Tel Hazor & Dan

      What a worthwhile visit indeed ! Dan is located within feet to Lebanon and it has the High Place where Jeroboam set the golden calf that defeated Israel for hundreds of years and the high place where it was placed is still intact.

Hazor has obvious places where the heat of the fire burst the large basalt stones when Joshua overtook the city and burned it to the ground as commanded by God  while it was occupied by the Canaanites after he over threw Jericho and other cities.

         I again see that the enemy just causes us to see our small world and gets us involved in the little things and this keeps us from obedience to the greater call on our life. May we never be carried about with small idols of opinions and misgivings of dumb issues that keep us from seeing the picture the way God wants us to see. Our community has definitely caused us to be affected by tunnel vision and as a result keeps us boxed in a place of smaller things which are important but not to be held captive by. We need to be full of great courage and not allow the enemy to rule our thoughts and goals for Gods sake. Enemies are always enemies and are designed to hinder the work of God and will never help us us….NEVER !!! We can never compromise with the enemy, never find help or acceptance with the enemy !!! The enemy has to be driven out and soundly defeated !!! The enemy spoke through Peter to Jesus and made suggestions against the Cross that Jesus needed to bare. Jesus did many mighty works around some of these cities, But when it was about overcoming the enemies of their cultural gods….They refused to repent and Jesus the God of all power and mercy had to curse them and turn these glorious cities into piles of rubble just like Sodom and the other cities in the South.  So I ask………….What does my city look like ???

Tel Dan

          Today we saw Tel Dan and were amazed at what led to it. We were at Chorazin and as we were walking someone ask us why we were their, that most people miss this one and he said he was impressed. So we talked to find out he used to be a guide and is now an older man with lots of information…….WOW…….He said we need to see Tel Dan which were in our plans and than he continued to tell us that the high place where the idol of Jeroboam was sitting is missed by most and also there is a gate where Abraham walked through in his time, and is also not known by most visitors visiting there and told us how to find it out side the Tel. WOW AMAZING…..This was in the Caesarea Philippi area where we stopped as well. Our hearts were visibly moved when we heard the Word while visiting Chorazin.

Matt 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

So Jesus did mighty works inside that place where we walked and than cursed it in to a pile of stone rubble that has latter been uncovered and remains desolate to this day. All these cities that Jesus did mighty works spoken in the Word are still unoccupied to this day. My Lord !!! Let your mighty works done within us never allow us to come to a place where repentance vanishes from our everyday life !!!!!!

Sea Of Galilee

Here is a letter from John Yoder (Griner Church) Ind. to me while over here. Read this and know that Jesus is ALIVE !!!

Several months ago I believe around Christmas, an Amish minister came to one of our Saturday night prayer meetings. During that Meeting I was moved by Holy Ghost to stand and walk behind him and lay hands on him praying that he might receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I wasn’t certain how he would respond to such a prayer, since it was the first time that I had met him.

The command of God was so strong that I got up in spite of my misgivings and walked over and laid hands on him and prayed that he might receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Nothing happened that Night, but I had a peace in doing what God had commanded. He has been back on numerous occasions and it is evident that God has been at work in His life. He is not your typical Amish minister, although he is in a difficult situation because his father is the bishop in the same church where he ministers.

Within the same timeframe a group of local Amish men who are born again started a prayer meeting in the shop of one of the men. They have their prayer meetings from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM every other Saturday Morning. This minister has also been attending this prayer meeting.

Yesterday about 1:00 PM, I received a call from him asking if I would have a moment to talk and that he was needing a little advice. I said I had the time and if there was any advice I could give, I would. He began by saying that he was feeling like he was living a bit of a double life since the Amish Church where he ministers doesn’t look well on the idea of Bible Studies and prayer meetings and he as a minister is involved in both. J He said that he was feeling as if he needed to make full disclosure to his fellow ministers and most notably his father (the Bishop). I wasn’t sure where he was in all of this so I asked him how he felt about his activities in prayer and Bible study and he said honestly that in these things was where he found far more communion with God than in his Amish Church. He then mentioned that some wouldn’t believe him concerning his praying in tongues and he wasn’t sure how to share this with others. My ears perked up at this and I asked him to tell me more about his experience in praying in tongues. OH Bless the LORD!

He shared with me that in the prayer meeting at Griner prior to LA Spring conference this year, as we were praying, he had heard the Lord say not to quench the spirit. He said that this continued with him all that  week until the following Friday (Day after Leaders Alive and the day I left for Ghana). He was in his shop and listening to an mp3 player on which one of the other brothers from the church had downloaded the message you preached at Griner  in 2009 about the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. He said as he listened to the message, you were preaching that the reason most people never experience the fullness of God was because they were concerned with losing their identity. He said he turned off the player then and there and began repenting before the Lord because that was exactly his situation. As He was praying alone in his shop he said he began to shake all over and fell to the floor and began to pray in a language he didn’t know. After that passed over him, he didn’t know what had happened but he got up and went into the house where his wife asked, “What happened to you?” He said, I don’t  know.” And then he called his brother, who attends our church to get my phone number and his brother told him that I was on my way to Ghana, so he and his wife prayed and he went back to the shop and turned the sermon back on. He said then that he began to weep because in the message you shared your experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost and he said, “I knew then, what had happened.”  And he was praising the Lord.

He told me that the three times that he has preached since this happened, have been the most bold preaching he has ever preached in 9 years. He also told me of being in this Amish prayer meeting on a Saturday morning following His baptism and close to the end of the meeting, the men, some of the men, asked if the others would gather around and pray for boldness from God to go back and face the situations of resistance to the work of God in their lives.

He said as they gathered around and began to pray that the power of God came down and several of the men began to pray in other languages and some were healed of physical ailments right on the spot. This all came about in a prayer for boldness, (reminded me of Acts 4). PTL!

Anyway this minister is full of the Holy Ghost and wondering how he is going to process this with his Amish Church, GLORY!

Tonight the Feast of Pentecost starts over here, What wonderful timing, as we sat on top of a high mountain overlooking Arbel and rejoicing that the same Holy Spirit came into a little house between Berlin and Millersburg 8,000 miles away into my hungry heart and caused me to overflow ever since !!!!!!!

E-net is still a problem but I am on at the time and am happy to update ! We miss you all so much at the Church and yes Dalen, I saw your comments on Sunday morning…We miss you all so much as well and may I say that having walked where I walked Egypt-Israel…I have numerous messages in my heart for the Church in Millersburg and Honduras. Some of you reading this blog need to start making arrangements now to come over here. You need to come home over here while you can.

Today we were at Megiddo and saw the reality of a pagan altar where they sacrificed their on body to the evil on….They still call the altar a sacred place and it is still not torn down. Solomon overtook this city and used it as a fortress to protect the lavish prosperous Jez’reel Valley. Also the place where Josiah fought with the Pharaoh and lost and got killed. This was the man I have preached about a lot the last while and God used him to destroy Jezebel and all the Ba’al god worshipers and than after his duties were fulfilled, he lost his walk with God and got killed here.

I have made numerous updates and I see they are not updating…………Now this one is not going through as well………..Don’t know what to do…….Bummmmmmer

May God be strong upon you as you wait for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ !!!
