BEING A HOUSE OF PRAYER
God is preparing Many to enter into a Gathering time of Prayer.
Recently I read a book about the History of Revival in our Nation.
During the 1850's there was a time of such Great Spiritual
Awakening that Prayer meetings went on all day, and where so
large that people where left standing outside. Many didn't go to
work, and some Work places simply had to close down and let
the Holy Spirit have its way. I had always thought that the Great
Revivals we heard about in Wells and Ireland, started there,
and came here, but it was the other way around. Many from
over the Sea heard of what the Lord was doing here, and came
here to see, and then went Home and the Lord began to work
there as well. But it was a Great Move of Prayer. It brought Great
conviction on people so much that they simple fell and laid prostrate
on the floor in public places.( Revival Fire by Wesley Duewel)
WORD ON WRESTLING IN THE NIGHT WATCHES OF OUR LIVES
Since the beginning of this year, many have been wrestling in the
nightwatches. They feel terribly isolated. They felt called by God to
come apart into the wilderness to spend time in intimate isolation and
relationship with Him.
In obedience to the Lord to come apart to be with Him, they have left all.
They've watched as all they have been involved in has passed them by. They
have ventured alone into the wilderness.
Instead of finding the Lord, they have found that it feels as if God has
left them. They have forced themselves to wrestle in prayer, to wrestle in
fasting, to wrestle in reading the Word. They have wrestled with despair,
they have wrestled with discouragement, they have wrestled with memories
of past experiences. They have wrestled with remaining alone in the
wilderness instead of abandoning their wrestling.
All through the long nightwatches, they have wrestled. Now, just as day is
breaking, the hand of the Lord has fallen upon them. They feel that God's
hand has broken and changed in some fashion something deep within them.
This is the most critical time of their wrestling. Even though they are now
wounded, they continue to wrestle.
It is at this moment of deepest pain and darkness, that the Lord will come
to them, and speak words of blessing and encouragement to them.
The Lord will change their name. Those who have been called fearful, will
now be called brave. Those who have been called doubting, will now be called
believing. Those who have been called forsaken, will now be called
beloved. Those who have been called cast down, will now be called hopeful.
The Lord is speaking to them of how they have prevailed in their
wrestling. He has wounded them. He has left His mark upon them for all of
time.
Many have seen the Lord in their time of face-to-face wrestling with Him.
Their wound from the hand of the Lord is also their blessing from Him.
From their season of night time wrestling, they have prevailed, and they will
never be the same.
They are even now passing over the brook. The sun is rising upon them even
as they limp painfully away from their time of wrestling.
Just as Jacob immediately met his estranged brother, Esau, after his time
of wrestling, so also will many immediately meet their fiercest adversary and
enemy immediately after their time of wrestling. The Lord had already
spoken to Esau about treating Jacob well. The Lord has also gone ahead of
many of us to smooth the path before us. We have prevailed in our wrestling,
and will also prevail over any enemy that is coming towards us.
As Jacob crossed over the brook Jabbok, the sun rose upon him. The sun is
also rising upon us. The SON has risen upon us.
After his meeting and reconciliation with Esau, Jacob (who God had renamed
"Israel"), built a house. He then built an altar. He called the altar
"El-elohe-Israel" ~~ which means, "God the God of Israel."
Those who have been wrestling in the night watches, the sun is rising, and
it is time to pass over the brook. This is the time to build a house for the
Lord to dwell within. It is time for us to build some altars.
This has been not only a time of wrestling, but a time of being sifted.
Through our wrestlings, we have been sifted of the impurities that were
within us.
The end of our wrestling does not automatically bring us discernible
victory. We will perceive what is coming against us to be evil (as Jacob
perceived the coming of his brother, Esau). Those things coming against us
will blind us and cause us to imagine things that will terrify and trouble
us. We
need to be careful to discern all that is before us in the coming days, and to
perceive these things correctly through the Holy Spirit.
This is a time to build ~~ to build altars, to build a habitation within
our hearts for the Lord to dwell within. This building will transpire during
troublesome times, yet we are not to despair or become discouraged. The
Lord is with us and will sustain us. At this time, there are certain things
transpiring that we are unable to fully know or comprehend.
The words Jesus spoke to Simon Peter, He also speaks to us today ~
"...What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter."
(John 13:7)

NEWSLETTER
We went through a time when the Prayer Requests where so heavy, we could
barely keep up with answering them, and posting them. So we have gotten
behind on everything else. Do keep us in prayer as we begin to update
things and add new things to keep you all inspired as to who you are in
Christ. We have already added many NEW messages to the Words for Women
Page. But in a few Months we will be adding something to our Ministry that
will uplift you all spirit, soul, and body. So please pray for
guidance, and direction in the days ahead. Pray for the Lord to bring a new
vision to the spiritually-minded women. We are believing the Lord to bring
us a new dimension on how he wants his Bride to be treated, and how he
wants us to live and take care of ourselves, so that we may more fully
reflect that Glory, in order to glorify him in our daily lives.
Pray for the technical things that need to be done to the site. We need
help in this area, and we need constantly be working to improve things, and
make them easier to use.
Thank you all for your support throughout the Year. We don't ask for
donations, but when we receive them, it is as if the Lord himself appeared,
and said, "WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT". Yes we do need
encouragement, and we need to see the Lord blessing the work of our hands.
Most of the donations we receive enable us to respond to those who are in
need. We minister to many women who are in transition, and often they have
no money at all to get their lives into a new place in order to live the
way God wants them to. So do pray for this to be an area we can respond to
more compassionately as the year begins.
We have not given up on having a place for women to live in their retirement
years. We want to establish a home environment for women to live in and be
surrounded with other women so we can keep each other company and be a
support and family to those who have none. This is a real challenge, and we
will be putting together a concrete plan to establish this vision, in God's
timing. So if any of you are interested in investing in your future, and
want to participate in establishing this vision, we welcome your response,
and support. As we complete the plans, we will see how the Lord wants to run
it, and how he wants to finance it.
Without faith it is impossible to please God, so we will continue to walk
by FAITH, and move out in 2001 to do exploits, in Jesus Mighty name, and
we welcome you all to send your Dreams and Visions, as well as Beauty tips,
or Poems. All insight or articles for the spiritually-minded woman is
more then welcome.
God bless each and everyone of you, your families and homes.
Love to you all in Jesus Holy Spirit,
Terry & Ann

PROPHETIC WORD
The Wise Men Are Coming Into The House!
While sitting in the Lord's presence, He began to show me a distinct
picture that men and women holding key positions in the media and
communications would be coming to the House of God in the days ahead. They
are being drawn here, not a church, a religious system, but to the House
of God, His dwelling place, His abiding place. As I watched this picture
unfold, I began to hear the Lord speak to me. "Many 'Wise Men' are coming
to the House of God, filled with the wisdom of this age, which has
amounted to nothing. They are coming to My House, seeking answers for
these perilous times, For indeed, I shall lead many wise men into My
house. For even though many do not know me, yet they know of me. I shall
place a sign, a star, a guiding light to get them to My destination for it
is there that they will find Me in the simplicity of a child. For have I
not said that I would make foolish the wisdom of this world? Have I not
said that in My wisdom, the world through its wisdom does not know Me?
For I will draw many wise men back into My house in the days ahead. Why am
I doing this? I will remove their mantle of worldly wisdom which has
carried them to this point but has left them seeking and searching amidst
the chaos of this world's system. I will clothe them anew with My
righteousness, and My wisdom. Repentance will come upon them and their
eyes, once blinded, shall be opened to 'see.' In pursuing Me, I will
anoint the talents that I have placed within each one for My kingdom
purpose. They will be My voice in the coming days. To many of these wise
men, I will transform their words from speaking death, to bringing forth
LIFE, the reality of Christ Jesus. They, like the Wise Men of old, shall
lay down their gifts at the feet of the Savior and they will rejoice for
they will have found what they have been looking for their whole life
-TRUTH. As world events have transpired before their eyes, chaos has
invaded their inner being. But I have come to set many free, to establish
order by My Spirit within their lives, unveiling before then the way, the
truth, and the life found in My Son. By My Spirit, I will establish order
where there is chaos and confusion in their perception of world
events.Yes, many will speak forth the news but it shall be the Good News,
the living news of a Savior. Those coming will supernaturally be led to
places that shall bring them forth into a clear revelation of the
simplicity, the humility, and the purity found in the Christ child. Many
are being unraveled and divested of their own plans and purposes, but I
will say that if they look up away from the wisdom of the world and all it
has to offer, following my 'star' I will provide a sure path for their
feet into eternal TRUTH. There is a supernatural encounter awaiting those
who will call upon Me and seek My face. Upon receiving what I have for
them, they, like the Wise Men, shall depart for their own country another
way, for I shall place them back into the system they have left to change,
challenge, and to reform it in My way, by My truth. They will arise with
My voice for this hour."
