Regarding wanting Gods divine will for our lives....what is our true destiny while we walk this earth in this lifetime? My husband and I have been struggling with this, after fifteen years of marriage in the same home and in the same town...now we are sensing that God has more for us to do than to raise our children (all 8 are married and or moved on in their own independent lives)....

God called me to write and publish the book "Its A God Thing...MY SHEEP WILL HEAR MY VOICE. And now we believe God has something else around the corner, we may be moving, touring speaking and spreading the Gospel through whatever way Christ leads...

We never thought we'd do this, the truth is that we are both not comfortable thinking of leaving our nest and following Christ wherever He leads.....but in this discomfort, is our longing heart. My prayer is not my will Father, but THY will. Pray for us please...we may not have to say good bye to our home, our town and our comfort zone, but If God wants us to, I want to embrace it with all of my heart.

You can buy the store...its ok with me, and we'll even put in a section for little kids to play with little cars....hahaha orange ones in particular!!!

Praise God Praise God Praise God, I am so happy for you John...God's Holy annointing of Joy came to my heart as well....I could feel it from my friend's little but lovely annointed message from the heart.

Thank you all who prayed for my friend Carrie.....your faithfulness in Christ is a blessing....and all GLORY and HONOR....goes to the King of Kings....Jesus. The Joy of the LORD is my strength!!!!! praise God!!!!!

Man you could buy and distribute a lot of my books with big bucks like that!!!!! but aside from me being silly,

I say there is nothing that God cannot do....!!!!!!!

I am praying.

I can see the motive of our heart is important to God. We all get it wrong at times, even the patriarchs in the Bible, to me that is inspiring!!!

I am so happy, I am sharing my email that I got from my friend Carrie, just a few minutes ago. I told her that my friends had been praying for her joy to be restored.
She had an accident and has been very diabled since November. Here is the beautiful letter that I got from her a few moments ago. I wanted to thank you all for praying.

Linda,
I hadn't been up to my hen house since early November when I fractured my ankle. Yesterday, I carefully walked up there, brought my hens some weeds, fed them, and gave them some fresh litter in their boxes. They haven't laid a single egg since that day in November. Today however, I went back up with some more greens and SURPRISE! A single brown egg laid waiting for me! Joy! Later, I went out to my struggleing little citrus grove (very little). My son and I were stringing Christmas lights upon them to protect them from the coming cold. My tiny little lemon tree was covered with lemons! Sadlly, one of the branches broke away from the trunk so I decided to pick all the lemons. I tossed them in a basket and looked over and saw daffadils blooming and decided to pick some. I placed in the basket with the lemons and looked down and saw the beauty of all the bursting yellow colors. On such a cold February day, I felt my heart surge with JOY! I realized then, that for the first time in a long time, I felt that enJOYment that only God can give in the simple tasks of the day. Thank you Lord Jesus for such a wonderful gift. And thank you Linda for your prayers. LOve you, Carrie

Daphenie...your husband had a dream about Los Angelas...I will keep interceding for California...all my water dreams are centered on what looks like California where I live....even the huge Valley that I often climb to get to safety during the floods.

I have been praying for California as well.

Me too Mia...and the Underground bombings that I recently posted were at the "Kings Station", and the nuclear disaster in the Ukraine, a few years ago were at Cherynoble (wormwood)....yes and the word that keeps coming to me here in California I have been dreaming dreaming dreaming about water and flooding and I keep thinking Los Angelas "The Angels" This has been on my mind too Mia...very much so.

James...I love the idea of framing that scripture and hanging it on a wall...it is very hard for my mind to grasp that scripture...it is challenging to me....but then again, I have hope, because with God all things are possible !! :)

Yes Owen...powerful truth. Both are powerful truth.....food for our spirit man. For man does not llive by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

So we feed our spirit man with the word of God....(the milk) and then we walk that word, obey those words and walk them (the meat)....and that is the food to grow into a mature Christian...

Wow that is a really profound way to see it!!! Paul absolutely thought that he had it "right" and God had to stop him with a miracle...to make him see the truth....and not an "illusion" of what he percieved to be true.

Praise God...let your children have a heart, to pray for others Lord. Let us have a burden for the lost and the hurting. We Love you Lord In Jesus name, amen

still praying.

The Lord has clothed us, ; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, and expects us to keep them the way we received them. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

THE UNDERGROUND BOMBINGS


To this day I still don’t always understand what God is saying to me in my dreams. Our education in the Holy Spirit is a lifetime endeavor. But I have learned a lot, and I love the fact that God does talk to us in dreams. One of the things that God has taught me is to be able to discern the difference between a prophetic dream (which I fondly call a “God dream”) and an ordinary dream. Sometimes there is a waiting period for a prophetic dream actually to manifest, as the dream may not be for a current situation but a future event. On one occasion in particular, God gave me an immediate understanding of what this dream was about, and I had the opportunity to share that with my son-in-law before the dream manifested.

In the summer of 2005, I went to Tennessee to spend some time with my daughter, Christy, and her family. My son-in-law, Mo, and I were at breakfast one morning having a theological discussion on our religion of choice. My son-in-law is a Muslim and I am a Christian; this can make for some interesting discussions! Usually my daughter is very nervous when we talk religion and would rather that we not. She is concerned that maybe we’ll offend each other or get into a heated argument, but actually I think Mo enjoys our discussions as much as I do.

On this one morning we were talking about why we chose our religions. It started with our families and what their beliefs were and then we moved on to our own personal relationships with God. This then led in more detail to my personal relationship with God.

I was telling Mo that I talked to God and that He talked to me. Mo seemed interested and questioned me on this. “What do you mean God talks to you? How?” And I talked a little bit about the ways that God does talk to me, and then I remembered.

“In fact I had a ‘God dream’ last night,” I told Mo. In my dream we were in a basement. It was night, and my little daughter, Courtney, was getting into bed with me. I whispered to her, “Courtney, do you see those evil entities that are plotting against us?” I was pointing to what I could see in the basement as a table with spiritual entities that looked like men,

standing over a table with what appeared to be some kind of map that they were studying. I knew that they were evil.

“No mama, those are real men who are plotting against us,” said my daughter back to me…and I then I heard the sound of the voice of my stepson, Dan Irish, yelling out “FIVE”…and then I woke up.

“So what does that mean?,” said Mo…and I knew. God had imparted to me an understanding of the dream. I said, “God is revealing to me that someone—evil men—are plotting to attack us underground, and the number five has something to do with it.”

Not that day, but the next day, in the late afternoon, Mo came home from work, and when he walked in the front door I heard him yell my name. I immediately found him to see what he wanted.

“Did you hear what happened?,” Mo said to me. “No I haven’t heard anything. What happened? And Mo went on to tell me about the terrorist bombing in England—underground in the subway. The bombings had taken place on July 23rd in London, at the Kings Cross station. “It’s just like in your dream,” he said. And I told Mo what I thought.

“This really sounds like the manifestation of the dream that God gave me, but we will know for sure when the number ‘5’ has something to do with it, because that is how I will know for sure that this is the manifestation from my dream. In my life, when God tells me something, every part of what God says comes true. The number five is an important part of the dream and it will confirm the dream to us.”

So for days the news covered the bombings, and the press reported that there were four bombers involved, but still nothing about number five—until several days later it was reported that they had found a fifth bomber.

That’s it!, I said. Now I feel a peace that, yes, this is what God was talking to me about in my dream.

God used this event to show my son In law Mo, that my God is real and does talk to His children. Praise God!!!

Right before the bombings in England, God gave me a prophetic dream about it. I am going to post that in one of the forums after I post this, but God gave me a dream that took place in a basement. He told me it meant "underground"...like what is secret or what others dont see. but it also meant "underground" as in the bombing was in a subway!!!

But caves seem even more raw than a basement... will post my dream and the translation that God gave me. Not sure if any of it will shed light on your dream...but looking forward to understanding what God is saying.

Yes, GOD IS SO AWESOME, and He is longsuffering with us, Praise God!!! Reading this story again brought tears to my eyes...I am amazed at God.

I am praying for revelation for you Lola...

I don’t even remember when I started all this, but ever since I was a young mom with little children I remember praying every time that I heard a siren.

I may have been inspired by the car wreck that I was in when I was nineteen with my husband and my newborn baby, Christy. I had amnesia from that, I now remember waking up alone in the hospital and not having a clue who I was and completely amazed to find out that I had a husband and a baby.

But whatever the catalyst was, I had incorporated a habit of praying every time that heard a siren…what made me think of this is the siren that I just heard just this morning here while I am still in bed and drinking my coffee for the day.

One summer day my daughter Courtney was over and we heard a siren and we kind of laughed that we were praying at the same time, and then she said something that I will never forget. She told me that one day she realized that she was starting to feel less passion when she prayed ~ and that really bothered her, so now when she prays she imagines that the ones who are in trouble, in a wreck or ill, she imagine that they are her children and this has restored the passion back to her prayers.


I was so inspired by what she said that I do this now. When I pray I imagine with all of my heart that it is my daughter, my son, my grandchildren, my parents or my husband who is in trouble. The Bible says, “The fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” but we know we are only righteous through faith in Christ and not any in ourselves alone.


One day in the horrible heat of the summer here in Northern California ( where I have seen days as hot as the 120’s), one terrible hot day, I got a call from my supervisor to stop what I was doing and go home too work on my reports.


I was not happy as our computer was in our garage and it was so hot it was like torture in my hot hot garage with the sun beating down on a room with no cooling system and no windows. This is where the computer was hooked up.(I preferred to do my reports in the evening during this hot weather…but here I was in the middle of the day)…I put on a t-shirt and shorts but still I was suffering.


To make it even worse, if that were possible, we always have my husbands fire radio on, and the noise of that ceaseless chatter was getting on my nerves…Finally in anger and irritation, I got up from the computer to shut it off….but as I was reaching for it, I felt a conviction in my spirit and the Holy Spirit said to me “I see, you only obey if it is convenient for you”…


I immediately felt remorse in my spirit for the anger…and then I really heard the fire radio. There was an accident, a man was hit on his motorcycle…and I felt it in my heart, and I started to cry. “I am so sorry Father please be there with this man, I pray salvation for his soul Father and that you are there Father for his healing, Lord send your angels to be with him and take care of him”…and I could hear on the radio that even as I was praying still the First Responders had not arrived yet….I was thinking of my son Dustin who nearly lost his life in his senior year in a terrible wreck. I knew then that God had put me here in this hot garage on this very day,for a reason.

I was cut to the heart and I continued to pray until I had peace that this man was in good hands and on his way to the hospital.


I had repented for my foolish and useless anger that almost kept me from being able to intercede that day. When I think back on this I Praise God for His long suffering with His children and for His mercy. What a mess we sometimes are.


The next day I was with a client eating lunch when I got a call from Courtney, “Mama I need you to pray for my friend Joe, he’s been in a terrible accident. He was on his motorcycle traveling at highway speed when a slow truck pulled in front and he couldn’t avoid it” she said. After we compared notes I realized that Courtney’s friend Joe, from school was the same young man that God had me interceding for the day before. My Courtney was deeply concerned and told me that Joe was one of the nicest people that she ever knew.

Courtney wanted to so something so she put together a raffle and joined in a larger fundraiser for Joe…and I sent a get well card to the family, with a note explaining that I had been led by God to pray for her son from the very beginning…..this was last year.


After all this time and out of the blue, amazingly I got a call the other day. The mother was going through all her son’s “Get Well” cards and came across my letter. She couldn’t believe that she had never noticed it and she was so excited to call me and let me know that Joe lived and he is doing well. He is in physical therapy. We talked and we both agreed that God was there for her son.We are planning to meet for coffee face to face and I am so happy that my heart is dancing. I could have missed this blessing except that God is great. Praise God! Praise God.

When you hear a siren…remember to pray. Amen.

This one scripture has revealed to me that even in the most awful things..as I am suffering I hold onto this like a life saver....it is true. this truth hleps me over and over again!!!

Amen. Praise God!!!

John, myfavorite is, "All things work together for good, for those who love the Lord and are called together for HIS purpose"
Romans 8:28

God never fails...His word is rock, this always comes to pass in our lives.amen

That she be a vehicle for YOUR spirit this day Lord, that she overflow with your grace,your wisdom your comfort and your love like a warm blanket. All Glory to YOU Father....we pray all these things in your precious name.amen

As horrible as it is we all know that it could have been even more deadly and more devistating without the prayers. Thank you Father for talking to your children, and praise God that When you say "my sheep will hear my voice" That your sheep will hear your voice.

Praise God. I pray now for the victims waiting to be saved Father that you lead others to them ...we pray for the salvation of their souls and their bodies Lord...Comfort them and may they have true encounters with YOU Lord, May we pray the precious blood of Our Lord Jesus over the ones in trouble Father, and send in your angels. In Jesus name, amen
