Jan 8th to Jan 26th, 2002

Objective:
To minister at youth convention and teach at bible school in Nagaland then travel to Dehra Dun and again minister at youth convention and teach at Bible School.

As I report on this trip, I am very aware of being influenced by the prophetic intercessory grace on my life. In every way this trip positively impacted my own walk and faith. For three weeks I lived in Psalms 91 like never before. I drew grace, strength, comfort and perspective from the Father in very real and tangible ways. I asked questions and He answered right away. I saw demonic attacks coming and He was my immediate fortress. What I have been taught from the Word was tested and proven true. Needless to say every realm (physical, mind, will, emotion and spirit) were challenged. Yet, the presence of the Father was not only a refuge but also a mighty fortress. Not once was I released or inclined to complain, for the Holy Spirit showed me, who can complain in the presence of God. Not once was I released to make a judgment or be critical of what I saw. The perspective of the love of God for all nations and the demise of sin was always before me. The Father showed me, when I was too ‘spent’ to realize it, that I love Jesus. I am learning that it is one thing to embrace His love but it is totally another to love Him back. The prayers and intercessions of many of my leaders and brethren were carrying me. I was living the reality of being sent. What an honor! What a privilege!

I traveled to Nagaland, which is the extreme north east of India, bordering Burma and China.

Nagaland has sixteen different tribes each with their own dialect. Nagaland is declared a Christian state in India. There is currently political turmoil here because the Nagas want to be independent from India. There were many military personals and checkpoint all over. For the last two years they enjoyed a cease-fire and relative peace. We ministered at a Youth Convention for the Au tribe in Dimapur.

The average attendance was 350. I was part of a Ministering team of four. The heart and vision of the leaders in Dimapur is the equipping of the saints for church planting and evangelism.

 

There are quite a number of Bible Schools and Christian schools.

For the past three years they have planted 200 churches along the China / Burma border. They have never had a woman ministered before and I could tell some of the leaders were nervous. That was quite understandable. The Lord honored the breaking of the Word and the Holy Spirit fell on many in very visible ways. The ministry of Christ in us was received.

Our second destination was Dehradun, which is at the foothills of the Himalayas bordering Nepal. We traveled for two days via train, airplane and taxi to reach this destination. I had my birthday enroute to Dehradun and I missed my family especially on this day. It was cold at the foothills and we had hail and snow a couple of days. I should mention that there is no central heat there. But no worries, I was prepared! We taught at Doon Bible College in Dehradun for a week.

We were given fifteen hours of teaching time with the students. What an opportunity! The school has about 60 students and there were some from Bhutan and Burma They are young men and women with nothing but God’s call and a deep desire to answer it. They are hungry and received teachings on Intercession, the Cross and Servant leadership. I believe the Holy Spirit imparted Jesus to them in a deeper way. These students touched my heart and I continue to pray for them. Their testimonies are powerful and God’s hand is on them. My heart is stirring and intercession is taking form for some of the countries in the 10 / 40 window, especially for the equipping and encouraging of the workers there.

We also ministered in villages and the local church there. The Holy Spirit imparted Jesus! The name of Jesus was lifted up and God graced us with deeper revelations of the Cross.

It was a full trip. When we were not traveling, we were ministering. There is a prayer awakening, an identity with the heart of Jesus within his body world wide, that is going to birth the fullness of the heart of God in this time. I can ‘see’ it.

We, at Fulness Ministries International and Riverside Christian Fellowship have our role and we must continue to walk in them. We cannot neglect the equipping of the saints. The teachings, equipping and impartation I have received (and continue to receive) were invaluable to me on this trip. The Holy Spirit used the Word in me to impart life to others. Give thanks and embrace God’s provision in our local family. Love Jesus, love His people and love His work!

I am convinced that only Jesus can build his church. Well, He did say that, didn’t He?  But are we convinced? That is the question. Yet, He chooses to co-labor with us, his body. The work is so much……but our God IS SOOOOO  BIGGGG!

I believe that for the first time we, the church have what it takes to fulfill the great commission! We have the finances, the media-communication, technology, different graces operating and the people resources. What is on the heart of God? Did Jesus not say, this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the earth, as a witness to all nations then the end will come?

I thank you for your prayers and for loving and supporting my family and me. The grace, strength and protection of our God were tangible and rich to my Joshua and Tabitha. They are a blessing in every sense of the word. It is wonderful to be home. Hallelujah!

…..so shall He sprinkle the nations……Isa.52 :13
