Personal Updates:
- Laura:
- This morning as I was praying he was talking to me about the seasons – we’re in harvest season from planting last spring. I asked him what we had planted last spring and I got a few things there. Caliber and RockPile started last spring (March/April). Looks like my work is going to continue from RockPile.
- John: We’re moving forward with creating a new line (teaching) for Laura. Introduce the service and get feedback when we attend 1 Million Cups on Wednesday morning at 9am. Lord, we ask for your blessing over the presentation. We pray for favor and blessing and for good/useful feedback. Thank you for ingenuity!
- Jack: Playing at Flat Irons tonight! They sent an email to him to schedule a couple dates. I think he was really excited to play. We’re praying for a good experience and he’ll enjoy it. Lord, we thank you for stirring up Jack’s musical ability; that he knows what he is supposed to do. Let this be a time of victory for him as he performs in perfection for you!
- Jordan: Just started classes Monday.
- John: Jack and I are going fall camping this weekend. (Laura is planning quiet time for herself since she’ll be home by herself).
- Prayer time:
Laura: With each other, not since I got back from Georgia. What’s standing in the way – us!
Vicki: I can hear God’s laughing at that and telling you that you need to get out of your own way and start praying together. There is power in praying together. Lord, we ask you to remove any barriers between them honoring and worshiping you. Bring them together in unity; give them the perfect time and setting.
Pamela: What’s the sound of one hand clapping?
John/Laura: Nothing.
Pamela: Yes. That just whipped into my mind. Because you are united as one, and you’re not praying together, there is something missing. You don’t make the same sound as 2 hands clapping together. Praying together is the unity of you becoming one – celebrate it in prayer.
John: We just need to get together on that. If we liked each other more…
Laura: If John liked me more.
Pamela: Could there be Masonic interference? I’m sensing something needs to be taken care of – there’s something that needs to be brought to the surface and gotten rid of. There is something standing in your way so you’re not quite in unity, something not connected that needs to be addressed.
Vicki: Sometimes you have to just do it – even if you don’t want to. God will make the shift if you are obedient to do his will.
Laura: It’s just the habit is gone after being gone for 6 days. We need to get back into the routine. I’m sure, for me, it’s far more that than anything else.
Pamela: It is about where your priorities are. Either you don’t think it’s important or there’s a wounding that makes you want to avoid praying together. Just something to think about. Set up a time, maybe early in the morning where you come together and pray together and ask God to bless your day together so you’re starting in unity.
Vicki: We have some time left. Why don’t you pray and bless each other now?
John: (said something like “I don’t like performing”). Bless Laura. She is a beautiful woman. Thank you.
Laura: Thank you, Lord, for John. Blessings on him. I thank you he hears your voice and he has a calling on his life. Empower him through Christ to be the husband you desire him to be and I thank you that he walks in righteousness and holiness and he calls Jesus friend and Jesus calls him friend.
Vicki: Was that uncomfortable?
John: No.
Vicki: An important part of your relationship is blessing each other. It’s a great way to start out prayer time.
Pamela: I suggest you start your day off giving the day to God. Pray blessings for the day over each other so you start your day in unity with each other and god.
John: That’s do-able.
Business Updates:
- NV – I met with Terry. Still don’t know how much money we’ll need. We’re getting closer to the dollar figure
- RockPile – ended yesterday. No discussion about the sales side.
- Cowboy – heard from the lady on clarifying economics, but nothing since.
- Boston – working out the financial model. Very difficult to keep profitable. Our business models don’t jive. If the incubator can subsidize some of it, it would work. We’re figuring out the stock. We’re in the right direction on all that. I’m trying to get connected with them again – another skype call with Laura. Still trying to figure out.
- I’ve got a meeting tomorrow with a company regarding E29 – don’t know if they have money or not. Meeting with several people from their team. 11:30am.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray Jack has a great experience playing at Flat Irons and that he really enjoys it
- Continued prayer against the distractions that interfere with John’s intimate prayer time with the Lord
- Prayer for Terry and Carol – their house goes to auction (foreclosure) tomorrow
- Continued prayer for revelation on the dollar amounts for NV
- Prayer for the meeting tomorrow regarding E29
Thank you Lord for this time together. Thank you that Laura & John are becoming more united all the time; thank you that you’re leading through this and they’re listening to you. Lord, we praise you for the opportunities that are opening up – the ones we see and the ones we don’t see yet. Set them on a new direction; something more gratifying for Laura. We ask that fruit is born from these meeting. We ask you to bless their children and bless Terry and Carol. Bring them comfort and move them into a new season.
Homework (Focus on God’s Will):
- We recommend John (and Laura?) make an appointment with Linda Sloan
Spiritual Protection:
Heavenly Father, as your word tells us to, we bind up any demonic spirits affecting John and Laura’s relationship. We say ‘no’ to anything that comes against unity in their marriage. We loose the spirit of love, of patience, of joy over them now. Bless this covenant relationship and bring it into the fullness of what you created it to be. We praise you Jesus for creating this body, the body of John and Laura for they are one in your eyes, and we praise you for creating it with different parts to bring glory and honor to you and your kingdom. Help them to operate in the perfection you created them for.
Prophetic Encouragement:
From Vicki:
I kept getting this verse about you (specifically about John) this week. I did not sense it is meant to be taken in a negative sense – it feels like you more on the rise, not in a fallen state.
Proverbs 24:16 (NKJV)
16 For a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again,
But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
From Pamela:
I want to start by saying that I admire your willingness to jump in and address whatever comes up. It is time for you to become free to be who God made you to be individually, and as husband and wife. To become the healthy loving family God intended and become the leaders in the business community that God intended for you.
Laura, you might not be able to directly trace the Masonic in your family line. But when you and John were married you became one flesh and some of these curses fell on you. There is something that is keeping you from freely worshiping God. Every time I have heard teaching on speaking in tongues it has been described as an outpouring of worship of God. When that which is blocking you from freely worshiping is gone, you will have the gift of speaking in tongues.
An image of the effect of Freemasonry on your family, lives and businesses:
The image I got last week was John with the Masonic Cable Tow wrapped firmly around his body. What I saw was John working very hard but making very little progress because he is pulling the Masonic structure behind him and it is fighting him every step of the way.
- The purpose of the Cable Tow in the First Level Ceremony is to hang/kill anyone who tries to leave the order. By the Third Level Ceremony the Cable Tow is wrapped around the body to make a permanent soul tie to the Masonic order that cannot be broken.
- We know that God can break anything!
John 10:10b (AMP)
I have come that they may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
Isaiah 61 and Luke 4 speak of Jesus coming to set the captives free.
We know that God’s word says in John 10:10a… The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy
These are the things that I see the enemy coming to steal, kill and destroy in your lives. These are some of the curses of the Masonic. More of the curses may apply but these are what God has shown me:
– Your first born, Jordan, almost died. It is only through intercession of many prayer warriors that this scheme was stopped. The curse of the death of the first born was almost realized.
– The enemy has stolen the emotional intimacy out of your marriage. (The Masonic ring puts the Lodge above the family. It wants to destroy your family. There are wounds in your hearts that need to be healed. God created you to honor, respect and serve each other. It is so hard for you to pray and worship together. This is a symptom, a fruit you don’t want in your lives.)
– The Religious spirit or controlling spirit – Also the Babylonian Kingship curse – creates division in the family. (God has been working with you on this through dreams and visions.) This is the root of your wanting to control new believers which actually pushes them away from you and God. It also creates friction with your children as they grow up and are stretching and trying on new images of themselves. The enemy is coming against your calling.
– Blindness. (John, I think you mentioned you have eye problems.)
– Pestilence – devouring of intended harvest. (Laura was talking about where is the harvest of what we planted? The enemy is stealing it. God can restore what has been stolen.)
– Defeat and failure – your potential is never developed. You are both very bright and creative. It sounds like you have had all of your ideas and hard work stolen for years and years and years. (If you do not face and defeat it, it will come after Jack and Jordan too. It already is coming after them.)
– Perpetual trauma – Always putting out fires. In your finances, your businesses and your family.
– Emotional hardness – Especially in men relating to their children? (John, it does show in your not being able to freely bless Laura. Those were not jokes today, they were cries of the heart.)
– Chronic sickness – Jordan’s unexplained periodic migraines…..
– Your armor is full of holes – Putting on the garments of the rituals puts holes in the armor of God. Their ceremonies are a parody, a mockery of the truth.
Don’t let the enemy win!!!!! Don’t let pride or anything else stand in the way. Freedom is real. It is available. God is bigger than all of this. John, you said last week that you knew I was right. Your stomach said it is true. Your family is worth it. Your calling is worth it. You are worth it! God wants you to walk powerfully. He has a plan and purpose for each of you. The enemy wants to kill and destroy you, your family and your callings. Lord we pray for the complete and total victory that you purchased on the cross to be fulfilled in the lives of John, Laura, Jordan and Jack. We thank you in Jesus name for the healing you are bringing to this family.
Finally I want to remind you…Ephesians 6:12 (NIV) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. We are also called to repentance (Acts 3: 17-21 and Revelation 3:19-22) and forgiveness (Mathew 6:14-16) as part of this process.
God loves you both very much. Be blessed in Jesus name!
