welcome to wailing to warring ministries!

WW1 - WW2, The Backstory

In late April 2021, while working, a scripture came before me on my phone. I believe it was the

scripture of the day on my bible app. It was Jeremiah 9:17-20, where it calls for the wailing

women. There is a line in vs 18 that says “and our eyelids gush out with waters”. I have a

spiritual mom who pronounces it “goosh” and I heard it in her voice! I was tickled but it left me

thinking about the message of these verses. I am a licensed Aesthetician, so my work requires

my hands to be occupied most of my day. I do, however, keep my phone close by me as I work.

When I have time to check my emails, texts, etc., I do. As I went on with my workday, I had one

of those moments and there, in my newsfeed on social media, that same section of scripture

from Jeremiah came before me a second time! This time I asked God, “What are you saying to

me, Father?”, as I knew I my “knower” that it was not coincidental. Still with clients, I sort of

“filed” that thought in the back of my mind and it stayed in my spirit and on my mind the rest of

the day.

As I drove home from work that evening, I got a call from a spiritual brother of mine, a mighty

prophet of God. He said, “Sis! I need to read a scripture over you for God! I hear Him speaking

this over you and I believe He wants you to take this literally.” I thought to myself, “If he says

something about Jeremiah 9, I’m going to have to pull my car over!” He continued, “It’s the

scripture in Jeremiah about the wailing women.” I had to pull off the road and park in a parking

lot while he continued. The presence of God was all over me and tangible! When I told him

that this was the third time within hours that this scripture came to me, he laughed and said,

“Well, I guess you don’t need any more confirmation.” Indeed!!!

I got home and went to my prayer room to pray into this more and had a vision of a sea of

women in red tshirts that had a Wonder Woman vibe to them. I thought, “Wow! Wonder

Women…Wailing Women…WW!!” I called a friend who created me a logo that had the look

without plagiarizing Wonder Woman’s actual logo and we created the look for the tshirts I saw

in my vision. I felt a sense of urgency, so I grabbed the calendar and selected a date on a

Saturday not very far off. I chose the first Saturday of June as our day to gather. We had just

had Sean Feucht here for one of his “Let Us Worship” events that was held at the Arkansas

River which has long been a place we have gathered at for prayer, worship and prophetic acts.

It is a part of the Trail of Tears and very significant in our state history. It was where I thought

we were to gather for this prayer gathering. But I worked 2 blocks from the state capitol and

took the capitol exit off the freeway daily. One day in the midst of the planning, as I took the

exit, the Capitol bldg. looked to swell and become very large!! It took up my whole windshield!

I gasped and realized that it was the Capitol where God wanted us to convene!! So, we shifted

gears and planned to gather at the front of the Capitol.

I reached out to the women who God highlighted to me to lead prayer and decrees. Each one

was to hear from God for herself to get the assignment for her to release. As they reported

back to me what God gave them, there was no overlap! Each one was given a topic they were

anointed to lead in. I then got a call from one of my prayer leaders, Dr Judy Laird, who was

coming in from Nashville to be amongst us. She said, “The Lord is showing me that there is

something about the 21 st step in front of the Capitol. I need you to go to the Capitol and count

the steps. Call me when you get there.” So, we went. The 21 st step turned out to be a

landing…a platform!! It was the last landing before you reach the very top of the stairs. We

knew that we were to use that platform as our staging area where we would stand to lead

prayer and decrees from. We had 12 prayer leaders, standing on the 21 st step on that first

Saturday of June, 2021 at 6am. We had a great group of women and men who gathered. It was

beautiful and powerful. A group of us went to the river afterward to perform some prophetic

acts and to take communion. God was pleased and was faithful to answer the prayers we

prayed!

I thought that my job was done until He spoke to me in the early spring of 2022 that He wanted

me to “reprise” the Wailing Women’s event of the year before. I thought to myself, “Great!

We have a pattern to follow! First Saturday of June, 12 prayer leaders, 21 st step at the Capitol,

6am, we will wear those red tshirts…and then I had a vision! I saw a troop of women dressed

for battle in camo and army green that looked like they were growing up out of the ground like

trees! I thought, “Wow, God! You are changing our garments.” He said, “This is the Psalm

68:11 army of women and they are my secret weapon in this hour.” So, we planned our second

gathering, calling it WW2. It was bigger than the first one. We also held a conference and

brunch directly following the prayer at the Capitol. It was a powerful time of equipping and

activation. Our theme the first year had been “The Rise of the Wailing Women”, but in 2022,

our theme was “We are going from Wailing to Warring!” God even changed the name of my

ministry that day on the Capitol steps to “Wailing to Warring Ministries”!

When I posted ads for our newly designed army green tshirts, a friend in Arizona who had been

with us in Arkansas the year before, reached out, saying she was planning to take a group to

their state capitol and pray the same day as us and she wanted to order shirts so they could be

in solidarity. Another friend in Louisiana did the same, and another in Pennsylvania! As I was

thanking God for this, He spoke, “And next year all 50 states.” 

As we began to seek leaders for each of the 50 states, it was evident that the Lord was knitting together a network of women, a sisterhood of women warriors who love God and love this nation.  We were truly becoming the Psalm 68:11 Army of women God had spoken of.  

As these state leading delegates emerged to gather those who would stand in their

individual states on this same day, Saturday, September 16, 2023, (Rosh Hashanah) we asked that they do the following:

1) Secure their date and time slot with their State Capitol

2) Build a team to join them 

3) Decide on who would lead specific prayers and declarations

4) Plan to be on post at their designated time so that we could begin AS ONE, regardless of time zone to lift a unified cry to heaven that covered the nation with the cry of the Wailing Women.

And so it was.  It was a mighty move of God that blanketed the nation in prayer and set in motion a momentum for all He has called us to do since.  Along with the assignments came the alignments...the sisterhood that was knit together and the cross pollination of gifts, talents, revelation, and understanding that facilitates still, assignment after assignment for the advancement of the Kingdom of God and the thwarting of the kingdom of darkness.

Our assignment was to go to the nation's Capitol at the Head of the Year (Rosh Hashanah), October 3-5, 2024 to deal with specific land issues and break open the way ahead of A Million Women movement the following weekend on the Day of Atonement, October 12, 2024.

We understood the assignment!!

WW5…”Back to the Capitols”. Our goal is to release the feminine expression of the Kingdom’s cry unto heaven for the sake of this nation, state by state.  We will gather at our state capitols, the spiritual high places and seats of government, on the same day, at the same time, and lift a unified cry AS ONE to heaven. This event is women led, but in no way is it exclusive of men!  We require and desire the support, covering, agreement and participation of our brothers in the Lord. We seek a strong woman warrior from each state  to be the Leading Delegate who will rally and lead the troops to go to your capitol on September 20th. This year we desire to fulfill the Lord’s vision to have representation of the First Nations people in the person of our Native American sisters as a vital part the prayer, declarations, and leadership of each state’s team. We believe, because God has spoken, that their voices carry the frequency of God’s original harmony with the land that will usher in a divine reset in this nation. My personal desire is to forge relationships with the women involved. I would love to have the opportunity to connect via telephone to communicate and pray with you. I have found that in this era of electronic communication we often miss God's desire for us to make heart connections.  So if this resonates with you, I believe you are called to be involved and if that is the case, a phone conversation, not weeks of praying, will often seal the deal, so to speak.  I'm not saying don't pray about it, I am simply saying that God is often answering and we are missing how He is doing so.
May God bless you mightily! If you are in one of the states listed as needing leadership, please reach out to us via email at wailingtowarring@gmail.com to schedule a time to talk with Karla Runner, National Coordinator.  If you do not feel connected to this vision from God to be involved, but know of someone you might recommend, we would certainly appreciate the referral.
