Dear Brethren,
WOW!! Our God is
able to do exceedingly and abundantly beyond anything we can think or
imagine!! I knew He had big plans, but I really didn't ever imagine
that it would be like this. I only have a little time here and I
can't possibly give you a full run- down of all that has happened,
but I just want to share a little bit about the last few weeks.
I left Liberty on
11/8 and headed for Branson in Southern Missouri. I was there for
fourteen days and stayed in a bunch of different homes, usually for
about three days each. Got to see LOTS of healing and equiping and
deliverance. The Church At Branson is really lighting up! Also prayed
with Lighthouse Ministries (www.lighthouse-min.org) for Nixa, MO to
get a Lampstand. Some really great ministry time there! And prayed
with the gap-standers in Rockaway Beach, which is a town that really
desperately needs a move of God.
On the night
before Thanksgiving I was asked to speak on a webconference of David
Eells ministry in Florida (www.AmericasLastdays.com). You can hear me
talk about the Red Dragon at the very end of this broadcast -
DEAD LINK.
>From there
went to pray for City of Refuge Ministries in Joplin. They are a
shelter attached to the bus station in a ROUGH part of town.
(www.corministry.com) I knew I needed to pray for Pastor Dan, but it
was Thanksgiving Day and they were closed and he was home with his
family. But sure enough, someone opened up and we chatted for awhile
and then Dan showed up! So we prayed and I hit the road again.
The Lord said to
go to Tulsa and pray at Oral Roberts University. Pretty much
everything was shut down, but the Lord sent me to one of the
residence halls and the student at the desk and I ended up talking
for about six hours! We got a lot of stuff sorted out so that her
pipeline was unclogged and then we prayed for God to light a fire at
ORU. Her name is Amalia. Please pray for her. She understands that
repentance is the answer. They have been praying for and prophecying
about a revival at ORU for a while now. The thing they don't get is
that you don't get a revival until you say you're sorry for being the
kind of people that need reviving! I'm really believing that
something big is going to happen there soon.
I'm leaving out
lots of stuff, but from there it was on to Oklahoma City to pray for
a couple of colleges and some congregations as I was passing through.
The Lord directed me to put Apology to the World letters under the
windshield wipers of all the cars in the student parking lot at
Oklahoma Christian University. Then circled Oklahoma University in
Norman and headed for Dallas.
I arrived in
Dallas and was sent to Carrollton to pray for Gospel for Asia
headquarters (www.gfa.org). It was the day after Thanksgiving and
they were closed, but I circled the building and the Lord let me
check my email on the new laptop He bought me in Branson! (I gave
mine to Chris when he was sent to Washington state.) Turns out GFA
has a Wi-Fi! So the Lord had me look up Dan Hubbell from Winnsboro
and I called him and we prayed and he confirmed that that was my next
stop. Happily, it's only about 2.5 hours from where I was.
Dan has been doing
the heavy lifting of church restoration for MANY years.
(www.churchrestoration.org) Winnsboro has one of the most cohesive
Bodies of Christ I've found so far. I spent a day fellowshiping with
Dan and Laurel and then we went to worship on Sunday at "His
House". The pastor let me pray for Winnsboro so I hit my knees
and repented and wept and many were crying and asking the Lord to
restore the Body in Winnsboro. What followed was two days of amazing
healing and deliverance and equiping and divine appointments. I spent
all day Monday at the women's rehab center (Morgan's Mercy Mansion -
www.mmmrehab.com) run by His House helping the women there get all
cleaned out and running efficiently so they could be mighty warriors
for God instead of victims. God did such amazing work in them!! It
was so pretty! Then back to Fort Worth for a home group meeting, then
back to Gospel for Asia for their monthly all-night prayer meeting on
Friday night.
Saturday morning
there was some ministry time, then I went to distribute the Apology
letter on the campus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in
Fort Worth! About 250 copies, including one under the doors of all
the religion faculty. I personally put an Apology under Paige
Patterson's office door. He is the president of the seminary and was
twice the president of the Southern Baptist Convention. I have NO
idea what the response on campus will be, I just did as I was told. I
pray God will bless it and open hearts and minds. After that I was
sent to Waco and had a really cool divine appointment with one of the
security guards at Baylor University. This morning I worshipped with
the "trolls" that are gathering the Body of Christ in Waco
to feed the poor and worship God every Sunday under the overpass of
the interstate highway. (www.churchunderthebridge.org)
I'm having SO much
fun, I just can't tell you. God is moving, His provision is always
sufficient and I'm getting to see all kinds of miracles every day. I
wish you could all be here! Please keep praying. Today I head out
again and I can't tell you where I'm going. I know, but the Lord says
not to speak it out because we're going to sneak up on the bad guys.
Love you all!!

Servant of God
What's the next stop?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So far I know that
on this trip (or some subsequent one) I need to visit Massachusets,
Iowa, Nebraska, Louisiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Georgia and New Jersey.
I'm sure that there are good reasons to be in all of the states in
between as well. I know that the Lord has already mapped out my route
and arranged for everything.
But just in case
He's told you and He hasn't told me yet, would you check with the
Lord and see if He says I'm supposed to come see you, or stay with
you or pray for you (or rebuke you) or any other such thing? If you
are a city-reacher and a gap-stander and have been weeping and
repenting and mourning for the restoration of the Body of Christ in
your city, I probably need to know you're out there. If you just have
a bed and are willing to let me hang out for a night, let me know.
The Lord has already provided money for me to spend two nights in
hotels (and once in the van), but I'd sure rather be staying with
family! I fast about four days a week, so you probably won't even
have to feed me! ;-)
Please keep
praying that God's minivan will hold out and that I'll make all my
appointments. Please especially pray that I will hear the Lord really
well about the timing of every single step. I already missed at least
one appointment because I talked too much at a lunch meeting and the
window closed for the next divine appointment! He was gracious enough
to redeem the time, but I don't want to do that anymore. Time is
short and we can't afford to waste any! Please pray that I would only
speak what He tells me to speak.
Thanks for all the
intercession that you do for me. I know that there are some folks out
there under a HUGE burden for me and for this trip. The more the
better, but I sure appreciate every one of you. I am more and more
aware that this is a team effort and it's not about me. I'm humbled
and awed when the Lord raises up people with such a burden for me. I
know I'm not out here alone.
Twice now the Lord
has had me give Mark 2:14 to young men and ask them to leave all and
come with me. One prayed really hard about it and heard "Not
this trip" from the Lord. The other blew it off (as near as I
can tell). But I know that the Lord will be raising up a city-reaching
team to travel with me. If I give you Mark 2:14, please pray REALLY
hard about it. It could be a hearing test - or it could be the launch
into what God has designed you for. I know what's coming (at least in
the broad strokes) and it's BIG!
I'm not going to
stop until the Body of Christ starts acting like Jesus - or they kill
me - whichever comes first. If I get soft and give up, please come
slap me around.
I love you all.
The New Song is being sung. Raise your voices!

The Red Dragon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We're getting lots
of good feedback about the Red Dragon book. A lot of people
confirming that they've been hearing similar things but didn't
realize how truly desperately bad things are.
If you didn't
request it, you can still do that. I'm still not getting permission
to post it on the site. Just email me and ask for it if you haven't
already and the Lord says that you should.
Love ya.
