A Miracle Story
Thursday July 30, 1987, started out as just another hot summer day in Ellensburg, Washington, a town of about fifteen thousand souls in a picturesque valley a hundred miles east of Seattle... Read More...
We attend a gym in our neighborhood and regularly see the same folks, walking and working out. We go early and there are not many people there, but occasionally we arrive as the walkers, and Pickle ball participants are checking in.
A month ago a woman introduced herself to me and asked if we were missionaries? The conversation continued and she shared that she was flying soon and was nervous about it. I asked if I might share how God delivered me from fear of flying. This is a piece of my story.
When we were publicizing the Theresa book we were flying quite a bit. I was leaving my children at home and it did not bode well with me. I was often losing sleep, rest and struggling with fear as we went through airports and flew from the NW across the nation.
At one point God began to deal with me. He let me know there was nothing I could do as I was up in the air, and I should trust that my purpose was greater than the fears. When I let that sink in I found I could fly anywhere, alone or with others with no fear. I was able to enjoy the restriction of flying.
In one incident I experienced the worst turbulence ever. It was during Covid and we were all wearing masks. People were screaming, grabbing the chairs, other people and simply losing their minds in fear. I, on the other hand, experienced complete Peace and Joy, and began singing and laughing. (Thankful for the mask)
When the plane landed and rolled up to our gate, people evacuated the plane, running off leaving EVERYTHING behind. I was surprised at how little importance their phones, bags and carry-one items were compared to their lives, and we were safely on the ground.
As I shared this with the woman she seemed encouraged. Fast forward to yesterday. Steve came back from the gym and asked me if I remember talking to Donna?
She indicated her flight was the worst she had ever experienced. She felt the plane might break up, but she remembered our conversation, picturing Steve and I, and was at peace.
Then she dropped this: “The Lord showed me your faces in a dream the day before I met you.” SHE MET US BEFORE SHE MET US.
My heart was thrilled to see how God will encourage and prepare those He loves. So glad He could use me to encourage a new friend to be courageous and trust God.
I hope this encourages you to share your life freely. We never know when it will manifest in a supernatural way. (If I have to be called a missionary, this is the best way. LOL)
Samuel Morse’s First Long-Distance Telegraph Message sent in 1844 asked, “What Hath God Wrought?” I feel like the Lord has given a creation with similar impact in the engineering of a powerful web communication tool at “RevelationConnections.Vision”It’s a new wineskin for new wine.
Thirteen years after conception we have a birth, and It’s time to show the baby! It’s is the biggest project I have ever worked on and I feel a jittery excitement! This tool will revolutionize the way millions of listeners communicate their dreams, visions and prophetic impressions! It will serve every Saint and Christian ministry!
I interview people in hardware and grocery stores, at the gym and farm store with this question; “Has God ever spoken to you through a dream, a vision or a prophetic impression?” Almost invariably I get an affirmative. Often I hear astonishing stories! You also have stories where God has uniquely spoken to you.
Now you have an opportunity to share your revelation experiences with Saints in Chile, Botswana and Georgia! You will also be able to perform complex thematic searches of revelations Saints are having in Turkey, Iceland and Papua New Guinea.
Take time to share you Dream, Vision or Prophetic Impression at RevelationConnections.Vision.The site is new. Your sharing will stoke the fire of world-wide communications so the Church globally will better learn, “What the Spirit is saying to the churches.”
I highly recommend this book, especially for men who want to up their game as encouragers. The articles are brief, upbeat, tender, and tough. During the past two years, almost weekly, I’ve been in prayer rooms and men’s meetings with Steve Johnson—I’ve never encountered a person anointed as much as he is with the gift of encouragement (Romans 12:8). And with his comprehensive writing, Steve continually captures his reader’s attention with vivid, creative lines. Read this book, one chapter at a time; and if you can, find a way to meet this man! Geoff Pope
I found your book to be very encouraging. It calls us to a higher ground. I heard God speaking through the words he gave you to write. I appreciated having his Word to read throughout the book. I especially enjoyed the lessons on wonder, amazement and creativity. I wrote down a quote to pray for friends and family: “May our friends and family who are distant from Yeshua be hit hard by his overflowing kindness, bringing them to true repentance.”
Also, having a background working with special needs children, I was touched by the pool story about Cain. I had many foster children on my case load as a speech language pathologist. Their stories broke my heart and helped lead us to adopt. Thank you for giving me the privilege of reading your book!!” Liela Cuglivan
One of the names of God in the Greek language of the New Testament Scriptures is “parakleet.” It is often translated “encourager.” It is in the very nature of the Creator of the universe to encourage. Always has been. Steve Johnson has tapped into that part of who God is and has learned well how to live that out in real life. Steve excels in being an encourager. And now, he has given us a tool in his book, Compounds of Encouragement, that enables us to become more like our Father in heaven and learn how to encourage others. Easy to read, and once we begin to live out this message, our lives will never be the same. And people around us will be encouraged. This could start a revolution! A revolution of encouragement! Read this book, apply its message, and become a “parakleet” yourself. An encourager like God Himself.Greg Wylie
I have been listening to your new book, compounds of encouragement, for the last hour during my devotion this morning. For me, this demonstrates the very best of Steve Johnson… your amazing capacity to paint truth-telling stories in vivid hues that are eye/heart catching, especially when you read from your own heart. Thank you.
Dr. Harvey R. Brown, Jr., President
In “Wonderment: The Launchpad for Worship” you wrote:”The Scriptures speak of “signs, wonders and miracles.” “Wonder” is always sandwiched between God’s signposts and unique works. I am convinced that as we restore wonder, we will have a vast increase in signs and miracles.” It would be a wonderful devotional and source for Bible study or series of teachings. It is very rich. Each section stands strong just in what it says, they are each nuggets we can meditate on and pray into. Mark Mcconkey
Father has made available to you, Steve, Insightful encouragements and areas that expands into the joy of encouragement to enlarge, enlighten & energize all of us. Thank you Father! Let the Kingdom of Heaven treasures pour upon all. Abundantly!!!! Daniel Odom
PS If you’d be so kind, I’d love to get your review of Compounds! Steve
The resurrection of our Lord gives us courage to go the distance!
Knowing His love and resolve to suffer for us gives us the courage to do the same for Him. He suffered great pain, but no lasting injury. Death was trounced by our victorious Lord!
The resurrection is the Christian’s triumph and store of courage. Because of Him we can go face to face and nose to nose with death. We declare, “ If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”Rom 8:11
We serve THE LIVING GOD!
Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged, “He is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end.”Daniel 6:26
Jeremiah proclaimed, “But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation.” Jeremiah 10:10
Imitation gods are useless. Only the Living God can impart life, and the wisdom and power to live it!
Simon Peter by revelation confessed, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:16
Psalm 56:9 adds the comfort of knowing this Living God is our Advocate standing for our best! “One thing I know. God is for me!” So we have a Living God who is pulling for us. He is in favor of our welfare and positively working for us, and in us.
What a promise our redeemer grants us! “Because I live, You will live also!” When death in its various forms comes knocking we counter, “My Lord Jesus lives! And because He lives I also live!
If our Lord can conquer death, and He can, all the rest is small stuff! Piddly little problems like the car breaking down, crop failure, treachery and terrorism may happen, BUT Jesus is alive!
Make a list of all the challenges and contrast them to Jesus’ victory over the grave.
It’s cold and windy, but Jesus is alive!
I lost my computer file, but Jesus is risen!
Nuclear bombs are popping, but Jesus lives to make intercession for me!
Persecution, the mail coming late, and the sliver in the finger find their proportion when compared to our living Jesus, our Advocate, standing for our total welfare!
If you want courage you can come to our living Jesus and take it this very moment. He said, “In the world you have tribulation. But take courage! I have overcome the world.”
“Fear and anxiety are contagious, so are boldness and courage. Which contagion do you carry?”

This tool will revolutionize the way millions of listeners communicate their dreams, visions and prophetic impressions! It will serve every Saint and Christian ministry!
I interview people in hardware and grocery stores, at the gym and farm store with this question; “Has God ever spoken to you through a dream, a vision or a prophetic impression?” Almost invariably I get an affirmative. Often I hear astonishing stories! You also have stories where God has uniquely spoken to you.
Now you have an opportunity to share your revelation experiences with Saints in Chile, Botswana and Georgia! You will also be able to perform complex thematic searches of revelations Saints are having in Turkey, Iceland and Papua New Guinea.
Welcome to a monumental puzzle party revealing the beautiful face of our Lord Jesus Christ and His now-message for the world-wide Church! The implications have earth-shaking import! As you learn about it you will want to be involved!
Revelation Connections’ goal is to connect Christ’s Body by enabling Saints in every country to communicate and discover what the Holy Spirit is saying to the world-wide Church.
Using advanced technologies believers post their heaven-born revelations in a great data base. Saints around the world then search the posts of others to discover divine intelligence, complementary themes, insights and practical directions, many of which will lead to collaborative ministry.
We are building a highly searchable concordance of The Church’s world-wide depository of contemporary revelations. Jesus prophesied,
“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.” (Luke 18:17)
This means God’s hidden glory is to be fully revealed! It means all people’s actions, thoughts and motives will be brought into the open.
Powerful search engines perform multifaceted topical searches for names, locations, times, words and phrases, linking believers internationally to communicate and discover what the Holy Spirit is now disclosing and bringing out into the open.
Get strapped in and feel the G’s! You have things to discover and things to share. Don’t hold back. Jesus’ high-priestly prayer was, “Let them be one.” The results of oneness is the revealed glory of God! This communication tool is part of the answer to that prayer.
The site is newly launched so we are just beginning to fuel the database. Add fuel to the rocket by submitting the revelations our Lord has given you! Simply click on Submit and take a few minutes to write in one of your revelation experiences!
Search for the things on your heart. Bless others by sharing globally what the Lord is speaking to you. Revelation Connections will link people you already know in revelation ministry, but even more, every saint and christian ministry will be able to share their piece of our Lord’s monumental puzzle, connecting saints in vision and perspective like never before!
Enough talk. Follow the link and begin discovering what the Spirit is saying to The Church today! RevelationConnections.Vision

A friend shared a vision of an angel stirring a large pot. Looking into the pot she saw the angel was stirring Gold. I was immediately taken back to an Aluminum smelter on the Columbia River. The huge ‘pots’ used to melt aluminum were massive, thick, and required intense tools and challenging situations for men to render the metal they were mixing.
The thought came, “What is the temperature for melting gold? Gold is a soft metal and melts at 1,947 degrees F.I meditated on that. Then…Our soft bodies and minds suffering intense situations. Not such a lovely image!
What was the temperature of:
Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness?
The garden of Gethsemane?
The Hebrew children backed against the Red Sea?
David’s return to Ziklag to find his city burned and all their people taken captive?
The temperature of Stephen’s stoning?
Our Persoanl temptations?
These are some of the refining experiences I think of.Is your cross difficult to bare today?Are you feeling lost and alone? The little olive can relate. It is plucked from its source on the treewhere it has grown and filled out and a huge stone is added to crush the seed so the precious and fragrant oil can be poured out.
1 Peter 1:6-8aIn this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be you have been grieved by various trials. That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love.
1 Peter 4: 12-13Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy,
These trials are limited by their season. We will get through them. Keep your focus on Him. See Ecclesiastes 3.
Psalm 66:12You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich abundance.

If your child was abducted, would you fight for their recovery? Let’s say you knew the group who abducted your child, the house where they were captive and the violent men guarding the house. What would you be willing to do to get your child back?
About 240 hostages were taken by the Hamas terrorist group, most Israelis, but a few dozen from other nations. The children pictured here, and more, are among them. A determined fight is ongoing for their recovery, and the end of the terrorists.
In the natural hope for the recovery of the children, men and women is slim. But our God is a compassionate Father. Things impossible with men are possible with God! The Lord will move mountains because of your believing prayer!
Jesus whole ministry is about setting captives free! He ransoms us from sin, condemnation, demons, disease and even death!!! Our Savior delivers from captivity. I urge you to pray with the parents and families of those in bonds. Here are spiritual weapons of war you can take up on behalf of the hostages. Use these verses to pray for Israeli captives to be set free!
There are three real jail-breaks in Acts.
The 11 disciples in Acts 5. “But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the gates of the prison, and taking them out he said, Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life.”
Peter in Acts 12. “And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter’s side and woke him up, saying, ‘Get up quickly.’ And his chains fell off his hands.”
Paul and Silas. in Acts 16. “and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.”
Consider the following verses as weapons for warfare on behalf of captives. We appeal to God’s goodness, his mercy and rescuing power!
Psalms 107:10-13 “He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains.”
Psalm 102:20 “To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to set free those who were doomed to death.”
Nahum 1:13 “So now, I will break his yoke bar from upon you, And I will tear off your shackles.”
Psalm 68:6 “He leads out the prisoners into prosperity.”
Psalm 116:16 “O Lord, surely I am your servant, I am Your servant and the son of Your handmaid. You have loosed my bonds.”
Psalm 146:7 “The Lord sets the prisoners free.”
To this day God has made Himself famous as the Liberator. Thanks to His merciful kindness there are many contemporary jail-break accounts. May they be multiplied to God’s glory! He opened prison doors for Brother Yun in China where the doors seemed to open on their own. He is a wonder-working God!
Isaiah has much to say about captives being freed!!!
Isaiah 61:2 He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedomfor the captivesand release from darkness for the prisoners.
Is 42:22 But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or hidden away in prisons. They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no one to say, “Send them back.”
This verse tells us the captives here have no rescuer strong enough or willing enough to demand release. I pray for God’s angry mercy to demand, “Send them back!“ adding the sense [OR I WILL BLISTER YOU!]
Is 49:25 “But this is what the LORD says: ‘Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save.’”
Is 43:6 “I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth.”
In response to your prayers, may the booming, authoritative voice of the Lamb demand, “Give them up!” “Do not hold them back!” “Send them back!”
MAY THE CAPTORS BE STRUCK WITH A SPIRIT OF PANIC!
1 Sam 14:15 “Then panic struck the whole [Philistine] army—those in the camp and field, and those in the outposts and raiding parties—and the ground shook. It was a panic sent by God.”
Zec 14:13 “And on that day a great panic from the LORD shall fall on them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other.”
JOIN IN PRAYER FOR THE HOSTAGES
Holy Father, Savior of captives, we appeal to Your goodness, mercy and rescuing power!
You told David, “Pursue and recover all.” We speak this word on behalf of the children – clear up through the seniors in Hamas captivity. Sustain their lives and bring them forth!
You sent Your Son to set all kinds of captives free! As Christ’s ambassadors before Your judgment seat we “proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners!”
You hear the groaning of the prisoner, to set free those who were doomed to death.
You tear off the shackles.
You lead out the prisoners into prosperity
You set the prisoners free.
Father may You own voice thunder, “Give them back! Do not hold them back!
Send them back!”
May You send a panic upon the captors causing them to flee, leaving the hostages free!
There is nothing hidden from the eyes of the Lord! Reveal the exact location(s) of the captives! Send Your delivering, rescuing angels as you have many times through the centuries. Send you Heavenly Cavalry to the rescue!
Guide the human rescuers to safely recover these precious souls! Restore them to health and to their families and friends. Bring forth resurrection beauty from the ashes of this atrocity. May sackcloth be turned to joyful dancing!
You said, “call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
Some who prayed for Peter’s release doubted You would answer their fervent prayers, but You graciously answered their prayers! Hear our fervent prayers even in moments when they feel like hope against hope!
Father, You reveal Your true nature in deliverance. Let Your voice resound, “Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save.”
I would like to speak of things happening on our tiny earth, under the eye of God. God’s eyes are able to narrow down microscopically to even see Israel’s war with radical Islam. I would like to speak of matters surrounding this war.
Here is a briefing on:
God’s promise to Abraham and his descendants to possess the holy land.
Our privileged relationship as gentiles to the Jewish believers
The present war between radical Islam and the Jewish people
The broader threat to Christians and the world at large
Our security in Christ Jesus the Lord
And applying our giftings and callings in this hour
We feel shaking in our bodies and grieve with groans and tears for the people of Israel who have felt such barbarism! Our hearts also go out to the Palestinians in Gaza. Most don’t want these Hamas butchers to lead them. But to argue with them could bring deadly reprisals.
Missiles and bullets, brutal killings and abductions. Just watching the suffering on a screen is too much to bare. We know it is so much harder there on the ground!
The nation is now at war and 360,000 reserves have been called up. The language is severe, on the edge of savage, to counter savagery. The word is, Hamas must be wiped out entirely. We are told in Scripture to pray for this nation and God’s purposes for it, as well as his purposes for the nations at large.
There are two ways we may pray. First, Identificationally, praying as if we were there in the nation dodging bullets and missiles, for we know America may yet experience similar things.
The second way to pray is Authoritatively, as those standing with Christ, looking down from the banister of heaven, praying for the tiny planet and the nations below. We stand with Christ, proclaiming Scriptural and Heavenly decrees.
Be mindful, Israel has an infinitely thrilling future as the City of the great King. It is sometimes difficult to see and appreciate this in the midst of the birth pains.
Here is a prayer I invite you to join in:
Dear Lord Jesus, over your cross was posted, “Jesus, King of the Jews.” Today we acknowledge Your kingly authority and right over Israel, and all the nations. We pray that you would be satisfied with the travail of your soul for this land and the people you designed to inherit it. You have kept Your promise to bring Israel back to the land, their eternal inheritance, according to your covenant.
Father, based on your word we pray peace for Jerusalem, consolation for Israel, and this through the revelation of the King. We pray Paul’s wonderful, mysterious word, “So all Israel will be saved.” “Our hearts desire and prayer for them is their salvation.” Dear Father, what better time is than now for this people to see Jesus, in the midst of the rockets’ red glare?
We declare, Israel has only a partial hardening. Partial in duration and partial in intensity. We declare an end to the hardness. Softening hearts now! We pray the revelation of Yeshua Hamashiach, and the Spirit of supplication that they may see the one they have pierced, mourn for him as an only child, and then turn to Him in resurrection reality!
In the present conflict have mercy even if it involves chastening. We pray you would only chasten, and not condemn, just as we pray you would only chasten America and not condemn. We ask Father, how far are You willing to let the grace from the blood of Your Son extend? Make Jerusalem the immovable stone so it’s enemies only injure themselves trying to move it.
Let Your kindness be felt by a nation who has ignored you. Wisdom, courage and power to the defense forces! Secure the boarders! Safety more secure than concrete bunkers. Yeshua, the Strong Tower and Refuge. The fear of the Lord on Israel, and her enemies. And we earnestly pray the release of captive hostages! May this end with a nation in gratitude as they see Your hand achieve these things!
Father you are our great God. Great in judgment, great in mercy, with a glorious Kingdom plan. May your kindness lead the nation of Israel to eye-opening repentance. And let many in the nations who wish to destroy her come to know the King of the Jews as their own sovereign!
Your word tells us, you work all things together for good for those who love you and are called according to your purpose. Grant the fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy that the Jewish people of this land might come to love you. And cause even this war to work together for their good. Remember you have called this people for a special purpose. This is The Day for the fulfillment of all things.
Let a rumble rise from the soil of this land calling out, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Amen!
Please continue to pray for Israel. As you share in her tribulations you will share in her blessings.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.” For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your prosperity. Ps 122:6-9
I apologize that our entire mailing list received a private blog labeled, “Protected: Revelation Connections Home and About Materials!” Please delete this.
This was private material for a select few regarding a big project we are working on. In the near future we hope to publish this project to everyone but the baby is not ready to be birthed. I checked four times to insure only the selected recipients receive the notice and password. But Mailchimp sent out the notice to everyone.
On a very different note, please pray for Israel! Hamas is causing great mischief and Israel has declared a state of war! It is an unprecedented situation with volatile implications for the whole world, meaning all of us no matter where we live.
