Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. John 20:18
The Blessed Holy Spirit has been ever-faithful to lead me to spend many hours with Him in the Book of John. During a most holy time, as I sat with the Comforter reading out loud John, Chapter 20, I was bestowed a magnificent vision of our Beloved Lord Jesus!
In this vision, I was motioned by the Holy Spirit to look up at the ceiling. There, I saw the Risen Lord watching over me. The Lord appeared as I have seen Him in His Earthly Body: His Face partially covered with His Beard. And I saw our Lord’s Beautiful Hair.
Earlier this week, as I sat on my living room sofa with thy Blessed One weeping for my beloved America He began to comfort my heart. Thereafter, the Merciful Father manifested in my heart His will to perfect what concerneth His Children. The Lord is going to heal the discouragement.
In America, we have witnessed great turmoil the past months; beginning with the tragic death of George Floyd, a divided and hurting nation as a result of the 2020 Presidential Electionand the tragic deaths at the U.S. Capital.
The Lord knows that many intercessors in His Body are feeling discouraged and weary with their assignments to intercede for the Country. Brethren, I encourage you to continue to stand and not be weary in well-doing. The Lord Jesus has heard our cries for the Church and the nation. Let us continue to stand as He part the Red Sea.
It is my prayer that you enter into rest with the Comforter and delight in Him. I declare as you wait upon Him you shall receive a fresh wind of anointing and rest from weariness and war. Amen.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:28-31
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Psalms 24:7-8
Over the years, I have often pondered on the King of Glory choosing to rest His glory on His Disciple, Apostle Peter wherefore the shadow of him would be used to heal. Acts 5:15-16.
During a long season of sitting at thy Lord Jesus’ Feet, He was most faithful to answer me and give revelation on how Peter’s shadow was used to perform the great miracles recorded in the Scriptures. I marveled as the Holy Spirit in His lovingkindness revealed the secret to me: Peter had acquired a pure heart and thereby his shadow could host the glory of the Lord to heal.
The suffering the Apostle endured after the Ascension of our Blessed Lord Jesus must have produced a purity of soul. For it is a refined vessel who walks with Adonai, the Consuming Fire.
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. Psalms 24:3-4
In the Book of John, Chapter 14, verse 12, the Blessed Master says: 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. This is what the Apostle Peter demonstrated in his walk during his Earthly ministry of miracles, signs, wonders and intercession. As you remember, when Peter was visiting Lydda after praying for Aeneas, a most beloved woman who gave alms named Dorcas (Tabitha) died from an unknown sickness. Peter was summoned to leave Lydda for Joppa to pray for the deceased woman whose body had already been washed. There was knowledge of the fire and glory of thy Lord God that rested on Peter in Joppa. The Bible records that the Apostle Peter was a man of prayer. I gather the women who wept for Dorcas after her death also prayed for her to recover from this sickness. In His faithfulness, the Blessed One would use His son, Peter’s intercession to be glorified in her resurrection.
The dimension of prayer that the Holy Spirit opened for Peter was the glory realm. Apostle Peter had dominion and authority to command Dorcas’ spirit and life to return back into her body. This resurrection power of the Lord Jesus most marvelously resurrected Tabitha from the dead. Surely it was our Great Architect and Father seated on His Throne which spoke through His vessel, Peter, “Tabitha, Arise!” Amen.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17
Dearest Friends, I declare the Blessed One will giveth you His grace to release the trauma the Church has experienced from the pandemic of 2020. May the Blessed Comforter cause you to forget those things which are behind you and reach forth unto those things which our Father of Glory has set before you. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. John 14:21
For a long season, the Blessed Lord Jesus has been gracious to giveth me dreams of Him appearing to me reenacting the time He walked the Earth during His Ministry, Death and Resurrection.
The Lord Jesus, the Son of God visited me shortly after I had been resting in Him. In this most blessed dream, I saw the Risen Lord standing outside of His Empty Tomb. The King of Glory was standing near the opening of the Tomb clothed in a Robe. The Lord’s Face was Beautiful; it had no bruising or scars. The Skin covering the Lord’s Countenance in this dream resembled that of a fetus of 20 weeks in his mother’s womb. I saw the Lord’s Features most profound in this appearance of Him and His Hair was parted in the middle.
Then, as I looked down at the ground I saw whom I knew in my spirit to be Mary of Magdala. Mary Magdalene was bowed down at the Master’s Feet. The Blessed One’s Feet was revealed to me quite vividly. Amen.
Friends, May you and your family delight in the Blessed Lord Jesus as we celebrate His Birth this Christmas.
Last week, I was honored to receive an invitation to join the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for The Mustard Seed Series: Working Together to End Involuntary Homelessness. It was certainly a surprise for me to see the host of this virtual event, a most humble man, Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
During the meeting, Secretary Ben Carson highlighted the mustard seed faith of Pastor Jake Medcalf of Castro Valley, California. In Pastor Jake’s presentation, he recounted the unexpected visit of a homeless man who had sought the help of the church during a rainstorm while he (Pastor Jake) worked in his church office. Later, after the man departed, thy Lord led Pastor Jake to walk around the land of the church property and guided him to use its parking lot to build temporary homes for the homeless. This encounter with the Lord would ultimately birth “The Tiny Project”! What an amazing testimony it was for me to hear that within 18 months through The Tiny Project the church secured builders to complete six lovely homes surrounding its sanctuary for the homeless.
The HUD reports that involuntary homelessness is a current crisis in the Body of Christ. It was quite startling for me to learn many believers have passed away before their time as a result of circumstances in their lives which tragically forced them to live outdoors.
I want to encourage the Body of Christ, leaders, in particular, to serve the homeless within your churches and ministries. Surely there must be more projects birthed within the Body such as The Tiny Project. We must do our part to help end homelessness with our brethren. Matthew 25:37-40.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2: 13-14
I most adore reading about the Birth of the King of Glory. In the Book of Luke 2:10-11, we read with such great enthusiasm the Angel bringing good tidings to the Wise Men: Christ the Lord was Born.
As the Wise Men journeyed to honor our Savior there appeared a glorious Sign from Heaven: The Lord’s Star shone brightly and followed them. When the Wise Men saw the Blessed One; Born most humbly in a manger they fell down and worshipped Him and presented unto Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
The Holy Scripture records during the time of the Birth of the Lord there was great warfare. Most notably, we read of King Herod who learned of a Baby Boy who had been Born a King. Herod inquired of His whereabouts to the Wise Men and was full of wroth at them for their mockery and withholding of where the Baby Jesus was hidden. This provoked King Herod to issue and carry out that certain Decree in Bethlehem in his attempt to destroy Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Matthew 2
There is great celestial activity surrounding a leader when he or she is born, the Lord’s ministries, and to those who are called to steward weighty assignments from Heaven. This Presence is ofttimes how the enemy initiates his plan to destroy ministries and assignments which are birthed in the Earth. In Job 1:7, we read one of the most profound revelations of satan’s ability to obtain information to destroy us. When Jehovah God asked satan, “Whence comest thou?” he answered: “To and fro in the Earth…” Dear ones, The Accuser presents his case with information from the Earth day and night in the Court of Heaven. Revelation 12:10
In the splendor and glory of this season of miracles, let us stay in the position of reverencing and obeying the Lord God. I want to encourage you to be fervent in prayer with your prophetic dreams. Be of great faith and wage warfare with the meaningful prophetic words thy Lord has given to you from His prophets. Remember that our foremother, Sarah waited for her promise and was 90-years-old when she gave birth to her son, Isaac.
Surely the One enthroned in Heaven shall laugh. Amen.

This past October, I came across a most glorious video on YouTube of our Risen Lord being exalted. The brief video revealed a recent time where a small group of White House staff had gathered in a certain room to worship thy Lord Jesus. As I fastened my eyes on the Lord’s Children while they praised Him I was moved with tears. Thereafter, I asked the Blessed Holy Spirit about the delighting of Jesus in the White House. I was in awe as I received His response in my heart: joy with a smile from the Lord that it was real. Our Beloved Lord Jesus was being exalted in the White House!
I am most grateful for the Blessed Lord God to grace me with a special dream days before Thanksgiving about the White House. In this dream, I was in a living room with a few of my relatives who remain living in my native, New York. Suddenly, I began to initiate a conversation with my relatives about the Presidential Election and the Trump Administration. There followed a somberness in the living room. Then, I continued our conversation with such excitement and said to my family: “They have praise parties in the White House!”
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Psalm33:12
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13
During the past week, the Blessed Holy Spirit has faithfully graced me with dreams showing that there will be a potential change in the major television networks.
In these dreams, thy Lord revealed powerful clues which included the timing of change occurring with at least two of the major networks.
The Lord also graced me with a vision. In this vision, He revealed what is to come:
I saw the person who will launch their own major television network. He was sitting on a television set with Oprah Winfrey.
One of the most pivotal moments which increased a great hunger for intercession happened to me nearly a decade ago when the Blessed Holy Spirit led me to a book on prayer and fasting. This small book catapulted me into a season of seeking our Lord in shut-in prayer. The book, rich in testimonials, recounted a story that ofttimes I have shared with staff and would like to share with you.
The leader testified of a most profound story of faith during a service whereby the Lord sent them to minister the Gospel. On the first night of the healing service, a blind elderly woman walked to the altar seeking prayer for a miracle of eyesight. Yet, she was still not able to see. For the next few nights, the elderly woman gently walked the path of faith into the Lord’s House seeking her eyes to be opened and each night she left the altar without her miracle. It was on the last night as she walked in those faith-filled shoes that the woman finally received a miracle. Our Blessed Healer was faithful to openeth her eyes! Matthew 11:5
Ofttimes while waiting on the Lord to answer our prayers; the enemy will attack our faith by subtly placing seeds of doubt in our thoughts. We must resist him and every word contrary to the Blessed Word of God. I encourage you to remember your authority and cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Lord Jesus. 2 Corinthians 10:5
Be faithful with your fellowship time with the Lord Jesus. Spend time with our Risen Lord reading the Scriptures to Him out-loud daily. In His Blessed Presence, you will be filled with such joy and confidence. I most cherish this special time with my Beloved, the Lamb of God.
Friends, if you are in the waiting area for healing and manifestation of the promises of thy Lord; I encourage you to read these scriptures daily to energize your faith.
9 Scriptures to Energize Your Faith

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

I pray the Father of Glory fulfill all your petitions. Amen.
