I was born and raised here so I know it's a dry desert place with no fresh word of God. In 1989 my mother had just passed away from Leukemia and my father had been killed in a motor vehicle accident. I felt lost and alone.I was trying to remain strong but it was hard. The world around me was changing rapidly and it was spinning out of control. I'm a fighter because growing up was a struggle for me. My family was very poor and my mother and father fought constantly (domestic violence).I graduated from high school and got as far away from home as possible. I met my soul mate, fell madly in love and got married just after high school. But instead of fleeing poverty my husband and I were living pay check to pay check and struggling to make ends meet.In my desire for a better life I started watching TV evangelists such as Robert Tilton who preached that God wanted me to prosper. I'd never heard that message of hope before and it seemed as though God were speaking directly to me. I made a vow to God that I would give him some of my money each month (plant a seed) if he would bless me financially. True to his word, the Lord began to prosper my family and I began to think perhaps God had a plan for my life.I began reading spiritual books and listening to tapes about faith to learn more about God's promises to me. I read my bible constantly! I began to see that God wanted to heal me from my depression, panic attacks and fear. I also began praying for the sick and seeing people get healed. I felt as though God were speaking to me about a healing ministry. I was so excited and eager to do His will. At about the same time the charismatic church I was attending split up. I wasn't sure what to do next.Then in the early 90's I met a sweet gal at work who was also longing for more of God. We formed our own prayer circle right there in my kitchen. The sink became our prayer Alter. We laid our lives down for Christ right there on the kitchen floor.When we did that the power of the Holy Spirit filled the entire house! There is nothing to compare with being filled with the Holy Ghost! His presence is unlike anything in this world. He came to us so strong that at times it felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck the house. Shortly after that the visions began. Everywhere I went the Holy Spirit showed me a great and mighty thing. One day I was at the grocery store pushing my shopping cart up and down the aisles when a vision suddenly "flashed" before my eyes.I saw a woman sitting on the floor next to her shopping cart having a seizure. Just as I turned the corner to go down the next aisle, there she was, just as I'd seen in the vision. God had shown me a glimpse of the future in the blink of an eye. Then I started having dreams about healing. In one dream I saw a small child. The child's body was covered with sores and so diseased the skin had turned black. This child reached its arms out towards me.I didn't hesitate! I ran over and embraced the child with so much love and compassion that I began to cry. My tears washed over the infant's skin. To my amazement the sores disappeared and the diseases were gone. God was saying he wants to heal the body of Christ!So many wonderful things have come out of my kitchen revival. It has changed my life and the lives of others around me. It's my desire to share my experiences so that others will be inspired to tap into God's power like I did. Anyone can do it, it's not hard and it's well worth the effort! Also you never know, revival may be as close as your kitchen sink!
