Prayer & Fasting

So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with Him in prayer and petition, in fasting. Daniel 9:3 

Most of you know what prayer and fasting is, so I won't go into much detail here..... but just a few main points. 

Prayer and fasting were demonstrated in the Scriptures during times of mourning, repentance and when there was a deep need.  (Daniel 9:3, Esther 4:16, 2 Samuel 12:16) 

Prayer and fasting brought breakthrough or deliverance. (Mark 6;7, Mark 9:29) 

Prayer and fasting is also a weapon of warfare - to bring resolve. (Ephesians 6:18)

Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way;say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.” Isaiah 35:3 

As you know we've been in a long long wilderness, pit and prison season! We have been obedient to do all God has asked of us. Since the early days of our salvation, the Lord had us give away ALL we had in the way of assets. We cashed in stocks, 401k's, to give everything away. Then He asked us to step out of full time - excellent paying jobs, to heed the call to start a home church. After 5 years of that, God moved us to a small town in the middle of nowhere. The only job God provided was for Ken to work part time at a discount retail store making minimum wage. Obviously not enough to even cover our rent....but God has been faithful in making up the difference. He is our provider!! 

God told us last year to give away most of all our furnishings. We had a semi-truck and a 14' UHaul move us here and besides the stuff we use daily which also will be given away when we go, we have very little we will keep. We have given out of our lack and have blessed 100's of people with meals, hospitality and prayer ministry. It's been extremely difficult to say the least. Not the blessing of others, but the plowing of the ground, the wondering how we would pay this bill or that, praying through some serious health symptoms trusting God would keep His promises of sustaining my health and eventually bring full healing. It's hard and lonely on this journey. There are many critics. The good news is we have learned so much, grown in our faith and ability to do spiritual battle. Our trust and confidence in God is so much stronger!!! 

God gave us a God size vision - one that we cannot do without Him and His provision. We did not seek this vision, but God has placed a desire in our hearts to partner with Him - to build a retreat property with numerous cabins; to have a community building and to have prayer and healing rooms. We want to invite pastors, lay leaders and missionaries to come and have a place to be refreshed, encouraged and ministered to and with a completely upside down model. This means that we will ask for a "suggested donation" and if the need is there, we will offer it free of charge. We want to be a refuge, a place of safety, compassion and care.  We are also called to come alongside the Church to equip the saints for the work of ministry. To teach, activate and send out to reach the lost, the hurting and the unsaved. God has been training us our entire lives for this calling. 

We are wanting to step into the fullness of it now! We believe God has told us it's due season. We have done all we know to do. We have done as much due diligence to be as prepared as possible. Now it's time for God to do His miraculous part! We have sought the Lord daily asking is there is anything hindering us besides the obvious provision. We are not hearing a thing or sensing anything. We have had others who are praying say the same. They too don't understand why this hasn't happened yet. Some suggest warfare. There have so many God confirmations surrounding this vision and even the release to go, but yet........God's work needs funded! It's time that the WEALTH TRANSFER begins so that us and others can step into what God has for them. It amazes me how many people are in our same shoes........waiting on provision to move into destiny. My opinion is also that of warfare. The enemy is doing all he can to thwart or delay so we give up. But God!!! 

                         WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! 

We would like to ask a HUGE favor of you! Would you please please consider fasting and praying for us this Thursday, 6/14. I will highlight a few specific prayer points but also pray as the Lord leads. And if you would hear anything or get any impressions, please let us know. 

1. Please pray that IF there is anything or anyone hindering this shift into destiny, that it would be removed swiftly. 

2. Please pray for the open doors and the financial breakthrough needed to step into destiny. 

3. Please pray for GRACE over us, STRENGTH, COURAGE & WISDOM for us in the days ahead.  

4. Please pray for the FAVOR of the LORD to be upon us! 

5. Please pray for Jehovah Rapha - the God who Heals to come and touch our bodies (especially mine) so that we can do all HE is calling us to do! 

6. Please pray the Lord's will be done!  

The other day I was beginning to form words in prayer to God and before I could even say them, the Lord spoke to me and said. "I am coming like flint". "I am determined to help you". This verse came to mind.....

Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,

   I will not be disgraced.

Therefore have I set my face like flint,

   and I know I will not be put to shame. Isaiah 50:7

If you have been blessed by this ministry or feel led to support what God is doing through us - financially, below are a few options. Your generosity and your prayer support is greatly appreciated and needed as we continue to walk in faith and God's calling.

Vision

God has given us a vision to build a retreat property along with ministry equipping center. 

The retreat portion of our ministry is to provide a safe place for pastors, lay leaders & other ministry folks to come and be refreshed & encouraged through prophetic ministry (if wanted). We will offer private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, and plenty of places to roam on the property to get quiet with the Lord. 

We will offer other specialty retreats - marriage, healing, prophetic teaching & activating people into the world & health and wellness retreats and more. 

The Lord has graced us with the desire to come alongside the Church - to bring healing, deliverance & freedom to new/newer believers. We are not wanting to replace their church, but better help them be ready to serve in their church. 

In our community building - we will eventually have a 24/7 prayer room, healing & prophetic rooms and a place for community worship services for those on the property. 

Our passion is to minister to a lost & hurting world. To equip the saints to do the same and to be a blessing to our community and surrounding areas. Our hopes are that we can pour out God's love in a mighty way to bring more and more souls into the Kingdom, get them discipled, called into their purpose & destiny and released to do God's business!!!! We also have a passion to give generously to help those in need and to help others launch into their God given destinies.
