Chapter 12 - FOUNDATION FIRST - YOUR PLUMBLINE
These last two chapters are much harder to write because of all the prophecy. I start writing and I get more revelation knowledge and then I go on all these other trails that I haven't seen yet. Wow, God is awesome. You ask Him a question and He answers. In my searching after God, I find so much revelation knowledge. I am good at picking out and finding what He is saying and doing at that specific time and then all the pieces are like a big puzzle that now has to be put together and interpreted. The interpretation always takes me much longer to figure out. As time passes, I go back and read what He has told me and I am in awe of Him. All of the prophecy God has given to me is so deep and wide, it takes time for my mind to really grasp all that He is saying. Mainly because I am not educated on any of the things He is showing me, but each time I pick it up and go over it again; can even be years later, I understand so much more. He is building a house. Starts with a foundation, Jesus Christ the Word of God and salvation. You must be born again to understand spiritual things. Several times I have shared my prophecies and I go back to see these people and they now have some kind of secular book in their house on witchcraft, divination, mediums and fortune telling. Some of them are Christians. The foundation matters, it is the plumb line or standard of which all other things are measured. The one place that never changes, the way, the truth and the life; Jesus Christ. He is the door to the Kingdom of God, do not try to enter or go places by any other door. You will not like where you end up. We are searching and after the Holy Spirit of the living God that Jesus gave us; He is our counselor, teacher and very present help.
Okay now that we have the foundation of our house built on Jesus, we can move on. It has taken years for God to keep building on things He has shown me back in 1995. Why because He is building a house, we cant put the windows in until we put up the walls. In other words, I won't be able to understand what He wants to show me now without understanding what He showed me back in 1995. In the book of Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret councel to His servants the prophets. And also in book Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. A religious spirit likes to say "well if it is not in the Word of God then it is not of God". That is also why they will cross their arms and look away and even mock my testimonies; because they cant find it in the bible. God is still DOING all those things He talks about in His word. And He even says we will do greater works than Jesus. So lets not put God in a box, but always keep your foundation in Jesus Christ solid. After I got saved in 1990, I started listening to Charles Stanley. He is a very good Baptist Preacher and I still listen to him amongst all the other things God shows me, and all the other Pastors I listen to. Well, now I know why I took so long to start this chapter. I am concerned about you trying to go spiritual places without a good foundation. Gods word is always first! Are you ready to move on now kings and priests of the Most High God? You are going to want me to be telling you interpretations along the way, but I like to stick with what God shows me and not what I think. But if you stay with me for a while, I believe we will experience God together. God wants us to grow up and get it for ourselves. He wants you to ask Him questions and then be looking for the answer. That is called a relationship. If we already knew everything and it is like a program of 1,2 and 3; done the same way every time; Then we would not need to come to Him and seek Him. People who have fear like to be in control of everything and everyone so they know what is coming. God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. We have to search for Him, and He is always moving and working. Lets search for Him in the Word, prayer, meditation, fellowship with other believers, Pastors, mentors, etc... And don't have fear and don't put Him in a box. God has many times used the most unlikely source to answer my question or minister to me. Lets go find where He is working and join Him in His work!
I thank you Father God for sending your Son Jesus Christ to die for me, and to pay a debt I could not pay. I receive your Son Jesus as my Lord and Savior and I ask for forgiveness of all my sins, wash me and make me clean. I give you my life and I ask you to live in me and through me. I give you my mind, spirit, soul and body and I ask you to be glorified; be high and lifted up in me. Now I ask you to lead me and teach me your ways and your thoughts, I receive your love and your mercy. I am loved, I am forgiven and I am in you and you are in me. Let your perfect will be done, let your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. And use me Lord God, use ME!
Praise God that we are His and He is ours; and we can hear His voice! Next chapter is "WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?"

Chapter 11 - IM GOING TO SHOW YOU GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS
CHAPTER 11 - IM GOING TO SHOW YOU GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS
In 2001 we moved into our new home in Hereford Arizona; a big two story house on 4 acres. This was our sixth home in 4 years. It was a repo and needed lots of work done on it. I was also still cleaning houses, child care and foster parenting. We also had 2 horses, 3 dogs, 5 cats, guinea pigs and a bird. God once again filled our house up and over flowing with lots of furniture and everything we needed and more. My daughter was 11 and still being schooled at home.
In 2004, I stopped doing foster parenting. I can remember that around Christmas time, I went driving around the poor part of Sierra Vista Az and I saw a young lady pushing a stroller. I stopped and asked her if she would like me to bring her some outside toys for her kids, and she said "yes." I had lots of outside play ground type toys that I didn't need anymore since I quit watching children so I wanted to bless someone. One day close to Christmas time, I loaded them all up in my truck and left my daughter at home; she was 14 yrs old then. I was almost to the young ladies house when I started weeping thanking God for blessing me with over flowing abundance so that I was able to bless someone else, and then all of a sudden I felt something touch me on my head. I was frantically trying to wipe it off, I had no idea what it was. So I dropped her toys off, prayed for her and said Merry Christmas. When I got home, my daughter said "mom when you were gone, I was on the computer and something touched me on my head." Wow! I never did figure out what that was about, it was definitely spiritual.
I started prayer walking everyday. One day the Lord said "take a walk with me, I am going to show you great and mighty things, do not be afraid." And when I did I started getting words from Him. The first word was tumult, meaning a great disturbance. There is going to be a great disturbance that is going to be ambiguous, open to many different interpretations. This disturbance will cause my people to be rousted, awakened from slumber, apathy or depression; to become active. Shortly after this word, the bad hurricanes started.
Then one day, I was walking in my house when I heard Him say "Vulcan". So I looked it up and found some astronomical information that some astronomers have predicted that our Sun has a companion star which is too small and faint to be noticed. The ancients named this planet like body "Vulcan". Catastrophic effects from cometary collisions have led to an alternate name for the Sun's companion; "Nemesis." Which means an opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome--one that inflicts vengeance and retribution--a source of harm or ruin. Vulcan has also been called the "dark star." Vulcan can influence comet-like space debris by canceling out its angular momentum and drawing it in from the Oort cloud with some periodicity related to Vulcan's orbit. The comets orbits are often modified as they pass near planets. But the initial incoming direction is most often from Vulcan's aphelion. As the comets near the sun, their sphere of influence collapses into a planet sized cloud. This becomes a leading and trailing cluster of hail which ignites as it enters earths atmosphere. Revelation 8:7 - The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came HAIL AND FIRE mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. This implies that comet related debris fragments made of combustible material enter the atmosphere and ignite. This prophecy may also be describing the results of a collapse of the earths magnetic field. Energetic solar particles held in the Van Allen belts and earths bow wave would be released causing global "northern lights" displays and mutations of microbes.
At this point in my research of all the revelations God had given me, I saw Vulcan falling out of the sky. God told me that "Vulcan is going to fall". He also showed me that the earths magnetic field being out of balance is the cause of many natural disasters to come. As I looked up info about the magnetic field and what could happen if it were out of balance, I saw underground rivers breaking forth, in the natural and in the spirit. I asked God where is Vulcan going to fall? And I heard Virginia, I also saw fire when He told me Virginia. After pondering these thoughts for awhile, I thought maybe there is a political twist to all this. So I started searching on the web and ended up on the Time Magazine Site. I found an article by James Mann, the article read "Fall of a Vulcan." I also found that he wrote a book called "Rise of the Vulcans." The Vulcans turned out to be the Presidents War Cabinet of the United States. Condoleeza Rice had grown up in Birmingham Alabama, a steel town; and overlooking the city is a huge statue of Vulcan; the Roman god of the forge. It is the largest iron statue in the world. And it is the mythological god of fire, volcanoes and metal working. It is also depicted with a blacksmiths hammer. So for some reason, the U.S. war cabinet called themselves the Vulcans. The six people that he profiled in his book are Dick Cheney, the Vice President, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense; Paul Wolfowitz, his Deputy; Colin Powell, who was Secretary of State in the first George W. Bush administration; his Deputy, Richard Armitage; and Condoleeza Rice.
Next God gave me the word "preeminence" which means - superiority or foremost. In the book by James Mann he mentions that he has traced three or four common attitudes that the Vulcans have had over the years. One of them is an emphasis on the importance of military power. Military power is the main goal and main approach, main tactic. This isn't a matter of institution building. Military power is preeminent. God also gave me the words "Northern lights" and the number 4. I had no idea what "northern lights" meant until God led me to a book called "Angels Don't Play this HAARP" by Jeane Manning and Dr. Nick Begich, When I picked up this book, I felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility as I read and saw that this book just summed up everything God had been showing me over the past year or so.
HAARP stands for "High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program" which is a joint project of the United States Air Force and Navy, based in Alaska (Northern Lights). The project is a research program designed to study the ionosphere in order to develop new weapons technology. The HAARP system is designed to manipulate the ionosphere, a layer which begins about thirty miles above the earth. The transmitter or HAARP device on the ground is a phased array antenna system - a large field of antennas designed to work together in focusing radio-frequency energy for manipulating the ionosphere. The radio frequency energy can be pulsed, shaped, and altered in ways never possible with other transmitters or at the power levels of this new facility.
HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an "ionospheric heater." (The ionosphere is electrically-charged sphere surrounding the earth's upper atmosphere.) Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; antennas send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything--living and dead. In the book "Angels Don't Play this HAARP" there are interviews with independent scientists, Dr. Rauscher shared her mental picture of the ionosphere. A soap-bubble-like sphere surrounding earths atmosphere, with movements swirling over the surface of the bubble. If a big enough hole is punched through it, she predicts, it could pop. David Yarrow, a researcher with a background in electronics described possible interactions of HAARP radiations with the ionosphere and earths magnetic grid. "HAARP will not burn 'holes' in the ionosphere; that is a dangerous understatement of what HAARP's giant gigawatt beam will do. Earth is spinning relative to thin electric shells of the multilayer membrane of 'iono-spheres' that absorb and shield earths surface from intense solar radiation, including charged particle storms in solar winds erupting from the sun. Earths axial spin means that HAARP - in a burst lasting more than a few minutes - will slice through the ionosphere like a microwave knife. This produces not a 'hole' but a long tear -- an incision.
Second concept: Crudely Plucking the Strings - As earth rotates, HAARP will slice across geomagnetic flux...a donut shaped spool of magnetic strings -- like longitude meridians (on maps). HAARP may not 'cut' these strings in Gaia's magnetic mantle, but will pulse each thread with harsh, out-of-harmony high frequencies. These noisy impulses will vibrate geomagnetic flux lines, sending vibrations all through the geomagnetic web. The image comes to mind of a spider on its web. An insect lands, and the web's vibrations alert the spider to possible prey. HAARP will be a man-made microwave finger poking at the web, sending out confusing signals, if not tearing holes in the threads.
Odin is a Swedish satellite working in two disciplines: astrophysics and aeronomy, and it was named after Odin of Norse mythology. Within the field of astrophysics, Odin was used until the spring of 2007 aiding in the study of star formation. Odin is still used for aeronomical observations, including exploration of the depletion of the ozone layer and effects of global warming.
The main instrument on Odin is a radiometer using a 1.1 m telescope, designed to be used for both the astronomy and aeronomy missions. The radiometer works at 486-580 GHz and at 119 GHz. The second instrument on board is the OSIRIS (Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System).[1]
Odin was developed by the Space Systems Division of Swedish Space Corporation (now OHB Sweden) as part of an international project involving the space agencies of Sweden (SNSB), Finland (TEKES), Canada (CSA) and France (CNES). Odin was launched on a START-1 rocket on February 20, 2001 from Svobodny, Russia. [2]
In April 2007, astronomers announced that Odin had made the first ever detection of molecular oxygen (O
2) in interstellar clouds.[3][4] I WILL TALK OF ODIN AGAIN, DONT FORGET THIS PIECE.
OZONE LAYER = The highest levels of ozone in the atmosphere are in the stratosphere, in a region also known as the layer between about 10 km and 50 km above the surface. Here it filters out the shorter wavelengths (LESS THAN 320nm) of ultraviolet light (270 to 400nm) from the Sun that would be harmful to most forms of life in large doses. These same wavelengths are also responsible for the production of vitamin D, which is essential for human health. Ozone in the stratosphere is mostly produced from ultraviolet rays reacting with oxygen. God has been showing me things about the number 32 over and over. And they all fit together, and become prophecy.
I am remembering this morning how in 1997, after I read Deut 32 Moses' Song; I took a nap and awakened to see my hands moving like playing a harp which is perpetual, even today. And in 2005, God told me that "Vulcan is going to fall." Vulcan is the mythological god of fire, he also has a hammer as a blacksmith. Vulcan is also "Nemesis" an opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome--one that inflicts vengeance and retribution--a source of harm or ruin. Vulcan also turned out to be the War Cabinet of the United States of America, which is named after the statue in Birmingham Al . of the largest iron statue of the mythological god of Vulcan. So yes, we have been seeing over the years Deut 32 playing out and also the United States falling. THE SONG OF MOSES IS STILL PLAYING
STILL LOTS MORE PROPHECY TO COME - DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT GOD IS DOING? THEN FOLLOW ME...MY LIFE IS PROPHETIC...I DONT KNOW HOW GOD DOES IT....BUT HE DOES. I am not educated on any of these topics. I only know what God shows me. I do what I see my Father doing. He was even showing me things about the stars and comets and how they were signs of what he was doing. God led me to a website on Biblical Astronomy by Bob Wadsworth. He tells how all the constellations tell the story of Jesus. And when astronomical events happen, like comets passing through certain constellations; he would tell of its significance pertaining to the bible. I recently tried to research on his site and he is no longer updating his information. But all of the old stuff is still there to look at. Genesis 1:14 "And God said let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and days, and years." Psalm 19:1-3 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handy work. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Chapter 10 - GIVE THEM TO GOD
CHAPTER 10 - GIVE THEM TO GOD - Columbus Ohio 1997
I encountered big demons in Columbus Ohio. The spiritual warfare was always going on, with no letting up. Once again, as I was having such awesome times in God at World Harvest Church, the greatest I've ever experienced, it was also the greatest spiritual warfare I've ever experienced. I found out what it means when they say "big anointing, big devils." Pastor Rod Parsley has a great anointing, his ministry has brought miracles and deliverance in my life and I thank God for him and his wonderful anointed congregation. And if you ask my daughter today, she will tell you that it was a wonderful childhood memory for her. She did not ever know anything bad or stressful was going on. I kept my focus on God and what He was doing, not on the devil.
The spirit of Jezebel kept trying to provoke me. It even found ways to stir up the apartment community against me. But I just stayed in love and did not react to any of the tricks of the enemy. That caused this spirit to even get more hostile as she is lashing out for any kind of control. Eventually, it was so obvious who is real and who is the imposter; that her family leaves the church.
Not long after they leave, two Sundays in a row my car would not start after church; so I was not able to make it to work. Then I lose my job and I started feeling like my work with God was done here. So we sell and give away all that we had again, and move to Hemet California.
I chose Hemet California because that is where Amanda's dad lives. Her dad is a successful artist with many beautiful sculptures. He did his work out of his home and a lot of stray clay would get tracked onto the carpet. He paid me to pick it out of the carpet until I found a job as an apartment manager and threw newspapers to make up for costs. She was able to visit her dad a lot and he even bought us a car. This is when I started home schooling Amanda, at age 7.
We were only in Hemet for a few months when I got the phone call that my mom had cancer. I can recall back in 1996 before we left for Ohio, I had visited a church and ended up giving my whole family over to God; telling God I cannot save them but you can. We sell and give away everything again and head to Sierra Vista Az where my mom and dad live. We moved in with my parents to help them out. While out to breakfast one morning with my mom, an elderly man asked me if I would clean his house, and I thought it would be a little extra money while helping my parents, so I did. I was able to pray with my mother and she asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior. We even went to church together and I also got to experience my dad walking down to the altar weeping and asking Jesus to be his Lord and Savior. And I also got to hear my dad on his knees by my mom apologizing for things I thought I would never witness. Things that I deeply longed for were coming to pass, because of the cancer. My mom passed on to glory in January 1999. My dad remarried and then he passed on to glory in 2010. I thank God that they are saved and that He allowed me to experience those very precious moments with them.
After my mom had passed away in 1999, we had moved into an apartment community in Sierra Vista. I started cleaning the apartments after people moved out. I also started doing childcare and became a licensed foster parent. My daughter and I enjoyed all the children so much, I still think about and love them all. In 2001, I was renting a house in town; we were thriving and doing well. My daughter even talked me into getting her a colt. I knew nothing about taking care of a horse either; I had to pay for boarding it. The owners of the house we were living in said they were going to sell it, so I decided to try and buy it. I didn't really think I had a chance because when I got out of the Air Force I had some debt that was still owed. I was approved for the loan on the house and went to sign first escrow papers. My daughter and I were so excited and I even started doing some repairs on the house, then the owners changed their mind. We were so upset, but I thought well I was approved for a loan, so I'm going to buy a house. We found one on a rural property, foreclosure on 4 acres and perfect for our horse. Only problem was that they wanted more money down. I had just recently got a new housekeeping customer, they were an elderly couple. I was cleaning their house one day and telling them my story of how they changed their mind on selling me the house. The next time I went to clean for them, they said "Laurie, we are going to finance you for the whole thing and give you 10,000 more for repairs on the house." Wow, praise God! God had a better plan than I did.
Gods ways are not my ways, and His thoughts are not my thoughts. And He proved that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think. To God be the glory. Ephesians 3:20 I am very excited about writing the next chapter on "I'm going to show you great and mighty things." Stay with me, your Father God is calling you. He is calling you into an intimate relationship with Him. A place where you can hear Him, experience Him and learn how to follow His Holy Spirit.
I encountered big demons in Columbus Ohio. The spiritual warfare was always going on, with no letting up. Once again, as I was having such awesome times in God at World Harvest Church, the greatest I've ever experienced, it was also the greatest spiritual warfare I've ever experienced. I found out what it means when they say "big anointing, big devils." Pastor Rod Parsley has a great anointing, his ministry has brought miracles and deliverance in my life and I thank God for him and his wonderful anointed congregation. And if you ask my daughter today, she will tell you that it was a wonderful childhood memory for her. She did not ever know anything bad or stressful was going on. I kept my focus on God and what He was doing, not on the devil.
The spirit of Jezebel kept trying to provoke me. It even found ways to stir up the apartment community against me. But I just stayed in love and did not react to any of the tricks of the enemy. That caused this spirit to even get more hostile as she is lashing out for any kind of control. Eventually, it was so obvious who is real and who is the imposter; that her family leaves the church.
Not long after they leave, two Sundays in a row my car would not start after church; so I was not able to make it to work. Then I lose my job and I started feeling like my work with God was done here. So we sell and give away all that we had again, and move to Hemet California.
I chose Hemet California because that is where Amanda's dad lives. Her dad is a successful artist with many beautiful sculptures. He did his work out of his home and a lot of stray clay would get tracked onto the carpet. He paid me to pick it out of the carpet until I found a job as an apartment manager and threw newspapers to make up for costs. She was able to visit her dad a lot and he even bought us a car. This is when I started home schooling Amanda, at age 7.
We were only in Hemet for a few months when I got the phone call that my mom had cancer. I can recall back in 1996 before we left for Ohio, I had visited a church and ended up giving my whole family over to God; telling God I cannot save them but you can. We sell and give away everything again and head to Sierra Vista Az where my mom and dad live. We moved in with my parents to help them out. While out to breakfast one morning with my mom, an elderly man asked me if I would clean his house, and I thought it would be a little extra money while helping my parents, so I did. I was able to pray with my mother and she asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior. We even went to church together and I also got to experience my dad walking down to the altar weeping and asking Jesus to be his Lord and Savior. And I also got to hear my dad on his knees by my mom apologizing for things I thought I would never witness. Things that I deeply longed for were coming to pass, because of the cancer. My mom passed on to glory in January 1999. My dad remarried and then he passed on to glory in 2010. I thank God that they are saved and that He allowed me to experience those very precious moments with them.

CHAPTER 9 - SHEEP OR WOLF?
CHAPTER 9 - SHEEP OR WOLF?
Well as you recall, when I was having all those awesome miracles in Phoenix, at the Assembly of God Church; I was also battling the Jezebel spirit. It is a very controlling, manipulating, dominating and intimidating spirit. God taught me a lot about her when I asked Him, "what was that, is that you?" And I remember telling one of the leaders there that I did not have fear until I came here. There was a womens' group meeting for prayer, we were all sitting around in a circle and as the ladies needed prayer, they would gather around them and pray. They would pray about the devil and what it was doing to the person and how miserable it made the person and how it has them bound and how long it has been doing it. Ugh!! And then I would pray like this, "Thank you Father God that you are bigger than all those problems, and you are in control. And I thank you that you have made us victorious in Jesus name." And they all looked up at me with their mouths open, as if I were saying something bad. And then they started saying things like "well some people don't believe there is a devil." And I'm thinking, of course I do. But I want to win. And I want to magnify God, and make Him bigger than my problem. Not make the devil big! And give him all this credit for doing all these dirty deeds. He doesn't care how you talk about him as long as your focus and attention is not on God! And we only win and overcome by staying focused on God and His marvelous works and love and mercy and grace. Revelation 12:11 - And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.
I have been supernaturally delivered several times. And I am convinced that we do not have to know the deep things of satan in order to be delivered. We need to have a repentant heart and willingness to change. I said "God I don't want to pass on any generational curses to my daughter, and God orchestrated the whole thing to put me in the right place at the right time, with the right people." He did teach me in the beginning that as Christians we can be oppressed by demons. So I knew there was a devil and I knew what to do when I encounter one. In the name of Jesus, get out! And my focus was always on God, and WHAT GOD WAS DOING! Not what satan was doing.
Many times since I've been following the Holy Spirit, I have encountered the spirit of Jezebel.
Once again, as I am having so many wonderful miraculous things happen to us; the spiritual warfare is also going on. I thought I had encountered big devils in Phoenix, but these are bearing down on me even more in Ohio. Remember Daisy from chapter 7? She was the woman that helped me when I first got to Columbus. She was also the one who came knocking on my door when I got the eviction sticker on my door wanting her twin mattress and bowls back. And she was not nice about it at all. She had that same spirit of Jezebel that I encountered in the Phoenix church. And she was also a lay pastor. That spirit loves to get real close to the leadership to have more control. So she made a big scene trying to make me look bad because she thought I was going to get evicted. Then God showed up and showed off in my life. And instead of her apologizing to me, she now has gotten very vengeful towards me. She has four children, all girls. One evening at a church function, Amanda and I walk into the church room filled with people and her oldest daughter points at us and starts crying. She is pointing and crying while talking to one of the ladies. Her daughters would constantly do things trying to provoke us. And then one day, I was going to my car right outside my apartment and Daisy comes up to me screaming and bumping into me with her chest. She was screaming, "you witch" and lots of other bad language. Her friends and some teenage boys were near by watching. I did not even know those teen boys and they started yelling at me too! I stood my ground and looked her in the eye as she is bumping me trying to get me to hit her; I said "I am not going to hit you, I am just going to love you." And her mouth fell open in surprise, and she backed off. So I go in my apartment and a few minutes later the police are knocking on my door. They could not tell me exactly why they were at my door, just that someone called them on me. All I could say was that she was just trying to make a big scene, trying to ACCUSE me of something, anything. I couldn't even think of why she would be calling me a witch, except that God was using me to expose those devils she was harboring. John 10:20 And many of them said, He (Jesus) has a devil and is mad why do you listen to him? The religious Pharisees were always trying to accuse Jesus and set traps for him. Why are we so quick to believe another persons accusations against someone else. I pray for our eyes to be open to all these tricks and schemes of the devil. The wolf in sheeps clothes can be sitting right next to you in church. A sure way to find a wolf, is get wounded. All the wolfs start showing up, even people you would have never imagined. They smell blood, and have come to finish you off! I LOVE THE CHURCH. I'm not talking about the church, I'm talking about the enemy of the church who can be an imposter, a wolf who comes in seeking someone to devour. We still need to go to church. God wants us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. You are still safest in church.
I am also reminded of Mark 5. This particular chapter comes to my mind often because I have had instances when a person will come up to me and just start manifesting evil behavior. I took an exercise class at the gym and this instructor just did not like me from the moment I walked in. She ended up acting out very badly towards me in front of the whole class. She was having conversation with lots of people in the room while we were all exercising. And she yells at me to put down the weights in my hand, of which we all had; so I did. And several minutes later she still has not told me I could pick them back up or even why she yelled at me like that. I thought okay maybe I was red in the face and she thought I was going to pass out. So as I am still keeping up with them with no problem, I ask her can I pick them up now. And no answer, she wont even look at me. So I wait a while again. By this time, I am sensing a spiritual battle going on. As we are bending over in a position that she can very plainly see my face, if she would look at me, I said "excuse me, is there a reason why you can talk to all of them but you wont answer my question?" And she yells at me (causing a big scene, sound familiar?) and says "see me after class!" Oh my goodness, her class went on and on and on! Two and a half hours of high impact aerobics. I was exhausted, but I knew that I was going to stay and see her after class.
So as she was saying bye to last few people, I walked up and said "hi, I'm Laurie. What's your name?" And she yelled again, "I don't have to tell you nothing!" I said well you work here, I believe I am entitled to know your name." She then yelled again, "I don't have to tell you nothing." And I said "well you asked me to see you after class, was I doing something wrong?" And again, "I don't have to tell you nothing"! And she starts to walk away from me, and I walk with her and still trying to find out why she treated me so badly, I say "well I just wanted to find out what I did wrong so I don't do it again." And she then gets very violent and screams at me "you better get out of my space, I'm warning you!" I thought she was going to hit me. Then as I go to my car, its late and dark outside, and she is standing out in the parking lot still going off about me to a few other women. I cried when I got home, I felt so violated and attacked. It really caught me off guard. And no, I wasn't perfect either; I called her some names in my house that evening that I had to repent of. So a week goes by, and every day I thought about her and prayed for her to be saved and delivered from those evil spirits that are controlling her. About a week later, I was in a weight room right across the hall from her class that was just about to start, when I start talking to a woman and her mom I just met. She was telling me how she just had cancer; so I said "why don't we pray about that" and we held hands and prayed for her. And then spontaneously I went across the hall to her class, full of the same people that saw her act out at me. I walked up to the front of the class slowly, while everyone was watching, and that instructors lip was quivering like a mad dog as I walked up. I got just a few inches away from her face and said "about the other day", and I waited until she looked at me. I said, "I forgive you." And I walked slowly out of the classroom. I prayed for her almost everyday afterwards for at least a couple months. I wonder if anyone has ever prayed for her? God wants to use us. If we get so offended so easily and always think its about us, He can't use us to intercede and stand in the gap for others. So looking back, I think of Mark chapter 5. When the demon possessed man runs up to Jesus after he gets out of the boat and just starts manifesting evil behavior. The man wanted to be saved, but the demons knew who Jesus was and asked Him not to cast them out. They immediately started to manifest in the presence of Jesus. The light exposes the darkness! No longer can hide!
Thank you Father God for setting us free! You are the light of the world and I want to join you in your work as you cleanse and purify me first. I submit to you now my mind, my body, my soul and my spirit and I invite you to come in, and CLEAN THIS HOUSE for your Holy Spirit to dwell. And then I ask you to show me where you are working so I can join you in your work of setting the captives free! God is at work to set us free! Shining His light to expose all unclean spirits. Do not keep resisting God. It is not the devil exposing your demons, it is God! Repent and let the light, Gods mercy and love set you free! And like a mother loves you enough to tell you the truth, I will tell you the truth. Because it is only the truth that will set you free.

CHAPTER 8 - HOLDING BACK
CHAPTER 8 - HOLDING BACK
I just remembered that when we had first got to Columbus Ohio, I had made a friend named Christie, and she gave me a ride to a thrift store to buy a few things. And on the counter as we were checking out, was a small town news letter. So I took one and while driving away, I read a scripture that was on it, and it was Acts 5:1-5. It is about how Ananias and Sapphira sold a possession and instead of bringing all the money they got for it to the Apostle, they kept some of the money and lied and said they gave it all. And when I read that, my spirit jumped within me and I told my friend "that is what God is doing! That is what He is doing!" And the next time we went to church, there was a guest speaker that night. And his message was on how we have not given God our best. That we are holding back the best. And he gave the same scripture that was on that newsletter! People were flooding to the altar and bringing all kinds of things and leaving them at the altar. They were even going home and getting stereos, shoes, jackets, and lots of big things; the altar was overflowing with offerings and sacrifices of people giving their best! This is a big 5000 seat church with a big long altar, and it was full! And then God reminded me; I did not give my best. I still kept out of all the things I got rid of, a large bag of jewelry. It was the size of a man shaving bag and heavy, filled with lots of real diamonds, gem stones, silver and gold. I didn't have a car at this time, so the next day, I brought it to the church and gave God my best things that I was holding back. I was also surprised to see lots of other people coming back the next day, still bringing God their best!
Wow, that was an absolutely awesome experience to see all those people hearing God at the same time! If He told me what He was going to do, He was also telling them. That is why no one hesitated to give their best, God was already speaking to them even before they got there.
So I'm sitting here thinking even about when he called me and said "repent". I thought I was already good, when I wasn't. And then I even thought that I had given up everything to follow Him, and I hadn't. Just goes to show how our minds can deceive us. We need to stay constantly in that intimate relationship with Him to lead us and teach us. Proverbs 3:6 - In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
We were starting to thrive and enjoy Columbus, Ohio. I wasn't able to continue bible college due to finances, so I got a full time job as an Apartment Community Manager. God gave us a car for only $200, it burned oil pretty badly but it got us around. Mandy was still going to 1st grade at World Harvest Church and doing well. We even had a picnic at the park with her teacher, so fun.
Another awesome thing that happened when we first got to Columbus was Amanda saw an angel. I had memorized Psalm 91 when we lived in Phoenix because we had so many supernatural things going on. And I was in the habit of saying it every night before bed. But this particular night in Columbus Ohio, we were both sleeping on a borrowed twin mattress on the floor. I forgot to say Psalm 91 over us that night and Amanda woke up in the middle of the night crying and scared. I was so tired, so I just told her its okay honey go back to sleep. And she kept crying, still scared. And then as we were laying there facing each other, she looks past me and behind me and says "I see an angel, I see an angel and she said DO NOT BE AFRAID." And she went right back to sleep. The next day we are sitting in church and the Pastor is preaching on Mary, when the ANGEL GABRIEL SHOWED UP AND TOLD HER "DO NOT BE AFRAID." Amanda and I looked at each other with our mouths wide open in amazement! And then after that happened she would occasionally tell me that she sees a light following her! Praise God!

I was also surprised to see lots of other people coming back the next day, still bringing God their best!
Wow, that was an absolutely awesome experience to see all those people hearing God at the same time! If He told me what He was going to do, He was also telling them. That is why no one hesitated to give their best, God was already speaking to them even before they got there.
So I'm sitting here thinking even about when he called me and said "repent". I thought I was already good, when I wasn't. And then I even thought that I had given up everything to follow Him, and I hadn't. Just goes to show how our minds can deceive us. We need to stay constantly in that intimate relationship with Him to lead us and teach us. Proverbs 3:6 - In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
We were starting to thrive and enjoy Columbus, Ohio. I wasn't able to continue bible college due to finances, so I got a full time job as an Apartment Community Manager. God gave us a car for only $200, it burned oil pretty badly but it got us around. Mandy was still going to 1st grade at World Harvest Church and doing well. We even had a picnic at the park with her teacher, so fun.
Another awesome thing that happened when we first got to Columbus was Amanda saw an angel. I had memorized Psalm 91 when we lived in Phoenix because we had so many supernatural things going on. And I was in the habit of saying it every night before bed. But this particular night in Columbus Ohio, we were both sleeping on a borrowed twin mattress on the floor. I forgot to say Psalm 91 over us that night and Amanda woke up in the middle of the night crying and scared. I was so tired, so I just told her its okay honey go back to sleep. And she kept crying, still scared. And then as we were laying there facing each other, she looks past me and behind me and says "I see an angel, I see an angel and she said DO NOT BE AFRAID." And she went right back to sleep. The next day we are sitting in church and the Pastor is preaching on Mary, when the ANGEL GABRIEL SHOWED UP AND TOLD HER "DO NOT BE AFRAID." Amanda and I looked at each other with our mouths wide open in amazement! And then after that happened she would occasionally tell me that she sees a light following her! Praise God!

CHAPTER 7 - BY FAITH I WENT, NOT KNOWING WHERE I WAS GOING
CHAPTER 7 - BY FAITH I WENT, NOT KNOWING WHERE I WAS GOING
After I sold and gave away all my belongings, and my family made me choose God or them. And my church kicks me out for telling them what God showed me; Its time to move on. I had no idea where I was going, I was just following God hour by hour, asking Him what is next. I ended up at a friends house in Phoenix and stayed there about 3 weeks. Then I moved back to my home town, Sierra Vista, AZ and established a household again and started college classes. While taking a walk the Lord said look at a dollar bill, and when I did, He showed me that the words around the pyramid said "The beginning of the New World Order." So I believe something huge in the world just happened to start this in order. After only a few months, I hear God speak to me again. I was watching Rod Parsley from World Harvest Church for the last year and I saw that he had a bible college. I felt very strongly that God was telling me to go to that bible college, so I sell and give away all of our belongings again. And once again, my mom and dad were very angry that I could even think about leaving right before Christmas.
It was two days before Christmas, 1996, that my daughter and I arrive in Columbus Ohio. I just asked the taxi driver to get me as close as he can to World Harvest Church; and he dropped us off at a Red Roof Inn. I didn't know anyone in Columbus Ohio, its two days before Christmas and snow on the ground. I just looked up the churches phone number and called to ask if there was anyone at the church who could let us stay with them for a couple weeks until I get on my feet. He said, well its Christmas so it may be a little hard, but I will get back to you. Two days go by and still no call from him. So I call him again, and he said I will call you back. And still no call. So God said "go to breakfast at that Waffle House across the street." We did, and while I'm eating God says "see that woman sitting by herself, ask her for a ride." I asked her for a ride and she said, sure no problem but I need to go to my job before I bring you to that church. So she brings us to a Bar in a strip mall of other stores, and says this is my business and gives us a coke and some pretzels. She then hands me the phone and a phone book and says call around look for a place to live. I was so humble, just looking for God to speak to me, so I was doing everything she said. She took me to Georges Creek apartments, I fill out an application and find out that you have to have an income to get approved for an apartment. So Rita, is her name, she cosigns for me to get an apartment! And then she takes me back to her bar and says "by the way, I'm selling this place and here is your dining room table and chairs, your silverware and dishes etc." And then she takes me down the mall a couple stores where her mother is working and her mother gives us a television, then her sister brings us linens and blankets and nik naks. Rita even let me borrow her car for a week so I could go look for a job. Praise God! And after I get my apartment, I meet a woman (whos fictitious name will be Daisy) in the laundry room who goes to World Harvest Church, I tell her about us and she lets us borrow a twin bed mattress and a few bowls.
So now it was after Christmas and it is the New Years Service of 1997 at the church. I have only been to the church three times so far, and I'm sitting kind of in the middle left of sanctuary when Pastor Rod Parsley is preaching. And right in the middle of his preaching, he looks at me and yells, "hey you blondie, yea you. Do you believe that Pastor Rod Parsley can do great exploits in the name of Jesus?" And I nodded my head yes (not really even knowing what exploits meant). And he said "well so will you," And I teared up and couldn't wait to get home so I could look up the word "exploits." Wow it means "great acts of courage and bravery. And I thought, oh my goodness I already feel like I've done great acts of courage, and I'm wondering if he is talking about what I've done already or what I'm going to do! I will never let go of that word God gave me. It keeps me going and having hope, even through the rough times in my life. Even if I only went to Ohio to get that word from God, it was worth it all.
One Sunday at church, the Pastor offers several people to go to bible college for three months until they were able to pay. I jumped on the opportunity and started college. It was so awesome, like going to church everyday! So I only had about nine hundred dollars when I got to Ohio, and time is ticking away. I have been looking for a job and praying for work. I meet this very nice family at church, Joann Rose who offered to take Amanda to school in the mornings. So I go and sign Amanda up for their Christian school at World Harvest Church and get her uniform. She was in first grade, and so cute in her uniform! Time is going by and still no job and now I have an eviction sticker on my door! Was not easy looking for work with snow on the ground and no car. So the same woman, Daisy, that started out helping me in the beginning is now turning against me and wanting all her things back. She was a lay pastor at the church. I was really beginning to feel the spiritual warfare in that environment. Big devils that I have not encountered yet. So at this point, I feel like lots of the neighbors are watching what is going on with me and I'm feeling the enemy of my soul coming against me. I will never forget that while I was taking a shower, I was crying out to God saying "what are you doing to me?"
While at church one Sunday I asked a minister to pray for me and so she then told me to be ready for her and her husband to pick me up very early in the morning. The next morning they take me to the City Hall or Veterans Building and come to find out, Ohio pays for veterans back rent and utilities when you need it. So they paid my back rent and utilities for me and I'm praising God! Not long after that, I get a job as an Apartment Manager at a community down the street. And the other manager there sells me a car for only two hundred dollars. It burned oil pretty bad, but it ran well. Now we are beginning to thrive here in Ohio.
God is faithful! He is my provider. After I have seen him fill my house with things over and over, I have no fear of not having things! And He also says in Matthew 19:29 - And every one that has forsaken houses, or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my names sake, SHALL RECEIVE A HUNDREDFOLD AND SHALL INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE.
I KNOW I AM RICH. My daughter has asked me for things and they would just show up, somehow, somewhere. Once while praying at my apartment in Ohio, God interrupted my prayer and said "take out the trash", and I thought, I already did that. And He said it again. So I took the trash out to the dumpster outside and there was a beautiful wooden cabinet sitting there by the dumpster. So I asked a guy walking by if he could help me bring it in to my apartment. Another time, I found a very nice king size bed in the dumpster and I asked my neighbor to help me get it out and bring it in. We also found a nice bunk bed frame by dumpster for Amanda's room. Things just came from all over, each one a miracle from God! God has always been working on my humility, before I started following Him, I would have never done such a thing, as get things out of the trash and borrow things from people. He is at work in my heart! After all these years of God filling my house with things. I still haven't used up my hundred times more than what I gave up! I am rich!!!!

CHAPTER 6 - POURING MYSELF OUT
CHAPTER 6 - POURING MYSELF OUT Spring of 1996 Luke AFB Phx Az
I can still recall that right before I started selling everything, when God was showing me how to love; my mom and dad came to visit my daughter and I in Phoenix for the weekend. Well just as they had unloaded everything to stay, my dad tried to start a fight immediately (as he has always done in the past, he always instigated and provoked a fight). He was sitting on my couch and said "Laurie, I want to know why every time we get together that there is a fight?" And I sat next to him and put my arm around him and said "I don't know dad, I'm just going to love you no matter what." And they both got very angry and cussing saying what the ___ have we ever done to you! And what kind of religion would turn you away from your family. And I was staying calm, and saying "I'm just going to love you." They were so mad that I did not react the way I always have. My dads eyes looked blood red as they packed their things still cussing at me and left. It proved to me that this was a spiritual battle and I had to depend on God to lead me, because what just happened made no sense to me. What they actually said to me by those actions, was choose us and strife and bitterness and fighting; or choose God and love. Wow, so all of a sudden I started to understand just a little taste of what Jesus had to endure to save us. God had also put in my hands a book called "Boundaries" by Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend; when to say yes and when to say no. This book helped me grow up and take control of my life.
While I was yet selling and giving away everything, I was prayer walking one morning and God said go to the house that had the deliverance bible study. The one that I showed you she was operating in the spirit of Jezebel. Oh my goodness! So here I am ringing her door bell and don't even know what I'm going to say or why I'm there. I'm saying to myself, "why am I here, why am I here?" And she answers the door. I say "Hi there, I was taking a walk and just wanted to stop and talk." She was abrupt with me and said "hold on"; and left me outside for several minutes. I'm pacing, saying "what am I doing here, what am I doing here?" And then she says "come in." She leaves me standing by door inside for several minutes again. She comes back and says come back here, she brings me to the messiest room in the house. A very cluttered office room. So I sit down and say "well I'm not sure why I'm here; I will just tell you what God has been showing me. I said, each time I came to your bible study at your house, you would do something that I was not used to seeing; and I would go home and ask God what was that, was that you?" And He would show me in my bible and bible dictionary about the spirit of Jezebel. And she jumps up and says loudly "do you know what your saying, you are going to have to tell the Pastor about this." And I said "Okay." About a week goes by and then I get a phone call setting up a meeting with Pastor at church. I get there and she is already in his office. The Pastor does not pray with us, he forcefully says to me in front of her; "so what are these accusations against my lay pastor?" And I told him exactly the same thing I told her and he said "who is showing you this?" And I said "the Holy Spirit", and he says "ah fooey!" And I also said that I bought the tapes from when his guest speaker came and taught on the Spirit of Jezebel. He was writing the whole time I was talking and when I asked for a copy of his notes, he said "no". He then said "You need to apologize to my lay pastor or you cannot come back to this church." And I said "no sir, I can't do that." So he escorts me to the door, and still was not going to pray; so I stopped and prayed out loud for God to help us love each other.
So at this point, I only had a folding picnic table, and a couple folding patio chairs in my house. My mom and dad have made me choose them or God. And now the church that I thought was going to help me move on in the destiny God had for me, has kicked me out. They had an elderly man they called a senior pastor at that church who gave me a teaching paper about a week before I got kicked out. He called me wanting his paper back. And I said "oh I cant bring it to you, didn't you hear that I cant come back there." And he said that he had not heard. So I said "well if you would like to come tomorrow and prayer walk with me, I'll give it to you then." I guess I was still hanging on to a thread of hope that someone from the church was going to help me. So the next day he shows up and we walk and pray. Afterward, he wants to come in for a drink of water. While I'm getting some ice out of the refrigerator, he said, "I want to take a shower and have you wash my back." And I was shocked, caught me so much off guard! I said "oh no, no, no!" And he went to my bathroom and took a shower. I was pacing the floor the whole time he was in there praying that God would convict him. When he was done, he practically ran out of my house! About a week later, he called me and asked for my forgiveness, and I forgave him. Wow, that is rare that someone does come back and ask for your forgiveness!
The same church where God was using people to help me and deliver me, was also the same church God taught me about the spirit of Jezebel and how they were spreading fear because they were devil centered and not God centered. And I learned about that wolf in sheep clothes, that I need to be more on guard. I still love all of those people, will never forget them. Miracles happened to me there.
By faith, I followed God every step of the way. I knew that I knew that I was hearing Him and following Him. And now I am at a place that I have given up everything to follow Him and don't even know where I'm going next. And I still have faith!!! He is in control of it all!
Hebrews 11:8 - By faith Abraham when he was called to go out into a place which he should receive for an inheritance, obeyed and he went out, NOT KNOWING WHERE HE WAS GOING. 11:10 - For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose BUILDER AND MAKER IS GOD.
An intimate relationship and following after Gods will for my life costed me everything.
