Dearest Friends,
Blessings and Greetings to all of you!!
IT IS FINISHED!!!!
The "Water Story" Book is Finished!!!
It is now at the printers!!! The book is available Now for sale and ready for mailing next week. I'm very excited to share with you the wonderful stories, places, and people who have joined together to become the Voice of Many Waters praying over America. I began writing in February, and it has taken hours and hours and weeks and weeks to write, edit, and proof the manuscript. There are probably still a few typos lurking in my paragraphs. I will be honest and tell you, I feel quite vulnerable as the book goes out. However, I have still wanted to release the amazing story and some of the funny, true accounts that can only happen when you live "out there" on the road. I don't know how you can help but be blessed and laugh at some of the unusual things that can happen. Many of these stories have never been told and are a realistic glimpse into a life of faith and obedience.
I have titled the book, An Adventure Into the Unknown. It so aptly describes the conception and first three years of what has become known as "The Water Story". I have written the chronicle and documentation of the many places where Joshua and I traveled and prayed across America, and I've endeavored to weave into the account the amazing and incredible stories about Divine Connections, Appointments, Assignments, Detours, Provision, Protection, and Guidance. I am inviting you on a journey with me as I discover and uncover the mysterious ways that the Lord leads us into the unknown realms of faith. I have wanted to write a legacy to honor the Faithfulness of our Heavenly Father as Josh and I traveled vulnerable and innocently across the country. In over three years and driving over 100,000 miles, we did not have an accident or incident crossing the nation into 42 states. During that time, we "lived on the road," out of suitcases and my van, until the Lord graciously allowed us to have a home of our own again in September, 2002, when we moved to Moses Lake, Washington. Most of you know that Joshua joined the Army in March, 2005, and he is currently serving in Afghanistan. In September, 2006, after I was sent back "on the road, again" for 17 months, I settled into Liberty Lake, where I currently reside and love it.
The book itself will be a joy and easy to read. I decided to format and print it as a full page spiral bound book that makes it easy for you to hold open and read. For those of us who need glasses, it is typeset in easy to read print. There are over 200 pages chock full of exciting stories and taking you on a grand tour of America, from "Sea to Shining Sea". I began at the beginning, telling how and why I got started on such a strange adventure, how it grew and developed, and how it has now connected over 200 places across the nation. I have an index and story for each of the 87 places where Joshua and I stood to pray in the years 2000-2002. The waters for the years 2003-2008 are listed in the back of the book, each a story waiting to be written in the days ahead. For those of you who came into the journey later on, it will be fascinating to see what came before you and read the stories behind the waters that joined your own. To those of you who I met during the years 2000-2002, you will be astonished at where your waters have traveled. These, beloved friends, are your waters and your stories. In many accounts, I have named the precious people who came along side Joshua and I, as two unlikely ambassadors to America. These are your stories, and I honor the many unsung heroes whose stories needed to be told and printed.
The cover of the book is very unique. I felt the Lord gave me an idea to allow the front cover to look like water. I chose a beautiful color picture of beautiful, clear blue waters that I captured with my camera when I prayed off the coast of Eastport, Maine, on October 11,2008. It was my honor and delight to step into the fourth far corner of America where I poured in our waters, prayers, and tears of intercession for our nation. As I finished, a small white feather began to float to me on the water. I snapped the picture, and it is on the front cover. I've used a transparency printed with the book title to give it the look and feel of clean, clear water, and I think it's uniquely attractive and inviting. You really can judge a book by its cover, and this one says, "Get your feet wet!"
In an effort to do more than tell wonderful stories, I have formatted the book so it can be used as a training or instruction manual for prayer groups who want to learn about prophetic intercession. There are thirty questions for personal and group discussion. I can visualize the book being read together and utilized by churches and intercessory prayer groups for referencing faith, prayer, perseverance, strategy, and unity. It is a real life story for real life study, inspiration, and discussion. At the back of the book, I have included my biography, a color picture of Joshua and I, and also color pictures of my music CD's and my two booklets available for order.
Because of the book's size and multi-purpose, it is somewhat expensive to print. I'm using a local Staples printer to monitor inventory until all the 'bugs' are worked out. I have ordered the first 100 which will be available for sale on Monday. Until I have enough funds available to do a larger quantity of printing or find a less expensive means, I feel this is my best option to print orders as they come in. Also, because I am using Staples, I will have access to immediate additional printing anywhere I travel. The cost of the book is $30. At present, half of that is printing expense. After nine years of travel and hours and weeks of patient writing, I hope you understand I can't give the book away. It has cost me dearly, and I want you to see it as an investment into my journey and your own.
In my story about going to Israel in 2000, I wrote about how the Lord impressed me that we were to be in the country for 30 days, as it is the number of maturity. Each priest had to be 30 before they could serve, and of course, Jesus began His public ministry at 30. When Josh and I landed in Israel on October 1, we were smack in the middle of the pending war that began after what became known as the Temple Uprising on September 28, 2000. I remember it because it happened on my birthday. We were faced with the decision to run or stay. By His Grace, we stayed the full 30 days, and we were blessed in many ways. Maturity happens in the midst of an unknown that requires faith and endurance. I think the $30 price will honor and reflect the maturity of the book's vision.
Last year on this date, 7-17-08, the Lord spoke to me about driving to Maine to finish up the fourth corner of America. It looked impossible, impractical, and improbable. However, you will remember, I did it anyway, and the experience of standing in the fourth corner of America as the sun peeked up over the eastern horizon to shine on Eastport, the far northeastern city of our nation, was a day that was unforgettable and profound. This year, I can report the "Maine Mission Accomplished", and the first book on the water story is now completed. What a year it has been!
To help finance the trip to Maine last year, I felt the Lord prompt me to begin to release the waters of America to those who would be willing to support the momentous trip. Several took me up on it. I have not felt I could release them again, until today. Now that the book is ready, you will know exactly what is being offered to you. I think you will catch a vision of the enormity and the preciousness of what has transpired for nine years, and we are truly at a crossroads of crisis in America and the world.
For months, I have been receiving downloads of revelation about water. Some things I would be hesitant to speak or share. Yet in the last few months, international scientific documentaries are saying what I'm seeing. We are in a portal of profound revelation, if we are willing to overcome our fears and open our hearts and minds. I will write more on it later, as I'm given unction and language. Suffice it to say, what looks like a little water has actually become a mighty tool in the Hand of the Master.
If you order the book, the cost is $30. Due to its size and weight, the best option for shipping is a flat rate priority envelope for $4.95. If I purchase large padded mailing envelopes and send it media mail, it would be the same cost and take much longer. The flat rate priority is bare bones shipping and the best and fastest value for the money.
As I've prayed, I feel it is time to release the waters back to America that have been gathered for nine years. You may remember that I said in my last email that the Lord has shown me that the nine years paralleled a pregnancy, as there have been three, three year cycles. At the end of a pregancy, and before a new birth, the waters break... this I believe is meant to allow for us to transition into a new realm and dimension of the Spirit. We are truly in an exciting time.
I would like to put the waters into your hands, so you can take them and pray where the Spirit leads you. If you asked me the most costly possession I have right now, I would point you to several gallons of a composite water that includes all the 87 places I have written about, and all the others I have listed at the back of the book. Last year, I sent you some pictures as I combined all the waters and boiled them for purity. I then rang the 528 Hz tuning fork frequency into the waters. This is the frequency scientists use to repair DNA. I have bottled them in 1 oz small plastic bottles, labeled with the words: "America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee, and Crown Thy Good with Brotherhood, from Sea to Shining Sea". For my own protection and yours, I do not advise drinking the water, and ask you to consider them for prayer purposes only. With the unique blend of fresh and salty ocean waters, they just doesn't taste very good anyway.
Last year, I asked for a donation of $111 for a bottle of the composite waters. Please do not be offended with me. If you only see that as a lot of money for a small bottle of water, you will miss the point and the blessing. You are Not buying the water. I'm asking you to honor the tremendous personal sacrifice that I have paid by honoring the waters themselves. If you happen to google: Masuru Emoto you will find amazing studies on the power of speaking to waters, and how they respond to the human voice and emotion. I realize this is "out there" for some of us, but beloved, we have barely tapped into the astounding revelation that is being released to the church through scientific investigation and documentation. These waters are precious indeed, and frankly, I doubt there is anything of its equal on the planet. I know of no other composite waters that have been gathered to honor the Water of Life, the Holy Spirit, and to seek an understanding of becoming the Voice of Many Waters. Unless you can open your heart and mind to the mystic beauty of gathering water, you will be offended and miss a blessing. Please, beloved friends, do not underestimate or undermine the value of my journey or the incredibly mystic gift in a small package.
As the first 100 books come off the press, I'd like to offer the waters again for a $111 donation. If you wonder why such an unusual amount, you'll find out how it all began in the book. Briefly, since seeing the numbers beginning the summer of 2000, I have called them the numbers of alignment, being in the right place, at the right time, with the right people, for the right purposes. To my amazement, I also learned last year that 111 is the frequency difference of 111 Hz in the ascending tones of the ancient solfeggio scale used in King David's time. They represent an opportunity to arise and call us into perfect pitch, attunement, and harmony in unifying our voices. We are becoming the Voice of Many Waters.
To those precious few who supported the Maine trip last year, I want to replace what you have with the current waters as they contain the additional waters off the coast of Maine that are pictured on the front cover of the new book. Just help me remember who you are, and you will get a double blessing. You helped make it all possible.
For those willing to send a $111 donation for the water, I will give you the book FREE. You can make your checks payable to Selah Ministries, thereby also giving you a tax free donation. If you buy the book by itself, please make the checks payable to me personally, as it will not be counted as a donation. I do accept Visa and MasterCard, or you can go to Paypal.com. I will send the new book and 1 oz bottle of water to you postage paid, for a donation of $111. If you are not able to do the full amount, go together with some others from your prayer group, family, or church. I would also highly recommend the waters for pastors, churches, ministries, and prayer groups to utilize in uniting your hearts and voices through a profoundly simple, yet simply profound means. As I have traveled and anointed people with these waters, many have had unusual and amazing experiences.
May I be real with you? After years of travel and trying to fund ministry trips and personal living expenses off 'love offerings', I'm more in debt than I ever dreamed possible. I'm nearing a "biggie" birthday in September, and I have wept deeply that I have so little to show for so many years of ministry. While I have wonderful friends and connections, the bottom has dropped out financially for many people, just like you and me. When financial crisis comes, donations are usually the first thing to go. If you multiply the ripple effects, you will see that at present, the bottom has also dropped out for most of us in ministry. What has amazed me is that people with steady incomes and means will drop out on even on small donations, somehow expecting me as an older single woman in ministry to have more faith than they do to fill the hole of $10, $20, $50, or even a $100 a month. This has created a crisis in my own life, and one I am required to address realistically. I am not asking for your sympathy in a monthly pledge of money. Frankly, I do not want to take from you what you do not have, or desire to give. I am a giver, not a taker. If and when you give, let it be with joy, and we will both be blessed. We are all weary of games.
While I want to continue with some ministry engagements, I must look at some other options for income. I'll be sharing with you soon an exciting new door that has opened for me to work with the ancient solfeggio tuning forks, frequency, and a sound therapy technique that facilitates natural healing. It is a proven and highly respected technique that is being used all over the country in natural health circles.
So, stay"tuned..."
In closing,
If I have touched your life and you see the beauty and value of gathering the waters, then I want to make those precious waters available to you. The donation of $111 will honor my nine year journey and give you the new book that has been very costly in time and experience. I'm enclosing an attachment listing the waters and showing you some pictures of the small bottles. Also a picture of the new book, "An Adventure into the Unknown" chronicling one of the most incredible journeys you will ever read about. What makes this book so special is that many of you have journeyed with me as well. That is why I have dedicated the book to the wonderful people who have prayed, supported, hosted, and stood with me all over America. I honor you, and I honor the Lord of Hosts Who sent me forth and has kept me these nine years later.
Be blessed, my beloved friends, and let me hear from you soon.

Dearest Friends,
Blessings to all of you. May our Gracious and Loving Heavenly Father securely hold and keep each of you in His love and care.
I have several urgent matters I want to share with you. Don't worry, it's not about money.
For several days, I've been deeply stirred about a sequencing of events and prophectic numbers that I believe are signs of a major shift about to happen. I am not an alarmist and in fact, I dislike all the warnings and threats that come thru emails and 'doomers' to keep people's nerves frazzled and wear out the saints. They eventually lead to the hardening of our hearts and shutting our ears just to survive and try to live a normal life. This is not that.
However, I do feel the Lord wants to give us a "heads up". What this means is to "Lift up your head, for your Redemption draweth near". I'm not talking about a rapture and escaping what is to come. I have serious doubts that the theories we have imagined and merchandized is what is on the Lords' heart. While most of the modern church wants to escape and let the world get it's just desserts, the Lord has been faithfully preparing a people and a ordaining a means of escape that will lift us out of 'normal' Christian lives and cause us to ascend into a realm of Glory and Power that will affect change in the earth. I believe He wants us to live enraptured and captured by His love and joy and righteousness in the realm of the Kingdom of Heaven. "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, On (in) Earth, As It Is In Heaven... His Kingdom is within us and is about to burst forth with the full glory of a new creation. It is coming about through transformation and that is what I want to share with you.
Over two years ago, I began to see a certain number frequently. Many of you have had experiences with prophetic numbers and know that it is a wonderful way the Lord speaks to us. Our entire world is built on the reliability of mathematics and God loves numbers so much, we have a book called Numbers in the Bible. Moses wrote "Teach us to number our days". I'm glad we can always count on numbers... pun intended.
The number the Lord keeps blinking to me is 212. I'm going to share several key stories with you to show you how He has been highlighting this number to me and what I feel it is speaking presently to us. Keep in mind we are only three days away from 2-12, or February 12, which is why I'm sensing an urgency to give you a "heads up" that something very important is about to happen. Any warning to us is not to get distracted or nullify what He is saying just because we might not understand it completely, or he doesn't speak to you that way. He has watchmen to see what is coming and to declare it to you. So, hear my heart and if I have gained your confidence as a watchman, read carefully and prayerfully what I believe is a timely and exciting message to us. It is easy to get a yah..yah..yah..ho hum attitude. Ask me how I know. Beloved, let us watch and pray with joy.
The number 212 began to be a enigma in 2006. In September that year, I moved to Liberty Lake, finally getting my things out of storage since the major shift in 2005 when Josh went into the military, and I had to move out. After 17 months of travel, the Lord graciously opened up the door to move to a nearly new apartment in beautiful Liberty Lake. It happened so fast, my head was spinning. My address is 21200 East Country Vista Dr. I realized it later of course and marveled. Recently a lovely lady in Shippensburg, PA told me she always notes the prophetic meaning of people's addresses. When she looked at mine, we both laughed. I live on East Country Vista Drive. Do you know anyone who has driven east across the country more than I have? AND I have certainly enjoyed the vista, the view of America as I have driven east on several country vista drives... Apartment L-104. L for life, liberty, love. 104 or ten-four, a communication for over and out. And right now, I'm set 'a-part and meant' to hear what the Lord desires to say to me and others.
Two years ago on February 12, 2007, Gateway Fellowship in Coeur D Alene hosted a "Quantum Glory" conference beginning it deliberately on 2-12 as it was the anniversary of the Latter Rain Outpouring on 2-12-1948. Last year in 2008, marked the 60th anniversary of a movement that touched the world, brought major shifts and revelation to the church, challenged beliefs, and set the stage for the miracle healing tent meetings of the early 50's. There are many mixed reviews about the outpouring, depending on the resistance of certain religious denominations and doctrines still holding a grudge. However, it was the most powerful move to affect Western Christianity in the last century. I believe one of the keys to genuine revival and reformation is to honor the fathers, mothers and leaders of the last move. Granted they sometimes fight the new move, but some of it is due to the smug attitude of the new generation who discount and disregard the sacrifices made for what is coming forth now for them. No other generation as ours has so dishonored their parents and elderly. On my first trip to the west coast in 2000, the Lord kept highlighting the Latter Rain Movement and I didn't even know what it was. It has been my honor and delight to meet several elderly people who were part of that original move, and I've been deeply grateful for the legacy of faithfulness and testimonies that they have left to us.
After seeing 212 so often, I kept asking the Lord what he was trying to show me. There can be many meanings, but the one he reminded me of one day is that water boils at 212 degrees. That seems appropriate for the 'waterlady'. In other words, what has been visible, is now invisable. What has been liquid turns to steam and escapes the heat. I began to see it as the 'flash point of change' or the number of transformation, for water changes form. As I was pondering on this, I received a email forward with a website link in it called www.simpletruths.com. I rarely, rarely click on those, but for 'some reason' did that day. It took me into a website and the first thing I saw were the huge numbers 212. I was so surprised and immediately checked it out. I learned that it is used as the title for a huge motivational series called 212. The point being that at 211 degrees, nothing happens, but if you go the extra degree, water boils and then steam is produced and steam empowers locomotives... so go the extra degree. I made it known to the leadership at Gateway in CdA for their conference and we all rejoiced that the Lord was dropping us clues right and left. I was also reminded that the scripture says we go from "one degree of Glory to another."
" And all of us, as with unveiled face, continue to behold in the Word of God as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord are constanatly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord Who is One Spirit." (II Cor 3:18)
This very Bible reference speaks of transfiguration or transformation... and that is what is happening.
About the same time, I remembered a scripture reference in Jeremiah 1:11-13. (Amplified version)
"Moreover the Word of the Lord came to me saying, Jeremiah, 'What do you see?'... And I said, 'I see a branch or shoot of an almond tree' (the emblem of alertness and activity, blossoming in late winter)
Then said the Lord to me, 'You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.'
And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, 'What do you see?'
And I said, 'I see a boiling pot, and the face of it tipped away from the north and it's mouth about to pour forth on the south."
Here are some another references:
"Oh, that You would rend the heavens, and that You would come down, that the mountains might quake and flow down at Your Presence. As when fire kindles the brushwood and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make Your Name known to Your adversaries that the nations may tremble at Your Presence." Isaiah 64: 1-2
"He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like foaming pot of ointment." Job 41:31
I also want to draw your attention to the fact that the sacrifices had to be boilied.
"And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tent of meeting, and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecration and ordination, as I commanded saying, Arron and his sons shall eat it." Leviticus 8:31
"Take the choicest of the flock, and burn also the unused bones under it, and make it boil well, and seeth its bones in the pot. Ezekiel 24:5
" And he said to me, This is the place where the priest shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering and where they shall bake the meal offering, to prevent their having to bring them into the outer court, lest they should thereby wrongfully sanctify - separate and consecrate for holy service - the people who are there. Ezekiel 46:20
"These are the kitchens of those who do the boiling, where the ministry of the temple shall boil the sacrifices of the people." Ezekiel 46:24
As you can see my friend, boiling water has a significant place in the Scripture. Anyone feeling cooked yet? I have much better news for you.
Anyone watching the current state of affairs in our government, nation, churches, families, and the world in general know that we have come near to the boiling point. The good news is that the Lord is preparing a way of escape for His people and it will come forth speedily. In a moment as water reaches 212 degrees, the water molecules having been greatly agitated by the intense heat and pressure take flight and escape into steam. I can't help but feel we are about to see a major shift and change that will lift us out what has been and cause us to take flight into a dimension of spiritual reality unlike has ever been known. I'm really at a loss to explain it more fully, but felt the urgency to share with you that the focus on 212 degrees I believe, in part, is pointing to the coming date 2-12. I have had several people mention to me that the Lord is showing them something very important will be happening in February, and I do feel we are to keep alert and watch with an expectant heart and mind and an uplifted face to the Lord. Let it be as the Lord said to Jeremiah, "You have seen well". I do not sense this is a national or political shift or crisis as much as it is a change coming to us individually and corporately, especially those of us who have allowed our flesh to get boiled in the pot of affliction. Many of us are suffering physically, emotionally, and financially and haven't seemed to find any relief or explanation. Could it be the necessary process to get us to the place of complete release of natural limitations that will allow us to be lifted out of this present state of form into a higher dimension of spirit? Something is going on that cannot be explained or rebuked away. What has worked isn't working in the lives of most Christian people I know right now, and I can't help but wonder if we are being prepared for a great transformation and translation that will defy gravity and death. Paul said "this corruptible must put on incorruption and this immortal must put on immortality" I Cor 15:53. While most contribute these verses to a rapture, I can't help but feel the Lord is about to do a supernatural work in His people that will dazzle the world and frazzle the carnal enemy of mankind. At present, we are not able to cope with or challenge and defeat the forces of evil without Supernatural strength, power, and wisdom. Jesus, the head of the body is joined to His body and we will have the Mind of Christ directing our steps and ascent. My friends, Bruce and Reshma Allen of Spokane have been teaching about translation by faith, sometimes known as a 'Phillip trip'. You can access their website at www.stillwatersinternational.com for some amazing pictures and stories or to order tapes. Be sure and click on Third Day Signs and view an amazing picture taken in Coeur D Alene when Bruce was translated to Latvia to pray for a little girl in flat 212.
I am not date setting, but I am telling you that something is up very soon and we just need to look up and keep our heads up and stand up and rise up, for it will only be done in the Power of His Spirit. Human wisdom, will and determination will not win this battle. Regardless of what we feel or see on 2-12 or don't feel or see, we can still come into agreement with the Spirit of the Lord Who is doing a Mighty work in realms beyond our vision.
Another verse that is being highlighted repeatedly is Isaiah 60:1-2.
ARISE (just like steam)... from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you; Rise to a new life; Shine - be radiant with the Glory of the Lord; for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
For behold, darkeness shall cover the earh, and dense darkness all peoples; but the Lord shall arise upon you and His glory shall be see on you.
I am telling you beloved, that an ARISING is coming. The ability to ARISE will not come out of the weakness of our flesh or the determined will of our soul, but the command of the Lord who says, COME UP HERE!!! HE is bringing the change. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye... by the way did you know the word moment is not a moment in time as we have been taught? Rather the Greek word is 'atomos' meaning in the very atoms of our being we will be changed. That is why a great interest is in quantum physics right now and that what we see is made of what we cannot see. We are being renewed in our minds to see and think differently. Some of us have just thrown up our hands and said "I don't get it", but even that simple gesture if it's surrendering to the Lord can be a yielding of the natural mind. We can "get it" inside, even if our minds won't compute.
I want to share a few marvelous personal stories about 212 to encourage your faith and let you see that it has gone beyond ordinary circumstances. Some of this will be a repeat of an earlier email, but it is certainly worth the repeating.
After many weeks of prayer to discern the Lord's will and purpose, I left on Sept 16, 2008 for a "east country drive" with my focus and face set towards Eastport, Maine by Oct 10-11. The details are in past newsletters for the new folks on my email list, so go to the website: www.carlareed.com. I had been in the Seattle area the previous week and on my return trip to Liberty Lake on 9-11, the Glory van registered 144,000 miles; 12 x 12 x 1000 is another important number in scripture as you know and speaks of a governmental people in power and authority. I was on my way back to attend the Healing Rooms Conference in Spokane that night and interestingly enough, I was in Spokane on 9-11-01. After a few days of preparation for what became a 12 week trip on 'east country (vista) drive', I returned on 12-11-08 and my first full day at home was 12-12. What a glorious day it was to be home at last after over 13,000 miles and what a glorious testimony to the Lord's faithfulness to keep me.
When I left on Tues, Sept 16, I quickly recorded my mileage, but didn't really think about it again until I was in Montana about 200 miles and I glanced down and had come 144,404 miles since 9-11, which was only 40 miles away from all 4's. I decided to watch my mileage closely, knowing that soon I would turn 144,444 miles, and I wanted to be sure and stop along side the interstate and take a picture of my odometer. Just as I saw it was registering 144,443 miles, I noticed an off ramp to an exit and suddenly decided to get off I-90 to safely take a picture. When I got to the stop sign at the end of the exit ramp, it still had not turned 144,444 miles which I thought was odd as it should have. Instead of driving to my right or left on a road I didn't want to travel, I began to ease back toward the interstate on the on ramp slowly. It still didn't turn over and by now, I was sure it would have. So, I simply got back on I-90 and waited. Then, I passed mile marker 212 and within a short distance, the odometer turned to 144,444 miles. I stopped, put on my blinkers and snapped several pictures. I was so intense on watching for the whizzing traffic coming from behind me that I still didn't fully comprehend what was happening. As I eased back on I-90, which by the way, I have driven from Seattle to Boston, I was suddenly so aware of the miracle that had just happened. The exit I had driven off was 211 and the oddity of my odometer not turning over had a greater implication. In other words, at 211, nothing happened, but when I passed mile marker 212, the turning happened.
The focal point of Eastport, Maine had to do with it being my 4th corner of America, so 4's and door's were continually before me. Eastport also represented the East(portal) and what I sensed as a portal and opening into America. It is the easternmost city of America, and I had to drive through Perry and the reservation of the Passamaquoddy Indians known as the "People of the Dawn". Here the sun's rays first hit our nation, and as I stood watching the sun come up early that morning of Oct 11, I realized we are set for a MORNING GLORY that is dawning across the land. This is not about politics and governments, it is about a "People of the Dawn" who are ARISING in the earth.
While in Maine, I stayed with the most delightful couple, Richard and Linda Brink, who have pastored in the Oakdale/Waterville area many years. They asked me to share with their ministry school the night I arrived and I talked to them about 212. It spoke to them as well of the needed and coming changes which pressure and boiling circumstances are bringing about. Richard and Linda are key apostolic leaders in Maine and honored me greatly by presenting me with the key to Maine given to them by Chuck Pierce and allowing me to take it to Eastport with me to pray before I returned it to them. How wonderful it is when we work together.
The morning of 10-10 (John 10:10), I awoke with an excitement that could hardly be contained. As I made my way near Interstate 95 towards Bangor and then Eastport, I suddenly noticed a gas station. Without any premediated planning, at the spur of the moment, I quickly pulled into the Shell station to top off my tank. As I was pumping gas, I was startled to look across the pumps to see a man filling up a red Trans Am. His Maine license plate had three numbers - 212. I was stunned and quickly tried to take his picture without being noticed, and then I called Linda Brink to tell her and I wasnt' even out of town yet. As I filled my tank, I recorded my mileage and noted I had come 211.6 miles since the day before when driving up from Massachuesetts. That meant just as I pulled onto I-95, my mileage turned to 212 from the day before. I cleared it again and started north with such a sense of Divine destiny and purpose as I drove towards Eastport. The fall foliage was optimum and the beauty of color dotted the landscape with breathtaking views that made me want to stop and take pictures at every turn in the road. About 50 miles before reaching Eastport, my odometer turned to 148,888 miles, which meant that since the day of my encounter in Montana on Sept 16, I had come 4,444 miles. Now, how could you call all that coincidence? Why the focus on 212?
One other unique happening occured as I left Fredericksburg, VA on the morning of 11-1. I was driving to Marlton, New Jersey to speak the next day and spend a few days. I had to come around the Washington, DC beltway and felt it was timely as the elections would be held on 11-4. While in Eastport, Maine, I had felt to pray strongly and cry out against the election of Obama, and it happened again as I drove around Washington, DC. When I got into New Jersey, I decided to pull off into the Visitor Center rest area, stretch, and gather some information. When I got back in the van and began to drive, I realized I was just about to have come 212 miles and it was 2:12 in the afternoon. They both synchronized for about 10 miles before traffic or construction slowed me down and I had to exit. Once again, my attention was being focused on 212.
A few days ago, I talked to somone about it on the phone. Then I jumped up to get a drink of water and it was 2:12 in the afternoon and it happened the next day as well at the same time.
Another major focus for 2-12 is that it is Abraham Lincoln's birthday and there is a huge emphasis on Lincoln this year, including Obama's use of the Lincoln Bible to promote his image as a liberator. I hardly think Lincoln would approve of Obama's abortion agenda. It seemed like a sacrilege to me.
A matter of interest is that I spent 12 days in November in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania participating in some meetings with David and Becky Van Koevering. We went to the Lincoln Diner in Gettysburg to eat after the meetings and it was positioned near the train tracks that took Lincoln to deliver the Gettysburg address. We are surely seeing the signs of another civil war looming in America. Lincoln is so known for liberty and freedom and once again, we see the parallels with his birthday on 2-12. It seems rather odd I would spend 12 days in the Gettysburg area. And of course, don't forget I live in "Liberty" Lake.
For a few days, I have felt the Lord prompting me to email you and let you ponder these things in your hearts. He is bringing comfort to us in many ways and wants you to know that even though the heat has been turned up and you feel you're at the boiling point, He is providing a way of release and escape. I don't think it will be like anything we have seen before.
"Thou O Lord, art a shield about me, my Glory, and the LIFTER of my head." Psalms 3:3
"Love lifted me, love lifted me, when nothing else could help, love lifted me" Hymn
Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you age abiding doors; that the King of Glory may come in..." Psalms 24:7
You get the idea. Keep your eyes, head, face, hands, voice and heart lifted up. Remember He is the God of the LIFT. If you reference all the scriptures, it can't help but "lift" you.
My love to all of you. Keep me in your prayers and heart. Selah.

Dearest Friends,
Blessings to all of you. May our Gracious and Loving Heavenly Father securely hold and keep each of you in His love and care.
I have several urgent matters I want to share with you. Don't worry, it's not about money.
For several days, I've been deeply stirred about a sequencing of events and prophectic numbers that I believe are signs of a major shift about to happen. I am not an alarmist and in fact, I dislike all the warnings and threats that come thru emails and 'doomers' to keep people's nerves frazzled and wear out the saints. They eventually lead to the hardening of our hearts and shutting our ears just to survive and try to live a normal life. This is not that.
However, I do feel the Lord wants to give us a "heads up". What this means is to "Lift up your head, for your Redemption draweth near". I'm not talking about a rapture and escaping what is to come. I have serious doubts that the theories we have imagined and merchandized is what is on the Lords' heart. While most of the modern church wants to escape and let the world get it's just desserts, the Lord has been faithfully preparing a people and a ordaining a means of escape that will lift us out of 'normal' Christian lives and cause us to ascend into a realm of Glory and Power that will affect change in the earth. I believe He wants us to live enraptured and captured by His love and joy and righteousness in the realm of the Kingdom of Heaven. "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, On (in) Earth, As It Is In Heaven... His Kingdom is within us and is about to burst forth with the full glory of a new creation. It is coming about through transformation and that is what I want to share with you.
Over two years ago, I began to see a certain number frequently. Many of you have had experiences with prophetic numbers and know that it is a wonderful way the Lord speaks to us. Our entire world is built on the reliability of mathematics and God loves numbers so much, we have a book called Numbers in the Bible. Moses wrote "Teach us to number our days". I'm glad we can always count on numbers... pun intended.
The number the Lord keeps blinking to me is 212. I'm going to share several key stories with you to show you how He has been highlighting this number to me and what I feel it is speaking presently to us. Keep in mind we are only three days away from 2-12, or February 12, which is why I'm sensing an urgency to give you a "heads up" that something very important is about to happen. Any warning to us is not to get distracted or nullify what He is saying just because we might not understand it completely, or he doesn't speak to you that way. He has watchmen to see what is coming and to declare it to you. So, hear my heart and if I have gained your confidence as a watchman, read carefully and prayerfully what I believe is a timely and exciting message to us. It is easy to get a yah..yah..yah..ho hum attitude. Ask me how I know. Beloved, let us watch and pray with joy.
The number 212 began to be a enigma in 2006. In September that year, I moved to Liberty Lake, finally getting my things out of storage since the major shift in 2005 when Josh went into the military, and I had to move out. After 17 months of travel, the Lord graciously opened up the door to move to a nearly new apartment in beautiful Liberty Lake. It happened so fast, my head was spinning. My address is 21200 East Country Vista Dr. I realized it later of course and marveled. Recently a lovely lady in Shippensburg, PA told me she always notes the prophetic meaning of people's addresses. When she looked at mine, we both laughed. I live on East Country Vista Drive. Do you know anyone who has driven east across the country more than I have? AND I have certainly enjoyed the vista, the view of America as I have driven east on several country vista drives... Apartment L-104. L for life, liberty, love. 104 or ten-four, a communication for over and out. And right now, I'm set 'a-part and meant' to hear what the Lord desires to say to me and others.
Two years ago on February 12, 2007, Gateway Fellowship in Coeur D Alene hosted a "Quantum Glory" conference beginning it deliberately on 2-12 as it was the anniversary of the Latter Rain Outpouring on 2-12-1948. Last year in 2008, marked the 60th anniversary of a movement that touched the world, brought major shifts and revelation to the church, challenged beliefs, and set the stage for the miracle healing tent meetings of the early 50's. There are many mixed reviews about the outpouring, depending on the resistance of certain religious denominations and doctrines still holding a grudge. However, it was the most powerful move to affect Western Christianity in the last century. I believe one of the keys to genuine revival and reformation is to honor the fathers, mothers and leaders of the last move. Granted they sometimes fight the new move, but some of it is due to the smug attitude of the new generation who discount and disregard the sacrifices made for what is coming forth now for them. No other generation as ours has so dishonored their parents and elderly. On my first trip to the west coast in 2000, the Lord kept highlighting the Latter Rain Movement and I didn't even know what it was. It has been my honor and delight to meet several elderly people who were part of that original move, and I've been deeply grateful for the legacy of faithfulness and testimonies that they have left to us.
After seeing 212 so often, I kept asking the Lord what he was trying to show me. There can be many meanings, but the one he reminded me of one day is that water boils at 212 degrees. That seems appropriate for the 'waterlady'. In other words, what has been visible, is now invisable. What has been liquid turns to steam and escapes the heat. I began to see it as the 'flash point of change' or the number of transformation, for water changes form. As I was pondering on this, I received a email forward with a website link in it called www.simpletruths.com. I rarely, rarely click on those, but for 'some reason' did that day. It took me into a website and the first thing I saw were the huge numbers 212. I was so surprised and immediately checked it out. I learned that it is used as the title for a huge motivational series called 212. The point being that at 211 degrees, nothing happens, but if you go the extra degree, water boils and then steam is produced and steam empowers locomotives... so go the extra degree. I made it known to the leadership at Gateway in CdA for their conference and we all rejoiced that the Lord was dropping us clues right and left. I was also reminded that the scripture says we go from "one degree of Glory to another."
" And all of us, as with unveiled face, continue to behold in the Word of God as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord are constanatly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord Who is One Spirit." (II Cor 3:18)
This very Bible reference speaks of transfiguration or transformation... and that is what is happening.
About the same time, I remembered a scripture reference in Jeremiah 1:11-13. (Amplified version)
"Moreover the Word of the Lord came to me saying, Jeremiah, 'What do you see?'... And I said, 'I see a branch or shoot of an almond tree' (the emblem of alertness and activity, blossoming in late winter)
Then said the Lord to me, 'You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.'
And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, 'What do you see?'
And I said, 'I see a boiling pot, and the face of it tipped away from the north and it's mouth about to pour forth on the south."
Here are some another references:
"Oh, that You would rend the heavens, and that You would come down, that the mountains might quake and flow down at Your Presence. As when fire kindles the brushwood and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make Your Name known to Your adversaries that the nations may tremble at Your Presence." Isaiah 64: 1-2
"He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like foaming pot of ointment." Job 41:31
I also want to draw your attention to the fact that the sacrifices had to be boilied.
"And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tent of meeting, and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecration and ordination, as I commanded saying, Arron and his sons shall eat it." Leviticus 8:31
"Take the choicest of the flock, and burn also the unused bones under it, and make it boil well, and seeth its bones in the pot. Ezekiel 24:5
" And he said to me, This is the place where the priest shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering and where they shall bake the meal offering, to prevent their having to bring them into the outer court, lest they should thereby wrongfully sanctify - separate and consecrate for holy service - the people who are there. Ezekiel 46:20
"These are the kitchens of those who do the boiling, where the ministry of the temple shall boil the sacrifices of the people." Ezekiel 46:24
As you can see my friend, boiling water has a significant place in the Scripture. Anyone feeling cooked yet? I have much better news for you.
Anyone watching the current state of affairs in our government, nation, churches, families, and the world in general know that we have come near to the boiling point. The good news is that the Lord is preparing a way of escape for His people and it will come forth speedily. In a moment as water reaches 212 degrees, the water molecules having been greatly agitated by the intense heat and pressure take flight and escape into steam. I can't help but feel we are about to see a major shift and change that will lift us out what has been and cause us to take flight into a dimension of spiritual reality unlike has ever been known. I'm really at a loss to explain it more fully, but felt the urgency to share with you that the focus on 212 degrees I believe, in part, is pointing to the coming date 2-12. I have had several people mention to me that the Lord is showing them something very important will be happening in February, and I do feel we are to keep alert and watch with an expectant heart and mind and an uplifted face to the Lord. Let it be as the Lord said to Jeremiah, "You have seen well". I do not sense this is a national or political shift or crisis as much as it is a change coming to us individually and corporately, especially those of us who have allowed our flesh to get boiled in the pot of affliction. Many of us are suffering physically, emotionally, and financially and haven't seemed to find any relief or explanation. Could it be the necessary process to get us to the place of complete release of natural limitations that will allow us to be lifted out of this present state of form into a higher dimension of spirit? Something is going on that cannot be explained or rebuked away. What has worked isn't working in the lives of most Christian people I know right now, and I can't help but wonder if we are being prepared for a great transformation and translation that will defy gravity and death. Paul said "this corruptible must put on incorruption and this immortal must put on immortality" I Cor 15:53. While most contribute these verses to a rapture, I can't help but feel the Lord is about to do a supernatural work in His people that will dazzle the world and frazzle the carnal enemy of mankind. At present, we are not able to cope with or challenge and defeat the forces of evil without Supernatural strength, power, and wisdom. Jesus, the head of the body is joined to His body and we will have the Mind of Christ directing our steps and ascent. My friends, Bruce and Reshma Allen of Spokane have been teaching about translation by faith, sometimes known as a 'Phillip trip'. You can access their website at www.stillwatersinternational.com for some amazing pictures and stories or to order tapes. Be sure and click on Third Day Signs and view an amazing picture taken in Coeur D Alene when Bruce was translated to Latvia to pray for a little girl in flat 212.
I am not date setting, but I am telling you that something is up very soon and we just need to look up and keep our heads up and stand up and rise up, for it will only be done in the Power of His Spirit. Human wisdom, will and determination will not win this battle. Regardless of what we feel or see on 2-12 or don't feel or see, we can still come into agreement with the Spirit of the Lord Who is doing a Mighty work in realms beyond our vision.
Another verse that is being highlighted repeatedly is Isaiah 60:1-2.
ARISE (just like steam)... from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you; Rise to a new life; Shine - be radiant with the Glory of the Lord; for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
For behold, darkeness shall cover the earh, and dense darkness all peoples; but the Lord shall arise upon you and His glory shall be see on you.
I am telling you beloved, that an ARISING is coming. The ability to ARISE will not come out of the weakness of our flesh or the determined will of our soul, but the command of the Lord who says, COME UP HERE!!! HE is bringing the change. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye... by the way did you know the word moment is not a moment in time as we have been taught? Rather the Greek word is 'atomos' meaning in the very atoms of our being we will be changed. That is why a great interest is in quantum physics right now and that what we see is made of what we cannot see. We are being renewed in our minds to see and think differently. Some of us have just thrown up our hands and said "I don't get it", but even that simple gesture if it's surrendering to the Lord can be a yielding of the natural mind. We can "get it" inside, even if our minds won't compute.
I want to share a few marvelous personal stories about 212 to encourage your faith and let you see that it has gone beyond ordinary circumstances. Some of this will be a repeat of an earlier email, but it is certainly worth the repeating.
After many weeks of prayer to discern the Lord's will and purpose, I left on Sept 16, 2008 for a "east country drive" with my focus and face set towards Eastport, Maine by Oct 10-11. The details are in past newsletters for the new folks on my email list, so go to the website: www.carlareed.com. I had been in the Seattle area the previous week and on my return trip to Liberty Lake on 9-11, the Glory van registered 144,000 miles; 12 x 12 x 1000 is another important number in scripture as you know and speaks of a governmental people in power and authority. I was on my way back to attend the Healing Rooms Conference in Spokane that night and interestingly enough, I was in Spokane on 9-11-01. After a few days of preparation for what became a 12 week trip on 'east country (vista) drive', I returned on 12-11-08 and my first full day at home was 12-12. What a glorious day it was to be home at last after over 13,000 miles and what a glorious testimony to the Lord's faithfulness to keep me.
When I left on Tues, Sept 16, I quickly recorded my mileage, but didn't really think about it again until I was in Montana about 200 miles and I glanced down and had come 144,404 miles since 9-11, which was only 40 miles away from all 4's. I decided to watch my mileage closely, knowing that soon I would turn 144,444 miles, and I wanted to be sure and stop along side the interstate and take a picture of my odometer. Just as I saw it was registering 144,443 miles, I noticed an off ramp to an exit and suddenly decided to get off I-90 to safely take a picture. When I got to the stop sign at the end of the exit ramp, it still had not turned 144,444 miles which I thought was odd as it should have. Instead of driving to my right or left on a road I didn't want to travel, I began to ease back toward the interstate on the on ramp slowly. It still didn't turn over and by now, I was sure it would have. So, I simply got back on I-90 and waited. Then, I passed mile marker 212 and within a short distance, the odometer turned to 144,444 miles. I stopped, put on my blinkers and snapped several pictures. I was so intense on watching for the whizzing traffic coming from behind me that I still didn't fully comprehend what was happening. As I eased back on I-90, which by the way, I have driven from Seattle to Boston, I was suddenly so aware of the miracle that had just happened. The exit I had driven off was 211 and the oddity of my odometer not turning over had a greater implication. In other words, at 211, nothing happened, but when I passed mile marker 212, the turning happened.

Dearest Friends,
Blessings and Greetings to you once again from beautiful Liberty Lake, Washington. It has been a great joy to me to be able to stay home for several weeks resting up from over six months of intense travel across America in 2008. I didn't know how tired I was until I had a chance to rest. The snow and cloudy, dreary weather have made for a cozy time of snuggling into the warm, comfort, and security of my own home and allowed a cocooning time that I trust will allow me to come forth with new butterfly wings. As it is, I've felt about as sluggish as the caterpillar and about as attractive. I have a feeling alot of you are feeling the same way. Yesterday, I felt the need to look up the word metamorphosis and google it on the computer. It was amazing to see all the beautiful pictures of butterflies and read about the process. So, if you are feeling 'processed', be encouraged! I believe what the Lord is doing in this hour is not near as much about us being more anointed as it is about personal transformation. So, if you feel you've lost your identity, you're right. You are a new creature in Christ and He is about to prove it to us all. So many of us feel like we have had to 'fly by the seat of our pants', so to speak, and He about to show us how to use our wings!!
For many of us and nearly everyone I know, it seems like we've entered a dark tunnel or birth canal that has squeezed us with nearly unbearable pressure. Personally, I have never known such darkness, but I know it is not from the enemy. It's the darkness of the Lord that He invites us to enter as He did Moses upon Mt Sinai many years ago. The people pulled away and stood back, and only one man entered into the dense cloud of darkness. It was there He encountered the Lord for 40 days and was given the Ten Commandments. We all talk about desiring mountain top experiences, but did we ever think the Lord would invite us into thick deep darkness? Recently, I was visiting with friends on the phone and told them I feel like I've been put in a dark room and I'm trying to be happy in there. Interestingly enough, I once worked in a darkroom developing pictures for a small town newspaper in South Dakota and I had to "feel" how to take the film out of the camera and putting it into the container with solution to develope the film. Then when I looked at the 'negatives', black was really white and white was black before the pictures were developed. Images appeared to be the opposite of what they really were. I believe we are being invited into "the dark room" that He might expose our negatives and turn them into positive images. The LIGHT always ruined the undeveloped negatives.
There are treasures in the darkness as the Lord hides Himself there for us to seek Him. When everything in us wants to run and try to fill the void or escape the uncomfortable feelings of being 'in the dark', we must stand firm and trust Him. We are being brought to a place of utter dependence and it really is a good thing. Beloved, when a 'dark cloud' is upon us or upon our family and nation, we can rest assured it's because His Overshadowing Presence is putting us in the shade of His Care. Over and over, I kept saying, " I don't want to fear the darkness. I don't want to fear this place in God". We will gather treasures in this place if we don't let the carnal mind of fear, worry and anxiety overtake us and cause us to run and pull away from the Lord.
Another thought that keeps coming to me is that we desire to know the depths of His love. Where did we think that would happen? We are familiar with the lengths, breadths, and love the dizzy heights, but the depths are something else. So if you feel like you're in a free fall with nothing to stand on, I'm thinking we may really be "falling in love" with Him after all. Deep is calling onto Deep and it's coming from deep within us calling unto the Deep of God. I recently watched a video about the ocean depths and what was so amazing at the place of deepest darkness beyond the sun's rays, was the incredible beauty of the plant and fish life that no one sees. Some of this was viewed from the Planet Earth BBC video series that has the most stunning photography you will ever see.
Here are a few scripture references to darkness:
He made darkness His secret Place. (Psalms 28:11)
Darkness and the light are both alike to Him. (Psalms 139:12)
Clouds of darkness are about Him, (Psalms 97:2)
I form the light and create the darkness. (Isaiah 45:7)
I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places. (Isaiah 45:3)
Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was. (Exod 20:21)
The mountain burned with fire, with clouds, and thick darkness ( Deut 4:11)
He came down and darkness was under His feet (II Sam 22:10)
The day of the Lord is darkness and not light. (Amos 5:18)
Is there a demonic darkness? Yes. But, we will learn not to even fear it and our times in the dark room will give us eyes to see and discernment about what is really going on. Many of us are confused and trying to rebuke the devil, when the Lord is dealing with His people in an un-precedented way. I know this much, rebuking the Lord is not a good thing even if it's done ignorantly, and certainly, judging others going thru' hard and dark times isn't too smart either. One of the major things I see the Lord dealing with is our fear of deception, which will actually keep us out of understanding deeper truths and hold us hostage in our misperceptions (missed perceptions) which are deceptions as well. In other words, the thing we fear (deception) actually comes on us because we reject truth thinking it is error and we can get more deeply cemented into our mental position and dangerously dogmatic. That in turn causes us to be suspicious of others and reject them and deeper revelations of truth in the name of our discernment. What a pit it can become for the fearful and self reliant. We will need so much grace and patience with each other in the days to come as the Lord reveals more of Himself and His ways to us. Even our language is changing as our new vocabulary in the spirit is being 'developed'. If we're not careful, we can misjudge what someone is saying if we dwell on the words alone and don't know the heart.
May the Lord grant each of you His peace and comfort in these strange times... the best of times and the worst of times. It would really be nice to hear from you. I have no plans to travel or minister until the end of March. As I was returning home in December, I felt the Lord say "Ninety days in the Secret Place". After so much travel and social and spiritual interaction, it hasn't been easy. I love the rest, but the mental torment of wondering how to pay the bills or the accusing "You should be doing something" can steal joy and rest quickly. I'm really not in a position to "do something" too much anyway, feeling physically and emotionally depleted after all the travel. I'm just not up to it. So, since I can't come to your house this time, would you come to mine? Visit me with your phone calls, letters, love, prayers and support. I really do want to hear from you.
Thank you for your love, kindness, and friendship, Financial support is at an all time low due to many who are also struggling. I understand it, my friends, and I would not ask you to take from your needs or your family's. Only do what is in your heart to do and we will agree for a multiplication of funds for all of us. Let us break the bread together and we will both eat well.
Before I close I want to make you aware of some websites that I think will be a blessing to you.
First of all, I want to recommend the websites of my wonderful friends, Alyosha and Jody Ryabinov. Alyosha has such wonderful healing music and you can order his Cd's on www.songofisrael.com. Click on my store and then you can listen to some of his tracks. They are some of my favorite CD's and very healing and soothing. Be sure and check out the Healing Scriptures CD that has Alyosha playing while Sid Roth is speaking scriptures first in English and then in Hebrew.
Jody has designed amazing and wonderful EMF(electro-magnetic frequency) shields that will help protect you against harmful frequencies from cell phones, computers, towers, and electrical appliances and wires. Her site is www.glorycareandwear.com. If you let her know I have referred you, she will be giving me a commission on the sales. I also have some EMF pendants and cell phone shields with me and you can call me directly. Be sure and watch the videos on her website and read the startling information about what our bodies are being subjected to. I have been wearing a pendent for over a year and know it has protected me well. Many of us have compromised immune systems because of frequency interference in our bodies. An unseen, but dangerous enemy of your health and mine.
For those of you who want to attend conferences and haven't been able to because of money or distance, I want to let you know of the most wonderful video online library that is being made available by Jim Otts of Spokane. He is the director of Royal Crown Foundation and has videoed many wonderful conferences all over America. He has compiled them and put them into a huge video library and you can subscribe for only $9.95 per month. That means you can watch unlimited videos of all the speakers and conferences you missed at a fraction of the cost. What an amazing blessing this is to the body of Christ. Thanks Jim!!
Jim is an outstanding Christian brother who has labored long and hard to make CD's and DVD's available to people attending the conferences who want to take something home. He too has lived 'by faith' trusting for his provision. The library "fee" is to help him cover production costs and is the bargain of the year! His website is www.rcfvl.com (Royal Crown Foundation Video Library)
For those of you interested in prophetic art, I want to recommend my friend, Pastor Mike DeLorenzo who lives in Des Moines, Washington (not Iowa). However, I did learn that Mike's mother was born in Sioux Falls, SD and that makes him kind of midwestern kin.
You can access his artwork at www.myfathershouseministries.com and see what keeps him busy. Also check out their website, www.ionways.com/aquapure to view the best water purifying system on the market. You can email or call Linda DeLorenzo about it. I have read about several purifiers and I'm really wanting to purchase the Athena system as it alkanizes the water. If Linda has about three people interested and ready to purchase at the same time she orders, she can provide a substantial discount on the price.
And of course, don't forget to visit my website www.carlareed.com to order my CD's, Akiane's book, or read and order "My Story". And of course, you can access Akiane's website at: www.artakiane.com to view the wonderful pictures.
About three weeks ago, I sent out my most recent book as an attachment called Days of Glory. It is my gift to you and to honor the Lord's great faithfulness to me as I encountered the Glory realms 10 years ago. I haven't heard from too many of you, so I'm assuming you've not had time to read it yet. I am hoping to get some copies printed in the near future and make them available for sale. I believe the book will be a great blessing to you and I'm going to include it as an attachment again as I think some people either missed getting it or it couldn't be opened. I will be commenting in the days ahead on what I feel the Lord is showing me about the 'Power of Ten', which is why I wrote the book. If you have trouble reading online or don't have the time to sit at a computer, print it off and enjoy the wonderful stories that I have shared. Then, give it to someone else who needs encouragement or email them the attachment. Let's proclaim His goodness and Glory to everyone.
Now, for a praise report!!!
Since returning from the east coast in December, I have been looking at and pricing new computers and wanted a new desktop altho' I've never had a desktop. I will continue to use the laptop that was given to me, but have had trouble with limited memory and my cd drive does not work to read or write. I wanted a larger screen that would be easier on my eyes, plus the memory capability for all the writing I want to do and to store several thousand pictures and data. Two weeks ago, I happened to go to the Staples store as a sales circular had just come out with a wonderful HP desk top with 6 GB system memory and 500 GB hard drive, plus a 22" monitor all for $659. It has the Windows Vista Home Premium edition which did cause some complications in transferring some of my old programs. But, I'm all ready with a new computer and so this is my first newsletter on my 22" inch monitor which is like a small TV screen. I also just hooked up to internet in my apartment and will be able to check emails more quickly and get online to see all the great google and youtube videos and data downloads really fast. I'm wonderfully spoiled and happy about it. I did not have the funds to pay cash, but didn't want to pass up the deal as I so needed it for what is coming forth in writing. So, if you'd like to give and apply a donation towards the new ministry computer, I'll be estatically happy. A special thanks to Jim Otts and his friend, Len, who came and helped this somewhat challenged computer non-nerd. They transferred my word files and pictures, altho some programs were not up to par and compatible with Vista Windows. I suppose there is a prophetic picture in this that our programs are out of date and we need to upgrade and get with the new program.
In closing,
Beloved, let us truly love one another and stay connected thru emails and phone calls. We are going to need each other as never before and the enemy would have us at war with each other, finding fault (and there's plenty of it) or hiding our pain, and withholding our love and support. If I can be of any service to you in prayer or just to talk, let me know. It's my joy and honor to serve you. I'm truly blessed by the best friends in all of America.
My love and thanks to all of you,

Dearest Friends,
Blessings and Greetings to you once again from beautiful Liberty Lake, Washington. It has been a great joy to me to be able to stay home for several weeks resting up from over six months of intense travel across America in 2008. I didn't know how tired I was until I had a chance to rest. The snow and cloudy, dreary weather have made for a cozy time of snuggling into the warm, comfort, and security of my own home and allowed a cocooning time that I trust will allow me to come forth with new butterfly wings. As it is, I've felt about as sluggish as the caterpillar and about as attractive. I have a feeling alot of you are feeling the same way. Yesterday, I felt the need to look up the word metamorphosis and google it on the computer. It was amazing to see all the beautiful pictures of butterflies and read about the process. So, if you are feeling 'processed', be encouraged! I believe what the Lord is doing in this hour is not near as much about us being more anointed as it is about personal transformation. So, if you feel you've lost your identity, you're right. You are a new creature in Christ and He is about to prove it to us all. So many of us feel like we have had to 'fly by the seat of our pants', so to speak, and He about to show us how to use our wings!!
For many of us and nearly everyone I know, it seems like we've entered a dark tunnel or birth canal that has squeezed us with nearly unbearable pressure. Personally, I have never known such darkness, but I know it is not from the enemy. It's the darkness of the Lord that He invites us to enter as He did Moses upon Mt Sinai many years ago. The people pulled away and stood back, and only one man entered into the dense cloud of darkness. It was there He encountered the Lord for 40 days and was given the Ten Commandments. We all talk about desiring mountain top experiences, but did we ever think the Lord would invite us into thick deep darkness? Recently, I was visiting with friends on the phone and told them I feel like I've been put in a dark room and I'm trying to be happy in there. Interestingly enough, I once worked in a darkroom developing pictures for a small town newspaper in South Dakota and I had to "feel" how to take the film out of the camera and putting it into the container with solution to develope the film. Then when I looked at the 'negatives', black was really white and white was black before the pictures were developed. Images appeared to be the opposite of what they really were. I believe we are being invited into "the dark room" that He might expose our negatives and turn them into positive images. The LIGHT always ruined the undeveloped negatives.
There are treasures in the darkness as the Lord hides Himself there for us to seek Him. When everything in us wants to run and try to fill the void or escape the uncomfortable feelings of being 'in the dark', we must stand firm and trust Him. We are being brought to a place of utter dependence and it really is a good thing. Beloved, when a 'dark cloud' is upon us or upon our family and nation, we can rest assured it's because His Overshadowing Presence is putting us in the shade of His Care. Over and over, I kept saying, " I don't want to fear the darkness. I don't want to fear this place in God". We will gather treasures in this place if we don't let the carnal mind of fear, worry and anxiety overtake us and cause us to run and pull away from the Lord.
Another thought that keeps coming to me is that we desire to know the depths of His love. Where did we think that would happen?

Dearest Friends,
Blessings and New Year’s Greetings to all of you! It has been over a month since my last correspondence and I have some wonderful things to share with you.
First of all, I am so very happy to present you with a precious gift. I have just completed the first draft of a new book that I am calling "Days of Glory", and I am sending it to you as an attachment to bring blessings, joy, and hope. With darkening storm clouds gathering all around us, I personally felt the need to go back and remind myself of the Lord’s Great Faithfulness. He began to take me back ten years ago when I faced similar darkened days, and He caused His Face to shine ever so brightly and did above and beyond all I would have ever thought or asked. It was my introduction into a Realm of Glory that I believe is being released again this year, ten years later. My friend, David Van Koevering talks about the “Power of Ten” and so I have highlighted the astonishing release of His Glory through Ruth Heflin’s ministry at Calvary Pentecostal Campground in Ashland, Virginia and my eyewitness account and experience of the gold dust and gold teeth manifestation when it first happened in 1999. As I have typed the words, I have felt a fresh wave of His Glory wash out over me as the ever increasing ripples in a pond. I trust I will splash on you as well.
The true stories following that Glory Encounter are of my returning to South Dakota and the testimonies and accounting of impartations and manifestations into the region. I am sharing candidly and honestly from my own journals, memoirs, and memory. Some of you who I met in 1999 will be surprised to find your name in the pages of a ‘book of remembrance’ that highlights some of my favorite stories of the wild and wacky world of a traveling ministry. I'm sure you will laugh and shake you head in bewilderment at the amazing ways the Lord blesses us in spite of ourselves.
If you are suffering the winter doldrums, be prepared to have your socks blessed off and walk around barefoot a few days. Truly we will remove the shoes from our feet as we stand on the Holy Ground of His Glorious Presence, realized and felt among us once again. It would be best to save the file to your computer or print it out. Take your time to read it and enjoy what I have labored extensively to bring forth as a clear and accurate accounting of the “Days of Glory” that happened ten years ago in 1999. In many ways, it will serve as a foundation for the next book I am writing about gathering the waters of America, and you will know me much better than you do now.
It is my hope to get the book formatted and printed as funds are available. The book attachment is a gift to you and only if you desire, are you welcome to partner with me for its publication. I will also be making available a DVD from the Campground in Ashland,Virginia of Silvania’s Testimony on February 6, 1999. I was an eyewitness and you’ll find me in the video if you watch carefully. I will be working on a CD audio version of my book to be released soon, so stay tuned for all the details. Also, I will have Ruth Heflin's book, "Golden Glory" available for sale and you can order your copy. It contains detailed testimonies from those who experienced the gold dust manifestation and how it caused an impartation to the readers that stunned the most skeptical.
Now for some other good news.
On January 2, 2009, I was blessed by the birth of my twelfth grandchild, a boy, named Titus Wayne, weighing 8 lbs, 5 oz. He is the newborn son of my daughter, Anne, and her husband, Dan, who live in Anderson, Indiana. Titus was due in December, but he did not want to make a showing until the new year. We all hoped we might have the New Year’s baby, but his birth was induced on Jan 2. He was still in no hurry. He joins Luke, Hannah, Ethan, and Joseph who all adore him. Starting the new year with a new baby just seems right. The fact that he is number twelve is delightfully prophetic and now I have my own tribe.
The last month since my return in December has been a season of knowing the Depths of the Lord’s love in the depths of darkness and fatigue. Spokane endured the heaviest snow on record in December, all 61 inches of it. It happened just after I arrived home, and I was so very grateful to get snowed into my very own place and not be fighting hazardous conditions on the roads or somewhere else. I have had days upon days of silence, prayer, introspection, searchings, longings, and napping. I didn't know I was so tired. I did end up spending Christmas “Home Alone” as road conditions prohibited my travel to see my middle son in Moses Lake. I came off of 12 weeks of intense travel to a screeching halt, somewhat akin to hitting a wall. It has taken over a month to clear my head, search my heart, and even begin to think of writing. That is why the book is clearly anointed by His Hand to encourage me and those who will take time to read it’s precious pages. If you're not blessed by the contents, I'll come take your temperature. Just teasing.
Now, could I share another absolutely delightful story?
My new grand piano has needed tuning this last year, but constant travel seemed to postpone it to a more convenient time. After arriving home in December, I sat down to play and worship and grew annoyed with a sticky G key right above middle C. Anyone who plays piano, knows that’s an important key in every song you play. Remembering that one free tune up came with the purchase of the piano, I decided to call the music store and see if they would still honor their offer as so much time had passed. They said they would send someone out after the holidays. So, on January 8, a distinguished looking piano tuner came to my apartment. He tried several ways to loosen up the sticky key and finally decided to slide out the whole keyboard to give him access to the little hammers on the backside that strike the strings. Before going further, he excused himself to run outside and get some oil as I also had a squeaky pedal. Glancing across my living room to the piano, I noticed what appeared to be a large speck of dirt or a tiny dust ball laying just inside the open piano casing. I decided to quick grab a rag and dust it out before he came back in and slid the entire keyboard back inside the hole that had just been left.
As I went to pick up the “dirt or dust ball”, I was quite surprised to find a small purple amethyst looking rectangular gemstone about the size of a sunflower seed. I had to grin, thankful I’d found it before he did when he came back in. After trying this and that, he finally was able to loosen up the G key and inserted the whole keyboard back into the piano casing so he could begin the actual tune up. He told me it was quite flat and with so much time elapsing since my purchase and my traveling, I’m sure it was. As he was ready to start tuning, he glanced down on the piano bench where he had laid the keyboard earlier and picked up a tiny clear gemstone. “Here”, he said, “It looks like a little rhinestone or something”. All I could say was “thanks” as I retrieved a small round clear faceted gemstone about the size of a colored pin head. How was I supposed to explain that? I didn’t try and suddenly I realized what was jamming up my key was that little clear gemstone that had gotten lodged in there somewhere. Since it had dropped out of the bottom of the keyboard as it sat on the bench where he’d worked on it, I knew that must have been the “hang up”. I was grinning by the time he left and the next day, spotted another little clear gemstone like the second one under my piano bench on the carpet. I have no explanation as to how those three little gemstones got in there, but I've sure had a lot of fun laughing about it and marveling ever since.
When I sat down after the tuning, my fingers sailed once again across the clear crisp keys of that beautiful piano. I have so many new songs that well up within me as I let my fingers dance across the keys and those too will be coming forth in the days ahead. So, pardon the pun, but “stay tuned”.
A last more difficult piece of news is that Joshua has received orders to be deployed to Afghanistan early and he will be leaving mid April to May. This makes me doubly glad I lingered on the east coast to spend Thanksgiving with him. I will probably be making a trip out to see him before he leaves the country for a year. At this point, I’m not sure if I’ll fly or drive so I can see my new grandson, Titus, on the way. By spring, I may be willing to get back into my van.
In closing, know you are loved and appreciated for your kindness and generosity over the years. I enjoy hearing from you and for some of you, it’s been a very long time. I trust my emails are a blessing to you and not just marked for deletion.
It is my hope to continue to write for the next several weeks as I trust the Lord to bring in the needed funds and rest up from so much intense travel this past year. Let your heart be your guide and if the book is a blessing to you, let me know. We can partner together for it’s release in print. It is truly my joy to release it to you before its publication as a gift and a testimony to the Faithfulness of God. We will need to be reminded often in the days ahead of us.
May His Face and Grace shine upon you all and keep you safe and satisfied in Him.
To the Praise of His Glory,
Carla

Dearest Friends,
Blessings and New Year’s Greetings to all of you! It has been over a month since my last correspondence and I have some wonderful things to share with you.
First of all, I am so very happy to present you with a precious gift. I have just completed the first draft of a new book that I am calling "Days of Glory", and I am sending it to you as an attachment to bring blessings, joy, and hope. With darkening storm clouds gathering all around us, I personally felt the need to go back and remind myself of the Lord’s Great Faithfulness. He began to take me back ten years ago when I faced similar darkened days, and He caused His Face to shine ever so brightly and did above and beyond all I would have ever thought or asked. It was my introduction into a Realm of Glory that I believe is being released again this year, ten years later. My friend, David Van Koevering talks about the “Power of Ten” and so I have highlighted the astonishing release of His Glory through Ruth Heflin’s ministry at Calvary Pentecostal Campground in Ashland, Virginia and my eyewitness account and experience of the gold dust and gold teeth manifestation when it first happened in 1999. As I have typed the words, I have felt a fresh wave of His Glory wash out over me as the ever increasing ripples in a pond. I trust I will splash on you as well.
The true stories following that Glory Encounter are of my returning to South Dakota and the testimonies and accounting of impartations and manifestations into the region. I am sharing candidly and honestly from my own journals, memoirs, and memory. Some of you who I met in 1999 will be surprised to find your name in the pages of a ‘book of remembrance’ that highlights some of my favorite stories of the wild and wacky world of a traveling ministry. I'm sure you will laugh and shake you head in bewilderment at the amazing ways the Lord blesses us in spite of ourselves.
If you are suffering the winter doldrums, be prepared to have your socks blessed off and walk around barefoot a few days. Truly we will remove the shoes from our feet as we stand on the Holy Ground of His Glorious Presence, realized and felt among us once again. It would be best to save the file to your computer or print it out. Take your time to read it and enjoy what I have labored extensively to bring forth as a clear and accurate accounting of the “Days of Glory” that happened ten years ago in 1999. In many ways, it will serve as a foundation for the next book I am writing about gathering the waters of America, and you will know me much better than you do now.
It is my hope to get the book formatted and printed as funds are available. The book attachment is a gift to you and only if you desire, are you welcome to partner with me for its publication. I will also be making available a DVD from the Campground in Ashland,Virginia of Silvania’s Testimony on February 6, 1999. I was an eyewitness and you’ll find me in the video if you watch carefully. I will be working on a CD audio version of my book to be released soon, so stay tuned for all the details. Also, I will have Ruth Heflin's book, "Golden Glory" available for sale and you can order your copy. It contains detailed testimonies from those who experienced the gold dust manifestation and how it caused an impartation to the readers that stunned the most skeptical.
Now for some other good news.
On January 2, 2009, I was blessed by the birth of my twelfth grandchild, a boy, named Titus Wayne, weighing 8 lbs, 5 oz. He is the newborn son of my daughter, Anne, and her husband, Dan, who live in Anderson, Indiana. Titus was due in December, but he did not want to make a showing until the new year. We all hoped we might have the New Year’s baby, but his birth was induced on Jan 2. He was still in no hurry. He joins Luke, Hannah, Ethan, and Joseph who all adore him. Starting the new year with a new baby just seems right. The fact that he is number twelve is delightfully prophetic and now I have my own tribe.
The last month since my return in December has been a season of knowing the Depths of the Lord’s love in the depths of darkness and fatigue. Spokane endured the heaviest snow on record in December, all 61 inches of it. It happened just after I arrived home, and I was so very grateful to get snowed into my very own place and not be fighting hazardous conditions on the roads or somewhere else. I have had days upon days of silence, prayer, introspection, searchings, longings, and napping. I didn't know I was so tired. I did end up spending Christmas “Home Alone” as road conditions prohibited my travel to see my middle son in Moses Lake. I came off of 12 weeks of intense travel to a screeching halt, somewhat akin to hitting a wall. It has taken over a month to clear my head, search my heart, and even begin to think of writing. That is why the book is clearly anointed by His Hand to encourage me and those who will take time to read it’s precious pages. If you're not blessed by the contents, I'll come take your temperature. Just teasing.
Now, could I share another absolutely delightful story?
My new grand piano has needed tuning this last year, but constant travel seemed to postpone it to a more convenient time. After arriving home in December, I sat down to play and worship and grew annoyed with a sticky G key right above middle C. Anyone who plays piano, knows that’s an important key in every song you play. Remembering that one free tune up came with the purchase of the piano, I decided to call the music store and see if they would still honor their offer as so much time had passed. They said they would send someone out after the holidays. So, on January 8, a distinguished looking piano tuner came to my apartment. He tried several ways to loosen up the sticky key and finally decided to slide out the whole keyboard to give him access to the little hammers on the backside that strike the strings. Before going further, he excused himself to run outside and get some oil as I also had a squeaky pedal. Glancing across my living room to the piano, I noticed what appeared to be a large speck of dirt or a tiny dust ball laying just inside the open piano casing. I decided to quick grab a rag and dust it out before he came back in and slid the entire keyboard back inside the hole that had just been left.
As I went to pick up the “dirt or dust ball”, I was quite surprised to find a small purple amethyst looking rectangular gemstone about the size of a sunflower seed. I had to grin, thankful I’d found it before he did when he came back in. After trying this and that, he finally was able to loosen up the G key and inserted the whole keyboard back into the piano casing so he could begin the actual tune up. He told me it was quite flat and with so much time elapsing since my purchase and my traveling, I’m sure it was. As he was ready to start tuning, he glanced down on the piano bench where he had laid the keyboard earlier and picked up a tiny clear gemstone. “Here”, he said, “It looks like a little rhinestone or something”. All I could say was “thanks” as I retrieved a small round clear faceted gemstone about the size of a colored pin head. How was I supposed to explain that? I didn’t try and suddenly I realized what was jamming up my key was that little clear gemstone that had gotten lodged in there somewhere. Since it had dropped out of the bottom of the keyboard as it sat on the bench where he’d worked on it, I knew that must have been the “hang up”. I was grinning by the time he left and the next day, spotted another little clear gemstone like the second one under my piano bench on the carpet. I have no explanation as to how those three little gemstones got in there, but I've sure had a lot of fun laughing about it and marveling ever since.
When I sat down after the tuning, my fingers sailed once again across the clear crisp keys of that beautiful piano. I have so many new songs that well up within me as I let my fingers dance across the keys and those too will be coming forth in the days ahead. So, pardon the pun, but “stay tuned”.
A last more difficult piece of news is that Joshua has received orders to be deployed to Afghanistan early and he will be leaving mid April to May. This makes me doubly glad I lingered on the east coast to spend Thanksgiving with him. I will probably be making a trip out to see him before he leaves the country for a year. At this point, I’m not sure if I’ll fly or drive so I can see my new grandson, Titus, on the way. By spring, I may be willing to get back into my van.
In closing, know you are loved and appreciated for your kindness and generosity over the years. I enjoy hearing from you and for some of you, it’s been a very long time. I trust my emails are a blessing to you and not just marked for deletion.

To the Most ONE-derful People I Know!
Blessings to each of you on this blessed day 11-11!!!! Many of you know my many 1111 stories and have some of your very own. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to write an update to you today and stay in touch. Since the numbers 111 and 1111 began in the year 2000, I have called it the number of alignment…being in the right place at the right time… extended to being with the right people for the right purposes and doing the right thing. Just seems like a right number. It is the number of oneness, unity, and wholeness. The number 11 is regarded by some as the number of the paradigm shift… not 10 with its measure of fullness and not 12 and its meaning of Divine government. Eleven is a number of transition and some of us feel like we are stuck there in the midst of change. Some we like and some we don’t.
Such change happened last week with the election of Barack Obama. I do not and still do not feel he was the right choice. Like others, I felt the people demanded a king and they have elected one. Race was certainly the big issue and isn’t it interesting that the man who represented race relationships was Martin Luther KING. With respect to my black brothers and sisters in the church, I feel they erred in voting their race and ignored the liberal platform. I doubt Martin Luther King himself would have voted for Obama knowing his stance on abortion and same sex marriage.
I was grieved at the results and still remain saddened that many were so vulnerable and gullible. Too much has been exposed and covered up to enable Obama to charm his way into the oval office. Yet, I do believe God has a plan. The liberal media and press would have been a torment to McCain and Palin. Personally, I believe one of the ways the judgment of God comes is to let us have our way and reap the consequences of it. We’ll see what happens in the days ahead and just know that those who stood and voted for righteousness and the unborn are marked with favor and blessing in the midst of confusion and calamity.
For a long time I have felt the church needs a change in strategy. At times many are unnecessarily confrontational and it only strengthens the resolve and determination of the opposition. I believe we will find better results when we go undercover and underground, and come under the radar. Erosion happens underneath, not on the top fighting with the big boys. Now is the time to pray for the strategies needed and use the surprise power of secrecy and stealth. The church underground has untapped potentiality and does not need to wait for persecution. We can become the persecutors of the persecutors thru prayer and prophetic declarations and love.
Last week during the elections I spent several days near Mt Laurel/ Marlton, NJ with Pastor Jim and Shelly Mandel and their delightful church family. You can find their website at www.glorytothenations.org. We had wonderful meals together, including a night to a famous Brazilian steakhouse in downtown Philadelphia. I think I gained several pounds hanging out with that group.
Today as I write I am in Gettysburg/Chambersburg, PA. I was in the area last month when I spoke and returned this past weekend to participate in meetings with David and Becky Van Koevering. They are being hosted by several groups in the area and I have adjusted my plans to spend the entire week with them learning more about the quantum realm and how it relates to faith and healing. We have been having some awesome meetings and the interest and joy of discovery runs high. You can go to their website at www.elsewhen.com. I highly recommend their teachings and books and know you will be challenged and cheered as we learn about the true force of power behind what we see and say. I first met them two years ago when they spoke at a Quantum Leap conference in Coeur D Alene, ID and last summer was blessed to visit them in their home in Cleveland, TN. I greatly admire David and his knowledge and application to practical Christian living. And I especially admire Becky, his wife, for her courage and devotion to a sometimes “mad” scientist. You will be able to download some of their teachings from Elijah List. David is a quantum physicist and musicologist and has a collection of 200 instruments, old and new. He invented the original synthesizers and keyboards and holds 600 patents. It is rare to see a man of such brilliance also a humble follower of Jesus and lover of those he meets. We will also be talking more about the waters and the memory encoded in matter as I seek the Lord on understanding all that has been accomplished.
Yesterday, I was so excited to drive to Shippensburg, PA only 15 miles away and talk with Destiny Image Publications about writing and publishing my book(s). I will be doing lots of writing in the weeks ahead to meet some deadlines and publish the many stories of travel and His faithfulness. The lady I spoke with was overwhelmed by just a few of the stories I shared in gathering the waters. You are the characters ( no pun intended) in the book!!
Next week I am driving to Myrtle Beach, SC to link up with Alyosha and Jody Ryabinov as they minister at Shiloh Ministries founded by Jack Frost. It will be a delight to see them again and also several ladies I met through divine connections about years ago. You can access the Ryabinov’s site at www.songofisrael.com. They have also spoken on the Sid Roth show as Alyosha has shared his testimony and played his wonderful music. Jody has been in natural health many years and has designed EMF cell phone and computer shields and pendants to block harmful frequencies. I have been selling them and wear my own 24/7. Ask me about them. This stuff works.
I am lingering on the east coast to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my handsome young soldier son, Josh. He is based at Ft Bragg, NC, and it will be a joy to have several days with him before I begin my drive back to Washington. Enroute I’ll stop in Anderson, IN where my daughter and family just moved and in Sioux Falls, SD to see my oldest son and family. My mom now lives in Neligh, NE, so I’ll make a stop there as well and hope to see other family in the area. It’s one of the perks of travel to see family as most of them are not able to travel very far with young children,school obligations, and jobs.
Thank you so much for your prayer cover and your kind words of encouragement and strength. Today, I have been ‘on the road again’ for 8 weeks and am feeling the effects of much travel. I have already come 8,000 miles in 8 weeks. Were it not for my being able to spend Thanksgiving with my son, I would be heading home. It was a month ago today, October 10-11 that I stepped into the waters of the far northeast corner of America at Eastport, ME. I am still in awe of that Divine moment and the wonder of the beauty of the northeast ablaze with color. As I’ve been on the east coast, I’ve enjoyed several weeks of colorful changes and varieties of foliage. You can access some blog newsletters on my website: www.carlareed.com if you want to catch up or refer others.
Your prayers for physical strength, stamina, and healing are still needed. As you can and desire, your financial support keep my boat afloat and will enable me to get home and begin to tell the wonderful stories of His Faithful provision and protection. I want you to be encouraged and challenged as you step into your own destiny and dreams and do what has been deposited in your hearts.
I am still having some mail forwarded, but a better way to contribute to the journey is thru Paypal.com or call me with a credit/debit card number. Funds are available much quicker. Thank you for your sensitivity and generosity. You are the finest!
I am attaching a file of some of my favorite 1111 stories. Some of them you will have already read and for those of you new people added to the email list, I think you will enjoy them. I’m sure one of my books will be on prophetic numbers.
Much love to all of you,

Dearest Friends across America
Blessings to all of you from Maine and Massachusetts where I've been staying the past week. I wanted to give you a short report tonight as I review the astonishing, amazing, delightful, intensely prophetic, declarative, and revelatory events of the past week. It was a week ago tonight on 10-10-08 that I arrived in Eastport, Maine after three weeks of fast paced travel across the county. I can only tell you my face was set as flint as I made my way and felt the compelling hand of the Lord upon me. I don't know that I have ever held such an important prayer assignment or felt the urgency of it. TO HIS GLORY, I arrived at my destination on time.
I was greatly blessed to meet with Pastors Richard and Linda Brink of Eastgate Apostolic Center in Oakland/Waterville, Maine. They are key leaders to the entire state and the hub of many timely conferences and networking with intercessors and pastors across the state and all over New England. We had immediate heart to heart connections and the Lord gave us several days of sharing insights, stories, and strategies. They had been given the key to Maine by USPN network, involving Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets on their 50 state tour and visit to Maine. They truly are KEY leaders.
The night I arrived on Oct 9, they invited me to share at their ministry school about how I had been gathering waters and what had compelled me to drive over 4,000 miles to pray at the far northeast corner of Maine at the waters. At the end they asked if they could see the beautiful gem I had brought with me and we went into another level of glory and impartation. That night to my delight, they honored me by presenting the Isaiah 22:22 key to Maine. They had me hold it while they prayed for me and told me to take it with me to the shores of Maine. I took a picture of that beautiful key laying in the waters and was so thrilled to have such a cherished key and such an open door into Maine. I was blessed to speak at their church on Sunday morning and a Bridge church group near Portland on Sunday night. The Lord graciously opened wide the doors to many wonderful friendships in Maine and I anticipate there will be many more. On Monday, we drove to Bangor where I was blessed to meet with more key intercessors and establish deep ties to Maine as we partner together for America. The drive across Maine was unforgettable in beauty as the trees decorated the landscape. The weather was perfect and I learned the foliage was at optimum color as many were taking their annual fall foliage tour. It was the perfect weekend for every connection made and only the Lord could have given me those dates several weeks ago.
The pictures will speak for themselves and I will try to write more later on. I'm limited at the computer tonight and was just able to download some pictures into an album that will be available for your viewing at www.kodakgallery.com. Log in my email address of selahministries@hotmail.com, and then the password which is also selahministries. That will give you access to the album without downloading them onto your computer. If you have trouble, let me know.
In my last email, I shared with you about the number 212 as it pertains to the boiling point of water and flash points of change. On the morning I left I stopped at a gas station and to my shock and delight, a little red car with the numbers 212 was on the Maine plate. As I entered the on ramp of I-95 north into Bangor and towards Eastport, I had come 212 miles from my last stop in Massachusetts. Then to top that off, enroute to Eastport, near Machias, my odometer registered 148,888 miles, which meant I had come 4,444 miles since mile marker 212 in Montana. So many little signs and wonders delighted me as I drove to Eastport alone. Because of her daughter's illness, Rainie was not able to go with me. However, it seemed fitting that the Lord would grant me the courage and honor of HIM being my only traveling companion on such an awesome trip across the country and to the fourth corner of America. I smiled and rejoiced every mile and minute at the wonder of such a vast endeaver and that I was nearing my destination. That night I treated myself to a Maine lobster (lobsta', here). They were 2 for the price of 1 and the perfect meal at the dock.
Tomorrow, October 18, I will be driving into Long Island, NY to see my friend, Irene, and share with a group tomorrow night. We plan to pray off the waters of Long Island on Sunday. On Monday, I leave for Milford, Delaware, and by next weekend, I plan to be in Moravian Falls, NC. I will be seeing Joshua at Ft Bragg the next week as he will be gone to some training in Arizona until then. I'll keep you posted on the rest of the trip.
I am still processing the intensity and immensity of the trip out here. I hardly know how to tell you what I saw and felt as I peered into the early morning dawn on Saturday, 10-11. To stand on the shores of the 4th corner of America and feel the honor of representing your waters and prayers and to bring so great a sacrifice before the Lord. There is a great sense of accomplishment and wonderment that has been overwhelming. I want to thank all of your for your part in the miracle of it all and I'm so grateful for your prayerful and financial support.
As I write tonight I am staying with my wonderful delightful friend, Rainie, who lives in Westborough, Massachusetts. The foliage here is also stunningly beautiful and I'm so grateful for the joy and privilege of meeting leaders and intercessors in this historic New England region. We are all rooting for the Boston Red Sox to win of course.
Your continued prayers are gratefully acknowledged and needed as I continue this life changing journey. While standing on the shores of Eastport, I did feel strongly to pray against the election of Obama and deeply felt the impending danger of hidden agendas. I'm praying and calling for an unraveling and exposure of who this man really is and who is really behind the scenes.
I pray that your are blessed with the photo album and that I can follow up with a more detailed journal of what happened on this remarkable journey and endeavor. Your prayers and financial support are needed and gratefully received.
TO HIS GLORY,
Carla

Dearest Friends across America
Blessings to all of you from Maine and Massachusetts where I've been staying the past week. I wanted to give you a short report tonight as I review the astonishing, amazing, delightful, intensely prophetic, declarative, and revelatory events of the past week. It was a week ago tonight on 10-10-08 that I arrived in Eastport, Maine after three weeks of fast paced travel across the county. I can only tell you my face was set as flint as I made my way and felt the compelling hand of the Lord upon me. I don't know that I have ever held such an important prayer assignment or felt the urgency of it. TO HIS GLORY, I arrived at my destination on time.
I was greatly blessed to meet with Pastors Richard and Linda Brink of Eastgate Apostolic Center in Oakland/Waterville, Maine. They are key leaders to the entire state and the hub of many timely conferences and networking with intercessors and pastors across the state and all over New England. We had immediate heart to heart connections and the Lord gave us several days of sharing insights, stories, and strategies. They had been given the key to Maine by USPN network, involving Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets on their 50 state tour and visit to Maine. They truly are KEY leaders.
The night I arrived on Oct 9, they invited me to share at their ministry school about how I had been gathering waters and what had compelled me to drive over 4,000 miles to pray at the far northeast corner of Maine at the waters. At the end they asked if they could see the beautiful gem I had brought with me and we went into another level of glory and impartation. That night to my delight, they honored me by presenting the Isaiah 22:22 key to Maine. They had me hold it while they prayed for me and told me to take it with me to the shores of Maine. I took a picture of that beautiful key laying in the waters and was so thrilled to have such a cherished key and such an open door into Maine. I was blessed to speak at their church on Sunday morning and a Bridge church group near Portland on Sunday night. The Lord graciously opened wide the doors to many wonderful friendships in Maine and I anticipate there will be many more. On Monday, we drove to Bangor where I was blessed to meet with more key intercessors and establish deep ties to Maine as we partner together for America. The drive across Maine was unforgettable in beauty as the trees decorated the landscape. The weather was perfect and I learned the foliage was at optimum color as many were taking their annual fall foliage tour. It was the perfect weekend for every connection made and only the Lord could have given me those dates several weeks ago.
The pictures will speak for themselves and I will try to write more later on. I'm limited at the computer tonight and was just able to download some pictures into an album that will be available for your viewing at www.kodakgallery.com. Log in my email address of selahministries@hotmail.com, and then the password which is also selahministries. That will give you access to the album without downloading them onto your computer. If you have trouble, let me know.
In my last email, I shared with you about the number 212 as it pertains to the boiling point of water and flash points of change. On the morning I left I stopped at a gas station and to my shock and delight, a little red car with the numbers 212 was on the Maine plate. As I entered the on ramp of I-95 north into Bangor and towards Eastport, I had come 212 miles from my last stop in Massachusetts. Then to top that off, enroute to Eastport, near Machias, my odometer registered 148,888 miles, which meant I had come 4,444 miles since mile marker 212 in Montana. So many little signs and wonders delighted me as I drove to Eastport alone. Because of her daughter's illness, Rainie was not able to go with me. However, it seemed fitting that the Lord would grant me the courage and honor of HIM being my only traveling companion on such an awesome trip across the country and to the fourth corner of America. I smiled and rejoiced every mile and minute at the wonder of such a vast endeaver and that I was nearing my destination. That night I treated myself to a Maine lobster (lobsta', here). They were 2 for the price of 1 and the perfect meal at the dock.
Tomorrow, October 18, I will be driving into Long Island, NY to see my friend, Irene, and share with a group tomorrow night. We plan to pray off the waters of Long Island on Sunday. On Monday, I leave for Milford, Delaware, and by next weekend, I plan to be in Moravian Falls, NC. I will be seeing Joshua at Ft Bragg the next week as he will be gone to some training in Arizona until then. I'll keep you posted on the rest of the trip.
I am still processing the intensity and immensity of the trip out here. I hardly know how to tell you what I saw and felt as I peered into the early morning dawn on Saturday, 10-11. To stand on the shores of the 4th corner of America and feel the honor of representing your waters and prayers and to bring so great a sacrifice before the Lord.

Dearest Friends,
Blessings to all of you across America!! I want to give you a road update on my travels and let you know I am doing fine, and the trip is going amazingly well. Once again, I have found the Lord faithful to keep me as I go and give me a supernatural strength and energy that defies logic. I left Spokane three weeks ago today on Sept 16, and have come nearly 4,000 miles, plus ministering several times and many changes of beds and locations. And yes, it does stretch me to the max, but I’m learning to lean into and on His strength.
As I write to you tonight, I am in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I left the historic Gettysburg area this morning after spending nearly a week in the area ministering and also going to the Harrisburg area. I’ve been with some longtime friends and also meeting many new people. A fresh wind of the Spirit is blowing in Pennsylvania and I have so enjoyed the incredible beauty of the hillsides and farmlands. Several years ago, I learned that my maternal grandfather had come from the north central PA area, so I have some natural ties to the state and many blessed friendships since first coming in 2000.
I am staying tonight in the area of the original Moravian settlement in 1741. I had first come in 2002 to pray at the waters of Monocracy Creek at the first established well, and decided to spend the night here before I leave tomorrow on my upward journey to Maine. Bethlehem is home to Bethlehem Steel and I passed nearly a mile of old steel buildings today in the downtown area along the Lehigh River. It is also known as the Christmas City, (wonder why)… The Moravian Star, which is used to top Christmas trees has the long pointed end. It is also part of the logo for Morning Star Ministries. This is a special stop for me as I will be leaving for Moravian Falls, NC in about 2 weeks and they are closely connected.
On Thursday, I will be meeting and staying with Pastors Richard and Linda Brink of Eastgate Apostolic Center in Oakland, ME. On Friday, I will be driving to Eastport, my far northeast destination. There has been much excitement and anticipation for this coming weekend, and I want to let you in on the journey and ask you to cover me in prayer as we seek the Heart of the Lord for America. I am hearing confirming reports of Glory portals opening into the nation. Surely it can’t happen at a better time. I’m beginning to see more realistically the urgency of getting to the 4th Corner before the elections. May the Lord have mercy on us!
Several amazing things have happened since I stepped out by faith to drive across the great expanse of America. I want to share one that is especially pertinent to encourage you that the Lord is directing this prayer journey and that He has a purpose on His Heart and Mind.
First of all, it’s hard to believe that a month ago on Sept 7, I was still in Seattle. I didn’t arrive back in Spokane until 9-11, when I attended the International Healing Rooms Conference. On Monday, Sept, 8, my special friend, Quaint and I went to the shoreline of the Puget Sound waters in the city of Shoreline, WA. We had a special day of prayer with several close friends and the day had gone by quickly when we slipped to the shores as the sun was setting. As we came to the shore, I looked into the beautiful sunset and was instantly reminded of three prophetic words given to me in December, 1999 by three different people in three different locations all having to do with a sun setting in the west. It was catalytic in my decision to drive with the Atlantic waters to the Pacific Ocean the summer of 2000. There Josh and I witnessed our first sunset off the Oregon coastline and it was a profound and holy moment. At the time, I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime drive, never dreaming it would propel me into an eight year journey of several round trips across America.
As my friend and I stood on the shores, I was reminded of the confirming word of the trip that came from the lady who called me from Australia. She saw me standing on sand, stepping into water, and scanning the horizon. When I shared with her my intentions to drive to Maine, we realized how powerful that vision was. While standing at the Puget Sound, facing the west at sunset, I suddenly felt I should take some sand with me from the shore. I looked behind me at the dry sand, when suddenly I felt I was to take it from beneath my very feet and scooped up the wet sand in a bag. I plan to dump it out and stand on it when I get to Eastport, Maine.
On my return trip from Seattle on Sept 11, I turned 144,000 miles on my van. It was a wonderful moment of feeling the Lord has directed your miles and minutes and that is a great number!!!!!
After adding some more miles attending the Healing Room Conference in Spokane and attending church that Sunday, I registered some more miles before recording my mileage on Tues, Sept 16, the day I left for this trip. It was an intense time of preparation for several weeks on the east coast, open ended at this time. I drove across the beautiful neck of Idaho and entered Montana on I-90. You really must see the beauty of our great nation and the amazing northwest ruggedness of Montana.
At one point, I looked down and was surprised to see I had just registered 144,404 miles. I’d been so busy preparing I hadn’t even considered that I would come to 144,444 miles on my trip to the 4th corner of America. I’ve been telling you all about 4’s and doors for several weeks, including the sheet let down for Peter in Acts 10:10-11 which specifically mentions four corners. Remember, my target dates are Oct (10) 10-11, an amazing parallel.
At that point I began to watch my mileage closer and noting it, so I didn’t miss the big event. As I neared Exit 211 in Montana, I was at 144,443, so I pulled off the exit to enable me to stop and take a picture. However, somehow I had slightly miscalculated as it didn’t come to 144,444. So instead of going down some road, I felt the need to pull back on I-90. Just after passing mile marker 212, the odometer registered 144,444 miles and I pulled off the interstate, put on my blinkers, and snapped some pictures. There was a sudden overwhelming sense of the Lord’s Presence to so time my trip thus so.
After stopping a few minutes, taking several shots of my dash, I pulled back on I-90 with a profound sense of destiny knowing this trip is carrying far more importance than even I knew. It was then I saw the sudden profound significance of passing marker 212.
About two years ago, I began seeing the number 212 very frequently. That fall, I moved to 21200 E Country Vista Dr in Liberty Lake. Still I saw the number. One day as I asked the Lord what it meant, He reminded me that the boiling point of water is 212 degrees. With that I coined the phase that 212 represents the ‘flash point of change‘. It is when the visible becomes invisible as water boils out of the pan and turns to steam. About that time, Gateway in CdA scheduled a conference beginning specifically on 2-12-2006. It was meant to mark the anniversary of the great Latter Rain movement that began on 2-12-1948 in Canada. That movement restored the five-fold ministry gifts and spawned the great healing revivals of the 1950’s.
Also during this time, someone sent me an email with a website link, which I rarely ever, ever click on. This one was called www.simpletruths.com. As I did, the opening page featured a huge 212 number with several interesting comments. I learned it was an entire motivational series called 212, complete with books, DVD’s, posters, key rings and cups. Appropriately, it had to do with going the extra degree to gain accomplishments. The wording went like this: At 211 degrees, nothing happens. But, if you go the extra degree to 212, water boils, steam is produced, and steam powers locomotives. It was quite impressive and I ordered the book with great delight and told the leadership at Gateway in CdA about it for the conference on 2-12-06.
Now you can see the parallel that left me quite impressed with the Lord and how He orders our steps and stops. At Exit 211 in Montana, nothing happened. I had to get back on I-90 and pass mile marker 212 before I turned 144,444 miles. Since my entire focus right now is on water, you can see that the boiling point of water, the vanishing point is what is being profoundly emphasized. Selah.
I have many other stories just in the last three weeks of travel that I could tell you about, but they will have to wait. I want to leave you with a sense of awe and wonder that our Heavenly Father is orchestrating and designing a prophetic message with the waters of America that will be poured into the 4th corner at Eastport, Maine. With the Lord’s help, I will pour out your waters and prayers on Oct 10-11. I plan to be there that evening and if possible spend the night in my van praying. I want to be on the eastern shore at sunrise, just as amazingly as I was on the western shore at sunset. “From the rising of the Sun, until it’s going down, the Lord’s Name is to be praised!” … a quote from Psalms. I believe a NEW DAY is dawning on America. Surely we can all see we have reached the boiling point!!! Let us welcome the Rising of the Son of God upon the hearts and lives of men and women and children as we enter confidently into Kingdom purpose and destiny. Beloved, we have spent our lives being prepared for the days before us. Surely we have come to live in the Kingdom for such a time as this. Come to think of it, it is so appropriate that my first piano CD, is titled “Morning Glory”. The Glory of the New Day!!! Good Morning - Glory!!!
Change is happening. September was called the month of suddenlies and suddenly, Sarah Palin was nominated for vice president and suddenly the economies of America and the world are being shaken. Who could have imagined the events of September??
If you receive this email newsletter in time, please join me in prayer for America on Oct 10-11 as I stand and scan the horizon off the east coast of northern Maine. Pray for my protection as I travel north the next three days and also that I will be bold and declare and decree the words of the Lord for this nation. My greatest concern is that I not come so far with so great a sacrifice and miss the mark of speaking and declaring HIS Heart and Word.
Thank you for your faithful friendship, prayers, and financial support. If you find it in your heart’s desire to send support, it will be gratefully acknowledged and utilized. It has been a huge expense and undertaking, but the Lord is faithful. Should you decide to be a part of it, call or let me know. Let your gift be a joy to you to give and my joy to receive.
I will be following with some reports as soon as I am able. Be mindful that I can’t always check emails, but I do try to respond to each and every one and keep up with voice mail. So be patient with me if some time lapses.
Next week, I will be spending some time in Massachusetts and driving to Long Island, NY. That is another good reason to pray for me. The following week I will be in Delaware and working my way to North Carolina to see my son, Josh, at Ft Bragg and also go to Moravian Falls. I’ll try to keep you posted.
May the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ fill each of you with confident hope and expectation as we become His lights shining in a darkened world.
My love to all of you,
Carla
