PRAYER WITH TESS

January 31, 2004

Oh Father God, You know all things. How blessed I am to know that you know all things.

For Jim & for Yvonne, and where they are, I Thank You And Praise You Lord.


a. Oil & Water. I just see oil and water. It’s just like there’s a sense that these two, other

than the supernatural mixing, cannot happen.

b. Shaking Things Up. I Thank You Lord, that you’re just really, even now, shaking

things up. I feel it’s almost as if I can see like the salad dressing being stirred up. Just

really being a mixture and bringing flavor.

c. Pouring Out The Holy Spirit. I Thank You And Praise You for everything coming in,

that You’re pouring out through Your Holy Spirit, through Jim and through Yvonne, into

this work, that You’re bringing forth this work has been a work of Your heart. I Thank

You And Praise You For That Lord

2. DOORS OPENING

a. Opening Doors. And now, I just see doors, I see so many doors that You are moving,

Lord, in such a powerful way to open doors and make invitation.

b. Invitations. Jim, I see things that are outside of what you’ve been doing happening –

Invitations. There are people who want to hear what you have to say. I feel like

you’re going to be invited to go to other places, even in this interim, to speak and to

share. I see you behind the pulpit and you’re teaching, you’re sharing, you’re

preaching, you’re pouring out, finally. And it may not be that it was accepted where

you were, but I feel like God has given you these outlets, that you can go, and you can

share, and you can teach. And I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that those invitations

are coming.



January 31, 2004


a. A Hard Place. Jim, I feel like God has had you in a place, that he’s really…It feels very

claustrophobic. It feels like the very air is being sucked out of you. I feel like there’s

been such a hard place that you’ve been placed.

b. Found Faithful. And God said, you know, I feel like God is saying in my heart that

“You have been found faithful son.

You have been found faithful.

And

I know that that cost you everything.

It was such a sacrifice to keep your mouth shut.”

c. Healing. And I feel it’s almost as if there’s been such a denying of you, or a casting

down of you, or a rejection of you. I feel it’s caused such a bruising of your heart.

And God is saying,

“He’s healing that and what is ahead of you, son, is far greater.”



January 31, 2004


a. Melt Down Done. You can…you know…you talk about blowing the box off…the doors

off the box…and the box is gone brother, because what He has for you, because

you allowed Him to melt you down in this time. I feel like…you know…it’s almost as if

He’s doubled your capacity. It’s almost as if there’s been an increase, because you’ve

been so squished in such a tight place, it’s caused you to just be such a man of increase

because of it. It’s almost as if…it’s almost as if there’s been…

I see this…like a car…they’ve got their foot on the brake, and they’re like revving the

gas like crazy, and the tires are just spinning, and there’s all this smoke and everything

coming out…but it’s like the power of this engine of what God has given you…and then

He’s going to take his foot off the brake and you’re just gonna go brother, like you

never knew that you had.

b. A Massive Engine. You have the engine. You have this massive engine. You have this

massive ability to bring forth God, but he’s had you like in this really tight place. And

He’s been imparting to you.

c. Snakes In The Box. But, at the same time, the enemy, I feel like, has really just been

taking advantage of the down time, where he’s just been…I don’t know…it’s almost

like…I feel like there’s been snakes in the box. It’s like…I look down and I see all these

vipers in the box…

d. A Faithful Son. Like it’s just been awful and I can’t even imagine how bad these last

couple of years have been to you to keep your mouth shut, but you’ve been faithful, Jim.

That’s…I think…

This is the first and foremost thing is that the Father says,

“You’ve been faithful son.”

You’ve been faithful to sit through that and allow Him to do this work and to ready

these people. You’ve been a sign and a wonder to them. There’s been something

about this whole thing that’s gonna make a whole lot of sense when the veil is pulled

back.

I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that you’ll give Jim eyes to see, give Yvonne

eyes to see what You’re doing, what You have been doing.



January 31, 2004


a. You’ve Been Tortured. Jim, the word that comes to my mind is that I feel like

you’ve been tortured, like I don’t know what that is, but I’m going to just say

tortured, tormented, whatever that is…I don’t think there’s a mortal on this planet that

could really comprehend how much it has taken of you to be in this position.

b. You Have Sacrificed. You have sacrificed and the sacrifice is so pleasing to the Father,

that you were willing to put yourself, surrender yourself to this position, because He

asked that of you then.

c. The Incredible Coming Harvest. Now the harvest is coming in and the harvest is

incredible. You’re going to have freedom to speak. You’re going to have freedom to

go. I feel signs and wonders are going to flow from you like never before. I feel like

you’re going to breakforth in such a realm of confidence, and faith, and signs and

wonders, that God is going to move so mightily through you.

d. Heartache. I feel like there’s been such a heartache, even to see Yvonne flowing in the

freedom that she’s had. And knowing that that freedom was not yours, that freedom was

not given to you.

I just feel like the Father’s saying,

“Son, you haven’t understood”

e. You Understand The Sacrifice. But you understand the sacrifice that you had to make

to lay down everything before Him, and to be silent was the hardest thing. But the

sacrifice meant that the harvest could be great. It was like, you sowed your seed and now

you’re going to reap this bounty back.

f. Prepared Like A Sword. He’s been making you ready. He’s been preparing you.

There’s been a lot going on inside of you, Jim. There’s been a lot of downloads. There’s

been a lot of understanding. You’ve seen things in the spiritual realm during this time of

being cloistered and separated, and even in a righteous anger that you’ve seen, you’ve

been almost honed to this. I see this…you’ve been like a sword, you’re being prepared

like a sword. There’s been such a banging of the metal, such a hammer against the metal,

such a hot place, that you’ve just been melting. And there’s been such a sharpening

element going on that you’ve been honed into such a weapon against this spirit of

religion. Oh Lord, I Thank You And Praise You. I’ve never seen anything like this

before.

g. The Spirit Of Religion. I Thank You And Praise You Lord. There is such a wickedness

afoot in this spirit of religion, such a contaminating force, and I almost feel like

somebody’s poisoning the Bride. I feel like she’s laying out in a hospital bed, and

somebody’s piggybacked her “IV” with some sort of poison, and she’s…just like…in

some sort of comatose state,…and like…she’s just sort of glazed over.

And I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that You have made Jim ready, as a sword,

to go in there, scalpel, to go in there and cut away this cancerous garbage, this work

of the enemy. I Thank You And Praise You Lord.

h. A Heart Set Free. Jim, I just feel like the Father is saying,

“Son, I’m setting your heart free. I’m setting your heart free.”

Receive that Jim.



January 31, 2004


a. Building Muscle To Fight. I feel like, almost as if God has been, at times, the enemy…you

know…like it’s been really hard to tell what’s God and what’s the enemy

here…like…heck…fire…I can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys any more.

And I just feel like God is saying,

“Son, I am not your enemy.

I’ve allowed, I’ve allowed, I’ve allowed for things to happen,

only to put muscle on you to fight against this thing.”

b. THE IMPORTANT CONCERN. Because I’m going to tell you something, Jim.

1) A Giant, Religious Spirit. The thing that this is, is a giant that I couldn’t, I couldn’t

comprehend how big…you know…I have seen something like this as a big, black, dark

figure with red eyes before, but it’s far beyond a giant. A religious spirit is something

that’s so incredibly large, if you weren’t, if you didn’t go through this season of

sacrifice, Jim, you would’ve been destroyed by this thing. This was for your safety, this

was for your good.

If you had gone out there like Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a whole mess of muscle on

you from the Spirit of God, you can, you would be able to take on what this thing is and

what you’re called to.

But, if you went out there like someone who was so anemic and just so frail,

I feel the Father’s heart was like,

“Son, I saved you from…I saved you from…total destruction.

If I sent you out before you were made ready, I would’ve lost you.”

2) The Father’s Love. Everything in Him…I just feel the grieving in His heart, Jim, for you,

that He would not suffer loss of you. He so delights in you and He loves you so much. And

the thought of losing you, Jim, is everything to Him that He would not lose you, and that, if

He was to put you in a hard place, at least kept you. And He didn’t lose you.

3) A Son To Send. And I know, I feel like, the sense of the Father, knowing how bad this has

been for you, and the sacrifice has been so great, and the warfare has been so intense, but

He’s got a son, now, He can send out into that battlefield that won’t die.

4) Acquired Weapons. You’ve got weapons now, son, that you never had before. You didn’t

even know where you were capable of going with them or anything. I Thank You And Praise

You God that You’re setting Your son free from this. You’ve made him ready for the

seasons ahead.

5) Made A Warrior. He just wanted to make you a warrior. He just didn’t want you to get hurt.

It’s like a drill sergeant. I feel like He’s been saying all the hard stuff to you because He just

didn’t want you to die once you got out there.

6) A Life Saved. I Thank You And Praise You Lord that you are doing such a mighty work, and

I know, I know that you had to be hard on Jim, but just to save his life, to not lose him.

7) An Enemy Without Mercy. This enemy, Jim, will give you no mercy. There is no mercy in

the heart of this enemy, Jim. He will…you step out there, Jim, and if you’re not ready, he

will take you down just as soon as look at you. He wants to destroy, he wants to kill, he

wants to rob you, and there is no mercy in your enemy. He wouldn’t give you any of that.

8) The Huge Calling. What you have been called to, Jim, I can’t even fathom…the…this

thing looks like so huge, I can’t even put my eyes around what this thing is. This is not to

be treated lightly. This was not a walk through the park. This was not walking into

something that you could change the heart of people. It would’ve been easier to change the

flow of the riverbed than to do this if you were not made ready by the anointing of God.



January 31, 2004


a. Led By The Spirit. I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that you allowed Yvonne the

freedom to do what You had her to do. As she was being led by Your Spirit, she was

very sensitive not to go beyond what the sheep were able to understand, so that she

wouldn’t be sacrificed. But she was sensitive to know how much they could take, how

much they could be herded or trusted or yielded to her. Even during this season, they’ve

been seeing her heart, but she was worthy of being trusted. She brought something new

and something scary.

b. Building Relationship. And, I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that there was a

relationship that was being built here that was far more important than in ever

getting the fullness of the Spirit. There was something that had to be done about the

messengers that You were bringing to them and the trust that they could give and how

they could relax in Your presence and receive of Your Holy Spirit through its vessels.

They were so fragile but were being made ready for the outpouring of Your Holy Spirit.

And it wasn’t the people that were the enemy here, it was so much the enemy who was

trying to darken their minds, lead them astray, get them all caught up in things that they

shouldn’t have been caught up in, and such a temptation.

c. Gentleness With The Sheep. I Thank You And Praise You, that Yvonne has moved in

a beauty of your grace, an effortlessness, a fluidity that allowed the sheep to know

that she wasn’t going to beat them, that she wasn’t going to shear them or clip them or

snip them or cut them, and she wasn’t going to take from them, that she only want to give

to them something that You so want to give to them. I Thank You And Praise You for

that.

Thank You Lord, Thank You Lord.

8. FAMILY MEMBERS

I just see family members for some reason. I just wanna go there.

a. Broken Family Members. Lord, I just want to follow You where you’re going with

family members that’ve been really broken. I really feel that there have been family

members who have really been trashed, like kicked to the curb or something, something

there, a woundedness there. I’m asking Lord that You…their destinies are not

thwarted, that You have so much more there for them.

b. Healing And Destinies. And there’s a season for healing. It’s just ahead. Even as

you’ve been interceding for family members, you know, don’t be burdened by this but

allow just the continual flow of heaven into their lives. Don’t look at the wreckage or

what they’ve been through or anything, because that’ll throw you off. But look to the

vision of God. Because He says that their destinies are fully in tack, that you don’t

have to be concerned because the work of the move of heaven will be mighty in this

area. Know that He’s healing wounded hearts.



January 31, 2004


I just feel like there’s been a parental burden there, or something, like you had something

for parents or something. There, I thank You and praise You Lord, that you’re lifting their

burden, that they can cast their cares upon You, that you are just sustaining them.

10. A HEALING SEASON & THE PERFECT HELPMATE

a. Flow Together. I feel that there’s a healing season here, that there’s really an area that

you guys have to regroup that you really have to come into this place of understanding

of everything that’s taken place. Almost as if there’s been, not a division between the

two of you, but almost as if there has to be a coming back now that you flow together,

like you’ve been flowing separately. But now God is saying,

“It’s time to come back.

It’s time to flow together in unison and oneness.”

Because, Jim, I feel doors are opening for you to go to speak and to share.

And Yvonne, that there’s that same opportunity in other realms, but there is something of

coming together and getting the battle plan together, and seeing the vision together, and

seeing the next step together, and being able to support.

b. The Perfect Helpmate. Yvonne you are the perfect helpmate suitable to Jim. I mean

there is no one on this planet that God recognizes nor has He anointed anyone else on this

planet to be able to impart strength to Jim.

And I want to say this…it’s very strange…I see Yvonne being tucked underneath your

arm, Jim, that she is totally tucked underneath your arm…I Thank You And Praise

You Lord, give us understanding into that, that helpmate suitable.

c. Exploited. I feel like, I must just say this - It’s almost as if, Jim, I feel as if people have

exploited your weaknesses in the past and that will no longer go on. I just bind that right

now in Jesus’ name, that no one is going to bring up, or expose, or reveal any of your

weaknesses. Only your strengths will be out there.

I feel that there’s been something very underhanded done to you, Jim. I don’t know what

that is. I think you’ve been told things, that they did not come to pass and you’ve been

promised things that weren’t given or somebody said something very cutting. Lord I ask

for any healing in this area of being undermined, or being less than, or kicked to the curb,

or…I don’t know…all the verbiage there, Lord, that could be said of the wound

d. Healing. But I feel that there is a real healing season here for you, Jim. And I feel like

Yvonne is right there at your side, tucked right underneath…you know…your sore ribs.

You know…where you’ve been really needing….she is going to be that impartation of

healing to you



January 31, 2004


a. Downloads. Yvonne, I just know that God is going to give you such downloads

of…even in this I feel that, whatever you get, you’ll be able to give to others at the same

time, but it has to be given to Jim first. We have to see the fruit of restoration here,

first.

b. Covenant Insights. This is a sacred time. It’s not a time to share this outwardly.

Because God is going to give you some really powerful insights into covenant, into

marriage, into the bride. The bride is being made ready for His return, but He is not

returning for slaves. He is returning for a bride and she is going to be responding with an

intimacy and a romance, Father, we haven’t seen before.

c. An Altar & An Outpouring. And you guys are going to be really an altar of that,

a real outpouring of that. And people are going to see that strength, and see that

beauty, and how you two work in tandem.

d. In Ministry Together. There’s something so beautiful about the way that you two

communicate, the way that you two move together in ministry. It’s a really strange

anointing. I’ve never seen that before. How it’s not tag team, but

it’s something beautiful. It’s almost as if it’s a choir, a duet, like two voices singing one

song and the sound is like heaven. And I Thank You And Praise You Lord.

1) Covenant Love, And Covenant Marriage, And Covenant Ministry. How you bring

forth these words, how you move in ministry, how you move in that anointing,

it’s going to be staggering to the people because they’ve never seen this before, but

it’s going to be so God, it’s going to awaken them, almost shockingly, to see how

God moves through covenant love, and covenant marriage, and covenant ministry.

2) An Equality Of Anointing And Call. Because I feel like you guys have as much

ministry covenant together as you do have marriage covenant. I’ve never seen that

before. It’s almost like an equality of anointing and call. You’re so balanced,

it’s amazing. I Thank You And Praise You Lord for all that you’re saying, for all that

you’re doing. I Thank You And Praise You For This.



January 31, 2004

12. CHILDREN

Are there children, or do you have children? (Yes) I thank You and praise You for these

children, Lord.

a. What The Children Saw. I just feel like they’ve seen so much. I just ask,

Lord, that You give them great understanding, because I think they’ve seen so much of

the things of the enemy that has come against their parents and how hard the road has

been; and how their parents have been treated.

Lord, that You would cover these children that they would not fear stepping out for You

or that the enemy would not use this to come against them.

Healing. I thank You for healing, for restoration, wholeness, whatever that is that they

may need, after how they’ve been treated…I hate to say it…by believers. I just, I Thank

You And Praise You that they are whole and they are blessed. And that You are

overcoming every work of the enemy and there is no doubt within them, that they are so

filled with faith,

b. The Mantle On The Children. I thank You and praise You that the call of God, the

mantle that is upon the children is so strong, I Thank You And Praise You for that.

c. The Generational Covering Of Birthed Twins. The Covering is so rich. For

the generations to come will be incredibly blessed because of what you two have

done, you’ve broken a…it’s like, I see you two as twins in the womb. I see this sack

that has kept you. It’s almost like a veil, and I see this poking. And it’s like this breaking

forth, and there’s a gushing of the ambiotic fluid, and there’s the move of the river of

God, and it’s just flushing out, and its just birthing the two of you through this tight

place, and it’s almost as if I could see that there’s a twin to you two. You two can look

into each others eyes, and you know what the other one’s thinking, your so twin to

each other. Because you have been raised up in the womb together, you’ve been in a

tight place together, you’ve held on to each other, and because of that, you move as one

and I thank You and praise You for that Lord. And there’s a breaking forth. There’s a

birthing.

It’s the river of God.

It’s the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and

its bringing you to that place that God desires you to be.

I Thank You And Praise You.



January 31, 2004

13. THE HARVEST

a. Seeing The Harvest. I feel like God is saying to me, and I don’t know why or if this

means anything, but I feel, to say this:

That God says,

“What you have labored for has not been in vain.

You will see the harvest of this thing.”

The Lord assuring your heart that all that you have suffered through was for the sake of

this and that you will see the fullness of this harvest.

b. Moving From Church To Church. I almost feel as if there have been times before that

you’ve left other churches or something and you haven’t been seen for the fullness for the

great move of God on your lives. Almost as if it’s been:

“Well, we know your called

but we never…but we’ve never seen the greatness of God”,

or something, and it’s almost as if you’ve left other churches, and its always been you’re

the only ones that are believing it and others haven’t been able to understand it or

recognize it. I look…like, I see…like, a puppy, looking at a butterfly, who sort of tilts his

head and says,

“Well...well, what is this thing about you guys.”

Like,

“I don’t understand.”

And then you left that church and you went to another church. And then that work was

good and everything, but you didn’t really see the good thing of God there. And then I

see you go here and it’s almost as if you get very weary and saying,

“Well God, when is the breakthrough going to happen?

When are we going to see some fruit here?”

Like,

“We’ve seen little things happen at the past church and, little things at the church before

that, and everybody sort of looks at us oddly”,

like well,

“Well, what is this thing about you guys?”

And I feel that the Father is saying,

“Do not bite into what the enemy has been trying to sell you.

You will see the fruitfulness of this.

You have not labored in vain.

You will see the fruitfulness of this thing,

and people will recognize,

and their eyes will be opened,

and they will recognize this thing,

and you are going to be honored for this

where there hasn’t been the honor and respect before.”



January 31, 2004

14. THE PATH OF HUMILITY FOR “A MINISTRY TO MINISTERS”

a. Walking Low In Humility. But there has been always the path of humility, where you’ve

just been walking low, keeping that low posture, just really allowing God to work in your

hearts.

But God’s says,

“I’m raising you up. I’m lifting you up.”

b. Recognition Among Leaders. You’re going to a great place in Him, where you will be

recognized. You’re not going to be kicked to the curb. You are going to be recognized

among the leaders. And leaders will entrust you with things.

c. Relationship With Leaders. There’s a connectedness of relationship with leaders that I

haven’t seen before. It’s almost as if they haven’t been able to embrace you before. And I

don’t know whether they knew how to, but I feel even in other Christian circles, other church

movements that have not known how to embrace, what is it that you are doing, what are you

called to, almost as if there’s been a fog about it, something vague about it, like you couldn’t

articulate it, or as much as you said what you are called to, they couldn’t get it or something.

It’s almost as if it has been…it wasn’t for that season.

d. Ministering To Ministers. Let’s just say that, but now you are coming into that season

where you are going to be breaking forth and God is going to show himself strong on

your behalf, and because of that, other leaders…you are going to be ministering to

ministers is what I am trying to say, you’ll be ministering to ministers, you’ll be ministering

to other leaders.

e. Circuit Riders. If feel like…I know that this is going to sound like really strange…I see,

like, a pony express or something. It’s almost as if…what do you call those type of ministers

that would ride from one…(Yvonne stated – Circuit Riders)…yea, Circuit Riders. I can see

you ministering to other ministers like circuit riding, like your….because of this you can

minister to the leaders faster. If you can get to the head, it will flow down to the people.

f. Connectedness And Relationship. And I can see where there’s connectedness and

relationship and you are not going to be shunned anymore but you’re going to be…it’s

because you’re so humble and that was the key here. It was the breaking of whatever pride

or whatever was in us, that God was just making us humble so that He could use us, so that

we could wash the feet of leaders and they would not be….you know…

1) Anointed Leaders. I feel it’s like David with Saul, like he said I won’t touch God’s

anointed. Because those leaders are anointed. They just don’t know how to bring

forth the move of the Holy Spirit. They’ve been bound by this spirit of religion.



January 31, 2004

2) Open Hearts Of Leaders. But, because you bring honor to them, and because you

respect them, and you understand what it’s like to bound by this filthy thing, you give

them honor and respect, and they can ease their heart. It’s like, you know,

they’re opening their heart to you, because they know you are not judging them; they

know you’re not attacking them. But, because you come so humbly and so low, that they

just feel like,

“Yea, I want whatever it is you’ve got.

I’m listening.

I know there is more.

I’ve been hungering.

God has been stirring hunger in my heart.”

3) Bringing Honor And Respect. And because you’ve done this in the right way, you

brought honor and respect to them…you know…I want to say disarming charm, but it’s

very disarming, this respect, this honor that you give them is so disarming of this thing,

this religiosity, that they are willing to let go and open themselves up and trust

themselves to your heart. And trust their hearts to you.

And I Thank You And Praise You Lord that You knew the plan all along. You knew

what it would take to get to the leaders. And I want to say, I fell like the Father is saying,

“There aren’t many that are trusted with leaders,

because there is something sacred, you don’t touch leaders”.

g. Entrusted With Leaders. Leaders are anointed of the Lord. They are of a different

realm. But He has trusted you with leaders, because you have been brought so low that He

can raise you up so high. It’s like that skyscraper thing, you know…how they go down so

deep, it takes forever to lay a foundation for a skyscraper, and it goes up so quickly and so

high. I Thank You And Praise You Lord that you allowed them to go through this, and I

can’t even touch that with a 10 foot pole. That is so sacred in the eyes of God, the suffering

that you have gone through.

But I fell like God is saying,

“Don’t touch that. That is holy that is sacred to me.”

It’s like this whole realm that’s only you guys, and only God, and only God knows how bad

the nightmare has been of what you have been living through. But God says,

“That thing is over”.

That

“There’s this time of coming out.”

h. A Time Of Training. You know there’s been a time of training. You’ve been in boot camp

for sure. You know, it’s just beaten you down at times, but I Thank You And Praise You

Lord, that You preserved their lives through the very thing they suffered - It was that very

thing that would preserve their lives; and that you kept them safe because of it. And I Thank

You And Praise You for that.

But there is a ministry to ministers. There’s a connectedness of relationship and it’s

because of your humility.

I Thank You And Praise You Lord.

15. THE BLESSING

I just bless Jim and Yvonne, Lord.

It’s been awesome to look at these things. I’ve seen things today that I’ve never seen

before, and I don’t even know how to embrace them.

But I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that even now they are blessed.

I bless them, in Jesus’ name, that they are blessed, that they are the head and not the

tail. They are above only and not beneath.

They are blessed coming in and they’ll be blessed going out.

And they’re blessed and their hands are blessed with wealth, that they have the power to

create wealth that the Kingdom Of God will be blessed in everything that they do.

I Thank You And Praise You for the strength and the honor and the respect and the

dignity that You are pouring out upon this couple in restoration and for healing.

THE MESSAGE EMPHASIZED:

I’m going to tell you this again.

God is saying this again,

“You will be recognized

for the greatness,

the anointing that He has placed upon your life and

all that you have suffered,

for He has prepared you to take honor

without becoming arrogant, or big headed, or falling into pride.

You will be able to take the mantle and

not be twisted or poisoned by it.

And it’s all because of what you’ve gone through.”

And I Thank You And Praise You For This Lord.

Bless them and protect them.

Let them leave this place being refreshed that they know they are coming into this

season of restoration. Of everything that they have worked for and labored that you’ve

made these things known to their hearts,

We Thank You And Praise You For It Lord.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
