Dearest Friends across America!!

Blessings and Greetings to all of you from Liberty Lake!! I trust you are enjoying these gorgeous summer days and already sensing the hint of fall in the air and the buzz of back-to-school shopping and expectation.

I’m choosing to send this out to you on 8-08-08 for the obvious reasons we all need some new beginnings and breakthroughs. It is a once in a lifetime date and I'm sharing a once in a lifetime open door.

If this newsletter gets long, take it in bytes. You don’t eat a whole pie at once, do you? Print this one out. What takes me hours to write you can read in minutes, so what’s the problem? If you are those who have trouble downloading, let me know and I’ll try to break it up for you.

As fall approaches I need to share something of utmost importance with you. I don’t know that I have ever shared anything more serious as our nation continues to totter on the brink of moral and financial disaster. The distraction of pending elections and financial survival keep us insulated from the fears and concerns we all feel. As with Queen Esther and the saving of the Jewish nation, when the enemy had a plot, God already had a plan in place. Let us not lose sight of the Hope of His Glorious Divine Intervention in the knotted affairs of men, politics, economics, and religion. Surely we too, have come into the kingdom for such a time as this.

For several weeks now I have been feeling the gnawing intensity of the intercession over America that started in 2000 when I began collecting and praying over the waters of our country. Not really sure why I was doing it, except that it gave us a prophetic picture of the unity of streams coming together in one mighty flow. Many of you participated in this amazing journey of gathering and pouring out the waters as we met in your cities and at the shorelines of rivers, lakes, and oceans. You have been with me in the mystic way of the Spirit that links us together even when we are apart. If you have been part of the water journey, this email will be especially meaningful.

Last month, I shared with you that I felt the Lord was speaking to me about going to Eastport, Maine. This is the far northern and easternmost city of our nation and the fourth corner of the country for me to stand and pray on the shores and pour out the waters. While I have always wanted to visit the beauty of the northeast in the fall of the year, the idea of going out, hanging out, and being out for several weeks was more than I could bear.

In June and July, I was in and out numerous times into Washington and Idaho stretching myself far too thin, and trying to do what it took to keep my boat afloat. When I returned last week, I was exhausted and upset. Offerings and honorariums are down and all the expenses are up. At one AG church is southern Idaho I ministered in two wonderful Sunday services. The church treasurer handed me a check for $75. I was heartsick as I had so needed the income for upcoming rent and other expenses. The beautiful couple who had arranged the meetings graciously met me at the door with a generous personal check, but I was still so grieved I didn’t want to ever subject myself to stingy church people again. In fact, I refused the check, something I have never done. It was not that they were poor, the treasurer was a tightwad. Why is it some people want the most from me for the least from them? This bargain mentality has so invaded the church that it has crippled and destroyed many genuinely anointed itinerant ministries willing to go to the small places and starved out the best of us.

Fortunately, not everyone is like that and if it were not for generous and gracious people like yourselves, I would have quit a long time ago. What has happened, however, is that my confidence in who I am and what I do has been badly shaken. I wonder if I’m just crazy and hearing God at all. The fact is, I’m so deep in debt right now from traveling that I don’t know how I’ll ever get out, unless He intervenes. It began for me when I moved to Moses Lake in 2002 and tried to set up housekeeping again for Josh and I. Before I knew what hit me, I was way over my head and by the time I left in 2005, I had more debt that I ever dreamed possible and since then, I've added to it. I know many of you are facing similar crisis and my heart goes out to all of those who are going and doing all they know and it still isn’t enough.

I’m taking the risk of being vulnerable with you that you might understand why I’m not in a big hurry to drive to Maine and stick myself out there again. While some of you may admire my gumption to drive across the country by myself, you haven’t seen me in my weak and lonely times when I wonder what it’s all about. At those times, I especially need to hear from you. If the Lord brings my name before you to call or pray, please do it. If He drops the idea of sending a check off in the mail, please listen. I can only interpret your silence as apathy or indifference. I send out numerous emails and hear from so few. Don’t worry, I still love you.

I understand that many of you are very, very busy, just making ends meet yourselves. I have stayed in many of your homes and heard your stories. I agree with you for financial miracles for you and your families. I want it to be a joy to give to me or any other ministry. And yes, all gifts are tax deductible. I can’t tell you how grieved I am when I “get dropped” as people tighten the budget or worse yet, stop because of other issues as they decide you don’t merit their donation anymore. That happened last year when I lost a major base of support because I didn’t bow to the pressure of denouncing the possibility of female-appearing angels. That little episode rippled out to several others who listened to a defamation of character without ever talking to me. How grievous that must be to the Lord when our love and friendships are so shallow.

As it has become increasingly hard to rely on offerings and donations, I have endeavored to do several other things. I still carry some jewelry, my CD’s, Akiane’s books, and most recently some excellent EMF (Electro-Magnetic Frequency) shields for cell phones and computers designed by my friends, Alyosha and Jody Ryabinov. Ask me about them. Also, I’ve been informing you of the organic whole foods produced by Uri International as I try to build a residual income. My other options seem to be to quit ministry and work for Walmart. Lord, help me. I hear some of you sighing like “Well, that’s too bad, but it’s not my problem.” And therein, seems to lie my problem. I’m not anybody’s problem. I’m far too dependent on the kindness and sporadic generosity of people and frankly, I don’t like it. Would you??

So, why am I even thinking of going to Maine?

I don’t know about you, but it seems the Lord gives me an impossible task at the most inconvenient times and when I already feel life is huge and impossible. I think it is His way of pulling us out of ordinariness and requiring us to lift our sights and our faith into the realm of the supernatural. And HE loves this country!!!

Last month I shared with you my previous experiences of going to Neah Bay, WA, Imperial Beach, CA and Key West, FL, praying at 3 touchstone corners of America. I also wrote to you of my first supernatural trip to Maine in Nov, 2004, and my second trip the next year, July 2005. I believe it is this third trip to Maine, specifically Eastport, that will top off the journey of a 48 state prayer journey. I just casually used the words “top off” and if you look at Eastport, ME, it is surely a top off place.

In mid-July as I was wrestling with the Lord over going, I happened to go to the office of the apartments where I live during the day. I usually wait until the office closes and go to the conference room in the evening to get online so I can utilize the wireless signal and it’s quieter in the evening. This particular day, I had an evening commitment so I went over mid-afternoon. I noticed we had a new lady manager, so I stopped by to say hello and ask about the former manager. The assistant manager, a man, knows I love the apartments and speak well of them. After greeting the new manager, I turned to leave. He quipped to the new lady, “Yea, she’s our main representative.” What an odd thing to say, I mused, as I started to open the front door. It was then I realized he had prophesied to me and didn’t know it. For in my spirit, I heard, “Yea, she’s our Main-e representative”. I couldn’t help but cast a smile upwards and admit the Lord got me right then and there.

In July, I spent about 5 days in the Tri-Cities area feeling hung out and strung out with a minimal offering to show for it. I was tired and grieved. On my way home I was determined NOT to go to Maine. I’m just not doing it!! And that’s that!!

The next night I went to the apartment office to catch up on emails. I also decided to call my friend, Susan East, who lives near Chambersburg, PA. I wanted to let her know that Kathie Walters will be coming to Spokane on August 22-24. I had met Kathie at a conference Susan had hosted in February and Kathie had prayed and spoken healing and insight to me after the Jezebel spirit ordeal in Nov and Dec. I hate to break it to you, but sometimes there ain’t nobody meaner than church folks who operate in a self-righteous spirit. If you’ve ever gone thru’ a church split, you know what I mean. And altho’ there was a split in my church following the attacks upon me and several others last year, I’m happy to tell you that the good guys stayed, and I’ve been able to return to the pastors, church, and people I’ve loved. I’ll leave it at that.

When I called Susan, her voicemail kicked in and I left a message. Awhile later she called all excited. She had been at a meeting near Gettysburg, PA at a church that is experiencing revival. She told me the location of the church was 7 miles west of Gettysburg on Hwy 30. I remarked to her that last year in August on my way back from New Jersey to Chambersburg, I had felt compelled of the Lord to drive all of Hwy 30 thru’ the Amish and Mennonite communities of Lancaster, PA and also historic Gettysburg. I passed that very church. Hwy 30 is called the Presidents Hwy because of Abraham Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address. I memorized it in 8th grade. Kind of interesting, I live in “Liberty” Lake and visited the Liberty Bell several years ago.

After the service, the pastor of the church had commented to Susan that he really wanted to keep the revival meetings going 7 nights a week. She told him she knew someone he should invite to come and mentioned my name to him. About the same time, she looked at her cell phone and noticed she had a message. It was me. I suppose it could be a coincidence. Ha.
She also told me of another man in Harrisburg who helps set up meetings for speakers and commented she thought I should come. I felt a shimmer of excitement in my spirit as she spoke and quickly tried to squelch it in the face of traveling that far when I had just made up my mind I wouldn’t.

However, I couldn’t seem to get Maine off the brain. Shortly after I had emailed you last month, I had even felt the Lord may have given me the date 10-10. I have been seeing 10:10 on my clocks all year attributing it to John 10:10, admitting there has been a thief that has come to kill, steal, and destroy. And doesn't that describe America? Killing unborns, stealing politicians and corruption, and the destruction of families? Yet, HE has come to give ABUNDANT life… then where is it????

On July 16, I tried to lie down for a short rest and to clear my head. I was packing up for a 12 day trip to the Boise and Twin Falls, ID areas, coming back thru’ the Tri-Cities and also Yakima, WA for a conference. As I tried to rest, there it was… Maine… on the brain again. This time I suddenly felt a tug to look at the scriptural reference I shared with you last month about Peter who went on the rooftop to pray and fell into a trance. Then a sheet was let down with four corners with all the unclean animals and the instructions to “Rise up, Peter, kill and eat.” Out of curiosity, I quickly rose up and grabbed my Bible. I was quite surprised and amused to find that the reference to the trance begins in Acts 10:10. AND in 10:11, I quote: “And he saw the sky opened and something like a great sheet lowered by the FOUR CORNERS, descending to the earth.” How’s that for confirmation?? Maybe God really is in this after all.

On July 17, I began my 350 mile drive toward Cascade, ID, north of Boise. I decided to call Susan again as the area code of Pennsylvania is 717 and it was 7-17 and I could wish her a happy 7-17 day! This number has also shown up repeatedly over a year, beginning with an unusual spiritual experience on 7-17-07. Last year, I even looked up numerous 7:17 scriptures. We talked for a short time as I was driving and she again mentioned the possibility of my coming to Pennsylvania. As we hung up, I told the Lord that it would be a very good day to hear from those PA folks if HE were truly leading me. After all it was 7-17. To my surprise, I got two more phone calls that day, both the 717 numbers of the pastor of the church and the area-wide meetings facilitator. Neither knew the other had called and Susan didn’t know either. The pastor called twice wanting to set up a time. I was feeling the Holy Ghost crunch of making a decision. In the next few days, they both called again to affirm their desire for me to come and set up some dates, now planned for Sept 28-Oct 6. I have always loved Pennsylvania and learned several years ago that my grandfather’s family came from north of Pittsburgh. But, that’s another story and a good one.

As I’ve been praying about all of this, I feel the Lord has given me a unique strategy to finance the trip and also include you on this monumental journey to the Eastport(al) of America. Considering Peter’s rooftop vision, I’d say Eastport(al) can be considered a rooftop and that Acts 10:10-11 happens to coincide with 10-10-11. As for the sheet, I continue to see the map of America before me and that our nation has many unclean beasts, creeps, and crawly things. I believe the command to kill and eat is not that we fight violence with similar violence calling down the wrath of God. I rather think the Lord is killing our prejudices (like tattoos:) and that He is taking the glorious gospel to the ‘gentiles’ of our times, the sick, weak, foolish, pierced, drugged, alcoholic, and immoral. Those who do not fit our religious paradigms and approval. Ouch.

Now it gets even better.

Right before my trip to the Boise area, I did something I had been meaning to do for a long time. I pulled out all the water bottles that were stored under my sinks, under the seats in my car and every other nook and cranny. I had felt the need to begin making the waters available to people for intercession and also funding. It was a strange sight to behold and I happened to take some pictures that I will attach. I emptied all the bottles and listed the newer waters as I poured them into a huge metal kettle to boil out any impurities. I wanted to put them in small bottles to send to people labeled: “America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee, and Crown They Good With Brotherhood, from Sea to Shining Sea.” There are about 200 waters involved.

Before filling the bottles, I felt led of the Lord to grab one of my tuning forks that is tuned to 528Hz. I have been studying light and sound for quite some time. About four years ago, I was introduced to the ancient solfeggio six-toned scale that was used in the ancient Hebrew culture and the early church until the 1300’s when our seven-tone scale changed things. You can verify this by looking up the individual syllables Ut- Re-Mi-Fa-So-La in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary. I want to share more about it, but this is already too long. I rang 528 Hz and stuck it into the boiling kettle of water. The reason I chose it is that it is the frequency that scientists use for repairing DNA. And surely the DNA of our country needs that!! So, all of the water in the small bottles carry that frequency as water carries sound. If this is a stretch for you, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

At present, I’m planning to set up and teach a seminar on sound and light, quantum physics insights, and demonstrate the tuning forks and their unique frequencies that facilitate healing to the body thru the original frequencies of the scale that were used in King David’s day and the Tabernacle of David. This is not new age stuff. This is scientific and reliable historical fact that has been stifled by religious mindsets and picked up by some new agers who were open to it.

In May I was honored to meet Dr Len Horowitz in Vancouver, WA when he spoke at a seminar about 528 Hz. He actually lives in Sandpoint, ID and is a man of great genius, courage, and integrity. He has written numerous cutting edge books concerning public health. He holds a master’s degree from Harvard in Public Health and isn’t just mouthing off like some “experts”. He is also a Messianic Jewish believer, who openly confessed he knows Jesus as Messiah. He has been a key player in the restoration of the original scale and is also a personal friend and co-worker with Marsuro Emoto, the Japanese scientist who has studied water and the effects of speaking to it. You can get Emoto's books “The Hidden Messages of Water” or “The True Power of Water” at Barnes and Nobles. You can also go to Dr Horowitz’s website: www.tetrahedron.org, or just google Dr Len Horowitz. He is a brilliant man and I sensed a humility in his personal quest to challenge corruption in high places and educate the public regardless of the cost and attacks on him personally.

When I met him, he was very interested in my gathering and mingling the waters and what I have done across America in intercession. He understood it from a scientific logical point of view. I’m telling you this so you can see that it is going to be of great scientific interest beyond the initial purposes of prophetic prayer and intercession in the days ahead. You are part of it. In fact, he invited me to a symposium on water next year in Toronto, Canada. This could get very interesting.

This is where you come in.

I have decided to take my several gallons of precious gathered waters and begin to make it available to people on a donation basis only. In other words, it’s not for free. As I’ve prayed, I felt I was to ask a minimum of $111 for the small bottles. You will remember that is one of my most anointed numbers and it actually began the summer of 2000 when the water journey took me westward and I poured the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific. Come to think of it, 8-08-08 is 888 X 111, for multiplied new beginnings. I was also quite delighted to realize recently that it is the interval between the six ancient solfeggio frequencies as they ascend or descend. I have always thought it was a transitional number for an anointing that brings alignment or tuning. I will share more about this in the seminar teaching which I'm hoping to have ready before I leave in Sept.

If your mind is going tilt and $111 is too much for a little water, you haven’t comprehended what I am telling you. Those priceless gallons have cost me dearly. They represent years on the road, dozens of changes, beds, meetings, and thousands of dollars in gas and miles plus hours of driving alone time in prayer and intercession over this great nation. If it’s too much to ask, don’t go further with me and spare me the griping. I can’t understand why that which has cost me everything should be cheap to someone else. If this is just a little water, you’ll miss the mystic beauty secrets and coming revelation that will shock and surprise all of us. I’ve seen glimpses of it and I’m amazed.

If you find it is too much personally, why not go together with some friends at church or intercessors? I’m looking for those who will partner with me financially for this roof-top experience in Eastport-al Maine and also will pray for me and my friend, Rainie, as we travel up the coastline of Maine. I’m also seeing the possibilities of us praying at the same time across America, with the gathered 528 Hz frequency tuned waters in your area and calling for the healing of our nation together on Oct 10-11. Truly He can heal our land and waters. By the way the timing of this happens to be the day after Yom Kippur and right before the Feast of Tabernacles. And to add to that it will be before the elections.

To those of you quick to act, I’m going to send you a delightful bonus. As I cleaned out my van recently, I found the small Israel stones quarried from the Dead Sea area where Joshua said “These stones have heard…” Last year, David Van Koevering gave me about 35 small rectangular cut stones to give out as I felt led. I kept forgetting about it and think they have been reserved for such a time as this, in connection with the waters. He gives out these same stones with his Quantum Physics teaching manuel about matter and rocks retaining a memory. The stones have a hole drilled in them for wearing around your neck on a cord. Some really feel these stones are still recording. Scary, isn’t it?

You can order David’s teachings thru his website: www.elsewhen.com. When you couple that with Emoto’s internationally recognized and respected study that water retains a memory you can see that we have entered a dimension beyond our current understanding. You can also google Emoto or water studies and you will be quite surprised at what you see. You must know we are party to something HUGE.

As of now, I’m planning to leave on September 15. I will be making a few stops in South Dakota, Minnesota, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. I am pressed for time to get across the country and meet my friend so we can journey up the coast. I’ll be spending several weeks on the east coast again, planning to stop and see Josh at Ft Bragg, NC. I still have dates open and if I come, ask you to be especially sensitive to my personal and financial needs. I’ll need to lean on and lean into you for strength and help. If I cannot come on my way out, I’ll try to schedule in some meetings on my way back to Washington. Just get it touch with me soon.

It is not an easy thing I do. I’m not too happy to have to leave my apartment again, but I cannot bear the thought of letting it go and floating around the country indefinitely. I also hate to leave my beautiful piano that has brought great comfort to me and hopefully joy to you. It is NOT paid for and your gifts are appreciated, needed, and applied. Be sure and get on my website: www.carlareed.com to order CD’s and other products. I’m hearing wonderful reviews on the latest piano CD “Still Waters.” All the CD’s are only $10, so get your order in. Remember I can take credit card donations or orders or you can go to paypal.com. Call me if you have any questions or problems.

With that I close this long epistle to the chosen who have touched my life with theirs and trust we will continue to partner together as we see the Lord restoring this country.

“America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee..”
And Crown Thy Good With Brotherhood,
From SEA to Shining SEA!!
So BE…. It.

Love to all…. You are the finest people in America. I’m sure of it.
