THANK YOU First a word of thanks to those of you who gave and prayed. I know your work will be rewarded and I know the Lord is pleased because He honored your prayers by doing many miracles. Concerning finances. We left without near enough finances to do what needed to be done. We had our tickets and a bit more but with a month worth of trip ahead of us we were sadly lacking in finances. But God… We knew this trip was of the Lord and that if we stepped into thin air so to speak, He would not allow us to fall, and that is what happened. Some money came in after we left, which greatly helped. We could access that via ATM’s. But most of the funds for the rest of the India trip came from offerings in North India. (Please understand that we never take up offerings, ask for money or even let our need be known but people or churches would just walk up and plant a seed in the work of the Lord. Praise God.) You may not realize what a miracle that is, but let me tell you that is an amazing miracle. God is faithful. Many of your were praying for our finances, here is the miracle fruit of your prayers. Now I know the Lord will richly reward those of India for planting seeds for India. I’M OKAY For those of you who received the note that my tailbone was hurt and prayed, thank you. After that prayer request I felt relief. Let me explain. For those of you who know me, I have a tendency to be a bulldozer, which is okay at time, that is needed in the body of Christ and it helps me act with great boldness. But at times it causes me to not be as careful as I should be. I had seen in a vision a place in Namchi by the side of the road where we needed to stop and pray and we had to do it before going to the hotel room, as there was some urgency in the command of the Lord. Somehow if we had waited, we would have suffered an attack. It was almost dark when we found the spot. There were 7 of us, and I suggested that we not make a public scene, but only the 3 women would go and pray. I knew that the Lord said it was a field of blood that was like a pool of power for the enemy. [That was verified later when the locals heard of our prayers there and said that was the ancient burial grounds.] But I did not expect the mountain to drop so suddenly there; straight down (little or no angel) for what I am sure was several thousand feet. So I said to the Lord, surely I can just bind this thing by the side of the road. But the Lord indicated I needed to go down a bit. To the naked eye that seemed quite impossible. I knew if I mentioned it to the women with me or I even took time to think about it, I wouldn’t do it. So I went to sit down quickly and try to work my way down on my bottom. But when I went to sit my feet came out from under me on the steep grade and I hit the ground very hard, which is how my tailbone took a hit. As you can imagine I immediately started going down, very fast. I called out to the Lord to have the angels stop me or I would not be able to pray. (I would instead be singing I’ll fly away, until I hit the bottom that is.) I was digging my heels in the dirt and stopped about one inch from an even steeper precipice. Praise God. I began to pray and bind the enemy as the Lord had decreed. The battle was much worse than I expected, and I was in a precarious position. I told the others of course not to follow me but to wait at the edge. (To those from the vehicle it looked as though I had fallen off the mountain.) During the battle I took a serious hit but the work was done. I was able to scramble back up holding on to bits of grass and clumps of dirt, but almost collapsed in the vehicle. These are serious battles with real enemies and people can really get hurt. Praise God my seasoned team gathered around in prayer and in a short time I was revived. I hesitate to share such things but I think you need to know this is not like shooting during target practice. This is real war and people can get hurt. That is why after each battle we are quick to ask, whose hurt? Does anyone have pain, fuzzy headedness, or pressure? Once it is discovered we gather around that one and pray until the hit is gone. If we keep it, like a seed it would grow and could become a serious problem. Just a couple of days latter we were looking for the main battle place in that area that I had seen in a vision. As I described it to the local pastors (who were awesome guys, eager to learn and a great help) one of them knew where it was. It was a hole in the mountain by the side of the road. If you dropped something into the cave you could not hear it hit bottom. These were the main tunnels where we battled the darkness and the powers of the ancient zodiac. On the way there we encountered many booby traps of the enemy, which is not unusual. The Lord is faithful. As the enemy attacked, it seemed like the entire vehicle would shake. By the time we got to the cave we were primed and ready. But again the cave that went straight down was in the side of a dirt cliff. As I began to search for the place we were to pray, I knew it was straight up. I conferred with the others and they too agreed this was the place they felt in their spirit. There was no trail, just a big dirt cliff and then straight up mountain. I took my scarf off and began to climb. I may not be in great shape but I did grow up in the mountains and had at least some advantage. I again told the others to man their posts and not to follow. I had 3 men with me, two were pastors and one, Pastor Anil was the key to the battle. It doesn’t matter how much the Lord shows me or does with me, nothing can replace someone from that area who has the authority in that area. There is power in knowing that. It was a miracle that I made it up but praise God I did. We found the spot the Lord showed us and positioned ourselves for the battle. Do I ever wonder? Sure. I just don’t stop when I do. Even then I thought, Am I crazy, what if there’s nothing up here? But at that moment we engaged in battle and the enemy reacted. At that point all questions were a mute point. The enemy was there and we were hot in the middle of a battle on the side of the mountain. I won’t describe the details but it was intense and powerful. Why were we doing this? The enemy was trying to reconnect these ancient tunnels to release major demonic powers that would have trashed these mountains, and continued to grow. In one place they had succeeded in releasing some of these powers. They emailed me and asked about that place. I told them people would drop dead instantly once the power was released. They emailed me back and said 20 people dropped dead instantly in that area. This is very real and very deadly. More than that these powers were trying to connect internationally. So these battles in remote mountain regions of the Himalayas stopped connections that would have affected all of the world. Praise God we were victorious through Jesus Christ our Lord. But now we had to get back down the mountain and it was straight down. Most of the time I was on my bottom, unable to stand. The brave pastors with me trying to keep me from falling often were putting themselves in some danger. I have long since discovered clothes will wash, but the work of the Lord must be done. But this also caused more damage to my tailbone, which was again why I needed your prayers. I am much better now, thank you. BOMBS AND FIRE When we went to fight at the first of 3 places where we would fight concerning these tunnels, we went to a place outside of Darjeeling, called Tiger Hill. I will post some pictures on the website later. But I want you to understand some of the dangers. It is not all spirits; there are real witches and people involved as well. I told the team we would be encountering some fire and some dangers on the way. We did encounter several spiritual roadblocks but the team was diligent and prayed through. We always claim a spirit of hiding and the angels guard us. But when we came into the town, just at the place we would have turned to go up to Tiger Hill (you can see many countries from this hill on a clear day), we were stopped. I knew this was their trap. One of the pastors got out to walk down the road to see why we were stopped, but after a few minutes when he didn’t return I knew he was in danger, so I went to get him and told the others to stay in the vehicle. When I got out of the vehicle I felt as though someone had hit me in the stomach and in the head but I pressed on. The pastor was there watching. Someone, just a moment before we reached the area had thrown a gas canister and started a fire in the middle of the street blocking us. This was definitely aimed at us. I told the pastor to come. When we got to the car I asked him how he felt. He felt sick in the head and the stomach. I said there are spirit fires as well as physical fire and we have to stay in the vehicle where the angels have us covered. The team prayed and both of us were restored. I could hear the enemy but I was unconcerned, we were doing what God told us to do and He would protect us and He did. It is not unusual for us to feel physical things or face serious physical dangers like fire bombs. The police were not going to let us turn to go up to Tiger Hill but they were going to force us to go the wrong way. But as we prayed, someone in the vehicle knew one of the officers and he made a way through the chaos for us to go. At the top we found the exact spot to battle, which was again down a steep hill. Two pastors came with me and I told the rest to stay on top and pray. Praise God they were strong pastors and were able to help me up and down the steep embankment. The battle was intense and involved many things. It was here that I discovered the deepest darkness looks like a bright light. Matthew 6:23… If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! The Lord gave me this scripture to let me know that the most evil darkness can appear as a light. We then encountered a light dragon that ran through the tunnels. It was urgent that we stop it here or it would travel the tunnels and attack us in other places that we were going. If we didn’t stop it here we would lose our element of surprise. We found the blood of thousands of sacrificed children and took it out of the devil’s hands and gave it to the Lord. We sealed down the tunnels in that area and set an angel to guard it. OLD RUMTEK The last of the 3 tunnels we had to fight was in Old Rumtek. A place we should not have been allowed to go but the enemy there had been defeated twice, and agreed if we would do only as we had said, they would not try to stop us. We saw the monks but they did not interfere or try to block us, because the place we had to go was down the hill behind the monastery. I did however find out that stinging nettles sting like fire and it can take more than a day for it to fully stop stinging. Sheesh. So much of how we find things is either by vision, the Lord shows us and then we see what we saw in the vision or describe it to the locals and they can tell us where what we saw is or we feel it. When we know the basic area, we then walk sensing in the spirit using our stomach like a Geiger counter. When you step on the right spot you feel it. Then we will have the others try it and see if they feel the same things, to verify it. All my life I had heard you walk by faith not by feelings. But I know now they mean emotions but sensing things with our physical feelings is one of the ways God directs us and warns us. In this manner we found the exact rock I had seen in the vision and there we prayed. Though the battle was intense, the main part of the battle was a spirit the Lord called Synopsis. I took enough English to know Synopsis is telling a long story in a very short format. But the Lord had me look it up in the dictionary and it also means control of weather over a certain area. Then I remembered that the entire region had been in a severe drought for 5-6 months. The Lord said this spirit had caused that. We were to lock him down and command the weather to be restored. Once that was done, everywhere we went it rained. Praise God for the confirmation. After one of the battles, we were in Sunday morning church, in a large service. I could see one of the team members in the audience as I sat on stage during worship. I could tell they were in distress. He was usually a cheerful, positive person, but now looked weak and sick. I excused myself and told him to follow into the other part of the church where we could pray. As a result of a hit in one of the battles, he felt as though he were having a heart attack. We prayed then and he felt a good bit of relief and then we prayed again sometime after the service and he felt complete relief. One of the jobs of the leader is to watch the team for signs of distress and take care of it before it escalates. In several instances I was the one in distress. If we take care of it quickly and don’t let it settle in, it can be taken care of easily. We have to constantly watch and pray. MAIN BATTLE The main battle as usual, has too many secrets to be told in full. We were supposed to go to Sakya in Tibet to fight this battle. The enemy had manifest in my prayer time well before we left the states and let me know they would not permit me to come to Tibet. I just laughed, knowing that if the Lord wanted me to come, there was nothing they could do. But when it came time to go, the only border entry into Tibet where we could get the permissions we needed was in Nepal, going through Katmandu. Suddenly there was a nationwide strike in Nepal and all the borders were closed. No vehicle could enter or exit the country, even airplanes. (This was the first time a strike had covered airplanes.) Not only that, the only bridge crossing from Nepal to Tibet in that area is a place that has never been flooded; the water never gets that deep. Flooding shouldn’t be a problem in any case because of the drought. But a freak flood came and washed the bridge away. The enemy was gloating but God had a plan. As we took it to prayer, I remembered that in some of our initial research we had accessed that area of Tibet using Google Earth and via satellite we were there. So we decided to try that. But suddenly the Internet went down for the entire ‘region’ and was not expected back up until long after we had gone. When we asked the Lord He said simply His spiritual Internet was not down. That’s cool. So the 3 main players (me and 2 others) went into a back room and accessed God’s Internet to that place in Tibet. I have to admit at first I felt silly, until we engaged in the battle. Then it was agonizing. There was no mistake we were in. The only question was, as intense as it was, would we be able to leave. But that was the purpose of the 3rd person. We knew it would be intense (though we could never have imagined it as strongly as it really was), 2 of us were to go in and one was there to protect us and pull us back out. Praise the Lord for giving us that format before we started, as it was so very necessary. The details of the battle are secret. It took days to fully recover, though I was able to minister as needed, I was glad I was not scheduled to preach for a few days. It was like being in Star Wars in some ways. But this I will say, the only important thing is we accomplished what God wanted done and we were completely victorious. As you can tell your prayers were absolutely urgent and again I thank you. OTHER BATTLES There were of course other battles; some were intense and some lesser. Because of the length of this newsletter I will keep these battles out, though some of them were very interesting. There was one major trap that we did not discover until we were in too deep. But the Lord was faithful to get us out and to put things back in order. In one place we were searching as usual for something I had seen in a vision, trying to get the locals to understand what I was describing. When we found the hidden garden I had seen in the vision; that was off limits (but God gave us favor with the guard who let us in) it was exactly like what I had seen in the vision. There were two gateways there. The one on top who was upset that we were there but the one we had come to discern was the one deep in the ground, that should it open, there would be a major earthquake in that region, with lava. We were able with what the Lord showed us there to give the people of that area the information they needed to pray and keep that earthquake from happening. Praise God. MINISTRY We ministered in churches in various places. In each place many were saved, healed and delivered. Though some of the healings were intense I will only share a couple of them. We went to a small thatched hut to pray for a family. Each person was healed, as the Lord moved in that tiny hut. Finally a man sat on a wicker stool in front of me. “I have to hit you on the head.” I said to the man. So I gently smacked his head. “I have to do it again.” I said. “I won’t hit hard and I don’t know why I am doing it, but if I don’t obey the Lord, He won’t reveal what to do next.” So I hit him, not very hard several times. “How did that feel?” I asked. The man looked blank. “Did it feel like when your leg is asleep, did it make you feel a bit dizzy and strange?” I asked. “Yes it did.” “Not long ago,” I said, “You fell on your head. It cracked the skull, which was not properly taken care of. The brain became swollen and filled in the crack. The crack healed and sealed before the brain swelling went down so part of the brain is still attached in the crack. That is what your problem is.” No one had even said he was sick but I saw it and so I said it. It was all true. A few weeks before he had fallen off a roof while working and hurt his head. He had been dizzy and felt strange since then. We were able to pray and then tap his head and it no longer felt bad. But I couldn’t help but chuckle at the fact that I had to tell the person in his own hut, I have to hit you in the head. God is good. One man was delivered from ancestral spirits. I began to describe how they tormented him and what he experienced at night and he began to cry and ask for help. Once he was delivered from the demonic spirits he was a new man. 3 women sat on a seat in the corner of one house meeting. I didn’t know they had come together but began to prophecy over them how to win the battles for their area. I described their home area perfectly and told them where the main problem was and what to do about it. I described what the Lord required of them and how they could win the victory. They were all slain in the spirit but came to me later to tell me that I had indeed described their home perfectly and their battle and they were greatly encouraged. Interesting that on the way to Namchi was a mountain area that was barren and evil. I must have mentioned that it was a hellish place, because they then let me know the name of the place is Hell. So I can say that going to Namchi we had to pass right through Hell but we certainly prevailed. People were always amazed when back pains left and other symptoms. Several deaf ears were opened, and blind eyes. It is always a joy to see such things. It is certain God only gets all the glory. One lady had us pray for her daughter who was far away in the hospital. They were going to run a test to see if the cancer that was growing rapidly was operable. I told her when the test is run they will find no cancer and they will send her home. A couple of days later when we returned to that area, she came to let us know that is exactly what happened, they ran the test, found no cancer and sent her home. Praise God. Psalms 107:20 God sent His word and healed them. Very often people don’t know how to express their problems, but the Lord reveals it, they confirm it and then the Lord heals it. One young woman I had to say strange things to. I told her a piece of her inner soul was being held by a demon goddess and the result was she had become reclusive, suicidal, and often found herself in a fetal position hiding. She admitted everything except that a piece of her soul was missing. No problem, the Lord will give more details. “You were very young.” I said and “It hurt you.” She mentioned an accident that happened when she was 7. “No,” I said, “You were only a baby, surely one year old or less.” Her family began to argue with me that nothing had happened with a goddess, they were a Christian family but I turned to her and commanded her to tell us what happened. She said that when she was a babe in arms; the native people from the plains came into the mountains and stole her away to sacrifice her to their demon goddess. She didn’t know which goddess. Her parents were able to rescue her but something was wrong inside of her and it was getting worse. We were able to pray and using Colossians 2:14-15 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (In other words the legal rights of these enemies has been nailed to the cross and made void.) This woman was wonderfully set free, Praise God. One woman brought her daughter who was epileptic. I began to see that the family had given some legal right to the spirit of epilepsy. She explained that her husband was Hindu and they lived with his parents, who had many idols on the roof of the building and did many rituals and they had done a ritual over her daughter. She began to tell me how horribly they treated her and how mean they were. We prayed as we could but since the legal head, the dad, had give legal right, we were somewhat limited, though the child was much better. The next day I was surprised to see that the entire Hindu family had come to the house where I was staying and was waiting for our prayers. The grandparents and their two sons, one of which was the dad of the little girl and mother and her mom. They even brought their moon struck servant to be prayed for. As we prayed for each one they were healed. (Miracle evangelism). When we prayed for the little girl with epilepsy again I asked the dad for permission to cast out the spirit and he gave it to me. Praise God. There is so much to say. We prayed for children with leprosy and one child with a clubfoot turn and the child walked. Hearts healed, lungs, backs, legs, heads, stomach problems, growths gone, so many miracles. God is faithful. We taught in one 3-4 day pastor’s conference in Namchi and had excellent results. We fell in love with those pastors and really want to stay in touch with them. We had a one-day pastor seminar in Silliguri and several other church meetings and two ETH meetings. I was however surprised when I was asked to preach at the very proper old Anglican Church at Dr. Graham’s School. It was a beautiful church, and the service was very rigidly structured. I was given 20 minutes to speak, to well over a thousand students and teachers. Though I was not allowed to give an altar call, I told a story that left the children with the reality of their need to make a true decision for Christ. It was a big success and they assured me they would ask me to speak there again. Praise God. That morning we had two services and so we had to immediately rush to the next service. Sometimes we reach a level of exhaustion that is hard to describe. Being in such intense battles, it is no time to let our prayer life go down, so we often get up at 4 a.m. to pray and prepare ourselves in the Lord, often having gotten to bed after midnight. There is little or no time to rest in between services because there are always people waiting for prayer. This schedule for several weeks is impossible but God gives His grace and your prayers make a big difference. Thank you. SOUTH INDIA What a different story in the south. We were able to rest some and often didn’t get up until 5 or 6, which was a luxury. We had time to pray and recover. It was hot but praise God for most of the time, in our room we had air conditioning. Because of political unrest we were unable to do crusades but did minister in churches and held a series of Holy Ghost meetings in the local church. Political unrest is often not something we of the west fully understand. In the North people are shot quite often. We saw more guns and much more security. As they put mirrors under our vehicle at one hotel to check for bombs, we began to understand how volatile the situation was. We had a wonderful vehicle to use all of the time we were in the North because one ministry in Silliguri allowed us to use their vehicle. They told us, during times of political rallies, when the country is preparing for huge elections, as they are later this month, if they see a nice vehicle they can seize it for their political uses and seize the driver for use as well until the elections are over. Since the driver was the pastor, he felt it would be best to keep the vehicle somewhere else until elections were over. That is why he let us use it during this time. It is hard for us to understand that they can seize a vehicle and the driver for months but it is a very real problem. In the south they were forbidden to have crusades or anything in public that might disturb their politics. So we could not get the permits to have the crusades this time. I want you to keep these elections in prayer. There is one candidate running that if he wins, he will turn the entire country against Christians and take away Christian rights. Please pray this man will not win. It will bring in intense persecution if he wins. I believe the elections will be over by the end of April. Thank you for your prayers that change and protect the nations. So many were healed and delivered but I will just tell one incident. One Hindu man attended a meeting in a small village church. When we started praying for people he looked very skeptical. He came to me and touched his head, like pray for me. I said, “Lord let him have it both barrels so he will know God is real.” Well God did just that. He almost electrocuted him with power. Then I couldn’t get rid of him. He was following me everywhere, touching his forehead to my hand or touching my feet. Even at the car he was pressed against the window until we left, wanting one last touch. Though I told him clearly the power was from Jesus Christ, he had a witness he would never forget that God is real. In one meeting where we were asked to lay the corner stone of a new church and pray and prophesy over the church and the pastor, there was a witch sent to stop us. I knew the enemy had sent someone and was searching the crowd to find her. Then I saw her sitting near the front glaring at me in confidence. As I spoke on the fact that the Lord would remove the enemy from our midst she smiled. But later when she tried to send her curse and it didn’t work she wasn’t smiling, she looked confused. And finally she left defeated because her powers wouldn’t work against us. But she watched from across the street. When it came time to pray for the people and she saw people were getting healed, she came for prayer to be healed and later went and brought other family members to be healed. What a testimony to the Lord, that the witch that left defeated wanted to be healed. The thing we remember most is the people. Our heart is with the people there. IN CONCLUSION As much as I have said, it is nothing compared to all that happened. To write it all, even just for this one trip, would be a book. Now it is time to recover and refocus on the next trips. There are some local battles for our country the Lord has me in and several battles overseas. I am going to Ohio to minister in the church and Bible School in May. Please keep that in prayer. I am considering a ministry time in the Dallas area. If you would be interested in such meetings, it would be helpful if you would let me know. If have friends there I have not had meetings with in some time and I long to be with them again. You can drop me a message from the website or email me direct. That would probably be some time in June. The last week in July we are planning on going to France. We would be spending time in Vichy, Paris and perhaps other places in France. Then the plan is to rent a car and travel over the Alps to a place in Switzerland on the German and Austrian border. Then from there to drive on to Rome for a week. From Rome we would go to Istanbul for some warfare and then on to home the end of August. Please keep this trip in prayer. The strategies and timings must be perfect. There is too much at state to make mistakes. I know you will pray and your prayers will make a big difference. Thank you again for all you do, your giving and prayers. I love to hear from you. I too keep you in my prayers.
