Acknowledgements
H ere I am writing acknowledgments when I am still in awe that this book is in your hands! First of all I want to thank Jesus, my Savior and my Lord for how He surprised me with all of this. He is such a good Father and He loves to surprise His kids with great gifts!
Second, I want to thank my parents Randall and Gaila Carroll. Thank you, Daddy, for always being my biggest fan. Even when I thought no one really cared or noticed you always showed the true Fathers heart in how you loved me. To my amazing, praying, powerhouse momma who fought off every devil in my life when I didnt know how to do it myself and still today, thank you for always being there for me and the family. Mom, I am the woman I am today because of you! I honor and cherish you both more than you know and love you both so much! Daddy, just like I promised you, I will be busy about the Fathers business until we meet again in Heaven.
I would like to thank my amazing husband, Chad Osborne. Babe, thank you for all the hours of agreeing with me in prayer and what seemed like thousands of hours editing these words. I could have never done this without your support and words of encouragement. You are a true gift to me and our family, standing on the Word of God for our lives. I love you!
To my incredible kids Kody, Kelton, and Kelsey, my sonin-law, Ryan, and my daughter-in-law, Anna, and all my beautiful grandbabiesLandon, Jaydon, Leilani, and Ezekelthank you all for allowing me to make mistakes and for loving me without judgment! Thank you for supporting me. Thank you, Kody and Kelsey, for speaking life to me when I felt unqualified and beaten down. To my strong son, Kelton, thank you for being such an example of strength and love to me. You all taught me how to truly love, forgive, and encourage, and, more importantly, you helped me see how the Father can look in the faces of His children and find such joy in each of them! I love you guys to the moon and back!
I want to thank my spiritual grandfather and my Papaw, Dr. Norvel Hayes, for taking me in as one of the family! Thank you for all the hours that you poured into me as I was growing up and all the times you told me to just sit there and watch Holy Spirit move, which He always did so powerfully! Thank you for teaching me to resist the devil and to keep the Gospel simple. I love you, Papaw, and Ill keep on casting out devils in the name of Jesus until I see you again in Heaven.
Finally, a most sincere thank you to all the ones who have labored with me in the Spirit to get this book outApostle Ryan and Joy LeStrange, Robert and Eleanor Roehl, and Kevin and Kathi Zadai, and to Larry Sparks and Destiny Image for taking a risk on an unknown author! I honor and love you all!

I n the early hours of the morning on September 26, 2016, I was still asleep when a light in my bedroom caused me to open my eyes, and standing next to me was an angel. I had certainly been aware of angelic activity in a few instances before in my life, but I had never seen an angel in a full and tangible form before. The first thing I noticed were his crystal-like and strikingly green eyes that had an incredible shine and luster. They were sharp and piercing, yet I can best describe them as if love, peace, and acceptance radiated directly from them. I didnt notice much more about the angel at that moment because the presence of Heaven had filled the room.
The next thing I knew, the angel had taken my hand and we were instantaneously transported to a place above what appeared to be the boardroom of the enemy, almost as if we were looking in from a one-way window. The room I saw was about the size and shape of a large conference room, and in the middle of the room was a rectangular table with personalized places for each spirit to sit. Their seats were not marked with their names but each one was custom fitted for the size and shape of that spirit, and even their section of the table had an indentation cut out for them to slide into. On the table were what looked like papers or transparent documents and oddly enough a Bible. There was a gray hazy fog or smoke throughout the room, but not too thick to see through.
