INTRODUCTION:

When Lorna enters a room the love of God comes with her.
Her early life explains some of this.
Something about her is special beyond normal understanding.
I have been married to her for over 35 years.
I have watched her interact with people and it does not change.
This invisible feeling moves some to tears of joy,
others just want to hug her.
And others start confiding their deepest secrets.
I cannot believe it has taken me this long to write her story.

Chapter 1

Dear readers:  a few years ago, my lovely wife Lorna tripped and cut her hand.
I was at work so our daughter Jessica took her to the hospital.
Lorna had cut the tendon and nerves to her fingers.
She needed micro-surgery.
It was a public holiday; no surgeons were on duty.
Lorna knew a lady at church who organised the prayer chain.
When Lorna rang this lady to ask for prayer, this lady told Lorna that her husband was a doctor who happened to specialise in hand surgery.
This lady and her doctor husband were holidaying up the coast.
They drove back to Brisbane to operate on Lorna’s hand.

A week later Lorna went to a mid-week ladies meeting to listen to a speaker called Faylene Sparkes who has a strong prophetic anointing on her life.
This speaker called Lorna out and spoke a word over her.
She said, “The Lord is going to open double doors for you.”

The next day Lorna received a phone call from the doctor’s wife.
She had been in the meeting and heard the word that was spoken.
She said to Lorna, “If the Lord opened double doors would you walk through them?”
Lorna said that she would be willing.

The doctor’s wife began to explain that in 6 weeks she was going to a prophetic conference at Bethel Church in Redding, California.
She had already booked accommodation and a car.
If Lorna wanted to go, all she had to do was book the flights and register for the conference.
The doctor’s wife said that maybe this was a double door.

Because Lorna had injured her hand, she was not able to work.
The doctor’s wife told Lorna to trust God to provide and God did provide generously through the people in Lorna’s church.

Everyone seemed to believe that this was an opportunity that was set in motion by the prophetic word that Lorna had received from Faylene Sparkes.
Before all this came about Lorna did not know the doctor’s wife very well, but now they are the best of friends. The trip was a success.

On one of the flights in America, Lorna sat next to a lady who was married to a Jew.
They both shared their different beliefs and settled down to enjoy the flight.
The Lord started to tell Lorna some things about this lady’s life that Lorna could not have possibly known.

Lorna turned to the lady and said, “You love gardening, don’t you?”
The lady answered, “Yes, I love gardening.”
Then Lorna said, “Your favourite colour is yellow.”
The lady answered, “Yes it is, I have just repainted my kitchen in yellow.”
By now the lady was giving Lorna all her attention.
When they had talked earlier in the flight this lady had mentioned that her husband was a psychiatrist, but had not said what field he was in.
Finally Lorna says,” Your husband specialises in eating disorders.”

These words of knowledge that Lorna received from the Holy Spirit,
caused this lady’s heart to open up.
So that Lorna could tell her about Jesus and his saving grace.

Lorna has always carried the presence of the Holy Spirit on her life.
As you can see, I am a great fan of my wife’s ministry.
Lorna has been at the same church for over 20 years. Nexus Church.
She has been involved in all types of ministry.
And works part-time as the receptionist at the church.

She loves to travel and speak at ladies’ meetings.
But her heart’s desire is to minister in different countries especially in the U.S.A.
Whenever she visits this country, she is amazed at the level of believing that she encounters.

I am asking anyone out there, any Christians in the U.S.A.
If you have a ladies meeting that you would like Lorna to speak at?
Please MESSAGE ME.
My goal is to get her on a plane before the end of the year or early next year.
I would like to surprise her.
