The Days of Noah – Part 3 – Interspecies Breeding Continued
Posted on October 14, 2026 Leave a Comment
Why do I keep studying the Antediluvian period? Because my curiosity never seems satisfied. I’d never heard about any of that before, and Enoch was so inspiring; I want to know more. How could Enoch live as a righteous man in such a wicked period?
We can’t imagine how evil that time was. It was so bad the Bible says that God, in Genesis 6:6, “…was sorry that He had made man on the earth; He was grieved in His heart.” (NKJV)
Genesis 6:6 follows verses 1-5. Those verses outline what happened … beautiful women, “sons of God” (watchers?), giants, etc. Verse 4 reads, “There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.”
My last post talked about interspecies breeding, how donkeys and zebras, lions and tigers, etc. were being interbred. Why? Here’s what Google said. “Scientists interbreed lions and tigers only in controlled, captive settings (emphasis theirs) for research, education, and historical interest. In the wild, natural hybridization is extremely rare because of ecological and behavioral barriers.” I believe it goes against God’s design. God created all the animals and then mankind. He did not create interspecies breeding. I don’t think He’s really happy with this kind of experimentation.
I’ve never seen the movie “The Island of Doctor Moreau.” But I know it’s about varying degrees of experimentation between apes and man. Yuck. Honestly. I believe it takes a somewhat warped mind to pursue this kind of study of interspecies breeding and carry it out.
Interspecies breeding between angels and women produced giants. Not Goliath-sized either. He would have been classified as a dwarf. I read in two different places how tall they might have been. One said 450 feet tall; the other said 4,500 feet tall. Both are horrifying to contemplate. Conservative Protestant denominations cannot and will not explain giants or this interspecies breeding that produced them. They have an entirely different idea of what Genesis 6:2 means. They think it means women from Seth’s line and men from Cain’s line. But they don’t explain the giants.
What do you think about this? Leave a comment and let me know. Next time: More on my hero Enoch.

Refreshing Streams – Prophetic Activation Workout
Posted on August 4, 2026 Leave a Comment
We all know that we need to “workout” in order to be in good physical condition. But did you know that your spirit also needs a “workout?” Especially when developing our ability to hear from God and by stretching ourselves to hear from Him in ways we have not previously utilized.
And it shall come to pass afterwardThat 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.29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservantsI will pour out My Spirit in those days
The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), Joel 2:28–29.
We are ALL “hardwired” to hear from our Creator, our Heavenly Father. He created us in His image. God is spirit, and He created us with spirits who can hear from Him.
With this in mind, Refreshing Streams is hosting ONLINE a Prophetic Gym Workout. Or Prophetic Activation Workout. Kirby & Donna have been taking Prophetic Company’s ACT (Activate Certified Trainers) course this whole year and we have had the opportunity to practice what we have learned about our spiritual senses for our class Prophetic Gym. We want to offer this to you, especially of you not in Lancaster County, PA.
“Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.” Who through training … have the skill … How are you going to get training? By taking advantage of outside your church training. Churches are wonderful places for fellowship, basic salvation message, and if you’re fortunate, beyond the basics discipleship. Some, like me, outgrew what my churches taught me many years ago. I was hungry for more. I can’t say I’m totally mature, but I’m seeking God and learning. I’m a lifelong learner … always looking for how to grow in knowledge and relationship with God.
Tyndale House Publishers, Holy Bible: New Living Translation (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, 2015), Heb 5:14.
This will be ONLINE, Saturday, August 29 at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

WEEKEND TWO – HEARING
Posted on July 18, 2026 Leave a Comment
We all know that we can hear with our natural ears. Most of us hear from God from that “still, small, voice” that Elijah heard. That’s how we’re taught to hear from God.
But we can also hear through dreams and other internal ways, what is on God’s mind.
Today, we will cover this sense of spiritual HEARING. All three “sub” receptors of External, Internal, and Mystical Hearing will be covered. Even though this is our most common spiritual sense in some ways, you will be stretched to experience God in either new or expanded ways.
Each session will include:
* values & protocols for ministry
* teaching
* ministry
* activation

Refreshing Streams Summer Prophetic Series

WEEKEND ONE – SEEING
We all know that we can see with our natural eyes. That is External Seeing.
And most of us are able to “see” internally, in our “mind’s eye.” Some of you may also have experienced an “open” vision, where something supernatural is overlaid on the natural, and your eyes are open, and you see.
To kick off our Summer Prophetic Series, we will cover this sense of spiritual SEEING. All three “sub” receptors of External, Internal, and Mystical Seeing will be covered. Even though this is our most common spiritual sense in some ways, you will be stretched to experience God in either new or expanded ways.
Each session will include:
* values & protocols for ministry
* teaching
* ministry
* activation

Refreshing Streams Summer Prophetic Series
Posted on June 20, 2026 Leave a Comment
BOTH ONLINE & IN-PERSON
Did you know that you have twelve, yes, 12, prophetic senses? You see, you hear, you sense, and you perceive. And under all four of those senses, for example, you see externally, with your natural eyes, you see internally, in your mind’s eye, and God can give you a vision that overlays what you see in the natural. We call that mystical seeing.
The same is true for hearing, sensing, and perceiving. Come learn and be activated in all twelve of your prophetic senses! It won’t make you a prophet, but it will stretch you and help you learn to hear from God in new and different ways.
As always, we offer our events both ONLINE and IN-PERSON.
Saturdays, July 11, 18, 25, and Aug. 1 will be ONLINE at 1:00 p.m. EDT
Sundays, July 12, 19, 26, and Aug. 2 will be IN-PERSON at 5:00 p.m. EDT at the Smith House, 30 3rd Street, in Akron.
SCHEDULE:
July 11-12: Seeing – External, Internal, Mystical
July 18-29: Hearing – External, Internal, Mystical
July 25-26: Sensing – External, Internal, Mystical
Aug. 1-2: Perceiving – External, Internal, Mystical
You don’t have to pre-register, either online or in person. We would ask that you let us know if you plan to attend. You are welcome to come to any and/or all of the sessions. You will learn lots.
We do activations for every prophetic sense. Instruction, encouragement, and practice using your spiritual senses are offered at every session.
But all twelve are amazing. The mystical senses for each major sense are something we will teach you about, but don’t worry if you haven’t experienced them in the past or don’t experience them as we teach about them. Because it could be that as you learn, you may experience it. Teaching may help you clarify whether you have experienced something without realizing it.
For instance, several years ago, I experienced my first open vision, but I didn’t realize it was that until I learned more in this class. I’ll share that experience during the first session on Seeing. Open visions are an example of mystical seeing.
Even though we won’t require registration at this time, please let us know you are coming, either online or in person. Thank you. That helps us prepare.
If you have any questions, please let us know. Our email is: donna@refreshingstreams.com.
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think may be interested in attending.
