As I prepare for the upcoming trip I just want to thank you for your prayers. They are much needed. There are several situations that need bathed in prayer from the conferences, to the salvation of the lost and the healing of the multitudes that leads to the salvation of the lost. Of course with the level of warfare we will be facing we need prayer for protection and that the government, who had taken a special interest in me after my last trip, will ignore me and not hinder me this trip.

 

We need funds. I praise the Lord that I have my tickets, and that’s a financial miracle but I now need funds for the:

 

Pastor’s Conferences

Crusades to Heal and Reach the Lost – Expecting 10,000 – 30,000 to come this time

Nepalie Refugee Camp Ministry

Revivals

Women’s and Youth Conferences

And Travel Expenses

 

To accomplish these things takes thousands of dollars and we are still very short of what we need at this time. But God!  I am always amazed at how He works the miracles not only in deliverances and healing but also in finances. What are funds compared to changing the world and seeing so many come to Jesus? Nothing. It’s what it’s all about.

 

For those of you who pray on the Spiritual Warfare side, the enemy seems to be gunning for me this time, so to speak and has called in special forces from Tibet just for me. Please keep this trip bathed in special prayer. As always I thank you for your part and I know you are with me when I go and in all that the Lord does on this trip. Thank you for being the Lord’s Prayer Partner.

 

I am going to keep the report on the trip to Ohio very short and not get as detailed as usual because the enemy in Ohio likes to read my newsletters, so I don’t want to be too informative.

 

This trip was somewhat like 007. It was a spy game, not just in the spirit but also with live people. I knew it would be. The enemy is networked and was ready for me to come. When I arrived even close to the area the Lord warned me they would be looking for my car. He told me I was being followed well before I spotted it. It was snowing pretty hard and I was traveling down a 4 lane trying to see street signs at close to 1:00 am. It was a 50 mph speed limit but I slowed down to 30 mph trying to check my map. The only car behind me could have easily passed but they slowed down as well, matching my speed. Interesting I thought. So I slowed down to 20 mph to see what they would do. They again matched my speed.

 

So I pulled over and stopped, then they had to pass me but as soon as I reached the next intersection I picked up another tail testing it in the same manner. Kind of funny that they had vehicles watching for me at major intersections to see which way I would go at 1:00 am in the morning. But I got lost so I lost them. I guess that took me in a completely different direction than they were prepared for. It was funny.

 

From there things progressed. One morning I got up early for prayer as I always do and the Lord said, “You need to call the intercessors to meet with you 30 minutes before the meeting because there is something urgent you need to take care of before the meeting.” The schedule for that day was somewhat hectic and so by the time I got a chance to tell Pastor Jackie what the Lord said it was within an hour of the meeting or there about.

 

She said she had forgotten that at 6:30 am she was looking out the front window by the front door to see if she could see the stray cats she feeds and saw someone walking up the drive with something in their hand. She said later that the streetlight should have allowed her to see them clearly but for some reason she couldn’t. They were walking as though they were heading for the front door but when they saw her peeking out the window they stopped and did something and ran off.

 

I am sure they intended to pour their potion on the front door to affect not only the house but also all who entered but ended up pouring it where they got caught instead. When we went outside in the freezing cold to pray over that area it was extremely evident something was there. We were able to bind it and stop it in the name of Jesus Christ and continue to have a great meeting that night. The Lord told me that there were many interesting moments when the enemy encountered the angels that protect us instead of just us peeking through the windows. That would have been fun to see.

 

Some things were comical. When the Lord told me to put my hair up under a hat none of the hats were really big enough to contain all of my hair very well (I have a lot of hair) but I tried. The idea was that for days I had not gone out, other people had come and gone but not me. From a distance especially they would be looking for the hair. If they saw that they knew that something could be up. So if I put all my hair up under a hat from a distance they would just think it was someone else leaving. But when I went to get into the car the bill of the hat hit the door and down went my hair. The enemy was alerted and the rest was like an old movie.

 

So many places we went the tail was obvious. I am sure there were others we didn’t spot. I could tell several stories but to keep it short I won’t. Often they would arrive just as we were done. The spiritual enemy of that area had been planning a retaliation that would have cost many lives and we had to shut it down. I won’t go into all the places we went or what we did for obvious reasons. One thing I will say is that certain ones of the spiritual enemy were afraid of us. They were hurt last time and remembered it. One in particular, kept saying it is better to take this hit than the retaliation the Father will send if I hurt you, which is true. The Word of God says that the Lord avenges us and protects us. Our warfare was a success. We did feel the enemy trying to retaliate for a couple of weeks but there is nothing he can really do if we remain obedient to the Lord. It was interesting that on the long drive home I could see the battle change as I crossed sate lines and how the enemy was networking to keep the attack going.

 

Meetings were wonderful and not only was the presence of God there but often an outpouring of the love of Christ would manifest. Lives were touched and even pastors came to be renewed and encouraged in the Lord. Sometimes we would feel the enemy trying to attack the meeting and by the time I was ready to alert the intercessors several of them would already know and be in the next room praying. Praise God. In one meeting it seemed as we started in worship everything was in the flesh. I stopped the meeting and told everyone to pray because we were not going to have a meeting in the flesh but in the anointing and when the anointing was restored we continued. God is faithful.

 

The trip was a great success and I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your prayers and needed them. Thank you. 

 

 

John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

 

The word life there is Zoe. It stands for life in some instances but in most instances it stands for God life. God life is the opposite of sin, which is death. So God life is not only life but also righteousness and holiness in the Lord. That is why the answer to the thief coming to steal, kill and destroy is zoe because God life stops death and destruction by its very nature. Better yet it’s ours and we can call on it when we need it. The life of Christ in us not only stops death but also creates God’s character of holiness in our character. Isn’t that what we need. What a promise Jesus was giving that we need to call on.

 

Let’s take this a step further. 1 John 5:16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death.

 

When a loved one sins we can forgive them with a God forgiveness on God’s behalf. When we do that instead of their sin bringing death, which it does by the very nature of sin, it brings them God life (Zoe), which is righteousness and holiness. Can you think of a few loved ones that you would like to forgive not just for yourself but also on God’s behalf and release the God Zoe life of righteousness and holiness to them? The results would be that the death (sin) that has laid hold on them would begin to be replaced with this God life of righteousness. This is a good thing for all of us to pray.
