Personal & Ministry Updates:
1. Laura doesn’t engage in battles with witchcraft that I’ve seen. My mom’s an intercessor. I haven’t seen it touch her either. My dad was fighting vertigo several months ago – we prayed for him, they put him on meds and it went away. She was here on Mother’s Day and the next day she started having the same feelings of vertigo and started sleeping twice a day. Meeting a couple heavy in deliverance – don’t know when yet. Mailing me something and waiting on a book to come. It’s a nuisance, a distraction.
2. Vicki: it may be something different – not just a Free Masonry thing.
3. A whole new realm/group of prophetic people opening up to me. One woman knows Rich Harris.
4. Laura: Atlanta trip went well. Don’t know what’s going to happen with my stepfather. He’s 85 and health not good. Don’t know if it’s possible to do surgery. He knows the Lord in a religious way. I was able to pray for my mom, she struggles with fear and always has. I broke it off of her and she received it. She needs encouragement to walk it out. Learning to trust the lord and to listen to him in her time of need, whatever that need is. Lorraine.
5. Jack: don’t know what the answer is – love and revelation and identity. An amazing kid.
6. Jordan: has been doing very well. She’s on her own for a few weeks, her roommate is out of town. Her demeanor was quite positive.
Business Updates:
1. Meeting with Terry & Carol Hunter tomorrow for Nehemiah Ventures – beyond overwhelming and my knowledge and time I have to do it. I had coffee with Demetrious just to be friendly. I got a word from Teri Uziak – she thinks the financing is going to come from somebody I don’t know. There’s a grace on this, it’s been so easy to not try to do anything on it. Vicki: related to Ivan’s word last week about slowing down and not pushing things.

Prayer Requests:
1. Laura and I’ve seen a major shift in our relationship since our anniversary.
2. God talks to me with numbers 17, 7 & 10, spiritual perfection. He’s given me that a lot over. 717 completion and perfection and 11/11 a lot. Double transition. VF: We’re believing it’ll be a powerful transition, not fear or trepidation. IS: sometimes in the area of prophetic, especially in highly prophetic or one of the actual ministries of it, when you’re coming into alignment, you get freer and freer from some of the stuff that happens – tiredness, sleepiness, dizziness, etc. As you come into it, those things go away. It has to do with alignment or realignment – part of the transition into another place the Lord wants you. Leaving Bridgeway – went to Renovation and Brian spoke things to me. I feel good/peace about it.
3. Laura: I was happy at Bridgeway. I wouldn’t have chosen this, but I’m willing to go and look at Renovation.
4. Laura: Prayer around wonderful blessing of so much work and new clients. I need wisdom on how to handle it and how to train up some people to help me. To expand so we can go bigger and further. I need some people, but I have Kristen. Don’t know how many people we need to bring in. Right people at the right time.
Father, thank you for John and Laura. You’ve heard the conversation and requests and again we agree to that. Continue to give greater rest in the midst of work and challenge and skill and ability as well to continue with words of knowledge and wisdom. That you love would continue to grow within each of them. We believe you are doing an alignment/transition. Bless their business we believe they will prosper and bring you honor and glory.

Prophetic Encouragement:
From Vicki:
El Elyon, the God Most High, we thank you for your love and intimacy with John and Laura, Jack and Jordan. We ask you to reveal any areas where they need to seek forgiveness from you. Lead them to repentance for any generational issues. Set your warring angels around them to protect them. Bring your ministering angels to heal them and restore their anointing to levels greater than before. Bring new areas of anointing to each of them. Bless them richly with your wisdom and knowledge. Take John and Laura to deeper levels of intimacy with you and show them how to soar in their calling and gifts! We boldly proclaim that the enemy has no authority over their lives! They are hidden in the shadow of your wings! By your word, they are called by You, and their gifts and callings cannot be revoked! Protect their minds – help them to properly use the full armor of God.
I feel like there is misinformation around the witchcraft thing – thinking it is one thing, but it’s something entirely different. Be wise about the Jezebel spirit especially related to the witchcraft spirit. We think you are doing well, you sound peaceful.
Taking away your strength and converting it to the Lord’s strength. Think there’s an area of alignment, the enemy doesn’t like the alignment process.
From Ivan:
Thank you Lord for John and Laura and that they can work together as a team. Thank you that your good favor and strong favor is on Elevate 9 and the Nehemiah project that is in the making.
Lord give fresh clarity in direction of their future and their walk with you. Lord help him with this fatigue and spiritual warfare that is going on in his family.
Lord show your power in the word for John and the decrees of the spirit that you want him to make. Lord set him free from any attack of the enemy that would bring apprehension and confusion of any kind. Restore his confidence to a new level.
The Lord is bringing you into a deeper place with him and teaching you to rely more on the strength of the Lord. The Lord has torn down but he will build up for his purposes. Nehemiah was a restorer of the breach, a builder of a promise and an inspiration to lead the people.
The Lord gave a picture of you shoveling coal away from a burning furnace. You were making progress and the furnace was losing its heat. The fire, furnace and the coal were all from the enemy. In effect you were taking away his fuel. It was strange procedure in that normally you put coal in a furnace but the Lord directed you to do the opposite and you did and are doing it. It has to do with elevate 29 and your business. In other words you are not falling into a trap. The Lord has you doing some unusual things that will lead to the truth and grant you peace. It will be a victory for you and the kingdom.
