..The Royal Bridegroom.

During the summer of 1996 the Triune God started telling me about the condition of our world and His anger towards our country.... my country. I was told that our Heavenly Father will destroy the Statue of Liberty. I didn't want to hear what I was hearing for my little world was and is great! I just finished graduate school, just built our dream home, was just completely healed by Jesus from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and my nine year old daughter was healed by Jesus from seizures and a rare heart condition. I have three wonderful children and a wonderful husband. I was and continue to be happy and truly blessed.... and I love my country! I didn't want to deal with what our Lord was asking me to do. Why me?

Why do I have to be the one to deliver such a message? A message that for over a year I would not tell the public? The message that the Triune God with patience and loving kindness prepared me for a year to proclaim. A message I have to proclaim because of Who gave it to me..... The message comes from our Heavenly Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth. I realize many people do not believe me, yet many do, and others prefer to remain silent. I truly understand, after all it took me a year before I started to proclaim it. This was only due to our Lord telling me that it's now time to do so. That I could no longer remain silent. May you come to your own conclusion after reading the evidence.

Please pray for me and all those involved with my trip to Manhattan. I will leave Thursday, November 12th. We will deliver the warning to the people for three days, Friday through Sunday, especially in front of the Manhattan Threatre. This is where the Corpus Christi is showing. A play that has very much offended our Lord.

Monday, June 24, 1996 - It was one of those "bad hair" days, when you don't feel like taking a bath. The kind of day when you really didn't care what you looked like. But the Holy Spirit said to me as I started to dress to first take a shower, anoint my body with oil, and wear my new outfit. I had no idea why the Spirit commanded me to do this. I just wanted to obey. I thought it was kind of odd to do all this just to run a few errands. I first went to the post office. The Spirit spoke during this time. He told me to go to the sanctuary at this particular church not far from my home. He didn't tell me why, which drives me crazy at times. I thought maybe His instruction about getting dressed had something to do with it. I just knew I had to go. I drove straight to the church after leaving the post office. I saw only a few people at this church. It must had been around 1:30 p.m.. In reverence, I walked to the sanctuary. In humble adoration I looked at each section of the sanctuary. The Spirit led me to the platform and behind the pulpit. I fell to my knees......... Then our Lord spoke and I laid prostrated behind the pulpit. It was at this moment that our Lord started telling me about the world and our country. Then the Spirit led me off the platform and to a brass cross. Not a thought did I speak as I kissed the cross! I just listened to theLord. This is how it began!

Tuesday, June 25, 1996 - "The second day!" I dressed in a yellow shirt and jeans. The Spirit said to go back to the same church He sent me to the day before. I thought to tell the pastor about the oracle that took place in the sanctuary. I saw dark clouds in the sky and I drove into, to my surprise, the same parking space. I planted my left foot on to the pavement and slowly planted my right foot. I stood still waiting with the car door still open. Everything from that moment on seemed to be in slow motion and the air was filled with anticipation.

Basking in His love I walked across the open land of the church. I stopped when I saw three and four year old children coming outside. What a blessed sight! I watched them and some waved at me. I smiled and waved back. Then, with my hand still in mid air, I felt a power that caused me to take two steps backwards. I felt the tremendous rage of the Triune God against Satan for committing the numerous horrible "outrage" upon His children...upon His Creation! My right hand was still frozen in mid air. I almost fell backwards from hearing this message which ended with the old saying "the straw that broke the camel's back". I was allowed to feel, as much as I was able to handle, God's anger towards universal abortion. Before this moment I believe abortion was O.K. if it was to protect the life of the mother. This all change the instance our Lord spoke to me. Then I entered the sanctuary. The dim lights that shone down the side of the walls were on. The Spirit led me to the pew beside the banner of the Lion of Judah. I started to feel the rage again as I saw it portrayed on the face of the Lion. God "is" roaring with anger towards the injustice and sins of the world. I got on my knees and bowed in His presence. Then the Spirit led me down on to the pew and I slept for such a spiritual encounter was draining.

Sunday, June 30, 1996 at 6:44 a.m. I've been up since 2:00 a.m. I just finished a cup of coffee . This world is like a cup of coffee...sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not, but you drink it anyway. I have been praying and pondering about the events of the week. The question was placed before me if I was willing to drink from the cup that has been placed before me? I replied with all sincerity for God's will to be done. I am His servant. This is my will for I love Jesus with all my heart.

Thursday, July 4, 1996 - "INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!".... I went outside to listen to the Lord. I gave thanks to God for the cool temperature and beautiful skies. I recall it was July 4th. so I went to put the flag up. I froze on the sidewalk as the Holy Spirit said, "Katie take it across the country". I asked what am I to take across the country? The Word said "The King"! The image of Christ as the Royal Bridegroom was placed in my mind. Then the Holy Spirit said "Katie the Lord is in you." Then I prayed to the Lord. The Lord said that He will speak through me...¯"HALLELUJAH!" I said Hallelujah because for the moment the "Church"...the "BRIDE" is walking down the passageway or..."CORRIDOR" where the door will open for the Groom to take His Bride, then I will say "ALLELUIA". Then, I went to the bathroom. While sitting on the toilet I felt and heard the evil one say, like a bully with his fists up ready to fight, come on I dare you to hit me......to crush me. Then I remember how calm Jesus was when He faced the evil one. I prayed to the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and I took a long and slow breathe, then said..."Babylon will fall". I will not attack you for vengeance is mine saith our Lord God. But.... I, through, with, and in Christ Jesus will continue to "crush" your devices and instruments. Blessed be the name of our Lord for today is truly "Independence Day" in more ways than one.

Wednesday, July 10, 1996. I keep praying and asking for the gift of discernment; to discern the spirits. I was in the holy scriptures most of the morning searching for truth. It was as I was making up the bed and listening to the song "Holy Holy" that I felt Jesus' presence. There is never any questioning when this happens, when I feel the touch of Jesus' hand. I went to my knees. The Spirit said that God sees every secret, every thought, every feeling. Then the Lord said to build Him a house of "prayer and praise". The Spirit told me to think. I thought about my little half bathroom and about the closets. The Spirit said, "Yes the closets!". Then I recalled somewhere in the scriptures it talks about getting into closets and also about praying in secret. I went around three o'clock that day to pray in the sanctuary. The lights alone the middle of the sanctuary were on. I saw no one. I sat on the third pew. I thought again about the "closets". Then I looked up and prayed again for the gift to discern spirits. I have been asking for the gift of discernment for within me and around me. Then in the name of Jesus Christ I asked for the presence of the Holy Ghost to teach and instruct me about this gift. Why? I replied for my own sanity. Then the Holy Ghost came and instructed me to ask completely. In the name of Jesus Christ I asked completely for the gift of discernment for within and around me, and within the written scriptures. Amen. I felt like a light bulb was just turned on. Then the Spirit spoke and I started to cry. I didn't want to deal with what was being said about the world and my country. The Spirit reminded me that God knows all secrets, all thoughts, all feelings..."all". Then I took my shoes off and sat Indian style with head bowed as I cried out that "I want to go home." "I want to go home." "Lord Jesus, I want to go home!" The Spirit told me not to be foolish for God knows all. Then I felt God's presence and cried out how stupid I am. How can I be so stupid. I acknowledge before God with tears and complete honesty how "I felt at times". I cried out with such a burst of complete honesty..."Who am I?" Who am I that You choose for this work? I am nothing. I am no one.... just a very wretched sinner saved by grace. I'm just an average mother, wife, and school teacher. At times what You want me to do seems to much for me to do, carry, and to know. At times I want everything to go back to the way it was the night before You instructed me to go to a monastery. At times I want to go back being only the mother I became that night. At times I want to go back being only the wife I became that night. At times I want to go back just being "only me". At times I want to go back.... At times I don't want to do what You're telling me to do. At times I just want to only live a normal life, to spend more time doing things around my house, to spend more time with my family and friends, to spend more time doing the activities I enjoy, to play more, to spend more time preparing for school, to take a vacation, to finish my degrees, to join a church, to get involve with a church, to teach Sunday School, to work with different organizations of the church, and to sleep all night. This is how I feel at times when I am single eyed.

Lord God, I am only human struggling to find confidence in all that I believe. Then..... I see Jesus! His love breaks through with a touch and I am swept away by the glimpse of Him.....and I realize the truth to what is happening during this short time for soon all creation in Heaven and Earth will sing unto Christ Jesus all blessing, honor, glory, power, and praise to the Lamb who sits on the throne. Jesus is Holy and Love Divine. Then I realized there is love and beauty in all that I see. No minister or individual is explaining Him to me for I know the touch of the Lover of my soul... Jesus Christ!

Then I prayed, O God, use me in spite of the child that You know I am. His love then stirs inside of me. You see there is a deep craving in me to please the One who saved me. For just as the deer runs to water so does my soul to my God and my eyes are on Jesus Christ. I lone for God to rule every kingdom in me, because when He rules in me it's like a symphony, a timeless melody that soothes my soul and I find my assurance.

I then recalled what happened earlier by my bedside...I sung that Jesus is Holy and wonderful in all His ways... and I think about the "Great Revival" and the "Rapture" to come. Rapture in a sense being caught up in an heavenly emotional state triggered by our Father. Then we are "transported". The state of being carried away by divine emotions. A state of total happiness. A state of proud and happy satisfaction. A state of total union with Jesus created in a twinkle of an eye. A state of great omnijoy. Here I am in the sanctuary and during this time I went to my knees. When this experience was over I was laying face down on the floor between two pews. Then I felt Jesus touch my right shoulder and I felt divine love. I had been totally open and honest to almighty God and Jesus was pleased with me. Blessed be the name of our Lord God. I then got up and realized that I needed tissue. I regained my balance and awareness of the sanctuary. I saw a box of tissue laying by the flag of the United States of America. My heart ached as I glazed on the flag. I glanced away for I didn't want to be reminded of the early thoughts concerning my country. The country I love and am proud of more than any place on earth. I didn't want to deal with it. Truth can be painful! I just needed time to deal with the pain "truth" was causing me. I started to cry as I approached the flag. I grabbed some tissue and cried from the very depths of my soul. Then I cried a wailing cry out to God for mercy as I wrapped myself with the flag and held it like you would hold a dying love one....

Time past and I left the sanctuary. When I got to the sidewalk the Lord told me to take it easy and walk across the land. I stood still for a moment until I felt His touch. He told me to take my shoes off and walk. I put my bag down and took off my shoes. I took one step on to the grass and felt something unusual under my feet. I took another step and the feeling increased. It felt as though I was walking on living substances. Then I couldn't go any further. The Lord said to feel the pain....... that I was feeling the pain of the earth that has been and is being caused by mankind. That even the earth is crying out to God. Then I knelt down and placed my left hand on the earth. I held my left arm with my right hand. What I felt and heard was severe. It was more than any human could ever bare and was only possible because of Jesus. Then I felt and heard other cries..... human cries! It was like waves from a sonic boom. The Lord told me to understand why.... I do! I understood why it was now time. I left that day a little wiser. I was now ready to begin to deal with the task given to me.

Thursday, July 18, 1996 - Lately, I've been thinking about Mary Magdalene when the disciples wouldn't believe her and the other women about the exciting news concerning Jesus' resurrection. The New International states it this way "they did not believe the women for their "words" seemed to them like "nonsense"". Yet a few men did follow Mary "anyway" and see what happened! Later Jesus opened their eyes! Amen I realized today that GOD has HIS REASON for not yet OPENING eyes of others to what He has instructed me to tell. It will happen in His time.

Saturday, July 20, 1996 - A large black bird was at my front porch this morning and the Holy Spirit told me that truth will be revealed today. First, many truths were revealed in the scriptures this morning. Then truth again about the power and authority within me through, with, in, and by Jesus Christ. I went to get a perm around 10:30 a.m. I then bought a cup of chocolate mint ice cream and the the Holy Spirit instructed me to go to church. I saw a miracle while eating ice cream in the church's parking lot. I saw angels throughout the sky busy in preparation for a wedding feast, protection for me and I feel for all God's children, and for battle. Before going back to my car I saw the image of Satan with fits up like a bully. I saw it again that evening and I recall what the scriptures say about watching the sky. Lord God said be not afraid. I wasn't. I just said Tis! Tis! Tis! and shook my head slowly towards Satan for he should had known better.

Monday, July 22, 1996 at 3:35 a.m. What can I say about yesterday? Just that the door of heaven keeps opening more and more until one day it's going to be wide open with the sounding of the trumpet and "watch out" for the Bride and Groom will be together forever. Amen.

By the middle of September 1996 everything had been completed, the painting, it's messages, and our Lord's instructions. The following is a brief description of one thing I had to deal with during the summer of 1996. It's the main reason for writing!

One day the Triune God spoke to me in my living room. This is what I heard and saw from the Triune God. He said, "I will flick a rock". I saw a hand in space that flicked a rock. Then I saw a rock hit the Statue of Liberty and I saw it's destruction. I saw only the destruction of the Statue of Liberty, not New York or any people. My whole body trembled and I went to my knees and cried. The following was placed in my mind with a gentle touch. "Be not afraid for this is a very compassionate and merciful warning." I understood that this was to be a warning for the USA and the World. That it is what she symbolizes and represents. This warning will not happen until it is known and there is nothing man can do to stop it..... but I still didn't want to deal with it. I didn't want to go public with this warning.

January 1997 - One day our Lord instructed me to read Jonah. I said, "Lord, I don't need to read the book of Jonah for I know the book of Jonah." That Sunday after the 8:30a.m. service at my church, our Lord told me to go to Edgewood Presbyterian Church. I went not knowing why. The only available seats were up front in front of the minister. He read from the book of Jonah. My heart grew heavy and I heard our Lord say, "Read the book of Jonah". That night I read the book of Jonah.... I still wouldn't share about the Statue of Liberty, but I was starting to deal with it and what was happening to me. I kept the church bulletin for that day.

One day after coming home from hours of praying and crying concerning the Statue of Liberty my ten year old daughter met me at the door. She knew nothing about what was going on. She met me with a picture she just drew for me. She said, "Mommy, I just drew this for you." I took her picture and I hear before opening the picture, "Here is another confirmation". My heart grew heavy when I looked at her picture. After a minute I asked her to tell me about her picture. She said, "It's a rock". I asked her why did she draw me a rock. Her picture of a rock falling from the sky took up the whole paper. She looked at me, tilted her head, looked up and back at me. She said so innocently, "I don't know mommy." I kept her picture!

Then in September 1997 while speaking at an international women's meeting I shared the warning. I asked our Lord internally why was I sharing this? Our Lord said, "It is now time".

I heard a powerful sermon one day that summer entitled, "Tough Faith". I remember hearing our Lord asking me if my faith was tough enough to stand before an assembly to share what He has asked me to share, even if I had to do it on my own? I recall telling Him that I was willing. I am even more willing today.

I was given three years to complete the tasks asked of me. This one being most serious and difficult. I was instructed to make it known. This I have done.
