The Lion King

“The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Did you know that Disney’s The Lion King, the play is being performed all over the country right now? 

My husband and I attended the matinee performance last Sunday. It was extraordinary. I perceived a sweetness, a purity within the performance that literally brought tears to my eyes. I knew God was speaking prophetically to the church. I kept hearing “The Lion King!, The Lion King!”. 

Last night during a heated worship service frantically I grabbed my phone in order to record the revelation Holy Spirit brought forth:

In the story, Simba, a young lion cub in line to rule, ran and hid when the king was gone. While in hiding he lost his identity as a lion. He wasn’t eating the right food. He was eating bugs instead of meat. Simba is the church. 

Zazoo, the majordomo and advisor to the king, was ignored by Simba. Simba alluded him dismissing his advice stating that he did not need him. Zazoo represents the prophets. 

The Lord then showed me that the pride lands of the Lion of Judah are America. 

I heard: “There are hyenas in the pride lands!”

The hyenas in the story came to steal, kill and destroy the resources of the land. They had no place there but no one stepped up to oppose them. 

The church must take its place of authority. Realize that you are citizen of Heaven called to rule and reign for Him on this earth. God is waiting for the church to take its place. 

Leadership is emerging from tiny remnant sized churches all over the country. I’ve witnessed pastors who are fully prepared to steward the Third Great Awakening. The Lord has chosen these small, seemingly insignificant places to make His name known. 

“Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Each day when you put on your “shoes of peace” know that the God of peace will “crush Satan under your feet”. 

 Are you willing to believe you are a threat to the darkness? Why don’t you start praying with that assurance? Without faith it’s impossible to please God. 

There was a point in the story where Simba faced the hyenas as a young lion. He roared in defiance and the hyenas laughed saying “that was it?” then suddenly his father appeared behind him and roared mightily.  His roar dominated the atmosphere making the enemy tremble and cower in fear. It was final. 

“When you walk, you won’t be held back; when you run, you won’t stumble.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Jesus is rising up as Defender in this hour. You will know Him personally as Defender. You will testify and tell others, everyone who will listen, about the power of the Lion of Judah who has stepped in behind you to back you up with His mighty roar each time you step out in faith.

Hannah’s Hallelujah 

A few weeks ago I was visiting a church where I was invited to minister. At the end of the service a woman came down from the worship team and begin talking to me about Hannah in scripture. As we discussed her life the Lord began to spark revelation and continued to speak to me about her story. 

“And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the LORD had closed her womb. And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the LORD had closed her womb. So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.”

‭‭I Samuel‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

At the beginning of Hannah’s story we see a blessed and highly favored woman of God who is loved and cared for but cannot see it because the voice of her enemy is the loudest in her life. 

The enemy’s taunts are keeping her from the feast (worship). 

Even at this moment many of us are faced with a similar choice. Do we give in to despair allowing the enemy’s lies to penetrate our spirits or do we pull ourselves up to the table He has set for us in the presence of our enemies and worship Him as Sovereign over all?

In the middle of the night the enemy tried to taunt me in a similar way but instantly the Lord showed me the unwavering faith of thousands of believers all over the country who having done all to stand will stand and give Him praise! 

An overwhelming peace came and all morning I’ve meditated on Hannah’s story. 

“And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish. Then she made a vow and said, “O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.””

‭‭I Samuel‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Feeling the reality of the anguish of her disappointment she valiantly released it to God rolling the burden onto Him to fulfill. 

John 14:1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”

She prayed in great detail pouring out her heart and all of her hopes and plans then she chose to trust. 

“And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.”

‭‭I Samuel‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Covered in favor as a woman who believed God she feasted and celebrated even in the midst of her disappointment. 

Her circumstances had not changed but her heart had. 

“And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile the child Samuel grew before the LORD.”

‭‭I Samuel‬ ‭2‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

After worshipping, feasting and receiving the double portion in faith, God’s hand of divine favor came over her natural life. In addition to giving birth to a great prophet, Samuel, who served the Lord faithfully all the days of his life she was given 5 more children!

Despite her despair Hannah raised a hallelujah which catapulted her into destiny! 

Will you join me today in releasing Hannah’s hallelujah?

Treasury Of The Glorious Rest

“Then Pharaoh gave Joseph a new Egyptian name, Zaphenath-paneah. He also gave him a wife, whose name was Asenath. She was the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On. So Joseph took charge of the entire land of Egypt.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭41‬:‭45‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Translating the new name given to Joseph, it means “treasury of the glorious rest”. 

This is a word for leaders of every kind, not just pastors, apostles and prophets, but business, community, family and political leaders. You are being entrusted with the “end times treasury”

Looking closely at more events from Egypt the Lord continues to speak to us for this hour. 

So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?” And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them.””

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The Egyptian midwives had been positioned to abort the future but the Lord accomplished two unexpected endeavors. He changed their hearts and expedited His purpose quickly bringing about what the enemy feared most.

The Lord is stepping in as Defender over your life. You will feel His overshadowing cover. You are becoming a great threat to the darkness 

“And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘This is done because of what the LORD did for me when I came up from Egypt.’ It shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought you out of Egypt.”

— ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬-‭9‬‬

For the generation that was too afraid to trust God all they had was this beautiful story of His grace. For 40 years they recounted this moment in time never moving beyond what God did for them then.

Sadly I’ve witnessed many unwilling to move to the next place of destiny because the enemy has led them to believe it is the end for them. As a result they are stuck in past constantly recounting the way God used them in old seasons never faithfully advancing into the future. 

“And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.”

— ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭13‬‬

How would you even act if the greatest opposing force your life was suddenly gone and you were released into a new place with boundary lines so far apart you cannot see them?

Stop for a moment and practice exhalation of our God. Can you by faith worship Him as the One who is greater than the sum of your life experience up to this point? God you are greater than anything we have ever known or experienced. You are bigger than the life we have known up to this point. You are capable of so much more than we’ve ever seen or imagined!

“And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The Lord will gain honor over what has opposed you up to this point. You will see it happen and bear witness to it. He is overshadowing your life as Defender. That is how you will know Him in the days ahead.

Prophetic dream 10-11-26

“This is a record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, a descendant of David and of Abraham: Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac was the father of Jacob. Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah (whose mother was Tamar). Perez was the father of Hezron. Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon. Salmon was the father of Boaz (whose mother was Rahab). Boaz was the father of Obed (whose mother was Ruth). Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon (whose mother was Bathsheba, the widow of Uriah).”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We are warring over legacy right now. Warring over our future. Warring over our bloodline!

In the dream I was reading one of those tedious detailed portions of scripture, like this one. One that you read through quickly and never get much out of. People were watching me not even letting me finish asking “what is God saying?”. I was disappointed thinking what could I ever glean from this? I felt the challenge of it, then, all of a sudden, I heard: “the enemy is making his plans but God’s plan is already in place”!

Upon waking further understanding came: “The Lord knows how to dismantle what the enemy is building!”

This list of ancestors ends with the name of Jesus! God is a god of legacy. He has a plan in place to redeem your bloodline and His name is Jesus!

Do not stop praying! God is moving! There is a plan in place behind the scenes that will break the power of the enemy’s operation in your lives and family. 

Consider the beginning of Joseph’s story:

“Then the brothers killed a young goat and dipped Joseph’s robe in its blood. They sent the beautiful robe to their father with this message: “Look at what we found. Doesn’t this robe belong to your son?” Their father recognized it immediately. “Yes,” he said, “it is my son’s robe. A wild animal must have eaten him. Joseph has clearly been torn to pieces!””

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭37‬:‭31‬-‭33‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Apparently it was over for Joseph. His dreams must have been even more puzzling to Jacob after this happened. The evidence seemed clear and plain. It was over! Jacob did not realize for many years that a plan of God was in place to fulfill the prophetic dreams Joesph was given about his future and redeem his entire family in the process!

Trust God, continue to pray, and wait expectantly. Every detail of God’s promises will be fulfilled.

The Joy of Harvest Will Overtake The Pain Of The Plow

Now is the time to pray! Pray, pray, pray! Every scripture released from your mouth is producing fruit on the path ahead of you. Your prayers are paving your path. You are getting ready to walk into a miracle!

“Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus…..” But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬-‭19‬, ‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The man in this story could not move. There was nothing he could do to help himself. He was completely at the mercy of his circumstances. The men who brought him to Jesus acted as intercessors. They carried him in the strength of their faith. When there appeared to be no path forward, they searched for Jesus and found a place of breakthrough! They literally brought him to the feet of Jesus. 

When you pray for people or circumstances remember this story and understand that you are doing this exact thing. You are carrying those who cannot help themselves, praying until you see a breakthrough and turning the attention of Jesus to them! 

Each time you raise an issue in the spirit you are bringing it before the Lord in the courts of Heaven. The scriptures you pray are piling up in your defense!

You have been faithful to carry the burdens of the Lord, faithful to grieve over what grieves Him, faithful to pray for change. That faithfulness will be credited. 

The inevitable conclusion of your relentless efforts in this season can only result in an impossible miracle. 

“Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭126‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

One breakthrough will come then 5 more will burst through behind it! This is harvest time!

You will see lives suddenly shifts especially in the lives of people you thought would never change. 

Continue to sow your prayers of faith in tears, when your shouts of joy come they will be loud! The joy of harvest will overtake the pains of the plow!

Prepare For Sudden Enlargement

In the early hours of the morning, giant letters appeared before me in the Spirit: “ENLARGMENT”. 

Immediately the Lord led me again to consider what happens in a family when a baby is coming! The individual carrying “the promise” experiences enlargement, increase, a heavier burden, and stretching while all the others around make preparations to hold and care for the gift that is coming to the family. 

Even as I am recording this post a friend texted to tell me she is suddenly having contractions stating “I wasn’t expecting it today!”

Over the past week I have continued to see a harvest field associated with this moment in time. It is one acre and a perfect square. It is limited in size but full. 

As you read this know that you have been faithful to work every inch of the territory the Lord has assigned to you. 

“To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭29‬ ‭NLT‬‬

An evaluation has taken place in the Spirit. You have been proven faithful, now prepare to step into increase. 

3 steps to preparing for this expansion: 

1. Understanding that the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth is key. Wherever He sends you trust that the path ahead is His path and that you may expect to be met with mercy and truth along the way. 
2. Know before you go that obedience is greater than sacrifice. Learn to discern if His will is to stay or to go in each scenario and blessing will immediately meet you in your response. 
3. “A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men.” Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. You have the power to strategically sow your seeds, whether they are in the form of offerings, time, talent, or prayer, and then command breakthrough to that place of assignment.

Expecting A Harvest 

Early Sunday morning the Lord showed me that  great accomplishment would take place in the spirit. 

Then I saw an enormous rock being ripped in half and I heard “break away”. 

Later I begin to hear “tectonic shift”. This is when I realized this is global. 

I believe this is a message for the church and the world. New alliances are forming. Harvest is beginning. We will enter harvest season full, grace and glory cover the season ahead. 

At the beginning of our Sunday service my pastors wife prophesied that God’s people were pregnant with a promise, for some even a long awaited one. 

Immediately the following day the Lord began to expand my understanding. 

He brought me back to the joy of that time in my life when I was expecting, highlighting how it affects entire family when He brings a new life into it. They literally expand into greater joy. 

It is a mysterious gift that radically changes the lives of many. 

Continually each day this week I am impressed by the Spirit that the Lord is about to add something to each of us that is permanent, like a child.  A permanent addition. 

Your faithfulness is about to be matched with a response of His faithfulness. 

This gift from God will enlarge your world. Your current life experience will expand into new places of opportunity as you carry the joy of its release into your life! 

Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭127‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God calls children a “gift”, a “reward”. That is what I see ahead. 

Those who have been faithful are about to witness a personalized illustration of His faithfulness. 

I literally see a golden hue on the next 2 months. I believe it is grace and glory. 

The joy of what is coming will strongly overtake the burden of “caring” for it, overseeing it, working it. 

Can you sense His coming response? A harvest of your hopes!

The Great Restrainer Is Working With You

Stories of life behind the Iron Curtain and the occupation which preceded it. 

Having just returned from Eastern Europe my husband and I were offered a very different travel experience meeting people who remembered life on the other side of the war and the evil communist regime which followed. 

Wondering into a local store in Prague I learned a fascinating story. Meeting the owner and hearing that he was 12th generation and was 9 years old when communism took over Prague I asked “did you ever get to go to church?”. He explained that under communism religion was forbidden but he had an uncle who was a minister. In a back room of his shop they held secret meetings where they would teach people about God. When the Soviets blocked his access to gold and silver destroying his business. One day miraculously he discovered a mine on his property and was able to continue to make jewelry and stay in business. His product was a combination of brass, rhodium and 18 karat gold. 

In the 90’s a woman came into his shop wearing a large hat. She stated that the quality of his jewelry was the highest of any she had seen. She was the wife of the owner of MGM and helped open the door for this jewelry to be sold in America. Today it is the gold used in Rolex watches. 

I asked if I could speak a blessing over him and he quickly bowed his head and stretched out his hands. I felt in that moment that the Lord desired to open a door in the spirit honoring the faithfulness of that family. 

At the end of communism in the Czech Republic there was a large public demonstration on park grounds where residents gathered and shook their keys loudly into the air. This gesture represented the statement: “go and leave your keys in the door”. After this point in time the new government searched out original owners or their extended family and returned all property. Those living in government housing were given the opportunity to purchase their apartments for an extraordinary price. Our tour guide explained that she purchased her 3 bedroom apartment for five thousand dollars. 

A frequent phrase used during communism was:  “we pretend to work and the government pretends to pay us”. 

We were told that the shelves were never completely empty in grocery stores and that while they could not find what they wanted, access to food continued. 

They were never told of the American involvement in their liberation at the conclusion of WWII, only of the Russian effort. It was not until 1990 that the history books were rewritten to include the true role played by the United States to liberate the Czech Republic. 

During communism, plain, simple  buildings were erected and everything was painted grey. After communism everything was repainted in colorful  pastels. 

The following day we walked the grounds of a Jewish ghetto and concentration camp called Terezín. 

The fort surrounding the concentration camp was built in 1790 by Marie Antoinette’s brother. It was built in honor of Maria Theresa, who ruled Hapsburg for 40 years and had 16 children one of whom was Marie Antoinette. 

A Jewish ghetto was set up here and in other German controlled cities in order to gather the Jewish community in one place. Today it is a beautiful town with a museum and multiple monuments. The museum walls are covered with original drawings from the precious children who lived there. One young girl in particular was highlighted. Her name was Helga Weiss. 

Helga as a child waited there for 3 years after her family was taken to a concentration camp, which was extremely unusual. She kept a journal during that time and it is now published. During the course of the war she was sent to 4 different concentration camps. From this one location there were 10,500 children taken and only 245 survived. Miraculously she was one of them. 

Please take a moment to pray for Helga Weiss. She will be 97 in November!

During the war the Swiss sent a Red Cross delegation into the ghetto. The Germans made a propaganda video about life in the ghetto which was to be disseminated to the world in order to give the appearance that everyone there was happy. The video was of a staged soccer game where players were surrounded by “happy” fans. The delegation interviewed people in the ghetto and they were scripted to say “ I am happy I am not missing anything.” Fearing for their lives everyone pretended. One week later all who made contact with the Swiss delegation were sent to a concentration camp. 

Among those also imprisoned in this camp were Catholic priests, those who listened to banned radio, did not comply, would not work or helped the Jewish people. 

This camp was a temporary stop before being sent to Auschwitz, an annihilation camp.  

Walking under a brick archway leading to the grounds where the prisoners were kept I took a photo of the German words written “aren’t macht frei” it translates to “Work makes you free”. 

Jewish prisoners were separated from the rest. 

Entering the small Jewish cell which held up to 60 prisoners, I touched the wall and began to pray. Looking up to the Lord, seeking to connect with the prayers released in that room I was surprised to feel hope. God had met His people there. 

This was one of two very intense concentration camp experiences we had during our visit to Eastern Europe. During the second visit the Lord graciously gave me the unique opportunity to first minister to a Jewish woman and then to a German man both equally overwhelmed by the gravity of the spiritual atmosphere. 

As you digest this post, understand that God has sent you in this day and time to save, heal and deliver. Look around and watch for opportunities to help. 

“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.”

‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This morning I called on the Lord recognizing Holy Spirit as the Great Restrainer who partners with each of us in this hour as we release the goodness of God to those all around us. 

The warfare has been intense and almost overwhelming this month but God’s sovereign hands have been busily moving in the background working out His plans for your life. Do not be surprised if evil is forced to confess its agenda publicly giving people the opportunity to escape!

“He Knows My Name”

My experience in Switzerland was marked by the sounds of bells. The first sound I heard walking through Fluelen was the captivating call of the church bells from the city center. Each time they rang I got chills feeling in my spirit a deeper call of God going out to the city inviting people to gather in His name for worship. No one responded. 

Exploring the Klingenstock mountains the next day we heard the sounds of tiny bells ringing all around. 

Following the sound we looked higher to discover milk cows grazing on the Swiss alps each adorned with a bell.  As we rode a gondola higher up the mountain the sounds of the bells continued to ring below us.  

The following afternoon we visited a store in Lucerne and purchased an enormous brass cow bell which dates back to 1880. Historically the largest bell was given to the lead cow and that each bell makes a distinct sound. The farmer knows each sound and can tell by hearing which cow is missing. 

Consider our individual voices and sounds, each unique, distinguishable and anointed with purpose. Voices that worship, teach, lead, pastor, influence, direct, guide, rally and support. The ear of our Heavenly Father is attuned, listening intently for each sound to take its place, joining the Heavenly orchestra. Each in its place releasing a unique sound for this day and time in the earth! He is listening, calling, waiting. 

The worship song I continue to hear associated with this message is an older song by Israel Houghton titled “He knows my name”. 

“But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Psalms 37 affirms that The Lord “delights in every detail of your life.” He watches over even the most specific facets of who He has designed you to be. If you follow Him He will lead you into the next place of destiny for your life. Long awaited paths are opening up even now. 

Even as I record this post I can see and hear the movement of people and voices responding to God, taking their places, joining the chorus and releasing their sound “for such a time as this” in the earth all over the world.

The Battle Over The Gates Has Been Won

During an extended stay in Fluelen, Switzerland the Lord highlighted a familiar promise to me:

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Reading this verse I felt a sense of longing as if my spirit responded “how can I get there?”. The Lord impressed upon my spirit “can you imagine what you could do if you believed this?”

Beginning this post you can see the view from my room. A worship song by Hillsong is resonating in my spirit. Particularly these verses “every hour every minute You are loyal to me. You are faithful and you always will be…”

From the middle of June I perceived and experienced intense warfare as events unfolded beyond our control and we had to press with the help of other intercessors to break free. I felt that the enemy was trying to lock us in a pattern preventing us from moving forward.

As I stood in faith being refined by practicing patient endurance trusting God in the intense heat of the battle a long awaited breakthrough 20+ years in the making suddenly came to pass. I am now a licensed, ordained minister. 

There has been a great battle at the gates of your next place of destiny. Through standing in faithfulness and patient endurance the battle was, is, and will finally be won and long awaited breakthroughs are coming forth in your life. 

Today as I gaze upon the glorious, majestic Swiss Alps I can feel the refreshing God promised during this season. As the “faithfulness” song replays continually in my spirit it brings tears to my eyes knowing that the darkness we face has an endpoint and the glory on the other side is always greater than any you’ve ever experienced before. When faithfulness begins to break through in your lives you enjoy a long season of harvesting the fruit of your faith!

 Every word declared in the dark is echoing loudly as it breaks forth and shakes things loose in the light.
