PERSONAL PROPHESIES - The purpose of My sharing the following personal prophesies and intercession is to draw in those with like vision and heart of intercession that the Lord has given them.
THE ROAR OF THE LION OF JUDAH
March 19, 2008
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!

At The Father's Feet
HUMBLY SEEKING THE MIDWIVES
June 26, 2002
I am humbly seeking prayer backup. I have known for a long time that I need the midwives to stand behind me, because I know I do not have the spiritual strength to bring forth what God is birthing in me. I am not looking to lift myself up before man for I do not carry a title. I am just one who loves to worship the Lord and learn how to yield myself as a vessel of intercession. So those led to pray, I greatly appreciate.
A HEART'S CRY
January 14, 2002
Standing in the rain let the glory fall upon you and sweep away all that is not of God. Let Him refresh you and rejuvenate you and lift up your spirit. Draw close to Him and worship Him in the beauty of holiness. Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day to choose once and for all who you are to serve.
So many are held back in their commitment, because there is so much that stands in our way. So much of the world distracts us and eats up our time where we can have intimacy with our Lord and Maker. Lord, cleanse our hearts and take away all that is not of You. Cleanse us of the temptation to lust after the things of the world to receive fulfillment.
For this is a snare of the enemy and I look to You, Lord, for full deliverance. This is a day of new beginnings, and You have done so much for us. We are looking to You for more, Lord. For without You we can do nothing. Our holiness comes only from and through You.
Sweep away the cob webs, give us clear insight and discernment. Cleanse us, purify us, strengthen us, refresh us. Pour out great grace upon us. Give us the burden of Your heart that You want each of us specifically to bear for this day. Take us to the garden and keep us there until we have made up our mind to die completely out.
Bring anything to the surface that is not settled in our lives, even areas of disobedience, unforgiveness, deception, pride, etc. Give us open and teachable hearts, Lord. Give us a major overhaul in areas where needed. Lord, Lord, Lord, we need You! We cannot do it on our own. And I thank you for you see our hearts. In Jesus name I pray.
WIND FOR THE FINAL STRETCH
December 31, 2001
The enemy is coming in strong because he knows his time is up and that he is losing his grip. So now he is pulling in his big guns for enforcement because he doesn't want to give up without putting in his last fight. Even though he is coming on strong, he is making many stupid moves which is bringing him out of obscurity. He has stayed hidden for many years, playing dormant giving little trouble in this process, but now the panic is on, and he is moving in ways that is giving away his identity and now that he is showing his ugly head, he is getting blasted right and left. Even though it might feel like we are getting the black eye, he's the one who's getting it! What he means for harm is working for our good.
Father, I pray that You will strengthen us in this battle and bring reinforcements and gird us up even stronger than ever before. Refresh us with the wind of Your glory. Breathe in us, Most Holy Spirit, bring new life to us and lift us up. Give us the strength to let out the victory shout and dance upon injustice. Strengthen us and unite us together and refresh our vision of what is right around the corner for us. Give us wisdom and discernment and join us together as a mighty army. Even though the enemy has tried to divide us, let's cast off the lies of the enemy and the petty differences, and yield to our most powerful force and that is His love.
Cry out in travail for birthing is right at hand. Press down and push and let God's Spirit move through us like a mighty tidal wave. His glory will remove the dross and all the impurities, all that has dammed up His river. Let it go now. Let's all unite and let out that victory shout and watch the walls fall down. All that has held His people in captivity, shout it down. Press in like never before for this is the day of Jubilee. This is the day for breakthrough! Claim it and receive it and back down for nothing.
Stand with me in my personal battle with my son who is close to 30 years old battling autism and epilepsy. I know he has a calling on his life that he will travel around the world preaching and sharing his testimony. In the natural this is impossible. The enemy has come on strong against his physical body. He has had several falls on his head. The Lord has preserved him through them all, but it has been hard on me seeing him go through this fire. Also demons are manifesting violently against Levi and me and my husband. I am his main care giver and not a big person and have been worn down because of giving him supervision through the night. I have been missing fellowship with strong Christians with faith. Even those who I have reached out to have given me things to have to overcome in their comments. The battle is on, and I don't want to give up until I see the manifestation of my son's total healing and deliverance. Please pray for my strength and that literally the Lord will give me wind for this final stretch.
WE YEARN TO LOVE YOU MORE
August 17, 2001
Glory to the Lamb of God who sits upon the throne! My heart cries out, Oh, if we could get together right now and dance to our heart's content with our Lord as one!
I believe the Lord is calling me into a ministry where the anointing will gather together those who have this same heart cry to be one with our Lord and each other, and love Him wholeheartedly in worship and dance. There is so much power in dance and especially in intimacy. We begin to know the Father's heart in such a deep and profound way. And He is beginning to trust us to pour out upon us His heart's cry for the lost in a way we have never experienced.
Yes, he will roar through us His deep heart cry for those He gave His life for that do not yet know Him. Yes, he will travail through us, because we have drawn oh so close to Him that nothing else will satisfy us. We are casting off all the distractions. Our eyes our focused on Him, because He is everything to us. Our hearts yearn for Him, because He has purged us with the fire of His love. Deep cries unto deep at the sound of His waterspouts.
And His glory is falling upon us, and signs and wonders are getting ready to flow, because we are speaking His words with power and might, because we have been in His presence. He is healing our hearts and tearing down the walls, and His river of love is stirring mightily, and it will break through once and for all through His people. And it will flow out into the sea, and draw in the lost for this is the time and the hour that He is pouring out His power. Today is the day for revival, for breakthrough, that we may love Him and dance with Him throughout all eternity.
Draw together as one and cry out for unity, and that the walls will come down across the barriers of society. Cry out for pure and clean worship that is unhindered by man and by religion. Cry out that all strongholds will come down and that we will receive a pure word through the pulpits that will encourage us to lay our lives out as a sacrifice unto the Lord, that His fire will continue to burn and purge and purify, and that all darkness will come to the light, and that we will be changed.
Oh, come Lord Jesus, fulfill our heart's desire to love you more, to be filled to overflowing with your love, and that You may live through us continually. We love You, Lord, and yes, we delight in your presence. We dance in our spirits before you, and we are beginning to flow in dance outwardly in our own homes, and in the congregations, in the fields of flowers, on the streets. We will dance always, Lord, and your anointing follows us touching all in our paths. Oh, Lord, I am so stirred!
COME CLOSER TO ME
December 30, 2000
Come, My daughter, come one step closer to Me for I want to show you things that are about to happen in the heavenlies even over the area in which you live. My child, I am calling you to intercede heavily for breakthrough. I am calling you to intercede for the breakthrough for which My people long to have. Come close to Me, My child, and listen closely for I will teach you things that you need to know to effectively move in your calling of worship intercessor.
The secret is in intimacy, My child, and I need you to draw one step closer to Me. I want you to enter within the inner chambers where which I dwell. Come closer to Me, and I will speak to you the things you long to hear of My love and grace, and I will do a work in your heart of healing so that you will be able to turn around and help those who are seriously wounded in My Body.
For these people need tender loving care. They need to hear the words I have for them of love, comfort and understanding. And after they have been able to soak in My presence, then and only then will you be able to minister to them My grace and truth.
You cannot minister to them My truth until their hearts have been tenderly cared for with the oil and the wine of My love. My gladness and My healing power needs to cover them. They need to have a time first to come apart from all the stress and the strain and just be able to bask in My love.
So My child come unto Me and draw a little closer, My child. Come into My inner chambers so I can do a work in your heart so in turn you can go to My flock of wounded lambs and lead them to come under My wing, close to My heart so I can soothe them and comfort them and apply the oil and the wine of My healing power.
Once you have come to My destined place for you in worshipping Me, breakthrough will come alot easier for you and in turn more effectively pray for the breakthrough of My Body. I will show you the way. I will woo you and guide you and nestle you close under My wing and heal you, My child, for this is the time and the hour for breakthrough says your God, your Father God.
A CALL TO INTIMACY AND INTERCESSION
A Personal Word
December 17, 1998
My child, I know your heart's desire is to serve Me - to do My perfect will in your life and not be distracted. I know you desire intimacy and breakthrough for yourself and for My people. You desire revival and to see change in this nation. But, Child, you must also seek after having fellowship with My people and also with those I will draw in through My love flowing through you.
You need to come out apart from yourself and be open to My will in other areas. Yes, you are secure and even content being with Me seeking My face and pressing through. But this is only half of My will. Intimacy is to be with Me and others. I know your life has been hard. The trials you have gone through involving your health and also with your son you have allowed to have much restriction upon you. First, this has caused you depression. But now you are taking advantage of your situation and having been drawing close to Me obtaining strength and courage to be able to go on.
And you have branched out rejoicing with the fellowship I've opened up to you. Yes, you are excited about the new found friendship and attraction toward the praise team I raised up, Nexus. Yes, they are anointed of My power and might, and I will pull down strongholds through them. I will use you occasionally to back them up and to press through for breakthrough. You need to stay open to these opportuities. It's not the good time you seek after in this but for the opportunity to have good anointed praise as a medium for breakthrough in intercession.
Yes, this is your calling - a worship intercessor - and you will seek after any opportunity to worship Me to pull down strongholds through praising Me and press in for revival. Much was accomplished in the spiritual realm when you travailed using the marching band as a method to intercede for My will. You had breakthrough that night.
Your heart's desire is to have others pressing in with you -those of one mind and in one accord with what I've called you to do. But many are allowing themselves to be sidetracked from My main focus for their life. They are being distracted even so by the coming holiday, and if any purpose at all is to be achieved by it, it is to seek My face and delight in the love I want to pour out upon them. If it really was a celebration of My birthday, I would be the main focus as it is with your own birthdays.
But it is only a distraction from My will along with the many others My Church get caught up in. But I am pleased with you for you have remained separate from all that and have maintained your focus on Me and My will. Yes, I am most pleased with you. Oh, I long for all My children to long for more of Me more than life itself. For apart from Me and My presence all is vanity. Outside of My will nothing is important.
So keep your focus on Me and My will. Never become sidetracked by what others are doing. Be persistent and be determined to overcome that which is of the world and I will use you mightily. And I will bring into your life those of like character that only delight to serve Me by seeking My face. I will bless you with koinia relationships and with those that will back you up because of your faithfulness to stand.
And I will cause My river to flow through you mightily. Signs and wonders will follow My words spoken through you. Your writing in all areas will be a success in bringing My people into higher levels of worship and intercession and to be prepared adequately to press through for revival. For revival can come through the faithful persistence of only one who is determined to receive all I have for them of My power, love, and character.
My intimate presence is all they long for and breakthrough in worship. And your heart's cry is for deep to call unto deep and to have great breakthrough into My presence, and My eyes are upon you to stand in the gap and to draw others in, says the Lord. You never tire of wanting more of Me, and I am even stirring that desire up even more, My child. You have not experienced nothing yet of the fervent fervor you will have for Me. You will have such a deep longing, you will need My anointing to release it, for now you experience it in part and know not how to release the portion you have now. Believe Me, only by My Spirit will you be able to release the heart cry that I will put in you.
I am preparing you to be a vessel of My heart's travail for My Church and for those I gave My life for. So, rest now, and know that I will complete this work in you. I will prepare you spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and also physically to carry My glory, says God.
SHE DANCED BEFORE HER KING
December 10, 2001
This is humbly submitted to the Body of Christ to exalt the Lord and to encourage you to step into the River.....to accept all that the Lord has for you. For I believe that part of my calling is that of a worship intercessor. I've known this in my heart but did not understand all that it involved. And I am getting a taste of it now that whatever happens to me in the way of worship, I am standing in the gap for the body of Christ, that the blessing of the King not only falls upon me but upon His bride.
This weekend I had the opportunity to be able to worship the Lord for three nights at a local prophetic worship conference with Jo Ann McFatter as guest psalmist. It was absolutely awesome, and I know is only a taste of what is ahead for those who truly want to enter in. Nothing was rehearsed and was led purely by the Holy Spirit. In the beginning of the conference several came forth to blow the shofars, and the Holy Spirit called forth the temple priests and worshippers and dancers. It was so amazing to see all so led by His Spirit.
Prophetic dance is new to me. I started moving in it during a week of fasting and worship at our church where I just started yielding to the Spirit in a type of worship I had never done before. My whole body just moved in worship. I know it is just the beginning of moving in a higher level of worship. There was new sounds coming forth through the instruments, all in prophetic worship. There was temple dance. All I can say is "AWESOME!". We are only at the edge of a new dimension God is bringing us into as we are going deeper.
Deep calls unto deep at the sound of His waterspouts. We are going for that breakthrough no matter what. Jump into the river, and let it sweep you away. You will return not the same. Step into the realms of glory. Your hunger for Him will just increase. The more you have of His presence, the more we want. He is expanding our capacity to receive more of Him. More of Him and less of us....that is our goal....to have Jesus live His life completely through us. For He is the Mighty Warrior, the Prince of Peace, the Lover of our soul, and boy can He dance! He will sweep you off your feet in romance and also war through you with feet of thunder. Remember every move of praise you do is smiting the enemy!
I have asked the Lord why do I think I can get up in front of a church and pour out my heart to the Lord in dance. And the Lord shows me that as a worship intercessor, I am standing in the gap for the Body. As I worship, He not only sees me, He sees the body of Christ worshiping for we are one in the Spirit. I am standing in the gap for breakthrough for the Body. I love the Lord and also love His Bride, and my highest desire besides worship is to see the Body blessed in His presence.
I share the following word that was given to me. I receive it prophetically for the Body:
SHE DANCED BEFORE HER KING
12-07-01
She danced before her King, and she held back nothing.
She wrapped herself around His neck, and she chose to not let go.
No one stood in her way.
Eyes watched as she danced, and hearts yearned to be in her place.
He was her love. He was her strength, and she loved Him.
Her gift to Him was to worship Him, and He loved her.
Her desire was for Him. He consumed her. She was beautiful.
She belonged to Him, and He belonged to her.
She was His bride, and He was her Savior.
