God Continues Speaking, Part 2

The past couple of days, we have been seeing several visions of wolves trying to get at Yvonne, but they’d never made it past the door to her room. Cindy felt like the wolf was death. We had a really good time of worship and prayer on Wednesday night (when Erica saw the big angel keeping the black wolf outside), but slacked off on Thursday morning, with not as much singing and praying. Still some, but not as much.

On Thursday, we were gathered around Yvonne’s bed worshipping when Sarah saw a wolf crouched at the foot of the bed. It leaped at Yvonne, but a big man standing by her feet (Jesus), turned and swung his fist at the wolf. He hit it in the muzzle and it fell to the ground and ran away.

Marvin wondered why the wolf had been able to come into the room, since it’d always been outside before. We realized that our prayers and praise had kept it out, but we had slowed down in the spiritual warfare. After we started praying again, Sarah saw that the big man had a bow and arrow and was following the wolf. It was like he had a walkie-talkie and we had one, too. He told us, “I’m hunting the wolf.” He had the wolf in his sights, but hadn’t shot yet.

Marvin really wanted this to be written down. “It’s a lesson in spiritual warfare,” he said.

When we kept praying, it felt like angels resealed the room, keeping the wolf out.

Awhile later, several people saw the wolves again. Danae saw the wolves running away with muzzles on. “Who can they hurt with muzzles?” Marvin said. Sarah saw two wolves snapping and snarling at the door, trying so hard to get in. But as we kept praising the name of Jesus, she saw the wolves in the hospital hall, both wounded. The one had fallen, dead, and the other kept trying to run away until it fell, too. Jesus came and dragged the wolves away, saying, “I’ll take care of this.

It’s obvious that Jesus is still here with us, encouraging and speaking to us. Several times a day, we sit together in Yvonne’s room and sing. It seems that the nurses enjoy it, as well. Please keep praying with us as we seek God in the next steps and continue reminding Him of His promises, and asking for His healing.

God Continues Speaking

We continue waiting on the Lord. Yvonne's sister and brother-in-law are here, along with four of her daughters. Sarah was finally able to make it home yesterday morning, after a night which the doctor didn't expect Yvonne to get through. Yvonne had a good day yesterday, and in the evening we had a time of prayer and worship.

The doctor came to prepare us for what the end look like, but then God started telling us something more hopeful. As we prayed, several of us received impressions.

• Dennis saw a picture of a valley covered in fog, and above it sat an eagle. The sun began to rise over the valley, shining brightly on the eagle's head. "A new day is dawning."
• Sarah saw twice yesterday that Jesus was sitting cross-legged on the foot of Yvonne's bed, facing her. Then she saw the cross standing in the middle of the room. The blood of Jesus dripped from the cross and ran across the floor and up the bed to Yvonne. As the blood touched Yvonne, her body turned pure white and a black mist left her body.
• Cindy got a picture of a white embryo, resting over a white bed. "New life." Erica saw a tightly closed Easter lily blooming while a huge yellow sun rose behind it.
• Erica felt that there was an angel standing outside the patio door with his arms up, like he was guarding the door. She then saw a black wolf (like Scarface from The Wilderness Family, for anyone who's watched it) outside snarling, but then he stopped and turned and walked away.
  After Erica shared this, Yvonne said that she had seen a huge angel, as big as the room. She asked if he was a healing angel, and he said yes. However, she asked God to confirm if she had seen right by having someone else see an angel, too.

As we began to pray and worship, Yvonne asked "Does anyone else feel like there's doves all over the room?" We've been continually reminded of God's promises; from doves, which represent peace and the Holy Spirit; to seeing Yvonne guarded from wolves that represent death.

God's Great Grace, Part 4

April 4, 2015 (4-4-15)

A few times Yvonne has mentioned that it bothers her that I know hardly anything about paying the bills or the passwords for any of the accounts. Tonight she brought it up again and it was obvious that it bothered her greatly. So I said, why don't we spend some time talking about this and write down what I need to know. Janelle got the laptop and created a spreadsheet for it.

One of my fears that I am trying to overcome, especially during times like this, is the fear of doing, or not doing, something that would “derail” the whole plan of God. I know that this is an invalid concern; even a religious fear. In this case, here is something that the Lord God himself, the One who spoke the entire universe into existence with a Word, said He will do. Do I think that I am able to stop Him from accomplishing His plan and purpose?

On the other hand, Jesus was unable to do any miracles in his hometown; He was only able to heal a few people. The problem was a lack of faith in Jesus by the people who knew him. I don't want to disappoint Jesus or cause him to have to find someone else that will press in to Him all the way until there is breakthrough and His plan is accomplished. It would be so incredibly disappointing for us to have come so far and be so close to the victory of His will and to then fail. Would He allow that to happen?

And so we paused in our taking care of undone details that were bothering Yvonne and talked to the Lord about it. We asked Him a question, “Does our taking care of details like this show a lack of faith in You?” Then we waited, listening. I heard a voice say, “The funeral will take place... in 30 years!” Seriously, Lord​​? I'm trying to be serious about this. (Insert 'grin' here). The consensus was that the Lord wasn't bothered at all by our planning at a time like this. I like that.

Then, I had an idea. Let's ask Him for a confirmation. Let's ask Him, “Is it okay for us to do this?” We did and we waited. What happened next is actually stunning. I wonder if I will ever really grasp the closeness of the Lord; the reality of His joy over us as His people.

Almost immediately I saw the feet and ankles of a very large, tall person or being. I saw the edge of his robe and the lower end of a staff. The thickness of the staff was about 3 inches. This person raised the staff and forcefully hit the ground 3 times, boom, boom, boom. Then I heard a voice speak. It was a large voice and spoke with authority. He said, “Let it be done.” There was joy and gladness in the voice. It was permission and more; it was a command. “LET IT BE DONE.”

My first thought was sort of, wow, why the force? Why the...drama? It was just a question! We continued to wait. Then, I saw warships on the move. I saw an aircraft carrier and a destroyer, I think. They were creating a major bow wave; they were on the move. I heard the voice say, “I am putting my people in place.”

To be continued....

Short Update on Yvonne

Hello Dear family and friends,

We wanted to give everyone an update on Yvonne. Her spirit is strong; but physically she continues to deteriorate. Her immediate family, along with Cindy and Dennis, are surrounding her. 

Marvin and the girls are still believing in Him healing her, but they have also released her to go if Jesus calls her. 

We are asking for all communicate and/or visits to be confirmed through Cindy Detweiler at cinddetw@gmail.com. The family will use a face book page to post updates regarding Yvonne in the near future. 

Please continue to keep them all in your prayers,

June and Sara for the family
