Medicine Lake in Plymouth, MN

Feb. 17, 2024 ~ I felt led to Medicine Lake and planned to go to a small park on the shores, but was unable to locate the turn to this familiar park and ended up driving around most of the lake while praying and singing in tongues and worshiping. I finally arrived at French Park, located at the north end of Medicine Lake. (The park is a recreational area; I’m somewhat familiar with this park having visited several times with family)

As soon as I entered the property, my heavenly language (tongues) turned to Native American. Holy Spirit has never given me this specific dialect or language of Native American but in my spirit, I knew this is what it was. The language got stronger as I drove down to the lake for better access. I was grieving, wailing, mourning, lamenting. I was weeping, full of sorrow, and anguish all while continuing to open my mouth to speak in tongues, Holy Spirit filled my mouth with a Native American language, until after about an hour, the unction to pray in tongues ceased. I experienced deep grief, anguish, loss, pain, and sorrow during this time. I used suggested GiveHim15 prayers and decrees afterwards. Played, I Speak Jesus, through the park as I left.

An hour before, when I prayed and decreed, I believed what I prayed and decreed, including this:

…Our with You, Lord, through the Cross, also joins us in covenant with our First Nations brothers

and sisters. We believe You are cleansing America of past sins, healing her of broken covenants and relational wounds, and giving us a future filled with hope (Jeremiah 29:11).

I know the change in tongues to Native American language, weeping, mourning, sorrow, grief, etc., broke something in the spirit. I know whenever we pray, it shifts the atmosphere. When I pray in tongues (my heavenly language), I pray the perfect prayer and in ways I would be unable to do or know in English. Glory to God!!!

Yesterday, the Lord instructed me to research the history of Plymouth, MN for another prayer assignment and ministry opportunity, yet it’s clear this research is also tied to the assignment of Protecting America’s Waterways.

The place I prayed, a significant change in my heavenly language occurred along with deep grief, sorrow, pain and anguish just happened to be on the north end of Medicine Lake where I was directed by Holy Spirit, which is where the Dakota had their encampment and a warrior's body was never recovered from an overturned canoe . (See below).

According to Plymouth's history, it can be traced back to the pre-Colombian period, 1400-1500 AD. The original inhabitants were the Dakota. Their encampment was at the north end of Medicine Lake. The name Medicine Lake is derived from the Native American word "Mdewakan", meaning "Lake of the Spirit." The Dakota named the lake after a warrior overturned his canoe and his body was never recovered. (Plymouth History | City of Plymouth, MN (plymouthmn.gov) )

This is just beautiful. 😭 Thank you for doing this! I have something burning in my heart and believe we need to connect at some point. Would you be ok with that, even if it is a few weeks out?

I feel led to share with you some teachings on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I was raised Lutheran and this is not something I was taught but I always knew there had to be more and I finally received this amazing gift more than eight years ago. I sense healing is important to you too. Praying in tongues helps- praying the perfect prayer - but also declaring God’s Word out loud because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. When we speak the Word audibly, it gives the angels something to work (Psalm 103) with and sows good seeds into the atmosphere..

Teaching from Barry Bennett - an excellent resource; Charis Bible College teacher.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit (verses I leaned into for this gift)

Luke 11:13 (NKJV) “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

Acts 2:38-39 (NKJV) 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

John 16:13-14 (NKJV) 13 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own [authority,] but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 “He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare [it] to you.

Romans 8:16 (NKJV) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

Luke 24:49 (NKJV) “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

Acts 2:4 (NKJV) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Jude 20 But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [[a]make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit;

…and more

You are Healed! By Barry Bennett

When you got born again, you were made the righteousness of God in Christ. You were blessed with all blessings. You were seated with Him in heavenly places. You became a new creation. You were forgiven, redeemed, justified, and glorified. And….you were healed. You felt none of this, but it is all true.

. . . who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. (1 Pet. 2:24)

The greatest challenge for believers is to believe what was accomplished on the cross. Especially when it comes to healing. Righteousness, justification, and forgiveness are all “invisible” things we can “believe” theologically. But we tend to only approach healing physically. “If I don’t feel healed, I’m not healed.”

Actually, the power of healing and health is alive in our re-born spirits. It isn’t a matter of getting God to heal us, but rather a matter of understanding that it is already done and comes “from the inside, out.” Jesus lives in us now. His healing is in us.

Our bodies will conform to what we believe. If you believe you are sick, and won’t believe in healing until you feel better, chances are you will never feel better, or it will take much longer to feel better. The power of the “new creation” is to spiritually know that we were healed 2,000 years ago. That revelation will change how you think and talk. Once you know that you were healed, you begin to resist sickness, speak life, and stand in faith knowing that the spiritual reality is becoming a physical reality.

Those who continue to base their healing on their symptoms and feelings are destined to live in that natural realm, always waiting and never knowing. Those who know they are healed don’t let symptoms rule their lives. They choose to live from their re-born spirit. They recognize the physical and emotional challenges, but they don’t live from those two levels (soul and body). They live from their spirit, “see” life, speak life and don’t waiver. The physical victory will come when the heart is convinced of the spiritual reality. You ARE healed!

And many more teachings.

I encourage you to go to Charis Bible College | Andrew Wommack Ministries and listen to teachings from them. View daily live teaching / sessions. Look at their testimony library. Doing this builds faith for the seemingly impossible. They have a library of free teachings that help others get set free and also understand what we already have.

Andrew’s book - You Already God It - is excellent, as are many others he wrote and available through this ministry.

Charisa, I encourage you to use your sword - wield your sword of the spirit - His words - because they are alive and active …and if you don’t have the baptism of the Holy Spirit, learn more and simply receive - it’s life changing. Be blessed.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention Dutch Sheets Ministries. I have a few of DSM books but not related to healing or baptism of the Holy Spirit. He has powerful materials as does his brother Tim Sheets. These are powerful men of God.

So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 AMPC

Remember, Nothing, nothing, nothing, NO THING is impossible with God.
