Miracle House
SEPTEMBER 17, 2022

by Jennifer A. Miskov, Ph.D.

This is a true story of God’s faithfulness and


miraculous provision to bless exceedingly
abundantly above all we could hope, dream, or
imagine. It’s also a story of simple obedience. May
you be blessed and stirred with increasingly greater
measures of faith than ever before.

REFLECTING OF THE TESTI-


MONIES OF GOD’S FAITHFUL-
NESS OVER THE PREVIOUS
DECADE

Back in February of 2022, I was reflecting on the


10-year anniversaries that happened for me a decade
before. New Year’s Eve December 31, 2011, I was
ordained by Heidi Baker. A week after that, I began
a project on the Apostolic Inheritance of California
where I interviewed her and Bill Johnson the same
week. In early February, I launched my first Writing
in the Glory workshop at a local coffee shop with 3
other people. Then in February 2012, I stepped out
in radical faith to found what later would become
known as Destiny House. During this unique
birthing season, I had no car, little money, and was
sleeping on a blow-up air mattress on my friend’s
floor, contending and believing for breakthrough
while being stretched beyond what I had
experienced before. In March, I released my 4th
book Life on Wings: The Forgotten Life and Theology
of Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858-1946) and then
several months after that, I began working on
Defining Moments book with Bill Johnson. To read
all God did in that unique season, see blog entitled
Destiny House History and Breakthrough.

“GOD WANTS TO GIVE YOU A


HOME, BUT YOU HAVE TO
START LOOKING”

So fast forward to ten years after that significant


birthing season in my life to now in 2022. Because
of the weight of the 10-year anniversaries, I felt led
to reconnect with Heidi to invite her to pray into
the next decade with me. We were supposed to meet
on the Friday, but it got switched to where I ended
up with her and her friend on Saturday February 5,
2022 where we sat on the beach and she shared
testimonies of house breakthroughs in her own life.
Then she prophesied over us and prayed that God
would also bring us breakthrough in that area. She
told me, “God wants to give you a house, but you
have to start looking.”

I had tried to buy a house by faith years back and


had also looked into purchasing a home in a few
different places but nothing ever came to pass.
What she said to me in that moment was not on my
immediate radar or anything I was considering at
that time. I had forgotten about my dream to get a
home because it felt so impossible and out of reach.
I honestly didn’t do much with her encouragement
because I knew I didn’t have the resources and I was
fine where I was at. Then when I found out she was
coming back to the area and speaking at my church
in June, I realized I better get the ball rolling before
she came back to honor her speaking into my life
and take it seriously.

FINALLY BEGINNING THE


PROCESS

It wasn’t until May 16, 2022 that I actually began to


apply for a house loan so I could position myself for
this miracle. God connected me with an incredible
loan person named Kim who I had met doing tent
revival stuff the summer before. She prayed for me
throughout the whole process and was such a gift.
On June 14th, two days after Heidi Baker spoke at
my church, I got approved for a loan which was a
miracle in and of itself. As I was searching online for
homes, I realized if I was going to step out in faith
for a home, I needed to love it and for it to feel like
a refuge and retreat. I couldn’t come near affording
anything in Orange County so I ended up being
drawn to look in the mountains where I would
regularly go to unplug and write in small mini-
houses in the forest. Homes were more affordable
there and they were right in nature.

“THE ONLY REASON I’ M


LOOKING IS BECAUSE MY
SPIRITUAL MOTHER TOLD ME
THAT GOD WANTED TO GIVE
ME A HOUSE.”

I had already booked a mini-house Getaway stay in


the mountains about an hour from my home in
June and decided to look at homes in the nearby
area since I was already out there. My real estate
agent, Jon, drove all the way up to the mountain to
show me some homes on June 16, 2012. Nothing
really caught my eye and I remember telling him, “I
don’t really need to buy a house, and I am not in a
hurry, and I don’t have the money. The only reason
I am looking is because my spiritual mother told me
that God wants to give me a house and I need to
start looking to position myself for the miracle.”
After every house falling short of my expectations, I
felt bad for Jon since he had come all that way for
nothing. Then at the end of a tiring afternoon, I
asked him to come see where I was staying so he
could get a better idea of what I was looking for. I
showed him the inside of the mini-house with the
one big window looking out into nature and told
him I want something like that. He probably
thought I was crazy, but I knew the only way this
was ever going to happen was if it was a miracle
straight from heaven.

COULD THIS BE THE “ONE”?

As the weeks went on, I was busy traveling, and


honestly a bit discouraged after our first failed
attempt of looking at houses. I didn’t look for
houses as vigilantly as before and only looked online
here and there. Late July, I was getting ready to go
up to Redding for the first time since I was there
when the world locked down in March 2020 and
Jon reached out to see if I had any time to look at
homes again. I literally only had Saturday, on July
30th, open before heading out of town again. I had
been watching one home that I really liked and saw
that the price kept dropping. I wondered if this
could be the “one.” He encouraged me to find a few
other homes so we could look at several since we
were already making the trip out there. I found a
few others to look at and one that caught my eye
but was way over my price range just for fun.

We met up and looked at a few homes but I didn’t


connect with any of them. Then we went to see the
one that way over my budget but had some cool
windows and furniture. It was super close to the
town but felt secluded at the same time. There were
no homes in front of it and it had four windows
looking straight into the forest. There were wood
floors, 3 fireplaces, and 4 air conditioners which was
rare to find in the mountain homes. I liked the
home, however this was not the one I had my heart
set on originally that we had not yet seen and it was
$200K over my price range. When we finally made
it to the one I had been watching online that was
more in my price range, it was nothing like I
thought it would be. I didn’t like the location or
anything about the house. That was a clear no. We
still had another couple homes to check out after
that one. We did find another home that also
looked like it could be a good fit. It had a separate
little room on a hill that could work well for a
prayer and writing room and was out in the
country. But my heart kept leading me back to the
earlier home we saw with the four big windows
looking into nature with wood floors and furnished.

At the end of the day, it was clear, I really loved the


house that was outside of my budget, but since God
was giving me a home and I felt that I had found
the pearl of great price, I decided to trust Him and
dive in.

STEPPING OUT OF THE BOAT

August 1, I put in an offer with a letter encouraging


the seller to sell me the home because I wanted to
have a place to pray and write. The seller didn’t
come down much at all but he did agree to sell me
the home and thus I could avoid any potential
bidding wars and house drama. I still felt really
drawn to this home so by Tuesday night (8/2/2022)
after a little back and forth, while I was at my
homegroup, I signed the contract to purchase the
home. I headed to Redding that next week and was
also working on finalizing my 10th book All Who
Are Thirsty which had also been on my heart and in
my computer for ten years waiting to be released. I
canceled my trip back to Maui that month because
getting approved for a loan and buying a home felt
like a full-time job with all of the paperwork and
inspections and things, I needed to do to get ready.

MIRACLE OR BUST

There was no way I could close escrow at the end of


the month and make the final payments to close
without the miraculous intervention of God. I was
trusting that God would make a way where there
was no way and taking each step as far as I could.
Praise God, He provided through the body of Christ
in a special way.

TRIPLETS

August 30th I released my 10th All Who Are Thirsty


book in my homegroup which was so special to do
together in family. Michael & Ivey Ketterer and the
whole homegroup was praying with me step by step
as I moved forward with believing for the
impossible. The next day I signed like a million
documents to finalize the loan and September 1, I
launched our School of Revival intensive on the
Apostolic Inheritance of California. My goal was to
move into the new home to teach from my own
land, carrying the authority and putting a stake in
the ground in the soil of California. However, there
kept being delays. So, by Friday, I drove by faith
toward the property praying that by the time I got
there the city would have it recorded so I could
legally move in. I had to get the internet set up that
night in order to teach the next day from there. On
my drive there, I got the call that everything went
through and that the home was officially mine! I got
the internet set up that night, then taught the final
sessions on the Apostolic Inheritance of California
from my own home in California!!! This all
happened on Labor Day weekend! I feel I just
birthed 3 babies and it was over Labor Day
weekend: My 10th book, the Apostolic Inheritance
of California training I had been waiting 10 years to
release, and of course, my miracle home released all
in the same week!

RECEIVE GREAT FAITH

All that to say, there is something powerful in


submitting to those you are in covenant with.
Buying a home was not on my radar in this season
at all but it was on God’s. I am so grateful Heidi
shared her own house breakthrough testimonies and
prophesied over me that day on the beach in
February. I am grateful that God gave me the grace
to step out by faith to begin the search and see what
He might do. I am grateful for all of the midwives
who partnered in prayer every step of the way with
me and for those who sowed in to making this
dream become a reality.

I am wondering if there might be more windows of


opportunity available to step into in this Kairos
moment if we simply step out of the boat to follow
the slightest stirrings of the Holy Spirit for such a
time as this. This home is exceedingly abundantly
above all I could ask, hope, dream, or imagine. It
feels like it was hand crafted and made just me,
hidden until the perfect time He wanted to release
it. Sometimes we simply have to just take that first
step of faith and move toward Him and what He is
putting in front of us and the doors might just open
wide.

There was not just one window peering directly into


nature, but four. I don’t know about you, but that
just demonstrates the goodness of our God to do
the impossible on our behalf simply because He
loves us and has good things in store for us. This is
probably the third time I’ve ventured out to buy a
home by faith. Third time is charm and when God
is on it, He’s on it. I had a praying mortgage lender,
a kindhearted real estate agent, and help and
confirmation wherever I turned. But I still had to
take the first step.

What might He be saying to you in this season? Are


there any slight stirrings that are deep within your
heart that He might inviting you to explore once
again? Might this be the season, the time, the Kairos
moment when things that were impossible in times
past come together in perfect alignment under the
kingdom for such a time as this? Is there a window
of opportunity waiting for you to step into?

If you never step out and go for it, you will never
know.

Blessing you with razor sharp focus to keep your full


attention on the face of Jesus and supernatural faith
to lean into His promises over your life for such a
time as this.

After this I looked, and there before me was a


door standing open in heaven. And the voice I
had first heard speaking to me like a
trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show
you what must take place after this.” –Revelation
4:1

Thanks to everyone who partnered in prayer,


sowing in, and having faith alongside of me for this
life-changing breakthrough. None of this could have
been possible without your support! If anyone else
would like to sow into all God wants to do in this
Miracle Home, you can do so at
