“And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:28).”

My name Empress Joanne is not some sort of connotation for royalty or my beauty. My name is my anointing not only to elevate me but to humble me for the road I am to walk. I received my name in a vision. I was given this name not only for spiritual elevation, but for humility, in a dream. I was warned I shouldn’t tell anyone about this dream when I had mentioned it innocently. So here is where fear set in me. “Why?” I asked; “because many people are killed for this knowledge,” I was told by a man and woman of God. I was given the Crown of Heaven, the Crown of Earth and the Crown of Crucifix altogether as one crown and then given the Infant Jesus.

Crown of Heaven: the glory of God

Crown of Earth: whatever is bound on Earth is bound in Heaven

Crown of Crucifix: suffering with Christ

Infant Jesus represents all of mankind to be responsible for. So in receiving the Infant Jesus, just as God found favour in Mary and she was chosen by Him, He found favour in me to take on the role of being a woman, a mother, a wife, a leader. Like Daniel in the last days, “And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. (Daniel 10:7).”  Many are called but few are chosen. But to whom much is given, much is required (Luke 12:48). I’ve been battling and it has been a fight but this is MY higher calling.
