I would have..These are different, short, and to the point with no extra details..That leaves me to depend on God for the revelation of each one.

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Acts 2:17 (NIV)

Dream ...# 1

In this dream I see a male friend standing tall, but LARGER than life... .and then I see a miniture exact version directly behind him. A mini me...kind of thing. I knew that The Lord WOULD reveal the meaning during the week, because He always does for me to be able to write the story for my weekly post..

When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever. Proverbs 10:25 (NIV)

Dream...# 2

I see my youngest son(now 32)sitting VERY quiet on a sofa with other children. He is round 8 years old and He is dressed up in a suit with a man size long GOLD tie...In real life..this was not his normal attire at that age...even dressed up...ONLY when he served in a wedding once.."But Lord...why the long gold tie?"

And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himslef like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew: 18:3 (NIV)

Dream # 1 revelation...faith is the tall tall figure...(God's protection)
" ...fear is the smaller figure......(daily trials)

It holds a simular meaning as :"Is your glass half full or is it half empy?" Some of us went through trials to get the true meaning of this dream just recently...and guess what...We are stronger and wiser for the experience. The peace of God overshadows the weakness of our flesh..Hang on to The Word and continue standing and claiming it...God will prepare the way..He will always be IN FRONT if you let him...We just have to be led by His Spirit and Word...Let Him guide, and we just need to follow His lead.....Let God be in control...It is that simple....

Dream # 2 revelation...

My son is incarserated at this time, HOWEVER he has had a great transition in his life during this stay...He has truly repented and it looks like The Lord is making a way for him AGAINST all odds to be set free soon and to come home as A CHANGED MAN.. The gold tie represents him being a changed man. He has grown in The Lord...and is ready to live an honest life.. He knows now that ONLY with God's favor and his lawyer could make it happen...He has had several DIVINE interventions on his behalf and he now...knows THE TRUTH...Jesus does love him, and Jesus has not forsaken him...

Take time to draw nigh to The Lord and He will draw nigh to you...WHEREVER you may be..He will come to meet you in a way that you WILL know beyond any shadow of a doubt that God is God and He is real....Be Blessed...

Keys Please !!!

Southwest Lousiana is known world wide for its' Cajun food dishes and our Mardi Gras celebrations. It is a given fact that you either choose to go to New Orleans ,or come to Lafayette, Lousiana. People from all over the world travel to view the massive parades. During this season, a friend and I would always plan a trip to Arkansas to get totally away from all of this pagan activity. Before this story actually begins...she and I attended a church service in New Iberia Louisiana. The sermon this night was on "The Deliverance Anointing."

Webster's dicitionary defines deliverance... as rescuing or set free"         "         "       anointing..... to apply oil either medically or                                  sacramentally

The message emphasized was how God will sometimes annoint one to lay hands on the sick and they shall RECOVER. Another way to describe this is to bring life back to one who has been proclaimed dead....by the DELIVERANCE ANNOINTING of God.

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of HEAVEN; and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Matthew 16:19 (NIV)

In the bible we are called a PECULIAR people. There are some a little more than others. This descibes my friend and I. It doesn't matter whether one BELIEVES us or not when we share our "JESUS TRIPS." People of all denominations are usually interestd. It makes a great story witness tool for the Kingdom of God.....Now you might be prepared for the REST of this story....

We have now returned back from our Arkansas trip. My friend has been returned to her home. I now go inside of my own house and start to unpack. I go to check on my husband. He is in bed EARLIER than usual...An unsettling FEELING came over me...SOMETHING was wrong. His color was not quite right. He just said that he was tired...I finished unpacking and then went to bed myself....and shortly afterwards, IT HAPPENED....

I heard an UGLY groaning and gurgling noise, not HUMAN...I then SLOWLY turned to look at his face....The expression that I saw was very SCARY...I then realized that my husband was NOT breathing. His face was blue with his eyes rolled back...This was bad enough UNTIL I saw those other THINGS standing on the other side of our bed also..WAITING... They were NOT angels. There were three dark creepy shadow demons with HORRIBLE sounds heard coming out of their beings...I SUDDENLY knew that they had come to take my husband to hell....

I IMMEDIATELY started quoting THE WORD of God to bring back life to my now dead husband while also directly speaking and COMMANDING those demons from hell to leave...I didn't know CPR, but I DID know THE WORD OF GOD.... and I literally began to claimed LIFE instead of DEATH for my husband by QUOTING scripture out loud. In the midst of all of this tumoil, I had yelled for my oldest son to call an ambulance. He did..They were on their way...but God's anointing was already with me...

My husband finally started breathing and those critters from hell were all gone. God's Word had PERFORMED CPR, not me. He that WAS dead is now alive...To God be given all of the glory..Everytime that someone would try and give me the credit for saving his life, I would make it totally CLEAR that it was NOT me BUT it WAS the THE WORD OF GOD being quoted...

I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! AND I hold the keys of death and Hades..(Jesus speaking) Revelation 1:18 (NIV)

KEYS PLEASE!!!!!!!!Ask anything in His Name...and it shall be done...AMEN..

Special Thunder

In the year 1993 The Lord woke me up in the wee hours of morning and instructed me to pray for my UNBORN grandchid. I saw a baby WAVING it's arms in the air...and sensed that it was trying to get SOMEONE'S attention as if to say  " Hey, Look at me, I am Alive!".A few weeks had gone by, before my daughter called to inform me that she thought that she was in the process of having a miscarriage. She was at the hospital and the Doctor on call WANTED to do a D&C to remove the unborn fetus. She was refusing to let him go ahead with the procedure UNTIL an ultrasound had been done first. She was calling me for prayer....She really believed that the baby was STILL ALIVE.....The above vision was brought back to my memory. I then shared that info along with the fact that MY GOD would not have me praying for a DEAD baby, this baby was alive! She then informed the doctor that an ultrasound had to be done first.....The Doctor was enraged and INSISTED that the baby was dead...I told her to go to another hospital for a second opinion...and  that she did so promptly. Financially, she really couldn't afford to go to another hospital due to no insurance coverage.During the ultrasound, the staff member was told of what the other doctor had said. The screen monitor was then turned away from the eyes of my daughter. This is what the person said "This baby is alive and even waving it's arms in the air"...Praise to the Lord....No abortion to be done today...The Lord had definitely intervened for this small life not to be snuffed out. The enemy's plan had been spoiled.the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life, and the man became a living being.   GENESIS 2:7  (NIV)

   I called the first hospital to report the story, the doctor and of course the end results of a live baby.. They insisted on PAYING all of the expenses at their hospital, and then HELPED my daughter get a medical card to help pay the expenseof the second hospital WHEN our baby would be born...and we let them. The Doctor was fired and we didn't sue.

A beautiful healthy almost 8 lb. baby girl was born in 1993. She has a voice that roars like thunder. This gift is now benefiting her as a new elected high school upcoming varsity cheerleader...God makes no mistakes..

I would like to quote a close friend "God sure does make BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN." Everyday I am reminded...that she truly is a BREATHING creation from God..

Never Too Big To Sit On Daddy's Knee

My wife and I, and our two sons are involved in a cildren's ministry at our church. My two sons and I were at an "End of School Bash" last night for the children's ministry. At one point in the evening, my son Joshua, who is almost 19 years old and over 6 foot tall walked over to where I was and sat down on my knee. I initially told him that he was going to hurt my knee, BUT quickly realized that this was his way of spending a few minutes with me I did not push the issue, but gladly went through a few moments of discomfort to enjoy a few more minutes with my son.

I know that one day in the not too distant future, I may no longer have that opportunity as he and my other son continue to mature into manhood. I don't know if my son realzed what THAT moment meant to me, but I'll take all of those kind of moments that I can!

I was reminded this morning, that God the Father enjoys THOSE times that we sit down on His knee and just spend time with Him. Th difference is that we will never get TOO BIG or grow so mature that we cannot sit down on His knee to spend time with Him! He loves to spend time with us. After all, THAT is why He gave His Son Jesus to reconcile us to Himself!
