As I began to pray an anointing came on me and it seemed to me that I was speaking the words of God, it was pretty strong. I was pretty sure it was from God and this is what I said, this is what I knew in my heart God was saying to D (I’m doing this from memory so the words may not be exactly right but they’re pretty close.):
