A Flame of Fire


In these day I believe there are time win you must stir up the gifts that God has put inside of you. As Paul exhorted Timothy I exhort you!  "Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands." 2 Tim.1:6  Don't let the power and calling of God lay dormant in you. God has great things for you to achieve.Passivity has never one the day. A dormant seed doesn't produce a crop until it is cultivated, lest it be strangled by weeds. Stir up the great gifts of God! Pray in tongues, prophesy, gifts of wisdom and knowledge, gifts of faith,miracles,  healing's, and the discerning of spirits. This is the the Pentecostal experience. To be an over-comer, to make a difference, to exercise our faith and do exploits. 





When king David was faced with a dire situation at Ziklag, (1 Sam. 30) he encouraged himself. "But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God."  He stirred up God in himself. If a fire has died down and you want to start it you stir the coals and add more fuel until it comes to flame. Sometimes you blow on it. Stir up the gifts of God in your heart today, pray that the Holy Spirit would blow on you and turn you into flame of fire. God desires that you would join with Him in agreement, that you would fan the fire of the Holy Spirit in your heart to become what he has designed you to be. Our God is a consuming fire! And if we are to be like Him we need to stir the coals and be the "Flames of Fire" He has designed and called us to be! Let this word today be lighter fluid to your coals, burn bright and strong! Let your flame burn brightly so bright that darkness flees!

It's NOW Time!

I believe "NOW" is the time to worship. There are seasons in our lives and as the body of Christ we are being shaken. In Hebrews 12:26-29 The Bible talks about the things that are made and how they will be shaken, so that the things that remain are unshakable. I believe in the atmosphere is the very time we are being shaken and in our lives we will see what remains. Will our faith be skimmed off because it is inconvenient. Will our ministries but shoved to the side because of the cost. Heaven forbid! I pray that as God's Holy Spirit moves that the very rocks that would cause use to stumble are shaken! That the truth will remain in us, and sustain us through whatever this world can put on us. God is simply revealing the pillars of faith that He has built in each of us and if we lean not unto our own understanding but trust and rely on His ability to change us into the image and purpose that He has for us. We will see His Glory manifest in our lives.

I recently attended a service with David and Lisa Mitts and they had a guest speaker from Israel. David mentioned that she had been ministering in Israel for 40yrs without citizenship. They explained that this was a miracle in itself that she would receive that kind of favor. She had a word for us that night, She explained that there was a Rabbi that had a song in Hebrew that went, (I have no idea how to spell in Hebrew) so phonetically it went, "Kee-baa-mo-ed" Now is the appointed time. As we sang Kee-baa-mo-ed! I couldn't help but think of the NOW Worship night we are doing with Pastor David and Lisa church (One New Man Ministries) on Friday Aug 3rd. As I have walked with the Holy Spirit I have learned to recognize His finger prints as God breathes on a situation or a word that is spoken. This was one of those moments. God was confirming our going out, God is always bringing light to our endeavors as we seek Him, and join with Him in our gifts and callings. I can say with boldness, "Now is the appointed time". It is a kairos  time a NOW Time. Not only for me but for the church.NOW is the time to look to God, NOW is the time to seek His face! To allow Him to shake the things that are shake-able  leaving only the Kingdom things, the "On this solid rock I stand" things. Let your faith rise, let your voice be heard, sing of His greatness, lift up your heads Oh ye gates! and Sing of His beauty and His grace! Let His fire burn in your bones like Jeremiah! Shout with a voice a triumph, for our God is moving! Our God is a God of meeting. Let us go, and sing! and dance! Let us rejoice in the salvation of our God!  Whew! 

Come and Join with the NOW Worship Team http://www.reverbnation.com/nowworshipteam as we desire His presence in a very special way Friday, August 3rd at 7pm! It is the NOW Time! Don't miss your portion! 
One New Man Ministries meets at 2015 Richards Rd., Bellevue Wa (Bellevue Four Square).

Picking Flowers

As I look out my office window I am greeted by the splendor of God's creation. Resplendent with pinks, whites and various shades of greens the winter throws off it's winter cloak and reveals a vibrant spring. The humming birds flit from flower to flower, wilst the wind blow gently, only briefly in this hour. The bee's are digging for sweet nectar in fluted flours, song birds singing resplendent tunes with delicate power. All this goes on as the earth groans and lurches toward a magnificent hour, a triumph of time, birthed from a word divine. Fear mongers growl and howl there taunts while my twin little grand girls capture my thoughts. What mark will I make with a life such as mine? What good might I do with so little time? These thoughts they assail me as days drift to weeks, I am a seed sower that life might bring forth some laughter and sweetness from fields full of dirt. Every year I beat, cut and pull the brambles away, every year truck a running in June we do hay. Life keeps moving towards destiny's song. Sung by my savior so lovingly strong. No challenge shall slow me or dislodge my tune as summer comes calling nigh the month of June.

Sack Lunches

Sack Lunches for Our Troops



I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought. Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation. 'Where are you headed?' I asked the soldier seated nearest to me. 'Petawawa. We'll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we're being deployed to Afghanistan After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were available for five dollars. It would be several hours before we reached the east, and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time... As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch. 'No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch. Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks. I'll wait till we get to base.' His friend agreed. I looked around at the other soldiers. None were buying lunch I walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar bill. 'Take a lunch to all those soldiers.' She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. 'My son was a soldier in Iraq; it's almost like you are doing it for him.' Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated. She stopped at my seat and asked, 'Which do you like best - beef or chicken?' 'Chicken,' I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to the front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first class. 'This is your thanks...' After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the rest room. A man stopped me. 'I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this.' He handed me twenty-five dollars. Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he walked, I hoped he was not looking for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the plane. When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand and said, 'I want to shake your hand.' Quickly unfastening my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain's hand. With a booming voice he said, 'I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.' I was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers. Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm. When we landed I gathered my belongings and started to deplane. Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars! Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base. I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars. 'It will take you some time to reach the base. It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.' Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow travelers. As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could only give them a couple of meals. It seemed so little... A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

Let us pray.... Prayer for our soldiers: 'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.

Mass Healing in TV Studio


Just Thought you might enjoy this Jeff



Beholding Miracles Nationwide!
An unexpected invitation to speak on the weekly live national broadcast of TBN's service on Friday morning turned into a visitation of the Holy Spirit where hundreds were overcome by the power and presence of God viewed throughout Nicaragua and other places. The studio was packed out and many pastors were there also. It was an explosion! I was very happy to be able to teach and demonstrate clearly the gospel of the kingdom and announce the heavens everyone is crying out to open to already be open since the days of Jesus Christ! While sharing it began to shift the prophetic tomorrow into today and healings began breaking out all over the room and dozens stood only to be blown down by the power of God, right on national TV. To be able also to proclaim the prophetic word over NIcaragua and also prophesy over TBN released tremendous awareness of destiny each time. One woman came 12 hours looking for a miracle. She had stomach disease and unable to walk normally for 4 years and was healed, testifying and walking normally viewed by thousands. An elderly pastor with a cane to help him move was healed and walked back and forth on the platform testifying of being completely healed. Another elderly man also unable to walk without a cane, dropped it and walked on the platform being healed and many, many were touched and healed and encountering God all morning, it was wonderful.
This was aired live and is being shown throughout the week on TBN and next week my son Jedidiah will have this service along with other TBN shows with the youth of the nation and others.
The word is to become flesh and not just be taught but be manifested through the lives of the believers!! Yesterday we did a seminar in Managua also in the church we preached Friday night. I shared and God came as I did and this is the normal experience for the house of God, the church, the gate of heaven, the place where God is. Many were touched by God and then Jed taught on the house of God from Genesis 28 leading into the revelation that each believer is a house of God and the gateway of heaven and shared how the world should say as Jacob did when they behold us, "how awesome is this place", being stunned by the reality of God as we carry His presence and power. Then he followed up by sharing how the body of Christ, each believer and all believers globally are the gateway to heaven and heaven to earth. Then we did something one pastor said he had never seen in Nicaragua. We had purchased food for hundreds and there was plenty to be left over as the people made much more. We told the people that before they ate, we would all go out to the streets and bless people with meals, heal the sick and demonstrate what they had learned. The pastors had to take teams of 10 at least and that is exactly what we did. The word became flesh! The testimonies came back through excited believers and weeping pastors. People were saved all over. One was about to kill himself, others were drunk and said that they would sober up and come to church and get saved. Others were in all kinds of difficult situations and wept after prayer, visibly touched by God and coming to Jesus right there. My group saw 3 or 4 saved, touched by God in the streets and the last place we went was a home right across from the church. A woman was in a chair unable to walk, her knees swollen and had been that way for awhile with that condition. We announced the kingdom and Nicaraguans were doing all of this for the first time. We all prayed and His presence began to descend and we helped her to her feet. She was unable to stand without help but then we had her take a step, then another. Then she began walking right there in the house and was healed! Not in a crusade but in a house. She got saved and the other woman in the house got saved! This is what it means to be transformed by the renewing of your mind and proving the will of God which is on earth as it is in heaven!! There were more testimonies streaming in as we were leaving! Then everyone happily ate their meals!!
The seminar and the crusade that evening nearby were held in one of the most dangerous areas of all of Nicaragua. Listen to this! After the service on Friday night a man had been sent to kill the pastor. The pastor told me yesterday in a relaxed way as if these things happen all the time. When the man came near him, he felt fire all over him and told the pastor what he intended to do but ended up giving his life to Jesus Christ instead! At the seminar in the morning a witch was in the meeting! I did not know this until late last night after the crusade. It seems that every time I came near her, she began moving away from me, I honestly could not remember this, as I am always moving around when I speak. Anyway, she finally left the building say, "this man has the Holy Spirit". It was a testimony to the people there I guess but why should Christians be intimidated by darkness as we have someone bigger in us than all the world outside of us!
The crusade was marvellous!! I love getting a chance to be an evangelist sometimes and just preach Jesus Christ. I had a team of NIcaraguans right there beside me and after a short message send women out to those standing around the meeting and God came upon other women watching right on the spot. People were saved, overcome by His presence as the Nicaraguans prayed for them and the sick. A woman testified of tumors on her breasts disappearing, pain gone and healed. Another man had a protruding tumor on his spine and it dissolved and he was doing all kinds of exercises in front of the crowd showing how healed he was, crying the whole time. An elderly man who could not walk without a cane was healed and waving the cane walked in shock back and forth for a long time in front of the crowd, just enjoying his newfound ability to walk! A man who was attacked by a gang and his arm was smashed by a metal pipe wanted to be able to clap his hands and praise God but could not. He was healed and clapped his hands with joy! Another woman had an inflammation of her stomach that caused it to be bulging out and it shrank back to normal, she was healed. One woman could not move her right let and was healed, others testified of pain leaving and spines and backs healed and we did not have time for all the others but Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, isn't he!!!
It was a great day in the kingdom and it has been an incredible 11 days so far! You have read this and all the wonderful things God has done! Chicigalpa, Chinandega, Dario, Corinto, Leon, El Viejo, Managua etc. Two crusades, TBN, TV in Dario, Seminars in El Viejo and Managua, feedings, the Dario Dump, Crusades and we are so privileged to be a part of what God is doing around the world!!
We have been able to fund this entire trip through those who respond because they love and care enough to do so. That is all the crusades, transportation, housing and feeding of those that come with us, the feeding all who attended the seminars we have had and then feeding over 100 other people resulting in salvation and miracles. Each meal cost a dollar! Today we have a meeting in a new church somewhere in Managua then off to Dario for 3 days to feed hundreds in the Dario dump and minister tomorrow. I do not hold back from committing to do more, give more and bless more by looking at what I do not have at the moment. Faith works by love and love believes and stretches to touch mankind. We thank those of you who have come alongside of us and made this possible.
May the hundreds that read these wonderful reports rise up to co-labor with our beautiful God and help us to continue moving forward today and the coming week, bless you all!!
