Word for the Yakima Valley and Beyond


When I died on the cross, my blood created a covering for you. A covering of
Protection. A covering of Blessing. A covering of Unity. Many are the attacks that have
come against this covering. Many are those that have tried to damage my protection
and to destroy my blessings. But remember this my children, this is my blood that
Covers. This is my power that Blesses. This is my power that Unifies.

Though the stones that come from the depths of the earth are strong and mighty in
the sight of many, know that my blood—liquid, moving, and life-giving—is many times
stronger. It is my blood that unifies and weaves my Church together. It is my blood that
purifies and sustains the life of my children. It is the strands of my blood-soaked Love,
that are woven together, as a net of protection, over my people and over their land;
over their cities and over their families; over their homes and over their hearts. It is my
passion, “The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies [that] will make
this happen!” (Isaiah 9:7b)

In this time and in this place I am moving. As a housewife will shake the crumbs off a
tablecloth after the meal is over, so to I am moving. And just as a housewife can easily
shake off the debris of the former meal, this task is also easy for me to do. Why would
you put a limit on my power? Do I not sustain the entire universe? Did I not defeat
darkness upon the cross?

I am removing the lies and distortions that have held the children of my house in
bondage. Listen for the wind of my Spirit! I am washing my children in the life-giving
water of my Spirit. I am removing their stains with my blood. I am encompassing them
with the warmth of my eternal Love. I am mending the holes that darkness has torn
and chewed into the hearts of my children. I am preparing them to be a table, fit for the
presence of the King of Glory.

My children, do not just look back at the cross, the cross where I was broken and given
for you in Holy Communion. Look ahead to the table of blessing it has become! Come
dwell in my house. Come eat at my table. Come, take my Word, my Communion of
Love, to all those who dwell on this earth.

But my children, you cannot do this alone. No one people, no one group can do this
alone. Only in godly and God-purchased unity can you do this. Do you not know that
my death on the cross paid for the unification of my people into one body? One body
in Me, one body in Holiness. One body in Light. One body in Love. It is my desire and
joy that you seek this unity. Know that I too join with you in this prayer—do not discount
the value of your prayers!

And do not discount the prayers and supplications of the Women of God. Did I not
make human beings in my own image? “In the image of God I created them; male and
female I created them.” (Genesis 1:27b.) The fullness of God contains both; that which
is considered masculine and that which is considered feminine. Am I not the All in
All? Do not discount the strength of your maternal Love, your maternal Courage, your
maternal Hope. I hear the prayers of all my children! I seek and respond to the hearts
of all who desire to do my will. All are worthy to serve in my house. All are worthy to
stand before my throne as priests and as rulers. “My Kingdom come, My will be
done. On Earth as it is in Heaven!”
