Personal Updates:
- Laura: In Georgia (Jack too)
- Going to see her dad first. He lives in NE corner of Georgia (almost Carolina).
- Going to see her mom on Friday. Columbus Georgia, near Alabama.
- Laura and I: We continue to progress – we’re seeing good things on that front.
- Met with Rich and talked about Rick Joyner’s book. Stuff in 1st chapter about judgment, pride and critical spirit and I knew I had to deal with that. I’m carrying it, it’s always toward the source of pain. It deals with a level of maturity in Christianity. I prayed and repented.
- I told Laura it was going on and she laughed because last week she had been praying and asked what she should pray about, He said, “criticism, pride and judgment”. She was all excited!
- Yesterday, I got some stuff and I grabbed her to sit out back. I said we had to pray about some stuff. Told her what I was getting.
i. He told me she had a dream and I understood the dream. The (dream) event was something happened and we got out of our car to look at the event. Everyone was looking at it and I got mad at the people who were going the wrong direction. Police came and I got mad at them. Babies playing and we were trying to get around them, driving through yards, parents looking at me like I was going to hit them.
ii. Young believers and faith and the other was religion – pray for me against religion and having wrong posture around young believers. He’s been working on teenagers with me (teen in the spirit and in the natural). I’ll be dealing with them wherever the Lord is taking us.
iii. I’ve sensed for a long time because of the number of people coming to Christ I’ll be working with a lot of CEO’s who are coming into the kingdom and God gave me a test run with the CEO of ever. I’d still call him young in the spirit. It’s challenging.
- You can record our calls. (Pamela offered to use her micro recorder and record the calls). I’ve found transparency moves me down the road faster – people know my junk.
- I’ve been getting quiet and listening to the Lord. The distractions are what I come against. I’m going to go fly-fishing this weekend. Only an hour and a half from here near Nederland.
- Jordan: Is in California with Cameron and another couple. She got a free trip out of it. They’re in LA (Orange County) and going to try to get to San Diego. Something is up there – lots of prophetic guns getting ready to move there. Don’t know if they got rid of the bugs in the apartment. One roommate left already.
- Prophetic: I have crazy dreams about daily. Big ones – it’s been a few days since the last one.
- Awaken CO: Laura and I went to Bridgeway service.
i. Peter asked me for words of knowledge and let me get up on stage and call out words.
ii. I got testimony from someone who flew in from Illinois – they were having physical issues.
iii. The issue that was interesting to me (and related to the conversation I had with Peter last week): I asked the Lord about accuracy. Where I’ve landed is if the word is not happing at the moment then it’s judged as a bad word. Laura and I stopped to get food. I passed a family with a boy with a brace on his knee and the mom walked up to me and said, “You go to Bridgeway. You called a word of knowledge last year about a neck. You prayed for me and you said you prayed for my joints and I rejected it [the word about joints]. Just this week my physical therapist was talking about all of the things in my joints! This woman said she knew she was going to come and talk to me the next time she saw me! She repented and apologized to me. Then I got to pray for her.
iv. New question: If you don’t receive it, in other words reject the word, what does it do to the healing? I also prayed for the husband, daughter and boy. So God dealt with the issue.
v. I’m seeing the prophetic coming back. It’s not where it was – I’m still not seeing the miracles. I know people are getting healed. When God moves it doesn’t matter how big it is. We as people categorize it based on the affliction – finger small, raising dead big. I’m after the miracles – I’m not seeing them yet.
Business Updates:
- RockPile: They paid us.
- Content and Blog: I don’t know what’s happening with the clients she talked to.
- Cowboy: Howard, VP from RockPile, offered to put $5k into cowboy project. Howard texted me this morning and asked if I’d done anything with them. I told him I’ve talked with Kevin and nothing ever happens. Don’t know if they really want to do it. So, I asked Howard if they were still interested in doing it and he said, “Yes but only through the end of the month”. I emailed the cowboy guy and told him the situation; haven’t heard anything back.
- Finances: That’s it. I don’t have anything else on the radar right now. We’ll be in the red in less than a month. Something’s got to break. Everybody who has been praying for me, their prophetic information has been landing on finances including a buddy of mine and a lady at Awakening CO.
- NV/Boston: Had a good chat with the Chris & Zoey. They’ve opened 3 or 4 daycares and they fill up right after they open. We’ve talked 2 times. I don’t think the space is big enough for what we want to do – but we could scale the project down there. There are some things on the table we’ve asked God to speak to us about – bizarre things. If He talks to you we want to hear it.
- Just to start the insurance company there is a ½ million dollar fee, and then we can start the company. Could need $50 million. I was talking with Terry and we couldn’t make the numbers work until we started multiple incubators. Target is to do 3 a year = 15 in 5 years and things start to look interesting. Too many unknowns, but it’s coming together. Things are unfolding. Don’t feel we are behind or ahead. What we need to deal with is coming in right now – that’s what prayer is about. I’ve heard to be loose in my planning.
Prayer Requests:
- I don’t know what to pray for. God knows how to talk to you guys.
Lord we thank you for your presence today. During the phone call and with the extended family as they travel. Looking forward to your presence with John – as he gets distracted, bring his attention back to you. Whatever it takes for him to be quiet, bring him into your presence – draw him in and show him the treasures you have for him and how he is learning to hear you and trust you in new ways. We give you all the financial parts, we turn it over to you and you will show them what to do. We ask you to touch John’s heart with your presence. Fill him with your joy. Let him see through your eyes. Spirit of fear go in Jesus’ name. Love and joy fill John this week as he spends time and listens to you and enjoys your presence.
Pamela: I’m going to invite you to sit with no agenda. Only to be in God’s presence. If he speaks to you, great, if not, that’s ok too. You may be a bit frustrated because you think you’re not hearing from him, but his presence is doing something in you. You’ll know what it is in due time.

Prophetic Encouragement:
From Pamela:
Pamela: I’ve been asking 2 things when I’m praying for you. And what I get is quiet; it’s not frantic or something’s missing. It’s just a peaceful quiet. I’m feeling God’s presence, but I’m not hearing anything. I believe this ties into that you’re supposed to be talking to Him, not me.
I’m sending you to the book of Nehemiah. God has a treasure for you there. Go and dig it up. It’s for you. It will revolutionize your life, do something to your life, shake it up, it’s a good thing. I’m seeing you revolving. A couple things for you in Nehemiah.
John: I have to read Nehemiah again? Go to NehemiahVentures.com
Pam: I’m feeling excitement and delight. What I’m seeing is angels jumping up and down because of what you’re about to find. It’s not by accident you have this week alone. Ask God what he wants to show you. The heavenlies are excited.
CLIENT – John, Laura
You are correct to leave your work plans loose. Part of your calling is to empower not only companies but people within them. This in turn, empowers the companies even more. You have been given the gift of seeing individuals as they have been but also as God has created them to be. You are to be an instrument to call forth the gifts that God has put into them. You will be bringing leadership and skills out in others that they do not know they have. People will rush to your door because something miraculous happens when you work with their companies. The people in them come alive. They begin to work in unity around a goal. God intends to use you and prosper you. The enemy intends to kill, steal and destroy. God wins. Trust God.
(Suggested reading, Reinventing the Wheel God’s Transformation of the Marketplace. By Linda Sloan. I will get the link for it if you cannot find it.)
Lord, bring forth the things of the enemy that are hiding. Reveal the things that are bringing death and destruction to John and Laura and their family. It is time for the enemy’s plan to be revealed into the light of the day so it can be destroyed. In Jesus’ mighty name.
Let God speak into your life. Sitting still and being with the Father can be hard but it is providing a space for Him to speak into you. Trust Him. Even when you do not hear Him, He is working. He is preparing you.
John and Laura, ask your parents if they or anyone in your families were/are members of the Freemasons AKA the Masonic Lodge.
God, bring provision to John and Laura in this time of transformation. Let them know how much You care about their welfare. You are their provider. Give John peace and assurance of Your love so he can sit and hear Your voice. We love You Jesus. In your name, Amen.
Bring unity and joy to the whole family. Align every member with your plan for their lives. In Jesus Name.
This Psalm is full of promises for you, your family, your children and your finances. This is the truth! Stand on His truth! He is training you for war. This is a war fought in the spiritual realm. Your physical battlefield is in your family and the Marketplace. But the victory comes from the spiritual realm. It starts with you pursuing Him.
Psalm 144 (NIV)
1 Praise be to the Lord my Rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
2 He is my loving God and my fortress,
my strongholdand my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.
5 Part your heavens, Lord, and come down;
touch the mountains, so that they smoke.
6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy;
shoot your arrows and rout them.
7 Reach down your hand from on high;
deliver me and rescue me
from the mighty waters,
from the hands of foreigners
8 whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.
9 I will sing a new song to you, my God;
on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,
10 to the One who gives victory to kings,
who delivers his servant David.
From the deadly sword 11 deliver me;
rescue me from the hands of foreigners
whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.
12 Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a palace.
13 Our barns will be filled
with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;
14 our oxen will draw heavy loads.
There will be no breaching of walls,
no going into captivity,
no cry of distress in our streets.
15 Blessed is the people of whom this is true;
blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
Proverbs 21:21 (NIV)
Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.
Deuteronomy 28 (AMP)
28 If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God.
3 Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock.
5 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading trough.
6 Blessed shall you be when you come in and blessed shall you be when you go out.
7 The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon you in your storehouse and in all that you undertake. And He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
9 The Lord will establish you as a people holy to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name [and in the presence of] the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.
11 And the Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of your body, of your livestock, and of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.
12 The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
13 And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them.
14 And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
From Vicki:
John:
As I was praying over you this week the conversation about not having joy kept coming back to my mind. Holy Spirit revealed several scriptures on joy to me, and I was going to incorporate them into this report, but felt the Holy Spirit indicate he wants you to search them out. So I’ve been praying for joy for you.
John: There has been 11 years of war and I need to grow up in the area of joy.
Vicki: Have you prayed about the vision I got a few weeks ago about there being a treasure in the house?
John: No we haven’t.
Laura:
I believe you have and know the Lord’s joy, but it gets squished or pinched (that’s what I was hearing).
John: Probably by me.
From Donna:
John:
Isaiah 52:13-15 CJB
“See how my servant will succeed!
He will be raised up, exalted, highly honored!
14 Just as many were appalled at him,
because he was so disfigured
that he didn’t even seem human
and simply no longer looked like a man,
15 so now he will startle many nations;
because of him, kings will be speechless.
For they will see what they had not been told,
they will ponder things they had never heard.”
John, the part of the above scripture that stood out to me was verse 13. I believe the Lord is doing a new work in you, one that will bring you success in every area of your life. He will raise you up and do this new thing as you continue to spend quite time with Him at His feet. I see you sitting quietly at His feet being taught by Him. He is ready to download a lot of revelation to you as you sit before Him and wait upon Him.
Laura:
As I was praying for you, Holy Spirit led me to Psalm 34. I believe He would like you to slowly read, pray and meditate on it. He has much to reveal to you about yourself, the Lord and His promises to you! Be blessed!
Psalm 34 CJB
(1) I will bless Adonai at all times;
his praise will always be in my mouth.
3 (2) When I boast, it will be about Adonai;
the humble will hear of it and be glad.
4 (3) Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai;
let us exalt his name together.
5 (4) I sought Adonai, and he answered me;
he rescued me from everything I feared.
6 (5) They looked to him and grew radiant;
their faces will never blush for shame.
7 (6) This poor man cried; Adonai heard
and saved him from all his troubles.
8 (7) The angel of Adonai, who encamps
around those who fear him, delivers them.
9 (8) Taste, and see that Adonai is good.
How blessed are those who take refuge in him!
10 (9) Fear Adonai, you holy ones of his,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
11 (10) Young lions can be needy, they can go hungry,
but those who seek Adonai lack nothing good.
12 (11) Come, children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of Adonai.
13 (12) Which of you takes pleasure in living?
Who wants a long life to see good things?
14 (13) [If you do,] keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from deceiving talk;
15 (14) turn from evil, and do good;
seek peace, go after it!
16 (15) The eyes of Adonai watch over the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry.
17 (16) But the face of Adonai opposes those who do evil,
to cut off all memory of them from the earth.
18 (17) [The righteous] cried out, and Adonai heard,
and he saved them from all their troubles.
19 (18) Adonai is near those with broken hearts;
he saves those whose spirit is crushed.
20 (19) The righteous person suffers many evils,
but Adonai rescues him out of them all.
21 (20) He protects all his bones;
not one of them gets broken.
22 (21) Evil will kill the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
23 (22) But Adonai redeems his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
Jordan:
Psalm 91 CJB or any version you like
Jordan, I believe the Lord wants to assure you that you are protected and that you abide under the shelter of His Almighty wings.
Jack:
Proverbs 19 CJB or any version you like
Jack, Holy Spirit would like to impart the Wisdom of Solomon to you as you meditate on Proverbs 19. Blessings!
