About Lucy
I've been in the construction field for almost 30 years, working on commercial and residential projects around different parts of the world. I got an associate's degree in business administration and went straight out of high school and college into self-employment business. I've worked for a few employers, but most of my experience has been through self-employment in construction. Now I'm using the same tools from construction with biblical teaching to help build up those that have been broken down for God's kingdom. When you're a superintendent in a project, you're given a set of blueprints to build according to what the customer wants. Well, in the biblical world, we're given a set of blueprints too, because God formed us in our mother's womb, but He knew us before He formed us. He has given me a blueprint, and we are to work with the Spirit to find out what that blueprint is and to walk into that calling. I know what my blueprint is, and He's given me the spiritual weapons - it's up to us to read the Bible and find out what those are, and how to apply them and use them, because it's not just for you or me or our family, it's to help shape the atmosphere in our community, our city, our state, our region, our territory, and across the world. My main area of expertise is SWAT - Spiritual Weapons Ammunition Tactics - which is what we need for the end times. When the enemy comes to try to wipe us out, we're not going to win the battle with guns and knives, we're going to win the battle with the spiritual weapons that God has given us. I'm a king and a priest under the Order of Melchizedek, following those principles which are all biblical, and rising up in that position that we're seated with in the heavens. I do healing and deliverance work for people around the world. For some reason, God keeps calling me to Canada - there are several people in Canada right now that I'm praying for and interceding for and doing healing and deliverance for. It doesn't matter how spiritual you are, you still need to go through healing and deliverance because of all the warfare. I feed the homeless and jump in where there's a need, mostly here in Amarillo, Texas, and Lubbock, Texas area, and sometimes out of the country on an as-need basis.

Ten minutes with Lucy
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the Holy Spirit and the people that God puts in my path - the destiny helpers, or godly counsel as another word. Also, making your own mistakes and learning your lesson from them, and asking God to say, hey, I made a mistake here, what was I supposed to do? How do I fix this so I don't repeat the mistake? Those experiences have shaped who I am and guided me to where I am today.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've ever received is: if you fall down, get back up, dust the dust off, and keep going. Find a new strategy, get to the top, and help somebody else get up there too. I also remember Ted Taylor telling me, 'Lucy, you've tried this how many times now? And you've done things your way, how about you try doing things God's way, and see what He'll do for you.' That spoke to me around 2017 or 2018, and it stuck with me. I realized he was right - I'd been doing this my own way for how long? It was time to let go, give all the pieces to God, and let Him make restoration from this mess, and give me the knowledge and the wisdom and the discernment I need to learn for myself and to help someone else that God brings across my path.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering my industry is: have a plan, stick to the plan, and always call upon the Holy Spirit and use the discernment. Don't be afraid to ask for godly counsel. We get complacent sometimes, but you need to surround yourself with people that you can trust, that will do what you asked them to do. When you have that, man, that's beautiful. Always ask and surround yourself with people you can trust.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge in my field right now is finances. The enemy likes to squeeze your finances, and he'll find every loophole to keep you from prospering. That's with any ministry, especially one that's trying to come out the gate.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in my work and personal life are the Order of Melchizedek principles - walking in the priesthood that we're called to walk in and following those principles. Not to love money, but to see money as a tool. To recognize when you are in warfare and what are the best tools and weapons to use when you're in that battle. When you see somebody else battling, to be obedient to the Holy Spirit when the Holy Spirit speaks to you and tells you to go speak a word in season over someone, pray over someone. It doesn't matter how spiritual you are, you still need to go through healing and deliverance because of all the warfare.
