Asbury Revival and Israel

15 02 2023

The Holy Spirit visitation at Asbury University in Kentucky is spreading to many other colleges. We could be seeing the beginning of the long anticipated third great awakening in America. Many have said it would begin among the youth. We have never seen such depression and fear crushing our young people. Intercessors are arising to agree with God’s intervention. But, what does this mean for Israel? We are in the age of Israel’s restoration. Make no mistake. God will not move without including Israel. In the following verse notice that the refreshing comes from the Lord’s presence. I used to think it meant it came from His presence in Heaven, but rather the refreshing comes from the Lord present with us here on earth! He is not isolated in Heaven, He is here among us!

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,”  Acts 3:19

Sovereign, Spontaneous, Sobering, HOLY: The nature of this visitation is sovereign and spontaneous. The Holy Spirit is speaking directly to hearts. There is a soberness evident in each person touched by this move. Israeli youth are in a similar place. It is my belief that God Himself is stirring the hearts of Israelis as well. Israel is always under threat from outside, but now is also experiencing the inner political, moral, and spiritual fears that we see in our American culture. A common denominator in every visitation of the living God is an acute awareness of how Holy God is. This is not first to make us live more holy, although that does result, but it is to encounter His holiness.

There is a desperation in our modern culture. The hopes of many have been crushed by life circumstances and fear of what is to come. WOKE IS BROKE! The woke movement has failed to produce real results in hearts. It was a false hope. This is the perfect time for the great awakening move of the Holy Spirit God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Rise up in prayer agreement for open hearts.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and a move of the Holy Spirit in Israel. Also continue praying for rain there.

115,108 New Jesus Followers!

28 10 2021

Kenya Matt 10

We rejoice with the wonderful reports from Kenya. I spoke with Michael Masambu Tuesday with the final numbers of 115,108 saved in this month’s Matthew 10 Initiative.

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. ​​He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Psalm 126:5-6

They were limited by the number of vans to transport teams to schools, but the results were glorious. We need to pray for more vans for the next outreach in May 2022. You can follow Michael on Facebook to see more reports and pictures.

Michael now has a renewed visa and plans to be in the States for the month of November. He begins in the tri-cities area of Washington state the first week, followed by Living Waters Ranch’s Arise and Shine Conference in Challis, Idaho Nov. 11-13. Later he will be in Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and finishing in Raleigh, NC.

We will host him in the Raleigh area from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6. Please be in prayer for his ministry trip for anointing, protection, and provision. Michael is overflowing with the goodness and favor of Yehovah God after the evangelism outreach and we can share in the blessing as we stand with him for God’s glory. Remember you can get his biography, The Swahili Man, in paperback or Kindle.

On a personal note, I will also be ministering four times in Idaho next week from Oct. 30 to Nov. 8. It is always a joy to visit northern Idaho where my brother lives in Sandpoint. I am especially eager to speak this Sunday at the Cocolalla Cowboy Church with Pastor Steve and Cindy Bradshaw, and the folks there. I have been going there for about 15 years now, but missed last year. My first time with them was about 30 folks in a community center. Now they have several hundred and their own building. Praise the Lord Jesus!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and rain in this rainy season.

Four Days, Nearly 40,000 Saved

19 10 2021

MKM Harvest time

After four days of Michael Masambu’s Matthew 10 Initiative, 40,000 Kenyan students have prayed for salvation through Jesus. This was in the region of Kitale, Kenya. Nearly 60 teams are in the field for two weeks speaking in every school in three counties. (Kenya counties are like our states.) They expect to speak to 1.8 million students from elementary to university by the end of October. Michael and I spoke on the phone for 40 minutes with the first update. Please continue to pray for the goal of 600,000 saved.  If you missed the video explanation you can view it here.

He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. Psalm 126:6 ESV

Also, please pray that Michael’s visa will be approved. He has ministry itinerary in Idaho, Washington, Texas, Mississippi, and North Carolina for the month of November, ending here in the Raleigh area on December 5. God is bringing in a great harvest in Kenya and we pray for a great awakening here in the United States. The Lord showed me that the “woke” movement is a counterfeit of Yehovah’s awakening. I wrote two blog posts about that on 9-29 and 10-1. (You can always access older posts by clicking on the “Home” button on the Menu bar at the top, and scrolling down.)

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.” John 4:34-36 ESV

Pray for Kenya to move their embassy to Jerusalem, pray for Jerusalem and pray for rain.

“Woke” Counterfeit – Part 2

1 10 2021

536748_385193128190099_100000982451242_1074228_1062423626_n

My last post was about the similarity between God’s last day harvest “Awakening” and the recent leftist “woke” movement. The so-called woke folks are actually Marxists, socialists, anarchists, fascists, and a mix of radical Muslims. They all share the same goal of destroying American history, culture, and our Judeo-Christian roots. Their strategy is to divide and conquer. Make no mistake, this is spiritual warfare. Where the Bible gives hope and salvation, they only bring fear and chaos. The woke crowd are following an evil spirit that is a counterfeit to the living awakening coming from the Holy Spirit of Yehovah God.

They obey a very unholy spirit. They riot and make unreasonable demands. I remember my mentor, Derek Prince, saying: “You can never satisfy a demanding spirit.” Therefore, it is time to rise to the hour for which we have been chosen.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13

Remember what the prophet Elisha said: “More are they that are with us, that they that are with them.” Paul emphasized this is not a human level war, but against supernatural darkness and wicked rulers in the spiritual dimension. Thus, it requires a completely different armor and weaponry.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Notice that we have spiritual authority to defeat high arguments exalted against God. Why are many Christians so timid and fearful? That is not our calling and equipping. We must understand our enemy and our superior authority over him. Behind all the political diatribe is an actual living being called the devil. 

“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.” (Jesus) John 10:10

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (Jesus) John 16:33

“Choose life!” is far more than a pro-life slogan, it is the life and death choice of Heaven or hell. Eternal life freely offered by Jesus. There is no other way to find it. The devil does all he can to distract people from the most fundamental choice they will ever make. The choice is not about politics or race or sexuality or even religion. It is about a relationship with our Creator, Yehovah God the Father. And it is only available through Yeshua ben Yehovah, Jesus Christ, the Son. Where do you stand?

God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Numbers 23:19 

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Revelation 12:10-11

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and rain for Israel.
