6/12/24 beware of the snakes along the road. ❤️

The Lord said to send you this personal news,
On July 21, 2013 my family was called by the prophetess, Joy, for us to pray and worship for eight hours. This caused us to take a long prayer journey to the top of Mount Tamalpais. The day before I received an email from a friend that a copperhead snake attacked and bit her and had to spend time in the hospital. Back at the mountain, a man was standing near my wife and said to his son, you just missed a rattlesnake and it attempted to strike you. The son acted like he didn’t hear his dad or as if it wasn’t important what his dad was saying. So the dad repeated it a second time. When he spoke it the second time Sandy felt this was a warning for us. As we continued on our prayerful run we asked the Lord to protect us on our journey. Rocki had a lot of energy and was running ahead of us back and forth. We cautioned her not to run ahead and for us to stick together. Rocki felt the Holy Spirit say to her go back, even though she wasn’t very far away, and so she did. A few minutes later Sandy and I both noticed a large stick laying in the middle of the roadway. We stopped and cautiously moved forward and suddenly the stick moved. It was a rattlesnake!!! We stopped in our tracks and watched as it started rattling its tail, and for the next few minutes we watched it cross the road while still rattling its tail. When the snake seen we were not a threat it left the road side and climbed into the bushes.

We realized that this was not just a random event, but it was a warning from God. Satan has placed obstacles in our pathway, and if we encounter and fight with them it's going to cause us problems.

The Lord has also told us to watch the Tour de France, which will go on in France in July, that there would be a spiritual lesson in the race. As you know, The Tour de France has been plagued with all kinds of drug taking and other stories of cheating. I believe this is the same story with the body of Christ. But now there is a new set of champions that are free of cheating,and are trusting completely in Jesus Christ. The race in France is the hardest it has ever been, but new young champions are being discovered every single day. So it is with the body of Christ new champions are being discovered every single day. What an exciting time to be a part of Christ's body.

Italy seems to be clear to me that God is saying there will be snakes in the pathway, do not confront them, do not fight back, but instead just wait upon the Lord, and the snake will find other interests.

Rocki I had a dream 03/16/20:

It was night and I stood in a quiet upscale neighborhood by a young tree, supported by wooden dowels, that was planted in a circular hole in the sidewalk. A very respected, honored, American, a minister approached me in a friendly way. He smiled and greeted me by name and I responded in a friendly way. As he talked with me I noticed a huge snake sidewinding towards the man down the sidewalk. The snake passed the man and slowed down as it came closer and closer to me. The man continued to try to engage me in conversation and he wanted me to come closer to him, and I realized that he had control of the snake, it obeyed him. I told the man that I didn’t want to come closer to him because of the snake and I moved behind the young tree. He assured me that I would be alright but the snake came to the other side of the tree to get me. I turned around and ran across the street while yelling, “sorry I gotta go, I don’t want to stay around, I don’t trust the snake.”
I came into a church where there was a group of ministers in national garb and their children. They greeted me as a friend by name and I greeted them, but then I heard the Holy Ghost say, this place is not for you. So I had to leave right away.

Then I was inside a church that acted like a restaurant. This Church was in the middle of a field, and it was almost light. The cooks in the kitchen were preparing food for the congregation and the head cook was saying, “be as sloppy as you can.” They were putting chili into cups, but in the process they would spill beans onto the floor, and they were leaving huge crumbs of cornbread on the floor and then they would give the people of the congregation the food. The kitchen was absolutely filthy and I saw mice and rats entering the kitchen. Then I looked outside in the field. I saw the grasses sway back and forth as snakes came from every direction to eat the mice and rats. But at the same time the congregation would be hurt by the snakes. This was the intention of the cooks, to get the snakes into the Church to hurt the congregation.
