India January 18 - Febuary 7 2006

    The first group of political leaders had arrived less than a minute ago and with my first hand shake and introduction I was being invited to the home of the Secretary of one of India’s main political parties. It was just a taste of what was in store for the night. We had sent out invitations to 35 political leaders in the city of Coimbatore and surrounding area, and about 50 people showed up, most of which were politicians as well as being business men. Most were Hindu, but I later found out that a few were Islamic fundamentalists - actually they were connected to a terrorist cell group.

    When I felt the Lord give me the burden to reach the influential in the city, I had no idea how to accomplish it. But Jacob the head of Bless India, saw a vision of inviting many of them to a very nice dinner at the nicest restaurant in the city. As he put it in India they may not show up for a meeting, but they won’t miss a nice meal. In our invitation to them we explained that we wanted to bless and honor them.

    The only plan for the night was that God would show up, so that we wouldn’t find ourselves in a pickle so to speak. We really had no idea how we would be received - in the natural and according to others’ experiences, we were more than likely to not be received well at all. But, I knew if the King ran the show it would be awesome and that is what happened. Before dinner, my friend Steve White and I shared a little about ourselves and what we did. Afterwards came the big moment. God is so good. Everyone had been giving us a wonderful reception and I lost track of the invitations to homes. After dinner as I began to share I felt like water being drawn into a dry sponge. I don’t recall what all I shared other than part of my testimony and how in their holiest prayer the blessed son of the heavenly father, born of a virgin was Jesus; that Christianity wasn’t a western religion being pushed upon their country, but the revelation of who they had been looking for and even praying about for hundreds of years.

    The meeting could have lasted for several more hours. I have no idea how long I shared before Steve shared. It was definitely a ripe harvest. At the close, I shared two specific words of knowledge for healing. The first for a specific tooth in much pain, the man who stood up was healed completely in a couple of minutes. The result for the second, a pain in the back of the head and neck was the same. As they were healed several started getting up and coming forward for prayer. We could have ministered, I am sure for at least another couple of hours, but had to leave for another appointment.

How many got healed all together, we didn’t know for sure. We did find out the next day that one of the people that Steve prayed for got his hip healed. He was a terrorist. We saw a picture taken shortly after the prayer and there was an angle in front of him in the picture (long story but a supernatural representation of an angelic presence that is unseen by the eye (usually) but shows up in digital pictures). A week or so later while I was in Guntur as part of Randy Clark’s Global Awakening ministry team I felt the Lord show me we were to meet with the terrorist again and see if he would bring some of his friends also. So the day before Seirra and I came home we had another dinner with him and nine of his friends. It also was amazing and the result was the same, they were powerfully touched by Jesus. The  words of knowledge and prophetic words had them amazed them greatly, both by what God revealed about them and by what He wanted to do in their lives. Prior to the dinner we were a bit concerned about what would happen if it were "found out" they were being receptive to Christian preaching, etc. (also for our friend who had contact with them). The short of it is that typically their lives could be in serious danger. The word we got back was that everybody wanted to know why they didn't get to go and when would we be back. Thank you Jesus!

    I felt like the Lord told me He is going to establish His truth that no weapon formed against us shall prosper and that it is the goodness of God that leads to repentance. That believing that when people in certain religions convert or are touched by Christianity their lives become imperiled has given the enemy place for that very thing to happen. But His truth is that the light drives out the darkness, it doesn't give the darkness a greater opening. That when someone is touched by Jesus that touch remains upon them and those who see it are drawn to it because it is what they have been searching for - that is the truth we have to believe and see established. "Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world". So, we now have several doors open into the political and business arena and one opening into a terrorist cell group. One of my major visions is to infiltrate those groups with Jesus, because that is the only way the situation in the world will be changed. It caught me totally off guard that it has started to happen so quickly.

We continued to see many, many salvations, miracles of healings, deliverance, provision, etc.; just as wonderful was seeing the hundreds of people touched by the Hand of His Presence. Often that was the connection to the healing, freedom, etc. In Rajumundry as a part of Randy Clark’s Global Awakening ministry team I saw the greatest miracle I have yet seen. About four of us prayed for a man that was brought to the meeting in a coma, curled up in a fetal position, who had hepatitis and Jaundice (all his muscles were locked up and he had not eaten for 21 days - had had water), get up and walk after about an hour or hour and a half of prayer. You can read about many more testimonies from Randy’s meetings at www.globalawakening.com . Our next trip to India is tentatively scheduled for the last two weeks of June. Let me know if you are interested in going or helping in any way. Once again your friendship, prayers, and support are greatly appreciated.
