Unit Building where she was living. These UNITS are located near cypress
street in WM near Silmons. Surprisingly, Ashley was very receptive. She
had already heard good feedback from her RV neighbor about Hannah and
I and I really think that helped out. Ashley knew I had already made multiple
attempts to connect with her. VISIT W/ ASHLEY: So I visited with Ashley
for about 45 minutes that Thursday night in August. Ashley seemed to be
coherent and was receptive to all that I had to say to her. I remember telling
Ashley, "There is a more excellent way than this for you Ashley” “The Lord
has more for you than this life” You Matter... When you decide to walk away
from this life He will use you to RESCUE OTHERS... I just began to
prophesy to her while she was in her CAPTIVITY... Sounds a lot like Isaiah
61 Where the captive becomes the one who rebuilds the ruined cities and
ancient ruins... Ashley allowed me to pray with her before leaving and we
had a powerful prayer together. As I drove away Ashley's Ex-Girlfriend drove
up to bring Ashley a pizza. I'm thinking to myself, "Wow, just like the enemy
to try and take away the seed of God I just planted” The enemy wasted no
time... I left not knowing how things would transpire.
The following Tuesday night Hannah and I were ministering over in Jonesboro
Hodge at Hope Chapel. During the invitation time the Spirit of the Lord was
moving powerfully among this new church plant - 3 teen boys came forward
to get baptized that very evening - so we took them to a swimming pool :-).
This was the night I got a text message from Ashley Evans brother Ryan who
is a very close friend of mine. Ryan let me know that a big step had been
taken by Ashley to go into DETOX at Brentwood in Shreveport. Another person
very instrumental in helping Ashley during this process was a friend of the owner
of the storage building units. Her name is Anita. Anita would prove to be a feisty
little lady that stood her ground to Ashley and helped Ashley to put feet to
her faith. This really was a major step by Ashley. I was celebrating with JOY.
