Memorial Day is the day we honor those who gave their lives, paying the ultimate price for freedom. Not only for the freedom of this nation but for the nations of the world that stand for liberty.
On today’s episode of Tuesdays with Tina, I’ve invited my husband, the Reverend Michael Wurschmidt (or as he prefers, Pastor Mike), to share why this day is so special for the both of us along with a history of our ministry to homeless veterans in Pittsburgh.
In addition, I’m excited to share the new release of a powerful song, Freedom Isn’t Free, by my friend Kat. Join me in today’s episode of Tuesdays with Tina and watch now!

I HEARD THE LORD SAY “AS YOU COME TO ME, I AM REMOVING THE LENS OF LOSS AND REPOSITIONING YOU IN EXPECTANCY”
Recently I heard the Lord speaking over many that have been through an intense season of trauma and loss. The Lord was highlighting perspective and how what many had been through had shifted their lenses. The Lord showed me that because of the trauma many had endured they were now looking at life through lenses of ‘loss’ and lenses of ‘death’. Expectancy of hope, the confident expectation of good, hope and restoration, had been lost. I felt the Lord’s heart so strongly for these ones. There was a tangible sense of the comfort of the Lord and the healing and deliverance by His Spirit from these traumas and at the same time, there was a strong call to “COME UP HIGHER” and to see from His perspective and the LENS OF LIFE. HIS LENS!
There was such a strong sense in this encounter that the shifting of the lens was taking place in the secret place. It was IN and FROM the place of intimacy. It was IN and FROM the place of “Coming to Him”.
There was such a limited view that had come through the places of trauma. I knew in this encounter that many were still living IN trauma and FROM trauma and it was affecting every area of their lives. I saw it affecting their physical bodies, their emotional health, their spiritual health, their mental health, relationships and the trauma that had brought a LID upon their life. But NO MORE.
In “coming to Him” and allowing the Spirit of God to minister to the parts of their hearts where trauma has come, I watched as tears flowed like rivers. I watched as tears of healing were happening as Jesus stepped into those places of trauma and by His Spirit, He brought total freedom and total restoration. I watched as Jesus stepped in, repentance flowed for looking through the lens of trauma. I watched as Jesus stepped in, there was a breath of life by His Spirit that was entering their hearts again. As Jesus stepped in, there was an eviction notice to the enemy by the Spirit of God, where the enemy had come and brought SUCH torment into the lives of these precious saints, because of the trauma they had endured. The landing place of the enemy in their lives on the ‘landing pad’ of trauma was NO MORE. The Lord was closing the door.
I then began to see the very places where these traumas and losses had taken place, the Lord was breathing upon those places and He spoke “These are NOW the places of flourishing. These are NOW the places of life. These are NOW the places of My resurrection life. These are NOW the places of great increase. These are NOW the places of radical recompense. These are NOW the places of rapid restoration.” There was SUCH a turnaround that the Lord brought by His Spirit that could ONLY be done by His Spirit.
What trauma had stolen, the Lord was now supernaturally bringing forth healing, deliverance and restoration in a way that only HE could do. I watched as supernatural alignment was taking place in bodies, minds, relationships, spiritual health, and circumstances. Trauma no longer had a voice. The enemy no longer had a voice in these traumas as healing flowed by His Spirit and His Rhema word into these places of trauma and changed the narrative, changed the landscape and changed the perspective.
I then heard the Lord say “You will NO LONGER look through the lens of loss. I am removing that lens of loss and I am repositioning you in EXPECTANCY. Where many of you have suffered so much torment in your mind and discerning My voice, the spinning of confusion in discerning what I am saying, that is now breaking and I am bringing clarity in hearing My voice again. I am INCREASING your expectancy as I am breathing upon you. I am calling you up higher, come up higher, by going deeper into pursuing Me in intimacy and go deeper in My Word to receive the revelation and panoramic view that I am releasing to you. Not only am I removing the lens of loss, but I am also increasing your vision to SEE as I SEE. Consecrate yourselves deeper in this time to listen to what I am saying and continue to cry out for the higher perspective, My perspective that I am ushering you into. For in your crying out, in your desperation for Me, I am stretching you and making room for the MORE that I am releasing to you now as I remove this lens of loss. Many of you have felt like the traumas you have endured almost killed you and the confusion and torment it brought has kept you stuck and contained, NO MORE. Today is a new day that I am delivering you into greater EXPECTANCY.”
“Sevenfold restoration, sevenfold repayment and double recompense are upon you. I am delivering you and bringing you into a place of seeing what I am doing and hearing what I am saying like never before. I am working deeply on that place of perspective and expectancy. Make room by partnering with Me in what I am doing in your perspective and expectancy, as great expanse and increase are upon you.”

Because of her beauty and boldness, Esther found special favor to go before the King. Like Esther, we are always invited to come before God’s throne, day and night, because of the blood of his Son Jesus.
On this third episode in the Esther series we’ll hear more of her story, and how her prayer and intercession changed everything for the people of Israel.
Intercession prepares the way for our sovereign God to move on the hearts of people to reveal the lies, break the deception and allows the Word of God to hit the mark. Join me today to learn more! (Or, catch up on Part I & Part II here in case you missed them!)

Esther shows us a powerful, symbolic example of the relationship between worship and intercession. By identifying with her people and preparing herself through prayer and fasting, Esther received the strategy she needed to go before the king. This principle is seen in so many instances throughout Scripture and is vital to understand as we seek God’s plan for our lives and world.
Intercession itself is a sacrificial act. We pray on behalf of others, humbling ourselves and identifying with them in a very personal way. As we do so the Lord changes our heart and reveals His perfect strategy. Are you willing to go to God first and wait on Him for your next steps?
Behold the Lamb
Words and Music by Tina Wurschmidt
Copyright 2015 - Three Streams Publishing
Worthy is the Lamb, the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world
Worthy is the Lamb, who humbly left His throne, to put on our flesh and bones
And His Kingdom came, and this world would never be the same
He forgave our sins, in the Power of His Father's Name for You and me
Behold the Lamb, Behold the Lamb
Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world
Holy is the Father whose eyes are too pure to look upon this evil world
Holy is the Father who had to look away from His own Son upon that day
And as the Son cried out, Father why have you forsaken me
In that moment separated by the sin that He was carrying for You and Me!
For God sent His Son in the fullness of time
This perfect spotless Lamb, came to bleed and die
He rose from the grave with the power to save
All who put their trust in His Holy Name
Behold the Lamb, Behold the Lamb
Behold the Lamb of God who gave his life to conquer sin and death
Behold the Lamb of God who gave his life to conquer sin and death
Hallelujah, He has risen, Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah, He has risen, Hallelujah to the Lamb
Behold the Lamb
How can we most effectively pray about the current events happening in our world?
Years ago, the Lord gave me a beautiful dream from the book of Esther that initiated an incredible journey into a life of intercession. In today’s episode of Tuesdays with Tina I will share that story along with examples of Biblical prayer and intercession that moves the heart of God to action.
I pray that the mantle of authority in prayer would be passed on to you as you listen to today’s message and that you would be mobilized to pray from God’s own heart.
Blessings,

From Daniel chapter 2; depiction of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream
As we take a look at current global events through the lens of Scripture, it’s clear that God is activating the army of His people to expose and push back against the dark forces at work in our world. On today’s episode of Tuesdays with Tina I’ll discuss the globalist agenda that’s playing out, plus some personal stories and what the Lord is showing me through all of this.
We know that it is not by might, not by power, but by His Spirit that we can rise up and conquer the evil at work in the world to bring in a harvest of souls in the mighty end time outpouring that is to come.

Globalism and the transhuman agenda
“History began when humans invented gods and it will end when humans become gods,” said Yuval Noah Harari, an outspoken transhumanist and popular speaker at the World Economic Forum. As a historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, his ideas and warnings for the future have been called revolutionary, provocative and alarming. We need to understand and take our places as watchmen on the wall as transhumanism gains steam.

Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, obedient to his spoken word.
Psalm 103:30
Over the past few weeks we’ve learned about angels who deliver messages, angels who minister to us and protect us, and angels who are sent to heal. But before they can do any of that important work, angels are called to wait—and wait to be called.
As believers, we have an important part to play in mobilizing angels. There are angels just waiting for us to pray what is on God’s heart back to Him so that they can get to work!
Join me in today’s episode of Tuesdays with Tina as we explore the vital role we play in mobilizing God’s angels through prayer, along with some incredible real-life stories and implications within our current world.

Boomerangs, by Dutch Sheets
God often used allegorical pictures in Scripture to present a truth or concept. From referring to Christ as a lamb or His Word as a seed and sword, Holy Spirit frequently used the physical realm to picture spiritual truths. He still does so today and recently gave my brother, Tim, an interesting word regarding boomerangs and highways. I believe you will be encouraged by the following word.
“We are in days of shaking and change. Hebrews 12 tells us that everything which can be shaken will be shaken. It also says we are part of a Kingdom that cannot be shaken. The shaking will set believers free to be the true New Testament church – an Ekklesia that rules and reigns with our King.
My friend Amy returns again on this week’s episode of Tuesdays with Tina. During these times of trial throughout the world, this is one conversation that is sure to encourage. Amy explains how the Lord draws us near to him during times of shaking, and how we can draw closer into a personal relationship with Him through worship and praise. Hear more on what the Lord is saying to his church today, plus some links to words, worship and, of course, testimonies of angel encounters! I hope you’ll join me in watching this week.

You Are Being Positioned for Purity and Authority
Kathi Pelton
3/18/2022
The body of Christ is in a divine preparation time that will bring forth a deep purity of heart. This purity is required so that she can walk in a greater level of authority then she has walked in prior to this time.
So many of his sons and daughters are yielding to the refining process that he has initiated by God. A posture of surrender is required in order to willingly yield to his refining fire. He does not force it, he invites us into the process of purification.
This is a time to be intentional about your positioning and purity. It is a time to partner with the Spirit of the Lord to fully allow the purification process to bring forth gold. Recently I heard a story about how the refinement of gold takes many steps— but the final step is when they extract the silver from the gold. Though silver is a desirable and valuable metal, it too, must be removed to have pure gold.
Like the silver, God is extracting even the things that the world considers valuable from his bride so that she is found pure and without mixture. In John 14:30 Jesus says that “…the ruler of this world approaches but he will have no power over me.” Some versions say, “…he has nothing in me.” The refinement process is a process that brings protection as well. It removes the impurities and the mixture, so that we too can say, “he has nothing in me!”
As we prepare to enter the season of spring, I hear the familiar verses from Song of Solomon 2,
“My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land; The fig-tree ripeneth her green figs, And the vines are in blossom; They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, In the covert of the steep place, Let me see thy countenance, Let me hear thy voice; For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. Song of Solomon 2:10-14
There is an invitation to come away with our beloved in a sacred romance, yet the following verse brings a warning because the evil one desires to destroy the purity and intimacy between the Lord and his bride.
“Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes, That spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in blossom.” Song of Solomon 2:15
The vineyards bloom before the tender fruit is seen upon the vines. If protected, each tiny flower will become a piece of fruit on the vine. Each one makes up clusters of grapes which will be pressed to yield new wine. But, the enemy sends foxes, EVEN LITTLE FOXES, in to spoil the blossoms before they can become fruit. We must partner with the Spirit to catch even the “little foxes” that have come to destroy our tender blossoms.
God is even going after the “silver” so that we are pure gold and the enemy will find no place in us to release his foxes.
There is a new level of authority that we will be entrusted with in the days ahead but we cannot walk in this authority and remain protected if we are not first purified from mixture. God is refining the motives of our heart, he is removing offenses, he is asking for us to forgive those who have offended us, he is removing judgements from our hearts and he is purifying love.
This is our protection— purity is protection because we cannot be a “house divided.” This is a divine work of the Holy Spirit and yet, it takes our surrender and cooperation. We must say, “Purify and search my heart, Lord.”
Just as Queen Esther went through many stages of purification or beautification before approaching her king— we too must be prepared before we watch demonic decrees overruled by righteous rulings. We have just passed through Purim, the celebration of when Esther’s act of approaching her king (even revealing her Jewish bloodline— the king had just signed a decree to have all Jews killed) was used to save the her people. I sense that between Purim and late Spring (through May) that we are to intentionally partner and cooperative with our Beloved to “catch those little foxes” that have been sent to destroy thr blossoms and the formation of the tender fruit.
We say, “Extract even the silver, Lord” We come to buy gold— pure gold. We yield to your refining fire that purifies, protects and promotes us into new levels of authority that will nullify demonic decrees and establish righteous justice and mercy over people groups and nations.
