Preface For many years I’ve known that I was meant to write this book. I didn’t know the exact reason, but I knew that I was meant to tell the story of the asbestos in the cooling towers, the importance of righteous leaders, and my experiences with the signs and wonders of God. Then, on June 19, 2021 the purpose of this book evolved, when God, in His Triune Being, revealed to me that yes indeed I was meant to write this book! It was around 3 a.m. when I was awakened from my sleep as God was telling me, “Get up Get up Get up.” I heard the words not audibly, but in my spirit, and I could see the words flash as a vision in my mind. So, I got out of bed, picked up my Bible, notebook, and pen that I kept on my nightstand, and moved slowly and quietly in such a way as not to wake my husband. Then, I walked downstairs and sat on the couch in our family room. I placed my Bible on the ottoman, rested my notebook on my lap, and with my pen in hand, I asked, “Father, do you have a word or words for me, or words meant for others, and a Scripture verse?” I asked the question, then sat quietly and waited for God’s response. I heard the words, “Apostasy will be Ephesians 3:6” in my spirit and saw the words in my mind’s eye. I wrote the date along with the words in my notebook like I typically did. Then, I looked up the definition of apostasy and the Ephesians 3:6 verse and wrote the definition and Scripture verse in my notebook as well. Apostasy:1) Turning away from Christ. 2) An abandonment of a previous loyalty. “And this is God’s plan, both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body and both share in the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 3:6) My morning prayer time has followed that pattern for many years. I ask God for a word or words and a Scripture verse. He gives me a word or words and a Scripture verse. I write the words in a notebook. Then I look up the definition or find the Biblical meaning or significance of the word and write that down too. Then, I write down the Scripture verse. But on June 19, 2021 after writing the Ephesians 3:6 verse, God continued giving me more words. His words flowed in such a way I had never experienced before. And the pace at which His words came to me were faster than my mind could comprehend the meaning.

About the Book
For many years I’ve known that I was meant to write this book. I didn’t know the exact reason, but I knew that I was meant to tell the story of the asbestos in the cooling towers, the importance of righteous leaders, and my experiences with the signs and wonders of God. Then, on June 19, 2021 the purpose of this book evolved, when God, in His Triune Being, confirmed to me that yes indeed I was meant to write this book. God gave me many prophetic words to include in this book. God’s Word given to me on 6/21/2021: “It is time to enact and react to the changing of the times. These are the days of the LORD your God. You are to follow my ways and not the ways of the enemy. It should be clear for all to see what is going on in the natural world around you…When leaders provide wrongdoing and no-one is showing outrage, that is outrageous. Grievous actions have taken place all around this great country and it is time for what has transpired in the past and what is being allowed to currently happen to be revealed and dismantled and those held to justice.”
About the Author
The Author is many things: Among them, a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. By profession, a school psychologist. She is not a gifted writer however, as she humbly confesses. On the contrary, writing has always been challenging for her. “Why did God call on me to write this book,” she wondered. She didn’t know the answer. She was simply being obedient as she began the task of compiling the words on these pages.
