I want to thank you for all your prayers and support. The last you heard I needed $4000 to complete this trip (while I was still in the middle of the trip) but when you are doing what the Lord has assigned you to do, He does the impossible to take care of you (if you don’t undermine your blessing with worry and fear). I just want to give Him praise and let you know even in India that money came in just in time. Though I have some needs after coming home – the Lord met all the needs for the trip and He will abundantly meet these needs as well. He’s that way for me and He’ll be that way for you too.

 

Many of you already know that in Darjeeling, India my wallet and computer was stolen. Being without my computer has made it hard but I trust the Lord to give me an even better notebook computer than the one I had – Agree with me for that. In my wallet I had my passport, my visa (permission to be in India from the India Consulate), my drivers license, debit and credit cards and lots of other information. People began to pray for the Lord to recover and bless.

 

It was going to cost several hundred dollars for me to make a special trip to Delhi to go to the American Embassy to get a temporary passport and then a new exit visa (or they wouldn’t let me leave India). The flight to Delhi, the hotel for the night and an all day taxi waiting as I went from place to place to do paper work and the cost of the passport itself was almost $600 USD. But the people in the Gantok, Sikkim area of North India gave offerings that exactly covered all of the expenses. That is a huge miracle and an answer to prayer.

 

Then everyone at the American Embassy told me that it would be impossible to get my paperwork done in one day. It would take a lot of luck and even luck wouldn’t be able to do that, they said. But I told them I had much better than luck, the Lord is on my side. Everywhere I went the Lord gave me favor. Some people had been waiting for their paperwork for over two weeks.  Everyone was shocked when I was out of there in time to catch my evening flight. That was a major miracle and an answer to prayer. Thank you for praying.

 

Wow!!! We fit together like a hand in a glove. They were awesome. They were such a tremendous help, never complaining when things were hot or difficult. I was so extremely pleased with them that I pray they will come again for an even longer period of time next year. Pastor Lowell was great at both teaching and preaching. Everyone was very blessed by him. The thing I liked the most is because of the Bible School he is over he was able to take each thing he taught the pastors and give them a practical life application time at the end. That was so good.

 

Jackie is a leader in intercession. What a testimony that she would have been well able to teach or preach but knew that her assignment was intercession and was pleased to do it and did it well. We were so in sync spiritually that we often completed each other’s statements about what we were seeing in the spirit realm. They were so in tune often seeing attacks that I missed and making sure we watched each other’s back’s at all times.

 

Later I will talk about some of the battles we were in together, their authority and insights were definitely key. No matter what we saw or what happened they were unwavering and unafraid. Praise God for such awesome partners and friends. I feel I could take them anywhere and probably will.

 

We had about 200-250 pastors and leaders from several different countries. I shared the time equally with Pastor Lowell, who did an excellent job. We have already begun to get reports of how people have been really blessed and are using the things they learned during the conference.

 

It’s the old adage give a man some food and you will feed him for a couple of days but teach him how to garden and give him seed and you can feed him for a lifetime. Teaching the people is nice but the number of people and the number of locations you can go is limited but when you teach and strengthen the pastors and leaders you are reaching massive areas and many people through them.

 

The first morning went so very well but by the afternoon everything started breaking; the sound system, then the electric went off, then our voices went out. Suddenly I began to hear the enemy saying over and over, “You hurt me!” I wondered how we had hurt him. I sure wanted to be sure to do it again. Then it occurred to me that we had entered into the depths of worship and that hurt the principality of that region deeply. So we determined to do it even more and trust the Lord to stop the pranks the enemy was pulling on our stuff. If deep worship hurts the enemy, then lets do it all the time. What a weapon.

 

We stayed hours after each evening praying for the needs of the leaders. Some needed deliverance because of the demons of the land that had attacked them for doing the work. It was an intense time with many testimonies. Several came back the second night just to testify about their healing.

 

Who would believe such a thing – a Dragon Bird? The people who have seen it and those who have been hurt by it will tell you – it’s not a game it’s real. While I was still in the USA the Lord began to prepare me for this battle. I saw a very strange creature that was half dragon and half bird. His chest was like bronze metal scales. His feathers were a burnt orange like fire. His beak was very long and pointed filled with 3 rows of razor sharp teeth. That was new a bird with teeth. The top of his head also came to a very tall point. (Ama Mishra pointed out that the Tibetan Lamas wear a tall pointed hat just like the top of this bird’s head.) He had very long tail feathers and big feet. He was huge.

 

When I asked the Lord who or what this was, He let me know this creature was assigned to fight me. Me? Why? Because I had defeated the dragon of Rumtek twice, so this bird was called in to stop me. They knew I would come again. I felt like Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke (a western show) called out by the outlaw’s best gunfighter. So I said, “Okay Lord, so what if I don’t want to fight this guy?” “Then he will hurt the Christians of that area and he has already begun to do that.” The Lord said.  “So I have to fight him?” I asked. “Yes” the Lord answered bluntly.

 

It all seemed very unreal then. The Lord called me to a 25 day fast even asking me to get up and pray one hour in the middle of the night each night. I knew this must be serious stuff. I also knew the Dragon Bird’s powers came from Tibet. He was a huge bird. He was considered their top fighter. I was not afraid because I knew the battle is really the Lord’s and He would not call me to something that He wouldn’t enable me to do by His grace. But I was concerned about the Christians of that area. I sent an email to warn them but somehow they never got it.

 

The first thing I did was check the prehistoric records to see if there was any record of such a creature ever existing. I couldn’t get over its massive size. How would such a thing fly? I knew the Lord said that because of its size it couldn’t land in the valley because it was too heavy to take off from the valley. It had to fly from mountaintop to mountaintop. That gave us one strategy. The bird seemed to be demanding that I meet it on the top of Prayer Mountain (next door to Rumtek Temple where the dragon had been defeated). Though I may have to fight it, I certainly don’t have to do it on his terms.

 

  It was a very ugly creature and in some ways (other than the top knot and beak) reminded me of a vulture. It was a creature in some ways like Big Foot or Yeti who though a spirit being could appear physically at times and do things physically. Legend says if you see this dragon bird you will die soon a horrible painful death. I was very pleased to find that such a creature that looked exactly like this creature not only lived in prehistoric times but lived in the Tibetan area. It is always best to try to prove the vision the Lord gives you with history, legends or the Bible.

 

I knew the great weapon of the bird other than the obvious jaws and claws like steel that once took down huge dinosaurs snapping their bones like twigs, was the spirit shadow that could cling to people and places. When I arrived in India I called the Gantok area to warn them of the dangers of these shadows, which are:

Sickness

Premature Death

Insanity and Mental Illness

Discouragement and Deep Depression

Fighting and Division

Trouble of All Kinds

Anger and Fear for no apparent reasons

Tiredness that will not leave regardless

 

The Elder there said we have been attacked like this for the last 5-6 months and we couldn’t figure out why, when will you be here? I told him that whatever he does he must not to attack this thing head on, it will kill him. Just plead the Blood of Jesus and hold his ground until we come. By the time we arrived several weeks later several had died, 8 that I knew of in one church had gone insane, many were demonically oppressed, over half the church had gone through serious illnesses, depression, fighting and everything else we named. This is real warfare with real people being hurt in real situations.

 

As I continued ministry I continued to research and gather more information. In the mid-1800’s the first church was built in that region. It was called McFarland Presbyterian Church. It was built over a large cavern. When they were digging to lay the foundation they evidently opened that cavern and awakened something inside. As the story goes they heard a large ear splitting screech. Then this large Dragon Bird came up from the caverns and flew toward Gantok, Sikkim. Most of the workers that saw the bird died soon after and it was believed to be because of the curse.

 

The bird seemed to know that the only person who could ever stop him was a true Christian, so to prevent that he would push them to build the church over his cavern and hatch his eggs to control the pastors. If this were true I told them this church would be known for ridiculous fighting and have internal trouble all the time. They said yes it is true and told me many stories to prove it. It got so bad the courts locked the building until the two factions could determine whose church it was. When the one factor had the courts open the building the others had crawled through the window and were “praying” and stating possession of the building. Even to this day the times are split between the two groups by court order. The pastor goes the back corner of the church outside before every service and meets the elders and prays. Why the back corner of the building? This faces Kangenchenga (the 3^rd highest mountain in the world and extremely demonic) and is the direction the Dragon Bird went to Sikkim.

 

We also discovered some pertinent legends from the Lepcha Tribal people, (being the most ancient people of the area). Then to top it all off a person I know from Bhutan saw the bird just two weeks before the battle. She knew the legend that you would die a horrible death if you saw it and she (being in the back seat of a taxi) began to scream and call on the name of the Lord. This wouldn’t be so bad but it is forbidden to talk about Jesus in Bhutan and her driver was quite shocked. It was all coming together. I could feel the hindrances this bird sent out along the way but it was not able to hinder the will of God.

 

We finished teaching the last day of the Pastor’s Conference in Kalimpong and the Lord said that the Battle must be almost completely fought on the way to Gantok (about a 3 hour drive). If we wait until after we arrive and spend the night it will be too late. Then the rest of the battle must be fought immediately when we first arrive at Elder Mishra’s house. We were already tired from a long week of conference schedules and teaching and ministering that day as well. But the Lord knows best and none of us argued.

 

Soon we could see the giant bird flying back and forth across the skies looking for us. There were thousands of demonic spirits with it and he was commanding them to find us. Jackie saw that our van was being hidden by covering angels and I too caught a glimpse of this and was comforted. We began to pray and intercede waiting for high gear to kick in – only the Lord can do that.  Sikkim used to be a separate country until the 1970’s when it went bankrupt and was handed over to India. So you still have to stop and get special permission to enter. Imagine my shock when I looked up to see the seal of Sikkim has two dragon birds on it. I asked several of the officials why but no one knew the story. Very interesting.

 

From the moment we crossed the Sikkim border the battle intensified. We were in his territory now. Finally the Lord said it is time for high-level worship. But I told Him if I do that the dragon bird will see us. Yes He said but in order to defeat the bird that is what must be done. Both Pastor Lowell and I had just about talked our voices out but the Lord gave grace in order for us to worship. I began to worship and break through in worship. Soon the Dragon Bird saw us and began to attack. I began to physically feel the hits. With each hit I felt weaker. Until I was finally bent over in the back of the van and told the Lord I didn’t think I could go on.

 

Don’t be dramatic. The Lord warned me sternly. We don’t have time for you to feel sorry for yourself. Shake it off and call on My strength and worship again. Soon we were seeing other spirits along the way sent to attack us. I couldn’t be deterred with these spirits but charged the angels to intervene. I had to worship through. One however did catch my interest though I had no time to look into it. He looked to me very much like an Inca Indian with some sort of headgear and a long loincloth. I would encounter him again later.

 

Soon I could hear the bird screaming and saw him as though he had big holes letting light pierce through him. He was no longer fighting in arrogance but in desperation and fear that if he didn’t stop me he would be done in. Finally very near our destination and feeling very weak from all the hits the Lord began to cause a loud sound like a shofar to come from my mouth. (Remember my voice was almost gone so I knew this was a miracle). This seemed to cause the bird much agony and he began to screech loudly. Along the way the Lord had me gathering the tears of the people that this Dragon Bird had hurt, to give them to the Lord to use against him. We must never leave our pain and tears as weapons for the enemy but hand them over to the Lord.

 

When we arrived at Elder Mishra’s house he understood we had to finish the battle but I couldn’t do it. He had to do it. He repented of the sins of the area – and he knew exactly what they were. Because he was from that area (like Daniel repenting for Israel’s sins) he could repent of their sins for them. Then turn all of the pain and tears over to the Lord. It was very powerful and was the final thing needed to defeat the Dragon Bird. Later as the angels were taking the bird away I heard him say. “You deceived me.” He said over and over, “You said you would fight me but you sent Jesus to fight me. That is not fair.”  I said, “I don’t talk to demons. I never agreed to anything. I just obey the Lord.”

 

We can all learn an important lesson from this. The battle is the Lord’s. We don’t have to fight the devil on his terms but when we worship through we become the door the Lord moves through. The Lord gave the earth the man. Adam lost that and Jesus restored it. But it is still the regenerated man’s world. So in order to do things the Lord needs us to be the legal open door He moves through. Worship – true access worship does that. What would happen if you became the door for the Lord to move through in your circumstances.

 

The next day the Lord told me, “The Dragon Bird is dead.” “Lord he can’t be dead.” I said. “Yes the Dragon Bird is dead. You killed it.” The Lord said. “How can that be?” I asked, “You can’t kill a spirit.” “Once the Dragon Bird slept in the ground. Then a man came led by demonic powers and woke it. Now the Dragon Bird has been returned to the ground and will stay there until another man comes and wakes it and that will be a long, long time. For the Dragon Bird that is a form of death. He doesn’t cease to exist but nothing does, but he does sleep in the ground for now. So he is dead.” That is so cool. He won’t be trashing people for a long time to come. 

 

Later we prayed to begin to remove the shadow of the bird from homes, churches and areas. You could feel the results instantly. An amazing story – but perhaps we need to fight amazing battles for these end times and perhaps there is an amazing story unfolding in your area that you need to be aware of.

 

Many of you will remember a couple of years ago an amazing story of shutting down a curse that was pouring into India from Tibet China. God did amazing miracles on that trip and the results were evident. But now that area of the border has a new avenue for curses to traverse to India, a new road for trade. We must go and put a filter across that road and shut the traffic in curses down. Why is Tibet/China so determined to send these curses to India because they know the battle must be won spiritually first and then physically and this is there way of preparing for physical war.

 

[In one temple near Kalimpong the Lord told us to go and just observe, touch nothing and go. At first I noticed only the Queen of Heaven, Ishtar to me combined with the snake of Kalimpong. Then I noticed that the Queen of Heaven looked different, it was not the one I was used to seeing in India. This one was from China, a sister spirit. What is she doing here in India. China sent her to make an alliance with the spirits of India and Thimpu of Bhutan because they know if their troops attack the spirits of the land will attack them but if the spirits make alliances then when their troops attack the spirits will not attack them. So I am seeing several ways that China is trying to prepare to invade and based on the number of troops everywhere, India knows the threat is real.]

 

As we drove up I could see the road covered with curses traveling into India, some small and other very big. We again encountered that strange man that looked like an Inca India but quickly prevailed. He seems to work for Kangenchenga. Then we encountered other spirits and several in the vehicle were attacked and had to be prayed for. Someone brought a non-believer with us (which I didn’t know until I felt the attack coming from them) and that was not good.  By the time we arrived, though it was mid-day, it was dark and cloudy with swirling winds; the enemy’s way of hiding and protecting himself. There was a soldier on the hill watching us. We all felt the urgency to hurry. “Tell him.” The Lord said simply.

 

It is forbidden to talk about Jesus to these people but I walked up to the foot of the hill and told that guard the Lord Jesus has sent me to break the curse that is coming on your people from China. I have come a long way to break this curse. His jaw dropped in shock but I could tell from his eyes they had been experiencing much trouble and he must know the curses are real to be this close the them. He waved me to continue with his hand but he watched. We made a strange mixture as the Lord told me to prepare it, ketchup for the blood of Jesus, Bleach to cleanse the road and filter out all the curses, oil to consecrate the road to the Lord and the salt of the eternal covenant. We mixed all of this in a large water bottle and decreed the decree the Lord gave us and I began to pour this mixture across the road as I prayed. We also buried Isaiah 7:7 'thus says the Lord GOD: "It shall not stand, Nor shall it come to pass. Against their curses.

 

Then we went to the edge of the lake and two or three of us began to cry. I gathered the tears on a tissue and threw them into the lake. The tears of the Lord shut down the curse of these waters, I decred. The curse will not pass through these waters again. I was still praying and thanking the Lord when Tashi began to tug on my sleeve to get my attention. “Look,” He said. The moment I finished the decree every cloud – and I mean every cloud, left and it was bright and beautifully sunshiny instantly. I went back to the soldier and told him the curse is broken now and your people will be okay. He didn’t say anything but he had tears on his face and I know he saw the miraculous change.

 

These two battles may seem like simple things but if you are the people in that region it meant everything to be free. These battles are real and real Christians were being hurt by real demons and curses and they are now free. Amen.

 

So many amazing battles and deliverances that we cannot talk about them all. The man from Bhutan who had been spitting for almost 2 years that was delivered. What an amazing story that is. The curse came through his wife who out of fear was giving offerings to the demon gods and the Lord revealed that. The churches in the jungle we visited that had such great deliverances. In one place we prayed for all couples and the Lord did amazing things. One older couple I prophesied to was so sweet, he was worried that he would die before her and leave her with no one to take care of her and she was worried she would get too old to care for him. That’s real marriage and that’s sweet.

 

Several other churches where the Lord showed up and showed off. Each place was awesome and special. In another place I was able to hand out Samaritan Purse gifts there as well. There is so much to talk about that we just can’t share it all and even though my newsletters seem long this is so little of it. Prophesy poured like water this trip and I often could even tell people what they dreamed and what it meant with out them even telling me they had a dream. God is amazing.

 

Where North India in the Himalayas was often cool, South India is just hot. We ministered 3 evenings in crusades having perhaps 1000-1500 each night, often ministering until 3:00 a.m. We saw thousands healed. It was wonderful to have two such anointed people as Pastors Lowell and Jackie Morton to share the load of long intense prayer lines. So many miracles and of course many came to a saving knowledge of the Lord. It was also not unusual to compare notes and find that we each had the same person come to our line that was obviously there to curse us. But we watched each other’s back and were fine.

 

It was wonderful to hear the testimonies from last year, especially 15 couples who couldn’t have children who now have children after we prayed for them last year. So with that report many people came for prayer to have children. Pastor Joshi emailed with follow up of many miracles reported and even several whose husbands had left them and now returned home and they were at peace. Praise God.

 

Crusades are exhausting but also very rewarding. We prayed for so many people and saw so many testify that there pain was gone, or they could see, or hear. It is miracle evangelism that causes people to know that Jesus Christ is real and to want Him as their personal savior. Often entire families and even villages are saved over one miracle.

 

We had a wonderful Holy Ghost Revival at their local church and many were touched by the Lord and saved. One night there was a special break through in worship and we could see the angels moving among the people. It was indeed precious.

 

We ministered in a Leper Colony and that is a unique experience. All of the lepers gave their hearts to the Lord. It was precious to see. We also went to the tribal villages of the Lombardi. They are the least changed of all the people groups of India from ancient times. It was a very precious time. They are doing such an extensive work there and have so few supporters. They are in need of more support and at this time a vehicle that can handle all of the rough places where they need to travel. If you wish to help them let me know and I will put you in touch with them.

 

Then on to the Philippines to work with my friends there at Christian Praise Fellowship. They have an orphanage that has lost several supporters recently. If God tugs at your heart for these kids they need a financial break through. Perhaps your group or your church would like to become on-going support for them.

 

It’s actually a long trip from India to San Fernando, La Union Philippines and it takes a couple of days. When I arrived (you’d think I would be used to the heat by now but not really) we had a youth conference that evening we had been invited to speak at for two nights. But to my surprise it was a Baptist and Presbyterian Youth Conference. I thought oh my, are you sure they want “me” to speak. So I talked about sin and hell and afterwards they asked us to pray for the teens and they were slain in the spirit and crying everywhere. One pastor thought I had been too hard on the kids telling them about hell. We have some kids that only come once a year he said. So I told him then they really need to hear the truth and hear it straight and they did.

 

The next night to my surprise they asked us back. I taught again and we had a good time. Then I asked do you want me to lay hands on people? Yes they said go ahead. Again kids were slain in the spirit and touch mightily. I told these pastors with all teens are facing these days they really need to experience the Lord for themselves and have something solid to stand on when the devil tries to pull his tricks and they agreed. Many were saved and the Lord moved powerfully – in a Baptist and Presbyterian Youth Camp. Wow. That’s cool.

 

The next week we also had a youth camp there at Christian Praise Fellowship for the teens and they came from far and wide. Many were saved and touched by the power of God. It was indeed intense. Of course we had regular church services and radio on early Sunday morning, which reaches many people for Jesus. That Sunday night we had a very unusual anointing pouring forth. The Lord showed up to remove bloodline curses and iniquitous patterns from the blood. It was a special dispensation of grace just to do that. Everyone was on the floor everywhere under intense anointing. Then in the spirit I saw gold dust falling to represent the glory that would replace the curse in our blood and later glory balls of fire for all who would receive them. It was a special anointed time.

 

Then we had the Pastor’s Conference and by special request taught a great deal on the depths of breaking bloodline curses. There is so much more to it than most people think and it is never a one time thing but a process and an on-going revelation from the Lord about what needs to be removed in our lives. The Pastors were blessed and encouraged and strengthened in the Lord. We had a final presbytery meeting and prophesied and ministered to each pastor and their wives.

 

The last two evenings we ministered to the orphans in a very special way. The last night I sat with each child and prophesied to them with someone writing the results down for follow up later. Even though I had to get up early to catch a plane we stayed up late and gave each child special time to not only be prayed for but prophesied to. The result was amazing. One small boy of 8 the Lord showed me prayed night and day to die. He was so excited that perhaps God would grant this wish.

 

Each child that I told the depths of their heart to, no matter how strange it seemed it was correct and they verified it. One child was seeing spirits (many children from the mountains have problems with spirits). This spirit had convinced this child it was good and would give her powers to do good and nothing we could do could convince her it was bad. She admitted seeing the spirit and that it gave her powers but refused to believe it was evil.

 

Other’s had spirits of hatred or murder that scared them. They didn’t want that. One wanted to be a preacher and another wanted to be used by the Lord. The depths of each child’s heart was revealed, many curses were removed, some curses we could only start to break and they would use these notes to continue a process with that child. Some didn’t want to be delivered and would need to be convinced that these spirits were bad. These are good kids who really need help. Often kids blame themselves because their parents left and think they are bad and give up on themselves. That needs to come to the surface and be dealt with before it becomes a way of life. The Lord did awesome things in ministering to these orphans.

 

There is so much more to say and talk about but it just makes it all too long. Thank you so much for your prayers and for your support. Planes and hotels cost money but I pray that you can see you have planted your seed in good ground. As for your prayers, like me you are the Lord’s prayer partner praying for His work in the earth and I thank you for that.  Please be in touch and feel free to ask any questions. I will try to post more pictures later.

 

I am already planning more trips both in the USA and in Europe. I do travel and minister in the USA as well, if your church or group is interested we can pray about it and see if the Lord would have me come. Let me know. I love you and thank you for your prayers and support. I pray for you as well.
