Greetings in the name of our precious Lord Jesus Christ. It has
been difficult to find the time to type a newsletter even for a few
minutes, as the schedule has been very busy. I also have had much
trouble checking emails and especially sending newsletters from here
for some reason. We are doing well and the Lord is moving mightily.
We had an ETH meeting April 4th and the Lord moved to heal and
touch. It was wonderful. It has been a great strength having
Reverend Larry and Bob with me to help with the ministry time.
Prophetic Leadership Conference – Kalimpong
The Conference was so powerful and there is so much to say but I
will keep it short. Even as we prayed the night before the
conference to prepare and protect the place where we would be
meeting the glory of the Lord came down. The people were blessed by
the teachings and many commented and asked for our notes. Rev. Bob
(If we call him Dr. Bob they think he is a medical doctor) and I
shared the teaching times. There was never enough time to finish all
the teachings, as there is so much to share. But the Pastors and
leaders were hearing things new to them that were equipping them and
strengthening them. Thank the Lord for that. We tried to have a
question and answer time every day that also seemed helpful.
The Lord moved so powerfully in the ministry times that we were
all amazed. Many laughed and cried as the power of God was
overwhelming and in a very short time almost every one would be down
under the power of God. Many were healed and delivered and many
received a much need break through.
A new river is flowing that is powerful and healing in body, soul
and spirit and it is the River of Love. I have much to learn but
already I am changing and it changes everyone it comes in contact
with. Because some heard of the power in these meetings, even though
they were only supposed to be for leaders a few came who were not
saved and were touched by the power of God and saved. One pastor
said he had been to 30 conferences but he had never seen anything
like this, the teaching and the life changing power of God were
amazing. Some would be flung back by the power and there were never
enough catchers as it often went so fast. The only complaint was
that it was only 3 days, so next year it will be for 5 days.
The last night the Lord really showed off. Everyone was touched
powerfully and few had not found the floor. Many were laughing so
long and hard their sides hurt but they couldn’t stop
rolling on the floor and laughing. Rev. Larry has such a powerful
anointing in fire and laughter and oh how they needed that. As we
tried to end the meeting with worship it turned into a huge party.
The people of India are usually very reserved in worship but now
they were Dancing in huge circles, one of men and another of the
women and others dancing about. They were singing and shouting,
cheering the Lord in praise. It was very spontaneous and wonderful
as we all rejoiced in our Lord.
Gantok
We then went to Gantok, which is very near Tibet. It is in
Sikkim, which used to be a separate country. On the way we were
asked to pray for a couple of teachers at a school. They asked that
we TRY to be inconspicuous and pray in the jeep. The schools here
are very different from our schools. As we began to pray in the
vehicle, the Lord began to heal and give words to the people. When
people saw the results we developed a line outside the jeep, of
teachers wanting prayer. Each one was healed or strengthened. I saw
two Hindu ladies and thought oh no we’ve gotten our
teacher in trouble. But they were straining to hear the prophecies
and see the miracles. I didn’t know until later they
wanted prayer as well. We certainly would have been happy to pray
for them. We have been asked to come back to the school next year. A
public school asking us to come for a meeting, that’s
amazing.
In the meetings in Gantok the glory of the Lord came down. Most
everyone was greatly touched especially the pastors that they call
elders. They would lay laughing and rolling on the floor for such a
long time. But oh how they needed such a break through. Many people
were healed and delivered and all were touch by the power and glory
of God. Sometimes people would go down so fast that there were just
never enough catchers or they weren’t fast enough. There
were so many emotional healings, healings of the soul.
The last night after praying the glory in and then praying for
healing we were trying to wind the meeting down. Suddenly I saw the
glory of God near the ceiling like a cloud (this is a large church,
on Sunday morning perhaps 500). Everything stopped, no music, no
talking, I told the people to be still and begin to draw on that
glory, reach for it with the hunger of their heart and call it in.
Soon I was down on the floor still calling instructions to be
interpreted. The glory was also rising from the floor. I saw a wave
of glory coming and told the people, as it grew closer. Soon there
were screams and loud thuds as people everywhere began to hit the
ground. Many were crying and many were laughing. Then wave after
wave came and with each wave many more screams and thuds of people
falling. There were only a few who did fall. The glory was soft but
powerful as the Lord loved on His people. Sometimes it seemed to be
raining glory. The people were dramatically touched. It was so hard
to stop such a meeting. I love it when the Lord takes over and it is
not man’s hand but only the Lord moving on His people.
Prayer Mountain
I believe that this prayer mountain is a result of the spiritual
warfare the Lord has had us doing the last few years. They have
built huge monuments for the Buddhist, Hindus and Lepchas in Sikkim
to attract the tourist and they wanted to build one more large
religious monument tourist attraction. So they asked one Christian
man, not even a leader, what would he like to have? He said we want
a prayer mountain with a 100 foot cross. They said yes. They
searched for the right mountain and were given the mountain. Now
they are writing the blueprints and layouts to present to the
government for what they want.
This is the same government that when I first started coming to
that area demanded that they submit all preaching and teaching in
writing so it could be approved and kept tabs on all Christian
leaders. What a miracle change. They still need two more approvals
so please keep this is prayer as this is going to drastically affect
this area for the Lord. Because they knew the level of warfare and
the love I had for them they asked me to pray through and see what
the Lord might be showing me about Prayer Mountain.
I saw the position of the cross was facing East; that it must be
hollow with an elevator going up the middle and the elevator would
have glass walls. This would be a great tourist attraction. The top
would have a small room with windows so everyone could see from the
top. People could also come and pray. They could also place a strobe
light at the top like is used to keep airplanes from hitting tall
towers. They cross would be lighted at night. When taking a tour
through they would stop at the cross bar to say a prayer for the
people and explain the heart of the Lord, that there He proved His
great love for us.
At the bottom in a room would be several cubicles. Each cubical
would be able to show the Jesus Movie in a different language, as
there are many languages in the area and many foreigners come as
tourists. The attendants would be there for any questions or if
someone wanted to receive the Lord. They would receive literature
and a plastic cross key chain with the plan of salvation and phone
number to call should they need help.
The cross itself would be covered with scripture decrees as would
a wall between the Prayer Mountain and Rumtek. Many of you may
remember the battles I have had a Rumtek, the Buddhist Temple and
now Prayer Mountain will be right next to it. Thousands of tourists
that come to Rumtek will also come to Prayer Mountain. On one side
of the cross will be an elaborate beautiful garden. Each section of
the garden will represent a part of the life of Christ. So by the
time they have walked the garden and returned to the cross they will
know the full gospel story.
There will be a conference center there as well as 12 prayer
rooms. Each room will have a plaque depicting the history of the
world as God tells it, from creation, to Noah, to Jesus to now and
ending with the Return of Christ. This will not only be quite a
tourist attraction but will get the gospel to thousands who would
never have a chance to hear it. The Lord has also showed the
importance of the spiritual warfare in it. The light piercing the
darkness, and the constant prayer are the only things that can root
out the deception and the power of the enemy.
Sikkim and especially the city of Gantok is a bridge in the
natural between China and India being bordered by Nepal and Bhutan.
It is also a bridge in the spirit realm and a gateway we must win
back from the enemy to win an entire region of the world. Right now
like a circulatory system India and Tibet/China feed darkness in and
receive darkness out. With prayer mountain the circulatory system
will be infused with light.
Though they had already redeemed the land I knew there was more
battle there. I won’t go into details now but it was huge.
It was quite a hike in and back was all up hill. The Lepcha tribal
people who are animist, burn there dead there and there were
graveyards. There was a huge Lepcha king spirit in the land as well
as “many” other things.
The Lord also had us shut down the fishers under the ground and
all cracks. The area is known for mild earth quakes and tremors.
There are also instructions they will need to follow up on, as we
did not have time to do everything. But I will send them a list with
the specifics to follow through.
The Lord showed me there would need to be 24 hours intercession
both now and after it gets going. Each time slot must be filled. As
older people often get up in the middle of the night, He had me
suggest older people for the night watches. These must be people who
will take the commitment seriously. The Lord called this group
Soldiers of the Cross. There also needs to be worship watches.
This project is so urgent I ask you to keep it in prayer as well.
Our prayers can help put this in place and change the world for the
Lord’s end time battle plans. It was good that we went and
they were able to talk with some of the people. Someone had already
been spreading lies to get the people of the area angry with us by
telling them they would be kicked out of their homes with no where
to go. We were able to tell them that would not be the case at all
and stop what could have been big trouble.
Some of the after affects of the warfare there were intense and
unusual but it is not wisdom to talk about it now as we are still in
the enemy’s territory. But your prayer is much
appreciated. The warfare goes on.
Brother Gautam’s
It was such a pleasure to visit with my dear friends Brother
Gautam and Susan and their family. We couldn’t stay long
because of the pressure of our schedule but we always enjoy staying
there. His sister Dena is a very precious prayer warrior.
We were asked to pray for a Minister’s wife, Mingma,
who had a stroke in mid-December that led to a comma. Though she had
come out of the comma she was not improving at all and the doctors
had given up on her. I knew that the healing of the body had a key
that we must find. As we began to pray I found myself talking deep
inside of her direct to her spirit. She had always worked hard for
her family and fought hard for her God but now her family was grown
and taking a long time to even marry and there was nothing for her
to fight for the Lord. She felt useless. So when the stroke hit she
just gave up inside and said let me die.
I began to speak directly to her spirit and tell her the Lord
Jesus whom she loves wanted her to live. “No,”
she said inside, “leave me alone. No one needs me. I will
die.” She needed something to live for. Then the Lord
showed me a vision of her grandchildren, several of them. I began to
talk to her about her grandchildren and how much they needed her. I
asked her husband, whom I had met many times through the years (I
was so amazed at his love and devotion to her and his faith for her)
if she had grandchildren or I was seeing grandchildren she would
have. No she has no grandchildren now.
So I began to tell her about her grandchildren and how I saw them
and the Lord said they would need her. She began to slowly perk up
in her spirit until she believed it and realized she did need to
live and the Lord did want her to live. Now she would fight. Then we
prayed for her body and there was great break through. Now she will
fight through the rest of it. She began to smile and said her mind
was full of thoughts now. She was much stronger and her entire
attitude changed. The Lord first healed her soul then touched her
body. It was strange and wonderful. Her sweet husband was so relived
and encouraged. Praise the Lord we are learning to flow in the river
of love.
The next day we went to visit some of our dear friends in
Mungpoo, though we could not stay we did pray with them and the Lord
again ministered in the River of Love healing in the soul. I
won’t go into detail but it is this break through many
ministers and leaders need in the body of Christ. We are body, soul
and spirit but in many leaders that are beat down and burned out
they are pulling in different directions. The mind says I dread
this, I am sick of all these hurtful ungrateful people who never
understand, I wish I could quite. The Spirit says I love the Lord
and I jut want to obey Him but I am so wounded. The body is wore out
and just wants a rest. As I have studied the lives of revivalists
that fell I now see being divided against themselves was a big part
of their fall.
What that means is they, the temple of the Lord, are divided,
which makes it hard for the Lord to join with them and flow through
them. What they have they minister to the people. So they are
divided in themselves and they minister division. Then the churches
have offenses and splits. Is it any wonder that the leaders need a
healing and reuniting in themselves? We must keep the beaten oil in
the lamps in the holy place in the temple (our lives) the keep the
fire of God going and the light shining. The oil that flows from the
wounds in our lives is often the greatest fire of glory. We must
keep it flowing.
Tell It Like It Is
Often people come for a word from the prophet. They have heard I
will tell them the word of the Lord but often they do not realize
how far the word of the Lord will be from what they want to hear.
One man came to ask why his business was failing and to ask the Lord
to prosper his business or tell him another business to start that
he would bless. The word of the Lord to him was you are selfish and
your heart is far from God. Your life is like someone who goes to
your field and demand a harvest from the Lord but you have not
plowed or sown the seed in the soil. There is no harvest for such
people. Your heart is far from the Lord and very selfish, turn to
the Lord before it is too late. Though you say His name it is only
with your mind and there has been no change in your heart. You have
no time even to go to church and the Lord has no time for you until
you are ready to get saved.
The man was a bit shocked but nodded that this was true. His main
concern was his family near by. By the end of our praying for others
he was again behaving like a selfish unrepentant man. I knew he
would acknowledge the word was true but do nothing about it but at
least my hands were clean of his blood before the Lord for I had
warned him. His wife was very sweet and the Lord healed her and
their baby.
So many ministers come for a word and many others with a heritage
of witch doctors in the family wanted to know what to do to remove
the curses. The Lord always meets them at their need. Only the Lord
has the answers they need, sometimes being very specific.
Doctor Graham’s School
We were asked to go a pray over a Christian school in the area
called Doctor Graham’s Homes. It seems there were many
instances of demonic possession of children but before these
children to the home they were normal and they had no problem. There
were several girls usually in grades 5-7 that there hands would turn
blue and a demon voice would come through them, then they would try
to hurt the others. Several had to be expelled from school and one
was hospitalized. Now the school wanted prayer. They have 1300
– 1500 students coming often from far away and sometimes
other countries like Bhutan and Nepal. Most of the students were not
Christians but had come there because the school had a good
reputation and would give the best academic results. It is a
boarding school and they have a small orphanage. Children are sent
to the school to live as early as 3 and 4 years old and they have
smaller children in the orphanage.
They wanted us to pray over the dorms, called cottages, where the
problems occurred but I knew that was only the surface. As we began
to pray for instructions in the main cottage and worship it was very
difficult to hear. I could hear the enemy saying he had a right to
be there and that he could not be made to leave. When I told
Moneema, my dear friend that works there, she said the demon had
said the same thing through one of the girls.
I told her there were 3 graveyards but they could only see 2. She
said there were 2 graveyards only but when we asked later we found
the entire area used to be a graveyard. But the graveyard was there
to feed something. It was not the main problem. As we broke through
in prayer I began to see a hole in the dirt, like excavation to
build something. I saw it again and again. Finally the Lord said,
deep in the earth are two tunnels. Where the two tunnels cross is
the main source of power. The Muslims used to rule this area
hundreds of years ago and were very cruel. The people worshiped in
these tunnels and cursed the Muslims. The curses remained in the
land.
It took some research to find out that indeed the Muslims had at
one time ruled in that area and really all of India. Later I found
out that the tunnels were caves and that the people hid there to
worship and curse their oppressors the Muslims. After the Muslims
left the land was barren and empty for a long time and eventually
became a graveyard. When Doctor Graham dug in the ground to build
the first building that stirred up those curses. That was in 1901.
They have since had a history of problems, sickness and death. In
2000 they had tried to command some of these demonic things to leave
but it only served to push the curses back into the ground. So the
demons began to move on the children. These children had planted
things in the land led by these demons to give the demons more legal
rights.
We were to go to the first building that had been built, to a
circle of flowers that would not grow well. That would be the cross
point of the cave tunnels beneath and there redeem the land. We
found that the building was indeed the building we had been praying
in and it had been built in 1901. You could feel the curses and the
blood in the land when you stood on the spot we were to pray. This
was on the knoll of a hill. No big surprise that at the bottom of
the hill lived many witches trying to draw power from the source in
the land. No doubt they added to the curses and caused much trouble.
So the Lord had us build a spirit wall against them to block them
out.
It was a bit of a battle to shut down the curses and redeem the
land. Then some of the ladies would go from cottage to cottage and
pray later to finish. The curses in the land were many from many
sources, the Lepchas, the Hindus, the Buddhists, the Muslims and the
witches. In one place I kept hearing the word Gormu. No one
recognized it but later I heard them use the word Gorma that means
Home in Nepalie. In the place where I heard the name a woman perhaps
just a bit older than me remembered something she saw when she was
just a girl.
They had a chimney that would not work properly no matter what
they did so they finally walled it up. Later they would find little
children with their hands on the wall talking to something in the
wall. I believe that something in the wall was Gormu. Later the Lord
told me he was a Lepcha King and the cottage had been built on his
grave.
We then got to witness to the children in one cottage, very few
were Christians but all prayed with us to receive Jesus. The Dorm
mother was so pleased she arranged for us to go to other cottages
and tell the children about Jesus. It was getting late by now but we
were able to go to about 6 cottages total with about 35-40 kids per
cottage. In the ones I was in (we split up to cover more cottages)
only one or two would raise their hand when I asked if they were
Christians but all received Jesus before we left. Praise the Lord.
What a blessing. I am praying that next year we will be able to do
even more there.
In praying for some families we found the curses from Dr.
Graham’s Homes in the homes of people who had been
associated with them, so the effects of this problem were far
reaching. We told the 2 women that helped us they would need to
watchers on the wall and keep the school covered by the blood of
Jesus and break curses daily. Some many students that serve idols
could bring much damage in.
Aglow
We had a wonderful time with the Aglow Fellowship here in
Kalimpong. Many were healed and delivered. One woman hurt all over
and had a burning sensation. I could tell some infection had spread
through her blood. The Lord healed her. Another woman that we prayed
for at first wasn’t healed. Then I saw a woodpecker on her
back. I prayed commanding it to leave but still she was not healed.
I got quiet before the Lord and asked the Lord what to do. He said
forgive her. We had prayed over the woman several times with no
results. But now I began to forgive her and proclaim whom we forgive
the Lord forgives, she is forgiven. She was instantly healed without
further prayer. All the pain was gone. How often in the Bible the
Lord linked healing and forgiveness. So many were healed and
delivered and one non-Christian got saved.
The meeting ran into our next meeting, which was a home meeting
in a demonic area. We had about 40-50 people and most needed
deliverance. Many were healed and delivered and we even prayed
deliverance for a couple of non-Christians and at least one of them
got saved.
I earlier had seen a spirit that looked like a thin female lion.
I knew it caused headaches, backaches, and anger. That turned out to
be a lot of what we prayed for. It was very exhausting one
deliverance after another for so long. Then we prayed over the homes
of our hosts and their families. The last home had layers of
trouble. Some trouble he remembered from when he was a kid but the
other was much blood from some war and beneath that tribal curses.
The middle layer was the worst with a huge spirit that looked
somewhat like an American Indian but not exactly, his name was
Tubal. As it was late we wrote down the instructions for them to
remove this warrior tribal spirit and redeem the land.
THANK YOU
I thank you for your prayers. Some of our biggest battles are
coming up as well as the second conference in Jaigaon. The first
conference cost just under $1000 so you can see why we need
additional financial help. That covers not only the meeting hall and
food for everyone but a place to sleep for those who traveled far
and transportation costs for those who could not have come if we had
not paid there way. These leaders and pastors are poor and would
otherwise not be able to be encouraged and strengthened like they so
desperately needed. Thank you for your giving and your prayers, we
still have some needs but the Lord is faithful.
Next year we hope to have at least 3 conferences for 5 days each
instead of 2 conferences for 3 days each and we are expecting many
more people to come. In our first conference we had between 100-200
depending on the time of day.
May the Lord bless you for being His prayer partners in what He
is doing in the earth and I thank you with all my heart.
