"But you, when you pray, go into your room and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret, will reward you openly." Matthew 6: 6
Recently I have been released to share a few of my prayer assignments & experiences.
I am so grateful...I weep with joy when I see my prayers come to fruition.
I consider myself to be what many call a "prayer warrior"...
Also called "prophetic intercessor."
I have been repeatedly commissioned by leaders into this role.
It was always His plan for us to partner with Him as His bride....to restore according to Acts 3:21 & according to Daniel 7:27.
According to scripture, He is the One Mediator and The Head Intercessor. He "ever lives to intercede for us" yet we know He is seated (for now) in a posture of rest.
We are seated with Christ in heavenly places according to Ephesians.
So..we pray from that position...with Him. In the rest of worship.
We press into prayer & worship but we rest in the "Decrees" He grants thru Holy Spirit's administrative flow.
My Call is to pray over our land, The 🇺🇸 USA.
I did not know this was my call until my late 30's but the focus was always there from an early age.
In my early twenties (1970's), for example, I hosted a prayer group in my home in Silverado Cyn, CA, with Hazel Betts.
Hazel was a retired missionary to China. We studied the book,
"What Happens When Women Pray".
We had several miraculous answers to prayer during that season.
During those meetings, I also sang scriptures, spontaneously, with my guitar. I sang predominately out of Song of Solomon & Psalms.
I wrote a song at that time called,
"The Lord's Orchestra"
It was based on 2 Chronicles 20:21,22. The ladies loved that song.
Early on, I was learning that worship was
-the way-
-of gaining the advantage-
in spiritual warfare...
as we laid our petitions before His Courts.
Over the years, I've studied many books on prayer & the prophetic realm as well. As many as I could get my hands on!
I took a 9 month course at my church, Inland Christian Center, on "The Covenants of God" by Patricia Beal. I received the only 100% score amidst my graduating class.
In the 1980's my psalmist friend, Guen, and I, hosted a home meeting called "Psalms, Songs & New Songs" in Riverside, CA.
We were recording the book of Psalms (our version & melodies) at a church in Corona called, "Eagles Wings".
We were hosting speakers from every genre in the worship arts 🎨 as well as women moving in prophecy & healing. We also helped to promote a March for Jesus at Fairmont Park.
In the 1990s, after a brush with ovarian cancer & near death, I began to (more earnestly) seek the LORD about my call.
I had been teaching Kindergarten & raising a family & my life had accumulated a lot of stress & extreme challenges.
Between 1994 & 1996 I began to have encounters with Holy Spirit. I set one summer aside to fast & pray.
The Lord spoke to me,
"Come before me like Hannah."
As I pressed into this...
I began to experienc a supernatural waterfall in my prayer closet as mentioned in Psalm 42...
"deep calls to deep"...
and then I was lit on fire like the 🔥 burning bush...
and lastly I entered The Cloud.
A few days later our Bible Fellowship- prayer team prophesied exact details of what privately occurred in my prayer closet.
I was shocked.
Todd Volker also prophesied the scripture in 1 Samuel 1 which The LORD had spoken.
I was astounded. I had told no-one about my encounter.
The LORD, then, instructed me to "get with the intercessors". This was the beginning of our treks to Harvest Rock Renewal meetings in Pasadena, Ca.
This led me to a diversity of prayer groups from 1996- 2005.
It was an intense season & an intense learning curve on what to do & what not to do... In prayer & in the prophetic.
The waterfall also led to writing my book-
"Zamiyr, Governmental Waterworks."
(Shorter version here on blog: "Sound of Many Waters" parts 1-5)
We met with Robert Fitts to train for Church in the Home. I attended Harp n Bowl meetings & became a prayer leader at my local Vineyard Church in Laguna Niguel, CA.
We called our 24/7 prayer effort "Prayer Storm" .
I led a "Moms In Touch" prayer group on the campus of Rancho Capistrano (a ministry of Crystal Cathedral).
I taught & Directed the Preschool there on the 175 acre ranch.
While there, Beni Hinn was teaching & transferring his anointing to a small group in our Chapel. His team of volunteers spent lots of fellowship time in my office.
So with my background laid in (briefly) I want to share some prophetic & dynamic encounters which taught me how to pray.
I learned to pray -only- by Holy Spirit leading...
and I learned to declare -only- scripture which He highlighted.
No assumption or presumption. Always first & foremost waiting on Holy Spirit....waiting for 🔥 fire infused worship and for a directive key...
a scroll...a heaven-given decree. His love language is in His Royal Word and the uplifting flow of His Living Waters.
Wait on Holy Spirit. Then move & speak -only- in The Glory.
I learned & deeply earned this phrase in scripture..
"The battle belongs to the LORD"...
Which means that warfare is powerfully...
-simple-
-in worship-
We sadly complicate it with human striving & methods. And sometimes in presumption, we get ourselves in over our heads!
Revelation came with ease as I spent more time in pure worship & deep dives into His River.
Ez. 47 & Rev. 22 ...the river is made of the substance of both His Word & His Spirit.
Therefore His wisdom, mind, character & will is released in the flow.
HERE are 7 supernatural events that came out of that very intense season...
~7 DREAMS, VISIONS & VISITATIONS~
1. 1997-
~Runners at the Gate~
I received an all night encounter with Holy Spirit. I had a vision/ dream...
of 9-11,
a huge Cathedral with Gothic windows,
youth kneeling on the steps of Lincoln Memorial (which turned out to be The Call)
& History turning a corner.
The encounter with history turning a corner (in which I saw 9-11) shook me to the core.
(Word sent to Lou E. recorded here on another blog: "Runners at the Gate")
After running it by another prayer partner, I wrote it down & sent it to Lou Engles ministry, still in Pasadena, at that time.
I did not realize what I was seeing until the events, later, came to pass.
Lou had not yet started The Call....but unknown to me...it was in the works.
The Cathedral turned out to represent the 5 Presidents who attended prayer at The National Cathedral following 9-11.
Billy & Franklyn Graham were there as well, as I watched on TV my jaw dropped.
Then (much later) again my jaw dropped open while watching Notre Dame burning 🔥 & recently DJT attending the re-opening. 2 Cathedrals...with historic sign posts.
2. 1998-
~News Anchors
& Prophets~
I attended a prayer meeting with Lou & a few of Lou Engles prayer partners, a small group at a restaurant in L.A.
On the way home the moon was a half moon shape & looked like a bowl tipping sideways.
It made me think of the bowls of prayer in Revelation 5:8.
Suddenly, I saw a vision of a News organization which interviewed prophets as well as reporters. That idea seemed impossible at the time.
I now know I foresaw "Flashpoint" news & Hank Kunneman on Victory Channel.
☆That was the same night I received the prophetic commission for writing my book Zamiyr.
3. July, 2000-
~From Sea to Shining Sea~
I was studying Ruth Heflins books on "Glory" as part of my ingoing study on prayer. I discovered she was in Ashland, Virginia so we planned to attend her conference.
My earnest prayer was to enter into worship with Ruth H. in person, which was wonderfully answered.
Only a hand-ful of ladies heard the call to run up to the stage, as 1000s in attendance, drifted out to lunch. This small group entered into spontaneous high praise in unison. What a joy!
I was so sad to hear she graduated to heaven within a month after my visit.
Other than arriving on the conference time line, the rest of our trip was spontaneous but the LORD had His Sovereign hand upon it! (We had only decided to go mid June)
I was instructed to take a jar of Pacific Ocean water to the Atlantic Ocean and to pray for Revival across our land. The jar of water was to be a prophetic act from Job 38: 37, 38.
"Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles (jars) of heaven, when the dust hardens in clumps, and the clods cling together? "
I simply prayed for revival as we traveled down each highway and crossed each state line.
I sensed many strongholds, principalities & powers as I crossed each state line but I was to pray only as instructed & not to engage in any uneccesary warfare.
Incredibly, we landed on a Civil War site on July 4th. It was the site of Mel Gibsons movie of the same. (As I mentioned this trip was unplanned...we decided to go & left within less than 2 weeks time...no foreknowledge)
After attending the conference, we went on to complete our assignment & landed on Virginia Beach.
When we walked to the water, the presence of The Courts of Heaven was awesome & absolutely took my breath away.
We had to stop and take off our shoes when we hit the sand. It was astonishing, it was Reverant & Holy.
I did not know then (embarrassed to admit) that we had been guided to pray near Fort Henry, where one of the original "Covenant Prayers" had been established for America.
Recently Pat Robertson's memorial was held there & Dutch Sheets was assigned to "Command the Foreward" at this same location.
All this.... so near the place we had poured out the jar, in intercession, for our nation....in 2000...now they "Commanded the Foreword" in 2023! Wow!
Again, I watched as our prophetic prayer-journey was confirmed later by prophetic events;
And again...while recently watching Oasis Church/ The Hub
& Give Him 15... on line...
again, my jaw dropped...because the LORD had led me to the same location 23 years earlier.
"He shall reward you openly."
We should journal our prayers and watch with faithful expectation...
however patience is required. Be strong in His joy.
4. August, 2001-
Sept. 8 & 9th, 2001.
~Tremble with the land like Nehemiah~
August- "The Gates of Praise" held at The University of San Diego. 3 days of pure worship from friday to sunday with many worship bands including Vivian Hibbert & Joann Mcfatter.
I was participating in a corporate dance with Yvonne Wittstock's dance team,
my goblet painting was incorporated into the dance, which is pictured in my book.
(Video somewhere, I think Jackie has it).
We did not enter into any prayer or intercession until Sunday..
we honored divine protocal...
At last on Sunday...we were each individually welcomed onto the land by head of North America's First Nation tribes & San Diego's Chief, as well.
Vivian Hibbert prophesied that we had closed a gate to evil...& it would be in the News. Little did we know or even imagine, it would be as huge as 9-11.
September 7th & 8th- I was in the air for my daughter's wedding in Tahoe. I flew home from Reno Airport with my Grandaughter in tow.
Suddenly, midflight, I saw a vision of air planes crashing into mountains. Without hesitation I began to loudly pray in tongues with hand stretched out toward my window.
Needless to say, that drew some glances but no time to hesitate. At the same time, I was also trying to show calm with my grandaughter next to me.
When 9-11 occurred, 3 days later, I understood my vision. As I carefully scanned the news, they reported terrorists had been arrested in both San Diego & Reno Airport just following 9-11.
I knew we had closed a gate to terrorists plans (with our prayer & protocal of honor) in San Diego. Again, when I saw the news report, my jaw dropped. It was only reported once then seemed to be hushed.
"The fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." And how about the prayer of many tribes?
5. December 26, 2004-
~Tsunami in the Indian Ocean~
It was cold that day in Dana Point, CA. Jim started a fire in the den. I had a scripture CD playing. I was laying on the floor in front of the fireplace. Though it was early in the day, I strangely, fell asleep.
Suddenly I sat bolt upright. "Tsunami!"
I nearly shouted at my husband who was sitting on the couch. "There's a tsunami coming!" We lived one mile from the beach but I did not know the tsunamis location?
I had dreamed vividly of the crest of a great tsunami. Oddly, the top edge of the huge wave had the shape of an eagles head in the crest and the edge of the wings to either side! The shape was in the water...transparent like water! How strange!
I searched my heart and asked Holy Spirit for direction on what I should pray. Most often I am instructed to simply pray in Holy Spirit, in tongues....
In stealth, under Cover.
Later as I watched the news carefully, I asked the Lord about the eagle & the cause of the disaster?
(Since I know the earth groans- Romans 8-it is tied in with the earth quake which caused the tsunami)
I did, later, see in the news that this area of Indonesia was a leading source of child trafficking.
I felt the eagle on the wave was explained by the bird of prey referenced in Isaiah 46:8-13.
The earth itself groans with our sin & violence.
Scripture also declares 📜 that the earth grieves over the "tracking of innocent blood".
(Recently John Kilpatrick has released a video "The earth is Speaking" 12-2-23)
Many times I sense these times & places & double over groaning with the earth. I must give the burden to Holy Spirit. Too heavy for this prayer warrior. The groaning tends to break my heart.
Soon after the terrible tsunami, we joined with our church sending aid to a ministry in Sri Lanka. We subsequently heard reports of Revival there.
The judgments of God bring equity & grace (Psalm 96 & 98).
The dream made me personally aware of where to send aid & what to pray for in world events. I was unaware until then of a corporate industry of trafficking...tho' Revelation speaks clearly of this.
Now, we are seeing this horrific trafficking exposed even in the recent release of the movie....
"Sound of Freedom"
by J.C. & T.B.
Again, I am amazed how the LORD gave me a foreknowledge of what to pray ...
of what was grieving His heart & even grieving the planet.
6. July 4th of 2006-
~Pentecost & Liberty Bell~
Preceeding Pentecost of 2006, an aquaintance from my church, Wendy Cohen, called & asked if I could drive her to Rhonda Langfords.... For Pentecost. (Her car was in the shop)
It turned out to be a divine appointment. Many previous hours had been spent at Rhondas home & I was glad to make a new friend in Wendy.
Rhonda's regular meetings were refreshing-
All morning worship in the den. Formal Living room full of shoes...
presence of the LORD too wonderful for shoes. There was an open portal there.
Then we would break for Potluck & afternoon prophetic prayers. Rhonda was an Intercessor & Pastor under Reinhart Bonke.
Usually 20 to 30 people but this day only Rhonda, myself & Wendy. Just us 3 with Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
Arriving, I was sad to see a realtors- for sale- sign in front. So many wonderful days spent there! Rhonda was looking for a home in Florida.. near the ministry of R. B.
As we soaked in worship, I leaned back in a recliner. Suddenly I was standing in the front yard with a staff in hand. It was so real.
The sign turned into a LIBERTY BELL & I struck it. It was not a vision, it was a full-on experience. Like Phillip in the book of Acts....I was translated.
Then someone began speaking & the sound pulled me back into the room & the chair. Took me a moment to get my bearing. Rhonda wanted to know- what was the LORD telling us?
I shared my experience & we went out to the sign & enacted the striking of the bell prophetically, in real time. Rhonda prayed a prophetic declaration...and we 'chimed' in. Pun intended.
What followed was amazing. The same prayer partner (whom I danced with at The Gates of Praise), Shelly Jean, called for my help to move to Phoenix. I needed to drive her car while she drove the u-haul.
She was subletting an apartment from a friend site-unseen. We ended up on Bell Street which of-course had a display of a huge Liberty Bell!
The plan was to stay a couple of days to settle her in- then my hubby would pick me up & we would spend another couple of days with friends in Colorado Springs.
So, without actually planning...we ended up at Dutch Sheets Freedom Church on the 4th of July.
He shared how people had been sending him a flood of Americana items (including Liberty Bells). Following the service my friends introduced me to Dutch.
I pulled out The Liberty Bell vision/experience which I had written down & was carrying in my Bible...and shared it with Dutch to add yet another confirmation.
Then we received a signed copy of his recent book, Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation, Co- authored with Chuck Pierce.
When I checked back with Rhonda a few weeks later...there were many prophetic confirmations for her as well.
The 2 prominent ones I recall... The house in Florida was for sale by people with the name Aring. The offer on her house in CA was from a woman named Liberty.
You cannot make this stuff up! Moving in the prophetic is wonderful...it is an exciting Holy Spirit adventure!
7. 2017-
~Spices! Spices! I smell the Spices! ~
In 2017 I was leading a home prayer group in Hemet & Pat Osuji from Nigeria joined our group. She saw our invitation at the local Bible Book Store!
Pat was attending Dr. Michelle Corral meetings. A woman there, named Lilly, invited her to meet with Joseph Nazralla who produced a Christian TV show.
Pat stopped by one evening to ask Jim & I- to pray over her invitation & upcoming meeting with Joseph. I had previously met Joseph at a meeting in Corona, CA with my friend Jeannie Develtor. The Lord had told me we would meet again.
Since I regularly drove right by Joseph's TV station to care for my grandchildren...I volunteered to drive for Pat; to be her chauffer, moral support & intercessor. (Her car at the time was a rattle trap.. lol)
During the week, I walked back and forth in my home...simply praying in Holy Spirit for our upcoming meeting. Suddenly the Lord spoke loud & clear...
a single word right out of Song of Solomon 4:14.
"SAFFRON!"
Referring to the spices in the garden of the bride of Christ.
That was all He spoke..."Saffron".
BUT IT DEFINITELY GOT MY ATTENTION.
I was in wonderment, no explanation followed until our meeting...
As we toured Joseph's Recording & Production Studio... I smelled what I thought was middle eastern incense?
Joseph is from Egypt 🇪🇬 & knows persecution up close & personal. Pat does as well.
I believe Song of Songs 4 teaches... the spices of our garden are grown out of persecution, sacrifice & consecration. As Paul wrote..."the fellowship of His suffering."
As we settled into Joseph's conference room they began to share their hearts. Mostly, I just listened to Joseph & Lilly & Pat. In fact I originally stayed out in the Lobby but Pat insisted I be a part of the meeting.
Joseph was offering for Pat to take a broadcast segment. His broadcast went out to Africa & The Middle East. Pat was sharing some stories of sacrifice/consecration in her life, ministering in Nigeria & other Nations.
Suddenly Joseph jumped up from his seat & shouted...
"Spices, Spices, I smell the spices!"
He burst into spontaneous tongues & worship. Joseph is an internationally accomplished singing artist. He has a beautiful voice...but he has dedicated his life & resources to the Gospel.
Again, my jaw dropped open in amazement with the prophetic sign.
I leaned over to Lilly and said, "You know, I smelled the spices too, when we were in the TV studio!"
She replied that she too had smelled the spices & wondered. Later, doing research on Saffron's spiritual meaning I discovered Saffron was in the "Lilly" family. Lol! The name of our introductory host.
So began our 8 week broadcast of "Prayer Time with God". My first recording date I wore a golden yellow blouse with my pant-suit to celebrate & honor the Saffron revelation.
Saffron grows predominantly in Palestine & is used for healing, cooking, fragrance & beauty! This variety is a golden orange yellow. Some varieties are red.
We also did some live TV with Joseph as well. It was my 1st experience to prophesy live on air.
It began to rain like a deluge following our 1st meeting. Joseph said, "You 2 brought the rain".
I sang specific (prophetically inspired) scriptures to open our broadcast & we taught about prayer.
Pat also answered questions posted by viewers from Nigeria. For a couple of those weeks we hosted a guest, my long time friend Annie Buckell.
We were welcome to continue our broadcast for as long as we felt led. The day I sang Daniel 7 over the nations...
(The section about intercessors ministering to God in The River of Fire)
That day....the most profound quiet settled over Pat and I.
On the drive home the heavy kabod glory was in the car & neither of us could speak. His peace & presence was so thick.
I felt this signaled my time to return to my prayer closet & home group...
but Pat continued for some time with many wonderful guests.
Our producer, Mina, came out to the house & offered to record my songs (for free) but that was put on hold for a time...I felt I had another assignment.
I was focused on finishing my book (Zamiyr) by adding the chapter on The Garden. Revelation about The Spices helped me complete the book. It had been some 20+ years of effort. (First addition 2010 & 2nd 2017)
In my early 20's my friend Judy Okonski had prophesied a scripture from Psalms over me...
"You will sing to the nations".
This seemed impossible!
The supernatural door which opened at The Way/ The Cross TV had begun the fulfillment of this early prophecy.
Now, my call to pray for our land, our nation...was expanding to the nations.
I stopped by the station one day, spontaneously, to drop off a copy of my completed book for Joseph.
There was a woman in the Lobby from the UK but originally from India. (I apologize, can't recall her name)
She invited me to go on a live podcast with her, on the spot. Another confirmation to "sing to the nations". We ministered on her podcast, her following listening from UK & India.
What did I share?
"Everyone who is born again has a wellspring & a song coming up from that wellspring."
I encouraged the listeners to "find their song."
This is the theme of my book...
"Zamyir, Governmental Waterworks" Zamiyr means "Song of the Lord".
All for His Glory!
