According to Google, there are 195 nations in the world. Since making my blog “public” several years ago and adding the Podcast this year (info below) – it has now reached 156 of them. It fills me with joy to know that they go where I have not been able to. Even so, I still have a deep desire to go and teach the Word, pray for people, and see God move in mighty ways. But there has been no green light from my Father these last years. As we entered the Easter season of 2020, I began a forty-day fast. Then a couple of days into the fast, came the pandemic. What a challenge! But God gave me two prayer warriors whose prayers helped carry me through. And then at the end of the fast I heard this from the Lord. “Tarry there until you are endued with power.” I didn’t understand exactly. Tarry where? Though I have prayed and pondered and even preached on the Holy Ghost, I still wasn’t exactly sure how this Word at this time was applicable to me.
The very next morning I wrote these words as I sat in my little prayer closet. I believe as He often does for me, God speaks as I write.
“Old dreams with new anointing by the power of the Holy Ghost will carry you into this next season and usher you through. You will go deep but you will also be required to navigate the currents in the deepest and sometimes loneliest places. You will think you are drowning, but take comfort in My heart and relax as best you can. Though it will be hard, try to stay above water and wait there…until you are endued with power. Then I will come pull you from the riptide. When I do and you are safely back on shore, when you come to, you will see that during the time of struggle this turned into a season of dreams come true…My dreams in you.”
So what are the old dreams? I dream of a life of missions. Is it crazy that in this hour, I just want to GO?!!! I dream of teaching the Word and fulfilling the call to disciple. I dream of praying for others and seeing the miraculous – healing! I dream of igniting others with the desire for prayer, the Word, and healing that He placed in me. I dream that God would take my writing (such as it is) and use it somehow. I dream of writing and speaking by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Missions, the Word, prayer, healing! It seems all over the place, but it is very precise.
Perhaps in these next years, I will be able to touch the other 39 nations in some way. Wouldn’t it be so amazing, when it is time to go to my heavenly home, to have touched every country in the world and to be greeted by the nations? That is my “impossible” awfully big dream!!!! That is His dream!!!
Father, would You give me the nations? As I pray for them and find out more about them would You show me how to use this tool to reach those across the world? Lord, I know it is an awfully big dream. I fully know it is something only You can do. I full know it was Your dream before it was mine! I humbly ask again today – Lord will You give me the nations as my inheritance too…according to Your Word and for Your Glory….in Jesus’ holy and precious Name!!! Amen!!!

The Podcast “a lamp and a light” began on January 1, 2022. Together with a group of friends from Message of Love Church in Belmont, NC., we are using the One-Year Daily KJV Bible to read the Word of God aloud and send it all over the world. Real people with flaws, issues, and sometimes distractions reading the Word in a very real environment (meaning no studio and no extensive edits – if the dog barks you hear him. If we stumble over the words, you hear that too.)
So far in 2022 the Podcast has been blessed with listeners from 70 countries and in the USA from 42 states. ALL PRAISE AND GLORY TO GOD!
The Word of God – every book, every chapter, every verse, every word, every single day.
