Beautiful One Conference

Journal Entries from August 11-14, 2010:                                        

      At the beginning of August, I went to a women's conference called "Beautiful One" in Mechanicsburg with my mom and several ladies from Acts Covenant Church. One of the speakers, Winnie Banov, invited people upfront for prayer. There were many ladies up front praying for people. My mom asked Winnie to pray for the baby. Winnie looked at me and started saying, "Happy baby, happy baby, happy baby." I remember thinking, “This is a strange prayer.” She then put her hands on my stomach and as soon as she did the countenance on her face changed. It was like all fire let loose and she began screaming at my stomach “You will live, you will not die, you will live!!"

    As Winnie was declaring life to Aliyah, I felt that all of the Lord’s fury and anger at what the enemy had done was made known in both the natural and spiritual realm. As she prayed, I could feel the Lord’s jealous love for Aliyah and his hatred for what the enemy had planned for her life.


      I had been praying for more encounters from the Lord and I spent more time in the word I had become fascinated with the stories of angels in the Bible. Two nights after Winnie prayed over Aliyah at the Conference, I had a dream while sleeping in the hotel room. This dream, however, felt just like real life. In the dream, I was lying in the hotel bed and I opened my eyes and looked up at the ceiling. There was an extremely bright light coming down from the ceiling shinning directly on my stomach; the light was almost blinding. And behind the light there was a bright presence and I sensed a being standing there on top of me but I couldn't see any of its features.

      I immediately woke up and shot up in bed. It was completely dark in the room and I noted that everyone else was sleeping in the room. I asked myself, "What was that?" I smiled. The Lord had answered my prayer for an angelic encounter and I felt such incredible PEACE over my entire body and mind.
