The first thing I want to do is thank you for your prayers. Rev. Linda Miller and I had a very successful trip and I know that is because you stood with us in prayer. Thank you. As you pray for us, know that we also pray for those who pray for us. May the Lord reward your faithfulness.

 

This morning, as I sought the Lord, He let me know that we are entering a season of personal healing. So often we think about things we need, or growth in the ministry, that we neglect to realize how personal our Lord is. The Lord said that we are entering a season of personal healing that will not only bring you relief and bring you closer to the Lord but will also equip you in the ministry. As we pass through this process of the season of personal healing, be sensitive to things the Lord may want to deal with in your life. Remember – if we could change ourselves, we would already be changed. When the Lord reveals the place He wants to heal, remember it is the Lord who will heal it. It is not for us to try to change ourselves.

 

The Lord showed me that many of you would reach a place called passing through the pain. It looked like a thin veil that as we passed through, it sifts all the pain away. Sometimes we don’t realize how much pain we have accumulated until the Lord removes it.

 

It may seem the Lord has set you aside for the moment. Don’t misunderstand that action, read the motive behind it. He has positioned you for a season of healing, and He doesn’t want you to be so busy that you can’t receive what He has for you. This season is so important as we move forward, that He would rather put other things on hold in order to concentrate on this. It is wonderful to know that in the end we are more important to Him than the work we can do for Him.

Amen.

 

May the Lord richly bless Pastors Timothy and Tyna, our wonderful hosts while we were in the Paris area. We ministered in 4 new churches in the Paris area. Each one was a blessing and the Lord ministered intensely. Many were healed and delivered. We ministered in churches with congregations from the Congo, Madagascar, Guyana and Nigeria. I was beginning to wonder if there were any people from France in Paris. We saw people from so many nations. What a great blessing to us.

 

I will list only a few of the miracles and incidents because there were indeed so many. Often the Lord would show us what the problem or sickness was before the person could tell us. This really helped them have the faith to receive their healing. We prayed for one woman who was too sick to come but her husband came, she was expecting and the Lord showed us exactly what the problem was and that if it were not corrected she would lose the baby. We found out latter the doctor had told her the same thing. She delivered a few days later and the baby was miraculously saved. 

 

In one home the Lord revealed the children were seeing spirits in the night and befriending them. The parents were shocked as I described what the spirits looked like to the children in detail and what the spirits were saying to them. The children then realizing I knew about the spirits opened up and began to tell us all about them. We had to convince these small children that these spirits and the powers they promised them were not good and that the Lord would protect them when they called on Him. Praise God for His revelation and protection.

 

One woman who was part Jewish had inherited a curse put on one of her ancestors. As the Lord revealed the origins and details of this curse, He then removed it and the woman was totally set free. Praise God. Many were healed in their inner man and in their emotions from traumas, and inherited pain from their ancestor’s. David called out for the Lord to heal his soul; it is a very real healing that many people need. There were many physical healings as well, deaf ears were opened, backs were healed, eyes, digestive problems, cancer, so many things. The Lord showed Himself to really be the healer.

 

In one church I was told to, absolutely be finished with the Sunday morning service by 12:30 pm. Rev. Linda laughed because I have trouble turning people away who want prayer but I agreed. A few minutes before my time was up I announced to the people that we only had a few minutes left to minister. They Pastor asked us to continue and kept bringing people to us for ministry until well after 3:00 pm. Once they saw the miracles they wanted all their people to be prayed for.

 

Often we were up praying for people or talking to the ministry team until 2 or 3 in the morning. The people were so hungry to receive more from the Lord. Many services lasted 6-7 hours. Not because we chose them to, but because the pastors agreed that we would not turn any people away who needed prayer. The pastors would tell me how amazing it was that people not only stayed for such a long time but also remained quiet and involved in the service. They loved to see the Lord heal and deliver the people. We would often have to make people leave the service. People didn’t want to leave the presence of the Lord.

 

There were several battles in the Paris area. I cannot speak of them in detail for the safety of what the Lord is doing there. But I can say they were extremely important. One of the battles was to prevent something that would have caused intense Jewish persecution in the Paris area. This area has had such persecution before. Another battle was at a children’s hospital that would have caused many children to suffer. When the battle was over everyone could feel the difference in the atmosphere of the hospital. It was a though the very air was heavy and dark before and after it was light and easier to breath. Praise God for His goodness.

 

 In Vichy we worked with our long time friends Pastors Monique and Bernard. What a treasure they are to us. Again the Lord fought some extremely strategic battles there but this time it is best not to go into detail. I will tell you we made the enemy very angry. Upon returning to our hotel room one night, the Lord said, “Someone other than the maid has been in your room.” So we began to look around. The windows were left opened. (The maid had not done that before.) The Lord told me they put something in the room to give them access. At first we didn’t find it. Then the Lord said it was between the mattress and the box spring of the bed. We lifted every corner but saw nothing. Still the Lord insisted it was there. Finally we lifted the entire mattress and there in the square center of the bed between the mattress and box springs was a small porn book. Who would put something like that in such a spot?

 

I realized then that the book was defiled and would thereby give the enemy access. We began to find other things as well. The enemy became angry and knocked some of our things onto the floor. But we laughed. That was just showing their desperation to frighten us, using carnival tricks as though trying to scare children. Several times the enemy manifested there but we were not moved. Because we know who we work for, God and God is well able to take care of His own.

 

We were even followed a couple of times. I would tell Rev. Linda. Notice the man behind us. We will slow down but he will not pass, he will slow down as well. If we stop he will find an excuse to stop too. As I tried different things to show her, she too noticed. I think it is important for those who pray for us to realize that it is not all spiritual, there are often physical people involved who try physical things but the Lord is the same either way and they cannot prevail.

 

The Lord worked so many healings and deliverances in Vichy. I honestly cannot think of one that was not healed that I know of. Many were healed of mental problems; one stands out as an example. It was an small older woman, new to the church who came forward for prayer. When I placed hands on her I could see her sitting in the corner of her attic with a big knife cutting some piece of cloth over and over by stabbing it and saying I had to do it. When I asked the lady if this was true she was shocked but admitted that it was true. I told her this was not because of something she had done but this was the trauma of perhaps her mother. Because of war her mother was forced to do something so contrary to her nature that it marked her forever and tormented her. She was forced to kill someone. It was something her mother could never face. Her mother had passed that trauma on to her daughter, who had this overwhelming sadness and strange behavior but didn’t know why. She said this was all true. When we commanded the memory marks of her ancestors to leave her she was completely set free. Praise God. There were several mental healings.

 

Praise God for our dear friend Jean Charles Tartiere. We usually work with him to record for television in Europe. What a blessing he is. As many of you know I have been working on publishing my first book “The Warrior is a Child” on spiritual warfare. Because I have to learn a new software, called Quark Express, to prepare it, I have been delayed in getting it to the publisher. Jean Charles wanted to make an Audio Visual Book of the Warrior is a Child. After 35 hours of recording, the Audio Visual Book is ready for editing and should be ready for the public near the end of this year. We will have the Audio Visual Book and also an Audio only Book.

 

This will also be televised in France, and other parts of Europe, Africa, Saudi Arabia, and soon parts of India. It will be available via satellite. It is on several channels. I know one of them will be Holy God TV. This is important because God’s people need this information. Because of the way the audio/video book was done, I believe many people who watch it will be saved. Please pray for this project. Some of the information in this book makes the enemy very angry. Please pray this work and all the workers involved will be protected.

 

In Rome we were delighted to work with our long time friend Pastor Jacques and Brother Vincent our interpreter. The battles in Rome, as you might understand, should not be shared in detail at this time but were more than intense. As the enemy tries to alter times, we know we must place time in God’s hands alone. The important thing was the Lord was successful in all He sent us to do.

 

I saw in a vision Pastor Jacques praying on a mountaintop. I told him we must go to this place, and that it seems he goes there to pray from time to time. Fortunately he knew exactly what I was talking about and took us there. It is an hour or so outside of Rome in the mountains. It is a place that one pastor has prepared where people can come to pray and retreat with the Lord whenever they choose to. I knew that we had a special appointment with God on this mountaintop and that it was something special for the Pastor.

 

The top of the mountain was not easy to get to, there was a barbed wire fence to climb and a rocky hill but we found the spot just as I had seen in the vision. More than 4000 years before an ancient people had come, running away from persecution for serving the one true God. They had settled on that hill. These people had a heart for the lost and a great desire to see the other people of that region come to serve the Lord. We stood on the spot the Lord called, the well of anointing. We could see that after hundreds of years, the enemy had sent a people to kill the Godly people and build on top of their city. Now there was nothing much there.

 

As we broke through to the original well of anointing and the prayers of the saints that had gone before, there was such an anointing that all we could do was cry; waves and waves of anointing. We must have stood there 30 minutes just weeping before the Lord. I saw the angel of the anointing. He looked like a young man. He would now go with this pastor to pray for the salvation of the people of this region.

 

To the left the Lord showed us the place of the original angel who had come with the original people. He was still there. He was big. Suddenly a demon came from behind and threatened us but the Lord revealed Himself and the demon ran away in fear. I love when God does that. I prayed that the pastor would see these two angels and that he would know they were going to be with him in the work now. Later he asked me, “Why did you speak of a demon? I saw two young men. They came up to my left side and they put out their hands to shake my hand and to congratulate me. Did you see me put out my hand to them? Were these fine looking young men demons?”

 

“No,” I said amazed, “The demon was far behind us. You must have seen the angels. For indeed they looked like young men.” We were all very happy to have such a wonderful God encounter that would enable us to see that region reached for Jesus.

 

The pastor had some serious heart problems and other health issues. But the Lord not only completely healed him but also revealed the source of the attack and removed that as well. It was good to see him happy and in good health again. Praise God.

 

I must mention Maria Gracia, who let us stay in her home for our entire stay in Rome. It was a lovely apartment and we were wonderfully blessed. We knew that her children had been harassed by a spirit and we didn’t want to leave until that was revealed and dealt with. The day before we left, the Lord revealed that during the construction of the building a man had been killed in an accident. That death gave access to this evil spirit that harassed them. Once we cleansed the house of the blood, by the blood of Jesus, it was easy to make the demon leave permanently. Interesting that I was told that it is very common for people to die in accidents during construction of buildings in Rome.

 

So many were healed, but one stands out. A young woman who was so wounded inside because she couldn’t have children. (Which I believe the Lord has healed now.) She wept as the Lord healed her inside. I told her. The Lord has shown me that you had a stuffed bunny rabbit, as a child that you carried everywhere, is that true. She was a bit shocked and then said, yes that is true. The Lord wants to be your bunny rabbit. The one you hold and fall asleep with and tell all your secrets to. The one who is always there for you. She was so happy. Then I told her husband, when you leave this meeting, go buy her a big stuffed bunny rabbit. I love it when the Lord reveals personal things that heal our wounds.

 

As you can well imagine so many things happen on such a trip that it would be impossible to tell it all but I just wanted you to know that the Lord did awesome things and you were a part of all He did by your prayers and support. Thank you again.
