Kingdom of Heaven in 2007…

By

A month ago, I told you that I expected to see more of the Kingdom of Heaven in 2007. Well, we began the year off working for an awesome company who traveled to Florida for sales training. They were all believers, but God moved so powerfully during the 3 days of training that when it was over Friday at 5:00, no one left. In fact, we ordered dinner to the meeting room and stayed until midnight where God brought freedom and deliverance and great liberty. It was amazing!

Then, we were off to a destination outside the States to train a group of about 45 insurance sales reps. According to the president, the company consisted of about 1/3 believers. He was happy to let me give a prayer of invitation at the end of the meeting. The day of training was mighty. Someone opened up in prayer and it felt like Heaven just filled the room! At the end of the day, I talked about God's Spirit working on the inside and invited folks to experience that. The whole team thronged the front of the room. Everyone present waited for prayer, some up to an hour or more. Even the cameraman asked for prayer! There was repentance, renewal and great joy expressed through weeping and laughter. It was truly awesome. The president just sat on the front row and wept! This wasn't business as usual!

A few days later, we were in yet another country and had a similar experience with about 20 of the 30 insurance reps present that day seeking prayer and meeting with God. It was really awe-inspiring!

Then we went to another country and my wife was attacked with a sudden physical ailment. Though we were in the tropics, she began shaking uncontrollably with teeth chattering and she felt like she was freezing. Then she heated up with a fever that was 104° if it was anything. It was scary. I emailed home for prayer support from our church, which was immediate. By morning, the fever was gone and other than exhaustion, she was fully recovered.

The next day, we struck back and led a wayward soul (our driver) back to the Father. It was glorious! In addition to what I learned in the rainforest while on some free time, I also learned that we really need prayer covering. I know many of you do pray for us and we will be sure to let you know in advance when we are launching out!

When we got home, weary and tired, I learned that I had been scheduled to speak at the upcoming Peter Lowe’s “Get Motivated� seminars in Fresno and San Bernardino in March. I am telling you that 2007 is going to be a breakthrough year and I look forward to walking it out with all of you!
