Ten years ago I developed, out of the blue, an anxiety disorder. Really, really annoying and exhausting. It's a permanent latent anxiety level which you feel. Totally irrational. It's just constantly there and one cannot rationalize it away. I couldn’t believe my heart wasn’t listening to my mind. I found it ridiculous, that wasn’t me at all. I rejected this anxiety, I fought it with every rational weapon I knew. Then I appealed to the spiritual weapons I knew. I tried to cast it out, fast it through, praise it away, rebuke it, anoint it, proclaim the louder the better I thought .. it still remained unchanged like a poison in my heart. I truly thought I was going nuts. I withdrew totally from normal life. It got worse and worse. I avoided every possible claustrophobic trigger situation. Even cloudy weather and walks in the woods were too heavy for me. Every situation in which I felt stuck was a possible trigger for a panic attack: trains, planes, traffic jams, hairdresser, cashier queues,… It was extremely threatening because I could fall into a panic attack any time.

Steve Stewart, founder of Impact Nations, is a friend of mine who took me to India on a missions trip a few years ago. Steve has a project where you can rescue a child from being a brick layer for the rest of their lives, and instead get them registered in school for ONLY $130 per child.

Steve has a blog and video which explain the project and provide you a link to give. Take a few moments and check it out.

Cathy sent me the following email:

"A deliverance minister came to our church and mentioned that all chiropractic care was demonic because of its original origin in spiritualism. I was shocked and had never heard anyone say that before."

Patti's sister, Becky, was with their mother when she was escorted home to heaven by two angels. I have asked her to share the story with you so you may also be comforted and encouraged.

Thank You, Lord, that leaving this earthly body is just the beginning of our heavenly existence!

This Sunday, during worship at church I had the most amazing vision. It was only later when I wrote it down that I realized it was linked with my month spent in the book of Matthew. In the last chapter and verse of Matthew, Jesus gives us His great commissioning through stating that “All” Authority was given to Him first and therefore to us also.

For the past 3 weeks I have been able to quiet myself and focus. I would see an image of Jesus as He sat on the throne with a light around Him and a path to Him that was laid out. The last couple of times it was dark. I could see Him but could not get to Him. What was happening and how do I fix it? It was unsettling for me.

This is some feedback after praying through session 5 of “Prayers That Heal the Heart” yesterday morning as I prepared to head to work in New Zealand. The issue I was seeking freedom from was "striving," which is probably about the 20th issue God has brought me through since I first was taught under Mark Virkler in Kona, Hawaii January 2017 at Crossroads DTS.

Memorials are reminders so we never forget what God has done and are constantly encouraged in the Lord. Following is a testimony of a memorial Rebecca Colucci has created in a room in her home. 

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord(G3674) in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. (Act 2:1-2)
