Hartwell , GA - Part Three

 PRAY & PLAY

While the main purpose of our road trip to Hartwell, GA was to do the volunteer work on Heart Well House One, there were other things going on those two weeks.  The most significant thing, maybe even more important that the physical work, was our gathering as the Ekklesia for prayer, fellowship, and worship.  Each morning we would gather at 7am when Steve would bring a word from the Lord and we would all pray for one another.  Every time we gathered it was powerful and heavy with the Presence of the Lord.  Some times we were outside, gathered around the chimenea, other times it was at the breakfast table.  There were even times of refreshing encounters with the Jesus joining us at the dinner table each evening.   Our team was blessed, enriched, and strengthened.  While I probably will not miss all the work we did those two weeks, I certainly do miss and will will remember for the rest of my life those two weeks of Jesus' ministry to us.




Four of the five volunteers from our Columbia City, Indiana Ekklesia who went as the volunteer work team are also members of Bikers Against Trafficking. Shawn and Sherri had their two bikes in the utility trailer pulled behind Penelope (his RV) and Diana and I had Big Booty Ruby (our Harley) in our RV Toy Hauler. On Saturday, November 2, we took our day of rest away from all our labors, and rode to Toccoa Falls, GA  It was a warm and beautiful day for riding on all the winding roads through all the forested mountains.  The Falls were spectacular!! It was a 74 mile road trip.  After arriving back at Heart Well House Two we enjoyed a delicious dinner of smoked Pork Butt that Steve prepared for us on his pellet smoker!  A DAY TO REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!







On our hike into the Falls, we saw this sign along the trail.  It seemed to us to be a Word from the Lord.

Going To The Next Level

  "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come."   John 16:12-13  NKJV Two weeks ago, as we were settling into our new home in Huntington, Indiana these words were spoken to me by the Holy Spirit. "I brought you here to set you up for the increased ministry you will be entering.  There are many more things I want to show you, but you are not yet ready to receive them."    We have known for several years that we would eventually be living back here in our hometown.  This is where Diana was born and grew up.  This is where my family moved when I was entering the fifth grade of elementary school, where I grew up, where we were married, and where I graduated from College.  When we finally decided it was time to make the...

  DW4C On our way to the Five Cities of the West coast, on February 12, we made a stop in San Bernardino County to fellowship and pray with Natalie Mar, Director of Deliverance Warriors For Christ Home For Girls.  This would be the second time we visited the DW4C home.  Since our last visit, Natalie has made several improvements on the home.  A new bathroom mirror has been installed, a new stainless steel commercial oven, new counter top and stove, a beautiful dinning table and chairs, and several solar panels which allows to home to be off the grid.  That evening w e had a powerful prayer time with Natalie and resident Tess.  Tess has received Jesus Christ as her Savior and Lord,  has been delivered from drug addiction since childhood, received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and is growing in her relationship with Jesus. We are praying she continues on at DW4C to help Natalie as staff. After the prayer time we took Natalie and Tess out for dinner at ...

  Finish The Assignment When the Lord spoke the words. "Two Years" and went on to explain that we had just two years to complete the prayer assignment of going to the Ten Cities, we went to prayer seeking Him for the strategy to accomplish the assignment.  We sensed very clearly that the hands on God's prophetic time clock were nearing 12 midnight.  (See previous Blog Post, "TWO YEARS.)  Over the past year and a half the Word of God in Proverbs 3:5-6 have been our constant GPS: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."    When we prayed and contemplated how to expeditiously get from Indiana to all five cities on the West Coast, the Holy Spirit led us to complete it in just one trip.  We decided that the trip was too far and would take too many days and too much gas for Diana and I to take our truck and RV. (Besides that, our half-ton Dodge Ram ...
