MAY 10, 2004 NEWSLETTER VOLUME 13 Newsletter From The Philippines from Carol J. Warren The Lord is on His throne and the enemy is giving ground to the Lord’s mighty name. We are indeed making a difference. As a note of confirmation that this is a strategic time to intercede and pray for the Philippines, Jill Ott, who is in charge of the End Time Handmaidens and Servants in Nashville sent me an email from the Watchman Network, a group from Bill Hammon’s ministry that intercedes for the nations. Their representative Martha Lucia felt it was urgent to come and fast and pray for the Philippines. She and her group were here in March and prayed for the government and against the Spirit of the Queen of heaven, which is a very big factor here as well. They also battled witchcraft and legal heavenly issues. They stayed mainly in Manila. The very fact that the Lord showed her that this was a strategic time to come intercede for the Philippines shows me that I am not the only one hearing this from the Lord. The Lord has strategically planned the battle and we must be a part of it. For those of you that are praying for my strength I thank you. I have had a few times of feeling very weak but after a few hours my strength would return for seemingly no reason and I would then no that you were praying for me. Your prayers make a big difference. The enemy has been strong at times. Mom Stella had a word that some of these enemies are from India and China. I also have seen that. The enemy is network and often pulls together for a cause. We as Christians must learn to do the same thing. Because you pull together with me the enemy cannot prevail that unity and combined strength in the Lord. Indeed there have been many battles during this time. Sometimes the enemy is very near. While the children were praying downstairs I began to hear screams of terror come from one of the children for quite some time. I was praying upstairs in agreement with them instead of going up and down two flights of stairs. When Pastor Abe came upstairs later I asked him what happened. This was one of the teenage girls. She had been away for a while so she had not heard much about the battles. She saw a huge shadow creature trying to attack her. She kept trying to push it away and when she couldn’t she fell backwards on the chairs and began to scream. It was very terrifying for her. But Pastor Abe came and prayed for her and finally calmed her down. This battle and the things we face are very real and very aggressive. I want to share a very clear vision the Lord gave me as I was praying one day, of this huge seemingly endless field ready to be harvested. But there were only a handful of men working. Most of them didn’t seem to know what they were doing. I saw one with a hand scythe that was dull hacking at one bunch of plants for a long time but his scythe was too dull to cut them for the harvest. I asked the Lord what was wrong. The harvest was so big and so little was being brought in and yet it was ready. He said the workers do not know how to listen and follow His Spirit, which makes it very hard for them. They also need more training in harvesting. Then I saw a huge cyclone. I recognized this as the Euroclydon the Lord had shown me attacking the Philippines before (but certainly not limited to attacking the Philippines) it is from China. It was sending forth a sweet fragrance, a very enticing fragrance to the workers. If they turned to look at it they were sucked up into the cyclone. I knew many good workers had fallen since I was here last and I was surprised to find the number of workers who had walked away from the truth. I was very grieved concerning the harvest. I knew something must be done. Then the picture changed. I saw many women, children and teens with straw hats on working quickly and efficiently for the harvest. They were very focused and dedicated to the work so they could not be enticed away. What does this mean? I asked the Lord. Everyone must work the harvest. Anyone who is able at all must be trained in soul winning and sent out, even door-to-door. They should start Bible Study groups and bring in many that are hungry and ripe for the harvest. Instead of just concentrating on the pastors we need to train everyone to go out. I shared this vision with Pastor Abe, who trains pastors and he already had a plan in place to train people for soul winning. It is time for us to put everyone into action because never before has the days been so close as they are now. The strategic key is to stay focused and learn to listen. “My sheep hear my voice and the follow me,” Jesus said. “The voice of a stranger they will not follow.” I claim that scripture when the subtle deceptions of the enemy are near and so can you. We must train ourselves to learn the voice of the Lord. The enemy is very strong to play on your thoughts. He sends seemingly harmless enticing thoughts but they get you off track and out of focus. Often when I am praying for someone or worshiping I will put my hands on my heart so my focus is listening in the spirit and not in the carnal mind, which is the enemy of God. But Paul said we must learn to walk in the spirit. That means keeping that focus continually. So when the enemy is bombarding me with thoughts I begin to focus my thinking by putting my hands on my heart. What a difference. If we continue to do that when our daily thinking is attacked we learn to move, think and even live in that spirit focus continually. The difference is being open to attack or not, being open to the Lord’s help and strength or not. A faucet that is turned off cannot receive water but if you keep it on it will supply abundantly. The Lord graciously gave me strength to minister Sunday morning. Four souls were added to the Kingdom of God. Praise the Lord. Many were touched and healed of various things. It is only by His great mercy and grace. But often when Jesus prayed for people to be healed he sighed or groaned because all they wanted was their daily bread, blessing, provision, healing or deliverance and could not see the greater truths in the spirit realm of eternal life. So after they were healed they continued just to live after the flesh as best they could because it was all they knew. But we must stay hungry and thirsty for a deeper walk in the Lord. It is given to us to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. Again I thank you for your prayers and being the Lord’s Prayer Partner in His battles. I know the Lord will richly reward you and bless you for it.
I love you and pray for you too. |
PRAYER:
Please read the letter on the left and keep us in your prayers. I ask that people pray that I will rest well and be strong and that there will be no swelling. I have had problems with swelling after long trips and then in the heat but the Lord is merciful and I know with prayers I will do well. Your prayers make such a difference and give much strength to the battle. Prayer changes things.
