God wants to give you more than you can handle, so you will submit it to Him, then He will handle it for you!

The Revealing of Your Faith

In Romans, Paul instructs people to prophesy “according to their faith..."
Rom. 12:6b

This may describe why it is more common to hear prophetic words of JUDGMENT than it is to hear prophetic words of PROMISE and HOPE...

For our prophecies REVEAL OUR FAITH...

Many prophetic words come out of mere human reasoning... as of late I have seen this to be common...

Remember, society ALWAYS declines in the absence of revival... ALWAYS!!!

And the declining moral condition of the world always ends in judgment, if there is no move of God...

So prophetic judgments are nothing but an easy mathematical calculation...

Increasing sin + no repentance = judgment...

Where is the faith in that? Seriously... it takes no faith in believing in decline and judgment...

That is why we are to prophesy according to our faith, not human reasoning...

For it’s the prophecy you cling to which reveals the level of your faith... it also creates the atmosphere you surround yourself with...

For when we prophesy, not according to what we see in the natural, but what we see in the Spirit through faith... our view changes from judgment and darkness, into hope in the glorious light...

We move from hope to HOPE, faith to FAITH, from victory to VICTORY, which moves us from joy to JOY, which leaves us with peace to PEACE!

Note: it is the prophetic word itself that helps to change the atmosphere and bring about the change desired...

So let me ask you...
- Was sin and death conquered at the cross?
- Was the devil defeated and disarmed at the cross?
- Did Jesus raise from the dead in victory?
- Was He not given all authority in heaven and on earth?
- Is Jesus not seated at the right hand of the Father?
- Are we not the heirs of salvation?
- Has He not commissioned us to disciple nations?
- When He returns, will He find faith in the earth?

Come on church... move from being a church to being THE CHURCH...

“Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the ROCK that struck the statue BECAME A HUGE MOUNTAIN AND FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH!!!”Daniel 2:35

Jesus is our ROCK!!! As He is in us, we are also in HIM!

His Kingdom will crush the nations... it will then become a HUGE MOUTAIN that will FILL THE WHOLE EARTH...

So ya, prophecy according to your faith... Do you have faith... in FAITH?

Is your faith built on a big God? Or a big devil? Seriously...

Do you believe in a one world order, or the KING of kings and LORD of lords...

Let hope ARISE, and let our enemies be SCTTERED... this is the AWAKENING!!!

If Jesus never met a challenge that He could not overcome, then Jesus living in you should also never meet a challenge that cannot be overcome.

Dawson the Angels and Jesus!

Dawson is a 4 years old red haired little boy, who has been through a lot in his short life. He lives with a single mother who is now his guardian.

This took place in a home fellowship group right after we had worshiped. Dawson has a drum and a tambourine that he gets out to play while sitting on Grandpa Mark’s lap to join in the worship. His sister joins in with her toy guitar. Dawson got up and danced, spinning around and kicking his leg up while swinging his arms up in the air while we worshiped as well.

Dawson calls me Grandpa Mark, because I have become his grandpa to him. Every time He sees me, he rushes into my arms for a hug while saying, “Grandpa Mark, Grandpa Mark!”

We encourage children to participate openly in our fellowship. Here is what took place after we worshiped.

Grandpa Mark: “Dawson, you seem really happy tonight, why are you happy?”

Dawson: “Ya.”

Grandpa Mark: “Why?”

Dawson: “Cuz Angels are here.”

Grandpa Mark: “Do you see Angels Dawson?”

Dawson: “Ya!”

Grandpa Mark: “Where are they?”

Dawson: “Right there!” Pointing to the floor in front of us.”

Grandpa Mark: “Are they tall, or short?”

Dawson: “Tall!”

Grandpa Mark: “As tall as the ceiling?”

Dawson: “No not that tall.”

Grandpa Mark: “Are they standing right there?” Pointing to a place on the wall.

Dawson: “No, they sitting.”

Grandpa Mark: “Where?”

Dawson: “They there.” Pointing to a place on the floor in front of us.

Grandpa Mark: “What are the Angels doing?”

Dawson: “They singing with us.”

Grandpa Mark: “You heard them singing?”

Dawson: “Ya, they singing.”

Grandpa Mark: “Wow! How many Angels are there?”

Dawson: “18” He said without hesitation.

Dawson’s Mom: “He knows his numbers.”

Grandpa Mark: “Wow, there’s 18 Angels sitting right there on the floor?”

Dawson: “No, some over there.” Pointing behind Carol and Melanie.

Grandpa Mark: “What do they look like?”

Dawson: Look puzzled.

Grandpa Mark: “What color are their clothes?”

Dawson: “White.”

Grandpa Mark: “Are they bright and sparkly?”

Dawson: “Oh, yes! Lots of sparklers.”

Grandpa Mark: “What color of hair do they have?”

Dawson: “White.”

Dawson’s Mom: “White like Grandpa Mark? Or blonde like your sister?”

Dawson: “Like my sister.”

Grandpa Mark: “Wow! Have you seen Angels before?”

Dawson: “Oh yes.”

Grandpa Mark: “Where?”

Dawson: “In my room.”

Grandpa Mark: “The Angels come into your room?”

Dawson: “Yes.”

Grandpa Mark: “When do they come to your room?”

Dawson: “When it’s dark!”

Grandpa Mark: “Do they talk to you?”

Dawson: “Yes”

Grandpa Mark: “What do they say?”

Dawson: “They tell me to be happy in my heart. They kind.”

Grandpa Mark: “Wow, does that help you be happy?”

Dawson: “Ya, makes me happy.”

Grandpa Mark: “Do they talk to you a lot?”

Dawson: “Ya, they gentle they kind.”

Grandpa Mark: “Do you like it when Angels come?”

Dawson: “Yes!” while beaming with joy and throwing his hands in the air.

His mom then tells us about other Angel visitations that Dawson has told her about. Dawson is glowing with joy and peace and leans into my arms for a hug as we talk.

Grandpa Mark: “Has Jesus ever visited your room?”

Dawson: “Yes!” As if it were common.

Grandpa Mark: “When does He come?”

Dawson: “At night.”

Grandpa Mark: “Does He sit on your bed?”

Dawson: “No, He stands and talks to me.”

Grandpa Mark: “What does He say?”

Dawson: “I don’t know.”

Grandpa Mark: “Does He use words you don’t understand?”

Dawson’s Mom: “Does He speak in a different language like Spanish?”

Dawson: “No, just words I don’t know.”

I believe Dawson is describing Jesus praying over him, interceding for him, perhaps even singing over him.

Dawson’s mom then tells us that Jesus visits Dawson a lot. He sometimes sits down to eat with them. She will ask Dawson if Jesus is hungry. Dawson will say “YES.” So his mom will serve Jesus a plate of food.

This was such a beautiful experience for us to witness. Dawson comes to fellowship a lot. But tonight he was open and very chatty. If I had not pressed in we would have missed out on the whole experience.

Was this just Dawson fabricating a made up story? I don’t believe so. Neither did his mom. This was him just honestly telling us what he was seeing, hearing and experiencing.

How often do we relegate such things to a child’s vivid imagination. Discrediting what they are seeing. I know that happened to me when I was young. How about you?

I believe it’s time for us to pay attention to what our children are seeing and hearing, for of such is the Kingdom of God!

I would love to hear your stories of Angel visitations or encounters with Jesus that you had when you were a child, or that your children or grandchildren had while growing up.

SOVEREIGNTY IN 2024
Kingdom Authority

In 2024 if we are going to understand Kingdom, and Kingdom Authority, we need to understand Sovereignty…

This will probably stretch you… it may even sound offensive…

When God created Adam and Eve, He handed them a Kingdom. He gave them dominion, or rulership… He gave them a degree of sovereignty over the earth and all that is in it… only a sovereign ruler has authority.

God is overall sovereign, so human beings, created in the image of God, are created with but a degree of sovereignty.

Sovereignty means at least two things:
- First, we were created for rulership under God’s rulership. We were designed to rule in submission to God, to advance His Kingdom here on earth as it is in Heaven.

- Second, only a sovereign being has a free will… and a free will gives the being freedom to choose. So a sovereign being has choice, we have choice. God has ultimate choice; we have limited choice. God wants us to bring our choices under His sovereign rule so we can co-rule with Him as sons and daughters and ambassadors in His Kingdom.

As we bring our choices into alignment with God’s choices, we can then rule under God’s reign.

Our submission to the King gives us a right to use the King’s power, the power of His name, to advance the Kingdom as we operate under His authority.

But we can only operate in authority to the degree that we are in submission to the King.

Free will also gives a sovereign being the ability to make wrong or poor choices…

Many people think that God is in control… yet if He creates beings in His image and likeness than those beings will have a degree of sovereignty… and God honors the sovereignty in which He created them with… they will have the control.

So if a sovereign being makes a poor choice, or a wrong choice, God still honors their free will in making such a choice… He doesn’t overpower them with His Sovereign Will…

So God is in charge, but He isn’t in control… for if He were in control He would be responsible for every sovereign choice a being makes… good or evil… it would also void the power of the goodness of His love…

Yet there are only two Kingdoms… the kingdom of darkness of this world and the Kingdom of light… the Heavenly Kingdom…

The Heavenly Kingdom is sovereignly ruled by a King in love with His subjects… He rules in grace and truth… Light!

The worldly kingdom is ruled by the prince of darkness who hates his subjects and rules in fear vailed in lies… darkness.

We submit to the King of Heaven by believing and abiding in the light of His truth… by faith, His faith… He placed a measure of faith in us, it's His faith when you believe and abide in the truth, He entrusts you with the Authority of His Name, by His faith placed in you.

In the same way, we submit to prince of this world by believing and abiding in his lies… when you believe the lies you empower the liar… he then steals your authority and uses it against you.

By denying or ignoring that either of these Kingdoms exist, is actually believing a lie… when you believe a lie, you submit to the author of all lies… and that liar rules over you..

At the resurrection, Jesus was given all authority and power in heaven and on earth… which means the devil has none… he was disarmed and defeated… he has no arms and no feet… in a pool we would call him “Bob.”

The only power and authority he will ever have is in the lie… for he is empowered when we believe his lies…

Have you ever noticed that often those who ignore or deny God’s existence seem to thrive and even prosper in this world? Why? Because they are no threat to the kingdom of darkness.

The devil, the prince of darkness uses their prosperity to distance them from God and His purposes… they become a god unto themselves… their own sovereign…

Yet more often than not… they become slaves to their prosperity… it rules over them… they become irrational in their independence from God. For they believe they have no need of Him.

Again, God honors that sovereign choice… He will not force a nonbeliever to submit to His sovereignty… for He created them to sovereignly choose for themselves… then be accountable to those choices.

In the judgment, God will show all those who sovereignly chose wrong what could have been… the glorious plans He had for their lives… and that alone will cause “every knee to bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord.”

God is a good King… He chose to create you in His image and likeness… then He gave you dominion to rule and reign in life… that’s sovereignty…

What kind of a sovereign ruler will you choose to be? That is up to you… choose carefully for you don’t want to miss out in what might have been…

Happy New Years… let this be the year of your revealing...

Romans 8:19 “The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the revealing of God's glorious sons and daughters!”

Living Fearless in End-Times

I want you to be aware that, like it or not, your end-times core values could be affecting your witness, your ministry, and more importantly, your legacy.

This I believe is extremely important in all we faced in the shaking we’ve been experiencing. Please hear me...

I believe in the Awakening, we owe it to our children’s children’s children to have the courage to question and even challenge old paradigms that could steal hope from the coming generations.

For hope is the seedbed which faith grows in, and faith is what Jesus is looking for when He returns to this planet: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8

I like what Bill Johnson says, “To think that things are going to get worse and worse in the last days takes no faith.”

Let me ask, what is so desiring about Jesus returning right now and relegating billions of people to hell?

Peter understood this when he said, “contrary to man's perspective, the Lord is not late with His promise to return, as some measure lateness. But rather, His “delay” simply reveals His loving patience toward you, because He does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

It is so important that we put on the mind-of-Christ and not let present circumstances dictate our end-time stances.

For every time we react to the world’s condition instead of responding to the Father in faith, we find ourselves under the circumstances, not above them.

A lot of really bad doctrine comes out of a sense of powerless Christianity.

Ones in which we tend to spiritualize our dysfunction, mask our fears and excuse our inability to see greater works happen through our lives.

Personally, I am on an end-times journey.

I actually feel like Abram when he first met God. The Lord told him to leave his country and journey to a land He would show him (see Genesis 12:1).

Get this, Abram did not know where he was going; he just knew where he could not stay.

I know I cannot stay in a end-times theology that is stealing my children’s future, instilling fear as a primary motivation for serving the Father and undermining the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations.

Even though I am not sure where I am going, I have decided to allow a few simple core values to determine my end-times journey.

First, I will not let mystical passages that have been debated for centuries undermine the clear commands, commissions, promises and prophecies we have from the Lord Himself.

Second, I will not embrace an end-time view that diminishes hope, promotes fear or re-arms the same devil whom Jesus disarmed and defeated on the cross. (see Colossians 2:13–15)

I grew up sitting and participating in hundreds of so called “Evangelistic Crusades” that tried to use fear as a persuasive argument for salvation.

In a powerless church who’s only focus was the horror of the coming end-times. Scaring the hell out of them seemed to have worked for a short time, but only a few weeks afterwards those scared souls left and never returned, and we judged and blamed their lack of faith. Yikes... it grieves me to this day that I was one of them...

The book of Revelation was written to be the revelation of Jesus Christ, not the revelation of the Antichrist. (see Revelation 1:1)

It was penned in a prophetic mystical style common to prophecy; therefore, it is prone to subjectivity in our understanding.

For me, I will not allow its interpretation to promote powerless Christianity, nor a church who cowers behind it’s four wall longing to be rescued from a powerful devil.

The command that has been passed down from generation to generation with growing momentum is to “destroy the works of the devil!” (see 1 John 3:8)

It still remains true in this shaking season in life that when we submit to God we resist the devil, and he must flee from us! (It’s a one step process, submit! see James 4:7)

I will not embrace an end-times view which undermines our commission to make disciples of all nations or deters our mandate to restore our ruined cities.

Finally, I will not believe any end-time interpretation of Scripture that redefines the nature of God.

- He is good all the time...
- His love for us is indescribable... incomprehensible... unimaginable... and impossible to exaggerate...
- His mercy runs deeper than the ocean...
- His compassion is wider than the sea...
- His thoughts toward us are innumerable...
- He created us for His pleasure and therefore He actually enjoys being with us...

With all that being said, there are still Scriptures that seem to point to another perspective that is highly pessimistic and cannot be ignored.

As a result, it is my conviction that more than ever, we need the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth and guide us through these theological minefields in our end-times understanding journey.

May God give us wisdom and insight for the shaking times that we now live in, and may we together find the Promised Land of our souls in the Awakening...

The world needs an awakening of “hope” right now, it needs “good news” about the GOD who gave us Jesus the hope of the nations, not more “I told you this was coming” fear-mongering end-times theology...

That’s why I choose to in the end-times... optimistic of a coming great awakening in which the world will be filled with His glorious light!

I believe in a VICTORIOUS church, a bride worthy of her Groom... not a sickly cowering bride fearfully awaiting a rescue...

My question is, how about you?

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’
By Grandpa Mark

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all thru the land, people were traveling, back home to their towns...

Young Mary knew, that her time was so near, for the Child of promise, soon would be here...

Yet the Inns were all full, as the young couple searched, for a place to but stay, on that cold winters night...

In but a stable, dirt for a floor, animals to warm them, and a manger of hay... Dear Jesus was born, on that first Christmas day...

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse... as this wee little baby, lay down His sweet head...

His eyes-how they twinkled!!! His dimples how merry!!! His cheeks were like roses, His nose like a cherry!!!

To Mary was born a promise so precious, for she was the Mother, of the King who would save us.

The stars high above, were shining so bright, One in particular, lit up the night…

Yet no one much noticed, and no one much cared, a humble beginning, for the King of all Kings.

On a far away hill, Shepherds were tending, their sheep in the field... When, what to their wondering eyes should appear, an Angel of Light, who lit up the night...

The shepherds sprang, to their feet with a start, they covered their faces, and hid from the light...

What could this be??? They feared for their life... never before, had they seen such a site...

“Fear not!” the angel did say, “for I bring you good tidings of the greatest joy... For a Saviour is born, to YOU, on this day...”

“In the city of David, all wrapped in old clothes, laying in, a manger so low, is the sign you should know...”

High in the sky, arose such a clatter, a flutter of Angels, burst open sky...
Such GLORY, such SPLENDOR, such NEWS they did bring...

“Glory to God in the highest of highs...
Who to earth brings us PEACE, and GOOD WILL to all men...”

As quick as they came, the angels were gone... did that just happen? How could this be? Whom would they tell?

So leaving their sheep, not able to sleep, they had to go see, this new baby King...

So true to the sign, as true as could be... all wrapped like a gift, this King did they see.

They bowed, and did worship and glorified Him... for He was the promise, the Angels foretold...

Remember the star, that lit up the sky,
that grand Holy night, when the Angel’s came by?

For at that same time, from really afar,
King’s did but follow, that same glorious star...

For in ancient writings, they did find, mysterious tales, of the King of all kings, born under this star...

So the Star they did follow, to Bethlehem town... And rejoiced with great joy, when they saw what they saw...

Kings fell to their knees and did worship with awe... a mother’s sweet child, the King of them all...

They brought Him their best, so we are told... their Gold, their Myrrh, their Frankincense... Provision, Anointing and Fragrance for life...

Now thousands of years, have all come gone, since Jesus was born, but not into sin...

He came as a man, perfected in love...
To save us from sin, the mess we’re all in...

He came, and He lived and died for us all... His blood washed us clean from the sin we’re all in… forgiven, delivered, redeemed and restored.

Almighty God, so loved us so...
that He gave us His best, His only true Son... His Son was the value He placed on our soul.

He showed us the Father, His life testified, for He only did, what His Father was doing… and only said, what His Father was saying… a life of surrender, to His way, to His truth and to His life, He would follow…

Miracles so grand and so many, would fill the whole earth, just in their telling… signs make us wonder, still astound and amazing us, yet to this day.

He promises us all, these same works we’d do, and even greater, works could we do… just believe in His name and stand strong, in the gift of His faith.

He’s prepared us a home, as snug as can be... a home with Him there, a home with the Father.

He’s coming again, soon it will be...
To gather us home, to the grandest of feasts... all heaven is waiting, and those gone before us… no more tears will be shed, except tears of joy…

So Christmas twill be, celebrated ever, remembering our King, who gave us forever...

God gave us His best, now give Him your best... Your heart full of love, is all that He wants...

“Dear Jesus I give you, my heart and my life... So fill me with joy, and Your glorious light!

To think of the value He placed on your life, He cherished you so that He gave you His all!!!

So Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night...

WHY BABIES DREAM IN THE WOMB
A Total Mind-shift For Me

Newer research has proven that babies still in the womb dream. That is mind-blowing to me.

Think of it, a baby living in a completely dark environment, who has never had any experiences, DREAMS! WOW!

So what do babies dream about?
They’ve never even seen anything. They’ve never experienced anything.

Or have they?

Just read Psalms 139:12-18, “There is no such thing as darkness with You God. The night, to You, is as bright as the day; there's no difference between the two.(Note: perhaps there really is no darkness in the womb)
You formed my innermost being, shaping my delicate inside and my intricate outside, and wove them all together in my mother's womb.
I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex! Everything You do is marvelously breathtaking.
It simply amazes me to think about it!
How thoroughly You know me, Lord!
You even formed every bone in my body
when You created me in the SECRET PLACE; carefully, skillfully You shaped me from nothing to something. (Note: You experienced God in the secret-place before you were born)
You saw who You created me to be before I became me!
Before I'd ever seen the light of day, the number of days You planned for me
were already recorded in Your Book. Every single moment You are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that You cherish me constantly in Your every thought!
O God, Your desires toward me are more
than the grains of sand on every shore!
When I awake, You are still with me.”

Wow! There are so many things about this passage that I love. First of all, God knows absolutely every little detail about each of us—and He has known each of these unique things before we were ever born.

We see how present, how near, how involved God is with each person while he or she is still in the womb.

He personally weaves together each intricate part of who we are in the “SECRET PLACE.”

It is in the “Secret-Place” where God writes a story for each one of us before we’re ever born. He dreams up a beautiful love story for our life while shaping us in the quiet dark of our mothers womb.

God’s thoughts toward us are overwhelming! They are unending. And God has these thoughts while we are still in the womb.

God surrounds us. He wraps us in His “presence,” and He breathes life into us—all while we are still in the womb.

All babies know is “spirit.” For their bodies, their minds, their will and their emotions are still being formed, yet their “spirits” are surrounded by the “presence of God.”That is amazing!

So babies are nurtured and soaked in the “presence of God” while still in the womb.

So what do babies dream about?

Babies in the womb have mass amounts of information to process as they are interacting with the “presence of God” while being formed by His hand.

They’re taking it all in and learning to “process” the activity God’s Spirit.

Job 33:15-16 says, “In a dream, in a vision of the night, while deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instructions.”

The only bed a pre-born baby knows is their mother’s womb… in these baby dreams, these visions in the night, God is opening the ears of the baby and setting their instructions.

We know babies hear in the womb, because they know their mother’s voice after they are born… (perhaps they even share dreams with their mothers)

Remember, at the moment her aunt “heard” Mary's voice, the baby within Elizabeth's womb (John) leaped and kicked. And suddenly, Elizabeth was filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit! “The moment you came in the door and greeted me, my baby danced inside me with joy!” (Luke 1:41,44)

Seems like a God encounter in the womb to me, doesn’t it?

I love the end of Psalm 139:18—“when I awake, I am still with you.” Whether “awake” is intended to mean awake from sleeping or “when I am born,” the promise remains.

God is saying, “I am still with you.” We are with Him, and He is with us… nothing changes.

What if, from their birth, we taught our children how to continue to live out of their spirits?

What if we nurtured their spiritual sensitivity to God and equipped them to experience the supernatural reality of heaven’s presence here on earth?

What if we refused to belittle what they saw and experienced by calling it “a figment of their imagination” and instead trained them to think seeing and experiencing things in the “spirit” were “normal?”

For once we are born, does heaven’s pursuit of us ever change?
- God’s thoughts toward us don’t change.
- His desire to be near us doesn’t change.
- His presence surrounding us doesn’t change.
- And His wild love story for our lives doesn’t change.

As Matthew 5:8 says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they WILL SEE God.”

WHEN GOD EMPTIED THE HOSPITAL
by Jennifer Toledo

I personally helped lead the group of children who went to the large government-run hospital, Bungoma District Hospital. This hospital is the largest, most populated hospital in the region.

After our first experience in the hospital with Richard and the team, my expectations were through the roof.

I was confident that God was going to do amazing things that day. We divided ourselves up among the six wards. One ward was for women, one was for men, one had children, one prisoners, and so on.

But there was one ward that will forever be etched into my memory. This ward was for all of the worst cases—it basically was the death ward. There were beautiful people in their last stages of AIDS and other horrible diseases.

The room was full of terminally ill patients who hadn’t been given much hope. In fact, it wasn’t too uncommon to find a dead body still lying in the room that had not been taken out yet.

That was the case the day we went in with the children. The children were as overwhelmed as I was, but we were so full of faith and expectation.

We had a beautiful time loving on and speaking life over each patient. We were able to lead many to the Lord, and we were very well received in each of the wards.

Although we saw some people get saved and some testify that they were feeling “a little better,” I was very dissatisfied. I was expecting crazy miracles and wanted way more than just “a little better!”

As we were leaving the hospital one beautiful little girl with huge brown eyes who was walking hand in hand with me looked up at me and said, “Wasn’t that amazing?”

My heart was heavy, and I was really battling disappointment, so her question caught me off guard. Trying to hide my inner argument with God, I smiled and said, “Yes, tell me what was so amazing about that?”

She looked up with her eyes bright and her face filled with wonder and said, “By tomorrow all those people are going to be healed!” It was one of the moments when the reality of how pathetic and faithless I was became apparent.

I wanted faith like this child. My eyes filled with tears. I smiled at her and said, “You know what, sweetheart, you’re right! By tomorrow all those people are going to be healed.”

I was instantly reminded of the verse in Mark 16:17 that says, “And these signs shall follow them that believe.”

I could deal with that. Signs can come after I leave anytime. I settled in my spirit to be at peace about it and let God do whatever He wanted to do.

We continued with our day’s activities, and first thing the next morning Patrick, my dear pastor-friend, received a call from one of the senior hospital staff asking him to come down to the hospital immediately.

A few people from our team headed to the hospital to meet with the hospital staff member, and with absolute seriousness the man asked, “Who is this God you pray to?”

He was shocked and overwhelmed, and with hardly any explanation he began to lead some of our team through each of the wards.

Words cannot express the beauty and joy in those rooms— they were empty! Of all six wards, only two had a few people left in them. The rest were empty! God had healed most all of them!

So many children were suffering with malaria and typhoid— they were totally healed.

AIDS patients were suddenly waking in the night feeling perfectly fine. They just got up out of their beds and announced that they were healed and going home.

Some of the doctors and nurses were absolutely overwhelmed and amazed! They knew these things were not medically possible.

Something supernatural had taken place. Many of them just wept showing the empty beds and telling the stories. There was story after story of how the patients just suddenly felt fine and packed up their things and left. Shocking! Mind-blowing! Beautiful! Jesus is so amazing!

The head nurse of the whole region was there that day and was so moved by what God did that she went on to train other nurses in how to release “true healing” to patients when they are admitted.

That precious woman to this day is still on our board of directors in Kenya and continues to carry the vision of children moving in the supernatural.

There was one particular patient who moved me greatly. She was in her last stages of AIDS and was dying.

We were able to lead her to the Lord and left her with a Bible. I asked about her when we returned the next day, and she was one of the patients who suddenly announced in the night that she was totally fine.

She rose up off her deathbed, packed her bag, and went home. We were able to track her down and found out that within a week she was back in the university and was completely well—giving all the glory to God!

We didn’t have to convince people to get saved—their hearts couldn’t resist Him!

After seeing so many miracles in the hospitals, the children continued to visit the hospitals and release healing even after the siege ended.

The children had been visiting the largest private hospital in town for several weeks when we received a call from the head matron.

The matron, who happened to be a Christian, said, “Thank you for continuing to send over the kids! So many people continue to get healed every day!”

She informed us that a group of the children, in fact, had been coming every day during their lunch break from school, and God was moving powerfully! We were thrilled at the news.

Then, half-jokingly, she told us. “Well, it’s wonderful what God is doing, but if this keeps happening, you’ll have to pray for us all to find new jobs!”

Well, sure enough, the children continued to visit the hospital every day on their lunch break for the next couple of months.

Amazingly enough, people were getting healed all the time—and usually before a doctor had even seen them.

I’ll never forget the day I received a message from Patrick that the hospital matron called. She wanted us to be the first to know that so many people were being healed through the ministry of the children that the hospital had taken a huge hit financially and was going to close down.

Healing had become so commonplace the hospital was no longer needed!

Though sad about losing her job, the hospital matron was overjoyed to see the power of God at work through the children!

As children continued to contend for lasting fruit in their city, there was one other health center they continued to visit and pray over regularly.

This particular health center was known as a place where school-aged girls and women went to obtain abortions.

The children prayed fervently for the place to close down, and sure enough, within two months the facility had closed down and later became a restaurant!

This is our God! Our God is alive, He is powerful, He is loving, and He is good! Those senior hospital staff members were undone and overwhelmed by this kind of God.

I believe children are primed for encountering God. Their purity and simplicity open them up to a realm that through the years many of us have learned to tune out.
