Do you know we live under an open heaven? I truly believe we do. What is that you might ask. What does an open heaven look like? A pastor and fellow blog writer Bill Johnson with Bethel Church describes it as: "There's a nearness of Heaven on earth. There's a sense of presence, there's a clarity of thought, of heart and mind that is unusual. People think for themselves within an open heaven and aren't influenced by the spirit of the day or the spirit that seems to have dominance in a certain geographical area." I believe that heaven has been open for us for a long time. God has an "open door" policy. If we would just embrace this truth, that there is an open door to heaven, we would begin to recognize the power of God that is available to those that believe. We would begin to walk out our lives so differently as His people. Revelation 4:1 - After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard,...

I attended a healing and deliverance training conference lead by Bill Perkins at the end of November 2015. At the end of the conference I believe the Lord gave me the following message regarding the Body of Christ (the Church). I actually received a word very similar to this one but it was ten years ago, I will have to see if I can dig it out and post it. Laura~ November 30, 2015 The sleeping giant is waking up. You want revival it's coming - a great anointing like you've never seen before. Prepare your camps because as the sleeping wake up, as they take there first breath they will need help, they will need, Holy Spirit medicine, they will need to be healed. Many are already awake and aware and have received personal revival in their own lives. They will be the Holy Spirit medics to take care of the awakened, the sick and the almost dead. You need to keep equipping others as they are set free. There will be many outside the body who will come also. You will need to nur...

I've been pondering this thought, is emotional health real?  Is anyone really emotionally healthy? Or is our emotional health just a mask that we wear in order to convince ourselves and others we are okay? I read this book once about relationships and how to avoid falling in love with emotionally unhealthy people.  The author suggests before making that leap into love there are two things you should look for: Is this person physically and emotionally available? (meaning they are not in a relationship that is providing them physical or emotional nuturing) Okay that makes sense. Are they reasonally emotionally healthy. Really? Okay now I ponder. He goes onto say that falling in love is like a moment of temporary insanity.  You know that honeymoon period where you are swept off your feet.  He says it's in that moment in time that you have to watch for red flags and not allow yourself to be swept up in delusion.  Okay I get that.  He says that if they seem too ...

I couldn't think of a better reason to start blogging again but to pay homeage to my dear friend Sheila who went home to Jesus today!  Love you my forever friend! My dear friend Sheila passed away today.  Our relationship right from the beginning was a spiritual partnership.  I knew she was destined to be a pivotal part of my spiritual growth.  She herself recovering from life’s hurts, habits and hang ups, was called by God into the lives of many in this way not just mine.  It was obvious to me from our first conversation that she was called of God to help others recover from life’s painful pathways.  She was a gifted teacher but so humble in her nature.  She taught that pain was an inevitable part of the healing journey.  A strong woman of conviction, never pretending to know it all, just willing to share the many truths she had learned along her own bumpy roads.  She never told me what to do, or condemned me for any of my many stumbles; she...

I recently returned from a silent retreat.  What's a silent retreat you might ask.  Well it's literally a weekend retreat where you don't talk.  It's intended to help you connect with God, to just being still and listening.  I've been doing this pretty much annually for over 25 years now.  It's a wonderful experience for me and I look forward to it every year. On Saturday I went for a walk and I intentionally slowed my pace and walked in a very mindful way.  First thing I noticed was how fast I normally walk and man was I missing a lot.  I slowed down and began to really take in my surroundings.  The retreat center is situated on the beautiful Raven River near Caroline, AB, it's really breath taking everywhere you walk.  Before long I noticed a line of small evergreen trees.  A much smaller one than the rest caught my eye right away, it was a not so green evergreen anymore.  I had walked by it before several times since arriving bu...

Here is my final writing assignment from my writing course I just finished.  It was supposed to be only 500 words but I couldn't cull it back.  Maybe a book in there some where lol!  Hope you enjoy!!  It Is Well With My Soul - Now! I sat in church one day listening to the words of an old hymn as uncontrollable tears streamed down my face.      When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,     When sorrows like sea billows roll;     Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,     It is well, it is well, with my soul.     It is well, with my soul, It is well,     It is well, with my soul.  God began to speak to me, not in an audible way, but deep down in my spirit.  “No need to strive, my dear one.  Your soul knows where it’s to go. I gave it a road map. It has the truth of who you are, and it uses your spirit to help guide you.  Your spirit is like you...
