Book Review: As the Deer Pants for Streams of Water
As the Deer Pants for Streams of Water
Written by Michelle Addison Jones
Reviewed by Theresa Harvard Johnson
If I were to list two things that we all share along life’s journey, I would place the words “love and loss” at the top of that list. Why? Well, they are both as common to the progression of our existence as air and water.
In her book, “As the Deer Pants for Streams of Water,” author Michelle Addison Jones pulls into the drive-way of deep pain, gets out of the vehicle, walks to the other side and opens the passenger door — inviting you to sit down, buckle up; and courageously embrace your highway to healing and renewed joy.
She transparently reveals her trials; and triumphantly unveils the power of God that carried her through the loss of her beloved Father, Leonard Harry Addison, to Alzheimer’s disease.
Are you really a Christian “fiction” writer? (2)

Christian writers, do you know who you are? It is Father’s desire in this hour to have each one of us come to Him for clarity and understanding concerning our call. There is such a NEED in the earth realm for Holy, set apart scribes of the King. As believers of Yeshua, we are literally living in Him — breathing, moving and having our being. Our pursuit is for a constant manifestation of His presence and demonstration of His power.
Consider that final sentence for a moment.
It is quite ironic that Christian writers live in anticipation of and under the power of words, yet are the very ones who walk in darkness concerning the terminology used to describe who they are and what they do. Truly, the adversary is shrewd and cunning in his deception. His tactics work so well that we often build our entire identities concerning our writing ministries on patterns set by this world’s educational system and deny the power in identity rooted firmly in the Lord — even taking offense. There’s this need to hang on to the literary merit system for dear life — including its labels, ideologies and beliefs even when they completely contradict the Word on so many levels.
Something is sorely wrong with this picture.
For those reading this article, I challenge you with this before reading any further: “Give Ruach Hakodesh, Holy Spirit, permission to help you read the remainder of this article from Father’s perspective. Ask Him to take away any places of offense or agitation as we move forward.” This is important, because I don’t want you to hear me or see me. I want you to question whether or not this message sounds like something Father would share with His writers — His scribes — if He were standing right here teaching and instructing us. Completely ignore the messenger and grab hold of the message — and listen, just for a moment, to what Father is presenting to you.

Word of the Lord: Moving Heaven & Earth For You
Released Through Theresa Harvard Johnson
April 11, 2012
Quick background info. This word was released to a specific group of people at an event focused on healing and deliverance. Father released me, however, to share it on a broader level.
This morning as I prepared for my day, Father said this to me: “Beloved, I will move Heaven and earth to get just one of my chosen vessels where I need them to be? I am calling my people to believe that I will do it.“
Hebrews 12:26 CJB, “Even then, his voice shook the earth; but now, he has made this promise: “One more time I will shake not only the earth, but heaven too!”
In the realm of the Spirit, I saw floods, fires and rains upon the earth. I was reminded of earthquakes and storms in the scriptures, in which, Father used nature to grab hold of the attention of His people and release His will. He even reminded me of several raging and pivitol “spiritual storms” in my life — that at the time — seemed impossible to overcome. In doing so, my spirit was quickened in knowing this simple truth: I survived and was transformed, matured and strengthened in the process.
