0:00 Hello and welcome to Diane Lake's podcast, Preparing the Way the Practical Prophetic. Our show teaches you how you can understand and apply the prophetic through practical terms, practical ways, and practical means that make it relevant to everyday life, so that you can prepare the way for the Lord's purpose to manifest in the earth. Welcome to the first Thursday morning session of the Prophetic Impact Tour, which was held April 26-29, 2023 in Missoula, Montana. In this episode, you'll hear from Alan and Diane Lake, co-founders of Starfire Ministries. The session topic features Al's testimony from his work in the Education Mountain, and Diane brings a message titled, Get Ready! The King of Glory is Riding in, Part 1.
0:48 Listen and be activated into the triple blessing. Let's get started. And so, without further ado, I just want to go ahead and roll into our first session today, and that is our hosts, Alan and Diane Lake, who are great friends of ours, and we got to stay with them in the beautiful Montana countryside, alright? We almost never returned. It was just like, you know, we can make this home, you know? I've come from a farm and I like nature, and I like the outdoors, so Montana fits me pretty well. But they lead in many ways over dating with us at Christian Earth National, and they've pioneered a lot of things in the marketplace and education rooms to bring change and influence there.
1:35 And you know what? We have to be involved, right? And those things that we're going on at the church with Bruce for a long time, in previous decades, and when that happened, ungodly things began to get set in place. But it's good timing, I think, that God is energizing His church to be involved. So I'm afraid you to be involved wherever you can be, and they certainly represent that. And Diane's an avid writer, alright? And so she writes a lot of things for the Elijah List, and also they're connected with Cindy Jacobs as well, and our regional leaders, I believe, in that realm for the several states. So I don't know what's on their hearts today, but I know they've been praying about this time for many years.
2:20 I do know that, alright? And probably five or six, we've been talking about times where we can partner with Bishop here to impact this area. And now is it, alright? This is the day, this is the time that God's ordained. So welcome them and say come today. I'm not sure who's going to go first. I don't know Diane or both, but I'm not sure who's going to go first. So welcome them and say come today. And I'm sure you're going to cost an awful lot of money to go to the house here. Well this is the real opportunity, this is great. I am amazed. The Lord gave me some testimony today, a lot of it's about healing.
3:02 Yeah, what happens? I would say maybe one of the people up here that need to be prayed over for healing. And it's already happened. That's amazing. Yeah, yeah. Sure. And Lord, we thank you for letting me know that you're going to have a release on the real prayer in Jesus' name. That we are healed. The work on the cross is finished. The world is the most. And Lord I thank you. I'm not exactly sure why, but Jesus impressed me that someone here with a back problem, a bad back, has been healed. So do not deny that healing as far as if you know it's healed, you've got to say it's healed.
3:49 So don't be like oh well maybe it's still partly, I just want to encourage you. You speak healing over your body. Okay, so I don't know, we're praying but I'm somehow prophesying to you. I got in a deep place of prayer not too long ago and out of my mouth came this word. I want to encourage you to do this. I found myself saying thank you Lord for your word to me. And I just said I will live in long and healthy life. The effects of aging are going to be reversed. And I said what do you think? I prophesied that over you.
4:29 And you need to do it towards me. Thank you Father. Thank you for connecting us to the Lord. Thank you for the power of the 10 that you're going to give us each and every session, each and every day. Please don't deny it to us. He shares the faith for this opportunity that you gave us. Interesting last night Gail was talking about windows of opportunity and doors of opportunity. That's exactly what happened to me about one year ago. We have a friend. He's on our board, Dan Lucia. He's been a football coach for probably 40 years. He's been successful state championships.
5:11 He's had the opportunity to go to different schools, different states and just turn around not only in football teams but in the entire community. He's a very outspoken Christian. So he's up from the Lord that he needed to. He had been retired a couple years and he felt the Lord wanted him to come back to French town, Montana, which is just a few miles away from here. Diana and I went to school there from K to, well we didn't have a K to go to. Our kids went to school there and he said, hey Alex, what would you think about being a coach?
5:59 I go, whoa, I've never, not even in a while's dream. So I prayed about it and the Lord said, yeah, do it. So he said, you know, I want to do something really different. I've had coaches, I've fired coaches. I want to do something to where we can produce character in these kids. We want to do, you know, we want to teach them football, all that. We want to really instill in them character, godly values. Yeah, let's go. So it was really fun, you know. Nowadays in any sports you see whether it's professional college or whatever, one of the things that you really see a lot of is trash talking.
6:52 Particularly in football, if you come up and you knock somebody on the ground, you stand over the top and when you talk to them, you know. So we talked to our kids and our kids watching on film last year, the previous year, they were trash talking. So he said, you know what, these are different things. Instead of when you knock somebody on the ground and trash talking, we're going to have you put your hand up and lift them up. So our kids, you know, it's cool. Our kids bought in. We had a preseason team camp in Dillon, Montana. We were green. Green coaches, I mean we hadn't had any practices. We took 40 kids down there and we just go, okay, god, what are we going to do?
7:43 We scratched up plays on napkins and the kids and you know, it was great. We had just a couple of stories. We had one kid who was a senior, great athlete, except he was injury prone. He said, yeah, I'm injury prone. I've never played a game in my life. I get hurt before the season starts. We told him, you are not injury prone. Take that name away from you. You are going to have a long season. It says, first couple of plays, he gets hurt. He gets a shoulder injury. And so Coach Gershwin, he goes, how do you like Coach Lane Cray over you? The kids said he's a Catholic kid.
8:38 He goes, oh god, yeah, I mean, I've never heard anything like that. So I just prayed over him. That's his father in the name of Jesus. We just speak to him over him. And he, I mean, he was devastated. He was crying and he went home and his mom had to come get him. But miraculously, he did not have a bedding. He was back in about two days. Couple of other opportunities we had. We had one kid who was ankle. I watched it. It took his shoe off. I watched it's bull job. It was a bad one. And I said, hey, can I pray over you? He goes, yeah, I guess. I said, I laid hands, prayed over him. I had to go do some more coaching for a vet and came back and figured, you know, we have to get the bedding over him.
9:34 He says, I'm good, Coach. Put your shoe back on. There's a minute. We're watching. Miraculous things happen. You know, another opportunity we had is that same camp. I get emotional when I talk about this and this. We had one of the kids named Eli. Eli was four foot eight and 85 pounds. Little pressure. I said, don't, you know, I didn't know how big he was. I was five, three, 105 pounds of pressure.
10:14 You know, you're going to be fine. He goes, Coach, I'm four, eight, 85. No problem. So we were, I had JD 18 and the Lord gave me to use a little safety wave in the backfield. He was afraid. You know, he didn't want to get busted up. I said, come on, you get in there, get in there and play. Get in there and play. And the Lord gave me this vision of him intercepting the past and making a touchdown. It was one of those really strong senses. So you got to go with it. So I went to the team. All our team was on the sidelines and he said, Eli is going to get a pick six.
11:05 Yeah, right, Coach. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Two plays later, Eli gets picked six. Kids you go coach. How'd you know that? So the thing that I kind of want to get across is that whatever if the Lord tells you to go into a position that you're totally uncomfortable with, if he's with you, just listen. Listen to what he wants you to do. You know, if you want you to lay hands on people, do it. If he gives you a prophetic word, a prophetic insight, speak it out. Because these kids are transformed. These kids, they have seen the difference.
12:03 I mean, we had parents come up to us a year and say, you have saved our kids. And they didn't know what saved them. It wasn't even your new house. I said, you have saved our kids. So I want to use that. I want to back up about quite a few years from that and talk about another opportunity we had for healing. It was about in 2012, I think. I was on the school board in French town at the time. And we just had the opportunity to get rid of Planned Parenthood in our physical education department.
12:50 Every few years we had a curriculum look over and we did. And so we said, well, why we have Planned Parenthood here? Well, that's how we always do it. And so, you know, they will look online and look at some of the things that they were doing. And it wasn't pretty good. So the Lord gave us the opportunity to get rid of women. And that was the great thing. We almost got released from the entire state. But we had a governor that beat it a little bit. But anyway, after that little month or two after that had gone on, we had a tragic accident in our state, in our city, or little town. It was hunting season. And a group of hunters had gone out.
13:44 There was four dads. They took a bunch of their kids and gone by the bill in Montana. They had two tents and they were hunting. They had a great time. And they found a dad that had four adults and one tent. The kids were all in another. Unfortunately, the adults were using a bad protein heater. They all got carbon monoxide poisoning. And the adults were pretty, were very close to death. And in the morning, kids woke up and they saw that their dads, or grandmothers and grandparents were kind of dead, basically. They were so close to death that they had lost all bodily functions. That's what happened.
14:31 When you die, somehow the kids got out. They got light flight in there. This was a Mormon group of people. They were being Mormon, church out in Frenchtown. So we got the word, I think I got an email from the school that this had happened. Diane and I, she was in town that day. I was by myself and I got the strongest sense from the Lord that we needed to have, that these guys were dead. They were basically dead. They were going to try to keep them alive and have the strongest sense from the Lord that you need to get together at the flagpole and pray for these guys.
15:20 In detail, he's done it. He's killed it in it, which is testimony. But to the Lord, set aside this Planned Parenthood opportunity, we had to unify everyone who stood for life and values and the things that mattered to us. So it was basically, the Lord said to me, his heart was so green for these children, these high schools that were being led astray. So that's why we did what we did. So in the process, we had to connect and unify the Catholics, the Mormons, anybody who would get on our team that would serve as the, almost a Lutheran's joint or not, they might have, the charismatic, we had them off.
16:00 So we were good friends with the Mormons now, right? So that set that up. So I had all the pastors on my phone, in the contacts, so I just got ahold of them and just said, hey, I want we all get together and pray at the flagpole and see if God's going to do him here. They never heard a lot of stuff like this. You know, it was all new to them. I'm just trying to get crazy. I couldn't get ahold of Diane. She was ministering to a girl here in town and it was about, I knew we had to do it tonight. And so I'm trying to get ahold of her and couldn't get it done.
16:40 And finally I just got ahold of the other, the other pastors in town and said, let's just do it. So I, you know, about four o'clock I let her know and she was, oh, yeah, it's at seven o'clock. And somehow it got on the nightly news that we're announcing that we're going to do this flagpole. Yeah, it was on the nightly news. So we're driving down there from our house and we're thinking, you know, we're going to have 10, 15 people. I don't know, you know. We get there, there's 300 people. Wow. Back around, we're going, okay. We have no mind. We have no nothing. No. Well, how are we going to pull this off, dear? So we go, you start praying and then I'll finish and whoever else wants to pray can do it.
17:29 Stand by the flagpole and you pray loud. I'll be loud. But in the meantime, we had the opposition on the school board who did not like us doing anything religious at the school. They were also there kind of tapping their foot like, no, what's going to happen here, you know. But we just went with it, you know, we pray. Kind of a funny thing, the opposing school board members were so touched. I went, what happened? She came up to me and she said, can I pray too? Oh, wow. You bet. So, you know, we had to be obedient to what, but it would be a good, not a good.
18:13 I mean, these guys, they took into dealing with the nurses and the doctors pretty much said there's nothing we could do. I think the way I heard it described, they were in like a 10% of brain function and it was near death. They did have a pulse. So they sent them to Salt Lake. They had some type of oxygen chambers type thing. Yeah, they had it there. So they left them there. But what happened, these guys were not only healed, they are 100% no brain damage. Wow. Hallelujah.
18:53 So, I guess I just want to encourage you guys that, you know, it says a couple of places in Corinthians and James. If someone sick, just like we were doing a bit a minute ago, if someone sick, be obedient, pray for them. A lot of times people don't get healed. We know that. I mean, there were guys on my football team that I prayed for healing and sometimes it doesn't happen. You know, we don't have all the success stories every certain time. I think what it does, I was trying to figure that out, I don't think any of us have really ever figured out why some get saved and some don't.
19:39 But the act of being obedient to pray over someone, when you've got kids looking and seeing what's going on, it gives them the opportunity later in life to think, I can do that. You know, for the entire community of French town, knowing what happened because people prayed. So we just need to be obedient. We just need to let God do His thing, I think. And, yeah. That's an awesome testimony. The thing about testimony, of course, and if you study the Hebrew, you realize that the roots of the meaning of testimony is that it sets it up to happen again.
20:30 It serves up that and of this awareness. You know, I think it's just three quarters or something. It's like, here we go, God let's do it again. So it's such a privilege to be here and to be able to share. So we're, of course, originally from Zola, so you're going to know this. Maybe you know it, so this will be new news for you. We have roots we were born and raised here in Zola area. We have roots four and five generations back and five values. So all of a sudden we're up and moving to Helena. We're over there now. We were there about six weeks ago. So I'm going to fill in on some of that.
21:10 But just by way of introduction, you might not know my testimony. I just want to give you a little bit of insight into how I got to where I am today. So I was saved about 10 years old in a very conservative, imaginable kind of atmosphere. So salvation was taught and such a wonderful thing to receive from them, but there were no tools past that. You never heard about being emotional, healing or ungodly mindset, sort of generational curses. And in fact, I could point to the way, I knew the Bible very well. I did. And I could point me to the verses that would say, well, there is no generational curses.
21:52 I knew the word. And so things go along until about 2004 and at that point very good shape. So we have about 30, 40s, let's say, and I've got three kids. The youngest might have been about eight or something at that time. And so we're saved, but I've got so much to age that my mom and brothers were killed in a tragic accident when I was a teenager. And just different things happened. And, you know, how do I get free this? I don't know how. So as it happens, all of our kids are adopted before.
22:32 And that's not something I normally would point out or say, but it matters for this story. To me, it doesn't matter. You know, they're adopted is the same. But our daughter, our middle child, she, something was wrong from the very beginning. Her and I just were kind of like boiled water. From the minute we picked her up and Seattle at the airport, she would cry and cry and cry. In fact, I think that first before we started heading home, I later on the hotel bed and just made sure she had poles around her since she couldn't fall up and let her cry or sleep. She was exhausted and all this from having traveled.
23:12 But it's like, it's just always seemed like whatever I did with her was wrong and that did not get any better. So here she is, about 12 years old, I'm going to say by that time. I don't think anybody really knows how bad it was. It's like, there seemed to be something in her that made me feel like such a failure as a mother because I would watch her interact with my husband and with other people. She always wanted to be somewhere. It's never around me, never at home. It's not the one that's going to cry when you drop a brush in kindergarten or something. I feel like glad to see her in a good mom. So you know, you get internalized, I guess, is what I did.
23:55 And I just, this is honest truth. I had, I've probably told you this. I'm like, when I die, you want to know what you can put on my headstone? She tried. She tried to piss me off. You know, I just felt like my family would be better off without me. This is all either truth. So I was at a point at some stage, suicide. I was. And who would know? He's on the school board of Christian school, you know, or looked at as leaders and I'm a wreck. I'm a living wreck. And we get connected with a powerful woman of God who understands, oh, I think there's a generational curse at work here.
24:39 Why don't we see if we can get together if she's willing? Because my Holy Ghost to me, if he's speaking tongues or your Holy Ghost filled, you're often to error. You know, that's what I was raised with. So she was very cautious. Come to find out my daughter carried a generational curse long and deep of hatred from daughters to mothers. And there were reasons because of this treatment. So I guess, well, I was the target. And when my daughter was prayed for by this powerful woman of God and a team of other sisters who took her to her sister's room, she was on the deep of the sea. It turned our lives around.
25:21 And at that point, I knew I had a decision. I liked that I could say thank you, God, and I could just carry on. It's going to be better if the boss would be in it. Or I can say, my gosh, you gave me another chance. I'm not wasted. And that's why I do what I do. I don't even have a son, or they never had, and I don't care. I only have one more shot, you know? He gave me a second chance. So I'm giving you a lot of testimony here. So I want to tell you that I do have a couple of books back there. So this one is the one that has the testimony story.
26:01 And Terry, would you like this book? My new boyfriend. And we needed more seats in the front, and I asked her to move. And she graciously did that. So now the friend. So in the second book, in fact, there is a call to signal from God. Now this book, out of that tension in the spirit, you know when it says in 2 Peter 312 that we should be looking for a paceming today? Have you ever puzzled about that? Because God knows the day and the time and the hour. So what is this bit about paceming today? Well, it's a feel-get in your position, in the army, in the army of God.
26:45 And do your part. He can get it all wrapped up sooner. He doesn't choose to do it without us, right? So there's a lot in there that has that flavor in it. So the canoed sons that I say, right, do you have this book? Can you take this short gift if you would please? Alright, so that's going to be an introduction. And just one more little bit of testimony. I never knew that the Lord could speak. I think the key for me was I never experienced the presence or power of God. Not once, even after being saved for 32 years. And I was about to the point of death. I think I can't live without that. Somehow my spirit knew I can't survive.
27:27 And I didn't know why. So the Lord did something in me. I was suffering from such an overbearing spirit of withdrawal that I couldn't speak to anyone almost. We were in a small circle. She knows me from that other life. I was a different person. Let's say you had 10 or 12 people in a circle. They said, would you please say your name and where you're from? If you don't even know, stand up. I could not do it. My voice would tremble and shake. I would clover. It was demonic. And I was not even spirit-filled. We'd only gotten connected with this woman, Karen, for a couple weeks, if that. No, maybe it was midnight after she prayed for Lanna.
28:08 I was laying in bed and something started happening. I'm like, I don't know what's going on. I feel like I'm kind of suspended. At first it seemed like I saw evil images or something, and then something changed. I'm like, I don't know what's going on. So all I did was keep reciting John 3.16. That's all I could figure out what to do. I didn't know. I didn't know anything. And I got up to use the bathroom after about 10 minutes, because it felt like, OK, something's done. And so the first time I ripped the words for it, and he said, it's withdrawal. And I was like, aha! That's what that was. And it's gone. Sure enough, nobody did anything. Nobody let me hand it on me. I'm like, how could I come into my new purpose in the Lord?
28:51 I couldn't even open my mouth, and I drove it, and now I can't show it up. You cannot get me stopped on me. So anyway, that's my testimony. So I cannot live without that prophetic voice of the Lord. Obviously, the word of God is our standard, and we can never depart from it. There's something, what do you do as a saint, John 6, my words are so good. They're not just eternal life. They're meant to give us real life here on earth. Otherwise, we'll just walk around like, I don't know, like bagel bones or something. There's no purpose by my name. So, there's a title of my message, and there's going to be a part one and a part two.
29:31 I learned a little bit late in the game that we're going to do two sessions. I had already prepared one message, but it was okay because I had too much material anyway, so I'm going to split it up. Hopefully, the right place, so that it kind of evens out at the time. So, my message in part one and part two is get ready. The King of Glory is writing it. So, you're going to have to come back tomorrow so that you hear the sequel because you're only going to get the teaser today. So, I want to tell you that I believe we are living in a spirit, a season of fulfillment like I have never quite seen.
30:17 And so, by the way, if you're taking notes for, I think you hear me say something but you didn't catch it or I don't read scripture, almost everything I'm saying is either in a podcast episode or an article form from today anyway. Our website is www.starclientministries.org and we've got a search bar. So, what my experience is is that prayers are being answered and promises so filled so quickly right now that it's almost like you can't keep up. That's the season that I personally am in. So, it's going to be the scripture Amos 9.13. So, in the message you might already have heard in this version, it says yes indeed, it won't be long now since God's decree.
31:04 Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim. One thing fasts upon the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once and everywhere you look blessings. Blessings by flying, pouring off the mountains and hills. So, I'm telling you, I'm experiencing this. Usually as we are called to prepare the way that is our calling is the name of my podcast. So, we might be ahead of the curve on what we're experiencing that don't mistake because you're not there yet, it's come. So, you better get ready and expect it. So, I'm going to share a dream with you that I had, and this was probably, I'm going to say maybe last December because I have to go back a little bit to pick up this thread.
31:50 This is all going to relate to the move and everything else that we're doing for you. So, I had a dream in which there were three beautiful orchid plants and each ended up producing one large and remarkably sized large, beautiful bloom all on the same day. So, the setting was like I was invited to someone else's house and yet in some strange sense it kind of felt like I had some ownership in this house as well. In particular, it seemed like I had some ownership or stake in these three orchid plants that I was taken to view. Somehow it seemed like I was responsible for them or my own that perhaps there's anything.
32:33 So, you know, not so it's not clear in dreams what that means, but the point being that incredibly one by one these orchids all bloom at the same time on the same day. And the other part of the dream ended was that each bloom had an overwhelming fragrance. I remember in the dream saying, is this what heaven smells like? And then I woke up and I was so surprised that it wasn't real. You're not a dream like that. I was living that experience. So, I was like, wow, you know, that's one of those dreams you want to conquer before the Lord can see what he will show you. So, the scripture that the Lord brought to mind, if I pray and meditate about this dream, was Jeremiah 1 and 11 and 12.
33:20 In the Amplified it says, the word of the Lord came to me saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And he said, I see the branch of an almond tree. Then the Lord said to me, you have seen well, for I am actively watching over my word to fulfill it. Now, previous to this dream, I had been hearing the Lord repeatedly say, we are in a season of fulfillment. So, here comes this dream after that. So, I feel like I don't have enough background with this really saying in this verse. So, I checked some commentary sources. So, the one that I found out the best explanation, the explanation is that the poetry of the symbols used in this passage is much beyond just the, you know, what you can get out of the English.
34:11 There's a beauty behind it. It's as if this almond bell, which Jeremiah received, represents hope. The peat blossoms, the leaves. It's spoken of an early spring, which by the way is not what we've been having around here, right? Which is over. There's hope. And the name of the almond tree, the poetical name is used here, not the common. There would have been another choice that the writer could have used. It was in the future, but it is called the mantra. Isn't that interesting?
34:51 It's hastening to awake that tree, to watch it over until you get up. And though, you know, you kind of have a hard time grasping this, it's speaking of divine haste to break the delay so that still fulfillment of his promises will manage us to be in your life in bare fruit. Did you catch that? That's what it was. Right. That's thinking and just... So in other words, your words and your promises and your prophetic picture that's been in your mind, I'm going to keep talking about that. You've sometimes, I like to say that it seems to me that God has not caught up with technology.
35:36 You remember when you used to have to use film, and I would like, oh, of course. Remember, there was one thing there might be one on the roll that didn't have somebody's ice cross or whatever. Well, I think he still uses a little bit of film, and you've got to wait for it to develop. And what is this picture even about? You know, it's like it's all dark and it's cloudy and you can't see a dark thing. Well, you know, so I am experiencing that years and years and years of what seemed like unfulfillment or things not lining up the way I thought they should, were a great big picture of God positioning me and moving me forward so that I would be in agreement with his plans and these things were just moving me into that position.
36:24 And all the time I thought, well, what's happening? I mean, you keep declaring your words and you keep writing them, right? But you're like, yeah, wonders sometimes, don't you? Did I get that right? Did the person who brought it say I didn't get that right? You know, we were just too late. So as far as the three walks in, this is what I felt like the Lord showed me. At first, this was the first interpretation because I got a little bit more later. I'll put it all to you in one summary though. Three, you see in scripture, typically represents something that is complete, perfect or whole. We think of the Trinity, of course, as being an example of that. And the fact that the blooms all appear in almost the same day at the same time, symbolizes that we are in a day or a season for our presiding promises to be fulfilled.
37:12 Now, a box says a day is not 24 hours. We know that, right? Otherwise, yeah, you know the scriptures. Anybody who confused with thousands of years of the day, they're all like, hey, you know, got it. But a little bit of time had passed and then I realized that another very significant reason that he let the Lord have three organ plants in his stream was that they represent triple increase. So I want to talk to you about that and why I came to believe that. So the biggest instance of fulfillment for me in the last couple months brings my institution to an ongoing injustice that has been perpetuated in my family for many generations.
38:03 On both sides of my family, my grandparents were farmers and ranchers. They had large buildings of land and property. And yeah, time and again, my family, my parents, myself, were bypassed in Indian heritage of this property. And not only that, did I have any opportunity to buy when we would ask, is there some way we can purchase some of this property? Because there's been some deep-seated desire in me since I was a kid to preserve this heritage and this land. I don't want to develop it, no, we want to steward it, we want to do weed control, we want to maintain fences, we want to...
38:43 I think of God as a desire that's in me. So in particular, there's a 1500 acre parcel, about two and a half sections. And we were able to take fans and Debbie in there and show them where the old house is, that is still for sale. And if you want. So that was a grazing land for one of my grandfathers, my maternal grandfather. He had a farm in Ransford, he needed some of our pasture for them. So they would truck him up on the screen and we would do a cattle drive in the fall. I got to do cattle drives when I was a teenager. We would drive them down past the airport, on horseback and all that thing, take them in the back, entry of the park, cross a couple channels.
39:24 I mean, maybe that's why I never got here to like, have a wife, jeez. I can't hear it to me. So that really hurt, because that particular parcel meant so much to us. And it kept shrinking, like there was betrayal after betrayal. We were not in our grandparent's will and now my aunt isn't really handling things that she should. Now our cousins are selling the property and never told us that they were. And, you know, we never got the opportunity. And we would get work once in a while. In 2017 or 2019 or something, we were in California, got canyons gathering.
40:07 And I think you might have heard me share this, but one of the CI ministers walked up to me. It's probably one of these activations. And she was so much along. And she just like, come off the cuff. So Lawrence says, there's a particular piece of property you want and you think it's too late. But he says, I've been in reserve for you. And she had no idea what she said. I started to tear up and my mouth was dropped. And that wasn't even the worst of that. It kept getting to the point, like a year ago in August, we went to Spokane to Laura and Roy's meeting there. And then Vance was sitting on the front row and once day and night and he called us over and always said to us, the Lord says to tell you the land is coming.
40:59 And his house went, go on by the way, he kind of, a bit latched her. And we're like, oh dear, it's not good. It was like the last shred of hope had died that we would ever recover that land. And the interesting part is that was actually one of my children, my daughter who had said, there was some heartbreaking things that happened towards the end and he didn't involve my siblings. You know, you're the one core group of people you think has your back kind of thing. It was so hard for us. But you know what happened? I think I said to Vance that day, I said, you know, we're starting to wonder if this is not the land the Lord has in mind. He keeps telling us the land is coming.
41:41 I don't think it's this land. The land that I thought was the land in every prophetic promise. We're like, yeah, I wonder if he's one that's to look for property in other places. And my daughter said to us somewhere around this time, she says, you know, I mean she knows we've done everything to break curses and you know, we've got all the big, big tools and tracks because we belong to prophetic intercessory groups and generals in her national and CI and all this would be done, everything we need to do. She says, I think that ground is cursed. Why don't you just go buy your ranch somewhere? I'm like, well, I can't wait. That's the place on this house. I was like, you know, you know, kind of muttering to myself.
42:22 I thought they were going to carry me out of this house in the pine blocks. Well, it wasn't very long before we started looking for property. But the problem was it was all expensive. You know, prices were spiking with coronavirus all the land was sky high price and anything that you did look at, you could afford it. It wasn't as much property as you want. There was always something wrong with it. And then now you're in the booties somewhere in your three miles from an airport. This is never going to work. And we had a figure in our mind who was praying we could get maybe a minute on 300 acres. And then what you're going to do after that, if there's no house on it and we have a huge house and we've got all these out there. How is this going to work?
43:03 Well, a long time ago in last November, we see a listing and it's not supposed to be an email. We asked, and we're like, holy cow, did I see that right? So it was this small ranch for 115 acres about 10 miles outside of Helena. It had 367 additional VLN, crazily police acres attached to it. It had a house on it, a shop, outbuildings, an old block, homes, that structure. If you had my wish list to the Lord or somebody asking, what would your dream property look like? I'd say, would there be an old block structure? There's something about the history of Montana that really speaks to me and we want to reserve that in honor of him.
43:48 It's private, it's included, like you cannot believe that it's only 10 minutes from town. We're about 10 miles up from here. Another five minutes to the Helena airport. In a place in which it's not just a property or a dream, we never need to dream for that. It went to a sale sale and a couple of price reductions before we ever saw it. We couldn't have even thought about affording it before that. So after we went under contract, there was something that had started niggling at my brain. It just couldn't quite shake the thought. So I had to think, I had to stop and make myself think this story.
44:28 Because the question kept coming to my head, how much age would my husband and I have if we would have inherited that piece that we should have inherited of that 1,500-acre parcel that meant so much to me? How much would we have? So I did the math. My grandparents had three children. One was my mom who died when I was a teenager. So each of them, her and my uncle would have each received 500 acres. My mom's portion would have been split by the ways because I had four siblings. So the total that I would have actually received would be 100 acres. And we already owe 15.69 by another means.
45:09 Then, and only then did I remember that I'd written an article in April of 2019, which went quite a ways. I think Charisma put it on, I think Elijah put it on. I wrote it and I should talk about it. And the Lord told me to expect triple in-cruits. Oh, yes. So the range we bought is 315 acres. If you multiply the 100 acres, we should have inherited by 3. It equals 300. Then if you add 15.69, then we already owe, you get 315. Does that not just like 2 acres?
45:52 So we had a prayer call with the RPN team. We've got some RPN members with us. My good friend, your friend Ard, Sheryl. Ard is from Wyoming. Sheryl is from Panama. Of course, K-B-Late is also an RPN in East Missouri. We have a monthly call for a prayer network conference call. And I had the opportunity to share that story with Simi. And she began to prophesy on the phone to anyone on there, grab the triple, grab the triple, grab onto triple in-cruits. So I'll challenge you to do that today.
46:32 So I'll come back to that in a minute. I want to see other prophecies fulfilled that I have written. That's what I'm saying, one after the other. In 2022, my work for the year is called the front door to the noon. And then that, I wrote that the things that you lost in the past season would be replaced with something better than you ever had before. Now, trust me, I didn't just... What would you say? I didn't just ask the cuffs to make that statement and write that. I'm going to talk about this more in different times. I found that with us, in particular, since we have to live the word before I get to release it, we just started releasing things.
47:15 I can't even... I can't remember, it started out with our age back crass. It's a geothermal system. I think we put 25,000 in it before it was up and running and it took 18 months. So we're... It's July, we're meeting in two sordials in the morning. it's July, we're meeting in two story house, you have no AC, okay? And then this winter, we have no heat, you know? So you lose our age back, we lose our footage, we're refrigerator, we lose our clock. Water heater, his brother dies in a freak accident. The thing happens with the land and my family. He gets in a wreck, it's not a fault, truck gets crushed. I'm sure that's not all of it. This, I'm talking about maybe a six weeks fan, or maybe less.
47:58 And you know, you think, okay, well, this is a spiritual attack, right? We better just war and whatever, but you know, it's a real word of wisdom sometimes to be like, well here's what the enemy wants to do, it wasn't. You know, I looked at the warrant, I went, what are you doing? And then I began to see a pattern. Every time something died or broke, or was taken away from us, it was replaced with something better than mutual. So I began to press into that. That's why I love that story that Gail was talking about. Dr. Loeb would like to issue a, but I use that in fact in that book. That's all I hardly ever talk about. It's like you gotta press something, you gotta press. To me that means you will not be denied.
48:40 I have a word and I'm not letting go. I have a key and I'm not letting go, right? So I began to press into that word. But I did say to the Lord, I'd like to see you talk the land we have. You know, the seclusion, the privacy. Not, not, not, not, I'm not supposed to respect, but I'm like, how is the Lord gonna pull this off? And I, I'm gonna admit, I, I had my doubts, like, the plan advanced from this idea. It's not looking good. So the Lord had given me for 2023, Isaiah 61. So the chapter after the Gail was talking about.
49:20 And so we all know that chapter probably, it says in verse two, it's an acceptable year of the Lord. It's the chapter of divine exchange. It's just saying we get His beauty for our ashes. You know, we get the oil of joy instead of mourning, barmen appraises, and the spirit of happiness. But there's some interesting verses in there because what the Lord told me was like 2023 will be a year of divine favor, justice, restitution, this part will go to me. A year for a land in inheritance and property to be restored. A year to recover and reestablish generational blessing, even if it takes pulling those stakes and moving to a new location in order to do it.
50:05 We have to just physically move off that ground. And we are doing this, yes, for ourselves, and yes for the kingdom, that's gonna be more part two tomorrow. We'll change the Lord might be doing. Oh, generations mad at God. Let's not say I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You see generations of inheritance who do not matter to him. And I had to learn that and talk about that in that first book. I didn't understand that it was unjust. I was just like, well, you gotta bump up, let her tell. Because they left you out of the, but seriously, they left you out of the will, oh, okay, oh, don't do your own thing. And it's like whatever. That's how my mindset kind of was and that is not what God's mindset is.
50:49 And you are left out of inheritance, that's not okay. So let me say verse four of this chapter 61 and nine. Say this, and they shall rebuild the old rule and say shall raise up the former desolations. They shall repair the ruined generations the desolation of many generations. Verse nine, their descendants shall be known on the Jehovah's, their offspring around among the people. They will see them and acknowledge them that they are on the posterity, whom the Lord has blessed. You see what he did right there? He said, I'm gonna flip that generation first. Remember the first to go to the thousand years, still thousand generations.
51:30 The question goes, thousand generations, the first to go to two, three. I haven't read that section in a long time. It's like now all of a sudden, the generations are not first. In verse nine it says, everyone's gonna look at that gently and say, those are our people blessed by the Lord. Do not think that's, that was flipped. Right, so even our own move is tied into that. So verse seven says, instead of your shame, you shall have double honor. Instead of confusion, they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore, in their land they shall possess double. Everlasting joy shall be theirs. The divine exchange. Now, I know that this receives a double.
52:11 I know that it's a graph, it's called nine it's the use of double. But I was scratching my head. I'm like, I've heard bishops say, you know, you can have a prophetic word, but you better have a spiritual to back it up, right? There needs to be a principle at least in the words. I'm like, where would you get some sort of foundation for the triple blessing? And what I felt like the Lord gave me was numbers 24. So you know the story. It's Balaam and Balaam. And Balaam, the text, higher Balaam to curse the kingdom low out of the mighty nice as your enemies would curse them. So he's going to do it. And every time he opens his mouth, what happens?
52:52 Blessed and thumbs out instead. So finally, Balaam has cut it. He's like, what on earth are you doing? At every time you're supposed to curse these people, you bound to flee blessed them. You've done that three times. So what I felt like the Lord illustrated to me was, well, who's the author of all this stealing? And I think it was John 1010, tell you when you're in irritance, it doesn't come to you. When your health is stolen from you, when there's some relationships that are broken, who's doing that? It's the enemy. And in that ascents these person, and God's like, I think I'm going to do something different.
53:32 I think I'm going to bless you instead. So that's the foundation of the triple blessing that he gave me. So I think time-wise, we're going to kind of break that and save the King of Glory parts for tomorrow. And we're kind of on schedule. But before we close, I just want to say, you remember how Cindy prophesied over that phone call? Grab the triple. My sense is, it's not going to last long in your lap. You've got to buy a sage, grab ahold of it. You've got to want it. You've got to press in.
54:14 It's like, sage does not operate in the Lord, right? There's this push to hold. God's like, you call on me, I will answer. You want the triple. I'll give it to you. Is that what I'm saying? It's like, sometimes we say to ourselves in this season, let it not be because we did not ask. And I have had that stick in my brain. Because sometimes you're doing life, and there's some trivial little detail. And you're like, my mom used to say this, cotton picket. I can't get this thing to work. I can't get that kit. And all of a sudden, I'm just like, did I ask the Lord? And so then, I'll just do the quick drill prayer and buy one.
54:57 There's the thing. There's what I needed. It's like, I think more than any other season sense that don't let it be because you didn't ask. Because you actually forgot. Yes, he knows what you need before you pray. You know that. But he wants to interact. Faith does not operate in him. So I think that's really a powerful tool in your arsenal. So let's just close by Lord Emon the triple. I'll probably run the triple. And we don't want it to start just raising. Yes, your blessing, Alan Eilish's French.
55:38 Yes, your blessing, my family. But we're going to talk tomorrow about some of what we think the kingdom, how the kingdom is going to benefit. Why would you want us to move? What's the purpose? And the point, we only have a little piece of the picture. But you know what? Everything moved us. Every one of those hearts just moved us through the Lord. Just ask me to do something. If you have been betrayed, in fact, if you want to stand up, this is up to you. I'm not going to force you to do the only thing. I feel like betrayal is so tricky and so sticky. Because the story of Joseph has come alive to me like in another.
56:20 I think you know the story. But when he gets to the last chapter in Genesis and chapter 50, that he's broken with compassion. He's leaving. This seems that Jesus does in you as he breaks you. Even the betrayals, they're for intent, right? And it's not lost on me that Joseph was betrayed by his family and by his brothers and sisters. But maybe it's a ministry betrayal. Maybe it's a close friend. Maybe it's, you know, there's some spiritual connotation. You know, betrayal comes in all forms and packages. And would you just release that to the Lord and say, Lord, just like Joseph, I trust you.
57:07 I trust you, Lord, that even though they meant it for harm, you meant it for good. And even if it takes decades for me to see the picture, I understand that you are positioning me strategically and moving me into a place just as Joseph grows up for the famine. And I'm going to talk about this tomorrow. You all know there could be some hard times ahead, right? We've got to be mature believers. There might be a famine coming. What are you going to do, candidate? Have you allowed the Lord to position you? Don't let betrayal hold you back. Let Jesus take that off of you.
57:47 Because it will hold you back. If Joseph had not gotten past that, do you see God put a position in that strategic place and used him? No. So we release all spirits of the trial Lord, wash this clean, give us the sense even of a physical weight removed from our shoulders in Jesus' name. And we reach up that veil and spin, and we bolt into the trial. By faith in Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Thank you for listening to Preparing the Way and Practical Prefect.
