Mountain Moving Faith
Mountain Moving Faith

"In all
circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all
the flaming darts of the evil one…”
Ephesians
6:16 (ESV)
Sherrie told me she had a dream about me on Friday morning.
Someone was throwing a knife at me. It started out pointy and sharp, morphed to
look like children’s scissors, then dissolved into sparkles and fell to the
floor. The knife couldn’t hurt me; it was like I had a protective shield around
me! As I was writing this I got a revelation. My faith is getting bigger and
bigger every day! The bigger the faith, the bigger the shield, and the more
arrows we can deflect.
I got a Holy Spirit teaching while making tuna. Once you know
about reproach, that demonic force is exposed and can’t attack as much. The
Lord answered my prayer. I asked Him to help me be able to teach this concept
to everyone. Then today, I got to talk to Julie and her friend about what the
Lord is teaching me.
I got more revelation from Holy Spirit during choir practice.
God showed me that last month when I had first prayed about the confirmation of
being home for Thanksgiving, there was a slight difference from the prayer the
following night. The night of the 24th, I asked God to confirm that I would be
going home in time for Thanksgiving, but I got no answer. Why? Because that
night I was wondering just how the Lord would go about confirming that to me.
But, the next night, I gave a specific request. I asked him to calculate
the days or weeks. The first night I hadn’t asked Him for a specific kind of
confirmation, so if He would have given me the answer, I wouldn't have known
what it was in reference to. I wouldn't have been able to add it up, and I
wouldn't have believed it or thought it was from God. I would have thought the
answer was from me. So, God waited till the next night to answer because that's
when I got more specific, and He knew that would make for less confusion. He is
a God of order and not of confusion.
During choir, I got a word for Coral that God was going to
take her to a new level and that He was going to show her things about Him that
she's never known before. I got that she had been oppressed for a long time. I
told her all this after I prayed and asked the Lord what she should do to get out
of being stuck like she is… The word "pray" came, then the Lord told
me that she had been asking the same question for a long time. I was to tell
her that also, so she would believe.

I read this the day I got the dream about Dad (Jack Caple) on
September 23rd, and it is really good. “When we harbor resentment and bitterness
toward another person, we are building a wall that will divide us. As time goes along and we still do not
forgive, that wall increases in size, and, as the wall gets higher and thicker,
we lose track of what is happening with the person on the other side. The person doesn’t seem to matter anymore. All that matters is our memory of the way
that he or she hurt us and the hostility we feel. After a while, we begin to believe that the
wall is all there is. Even if the other
person wanted to make amends, we would not be able to allow it.
Forgiveness removes the wall – sometimes all at once, and sometimes
piece by piece. We begin to see past
our hurt to the other person again and, as the wall shrinks, the possibility
grows that the two of us can once again be in a relationship. God’s forgiveness of us is the same. How often we build a wall of self-judgment,
guilt, and shame that would close God out!
But God has told us that we who believe are no longer under
judgment. When we remember this, the
wall comes tumbling down. Then we are
free to pass from death to life, from denying our relationship with God to
celebrating it.” (Author unknown)
I dreamed about Ms. L., that she came back. She was skinny from being stressed out. She had a Lexus and she let me drive it. (Note: When she did come back in December, she had
shingles!)
After typing, it was mail call. Sherrie said, “Let’s go Katie”.
I said, “Yeah, I’m getting legal mail,” and sure enough I did! The government had 15 pages, not 5 like they
said, and their argument was good. So,
here’s the test… I told Hulda that God had orchestrated this whole thing for my
benefit, so I will come out the other side with great faith… the kind of faith that
will move mountains! Thank you, Father.
Then, I asked Rochelle and Missy to put themselves in my place. If God
gave them an actual date that they were going to get out of federal prison and
then it happened, would their level of faith leap up? Of course, the answer was, “YES”.
If you know my story, you know that hearing from God is key to
my personal growth and the growth of my ministry. These were my first small
steps at growing my faith muscles!! Think back about your life. What has God
done to help grow your faith? Do you have miracle testimonies that have caused
you to have “mountain-moving” faith? Tell us one of them!

Posted at 16:25h, 08 JanuaryHi Katie. I thank God for you and your ministry. I became a partner in Aug 2020 and have seen what I call an acceleration in breakthroughs, personal growth and a coming together of what seemed like disjointed pieces of the puzzle for years. Thank you for mentoring me in the spirit through your teachings. One of the many miracles is healing of my soul and physical body from inflammation of the body from the head to the soles of my feet., fatigue, food intolerance, lack of sleep, torment of the soul. The list is endless but through your teaching on interpreting dreams going to bed is now an adventure with God. With insight through dreams my prayers are now specific and directed for breakthrough. Victory is certain. Glory to Jesus!! God bless you Katie and team

Posted at 15:21h, 08 JanuaryDear Katie Wow, what an encouraging message :) I was married for 20 years and was subject to physical and mental abuse, and added to that, i couldn't conceive another child (i had one child already). I divorced him (we were not equally yoked), and his lies and deception caused my sister and brother and some friends to 'go over onto his side'. I became very bitter, angry and resentful against him. I started reaching out to God and one day I decided to kneel down and pray and REPENT for ALL my unforgiveness, bitterness and anger towards my ex-husband. I made a decision there and then to FORGIVE him. What happened after that was truly a "miracle". He didn't know that I had forgiven him, as this was between me and God, but something shifted in the atmosphere, that when I did see him, he started to hug me, and to this day 12 years later, he still sends me birthday wishes, and Mother's Day wishes. It was my daughter's 40th birthday on Friday 1 January 2021, and we invited him for lunch, and he gave a lovely speech including me in the speech and my contributions towards raising our daughter. God is SOO faithful to His Word, and He can redeem and heal a seemingly impossible situation. Love in Christ, Janet Olwage
