Upward in Idaho

30 05 2022

Living Waters Ranch from above

Michael Masambu of Kenya, my brother Ken, and I just arrived in Sandpoint, Idaho. which is 60 miles from Canada, thus “upward.” The ministry at Living Waters Ranch in Challis, Idaho was powerful and anointed. Many thanks and blessings to Christopher and Debbie James who hosted with godly love and hospitality. It was a great honor to share in the ministry.

Our 400 mile drive to Sandpoint was some of the most gorgeous scenery on the planet and the fellowship was rich. Tomorrow, Michael will join the pastor’s lunch and then preach at a joint meeting at New Life Church (formerly Christian Center) at 7pm. All are welcome. Wednesday Michael moves on to the Tri-Cities in Washington.

Friday night at 7pm I will be ministering at River of Life Church in Sandpoint, concluding with Cocolalla Cowboy Church Sunday morning. Hope to see you there.

“This is what Yehovah of Heaven’s Armies says: You can be sure that I will rescue my people from the east and from the west. I will bring them home again to live safely in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be faithful and just toward them as their God.” Zechariah 8:7-8 NLT

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and seasonal rains.

Northern Idaho Ministry

5 11 2021

Montana Mts from Sandpoint Idaho

My final weekend in Idaho will be busy with meetings at Sandpoint River of Life on Saturday at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. and then Sunday morning at the Cocolalla Cowboy Church.

Here are a few headlines that connect to prophecy this week. One of the most important ongoing moves of God for Israel continue to be the Abraham Accords. The first story about President Biden trying to add Saudi Arabia to the Accords is quite significant. He has tried to cancel just about everything else started by President Trump except this. Why? God is the real source of the Accords. It is moving forward in spite of the Biden administration overall reversals. Don’t worry about geo-political moves, instead watch what the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is doing. He is right on track to fulfill His word to the uttermost.

Biden working to add Saudi Arabia to Abraham Accords – Biden administration working with Saudi Arabia on normalization of ties with Israel, USA concludes.

What the New York Times Meant for Evil, God Used for Good – In its documentary hit piece “Whose Promised Land?” the venerable Gray Lady inadvertently confirmed Israel’s biblical mandate.

Saudi Arabia eyes tourism with Al Ula archaeological dig – Saudi Arabia is looking to tourism in an attempt to diversify the kingdom’s oil heavy economy. Efforts are underway in Saudi Arabia’s Al Ula desert to unearth 2,000 year old ancient artifacts left behind by the kingdoms of Dadan and Lihyan.

There is much more to be revealed about the place of Saudi Arabia in Israel prophecy, especially regarding tourism. Stay tuned. I will be sharing some of that this weekend. Every single ancient place mentioned in these verses are in modern Saudi Arabia!

The multitude of camels shall cover your land, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and incense, and they shall proclaim the praises of Yehovah. ​​All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall ascend with acceptance on My altar, and I will glorify the house of My glory. Isaiah 60:6-7

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and thank Him for seasonal rains.

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.

Road Trip! Idaho

16 10 2019

20191013_145647

Michael Masambu and I had a fun road trip through the spectacular mountains of Idaho traveling from Challis to Boise with only one minor wrong turn (one hour). We are now in our third week of ministry in this great part of God’s country.

The Challis ministry at Living Waters Ranch was wonderful with rich worship, fellowship and teaching with other leaders, a gathering of eagles. Now we are staying in the most hospitable lodging in Eagle, Idaho. The Aldous family has been a great blessing hosting us.

Brian Harrison has put together a week-long celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles with multiple speakers and great worship teams. My emphasis on the restoration of Israel has been well received.

Monday I return home for three days and then Doreen and I fly to New Hampshire for two weeks of meetings into November. At the end of November we fly with Patrick Kennedy to 15 days of ministry in Kenya. Wow! What an honor to be used by Yehovah.

Please continue to hold us up in prayer for utterance from above to speak the words of life from Jesus.

​I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; ​​They shall never hold their peace day or night. ​​You who make mention of Yehovah, do not keep silent, ​​And give Him no rest till He establishes ​​And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Isaiah 62:6-7

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and thank Him for the heavy rains falling now!

High Idaho Desert

19 10 2018

Living Waters Ranch

John Fisk and I are in Challis, Idaho at Living Waters Ranch this weekend. My speaking session is Saturday afternoon; prayers appreciated. John and I are sharing amazing one on one time in this spectacular corner of the globe. “A brother assisted by a brother is like a lofty and fortified city.”

Christopher and Debbie James have a wonderful vision for this 2,700 acre ranch as a ministry refuge center for the West coast. Christopher also has a strong heart for Israel. I will be speaking on Ezekiel 36 which declares the end-time restoration, blessing and favor of God on Israel. This the subject of my latest book, Speak to the Dirt! (Click on sidebar picture to order it.) Right now it is available on Kindle, but will be published as a print book soon.

Here is a photo of John at the Tea Cup Cafe, which is in town, but an outreach of the Ranch.

Idaho, John in Challis

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause; and let them say continually, ​​“Let Yehovah be magnified, ​​Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” ​And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness and of Your praise all the day long. Psalm 35:27-28

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain.

Idyllic Idaho

8 06 2018

Sandpoint IdahoMany who travel to speak around the country tend to tire of the travel schedules, flights, and logistics. I am not one of those. I love it, and consider it a wonderful, privileged honor. Maybe it has a little to do with the primary areas of my travel: Israel, Florida, New England, and Northern Idaho. (Big Smile)

This month is special because Doreen gets to come with me to the glorious Pacific Northwest town of Sandpoint, Idaho. We get to stay with my brother Ken Lawrence and his wife, Mavis. We will be sharing in five churches including multiple meetings, plus smaller groups of pastors, business leaders, and prayer groups for a total of ten meetings if my count is right. We are still waiting to hear from a church in Libby, Montana.

June 10 – Sandpoint Christian Center 10 am

June 15-17 – Sandpoint River of Life 7 pm and 10:30 am

June 16 – Sandpoint North Summit Church Men’s Bible study 7:30-9 am

June 20 – Sandpoint Assembly of God 7 pm

June 24 – Cocolalla Cowboy Church 10 am

We would much appreciate the prayers of you who cannot join us. If you live in Idaho we would hope to see you at some of the meetings. My heart is full of the great prophetic blessing of God’s restoration of Israel and especially Jerusalem. There is a trickle down effect on our nation as we officially bless Israel. God is moving in our churches, schools, culture, and particularly government.

Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know? Proverbs 30:4

We each have a voice given by Yehovah God to lift up His name and His Son’s name Jesus to a fallen and hurting world. When I say we have a voice, I am not referring to the physical, but to the authority that has been granted to every believer to speak into this society. It is time to wake up, stand up, and speak up for righteousness. We must not submit to the false separation of “church and state”. God is in the government, education, schools, and every corner of our culture. Please pray for Doreen and I this month and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

The heavens declare the glory of God; ​​and the firmament shows His handiwork. ​​Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. ​​There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Psalm 19: 1-3
