Jess's prophetic history part 1

In the next several entries, I am going to put parts of my prophetic story online.

You may be wondering why I named my blog lightning from heaven- it originated from an incredible story. However, I have a few scriptures I want to share first.

Matthew 23:37- "Love the Lord your God will all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind."

Song of Songs 8:6-7 Set me as a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm, for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. it burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. if one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

Luke 10:18 "I saw satan fall like lightning from heaven."


Story:
It was July 26th, 2003 and it was in the middle of my first fast in excess of 7 days. I was on the computer looking at Jill Austin's word about the pearl of great price and the lightning storm. Meanwhile, I was also simultaneously listening to IHOP prophetic history CD #9 where Noel Alexander prophesied related to Matthew 23:37 and lightning struck the building. The same CD had John Wimber's story about the earthquake.

In the midst of all this activity, I hear the Spirit of God tell whisper to me, "That is you, ask Me to send lightning on the day you arrive- and you can pick the date." With a total lack of faith, I said to God, "August 26th".

I'm a weather watcher and I knew there was no rain forecasted for Kansas City on August 26th. The forecast was hot (100-105F)and no rain forecasted through Labor Day!
As I start driving, the KTIS Focus on the Family program is talking about Revelation 4-5, living in the "God Zone" and the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ (normally they talk about how to deal with problems in the family but today they were talking about this?!). The program thundered as I passed Downtown Minneapolis, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Meanwhile the Holy Spirit told me that my time in Minneapolis was over.

When I arrived in Kansas City, the sky was lit up with lightning ALL NIGHT LONG!
