"2009" was an incredibly challenging year for me, with the loss of my father and wife - two months apart! Almost two years prior to their deaths, while interceding and worshipping, I had an "open vision" of both my father and wife passing; and I immediately went into travail... For over two hours, a cry that surpassed the deepest groaning and most violent tears, poured out of me - like a floodgate! At first, I thought God was "showing me" so that I could curb or change what was being revealed, by the Spirit; but instead, HE was preparing me for the forthcoming affliction and attack that were permitted against my father and my wife...
