Take two pieces of paper
On one make a list of everything that's holding you down or keeping you from your destiny
It could be areas of personal defeat, defect in character, circumstances, anything oppositional to you. Make a list of things & number them. If you have 35 things on that list number them 1-35. Those are all the hindrances that are against you. 
God wants to take every one of those hindrances & teach you the advantage each one brings. 
On second piece of paper you number it (1-35 or whatever you have on your first list). 
You start with number 1 on your first list & you ask what is the opposite of that? Then write it down on your second paper. Go to number 2 -what's the opposite of that & write it across number 2. All the way down your list until you have a list of complete opposites. Then you go to that second page & you assign a promise or a blessing or a prophetic word you have received  that's relevant to each opposite & you write it beside that number. 
Then have a CELEBRATION & BURN the first list. Because you don't need it anymore because that is no longer your focus. 
BURN the first list, keep the second because the second was assigned to you of all the permissions & blessings God wants to release into your life. All those carry a "YES" & "AMEN" to everyone of them. That second list is all the things that you are becoming in this life. 
You now have a record of all Gods dealings with you in the foreseeable future. 
The second list represents the will of God for you next! You're going to have an experience of him in all those areas!!!
The second list is your promises, your prophecies, your permission, your identity, your destiny, your anointing, your blessing, your freedom, your faith, your empowering, your abiding, your trusting, your joy, your confidence & your covenant. It's all on that list. The Lord is saying "I want to do everything that's on that list!"
What you will learn through this process when you have finished is how to quickly turn a negative into a positive. 
You will learn how to see in the opposite spirit & assign promises & blessings into your adversity so that you can count everything as joy.

Encounter Jesus in the Noise

 In 2020, as a “grounded missionary, I was thinking in terms of “transition”. Everyone was pivoting to online, in person meetings were cancelled, life looked like adapt - adapt - adapt.  By January of 2021 I realized the “normal” I was waiting for probably wasn’t going to happen. This wasn’t just about “transition” from one season to the next. Something else was happening. Emotionally I felt adrift.  Soon after I met Merri Ellen Geisbrecht, a Christian Life Coach and Spiritual Director, through an online event for women who desired to encounter Jesus in a deeper way in the midst of the Noise.  I immediately felt this was a God opportunity. I was impressed and could relate to her testimony of beating depression and connecting with Jesus in listening prayer. Her foundation in the Word and her hunger for intimacy to hear from God resonated with where I felt my own journey was going.  She had a 5 day group coaching event in May called “Encounter Jesus in the Noise”. In this event she led w

Walking on Water

I have a Matryoshka Doll (or nesting doll). I got it in Belarus. It is a doll in a doll in a doll etc. Each internal doll is an exact duplicate of the outside one. As I was looking at it a few weeks back I was thinking about my walk with the Lord. The Bible talks about our created purpose to be filled with the Spirit of God, to show His life to others – to reflect more of Christ and less of us. That’s an interesting concept “to be filled with His Spirit”. Joshua was described as ‘filled with the Spirit” because Moses had laid his hands on him (Deut. 34:9). Joshua was amazing in all that he accomplished with God. John the Baptist on the other hand was filled with the Spirit from his mother’s womb (Luke 1:15). He was used by the Spirit of God to prepare hearts for the Messiah. Peter being filled with the Spirit (Act 4:8-13) astonished the people who heard him speak because of the power and anointing of God. Paul was described as “filled with the Spirit” as he exposed Elymas dece

Summer Ministries

By -
It has been and is continuing to be a great summer. We really enjoyed Rachael, our intern featured in Pirates of the Palouse, and the kids at the various camps and churches. One young man, Christopher, stands out in my mind. He had never been to church and was brought by a neighbor to camp where he gave his life to Jesus. Then began to read the bible for the first time. This particular camp had a Bible Quiz each night with teams competing. Christopher quized second highest! Unbelievable! Of course some of his answers needed a bit of translating. Like when the official asked who appeared to the shepherds and announced the birth of Jesus. Christopher replied, "A band of heavenly ghosts!" The judge accepted it.
