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 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 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,

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,
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. 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,

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

Dear Friends,

Blessings to all you!! I wanted to give you a quick update as I’m preparing to leave on Tues, Sept 16. I had hoped to leave tomorrow, Monday, but have too many details yet to tend to. Also, tomorrow, I need to have some additional work done on the Glory Van to assure it is in optimum shape for another cross country run. I’m estimating around 12,000 miles before I return home. At this time, I’m looking at the probability of spending Thanksgiving in North Carolina with Josh at Ft Bragg, before heading back home. He is scheduled for deployment again next year and I’d really like to max out my time with my young handsome soldier son. I’m planning to drive through South Dakota this week and see my oldest son, Steven, and family and also my daughter, Anne, and family, and at least 8-9 of my grandchildren. It will be a grand time!!!

A special thanks to you who have emailed or sent words of encouragement, and included financial support for the trip. You put the wind in my sails. It is impossible to go and do without the generosity and kindness of those who blow upon the coals of prayer and intercession and send me on my way. I’m honored and humbled by your love and concern for me and our great nation. I want to assure you that the one who goes and those who stay at home are laborers together with mutual rewards for all. I realize that many of you travel with me vicariously and I would so love to be able to take you along. I’m hoping to keep good records and get some photos to include you as much as possible.

After the initial stumbling and bumbling around over to go or not to go, I have felt the increasing confidence of the Lord that HIS plans are being carried out and He will guide me safely to the northeast corner of Maine, down the eastern coast, and back home again. It is on HIS Faithfulness to me in the years past, that I can step out by faith and trust Him to do exceedingly abundantly above all I’ve asked or thought. It’s hard to explain, but when I finally finished loading the van, start it up, record my mileage, and drive off, I enter into a zone like a Holy Ghost jet stream that propels and compels me forward. I feel His Hand and I feel His Pleasure that I am willing to go and willing to trust Him. Recently someone prayed over me and saw an angelic fire tunnel all the way across the country. In these most turbulent of times, that is a great comfort.

I’m reprinting my itinerary again, so you can pray and travel with me. I know there are going to be many Divine appointments along the way. I still have some open dates, times, and flexibility.

Beloved friends, keep me in your heart and prayers. As the Lord leads you, call, email, and if you can lend a financial hand, it will be gratefully acknowledged. All mail and checks will be forwarded to me, or you can donate through paypal.com or thru credit/debit cards. I can also make my Bank of America account number available to you for a direct deposit and quicker accessibility. Just call or email me when you’re ready and able. Let it be your joy to give and mine to receive.

I've been battling some cold and lung congestion for about 2 weeks. Agree with me for my immune system to fight off any invaders and that I will be able to breathe freely and fully as I go. Keep speaking blessings of good health, wealth, and wisdom as I travel.

If any of you are interested in obtaining a small bottle of the gathered waters, let me know as well. We’ll work it out for you. I think it will be a significant way for all of us to participate and see into the unity of prayer, intent, and purpose as we continue to believe for restoration in our lives and in our country. Things are changing. I believe we have reached a critical mass of prayer and that we'll see many long awaiting changes come forth.

Today, the Lord reminded me of the book of Ruth. She gleaned in the corners of the fields … handfuls on purpose. I trust we too will glean in the four corners of America and find that our Boaz, our wonderful Lord, has been quietly watching us. As I prepare to step into the waters of the fourth corner in Eastport, ME, know you are truly with me as the Voice of Many Waters.

My love and admiration to the finest people in America. I’m sure of it.

Hello everyone!!

Blessings to all of you during these wonderful days of His Glory being revealed to and among His people. I can’t help but feel the SURPRISE of the LORD will bring the DEMISE to many stubborn strongholds that are crumbling around us. Much is being shaken severely and we are watching in stunned disbelief as political and national events are being paraded before us, principalities and powers are being shaken, taken out, and will fall.

Plans are coming along well for my trip to the east coast. Much has happened to confirm the Lord’s will and plan for me to go, and HIS purposes are unfolding as I step forward.

Thank you, beloved friends, for standing with me in prayer, encouragement, and financially. You’re the best of the best. I’m sure of it.

I apologize if I “troubled your waters” by anything I shared in the last newsletter. It is a delicate dance to be real without speaking that which has the potential to offend. We all disdain phony ministers and people, but I think we’re more afraid of those who dare to be real and vulnerable. Most of you know me well and I trust my heart with you and hope you’ll be patient with me during these turbulent and momentous times.

For those of us who live on the edge, we can get and sound a little “edgy”. I have just come thru an intense month of intercession and prayer and the burden of it has lifted this week. We sometimes pray and intercede for that which we don’t understand and labor in travail like a woman in childbirth. If you’ve ever given birth, or been with your wife, you know rationality goes out the window in the pain of the process. At those times we don’t need scrutiny and rebuke, we need comfort.
Thank you for your patience and kindness.

Now for some good news!

Yesterday, I received a wonderful phone call from Australia. I had met a lady at a meeting where I spoke in Seattle in June. She and her husband had stayed for several months in America, were from Australia, and on their way back home to Brisbane. She told me she wanted me to come and minister in her country and I agreed it would be wonderful…. Someday.

She called me yesterday to inquire about the Uri International products, the Feast, who someone had told her about. I shared the information with her and we talked for about 10 minutes. Then she called me back the second time. With that she hesitated, but said she felt the Lord had given her a word for me. I welcomed it as I don’t get a lot of words these days from people I hardly know.
She described seeing me in a vision of watching me standing on the sand, looking at my feet in the water, scanning the horizon and waters. She said the Lord wanted to teach me more about multi-dimensions and that a door was being opened. She said the Lord wanted to reactivate gifts I had allowed to go dormant.

I had to grin. She had no idea I was planning to go to the northeast corner of Maine, Eastport-al and stand on the seashore and put my feet in the water. I do believe this was the Lord’s gracious confirmation coming from as far away as Australia, that I am on course, and to proceed with confidence and expectation.

Later that day, she called me the 3rd time, explaining she has never called someone she hardly knows, 3 times in one day. With that she said she and her husband, a scientific type, felt they were to tell me to study the ocean currents. Australia has been on the cutting edge of discovery of missing links to the knowledge of the ocean currents that connect the world in the waterways. So many exciting discoveries!! Interestingly, the Bay of Fundy off the coast of Maine is well know for extraordinary high tides. So, I’m wondering if my praying off the coast of Maine will have world wide effect. God always seems to take you beyond what’s comfortable and do more than you can imagine.

Today, I called a pastor near Waterville, Maine, who I met three years ago. Back then, he was pretty surprised that a van with Washington plates was parked in his church lot as I was attending a conference in 2005. I have been “meaning to” call for a month, when today it came to me suddenly, “do it”, and I caught him on the 2nd ring. He remembered my coming and when I told him that the Lord was directing me to drive to Maine again, he welcomed what I shared and I will be meeting with him and his wife, and church while I’m out there on Oct 10-12. He and others have also done numerous prayer trips to Eastport and believes that the area is very key to the nation as well. They have recently renamed their church “Eastgate” Apostolic Center and it becomes official next week with a conference with Georgian and Winnie Banov. Their son just married the Banov’s daughter and they will be working together. He assured me that many prayer assignments have come together in Maine and that they understood the importance of what I was bringing.

This last month has been an intense time of prayer and travail in my soul for this very personal journey and the magnitude of what I am seeing and feeling. I am compelled by the Spirit to take the waters of America to the far northeast. This week more insight came regarding eastern gates as I considered the entrance to the Garden of Eden, the eastern gate of the Temple in Jerusalem facing the east. I believe it is the strategic time of the Lord to stand at the eastern gate of Maine, in the waters, and pray as the Lord directs me in proclamation and decree.

Who am I to do such a thing? I don’t know, except that I have endeavored to be obedient in every assignment and believe this is a crowning touch to the 4th corner of America. The lady in Australia mentioned a door or portal without knowing of my intentions. The 4th letter of the Hebrew, dalet, means a door. So does the 4th letter of Greek, delta, talk of an opening. Four is the number of creation and we also speak of the 4th Dimension. Surely we gaze thru’ a glass darkly, straining to see into the unseen, yet believing with all our hearts that He is leading.

Another picture I have had is the extending of tent pegs, an enlarging of territory as we call it. It feels like a tent peg is being hammered in the ground of this 4th corner. I truly pray we will come under HIS covering once again as a nation, in spite of the foolishness of our government and the wickedness that abounds. Where sin abounds, HIS Grace much more so abounds.

Thank you dear friends, for standing with me during these strategic days of prayer over America. Surely all of us are encouraged by the nomination of Sarah Palin as vice president. Who would have thought?

November is still being planned. I may go back to North Carolina and spend Thanksgiving with Josh before returning home.

That gives you a general idea of where I will be going. Your prayers and financial support are so needed and appreciated. Thank you for being faithful and generous.

If you read my last newsletter, you will remember that I am making a small bottle of the composite gathered waters of America available to you for prayer, anointing and as a point of agreement for the cleansing of our waters and land. We have so much to learn about it all. Let us honor the Lord and one another by acknowledging our waters flowing together in unity and purpose in prayer for our nation.

Also, I still have some of the David Van Koevering’s stones from Israel available to include as a gift to you with your donation of $111 for the waters. I'll include a listing of the waters as well. The last newsletter is available on the blog on the website: www.carlalreed.com and will explain what has been done and also my experimentation with the 528hz frequency that scientists use to repair DNA. It is the solfeggio frequency of Mi, a shortened version of the Latin word for miracles. Let’s believe for many!!

In all my traveling, I’ve never used a GPS, however, if anyone of you has one that I could borrow for this trip, I’d be grateful. When you get into the northeast and cities, it becomes more difficult to navigate with maps in heavy traffic. Thank the Lord for my atlas!!

Also, I’d really like a new camera. My trusty Kodak Easy Share is worn out and I have no flash. I had tried another Kodak, but didn’t like the way it handled and returned it. Perhaps someone would like to buy, donate, or loan a camera for this incredible journey.

Remember to get on the website to order CD’s. I just had a recent fun testimony, I’ll share here:
Hello there! It is always soooo good to hear from you.
I just had to share this happening with you I do believe it will encourage you.
On the morning of August 22 I woke up and was pondering on the day ahead and the date
8-22-08. I got up and was making my coffee and wandered into the living room to find a gift
from Daddy on the wall (there is a phenomenon in the heavenlies that is like a rainbow but
it is a circle of rainbow colors)
.
On the wall was a beautiful glory ring! I was so amazed that I just sat and stared and then I
began to find where it was coming from. I then noticed that the sun was shining through a
window and then reflecting off of a CD that had been inadvertently set up on its side. The glory of the Lord was filling the whole room with His presence. I ran and got my camera and then called some neighbors to come and see. What a beautiful gift on 8-22-08.
Oh yes the CD that was reflecting the sun and colors onto the wall was Morning Glory!!!!!
Love and Blessings,

Joyce

I will be leaving tomorrow for Seattle for about a week, returning for a couple of days in Spokane to attend the Healing Rooms Conference before leaving on Sept 15. All my mail will be forwarded and catch up to me on the road.

If it is on your heart to donate to the ministry and help finance this trip, it would be easier to have you go to paypal.com or call and email a credit/debit card number. It gets into my account reserve so much faster. About $1000 has come in for the trip expenses, but much more will be needed.
My love to all of you. Keep me tucked in your heart and prayers as I go and go with me. You calls, emails, and words from the Lord are welcome.

Water Listings and Pictures

2008-08-08T12:21:00.000-07:00

These are the pictures of my vast partial assortment of treasured rocks, sand, shells, and waters across America. I poured out the most recently added waters into a large pan to boil. I then struck the 528 Hz tuning fork to let it ring as I dipped it into the waters to encode the frequency as water carries sound. The 528 Hz is used by scientists to repair and restore DNA. By faith, I believe we will see the DNA of America restored as we become the Voice of Many Waters speaking healing and mercy into the land and seas. After boiling the water to remove impurities, I filled small bottles and labeled them: 'America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee... And Crown Thy Good with Brotherhood From Sea to Shining Sea' The Waters of America Gathered by Carla Reed. For Prayer Purposes Only

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.

Dearly Loved of the Father,

Blessings to each of you once again. It has been awhile since my last email letter, so I want to catch you up on all that has happened just in the last month or so. I never cease being amazed at the diversity of people, places, and events that can happen in a short period of time.

Many of us feel like we are in accelerated time, cramming more in a week or month than some people do in a year. I’m sure I’ve lived more than one lifetime already. I’ve certainly driven more miles than many people ever do in a lifetime.

So here goes… but first the “announcements.”

1. I’m resending the attachment for the new piano CD titled “Still Waters“. Some were not able to open it and I’m hoping that can be remedied. Those who have listened are enjoying it and I’m confident you will too. The CD’s are only $10. So order one for yourself and a friend. I know people copy CD’s (I’m guilty too), but I ask you to order for others as that is the way I make my living. Thanks for being sensitive. Also, get online and order any of the others that you do not have. The Mysteries of the Deep CD continues to be the most popular and I love hearing testimonies about it. Send me yours.

Remember, I can take checks, credit cards, or you can use Paypal. Call me. 509-599-0433

2. I’m hearing many fresh reports and concerns expressed about food shortages and the need to have resources on hand. As I hear about it, I’m compelled to once again encourage you to visit the website for Uri International. These are complete live organic whole foods that have been dehydrated, vacuum sealed, and packaged for optimum nutrition. All you need is water. What better way to get what you need! Visit the website to listen to the presentations and facts about our modern food supplies. The website is www.uriinternational.com/urisong. My member number is #24169. There is a one time $9.95 fee to sign up and you can order as much as you want every month without signing up. If you do, I strongly urge you get the one time - first time only package deals to fill your food reserves and make it part of your monthly food budget. I’m always amazed that people will spend $35 on one or two meals eating out and think it’s too expensive to buy a 30 day supply of optimum nutrition for the same amount. I have been absolutely amazed at how the products have revitalized my own health and to my surprise, changed a lot of my tastes. In fact if I try to put something in my mouth that isn’t necessarily good for me, I can hardly swallow it. My body is going: “Get that outta here!” I’ve even been able to lose several pounds ‘cause it’s so nutritionally satisfying without the calories and carbs. Give it a go.

The month of June was very busy. On June 6, I received an email in the evening concerning the death of a very special long time friend, Leslie Crevier, 58, in Elkton, SD. Leslie had bravely fought against a cancerous tumor and slipped into the arms of Jesus that morning. She had her husband, Marc, were mom and dad to my youngest son, Joshua, in the year 2001 when he stayed with them for several months while I made an extensive trip to the northwest. That trip positioned us for the following year, 2002, when we moved to Moses Lake, WA. Leslie was also my favorite hairdresser and no one could do hair like she did. For those of you who ever heard the story about my purple hair dream, she was the one who came to my rescue. Leslie had a way of working on your heart while she worked on your hair. She was a treasure to all who knew her.

I received word that evening at 8:00 pm and yearned deeply to be at her funeral, see all the Crevier family and many long time friends who would be there. Something about a funeral pulls us back together and puts things in perspective. At 9:00 pm, I closed up my computer and said, “I’m going.” With that I hurried back to my apartment, packed in record time and left the next morning at 7:00 am to begin the two day, 1300 mile drive to Sioux Falls, SD. Amazingly, my schedule was clear for about 10 days. There I was able to stay with my oldest son, Steven, and his family and able to attend the funeral on Monday, June 9 in Brookings, SD. While the reason for the trip was saddening, the scenery across Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota was breathtakingly beautiful and greenery at it’s finest. It was as if the Lord had laid out the green carpet across the vastness of the land. Due to all the rain, the landscapes were lush and dotted with wildflowers, trees, and bushes. It was exquisite to say the least.

Interestingly enough, I had been feeling very, very homesick for my family in SD. Because of the trip, I was able to see both my son and his family, my daughter and her family, both my mom and dad. All in different places about 150 miles apart. All in all, I was blessed to see 8 of my 11 grandchildren who live in SD and find out that #12 is on the way. I’m delighted and my grandma quiver is getting full.

My mother is living near my youngest brother in Neligh, NE. I was with her the night the tornado ripped thru a boy scout campground about 100 miles away in Iowa, across the river from Omaha, NE. Still too close for comfort. How fragile our lives seem to be. Let us celebrate life, friendships, and family as much as possible!! Truly, I celebrate each of you and how blessed and honored I am to have you in my life and know that the Lord has truly graced us to enjoy our days on earth together.

I returned on June 15, with a few days to regain my momentum, when I was blessed to host two wonderful Christian men from New Jersey, Pastor Jim Mandel and his delightful sidekick, Sam. They had desired to visit the Spokane area to meet with several people and leaders and see the beautiful northwest. I drove them across the state of Washington for a meeting in the Seattle area and we came back thru part of the beautiful Cascade mountain range and lush forests. Sam was sure beauty like this was only on postcards. I hope I’m enticing you to come out as well.

It was my delight to be with three wonderful New Jersey churches and their pastors in February and we began to see some wonderful manifestations in the Glory of the Lord’s Presence. You can access some excellent pictures at www.Glorytothenations.org. Be sure and look at all the pictures. One of them was taken of me as I prayed for people and a beautiful circle of light is at my side. Many feel that digital photography is capturing angelic presence and this is certainly an amazing picture.

This weekend, I am headed back to the Seattle area to some meetings that were scheduled earlier. I will once again drive I-90 across the state, praying as I go and enjoying the beauty of our Creator. To date, I think I have driven every mile of I-90 from Seattle, WA to Boston, MA. I like to think of Psalms 90 when I consider this major interstate ribbon across America.

Speaking of America, I must tell you I grieve over the insanity and foolishness of our government, judges, politicians, and media. But that is not truly the land of America, the Beautiful. We have arrogant men and women who have usurped, corrupted, and manipulated their way into leadership and who have lost touch with common people. I consider them trespassers and traitors, and I have never witnessed such fear mongering and tragedy across our country. I'm grateful for Godly leaders at such a time as this.

With that thought, I need to share something VERY IMPORTANT!!

Please bear with me to the end.

Beloved friends, I have an important prayer request. I’m asking you to pray and intercede for me as I consider making another cross country trip to the far northeast this fall. Ever since my trip to Florida and the east coast in Jan, Feb, and March, I have been stirred in my spirit about our nation. You may recall I was able to drive to Key West, Fl to stand and pray at the southernmost point of America. Those amazing pictures are available on my website: www.carlareed.com.

While there in Key West, the Lord reaffirmed my call to intercede and cover this land in prayer. He once told me I’d go to all 50 states, and I now have stood in 48 of the 50, with only Alaska and Hawaii remaining. Also, I have stood to pray in three corners of America. Joshua and I went to Neah Bay, WA, the far northwest tip of Washington state in 2002. In 2006, on a trip to southern California, I linked up with key leadership and stepped into our border waters at Imperial Beach, south of San Diego. At that time, we also prayed at Mt Solidad, the site of the huge cross that has since been covered up because it offends the ACLU. How ridiculous! In all three corners, I have poured out the waters (your waters) of America praying for our great nation.

At present, the only corner missing is northern Maine. I have been to Maine twice already in past trips, but not the far northwest region on the Atlantic Ocean. Since returning from the east coast in March, I keep feeling the need to wrap things up and get in that fourth corner. I’m not sure I understand completely why, but I know the Lord makes many things known as we go in faith. HE loves America too.

Today, as I contemplated the trip, I’m overwhelmed with the enormity and expense of another cross country trip, but also with the enormity of the honor and blessing to represent the Lord’s heart over this nation. I have tried to dismiss it in my mind as unnecessary, but it keeps surfacing in my spirit like a Divine indigestion. Just doesn’t seem to go away.

Also today, the Lord reminded me of the vision of Peter on the roof top of Joppa in Acts 10:8-20. Be sure and read it. He had a vision of a sheet let down from heaven with many unclean creatures in it. Then he was commanded three times to kill and eat. After steadfastly refusing to eat the unclean meat, the Lord spoke to him: “ What God has cleansed and pronounced clean, do not you defile and profane by regarding and calling common and unhallowed or unclean.”

I see America. It is a sheet full of unclean animals and people. Typically a sheet has four corners. I have a large map of the United States on my wall above my desk. It is full of pins where I have traveled. As I look up and pray over our country, I grieve over the terrible atrocities of abortion, pornography, immorality, drug and alcohol addictions, however, I’m reminded He still has a purpose and a plan. He sends us to those we call unclean and unholy. He wants to visit them too.

A few years ago I had another similar vision. I was sitting in a church meeting in Framingham, MA, where I had just met John Paul Jackson of Streams Ministries who was pastoring a new work there called The Bridge. Another lovely couple, Joe and Julie, had arranged for me to come and I was quite mystified how it came about. That was the year in 2004 when I flew into Boston to pray at Plymouth Rock and visit the Boston Statehouse. As I sat in worship, I saw another map of the United States. This time it was like America was hanging on a clothesline with the clothespins on Washington and Maine. At that time, I had not even considered going to Maine. Surely, America has been hung out to dry.

Within moments the thought went thru my head that I wanted to go to Maine. In fact, I specifically thought of Portland, ME as I had already been to Portland, OR. I seem to do many things in doubles. With that a desire rose up in me, altho’ I had no idea how it might happen.

After the meeting, a precious lady named Rainie came up to me. She mentioned she had heard what I did with water. She was from the coast of Maine and her family once had the purest water in the region, bottling it to send it all over. She handed me a sample of it. She wondered if I had any interest in going to Maine while I was in the area. Well, you could have blown me over. “I just thought of it“, I exclaimed!

She wondered if and when I could go. I said tomorrow is open and within 24 hours of my vision of the map of America on a clothesline, I was on my way to Portland, Maine and beyond. Rainie introduced me to my first Maine lobster on that trip and we prayed at the very springs her family had owned at Falmouth on Casco Bay. I marveled then at the ways the Lord speaks His directives to us.

The very next summer in 2005, I had driven to the east coast again. This time, I was blessed to visit Rainie, The Bridge, and many new friends in Massachusetts and also to drive up to Maine in the Glory Van to a conference held in Waterville (of course). At that time, connections were made in the Spirit from Washington to Maine once again, what I called the clothespin states.

This will be my third trip and far more extensive. I have always said if I go to the northeast again, I’d like to do it in the fall when the leaves change color. I guess that means change!!! I’m sensing this is my year to go. With gas prices continuing to rise, it doesn’t seem like a good time, but I doubt they’ll come down anytime soon and some predict continuing rising prices. I can’t seem to get rid of the nagging feeling that the time is NOW and ASAP. I would plan to be there before the elections. This might be one of the "maine" reasons I'm going.

The reason I drive instead of flying is simply this… the Glory Van is (tire)treading the land and every place I put my feet and my tires allows me to connect people, places, and prayers. We are linking hearts and hands across America and if you could see what I see, you would be so excited at how the Lord is laying such a vast network of His Divine connections. I wish I could take you all with me and I do in spirit.

I would not go unless I felt I was being sent. Peter in the vision was being sent to those he considered unclean and common. Three men from the house of Cornelius were waiting for him to accompany them back to Caesarea and there the Holy Spirit fell in unprecedented ways on the unlikely ones. By the way, I’m sure we’ve all noticed by now that the revival in Lakeland, FL, controversy and all, is being poured out on the unlikely ones.

Believe me, it is not easy to consider a trip of this magnitude in miles, expense, and mission. I’m asking you to pray about it with me and see what the Lord would have you do to help send me to this strategic fourth corner of America. At present, I’m anticipating leaving about mid-September and working my way across the country. I would be making many stops and setting up meetings to help defray the expenses of gas, travel, and keep the home fires burning. That means I will be driving mainly I-90 across the country with stops within reasonable distances of it. If you are en-route, get in touch with me. I can’t help but feel this might be one of the most important trips I’ve ever made and would ask you to stand with me in prayer and finances. Maybe your church would consider taking a special home missions offering.

In closing, thank you for your friendship, support, generosity and faith in me when I lose heart and hope. You are the wind in my sails and I need to hear from you. Please be praying about monthly support and being part of an intercessory prayer covering. I’m just me and I make no claims to fame, except I want to be obedient to His call:

“ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send and who will go for Us? Then said I, Here am I, send me.” Isaiah 6:8

With love to all,

Carla

To My Very Dear Friends:

It is rare for me to pass along a video clip, but this is such a rare jewel among many!

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/374280

Yesterday, on Saturday morning and this morning in Lakeland, FL at the revival meetings, a precious woman of God who I consider a true friend and mentor spoke and ministered there. Her name is Dr Clarice Fluitt and some of you have heard me talk about her. Some of you may even recognize the impartation into my own life of rhyme and song and some sayings I've used. Now you know where my occasional lapses into a rap come from. By the way, ask me sometime to share about the time the Lord downloaded a rap on me when I spoke a black church in North Carolina. It is one of my funniest stories.

Having traveled far and wide and heard many wonderful men and women of God, I know of no other who speaks and ministers more powerfully in the prophetic song, word, and message. You will be delighted at what you hear and see. It will be the antidote for whatever is ailing you. I myself felt wonderfully refreshed after listening. This morning's message at Ignited Church as Dr Clarice spoke will also be available, but wanted to pass this one along first. Be prepared for FRESH bread with lots of butter and jam!!! How sweet and sustaining are the words fresh from heaven.

I've known Drs George and Clarice Fluitt since 1999 when I first met them at a conference in Belle Fourche, SD called 'Revival in the Heartland'! How I wish I could tell you what happened then. It's a grrrrreaaat story. The Fluitts have ministered several times and been hosted by my fellow South Dakota friends, Cliff and Chris Crago, who pastor New Covenenant Tabernacle near Belle Fourche, which by the way is the geograpic center of the United States - that is all 50 states. Check it out on Rand McNally. I was blessed to be with Cliff and Chris last summer when I shared about the gemstones. They have a real western ranch and real hearts of love for God and people

Two years ago in 2006 when I was in North Carolina, I made two trips to California. On both of them I was able to stop in Monroe, LA and spend time with George and Clarice in their home. We still talk on the phone from time to time, but she is in great demand and you will see why. I have recommended her ministry to several and will continue to be very grateful for those who mentor and teach us the deeper things of the Lord. In addition to my deepest love and appeciation for the ministry of Ruth Ward Heflin, more than any other, Clarice has impacted my life with impartation, wisdom, and excellence.

I trust you will not just get "touched", but will feel the radical and powerful transformation when she opens her mouth to speak and sing. Be prepared to laugh!! I know of no other like her. She has many humorous stories to share and you will laugh and love all that Father is doing in this marvelous hour of revival! What Glorious days, these days are!!

Let me know what you think and be greatly enriched and blessed in His Glorious Grace!!!

Love to all, Carla

E-News- Recent trip to Beautiful Idaho & Pictures

Dearest Friends,

Blessings to each of you once again!!

I trust you are enjoying receiving the emails and I’m especially delighted to send you some magnificent pictures I took on this most recent trip. I think they will tell the story of our Father’s creation far better than I can paint with words.

I left on April 10 to drive 400 miles into the beautiful Idaho wilderness. Yes, some wilderness places can be beautiful!!!! I was blessed to speak at the Southern Idaho Women’s Aglow Retreat where we enjoyed the beauty of Living Waters Ranch and also the Beauty and Holiness of our Lord as we worshipped and fellowshipped with one another. We had a unique time of sharing and His Presence was sweet. Debbie James cooked up delicious wonderful meals for us and we feasted in many ways. You can go online to visit the site of this beautiful place at www.LivingWatersRanch.org. If you are needing a place for a retreat, conference, or get-away, this is it!!! You will be so blessed by the spirit of excellence in beautiful surroundings, generosity and hospitality offered by Christopher and Debbie James and their staff.

After the Aglow Retreat, I drove about 150 miles across Idaho to Idaho Falls and Blackfoot to visit several long time friends. The snow is still dusting the hills and beauty was everywhere. It’s a long drive across that part of the state and includes going thru a Nuclear Testing Site near Arco that has employed many in government jobs. It gets a bit barren crossing that area and you wonder what kind of stuff really goes on out there.

Toward the end of last week, I found my way across I-86 from Pocatello towards Twin Falls, ID then I-84 to a conference in Caldwell, ID. Mike and Ruth Lightfoot of Fathers House Ministries hosted a large gathering of many old time friends and new ones who came together in a special time of rejoicing and instruction.

Many have felt a fresh stirring of the Holy Spirit in the Boise and Nampa area. You might remember that is where Roland Buck first had major encounters with angels in 1977 or so. His book, Angels on Assignment, is a classic look at what happens when the supernatural invades the natural and how a church and lives are changed.

We will be seeing more angelic activity in the days ahead and I think it’s wonderful. Tho’ I have not yet seen an angel manifested, I have felt their presence about me. If you have had an angelic encounter, I’d surely like to hear about it.

Some of you may be aware that a major revival is breaking out in Lakeland, FL with Todd Bentley as the speaker. You can go to the Fresh Fire website www.freshfire.ca for information and watch live streaming from the meetings. This powerful move will surely affect America and our youth. I was blessed to be there at the Ignited Church in January when Kaye Beyer and Joshua and Janet Mills hosted a conference. Many wonderful ministries are based in Florida and the synergy will create and sustain the move of God we are all longing for. Let’s rejoice with them and go when you can!!!

Don’t forget to visit the website for updates, products, and pictures. I will be adding more as is possible. www.carlareed.com. You can also access all the previous newsletters and finish reading them if you didn’t have time or are new to the mailing list. If you change your email address, please let me know. That is how I lose people as emails are returned and I’d surely love to stay in touch with you.

Hoping many of you will also visit the website for the incredibly wonderful and affordable whole food products by Uri. Go to www.uriinternational.com/urisong for information. There is still a great Feast starter pack for new customers for $43.95. Be sure and call them at 1-888-940-4001 and mention the special code: MAG1-24169 to get the price. You can’t go wrong with a 90 day money back guarantee too.

Beloved ones, please continue to stand with me financially and prayerfully. You are each deeply appreciated and I’m so very grateful for the wonderful network of friendships across America. You support makes it possible.

There remains a large financial need to cover previous expenses and go forward. For any size donation, I’d like to bless you with the CD of your choice or “My Story”. For a $100 donation or more, I’ll be happy to send you Akiane’s art book. If you already have these items, perhaps you’d like me to send something as a gift to a friend or family member for a birthday or special occasion. Just let me know. You can see them on the website. Also be sure and visit Akiane’s website at www.akiane.com. You can send a check to me or use your credit card for a purchase or donation. Thanks so very much for your friendship and generosity.

I’d really enjoy hearing from you. I’m not too busy for a phone call or to read emails. I try to respond as quickly as I can. In a day when much is pulling on us, let us not be pulled apart.

My love to all,

Carla

Pictures from beautiful scenic Idaho! So much more to offer besides potatoes!

Dear Friends,

These are some pictures I took while traveling recently on Hwy 93 south of Missoula, MT into Challis, ID. The drive was like weaving your way thru a postcard folio. Several were taken at Living Waters Ranch near Challis and on my way back home from Boise to Coeur D Alene, ID via Hwy 95. Both live up to their 'scenic route' status.

Enjoy!

Blessings, Carla

__________________________________________

On Thursday, I will be leaving Liberty Lake to drive to Challis, ID and speak at the Southern Idaho Region Aglow Ladies Retreat. It will be a wonderful time of seeing many wonderful friends I’ve known for several years since first speaking at Aglow meetings in Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and Twin Falls. We will be meeting at the beautiful facilities and conference center known as Living Waters Ranch in Challis. Christopher and Debbie James have built and manage one of the most beautiful retreat and conference centers that I’ve ever seen. Add that to the rugged Idaho wilderness and it is a site to behold. If you are looking for a place to have a retreat or church camp, contact them. Their website is: www.LivingWatersRanch.org.

The drive from Liberty Lake to Challis will be about 400 miles and one of the most scenic in America. I ought to know. You drive I-90 to Missoula, MT and then take Hwy 93 south for about 200 miles into the Idaho wilderness. The drive from Salmon, ID to Challis has to be one the most beautiful anywhere. I’ve taken dozens of pictures on my way to or from, so it usually takes me twice as long to get there. Every turn seems to be a postcard as the highway winds along the beautiful Salmon River. Sacagawea of Lewis and Clark fame was born in Salmon, ID and a visitors’ center tells the story.

Just for fun, I’m going to tell you how I first met Christopher and Debbie. The year was 2001 and I was on my way back to the west coast shores to pray and pour out the waters of America. It was the first time I traveled alone. At that time, Josh, then 15, was getting travel weary and had an opportunity to stay with wonderful friends, Marc and Leslie, near Elkton, SD. It has been difficult to say goodbye, but knew he would have a good summer working with Marc on the acreage they had bought and were cleaning up.

That was the summer I spend two weeks in a Wyoming circuit that still connects me to many wonderful friends. I spoke nearly every night in a different place, but I saw the incredible landscapes of Wyoming and began to fall in love with the West. The first summer that Josh and I traveled west was 2000 when we drove via the southern part of the nation that took us thru New Mexico, Arizona and then to California to pray at the Pacific Ocean for the first time in San Juan Capistrano. I could hardly believe we had crossed the country by faith in that old white Plymouth Voyager that eventually wore out. I’ll never forget seeing the ocean for the first time in my life and thinking it was probably a “once in a lifetime” trip for Josh and I. At that time, I had no idea I would drive across America many times.

That particular trip set me up for some connections the next summer. We must see that our obedience in one thing paves the way and creates a grid of friendships that will allow us to build the net for the Kingdom of God. On the first trip in 2000, I received two invitations to Blackfoot, ID via an email correspondence. Neither party knew the other had contacted me and I had two excellent meetings. I’m very grateful for my friendship to Brian and Susanne Harrison who pastor Father’s House in Blackfoot and who first contacted me in 2000. We have maintained a valuable relationship and I consider Brian a true brother in the Lord.

Also that summer, I met a couple, Carey and Denise Warren of Idaho Falls, who invited me to come the next summer of 2001 and speak at a conference they were hosting. At that time I was sharing about the waters and spoke at their conference and my first Aglow meeting in Idaho Falls. Before I left, we prayed and poured the waters into the beautiful Snake River that runs thru the city and in the shadow of a huge Mormon Tabernacle. While there for several days, I kept hearing about a place somewhere called Living Waters Ranch. I had no idea where it was but every time I heard it, my spirit was quickened in curiosity. As I was leaving, I learned it would be on my way to Salmon, Idaho where I would be speaking at a home group. I decided to call and make a reservation for the night. The manager, Mark, told me about their facilities and made a lovely chalet available for me. It was gorgeous there!! It seemed fitting that the "waterlady" would find such a place.

I happened to arrive about time for the evening meal. Mark invited me to join him and the conference church group that was meeting over the weekend. After getting my plate and meal, a lady named Debbie came up to me. She said she realized I probably wanted time alone, but wanted to invite me to their church conference evening service and mentioned they had a wonderful worship team. I politely thanked her, but had no intentions of going to another meeting when my eyes could behold the beauty of the area outside a gorgeous chalet.

However, something in her invitation drew me and to my surprise I found myself getting ready to go to a meeting I had not planned to go to. I got there for part of the worship and just in time to see a couple dance together the most beautiful elegant dance I’d ever seen about the Bridegroom. It so touched my heart that I didn’t even want to stay for the rest of the meeting and quietly slipped out. I was just meant to see that dance.

The next morning, Christopher came over and offered to take me on a tour of the ranch. The church group was in the process of checking out and we stopped in one of the buildings long enough to meet up again with Debbie, the lady who invited me, and her husband, Rob S. They had just driven through South Dakota taking a daughter to college. I learned they lived near Mt Hood, OR and that many of the group were also from there. They invited me to come and see them if I got to the area. I took down their information and sure enough, I did get to see them and speak at their church near Welches, OR. I still maintain contact and relationships with many wonderful people who live on the mountain who I met by Divine Appointment in Challis, ID. In fact, I was just there last summer again meeting with these fine people of Church Alive.

Fast Forward: When I arrived that first time in Welches, OR in November, 2001, I heard the “rest of the story”. Debbie S had arrived early at Living Waters Ranch that previous August to help prepare for the conference guests who would be coming. She asked Debbie James if there was anything she could do to help. Debbie said they liked to put the names of guests on their doors and pray for them. She had noted my name had been hand-written in and added to the guest roster as I was not one of their conference attendees. She had put my name on the door of the chalet and prayed for me before I even stepped foot on the grounds. When she saw me enter the dining area with Mark, the manager, she thought it might be the Carla Reed she had prayed for. That is why she came over and invited me to the evening service. And, even tho’ I had not planned to go, I found myself strangely drawn by her invitation and had arrived just in time to see Bob and JoAnn dance their beautiful rendition of Jesus, the Bridegroom and the Bride.

Back to my first visit to Challis - or “Back at the Ranch…”

Christopher inquired as to what I did, and I remember wryly asking him: “Do you really want to know?” With that I explained what I was doing with water and he became very excited as he wanted me to pray with them at a well springs up the valley that they hoped to use to bottle water. He also took me back to the dining area to meet the couple who had danced the night before, Bob and JoAnn Rashford, who were working as staff.

As we talked I learned that Christopher and Debbie James had moved up to Idaho from the Tampa, Florida area and that Debbie’s father and step-mother also belonged to the same ministerial fellowship I did in Bradenton, FL, under Dr Gerald Derstine. Small world indeed. We became family. Bob and Jo Ann were in full time ministry and travel, working at the ranch that summer and traveled with Debbie’s folks, George and Barbara Ragland of Eagle Wings Ministry in St Petersburg, FL. In fact, to ‘Fast Forward’ again, I was blessed to stay with George and Barbara Ragland in January. I first met them in January 2002 and we have stayed in touch. Lots of connections sure came out of my stopping that August night in 2001.

The next summer of 2002, Joshua was traveling with me again and we were on our way to the west coast to pray at the Pacific Ocean at Astoria, OR, the end of the Lewis and Clark trail. That summer, we toured thru Yellowstone National Park and to pray at the Old Faithful geyser. After that, we made our way to Idaho Falls, so I could introduce him to my new friends. I also called to make reservations to stay at Living Waters Ranch as I wanted him to see that beautiful place.

When we got there, I leaned that Bob and JoAnn were working for the summer. I introduced Josh to them and we had a good time of visiting. That spring, Josh had turned 16 years old. We had been traveling for a few years and were both getting very road weary. He had taken his GED exam and easily passed, ending our home-schooling years of juggling travel and books. I had sometimes worried if he was learning all he needed to and then he sailed thru his GED tests. What a relief!! With that we wanted to start checking our colleges across the country as he wanted to study Aviation Maintenance. Since he was a small boy he has wanted to fly and learn how airplanes work. As we shared our intentions with Bob and JoAnn, they told us about Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, WA that was known for an outstanding program in Aviation Maintenance. They had lived in Moses Lake before entering the ministry where JoAnn had a dance studio. We took note of it with the idea we might try to visit the college on our way thru the state of Washington.

Within 2-3 weeks, we called the college and stopped in Moses Lake to check out their program as a possibility - some day. To our amazement, they would accept him at 16 years old and he could start that fall, about 6 weeks later. We learned that if I moved to Washington, the college would waive most of the out-of-state tuition. At that time tho' everything was in storage, we were still residents of South Dakota. However, Josh was still a minor and it would position us to have our own home again and allow him to fulfill his dream of going to college to study airplanes.

After several phone calls and much prayer, I knew that the Lord was giving us the direction we had been pleading for and that was to move to Moses Lake, WA. I had fallen in love with the northwest the summer and fall before in 2001 when I spent several weeks at another glorious retreat center known as Methow Valley Ranch near Winthop, WA. Check out that beautiful place at www.mvministries.com. So my idea of moving to Washington was mountains and rivers. I was in for a quite the surprise when we did look for a place in Moses Lake to find it was the center of what is called the basin and is the driest area of the state, about 12 inches of rainfall a year. I couldn’t believe it! We were moving to the desert!

The Lord graciously allowed us to find a beautiful condo for rent on Moses Lake which was our home for 2 ½ years until Josh entered the army in 2005. I loved it there even if it was on the 3rd floor with no elevator.

Joshua entered their AMT program in September 2002 and successfully completed five quarters of instruction in General, Airframe, and Power Plant, took all his FFA exams, and to the surprise of the department heads became the youngest person to ever enter their program and complete it before he was 18 years old. We celebrated his 18th birthday on April 1, 2004 with his receiving his signed A & P license. That fall he took some general courses to round out a two year Associate of Science degree. Then he entered the army in March 2005 and has trained as an Apache Helicopter machanic with the 82nd Airborne. He earned his Paratrooper wings in 2005. It was a joy to welcome him home on leave from Iraq last year at this time and in October, he came back after a 15 month tour to Ft Bragg, NC. Spec Joshua Reed just celebrated his 22nd birthday on April 1. If you remember him, you can email him at jreed_amt@hotmail.com, or call him at 509-361-3175. He will be based at Ft Bragg until further deployment possibly to Iraq in 2009.

I call this a Glory Story as I see how the Lord has woven so many of our lives and events together for His Kingdom purposes. It has been nearly 8 years since that first visit to just find out about it. I did not know that our move to Washington state the next summer would be build upon that simple act of obedience. Selah.

In closing, beloved friends, let us celebrate and remember how we met and know that the Lord introduces us for a reason. The Kingdom of God is being built upon relationships and love. Let us love one another.

If I can be of service to you or pray with you, please let me know. Let us cherish and honor our friendships and encourage one another as we watch the Lord unfold His plans for us in the years ahead. Connected on purpose, for a purpose.

Your prayers and financial support are so needed and deeply appreciated. Please continue to stand with me. I will go where I’m invited and thank you for sending me off with your blessings of finances and intercession. All gifts are tax deductible.

To the Glory of HIS Grace,

Carla

Dearest Friends!!!

Blessings and Greetings from Liberty Lake!!! It is soooooo good to be back home again. I will never forget the day last year when I got home after a lengthy trip. I stopped by the local Safeway store to pick up a few groceries, and had been thanking the Lord for bringing me safely home again. You can imagine my wonder, astonishment, and amusement when I heard the store's sound system playing an old John Denver song..."Ain’t it good to be back home again? " I was pretty shocked. It was one of those eerie, but sacred moments when you know the Lord has read your mind and heard your prayer and followed you to the grocery store. Or rather, proceeded you there and had that particular song playing just as you walked in.

I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT….

That is a something I've heard many times as I drive across the country and keep up the pace of much younger folks than myself. It takes His special Grace and Anointing to travel like I do, but I want to share with you a practical aspect that can help you as well. I have been taking a product that has so revitalized my health that I felt I should let you know about it. I first put it to the test last summer when I was gone for 6 weeks, and now have given it the extreme test again being gone 12 weeks and 12,500 miles later. That just isn’t typical. If and when I have told people about it, they say what it has done for me sells it!! Many told me how good I looked for traveling like I do. (Wonder what that really means)

Before I do, let me tell you another story.

In 2005, everything changed. Joshua entered the military and both our lives were turned upside down in a few weeks. I moved out of my apartment in Moses Lake, WA where Josh and I had lived for 2 ½ years and put everything in storage. At the time, I thought it was for the summer or no longer than 5 months. However, the Lord extended my travels and after 17 months on the road, I finally got my things out of storage and relocated to Liberty Lake in Sept 2006.

During the summer of 2005, I had wonderful open doors to Moravian Falls, NC. In June - 2005, I met two businessmen who were interested in helping me write the water story. Neither of them were in a financial position to do what they had wanted, but I still knew that meeting them was Sovereign. One of them, Brett Rademacher, and his wife, Michelle, and family became close friends and we have spent many hours together. In fact, I spent this past Christmas with them as they had just moved from Moravian Falls to Las Vegas. They have an active household of 6 children, ages 14 to one month. And, Michelle is an amazing cook and a real saint, I do believe. Both of them are originally from Spokane, which is amazing as that is the area where I live now, but we met in North Carolina. Sometime the Lord takes you “there” to get you to “here”.

Brett was asked in September to become the Marketing Director for Uri International based in Cedar City, UT. They have since moved to Cedar City and the company is about to explode in growth. As a Spirit-filled Christian, He is leading the company into unprecedented gains and new territories, and it is the dream we talked about when all the chips were down and it looked impossible. I know several who can relate to that.

Brett is a unique guy. He began in Sea Silver ( a nutritional drink) several years ago and was a top distributor making over $300,000 monthly before the FDA came and shut the company down. He was personally fined a half-million dollars. His entire down-line crumbled and he went from being a millionaire to living in a cabin in Moravian Falls, trying to make ends meet for his growing family. The company owed him $1,000,000 when it went bankrupt and he probably won’t ever see it. Then the IRS decided to come after him and he was in more debt than he thought possible. Sounds like a bad dream. When you’re in a pit that deep, all you can do is ‘Look Up‘. Somehow the Lord takes note of our pits and is kind and able to bring us up and out!! What is impossible becomes His merciful way of deliverance as it is so beyond us to help ourselves.

What I like about Brett is his optimism in the midst of adversity and impossibilities. He determined to learn from the mistakes of a company’s careless non-compliance with FDA requirements and feels he has gained the insight and wisdom to lead Uri International into a global market. That has been his dream since we met and first talked about Kingdom resources. Brett is one of those guys who talks about millions like you and I talk about 100’s. He is just wired different and thinks HUGE. It’s been another stretch for me, but I like it.Brett has been a real brother to me. He really loved my Mysteries CD. He would spend hours listening to it with the Lord and get revelations and downloads from the Spirit. At one time, he told me he had never listened to a CD as often as he did mine. I’m pretty amazed at that. When I stayed in Moravian Falls, Brett and Michelle sponsored some worship nights at a local Christian coffee house and I would play and lead worship. He helped me record the ARISE CD right before I left the area in May 2006.

After the downfall of the former company, Brett began testing products and investigating markets and companies. He did not want to get stung again. Nor did he want to sell something that didn’t taste good. As he puts it, most green and health drinks are like licking a lawnmower. Can anyone relate to that?

A year ago, he discovered Uri International and the main product called The Feast. First he tested the products on his kids and they liked them. Then he tried it on other people’s kids. Same thing. If kids like a drink, it must be okay. The Feast is a unique combination of vegetables and fruits, which gives it a far better taste than a lawnmower.

He talked to Uri International, signed on, and began to implement some of the marketing strategies he had used earlier. Within a few months, he had so done well, the company noticed and called him in. With his background in software systems, finances, and marketing, they offered him the position of marketing director and gave him the opportunity to take a small scale company into global markets. The Lord has given him business strategies that will truly help turn over the wealth of the world into Kingdom revenues. When I returned to Spokane last fall, Brett and a co-worker, Frank, had just come to the area on a business trip and to see his mother. We all went out to eat and celebrate his promotion. Finally, moving up and out… Things do change.

I’ve watched Brett get Holy Ghost downloads of business systems and strategies. He has a fair complexion and is bald. At one time, I think he had red hair. To my chagrin, I’ve watched him get touched by the Lord, turn beet red until I thought he would explode. Sometimes he’d get the “jerks” and I’d wonder if I wanted to be seen around him. Ha. All that to say, the Lord has been preparing him to take on the leadership of a company that is offering optimum nutritional products for your money. We have been hearing much about market place anointing and money “coming” not just “going”.

FOOD!! The Feast is FOOD! Food, Food. 100% dehydrated foods at extremely low temperature to keep the nutrients. The Feast has 30 fruits, 30 vegetables, 11 seeds and sprouts, 22 probiotics, 83 enzymes and minerals and everything that can work synergistically to nourish you without preservatives or pasteurization. That is only one of several products in a lineup that will get you healthy and keep you healthy. Plus, the cost is so reasonable and could be part of your food budget... it is FOOD!

I began taking the Feast a year ago. In the summer, I cleared out most of my array of bottles of vitamins as I couldn’t seem to keep up with what, how much, how often. Studies are also showing the ineffectiveness of synthetic vitamins. You just can’t go wrong with organic whole FOOD like it was created to be.

Uri LeBaron and his family have been in natural health food and organic farming for 28 years.

“The URI drying facilities are located within a pristine mountain valley in Southern Utah surrounded by 4,700 acres of certified organic farmland where many of our whole food ingredients are grown.” (from Uri International website) (www.uriinternational.com)

The company is based in Cedar City, UT. For many years they grew all the greens used for AIM’s Barley Green, Juice Plus, and many others. They simply sold their greens until about 4 years ago when Uri decided to develop his own product line. Brett has spent many hours with this man sharing about the Lord and what they feel is a Divine Mandate to provide quality, organic, and affordable FOOD to a world market. Interestingly enough his name Uri, is a Hebrew name meaning light or flame.

To those of you who read on the current status of our food supply, additives, pesticides,genetic engineering and modification, you know it is a serious issue. People are eating more and getting less and less nourishment. It is inconceivable that people are actually being starved of needed nutrients while eating massive amounts of expensive food laced with additives.

The main product, The Feast , is the perfect answer either to supplement your diet, to take while fasting, or ‘on the go’ shakes. I love it that it doesn’t have to be refrigerated. Many times I have mixed up some of The Feast and what is called Beyond Berries in water, or juice and/or water. You should take it once a day or more, even have it at work. To regain my health and build up my immune system, I would mix up an 8 oz shaker cup at least twice and sometimes 3 times. Many times at the end of a busy day of travel and ministry, I would even take it at bedtime to rebuild while I was sleeping. I have also tried several other Uri products that are excellent. They have a lineup for everything needed for targeted needs and general nutrition. You will be impressed when you see all that is available and very affordable. Uri has trimmed the fat on costs and you will find it less expensive than health food products which aren’t nearly as nutritionally dense. You just have to look at the OREC values and the listings of all foods. When food is eaten, it works in the body as it was meant to, not isolated vitamins, hit and miss.

To those of you interested in a business, the company is poised to explode this year. For many months, Brett has worked tirelessly to create a marketing plan and system that is effective and innovative. They have just released what is called a “magalog”. It is over 20 pages of nutritional information in magazine form that documents the current food and health crisis and compares the nutrient rich FOOD that is in The Feast. You simply must check it out online or get a copy. I will have them available to send to you also.

The remarkable thing is that you can join the company and sign up for a ONE-TIME fee of $9.95. That will give you a Uri product catalog, informational CD about the product, your own website page for your orders and records, and ongoing membership discounts on products. You can go online at www.uriinternational.com to check out the site and listen to how the products are grown, dehydrated quickly at less than 100 degrees and packaged. You can also order The Feast as a Preferred Customer, but the costs are retail and somewhat higher. It makes more sense to me to sign up for $9.95 and get continual discounts. If you join, they will ask you for your social security number but I can guarantee if you like it and others sign up under you when you tell them about it, you will be building a down-line without effort and that will be reportable and residual income. If you are uncomfortable with giving your SS#, order what and when you want as a Preferred Customer. It is also wise to sign up for auto-ship as you won’t forget to order and keeps you consistent. You can go into your site at any time and change your order to fit your month’s needs or try something different.

I have been sharing about Uri and the Feast as I am able. I really want to see all of us healthy, wealthy, and wise. Just check it out. You can’t go wrong with FOOD, FOOD! There is no comparison to anything else out there for 100% dehydrated, organic, whole FOOD in powder form. There are many other good nutritional products on the market, but the Feast is the only one I know of that is FOOD, FOOD. Of course, as with anything, you must stick with it consistently to see full results.

I would also be happy to let you sample The Feast. I can send a packet and some information to you if you let me know. The products are also money backed guaranteed for 90 days as you order directly from the company. You can’t go wrong.

For those interested in storing up FOOD for future crisis, what could be better than this? All you need to do is mix it with water and drink it for instant optimum nutrition. It is pure, sealed and packaged, and easy to store, and better for you than rice and beans.

Whether you order or if you sign up, please be sure and enter my name or my member number # 24169. You will be helping me build a down-line that will help finance the ministry and pay off the indebtedness from past ministry trips. I’m also eager to pay off my piano and would love to buy my own home. It would bless me greatly to see all of you blessed as well. It truly is time to dream again and I don’t know of better people to work with. Honest.

Because I can tell you I personally know Brett as a brother and friend, I can recommend the company without reservation. His integrity, marketing genius, nutritional expertise, hard times and experiences will be the catalyst for a billion dollar global company. He has a website called: www.urilife.com. You can then type in my site name, UriSong and view several presentations. When you see Brett’s site or mine, you will realize the extensive training programs that are available. He is serious about making this a billion dollar company on a global scale and he can do it. Brett is a radical Sprit-filled believer and you will be blessed as he is blessed and blessing the company and the world through good FOOD. Now that’s a down line.

Thanks for reading along. If you’ve been “looking for something” to take for nutrition needs, or “looking for a home business”, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Had to let you know.
Blessing you with health, wealth, and wisdom!!

HOME!!!

Dearest Friends across America,

Blessings to all of you!!!! Wonder of Wonders I have made it home safely 12 weeks to the day that I started! I am so greatly blessed and thrilled to be home and report on HIS GREAT FAITHFULNESS once again. To Him belongs the GLORY in taking me across America for 12 weeks and bringing me safely home where all was as left it. Even the Christmas decorations were still waiting for me as I left on Dec 21. Now you don’t need to feel guilty if you don’t get yours down right away. (smile) I find it interesting that the Lord spoke to me on 12-12-07 about making this trip and I have been gone exactly 12 weeks...????... and gone over 12,000 miles.

Words cannot describe my feelings as I walked into my apartment wondering what I’d find. After many reports of record snow and cold, I was concerned that pipes had frozen or flooding had occurred as heat was at a minimum. What a joy to see everything as perfectly as I’d left it. I wept with the relief of finding that all was well and also from the tension and pressure of driving so many miles. I had left Pierre SD and covered 1125 miles in two days. The glory van and I wanted to go home!!!!!

Truly, HE watched over me every minute and mile of a 12,500 mile journey across America from Key West, Florida to the eastern shore of New Jersey and back to Liberty Lake!! I had driven through Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana before I crossed the Washington border and the Glory Van and I came home to park and rest. And Praise the Lord, all the record snow had melted by the time I came home to a pleasant temperature, drizzling rain and fresh crisp mountain air. I absolutely love Liberty Lake and my apartment and piano!!

I had such beautiful weather driving home. The skies were spectacular across the great state of Montana. EVERYONE should drive across Montana in your lifetime. It truly is Big Sky country and the vastness of the land, the beauty and grandeur of the mountains, rivers, and plains will cause your heart to sing. I spent one night in Sheridan, WY, another beautiful location, nestled at the foothills of the gorgeous Big Horn Mountains that were snow capped and grand. I drove into Sheridan in time to see the sun set over the tops of these magnificent mountains. When I left early the next morning, before the sun rose in splendor, it cast a beautiful purple hue across a sky scattered with clouds. The mountains looked purple as well. “Oh beautiful for spacious skies and amber waves of grain… for purple mountain’s majesty above the fruited plain… America, America, God shed His grace on thee. And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea…” Seeing the beauty, vastness, and layout of the land is truly what makes travel worthwhile and adventuresome.

I continue to marvel at the amazing weather that occurred as I traveled the past 12 weeks. I had only a few days of rain and welcomed it as the areas were very dry and desperate for rain in the Carolinas and Georgia. Most of the time the skies were clear, the heavens open over me and the sun shining. ( My favorite weather) The Lord spared me several times from bad driving conditions. When I was at the Campground in Ashland, VA on February 12, I suddenly felt the need to press on early. I kept driving, feeling the need to get to my destination late afternoon as I was visiting friends in Maryland on my way. As I pulled into a parking lot to verify directions, it began to sleet. Within an hour after I arrived safely at my friend’s house, a major sleet and ice storm hit the DC and Baltimore area and my van and windows were icing over. News reports came in of over 100 accidents on the roads I had just traveled that afternoon as they became icy and treacherous. People were caught in traffic for hours, due to ice, accidents, and cars moving at a snail's pace in rush hour traffic. How grateful I was for that inner prodding of the Holy Spirit to get on down the road early. I’m learning more and more to listen to my heart and heed the promptings to go. There is no way you could travel alone so far were it not for HIS faithfulness to protect, guide and provide.

I will be sharing more of the Glory stories that happened along the way. I had many Divine appointments and met many new friends whose hearts were knit to mine. It is truly an honor and joy to travel and serve as an ambassador for His Kingdom. I have had remarkable good health and the demands on my time, energies, and patience were huge.

Thank you for sharing the journey with your love, prayers and financial support. Several people sent in $50 for a tank of gas, but as you can imagine, it was multiple tanks of gas that were needed. I still have a large unpaid balance that is due for the expenses of the trip. I had several hotel stays over the last 12 weeks and were it not for the kindness, generosity and hospitality of many wonderful people, there would have been many more. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation and “hats off” to the wonderful hosts who give of their best and make me feel at home and comfortable with lodging, meals and good coffee.

I’m attaching some pictures of the Glory Van at some destinations. Thank you for making it possible to go and know that you are a part of the journey. I trust you will enjoy the stories as they come forth. Be sure to click on "View Photos" at the bottom of this email. Enjoy.

May His richest blessings be upon all of you. If the stories bless and encourage you, let me know. And thank you for standing with me financially and with your love, friendship, and prayers. You are treasured.

Leaping and Reaping - February 29, 2008

2008-03-18T11:06:00.000-07:00

LEAPING AND REAPING!

Dearest Friends,

Blessings and Greetings to you from Moravian Falls, North Carolina. I’m am still on the east coast and will begin my west-ward journey back to the Washington tomorrow. I anticipate being home in about 2 weeks. I’ll be stopping off in South Dakota to see my family and beautiful grandchildren for several days. Ah, Sweet Home!

It is the Lord’s Sovereign ordering of my steps and stops that has brought me to the mountain near Moravian Falls called Pore’s Knob. It has been spoken of often prophetically by Bob Jones, Rick Joyner, Todd Bentley and many other for several years. Some of you will remember that I spent nearly 5 months at Moravian Falls in 2006 and was able to release songs of prophetic worship and decrees. Last summer I visited for about 3 days in the area, sharing about the beautiful gemstone manifestations. This past week I felt I was to return again and was divinely connected to a beautiful couple named Matt and Nancy who have purchased a home on Pore’s Knob. Their names had been given to me in Chambersburg, PA last weekend and before I could even get the contact information, I met them at Apple Hill Lodge on Tues night. I was asked to lead worship at Apple Hill and we had a glorious night of worship and sweet communion with the Presence of the Lord. It was wonderful to see so many friends and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the area.

Yesterday, I felt that I was to stay another night on Pore’s Knob and that today, Leap Day was an especially marked day for intercession and prophetic decrees. Nearly two years ago, after 12 months of nonstop travel, the Lord whispered to my heart as I ascended the “Hill of the Lord” that I had paid the price for a governmental anointing. This has borne itself true in my trip to Washington, DC last year on 2-22-07 and most recently a week ago, my passing back through the DC area exactly one year later. Having traveled to 48 states, I trust my tires treading the land and my feet standing in many place have fulfilled the promise of possessing the land.

I wanted to write you and tell you tonight I feel to specifically pray for you and decree the glory of the Lord into your homes and lives this year. Many of us have held many requests in our hearts and I want to declare and decree and agree for the answers to your prayers, the desires of your hearts, and prosperity and health for your future.

We have been hearing much about quantum faith and quantum leaps. Today, I called to greet my friends, David and Becky Van Koevering of Cleveland, TN. It seemed fitting to greet them on Leap Day. For those who don’t know David is a quantum physicist and He encouraged me to take quantum leaps of faith and I want to pass along the challenge. You can access more information at http://www.elsewhen.com/.

Therefore, beloved friends, I declare and decree from Pore’s Knob that you and I will take several quantum leaps this year.

1. I start with a decree for a quantum leap of faith into our Heavenly Father’s arms of love, provision, and protection. With threats all about us, we must know we are safely held and secured in our Father’s arms. I decree that you will know your Heavenly Father’s love in intimate ways as He shows Himself faithful to you and that you are uniquely blessed and precious in His sight.

2. I decree for you and myself quantum leaps and heaps of abundance, abundance, abundance!! Abundant health, wealth, and wisdom, understanding and insight. I decree that we are debt free and able to assist those who need help without fear of loss.

3. I decree the salvation of friends and family that you have prayed and stayed for. That their hearts are touched deeply by the love of the Father and that many will be added to the Kingdom of God this year. I agree with you for fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, sons, daughters, grandchildren, friends and enemies to be reconciled to Father’s love. I decree many knowing the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord this year, thru’ His shed blood and the power of the cross.

4. I decree the restoration of broken relationships and reversals of lost friendships, family relationships, revenues and those broken by divorce, sickness, poverty, and abuse.

5. I decree many new and unexpected doors of opportunity, new jobs, new means of income and increase in all you put your hand to do that is ordered of the Lord and profitable for Kingdom purposes. I decree the coming forth of hidden talents, gifts, and abilities that will be revealed to you and through you.

6. I decree total freedom from addictions and afflictions that have enslaved you and loved ones in mind, soul, and body. I call for health and wealth to be restored to the Body of Christ that we can truly exhibit Kingdom life, joy, love, and peace. I decree that we are the light of the world and will no longer be hidden or hide out.

7. I decree houses, homes and lands to be acquired as needed and desired, also that businesses prosper and you have excellent wages and prosperity in your jobs and occupations. I decree the income and provision above and beyond your needs, that you might be a blessing to others with joy.

8. I decree clarity of mind and heart in the days ahead as you follow the Lord’s purposes and know His will for your lives. I call for a clarity of vision and clear hearing of the ear that you might hear and obey quickly. I decree the listening ear and heart that will keep you safe in the days ahead as you are quickened concerning danger or opportunity.

9. I declare this will be a year of leaping and reaping. As David wrote in the Psalms, “By my God, I can run through a troop and leap over a wall”. I call for your leaping over walls of adversity and joy in the jump!! I decree reapings of all the seeds sown in faith in people’s lives, ministries, and relationships and crop failures in places you’d rather forget.

10. I decree ever increasing good will, favor and fortunes restored. I call for days of turning and delight as you watch answers to prayer and the secret desires of you heart come into manifestation. I call for the best years of your life to be before you!!

AMEN!!!!!!

_________________________________

Today, Feb 29, I have been gone from home 10 weeks. Last summer the Lord spoke to me about the power of 10 and exponential growth. I agree with you as you decree the things close to your heart. It is my joy and honor to stand with you in prayer and trust you will also agree and stand with me in the days ahead for fulfillment of every prophetic promise. My heartfelt thanks to all of you.

In the days ahead I will be sharing more about these past 10 weeks of travel that have taken me as far south as the Florida Keys and all the way to the New Jersey eastern shore. I have stories, stories, stories. Many of them are of new connections and also deep abiding friendships that have been strengthened. I have especially enjoyed the sense of home I felt coming back to Moravian Falls and I thank the Lord for His great faithfulness to me in thousands of miles of travel, through major cities and traffic.

One wonderful report is that I have enjoyed sunny weather nearly everywhere I have gone. The heavens have been open as I love sunny skies and have only had 2-3 days of rain in 10 weeks. I had three days of clear skies to leave the northwest with a few scattered icy spots and only snow flurries before Christmas. Now, after 10 weeks and crossing about 20 states, I’d say that it has been remarkable. I have not had to drive on any snow covered roads and will pray that it holds true as I head back home. Meanwhile back in the Spokane area, they've had record cold and snow. When I would get homesick, I’d remind myself I’d be buried in snow and suffering the cold and dreary weather. Truly, I am grateful the Lord has given me a beautiful season to travel with His great smile of love and favor upon me.

My love to each of you and I would so enjoy hearing from you. Your prayers and support are my mainstay and I thank you for tracking me in prayer.

I also give praise that I was able to spend some time with Joshua at Ft Bragg, near Fayetteville, NC. We had some good times together and he is glad to be back safely from Iraq.

May you leap with joy this day and every day as we enter a glorious season of signs, wonders, miracles and the Kingdom of God is manifested on the earth. “ Let Your Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven… Amen. So be it.

Love to all,
Carla

Key West Water Story - January 16, 2008

2008-03-18T11:02:00.000-07:00

Dearest Friends,

Blessings to all of you from Key West, Florida!

It was a windy day here, but I enjoyed the swaying palm trees, waves of water, and the sight and sound of the island. I feel like I've driven to the edge... and I have. I poured out the waters today at the southernmost point of our nation. It was an honor to join with a lovely lady of the island, Antoinette Mc Pherson, born on the island, a "conk", and 4th generation. Her son, Morgan McPherson, a Christian, was recently re-elected as major. They have been believing for a Holy Ghost wind to blow upon the dry bones of the island. We surely had enough wind today to do it!!

Attached are some pictures. Let me know if you are not able to go online to view them and I will try to send them another way. The hour is late.

Beloved, continue to stand with me in prayer for protection and provision. The needs are great, but He is greater still. Your love and support are so valuable.

I trust you will enjoy the pictures. You make it possible.

My love to all of you.

Carla

Greetings from Florida! - January 13, 2008

2008-03-18T10:33:00.000-07:00

GREETINGS FROM FLORIDA!!

Dearest Friends across America!

Blessings and Greetings to all of you from the beautiful sunny state of Florida! Please, don't throw any snowballs or other objects at me!

I arrived safely in St Petersburg one week ago and adjusted quickly to the warm and sunny temperatures. I'm staying with an amazing couple, George and Barbara Ragland, who have ministered in over 30 countries. They have a powerful ministry in deliverance and healing and have graciously hosted me in their home this last week.

When I felt the Lord speak to me about Florida on 12-12, I had a feeling I might be headed to another far extremity of America. Tomorrow, I will be driving toward Miami and the Florida Keys. I'm planning to pray at Key West on Wednesday, Jan 16. Through a couple of Divine connections, I've made contact with the mother of the mayor of Key West, a Christian man elected against all odds. I'm hoping to meet the mayor and tell him the water story. Today, I was able to share a portion of the water story with a monthy group that meets at the Presbyterian Church in St Petersburg. George and Barbara sponsor monthly healing meetings and I've enjoyed hearing many wonderful stories and testimonies of their meetings and miracles.

I left Liberty Lake, WA on Dec 21, a beautiful sunny day. I had clear skies and roads as I stopped for the night in Butte, MT before heading south to Idaho Falls and Blackfoot the next morning. I still had sunny skies, but some scattered icy spots on I-15. It is always risky to travel in the winter and I was nervous about it. To the Glory of HIS Grace, He gave me beautiful sunny skies and good roads nearly all the way. I left Blackfoot on Dec 24, having spent Sunday, Dec 23 with a true brother in the Lord, Pastor Brian Harrison and his family. A BIG snowstorm was predicted for that night and I scooted out as early as I could. Had some snow and ice until I got to the Utah border, then the roads and skies were clear. I drove thru Salt Lake City and arrived in Henderson, NV, south of Las Vegas on Christmas eve and spent Christmas and 2 days with Brett and Michelle Rademacher and their family. I first met Brett and Michelle in Moravian Falls, NC almost 3 years ago. Brett has become the marketing director for Uri International and is another true brother in the Lord. They moved to the area to be close to an airport and the corporation that is located in Cedar City, UT. Since then, Brett and Michelle have moved to Cedar City.

I couldn't help but feel wonderment and bewildered as I crested the hill and looked into the dazzling city lights of Las Vegas. It is so unlike me to go there anyway, much less on Christmas eve. I wondered at all the people looking for the night life and truly needed the LIGHT OF LIFE. I drove I-15 thru the downtown area and was quite surprised at the huge motels and casinos. How in the world did I get there'?? I had never been to Las Vegas at night, only driving thru the summer of 2000.

I had a marvelous time with Brett and Michelle, both wonderful cooks who use all organic products. My taste buds came alive again. I left there and drove south through Hoover Dam, a site where Joshua and I first prayed in the summer of 2000. Marveling at all the rocky hillside and the gigantic structure, I managed to find a place to pull off and pour out some waters. It was getting warmer and I finally shed my coat. I had initially planned to drop to I-20 and drive across the country, but while in Blackfoot, ID, I suddenly knew I was meant to drive I-40. SO much came up about 40 this past year and it seemed that was my route. Both I-15 south of Salt Lake City to Las Vegas and parts of I-40 were new highways for me. Again the roads and skies were clear as I made my way across the country. I spent the night in Gallap, NM, where I had a miserable night in a hotel room with a blowing heat fan. It was that or no heat and it was cold that night. I crossed New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and spent the next night in Elk City, OK. It was there that the Lord spoke to me in Oct 1996 about going to Israel on a tour. To make a long story short, I did go in Dec 1996 with 90 Hawaiians, 5 from Kentucky and Florida, and me from SD. 96 of us in '96. On that trip, I came in contact with the Glory book by Ruth Heflin and it has changed my life. It seemed right to spend the night and remember what the Lord had done. That is part of "My Story" written to commorate my 10 full years of ministry this past year. It is still available and many have commented on how it has blessed them.

While crossing the panhandle of Texas, I came across the largest cross erected in North America, 190 feet high. That was remarkable, and even more so, it was at approximately mile marker 111 off I-40. I had to use exit 112 and double back on a road to see this huge cross and read the story. I poured out some of your waters at the foot of that cross. You could see it for miles. The next morning I found myself driving into Oklahoma City. On the way, the Lord reminded me that I started college in Bethany, OK, a suburb of Okla City in 1967, exactly 40 years ago this past fall. As I neared the city, I found the exit to my old school. It was a holy moment as I realized the Lord was having me retrace my own steps 40 years ago. As I drove around the campus of what is now Southern Nazarene College, I felt the rush of my first dreams and desire to become a singer and major in music. That dream was cut short by my marriage in 1969 when I stopped school. Later the Lord allowed me to finish my education with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Mitchell, SD.

As I drove around the campus, it seemed the Lord dropped a phrase in my heart... It's time to redeem the dream. I realized I still have some unfulfilled dreams in my heart that stirred in those early years and HE had put them there and had not forgotten them. I had buried them under years of family life and just making a living. I feel the Lord will be jump starting some of our dreams from the past. They got interruped and disrupted, but HE will finish what HE started and imparted to our hearts. Time to redeem the dream. YEA!!

As I left and hurried eastward, I made plans to get to Little Rock, AR. I had felt that I was to stay the night there and pray concerning Mike Huckabee's winning the caucus in Iowa that week. We now know, he won it easily and it has given him and the Christian voice a momentum that has to be recognized and acknowledged.

After leaving Little Rock, I had a full day of travel trying to get to Gainesville, GA. I wanted to spend New Years Eve with longtime friends from my Mitchell, SD days, Charles and Sandra Williamson. Our sons, James and Joshua were friends in 2nd grade in Mitchell Christian School way back in 1994. Charles and Sandra had moved there from Georgia and then moved back. They have been wonderful friends for many years and our sons still stay in touch. I love their southern charm, accents, and marvelous hospitality. They tempted me with lots of Christmas goodies, just when New Year's resolutions should be taking effect. Charles and Sandra are those rare people with true servant hearts.

While watching TV and trying to stay up until midnight to see the year 2008 come in, I kept looking at their old clock with Roman Numerals. It was stuck on 10:10. That has been a major number for me the past few weeks as I think of John 10:10. "the thief comes but to steal, but I have come that you may have ABUNDANT LIFE!!. I've been focusing on Abundance for several weeks and here is was stuck on 10:10 and I'm in the city of GAINESville, GA. Sounded good already!!! Later when I left there, I drove thru GAINESville, Florida. What are the odds of going thru two Gainesville's in one day???? Double witness??? I'm 'Gain'n ground!!

I had hoped for sunny warm weather as I had caught a terrible cold being in and out of so many places, cold winds, gas stops, rest stops, and enduring hotel heating fans. Instead, Georgia had a cold spell and I wondered if I'd brought it with me. While there I had called my Florida hosts hoping it was going to be warmer there, but to my surprise, they'd had temps of 35 degrees that morning in St Petersburg. All the room changes and climate changes made me vulnerable to a cold and it was a miserable week or longer before all the remedies and prayers kicked it. I even resorted to the old fashioned Vicks vaporub.

I have now been in St Petersburg a full week and the weather has made up for all the cold and miles and miles of driving. This past week, I attended our annual Ministers Convocation in Bradenton, Florida. In addition to my ministeral association to Ashland, Va, I have maintained credentials with Gospel Crusade Ministerial Fellowship, founded by Dr Gerald Derstine over 50 year ago. There are over 1100 ministers around the world that come together once a year. I had not been able to attend since 2002 and it was a joy to see the beautiful grounds of Christian Retreat and to reconnect with some pastors and leaders I met several years ago. I drove the 80 mile roundtrip journey every day to avoid hotel expenses and enjoyed the beautiful I-275 drive over the bay area.

You have probably heard about the terrible accidents, explosions, deaths, and nealy 70 car pile up that happened early in the morning on I-4 between Tampa and Orlando. I was planning to drive that same stretch later in the day. It was my desire to see longtime friends of mine and Ruth Heflin's, John and Patti Chappell who live in Bartow. He had given me directions taking I-4. When I got up, my hostess told me about the terrible accident and that I-4 was closed. I was able to take an alternate route, but was once again reminded how carefully the Lord guides and protects our way. The accidents are under investigation involving thick walls of fog and brush fire smoke early in the morning. I would not have wanted to be out that early, but it was still eerie to think about.

As I prepare to drive about 400 miles to Key West this week, keep me before the Lord for protection. I have chosen to drive the Glory Van believing my tires "treading" the land will release HIS Glory and Desire for our great nation. I'm sure many of you are already caught up in the political reports and polls. Let us remember the great sacrifices of those who have prayed and died for this land and also the 100,000 who braved the heat and those who fasted for 40 days before meeting on 7-7-07 in Nashville for THE CALL. I believe in the power of prayer and know you do too. Let us not cave in to the media reports, but believe the report of the Lord.

I will be in Florida about 2 more weeks before heading into North Carolina and Virginia. I am planning to stop and see Joshua at Ft Bragg sometime in February. When I feel homesick, I remember the cold weather and snow. I just heard that Spokane has broken snow records since 1908. While I do love the warmer weather, I really miss my apartment, my piano and my bed. But I'd probably be buried in right now.

Thank you for standing with me during these days of prayer and intercession. I will be carrying your waters with me as I stand on the shores of Key West. I was told today that the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico meet there. How appropriate! Agree with me for the decrees and declarations of the Lord to go forth and that I will be strong in the journey. As you can imagine, it takes a great flexibility and stamina to travel extensively and also stay fresh in the Lord. Also agree with me for connections and meetings to be scheduled. This trip happened so fast, there is still lots of unscheduled time. It seems like the Lord wanted me to "hang loose" on this one and it opens as I go.

I have been blessed by several who have given into the expenses of travel. Some have offered to buy a tank of gas. Here is Florida, gas is about $3.10 or more. It seemed to hover around $3.00 all across the country. It would be a great blessing if you'd like to sponsor or pay for at least one or more tanks of gas, usually around $50 to fill it full. Your generosity and love and support are so needed and appreciated. You can send it to my address at the top of the email, or send it through http://www.paypal.com/. If you go to 'send money' and type in my email address: selahministries@hotmail.com, you can send it and it will be put in my bank account directly. OR, you can call me or email me your credit card number. Thanks so much. I need all of you. Remember, any amount is appreciated. Mail is being forwarded about every 2 weeks.

Keep me in your heart and prayers. I love hearing from you. I trust you are all well and I'm trusting with you for a glorious and victorious NEW YEAR!! If you have any insights, concerns, connections, or questions, call me. 509-599-0433.

My love and gratitude to all of you,

Carla

Dearest Friends,

Blessings and Greetings to all of you across America! I send you my love and blessings this Glorious Holyday season!

You have been to me the gifts under my tree for many years and I treasure each of you, as we have opened up the gifts of friendship and discovery in the Kingdom of God. We have just begun!!

You may have noticed that it has been several weeks since I shared with you personally beyond some emails about products available as gifts for Christmas. There has been a reason for that.

On Nov 4, I returned from a 3 week trip to Minnesota and South Dakota that became a trip dogged and flogged by great controversy, false accusations, slander, and Unprecedented Glory. All that at once. I finished up the trip by attending the funeral of a ministry associate who had died unexpectedly of a stroke at age 56.

By the time I got home, I was battered, bruised, and could have bit a nail in half. The spiritual, emotional, and physical tension literally put me to bed for several days and weakend me for the past few weeks. The mental torment would only be stilled by quieting myself in rest and allowing my weary body time to mend itself.

My mind was in a constant tailspin at the unthinkable that had just transpired and the enemy used it against me at a time of exhaustion and weakness. There was a major Jezebel type spirit released against me, and believe me, I do not use that term carelessly or often. I became as Elijah who needed to retreat to a cave 40 days to recover from the attack and regain the confidence and composure to confront the effects and aftermath as I am called upon to do.

I have now been in my cave 39 days and I will emerge transformed and more dangerous than I have ever been. Like Jesus who suffered 39 stripes, I feel like I have been flogged and whipped by the tongue lashings of others. Even my own tongue has lent itself to being used against me in self-condemnation and scolding. I have endured my own 39 days of stripes and learned more deeply what it is to bear and suffer from the sins of others.

Maybe this is a qualifying factor to become “saviors coming forth unto Mt Zion to rule and judge Mt Esau (flesh) and the kingdom and the kingship shall be the Lord’s” Obadiah 1:21

Do we really want to become like Jesus and enter into His sufferings? These past 39 days has been a time of deep sorrow, prayer, fastings, introspections, groanings too deep to utter, and tears of grief, lament, and intercession. A time to face my worst fears and listen to the still quiet voice that is bringing sanity and clarity to a bizarre attack very close to home and from those I trusted in leadership.

Jezebel is never fair and flaunts accusations; recklessly uses her influence to discredit and devour. We will all be facing these spirits in the future and it is my hope that my 40 days in the cave has equipped me to strengthen you, my friends, when bizarre attacks and circumstances come at you and they will.

We must NOT believe all the evil reports that are set against one another. If you ever have any cause for concern about me or what I do, let me know. Are we not friends? Can we not sit down, reason together, and find the heart and mind of the Lord? Let us honor one another even when we disagree. How boring if we all look and think alike.

Most of the controversy was unnecessarily stirred up and came regarding the gemstones and the couple from Seattle who also came under great attack to discredit and accuse them, me and others of fraud. As is the way of the Lord, He often allows such things to bring hearts and motives under inspection and I am happy to tell you that any fraudulent reports are proving themselves false. In fact, the glory and gemstone realm is increasing nationally amidst the controversy and the Seattle couple are being supported by many who have seen glorious manifestations and vouch for their character and mine.

The enemy pushes our fear and control buttons and we can react without due cause, exempting ourselves from Biblical protocol and procedure. Some leaders think they are exempt because of their position, but in reality, they are called to lead and model the process. Having traveled and spoken about the gemstones this summer, the responses were joyful and overwhelmingly positive.

To seasoned intercessors who held and beheld, the gems represent the multi-faceted wisdom and glory of God. It is meant for all of us to enter into. How can we continue to invite the Glorious PRESENCE of the Lord without seeing and experiencing His PRESENTS?

The Bridegroom is giving precious gifts, diamonds and gems to His beloved Bride. Let us not refuse Him, because signs and wonders are too controversial.

Is there a possibility of fraud? Of course. But for every potential fraud stands the obvious potential for the Real Glory. How can there be a counterfeit without the real? May our eyes stay focused on Jesus and His realities.

I have heard many well meaning people comment on not needing signs and wonders, but truthfully we do. They are for unbelievers and unbelieving believers. When He gives them as a sign, let us embrace HIS glory with joy and gratitude. How snobbish we must seem to the Lord and grieve His heart. Would He not that we err on the side of childlike expectancy and wonder and not cynicism?

As I have been praying over many matters, I feel the Lord is telling us that we have entered the Quantum realm. It is the realm where what you call it, it becomes. We have been so trained to see black and white; it is, or it isn’t. As in Newtonian physics, what goes up, must come down. In Quantum physics, it becomes before your eyes.

I have now seen and heard several testimonies of those who’ve had gemstones form in their hands, grow larger in front of their eyes, or manifest right in front of them out of “thin air”. Some of the tests on gemstones come back as genuine, some as unknowns which get lumped into cubic zirconium or of foreign origin. This gives the initial impression that they must be false, so the manifestation is false, casting doubt and suspicion on those involved. Instead we must consider that we might actually be part of the co-creation process. What we call them, they will become.

If we are already convinced they are false, they test out false. The same gemstones will test out genuine when tested by those of faith. As the electron in the atom becomes a wave or a particle depending on when you look at it, so what we see will be. Whether we understand or like it, we are in a 4th dimension realm of Spirit that scientists call quantum physics.

For those of us ready and willing, the joys of discovery are upon us. We have been called to become co-creators through our words and thoughts. According to our faith, the substance of those things hoped for, it will be unto us. This is the basis of that which we fear and think about which comes back upon us.

Were it not for the Grace of God to undo our thought patterns and deliver us, where would we be? You may remember that what Adam called the animals is what they became. The Hebrew text reveals that he wasn’t just thinking up names like dog, cow, or giraffe. Adam was actually given the power to create and assign their named character, function, and purpose. This was the realm of Spirit or Quantum, as is opening in revelation to us now.

I believe we are being prepared for many changes in our understandings. What will be opened for us will astound us and scare us. The only thing more scary will be staying in the same mindsets that have proven unfruitful and divisive. Discord is sown thru our demands that someone else see and believe as we do and is a product of the tree of good and evil.

We are called to partake of the tree of life and minister Life, Love, and Light to all we know. Jesus took the sum of the law down into two commandments: Love the Lord your God, with all your hearts and love your neighbor as yourself. How easy and how difficult.

Carnal minds are puffed up with theological arguments that matter little when stacked up against the absence of love and honor. Even Paul in I Cor 13, the love chapter, said: “If I have all knowledge, and have not love, it profits me nothing.” Because I travel so much and am involved with many groups of people, I see and hear many dogmas.

I have often found myself in the delicate and exhausting position of trying to meet everyone’s expectations that I am “like them”. I am and I am not. I cannot be. I can only hope that I will be like Him, and His LIKENESS is in me. Then we will meet on the common ground of love and honor. We must seek and know Christ in one another and how we treat each other is how we treat HIM. That is why He said, “ What you do to the least of these, you do to me.”

There must be a measure of faith, the seed of Christ, even in those who have not yet been fully awakened or been born again. It is there to respond to HIS voice that activates and regenerates their spirit. Behold, I show you a mystery, Christ in me, the Hope of Glory - a present Hope, a present Glory, glorious present within us.

We are One, only in Him, not in our carnal mind. There we helplessly and hopelessly divide under our knowledge of good and evil. The first command was don’t eat. I doubt it has been rescinded. This past year has been one of intense joy, glory, sorrow, and loss. I lost several dear longtime friends and a major base of financial support to a dogma.

I came under scrutiny and attack earlier this year because of an issue someone had with female angels. No kidding. My position is that I don’t know if there are or aren’t. I see angels as spirit and manifesting in male or female form. Most people believe in female angels as evidenced by all the Christmas and household decorations.

I have respect for those who say they have seen female angels and don’t have a need to classify them as deceived if they do. I find that the fear of deception causes people to focus on all that is wrong and they become suspicious, but call it discernment. Granted there are correct and incorrect doctrines, but self-righteous smugness and insistence at “being right” alienates friends and causes us to come under the same measures of judgments we have used. Even the devil has correct doctrine, but of what spirit is he? We can think we are so right and be so wrong in our hearts.

I hope I have not told you more than you needed to know, but I want to share from my heart without fear of reprisal and losing friends and support. This is a downfall for those of us called to fulltime travel and ministry. It has affected many pastors, ministers and leaders who are fearful of speaking truth from their pulpits or to others because their finances are withheld. Believe me, I understand accountability and the need to sow into reputable ministry.

As I talk to many precious people, I see and feel the financial strain and pain of their own multiplied expenses and lack of adequate income and jobs. It has caused fear to enter many of us making us reluctant to give and very demanding and scrutinizing of those we do give to. I have been in full time travel and ministry now for 10 years ministering across America. Many of you have known me and I have tried to be open and honest. Sometimes feeling very vulnerable, but risking being real and transparent.

I have endeavored to be a woman of character and integrity. It would be my hope that I have earned your respect and trust. I have a sizeable mailing list, yet very few respond either in emails or financially. Sometimes, I wonder what I’m doing wrong. I don’t want to be pushy, but if I don’t say anything, then it seems that I have no need. Because of the past misuse and abuse of others in finances and manipulated giving, I try to say very little. It is my prayer you will read between the lines and that your heart will respond with joy in giving.

How could I ever receive from anyone that which is given grudgingly? Please agree with me for several urgent needs and requests.

1. I am planning another major trip to the east coast and Florida by January. While in prayer these last 40 days, I ‘quit’ ministry several times frustrated and hurt by the lack of adequate support and feeling like a complete failure. Yesterday in the early morning hours, the Lord spoke to me about another journey. Yes, I could fly, but what He has me do is connect the dots as I go. It is about the journey in the Glory Van. At first, I resisted. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon and it’s a long ways to Florida and up the east coast. He seems to ask that of us that defies our reason and makes us look foolish and vulnerable. There are several reasons for the trip, which I will share later. There is an urgent need of praying intercessors across America and I am willing to go if you will be willing to send me. Having survived the controversy, I want to push beyond it and continue to declare and share the Glory realms opening to us. That includes showing gemstones but is much more. We are being caught up into another realm. It was my experience in August that we were beginning to see gemstones manifest in His Presence as we worshipped and I shared about them. No wonder the enemy used jealousy and suspicion to hinder and stop the flow. He loves to cast doubt and fear and abort the new waves of Glory that can wash over His people. Don’t fear this new move, Beloved friends. I have seen how it releases great childlike joy and wonder.

2. I’d like to recruit prayer warriors and intercessors who will daily or weekly cover me in intercession. It is a testimony of His Grace and Glory that has kept me thousands of miles alone on the highways and freeways of America and major cities. It is a major assignment to pray and strengthen me physically, emotionally, and spiritually as it is extremely demanding physically and challenging to deal with so many kinds of people. I often have retreated to my van to regain my perspective and composure. As you pray, send emails of encouragement and prophetic words from the Lord. I count on it.

3. The Glory Van is supposed to have a timing belt change and I am already 12,000 miles over the suggested change point. It will do great damage if it breaks and puts me in jeopardy as well. The cost will be around $1000, more or less with other maintenance work needed. I have also been advised I will need new tires within the next few weeks.

4. I will be closing up the apartment for several weeks to make the trip. Rent is due on the first and I do not want to lose my home that has been a haven to me after traveling. I hate to leave my beautiful piano, but know it will wait for me and I will return restored and ready to sing and play again. There is still a large balance due. Were it not for the kindness of a generous couple in North Carolina who make the payments, I would have had to let it go back and you’d have one broken-hearted friend.

5. Today is 12-12. It is a significant number to me as it speaks of Divine Government. In these days of complete anarchy and shakings, you must trust in His ordering of your ways and the establishment of His Kingdom on the earth. I have sacrificed much to travel and stretch myself across this great nation. It is not as much about America as it is about His Holy Nation, a Kingdom people being established. I have had several major words of prophecy from trusted prophetic voices about my call to governmental intercession. Thank God, He is not talking about politics, but of the ‘Increase of His Government, there will be no end!!’

Beloved friends, I am humbly asking you for your help. While the Lord is my Source, He uses generous people like you to share the joys and expenses and stories of travel and ministry. You are partakers of the rewards and joys of an amazing network of Divine relationships established and nurtured across the country. I know the most wonderful people in America… You!

Maybe someone, a group, or church will sponsor or pick up the tab for the Glory Van expenses or donate toward repairs.

Maybe someone wants to buy new tires and ‘tread’ the land with me.

Maybe someone will give me their credit or debit card and let me charge the gasoline for all or part of the trip. This is my major expense.

Maybe someone will help with the occasional hotel expenses. Most of the time I stay with friends or hosts, but sometimes have needs in transit.

Maybe someone will help for the next several weeks or months to lighten the terribly oppressive load of debt and give monthly for household expenses.

Maybe someone wants the joy and privilege of paying off the piano or putting a large dent in the balance due.

Maybe you will find it in your heart to encourage me with your prayers and gifts. Especially at this Christmas season or end of the year giving. And yes, your gifts are tax deductible.

If Beloved, I have ministered to you somewhere in the past, would you be willing to minister to me? There are deep needs in my heart beyond the spoken requests for financial support and I hope you can hear it. I have been a wounded warrior and I ask you to strengthen what remains.

Not many single women would even attempt to drive across the country. You are those who step in as my husband, father, mother, brother, sister, guardians, and friends and I really do need you.

No gift is too small and not gratefully received. What hurts more than anything is to be ignored or disregarded. If you can’t give, pray for the release of Kingdom finances from those who can and then do it.

Remember to place your CD or Akiane book orders soon. I take credit cards and I am set up for Paypal. Go to Paypal.com and selahministries.com.

I am hoping to leave by Dec 21 and mail delivery on the road will be sporadic. At this time I will be driving to Henderson, NV to visit friends for Christmas, then plan stops in Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida.

In February, I’d like to spend time in North Carolina and Virginia. I will be planning the trip as I go. Many of you travel vicariously with me and I long to see you released into your own adventures. I’ll try to keep you posted.

The website www.carlareed.com is being developed, but online. To those enroute to or on the east coast, please contact me. You are welcome and encouraged to forward my email letter to those who may be interested in my coming or we have lost touch due to email address changes.

If you have any trouble receiving or sending emails to me at selahministries.com, please call and let me know. When the response is so low, I wonder if the emails are even going out or being lost in cyberspace.

Last of all, I hope I don't bore you. Thanks for taking time to listen to a friend in need.

May the Joys of Christmas be yours and the New Year of New Beginnings 2008, be the year that gives all of us a fresh start and a mended heart.

My love to each and every one of you.

Carla

Dearest ONES (11111111's)

Blessings and greetings to all of you once again!! It has been quite awhile since my last email and I have much to tell you. Because of the date, however, 11-11-07, I want to share some of my favorite stories with you and hoping you can take the time to enjoy them or run off a copy to read at your leisure. Remember, one byte at a time.

The most recent story involves the "Glory Van", my Honda Odyssey purchased in 2004. Last month on my trip to Great Falls and Helena, Montana, I officially turned over 111,111 miles. I have certainly put on lots of miles across the country. I'm including a picture taken when I pulled off I-15 south of Helena, MT on October 16.

The Glory Van has made many trips across America and it has been my hope to spread the Good News of the Gospel and His Kingdom Glory wherever I go. It has taken gallons and gallons of expensive gas, regular maintenance and the faithfulness of the Lord to make the monthly payments when I had no idea how it could happen. I hope I have inspired and challenged you to go as the Lord directs you to go and enjoy His provision and protection wherever He takes you.

To HIS Glory and Grace, He has taken me 111,111 miles and now more without incident and accident. Isn't that worth HIS Praise???

I also want to share with you a present need. Honda recommends a timing belt change at 105,000 miles. I am already 10,000 miles over that at 115,000. I have been trusting the Lord for a perfect "timing" to change the timing belt and hope I don't push the limits. I know it needs to be done soon. The cost of changing it out is about $1200. If I don't, I will risk the damage and inconvenience of it going out and more expense.

Would you like to help? You can send a check or I can take credit/debit cards as well. Your help in maintaining the Glory Van is needed and so appreciated. At present, I do not have any other allocated funds for repairs and hope to give the Glory Van and its driver a rest awhile. I'll share more later.

You love and financial support is gratefully acknowledged. Thank you so much. I cannot do it without you.

Love always, Carla

Now for some classic 111 and 1111 stories from the past few years.

If you have been one (1) of those who see 1111's all the time, I think you'll enjoy the stories. You are free to pass them along as well to others who are infected and we can enjoy the mystery.

2007

I want to tell you my favorite 1111 story of this past year, 2007. This is a goodie. I think it's the best one yet and surely will make you laugh as it did me.

In June, I was busy preparing for a trip to Seattle and Portland. Which, by the way, became one of the most amazing trips I've taken yet. I keep saying that about my journeys, as they increase in amazement and wonder.

After many preparations and packing, I left Liberty Lake about 10:00 on Wednesday, June 27. I had some stops: the bank, the post office, the place that duplicates my CD's. Then I headed toward Spokane, stopping at the Costco store to return a blouse I decided not to keep. For those who don't know, Costco is a large discount warehouse, competitor to Sam's Club. It started in Seattle and is mainly in the northwest and California. I have been to them in other states on the east coast as they are gaining in popularity and as far as I'm concerned, are far better is merchandise and cost than Sam's Club.

Anyway, after returning my blouse, at customer service, I decided to make a quick trip to the bathroom. I was then heading to Seattle about 300 miles west of Spokane. As I entered the restroom, I picked the handicapped stall as it always gives you more room to move around. I reached across the toilet to pull out a couple toilet seat tissue to cover the seat.

As I began to turn around, I heard a loud plop. As I had prepared to do what I needed to do, I turned suddenly to find that one of my cell phones had just dropped into the commode, holster and all. Of course, I was horrified. Somehow, I had brushed my arm up against my cell phone which had been hooked to the outside of my pocket, and it had fallen in the toilet.

I cried out; "Oh, No!" Before I could think too much, I quickly reached into the toilet to retrieve my cell phone. Fortunately, I had not used the toilet yet and the toilet did not automatically flush. It's fall had been cushioned by the seat cover tissues as they had fallen in as well. I shook off the water and took a quick look to see if it was still working. Only to find that the time was 11:11 am. I couldn't believe it!! Not only had I just dropped my cell phone in the commode, but I had done it at 11:11. Many of you know that is my number and has represented positive alignment, being in the right place at the right time, amidst other things. But even in the toilet???

Earlier, I had strapped both of my cell phones in their holsters to my large Capri pockets. Normally, I try to keep them in my pockets, but for some reason, I had them on the outside. You may wonder why I have two cell phones. My 605-376-0033 number is my longtime cell phone, area code of South Dakota, my home state. I've had it nearly 8 years and keep it as I have it on many cards, brochures, and CD's.

I have some wonderful stories of people finding my ministry card and calling that cell after several years. About two years ago, my fairly new at the time cell phone hinge cracked, leaving me without a cell for about 2 weeks during the replacement process and making life difficult. At the time, I could add another line for $10 with a free phone. It seemed like a good option when you're dependent on a cell phone for communication. When I was in Moravian Falls, NC, I had added a local area code and line. Last fall when I moved to Liberty Lake, I changed the number to 509-599-0433, which gives me a Washington area code and number.

Last fall, my only 10 month old replacement cell phone for 605-376-0033 broke in exactly the same place, leaving me with another crippled phone. I had to wait out the 2 month time frame for a free rebate on a new phone and so began to use the 509 phone as it worked properly. It did come in handy after all. Thus people began to call equally on both phones.

I am amazed they can actually ring in at the same time and now, I juggle both phones, but don't want to give up either.

The 509-599-0433 phone is the one I dropped into the commode that registered 11:11 am when I fished it out. What do you do with a wet phone and holster? I didn't want it in my purse, so I just put them into the large pockets of my capri jeans and decided to walk around the store to look for a couple of things I needed.

I was very aware of my wet cell phone in my pocket. About 5 minutes later, I took it out to see if it was still working. The screen was lit up, but it was STUCK on 11:11. I couldn't believe it!! I couldn't help but smile. Even if my cell phone had just been drown and wasn't working, the fact that it was stuck on 11:11 made me laugh. I checked it again before I left the store, it was STILL 11:11. I shook my head in disbelief. Then I left the store to go to my van. The actual time was about 11:36 on my van clock, but my cell phone STILL said 11:11. It was as if time had stood still at 11:11. Selah.

I laid the wet phone and holster on the floor of the van while I made another stop. About 10 minutes later, when I got back into the van, the cell phone had shut itself off and the screen was dark. I tried to turn it back on and it did come on, giving me the message: service required. I figured that. It had been stuck on 11:11 for 15 minutes and more.

Since I was headed west, I decided to stop in Moses Lake at the Sprint Store, about 2 hours away. Leaving Spokane and heading uphill on I-90, I couldn't help but ask the Lord what He was trying to say to me. I heard one word: Eliminate. I smiled. That is what you do in a bathroom. Then I felt He said; "It is time to eliminate certain things from your life". I knew it was a message for me, but also for the groups I would be meeting with in Seattle and Portland. And I knew I was to share it with you. It's time to flush.

I thought of several: debt elimination, regret, fears, insecurities, hurts, bitterness, anger, prejudices, resentments, unhealthy relationships, bad thoughts, worry, anxiety, etc. Anything that is waste. What is wasting your time and mine in fruitless activity needs to get flushed. Selah.

THESE ARE MORE 111 STORIES FROM THE PAST FOR YOUR CONTEMPLATION AND ENJOYMENT!!

As I looked back at some old newsletters and read these few stories, I was reminded again of the Lord's faithfulness to us in the midst of adversity and trial.

One story that I wanted to share was concerning a trip I made to friend's house in Fairmont, MN in April 2002. I had stopped to see her and she asked me where I'd been. The previous fall, I had spent 6 weeks on a sabbatical at a wonderful prayer retreat in Winthrop, WA and fell in love with mountains and the whole northwest.

I was feeling drawn there, but Joshua at that time was not. To facilitate showing her that trip, I asked if she had an atlas. She did. It was an older edition, but I looked up the state of Washington. As I used my finger to point out where I'd been traveling, SUDDENLY, I saw it was on page number 111. Now I'd been traveling for weeks and months, looking at my atlas daily and never bothered being concerned with page numbers. Yet, on hers, Washington and Winthrop were located on page 111. My number. My heart soared and I wondered if indeed the Lord was going to lead us to Washington. In fact, I was sooooo excited, I bartered my brand new atlas for her old one. I still have it. In most current atlas's, Washington, DC is on page 111. That too is significant.

Fast forward to now. The Lord did indeed move us to Moses Lake that very year in Sept 2002, through an amazing set of circumstances to allow Josh to go to college. I hardly knew anything about Moses Lake, and it certainly didn't have any mountains!!! BUT, Moses Lake, WA is on Page 111 of that old atlas, still in my possession.. I like to remind myself of that when I wonder "why"..

May the Lord bless and keep you on this wonderful day of alignment with His purposes. Here's another excerpt in 2004.

I'm choosing to write to you today, because it is a very special number 1-11. For the past few years the Lord has spoken to me prophetically and confirmed His Word and plans through this unusual number 111 or 1111. In fact, across the country, many know me as the lady with all the 111 stories. I believe 1-1-1-1 speaks of a Divine Alignment, being in the right place, at the right time, with the right motives and the right people. Also it speaks of unity. I tend to see the number from left to right, reading as in the Hebrew Language.

Like this: 1000 < 100 < 10< 1 < thus adding them together - 1111

I have also thought of it in dimensions, like ripples in the water after a pebble is tossed into it.
Out of unity, (1) come the measure and testimony (10) of the fullness (100) of the glory (1000) undiminished forever.

The meanings of the numbers are:

1 - UNITY.
" I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you may walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness, and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavoring to keep the UNITY of the Spirit, in the bond of peace. There is only ONE body, and ONE Spirit, even as ye are called in ONE hope of your calling; ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all." Eph 4: 1-6

There just so happened to be 7 ONE'S, the number of perfection.

10 - THE NUMBER OF TESTIMONY AND THE MEASURE OF RESPONSIBILITYTen Commandments, 10 plagues, 10 virgins, 10 cities, the tithe, a tenth.

100 - THE FULLNESS OF THE PROMISE
Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born, 100 fold blessings, 100 sheep, 100 per cent.

1000 - DIVINE COMPLETENESS AND THE GLORY OF GOD"And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands." Rev 5:11

The Hebrews had no number for million, so they used thousands times thousands, which is the Glory of God undiminished.

Hope you find all that interesting. It IS a special day.

NOW FOR SOME WONDERFUL OLDER BUT "GOODER" STORIES!! Keep the dates in mind.

June 2002

It was about a year ago, I faced a really dark time when my transmission went out on my van and I was stranded without my personal things. I had to wait a week for it and the enemy was fighting me SO hard about coming west. I had been planning a trip, but suddenly it looked like it was totally impossible and I felt the hot breath of hell say "you're finished".

Also at that time, Joshua was reluctant to go out with me again and I felt pressure on top of pressure, not sure what to do. Anyone know what I'm talking about? One week later, the van was fixed and I climbed in. As I started the van, the clock radio said 1:11.

Those of you who know me, know that has been my number. The wonder of it was that it was only about 11:30 am. Yet, once that van started, it proceeded to go to 1:12, etc. I was overwhelmed with the grace of the Lord who promised me He had been there all along and I was going to need that new transmission to go all the way to the west coast and cross the mountains. The $1550 bill that I stewed about, was miraculously paid within one week and somehow that clock radio that was wrong, was really "right" on time for me.

I also need a new spiritual "trans-mission", as my gears certainly felt stripped. I later reflected, that I had to get "stripped and whipped to get equipped." I told Josh I wanted to drive back the same route and show him where I had broke down as I crossed the Missouri River in south central SD. It "just so happened" that at the moment we drove over the spot, I glanced at the time and it was the real 1:11 in the afternoon. Again, HE was there all the time.

1-11-03

Many of you have heard some of my 111 stories, which is why I wanted this to go out on 1-11. This past year I had multiplied occasions when I would catch the clock at exactly 11 minutes past the hour, whether it was 1:11, 2:11, 7:11, 8:11, etc. The Lord reminded me that time zones are for our convenience and that wherever it is eg., 7:11, it is 1:11 somewhere else.

Also with that came certain scriptures that are quickened to me in that moment. My favorite 7:11 store is Matt 7:11. "If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, HOW MUCH MORE will your FATHER who is in heaven give good and advantageous things to those who KEEP ON ASKING...."

My absolute favorite 8:11 is Romans 8:11. "And if the Spirit of HIM who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then HE who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead WILL ALSO RESTORE TO LIFE your mortal bodies, through His Spirit Who dwells in YOU....

With that I want to suggest a way to partner in agreement with us for the coming year. Many "TIMES" we send a donation without realizing that the very amount can be a prophetic prayer and declaration. Recently I was meditating on the numbers and felt to suggest that you give this year wherever that might be, in multiples of 11. I saw it something like this:

1x111 = 111 alignment/unity/source/beginnings/first

2x111 = 222 agreement/two witnesses/testimony/double portion

3x111 = 333 completion/perfect agreement/trinity/third day

4x111 = 444 creation/earth/world/seasons

5x111 = 555 grace/five-fold ministry/hands on ministry/healing

6x111 = 666 identification with human condition/6th day/mankind

7x111 = 777 perfection/beauty/completeness/Sabbath rest/peace

8x111 = 888 new beginnings/resurrection life

9x111 = 999 fruitfulness/fullness/full term pregnancy/ hope

10x111=1110 multiplied measure/ten/law/order-restoration

1111 = perpetual fullness/prophetic fulfillment/eternal

March 2004

I returned about two weeks ago from an exceptional trip to North Carolina. I'm always amazed in retrospect at the struggle of whether to go or not and wondering if I'm hearing from God at all. However, in the going, He makes Himself so real to us and works miracles of provision, protection and sovereign connections.

I also had numerous 111 confirmations and "sightings". One of my favorite is that I had borrowed a van to drive to a weekend conference in Richlands and had left Raleigh that morning. It had snowed the night before and my heart was fearful I wouldn't be able to get out of the neighborhood where I was staying. However, my friend, Mark had shoveled a long driveway and the weather warmed to melt enough to leave early-afternoon.

I stopped at a fairly new gas station/mini mart to use the bathroom on the south side of Goldsboro. As I walked into the mini mart, past the coffee station, on my way to the bathroom, two men were talking and one of them was giving directions to the other one, who was lost. He said, "And you have to get on Hwy 111 and it's right out here." Now what are the odds of hearing that?

I had somehow managed to stop at the intersection of Hwy 70 and Hwy 111 in Goldsboro. Only God can so direct our steps and stops. I laughed a long time about that one. I have lots of other stories as well from that trip, which reminded me of an old song:

"He knows where I am, every hour of the day, He knows the thoughts I think, every word I will say. And altho there've been times, I've been out of His will, I've never been out of His care."

November 2004I have sooooooo many other things to tell you, but will conclude with one of the most amazing things that happened on my recent trip:

As I drove into Idaho Falls from Butte, MT, I saw the sign for Salt Lake City. I was quickened with the thought, "I could go there". I had an open day and was about 200 miles away. Then my reason kicked in and said, "Why, would you do that??'

It was on my first trip from Twin Falls, ID to Blackfoot, ID the summer of 2000 that I had my first profound experience with 111, when I happened to look and see I'd come 111 miles and it was 1:11 in the afternoon. That next summer, in 2001, I found out the last three digits of SLC zip code was 111 and I was led to go and pray there at the Great Salt Lake. It was an awesome day and story of being there and meeting Tim and Cindy McGill who pastor SLC Foursquare and also work with Streams Ministries, dream interpretation and John Paul Jackson.

After several days of wresting and reasoning on this recent trip, I called Cindy who just happened to be home and could meet me for lunch. It was my first time ever to drive over 200 miles to meet someone for lunch, but we did have an awesome time! I had also been given the name of Marie, an anointed woman pastor and called to tell her hi from mutual friends. She "just so happened" to be free for the evening and offered to meet me for supper and we talked for almost 3 hours.

The next day, I went back to the very same place on the Salt Lake that I had prayed by Divine unction over 4 years ago. As I was coming back, I realized I was about to turn 22, 222 miles. This whole year has been filled with 2's and I shared last time about my amazing trip after Labor Day, when I hit mile marker 222 at 2:22 on Hwy 97 north of Wenatchee, WA.

Now this is almost unbelievable, but God!!!!! As I left the Salt Lake, on my way back to the city, I was on I-80. As I approached mile marker 111, my mileage turned to 22,222 and by the time I got to Exit 111, I was still on 22,222. I took lots of pictures and had my camcorder with me. It shocked even me!! My 111's and 222's have had to do with SLC. When I returned, I took time to drive downtown around the Mormon Tabernacle and believe God is going to do something miraculous with the LDS people.

BLESSINGS TO ALL YOU ONE (1) DERFUL PEOPLE.

I LOVE YOU !!!! CARLA

Dearest Friends,

Blessings and Greetings to all of you once again!!

I wanted to share the good news that Joshua has come back safely from Iraq and is currently at his base in Ft Bragg, NC. He called me at 5:30 in the morning a few days ago to tell me he was safely back in the country. I didn't mind a bit.

Why not welcome him home? His phone number is 509-361-3175 and his email address is: jareed_amt@hotmail.com. Let him hear from you. He will be getting a leave to come back to Spokane for one of the holidays, probably Christmas. He has been in Iraq nearly 15 months, with only one 2 week leave in April. It is so good to be able to call him again.

I will be leaving tomorrow for some meetings in Montana. Then I'm planning to drive back to South Dakota to be in some meetings in the area with Glenn and Terrie Smith, the couple who have been receiving the gemstones. They will be in Sioux Falls and Northfield, MN the last week of October.

I am using the occasion to prayerfully support them and also to see my family one more time before the snow flies. It is unlikely I will see any of them for the holidays. Distance and road conditions usually make winter travel precarious and unwise.

Your prayerful and financial support are my mainstay. Thank you for standing with me. It is my joy and honor to know you. I'd surely love to hear from you soon.

Love to all, Carla

Beloved Friends,

Blessings and Greetings to each of you once again!!! I'm happy to report that I made it safely home two weeks ago and have been thoroughly enjoying my own bed and the beautiful apartment Father graciously provided for me a year ago. I arrived home on Labor Day remembering and celebrating it was exactly a year ago on Labor Day that I had moved in. What a joy to turn the key into the lock of the door of my very own place and see that all was well after being gone for 6 weeks to the day. My beautiful piano was waiting for me and I was elated to sleep in my own bed after such an intensive trip.

I had wanted to write to you earlier, but had so much to catch up on, including picking up mail after 6 weeks, getting some groceries, unloading the van, unpacking and doing some laundry and housecleaning. I was preparing for the International Healing Rooms Spiritual Hunger Conference in Spokane and was blessed to have company coming 2 days after my arrival home.

My precious friend, Irene, flew in from Long Island, NY and we had a marvelous four days of going to the meetings at the new downtown arena along with nearly 5,000 people from around the world. You really must come next year!! The level of expectation, hunger, zeal, anointing and healings were unprecedented and many were profoundly impacted and changed. It was delightful and fun to see so many friends from across the country and Irene couldn't believe how many people I knew! It was her first time to the northwest and the beauty of the land and people blessed her greatly.

Last week, I had planned to catch up on emails and get a newsletter out, but found I had finally hit the slow spot. I just couldn't move or do much of anything, but sleep, eat, and sleep some more. I knew you'd understand. I hope you've been wondering what happened and will enjoy what I have to share. I will be writing more later as there is way toooooo much for this newsletter, but want to give you an overview and it will get lengthly.

Over and over, people tell me how much they enjoy the newsy letters and to keep them coming. If they get too long, just take a bite or a byte at a time. (smile)

The last newsletter I wrote was while in Tulsa where I met with the most marvelous group of people and directors, Larry and Paula, who run the Tulsa Healing Rooms. The Holy Spirit had been highlighting Tulsa for several weeks and I was so glad I listened.

I especially enjoyed meeting Shawn and Karin Alyea who treated me to a beautiful meal and we shared for several hours. I learned they had lived in Hawaii and had many connections, including Shawn's family. I have noted that the Lord brings up certain places frequently and then you get your Divine connections and go. I had to smile that it seemed I had to go to Tulsa in order to go to Hawaii, hopefull next spring.

I left Tulsa on a Sunday evening, Aug 12 to "overnight it" 825 miles to Cleveland, TN. I wanted to be able to spend some time with David and Becky Van Koevering, the beautiful couple who had ministered at the Quantum Leap Conference in Coeur D Alene right before I left. I was blessed to play the famous Van Koevering piano and we had a glorious time of sharing.

David put the beautiful gemstone given to me in his laser light and we watched the colors and light dance in the room. You can check out David's website at: www.elsewhen.com So much revelation is coming about quantum physics and how it relates to the Spirit. As you are able, be sure and order his books and CD's as you will be challenged and changed by the uniqueness of the message and messenger.

After leaving Cleveland, TN, I drove to Moravian Falls, NC, arriving just in time to attend the weekly Tues night prayer meeting at Apple Hill Lodge. It felt like coming home as I had spent over 6 months in the area from Nov 2005 to May 2006.

The friendships are deep and abiding and I was instantly at home with them again flowing in the Spirit and the beautiful anointing of unity of heart and Spirit. Towards the end, Harry Bizzell asked if anyone else had anything else to share and about a dozen hands suddenly pointed to me as people called out, " Carla's here! Have Carla share!"

With that I went to the front to greet them and tell them the wonderful stories of the gemstones in both CdA and Seattle and that we are moving into more signs and wonders as the Holy Spirit pours out His Glory. At the end, I prayed for impartation as we all stood and began to sing in the Spirit.

The acoustics at Apple Hill make for a glorious, beautiful sound of worship and we had a Glory cloud settle in upon us as closed out the evening with worship and brownies. My friend, Pam Clark, took some awesome pictures of the meeting and the people holding the large purple gemstone and small diamonds. You simply MUST look at her website: Her pictures are some of the best I've seen or have been taken. Go to www.prophetic.net/stones.

I had only one full day in Moravian Falls and cleared out my storage unit and packed the van with the things I had wanted to keep. I had tried to pack light when I left home, and by HIS grace, was able to get all my belongs in the van to take home. I eventually got crowded out after 6 weeks as I kept adding things. By the last week, my van felt like an overstuffed closet. I just closed the doors fast and hoped nothing fell out. The only thing to do was go home and unpack. I had lost control.

I left Moravian Falls to spend a couple days in Raleigh with my precious friends, Tom and Cathy Sullivan. I like to go there just to listen to them talk southern and enjoy Cathy's ice tea and good cookin'. This gracious couple kept my van for me on several occasions when I had to fly out of Raleigh. They truly model southern hospitality, charm, and friendship. I also shared about the gemstone and prayed for impartation with my favorite prayer and intercession group in Raleigh at Mt Olivet Baptist Church, so capably and wisely led by Edith Jackson and meeting in Room 111.

It seems I've spent several years laying foundational friendships and now I get to build upon them and just see my God family all over the country! It's like coming home everywhere.
As I left Raleigh on Aug 18, I drove to Ashland, VA to be the campground for a few days. The main focus of my trip was to be in Ashland in August to celebrate and commemorate my 10 year anniversary of my ordination by Ruth Heflin on Aug 31, 1997.

Joan Hunter, daughter of Charles and Frances Hunter, ministered while I was there and also Jeff Jansen came for three nights. I was very impressed with Joan's ministry and recommend you go to her website: joanhunterministries.org. You can order some of the best materials on healing found anywhere.

At the camp, I had several amazing Divine connections. While in Moravian Falls, my friend, Rosemary asked me if I knew of Alyosha Rybinov, a Russian born Jewish concert pianist and composer. I didn't. She gave me one of his CD's, but I hadn't even have time to listen to it.

Then, I was quite amazed to find out that Alyosha and his wife, Jody, were making a special 2 day appearance at the campground that week. They were planning to go to the Charlotte area to be part of the "One New Man" conference, hosted by Sid Roth. It was a sure Divine set-up as I basked in the beautiful music and worship sessions and also talked with them personally as we ate lunch. We truly had heart to heart connections, and I was truly honored and blessed to enjoy their ministry and develop a new friendship. It is my hope to help facilitate them coming to the northwest next year. Their website is www.SongOfIsrael@cfl.rr.com.

It was also more than coincidence that Jeff Jansen was there when I just so happened to come. Jeff was given one of the beautiful Coeur D Alene gemstones and has many amazing angelic encounters and signs and wonders in his meetings. I, of course, had the brilliant large purple gemstone given to me by Glenn and Terrie Smith of the Seattle area. These gemstones are two different manifestations and both couples are ordinary people like you and me. Aren't you glad for that??

Jane Lowder, the camp director asked me to speak in the 11:00 morning service the day before I left and I was able to publicly give thanks and praise to the Lord for HIS faithfulness the past 10 years of full time ministry and HIS protection and provision traveling across America so many times without incident and accident. I came to the camp to give honor where honor is due and gave with joy and tears the largest offering I have ever been able to give.

The Lord had spoken to me about exponential growth and the power of 10 in 10 years. David Van Koevering also shared with me about the power of 10 and it so applied to what I had been seeing and feeling before I left Washington. The Lord so graciously confirms His words to us when we are "out there, some where" trying to hear and obey. I rarely watch TV, but heard an advertisement for the new show "The Power of Ten". Amazing.

I spoke at the camp about the gemstones, HIS glory, and supernatural provision that is being released to HIS body. I also shared about how the Lord put it on my heart to get a piano and as "Morning Glory" played, I prayed for an activation of people's buried dreams and desires. Then I prayed for many people, showing them the gemstone and laying hands on them for impartation and childlike wonder to be restored to us. It was a beautiful and powerful service and I was ambushed with many wanting to see the gemstone and asking questions. It was a pure fun!!

My next stop was in Ocean City, Maryland with Randy and Barbara Walter, who have a beautiful home dedicated to the Lord and host many gatherings of His people on the eastern shore of Maryland. I shared with a small group, and Randy took his camera and got some amazing photographs of the gemstone as well. You might remember that I said I had counted the facets and was surprised to learn there were 137.

The gemstone is an amazing 189.5 karats as well. Specific gravity of 5.5 makes it heavy and dense. When I asked the Lord why it was so heavy for it's size, HE reminded me that the Hebrew word for glory is kabod, which means heaviness or weightiness. They truly are glory stones and living stones. Randy commented that the 137 facets seemed to him to be more like lenses and that the center is clear like an eye. That made for some interesting speculation as he watched the colors change with slight shading. Randy also is the managing editor of the Christian newspaper, Manna, which covers the DelMarVA area (Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia). He and many others interconnect with ministries and leaders to facilitate unity in the area.

My next stop was Milford, Delaware with a wonderful group of ladies whom I love dearly. We had so much fun with the gemstone and talking about frequencies and light and of course, the Love of the Lord. It was my delightful friend, Janice, who gave me a map of Delaware in 2000 and invited me to come. I knew that was a serious invite. Janice has been with me at Lewes when I pulled out the first Atlantic Ocean waters in 2000 and then prayed again, full circle in 2001 and 2002. So it seemed fitting that my next stop would take me on the Lewes- Cape May Ferry across the Delaware bay to New Jersey.

I'm always amazed at how the Lord makes our connections. While still in SD at my son's house, I received a call from Pastor Rob Meyer of Wildwood, NJ. He had been given my name several months earlier by friends, Gordon and Ramona Hofer of Wright, Wyoming. After all that time, he just so happened to call me asking if I ever came to the east coast. I had to laugh as I told him, " I just so happen to be on my way to the east coast right now." With that, we set up a meeting in Wildwood, NJ, an island off the eastern shore for Sunday, Aug 26.

As I waited to board the ferry in Lewes, I was filled with a strange excitement at reaching this far eastern shore of our nation. Rob and Connie have been in the hotel and tourist business for many years and pastor a small, but hungry group of people. They had heard of the gemstones and were eager to hear more and receive an impartation. How I love the simply hungry people who are so open to more of the Lord without all the checklists of doubt and scrutiny.

We were not disappointed as a beautiful diamond came to the pastor's sister an hour after the meeting. It is more than a karat and shone brilliantly in the light. She found it at the threshhold of the laundry room door where this precious lady was sweating and toiling to do the hotel laundry. Isn't that just like the Lord? To have a brilliant diamond show up in a hotel for the poor as His servant does their laundry! She had been looking and asking for one and it happened. Imagine that!!

Yesterday, I called Pastor Rob and asked if there had been any more and they have had at least six diamonds show up in various places. That so blesses me!! I really hunger to see the impartation of this beautiful realm of the glory to come to His people everywhere. As I continue to travel this year, I'm asking and believing for continued impartation everywhere I minister and show the gems. Give me a call and we'll set up meetings as schedules permit.

This past weekend, I was with Glenn and Terrie Smith of Seattle in two meetings in the Spokane area. One was a home meeting and one a church experiencing revival in Colville, WA. In both meetings, tiny "seed" diamond-like gemstones manifested as they appeared on the floor and some felt them fall. Over 100 came in each meeting and there was so much joy released as adults and children looked at the floor and picked up tiny stones. We were all looking down and around.

Let me tell you one more thing about Wildwood, NJ. The night before I left, I once again placed my feet in the Atlantic Ocean at an extremity of the country. I had gone as far east as I could go!! With that I began my westward journey home the next day and a week later arrived in Washington. What a drive!

I spent two nights in Pennsylvania with long time friends, Cathy, Susan, and others. Also ministered with a group in Ft Loudon I had not seen in over 5 years. We had wonderful glory meetings and enjoyed our friendships and sharing about the Lord and expecting gemstones and miracles happening in our midst.

I "overnighted" again to be able to have some time with precious friends and supporters, Jim and Diane of Chippewa Falls, WI. They have been having glory meetings in their home on Friday nights and are watching the anointing and power of the Lord flow in their midst after many dry years and many tears of longing and waiting for a fresh move of God among His people. I have always had a special love for Wisconsin and the "cheese heads".

I made one more stop with long time friends, DuWayne and Angie Madson of Butterfield, MN where we squeezed in a meeting in the afternoon before I left for my son's home near Sioux Falls that evening, Sept 1. I was heading west and by then, the fever took hold.

I had initially planned to spend Labor Day with my family, but after seeing them on Saturday night and Sunday morning, I got the itch to get home. And the only thing I wanted was my own bed. I was done!! My family graciously understood and I excused myself and left about 2:00 on Sunday afternoon. I had planned to drive to the Black Hills and then stop for the night. I knew it was at least 1300 miles home, but when you want to get home, nothing else matters!

I finally stopped in Sundance, WY at a hotel that wanted way too much money for the nominal room it offered. I couldn't do it. I decided I'd rather sleep in my van! So I drove further and stopped at a rest stop. Put up my sun (now night) shades and closed my eyes. I'd slept for about an hour when I got an unexpected call from my friend, Brett of Moravian Falls. He just so happened to be in Seattle on a business trip and was coming to Spokane the next night and wondered when I'd be home. Then I knew I was meant to get on down the road and meet him there.

Brett and Michelle have been special friends of mine since we met sovereignly in Moravian Falls in June 2005 and I consider Brett a real brother to me. He has been active in developing a business network called UriLife with Uri International, a company that sells a whole food product called The Feast. He has done exceptionally well and has won the admiration of the entire company, awarding him a wonderful promotion already.

It was a tender God moment to celebrate with Brett, friend and business associate, Frank, Brett's mom and Michelle's mom, both who live in Spokane and eat at a wonderful restaurant downtown the night I got home.

The reason I'm injecting this is that I put Uri's 'Feast' and 'Beyond Berries' to the test for 6 weeks. I stopped all other vitamins as they upset my stomach and I could never keep up with how much I needed of what. So I just quit it all and went to 100% whole foods. The Feast is 30 different vegetables, fruits, seeds, probiotics, enzymes, etc in one product. The food is dehydrated slowly to preserve nearly all the nutrients which makes it so easy to use on the road and just mix with water or part water and juice. I took it once, twice and sometimes, three times a day to feed my cells and keep my strength and energy levels.

I can truly say I have never had anything that worked so well. I was gone for six weeks, drove nearly 8,700 miles and kept the most amazingly intense pace I have ever attempted. I was changing beds and locations constantly and ministered many times as well. As I traveled I met many with nutritional and physical needs and I want to encourage you to check out the products at the website: www.uriinternational.com.

Yes, I am a member and when you sign up for only $10.00, you can order at a discount and begin to feed your cells. My number is #24169 and I do benefit if you sign up and order. Let me know if you'd like some help or info. I normally don't do commercials, but I have a great testimony about this product, and I'll tell you more if you are interested. I just couldn't keep a good thing to myself.

Now to finish my story and the journey. I ended up with my last 'overnighter' as I drove straight home. I couldn't help it. I stopped for about 3 hours of sleep and a nap or two, but pulled into my parking space in about 29 hours driving time and 1300 miles later. Truly HIS angels kept me all the miles across the country and in and out of traffic, construction zones and city driving. My testimony is that if He can do it for me, He can do it for you as well. HOw Faithful HE is!!!

This coming week I will be driving to Seattle for the International Aglow Conference. I have spoken at many Aglow meetings across America but never been to a conference. This will mark the 40 year anniversary of Women's Aglow and I feel compelled to go and honor the remarkable history of those who began so simply 40 years ago, never dreaming their ladies meetings would become national and world wide. Truly we cannot fully comprehend that we are building for the future and for our children and grand children.

With that I will close out the travel log and share more in my next email. I hope to be able to send them out regularly and would so enjoy hearing back from you. Honest.

As always, your love, financial support and prayers are greatly needed and cherished. We are truly in this together and I am crippled without you. As I recoup and regroup, I so need you to continue to stand with me and pray that I will see clearly into the next season. I am set up to receive Paypal transfers or credit/debit card donations. And a check in the mail is a sure way to make me smile.

May you be comforted in His love, compelled by His Grace and taste and see that HE is good.

Love to all, Carla

Josh's Birthday & More... - March 29, 2007

Dear Friends across America,

Blessings to all of you!!

I wanted to inform you of several things coming up.

1 -Joshua' 21st birthday is Sunday, April 1. You can send him an email at jareed_amt@hotmail.com It would be a real blessing for him to receive birthday greetings from you. It will be a day he will never forget as he is spending his 21st birthday in Iraq. If you have time, encourage him and remind him of who your are, or tell a favorite story you remember about him.

I received an email from him that he is scheduled for a 2 week leave from Iraq to come home and will leave on April 18. That will put him in Spokane by the weekend and give him about 10 days home. It will be joy indeed to see him. The last time was last July about a week before his deployment on July 22.

If you'd like to send a card, his address is:

Spec Joshua Reed
D Company 1-82
ARB 25 CABFOB
Speicher APO AE 09393

Cards take about 10-14 days, or you can send it to him % my address at the top of the email. All correspondence to me should be sent to me at that address as well.

I will never forget that day nearly 21 years ago when I went into labor on April Fools' Day, 1986. The joke was on me. For one thing, I thought I was having a girl and had a beautiful name picked out. At the time, ultrasounds were not as common. Instead, I had a boy.

I always teased Josh he played a good joke on me. I went into labor early in the morning and my older kids thought I must be playing a joke on them and was hiding out in the house somewhere. My mom had come over early to tell them I had gone to the hospital and to get them ready and off to school.

Later, when they were informed the baby was a boy, they thought that must be the joke and surely it was a girl. All around, we had a good laugh. It seemed there just had to be a joke in there somewhere and the joke was on us. Surely Josh has brought great joy and laughter to his family through the years and we are downright proud of him. And time proved the Lord's great wisdom in giving me a son, not a daughter, to travel with me, carry luggage in and out, and help navigate across the country.

2 -On another note that is not a joke, but feels like it, I have had someone hack into my hotmail account. They have taken my address and are using it to send out some questionable advertisements. I discovered it this week, when I got an email from myself advertising Viagra. So, I'm warning you if you get some goofy ads that have my email address, please know I'm NOT sending them. I'm attempting to let Hotmail know what has happened and hoping they can stop it.

I've used my email address since 1999 and don't really want to change it. So again, if you get a questionable email or ad, delete it, and let me know. If you block it, it will block my further emails as well. I'd like to track it down and hang the offenders by their toenails.

3 -I'm hoping each of you got my newsletter about putting a deposit on a grand piano. It should be shipped to the store this week and I have received about $500 more to put on it. I'm a long ways from paying for it yet. It goes into layaway until then.

Thank you for prayerfully considering giving and investing in this grand instrument of praise and worship. I have only heard from a few, so I'm nervously, eagerly and anxiously waiting to see the response for it. Let me hear from you. Don't forget to request your demo copy of the song, Morning Glory.

It would bring great joy to have it when Joshua comes home. My oldest son, Steven, who is the truck driver is planning to get a load to Seattle so he can come by for a few days. We are hoping to be able to fly out my daughter and her youngest, Joseph, age 18 mo, for a few days as well. And of course, my middle son, Scott, lives in Moses Lake.

It is possible I will have all 4 of my children with me during his leave. What fun that will be!!!! Both Steven and Anne have played piano and are so happy to hear I'm getting one. I can't think of a better initiation than to have my whole family gather around the piano while Josh is here. If you are not able to give at this time, please agree with me in prayer for miracle provision.

4 -In the days ahead, I will be sharing with you about a dietary supplement called The Feast. It is made by Uri International and is a 100% whole food product that is one source for complete nutrition. It has 30 fruits and berries, 30 greens and vegetables, 11 seeds and sprouts, 83 active enzymes and minerals, and 22 strains of probiotics... all good stuff. The company is 3 years old, but started by a man who has nearly 30 years in nutritional research and production. The green powder base he originally produced was the base of Juice Plus, Barley Green, and utilized by other nationally promoted products. His first name, Uri, is actually a Hebrew name that means light or flame.

I have just signed up to be a distributor and will be working with my friend, Brett, who lives in Moravian Falls, NC. He was the one of the top distributors for Sea Silver, before it got in trouble with the FDA and his downline crumbled. Brett has an anointing for business and networking and is one of the best.

Because of his bad experiences with Sea Silver, he has thoroughly researched Uri International and believes it is the best product and company in the country with the potential of making millions without offending the FDA. Brett has developed a website to build a business and to share his insights about the good and bad of network marketing. I would not have considered signing up except for my confidence in Brett. He is a true brother in the Lord to me and working with him will be an adventure. I would never recommend anything to you I had not researched or had utmost confidence in as a product or a potential for business.

You can go to the website: http://www.uriinternational.com/ to learn more. The cost to sign up is only $9.95 onetime and will give you 20% off the products. I've not normally been impressed with network marketing, but I do feel this is an opportune time to build a home business, get healthy, and help others get healthy all at once. Even if you're not interested in the business aspect, the product is the best I've found. And I've been all over this country and seen a lot of products out there. Just check it out. If you do sign up, please use my ID # 24169.

5 -Finally, I seem to have stuck a chord that resonated and resounded when I commented how weary I grew of whiny guitars, bang, clang, and loud noisy repetitive music in worship sessions. I do believe we need a reformation. Others are coming forward and speaking up on it and I welcome some dialogue. I do not want to minimize or belittle what some people can worship to, but for many of us, it's a distraction, abstraction, and subtraction.

I will tell you this, it is not the sound of the Holy place. You can't hop, bebop, skateboard, and pop your gum in that place. What some call worship has the spirit of worldly mixture. It sounds the same and I don't buy it that the words make it "Christian". I am troubled that the desire to appeal to young people has denied, dismissed, and dishonored the preferring of mature saints and the elderly. When elderly people who are hard of hearing complain that the music is too loud, you better believe it!! Loud speakers will not cover up the lack of anointing.

Until we yearn and burn for His Presence, we will not discover that the sweetest sound of all is a holy hush and silence before Him. What I have heard and read described of heaven's worship is melodious and angelic. Personally, I long for the days of harmonious voices that once filled the atmosphere singing in the spirit. There seemed to be no sweeter sound than the people, the voice of many waters flowing in a river of spontaneous harmony, starting and stopping by a Holy Spirit given cue. Today, in many places, the voice of the congregation is being drowned out and ignored by platform performers.

In closing, thank you so much for your love, prayers, and financial support. You are the cream in my coffee. And let me tell, you I do like lots of cream.

Love, Carla

PS: If any of your are still needing a tax statement regarding your giving in 2006, please let me know. They will be sent out gladly upon request.

Wonderful Piano News - March 17, 2007

2007-11-12T10:34:00.000-08:00

Dearly Loved of the Father,

Blessings and greetings to you in the wonderful Name of Jesus!! I'm so excited tonight I can hardly stand it. I have some wonderful news to share with you.

Many of you know that for some time I've been longing and praying for a piano. When I first moved to my apartment in Liberty Lake, I was thrilled at the prospect of having a ground floor apartment where I could once again have a piano of my own. For those who don't know, I had put my dearly loved and well-played Wurlitzer console in storage in 1999, when I felt the Lord calling me to travel. What I thought would be a few months turned into 3 full years of travel. I hated having my piano in cold storage in SD, but it was in the back of the unit and I couldn't get it out until May 2002. At that time, I felt the Lord say I was to give it to my oldest son, Steven, who enjoyed playing and had room for it. It was bought when he was a baby and in my possession for over 30 years. It was family and needed to go to family.

Also, 2002 was the year Joshua and I moved to Moses Lake, WA and rented a 3rd floor condo unit. I called it the 3rd heaven experience getting up and down without an elevator. And of course, taking a piano across the country and up the steps would have hurt somebody.
About 3 years ago, the yearning to play again began to nag at me. I remember being at the home of some friends in Virginia and sitting down to play their new baby grand, when I was overcome unquenchable emotion and began to cry as I started to play. I had not anticipated that and I was shocked at the intensity of longing that filled my heart that day.

So many changes and travel seemed to make the prospect of owning another piano impossible and I'd grimly remind myself to "get over it". However, I just couldn't seem to do it. About a year ago, while staying in North Carolina, I was once again taken with such a desperate longing, I began to weep at the very thought and sound of piano music. I so yearned for good classical piano that I loved so much in years past and I missed the beauty and harmony of music. What has happened to the grandeur and majesty of worship?

At the risk of being misunderstood, I must tell you I have grown increasingly weary of whiny guitars and the boom, clang, bang of drums and drone of bass guitars on some worship teams. And I'll probably never appreciate distortion guitar in the sound of worship music. that to me is an oxymoron. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox for awhile. However, I am hearing more and more complaints about loud repetitive monotonous worship that seems to ignore the beauty of worship songs of the past in favor of younger generation pop rock worship, often in the name and claim of prophetic song and a new sound forced on some of us.

In the past year, I've actually walked out of several worship sessions as they were excruciating loud or brash and my spirit felt bruised. Where has all the beauty and harmony gone? We seem to get Johnny one-note leaders who haven't a clue no one is following. As a friend of mine says: "If you are leading and no one is following, you're just out for a walk." What I see in many worship services is a focus on platform prophetic performance and the people standing and sitting and waiting for it to get over with. Something is wrong. We have lost the beauty and power of corporate worship. What was so bad about being on "the same page"? If we read and speak the same Scriptures, can't we sing some of the same songs and hymns?

Please, no rotten tomatoes.

________________________

Back to the piano. Much has been spoken of regarding the restoration of the arts to the church. Music has always been my love. As a little girl, I amazed my parents and amused my grandparents by singing and memorizing nursery songs. I remember making up songs when I was 4 or 5. I begged my parents for piano lessons. My father bought an old upright piano at an auction when I was about 10. My first lessons at about 12 were from a high school girl down the road for 25 cents a lesson. And, yes, that was a long time ago. At least I learned how to read music and memorized my piano keys.

I eventually taught myself to play some simple songs and hymns. My grandmother once paid me to learn to play "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus" and I think she was rather wise in doing so. By high school, I was learning to play hymns and some classics, but my main focus was always singing. I tell people I learned to sing in the barn. I grew up in rural South Dakota and my parents were dairy farmers. The acoustics in that old cemented milk parlor were perfect for operettas. I entered my first talent show as a sophomore in high school and won singing an old Petula Clark song. memories.

In college, I took some lessons to learn how to chord and play hymns with more than the 4 part plunk. I so enjoyed it that I taught myself more and learned to accompany myself if needed. After I was married and had my oldest son, Steven, I bought a piano with the intention of trying to teach beginners and learn to play better myself. That piano suffered about 12-14 moves in the next 15 years. It was on that piano that I began to play worship songs and write some of my own in the early 70's. Later on, I decided I wanted to play more by ear and chording, so I wouldn't depend on music sheets in front of me. It became very valuable as I began to go deeper into worship and eventually gave me a sound and flow into a prophetic style that will hopefully bless many.

In October, I made a ministry trip to Idaho. While on the road one day, I was overcome with such a longing for a piano that it became not just a nice thing to have, but I felt the very urgent necessity of it like one would who is starving for food. I needed one and somehow had to get one. My desire had birthed a need.

My thoughts last year while traveling had been limited to dream of a piano similar to what I'd had. However, when I'd moved into my apartment I realized I now had a large spacious corner that just seemed to beg for a grand. I kept envisioning how beautiful and perfect a grand piano would be, could be, but how, which one, when, if... and so forth..

__________________________

In November, I was informed of a new music store in the mall, about 5 miles away. When I walked in I thought I was in piano heaven. I felt like Alice in pianoland. The large two rooms were being filled with grand pianos, and I quickly learned it was a new Steinway dealership. Some of you have already heard my story and my 5½ minute demo that was recorded spontaneously that day. For those who haven't, I'll explain.

I sat down at a 6 foot Steinway grand and my fingers danced across the keys. The salesman had asked if I played and I'd told him, yes, but mostly chords. It has been months and years since I've even looked at written sheet music. What music I do use is only written words with chords and I just fill it in. As I sat down to play, the salesman looked somewhat startled.

"That's more than chords", he said and indeed it was. How could I explain to that young Mormon, the anointing of the Holy Spirit that seemed to flow from my belly like a gushing river of life and out through my hands and unto the keys? He suddenly realized that particular piano was connected to a radio like recording system and offered to record my playing. He said, "Let me know when you're ready". "I'm ready," I responded.

He hit the record button, and I started playing. I just played and let the river and song run through me. After awhile, I realized I should wind it down. I had played spontaneously, by the Spirit for 5 ½ minutes. The salesman then saved the recording, burned a CD of it on the spot, and handed it to me. He said, "You play a whole lot better than you let on." We talked about the piano, an exquisite instrument with a price tag of $65,000. I guess I should have sounded good.

When I got out to my van, I put that freshly recorded CD in and listened to myself play. I was overcome with the beauty of the sound of the piano itself and the sound of Glory upon it. I began to weep in a deep travail of spirit with groaning and yearning so deep it defied reasonable.

Later on that evening, I shared that demo CD with my new friend, Deborah G. She commented on the beauty and depth of feeling in it and that she thought it was a sound that could literally go around the world.

Well, that was an awesome thought. Maybe the Lord really was telling me to get a piano. I realized there is a sound and song in me yearning and begging to be released.

Later, we went to her home and I asked Deborah's husband, Tom, to make a few copies. He decided to make a label and called the song "Morning Glory". I was shocked when I saw that on the label, as I'd not given it a name. "It reminded me of the 'Glory of the Morning' when the sun is coming up," he explained, when I pressed him: "Why did you put that on there?"

What he didn't know was that several days before I had even known about the piano store, I had been day-dreaming about the possibility of some day having my own music studio for teaching and recording, and that I'd considered the name "Morning Glory Music Studio" . The only 'disadvantage' would be the initials the MGM Studio. Ha. After that, I applied for a website domain called Morning Glory Music, which needs to be developed.

I felt the name that Tom gave the song was a powerful affirmation that the Lord was indeed pleased and that songs and the ideas were coming. I came home and stretched out a tape measure 6 foot into my living room, which stayed on the floor until February. I wanted to get use to the idea of a piano and it was a touch point of faith. I had some concerns about a $65,000 price tag, however, and decided to look some more. The Steinway really is the Cadillac of pianos and handcrafted, but it seemed unrealistic to have that expensive of a piano in an apartment. Maybe later on I'll work into one.
________________________

In December, my friend, Barbara Lanzdorf, came to the area to minister. I took her with me to the Steinway store to show her "my piano.". She took about 6-8 pictures of me, sitting proudly at the piano. Two of the pictures have beams of light that shoot down like pillars or swords and take up nearly half of the picture. I'm going to send you a copy of those. We were mystified by the light beams as I have a digital camera and there was no way a "light leak" could have gotten on the film. Every person who's looked at them feel they were angelic or heavenly manifestations of light. I could understand one freaky picture, but two bore witness of something greater.

Later in December, I was invited to a lunch with Tom and Deborah G. They had met a lovely Korean Christian the day before and invited her to join us. We found out later she just so happened to have a grand piano for sale. So we followed her home to see it. It was a baby grand, Wurlitzer, the same brand as I'd had. I sat down to play and couldn't seem to stop. I kept asking them "What do you like?" What do you know?"

Again, that same river of sound seemed to flow through my hands and I played for about 45 minutes. As I played, the Korean lady exclaimed: "What's that smell?" "I don't have anything in here that smells like that!"Deborah began to explain it was most likely the fragrance of the Lord's Presence that was filling the room. Some have experience beautiful aromas in His Presence and surely He was in that room as I played and we sang and worshiped. The owner couldn't get over that smell being in her house, although I, personally, did not smell it like the others.

A couple of days later, she called to tell me their asking price. Then she added, "And that fragrance has been in this room, ever since you were here and played." Then she exclaimed: " And it's getting stronger while we're talking!"

After much prayer, I did not feel that was my piano, as it seemed they were under some financial straights to sell it and I knew she really wanted it. In fact, she asked if I would be willing to give her some lessons. I felt the Lord saying HE wanted me to have a brand new piano. Not someody else's. It has to be NEW for the NEW SOUND.

In January and February, I'd think about pianos and keep giving it to the Lord. I didn't know where to look, what to get, how much, when, if and so forth.

In February, I was part of the Quantum Glory conference in Coeur d Alene and then on February 21, I flew to Baltimore for the Washington, DC trip. I hadn't really had time or allowed myself to think about pianos too much. I just kept staring at that corner and cornering anyone I could to agree with me for a miracle piano and provision for it. I needed to find it, however. just the right one.
_________________________

I returned home from Washington, DC on March 5. My earlier email detailed the trip and the Lord's anointing on me for governmental intercession and declaration. The very next day, Tues, March 6, I decided to drive to Coeur 'd Alene to do some errands and also get some groceries at the Costco store. I had company coming in from North Carolina and wanted to restock some things, plus I just love shopping at Costco. Normally, I go to the Spokane store, but that morning I needed to go into CdA store. As I pulled up to the cross street of where I'd come in, I realized I was on Government Way.

It is a main thoroughfare thru' CdA. SUDDENLY, it came to me that someone had told me there was a music store off Government Way. So instead of pulling into Costco at that corner, I decided spur of the moment to drive up the street and see if I could find the store. It turned out to be about 2 miles north of Costco. I love music stores anyway, and when I walked in, I saw several beautiful Yamaha grand pianos. The manager of the store, Jeff, greeted me. I told him I was "just looking" at them and had recently moved to the area. Then he asked me something strange. "Do you teach?" "Well, I used to", I commented. He then preceded to tell me and invite me to an Appreciation Luncheon for area piano teachers that would be held three days later on that Friday at the Coeur d Alene Inn Resort. It is one of the most beautiful places to eat and stay in CdA.

At this point, I hadn't even sat down and played a piano. He just seemed real excited that he could invite me to the luncheon which they had never sponsored before, but "just so happened" to be doing that Friday, and I'd "just so happened" to drive 2 miles up Government Way to find his store and had never been in it in my life. All that came to me SUDDENLY at the LIGHT on GOVERNMENT WAY. How about messages in code??

He also told me that they had many teachers come to their store to give lessons. Plus, they "just so happened" to have room for one more teacher and he was basically offering it to me. I explained to him that I had not taught for several years, but had much earlier in my life for about 25 years and then mostly beginner and intermediate lessons and also voice lessons. I told him I'd be more interested in teaching adults about improvising and composition. "Oh, we need a teacher like that!", he said. I left the store that day without much interest in any one piano, but strangely excited about the piano teacher's luncheon on Friday.

When I got there, I was warmly greeted, and felt so comfortable within the group of about 12-15 area teachers. It reminded me of my old school days as I went back to college in 1994-95 to finish my degree. I loved being in college for those 4 semesters and think I'd be a perpetual student if I could. I graduated from Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, SD with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and emphasis in music. However, 12 years later, I hardly remember any theory or music history, but I have to remember to pay on my student loan. Doesn't seem quite fair to forget what you learned, and still have to pay for it.

At the luncheon, they showcased a new Roland recording system that you can place on top of your piano or mic into it directly, or plug into a keyboard and record and burn a cd on the spot. It was a dream machine. It is relatively new and user friendly. It was being presented to the teachers for recitals and contest entries. Their Anniversary sale price was $700. I was more than interested in it and wanted to check it out further.

After the luncheon, Jeff, the manager of the music store in CdA asked if I'd be willing to follow him to their downtown Spokane store to look at their pianos. He had one in particular in mind for me he thought I'd like. When we got to the showroom, I was immediately drawn to a beautiful black satin finish grand piano made by Samick and called Solmer and Son. When I sat down to pay, my fingers just glided across the keys so easily and I loved the deep rich sound of the grand. It reminded me greatly of the sound and feel of the Steinway piano I'd played at the mall. The style and classic design were also similar and were it not for the name on the front, the feel, sound and quality were much the same.

The price tag however was drastically different. The 6' 2" Steinway sold for $65,000. The sale price on the Solmer and Son was $15,500. A HUGE difference. I played for quite awhile and Jeff just watched me. He was quite impressed with my playing and decided I'd really make a good teacher. After awhile, he sighed. "I wouldn't offer this to just anyone, but if you're really interested in this piano and buy it, I'll throw in the Roland recording system as part of the deal". Wow! That had been one of my secret petitions to the Lord. He later said: "I have a selfish reason. I can see you making CD's's and if you do, I can sell them at my store and tell people, '

She did this on one of our pianos and with our recording system'. By the time I left the store, I was inwardly convinced this would be the perfect piano for the price. I didn't mention earlier that when I just so happened to walk in their store on Government Way the very next day after a Governmental Intercessory Prayer trip, I'd walked in on their 45th Anniversary Sale. The original price tag was $18,000. The sale price is $15,500. AND because of the sale, they were giving free delivery.

On Monday, Jeff called apologetically. A couple had come into the Spokane store that very morning and insisted on buying the piano I'd played on. They were getting it for their church. He explained they could order another one and have it in about 2 weeks. I was abit mystified about it until I felt the Lord showed me two things:

1. I had left an anointing on the piano that must have irresistibly drawn the couple to it and it was going to their church. How perfect.

2. The piano I was to get had to come from the CdA store on Government Way and not from the Spokane store. Plus, it would be Brand New, just out of the box.

I went back to the CdA store to get a mat with a drawing of a 6' grand piano to lay out in my front room. Sure enough, it would fit perfectly. It does take up a lot of space, but what could be more worthy of taking up space than a concert grand?

I had to make a decision by March 17 as that was the end of their Anniversary Sale and I wanted to honor their deadline. I prayed all week, kneeling on that mat and altering between sheer delight at the thought of my own piano and sheer terror at the thoughts of payments and financing. By Saturday morning, I knew it was the right piano for the right price. Everything was falling into place. Not only was the piano right, but I was being given access to an established network of teachers and Jeff had already signed me up. He said: If you buy a piano, we can send you enough students to make your payments. The going rate at that store is $15 for ½ hour lessons. I can do that.

I found out later the store is owned by a Christian gentlemen who used to attend the church at Gateway years ago when it was still Assembly of God. The leadership at Gateway know him well and he is a widely respected businessman with a reputation for honorability. I also found out that Jeff, the manager, is Jehovah's Witness. However, I sensed such a longing in him when I'd play. He got wide-eyed and was moved by the music. He has given me great favor and knows something is "different" about me. He is hungry for the Lord and I've already salted my conversations with him.

SO, on Saturday, I met Jeff at the store at closing. He had been at the fairgrounds at a local Home Show all day and met me afterwards. I wanted to get the deal on paper so I'd be at peace over the weekend and didn't want to ask him to stretch the deadline for me. It was time. The lights were all green for go and then later I even realized it was St Patrick's Day. a real green day! Plus I realized later it was March. 17th. I've had the #17 come up over and over again since moving to Liberty Lake after 17 months of living on the road and having my things in storage. Every Biblical number book calls it the number for VICTORY!!!
_____________________________________

Within the last two months, I received two separate checks marked as seed for a new piano. One check for $500 and one for $100, both from SD friends! So with great joy and confidence that God is able, I put down $600 as a deposit to hold the piano and the price. It is on order and will be coming in about 10 days. It is currently set up as a 'lay-a-way'. It is my hope and dream to have enough money come in to either fully pay for the piano or lower the financed price. I have 4 months to keep it on lay-a-way, but I'm sure hoping it doesn't' take that long.

As I was making out my check, I mentioned to Jeff I'd be interested in an Easy Play Classics book. He went to the racks to bring back a lovely book that costs about $25. I looked at it and said I'd be interested later. He decided to just throw it in on the deal as well. Then, he said: "I need to close the store, I keep giving you things".

It was closing time as well, but I had to laugh. He really couldn't seem to stop giving the things to me the Lord had put in my heart and I'd been secretly wondering: do this, Lord, and I know this is the right deal and piano.

Before I left the store, I gave him one of my Mysteries CD's and also gave him the 5½ minute demo I'd made at the Steinway store. He was so impressed. He said: "I could see us playing this here over the intercom in the store and we could sell your CD' s right here". I couldn't have asked for more favor. All on Government Way in Coeur d Alene.

I trust you have read and share my joy and excitement at a dream about to come true. Many of you have exhorted me to record more CD's and agreed with me for a miracle of provision for a piano. I'm also believing in the days ahead for a full restoration of my voice. That too I'll be able to record right in my front room on that Roland system. My keyboard will also be compatible as it is a Roland and I look forward to using both instruments together.

I know many of you have generous hearts and would like to have a KEY opportunity to invest in this beautiful concert grand. If you remember, I based my trip to Washington, DC on Isaiah 22:22. It talks about the KEY of the House of David. It is the KEY to worship. To those of you who know music, we play in KEYS. The KEY of C or F or a minor. Many feel that certain KEYS and songs unlock certain anointings for healing, worship, and warfare. The KEYS of music open the doors in the Spirit for angelic visitation. Be sure to see my light pictures.

All gifts are tax deductible and greatly cherished and appreciated. If you are not presently able, but want to send a gift amount monthly or stretch it out, that is appreciated as well.
You can call me on my phone: 509-599-0433 or cell: 605-376-0033 if you'd like. All checks can be sent to me at 21200 E Country Vista Dr #L-104, Liberty Lake, WA 99019. If you'd like to use a Visa or Master Card that is available as well.

To those who give any amount marked for the piano, I will keep records and send you my very first piano CD as a complimentary thank you. To those who can give larger amounts of $100 or more, I will be delighted to send you my next CD, plus a copy of Akiane's autographed book. For larger amounts of $500, $1000, or more, I'll be your friend for life!!

My great concern is that you see this as an investment in the kingdom of God and know I'm not just asking you to pay for my piano. I want you have as much joy in giving to it as I will have in receiving it and putting the money into a beautiful instrument of praise and worship to our marvelous, wonderful , glorious Lord and Savior.

To the GLORY of HIS GRACE, I remain your friend and servant.

Love to all, Carla

PS: Don't forget to request your free copy of the 5½ minute demo of my playing on that beautiful Steinway grand. I'd love to send it to you and you can check me out. :)

Washington DC Update - March 15, 2007

2007-11-12T10:29:00.000-08:00

Dearest Friends,

Blessings and greetings to you once again from Liberty Lake, WA! I arrived back safely from my 12 day journey to the east coast. It was one of the most remarkable trips I've ever taken in all my prophetic travels. It seemed we moved with an uncanny sense of precision yet without being time conscious. We just seemed to flow by the Spirit with an ease and confidence getting us to the right place at the right time and with the right people. I'd like to recap the trip for you as my earlier email only focused on our strategic 2-22 day in Washington, DC.

First of all, I'd like to acknowledge and thank two very gracious and delightful ladies who hosted me, Gerri Gable and Judy Wynne, both residing in Calvert Country of the southern Maryland peninsula between the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay. Gerri and Judy made the trip memorable with their special touches of kindness and generosity. Judy was my hostess and is an excellent cook and makes really good coffee too. I love it when I stay with good coffee "makers". We had more fun than should be legal. Both of them are on the board of Wade Taylor Ministries. I was truly honored by Wade's participation in our 2-22 prayer day at the Washington Monument. If you did not get my account of that amazing day, be sure and email me for it. It is too long to repeat here, but don't miss it. Also be sure and go to Wade's website: www.wadetaylor.org.

I didn't get a chance to tell you of another extraordinary occurrence that made the trip outstanding. The evening before I was to fly out, John and Ruth Filler, who co-lead Gateway Christian Fellowship in Coeur D Alene, along with Mike and Kari Browning, decided to let me take their beautiful gemstone with me. It is the color of amethyst and was given to them by Terry and Geri Copper. It is #5 and was dropped by an angel in the front yard of the Coppers' house. Terry saw the angel drop 5 gemstones on the ground last June. If you don't know about this amazing sign and wonder that has been happening, go to the church website: www.thegatewayintl.org.

When John put it in my hand, I was filled with such a sense of awe and wonderment. Not just concerning the stone, but because they trusted me with this precious treasure, and I realized what a blessing it would be to so many who had just heard about it and would never be able to come to CdA. So that very beautiful gemstone from heaven was in my coat pocket as I circled the Washington monument on 2-22. I felt the weight and responsibility of it and thankfully, it didn't set off any alarms at airport security.

On Friday, Feb 23, following our powerful day at the monument, Judy, Gerri, and I drove to Ashland, VA to spend the last weekend of winter camp meeting. It was a delight to show the gemstone to Dr Jane Lowder, who is the camp director and Ruth Heflin's desired successor. While there I was able to share in two of the meetings concerning the gemstones and show it to many of the people. While Ruth was alive, she prophesied about gemstones coming. I have been in meetings in the past when small gems would drop out of the heavens as we worshiped in the Glory of His Presence.

However, like many, I was totally unprepared for the size of the 50 karat gemstones that came to Coeur d Alene. Ruth Heflin was known for her awe and ready acceptance of the gold dust when it first manifested in 1998 and 1999 and eventually she "sparkled" as she worshipped and preached. Even tho' it was controversial, she stood firm that it was a sign and wonder of the coming Glory. She often spoke of gemstones.

Lately, there have been occasions when I've sensed her pleasure and presence from that great cloud of witnesses peering into the things we are seeing and that they longed and hoped for. We are indeed a privileged and chosen generation. Ruth also prophesied that after manifestations of gemstones, we would begin to see the creative miracles of body parts and limbs being restored to people. We are truly yearning for such a day and hour. Because of their great love and admiration for Ruth Heflin, the leadership at Gateway allowed me to represent them and share the wonders of the gemstones at the campground. What a joy!!!

While at the camp, Jane Lowder gave me a prophetic word that she saw me running through a wide open door. She also said it was time that waters of different streams flowed into one river. Hmmm. She said the door had not been opened before, but now it was. As I sat in my seat pondering the word, I felt the Lord impress me He was going to open Washington, DC up to me in a surprising way. Jane had no way of knowing I'd based my trip on Isaiah 22:22 and Rev 3:7 which both speak of keys and opening doors and shutting doors. Since I didn't go out there with thoughts of return trips, I hadn't anticipated an effectual larger door.

On Monday, February 26, Judy, Gerri, and myself drove to Charlottesville, VA to spend the afternoon with my amazing friend, Diane B. She is a counselor with the school system and moved there last summer. Diane has a great love for our country and the history of our nation. She was drawn there partly due to her interest in the history of Lewis and Clark, who reported in to President Thomas Jefferson to receive their rewards for their epic journey and expedition. We were able to tour the beautiful home of Monticello and see the exquisite early American furnishings and observe their way of life.

As we stood on the hillside estate overlooking the beautiful valley as Thomas Jefferson, the man who penned the Declaration of Independence, must have done before us, we read from the Scriptures and declared the return of our nation back to the Godly principles desired by our founding fathers.

Tuesday was a welcomed day of rest and reflection. I took a long nap. So much fun and excitement can wear you out.

On Wednesday, we drove to Berlin, MD near Ocean City, to spend the afternoon and evening with a marvelous group of spiritually hungry people who gathered at "Redemption Depot", a beautifully decorated Glory barn, belonging to Randy and Barbara Walter. This talented couple have built their home and depot out of throw away lumber and furnishings. Barbara has an amazing gift of painting and their property is full of treasures and nooks and crannies to just sit and marvel at what they have done.

Randy is the managing editor of a regional Christian newspaper called "The Manna". He had just written an article concerning "Noblesse Oblige". It is the French term meaning nobility obligates and is an expression for the people of high social position to behave honorably and morally, to assume civic responsibility, even at personal sacrifice. WOW!! Could we use some of that in this country or what!!!

He commented that George Washington did not want to be president. After the revolution, he simply wanted to return to Mt Vernon and live a normal life. However, it was with his sense of duty and 'noblesse oblige' that he consented to become our first president. How refreshing. I wonder how his political campaign would have looked.

Randy also wrote an excellent article about the new George Washington dollar coin that just so happened to come out in February. The day before I flew out of Spokane, I attended a minister's luncheon in north Spokane. I had been asked to share briefly about my coming trip. Someone "just so happened" to put a new dollar coin in the offering. When they counted the offering, my friend, Chip, said: " I just knew I was supposed to give it to you to take with you." And so I did. I hadn't even been aware it was coming out. where was I??

I remember gazing at that shiny new coin in my hand with the wonderment of the Lord's marvelous ways of confirming and affirming our steps. I had it with me at all times. Another treasure. One of the things that Randy said is that "In God We Trust" in on the rim of the coin and put there to remind us we are hedged in and bordered by our God. He may not be welcomed in some political circles, but HE IS still with us and He still loves America.

On Thursday, I had the joy of being reunited with a delightful group of ladies I first met in March 2000 in Milford, DL. We had an awesome day together sharing about the Lord. I was blessed to show them the gemstone, let them hold it, and get some pictures. One of my first water places was at the Atlantic Ocean at Lewes, DL. It was the first city in the first state, Delaware.

I went there three years in a row and had not been back since 2002. My special thanks to Teresa M who hosted the meeting and has been a faithful friend and supporter. She is an excellent prophetic writer and you can access her website at: www.suppingwithgod.com . I first went to Delaware in 2000 because I met a sweet lady named Janice B who when hearing I had not yet been to Delaware, handed me a map of her state when I was leaving the camp at Ashland.

You know someone is giving you a serious invitation when they give you your own map. I've traveled for many years and it's my only recollection of that ever happening.

On Friday, we drove back to Judy's home after staying 3 days at the beautiful condo home belonging to Gerri and her husband. We stopped to get some pictures of the powerful rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean shore at Ocean City, MD before heading inland.

Saturday morning, we left early to attend the monthly meeting held by Wade Taylor in the DC area. He speaks at a church in Oakton, VA, right off the DC beltway. It seemed odd at times to be in DC, VA, and MD in minutes, traffic permitting, of course. Many come from the surrounding area and also Pennsylvania.

Wade had made time for me to share about the gemstones and I offered to let the people see it after the service. He led us in a beautiful time of communion and his message was excellent. At the end, people began to make their way toward me to see the gemstone. I had not planned on praying for anyone, but as I watched their faces light up with the wonder of it, I couldn't help but offer a prayer of blessing to them. Suddenly the spirit of prophecy began to flow and as I cupped my hand over theirs holding the gemstone, they began to go limp and fall under the spirit.

I quickly learned to retrieve the gemstone before praying for them. The leadership gave me liberty to minister to the people and I found myself praying for one after another, after another. Many of them were deeply moved to tears at the wonder of a heavenly manifestation and it brought great hope and stirred up dreams and expectations that it can happen there as well.
One of the men who came up for prayer asked me if I'd be willing to come to a congressional office. Of course, I said I would. He handed me his card, which I didn't even have time to look at. Later in the day, I showed it to Judy, wondering if she knew the man. It turns out he is the administrative assistant for Todd Tiahart of Kansas.

I don't know Rep Tiahart, but I have known his parents, Wilber and Marcine, in Meckling, SD for many years. He had moved to Kansas and been elected to office from there. I had heard them talk about their son in Congress, but would never have thought I'd be invited to his offices. The man I met said there were many Christians on staff, and I hope to go there on another trip. I also received invitations to Gettysburg, PA, Philadelphia, PA and Long Island, NY. The Long Island invitation came from a lovely new friend, Irene, I met at Wade's meeting. She has invited me to speak at a ladies conference she will be hosting in August. We have enjoyed some delightful conversation and I adore her accent.

Sunday afternoon was a special day with Judy, Gerri, and Joan as we drove to the Chesapeake Bay at North Beach, MD. There we shivered in the cold and prayed at the waters. I had brought a small bottle of the gathered waters with me and poured it all out there at that beautiful family resort area. Judy said later when she saw I was going to give it all, that the Spirit of the Lord rose up through her powerfully. Many wonderful prophetic words have been spoken over the east coast. Gerri was given an awesome vision of waves of revival filling the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. We simply agree with the prophetic words and desires of the Lord's heart for these areas. So many precious saints are standing for revival. Let's stand with them.

We had barely got back to the house, when we got a call from my friend, Bert Crevier, formerly of Elkton, SD. He is the one who gave me the dirt from 4 places involving George Washington on 2-22-02 that we used in prayer and intercession at George, WA and Vantage, WA on 2-22-05. I even had a little bit left to take to the Washington monument with me on 2-22-07. Bert had been on call as he had been asked to help with the impending funeral arrangements of then dying Papa Jim Shaw, the husband of Sis Gwen Shaw of Endtime Handmaidens.

Bert and I had talked earlier in the week, hoping to get together to visit, but he was working and anticipating an any minute call to fly to Arkansas. When we talked on Sunday afternoon, he said Papa Jim was still hanging on and it would work well to meet him in north Baltimore that evening. So we hurried out the door for the hour drive. I had really wanted Judy and Gerri to meet Bert and the Lord gave us kairos moments. We had such a good time sharing the Lord and hearing of Bert's visitations to heaven, that we talked late and shut the restaurant down. When we left that night, we all knew the Lord had granted us a precious divine appointment.

As we chatted on the way home to Judy's house, I commented I felt the Lord had kept Papa Jim alive so we'd have that opportune time with Bert, and I wouldn't be surprised if he passed on soon. Sure enough, a call came from Bert the next morning that Papa Jim had passed away around 6:00 am that very morning. I flew out that evening, March 5. It's all about timing.
It is difficult to describe a trip of the magnitude and importance that this one seemed to have. I know I came back with that full satisfied feeling like you'd eaten a really good meal. Both Judy and Gerri commented on the uniqueness of our time flowing as we seemed to go comfortably from one thing to the next. I think it was a new adventure for them as well.

My sincere thanks to those of you who sowed into this trip. We are in this together. Even tho' I may be the one going, you are doing the sending, supporting, and praying. And I am very grateful for those on the other end like Judy and Gerri who invite, host, drive, and care for personal needs. They pampered me and I loved it. That doesn't happen often.

Your ongoing financial and prayer support is cherished, needed, and appreciated. Remember I can take Visa and Mastercard or help set up a donation schedule if you'd like. All gifts are tax deductible. I'm once again offering Akiane's books, autographed for a $100 donation. They are beautiful and an excellent gift or tool for witnessing to the reality of heaven. They had been out of print, recently reprinted, and now available again.

Let us continue to stand together for this nation in prayer. I'm grieved by those with shrill cries for judgement on America. Recently when I was visiting with a friend about this sometimes arrogant attitude, I heard myself say: "We don't need to burn the house down, just because it needs cleaning." I once heard this quote: "Don't preach judgement unless you can do it with tears in your eyes. I've never forgotten it. Selah.

In a few days I'll be following up this newsletter with my news about finding a piano. I'm still in the negotiating and praying stage, but I think I've fallen in love and found my instrument. More later.

My love and thanks to the finest people I know. YOU!!

Reporting in from Washington, DC on 2-22 - February 23, 2007

2007-11-12T10:08:00.000-08:00

Dearest Friends and Intercessors,

WOW!!!!!! What an awesome day and sense of God's presence and pleasureas I stepped foot into Washington, DC today on 2-22 -07. I wasoverwhelmed with the sense of destiny and purpose and the great lovethe Father has for this country. It was a day to honor GeorgeWashington, the father of our country, and our Heavenly Father, theFather of our heavenly country and home.

I want to give you a report on 2-22 about this historical day.

His-story.

Leading up to my flight yesterday, I was involved with an absolutelywonderful conference in Coeur D Alene, ID from 2-12 to 2-15. It wasfilled with excellent speakers and the spirit of excellence was upon the wonderful staff and workers of Gateway who tirelessly and selflessly served and accommodated over 600 registered guests from across America and South Africa.

The 2-12 date was set specificallyto mark the beginning date of the Latter Rain Revival that started on 2-12, 1948. The gathering of people was historical and the sounds of worship, laughter, and fellowship filled the conference room and hallways. For me, it was glorious to see wonderful friends from NC, WI, SD, ID and all over. The nights were late, and the meetings glorious.

I was blessed with my long time friend, Brenda Rogers, coming to stay with me. She currently lives in Cinninati, OH. Brenda and I met in April, 1998 at Ruth Helfin's house in Jerusalem. She's been with me on several adventures and we had a wonderful time catching up and sharing the things of the Lord. Often we'd talk about something, and within hours, it would be the content of one of the speakers. You'd have thought I'd had their notes.

I had two days to ready for this trip to Washington, DC. On Monday morning, I woke up quite sick and extremely dizzy. I had not slept well, was fighting a cold, and my ears evidently were filling with some fluid. I woke in the night, with my head spinning and that OH, NO! sick feeling.

When I got up, I was so dizzy I had to hang onto the walls. It seemed unlikely I'd catch anything that quick, and assumed it might be a spiritual attack. I fought nausea and dizziness all morning, but determined to press thru and attended a ministers luncheon in north Spokane. Sometimes, you just gotta go and do, no matter how rotten you think you feel. As I pressed, I felt better, but still queasy and uneasy.

That night I was dizzy again the minute my head hit the pillow. It reminded me of two episodes I've had with vertigo, but both of those were coming off extended airplane rides. I hadn't even boarded the plane yet. I woke dizzy on Tuesday morning, but my fierce determination to get ready, pack, and get to Washington, DC broke the nausea and I just kept going and didn't stop.

That night I drove to northern Spokane to stay a few hours with my amazing friend, Chip, who actually OFFERS to take me to the airport an early hours and keep my van. I'm so blessed by her servant's heart. This flight was early. We left herhouse at 3:30 am to get to the airport by 4:00 am and board the plane at 5:00 am. Now you know why I got that wonderful price of $222 for a roundtrip from Spokane to Baltimore. I barely slept that night, but the Lord's strength and grace enabled me to just keep on. I noticed, however, when I laid down at Chip's house for a few hours, thedizziness was GONE.

My special friends, Judy and Gerri, who work with Wade Taylor's ministry picked me up at the airport. My luggage seems to take forever coming off the line. I do think it must have been the last 2 pieces, BUT, they did come and weren't lost. To avoid some traffic, we stopped to eat and catch up. I was feeling pretty weak and tired, but very happy to have arrived safely in Baltimore.

The excitement and anticipation of this day ignited and excited me enough to throw off the weariness. I went to bed early and slept amazingly well, waking up refreshed and eager for the day's adventure. To the glory of HIS grace, there have been no further attacks of dizziness or nausea. I am still fighting some cold symtoms, but believe they will go soon too. Have to.

I've taken the trouble of telling you about it to encourage you and let you know how often the enemy comes with sickness and wearinessto get us to focus on symtoms and fears, instead of pressing thru itand refusing entry. He likes to knock on your door and mine withall kinds of stuff. We are learning to shut the door on our adversary and open the door to the Lord to bring the grace, strength, and stamina we need. Isaiah 22:22 offers us the key.

This morning I awake amazingly refreshed with the joy of the Lord and what I call the compelling and propelling Spirit of the Lord carrying us into the day's assignment.

We arrived in Washington, DC about 11:00, going to the apartment of Wade Taylor, who lives about 5 blocks from the capitol. I caught sight of the capital as we drove down his street and had to pinch myself Iwas really there and despite the tremendous adversity, I had prevailed and was actually going to place my foot in DC on 2-22.

There were 5 of us. The number 5, which means grace, was before us all day. We parked on 5th avenue. Later, we caught a cab and the last 3 numbers were 555. The 5 of us, Wade Taylor - Gerri, an intercessor - Judy, Wade's secretary - Joan, another intercessor, and myself gathered in Wade's front room to pray about the day.

I was able to share the story of my going to the town of George, Washington, and Vantage, Washington, on 2-22-05. Also the story of the dirt that had been given to me from 4 places regarding George Washington. You may remember it was given to me on 2-22-05. At 12:22, we prayed loudly in the spirit and released the sound of worship and intercession.

Afterwards, we caught a cab to the Washington monument. It was the main place I felt to pray. The day was clear and the temperature around 50. Since the east coast had experienced some severe weather and ice storms recently, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was elated when the skies were clear blue and the temperature pleasant. It was a wonderful sign of an open heaven and the sun shining on us felt so good.

While at Wade's and in prayer, suddenly the skies clouded over, and in the midst of our praying andloud proclamation, it thundered. Inside, I was thinking oh, no. That means rain.

BUT, within minutes, the skies cleared once again. We were led to scripture regarding the voice of the Lord thundering and were struck (pardon the pun) with the thought of HIS voice thundering approval at our prayers and efforts. I was reminded of the day that Jesus was baptized and the VOICE of theFather came, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased".

Most didn't hear the voice, for SOME said it only thundered. We knew HIS VOICE was in the thunder and it only thundered once. The timing of it was just 2 - 2 - 2 perfect.

It has been nearly 10 years since I have been near the capital. As I mentioned in my last newsletter, I tended to avoid DC and get around it as quick as possible when traveling in the area.

Today, the Lord led me into the heart of city and as we approached the Washington monument, I went with a sure-footedness and confidence I was indeed in the right place and at the right time.

We were planning to be at the monument to say a monumental prayerat 2:22. The wind was picking up as we walked, but the temperatures still pleasant. As we entered the circle of 50 flags surrending the monument the wind increased drastically and nearly blew us over.

It was uncanny. We just kept walking and circling the monument. Eventually, I felt to take some of the water I'd brought with me that encompasses all my travels for the last 7 years and anoint the corners of the monument. It seemed the direction of what we were to do only happened as we walked and then needed action could be applied. We waited within that very windy circle for the 2:22 moment.

Now to bring in another amazing story.

While staying Moravian Falls last year, the Lord connected me to a lovely family, Brett and Michelle Rademacher, and their 5 beautiful children. Brett was one of the businessmen I first met in June 2005 and knew the Lord was connecting us for kingdom purposes and also because of Brett'sinterest in my water story. Brett and Michelle are both originally fromSpokane, altho they have lived away for many years and currently reside in Moravian Falls, NC. In December, Brett and Michelle had made a trip toSpokane and CdA and are now praying and considering moving back to the area.

Brett had also decided to come to the Quantum Gllory conference inCdA on 2-12 to 2-15. While at the conference, exactly one week agotoday, on 2-15, several of us were sitting around a table talking and sharing the amazing workings of the Lord and knowing we were being divinely connected for kingdom purpose and on purpose. They asked me about my coming trip to DC with intentions to pray with me.

As I was sharing, Brett's wife, Michelle, who was still in North Carolina, text messaged Brett that the Lord had spoken to her. She felt they were to go as a family to Washington, DC to pray at the Washington monument, the FTC buillding and the Potomac River. They knew they were to meet me at the Washington memorial today on 2-22. We hadn't talked about exactly what time to meet, but Brett and Michelle drove up yesterday from Moravian Falls and Brett said it was a "no brainer" that I'd surely want to be there at 2:22. So they just showed up and there we were. It was some kinda exciting!!

At precisely 2:22, Rachel, their 14 year daughter, a beautiful young girl with the touch of God on her life, lifted the shofar and blew it towards the monument. Rachel is exceptionally anointed to blow a shofar and blow it well. It seemed, however, very difficult for her and the wind was ferocious. However, the sound went forth. Later I realized the enemy really didn't want that sounded there and tried to muffle the sound and effect. However, the sound still went out and those acts of obedience, sacrifice, and faith bring the equation into our favor. We took some great pictures which I'll try to send at a later date.

Judy felt I should go to the reflection pond. As we walked across the field, I was struck with how many people have gathered on that lawn an how much prayer as gone forth. Earlier while praying with Wade I was touched with the discouragement of intercessors and Christians in DC who have prayed so faithfully and yet, things seem to going the opposite direction. I'm so grateful for each person who has ever stepped foot in Washington, DC with a prayer on their lips and love in their hearts for America.

Near the reflection pool is the World War II memorial. Also the columns of stone with each state chiseled in the stone. I stood at several states to get my picture taken in that hair raising wind. It was definitely not a good hair day.

Because the pool has been drained for the winter, I was able literally to step into the pool and walk toward the center. There I poured out the waters of our nation as a prophetic act and declaration. I had not thought of that or considered it earlier. It seemed the day flowed easily and spontaneous just as we walked.

I'd felt the check of the Lord not to be concerned with what to do... just get there and BE THERE. The directions came on the spot as we walked and prayed. While walking in the drained pool area, I couldn't help but pick up 2 nickels I found. On the 2-22 day, it was double grace. It was right after that we hailed a taxi and the last 3 digits were 555. Just more signs, but arent' they fun??

Once our mission was accomplished we went to a wonderful deli to eat together and share our thoughts of the day. Afterwards we went back to Wade's apartment to gather for prayer. I asked if we could take communion together.

For those of you who do not know Wade Taylor, please go to his website: wadetaylor.com. Wade is a true general of intercession. He is in his 80's and still young in heart and appearance. He has been a contributing author to Morning Star Ministries and edited his own magazine, called The Banner.

Wade was the president of Pinecrest Bible School in Salisbury, NY for many years. He now resides in Washington, DC to walk the streets, pray, and be a presence in the city. He continues to write and speak across the country. Wade had written two wonderful books: The Secret of the Stairs and Waterspouts of Glory.

Some time back Morning Star did an interesting article about Wade as he takes communion every day; has done so for many years and appears to have stopped and slowed the aging process and looks much younger than his 80 something years.

I felt very honored indeed to have had Wade Taylor set aside his day for us to come and pray together. It was another honor to have him serve communion to the 5 of us. And to top off a beautiful day, he prayed for me an impartation of what he has and who he is. I felt the heart of a true father in the faith and I was greatly blessed to have spent the day with him and 3 other dedicated intercessors who co-laborer in the kingdom.

Tomorrow, Judy, Gerri, and I will be driving to Ashland, VA to spend the last 3 days of winter campmeeting. It will be a joy to go "home" to the place where I was mentored and ordained nearly 10 years ago. Altho' Ruth Heflin is in glory today, I felt her pleasure today as we prayed over the city she loved so much. Ruth surely carried a mantle of governmental intercession and I know she would have been pleased at our efforts today.

On Monday, I'll be blessed to connect with my amazing friend, Diane B who moved last summer to Charlotteville, VA. Diane is a wonderful intercession and historian. She will take us to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. It is after all, President's month. Diane has great insight into Lewis and Clark and has also gone on many prayer journeys.

Next Wednesday, I'm looking forward to going back to Ocean City,MD, where I prayed with intercessors the past 2 years at the Atlantic Ocean. An amazing couple named Randy and Barbara Walters operate Shiloh Ministries there and their home is a delight to behold. Barbara is a very gifted artist and has the most beautiful murals in their worship barn.

On Thursday, I'm thrilled to be going back to Milford, DL. I've had long time friends there and it was one of my original water places in March, 2000. I'm always amazed at the deep abiding friendships that remain even tho time and distance come between us. We just pick up where we left off.

On March 3, I'll be attending a meeting that Wade Taylor will be speaking at in northern Virginia. Some of the other days and dates are still to be filled in, but when the Lord is ordering your steps, you get quite astonished at where you go and what you do and who you meet.
Beloved, keep me in your prayers and hearts for the next 2 weeks. These are strategic days and connections. It is my joy to link hands and hearts across America from "sea to shining sea". You are not left out... you're in on this 2.

Your faithfulness in prayer, financial support, and friendship make it possible for me to go. And when I do, I carry you with me in heart and spirit. May you continue to be blessed and encouraged that God is in control and His hand is still on America, still on His people, and still on you.

I'm 2 - 2- 2 Blessed to know each and every one of you!!!

With love and joy, reporting in from Washington, DC...

Up and Coming - February 6, 2007

SELAH MINISTRIES
Carla Reed, Minister

Liberty Lake, WA

Dearest Friends,

Blessings and greetings from Washington!!! I'm reminded of how often I've had to clarify I live in "Washington State" as so many instantly think of Washington, DC. Especially when I'm on the east coast. Like many things, it depends on your locality and perspective, and of course, what is closest to you in your thinking.

I have several very important things to share with you. I'm preparing to fly into Baltimore, MD on February 21. This will position me to be in Washington, DC on Feb 2-22, George Washington's birthday.

Many of you who have followed my "clues and twos" know that Isaiah 22:22 has been a strategic scripture for the intercessors all over America. It began several years ago with the focus on having the keys to intercession. Many have been faithful to pray for our nation despite the overwhelming opposition and continued erosion of national values and morals.

"And the key of the house of David, I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open, and no one shall shut, he shall shut, and no one shall open".. Is 22:22.

This verse is repeated in Rev 3:7 -"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write: These are the words of the HOLY ONE, the TRUE ONE, HE WHO has the key of David, Who opens and no one shall shut, Who shuts and no one shall open."I know your works and what you are doing. SEE! I have set before you a door wide open, which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word an guarded My message, and have not denied my Name."

It seems the Lord is setting before me an open door and a key to be in Washington, D.C. on 2-22-07. I've been thinking of an east coast trip for several months. I wanted to be able to attend part of winter camp meeting in Ashland, VA in February. However, I wasn't overly eager to be flying across the country again. As I was writing my last newsletter, the Lord began to show me this trip was not just about meetings or Ashland, but a strategic KEY time to be in Washington, DC and it MUST BE on 2-22.

Let me go back a ways. it's a great story, so bear with me.

Some of you may remember a unique day of prophetic and key intercession that occurred in Washington "state" on 2-22-05. There had been much turmoil in the state and animosity over the Nov '04 governors election. A republican man had been narrowly elected. The democrats demanded a recount. Some new votes were added, and he still won. They demanded another recount. This time officials added in about 700 Seattle votes that had not been counted the first 2 times. With this they overturned the election and gave it to a woman democrat who is our current governor. There was so much animosity that there was talk of splitting the state in half and having the 51st state. The east side is mostly agricultural and conservative and the west side which including Seattle, quite liberal.

About this time two years ago, I kept staring out my kitchen window in Moses Lake at a business across the street with a flagpole. The Washington flag flies every day with George Washington's picture on it. I felt the Lord was saying to begin to declare that our state, the namesake of George Washington, align itself with his integrity, vision, and purpose. As I pondered that, I was drawn to his birthday, 2-22.

Then, I remembered I'd been given some dirt by a friend of mine now living in Baltimore. He had moved out there from SD and was specifically led to pray at 4 major sites involving George Washington. The Lord gave him insight by vision and dreams regarding the mantle of leadership and anointing upon our first president's life.

Bert also collected some dirt from these 4 places: the gravesite at Mount Vernon, a site at Valley Forge and one near the Francis Scott Key bridge ( He wrote our National Anthem) and also at a generals grave in Arlington National Cemetery. When visiting with Bert about his unique assignment at the campground in Ashland, VA several years ago, he had given me some of the dirt, and I'd put it in a film canister.

Now months and years later, I had no idea where it was. Bert also "just so happened" to call me about this same time in January, 2005, asking me if I'd be interested in doing some transcribing for him. He has written a small booklet about his visitation to heaven and the insight regarding George Washington and D. C. I asked him to send me his booklet and was amazed at some of the insights he shared that were applicable.

I began to pray and ask the Lord: Where is Bert's dirt?? If there's any way I can find it, please help me. I felt I was to have it for the prayer journey on 2--22-05. I had hoped to take it with me when I went with a local pastor intercessor to the town of George, Washington. Yes, there really is a small town named George. How would you like that for an address??

Also, I felt compelled to pray at the small resort town of Vantage, WA. It is nestled in the beautiful Columbia gorge (not george) and is the link between east and west Washington. A very long bridge crosses the Columbia River on I-90 at Vantage. They also have the "ad-Vantage" of having a wonderful Christian mayor. Brian Stockdale and his family have lived there all their lives and have deep roots and a family heritage and inheritance in the land. Brian has long declared Vantage to be a Christian community and has been faithful many years to be the watchman over this major thoroughfare on I-90 and the KEY bridge connecting east and west.

The very morning of the prayer day, we were set to pray at the town of George, WA at precisely 12:22 and then cross the bridge to Vantage, on the west side of the state to pray at 2:22. The KEY place and bridge. Wouldn't it be amazing to have some dirt from the area near the Francis Scott KEY bridge?

The only thing missing was that dirt. UNTIL, the Lord quickened me to look in a drawer I'd looked in earlier. This time I felt all the way to the back, and sure enough, there was a film canister with dirt in it. And, it was clearly marked with Bert's name and the 4 places from which it had been taken. The other PROFOUND thing was what I'd written on the canister and that was the date it had been given to me: 2-22-02.

I'd had no idea when it was placed in my hands at the campground in Ashland, Virginia, that the Lord would have it hidden and ready for use on 2-22-05. Many times, beloved, things are put in our possession for future use and purpose. We tend to only see the immediate need of things. What a lesson to be learned. Just continue to hold those things that the Lord has given to you. there will be a kairos, set time, opportune time for all things. That is the purpose of treasure to be brought out and admired.

What doubts I'd had about the validity of the assignment vanished when I held that film canister in my hand. Neither would Bert have known that the prayer assignments he'd had months earlier would be part of a prophetic prayer trip across the country in Washington "state". How important it is that we do our part!!!

We had a glorious day of prayer at both locations. We were all profoundly touched at the Lord's guidance to simply pray and declare on 2-22, at 12:22 and 2:22, His Word. I felt the Lord say we were given a minute of time to use the KEY of prayer to SHUT the door of animosity and division and OPEN a door of reconciliation and restoration.

We read Isaiah 22:22 and also the vision, dream and prayer of George Washington that was recorded in a early diary and printed in a Morning Star Journal several years earlier. It seemed fitting to declare over a ravaged state from the election, the vision and prayer of the founding father of our nation and to his namesake.

When crossing the bridge on I-90 into Vantage, I heard a strong voice in my spirit declare: District of Columbia. It was then I saw the parallels as I was crossing the KEY bridge of the Columbia River, and Brian has faithfully declared Vantage to be a Christian district and community.

We prayed near the waters of the Columbia at a water fountain that Brian built. It looks like a cross from all directions and is clearly seen from the interstate. I had also poured out some of the gathered waters from our nation at the bust of George Washington in the town of George, WA.

To finish the prayer time, we sang the Star Spangled Banner, written by Francis Scott KEY. We didn't think to bring a flag, but the Lord provided. One of the men with us "just so happened" to put on a sweatshirt that day with a full print screen of the United States flag. I've never sung to someone's shirt before, but the 'flag was still there'. Oh, the resourcefulness of the Lord.

I'm sharing at great length with you as I feel the reason I'm being called and commissioned by the Lord to go to Washington, DC on 2-22-07 is a continuation of the prayers for Washington "State" and also to declare again the vision of our founding father for Washington, DC. I know it seems like a drop in the bucket, but if we all add our drops, we'll fill that bucket full of prayer and intercession. Now we won't mind being called a drip, will we??

Last week, I decided to go ahead and book my ticket. I knew I'd get a better price the earlier I did. Well, guess what? I got a round trip ticket from Spokane to Baltimore for $222.60. Not sure what the .60 is about, BUT I sure know what the $222 is about. Yesterday at church, my friend, Ruth reminded me that means the cost is $111 each way. Ha.

In March of 2005 after my 2-22 prayer assignment, I ended up moving out of my place in Moses Lake. Joshua has just joined the army and left on March 3, 2005. I put my things in storage for what turned out to be 17 months, and headed to the east coast. I've been back and forth across this country numerous times.

One day last summer I was crying out to the Lord on why I was being stretched so across America. He gave me the word: bi-coastal. Oh, so that was my problem. Some people are bi-polar and I get to be bi-coastal. No wonder I felt split in two and didn't seem to know where I belonged. Since then, He has shown me I belong to HIM and that no matter where I am I'll be at home. We still think of home as geography and He says home is IN HIM.

The summer of 2005, I kept hearing about and desiring to meet Wade Taylor. You can go to his website: www.wadetaylor.org to learn more about this amazing pioneer, Bible School president and now an intercessor living in Washington, DC. I missed seeing him at a conference in North Carolina due to him having some heart trouble, and continued to feel compelled I'd meet him.

About 2 months later in Ocean City, MD, I was greatly blessed to meet Judy, his secretary, and Gerri, his intercessor. Judy loved my Mysteries CD so much she gave me a powerful testimonial and also bought 10 for Wade Taylor's ministry table. How blessed am I?

I've been in touch with Judy and Gerri and they have graciously offered to pick me up at the airport and be my wheels and companions while in Washington, DC, Maryland, and VA. We are tentatively planning to meet with Wade on 2-22 and also see what the Lord would have us do while in our nation's capital. For the past several years, I've skirted around D.C., and not been able to meet some of the KEY intercessors there.

Would you like to be part of a grand adventure??? Here's how.

I really need some KEY intercessors to pray with me and for me. Especially during the next 2 weeks in preparation.

1. Next week, beginning on 2-12, I'll be part of a huge conference in Coeur d Alene, ID. It is called Quantum Glory and has an impressive roster of well-known speakers. Already over 500 have registered and it has the potential of world-wide implications. I would like to tell you more, but we're getting tooooooo long already. Agree with me for a fresh impartation and mantle of glory to carry with me to the east coast. I'd like to go into Washington, DC armed with the Glory of the Lord and armored by that Shield of Glory He promises.

2. Pray for the KEY connections with the intercessors and others and that I will have discernment regarding any distractions or subtractions.

3. Pray for traveling grace and mercies for the round trip flights and also in D. C and area wide traffic.

4. Pray for my family and against any backlash against them or me, emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially.

5. Pray for good health and physical stamina and energy to make the trip and be continually energized and strengthened in the journey.

Secondly, please stand with me financially. These trips are primarily prayer trips and not necessarily given to moneys coming in. I may be able to schedule a meeting or two, but at present, I have not, and may not be able to.

1. If anyone wants to underwrite the cost of my $222 ticket, let me know asap. First one, first to serve.

2. Your contributions to traveling expenses while there and also ongoing monthly household and ministry expense are deeply appreciated and needed. It has to come from somewhere and someone. Any amount is honorable in the kingdom.

If you are part of a church, please pass this along to your leadership as many are interested in giving to prayer needs in Washington, DC. I've available to answer any questions or concerns.
What an opportune, kairos moment is ours!! It is my plan to take a bottle of the waters of our nation with me when I go. You will be going with me as I anticipate pouring out the waters in intercession in KEY places. Be sure and look up Psalms 33:7 ????

Whatever the amount you give, it would be remarkable to include 2.22 or 22.22 or 222.22 somewhere in there. Remember, I can take Visa and Mastercard, altho' checks are preferable, as I lose about 4% on a card. Thanks so much for your help.

In closing, I thank you, dearest friends, for you faithful love, prayers, and financial support. We are in this journey together. Even as a small canister of dirt was given to me exactly three years to the day before it was needed, you can put what is needed into my hands what is needed to complete the circuits and release the power of prayer as we join hands and hearts across America.

It is my joy is to know and love and serve you.

Dearly Loved of the Father,

Blessings and Greetings to you from Liberty Lake!! I'm hoping you've waded through all the Christmas decorations, newsletters, wrapping paper, and bills and are now settled in and anticipating an exciting year!!

The year for me has already started with activity and flourish. I just returned from a 2 week trip to South Dakota and Minnesota. It's not my favorite time to be driving to the midwest, but an opportune time doesn't regard the winter season. Let me back up.

In December, I had an opportunity to spend some special time with my mother. She was staying with my youngest sister, Brenda, in the bay area of California. Last October, my sister had flown back to the midwest to meet her in Omaha, NE and they had driven my mother's car to California so she could have it while she was there. Originally mom had planned to stay until spring. However, she decided she really, really, really wanted to go back home. The area where my sister lives is congested, lots of traffic and lots of minorities. Not easy for an older person who's used to a quiet town of 800 in rural SD. It was a "chance" to do something very special for my mom, drive her home and spend 2 weeks together. Just a coincidental thought. my mom's last name and my maiden name is Chance.

I flew out of Spokane on Christmas morning direct to Oakland, CA at the great one-way fare of $85. The day before would have been hectic, but few like to fly on Christmas Day and usually you can get some great prices. I spent Christmas and 2 days with my sister and her new husband and my mom. Then we drove to Sacramento to see an aunt and uncle, and after that to my home in Liberty Lake. The Lord gave us much grace and beautiful skies and clear roads for the 1000 miles up I-5 thru northern Calif, Oregon, and 1-84.

We stopped in Moses Lake to see my middle son, Scott, and I-90 into the Spokane. My mom spent several days and New Year's weekend with me and we watched the weather reports for further east. We were delayed one day due to snow on the Idaho-Montana border pass. The day we left, however, we had some patchy ice and slush, but after the pass, mostly clear roads for another 1200 miles to southeast South Dakota. That's pretty amazing for 2200 miles in Dec and January in a Ford Taurus.

When we got to her house, the key broke off in the lock. It is an old door and lock and had set for 3 months and probably rusted. I got to do something I've never done in my life. deliberately break a window to get into the house. What a way to end the trip. breaking and entering. Is that prophetic???

Mom then took me to Sioux Falls where I spent 3 days with my son, Steven and his family. Also my daughter, Anne, and her family live just 3 blocks away. It was a delight to get to see 6 of my 10 grandchildren while there. How they change during these young years!! And... I have pictures.

Earlier in October, I had a houseguest from Minnesota who invited me to a conference they would be hosting in Northfield, MN beginning on Jan 11 or 1-11. It sounded like something I should go to. don't you think?? I had discarded the idea until the trip to SD came up with my mom. Since I could get a better one way fare back to Spokane out of Minneapolis, I decided to attend the conference. Kari Browning of Gateway Fellowship in Coeur d Alene, one the co-leaders where I attend church was one of the speakers. It also allowed me to reconnect with many Minnesota friends I'd not seen in several years. I've ministered in many places in Minnesota over the years and a part of me came home. The conference was exceptional and hosted by friends, Steve and Rebecca Roberts, who have labored faithfully for revival in the heartland. You can access their website: www. GatewayMinistryCenter.org for future events.

After the conference I caught a ride to Hudson, Wisconsin. It is just inside the border on I-94 from Mpls-St Paul. I have a wonderful friend, Grace and her husband, Dick, who have hosted me many times and Grace makes some of the best coffee in the country. I've teased her she is my coffee "drinking buddy" and the only one who can outdo me. We're both pretty wired when I stay at her house. Grace hosted a meeting for me at "The Gathering Place" in Hudson. It is a beautiful facility for prayer and intercession and they are some of my favorite people.

I did not have my keyboard, but used hers, and we had an awesome Presence of the Lord in worship, intercession, and declaration. Grace thought it was one of the best. I was also honored to have a gifted violinist, Marya, and a flute player, Chris, play along with me and sometimes take the lead. We flowed in spontaneous worship like we knew what we were doing. I regret we did not get a good recording. that is not Grace's specialty at the moment. I've asked Marya if we can do a CD together sometime. It will be choice.

I flew out of Minneapolis on January 17. When I was making my reservations late in December, I kept praying about how and when to get home. I kept hearing 17. For several months the number 17 has come up repeatedly. Those of you who love to follow the mysteries and codes of the Lord know He speaks in many ways.

When I moved into my apartment on Sept 4, 2006, I realized it had been exactly 17 months since I had left Moses Lake on April 4, 2005. My things were in storage for 17 months. I was puzzled by what seemed to be an odd number. In unpacking, my eyes caught a book on the top of a box, called Biblical Mathematics by Ed Vallowe. It is an older book, but a classic on Scriptural numerics. When I looked up the meaning of 17, I found more pages on that number than nearly any other. It means victory. It is a combination of 7 for completeness and 10 for testimony. You will be amazed at how many times it comes up in the Scripture.When I flew out of Mpls on January 17, my plane was scheduled to land in Spokane at 7:17 pm. I had to catch the connecting flight in Seattle and found I was to board at gate C-17. For many weeks, I've seen the time at 1:17 and 7:17. I've looked up the Scriptures at addresses 1:17 and 7:17 and found threads of truth woven throughout. I hope you like following the "clues" of the Lord like I do. I was grateful I listened. The very next day on Jan 18, a big snow storm came. I had just got home the night before.

My dear friend in Spokane, Chip, picked me up at the airport. She is one of those rare gems that sparkles with the love of Jesus. Chip has either taken me to the airport at very early hours or picked me up. She always blesses me with her attitude of eagerness to serve. One of my favorite things about Chip is her saying when you ask her something: "Not a problem." Unlike some people who let you know you're imposing on them.

Chip and her husband, Jerry, were the kind-hearted couple who kept my van for 7 weeks last summer when I flew into Raleigh, NC to see Joshua before he was deployed to Iraq. I then drove his car across the country and took my sweet time making personal and ministry stops getting back. Jerry helped me load up the U-Haul, then drove it and helped me move into my apartment. I'm indeed blessed and honored by the many wonderful friends, pastors, and hosts across the country. I salute and thank the Lord for each one of you!! I'd love to turn the spotlight on you!!

Since returning home, I've been "catching up". Although I had an excellent trip, it was very exhausting physically. I normally don't pack so heavy as I usually get my hanger clothes and shoes out of my van. Since I didn't have it this time, I had to load my suitcases pretty heavily. Also I carried some products with me to sell at the conference in Northfield. Coupled with some extremely cold temperatures, I was pretty wiped out by the time I got home. I slept one entire day, which is unprecedented for me. I'm still regaining some strength and trying to get focused on the new year. I had basically 3 weeks of nonstop activity and travel. However, the time with my mother was precious and I was glad I could do something that brought comfort to her heart. What a joy it was to come home!! AND, to have a home to come home to.

My deepest thanks to those of you who sent Christmas letters, cards, and tucked something extra inside. It was delightful to get the mail and hear from you. If any of you need statements regarding your giving in 2006, let me know. I will only send it out at your request. Your checks should be sufficient, but if you want a statement to verify, I'd be happy to send it to you.

Now for some other news:

Joshua has been able to call me about every 10 days or 2 weeks. He is doing well. He was blessed with several boxes at Christmas and said he has a handy stash of goodies. He shares a tent with 3 others and they have a community pile of things to eat and share. In fact, he said they're getting crowded out of their tent. He is working 12 hour shifts and likes what he's doing. He seems to think the food is okay and hasn't had to eat any rations. The days are going fast for him. He was deployed on July 22 and has passed the 6 month marker. He may get a leave in April, but doesn't' know for sure. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

His email address is jareed_amt@hotmail.com. Rather than sending boxes at this time, how about sending a note of encouragement, sharing a funny story, a forward of funny pictures or inspiration, or what you remember about him. He can check emails often. Remind him of who you are if it's been awhile. Sand might be in his brain.

Please keep the following in prayer:

1. Pray that I have a clear vision and focus for the new year. I'm already working on the book and collecting and organizing thoughts and data. Your imput and stories would be so helpful and welcome. I will continue to do some limited travel, and am praying about where the Lord would have me go. If you are interested in a meeting or gathering, let me know soon. It helps me group the meetings and get the feel of what's next. At present, I am tentatively planning a trip to the east coast in late Feb. I would be flying into Baltimore, spending a few days at Ashland, Va and then available to minister in the Baltimore area. Call me if you're in that area.

2. I'm still yearning for a piano. Realistically, the Steinway may not be practical at this time in an apartment. However, I do have room for a small baby grand. It may take up most of my living room, but I don't mind. Through an amazing connection, I found a used Wurlitzer baby grand in CdA for $7,000. It is a beautiful black ebony and in mint-perfect condition. That is the brand name of the piano I had for 30 years and had to give away several years ago. When I went to play on it, I couldn't stop.

I played for almost 45 minutes. While I was playing, the lady who owns it, said to the others with me, "What's that smell?" I don't have anything in here that smells like that. The lady I'd arrived with said, "It must be the fragrance of the Lord.". We were all quite impressed. When this lady called me two days later to quote the selling price, she said the smell was still in the room. "Ever since you played." As we talked, she exclaimed, "It's getting stronger while I'm talking to you.."

The price may be negotiable on this piano, but I still need almost $7,000.Also I went back to the Steinway showroom and have played on a beautiful piano called Essex. It is designed by Steinway and belongs to the Steinway family. They are priced at about $10,000. If within 10 years, you want a Steinway, they will accept the piano back at full price and toward a Steinway. I'm still looking for the piano that has my name on it. I've not had lots of opportunity since returning from SD/MN. The weather has been cold and snowy, and I've hung pretty close to home.

If you would like to hear the 5 minute demo I did on that Steinway grand, let me know. I'll be happy to send it to you. I get rave reviews from those who hear it.Pray with me for miraculous provision for a piano. I believe the Lord could have a benefactor or several investors who will give into the glorious kingdom release of the new sound that is coming forth.

Something happens when I play. It's like a gushing river that flows out of my spirit and through my hands. When I go to the showroom and sit down to play, the salesmen just shake their heads. They don't understand how I can play like that without notes. How do you explain the anointing to Morman businessmen? When I first went in, I told them I just ran chords. The first young sales guy said: "That's more than chords". Indeed, it is.

While in Hudson, WI, I also had an unusual anointing on my voice. My friend, Grace, who has heard me many times, commented on it. I was always primarily a singer. I learned to play piano because I couldn't find anyone to accompany me. My degree in Fine Arts focused on voice. I've been singing unusual sounds in some worship services. I'm asking the Lord for a restoration of my voice to be heard in this day with clarity and power. Today the Lord gave me a wonderful idea for a new cd.

3. Please pray and agree with me for continued physical recovery. I've been resting and sleeping more than usual. However, like others, I fight the guilt of needing to "do something". It is really hard for me to relax. I'm extra sensitive to lack of sunlight and cold weather. We've had lots of dark in the northwest and several others are feeling the same thing. Some have suggested environmental changes that are contributing factors. Many people I know are fighting extreme fatigue and illness. It's during these times many of us get depressed and discouraged. When we do we feel guilty on top of it. Let's continue to hold each other up in prayer and stay in touch. Phone calls are better than chicken soup.

My sincere thanks to each and every one of you for your continued good will and friendship. It is always a joy to "click" on your names and send out the emails. I wonder how you're doing as well. Please stay in touch with me and let me know if I can pray for you or any matters of concern. My phone numbers are: Cell 509-599-0433 or 605-376-0033. My 605 cell phone has a broken hinge and I have trouble hearing people talk on it. I'm holding out for about 2 weeks when I qualify for a rebate on a new phone. The best number to call is 509-599-0433. I'm never too busy to talk and would love to hear from you.

Your continued prayers and financial support will make it possible to recover physically from months of non-stop travel and also to write without the worry of how to make it. I've wept buckets at times wondering how and when I'll pay off the bills. However, the Lord has graciously intervened and allowed me to stay current, including a hefty van payment and now rent. I know you have many places it could go. Any size gift is a gift indeed. I'm honored by your love, concern, and giving. I'm praying for your own needs to met abundantly!! Remember, I can and do take credit or debit cards which makes it easier to be consistent. I can set is up monthly or one time. There is a beauty of teamwork in ministry with those who can go and those who can send them forth.

May the Lord bless you, beloved friends, and keep you securely in His Care. May 2007 truly be a year of an open heaven over your life.

Love, Carla
