Each year, I feel called to the mountain to pray. This year it is the same except different. My favorite prayer mountain is about 600 miles away and I usually pray at about 9,000 -10,000 feet in elevation. It was on this mountain that I first heard from God:

I’ve marked my journal to pray each of the 10 days for you, Judy. Father protect this trip and remove every hindrance to your perfect will being done through this trip.
I’ve been asking the Lord to make me ready and worthy of his presence in and with me, that I may both rest and serve in his presence. I’ve been reading 1 Kings 6,7,& 8 about Solomon having a house built for the presence of the Lord. The things the Lord pointed out to me are that not only was the foundation made of huge costly stones, but that everything on the INSIDE of the temple was overlaid with pure gold. Today, he showed me Psalm 45:13 – The King’s daughter is all glorious WITHIN. Father, this is what I want to be for you.

So blessed by your blogs. I need to ask God to make me a “new person” just as you have written. He has done it before, and I know He will do it once again. The person I am is worn out, so tired, and spent. The times in which we now live require me to be a strong, revitalized, and new fully equipped soldier with my “boots on the ground” and armor and sword battle ready. I need much more of Christ activated in me in order to live, serve, and be a Kingdom blessing to others in this dark world. My present equipment is not sufficient for now as it has been for the past. What I have operated in for the past years must be revitalized and profoundly energized by the Holy Spirit for what lies ahead just over the horizon. I can see and smell the smoke ahead with my spiritual senses, but my spiritual eyes have become weakened from overuse. Lord God, I need to be made over and new for You so I can be and do what you will be calling me forth to do. Bless my Brother Ras and make him into another all new man. You have used and used what he has was, now make him into another vessel fit,new, and ready for service ahead. We know that the days will be growing darker and longer, so Lord make us as your children into new people ready and able to shine brighter and serve you with all that you give us.

Yes I believe I am supposed to pray. When will you be doing this?
God woke me up this morning reminding me of a word that He had given me of something I would be doing. It included the provision for it. I have been struggling just barely getting by and not doing the things God had shown me. So this word was a real blessing.
Later in the morning I went through a horrible battle. I knew it was the enemy it was so severe. I cried out and cried out to God. I was desperate. He reminded me of the following scriptures – that when the enemy comes in one way, God will cause him to flee seven ways. That God will contend with him who contends with me and that HE will save my children and grandchildren. That God will cause even my enemies to be at peace with me. In other words, the battle belongs to the Lord. When the enemy attacks me, God is the one who will fight for me.
The reading at church today was Genesis 17:3-9
When Abram prostrated himself, God spoke to him: “My covenant with you is this:
you are to become the father of a host of nations. No longer shall you be called Abram;
your name shall be Abraham, for I am making you the father of a host of nations.
I will render you exceedingly fertile; I will make nations of you; kings shall stem from you.
I will maintain my covenant with you and your descendants after you throughout the ages as an everlasting pact, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
I will give to you and to your descendants after you the land in which you are now staying, the whole land of Canaan, as a permanent possession; and I will be their God.”
God also said to Abraham: “On your part, you and your descendants after you must keep my covenant throughout the ages.”
Psalm 105 was the psalm they read. They kept repeating the verse, “The Lord remembers His covenant forever.”
God showed me that His promises are all based on His covenant with us which started with Abraham and was fulfilled in Christ. The battle has already been won. When the enemy comes against us, we just have claim the finished work of the cross and let God fight the battle for us. How can we lose, when the battle has already been won and we have God fighting for us?
God has always used 2 Chron. 20 in my life. When the enemies came against Jehosaphat, they cried out to God. God told the, Tomorrow go out against them. You will not need to fight in this battle. You will just have to stand still and see the salvation of of the Lord. As they went out against their enemies and sang and praised the Lord for the victory (by faith), God sent ambushes against their enemies and defeated them before they even got there. All they had to do was collect the plunder.
So I believe God is already beginning to change me to see from a different perspective. I had a vision of me being on a mountain top as a little girl. There was a flower there that I wanted so badly, but every time I almost grasped it, a giant would stomp on my hand and say, No, you can’t have it. This represented all the visions/dreams God had given me. But God has now shown me that that giant has to contend with God from now on. God is fighting my battles. I just have to continue believing and claiming the victory. So yes I do need this prayer time.

I heard the lyrics of the song, “I Will Dance With You,” by Ruth Fazel, in my heart this morning. I specifically heard, “Come and dance with me on the mountain tops…” You can look the rest of the lyrics up on the internet. It is Jesus’ invitation for His bride to dance with Him.
Then I remembered a prophetic word that Julie Myer had where Jesus said “It is Time to Dance.” Please watch this video. It is in three parts but it is definitely a word from the Lord on His invitation to dance. He is saying that it is time to dance upon injustice.
Lastly,
I Hope You Dance

In response to your “heart for the children of Nairobi” and all the other children, I woke up this morning thinking about something.
One time I was meeting alcoholics everywhere for a week. I noticed a book titled “Believe in the God Who Believes in You,” by Dr. Schuller. I asked God to show me what He wanted me to read. I opened it up to the page where Dr. Schuller asked Mother Teresa if he could pray a prayer for her. She said Yes. He said that when he built the Crystal Cathedral, he wrote a prayer and her life had been an answer to that prayer. the prayer was, “Lord, make my life a window for Your light to shine through and a mirror to reflect Your love to all I meet. Amen.
After this, she gave me a blessing, saying, “Dr. Schuller: Be all and only for Jesus without His having to consult you first.”
That night, I went to a bible study. A woman came in and gave me a miniature crystal cathedral on a mirror with a pink rose on the front. She told me that her mother, who was an alcoholic, had asked me to give it to me.
As we talked about the book God had led me to and her bringing the miniature crystal cathedral to me, one of the women told me, Mother Teresa would go into a town and pray and ask God for a building. Within one week she would have a building.
I believe God was showing me that what is holding you back from reaching out to the children in Nairobi and other places is that you can’t face to see all of that suffering and not be able to do something about it.
I believe God is saying that if we will pray that He will provide for the children in the same way He provided for Mother Teresa.
The scripture that He has repeatedly given me is the Book of Haggai. When they weren’t building God’s house, He blew on their money. But when they were building it, He blessed them with all they needed.
It is God’s will for His house of living stones, taken from the rubbish heap, to be built. He will bless as you build. The Lord is your shepherd and these children’s shepherd. You shall not lack.

I had a dream last night that I believe relates to this blog and the other one that you posted on the economic warning and America. This has a lot in it, but I believe that it is important for us. Please pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding of this.
In the dream I was in a car outside a school. I heard some evil people (or demons) talking about how they were going to kidnap the leaders and take them to a mountain and do horrible things to them. The evil people (demons) saw me and said that I wouldn’t get away. Somehow, I got out of the car and started running to the school to warn the leaders. I ran through the school but couldn’t find any leaders – teachers, staff, administrators. I woke up with my heart pounding because I was still running.
When you gave the warning concerning our economics and America, I had the dream of the Jasmine plant. Jasmine means Messenger of Love. It had died, but in the dream it disappeared. You mentioned that this was a warning that God would remove our lampstand if we did not repent. We do not light a lamp to put it under a bushel basket. If we’re not using our lamp to light the world, why wouldn’t God take it away?
The other day when you gave the word on prayer, I thought of the songs/words of it being time to dance. Yesterday I had basically decided that that is what God wanted me to do – just spend time worshipping Him. I even thought of several places to have houses of prayer. But then I had the warning dream last night that the enemy was going to take the leaders to the mountain and hurt them.
When I was at a house of prayer, Jesus came up to me and took my eyeballs out. When He gave them back to me, I saw myself in a harvest field. He said, Don’t ever forget that it is all about the harvest.
I believe what God is saying is that Yes we do have to go to the mountain top and pray, but that is not an end in itself. The purpose of it is so that we can come back down and reach out to the multitudes. The word Ras got on the mountain was Isaiah 52:7 (AMP) “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!”
One time Mel Tari came to a meeting in our state. He had a vision of a parking lot of cars with their engines revving. He said that we didn’t have any excuse. All we had to do was get in the car and step on the gas and go. He said that he and his village had received two hours of the filling of the Holy Spirit. They had walked to another village and evangelized it. He said that we had had a whole weekend. We had no excuse. How much filling have we received in America. But what have we done with what we have received?
When I prayed about this dream, God reminded me of the one time that I have heard His audible voice. On the way to communion, He said, This is the Table of the Lamb. You are the rich man. You are to go to the Lazarus’s. This put the fear of God in me because the rich man ended up in Hades and Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham. God’s ways are not our ways.
God also reminded me of how many times He has told me that His church needs to be in the neighborhoods – in the darkness.
So I believe the dream I had of the enemy kidnapping the leaders and taking them to the mountain to harm them is a warning not to get stuck in just praying and praying, but to realize that prayer is to lead to action. The early church prayed until they were endued with power, but it was so that they would be a witness for Jesus.
Jesus said, As the Father has sent me, so I send you.
He said, Go and make disciples of all nations….
Jesus asked Peter three times, Do you love me? Each time Peter said Yes, Jesus said “Feed my sheep/lambs.”
When Michael Jackson died, God gave me three songs. After I listened to the songs, God spoke John 3:16 to me. “For God so loved the world that He GAVE….” Jesus did not stay in glory and simply pray for us. He came to earth and became one with us and laid down His life so that we might have life. He told us that we were to love one another as He loved us. Jesus did not stay on the Mount of Transfiguration and pray for the young boy to be delivered. He came down off the mountain and delivered the boy. I believe God is saying the same thing He has said all along “Go and make disciples of all nations.”
The song “The Father Loves You” came to mind.
The three songs that God gave me when Michael Jackson died are:
Feed the World
Heal the World
We are the World
After this, God spoke John 3:16 to me:
For God so loved the world that He GAVE….
Love gives.

This applies to the word Ras had about the warning I believe. I had a dream that night about a Jasmine plant disappearing.
Yesterday, I shared about a dream I had where I was in a car at a school. I overheard evil people (demons) talking about how they were going to kidnap the leaders and take them to a mountain and harm them. I was running to the leaders to tell them but I couldn’t find anyone to warn. I sensed that God was showing me that we can get caught up in only praying and not going.
Today, I went by a “thrift store” that used to be a house of prayer. I was quite offended by this and let the person know. I didn’t know how they could change a house of prayer into a thrift store.
When I got home, I repented for judging. As I was praying, I saw Jesus washing what seemed like glasses or a windshield (what I would see through). It was if they were blurred and he was cleaning them so I could see clearly. After this, He poured His blood over my eyes. I just rested in this for a while.
Afterwards, God reminded me of the times that He had revealed Himself to me in “thrift stores.” I had volunteered in a thrift store in a Christian ministry that ministers to homeless people when my daughter was pregnant with my granddaughter “Jasmine.” One day a person brought a box of clothes in. They were all baby girl clothes. They were a gift from God for Jasmine.
One time, I went in a second-hand store downtown. A homeless man came up to me and asked me to take him to church. He showed me his hat. It was filled with angel pins. He told me that little children had given him the pins. When I went to the check-out, I asked the woman where she went to church. She told me and said, I’m glad that he doesn’t go there. When I went back to take him to church, he was nowhere to be found.
A woman from the Philippines saved her lunch money to send me to a Benny Hinn conference. She took me to a second hand store and bought me two beautiful dresses.
I had to go back and ask the man at the thrift store to forgive me. I told him that God had shown me how many times He had revealed Himself to me in thrift stores. I heard a little baby. It was this young man’s daughter. Her name is “Nevaeh.” He told me that it spells heaven backwards.
I believe that what God is saying is that we may be missing Jesus in the least of our brothers. Jesus came as a little baby in a stable and the religious leaders missed him. I pray that God will give us His eyes to see Jesus in the least of our brothers and sisters.
The song that comes to mind is “Does Anybody Hear Her?” I don’t want to crowd this blog with videos, but you can look it up on Youtube and watch it.

This morning I am thinking about a woman who I know. She gave a testimony of how she prayed that God would give her father the desire of his heart. His father had always wanted to build a house. God answered her prayer. God started giving her father the blueprint for the house. The woman would visit him and he would seem to be off somewhere else. He told her that he was thinking about the house. He and other elderly men started building the house. When they started building, they were very sick and weak. But as they built, God renewed their strength. They were healed as they built. I drove by the house and saw that it was on Gold Street. The streets around it were names of trees and Silver. I thought of the Book of Haggai. I told God that I could really be imagining these things. He told me that I could be imagining them if it weren’t for the messages He had given me from the Book of Haggai.
So let’s pray and ask God to give Ras and other leaders the deisre of their hearts. Let’s pray and ask God to give them the blueprint for His house of living stones and ask God to bless all the work of their hands. May they be healed and be strengthened and prosper as they work on the desire of their hearts, which is also God’s desire.

Would you please pray for great discernment? I believe that is something we really need to pray for. Please pray that we will not be deceived.
Today, I went by a “thrift store” that used to be a house of prayer. I was very grieved to see that it had been changed into a store. But later God reminded me of the times that He had used thrift stores in my life.
I didn’t have any money for the rent for a meeting that I have. I called a man I know. His wife lives in the Philippines (which is one reason that I am sharing this and asking for prayer for great discernment and no deception). He told me that he would give it to me. I then told him about the thrift stores. He asked me if I would help him sell things from their house in order to be able to send money to his wife and to help him and also me. I don’t have a job.
Because of what God showed me about the thrift stores today I said I would help him. But after I talked to him, I had a check in my spirit. I was remembering things. His wife had a church here. We were praying every night. God gave a word that we were supposed to go to an apartment complex one day. Nobody showed up to go. There was one man who I asked to go. He said that he was too tired. He had been selling things making money for the church all morning.
Another time, God told me to invite a church to a bbq He was hosting for homeless people. God had provided everything for it. God asked me, Or will they be too busy making more money? They were having a yard sale at a nice home.
This whole business of money is very difficult for me. All of the doctors gave up on me. I had the best insurance money could buy but they didn’t have any answers. God pulled it all away from me and had me sit at his feet for two years with one scripture–that if He takes care of the birds in the air and the flowers in the field how much more would He take care of me. That is how I got my healing. That same scripture says that we are not to worry about what we eat or drink or wear, but we are to seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else will be added.
I spent a whole inheritance going to Christian conferences and meetings and buying books, teachings, etc., but in the end the same thing happened again. God showed me that I had become totally lost. He pulled them all away and had me sit at Jesus’ feet again.
I really need prayer in this – that I will hear clearly from God on what to do. I need money for the things God has shown me to do, but I also know the extreme limitations of money. Money cannot change hearts, only Jesus can do that. A couple scriptures God has given me are that a man of war does not concern himself with the things of this world and The days of the Coming of the Son of Man will be like the days of Noah. They will be buying and selling….when sudden destruction comes.
I believe that all of us need to pray and ask God to give us great discernment in this. I know that most of my miracles that were impossible happened when I spent time with Jesus. I really believe that we need to do what God said and seek first the kingdom of God and everything else will be added.

I believe this relates to Ras’ word on judgment. As you read this, please remember the only way that the Israelites could enter the Promised Land is by applying the blood on their doorposts (today is Holy Thursday, the Last Supper), leaving Egypt, going through the wilderness led by the Spirit and learning that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Most of them died in the wilderness because of unbelief. Jesus had to do the same thing. When He entered His ministry, He was baptized in the Holy Spirit but then He was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness for 40 days. He defeated the devil by the Word of God, saying “It is written.” We won’t get into our Promised Land any other way.
Thank you for your prayers for discernment concerning the “thrift stores.” I cannot judge them. God has revealed Himself to me in these places several times. We cannot judge between rich and poor but should see everyone through the blood of Jesus. We were not redeemed with gold or silver but by the precious blood of the Lamb. I think God has revealed Himself to me the most among the very poor.
However, I didn’t feel comfortable doing a yard sale because of the many things God has shown me. When I spoke to the man who is married to the woman in the Philippines yesterday, he said that he didn’t have time for a bible study but had time to clean out the house and sell things. I told him that Jesus had asked him to be a disciple. God and His Word had to come first. I told him that I couldn’t help him with selling things unless we were doing a bible study first. I told him that I had to make this clear to him before I took any money from him for the Indian Center. He was fine with it.
I believe God confirmed this afterwards. I was looking for a teaching to take to the Indian Center. I saw a teaching called “Taste Heaven Now.” It has rain coming down on it and the key scripture is Acts 3:19, “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,” This teaching is about how we have replaced drinking from God with earthly things and teaches how to drink from God rather than earthly sources. Jer. 2:13 says that God’s people have committed two evils. They have forsaken Him the fountain of living water and hewn broken cisterns that can hold no water. As I saw the rain on the cover, I remembered what God had told me. I had asked Him for a word for where my provision was. He said, “I will send showers of blessings.” I felt the rain of His presence. God was showing me that the blessings are in His Holy Spirit. The promise of the Father is the Holy Spirit. Every other blessing is contained in the Holy Spirit. We are to seek first the Kingdom of God.
This morning I woke up with two scriptures. “The righteous shall live by faith.” and “We walk by faith and not by sight.” I turned on Kenneth Copeland’s ministry and heard him speak on 2 Cor. 9:8, “God is able to make all grace abound towards you so that you always having all sufficiency in all things may abound in every good work.”
The reason that God wants His Spirit and His Word first in our lives is so that He can give us the blessings He has for us that far surpass anything we could get by our own efforts.
After I was initially filled with the Holy Spirit, I went in a church that taught me to live by radical faith in God’s Word. When I would say that I was sick, they would tell me that I wasn’t. They would show me God’s Word and tell me that it said that I was healed. I hated this because in the natural I was sick. But after a year of being drilled in God’s Word I was off all medications. God took me off of these gradually. The medicine would stop working. The more medicine I would take the worse I would get. I would know that I had to just seek God more for healing. He was the only answer. After I got baptized, God told me that I had chosen the tree of life and that I was to go off the rest of my medicine and my disability. He said that He would take care of me. The last medicine was very difficult to go off of. My head would start pounding and I would go back on it. God told me to go to communion and then read healing scriptures and I would be able to believe I was healed. After I did this, God spoke to me and said, The Word became flesh. I knew the scriptures I had been reading had become my flesh. I knew that I was healed. I am now trying to get back to that faith. I have no other choice. Please pray for God’s grace.
One time I went back to the doctor and got antibiotics. God had already taken me off of these. I took one and the next day I couldn’t get out of bed I was so sick. God spoke to me and said, I told you how to do it, but if you want to do it your own way go ahead.
I believe that is true for us as the Body of Christ also. We can continue doing it our way or we can do it God’s way. He gives us free will and doesn’t force us to do anything. But I knew that I would only get worse the more medicine I took. The only answer was Jesus.
I had a vision of Jesus standing over the world with His blood pouring out on it. Later, God showed me a vision of my yard filled with weeds. God asked me, Why are there weeds in your yard? It should be like the Garden of Eden because it has been redeemed from the curse. He told me to speak blessings over my family. I have not done well at all in this. It has been a horrible battle. But that is why God is saying to walk by faith and not by sight. The giants in the land weren’t what killed the Israelites. Their unbelief killed them.
“They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” (Rev. 12:11)
“Come, and let us return to the LORD; for He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight.
Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.” (Hos. 6:1-3)

Today, I have prayed for you and for myself for increased and more accurate discernment in all matters.

Today, I have agreed in prayer and stand in trust for the manifestation of all that is written herein. I believe it is none other than our beloved Holy Spirit giving us what to pray and praise for and thanking our awesome God, great King and loving Father for this blue print. Pesach or Passover occurred at sundown 18 April and we have officially entered into this new era that is a season to go and build. Maryland, your revelation of the house building is so timely and right on. One of the things I have begun observing and praying for has been for modern day commerce to come forth in these poor nations. Just think, China has built it’s empire from manufacturing toys, trinkets and electronics! I once saw on the internet a photo taken in about 2007 that was snapped of a group of people still living a tribal lifestyle that would have dated from centuries ago. They wore no clothes and were hurling their spears at a helicopter. My first thought was that these people need a grocery store. I am praying for business to come to nations that need advancement and prosperity to be able to care for themselves with enough wealth to begin caring for others. Of course, just like Marylyn pointed out, the most important thing is Jesus Christ. Papa Ras, I thank God for you and Mom Bev and Aunt Kathy and the Fullness In Christ family because as you have brought the true Bread and Water of Life to the people of the Philippines and other nations, where they will hunger and thirst no more in their inner-most being, truly our God will provide for the vessel and it’s physical needs that is the true house for the real treasure — our hearts and lives sold out to Jesus and the Kingdom of our great King. Trusting, praising, praying and believing for God’s glory unlike ever before. I love you dearly, Deedee
