Journal of Joy Salem, Oregon ~ March 2007 March 18, 2007 - "I KNOW YOU MUST BE SWAMPED WITH E-MAILS i.e. THIS ONE, BUT MUST WRITE TO YOU. In 45 years of Christian "training" (and I've had some of the most renown teachers in the Christian world----primary focus has been on prayer----then service) I can't recall anyone who personally impacted me as much AS YOU!" Ruth L. Keller 03.17.07 The angels awakened me with their kisses at 4:30 a.m. so I arose to pray and prepare for the day. Someone wrote and asked "What does an angel kiss feel like?" An angel kiss is a breath, a wind, a sweet fragrance from heaven, a light, a energy, a whispering sound that brings one awake easily and quickly. Personally, I do not enjoy loud blaring noises and so over 30 years ago I asked the LORD if the angels could be my "morning alarm" and they always have been since that time. The majority of the car was packed the day before and I left Fairview at 6:19 a.m. arriving at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Salem, Oregon at 7:30 a.m. as the sun was coming up over the horizon. Gratefully, Madeleine and I arrived at the church at the same time and therefore, the set up could begin immediately without delay. Sue Blaco and Madeleine Spalding had never attended a workshop previously, so the whole day was very new to them. I completely admire that adventuresome spirit and their faith in the LORD. The first hour of setting up is always in the extreme of activity - it feels like I am on my way to the hospital to have a baby. Such intensity in the spiritual and earthly realms. Pamela Varndell and Sue Thurman, HGRM intercessors as well as Dolores McKee, HGRM Treasurer were in attendance. It is always a joy to have those that are an integral part of our ministry participate.
Madeleine blew the shofar to begin the morning session. YES GOD! Sometime before the workshop the Holy Spirit had directed me to print Jericho - A City of Destiny to give to each person attending regarding an encouragement from ELOHIM of their strategic placement in their city. Out of the twenty-four attending eleven Oregon cities were represented: Newport, Salem, Keizer, Siletz, Eugene, Sweet Home, Myrtle Creek, Albany, Woodburn, Logsden and Fairview. For HIS GLORY! Additionally, there were 12-15 churches represented in the gathering, which is an amazing demonstration of the LORD bringing unity in the body of Christ! We had seven decades represented with youngest, Rita being 13 and the oldest, Ruth being 80. The gathering of generational blessings is so essential in this season. The first half of the morning session was a presentation of different worship instruments and their prophetic/symbolic meaning in the spiritual realm. As the workshop location did not require a flight, the car was packed to the hilt with worship instruments and supplies. You will note in the photographs above: a sword, a tallit from Israel, prophetic rods, a gourd from Arizona, Poi Balls from New Zealand, Native American shaker, timing drums, mantles, prayer shawls, tambourine, scepters, Glory Rings, hammers and more. OH JOY!

Following the morning teaching we shared in a brief season of worship. The angel activity was overtly amazing. You will notice in the worship photos the clusters of white dots and spots not in other photographs. It is one of the ways that angels show up in photographs. (The photos were taken on digital camera - there is no water spots on any film as there is no film.) I especially love the angels sitting on the women's shoulders - isn't that sweet of PAPA GOD! Even though we were in a small place due to lack of vision on my part, the angels were faithful to make sure that no one was hurt with an worship instrument in use. The women were very willing to enter into worship and experience new worship instruments. It was a huge stretch and stepping forward in faith for many of them. After everyone made their Songs in Colors (Glory Rings), we had an open session of the release of prophetic words, impartation, teaching and encouragement. It was a change from our previous workshop format and it was obvious that the LORD's loving hand and tender blessing was upon it.
In the weeks prior to the workshop, the Holy Spirit had indicated to me that I was to give my "Oregon Glory Ring" to the registrant from Myrtle Creek, Oregon as the city it has special generational significance to my mother's family. In the photo above, Gayle Galliard is receiving the Oregon Glory Ring. After the workshop some of us gathered at a local restaurant continuing to dwell and enjoy HIS presence. In my family, we have always celebrated birthdays in grand ways. Following my sister's and Dad's death, I have continued to give a gift to someone that PAPA GOD chooses on their birthdays as a way to honor and continue the celebration of their lives. March 17, 2007 is my Dad's birthday even though he has been celebrating in heaven for the last seven years. Although, I did not know it was going to happen until the moment that it did, the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to me about giving my rubies and diamond dinner ring to one beautiful daughter of Elohim during dinner. The ring was a profound and extravagant gift to me on Father's Day last year. Tonight, it was a gift from PAPA GOD to HIS precious and cherished daughter. It was so overtly the LORD's plan and purpose. HE is the most lavish and extravagant FATHER! Road construction and other traffic delays lengthened the trip home followed by ten trips up and down three flights of stairs to unload the car. Smiles. The LORD is always faithful beyond our comprehension. The LORD mysteriously released the "THE FIRE HAMMER" that I received as a gift March 2004 from Sandi Traylor, Vernonia, Oregon. Essentially it is about the LORD contending and establishing HIS people for HIS purposes and plans in specific locations. Secondly, it is about the consuming fire of ELOHIM protecting HIS people and removing the enemy from their midst. For more, I completely encourage you to do a word search in the Scriptures for fire and hammer and ask the HOLY SPIRIT what HE is speaking to your personally. "HIS Scepter of Righteousness" was also released for Salem, Oregon and all the cities represented. The scepter was a gift from Terry Alexander, Pineville, North Carolina in 2005. When I unpacked from the trip the scepter was broken - a symbol of breakthrough! The Scriptures are: Luke 12:32, Matthew 16:19, Isaiah 9:7, Matthew 5:10, Matthew 13:11, Micah 4:8, Matthew 6:10, Matthew 5:3, Matthew 13:44, Matthew 18:3, Psalm 110:2, Genesis 49:10, Hebrews 1:8, I Timothy 5:17, Revelation 19:15, Revelation 20:6, II Timothy 5:17, Revelation 19:15, Revelation 20:6, II Timothy 2:12 and Song of Songs 7:10. May each city and person represented receive fully the Scepter of Righteousness from the KING of Kings, YESHUA, OUR MESSIAH.
With a grateful heart to my PAPA G who graciously sustains me and releases HIS favor, kindness, grace, peace, love, reconciliation, hope, joy and strength to HIS people. And warm affection to the faithful HGRM intercessors whose prayers provide the wind beneath my wings as HE sends me to take HIS message of goodness and mercy to HIS own. A daughter of the MOST HIGH GOD, Jennifer Lynn Joy
