Journal of Joy Tennessee ~ June 5-20, 2007 06.05.07 ~ Everything about the preparation for this trip was different. I was planning to drive up in early in the morning and meet my daughter in Battle Ground, Washington so that she could take me to the airport. At 7:24 p.m. the LORD said to leave by 8:00 p.m. and go to Battle Ground tonight. As I have learned when the LORD says to "Move"....I move. In 36 minutes, I packed my suitcase and carry-on, closed up the duplex and was on the road. Gratefully the suitcase for the workshop was already packed. At exactly 8:33 p.m. as I was driving north on I-5 near Salem, Oregon there was a magnificent purple, pink, magenta, gold sunset on the west and exactly opposite on the east was a full-color prism rainbow. I was the middle of a rainbow-glory sandwich. Smiles. The Holy Spirit inquired, "Do you see the SON sitting at the right hand of the FATHER?" I smiled, "Yes." Then He asked, "Do you see the rainbow around the throne?" More smiles, "Yes." Then He declared, "This is the atmosphere I am bringing to the Tennessee Workshops!" It was a divine, holy time in HIS presence. I was blessed beyond words because it was the first HE had spoken to me about the workshops and usually I hear long before departure day what HE has planned (Revelation 5). The trip north took extra time because of so much road construction - I am so grateful for the wisdom of the LORD. 06.06.07 ~ Often, the LORD sends me as a forerunner, and this trip was no different with THE CALL being in Nashville a month later. Our ministry sent Glory Rings to Brussels Belgium where a Prophetic Conference was also being held on 07.07.07 and to the Philippines where another Worship Conference was being held on 07.07.07. Airports are a unique adventure as I spent 45 minutes at the security gates being shifted from gate 7, to gate 6, to gate 8, to gate 9. I am wondering if there is a shift of some kind coming in the spirit realm? During a flight there are usually changes: the gate, the arrival time, the departure time, the pilot, the plane, seat changes and/or security gates. This is the first time that I have flown and everything was changed. In my spirit I knew that the LORD would be changing many things and to remain immediately obedient and flexible. On the last leg of the journey from Las Vegas to Nashville, I was flying on a plane named, Shamu. The pilot introduced himself and then spoke, "You're on Shamu. How does it feel to be on the inside of a whale?" Immediately, I asked the LORD, is this a Jonah Journey? Smiles. 06.07.07 ~ In the evening, Joyce Breazeale and I met Liz Odum and Robin Hardin, the Lebanon, TN Workshop hosts for dinner. Gratefully, the LORD provided this time for the final planning of the workshop and sweet fellowship. 06.08.07 ~ The LORD showered us with an expression of HIS Holy Glory ~ thunder, lightning, hail and large rain drops as well as showering me with many gifts while I was in Tennessee. In the late afternoon, Robin, Liz and I met to set-up and pray for the workshop. In the evening we went to Hartsville, TN for a Shabbat Evening with Yochanan and Hannah Ben Yehuda (www.galileeofthenations.com). Delightfully, I was privileged to connect with some HGRM intercessors and Tennessee friends at this gathering, as well as meet new people. 06.09.07 ~ Lebanon, TN - Beginning Glory Ring Workshop held at Gateway of Hope Christian Center with ten women from six different cities. When we arrived on Saturday morning there was a large silver watering trough being filled in the sanctuary for the next day's baptism. Of course, we poured oil in the southern country style baptism. We were blessed to have Ronda and Tonya both expecting sons within the four weeks following the workshop. It was a privilege to pray for their forth coming sons.
It is always a joy when the angels appear, the worship is deep and sweet, the anointing is overflowing and the peace of YESHUA covers it all. The Lebanon Workshop will always be affectionately remembered as the "resurrection workshop" as it was cancelled on Monday the 4th of June due to lack of registrations and then resurrected by the LORD before Monday Evening passed due to the faithful intercession of HGRM Prayer Warriors. There is always warfare when the people of GOD come together to worship in spirit and in truth.
06.10.07 ~ In the morning, we attended Love's Way Community Church and out to a lovely lunch near Mt. Juliet. In front of our parking space was a large sign on an empty store front: COMING SOON! JUSTICE! May the LORD fill the earth with HIS HOLY JUSTICE! As we were leaving the shopping mall area, the car physically tilted to the left, then settled for just a second or two, then tilted to the right, then settled again. I thought Tennessee had unusually large speed bumps...then Joy asked me, if that was an earth quake. I usually get very nauseous before an earth quake and I felt fine, so I said, "No, that was a shift, the atmosphere of heaven has shifted earth." We were both rather wide-eyed over the experience. I asked Joy, "Where are we?" and she answered, "Providence." I said, "Providence has shifted!" Later that evening we looked up the words Providence: The Ordering of GOD and Shift: a divine exchange. We fellowshipped at The Ridge Christian Fellowhship for the evening service with Pastor Dennis Ruba. A very anointed and blessed time of worship. 06.11.07 ~ In the morning, I refurbished/repaired two Glory Rings and then in the afternoon, Liz Odum treated me to a lovely lunch and the joy of meeting her beautiful family. The time was a sweet afternoon of prayer and fellowship. In the evening was the Lebanon Aglow Board meeting at Joy's home. 06.12.07 ~ Mary Ellen McFadden and I went to Love's Way for the Tuesday Morning Community Prayer. Mary Ellen is the worship leader and Pastor Bob Evans opened the door for me to share briefly. Then he opened the floor and Tonja Smith (visiting from North Carolina) mentioned that on Sunday, there was this "Shift in the atmosphere" near Mt Juliet by the Providence Shopping Center. Of course, then I shared the experience that Joy and I had. Only ELOHIM! Arnold and Tonja Smith were just one of ADONAI's many divine appointments for this trip. In the early afternoon, Freedom Headrick, her grandson, Eli and I began our journey to Huntland, TN on the Alabama/Tennessee border. Eli (age 11) gave me a prophetic word. "Your weapons are a bow and arrow, the fastest rapier and a spear. The LORD gave you the fastest rapier because you are quick yourself." We stopped by Victor and Teesha's for a delightful late lunch in Shelbyville: The Walking Horse Capital of the World. (In my very dry sense of humor this is so funny to me because I am from Albany, Oregon: The Grass Seed Capital of the World....and what do horses eat? Grass/Hay - So I pray the LORD has sent me with food for the hungry!) Signs along the way: Monteagle, Eagleville, The Point of the Spear, Jericho Walls. Freedom, Teesha and I head south to Huntland and pass a sign: "Jericho Walls." As the LORD gave me the city of Jericho to speak about that evening, I was very curious about Jericho Walls (http://www.outdooralabama.com/outdoor-alabama/woj.pdf) and was delighted to find out that Freedom and Teesha had been to Jericho Walls and anointed the place with oil - PTL! Then we passed a sign: Alligator Tails, Frog Legs, Crawfish (it was positioned on a restaurant not a fishing boat)...So I asked the obvious. Yes, they eat alligator tails, frog legs and crawfish. It is called: Frog Gig gin - where one takes a little miniature fork with three tines and catches the frog in a pond in the middle of the night...yes, they do fry the legs and eat them. Then Freedom explained a Crawfish Boil (pronounced bawl)....gratefully we arrived and I missed the part about Alligator Tails....remember I am English. Smiles. The doors of liberty and freedom in the spirit were wide open at New Covenant Outreach Church in Huntland, TN. Praise God! Teesha brought worship flags and Patti Reynolds, who I met at the Aglow Conference in 2005, led worship! Oh JESUS do come! When I had finished ministering the word, Freedom mentioned to Pastor Linda Cox that I might like to minister to the people. It was complete joy to minister in prayer living room style for YESHUA's eternal glory. Following the service, we prayed over the city and then fellowshipped at the Waffle House until midnight.
06.14.07 ~ Teesha brought hand-picked farm fresh eggs to Freedom's in the morning so that we could enjoy omelet's ~ that is very southern hospitality. The Holy Spirit poured abundantly HIS sweet anointing, deep revelation and holy insight during our morning worship and prayer time. Freedom had made a Glory Ring in 2005 that I gave a prophetic word over...it is always so sweet to watch how HE adds to that which HE is doing in our lives. We headed back to Lebanon about 1:30 p.m. in the afternoon stopping at a Thrift Store that supports in Murphreesboro and were blessed to find embroidery hoops for Glory Rings for 19 cents each. PTL! I do not know how many hours or miles Freedom drove but I am always very grateful for an anointed minister of the LORD that enjoys driving. Liz delivered a bag of Glory Ring supplies from a woman who attended the June 9 workshop as a gift to the June 16 White House - that is Tennessee hospitality at its best: giving generously to bless others without accolades or fanfare. Three others also brought Glory Ring supplies by Joy's home while I was in Lebanon. The evening held mid-week service at Love's Way Community Church. 06.15.07 ~ Barbara Gibson and I spent the late morning and early afternoon over lunch at the Castle Heights Chop House in Lebanon with a smidgen of shopping to close our blessed time together. It was a day of sweet refreshing and renewing in the spirit not to mention an amazing decadently rich chocolate desert served on the veranda under the palm tree. Oh sweet JESUS! Susan Wiser picked me up in the early evening and we headed toward White House and there enjoyed a family dinner at a local restaurant known as "MoMo's"....it seemed funny to me since one of the Famous Oregon Coast Restaurants is "Mo's"....perhaps a double portion! 06.15.07 ~ Susan and I spent the day preparing for the workshop. Susan grilled vegetables and chicken on the barbeque in the hot humid summer evening. The best grilled vegetables I have ever tasted. Fresh garden vegetables basted with olive and teriyaki sauce...mmmm! After dinner we went to Melinda's to pray ~ such a divine and anointed time with the LORD. Then we arrived at the Police Station about 10 p.m. to set up for the workshop. 06.16.07 ~ White House Beginning Glory Ring Workshop with 14 people from 9 cities. Something happened at this workshop that has never happened before and I hope I will be able to share it effectively. During a Glory Ring Workshop there is always the presence of angels. You may notice the light orbs in the photographs - that is one way they express themselves in the earth's realm under camera lights. Usually each person has a guardian angel in addition to the worshipping angels, ministering angels and warring angels. Over the years, the Holy Spirit has taught me how to facilitate workshops without being distracted by their presence. During the second half of the morning while I was teaching on worship, someone inquired as to why there is no "sit" listed among the worship postures. Briefly, I explained that in the OT when people came to worship they stood during the entire service. The Orthodox Christian Church still practices this today. This was in an era before pews and wheelchairs. The word "sit" in the OT refers to prophetic words, judgments and the counsel of the elders as noted in the Book of Ruth and the testimony of Deborah among many other places. Obviously, it is not "wrong" to sit in the presence of the LORD but sitting is not the same as bowing or kneeling in the physical or the spiritual realm. I became almost blinded by the angelic movement in this workshop. The workshop notes that I was teaching from became very blurry and I was completely overwhelmed by the thick angelic atmosphere. While I was answering the above question about "sit" in worship, 26 angels appeared and stood in two lines behind the 13 chairs. They were talking to me, interrupting me, laughing, etc. and I simply did not know what to do. It was so uncommon for them to make such a stir at a workshop. They stood very uniformly all in the same garments of white light with a gold belt and a jeweled silver sword. They were certainly of military assignment. Then as if on command the first row of angels filed to my right and walked in a straight line and stood in front of the chairs. Now there are angels behind and angels in front of the guests at the workshop. Is that an angel sandwich? I could not see the guests. The angels stood just a little longer than I would have liked but it seemed the guests were not upset at my interrupted teaching style. Then on divine command and in completely perfect unison the front row of angels sat down cross-legged on the floor in front of the chairs. The second row of angels took a single step forward in precise unity and placed their hands on their swords - ready for dispatch. The fire of GOD was overtly present. Later that day the Holy Spirit downloaded what HE was doing during the angelic movement. On Pentecost 2007 - May 23, 2007 I made new anointing oil - HIS KINSMAN REDEEMER HOLY ANOINTING OIL! In the book of Ruth, Boaz is the Kinsman Redeemer bringing redemption and justice to Naomi and Ruth. YESHUA, is our Kinsman Redeemer bringing redemption and justice to our lives. When the angels sat in front of each person, the LORD was speaking very loudly that HE is bringing HIS redemption and justice to each person's circumstances (and their family) in the room according to HIS will, way and purposes for HIS eternal glory. As with all gifts...they must be received.
For me personally, YESHUA, is more present, more tangible, more real than any human being. Often when I am ministering I will see HIM standing in the back interceding for me - how grateful I am for HIS presence. When I am ministering, often I will say, "Jesus come" which HE knows that I need HIM to come closer and divinely touch, heal, deliver, impart, anoint, release as only HE can do. I so believe in just ONE TOUCH from JESUS CHRIST! Some of us gathered at Hollywood Grill for lunch and then we returned to the Afternoon Session of the Workshop. The LORD has remained faithful beyond my comprehension for over 10 years of releasing prophetic words over Glory Rings. HE IS ONE AMAZING KING! There was a theme of "four" in this workshop. Corinna had four roses on her ring, Sarah had four red ribbons, Arnold had four feathers...and there were four trees outside the building. Four is about the four winds of the earth, the four corners of the earth, the fullness of the Holy Spirit moving over the earth.
After the workshop, Debra, Betsy, Susan and I went to dinner at the Olive Garden...seemed like the prophetic thing to do. Smiles. After dinner, Susan and I drove north to the Kentucky border to pray and pour out oil. The LORD was giving us keys in the spirit realm and we stood on the corner stone of JESUS CHRIST. Then we stopped by other strategic locations and poured out oil and prayed according to the unction of the Holy Spirit for the revelation of JESUS CHRIST, our Messiah become fully known. 6.17.07 ~ Susan and I attended the White House Church of God where I met Pastor Theresa Combs. The afternoon and evening held preparations for the Children's Workshop. 6.18.07 ~ We gathered at the White House Church of God for the Children's Workshop. Our ministry gives the registration fee and offering to a local ministry. Facilitated by Jerry and Opal Lee, the Just As I Am (www.JustAsIAmFoundation.org) of Goodlettsville, TN - a non-profit organization for the benefit of disabled children received our offering.
After the Children's Workshop we went to local restaurant and I was verbally processing the workshop with Susan. The spiritual atmosphere at the church was not what I usually experience at a workshop. Obviously, as indicated in the photos, the angels were present. So, I began inquiring of the LORD and asked Susan if I could go pray over the property. She was in complete agreement and as the heaven's down-poured, Susan acquired a box of Kosher Mediterranean Sea Salt, Bottled Spring Water, 4 small bottles of Vineyard Cabernet Red Wine and Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain. Susan dropped me off at the back side of the property where I prayed, poured out the entire box of salt (healing), the four bottles of wine (new covenant and consecrated to the LORD, forgiveness, repentance, etc), the Olive Oil (anointing breaks the yoke, curses and bondages), the Bottled Spring Water (Holy Spirit) and all the change (coins) from my hand bag (LORD change this place for YOUR eternal glory). When I was finished with the assignment from the LORD, I knocked on the Pastor's door and with an offering in hand (to break the financial curses) I met with Pastor Theresa and shared what I had heard from the LORD and how I prayed. Susan joined us and we shared for a brief bit of time, then we left to go prepare for a Hebrew Class that Susan attends on Monday Evenings. Once again, I find myself quickly packing and on the road in record time. Karen Johnson (www.olivetreeconnections.com) was teaching the class of 12-14 people. Karen asked me to minister in prayer to those in attendance. Oh Sweet Jesus! It was a very divine and profound time in HIS sweet anointed presence. 6.19.07 ~ In the morning, I worked on the ministry web site and answered emails. In the afternoon Joy and I went to Love's Way Community Church for a TV interview with the Love Network ~ A Local Channel 6. It was a great learning experience. We then met Carolyn and Mary Ellen for the farewell dinner before the local Lebanon Aglow Meeting. I worshipped danced with my new eagle wings flags during the evening offering while Kathy Junker of Lafayette signed prophetically. Sweet delight in HIS Kingdom Advancement on the earth. There were many, many "good-bye" hugs to so many that I was privileged to meet, see, enjoy and fellowship with on this journey. 6.19.07 ~ As I am leaving Tennessee: my home away from home at "o-dark-thirty" - gratefully the suitcases were not weighed as I am sure they were over the weight limit ~ most assuredly the kindness of GOD. I am traveling home with a new suitcase as one of them did not survive the arrival flight. During the 4-hour layover in Kansas City, MO I was looking forward to some computer time - still trying to catch up - a black computer screen is the answer. The other suitcase did not survive the home flight and gratefully my daughter, Angela and new grandson, Caleb pick me up at PDX and I have the sweet privilege of spending a few hours with them before the return journey to Albany, Oregon. It has been over five years since I have taken a two-week ministry trip. Obviously, there are many, many people who give of their time, finances, gifts and talents to facilitate this extensive of a ministry journey. Surprising me almost daily, the LORD continued to open unexpected doors of ministry throughout the two weeks. Gratefully, the HGRM Covenantal Prayer Shield remains ever faithful in their righteous prayers that tips the prayer bowls in heaven releasing the favor and grace of ELOHIM over my life. In HIS eternal grace and glory! Jennifer Lynn Joy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
