Hi there all you guys out there in blogger land, this title of unconnected dots just came to my mind as I was musing on how many times the Lord has shown me that I was suffering some trial, (whether it be physical pain, or something else), because of some spiritual misstep. I know, I know many or should I say most people are not going to believe what I am about to say, but for the ones that do it could save you a lot of grief and pain, I promise.
The scriptures do not just give you a bunch of information for no reason!!! The Bible says ALL scripture is given for our learning, correction and our admonition. So when you read something in the scriptures, (when I refer to scripture I am ALWAYS referring to the Authorized Version of the Bible, the King James Version), It is there for a REASON!!
Let me digress just a tad right here and say that I do understand that some new believers can't quite understand the KJV (King James Version) at first and at those times I highly recommend they get a copy of the "Good News Bible" just until they can comprehend and read the KJV. (this is MY opinion), you can disagree if you like. (smile). ....google Gail Riplinger for more info on the perverted versions of the Bible.
The scripture plainly states that "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". Now either that is true or not. I say it's true, so I will go over just a few "unbelievable" examples that have taken place in my own life and some I have seen in the lives of others.
Personally I have experienced, stopped up ears, what I believe was a form of cancer, headaches, the beginnings of MS, hair loss, and severe pain in my hands (to the point of having to move one of my hands with the other hand because of the pain).
In others I have seen melanoma cancer, MS, and even death as a result of some of these spiritual issues. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I did not want to bog us down with all the details.
One of the first things I would like to say in relation to all these things is first of all, no I'm not crazy, no I did not make this stuff up, the Lord has shown me most of these thing through blood, sweat, and tears, so to speak. Fasting, and desperate prayer have allowed me to learn this the HARD way.
The second thing I would like to say about this is that the scripture says that the husband is the covering of the wife and the salvation of the body, when a wife puts herself out from under the covering of her husband she unknowingly put herself in physical danger. I have experienced this first hand. Also if the husband does not take his place as the spiritual covering of wife and family this puts you at risk also. My husband and I learned this the hard way as well.
When I was in California, the most spiritual preacher I had ever heard (at the time), said that his wife kept getting sick and he would pray and pray for her, and keep telling her she had to have faith, etc. and then he said one day the Lord showed him that he was her spiritual covering and he was not taking his place in prayer as her covering and that is why she kept getting sick, he said he felt horrible for what he had been saying to her about her having a lack of faith. He also said that once he started taking his rightful place in prayer as her spiritual covering that she got better and was not continually sick anymore.
I know I don't have room here to tell all the stories of how these things played out but I would like to tell one more that involved my hair getting thinner, (sounds crazy right) yep, it sounded crazy to me to but it was happening to me. I prayed, I cried, and then the Lord led me to Isaiah chapter 3 and low and behold boom there it was, I had become a little to full of myself, haughty, etc. and the Lord healed my issues with that when I was able to through prayer and grace get my attitude back where it needed to be.
I could go on forever with these stories, but as I listed the problems I will just give a list of the fixes and refer you to some more in depth teaching on these things.
The list of causes range from, having a graven image in my house, disrespecting my husband, working with a couple of people that were over the top in the area of pride, and having hate in my heart for someone from my past.
The list of causes for those I had seen but it wasn't a personal experience range from turning away when someone is in deep spiritual or physical need. (that is a pastor who lost his church and passed away after the Lord led me very unwillingly to present that persons need to him.) Someone I knew who made a trip to Africa and came home with all manner of graven images etc. (that was the person who contracted MS). The list goes on and on.
The reason I wanted to share all of this with you is because the scripture says "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free", if you know where the attack is coming from and how to pray over it your Lord and Savior Jesus will give you the victory!!! If you would like to find out more, I have videos on Vimeo (just type in videos about denise jeter) and videos on you tube (just type in denise jeter)
The videos mentioned are titled, Graven Images, fasting, familiar spirits, etc.)
I already know this will make some folks mad, it will make some think I am crazy, and it will help and deliver those who would never find help elsewhere, it is for the later I am writing this blog. :)
Just a sheep speaking,

2016 Election
This will be a vlog post for the most part rather than an actual blog entry. I know there are a lot of churches out there going on a fast for this election, I know of one church that is actually going on a 21 day fast. There are many different types of fast, but whether you have ever fasted before or not I believe this election will determine whether mine and your children and grandchildren will be able to live a peaceful life or not and be able to raise their children to love and serve the true and living God or not. So I would say this is pretty important!! So therefore I am posting a video I did some 8 or so years ago on the some of the types of fasts there are and some of the wonderful results that can be expected. PLEASE FAST AND PRAY FOR THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN!! THEY ARE WORTH IT.

Weak Yet Strong!
2Co 12:10 | Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. I have a few things to say on 2 Corinthians 12:10, as it is one of the scriptures it took me years to understand, (not that I have a full understanding), of this or any scripture for that matter. Sometimes I think we read scriptures and even quote scriptures without really thinking about or believing what they say. That was the case with me and this scripture: When I am weak, then am I strong. We even sing about it, you know the song "Let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am rich". Well once again today as many times in the past the Lord brought this scripture home to me, you know where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. If we really get what the Lord is saying through scripture to us sometimes it can make all the difference in the world in our circumstances. This happened YET AGAIN to me today. I have been going through several trials lately, and the last 48 hours was no different, except it might have intensified a little. So night before last I had about two hours sleep, if that, which is not to out of the ordinary for me. I'm on the "night watch" a lot, but that's another story, we will get to that in a later post. However after my sleepless night I had to get up at 7:00 AM, which is out of the ordinary, as I can usually sleep in a little when I have a night like this. Now on top of that I am packing boxes and many other various things are keeping me busy. OK, get to the point you say!! My point being, as He has done many times before the Lord was using my circumstances to weaken me, and it is true that when I am weak, then am I strong. You see our weakness, whether it comes through lack of sleep, fasting (lack of food), working overtime (lack of rest) it is all working together for our good, because it is weakening the flesh which makes the spirit man stronger (the flesh wars against the spirit and the spirit wars against the flesh). So when we are really, really weak we are much more able to hear what the Spirit of God is saying to us!! It's painful for our flesh to be weakened, but it is so worth it to hear the Lord's still small voice. It was the same way when the Lord first started calling me to fast (to go without food), at first I hated to have to go on a fast, it would even scare me, as I knew I was going to have to go three days without food, (that is usually the fast I go on), although there are many different fast you can go on. However as I began to see the results of the fast, (bondages being broken, prayers I had prayed for years being answered, great victories being won), fasting wasn't so bad after all. Rest assured my friend if the Lord is weakening you, He has a great and wonderful reason, He loves you so much He wants to bless you in your weakness. So say with me "when I am weak, then am I strong", and mean it!!! God is on your side and wants you to prosper and be in good health!! And I don't mean only prosper in your finances, no in all ways!! Remember God's ways are NOT our ways, and be blessed. He means what He says and He says what He means!!! His word has been tried in a furnace seven times. It's pure, true, right, good and above ALL THINGS! Just one of God's sheep here, God Bless, Denise Jeter |

Introduction
Well my blog has changed styles and changed it's look, but I know I will get the look I want eventually!! Smile. My goal here for the most part is to talk about and share things that are not a common subject in your typical church service.
Why you say? Because as I was coming up as a new babe in Christ these teaching would have been very helpful to me as I was coming out of a lot of demonic activity, i.e. drug culture, and all the evils that go along with that life style, and a lot of bondages had to be broken off of me and at times I was at a total loss as to what was taking place. So there you have my motivation. I believe one of the Crabb Families songs puts it like this, " Let me take these hard knocks and help somebody".
So now that you know my motive, "A Sheep Speaks" will be my means, by God's grace and mercy there will be many helpful posts in the coming days. Post that can hopefully help with everything from physical symptoms, spiritual warfare, false teachers and false doctrines.
I am by no means a scholar or a theologian, just someone who has had a lot of HARD KNOCKS.
So be sure and check back often, I will try my best to share all my new post on my personal facebook page as well as our ministry facebook page "Shane and Denise Jeter Ministries". I will also be emailing these out, so please, please, please let me know if you want me to take you off of my email list, if you do not want to receive these post in your inbox.
Thanks much,
Denise Jeter
