Sometimes the greatest adventures in life come when you least expect them. Perhaps that’s part of what makes them so great. Last year, I was hit with a 3½ month period of dizziness and vertigo that confined me significantly. I was barely able to get out of bed from late spring through the summer. I tried a few things to help the condition abate but was without success. This led to frustration and a crying out to the Lord: “This is not my destiny. Help me.” As I lay in bed, I began to pray in tongues. Lo and behold, it was four hours later, and I was still praying. Then, I heard something break in the spirit realm. The Lord told me to listen to a Sid Roth program on YouTube with these fiery women who were anointed for healing and prayer. Over the next several days and weeks, the Lord continued to lead me to many more teachings that impacted me greatly. The summer became a time of incredibly sweet communion with the Lord.
I also was fortunate to have a cousin, who’s a naturopath, visit for two weeks and help get me on the road to health. By the end of the summer, I was able to drive the hour to church, where I met an amazing woman with an anointing for seeing and healing. She prayed for me to be released from trauma, and I could feel all these things shifting in my head. Within the next couple of weeks, the Lord led me to a teaching by Joan Hunter. It was a session from one of her teaching schools. I prayed the prayers with them, things about asking for forgiveness for the bloodline, commanding trauma to go, etc. What followed was nothing short of miraculous. I had been in an accident 6½ years before and sustained a brain injury. Due to the trauma, I was unable to read more than a few pages at a time, a major challenge for a once avid reader. After praying the prayers, I read an entire book within two days. I was astonished and delighted at this miracle and life-altering change. I am so grateful to God for the revelation and teaching through Joan and her ministry.
This led to more teachings about trauma and the courts of heaven. As I pursued these things on my own with the Lord and then with two fabulous friends, my brain and body healed from so much that I was able to do things and think in ways that I had not been for nearly seven years. Then, when we met to pray and prophesy over one another, one had a vision of me in a sports jersey with the word “Warrior” on the back. Two days later, the Lord gave me the idea for the Warrior t-shirts.
The Lord is putting things together still, and I don’t know where this will go. But this is a great adventure, one that I hope lasts a lifetime.
