Excerpts from my first book…
Chapter 5
A MASONIC PRESENCE
Our tour continued through the United States. With the miles came great memories. There were memories of the Lord, memories of the country, the people and memories of our ministry work. It was all very satisfying and rewarding.
Along the way though I began to notice something quite peculiar.
Wherever I seemed to be walking I would notice a Masonic Temple. The Lord would inspire me to pray for the people who went there and for the buildings and the false religion (the high places) to come down.
Because this happened in city after city I knew it wasn’t just “coincidence. “ It was obvious that the Lord was calling me to something more than my ministry with the Liberated Wailing Wall as I traveled.
I started to notice more Masonic temples as we were driving through the cities we visited. As soon as I saw them I would begin praying. People on the bus started to notice and after explaining to them what I knew about Masonry, they began pointing out even more temples as we drove throughout the country.
I was shocked at the Masonic presence in this country. I was also shocked to find out that many Christian people, including Pastors, belong to these secret societies. This goes against everything that scripture says and my heart really goes out to these people who are so blinded and deceived by the enemy.
“And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” (1 John 1:5-6)
Many times I found myself staying in the homes of Christian people whose families had Masonic ties. In a loving way I would share some of the things the Lord had exposed to me regarding the Masonic fraternities. Some were receptive to my message. Others were not.
If they wanted me to, I would pray with them and for them, believing that the Lord would set the captives free and shine light in that darkness.
“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord, walk as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says, “Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Eph. 5:6-17)
It’s sad to me that many people who profess to be Christian are caught up in a false religion such as Masonry. They do not understand the truth that it is a religion because of the secrecy (the darkness) of the religion.
If they reach a position within the religion where they find out the truth, they are sworn to secrecy under oath. Through curses brought onto them and their families through their acting out of rituals they become prisoners, held captive and blinded to the truth by the trickery of the enemy.
“There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains, Because they had rebelled against the words of God, And spurned the counsel of the Most High.” Psalm 107:10-11
Please pray for the men and women who are deceived and caught up in Freemasonry and its sister organizations (Eastern Star, Rainbow Girls, Scottish Rite, Shriners, etc..). There are many people who call themselves Christians and participate in these fraternal organizations, and by doing so are completely deceived.
They think they are doing a good thing. They are, in fact, causing curses to be placed on their family’s health. I’ve seen this time and time again. It’s no joke.
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Eph. 6:12)
I’m not going to say that all the battles that we fought on the Liberated Wailing Wall were spiritual battles. There were plenty of battles of the flesh. Sometimes though, as in the case of Masonry, it was very evident that what we were fighting was a spiritual battle.
It was sad to find many people in the church completely oblivious to the plans and schemes of the enemy. They are unable to detect or fight the battle that they’re in the midst of. All we can do as their brothers and sisters is to direct them to the Scriptures and pray for them, and against the strongholds that bind them.
My prayer for all who call upon the name of Jesus as Savior and Lord is that we will:
“be of sober spirit, be on the alert because our adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But we will resist him, firm in our faith.”(1 Pet. 5:8-9)
If anyone reading this is involved in any of these societies, or knows someone who is I encourage you to stop your participation. The same things that you enjoy there can be found within the context of the body of Christ and that is where God is honored.
There is nothing to fear in stepping out of these fraternal organizations.
“You are from God, little children, and have overcome them because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)
The real danger lies in your participation within these groups. It’s a danger not only to you, but also to your families.
For more information and support I’m including names of ministries lead by men who have learned of the darkness and have had the courage to step out, and are now helping others to do the same.
On the Wellsprings Ministries website there is a prayer for breaking off the curses placed on participants and family members.
Please take this very seriously. Both God and the enemy do. It is not a game, or just “play.”

Chapter 7
SPIRITUAL ADVENTURES IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
Three months into my first tour we were in Washington D.C. It was during the time that the presidential future of this country hung in limbo. The democratic election process seemed to be abandoned. The choice for the President of the United States appeared to be in the hands of the Florida Democrats. It was a strange scenario.
We got into D.C. on a Sunday night. We were at an Assembly of God church in Delaware. After the service a woman came up and prayed for me. Her prayer was for more fire and boldness. She also prayed for one of my teammates, a feisty, little evangelistic girl from Brooklyn, N.Y.
As was the norm for Sunday night I was completely exhausted. The thought of doing anything Monday on our day off was out of the question.
It was 1:30 a.m. We were up late talking at our host home and one of the guys on our team told me that on the top of the Washington Monument there was a Masonic bookstore…What?! I could not believe what I was hearing.
It had all started in Portland, OR. I was out getting some air, taking a walk and passed by a Masonic temple. It happened in Tacoma, WA, Libby, MT, Nashville, TN, San Antonio, TX, Lebanon, PA, Savannah, GA (just to name a few). And now I was in Washington D.C., the nation’s capital. Could this be ground zero of the Masonic movement??? I was very curious as to what the Lord was doing.
I woke up Monday morning with a “fire” in my spirit. It was a strong answer to the woman’s prayer the night before. I had a deep burning desire to go and prayer walk the nation’s capital. I wanted to pull heaven down to earth in the seat of the United States government. I wanted to pray for God’s will to be done in the election process. I wanted to pray against the Masonic stronghold that seemed to lie all across the nation.
My teammate, who the woman at the church had also prayed for, agreed to go with me and a day of fasting and prayer began. Little did she know that God had specifically given her Isaiah 66 to read that morning relative to what we were going to encounter.
As we read scripture on the subway into the city God planted various messages in our spirits.
Isaiah 58 “the fast that God chooses…”
Isaiah 60 “arise, shine; for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you”.
We were humbled. Through those scriptures, as well as Isaiah 66 and the witness of the Holy Spirit in our spirits, God was speaking very clearly to us.
We walked up to the Washington monument and I snapped a photo. In the foreground was a tree with a long, beautiful branch.
The Lord lead me to Jer. 1:11-12.
“And the word of the Lord came to me saying, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.” Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it.”
We got to the Washington monument and met a young man who was giving out tickets to go inside. He was wearing a star of David around his neck so I asked him if he was Jewish. He responded “yes” and I told him that we were Jewish too. I asked him if he knew that Jesus is his Jewish Messiah. He said “no” so I continued to talk to him about the Lord and told him to look into the Old Testament messianic prophecies so he could know more about the truth.
There was something unusual about the words that came from my mouth and the feeling inside my spirit. I was walking and operating in a holy boldness. It didn’t feel like me talking. It was definitely the Spirit of God speaking through me. I could feel the anointing.
The time we were scheduled to go up the monument was later in the afternoon so we had some time to kill. I felt very lead to walk onto the lawn looking toward the Capital Building and proclaim Romans 13 over the government.
“Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God….let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts….”
I knew that it was God’s perfect will for us to be there and I was trusting Him completely for what to do, and what to say. Just as Jeremiah 1 had said. God’s Word was coming forth from our lips. What a thrill it was to know that God was watching over His word to perform it!
The day was gray, overcast and dark. From time to time large airplanes soared through the sky behind the Washington Monument. The atmosphere made me feel like we were in a place on earth that had high military authority, which of course, Washington D.C. does have. As I look back, I think that what I was feeling also translated into our position in the spiritual realm. God had brought us there and He had given us spiritual authority there. We are called to be warriors for God’s Kingdom, so we actually held a higher military authority than that of the government. It was an intense feeling.
We went into a gift shop. 3:30 was the time we were allowed entry into the Washington monument. After looking around and buying a few things we went to stand in line for the elevator up the monument.
To our surprise the sky had changed. Behind the monument an amazing line of orange glow lit up the sky all along the horizon.
“For behold, the Lord will come in fire and His chariots like the whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire. For the Lord will execute judgment by fire…”( Is. 66:15-16)
My spirit knew that God was at work. He was calling us, two warriors in his army to be there and to act on His behalf and He was showing His presence through signs and wonders.
The elevator took us up the monument. We got out onto an observation deck. I didn’t know how or what to pray and could only pray in my spirit language. Walking around the deck we read that the monument is fashioned after the Egyptian obelisk and though it is commemorating a humble and honored man, George Washington, we got the feeling that spiritually there was a much darker side to it.
My teammate pointed out floor markings designating the four directions and we look out the North window…
The date was 11/13 and we were moved to read Jer. 1: 13-14.
“And the word of the Lord came to me a second time saying “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north.” Then the Lord said to me, “Out of the north the evil will break forth on all the inhabitants of the land.”
What was out the north window? The White House.
We didn’t know how to pray, so I continued to pray in the spirit.
After gazing out the windows in amazement at the view I asked the ranger about the bookstore.
He told me it was down one level. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t think it was true. Could there really be a Masonic bookstore in the Washington Monument?!
Down we went and sure enough, tucked away in the corner of the monument, were a few shelves of souvenirs and books…and right at eye level were two books on Masonry, with many more on the shelves!
It was very small “bookstore” with only room for the attendant and two people. I stood inside of it praying, taking authority over the darkness, over the deception, over the lies, over the worship of false gods, over the secret Luciferian society that hides under the mask of brotherhood and unity of the Masons.
I was drawn to a book called “The Washington Monument…it stands for all.”
As I turned through the pages I learned that throughout the 500’ base of the monument are memorial stones commemorating the history of the United States. Thirty of these stones were from Masonic Lodges, Sons of Temperance, Independent Order of Odd Fellows and related movements. I was shocked. I also learned that the city streets of Washington, D.C. were laid out in Masonic symbols.
We stood at the elevator waiting to go down. I was overwhelmed and still had no idea what to pray so I continued to pray in tongues, astonished at all we had just experienced, and learned. Then like a gush of sweet water, the words poured out. They were words calling God’s light to shine in the darkness of this place, and of men’s hearts. They were words commanding the lies of the enemy to be defeated by the truth of God’s Word. They were words calling out for the government to become holy, pure and righteous, and to be God’s true reflection on earth. They cried out for the deception to stop so that people would know the truth.
And then I read Psalm 103 “Bless the Lord, O my soul!”
“This monument was a representation of the soul of America!” I thought to myself as I read the Psalm.
…”The Lord has established His throne in the heavens; And His sovereignty rules over all….Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will…Bless the Lord, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the Lord, O my soul!” (Psalm 103: 19-22)
As I stood speaking these words the people around me were paying attention to the Word of the Lord being spoken in that place. It was an exciting moment.
We got into the elevator and went down to the bottom. When we stepped outside the monument we were shocked and amazed to see the “glory” of the Lord shining all around us and onto the South side of the monument. For the first time that day the sun shone brightly in the sky and its rays landed directly on the monument.
I knew in my spirit it was God’s confirmation that He was fulfilling every prayer that had been spoken that day. The light was shining into the darkness.
It was an amazing experience of God’s will being done through us, and on into the spiritual realm. We felt completely honored; two “little girls” being called into the nation’s capital by the Lord of Hosts, to pull heaven down to earth.
It was one of my greatest memories of the tour.
There were other “missions” like this along the road. One in particular that I remember was in McAlester, OK where a few of my teammates (on the second tour) and the Pastor of the church we were visiting went to the Masonic temple there, which “just happened” to be one of the biggest in the country. We had an amazing time of “warfare prayer” outside the building and then I felt completely compelled to go on a tour of the inside. We walked through the massive building pleading the blood of Christ over all that we touched and saw. It was the second temple that I had been inside and the atmosphere inside those places is so spiritually heavy that it feels like you are literally wading through “muck”…it’s unbelievable and a testimony to the reality of the spiritual darkness that emanates from the Masonic Lodges.
It was interesting to find out inside that temple that there were ties between in and Washington, D.C. I was shocked to find that out, but then again I really shouldn’t have been surprised.
The Lord knows all…and nothing is a coincidence!
