Dear Mothers and Wives,
Ya know for so long in the church world, it seems that either ya got preaching on the gifts of the Spirit or the teachings on marriage and the home. And the teachings on the home never have the teachings on miracles in it. But as we look at the Word of God, we see the teachings on the home mixed with the supernatural.
In the Word of God, supernatural births are common. Ya know when Zacharias, John the Baptist's father, went into the temple as the priest to make sacrifices for the people, an angel spoke to this priest and he said, "Fear not. God has heard your prayers and you will have a son and his name will be John." Well, we know the story as Zacharias started to argue with the angel in unbelief. And then the angel struck the priest dumb and he wasn't to speak until after the baby was born. Zach wasn't used to seeing that many angels and thought he could argue with one and win. In the old days, Zach had prayed for a son when he was young. But he gave up on that prayer and decided to go ahead and live his life without a child. But with God, there is no time or age. God doesn't care if you are past your change of life or whatever. He gives you a baby when He says it's time. The same with Sarah. But my point is this. If we don't listen to the angels, we will be punished.
It should be a common thing for us to hear from angels. It was common in the Word of God. And ya know it is important to read the Word and stand on it. But we must not neglect the Holy Spirit or the heavenly messengers. The heavenly messengers should be more real to us than the flesh. I was saved in a Baptist church. I mean when you went in there, they gave you a list of things that they didn't believe in. They didn't believe in tongues or the gifts of the Holy Spirit. But we as believers need the heavenly messengers and we need the gifts of the Holy Spirit. For us to not listen to an angel when he speaks or to not speak to an angel that we sense in the room is to walk blindfolded, deaf and dumb before the Lord.
We as Christian wives and Mothers should be living halfway between heaven and earth. We shouldn't be judging our lives by what the world says about us. We should judge ourselves by heaven. The rules of heaven should apply in our homes. "His kingdom come. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Our homes cannot be run as heaven is run if we don't believe in the supernatural power of God. We need heavenly wisdom from God. We need in our homes the supernatural voice of the Holy Spirit. We need to know how to shake the heavens with our prayers. And you can't do that, dear wife, as you respond to the flesh. Even our husbands have to get out of the way when we storm heaven. Yes, serve your husband as the King of the Home. A good wife is on earth and tends to the things of the earth but she has one foot always in Glory.
Every day almost, I tell God, "Ya know, God, I am so glad I stormed the gates of heaven for Jim." I have a victory in my life that no one can take away. I can feel the glory of in my feet and coming up my legs as I teach this. I went through hell with Jim. But I fought all of hell for Jim. He was my foundation. And now as he has gone onto glory. I have that happiness that I know I fought the good fight of faith. I had to fight little demons and big ones and middle sized ones. One time Jim had been missing for seven months. I didn't know where he was. Heck, he would rob stores, and what have ya, and run away. The police couldn't find him. He was a good one to hide, let me tell ya. Only God knew where that rascal went. No one could find him. The devil spoke to me in the night. "Jim is dead." And then the devil would give me pictures in my mind of a gravestone with Jim's name on it. During the day, the devil spoke to me "He is dead. He is dead. Quit prayin' for him. You are wasting your time. Go on with your life. He is dead."
Beat the Hell Out
See, the devil kept lying to me that Jim was dead and I shouldn't waste my time. He told me the party was over and I had lost the battle. What has he told you to make you quit prayin'? He is an expert at telling you that you have lost the battle. I love the part in the Bible where the Syrian King tells God's people under Hezekiah that he had fought a lot bigger battles then their sorry army and he would win over them. And Satan tells us that, too.
Well, so I go on with God as the devil is screamin' at me. Devil says, "He is dead -- quit prayin'." Well, I was tearin' up hell prayin' for Jim and the devil was pullin' every punch to try to get me to stop. Why? Because he knew that I would teach this stuff all over the world and start a Revolution. He didn't like me and he still don't. And he still tries to get me to quit.
Anyway, back to my story. I would plead with God, "Lord, please show me your will. Is Jim dead, Lord? Please tell me." And one day the Holy Ghost came over me. And I spiritually took this little lyin' demon upstairs with me and I read him the word of God. I told him I live in the true vine and He is Jesus Christ. I said to him, "Do you believe that Jesus is God and that He came in the flesh and that he saved me from my sins?" And I heard this demon speak to me and he said, "Jesus is not the Son of God and he didn't come in the flesh and if you stick with me, I will tell you many things you know not." Well, I didn't care to know what a demon knew so I rebuked that lying spirit and I cast it out of my house. I then prayed for Jim and he came home within the week.
We have an enemy. His name is Satan. And some of you listen to him but won't listen to the heavenly messengers around you. And the Lord is chastening you for your unbelief. We can't live this spiritual life and amount to anything in God without the supernatural voice of God. Satan don't care if you believe in the supernatural or not. He just goes ahead and lies to you and condemns you and makes you cry UNCLE. But you need to listen to the heavenly angels. Heavenly messengers are about us. Heaven is very close right now. Our country is in danger and the angels are closer to us then ever before. They know we fear and are perplexed as danger and heartaches are all about us. But we are not alone -- the heavenly messengers are attending us.
One other time, Jim called me and was coming home. The devil said, "Well, the police will pick him up the minute he gets on the block." Satan wanted me again to quit prayin', give up, roll over and play dead. I prayed, "Lord, let Jim come home and then give us some time before they find him." I prayed he would be invisible. He came home, got a job and became the assistant manager at a restaurant. Every day the highway patrol came in for coffee and Jim sat with them and ate donuts. Jim was even on TV advertising the restaurant. No one ever saw him. We didn't have a car and he walked to work every day. Then, as he wasn't saved, he politely robbed the place and took off one night. The Holy Spirit told me he did that and I called the Police. No one could figure out how I knew that he had robbed the place and took a cab out of town. But I knew as the Lord told me. I told them right where to find Jim in the next town and Jim walked right to them with the money, all of it. In court, the judge told Jim, "If it wasn't for your wife, Mr. Hultquist, you would be doin' a lot of time." Well, Wild Man knew that. It was years later in the prison, an angel came to Jim in his cell and God began a healing in Jim.
Think of what could happen if every wife in our country would pray for their husbands and not give up. Think of how the crime rate would go down. I ain't braggin on me. I am braggin on Jesus and His angels. I was in the lions den and it wasn't fun. But we must fight the good fight of faith. And we can't be listening to the flesh, ours our anyone else's.
Fight the Fight of Faith
And there is nothing worse on this earth than feeling the rejection of your husband. Wild Man and I had 26 years of joy after 12 years of hell. But God gave me double blessings for all that I suffered. One day Jesus said, "It's over, Connie, your miracle is here." And this man who had left me 30 some odd times was redeemed and set free by the precious blood of the Lamb. King Jesus told Satan to go back to the pits of hell never to touch His anointed again.
And Papa, who had been a criminal, died in a hospital room with all of his 6 babies weeping and his wife honoring him. Danny cried, "Papa, oh, Papa!" And all of the children said their good-byes. And the hospital chaplain was there and he was an old man. And he said, "I have never seen such love in a family. I have worked here many years but the Love like this I have never seen." All of my children cried for Jim and hugged him in his death bed. And they cried upon each other as loving brothers and sisters. A day before Papa died, he waited for Christian Joy to come. He had such a special love for Christian Joy and lingered in his bed and wouldn't die until she came from NYC. When she came into the room, his countenance lifted. His eyes were closed but when he heard her voice, he glowed. She was one of the first 3 children that was abandoned many times with me. But she knew that Papa now loved her. Her husband Jason has a personality like Jim's. Johnny was left, too, but has a heart of love for his family. Jimmy, the oldest, still has a few issues. But honored his Dad to the end.
How did I live through all of this? It was because of the power of Jesus and His supernatural messengers. Ya know when Satan comes up with the supernatural evil in your life, you can't fight it with the flesh. You have to have the working power of the Holy Ghost going on. Satan will bang you back and forth like a ping pong ball and laughing all the way.
Whatever you need to do, learn the gifts of the Spirit. We have to fight the good fight of faith and not give up. But it takes more than the bulldog tenaciousness not to give up. You have to have the angels with ya in the lions den. Stay out of the world and their foolishness. Get wicked, if ya have to, to stop what the worldly people are telling you to do. Tune 'em off. Be ruthless. Listen to the Holy Spirit.
Love,
Connie
