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.
