Oh my gosh! Recently I discovered some unwanted, univited, rolls of fat around my tummy. How could this have happened? Hmmmm….maybe it was because of that craving for toast, butter and jam before I went to bed at night….especially the night I ate 5 of them…..or maybe it is because of the 2 baskets of chips I ate at the Mexican restuarant - before my meal came…..or perhaps it was the 3 Naniamo bars I ate for desert…or maybe it was due to lack of exercise. …or maybe simply because I am now 55 years old and I get to invest health into my body at this stage of life. Whatever, I better get working on this right away.

Lord, thank You for giving me a strong body that has been able to accomplish things for You. Thank You for calling it Your temple…the temple of Your Holy Spirit…I want it strong for You Father….I want Your glory to shine through me…thanks for living inside and promising to never leave. I love You.

The other morning I was out for a prayer walk with Shirley before the Tucson Glory School began. We met a few homeless people and encouraged them as they were waking up. On our way back to the hotel, a young man was crossing the street. Looking right at us, he said, “Do you know where I can find a church?”. I answered, “We are the church… how can we help you?”

He shared that he had just arrived in Tucson from New Mexico and had no money and no place to stay. We explained that we were not from the area but we did know pastors who could help him. We brought him back to the hotel with us and gave him breakfast. He landed up hanging with us for the entire Glory School and we put him up in the hotel. On Sunday night, we had an open Glory night and our new friend, “Gerdan”, gave his life to Jesus. He was weeping uncontrollably — so precious. He is still with us - now in the Glory to Glory School. He is reading Todd Bentley’s testimony book, “Journey into the Miraculous” and we are getting him into a program today to help him grow in the Lord, get a trade and get rehabilitaed from some areas of bondage in his life. We love him. Our entire team have taken him under their wing…it is so sweet…it is Kingdom.

Thank You Jesus for saving Gerdan…thank You for giving us a new friend…one of Your gems.

This week we launched our 24/7 prayer chain for children who have been expoited and trafficked in the sex trade. Our heart goes out to the children in the world who are being violated in this way. They have no ability to cry out for themselves…so we will cry out for them. We will be the voice that they do not have.
In our first 4 hours of sending out the email to introduce the prayer chain, around 200 people signed up to pray for 1 hour per day. I am so touched by the response of the Body. We will raise up more and more until every moment of every day is covered. The bowls of incense in heaven (which are filled with prayers of the saints) will be overflowing. We will cry out day and night for these children and our God will answer our prayers.
Thank You Jesus for giving us a heart for these children. Rescue many…rescue all…heal them….restore them….help us…to help them… Thank You Jesus.

We arrived in London earlier today after spending two days in Chorleywood at a conference with Mark Stibbe and Doug Addison. We were famished at dinner time and decided to go out for a quick bite to eat. To our delight, we found a quaint Indian restaurant just down the street from our hotel. We had a great meal… even though we have a few restrictions due to a fast our team is on right now.

I totally love Indian cuisine and the reason I am writing in my blog tonight is because I want to thank You Lord for creating India and Indian food and also for creating such a wonderful variety of nations in the earth — each with their own unique foods and customs.

Lord, are we going to eat Indian food in heaven? I hope so…. hhhmmmm.

Well, tommorrow is a big day - I start to teach a 2 day school so I had best get to bed - it is well after midnight here right now.

Thanks Jesus for allowing us to enjoy such a wonderful Indian meal tonight….and bless India and all the people there with special grace…especially those who do not know You yet.

Good night Jesus. I love You… and would You please help me get over the jet lag? Thanks.

God TV launched in the USA yesterday (October 1 - Day of Atonement)…I am so happy about this. Rory and Wendy Alec (founders of God TV) are becoming good friends to us and our program airs on their network Wednesday nights at 9:00 pm ET. .. wow that is tomorrow! I am in Pepperill Masachusettes right now and when I got in from the meeting last night I put the computer on to watch the launch. It is so exciting…the network is very fresh and I know it will do well.

Jesus, I pray for Rory and Wendy Alec. I know that they have poured so much into this pivotal time. Keep them strong. Look after all their needs and give them great favor. Thank You Jesus.

Keeran went into the hospital last week and had surgery on his tooth. My son and daughter-in-law were allowed to be with him until he was completely under. The operation was successful and when he recovered from the anaesthetic he got up like usual to play. He was comfortable, no pain or discomfort. I spoke with him on the phone the next day and he was my happy little Keeran. A big thank you to all of you who prayed…I don’t take your love and prayer commitment lightly….thank you and…thank You Jesus…You were there watching over him through the entire time….and you are still watching over him…you will always watch over him…You are amazing! You are love!

I just returned back from the UK last night after a wonderful weekend in Dudley with our friends Sharon and Trevor Baker. On arrival, I received news that our dear little Keeran (now 2.5 years old) had fallen down the stairs and cracked his tooth on the tile at the bottom of the staircase. Keeran has a big stuffed dog named Darby and he along with another little friend had been helping Darby go down the stairs when the accident occurred. Keeran was taken to the hospital but the Doctor was unable to get the tooth removed from the bone so he is now going to need surgery.
When I heard the news my heart fell to my stomach. I immediately called on our team for prayer - they are so faithful!!! This morning my daughter-in-law, Rose took him for further consultation and the Doctor was pleased that Keeran was comfortable and did not seem at all distressed about the tooth. I know this was as a result of prayer. He will be having surgery but in the meantime, he is comfortable and is able to give a lot of loving support to Darby who also fell down the stairs.
Children are such a gift…wonderful treasures from above.
Lord, please keep all children safe… watch over Keeran tonight and…Darby too….thank You Jesus. I love You!

This morning has been interesting. I received a number of emails that contained some jolting news and as a result I feel emotionally vulnerable and pressured. As I was processing (over a freshly brewed cup of starbucks coffee), I realized once again that Jesus is my rock and even in the midst of lots of changes, He is always the same and He has absolutely everything under control.

Jesus, I am leaving everything in Your awesome, strong, and capable hands. You will take care of it all. I now have no worries…no concerns. You are taking care of everything… aaahhhh - this is great! What a way to live.

I think I will go out this morning for a pedicure and a massage….yes….why not? My Jesus is taking care of everything.

“When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than ……. all the shaking news I could ever receive!!!!!!!”

Thank You Jesus! I Love you Jesus. Now…. it is time to go spend some quality moments with You - morning devotionals and prayer…here I come Lord.

This has been the most amazing summer! I have just returned home after 3 weeks of intensive, glorious ministry. We hosted a Glory School in New Mexico, then went to Houston and served with Keith and Janet Miller, Bill Johnson, Todd Bentley, and David Herzog for an over-the-top 5 day conference. Then to New Orleans with Georgian Banov for television taping and an evening meeting with radical youth, and finally to Knoxville with Ryan Wyatt, Bob Jones, and Jeff Jansen. Oh my gosh! It has been an amazing summer - full of miracles, signs, and wonders. We have witnessed numerous healings, salvations, people filled with the Spirit, along with gemstones and other signs and wonders manifesting. We have noticed phenomenal increases of the weight of glory in gatherings as well as on the streets. Serving the Lord is such a delight and it was great to see good friends again along the way. I also met so many of our partners…ooooohhhh I love our partners!

On the airplane out of Houston, I stood up on my way off the plane and screamed out, I AM CRAZY-IN-LOVE WITH JESUS!. Oh, it felt soooo good!!! You know, you just get so full of His love sometimes that you have to let it all out. I don’t care what anyone thinks. He is worthy! He is awesome!!

Jesus, You are everything to me. I love You so much! I am crazy-in-love with You! I want to be even crazier and I don’t care if the whole world knows…in fact I want them to!

(definition of “crazy” - wildly affectionate, out of mental control, unconventional emotional outbursts; possessed by enthusiasm or excitement; immoderately fond, infatuated, intensely involved or preoccupied, foolish or impractical, to an exceeding degree)

Today, I was in a hurry to get ready to go on the road for 3 weeks non-stop. I looked at my roots and knew that I had to get them done but I had no time to sit in a salon for half a day….so…. I had a brilliant idea…I will do it myself - that way I can continue to work while it is processing. Often my husband does my color for me but he was busy with the ministry, so I stood on the promise that, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

I don’t want to explain it all, but… I did it all wrong. I over bleached the ends and they are purple…and I underbleached the roots and they are orangey. So my hair is purple and orange….hmmm..just thought of something… they are just like the color of the gemstones that fell at THE PARTY conference this weekend. Maybe there is some kind of big prophetic message in this for me… like,… hmmm…. “my hair is like a gem?”….or maybe, I just need to run out and get some help with this.

Father, you love us no matter what color of hair we have, size we are, or giftings we demonstrate. Your love is outstanding!!! Thanks… and you know what Father? When I think of your great love it helps me to forget about my purple and orange hair. HELP.
