…and here they're coming.  I asked the Lord, I said, “Lord, why do you want me to pull over?” He said, "Because the cows want to talk to you." “What?!”  “Pull over, because the cows want to talk to you.” So, here they are.  I pulled over and here come the cows.  They throw their heads up and they're running full throttle towards me.  And He said, "Focus on their eyes." I have never in my life seen anything with so much anticipation. These cows ran to this fence.  They stopped and they, they, I heard it in English.  They said, "It's you!  It's you! It's finally you!" It melted me on the inside.  I said, "God, what do those cows know about me that I don't know about myself?" He They said, He said, "Timing.  The whole creation is groaning and travailing for the manifestation of the sons of God."  Yeah.  It's you.  It's you.  It's finally you.  Isn't that something?  Now animals speak to us.  It's the craziest thing you've ever seen.  Yeah.  You go, “I don't believe that.”  Well, it won't happen to you.  Okay. 

 I have had three recent instances of dogs making a very excited sound when I met them – not barking and not whining – but hardly containable, something bursting out, with much wiggling and happiness, so much so that each of their owners were astonished and made comments, not ever having heard this before.  K’s dog in Colorado May 2025, S and T’s big dog in Croydon England June 2025 (but not the other dog!), and J and K’s little dog in Georgia July 2025.

Transcript

I was getting ready to go preach in Boston and the Lord spoke to me, “Call your grandmother and ask her what the greatest miracle I ever did for your grandfather and her in 50 years of ministry was.”  So, I called her.  No one knew this story.  It would have died with her if  the Lord didn't trigger me, and He obviously wanted it to live on.  So I said, “Grandma, what's the greatest miracle God ever did for you and Grandpa in the 50 years you guys were preaching?” “Well, this might sound like a small miracle to some people, but it was big for us at the time,” she said.  She said, “We woke up one morning.” They had no income from preaching, they just preach on the street out of Bible College and believe, you know, just trust God.  So, she said, “I woke up.  There was no food for breakfast.”  “So,” she said, “I got ready to pray, and all of a sudden…” What does the Bible say? Trouble chases sinners, blessings pursue the righteous [Proverbs 13:21].  She said, “Before I could even get one word out, I saw chickens marching down a hill…” They were living in West Virginia.  “…towards our house.  Twenty one chickens.”  So, you know, normally chickens aren't on the move.  They keep them in a pen.  So, she said, “I watched them.  They were walking in a straight line.  Came down the hill on our property, took a turn, and all 21 went in the shed.”  “So,” she said, “I followed them in the shed to see what they were doing.  All 21 chickens laid an egg,” she said, “I gathered all the eggs in a basket, then the chickens went back up the hill.”  She said, “I followed them up the hill.  They all went back about a quarter mile up the hill to the pen they came from.”  And my grandma's super honest.  She knocked on the door, a lady answered, “Hey, can I help you?” She said, “Your chickens got loose, and they laid eggs on my property.  I wanted to know if you'd like them?”  The lady said, “Those can't be our chickens.  My husband hates those chickens.  Ever since he's bought them, they've never laid one egg.”  My grandma said, my grandmother told her, “We don't even own chickens,” she said, “I promise you they're yours.” She said, “If they landed on your property, you can keep them.” 

For the rest of the time that my grandparents lived there, those chickens, every time, every time they started to get low on eggs, the chickens would come back down the hill, go in the shed and lay eggs and leave.  My grandmother never had to clean up after them, she never had to feed them, she never had to build a pen, just collect the blessing!  Hallelujah! And I tell you in the name of Jesus, if all you've known is struggle, when God anoints your head with oil, trouble doesn't find its way to you, the blessing of God will come without your permission.  All you have to do is receive it! 

Transcript of an audio file

"I was reading a cookbook and I discovered that you could make cake with the flower petals, the yellow ones. And I was like, hmm, I don't have any dandelions. So I was like, do I go to the store and buy some? I mean, it's a weed, you know. Do I buy seeds and try to grow them? I didn't want to do that either. So I asked the Lord, 'Can I have some dandelions grow in my backyard?' So I don't know how long it took for them to grow. I don't know the span of time. But after the rainy season, I got this bumper crop of dandelions. I had never grown these in my yard in the 20 years that I’ve lived here. And they were growing on every part of my yard, every nook and cranny, so it wasn't just an isolated piece here. It was on all my hillsides and everything. They didn't grow in my back, in my front yard, they only grew in my backyard. And they were, they were not the typical dandelion. They were like a different variety, but mostly, they were still in the dandelion family. And they were bigger and stuff. And so, I started harvesting them, and I just had so much!  I was giving them away to friends to make food with." "Including me." "Including you. But yeah, I asked the Lord for some dandelions and then Shazam! I had so many, and they have not grown since." 

In her book Creation Waits (1977), Agnes Sanford writes her story about praying for creation, for the land. She explains that this type of intercession is a duty in response to God's command, whereas I have been brought into it as a call to right relationship. Despite this difference, it is all for God's glory, and she writes a very interesting testimony. While living in New England, she began to feel the burden of intercession for something.

“Finally, I said, ‘Lord, what is it?’ and listening for the answer, had the feeling that it was not a person, but a place that needed prayer. ‘Lord, where is it?’ I asked, and listened. There came to my mind the northwestern part of the United States, and it seemed that some calamity threatened that region. ‘May I pray that whatever is to happen may be averted?’ I asked, and listening heard a negative response... ‘May I pray for it to be minimized?’ I asked, and quite distinctly I heard, ‘Yes.’ So for three days I prayed for the Northwest, for the land and area itself, and when not in active prayer I held it as an undercurrent to other thoughts. And then there came the earthquake in the state of Washington which just missed being a really destructive one. And my burden was lifted…”

Agnes did not write when this prayer took place, but from other clues in her message to the Colorado CFO in 1974 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOXwdt_4Q3w) she is referring to the Des Moines, Washington earthquake of April 29, 1965, 6.7 on the Richter scale. Her son was living in Olympia, Washington at the time, so was able to tell her first-hand the effect of that earthquake. She tells in this message that it felt very strange to be called to pray for an area of land, the western part of the Pacific Northwest. This resonates with me. While praying for regular areas of land seems somehow natural, it still feels a little strange to me to talk to insects or shout at a volcano. 

After this, Agnes was called to long-term prayer over the San Andreas fault in California, and she moved from New England to California for this. Her children were located up and down the west coast of the US by this time, so she was also able to be closer to them. God is very kind to us.
