The Big Apple- NEW YORK

NEW YORK CITY! I would never choose to go here of my own will, but when the Lord gives you a dream about a man telling you "YOU NEED TO WORSHIP!" three times, you OBEY. The Lord made this such a fun adventure. We took the Amtrak train from Union Station in D.C. to Manhattan, New York. The train ride was so pleasant and calm. The kids enjoyed every minute of it, even with tired feet, late nights, and early mornings. The way the Lord provided for our family truly blows my mind. We were given a free hotel room (IN NEW YORK CITY!), the Lord provided delicious food for us, and a dear friend sent just the amount needed for us to take care of travel expenses, which included a rental car in the final 24 hours because our feet could not go any further.

Upon our arrival to Manhattan, we received a "NOREASTER flood warning". The city was expected to receive up to 2 1/2 FEET of water. Several buildings had already prepared and barricaded their doors and windows. Anika reminded me that while in the New York Tent in DC we prayed against judgement by fire just as we both had independently read in the book of Amos. Then she said, "Mom! First by fire then by flood!" I then knew why the Lord had sent us to walk the streets of New York, even in the rain- to pray and intercede that the floodwaters would not destroy the city. So we prayed, we declared, and we trusted as we walked in the rain to Pier 17, the number of victory! The kids had the opportunity to play on a nearby playground and we were given so much favor from the people. Out of all that is in New York, it is the people that is the treasure. We had the honor of praying with several and one by the name of Britney was drawn by the Spirit of God to Wall Street, the same place where she met her husband, and had an encounter with the Living God, her true Husband! She repented and cried and prayed and was restored to her God. SO POWERFUL.

Needless to say, IT DID NOT FLOOD! The rains turned away and the second day we were able to enjoy a powerful time at Habitation, a small prayer room in the heart of the city overflowing with God's glory. My family received powerful prophetic words straight from the heart of the Father. We are an Apostolic, Prophetic family of FIRE. Fire is not comfortable. It is HOT. It burns and purifies so that what is left is the reflection of the Holy One, Jesus Christ.

On a Holy Spirit led visit to the New York Library, we discovered a New Year's greeting care from Maragret Sanger herself, with the picture of a white woman and her child playing in perfection. She indeed was a white supremacist and fought to legalize eugenics under the disguise of "birth control" and "women's rights". She eventually became the first president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which as of the last year, raked in over $3.1 million dollars, having performed over 402,000 abortions in a SINGLE year. That's nearly half a million AMERICANS gone.

My daughter asked told me, "I've heard of Gen X and Gen Z, what happened to Gen Y?" My response, "Perhaps they were aborted." She grew sad. SO MANY people missing from the Earth in the name of either fear or selfishness, their lives stolen in the name of greed.

We prayed over the earth and we declare that a HOLY BROWNSVILLE REVIVAL break out in the streets of Brooklyn where the first Planned Parenthood Clinic was planted. In Jesus name!

We traveled through Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Harlem, Manhattan, and a little bit of Long Island City, worshipping all the way. So powerful!

Last day of our trip the sky was bright and blue and clear. The sun shone brightly as we enjoyed breakfast with Jesus on the patio of our hotel, which the Lord had so graciously provided. We had an absolutely INCREDIBLE breakfast that Lupe walked the streets to gather from our favorite local finds. We worshipped and packed our things to head to La Guardia. Everywhere we went, we spread the light and love of Jesus Christ. He is with us.

It's not about how much you have. It's about how much of what you have that you give to God. He is worthy of EVERYTHING.
