This blog has a word that the Lord gave to William Robertson for me. I felt like the Lord was saying trust in me; I will perform the work in you that I have called you to. I will fulfill the anointing that I have put on you. I am grateful that it is the Lord's job to fulfill the call on life. It is my job to be obedient. It is His job to perform the work. I like it, it's mine!

Here we go Pastor Dawn here is the word I spoke to you this morning at church. " The Lord would say that there is a yoke upon you, one that I have placed and no one can remove, for this yoke is for my Body to see, my Body to hear and my Body to grow in knowledge and authority by the prophetic words that I will speak through you. Throu...gh this anointing, this yoke I will cause you to see the fruit that I have planted and I have tilled and you will know How Big I am within you says your Lord. Confirm this word sister for we know that in the mouths of two or more witnesses it shall be confirmed and in the midst of many counselors there is much wisdom. God bless you for the work and the love you have for Jesus' sheep at Skyway and anywhere your feet take you. I also felt the Lord telling me for you to spread out your tent pegs for He is going to expand your vision as well.

In Christ, Your brother Bill.

In this blog, you will find the healing scriptures and declarations that I used for the serman I preached on Oct. 3, 2010. When you see the same verse more than once, it is because I wanted to emphasis the meaning. I have also highlighted these verses in order to draw attention to them.

Exodus 23:25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. (KJV)

Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh. KJV

20 My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words.
21 Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart,
22 f or they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.


Exodus 15:25-26–there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee. 26 … I the Lord am your healer.
26 … I am the Lord your life-giver.
26 … I am Yahweh your physician.
26 … I, the Lord, make you immune to them (diseases).


Hebrews 4:12 – For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit (KJV)

12 God’s Message is full of life and power.
12 God’s Word is alive with energy.


Psalm 107:20 – He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.11 My word, which comes from my mouth, is like the rain and snow. It will not come back to me without results. It will accomplish whatever I want and achieve whatever I send it to do.” (GW)

Declaration: Lord, Thank you for your everlasting statute and ordinance that is a promise to me, according to your life giving, powerful word, you are my physician and your word is my medicine. I will attend to to your word, I will incline my ear to it, I will keep it in the midst of my heart and you will heal me because your word will accomplish what you set it to do. You are my healer, your word is life to those who find it and I diligently seek it. Thank you for healing all of my flesh. I speak to my flesh and I tell it, you have no choice but to be healed. I have the word of God coursing through my spirit into my body and my body must line up with the living the word of God. I am healed of all my diseases. In Jesus name!

Deuteronomy 7:15 – And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; (KJV)

Psalm 30:2– O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. (KJV)

Psalm 91:1-6, 9-10 – 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. (KJV)

3 ……… and keep you safe from wasting disease.
3 He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly disease.
9 Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place.
10 So sickness will not approach you, Contagion not enter your rest.



Malachi 4:2– But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. (KJV)

Declaration:Lord, I am drawing near to you, I am abiding in your secret place. Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord and I am in my safe resting place. You are my refuge and my fortress. I trust you to deliver me from the snare of the enemy. I thank you for protecting me from evil and not allowing any disease to come upon my dwelling place. I thank you that there is healing in your wings and I am dwelling under the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 103:1-5 Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. (NKJ)Psalm 107:2 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (KJV)

20 … he sent his word to heal them and preserve their life.
20… and delivereth them from their graves.


Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (KJV)

Declaration:Thank you Lord that forgiveness and healing are some of the benefits of having a relationship with you. You sent your word and healed me and delivered me from my destruction. You pardon all of my guilt and heal all of my sufferings. Thank you that by your stripes, your bruises, and your chastisment, I am healed and delivered from an early grave.

Matthew 8:16-17– When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. (KJV)

17He Himself took (in order to carry away) our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases.
17 He took away our illnesses and lifted our diseases from us.
17He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.


Mark 5:25-34 25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. (KJV)

34 "Daughter," He said, "your faith has cured you: go in peace, and be free from your complaint." (WEY)

Matt 9:27-30 (NKJV) 27 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, "Son of David, have mercy on us!" 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord." 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be to you." 30 And their eyes were opened.

Mark 11:2424 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Luke 13:11-1311 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

Hebrews 13:8 (NKJ)8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Declaration:Lord, You are the same, yesterday, today and forever. You perform the same miracles today that you performed in the past. I declare my desire to be healed by you and I believe that you are my healer, I believe that you took my infirmities, you bore my sickness upon yourself and took away all of my diseases. Your word says that my faith has made me whole. I believe that you are able to do this, therefore, I walk in peace and am entirely free from disease and completely loosed from all infirmities. In faith, I receive this now and I give you all the glory for healing me.

Luke 10:19 – Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (KJV)

19 Yes, I have given you power to trample every evil underfoot, to counter all the might of the enemy; nothing whatever shall harm you.

Romans 8:10-13 and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness,11 and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you. 12 So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; 13 for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live; (YLT)

11 Does the Spirit of the one who brought Jesus back to life live in you? Then the one who brought Christ back to life will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.

12 So, brothers and sisters, we have no obligation to live the way our corrupt nature wants us to live.

13 If you live by your corrupt nature, you are going to die. But if you use your spiritual nature to put to death the evil activities of the body, you will live. (GW)



I Peter 2:24– Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (KJV)

24 Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross so that freed from our sins, we could live a life that has God's approval. His wounds have healed you. (GW)

Declaration: Lord you have given me the power to trample every evil underfoot, to counter all the might of the enemy: Therefore, nothing whatever shall harm me. You bore my sins in your body on the cross, Therefore, I do not live according to the flesh, but by your spirit, consequently, my body shall live. I use my spiritual nature to put to death the evil activities of my body and I live by the Spirit of God. Christ is in me. You have sent forth your word to accomplish this in me and because your wounds have healed me, I shall live free of disease.

III John 2– Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (KJV)

Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (KJV)

John 14:12-14– Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (KJV)

Declaration:Lord, it is your good pleasure to see me healthy and prosperous. I come into agreement with your word, and by faith I ask you to heal my body from all diseases, aches, pains and turmoil. I will follow your directives as stated in Proverbs 4:20-22 I will attend to your words and incline my ear unto your sayings. I will not let them not depart from my eyes; I will keep them in the midst of my heart. For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Amen!

2 Corinthians 10:55We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (NIV

Have you opened the wrong doors?

I asked the Lord, a couple days ago about a situation that I have been dealing with and His quick decisive answer was "The witch of Endor" If you know about Saul, you know that he called on a medium when he wasn't getting the anwers he wanted from God. There are many people who want to walk in the power of God, but aren't willing to put in the face time with Him in order to have enough of Him to have the overflow of His power in their lives. Therefore, they take "the easy route" and call on a medium or some other nonsense in order to get through a specific ordeal that they are going through. They don't realize that this is not the easy way. When you walk in the ways of darkness, your path just gets darker. It is kind of like when Drs. prescribed leeching. The bugs sucked some blood out of a patient and they felt better for a while. But, then their life blood was sucked out of them. Whenever you make any pact no matter how insignificant it may seem, with the enemy, he will suck your lifeblood out of you. You cannot get ahead by siding with the evil one, no matter what temporary relief you may think you are getting.
If you have had any dealings with the enemy, you must repent and turn from them. You are opening dark doors for yourself and your future generations. Take a moment and pray this prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, please forgive me for opening these doors either purposefully, or mistakenly. I ask you to cover me and my family with the blood of Jesus and slam shut the doors that I have opened. Place a hedge of the blood of Jesus around my family and all those who I have an association with. I ask you to fill us with the Holy Spirit to overflowing so that there is no room for the evil one or his minions to have any foothold in my life. I give my life completely to you. Thank you Lord for your redemption.

There are many ways that we can open our lives up to the enemy, including: Horoscopes, tarot cards, palm reading, automatic writing, seance, new age cleansing ceremonies etc. If you are involved with these things, you must repent, turn completely away from them and rely on the Lord for any spiritual insights that you need. He will lead you and guide you every where you need to go. If you want information that He is not giving you, you don't need the information.

Perspective, thoughts from David Lake

My friend, David Lake shared this word with me today and I thought it would be encouraging for each of you. Be blessed as you read what the Lord told him about perspective. Dawn


I was spending time with the Lord today and just wanted to encourage everyone to keep these times in perspective! Hope you enjoy! David

James 1:2-4, My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete , lacking nothing.

You bring out Your chosen people from among the captives as a testimony to Your children that You are able! Lest there have been captivity how would I have know that there was no chains that could hold bound those whom You have called! Each thing in this life is not about my ability to overcome. It is about Your testifying to each man of Your great power! You speak of Your faithfulness by the circumstances that cause me to depend on You! How would I have known You could lead me through the wilderness lest You have allowed a wilderness for me to be led through? How could I know that You rescue me from the enemy lest You allow an enemy to rescue me from? How could I know the wickedness of my heart lest You allow me to walk after my heart? How could I have known Your mercy lest You allow me to put myself in a position where I need Your mercy? How could I have known You provide for me lest You allow me to be in a position where only You can provide? How could I know that You give me wisdom lest You allow a problem that exhausts my supply of ideas? How could I have known my foolishness lest You allow my foolishness to manifest itself? How could I have known my need for Your strength to stand lest You allow the situation that reveals my best efforts fail me in my efforts to stand? How could I know that You meet me in the quiet place lest there be a noisy place where You are not? How could I have known my thinking was not Your thinking lest my expectations were not met so that I might see that You have something greater! You are good! Life is not about overcoming the enemy. What need is there to overcome that which You have already defeated. He merely is a pawn which God uses to show His greatness to those whom He loves! Life is an illustration of who You are. Each circumstance reveals to me that which is hidden in my heart. Every situation, a picture that reveals Your character to those whom You love. Each one of us is really the center of Your world. You made it like that. You wrote a story about each one of us. Each chapter testifies of how You came to show Yourself to us. Each book is about Your child.

John 17:3, And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

Times and sequences of times.

There are times and sequences of times that must come to fruition and be fulfilled before the errant ways are to subside. I emplore my children to walk in the wisdom of my ways and my times so that you needn't walk in the wilderness of your own ways. I will lead you, I will lead your nation. You needn't worry about the epoch damage that appears to be happening. I will take this nation and create a new one, one with a heart for my ways. My timing and my ways have always been different than your timing and ways. Look to me, look to your future with me. I am telling you now. The only time that you need to be aware of is the time you spend with me. I am looking to the future, the past does not hold me. I am in charge of the past and the future and I will not let your inheritance be stolen. Am I not available 24/7. Have you ever truly found anyone else who was? Who is there with you at 3:33 in the morning, yes 3:33 in the morning. That is my time and my timing, do not shut me out. Do not postpone our meeting. I am aware of your every need. I can rearrange your day, I can start it at a different time each day. Do not worry about the times and the ways of the times. Let loose, let loose some of your standards about time.
Enter into the gates of provision and I will give you the dreams of your inheritance. Do not go back to the old ways of thinking and desiring. I am putting new desires in your heart and you need to release the old ones. Those were for old dreams and for old days. These are new days and I am giving you a new dream, a new word, a new development. Do not rely on what you have known from the past. This is not the past, this is not the past, this is not the past. I am leading you in a new and clear direction. Take the time, take the time to hear what I am saying to you. I have a new revelation for you. I have a heart that you have not known. It is time, a time of epoch changes. Take the time to hear and learn and feel the changes. You will be altered. You will feel the shift. You will not have to wonder if this is what I am talking about because when it hits you will feel it. You will feel the altering of time and times and sequences of times. You will feel them and you will know what I am talking about. Time, times and portions of times I give to you.

Is He being silent or.........

Sometimes I think that God is not speaking to me or I just am not very good at hearing from Him. Then I ask Him a question and I have an immediate answer and I realize, once again, the only time He is not speaking to me is when I am not speaking to Him. Why oh why do I wait so long between conversations? Believe me, He always has something good to say. I pray all the time, "Lord give me ears to hear, eyes to see and a heart to understand your ways." But, what good does it do me, or you if I have ears to hear and eyes to see and a heart to understand His ways if I don't enter into the conversation with Him in the 1st place? hmmm

Last night I asked the Lord what He wanted to talk to me about and He quickly answered Solomon. I thought, hmm Solomon. I opened my bible and it flipped open to the story of Solomon. To me, this is an example of all you gotta do is ask! He is so ready to speak to you and lead you to where He wants to take you. I implore you to take a moment and ask Him what He wants to talk to you about.

There are a lot of great things from Solomon's life in the 2 Chronicles 7-9 scriptures that the Lord is speaking to me about right now, but I will save those thoughts for later. I think He wanted you to know that He is listening. He is ready to speak. Are you ready to enter into the conversation with Him?

Be blessed my friends and let me know what the Lord is saying to you.

Quarantine yourself

On 12-29-08, the Lord gave me a word for myself and the congregation. The following is a portion of that word.
" Relegate the things of the past to the past and look to me. Allow me to be your rear guard, your buffer. I AM-Yes, I am that I am and I am for you. Quarantine yourself, quarantine yourself for a time of holiness. Go forth only as I tell you to. Create my presence by hearing my voice and listening to what you hear. I am as near as the whispers in the trees."

This morning, He reminded me of the part that reads, quarantine yourself. It is once again time to be quarantined from the needs of the world. Sometimes the cries of the earth and the people therein are so loud that it is difficult to pull away and focus on the Lord. I feel strongly that He is telling me, He can take care of those who are crying; those who are in need. He wants to talk to me. There have been times that He has told me, "Hear my voice and listen to what you hear." I know that sounds redundant, but how many times have you heard something and not listened to it? We live with so much background noise that we have learned how to tune out so many things. It is once again time to quarantine yourself, hear from the Lord and listen to what He is saying to you. I know it is a challenge in this ever busy world, but He wouldn't ask it if it wasn't possible.

Tonight I was reading Ezekiel 3:22-24 There the hand of the Lord was upon me and He said to me, "Arise, go out into the plain, and there I shall talk with you." So I arose and went out into the plain, and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face. Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and spoke with me and said o me; "Go shut yourself inside your house........ 27: But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them. 'Thus says the Lord God, He who hears, let him hear, and he who refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.

When I read this, I was reminded of what He was speaking to me this morning about being quarantined. This scripture says "shut yourself inside your house'.... but when I speak with you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them.....

I think He was reminding me that when I am quarantined with Him, He speaks not only to me, but to you. I know that He is no respecter of persons and He wants to speak to you as well as to me. So, my friends, take this opportunity to set aside some significant time to wait upon the Lord so that He can speak to you and then open your mouth with His word.

Be blessed

It's not all about you!

I was reading the book of James today and there are so many good things in there. It is a quick read, if you haven't done your reading today, James would be a good place to start.

James 5:19-20 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

As I read that passage, I was reminded of my first blog a few days ago. John 11:11 and Revelation 11:11 both talk about people being raised from the dead. Yes, I do plan on raising people from the dead- both physically and spiritually, who wants to do that with me? Okay, that was a rabbit trail. To get back on track now; When these people were raised from the dead, it benefited them greatly. Of course, they were no longer in heaven with the Lord which is our greatest benefit and prosperity, but to come back to life and be able to impact this world is profound. But, it is not only profound for them, it is profound for every one around them.

Just think about it. Lazarus had a mom that needed him, he had family and friends that counted on him. What if he was the only one in town that knew how to make shoes, what if he was the only one that knew how to start a fire, what if his job was to milk the cows? Of course each of these things I listed are silly examples and 'what ifs' but the reality is, everyone is counted on by someone in this life.

We are not here alone. You may feel alone and if so, it is time for you to do something for someone else. But, hear me now. You were not put here for isolation. You were put here to impact the lives of those around you. When you turn a sinner from the error of his way, when you bring someone back to life, physically or spiritually, you save a soul and cover a multitude of sins. When a multitude of sins is covered, when a person is brought back to life- these things impact people. When people are impacted, they look for the root of that impaction. The root of every thing you do should lead people back to the Lord. We need to look at the 2nd chances that the Lord gives to us and to those around us as opportunities to impact the world for the prosperity of the Kingdom of God. We need to work together to strengthen the inheritance of our Savior Jesus Christ. For Him and to Him, that should be our battle cry. Ask the Lord to show you how to impact someone for Him today.

Be blessed, my friends

A life praised of God

My good friend Tracy Cavelli Trussell has a radio program that airs every Tuesday called Embracing Gods Best. You can find a link to her website on my facebook page. She also has a blog www.tracywriting4him.blogspot.com The following comment is from her.

"I must say that my heart is very heavy tonight. The spiritual atmosphere of our Government must be addressed there are many decisions being made that will only further place our country at risk. The tide must turn, and in order for that to take place we must stand on the wall of prayer and drive it home! I really don't believe we understand the severity of this." Tracy

I was reading the scriptures tonight and this is where I started.

Ezekiel 39: 14 They will set apart men regularly employed with the help of a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. The search party will pass through the land; and whenever anyone sees a man's bone, he shall set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

I then went back and did a little study on how these bones got there and why. The bones are from the people of Gog. They were led by the Lord to the mountain of Israel and demolished. Their bones were picked clean by birds of prey and the beasts of the fields, their possessions were so great, it took Israel 7 years to gather the spoils. Gog thought it had Israel in a strong hold. But God!!

I believe that Gog is the spirit driving what is going on right now in the world. But, it is just being led on by the Lord, so that in His victory, in our victory, All will know that Our God is the Lord. It is time for us to plunder those who have plundered us. So, as Tracy commented before, we are in a place where things must be addressed and we must pray. It is time to cleanse this land of the iniquities of Gog, then God will set His glory among the Nations!

Romans 2:29 but he is a Jew, who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.
Let's walk a holy and upright walk that the Lord is proud of. I want to be praised from God. I think this is one of my favorite scriptures. I desire to live a life praised of God. I hope as I press towards that goal, you will press in with me.
Be blessed and thank you for reading "the prophetic me." I am having fun writing it!

Who are you when.......

Tonight as I was washing my face, I was reminded of something that happened today. Greg and I were taping at TBN. We arrived at the studio around 12:30, signed consent forms in the green room, visited with Orlena, Cindy and Cheryl about how the show would look and what things we felt like the Lord was saying. About 30 or 40 minutes later we walked out onto the set, got miked, stood in one spot for quiet a while until the camera crew and the remaining team were ready to roll. Then, 3-2-1, we launched into the hour long interview, which certainly goes by so quickly that it is amazing. Then I left the platform and Greg did another quick 15 minute segment with Cheryl about the upcoming events she has in store for Arizona. This quick segment probably took about 30 minutes by time all the roll ins and outs and delays were done. We then proceeded to film approximately 10, 15 second greetings for TBN. One for each holiday of this and the coming year. These are filmed with a green screen back drop, so I am assuming they will place us in all sorts of exotic locales throughout the year! It will look like we always wear the same clothes, but thats part of the fun right?

Anyway, I say all that to say this. It takes a while to tape a program. The entire team was at the studio way before we were. They were setting up, checking lights, sound etc. for hours before we arrived. Today was an "off day" for filming, so many of the people were there working on this project when they most likely had some other work to do. When the project was wrapped for the day, I was walking down the studio hallway and one of the camera men was walking in the hallway at the same time. He had been on the camera the farthest from the door and was to me, the least visible person in the studio. As I walked near him, I said 'thank you." He seemed slightly startled for a second and then proceeded to thank me as well.

As this moment in time was brought to my remembrance, I felt the need to share with you, my dear readers, this question........
Who are you when the "important people' are not in the room? The slightly startled expression on the camera man's face gave me the impression that to most people that he films, he is not one of the important people, and even in this distinctly Christian environment, he is most likely, quite frequently over looked. Who are you when the "important people" are not in the room? I know how easy it is to over-look the people who are in the trenches really making things happen. Who are you when the maintenance man walks by, who are you when the dental tech is the only one in the room with you, who are you when the cashier rings up your groceries, who are you when the usher hands you a bulletin at church, who are you when your spouse or children are the only ones around?

Matt 25:30 When you have done it to the least of these my bretheren, you have done it unto me.

Do me a favor. Thank our camera men, our ushers, our kiosk team, or one of our many workers this weekend at church and carry out that mandate throughout your week. You will bless someone's life and your own in a way that you may never understand.
Be blessed, my friends.

Isaiah 11:11 and more

So, I decided to start a blog in regards to the prophecies and other fun stuff in my life. Take this journey with me as I explore what the Lord is doing in and through my life. I hope we all have fun along the way. Be blessed

Kristen told me God had 11:11 for me and asked me what I was hearing in this.
My immediate thought was Isaiah 11:11
Later He took me to John 11:11
And then to Revelation 11:11

In all of these scripture references I noticed a common theme of 2nd chances.
I will explore my thoughts on this more at a later time.
