To read Letters of Recommendation...
Hebrews 9:8-10 (King James Version)
8The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
10Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
Jerry & I want to wish you all a Happy Resurrection day and let you know what a blessing you all are to us. Today is the 6 year anniversary of when we launched IMentorU online. We have seen some ups, and of course we have also been through some down's...lol. We lost the forums for about a month once due to technical issues, and had to completely recreate them elsewhere. Then out of the blue they reappeared one day so we went back to the originals. I personally have gone through many times when I have prayed and asked the Lord whether He wanted me to close them up entirely, but each time I heard the Lord say 'No'. Then, this last November another ministry I was involved in went from forums to the Ning Network and once I saw all that the Ning Network offered to its members I just had to move our forums yet again. We have experienced the tremendous joy of having new people join, and we have also endured the sadness we felt when some walked away. Many of you that are still here with us now have been with us for many years and we can't even begin to tell you how much we love and appreciate you. To those who sacrifice daily because they are Moderators we can't say enough about how precious you are to us. It is our hope that this posting will help you to meditate just a little on what IMentorU has meant to you. Who have you met, what have you learned? Do you have friends today that you didn't have before you came, did you make divine connections that you know only God could put together? As I write this today I am reminded of all the love, friendships, fellowship and mentoring that happens here at IMU. If the Lord should remind you of anything while you are reading this please consider taking the time to share it with the rest of us. Do you have a testimony about IMU? If so I am sure everyone would love to hear it and I know Jerry & I would. We speak blessings over each and every person who reads this posting. May the Lord restore all that has been stolen from you. May He bless you for being such a blessing to us and we pray also that you are willingly allowing His Spirit to touch you, teach you and transform you from the inside out. It is our greatest desire that somehow IMentorU has or is changing your life. We are honored to have been part of your lives and we hope that in the last 6 years we have at least in some small way been a part of equipping (you) the Saints, reforming the church (meaning individually) and healing the hurting. We love you and thank you all for great 6 years...
Yielding to His Call, Jerry & Sheryl York
Preface...
Do not get offended at me for this dream. I am not the dream giver and I don't believe that the enemy gave me this dream either. I believe that it has spiritual significance for us into the next few years and that we as Believers and a prophetic people should take heed when our brothers and sisters in Christ are unafraid to share what they believe God may be saying. You will each interpret this dream as you will, but I know in my heart that dark times are coming and many things are being hidden from you and me.
A DREAM I had on 2/8/2009...
Now I was walking down a street in any City. I looked around and I could see that there was a darkness over the City. It was almost like a cloud of darkness. It was almost indescribable except to say that it wasn't beautiful, sunny and bright, but heavy, dark, thick and foggy. I couldn't see people clearly until I was pretty much upon them and then when I was upon them I could see the intentions of these people were evil. I am not a horror movie watcher and never have been, but that is what they reminded me of. People who come out after dark to do things that they want hidden in darkness yet now it was so dark they could come out all the time. Evil permeates through their blood and all they seem to want is to feast on the pain and suffering of others. I turned and confronted 3 men whose intentions to-wards me I knew and simply told them to stay away from me and that I knew their plans. They didn't touch me.
On the other side of this same street there appeared to be a huge building. Maybe a City office building or something. Many of you have driven through towns I am sure where they have a Town Square and within that square is a huge building where many City offices are held. At least that is what it looked like. The side I was walking through seemed dark and dreary, while on the other side I saw our new President Barack Obama walking merrily along the way. On his side of the street it was beautiful and light. There were no awful people near him trying to hurt or harm anyone. No Secret Service agents watching his every move. He was simply walking on the sidewalk on that side of the street just as I was on my side smiling along the way.
Later on in the dream we are both at the same place. We are in a home I believe and it is a casual setting. He is talking to someone and I ask him. "Mr. Obama, I mean President Obama don't you see the darkness that is trying to take over? Can't you see the evil people that are out there trying to hurt and harm others? He looked directly at me and simply said 'No."
I was pretty stunned. He was under the impression that everything was beautiful and lovely and yet for some reason I was seeing darkness coming more and more. Then as I was leaving this house I saw President Obama in a room with a lady who was wearing red. They didn't know I was there listening, but I peeked in and saw that she was dressed to the nines in red and no it wasn't his wife and no he wasn't doing anything improper before anyone thinks I am accusing him. The woman who appeared to be beautiful and beguiling was speaking to him and I saw fear upon him as he spoke. He even appeared to be shaking a little as he talked with her, but I didn't sense that his fear was of her, but rather of me. As I listened I could hear him telling this woman in red that I knew. He told her that I could somehow see what was really going on and what was coming and he didn't know what to do about it. She of course told him not to worry about it. I was only one person and I would be no problem at all. The End
My friends, this part of the dream shook me the most. Why? Because I am not just one person that is set here on earth not to cause any problems. I am a child of the King and as many of you have prophetic vision. I am not like Elijah who thought he was the only one. I know that there are countless men and women of God, Intercessors, Apostles, and Prophets alike who sense (not from the news or media), but from God Himself, that our Country is heading in the wrong direction and that the people spoke loudly and were given what they wanted. The Elections are over and I am not trying to get your vote, but I am saying to you (whether you agree with me or not) that we are now under the leadership of a King Saul type. A man who will rule without the counsel of God and a man who will walk in jealousy and do ALL THAT HE CAN to silence the Godly voices or wisdom around him like Saul did to David who was called to be King himself.
Please continue to pray with me. The lady in red may be a Jezebel, but we must refuse to go hide in caves again while she rules. One final thing about this woman in red who was dressed to the nines and seemed to be so beautiful and beguiling to Mr. Obama is this. Her face was not normal as yours or mine. She had the appearance of beauty, but her lips and nose were not there. She actually had a beak in the place of her lips. It too was red and matched with her clothing, but she did not speak from natural lips with ruby red lipstick or something. She was speaking through a red beak.
Thank you for praying through this with me,
Sheryl L. York

Dear Ones,
IMentorU is and has always been a place where people come to share and learn what God might be saying in their dreams. Even people who are seasoned in interpreting the dreams of others can have a little trouble interpreting their own. In fact this is not unusual at all and is often times why I post my own dreams for help as well.
I recently posted a dream in our ZP Room and I also sent that dream to friends in the ministry that I knew would pray and to those I knew would seek the Lord and respond. I have been blown away by the response and I have to say that while the revelation has been pouring in I have been forced to re-think the entire dream over and over again. One ministry friend that I sent my dream to I remember specifically saying these words; "I don't sense that it has anything to do with what is happening right now with the Stimulus Package." Wow, was I wrong. This dream had EVERYTHING to do with the latest Stimulus Bill that was passed and God chose to inform me in advance that dark days were ahead.
To see my original post of the dream and a few of the interpretations sent to me please Click Here, but remember if you are not an IMentorU member you must first register and be approved. I have received phone calls and response letters that I may post or share with you in the future, but I received this interpretation from our own Apostle Teddy Bear (Luis E. Chaves) a few days back and it too really opened things up for me.
I too have been praying not just for your weather situation, but also your dream/vision. Looking at the lady in red with the bill, shows me something very interesting in the area of finances. When one is in the red, that is called, "being in debt!" Hence, this is what's picking at the governmental authority you dreamed of. Not to mention that Pres. Obama has a very interesting meaning to all his names. I will show you what I mean in a few lines. We must definitely be in heavy duty prayer and intercession for our President and the rest of our government.
The meaning of Our President's full name is:
Barack -- Blessed one
Hussein -- Handsome one
Muhammad -- Praised
Obama -- He that is crooked or slightly bending
Many don't know that Pres. Obama actually has a fourth name, what a surprise . . . hmmmm . . .
Hence, this dream has many interpretations, most of what is being shown is that there is quite a concerted effort by many other evil sources throughout the world to bring this nation down. When we do intercession for this country, we must be very careful to destroy all backlash, wash our hands (physically) once done praying, and making sure all our family and loved ones are protected by the Blood of the Lamb.
Beloved,
As Christians we are coming into a season that will be dark and difficult. I know, I know. I am preaching doom and gloom aren't I? Well my friends I still believe that our wonderful Lord will provide and protect us supernaturally, but what I mean is that all around us darkness is about to fall. In the darkness of the dream (which was supposed to be daylight) people with terribly evil intentions were lurking. What this says to me is that the evil hearts of men will no longer be hidden in darkness, but will now be present in and around us even through out the day. God's Word tells us not to be afraid of the terror at noon day Beloved. My point of sharing this isn't to scare you, but to help you to see that now more than ever you must be able to discern the intentions of those around you. Evil will no longer be something that is just hidden behind the cloak of darkness, but will be walking right next to you and I on the street. In the dream I knew and I turned and confronted the man telling him not to touch me that I knew his intentions.
The President walking on the other side of the street says alot in the dream as well. Whether you are Democrat or Republican or consider yourself Left or Right. The reality is these two different names/terms came because we have such different hearts and mindsets. We have different ideas for America and its people and so in the dream he is walking on the other side of the street because he and I (Christianity) can not walk together. The Bible says that two cannot walk together except they be agreed. I do not agree with President Obama on anything at all and so that is where I stand and I refuse to be afraid to say so.
He is walking by a building that is Governmental in nature because that is what he represents. Big Government. Men who in my opinion don't see reality, but who walk in some euphoric state and deceive themselves into believing that 'everything is going to be alright now that they are in power.'
This part of my post may be offensive to you and if so all I can do is apologize, but our new President who calls himself a Christian may be someone who believes he has met Jesus as Savior, but he most definitely cannot be someone who knows Jesus as Lord. Why do I say this? His stand on the issues of life, when life begins and when we have rights to make those decisions are completely against God. In Bible times it was men who had very evil hearts who allowed the children to be taken away from their families and murdered before their eyes. Even in Moses days with Pharaoh God warned and warned what would come, but it was Pharaoh who spoke the death of the first born and not God.
Later in the dream I boldly ask President Obama if he can see what is happening. His answer is quite troubling for a man who is supposed to be leading our great Country as he replies with the word "No". However, if we continue in the dream we find that President Obama is hiding behind a door talking with the woman in red. He is shaking and telling her that 'I know'. What this says to me is that he actually can see at least some of what is going to come, but he doesn't care and whether it is because of ambition or pride he doesn't have any intentions of changing it.
For those that believe that President Obama isn't afraid of Christians or Conservatives you might take some time to study up a little on how he and his team handled things any time anyone either in or out of the Media asked him a question that he didn't want to answer. Although this isn't the first time we have had a Nominee or his Campaign Staff boycott Radio Stations, Television Interviews and Magazines, it is the first time that they used their power and intimidation to try to get people terminated from positions and have places closed down entirely simply for not agreeing with them on issues. The voices they want to silence are you and me dear ones. They have a target and that target is Conservatives. Even now President Obama along with many other Democrats are concocting a new law and I will quote this from Newsmax Publications...
"Their weapon: a revived Fairness Doctrine, which would once again require stations to air divergent points of view ? a clever ruse that makes station owners leery of airing controversial talk-radio hosts fearing law suits and federal sanctions."
Note the word revived. There is nothing wrong with having a Fairness Doctrine in place. We are a Country who is supposed to believe in freedom of speech, but the issue here is that they want to revise it to fit what they believe which in turn brings with it intimidation to those who own Television Stations, Radio Stations, Magazine's etc....
HER NAME WAS STIMULUS...
This morning I woke up with these words on my mouth after hearing from many of you on this dream. "Her name was Stimulus." She was a symbol of the Stimulus. What does Stimulus actually mean?
stim·u·lus (stĭm'yə-ləs) Pronunciation Key
n. pl. stim·u·li (-lî')
Something causing or regarded as causing a response.
An agent, action, or condition that elicits or accelerates a physiological or psychological activity or response.
Something that incites or rouses to action; an incentive: "Works which were in themselves poor have often proved a stimulus to the imagination" (W.H. Auden). .
In my dream the woman speaking to President Obama seemed (deceptive) very beautiful (seductive), but she looked a little odd (the beak or bill on her face) and she was all dressed in red (which can symbolize both power and/or debt). The President was concerned and even shaken by my questioning him, but she eased his mind immediately by telling him that 'I was only one little person and no problem at all.' The sad reality is that what we saw in this last election really should make one question whether their vote really counts, but Beloved even if we have lost our rights as American's to vote and be heard as individuals before men, there is still one place that we know we can go to share our hearts. There is a God in Heaven who listens when the righteous cry and He will not abandon us even if our Government does. In these dark times that we face ahead of us we can be sure that God has already been raising up a David who will one day step in as our Leader. Our Country may have chosen Saul to be King, but God is NEVER without a plan. He knows the end from the beginning Beloved and although it is quite sad to see our Country come this far, the reality is as Believers we know that light does not shine as bright as it should unless there is darkness so that it can be seen.
3 THINGS TO CONSIDER...
As I began to recognize this woman in red and realized that her name was Stimulus I also realized that as a Believer myself, I have to be careful not to...
1) Don't fall into deception ~ Her appearance itself was deceptive. In my dream she appeared to be very beautiful, but that beak/bill stood out and was out of place. Always discern and look for things that have one appearance yet there is something out of place. Don't get involved.
2) Don't be seduced ~ I believe that times have been so hard for so many that countless Christians have been seduced by all the talk of tax breaks, financial help and restoring jobs. The reality is this Stimulus package/bill does very little for you and me. The money will be used unwisely as always happens when Government is in control and many will remain in unemployment lines while top executives of companies that receive stimulus money will be out throwing parties or buying up other companies so they can get bigger. After all, in a worldly mindset bigger is always better.
3) Do all that you can to get out of debt ~ Many of you will be getting decent tax returns this year. USE THEM WISELY. This was to be our year to buy a second vehicle for our family. As it is now, we have only one Van and when I am at work Jerry is stuck at home. If Jerry goes on a ministry trip I am stuck at home. However, in the last few months Jerry & I have come to the realization that getting out of debt is much more important than getting another vehicle right now. We may have to wait another year, but within the last few months we have done many things that are at least taking us in the direction of getting out of debt. We have refinanced our Van and gotten our payments down so that we can actually pay them and we have paid off several credit cards (and cut them up). We also consolidated some things so that even though our payment might seem a little higher we will be debt free in less than 4 years rather than paying on these same cards or bills for 14 years. 4 years hmmmm? Sounds like the length of time that Obama might be in office doesn't it? lol....While he and our Democratic Congress are supposedly taking from the rich to give to the poor, I don't believe my family will be seeing a dime of it so I want our family to be getting completely out of debt to any and all credit card companies, mortgages etc... We have already seen the damage that allowing big name companies to do what Government wants them to can do in the lives of the people.
IN CONCLUSION...
Finally Beloved pray without ceasing. I think that this is a lost art amongst Christians yet we must find our way back to the only one who truly cares about our Nation. Can we again become 'One Country under God?" Yes, I believe we can, but it is going to take unity and agreement.
Jesus did not promise us that we would live a life without trials or tribulation. John 16:33 (New Century Version) says "I told you these things so that you can have peace in me. In this world you will have trouble, but be brave! I have defeated the world."
As Believers we must stand stronger today than we ever have before. We must decide here and now that we are not going to allow the new liberal agenda to change our values and morals. We must come together like never before as a unified body with one voice and cry out to God to heal our land. Our Government officials will not humble themselves, in fact many of them have set themselves up as Gods, but as children of the most high God we have a responsibility for ourselves, our families, friends, children and future generations to humble ourselves and pray like never before. "LORD HEAL OUR LAND"
I love you all,
Sheryl L. York
