It is good to be back home. I especially love seeing the grand children. I am going to try to be briefer in commenting on this trip and not go on and on with long stories. I love to share the details and I believe some of the in depth stories teach a lesson or show how you became involved by your prayers but I am trying to learn to value your time and manage mine better by not being so lengthy, as some have requested. I will try to make pictures available on my website later.

 

The Lord has given me a Word concerning this ministry. Now He has confirmed it twice by very reliable sources (who did not know what the Lord had already spoken to me) that I am to also start traveling in the United States and Canada to minister. This will be in addition to the work in the nations. This is not something I dare try to “make” happen but I make myself available as the Lord opens doors. Many in the USA and Canada need to be equipped for Spiritual Warfare and the End Times Battle. They have great battles in their areas that they need insight on or help with. It is a time to train the leaders in the battles and I know the Lord is making the way to do that. Please keep this matter in prayer that only as the Lord directs will it move forward and it will not be hindered.

 

 

What a blessing to Work with Pastor Monique and her husband Bernard and their son Jerome. People came from many different places and the Lord ministered wonderfully. There were deep inner healings, deliverances and physical healings. The Lord moved in prophecy to change people’s lives revealing deep things and then giving them His answer.

 

One young man whose life was turned around was so excited about the change and the new beginning that it was a great joy just to watch him. He was so excited that God knew him personally and in detail and that God had a plan for him.

 

One big black man I prayed for received a deep prophecy about the battles he faced and would face and that the Lord had called him to be a warrior and how the Lord was well able to take care of him and his family in hard situations. He must face hard circumstances and a hard people. The word was very detailed and personal. He came to me later with Jerome to interpret for him. He couldn’t believe the detailed accuracy of the word that described his circumstances and his life in detail. He was next in line to be “chief” of his tribe. When his dad died he didn’t want to be chief so he ran away. Now his family and his tribe are very angry with him to the point that if he returned they might kill him. But “none” of his tribe is saved that he knows of. He got saved after he ran away. He knows somehow he must return and tell his tribe about Jesus and he must do it as their chief. It will be a great battle but God has already promised the victory. God is amazing.

 

We had such a blessed time in Vichy and have made wonderful friendships there. One of the funny things on the trip was that the word for sin and the word for peach are almost identical. Peach is Péche and the sin is Péché. At first I got confused when reading from the overhead used for songs that Jesus washed all my peaches away. But once it was explained that the accent mark on the last e changed the meaning I was tickled by it. Then I could hardly sing a song with the word sin in it without thinking of peaches.

 

Though the group was small, varying from 7-10 people, it was strategic to ministry to the core group of ministers and intercessors in that area. It is a hard area to work in at best and those who have committed themselves there need encouraged, strengthened and equipped to the work. The Lord did a deep and personal work in each person and it was a rich time of friendship and sharing in the Lord. They are so hungry for more of Lord.

 

 

I ministered in Pastor Jacques church in Rome. What a joy to the see the change and growth there. Why? This ministry was able to help with a few seeds planted in November but the real change came when the Lord called Pastor Jacques to fast and pray for his church and his area. [The area being hard ground to sow seed in because it is in the shadow of the Vatican.] His church before was just a good handful but he had a promise from God.

 

At first he fasted every Saturday but then the Lord called him to fast three days a month in addition to that, at the beginning of the month. Sometimes he was the only one at the prayer meetings but he didn’t let that STOP him. It was discouraging I’m sure but he just kept doing what God showed him to do, even when there were no immediate results. But God honors obedience and faithfulness and now his church has grown so that he will soon have to have another place to meet because he has almost outgrown the church he is in. It is not the number of people fasting and praying, it is the faithfulness. What a lesson for all of us in God’s faithfulness to this Pastor’s faithfulness.

 

Not only that when I was there in November his church was under such attack in the spirit that it was a difficult place to minister in. Now the entire spiritual atmosphere of his church has changed. What a joy to see the Lord’s rich reward. They still have quite a few battles but the results are becoming evident and they will continue as the Lord leads them to fast and pray.

 

Many were healed emotionally and touched in these services and many were delivered but many more were healed physically in these services than in other services. First, people did not ask for healing much in most of the other services but I also believe that many of the miracles are a direct result of their fasting and prayer. Pastor Jacque prayed that the people would be touched in a deep and personal way to meet their need. He prayed there would be a real change in each person and that is exactly what happened.

 

That Sunday morning we ministered from some time just after 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 counting sidewalk time. That is eight hours of ministry in one service and the people would have stayed for more but another church meets there in the evening so we had to leave. When we finally “had” to leave people still followed us on to the sidewalk wanting prayer. They were hungry and ready because the ground had been plowed in fasting and prayer. Praise God.

 

This was a trip with a lot of time driving. Starting in Paris the drive to Panassac was about 10 hours; then later on to Spain about 5 hours and from Spain to Vichy 10 hours. Then on to Potsdam 16 hours then to Rome 16 hours and back to Paris 16 hours. Some of these driving times should have been less but wrecks, road construction, borders, and getting lost added hours to some. Sometimes I didn’t get where I was going until almost 2:30 in the morning. I knew this took a miracle of protection and God’s ability to stay awake. Thank you for your prayers.

 

It has taken a bit longer than usual to bounce back from this trip because of fatigue, jet lag and something in my stomach (I know don’t drink the water but I did some.) but I am doing better now and ready to go for the Lord again. Thank you for your prayers that kept me safe.

 

It was on these long drives that the Lord seemed to bring a major break through for my life personally. The Lord worked some deep intense spiritual surgeries on these long drives. So I have come home I believe different and still in a process of change. It is a time of new beginnings and a time for the kind of changes only God can make.

 

It was really a blessed trip and I can’t express the changes and impacts that were made there. What a wonderful blessing that the impact will continue long after I am gone via television all over Europe, CD’s, tapes and Radio. One friend Marbella lives on the island of Curacao and is taking the audios of the meetings to air over the radio there. It’s hard to imagine how the Lord can take such a little and make a lot out of it but He can. Many purchased the CD’s and will listen to them again and again. What a blessing to see such hunger.

 

Your prayers made the difference. We are a team. Alone not so much but together we are like a giant. One feather doesn’t fly well but keep them all together focused on the same purpose and how high they can fly. We join together to the Lord’s wing in prayer when we stand together in prayer and because of that we soar high above that which would stop us and accomplish great things we could never dream of alone. This is the unity the enemy often tries to stop in the body of Christ and we must be vigilant to defend it. 

 

The Lord gave me a wonderful story between Florence and Rome. I am in the process of writing it and I will share it with you very soon. These stories and teachings, my experiences and even my mistakes are my way of sharing with you all that you did with me; all that you were a part of. If in some way they teach or bless you, which I pray they do that is my way of sharing back with you some of what you so richly shared with me.

 

I truly thank you.
