Living on the Edge Interview from Enhance Magazine

Born and raised in a small farming town called Dinuba in California, 26-year-old Jennifer Toledo has taken the call of the mission field to heart, and since the age of 16 has been courageously travelling the world, reaching out the heart and hand of Jesus to the young, the poor, the needy and the lost. Empowered by deep compassion, and a strong resolve to see God's will expressed on earth as it is in heaven, Jennifer witnesses incredible miracles everywhere she goes.

JENNIFER'S INDUCTION INTO MINISTRY...
Having accepted Jesus as her personal Lord and Saviour as just a tiny child, Jennifer says she can't actually remember a day in which she didn't love Him. And that for as long as she can remember, she always knew she was called to ministry. "I was never really sure how it would look, but it's just something I've always known in the depths of my heart. When I was just a tiny girl, I used to line up all my dolls on the couch and preach to them. My favourite game was 'orphanage', and I used to rescue children and care for them. When I was 16 years old, the Lord confronted me and asked me if I was going to serve Him or myself. That was truly the breaking point in my life, where I chose to begin the process of dying to myself and fully surrendering to Him and the call on my life."

ENHANCE: Could you tell us about your first major trip into Africa.

JENNIFER: Well, at the age of 21, I had just graduated from college and I felt like I was to leave everything and move to Canada for the summer and do an internship with an amazing organization called Hope For The Nations. Upon arriving, the President of the organization Ralph Bromley, who was mentoring me, approached me about the idea of going to Kenya by myself for six months. It was an absolute set-up from the Lord because just the night before as I was praying, I heard the Lord say that Ralph would offer me something, and whatever it was I was to say "Yes".

WITCHDOCTORS, CURSES & THE SUPERNATURAL INTERVENTION OF GOD!
So, needless to say, I found myself on a plane to one of the craziest parts of Africa - Northern Kenya. The idea was that I would live with the Turkana tribe and help to establish a women's organization. We had been promised a financial grant, and I was to oversee the project. Except, after landing, I found out that the grant had fallen through, there was no money, and there could be no organization. To top it off, the area I was in was one of the hottest places in the world, there had been years of drought, famine, war, violence, and disease.

I was in the middle of the blazing desert, living with a very primitive tribe, and my life was daily on the line. When it seemed like things just couldn't possibly get any worse, I discovered that the entire tribe had been in blood covenant with Satan for hundreds of years.

Everyone lived in terrible fear and had to continually offer up blood sacrifices to appease the demons. Their fear was very legitimate because horrible things truly happened to those who didn't meet the demands. Even the Christians were afraid.

I became friends with a young pastor couple, James and Anne, and they told me that a curse had been put on them because they refused to offer sacrifices. The curse was that every child they would give birth to 'would die just after being born.' Sure enough, James and Anne had lost several children, and desperately wanted to be free from the curse.

Not only were the people in covenant, but the entire land had been placed in covenant as well. For that reason, there had been no rain in years, everything was dead as far as you could see, and the physical environment was just torturous. I honestly was just absolutely overwhelmed, and spent many long days just crying before the Lord. My heart broke for these people, and longed to see them set free, but everything just seemed so enormous. What could one little person do?

I remember one day as I was just crying out to the Lord, "Why did you bring me here?" I told him I was completely inadequate and He must have gotten the wrong person for the job. I didn't have any ministry training, I didn't know how to break curses, I was just a young single woman who was trying to obey God. In that moment God spoke something to me that I will never forget. He said, "You're exactly right. You are completely inadequate - and don't ever forget it because it's your greatest strength." His words shifted the way I was thinking, I began to realise that He still is the God that uses simple Davids to take down Goliaths. He is just looking for friends, obedient hearts that will trust in faith. Everything changed for me that day. I started to meet with a group of Turkana believers and together we began to seek the Lord for a strategy.

Since it was the leaders of the tribe hundreds of years prior that had placed them in covenant, we felt like we were supposed to call a gathering of all the leaders to come and repent. We spread the word and although we weren't sure if anyone would show up, 1500 tribal leaders, pastors, government leaders, and elders walked for days and gathered together to seek God.

Through a series of supernatural events the Lord sent us a prophet by the name of Arthur Burke, who carried the word of the Lord to us all the way out to the middle of the desert. The Lord showed us that the only way for this tribe to be released from the covenant that bound them, was that they had to enter into a stronger blood covenant - which of course is Jesus Christ. The stronger blood covenant would nullify the former covenant and they would be free. 1500 leaders chose to enter, on behalf of the whole tribe, into blood covenant with Jesus Christ. They all took communion to symbolize coming into covenant. And also, they poured the communion on the land, calling it into covenant with Jesus. Afterwards, the people trembled in fear, hoping and praying that this would truly work, because if not, their lives would be on the line for defying the demonic strongholds.

We asked God to give us two signs that He was with us. First, we asked for a sign that He was pleased with the covenant, and second we asked for a sign that He had truly brought down the demonic stronghold in the land.

God, so rich in mercy, gave us our signs. Although it was the middle of the hottest, driest season of the entire year, the heavens opened and it began to rain. There was no doubt that God was pleased, and all the people rejoiced. Secondly, a huge bolt oflightning struck a mountain called 'Goat Mountain'. This was the high point of the whole region and it was the place where witchdoctors offered sacrifices. Instantly their power dried up and the witchdoctors shook in fear as they knew they no longer ruled the spiritual climate. We were all so excited by the great demonstration of power God showered on us, but we still longed to see the fruit - lives transformed.

It just so happened that James and Anne were once again expecting a child. In fact, Anne was still pregnant during the conference and was three weeks overdue. She went into labour the last day of the conference, and everyone watched to see if the curse had truly been broken. Sure enough, Anne delivered a beautiful healthy baby girl - and for the first time, the child lived. They announced to the tribe that her name would be Peace and that she would be a sign to them that it was on that day that they came into peace with the living God. From that day everything began to change in the Turkana. It rained consistently, and the land began to prosper. Where there was once only dead dry sand, there was grass as far as you could see. The animals were fat, crops grew, the violence halted, and peace covered the land. God truly transformed the Turkana, His love for that tribe is so great.

JESUS, THE SURGEON
ENHANCE: Shortly after that, didn't you end up in hospital?

JENNIFER: I became very ill, and because I was 14 hours away from a modern hospital without any transportation, I found myself in a very dangerous situation. I increasingly became weaker, and knew that if God didn't intervene, I wouldn't make it. After a series of miraculous events, a great saint of the Lord found me and rushed me to the hospital, where I was told that had I been just a few hours later, I would have died. I was extremely dehydrated and had contracted a deadly tropical disease which seemed to have no cure. All my organs were shutting down and they didn't have much hope for me. I was told I needed immediate surgery, but in that moment something rose up inside of me. I totally refused the surgery and became very angry at what the enemy was doing. I was fed up with the way he was stealing from me and I just began to meditate on the greatness of God and His promises to heal me. Lying on my hospital bed, while in prayer, I fell asleep and had the most amazing encounter.

I saw Jesus walk into my hospital room. His eyes were so full of love and kindness. He just smiled at me and told me to be still. With the back of his hand he cut me right down the center of my belly, but it didn't hurt at all.

It was all so vivid and I just lay there amazed. One by one He took out each of my organs and massaged them before carefully placing them back in. When He was done, He smiled at me and said, "It's good." and carefully closed my skin back up. Then He placed what looked like clay or puddy right on top of the incision. I was so excited that I wouldn't have a scar.

In all honesty, I awoke still feeling all the pain I had felt before falling asleep. I had to make a decision.I thought about it for a moment and decided that it is not the character of God to just give me that dream to tease me. I had to see past my physical condition and believe I was healed. I began to declare out loud that I was healed. My doctor thought I had totally lost my mind, but each time I exclaimed, "I'm healed!", supernatural strength came to my body. Shortly after, for the first time in 10 days, I had the sensation of hunger. My doctors watched in amazement as I devoured an entire meal. They rushed me off for more testing only to find every result exactly the same, "medically undefined, all the poisonous bacteria in her body is gone, her organs are all functioning perfectly, she is completely healed." God did a miracle!

Prior to being healed, while I was in the hospital, I began to cry out to the Lord and tell him how absolutely alone I felt. I was all by myself in a hospital in Africa, across the world from my family, and it was just a few days before Christmas. I remember just lying in my bed and for the first time since I had gotten sick, I began to weep. In fact, I fell asleep that night quietly sobbing in my hospital bed telling the Lord that all I wanted was just one person to be with me, because I felt so alone. As I was sleeping that night, something very beautiful happened. The Lord woke me up and said, go and look out the window. Now, in the natural there is no way I could have walked, I was hooked up to so many tubes and was very weak. I don't know if I was in a dream or if I went in my spirit, but I stood at my hospital window and I looked out. Before me I saw what looked like a million soldiers standing at attention. It was breathtaking. I couldn't figure out why all of these soldiers were lined up outside the hospital. Immediately the Lord spoke to me and said, "You are not alone! You have no idea how many angels I have dispatched to stand at attention on your behalf." I was undone by this God - so merciful and kind. The most amazing part is, several months later when I returned home to California. A woman in my church came up to me and said, "I just have to know, what were you doing at this time on this date." I started to calculate back and realized it was this exact date when I had this encounter in the hospital. Curious, I asked her why. She told me that at 4 o'clock in the morning her five-year-old daughter rushed into her room and demanded that her parents wake-up. Half asleep they were trying to sort out what was going on, and she informed them that they must get up because they needed to pray for me right then. Her parents pulled themselves out of bed and knelt down on the ground with their five-year-old. As the little girl began to pray, she said, "Jesus, you know what Jennifer needs, please send her onemillion angels right now. Amen." I had not told anybody about my encounter. Of course, I was moved to tears, and so grateful for that little girl's obedience to her Saviour.

ENHANCE: But it still wasn't over, even after you were healed?!

JENNIFER: After getting sick, I was very aware that the enemy was on a mission to take my life. The day I was released from hospital I was staying with some friends in Nairobi while I recovered. That night, as I made my way to the small guest house in the back of their property, I noticed their dog was growling at something. I was so exhausted from my whole ordeal, that I just ignored it and climbed into bed. Within about 20 minutes I began to hear whispering under my window. Very alarmed, I began to distinguish what sounded like five different male voices. It was late at night, very dark, and I was all alone in the guest house. It also happened to be Christmas Eve, and since I was staying with an American family, I figured that these men were going to break into their home and steal Christmas gifts. There was nothing I could do, I was still very weak from being ill and had no way to communicate with the family.

Just then, I heard the enemy speak to me. He said, "I've sent these men to rape and kill you." Absolute terror filled my body as all of a sudden I could hear them begin to try to break the lock on my door.

I felt like I was going to have a heart attack as I was beginning to imagine what was about to happen to me. In that moment God spoke to me. He said, with great urgency in His voice, "Make a decision. Hurry up, your life depends on it!" I didn't understand what kind of decision I was suppose to make, I was just so consumed with fear. He responded, "Chose Faith or Fear... which is it going to be?"

In that moment, I honestly had no idea how not to be afraid, but I told the Lord that I chose faith and that I believed He could get me out of the situation. Immediately He began to remind me of all His promises of protection over me. Psalms 91. Psalms 27. I just meditated on His Word. Then something amazing and supernatural happened. Instantly all fear just left my body and I was filled with the most amazing gift of faith. I don't know how to explain what happened other than I was completely convinced that God would not allow them to lay one finger on me. In fact, I jumped out of bed full of strength and ran to the window. I was going to yell at them through the window that was cracked open and warn them that they had five seconds to leave the property or God would strike them dead. There was NO doubt in my mind that it would happen too. I know it must sound so absurd, even saying it now, I have to chuckle, but it was supernatural. As I was on my way to the window, something rather funny happened. I actually slipped on a plastic bag that was on the floor, and I ended up toppling over on the ground and hitting the desk. As I lay on the floor I began to hear them whispering amongst themselves. They couldn't sort out what the noise was. The plastic bag, the sliding, the hitting the desk - they actually thought someone was coming with a gun. They were arguing and trying to decide what to do. Actually when the noise happened, one of the men jumped and his arm set off the motion light, which sent the dog barking! As I stayed motionless, they decided that surely someone was coming and that they had to leave immediately. They turned and ran and jumped over the huge wall that surrounded the property.

CHILDREN PERFORMING MIRACLES
ENHANCE: Could you tell us about some of the miracles you are experiencing ministering to the children?

JENNIFER: We have been working in Bungoma, Kenya for four years now and we have seen God demonstrate some of the most amazing miracles through the children time and time again. When I first arrived in Bungoma, in so many of the churches, children were a forgotten group. The churches didn't have much value for the spiritual capacity of children. It was while I was there that God commissioned me to work with children. He asked me to teach the next generation the 'undiluted gospel'. Quite honestly I laughed at first, because coming from the West, I knew I didn't know an 'undiluted gospel'. But there began my quest to relearn all that I knew and to begin to teach children this undiluted gospel.

The majority of the kids I originally worked with were all orphans and street kids. But God began to totally transform them with the gospel of the Kingdom, and it wasn't long before everyone everywhere noticed that God was truly with these children. There were multiple occasions where the children would go into large hospitals and pray for the sick, and we would see entire hospital wards get cleared out. People dying of AIDS, malaria, typhoid, etc were completely healed, got up out of their beds and went home! Of course all the doctors and nurses got saved witnessing this.

One time, the children felt like God wanted them to go to the hospital to pray every day during their lunch break. So out of obedience they went, and sure enough every single day people got miraculously healed. The doctors phoned us a few weeks later and thanked us for sending the children, but told us that we would have to start praying for them because if this kept up they would be without a job. We thought they were surely joking. But, over the next several weeks as the children saw healings daily, the hospital was forced to shut down as it could no longer stay in business. People were healed from their diseases before they could be treated by the hospital! We've seen so many miracles!

Recently we took eight suit cases full of designer clothing to donate to orphans in Rwanda and Kenya. To our amazement, we were able to clothe hundreds and hundreds of children. The clothing supernaturally multiplied. The more we kept giving away, the more we kept pulling out. By the end we were taking bags and bags of clothing to different orphanages in town, but we still didn't run out! Each child received multiple outfits and they were so blessed by the kindness of God. In fact, one little three-month-old baby girl who had just been found in a garbage can, got 23 dresses!

ENHANCE: What kinds of miracles have you seen manifest through the ministry of the children themselves?

JENNIFER: Children pray for the demonized and they get set free. Children preach the gospel and people get saved. Children lead worship, and the thick presence of God fills the room. Children pray for the sick and they get healed. Children are prophesying, interceding, having dreams, visions, and visitations. Children are fasting and praying for Government laws to change and are seeing them transform right in front of them. Children are ushering unity into their cities. Children are getting heavenly strategies to end violence and injustice in their cities. Simply, children are partnering with God to see His Kingdom come to earth. We see it with our own eyes all the time, in every country.

ENHANCE: What is your response to the opinion of some churches that Sunday School is for child-minding and entertaining the children while mum and dad are in 'big church'?

JENNIFER: Honestly? It makes me want to scream! I think it's because Jesus probably wants to scream too. He so longs to break into these kids' lives and yet, just like the disciples, we're hindering the children from coming to Him. Over half of the earth's population is under the age of 15! And so often our churches are primarily 'adult focused'. Our programs, our sermons, our everything are geared for adults. We want to see revival, but the reality is if children are the majority of who is out there, then our churches just are not ready for the harvest. What will we do if revival breaks out and 3 billion children get saved? I certainly hope we're not going to shove them off in a gymnasium, feed them cookies and milk and let them play games. My prayer is that as the Church, we are making ourselves ready to disciple, equip, and work with the saints of God no matter how young or old they are. Children do not get a 'Junior Holy Spirit', and they are not just the church of tomorrow. They are the Church of today and we must begin investing in them.

ENHANCE: What would you say to the parents who might be concerned that children could become disappointed and disillusioned if they don't see the miracle they are believing for?

JENNIFER: You know, one time as I was teaching the children that Jesus heals the sick and that He took all infirmities on Himself... I wanted to just drop in there that, Well, sometimes people don't always get healed. Just as that almost slipped out of my mouth, I felt the strongest rebuke of the Lord overwhelm me.

God told me very clearly, "Jennifer, don't you think I can defend myself? I asked you to teach the children what My Word says. Do not add your religious unbelief to truth."

I was so shocked, because I thought I was doing the children a favour by protecting them from disappointment, but really I had totally offended the Holy Spirit. One of the greatest gifts that children have is their child-like faith - and we have to be so careful to nurture that and not to quench it.

ENHANCE: What did your mother instill in you as a child that you hope to impart to the children you are mentoring?

JENNIFER: Because my mother was a single mom, she always taught us very simply, that God was our Father. It wasn't just something we knew in our head. She taught us to live it very practically. If we needed something she would say, "Well, good fathers provide that for their children, so ask your Father." And we would pray, and God would provide. She taught us how to see Him as a father. I think more than ever we must see Him as our Father, especially today as we see a whole generation who is fatherless. He longs to reveal Himself as our Father. In our ministry we are always focusing on grounding children in the love and faithfulness of their Father.

ENHANCE: What are some of the challenges you have found working with children?

JENNIFER: In some ways I actually think working with kids is so much easier than working with adults. What is challenging for me though, is that working with kids takes so much energy! You have to always be moving, keeping their attention, and although I love it, it gets tiring. Another thing that sometimes we run into, is that children are used to being 'entertained' in church. It's a battle that we face often, but we refuse to 'entertain'. Although it takes some pressing in, as we offer children the meat, the depths of who Christ is, they always end up far more 'entertained' than if we would have tried to.

ENHANCE: Any embarrassing moments working with children?

JENNIFER: Hum... well, I guess this is more funny than embarrassing. One time in Canada, after a week of equipping children to minister, we sent them all over the city. They went door to door, they did prophetic evangelism, they ministered in the schools, hospitals, malls, etc.

After a few days of sending the kids out, we were hearing amazing testimonies of all the miracles and salvations that were taking place. Then one kid raised his hand and asked me, "What should we do with all the money we're making?" I didn't understand his question, so I asked him to repeat it. Quickly enough I got to the bottom of things and found out that several people had given the children money when they received healing after the children had prayed for them. For example, they went to an elderly woman's home and asked her if she wanted prayer. She said yes, received prayer and got healed. She asked the children if she was supposed to pay them. They said no, but told her if she wanted to give them money they wouldn't turn it away. Sure enough she gave them money, and they all went out and bought ice-cream. I thought it was horrible and hilarious at the same time! I sat all the children down and explained that we freely give of the Lord, and if someone offers to pay them just to politely decline.

FALLING IN LOVE
ENHANCE: How did you and your husband meet?

JENNIFER: Jonatan and I met in Louisiana at a conference we were both ministering at. He was there ministering with White Dove Ministries, and I came to minister to the children. His team had no idea who I was or that someone was coming to minister to the children. Our first meeting was rather awkward because the first time he saw me walk into the room, his very first thought was, "Wow, I could marry that girl!" Of course, he was shocked by his own thoughts, since he had no idea who I was, if I was married, or anything. He hadn't dated in eight years, he had been waiting for the right one, and actually had no intentions of getting married any time soon. The last night of the conference he came up and started a conversation with me. We chatted for about 45 minutes and then we went our ways. I thought he seemed like a great guy, but I was in no way interested because I felt like I just couldn't trust my own judgement. I wanted... you know, like 50 signs in the sky, 20 prophetic words, 30 confirming dreams before I would even think about being interested in someone. Well, his best friend (and ministry partner) went on a mission to find out how to contact me. Within a week after the conference, they had e-mailed me inviting me to come speak at a youth conference with them. I agreed to do the conference, and found out that Jonatan was the one administrating the conference - so I would have to work out the details with him (of course, this was all a big set-up from their end!).

Needless to say, our first phone conversation lasted two and a half hours and we just connected instantly. We developed a friendship from there, and continued to communicate for about seven months. Jonatan had known from the day we met that I would be his wife (of course he never said that to me!), but it took me some time. God so graciously helped me deal with my fears, and Jonatan truly stole my heart. When I realized I was helplessly in love with him, I prayed and asked God to please give me a major sign if this was the 'one'. His response really surprised me. He said, "Jonatan will always push you closer to Me. My stamp of approval is on this relationship, but I'm not going to command you to marry him like you want Me to. I'm not going to give you 50 signs in the sky. I want you to choose. Do you want to spend the rest of your life loving this man? Love is a choice, and it's your choice." This really messed me up, because I didn't want a choice... I didn't trust my choice. I wanted God to command me to marry someone and that would be that. That is so funny because I'm such a helpless romantic, but it just felt safer that way. I told the Lord that I didn't want to live my life without Jonatan and that I chose love. I instantly felt the pleasure of God over me, and He responded, "Good, because he is My highest for your life."

We weren't living in the same city at the time, but we met in Dallas, Texas for our first date. By the end of the night we knew we wanted to get married and within a few months we were married! Jonatan is my best friend. He is so fun, so pure, so kind - I absolutely LOVE being married to him! I feel so lavished by God to have a husband so amazing.

Jonatan is so good for me, I honestly don't know how I did it before he came along! He keeps me balanced. I tend to be emotional and dramatic - and he's that constant steady in my life, always bringing me back to truth and the faithfulness of God. We had very different upbringings and yet our lives compliment each other so perfectly. When we first got married, it was a challenge because we seem to see things from opposite perspectives. Now, we see it as such a gift, because we realise that we need both perspectives to see the whole picture.

...AND BABY MAKES THREE
One year after we married, God blessed Jonatan and I with our precious baby girl Malaika Harvest. (Malaika is the Swahili word for Angel.) The Lord gave us her name, and we feel that she is a prophetic picture for her generation since her name means 'The Angel that Harvests'. She is five-months-old now and she is such a joy! I absolutely love being a mom. We feel so spoiled because she is such a great baby. She is always smiling, full of life, and so much fun to be around.

ENHANCE: Has family life changed your ministry in any way?

JENNIFER: Well, being married hasn't changed how I minister, but it has adjusted my priorities. We really strongly believe that family comes above ministry. I don't believe God would ever ask us to sacrifice our family for ministry. I believe He wants to teach us how to integrate the two. When I was single, it was easy to give all of my time and energy into ministry. Although my commitment to ministry hasn't changed, I want to be faithful to give my family the first-fruits of my time and energy. It's not an easy balance, but I'm learning. There is a quote by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis that says, "If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much." I want to be faithful to love, and I believe that starts at home. Of course God is always first in our lives, but I believe we're called to minister out of a place of relationship. So often people let ministry define their relationships. I believe relationships will define our ministry, and so I think that we must first model that at home.

My husband and I minister full time together. We co-lead Global Children's Movement, we travel together, we make ministry decisions together, we parent together, and we get to live together - it's a great deal! We both have a heart for discipleship, the poor, children and youth, and justice.

ENHANCE: How do you and your husband relax together?

JENNIFER: You know, travelling is fun and very tiring all at the same time - especially travelling with an infant. We love to have fun, but quite honestly we haven't had much time to relax since Malaika was born. We love to work out, go on walks, sit down together for a nice meal, watch a movie, hang out with family and friends, and when all else fails - there is always salsa dancing!

PARTNERING WITH JESUS...
ENHANCE: What is the greatest challenge in your life at the moment? And how are you walking through?

JENNIFER: I think I would have to say that there are two challenges right now that I'm constantly trying to overcome. First of all, finding time to connect with the Lord the way I like to, has been very difficult. I'm the kind of person that needs silence, to be alone, and I love just having hours to be with the Lord. Ever since I got married, and now having a baby, it seems like I'm just NEVER alone - let alone in silence for hours. I realise that we go through seasons, and that I'm not at a time in my life where I can just have hours by myself... so that has been tough to adjust to. I'm learning how to find God in changing diapers, making dinner, and cleaning the house. I long for intimacy with Him, and I want to learn to find Him in the every day.

Secondly, a huge challenge I'm continually facing is that our vision is so much bigger than our finances. I know this is common for many ministries - but my heart yearns for Kingdom finances to be released so that Jesus can have His inheritance. We're in the middle of opening a children's rescue centre in Kenya, and every day... every penny has been a faith-testing miracle. God has ALWAYS been faithful and He will continue to be faithful - sometimes I'd just like Him to work a little faster!

ENHANCE: I know you have personally witnessed much suffering during your travels - particularly in developing countries. How do you personally cope with this, especially the times you have nothing left to give - except the Gospel?

JENNIFER: I cry. I wish I had a better answer for you, but I don't. I just cry. My heart breaks to watch the suffering, I don't think I'll ever get 'used' to seeing it. I just sit and cry with Jesus. We cry together. I hope I never stop crying for the poor.

ENHANCE: If you knew this was your last night on earth, what would be the focus of your prayers?

JENNIFER: Wow, that's a tough question. My primary prayer is that God would make me a lover... That I would be known as a true lover of God and of others. Also, my prayer would continue to be that His Kingdom would come to earth and that Jesus would receive His inheritance - all those that He loves.

ENHANCE: What is the Lord currently speaking to you about?

JENNIFER: Sonship. The spirit of adoption. Both spiritually and naturally. I believe if we can really understand who we are as sons and daughters we would walk with so much more authority. In the same way, I believe naturally the Lord wants to raise up true spiritual mothers and fathers who love and release the next generation. I also think that as believers we should be modeling 'adoption'. It's Christians who should be opening up their homes and hearts to orphans.
