Even before I embarked on my visit the Lord urged me to minister personally to the people. Under no circumstances was I to neglect this personal ministry. Then the Lord surprised me and those I ministered to. In one moment, one instant He rekindled the prophetic anointing. Person after person He pointed out and gave me a Word for each in the fashion He did with Isaiah: I both receive and SEE the Word (Isa. 2:1). Many of the people I never had met before. I was unfamiliar with their present circumstances, their specific interests and professions. The secret desires and prayers of their heart were not known to me.

One man the Lord referred to as a "rock." In the coming uncertainty and upheaval he would prove himself as immovable and solid as a "rock" in the community of believers. He named him "rock." The man is a collector of rocks. Before a woman the Lord had me kneel down and caress her feet and hands. He told her that He, the G-d of all the earth, is her true and eternal "husband." She had just recently become a widow. She felt very lonesome, forsaken and insecure. Her husband had always taken care of everything. Now the Lord told her that He would direct her steps and by her hands minister comfort and healing. She was not alone. 

A couple He assured of their divine calling, shedding light upon their present trials. I saw two flasks of oil, each being poured upon the head of the man and woman. The oil pene-trated them and spread healing through their entire bodies. Later I discovered a flask of oil (used for anointing) in that couple's house which looked identical to the ones I saw. 

At another meeting I saw the Word for the woman standing before me as a single path which clearly separated into two paths of exactly opposite direction. At present she was one flesh with a man, but they would separate. Seen that G-d says, "I hate divorce," I did not under-stand this word. "Are you married?" I asked. "Yes," she said. "Is he a believer in the Lord Yeshua?" I asked again. "No," she said. "He is a Moslem." When she married him she did not know the Lord. I counseled her to pray for her husband whose path would part from her's. 

Each time the Lord touched a secret in the person's life as proof that it was He Who was speaking, and not I¹. One woman, who seemed rather averse to this type of personal ministry, I saw standing in a meadow clothed in the beauty of spring. She was surrounded by children of every age and race skipping joyfully around her in circles. The circles of children filled the whole meadow. The Lord appointed her shepherdess of His lambs. He renamed her "Rachel," who had been the keeper of her father's flock and barren. Her name means "ewe," the female sheep which brings forth lambs. He told her that the children He would give her will number far more than she could ever have of her own womb. The woman was now sobbing and rejoicing. She cannot conceive children of her own. She is barren.

A couple was given a very powerful calling and anointing with emphasis on their unity, their TOGETHERNESS in ministry. But I received a strong warning to guard against their union being attacked. Satan plots to tear them apart. They were to forbid every word that would come against their union. This prophetic Word would act as a shield. I thought that may be false friends might try to come between them. Instead, the man had been diagnosed as having cancer. This Word revealed that the cancer was a plot of Satan and not of divine design. The Lord appointed them to a powerful ministry in togetherness, assuring them of their continuing unity. 

Oh friends, I could go on and on. Each time the message answered some very personal, intimate secrets. The Holy Spirit appointed, anointed, assured, confirmed, comforted and convicted with the Word and visions, with gestures of love, compassion, care and under-standing. Tears were flowing freely and callings and visions were imparted which had been prepared by the Lord from of old.

This, the Lord said, is only the humble beginning. It is a mere drop in the bucket in view of the anointing and power that will flow through this ministry. This is in accord with the nature of G-d's moving: the waters flowing out from under His throne are like a mere spring. But its waters increase, its flow broadens, until it becomes a river so broad and deep it can not be passed through².
