The Whipping Post An Early Morning Revelation 1/17/19 By Mary Ann Wray “So then Pilate took Jesus and had Him scourged (flogged, whipped). And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe around Him; and they kept coming up to Him, saying [mockingly], “Hail, King of the Jews [Good health! Peace! Long life to you, King of the Jews]!” And they slapped Him in the face .” John 19: 1-3 AMP As I awoke this morning I had a quick vision. I saw Jesus’ back being torn to shreds by the cat of nine tails while he stood silently tied to a Roman Scourging Column. There He stood; totally innocent of any wrong doing and being punished for being righteous. He told me today “Write about the whipping post.” I asked, “Lord, why do you want me to write about the whipping post?” He said, “I want my people to see that it’s one thing to suffer for wrong doing but it’s another to suffer for love and righteousness.

Concealed but Revealed to Heal! Mary Ann Wray "He who the Son sets FREE is FREE indeed!" John 8: 36 So after a series of extremely disappointing and unfortunate events at the last church/ ministry we were part of and in leadership for over 5 1/2 years, the Lord has been taking me through a deep process of self awareness and healing. This is now month # 11 since we departed there and He's still healing me. It has been tough at times, but WONDERFUL at the same time. I appreciate small groups, conferences and workbooks for getting knowledge and some level of freedom etc., BUT there is no TEACHER better than the Holy Ghost. God is much more patient with us than ourselves and other people. There is NO QUICK FIX in the Kingdom of God regarding the heart of man. Yes, I believe in miracles and they happen, but I have come to realize that when it comes to our mind, will and emotions, God is VERY patient and kind and there is always tension between us and ...
A Disciple Revival! By Pastor Mary Ann Wray Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19 I was saved in the 1970’s during the Jesus Movement and Charismatic Renewal. Raised as a Roman Catholic I had no clue what having a personal relationship with Jesus meant, much less the reality of the Holy Spirit. God apprehended me in a Catholic Charismatic prayer meeting and my life was forever changed! Back then, a lot of emphasis was placed on discipleship and small groups. I thank God for that because I don’t think I would have survived the following years without this as a foundation in my life. I believe that discipleship started to lose its emphasis and become somewhat of a ‘lost art’ in the 1980’s with the onset of televangelism, Word of Faith and Healing Ministries. This is not to say these things were wrong; I believe they were part of great moves of the Spirit and church res...
