JOEL 2 GENERATION

Somehow we are truly moving away from the "one man show" (or one woman show) towards doing supernatural ministry as a "team". Of course this has ALWAYS been God's design and best, regardless of the fact that much (if not most) of the Charismatic wing of the Church hasn't modeled team ministry. Two days ago, in a Church service my entire family ministered together - and God was using all of us to lay hands on people, heal the sick, and even see people released into visions. At the end of a 5+ hour service, our kids were so thrilled at what God had done "through them" that they didn't even want to leave. It was such a clear picture of what God wants in ministry - His Spirit resting on groups rather than individuals. In the end, He is able to do far more than He ever could have done through merely the "one man in ministry" model. I will try to give some highlights in another post.

when I got back from my trip to a neighboring country, I was truly spent. I wasn't so physically tired, but emotionally and spiritually I just felt like I was depleted. However, even as I walked through the doors of my home we had a meeting that was about to begin and a house full of visitors. I really felt like I had little to offer. What happened over the next couple of hours was one of the most powerful meetings I can remember having - the words of knowledge were coming in such a flow that I was taken back. I will attempt her to paint a picture of what it was like. As I said, I was totally spent - I felt like I would be more of a bystander in this meeting, just trying to get recharged and filled up. All I was wanting to do was to get lost in the worship - but literally as a group of first time visitors walked through the door, words of knowledge began to come - for an arm condition, for a back and neck condition. We prayed for two of the visitors (one who was a former mus...

Isaac of Ninevah and I had the chance to minister together in a nearby Arab country this past weekend. It was an incredibly focused time of ministry together - a couple of days full of God's presence, hearing His voice and seeing Him move. We ministered together in a meeting where we saw a number of physical healings as well as God releasing many prophetic words. The Lord gave us a number of words of knowledge and we had others attending the meeting lay hands on those who were sick and/or in pain. Several testified of being healed after receiving prayer. I trust Isaac will write more about his impressions of that meeting. A highlight for me was when Isaac and I were able to really partner in the supernatural - on one occasion he called someone out to give them a prophetic word and then while he was ministering to that person the Lord gave me a word of knowledge for that same person - in this case for a back problem. The sister next to her (as they were in the back of the room ...

What has happened in the last 24 hours is so amazing! I will post another blog about a series of healings and supernatural things that the Lord has done in the last couple of days, but this blog post began with 2 dreams I had early this morning. I have been struggling to overcome a couple of obstacles to get my family's residency finalized the in the country we live in. We faced a couple of hurdles that were going to require me to pay hundreds of dollars in courier fees sending documents back to the U.S. - a process that would require several governmental stops (both at the State and Federal levels) and in just a morning God sorted it all out. Here is what happened. I had a couple of documents that the government of this muslim country would not accept without further certification. I was so frustrated. I had tried everything and this morning I had one final appointment with the head of a government department to see if something could be done. Before I woke up, I had 2 prop...

During a meeting where Desert Princess was ministering healing, a woman explained that here husband was back in Lebanon, bed-ridden for months and wanted prayer. She said she would arrange for some of our friends to go and pray for him. Here is the testimony (sent to me via Skype chat): God healed that man who was on his bed for 6 months The testimony: i sent 2 guys to visit this guy who was unable to move from his bed and they pulled him out of bed to seat him in a chair and they prayed for him. He received Christ as saviour and he started to move things that he couldn't move and this sunday he came to church radiant with no other help our God is awesome

while we were out in the desert riding quads, the Lord gave me a word of knowledge for the guys we rented the quads from - first of all there was a shoulder condition. I asked a couple of Iraqi muslims, but it wasn't for them. Then their Bangladeshi muslim co-worker came up. it was for him. I prayed for him and he was healed. We talked about the power that Jesus had/has to heal and I explained we Christians have been given the same mandate to heal the sick. Then I got another word of knowledge for one of the Iraqi muslims - a toe problem on the left big toe. One of the guys had broken his tow and it wasn't even strait. That was until after prayer. I laid my hands on his foot and prayed. After I was done, he began to move it (which he couldn't really do before). There was much more movement. What however really was shocking to him was that it was now strait! If he hadn't said it, I probably wouldn't have believed it - but he was telling his friends that hi...

at considerable cost to themselves, an Egyptian couple came all the way across the city for healing prayer to have a baby. The woman had had 2 miscarriages. It was just a great time as the Lord revealed a several things through words of knowledge - a back problem, a foot problem, an ear problem and also finally a digestive problem. Beyond the revelation that the Lord was giving, He also came powerfully upon the wife. The felt His touch throughout her body. doin the stuff is so fun!!
