Sunday afternoon, 08/08/04 God led me up the back side of a mountain. I prayed there for a while. Then God asked me to consecrate the ground to Him. I asked Him if it really was His will for me to do so. I told Him that I wasnt a worthy person. I asked if He wanted me to carry that message to someone else. God told me that no one is worthy. He asked me if I was willing. I held up my half filled water bottle and asked Him to consecrate the water. He made it “Holy to the LORD”. I poured the water out on the ground. He showed me that it was His will to reclaim that which is detestable, and use it to consecrate that which has been desecrated. Then He led me to a path that goes around to the front side of the mountain. It was littered with trash broken bottles, and some torn clothing. I prayed for the kids who had partied up there. I felt the Saviors love for each of His prodigals. He assured me that none would be lost. I claimed His promise to seal each one to Himself.
Tuesday night, 08/10/04 Dear God,
Today was the first day of school. I had to call seven parents about their childrens behavior. Other teachers have already nicknamed my students “The Class from Hell”. Thank-You for showing me, ahead of time, that they are to be Your end-time warriors. Love,
S.
Wednesday night, 09/09/04 Dear LORD,
Last night, in an unprovoked rage, my husband threatened to knock me across the room. Its not safe to sleep in the same room with him, so I installed a lock on the door of the den. Theres a sliding glass door to the outside, so I can make a run for my car if he starts to break down the door. Is my husband also one of the desecrated ones You told me I would consecrate? Then I will keep praying for him, and pour out all that I have.
Wednesday evening, 10/27/04 words of prophecy spoken over me by the same man who visited our church before, who has only met me once, and does not know of my situation:
“Youre one who gets in the middle and just stirs it all up. Its hard for people to sit still when you come in because of the gift of exhortation. Youre like the rocket booster underneath everything. And when nobody knows what to do, its not so much that you know what to do, its just that youre going to just get „em moving. Just get moving. Just try something. Just get moving. Get in gear and God will move. And the gift of exhortation is one that builds a fire under them… God has invested in you the ability to see, and the visions are becoming more frequent, and God says, „Im gonna begin to show you what to do with the visions I show you. Ive anointed your eyes and Ive anointed your heart to desire to see in the spirit realm, and God says, Im going to show you the hearts of men. Im going to show you the conditions of peoples so that youll know how to minister to them and how to encourage them. Theres not a critical bone in your body, therefore the LORD opens up people to you so you see the true condition, but it never bothers you. You never become critical. God says, „Im giving you the ability to lead them in prayers of deliverance… One other thing I see. Its as though theres a person kind of like right close to you and right behind you kind of growling at you, like a dogs kind of threatening you with a growl and kind of like „Rrrrr. I mean business here. Dont you dare! But youre just, like, irritated at the thing, and swatting its nose, and being very kindly, just kind of tapping it and saying „hush hush, and its growling back and trying to intimidate you and finally you just, like, draw the line and you just say, „no; and you turn back and you smack the nose and its okay „cause God says, „be strong with that person because as soon as you drew the line on that person, as soon as you snapped the line, as soon as you drew the line, that whole intimidating thing just left them and the whole thing calmed down. Draw the line. Dont tolerate it. Its not that youre being mean. Its just that youre not going to allow that beastly dog nature to come through that person and intimidate you with a growl anymore. No fear!”

Dear LORD,
Your love for me has kindled my love for You. As a fire gathers strength, love increases as it consumes. Transforming Fire, whose light guides, whose heat refines, whose voice ignites the souls of Your children. Burn in me today.

Dear S.,
I traded My life for yours.
All I am asking of you is to accept the trade.
I will live in you, and you in Me.
Do you accept the trade?
Take time with this.
Are you willing to trade all that you have for all that I have? Are you willing to trade all that you are for all that I am?
Look at it with Me.
Love,
God
Wednesday morning, 12/01/04 Dear LORD,
You are the Voice that knows my name
even in the darkest night.
Your love sees beyond the shame
and calls me back to life.
Your light always reaches me
no matter where I hide.
I want to lose and find myself in You.
Love,
S.

Dear S.,
You are the vessel of silver that carries My water of life to a thirsty world. I have given you a new name, known only by you, to signify this.
Love,
God
Friday morning, 01/07/05 Dear LORD,
Though troubles and worries beset me, and I still forget You, I know that You are near.
I will serve You in the lions den.
You will close the mouths of the lions.
Even though I cant see You in the darkness of their den, I will praise Your name.
I will seek You. I will follow You by faith.
