MY PRAYER REQUESTS

The Dreamer's Den
Blessings to all! Its been a long time since I was able to sit down to speak to you all about what has been happening, and the Lord has been moving to bring forth my heart's desire to have my husband to be home and not over the road trucking where he'd be gone for weeks at a time. Its been hard doing it all caring for my son Levi alone, and with Lee recovering from his back surgery, he has given me a lot of help lately. But on top of all that, he got his heart's desire, that he didn't think would be possible being married, he was able to get his english mastiff puppy and a purple harley!!!!!
And the Lord is opening up the door for Lee to go into business with a couple who are our neighbors. We are opening up a custom paint and body shop called the Dreamer's Den. Its funny because I was sharing my vision behind my ministry and my book with the man and he said that he could paint it in a mural on the back of my husband's black pick-up truck!! It is what I would love for the cover of my book. It is a picture of a buck and a deer at the edge of a stream where there is only a little bit of water in the midst of some rocks based on the scripture of as the deer pants for the water brook so my soul pants after You! And my husband added the idea of having the buck watching over the deer while she drinks. If that isn't a prophetic picture of the church with the watchmen and those digging deeper for vision and revelation.
And the stream will build into a mighty river. In the background will be a mighty waterfall and in the midst of the waterfall you will see a lion roaring. This will be God's heart cry for the lost!!! My book speaks of what God took me through to catch this vision, but this will be on the back of our truck!!!
Back to our business! It will be the Dreamer's Den Custom Paint and Body Shop. From little nicks repaired to as far as your imagination and finances can go with how you would like your vehicle designed!!!! You can share your vision for the world to see in murals painted on your vehicle.....from trucks, cars, motorcycles, etc. Precision detailed in perfection. Also you can have your car detailed with Tender Loving Care!!!!!!! Twenty years experience in air brush painted artwork. Family oriented business moving in good business ethics that will be greatly rewarded for all.
Work is being done as unto the Master Builder and Artist, bringing glory to His name!!!!
I appreciate your prayers for our new business, for my husband's full recovery from surgery because he is about to start physical therapy, and also for all our spiritual growth, and outreach to the lost, and those who are really struggling. I am really excited about all that has been happening in opening doors of outreach for me!!! The Lord has put a love and a burden for certain classes of people that before I would never have associated with. And I am more excited and open and yielded to reach out to the lost now more than ever!!!
All glory to God!!! And thank you to all of you for your prayers and support over the years. This business will truly be a mission field for us!!!
Oh yes, this business is opening here in Melbourne, FL. Anyone interested in the business, please contact me!!!

Three years ago my husband was knocked off a loading dock at work, and ever since then he has had really bad pain in his lower back and his right leg was numb. They said he would need surgery, but he wanted to wait it out to see if things would work itself out in his back and get better. But the doctor knew he would need surgery. This week my husband went in for major back surgery where they cut through the stomach and put cages on his spine, and they cut through his back and put in rods, and he is in a lot of pain without the pain medication, and is having a hard time getting up out of bed. It is one day at a time recovery and I am believing by the grace of God he will have a speedy recovery. So I appreciate your prayer support in this one, along with prayer for our finances. Hospital bills, doctor bills and rehab will be coming out of our pocket. Believe for divine favor that we will have a major break in the bills. Thank you so much! Yolanda

Blessings to you! I humbly submit to you the following and request prayer covering over all of us, for when we go up to higher levels in the Lord, greater devils are right there trying to defeat and destroy!
First off for those that do not know my calling as a worship intercessor:
The Lord told me to stand in the gap for the body of Christ that she would come to her place in worship where the Lord would release His heart cry as a mighty roar that would repel powers of darkness away from the lost so that they could respond to His love and receive His saving grace. He showed me this after I released a mighty roar in Merrit Island, FL during high praise and worship and it was so strong I thought it was going to blow me apart. The travail was loud in the spirit realm because I asked those around me if they heard it and they did not! Then in Cocoa, I roared in the Spirit after being prayed for by a mighty intercessor where I felt out on to my side and the essence of a lion came over me.
And then this Sunday a prophetic lady came up to me and said that she sees me as a midwife and that I am birthing forth the will of God. This is the same prophesy spoken to me over seven years ago when a prophetic lady saw me as in the third trimester in birthing forth the will of God.
And when she said that I started to travail so loud and deep and long with such power and the other intercessors around me said to keep going there is more! And then the travail turned into a mighty roar that made the other roars I released like the roar from a lion cub! And they kept saying there is more! And more and more I roared!
She said it was so loud and she thought I was going to break my back as the strength of the roar bent me backwards from the top part of my body. I am still sore from it and for a day my throat felt like it was going to be sore, but I came against it. So in Jesus name I started to release the birthing I've been believing for.
This all happened after I prayed the Lord show me where I was to be planted. He showed me to get my priorities in order concerning my ministry. And I submitted to His leading, and He planted me in a body where there was an apostolic mantle so that I would have the strength of the authority in the Spirit and the protection to enable me to start birthing in the Spirit His will.
I told the Lord over seven years ago that if He was going to put that type of anointing upon me that He would have to give me a body that can hold it! And that is when He showed me to stand in the gap for the body to come to the place of worship and obedience she needs to be so He could release this travail through her all of the world.
After all this has happened I was able to lead my neighbor who is Roman Catholic to the Lord and she got saved. But also when Levi was dancing in the mall he sprained his ankle! He has had several attacks on his right foot and I ask you to pray for him for complete restoration and strength in it. I know when he dances, and everywhere he dances, that it releases the glory of the Lord, and the devil don't like it!
So yes, I am finally planted in a body with a pastor that has an apostolic mantle over a church called The Arc of The Covenant Worship Center. And she is a radical worshiper and the Lord shows her to use mighty weapons of warfare. And this most recent weapon the Lord showed her to use is a three-prong hay fork!!! Now that wasn't easy to find! We are breaking up fallow ground and the Lord is watering to bring forth a mighty harvest.
And we are going after those serpents that are hidden in people's lives using this hay fork! She had a dream she was on the beach and there was three pythons there. A large, medium and one hidden in the sand. He said to go after the third one with the hay fork and that it wouldn't be able to escape even though it appears to be hidden.
So if you ever feel to visit. We are in Melbourne, FL. At present we are small but we are mighty. And the Lord showed me why we are small now. Pastor Cecilia has the level of authority needed to set the captives free and at the same type pull out your gifts and even perfect them in training. She is a mighty warrior and she is training up His bride to be the same!!!
He said the following:
I will raise you up from a wimp to a warrior at The Arc of The Covenant Worship Center. Pastor Cecilia stands up against the enemy, and causes him to run scattered in several directions, like David coming aginst the giant. Many don't want to be a part of the church, because they don't want to be known by the enemy as a warrior, and they fear the repercussions of the warfare, the backlash.
But we stand firm, covered with the Armor of Light and His glory that blinds the enemy, and the oil of the Holy Spirit so that he cannot get his grasp upon us. We are fervent, relentless warriors.
Lord, give us wisdom in our warfare, grace in our quest, Truth being our sword, Love as our shield, Faith uncompromising. "March 14, 2008"
If interested to come, let me know and I will give you directions, times of services, etc.
Well, that's it for now!
Blessings!

Please pray for my husband. I just found out that he had an accident at work. He is a trucker and I thank the Lord that he didn't have an accident while driving his truck!!!!! But while his truck was being unloaded someone driving a forklift knocked a stack of pallets towards him and knocked him off of a dock which was over four feet high!!! He fell on his head and broke his arm and will be out of work for a while. Please pray that the Lord will take care of him and give him a speedy healing with very minimum of pain and that I will be a good nurse and helper to him and that the peace of the Lord will reign in the whole situation including our finances.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support! Abundant blesings to you! Remember all things work together for our good according to His plan and purpose.
Love in Christ,
Yolanda

Here is some good news. I received $20 from the Lord from a dear sister and brother in the Lord for the purchase of my book, We Need To Start Somewhere. They knew that I have offered my book free on line but felt that I should receive some money for the book and where could they buy it. I told them that as yet it has not been published and if they wanted to give a love offering into At The Father's Feet ministry. So I am believing this money received is a seed planted towards the publishing of my book!!! Anyone who feels led to agree with me. Two or more agreeing upon anything, it shall be done.
Also I wanted to share that since I have been writing to my nephew Adam in prison I know he has received the Lord, has been reading the bible, praying and going to a bible study. No one in his family has visited him even on Christmas and he has been depending on any money received for his personal hygiene products which now he doesn't have much. He doesn't get paid hardly anything in prison to even save up for these needs. All that he has been through he has kept his heart right and shows no sign of bitterness which is amazing for such a young man in such an awful atmosphere! I know the Lord has had His hand upon him protecting him all the way around!
He shows such a strong desire to have a Christian wife or even a friend who he can confide in. He has no fellowship from the outside. So if there is anyone who is in the prison ministry who feels led to reach out to Adam I know it would greatly bless him and the Lord. Whatever you do for the least of these you are doing unto the Lord! If the Lord puts on your heart to write or to give love gifts, please contact me. I can give you his address. He has one for letters and one to receive money.
Adam has been in prison since he was sixteen and now he's around 21. He got the maximum sentence for his crime which the others he had been with got off scott free! He was running with a wild bunch then and vandalized a school. I know he has learned his lesson and just wants to do right.
Any words of encouragement or even teaching from the Lord would be appreciated. He has a tender heart towards the Lord.
I know the Lord loves him and wants to bless him and that is why I am reaching out to you, His people!
Thank you always for your love and support!
Also stand fast for my son's deliverance from epilepsy. The enemy has been coming on as a flood and I know that if in the natural things look like they are getting worse, deliverance is on its way! We just have to hold on to the end!
I pray an outpour of God's blessings upon you of grace and peace, joy unspeakable and glory, His anointing and intimate presence. May you always prosper and be in health as your soul prospers in Him!!
Love in Christ,
Yolanda

Blessings to all! The name of my book is We Need To Start Somewhere and that is my motto when I am to attempt anything that looks like a major difficulty, even tackling a messy kitchen you need to start anywhere, lol. The main thing is to step out and start moving in God's will.
Well I am stepping out and sharing my heart's desire.
Since we've been through the fire and warfare has been tremendous, we need to be refreshed in His presence, and just have a time to bask in His love and enter into His heart for breakthrough.
The desire of my heart is to pull together a prophetic worship conference where we would have the freedom to be completely led by His Spirit to worship, intercede, dance, share encouragement to overcome all hindrances from entering in and pressing through to get to that place of ultimate breakthrough allowing His river to wipe away the dams enabling His heart cry to come through. Yes, we need to be in His perfect will these end times to usher in His harvest.
We would need musicians, praisers, dancers, worshipers, intercessors, prophetic teachers, and most of all prayer for the finances and for His perfect timing.
Thank you for the midwives!

I know many know of my trials in believing for my son's deliverance from epilepsy and autism. Yesterday we came under major attack, maybe it was because of leading my neighbor to the Lord and blessing him with a healing scripture notebook I put together. I was so blessed that the Lord anointed the Word to his heart so mightily. Well, back to my trial. My son started to have a seizure sitting at the kitchen table and he weighs 145 and is 5'9 and I am 5'3. The Lord gave me the strength to lift him out of the chair and literally flowed, twirled or danced all the way to the living room to lie him down on the carpet! I could feel my shoes slip off and Levi was so light! Amazing Grace!
And then later I sat down to pray seeking the Lord for wisdom concerning my son and I got this word. If this witnesses with you, please stand with me that this will come to pass! Thank you so much!
Love in Christ,
Yolanda
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and know that I have everything under control in order for you to receive a mighty harvest in the way of healing for your son. For the way for you has been long and treacherous, but you have remained faithful to My word and My will. And I know that you will remain faithful even up to the end when I will manifest your son's healing. And then I will take him to the multitudes to do a mighty work of healing through him where he will set the captives free and prepare them for their own ministries of deliverance and healing.
Yes, it will not be just a work that I am doing that will just effect Levi's life, but many will come to know Me through Levi in a mighty way for I will raise Levi up as a mighty warrior who will defeat the enemy in many ways by using My word as the sword of cutting through and My shield to mend the hearts that have been effected by the deception of the enemy coming down for generations. Yes, I will cut through using the truth of My word and My faith to mend the hearts and restore using the promises covered in My word.
I know that it has not been an easy road for you, but I know you and you are faithful. So remain faithful to the end, and I will mightily reward you with the desires of your heart to break through on behalf of My body using the tool of worship and intercession. And yes, I will reign mighty through you and yes, I will roar and it will spread to others who will release My heart cry, and then you will see those who are lost ushered into My kingdom in droves.
This is only the beginning. Hold fast to the end. Don't fear for I am near and know that all things work together for the good of promoting My kingdom and My glory.
I ask the body to pray that my book will be published and circulated around the world to share what I believe to be the secret to true revival. It is as we gather with the saints being of one mind and in one accord with the spirit of true worship and intercession. As we lose ourselves in His presence, He will travail through us so powerfully that it will repel powers of darkness away from the lost so that they will be able to respond to His love. What an awesome and powerful heartcry the Lord has for the lost and He wants to share it with each and every one of you. The book shares what the Lord took me through to get to the point to catch the vision of how to breakthrough for this great mission. The book can be read on my site:
WE NEED TO START SOMEWHERE.
Abundance of blessings to you in the Father's presence!
Also stand with me for my son Levi's deliverance and healing from autism and epilepsy. And also stand with me for my own healing.
Love in Christ, Yolanda
