I am one blessed mama to be given the privilege to see my oldest (Will) growing in His relationship with the Lord. I am not a perfect parent and don't claim to be. I always pray that God will help me in the areas I need help in when parenting my children and I tend to doubt myself a lot but when moments like these happen it reminds me of just how faithful our God is and that we serve a good good Father that we can trust Him especially even in the areas where I may lack and to know that they are in good hands and that He has them. We worshipped all the way to church this morning and he (Will) was the one that led it even if it was in the car. There have been times where I would lack in faith but my children did not and they would speak life right back into me when it was needed. I am so thankful for my boys and I look forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for them but more importantly how much they will have an impact on the world and those around them for the Kingdom #blessed #beautifulreminders

I was standing, as a child, in a garden that had a cut pathway. Up ahead on the pathway I could see Jesus but his back was turned to me as He was tending to the flowers in the garden but He knew I was there. He turned around as quickly as I saw Him He faced me and opened His arms with the biggest smile. We exchanged conversation without saying a physical word. I took off running in excitement to see my Abba! As I ran to Him down the pathway I grew from being a child to an adult and He rapped His arms around me. I was home again. It was the best feeling in the world. He reminded me who I was. I am His!

As we close the door to 2023 and prepare to step over the threshold into 2024 I feel led to tell everyone to get ready. We are about to go into something we've never experienced before in previous years. 2024 will be a turbulent year for many. One filled with acceleration and anticipation. Jesus is on the threshing floor. He is preparing His bride. What we will experience individually will have a lot to do with how we have positioned ourselves in the previous year(s). Knowing the Father's heart and being able to hear His voice will matter tremendously. We are about to come into a time of chaos but He will be the peace in the chaos. It will be a time of the good mixed in with the bad. The spirit of religion won't stand. He will tear down all of the idols in each person's life and anything that was not built by Him will not be left standing. If it can be shaken it will be shaken. For those who are rooted in Him, seeking Him, established on the Rock, and who have learned how to rest IN Him will not be shaken and will not be moved by the dismantling. The remnant will shine with a light so bright that it can't and won't be hidden. Make no mistake about it He will pour out heaven's treasures that have been stored up for His children for such a time as this to help them in the midst of what is to come. I sat the last 2 days and have cried feeling an overwhelming sense of love the Father has for His children and yet grieving for everyone at the same time for what is to come. Some will come back to the fold while others will continue to reject Him following in their own ways.

I am standing when a door appears in front of me. It is white and has a golden knob. I look down and there is a bright light shining beneath its frame. The rays coming out reminded me of a rich sunset. This door looked brand new with a fresh coat of paint. There were no fingerprints upon it yet. I felt drawn to it. When I turned to look behind me I saw another door. Only this door had looked worn. The paint was chipped and the doorknob had begun to rust. This door was left cracked open. I peeked inside. Inside, I saw pieces of the past that pertained to the church. I saw old movements and revivals that had been marked in history. I saw planned programs and traditions within the church, and ministries that had been around for a while. I saw the church in worship, praying, and pastors preaching. I saw children's in children's ministry, and I saw people celebrating the seasonal holidays. But as I stood watching, I had become lethargic and was fighting to keep my eyes open. I noticed a shadow began to appear underneath and around this door frame like there was no light to be found in the room. I turned back around to look at the other door. As I turned to face the new door I heard Father God say, "I will let you open this door if you choose to close the other door behind you and don't go back to reopen it. Behind this new door you will see and experience things that have not yet been recorded and that man has not yet seen. Inside you will hear a new sound that I have released and there is a fresh wind being poured in straight from heaven. Things will be unplanned and spontaneous. My Glory will fill every corner. It is a place I have gone before you and that I have prepared to send you for such a time as this. Don't allow the unfamiliarity to cause you to run back to the old door. Even though my flesh grieved the closing of the old door I slowly reached the rusted knob, and I closed it shut. I turned around and placed my hand upon the golden knob leaving fresh fingerprints as I opened the new door. When I opened the door I felt a wind come pouring out of it and it was blowing all around me. I went from lethargic to being fully awake and excited. Everything was new. New assignments, new plans, fresh blueprints, new worship, new ministries, new alignments, new celebrations, new tactics, new equipping, new wine, and new wineskins. As I began to step inside the door I knew God was carrying me into the new. What was is no more. A whole new season and a whole new era is here. I took a deep breath and stepped over the threshold. The old is gone, the new is here!

I close my eyes and all I can see is Jesus in the distance walking towards me with his hand reached out. Waves are violently crashing all around me and dark clouds have formed as the winds become turbulent almost blowing me over but when I look at Jesus I can't help but notice how calm He is. He has this huge smile upon His face. He is at peace. He is steady. The winds around Him are calm and the waters below Him are so still. The harder I try to get to Him the more the wind begins to pick up and the more violent the waves become beneath me and around me. But I'm determined. With every step I take towards Him I begin to slowly sink into the water but I'm determined. So I keep pushing forward. I notice the harder I try the further I seem to be from reaching Him. But I keep my eyes on Him and as I sink a little further and drudge on through I feel like the weight of the water that's gotten on my clothes has begun to weigh me down further making it even harder to stay above the waves but I keep pushing forward. By now I feel like I have been trying to reach Him for what seems like hours now and in the process I have become wore out and tired. I begin to slow down my steps. I look forward and I can see Him in the distance, still with the same demeanor as before. He is unfazed and still at Peace. His hand is still reached out for me with that same big smile on His face. I am determined. " I'm coming Lord! ", I yell. But the waves are getting stronger and stronger and the winds begin to be almost unbearable. By now I am give out. I begin to weep because all I wanted was to reach my Savior. By now hopelessness, doubt, and discouragement begins to set in. I then lose my footing. As I'm fighting to keep my head above the waves I finally decide to just let Go. I close my eyes and say I love you Lord and i slowly begin to slip beneath the water. When suddenly I look up to see a hand reach down to grab a hold of mine. It's Jesus! He lifts me up above the waves and on top of the water. The wind is now completely still. As I look out further I can still see the storm going on but where we stood there was such a stillness. In fact we were standing right in the middle of the storm. My clothes were dry. Where I felt so weighted down I now felt so light. I said," Lord what happened? I was sinking and you were so far away!" He said, "my beloved all you needed to be was still. The enemy made you think I was so far away from you and that the journey was just too long to make when the truth was it was just an illusion. You see I was right beside you this whole time and you were already right where you were supposed to be. He made you tired and wore out so you would give up and give in. It wasn't until you surrendered that I reached down to pull you back up. My child if you just keep your eyes on me, trust that even when things around you seems so difficult, so uncertain, so unsteady, or even falling apart that I am right here with you being your peace, being your protection, being your provision, being your strength, and I will not let you sink. Remember it's not always what it seems." I said, Yes Lord! He said, "take my hand and don't let go. Even in moments where you can no longer see me but can only just hear my voice. I will never leave you." I said, " I trust you Lord." Then He began to walk through the storm, only this time He had a hold of my hand, and we were walking through it together. 

Take us higher Lord, above the distraction and the noise and let us keep our eyes on You! Amen! This month is a month of unlocking and birthing in the spirit what God put inside of you. New doors will be opened for many that they didn't have access to previously. This past weekend the Lord sent me to Warrior AL. to hear Abner Suarez (who is a blessing and a very anointed man of God) and it was there that I received an unlocking, confirmation, to break some things off of me, and to receive what I believe was a deeper anointing to be brought back home with me. As well as making divine connections with other brothers and sisters in Christ. It was during this service that I saw in the spirit two ladders that came down from heaven. And as I watched I saw angels going up and down the ladder passing to each other buckets that were slam full of keys very similar to what is pictured below only they were of pure gold, and they were bringing them down from heaven to earth. They would pass the buckets down and then the angels in front of the altar would poor them all out and some were even throwing them out to us in the congregation. This lasted for a few minutes as Abner talked. I heard in my spirit the Lord say it is this day that I am opening new doors of Revelation and a deeper wisdom to my bride. I am unlocking new doors for my children. I saw a large scroll that came down and opened and I saw two angels carry a large feather pen and they began to write on the scroll as in recording that day to be marked in heaven. I did not see what was written. Once it was done it rolled back up and went back up into the heavens. One Angel before service held a large heart that was covered in a flame ❤🔥. I knew this was in representation of the Father's heart. Then Abner spoke on the Father's heart, the unlocking, and the doors that were being opened. The revelation that was coming forth. The presence of God was so strong. I have never seen or heard as much in the spirit as I did last weekend. It was the first time I had ever felt a hand that was physically layed upon my back that at first I thought it was just my shirt bunched up or that someone had literally put their hand on my back but no one was there. I would feel it periodically throughout the rest of the service and especially when we were upfront. There is no way to explain it. I have not felt it again after Sunday night. I also know that this was being done in other places, states, and around the world. I share all this to say that I pray many of you will become so unsatisfied with just scratching the surface that you will allow God to take you deeper and higher on this journey with Him in this season. That you will receive these keys He is making available to you right now and walk through these doors He has unlocked so heaven can meet earth where you will step into your calling and be like John The Baptist and help pave the way of the Lord. As my pastor always says" The Best Is Yet To Come!" Don't miss out on what God is doing right now! Amen 🙌 ❤ 🕊🦅🗝🔥

Last night at church when we went to the throne room to pray, I just sat and listened to all the petitions going up. Petitions for our families, our nation, the coming harvest, revival, for our children, and for our church and many more. Sounds of our Pastor and other intercessors in our church pouring their heart out and weeping before the Lord filled the sanctuary. I knew there was so much to pray for and many in need of prayer but in that moment, I was at a loss for words. You see, I had been struggling the last couple of weeks with some things. I had recently been feeling myself drifting back into old habits. Habits of choosing to sleep in instead of getting up early to spend time with Abba on my front porch where we have the best conversations. Habits of not choosing to trust Him when we were blindsided by an unexpected need that needed to be met earlier in the week knowing that Abba wanted to meet that need and would fill it. Habits of allowing worry to creep back in trying to steal my peace and my joy when I know He is my peace and my joy. It's those habits that tend to wear us out the most and that the enemy takes delight in but yet God continues to love and see us through them. I was being weighted down again by the world. But as I sat there listening, I felt led to pray in the spirit. I knew if I didn't know what to pray then Holy Spirit would. After a little while in the midst of praying I went into a vision. In the vision I looked up and saw a bright light that came pouring down through the ceiling of the church and it shined down onto the floor at the altar. It was as if God had opened a window from the heavens and was letting His light and love come pouring down out of it. As I watched this light an angel appeared and had a seed in his hand. He planted the seed in this spot that the light was shining on. Once he was done planting this seed, he stepped to the side and stood watching it. Then I saw another angel come along but this time he had come along to water this seed that had been planted. Then that angel stood next to the other angel and kept watch. Then another came along and did the same thing and this same cycle repeated itself at least three times. I was watching the area that was being tended to by the angels and as I watched something began to grow up out of it. This big, beautiful rose appeared, and it stood tall and began to blossom. When this rose had finished growing and when it completely blossomed the angels had put on their armor and stood watching as if they were standing guard to carefully protect this rose at all costs. Then this amazing aroma began flowing out of it. What was amazing is I could physically see it coming out of it. It wasn't just a scent, but I could actually see it fill the sanctuary of the church. Once it filled the sanctuary it came out of the doors of the church and went out into the community and surrounding areas. People were going about their day when this amazing scent caught their attention, and they were all intrigued by it. Many wanting to know where it was coming from. Desperate to figure it out, people began to follow it to find its source. And as I watched, people by the dozens came through the doors of Bethel and came pouring into the altar. They were crying and pouring their hearts out in repentance, they were receiving healing, and they were so overcome by the presence of God. They were being set free. The church was full. As I am in awe of the magnitude of the crowd and the people that were still pouring in, I heard a voice say that many miracles will happen here and that it was a place of healings, and we would see a mighty move of God here. Then I came out of the vision. I was trying to wrap my mind and heart around what I had just seen and asking the Lord if I needed to share it. Sometimes I still question myself, but I don't want to share things if I am not meant to. But as our Pastor had finished praying, he spoke up and said that the Holy Spirit showed him that Bethel would be a place of healing. Not just physical healing but inner healing and deliverance. I almost fell out of my chair in excitement, and I began to cry as I knew then the Lord had confirmed what I had just seen. As I got up to share this beautiful message God had showed me, I was overcome by His presence. It was a message of hope and encouragement for the church. Then our Pastor reminded us of who the rose of Sharon was. As I write this, I know God is breathing new life into the Church. I see the windows being opened as a fresh wind comes blowing through. I keep seeing a sailboat with its sails down where it had lost momentum, but the Lord says I am putting new wind in your sails. He says get ready, get ready!

On January 11th I was in my prayer closet and in worship and in prayer when I was prompted to open a window in the spirit, so I did. As I did He showed me a wind that came out of it and a very bright light. Then I went into a vision. It wasn't until now that I felt led to release it. In this vision the skies had opened up and it was as if God had opened a giant window to heaven to flow down to Earth and a great light came out of this window and it was like He had breathed a fresh wind that came pouring out of it. As I stood there looking up to this window as the wind blew on me I was renewed and was filled with this great light. I ran to the person next to me and it seemed like they were on the verge of death. And the person looked like the life had been sucked out of them. I said the words "come alive dead bones!" And the wind came onto them and it was like a new life had been put into them and they were filled, healed, and they shined like myself in the vision with a great light. And when that person got up they then ran to the next person and then that person went to the next person and so forth and so forth. It continued on from person to person until by time it was over it was like the light that was coming from God's people had over come the darkness that was around. The darkness had no choice but to retreat because it couldn't take the presence of this great light anymore. As I looked around we all stood like an army facing toward heaven. We were not afraid but instead had great power that could only come from the Lord and from His throne room. We were so filled with God's love and light. Then once we were all gathered I felt like my body began to be gravitated and pulled upward toward the light like God was pulling us toward Him. I could feel my body like it was floating. There was such peace and love. Then I came back to where I was and opened my eyes. Since then I have had other visions that He has given me showing me what He is doing in the spirit. He prepared the angels for battle and sent them out on our behalf, then he opened the windows of heaven and has been pouring out onto His children revealing His heart to them and helping them find their identities in Him, and then He showed me today that He is advancing the saints and equipping them for battle and is speaking to us to have crazy bold faith. The same faith Peter had to have to walk on the water while keeping his eyes on Jesus. We are about to come into change. It may be uncomfortable at first due to how we have to step out of our comfort zones and having all the unknowns but we have to keep that crazy bold faith and trust that He will see us through. It's time to walk on the water. Pay close attention to what the Holy Spirit is saying and showing you because things are not what they may seem to be. There are two words that I feel strongly in my spirit. Those two words can mean many things for many people. But you will know what it will mean for you when you see it. Those two words are ...it's time! Just know He is equipping you, advancing you, and preparing you for such a time as this. I speak life over you, I speak wholeness and healing over you, I speak blessings over you, and that all of your needs what ever they maybe will be met in Jesus name! I plead the blood of Jesus over each of you. Know who you are and know that you are chosen and loved and He has a plan specifically just for you. Amen! The window is open, His love, His power, His light is pouring out. Receive it in Jesus name! Dead bones live!!

The last few days we have been seeing a lot of rainbows again and the Lord brought back to me my experience I had with Him almost a year ago and has reminded me of what He spoke to me. I want to re share that experience as I feel that what the Lord had spoken to me in that moment is beginning to come to pass in this season. Keep in mind before having this experience, others and myself, all began to see a bunch of rainbows the week prior to my experience. I rolled over and it was around 7:30am or a little after and a bright light was shining through my bedroom window right through the blinds. Before I had rolled over to it I could feel the warmth of it and I kept hearing wake up Bridget so I rolled over and the sun was beyond amplified. I would try to look and it was brighter than normal but the feeling was this was not the sun but something brighter. I kept hearing a voice say arise and come to me. And I almost started to brush it off because mentally I'm thinking ok I'm tired I just need to go back to sleep. But then the voice practically yelled at me and said BRIDGET come to me! I said ok but where do I need to go and the voice said come outside. And it was like come to me. So I was like ok I'm coming after a second to process and after I was awake I knew in my spirit it was God/Jesus speaking to me. I go to my door and I peek out of it slowly and then I peeked out the window thinking ok what now and He said come out on to the porch. So I eased out the front door and there was only one cloud in the direction to the right of me and I looked up thinking wow its beautiful. And as I was looking at it... it shifted and a bright light like the sun shined on my face and so I kept my head lifted but my eyes closed because it was too bright to open them. I said yes Lord? Next thing I know I hear him say come forth and raise your hands to me as in to reach out and up in praise I said yes Lord. So I did then He said go and be my light in a dark world. He said I am doing a new thing. And I said yes Lord and as I have my eyes closed I could see a brief outline of what looked like Jesus wearing His robe but all I could see was His outline. I asked Him what did I need to do and He said I will show you and in my spirit I felt like He was saying when the time is right I'll show you. I said yes Lord. I felt a tingle all over my body. It was quiet for a minute then the voice said be still and know. He said He loved me. And that the rainbows He has been showing is a sign to us of His promises through the storm for us to just trust Him. I said yes Lord. And then the sun shifted and it quit shining on me. I have never experienced anything like that. I had just previously woke up out of a dream where in the dream an announcement came over the radio and news of a person who was killed, an important person, but it wasn't the current president at the time (Trump). And it meant war was about to start and I remember running and was having to get on the plane. Before I knew I was going to a plane I remember running into an elevator and I remember saying I hate elevators and then the doors open and I was on the plane. Then I went to get on the plane and I didn't know where I was going that's when I woke up to the light being in my face. But I just remember when I was standing there and the sun was shining down bright on me during that whole time I kept feeling I wasn't worthy. I wasn't completely overwhelmed with His presence as in it making me cry or me even being scared but it was a STRONG loving feeling like this was normal. I also forgot to say above that He told me He would be seeing me soon. I will never forget that moment. I wrote it in my prayer journal. He has a plan.

As I was driving the sunset had caught my eye with it's colors of deep oranges and pastel pinks and purples. And as I was taking it all in and admiring the Lord's work I heard the Holy Spirit softly say , "It's time to say goodbye." "What do you mean Lord?!", I said. And then I was shown that I was coming into a season of shifting and one of great change. A new stage was being set and I had to prepare to simply drop it all and go. The Holy Spirit shown me that everything from my past from my childhood up until now I had to learn to simply let go and let Him have it. I couldn't hang on to all of those things anymore. There was no going back and there is no controlling the future. My childhood helped me to be who I am today and then the hardships from my teenage years up until recently had helped shape me and mold me in preparation for what was to come. Then God began to show me during this drive that everything was about to change. The materialistic items that held dear to my heart that had some kind of sentimental meanings to them the Lord said to let them go because these things will soon be burned up in it's time right along with the world. It all each held meaning and served it's purpose for that short period of time. Then as my heart began to ache He said let go of the one's you love. I said, "Lord! How can I let the one's I love go?!". He said, "They belong to me like you belong to me and I have plan for them like I have a plan for you and nothing can change it." He said, "Remember this is not your home and it's not their home either but you can't make them choose me." In that moment I knew that God was asking me to release everything I had ever known and loved completely over to Him. I knew that I had to say goodbye to all of it. I could see myself preparing my heart ,my mind, and getting rid of so many personal belongings and then packing a backpack that held His word, anointing oil, and just the bare essentials and preparing to go out. Then I was brought back to the sunset and the feeling of having such a short period of time to do the Lord's work. For some this sounds so crazy but for me I knew that the Lord was saying to me I had to choose Him fully over EVERYTHING. That I had to learn to let it all go. Everything I had ever known. The normalcy of life, the complacency, the traditions, all of it. He was showing me that everything I once knew is gone. Change is about to take place for all of us and He was going to take us all out of our comfort zones but that it was all going to be for His glory and for the coming of the Kingdom. The flesh side of me grieves these things but the other side knows He is right and I can not tarry. So as I share this I am learning to let it all go and give everything to Him and to prepare to Go when He calls me to Go. The coming months will be like no other. Learn to lay everything you ever have known at the feet of Jesus and prepare your minds and your hearts for the things that are about to take place. What will be will be and no matter how hard it all looks and how heart breaking it may seem He says to simply trust Him. This is my worldly goodbye. No looking back no matter how hard it will be and how much it hurts I have to love my Lord more. Then I realized....this is what picking up my cross truly meant.
