Once, when I asked the Lord why there must be such harsh judgement of the rebel, as His response on the same day, I witnessed a license plate which said, “tough love works.” It did, for the person I was praying for.
When I asked the Lord to comfort me, as I was discouraged from being abused while attempting to maintain normality, He gave me a double portion of encouragement (two or three witnesses). The same day as the prayer, He answered thus wise: One of my customers had a shirt on that said “valiant” which is my NAME, with a picture of Jesus underneath the word! I told the customer HE was using her to speak to me! So, as this very same customer and I were leaving my office, I spotted a car passing directly in front of her and I. Much to my amazement, this car was a Plymouth VALIANT! Rare car, right in front of me, with her wearing that t-shirt!
Four earthquakes: One when I was worshiping alone in my house, one when I was praying and worshiping with my sisters in Christ, one when I had prayed for the Lord to wake me up in time for church, and one (in Turkey: A BIG one) when I was fasting for the Lord to come with His judgements.
In matters of spiritual warfare, I used the words of Jesus to rebuke a drug addict, that was harassing me, and I told satan to leave. This particular person literally turned and walked away from me, protesting the whole time! There was another one, at another time and location, that was harassing everyone passing by with the infamous “fr€€ p@l€stine” nonsense, using crude and violent language. Again, I told satan to leave, in the incomparable Name of Jesus, right in front of my son! My son was asking me not to, in the name of tolerance (ewww!). I explained to my son that the person could not hear me, but the evil spirit could. After that, the person was calm and courteous.
I was praying fervently for the hostages after they were taken. I threw in a request that at least some of them should come home, and I phrased the request like Abraham did when he was bargaining with God for Sodom. I first asked The Lord for the freedom of a hundred captives. Two or three days later, I asked Him, if a hundred was too much, then please bring back fifty. The very next day, I saw an article saying that a deal had been reached to release….get this…. 50-100 hostages!
In addition, I prayed that I would hear Rachel was expecting so I would know that it was THE year of the redemption of our bodies (in Jan 2023). It just so happened (approximately one month later) that she found out she was pregnant, on my BIRTHDAY, in 2023. Two years later, on the 17th day of the second month, I received a package with the announcement that she is again expecting. The devil tried to thwart this one, as my son told me to pray, without telling me why, and before I even found out, because they were afraid they were losing this little one. She was told the baby is fine! (btw, it’s a girl this time!) I was like Abraham in waiting for this second child announcement, in that I knew, from His answer the first time, that the specificity of His answer would speak profoundly to me, at the exact level I needed.
