The Pain Is Gone! 😲
A few nights ago I was on the phone with a older Christian woman. She mentioned that her knees had been really hurting in the last two weeks and that her legs were very stiff. She has had leg stiffness and knee pain every day for the last year, but although she has been exercising and losing weight, the pain was getting worse not better.
We were both puzzled by this. As we were discussing what she could do to alleviate her pain, I had a sudden inspiration. I asked her, “Have you considered blessing your body each day?” I had heard a friend share this idea last year – the power our words have on our bodies and how we need to honor the body God gave us.
She said, “Yes, I could do that. But I suddenly realized that I need to repent for the way I have not always taken good care of my body in the past.” She started praying right then and there, “Father, I am sorry for not always taking good care of this body you gave me. I am grateful for the way this body has served me and allowed me to do so many things. Please forgive me for times I have misused it.”
Then she began to bless her body and suddenly she saw Pain as a spirit that was tormenting her. So she said, “Pain, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus! Go!”
She finished her prayer and we continued to talk.
Then she stood up to see what was the result of her prayer. She was shocked! She told me, “The pain is gone! Wow!! Thank you, Lord!” Then she sat back down and we talked some more. Then she decided to walk around. Again, she was incredulous, “There’s no more stiffness in my legs – they are SO loose! This is amazing!! Thank you, Jesus!!” 😲😍
It was so much fun to hear her joy! She had been in pain every single day for over a year. Can you imagine how freeing it must have been for the pain to simply leave?
“You know, if someone else had asked me to pray for their body because they were in pain, I would have probably prayed like that for them. But it never occurred to me to pray for my own body that way. Thank you for encouraging me to do that,” she said.
“You’re welcome. Thank you, Lord, for bringing that to mind! I think that’s part of having compassion on ourselves in the same way we would have compassion on someone else,” I replied.
The Lord has been talking to me lately about anticipating His goodness. What does it look like? Can we train our minds to anticipate a good outcome instead of worrying about bad things happening? He has been challenging me to reach out and grasp His goodness. Sometimes it feels easier to have faith for someone else, but right now, He wants me to pay attention and do this for myself. It’s a form of self-compassion – learning to receive His goodness toward me.
What areas of your life is God challenging you to anticipate His goodness toward you? Sometimes we need to start with repenting of Unbelief in His goodness in order to open our hearts up to receiving more from Him. I know I do. Lord, what do you imagine for my future? In what ways is Unbelief in Your goodness holding me back?
Please comment below – your insight might inspire someone else to open their heart to receive more of God’s goodness today!

Water Responds to Love: Jennifer’s Story
I have a very cool story to share with you today! A friend of mine, Jennifer, recently shared this story and I was blown away – this is LOVE in Action!
On this blog we discuss our authority as believers in Jesus Christ. As He is, so are we in this world, right? (I John 4:17) We have authority to help creation prosper and cooperate with the needs of God’s children. Authority comes from knowing who we are as children of God (aka sons of God) and taking our place to help govern the earth as Adam and Eve were commanded to do.
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:26-28 NKJV
The authority we carry comes from Love. Jennifer was learning about this and decided to put it into action. Here’s her story:
My husband built our home in 2018. When he was starting to finish the basement, I heard the Lord say he should wait to finish it off because the basement is going to take on water and there will be damage. I told the Lord, “You know he is not going to listen to me.” Out of fear and not taking responsibility, I kept silent. Every spring when the snow melts, our basement has taken on water and made a mess for me to clean.
In spring of 2023 I repented and said, “Lord, I really should have taken responsibility for that and said something, even if he hadn’t listened to me. What can be done, Lord?” The Lord has led me to speak to the water. Not in a demanding way, but in a loving way. I said, “Water, I really love and appreciate you and you are needed in the earth, but do you think you could go around the basement instead of through it?” I went on to explain that I’m a son of God and how much work it was causing for me – how it was preventing me from having a clean and comfortable home for my loved ones. So far in Spring of 2024, the basement is dry! Praise the Lord!! – Jennifer V., Maine
WOW! I love stories like this because they are so real and practical. She had a mess on her hands EVERY SINGLE YEAR. She was frustrated. She didn’t know what to do. So she asked the Lord and realized she needed to repent for not saying what He told her. She took responsibility and asked the Lord for help and He gave her a creative solution!
This is an exciting time to be alive as more and more people are learning how to work WITH creation as partners in taking care of each other. Creation was made for us and it respects us when we are acting in Love and in accordance with God’s will.
Notice that she did not demand that the water obey her. She honored the water and it’s place. She asked it to simply help her keep her basement dry for her family. I think that’s awesome! I never would have thought of that, would you?
I’m curious as to how this actually happens – that her basement stays dry. Are there angels redirecting the water away from the basement? Is the water itself moving away? Is the soil around the basement shifting so as the snow melts, it runs in a different direction, away from the basement?
Regardless of how it happens, she is thrilled that it IS happening and no more wet basement! Thank you, Lord, for giving us authority as your sons and daughters!
Do you have an experience of talking to creation and having it respond to you? Please share it below! I love to hear these kinds of testimonies because they stretch our faith and help us think outside the box.
Angel appears – Zaps my laptop!
Guess what happened to me the other night? An angel zapped my laptop!
I was in a Zoom meeting with several other people, waiting on God to see what the Lord would show us about Himself and His kingdom. As we did, different members saw us together with Jesus in a garden. Then a door opened and a company of angels started marching out. They were full of Light.
Someone saw Jesus talking to the angels and assigning some of them to each of us. We thanked the Lord for sending them to us, to assist us in establishing His kingdom and His will in the earth.
Suddenly I sensed a very strong presence of an angel right there in my office. He was standing directly in front on me so I turned my head toward him to discern why he was there. Here’s the screen shot from the Zoom meeting. That’s me in the blue shirt with the beach scene behind me, turning my attention away from the screen.
Suddenly my computer started making a LOUD alarming sound that wouldn’t stop! I have never heard a computer make that kind of continuous sound before. I tried pressing the Esc key and then I tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, but it didn’t respond. The screen was frozen and so was my mouse, so I held down the power button until it shut off.
What just happened, I thought. I was sensing a new angel here in my office and suddenly my laptop is freaking out!
I tried to restart my laptop but it was very hot to the touch on the bottom so I shut it down again to let it cool off. I rejoined the meeting on my phone and found out I wasn’t the only one who had experienced problems. Another member of the group also suddenly had tech difficulties and had to shut down her computer and rejoin the meeting using her phone. She also mentioned problems with the sound.
As the meeting continued, I tried to calm down and refocus my attention on the Lord. I asked Him about this new angel. I heard, He is here to serve you. And I saw gold glitter in the space where he had been standing.
The next night I was working on a painting in my office and sensing the angelic realm around me. It was getting late, so I took the dog out for a potty break before heading to bed. As we stepped out the front door, I saw a round rainbow around my front lamp post.
The rainbow was a perfect circle of red on the outside and I looked to see if I could see all 7 colors – they were not in rings, but more like looking inside a crystal prism. They were sparkling and winking and moving, especially the yellow and green. It was so bright and beautiful! I pulled out my phone to try and capture the effect, but it was fading and the phone could not see all the colors I could with my eyes. I noticed the air was cool and very moist. I blinked several times, realizing that seeing this effect was probably not “normal”. Was it the water vapor in the air refracting the light from the lamp post? I looked at other nearby lights on the neighbor’s houses. None of them had this rainbow effect. But the light from them was in a star pattern and they were also twinkling and moving. It was wild!
When I looked back at my lamp post, all I could see was the star pattern. I tried to capture it on my phone’s camera and you can kind of see what I mean.
Energy shifts things in the natural realm. The angel appearing in my office definitely shifted something and freaked out my laptop. By the way, it’s fine now – I’m writing on it right now with no problems. Energy was also shifted in the rainbow effect from my lamp post. Light was being refracted, but why could I only see it around the lamp and not any other lights? It reminded me of the scripture in Revelation 4 where it says there’s a rainbow around the throne of God that sparkles like an emerald.
I’m hoping to get more information about this experience, but for now, I just wanted to share it because it’s not every day that an angel’s appearance zaps your computer! Has anything like this ever happened to you? Feel free to share in the comments below.
By the way, here’s the photo I tried to take of the rainbow circle of light around the lamp – you can see the circle, but not the colors. It was so cool to see the colors! 🌈
I Googled this effect, it’s called corona phenomenon. Sometimes you can see it around the moon at night. Here’s a photo someone captured of a corona around a light post. That’s what mine looked like!
