Dearest Lesley-Anne,

PRAISE YOU JESUS for hearing my cries and the prayers of the intercessors ---- your rescue is sweet, Jesus! Leslie-Anne…… God is sooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD, and THAT is even an understatement. WOW – Wonder of Wonders, that is who God is. Sweet Jesus has rescued me ! God’s Word is True and Faithful, because He is !! AMEN & AMEN!! HALLELUJAH~~ I know the trees are praising Him and the seas resound because of His Faithfulness! I’ve seen it in the spirit realm during worship. The Holy Spirit is incredible!

What a journey, absolutely NO turning back! But when the tide is up and the battle raging fiercely……. retreat under the covers is what my flesh wants to do! But I have not stayed there. The first thing Sweet Jesus did was rescue me from a harmful relationship, that I didn’t recognize as being harmful. That was with the friend I shared with you about, was leading bible study and had started the home church. She is very powerful in the Holy Spirit, and yet I kept seeing unloving attitudes/remarks towards churches and people. I recognized I wasn’t really desiring to attend bible study or the home church, but thought it was just because I am in this “uncomfortable” time in my life. The Wednesday night after Thanksgiving I didn’t go to bible study. The following Saturday received a call from her that she was no longer having bible study, home church and she wasn’t going to run for City Council. She had asked me to be her campaign manager, which I had agreed to. And she said she would see me at the meetings for Cornhusker Republican Women. I asked her if that meant she didn’t want to get together with me outside of those meetings and she said yes. I wanted to ask her some questions, but she said no. Inside, there was a relief, and a release that I hadn’t expected. Right away after the phone call, I blessed her and just started praying in tongues for her. The Lord has revealed SO MUCH to me, Lesley-Anne, about that whole situation, the Holy Spirit is just so cool ! And Father God is being ALL I NEED and has become ALL I WANT. It has been wonderful, although hard at times, but so so wonderful. This was part of the rescue plan of God. Please thank your intercessors for me, or I would be glad to write to Shirley and share the news. What a sweetheart she is. I saw her picture on the Holy Given website.

I was dealing with depression in December and was refusing to believe the depression was really back on me. The Lord healed me of depression January 1, 2006. I had been on several medications for depression for years. December of 2005 I heard God tell me He was going to heal me completely and that I was to go cold turkey off my last medication. I had done a lot of research on Effexor and found it is very addicting and almost impossible to get off whether one goes cold turkey or slowly. I KNEW the Lord said cold turkey starting January 1, 2006. For one week I was very sick with flu-ish symptoms and buzzing in my head. I prayed healing verses over myself, believing God for my healing as He had spoken. The symptoms diminished within two weeks and the buzzing in my head was gone after the first month. PRAISE YOU GOD!! I know the enemy has been trying to bring this depression back, and I have REFUSED, not giving in. I believe that so much of what we deal with is in the mind………. We MUST take EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE to the OBEDIENCE of Christ. However many times we need to take the thoughts captive WE MUST DO IT. There are so many Christians Lesley-Anne that are giving into the enemy with their thoughts/mind and they are not experiencing victory. I have had to press in, radical worship, singing my heart out and singing TRUTH, speaking out loud the verses. I’ve realized the cycle of negative thoughts that I have been used to, and I am breaking that cycle through the Holy Spirit. Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord. I am NOT GOING BACK TO EGYPT. I am staying in the PROMISED LAND!! The battle is WON!! I am the VICTOR !

The last few days I’ve been dealing with “am I really doing what you want me to do God, working with DFF?” There’s been very little joy for this job, really since I started….. more fear than anything, and yet I haven’t sensed the Lord saying to do something else…… and He knows I will do WHATEVER He asks me to do and will go wherever He asks me to go. Yesterday I was dreading getting back to work, the depression came in like a flood……. Then today when I awoke, I asked God what He wanted me to do, and he said clean my basement (had boxes to go through since my mother’s death from May 2005 I hadn’t gone through). So that’s what I did today. I grieved quite a bit of the day, but also rejoiced in what God was doing. After dinner I started feeling excited about DFF, and praying/believing God for His strategies to bring in the finances for DFF. Jesus has rescued me again ! This is so incredible, God is just awesome, totally awesome, I just love Him like I never have, as I am experiencing Him in ways I never have. I know, Lesley-Anne, that all this time God has been preparing me to take me to the next step. I have no idea what that is, but I trust my God, my refuge, my deliverer, my fortress, my counselor. He has me in His private school of the Holy Spirit. Sweet sweet Holy Spirit, how I love You. Worship, pouring my heart out in worship….. totally holy given to Him, worshipping with all that I am………. In the word, praying the word over my life. Interceding for the work of DFF, and Suzanne………. I do know that DFF is just for a season, not for life. Lesley-Anne, if the Lord ever gives you any words for me, I am ALL ears J J.

I have to say, I read so much of people going to conferences and being prophesied over, being given words to confirm God’s calling. And I am here in Lincoln, NE where the Spirit-filled churches don’t even operate in the supernatural. This past Sunday, one of the pastors, at the church I was visiting (the largest spirit-filled church in Lincoln) told us and he was just being honest, but that he doesn’t really seek after the supernatural, more probably because of fear and not understanding it. I was like, WOA……….!! I said, Lord, if you want me to go in and talk with him, I will, but ONLY if YOU direct me to do that. The worship was awesome, and led by a woman, an African American, Sue Hill. She definitely was led by the Spirit, it was so refreshing and we are going to get together. I am very excited to get to know her. Another answer to prayer ! There definitely was a spiritual DNA with her.

Thank you again, Lesley-Anne for your intercessors praying for me. Pam has been rescued by her sweet Holy Spirit. I am beginning to have more days being in peace than I have in a long time. It is work to stay in the peace, keeping my mind stayed on Him (Isaiah 26:3), but oh so worth it. Better close and get to bed.

Love you tons, and praying for you as you start Holy Given in Brazil ! Padakediada ……………
