There were no dreams or visions with this near death adventure, but it did keep me aware and thankful for my walk in faith.

My brother, Glenn, and I would go to the Buffalo river in summer to swim. It was right off my elderly cousin, Juanita’s property. There were cliffs on her side of river that we could jump, one had nice deep area to swim and jump. The other side shallowed up to three feet or so with rocky bank.

Glenn would always swim in first to check bottom for jagged rocks or limbs. Then we could have fun. This time my cousin Clay was with us, visiting from south Georgia. He was a year older than Glenn who was 15.

We had been playing for couple of hours when a neighborhood family came to camp across from us. There were six of us in the shallow part of river and we decided to play chicken. Smallest would get on larger kids back to try and knock the other person off.

Since I was rather small at age 12 knocking me off was no chore. I was feeling tired and decided to float down river a bit to where it becomes a Y. I wanted to kick off bottom to catch my breath. When I started going down I realized I had gone more than six feet. I started feeling sand and dirt near my thighs. I was in a sinkhole. This river was known for them.

I quickly fought my way to top of water. The other kids were still playing. No one realized I was missing. I swam back up stream and did not do that again. I realized that was a brush with death and I had been blessed.

My teammates referred to me as Mrs. Mario Andretti. The reason for this name was because I could hug curves on hilly road in Tennessee like a race car driver.

I worked two jobs at this time in my early 20’s. My husband was in school and had to study, which I agreed it was more important for him to finish school than work. This agreement put pressure on me to succeed as the financial provider.

My nighttime job was in sales, and that was the job I was on when accident occurred. I had been to customer’s house way out in country and it was getting late. This was in winter and there were ice patches on road. I had been on this road numerous times and knew it well. Yet this night was very different.

As I was coming up a hill on a curve my car, a Hyundai Sonata, began to hydroplane on small two lane country road. This road was very curvy and hilly. In the distance of my spinning I saw headlights far off. I prayed “Lord please allow me to only hurt myself, not someone else.”

Right after those words left my lips my car began spinning in parking lot of an old church right on curve. I could not do anything. I had lost all control, basically passenger at this time. All of a sudden my car started going in reverse and rear ended up backing into a huge oak tree. After I gained some composure I attempted to get out of my door. It took me a couple of times to open. I assessed the car and finally looked at rear where trunk of Sonata was wrapped around the tree. Thinking this is not good I wanted to pull up to assess the damage.

I attempted to crank, which took a few times. I pulled forward and got out to reassess the damage. There was a piece of tree perfectly in exhaust pipe, as a short limb. I could not get out. The lights from the car that had been up ahead pulled into parking area. The man asked if I needed any help. I said no, all I wanted to do was go home.

The man interrupted my train of thought. I was trying to figure out where the church came from because I had never seen and greater still how was I able to crank car with something in exhaust. I immediately left parking lot and when I got to side road pulled over to assess again. I was 15 miles out of town. I kept looking back thinking somehow air was getting through or the car would have blown up.

All I kept praying was please Lord allow me to get home. When I got to town the road came behind Tennessee Tech college campus. A cop had another wrecked car pulled over close to red light. I made it through and was about to pass my office where I worked. My right rear tire blew in front of office complex. I begged “please Lord don’t let me break down here, I cannot let them see my car.” I was ashamed, even though the road was icy. I was embarrassed.

Again all I wanted to do was go home. I was able to pull into office complex beside where I worked next to gas station. Shame on me with coworkers and husband. But I did get to go home.

My insurance company sent agent to our town to assess the damage. He walked around car and asked how far away was accident. I advised about 15 miles out on country road. He said, “that was a miracle.” He said, “No way should I have been able to crank the car, much less drive.” I did not have on seatbelt. My car door was only door that opened. The other three doors had been warped shut. He looked at me and my husband and advised, “you truly lived a miracle, he said there was only a small pinhole in exhaust.” That was reason car did not explode, but he said even with that pinhole it should have exploded.

I knew I had lived through another miracle.

This was not a dream with action, only vision of totaled car, crushed from the front towards the dashboard. This was all I was given and did not sink in until after accident that Yahweh showed me exact car.

The evening before my 17th birthday a young man, Dondi, from the county next door asked me out. We had only seen each other twice and both times close to my birthday a year and two years before. His best friend, Greg, had started dating a good friend of mine, Tammy. So this is how our reconnection began.

Dondi had called to ask me out that following Friday. He wanted us to join Greg and Tammy at the football game between our two counties, Berrien and Cook. He wanted to see me before going out, Thursday night. I had plans on my birthday so suggested Wednesday.

He came over and we hung out, played pool and talked. It was nice seeing him again. He said he owned Chrysler Cordoba like my parents, same silver color. He said he didn’t know if it would be ready for him to take me out Friday. He was having some work done.

That night he was in his stepfather’s car, blue 1965 Mustang. He said if his car was not ready he would take me out in this vehicle. I was happy either way.

Since Wednesday night went well he picked me up in Mustang Friday night to go to game. Greg was with us, Tammy was in the band and would be joining us after game. I can still remember when dressing that night to make sure there were no holes in my knee high stockings, in case something happened, accident was in my mind, which yes that was unusual.

During halftime Dondi and I road around talking and we were speaking about a good friend of mine who had died in car accident year before, Reagan. Dondi and I were on same road Reagan died on, and Dondi said do not worry, I am a good driver.

A little before the game ended the four of us drove to Tammy’s house so she could change and we could ride around. Tammy and Greg went inside and Dondi told me how thankful we were together. He kissed me and said he would like to see me again. I agreed and by that time Greg and Tammy were back in car.

We started heading down Valdosta highway and Dondi stopped and said that was not the way he wanted to go. He was talking about taking us to his hometown Adel. Greg and Tammy had stopped talking, Dondi and I assumed they were kissing. I was sitting on pillow between bucket seats next to Dondi.

Dondi had his hand on my left knee, just propped. We were outside Nashville’s city limits. It was dark and we were just about to cross bridge when Dondi said, “Oh No!” I looked up and head lights were headed towards our car. The impact was so quick. I could not have been knocked out but a few seconds, because when I came too everything was in slow motion. Dondi was pushed up into the dashboard. I got out on passenger side and looked down road towards Nashville seeing ten wheel truck way down road and the axel from truck rolling behind.

I looked back in car and realized I could not move Dondi. I looked in back seat and Greg had fallen over Tammy, both knocked out. I gently shook Greg, but he did not come too. I looked in front of us and we had been pushed back from bridge. I could not see anyone it appeared dark. I leaned back on guard rail and started praying, then I heard someone yell out if I was okay. The car in front of us had turned around. I told them assessment of our car. By this time cars, Cook county people were headed home to Adel from football game. The police showed up and tried to secure situation.

The medics got Greg out and awake. He stayed with me until they could get Dondi and Tammy out of left side of car. Greg was in shock, I tried to comfort him since I had been in wreck year before and understood the process. So many people on road, ambulance got Dondi and Tammy out and took to hospital. My mom had arrived and went with Greg and I to hospital.

In emergency room they were doing life support on Dondi. They were working on Tammy and Greg. I was sitting in emergency room beside my mom waiting. After they took Dondi, Tammy and Greg to Valdosta, bigger hospital for trauma, they started looking at me. Getting glass out of my hair, mouth and eyes. The staff could not believe I was sitting in front seat. Because there was nothing wrong with me except deep cut in cheek.

I was only one who went home that night. Mom stayed up praying until 3:50am. She said she finally got peace around 3:30am. Dondi died at 3:55am.

Next day was a blur. My brother went to military school in Alabama and they were playing game in Tallahassee, Florida. Since that was closest game to us we went: my parents, Glenn’s girlfriend at the time, Melinda and me.

We stopped in Adel on the way and went by to see Dondi’s mother. She just kept hugging me and telling me how proud Dondi was to go out with me. He said, “she is good girl mom.” He said, “she is who I want.” Well between accident, Dondi’s death and his mom that was overload for me. I could not fully watch my brother’s game. I kept crying every 15 minutes. I was exhausted by the time we got home.

The next night I was laying in bed and bright lights shown in my bedroom. At first I thought it was my neighbor but the lights were much brighter. Then all of a sudden Dondi walked in front of lights, turned towards me and smiled. Later I understood that was Yahweh’s way of telling me Dondi was okay spiritually, but at that moment I jumped up and turned my light on, freaked me out. I slept with mom and dad for rest of night.

Mom and I had to get pictures of wrecked vehicle and when I saw front of Mustang I froze. The vision of wrecked car came to me. All was planned, mom would be intercessor prayer warrior for Dondi.

Two weeks after accident I was going to my cousins and I would be passing area where Dondi was buried. I decided to stop by. I parked near where grave was located and walked up to Dondi’s graveside. All of a sudden a great wind came out of nowhere. I heard the Lord say “he is not here and he is okay.” I remembered the vision of him walking in front of my bed. The wind was pushing me to my car, it was so hard. When I got in car the door slammed shut and the wind stopped. The Lord said “Never return to this site.” To this day I have never returned.

When I was 16 years old, I had a dream my mother and I had gone to visit my aunt Grace in the hospital. She had just been placed in private room beside ICU.

Mom and I were discussing how aunt Grace had almost died and it was a miracle she was permitted to be in private room. We were standing in front of a big door that would go to her room off ICU. To my right was a nurses station and there were two doctors and two nurses playing on monkey bars, octagon shaped.

As we were talking an orderly walked through door and I woke up.

I woke up to my mom leaning over me asking if I was okay, and she was going to get help at house in front of us. I heard a moaning sound and looked down to see my aunt Grace’s head lying on my hand. I moved my hand, saw her blood all over my hand, and called for my mom.

I remembered how before I dozed off to sleep in front between my mom and aunt, I almost got into back seat to sleep. This was before seatbelt laws. I thought wow it was a blessing I had not.

It was over month before my aunt Grace was moved to private room next to ICU. Mom and I had gone to hospital to visit her. We were discussing how my aunt Grace had just lived miracle. I looked over to right and there were a couple of doctors and nurses talking by nurses station. Just then and orderly opened door we were about to enter. The dream came into my memory.

I stopped mom and said I dreamed this the night of the accident, right before it happened or while it was happening. I explained conversation and nurses station conversation but with monkey bars. I said I did not remember until the orderly opened the door.

This new year the Lord has poured into me the coming plans of our enemy. Well the enemies plans will fail if Yahweh and Yahshua’s remnant and ecclesia stand in UNITY! All that is required to say “WHAT THEY WANT FOR US MUST GO BACK ON THEM, IN THE NAME OF YAHSHUA!”

Thank you Yahweh and Yahshua, Amen and Amen.

Deuteronomy 32King James Version

32 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

² My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

³ Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

⁴ He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

⁵ They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

⁶ Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

⁷ Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.

⁸ When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

⁹ For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

¹⁰ He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

¹¹ As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

¹² So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

¹³ He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;

¹⁴ Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

¹⁵ But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁶ They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

¹⁷ They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

¹⁸ Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

¹⁹ And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

²⁰ And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

²¹ They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

²² For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

²³ I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

²⁴ They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

²⁵ The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

²⁶ I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

²⁷ Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.

²⁸ For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

²⁹ O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

³⁰ How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?

³¹ For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

³² For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

³³ Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

³⁴ Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

³⁵ To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

³⁶ For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

³⁷ And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

³⁸ Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

³⁹ See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

⁴⁰ For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

⁴¹ If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

⁴² I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

⁴³ Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

⁴⁴ And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

⁴⁵ And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:

⁴⁶ And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

⁴⁷ For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

⁴⁸ And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,

⁴⁹ Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:

⁵⁰ And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:

⁵¹ Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

⁵² Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.

Stand in faith with the word of Yahweh through His word and through the prophets.

God’s will is about to be done. The battle has been won, the enemy on earth shall now feel His mighty blow. The battle belongs to the Lord, but we must remain in faith.

Justice is here and Mighty Warriors are fighting next to us for Yahweh and with Yahshua. Amen!

Don’t be afraid, justice must happen for freedom to reign!

The Lord has shown me since 1997 how words make a difference, little words we give no notice, I would say for the average individual: but, and, or, was, is, in, on, etc…..

I was reading the Lord’s Prayer and noticed in the KJV, which I prefer, instead of on, in verse 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. “Thy will be done IN earth,” other versions say ON earth. In would encompass all of the earth, whereas on speaks of a flat surface.
I guess that is why over the years I have chosen KJV, or the Lord has inclined me to this version. Little words can change the whole perspective of a sentence.

Just my thought for the day.

I asked the Lord what do you want me to read this morning and he said just Isaiah 2.

Before and while searching for Isaiah 2, the desire to just sing Hosanna came out. I hate to admit but I did not know the meaning. I did not look it up until after reading Isaiah 2 out loud. As I was reading I was singing Hosanna.

The words in Isaiah 2 are so powerful for what our Yahweh is about to do in this hour. We call it in when we read it out loud.

So singing Hosanna while reading. I did not look up meaning until after reading and it only amplified my experience! Hosanna means “the cry or praise to God” used among the Jews.

Isaiah 2

1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?

Your time has fallen and come to a close. Look up and heed the warning lest your spirit be indisposed.

Isaiah 31:

1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
4 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
6 Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

The Lord amplified through Ruach Elohim this morning Psalm 91:5-6:

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
