From India

Because I do not have a computer of my own now I will have to keep this report short. 4 days of travel to Eluru in Andrea Pradesh. Leaving home March 21st 10am and arriving March 24th around 6pm. The heat there is extreme but so was the anointing. Sometimes in ministering to what seems like an endless line the sweat was so much I could no longer see because of all the sweat in my eyes, my clothes were often drenched and my feet, hands and face swollen. But the people are wonderfully healed and delivered. It is not much to give when the Lord is giving and doing so much.

In one small village where most of the walls of the homes and the church was made of palm fronds and roofs were thatched, the power of God flowed but only after we stopped the music that was mainly on tribal drums. In some instance drums are fine but some how in this instance it stopped the anointing. As always in most meetings I had to tell people hard things, this could make the interpreters very nervous. One man I told he was violent and needed to repent, another that he had a spirit of lust, there was also those who had murder or hatred but they always admitted it and were wonderfully delivered. Then there faces would light up like a candle as they felt that terrible load lifted.

Many people called relatives to travel just to be with me a few minutes because they new the Lord was with us. Often when praying for people they would say just bless them but I couldn’t put my hand on without feeling the need and drawing on the anointing. Several Hindus came in to be prayed for from time to time. The Love of God manifests to them so that they receive the Lord. One sweet old man wept when he saw the Lord’s tears of love on my face. It changed his life. It was an amazing thing to see. It is the Love of God manifesting that is meeting people at their need

One young Bible School student had a torn soul, almost completely split in two. The Lord showed me that when he was small he almost died from falling. His family was there and said yes he had fallen from a roof at the age of six and almost died. Somehow this cause his spirit to split but the Lord wonderfully restored him. He is a fine young man and God will do good things with him.

We had a special church service and festival to celebrate the Pastor’s son’s first bite of solid food which I was allowed to give him. We redeemed the church property of an area they were having trouble. Because of the ways the laws are written a person can come and inhabit your house if you are not there, when you prove it is your land they do not have to leave until it goes to court. Court can take years to resolve this issue. If this person bribes the court to take a long time and the length of time is longer than 6 years this person then owns the land legally because they have lived there 6 years. So there was a great battle in the spirit to protect their land. Redeeming this land the enemy was trying to steal made the enemy so angry that he physically pushed the Pastor’s dad (a retired pastor) and caused him to hurt his head.

This retired pastor and his wife are so loving and sweet. I am amazed. He had a vision of me before I came and the Lord told him to accept me as a daughter. So he bought me a lovely gold ring to prove to me I am his daughter now and I will always have a home with them. I can’t tell you how much that meant to me. I will keep this ring always. Praise God for giving me family in the remote places of the earth.

I will not go into details of the battle but it had to do with what the Lord called the Midnight Sun. Jesus is the Morning Sun but this midnight sun I had never heard of. It produces darkness instead of light and seems to be linked to a prophet here that is a Muslim they believe to be one of their gods reincarnate. It is a big battle and will take much more than a little visit.

So many saved, healed, filled with the Holy Spirit and delivered it is hard to keep track of it. From grass huts to conferences to crusades the Lord moved powerfully. In one crusade we had 1100 or more people. At least a couple of hundred (between the two sessions) got saved. Praise God. Almost every single person wanted prayer for healing (that’s well over a 1000). Many would actually come and say I am demon possessed help me. In one meeting a girl who was born deaf and dumb could now hear and repeat syllables. Praise God. So many people for one person to pray for in one session but the Lord did it. After praying for 5-6 hours I can’t think of even one person who wasn’t healed. I know the unity of your prayers with me and the Lord’s mighty hand has done these awesome things.

In the evening they didn’t want to let me leave and even surrounded the car and tried to force their way in. They are hungry for a touch from God. One healing stands out of the many blind eyes (one stone blind), deaf ears, hearts, TB, etc. Several stroke victims were healed. One man was paralyzed on his left side. Later I saw him trying to pick up a big rock with one hand and finally lifted it over his head. He ran to the platform to testify that he was healed. We always had them check their healing. So many amazing things. Perhaps I will share more later. I always try to pray for the pastors, their family and leaders. We had one Pastor’s meeting there and was able to speak some things into the pastor’s lives. That was precious. God was awesome and I am grateful.

In one tribal village of the Lombarti the people were extremely primitive, living in mud huts. Everything was extremely demonic. We saw some strange sites there, like the incarnate monkey god with his long rope tail sticking straight out and the tribals with their vests of mirrored glass and strange ankle bracelets and demonic symbols. But still god moved and they need to know God as well. It was in one of these meetings that I was given a child to keep as a servant, a bit of a shock to say the least. He was about 10 years old. I thanked them but let them know no matter how much they insisted the government would never let him on the plane.

On the plane to North India I heard the voice of an old black tribal man telling me that I must guard the visions of my heart and make sure they always include the poor of the earth, who often receive with such simplicity and love that it is better to minister to them than intellectuals. When I tried to explain how hard it was on me physically, he simply told me to trust God for that. I have asked the Lord to guard the visions of my heart to include the poor.

In North India in Kalimpong, we had the first Pastor’s Conference. It went well. We had on average about 200. Some are pastors, some Bible School students and others as well. They were really blessed with the teachings and the Lord is also pouring out his anointing mightily. Many have gotten delivered. The last night the enemy sent someone on assignment to stop us. All of the leaders felt it and knew it was true. Praying was hard. I got the word to those in charge to pray. Finally I was praying for one Presbyterian Pastor who was mightily touched by God, when a young woman went ballistic. She was all over the room. She began to hit the pastor who was on the floor. The leaders couldn’t contain her.

I took authority over that demon as Jesus did in the Bible. I told them this meeting belongs to Jesus Christ and it would not disrupt it. I commanded it to stop. She calmed enough and I had them bring her to me as I sat on the floor, there I held her binding the demon from disrupting. Then the Lord had me forgive her for being so used by the devil to come hurt us and by being a tool of Satan. Then she was delivered. Praise God. There were other deliverances after that I won’t get into details but the meeting came back into the hands of the Lord and ended in intense sweet love. Praise God.

From there I went to Darjeeling where they have an extreme water shortage. They haul water from the mountains in large containers and people then rush into the streets and fill any container they can. With a city of hundreds of thousands that is a serious problem. I ministered in Pastor John Mangratee’s church. A dear young pastor that I enjoyed working with. The Lord moved well there. His mother is also a powerful warrior. I was able to minister to their family and encourage them. I was also able to visit with my dear beloved ones Pastor and Mrs. Gisshing.

The on to visit my wonderful friends in Mungpoo, Pastor Edmond and his dear wife Bonita. Let it be said of this man he is a true worshiper, that says it all. We had a lovely meeting where quite a few got saved and touched by God. It was really special. Then after ministering to the family came back to Kalimpong.

We had a wonderful conference in Gantok. I will keep this short but so many saved, healed and delivered and so many stories I could tell. Even on person who stutters was healed of stuttering. Every morning more and more people from the Presbyterian church would be waiting for prayer and ministry before I went out. They were so touched and what a witness to them it was. So many dear friends there, how good God is to give me such precious friends.

Bhutan - Last year we sort of sneaked across the border and prayed for the decision their court was going to make on how to handle Christians. The entire incident has gone in favor of the Christians. This is very important. Praise God. So many praise reports and answers to spiritual warfare.

1. Sikkim an area where Christians were restricted, pastor’s had to pre-submit sermons for approval and were followed. Now has been given a prayer mountain and the opportunity to build a huge monument to the Lord at government expense. Keep these in prayer because there are still some battles. I challenge you to keep this in prayer.

2. Darjeeling A cruel politician that some years before had caused a massacre of the Christians and was heading that way again now is persecuting the Buddhists and ignoring the Christians. The people are confused but we Praise God.

3. Lava We prayed over this area from Tiffin now where there were no Christians at all and the Buddhists were extremists they are building a church.

4. Bhutan Last year we sneaked across the border so to speak with the help of my dear friend Bro. Gamso, supposedly just to have a special Bhutanese breakfast but we went straight to the Buddhist temple to pray over the area. The royalty was about to take a vote that would decide if Christians would be persecuted or tolerated. NOW this has been kicked out of the Royal Court by the king. Christians will be tolerated if they do not openly evangelize even for the first time allowing church. Two young men were arrested for showing the Jesus movie. Normally they would be killed or beaten but the courts did not know what to do with them because of this new ruling. So they are just held where they are there they are evangelizing the prison and many are coming to Christ. Praise God. Please pray for these two men. What they do with them will set a precedent.

5. Dr. Grahams School Last year had a problem with children becoming demon possessed and threatening other children with a deep male voice. Since we prayed no more trouble.

And the list goes on and on. Even in homes that were redeemed where there was constant sickness and fear they are now well and have no fear praise God. The RSS and other radical Hindu groups have shut down several crusades taking the microphone away and having the foreign speaker arrested and removed from the country never able to return. That is why prayer protection is important.

The borders of Nepal have closed because of internal violence of the Maoist, many have been killed in the last few weeks. But I was able to go for one day only. I had a lot of trouble at the border and spiritual battles as well but they really needed this encouragement and refreshing.

BHUTAN

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS. You have no idea how thick the enemy can be until you go to Bhutan. I got sick with vomiting and diarrhea the moment I came to the border and stayed sick until I returned. Then it lifted like a great cloud. It was a spiritual attack.

Physically Bhutan is beautiful. Tall mountains covered with thick jungle, many huge waterfalls and lots of animals. I got to see several monkeys and a small black squirrel; also an animal that is the country symbol called a Taken. It is supposed to be demonically created as a cross between a goat and a cow.

In Bhutan it is like communist Russia. No mentioning Jesus at all or you can be kicked out of the country, a guide must be with you at all times. You cannot go on your own, Very restricted. But some of the guides were Christians and helped us meet with other Christians. There are 2 believers in jail now, so the situation is tense and I was asked not to go to the only larger church. They cannot have a church building but can meet in homes or rented halls.

In a small house group I ministered, then in a man came in. It had been going well but when he came it was like a cold demonic spirit blew through the place. I was told to announce that I was meeting with Christian friends only and that I was not trying to convert any others. He was a spy for the government, who came in to curse us but we prayed and continued and the Lord blessed.

I did not have the money to go to Bhutan but amazingly the people of North Sikkim gave enough offerings for me to go and the travel agent in Bhutan was so blessed with my ministry that she returned most of the money to me. I still need funds for the Philippines but what miracles God has already wrought.

On the border so many saved healed and delivered. One story about that only. They brought me a teenage girl about 15. She could only rock back and forth and mutter nonsense. She could not look at you or talk to you or do anything for herself.

As I began to pray for her the Lord said do not touch her head that is where the demon is. The Little Girl is asleep deep inside. She shut down and went to sleep at about age 10 when the demon came because she could not cope with the constant attack. So I began to talk to her gut. Little girl wake up - I need you to wake up and fight so we can win this battle for you.

No, she would say by her spirit inside. I have tried and I'm scared - leave me alone. But I kept on. Finally she said (from deep inside by the spirit) can you really help me?? Yes I said. Come wake up though or I need your help to do it.

She said, Okay. Then only deliverance started and it was quite a battle. She threw up and calmed down but I knew the demon was not gone but playing dead. Still I helped her and prayed, then finally I saw a big slimy thing in the spirit ooze out of her head and she threw up again.

We washed her face and I talked with her. She said - Thank you - smiling so big. She said she felt well and was very happy and began to jump up and down for joy. She spoke good English, which she learned in school before this demon came on her. She had this demon since she was 10 and she had it for 5 years. She is now like a normal 10 year old and will begin to develop from the stage she went to sleep inside. She was so very happy as was her mom. Praise God for His Amazing Grace.

I am back in Kalimpong and have been ministering in some churches here and redeeming the land in areas. I am just about to go to Siliguri and then on to Delhi and from there to the Philippines. Please keep praying.

It seems I am getting dangerously famous a bit. Well known people who come and have crusades are often kicked out of the country at gun point and forbidden to return, often with a big riot. While I was in Gantok (so many healed and delivered, even one person healed of stuttering and I have been told that even after these many days since I left the area still no stuttering) The CIA of India came asking questions of who I was and why I was teaching. At the same time in Kalimpong the CIA was asking my friends here the same questions about me. When I came back across the border from Bhutan I was told. We know you - you are the teacher from Kalimpong. This is dangerous to say the least. The RSS (Hindu fanatic sect - target people like this). Please pray they will lose interest in me and leave me alone. I myself really believe it will blow over without incident.

Thank you for your prayers so much. I can't tell you how much I have needed them and how much they have accomplished. I am so glad I am finally getting to send a newsletter. Please contact me. In the Philippines I will be able to check emails a bit more often. Thank you again. You really are making a difference.
