FIRE IN THE HEART OF TEXAS

Back in 2002 a close minister friend who I served with on the first THE CALL intercession team, and who also teaches on intercession, asked me to travel with her to Killeen as she was invited to speak at the Women's Aglow International meeting there. Women's Aglow International is just that .... an international organization of Women who gather to pray and intercede. She asked me to share a testimony of how my grandson, Noah, nearly lost his life while I was on this intercession team. (Noah was in ICU .... could barely breathe.... age 3 at the time) One of the leaders of the group was a local TV reporter who hosted us in her beautiful home overnight. It was a trip I will never forget. When we rose the next morning we sat on the upstairs balcony of her home that overlooked the countryside around Killeen and Ft. Hood. Amazingly, I felt as if I were looking at ISRAEL and even commented on it!! She told me that I was not the first to make that comment. Before we left that last day, the leader of intercession for the AGLOW group arrived and the 4 of us worshipped together, prayed over the Killeen area, blew shofars together and more. Mighty mighty morning!!!



The following November 2002 I was prophesied over by a couple at a Prophetic Conference in North Dallas .... "the time had come that the Lord is giving you a GREEN light to go forward in ministry" .... there was more spoken. Three months later in February 2003 I received a "sudden call" from the Program Chairman of this Aglow Chapter asking if I would come and be the guest speaker for the Aglow group......her last name ... GREEN!!! I knew it was a sign from the Lord as He uses the color green to speak to me, "Go Forth"!  This was my first public speaking assignment. I was to minister to this group that intercedes and prays for the area that houses the "largest deployer of soldiers in the world"!! The following week I received a call from the WACO chapter of Women's Aglow asking that I come and speak at their evening meeting and also at the luncheon meeting the following day in May 2003.



Why am I sharing this? When I was asked to speak at these two central Texas towns I discovered they were both in the "HEART OF TEXAS" Regional Women's Aglow organization, which is located in an area of Texas commonly known as "H.O.T." ... the "Heart of Texas".



In February 2009 I was invited to speak in the Sunday morning service of a small church near Lake Whitney, just west of West, Texas. Once again, this area is part of the HEART OF TEXAS region. At the end of the service I stood before their small congregation, placed a red/orange/yellow "prophetic HOLY FIRE Jewish scarf" around my neck and spoke to them, "The Lord told me that I was to stand here before you as a SIGN that FIRE was coming to the Heart of Texas!" I really did not totally understand what the Lord intended by my doing that, but I did it anyway.



When Michael and I returned home that afternoon I received a phone call from a close prophetic friend in McKinney, the one who had given me the "fire scarf" as a birthday gift several years back, asking if I had seen the news of what happened that day. No. She went on to say that a "FIREBALL" had fallen in Texas and was seen by those as far away as the Dallas/Fort Worth area ... all the way down to Austin ... in daylight!!! This story was covered on National TV networks that Sunday evening and the following day as well. When they pinpointed the location this FIREBALL hit the earth we discovered the actual location was about 15 miles from where I was speaking during the same hour that it hit ... in the "HEART OF TEXAS"!!!



I do believe there may be a connection in all of the above and with the "horrific tragedy" we are all witnessing right now at Ft. Hood in Killeen, Texas. This is the base that my husband, Michael, processed out of when he retired from the military in 1997. I believe we were in that actual building where this crime took place yesterday afternoon.



The FIRE of this incident yesterday is a sign of what the Lord is wanting to do with the "Heart of Texas" .... there is a shaking going on in the largest state in our country ... at a military base nestled in the countryside of Texas that looks so similar to the area around Jerusalem ... a shaking that may very well mirror a shaking coming to Israel as well!



We all need to pray for Fort Hood, the physical and spiritual "Heart of Texas and that of the United States", and also for our beloved Israel!!  May our prayer be ... the "FIRE in the HEART OF TEXAS be a "prophetic sign" that each individual's heart in the HEART OF TEXAS, the HEART OF OUR NATION, and ISRAEL ... WILL BE ON FIRE FOR HIM ... JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD!"



"Pray for the peace of JERUSALEM: They shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the House of The LORD our GOD I will seek thy good".

Psalm 122:6-9





"I WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS, FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP.  MY HELP COMETH FROM THE LORD, WHICH MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH".

Psalm 121:1-2
