Fresh Oil

A couple of years ago, praying in the previous choir room of the church – “The Eagles Nest” – I had a vision of a Seminole Indian Chief. Young, noble, virile, – very authoritarian – dressed in Seminole blue with red accents – long black hair – we kinda just stared at each other –

and then he said “Pray for my DNA” and the vision was gone.

Last month we were concentrated on prayer in the previously named ” Panhandle” of Florida.

Now known in my circles as the Kingdom handle. The Lord brought to my memory, that was the original land of the Seminoles, but they were forced out from there to a reservation near the Ocala region.

Now this week , we are concentrated on prayer in the Ocala Region. Where the tribe was forced out of Florida.

Calling the Panhandle and Ocala regions to function as The Lord intended – to fulfill the destiny of the Lord.

And so I was led to intercede on behalf of the Chief’s DNA and justice for their environment circumstances. Those events they had no control over but affected their generational memory and perceptions of who they are. And to redeem the land from hatred, greed, and war.

Justice for the tribal people and the land that is held captive by the predatory spirit of greed, division and hatred.

We bless the Seminole tribe, people and lands. Be blessed with the Name of Jehovah-Nissi, the Lord your banner. Be Blessed with the Lord’s protection against being victimized and exploited by the predator spirit. Be blessed with being set free to worship on a new level as Jehovah-Nissi clears the air of your enemies in testimony of his glory.

In the name of Jesus.

The Father Voice. I’ve only heard it twice – the “do this – no questions asked” voice. You’ve seen the birthing room video’s when the babies first hear the Father’s voice. They look around, stop crying and calm down.

The first time was watching a live video of Ken talking with someone else – I don’t even remember who. Ken turned to the camera and said – as I remember unplanned and unrehearsed – ” I need an intercessor”. And the voice immediately and without hesitation said very firmly and authoritative ” And that would be you!” I never thought to question it. I had no doubt. I just began to move to Satellite Beach and do the job.

The second time was last week. Sitting in Ken’s office – catching up with each other – getting prayer assignments – telling stories (that day they were Dr. Don stories….one of Florida’s best – always brings tears to my eyes ). I asked if it was ok to make a cup of coffee from the conference room. Went on to say I was out of coffee , which got a quick heads up and a raised eyebrow. Well, to be fair – for me to not have a stash of coffee was like someone reporting the pope wasn’t catholic. Explained I had a shopping trip planned for the afternoon. Totally different lifestyle without a car!! Just saying.

And then I heard the VOICE – ” Everyday, you should have your first cup of coffee in the admin conference room and Cindy Trimm it.”

So, the protocol is to salute and report for duty. I’ve used Cindy Trimm’s book “The Rules of Engagement” for 30 years. You can download her “Prayers of Activation for Spiritual Warfare” off the internet. I have not run into anything that will not shift if you have the determination to stand and fight and “Cindy Trim” it in Jesus Name.

Oh, and the conference room has a wall honoring the great awakenings – especially Wales. I’m trying a new spiritual practice Emma Stark suggested. Walking in room and asking Holy Spirit to show you the spiritual doors and then how to go from there. There was a door – it was a scenic picture of Wales —

I could step in and /or I could release Wale’s Revival angels into Florida’s Kingdom Gate.

The atmosphere changes when you follow the Cindy Timm rules of engagement!

Doors open – thrones are unseated – cars appear. Just saying the truth!

Last Wed morning: During prayer this morning/I heard the song: “way down in the heart of Texas” and that the three states would pump life into the nation as a heart would blood …

Step in – Throne Room Prayers :

1. Make Jesus your prayer life. Follow his guidance. Listen…

2. Team up with Jesus, the head intercessor.

3. Daily ask for God’s Assignment for the time.

4. Start praying into Goshen – a wide and well protected safe place.

5. Release who you are! – Remember, You are seated in heavenly places with Jesus – lean over and whisper “Since I’m seated in heavenly places with the King of Kings. What is Heaven doing today, Jesus? How can I help?”

6. Pray Psalm 91 with communion every morning.

7. Plead the blood.

Love One Another
“ You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been divinely chosen to be holy. Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others. Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ. If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness to them. For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love becomes the mark of true maturity.”

Colossians 3:12-15 TPT

74 Years ago I popped out of eternity into this life – 1st Child of Alexander Hartley Steven and Myrtle Wilmer Stevens. First of three daughters. 74 years and just caught the “why” of it. It’s not how old in years you are, worldly success you have stacked up but how you loved is the mark of true maturity.

I need a do-over!!!!

The sign on my desk has two questions to the Lord-

What is going on? and. What can I do about it?

Today I heard – “you all are going through the eye of a needle”

What can I do? ” oil it”

That’ll preach!

Then:

2 Co 3:9 bubbled up – Brian Simmons’ note: “the contrast here is between a ministry that brings awareness of sin and leads to condemnation and a new ministry that confirm to us that we are made righteous and innocent by the work of the cross and the grace of the Spirit”

Ah – transition – Holy Spirit is saying: Pull in, seek my face, take business out of the equation – seek my face — spend your time with me – hear what I’m saying…

• a transition -small space to a great purpose and spiritual conquest – “eye of a needle”

And how to oil it : Alabaster Box. Presence. Face to Face encounter.

An instruction from the Lord that I heard a couple of days ago . . .

Gina Gholston’s post and confirmation. “Don’t bend over backwards trying to fix or understand what is behind. Keep your mind alert and your eyes focused on Jesus! With your ears alert to hear My voice . . . listen to, receive, and obey My leading. Stand up straight and reinforce your resolve to resist distractions so that you can see and quickly move with Me as I lead you forward! I need every part of you to be present in this moment!”

Sabbatical – period of paid leave granted to worker for study —

This morning the Lord called me to a 30 day Sabbatical.

Coming home from the Key’s assignment –

 I hear him say “ Clear the walls of the Eagles Nest – 

It’s a New Era – those prayers have been put in motion”. 

And today, I heard him say

“ Draw close – take time to catch the vision of the new and paint the wall.”

I am drawing apart for awhile — my main objective to hear…

THE Heart of God and THE new vision.

And then, paint the walls of the Eagles Nest with the new….

So, it’s back to floor — back to tongues  — off prayer calls and meetings –

Unless the apostle is there – He’s a vision carrier….

Ok, I get it. 2022 – it’s a higher place – different level – for me – a whole new way of life – a major reassignment. No longer who I thought I was or needed to be BUT who I am. What I was created for !

If God had not had me “Burn the Ships” when I moved to Satellite Beach – I would have considered crawling back in the cave I had prayed my way out it!

The last day of 2021, we crossed a glorious threshold to the next year. Bevard County came together in to bring in the New Year at Freedom Christian Center. Large Tubs and troughs for fire baptism and recommitent. Unity and a resetting of our county wide revival history. People came in wheel chairs and walked out. Lasted till 4:00 in morning. Men of God released Holy Spirit Words that set Florida awakening and change in motion for next decade. It was a true state wide shaking.

And then… the seclusion and confusion when Pandora’s box is opened. It took me awhile to get my feet gounded in the word and listen to Holy Spirit’s insight to what was really happening.

We were going full circle to a new level. We were up higher in the spiritual realm and learning how to open up this door at this level and calling.

Nate Johnson summed it up in his blog post.

I was in a time of worship with the Lord when these words began to come forth…

Many are feeling the swirl of change and it’s causing a sense of instability or confusion. Your message has changed and your affections have shifted. You have made a grand departure from the place you started the year in and the things you once had in your sights. You don’t even feel like the same person anymore. You walked through the fire this year and so much has fallen away that you were holding tightly. You battled giants you didn’t expect and encountered some dark nights you wouldn’t wish upon anybody, but soon you’ll see why.

“Soon you’ll look back and you’ll see this was a cocoon year where the Lord tucked you away and hid you so He could transform you.
Soon you’ll see that what felt like cruel pruning, cutting away, and closed doors was protection from what was not your road forward.
Soon you’ll look down and where you used to see chains and old wounds you’ll see healing and your total deliverance.
Soon you won’t feel the limbo of transition anymore but the momentum of a focus and purpose you didn’t conjure or expect.
Soon you’ll stop feeling the mush and mess of the process and begin to feel new wings emerging and a fresh fire and message you were not carrying before.”

And as you begin to see the way breaking open before you, you’ll realize that you were ambushed by Heaven so you wouldn’t miss out on this new chapter waiting. Yes, it’s time to emerge now. Your days underground are coming to an end. The seed had to die but now watch what comes forth from your darkest and messiest season yet. Soon you’ll see the ground crack and break open and in a moment you’ll step out of the limited place you have been in.

But you won’t leave empty-handed. For what you have not been able to see is that God has been growing you in the dark, building you, forming you, and launching you. The landscape you left isn’t the same one you are returning to. Your old plow has been burned and your previous role and assignment had been retired, but you’ll suddenly find the new thing God has for you, and you’ll find you have a fresh passion to run with it instead of the weariness you were carrying.

And you’ll look back and you won’t see a trail of pain and trauma behind you but fresh wings for a new season… and you’ll soar with the Lord in this season with NOTHING holding you back.

“And you’ll arise and you’ll shine. 
You’ll arise and you’ll shine. 
YOU’LL ARISE AND SHINE!

You’ll run and not grow weary, you’ll walk and not grow faint.
You’ll leap over a wall and break through the once boarded-up gates.
You’ll cut through the bars of iron.
And you’ll make up for the lost time.”

No, this wasn’t a wasted year or a robbery year…
THIS HAS BEEN YOUR METAMORPHOSIS!

Today, I came to understand what 2022 was all about. A testing of the YES. Giving Holy Spirit Freedom to transition me into his image.

The Keys are jingling!  The scab of Pan covering the creative volcano of the land of the keys will be lifted off. Hear the sound, see the colors, smell the fragrance of the next great awakening. It will travel out from “the key hole” and unlock the islands of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea – It will travel as a wind of the sea around the globe.
