…Moving from Faith to Faith…in Jesus’ Manifest Presence…
First of all we want to express our heartfelt thanks to those of you who have given sacrificially to the Kingdom of God. For great is your reward in Heaven. As you have been obedient and faithful in your prayers and giving hundreds of lives have been impacted by the life-changing message of the Glorious Gospel of our Messiah, Jesus Christ.
Our trip to Grenada was bathed with much prayer and fasting as we returned to an old well in Mansfield, Ohio…Greatest Love Ministries. Sister Pat and Woody Hightower allowed us to spend hours in prayer the week prior to our departure and an old well sprang up! This intense preparation was necessary for God to prepare our hearts for the journey ahead.
On June 16th, as we were drawing from the well, we were given specific visions that were fulfilled while in Grenada, and our vision for worldwide missions was also rekindled. That evening we had a group of seasoned prayer warriors that meet with the sole purpose of sending us off bathed in prayer and prophetic word.
One of the prophecies we received was that a wind was behind us speeding up our journey, and as we completed one task, we would be at the next, the next and the next. Even our flight to Grenada was evident of His wind behind us. All of our flights left early, arrived early and we went through customs with joy and peace.
June 17th we arrived in Grenada we were seated in the back of the plane. The flight attendants opened the back door for us to depart ahead of the crowd. We exited the plane, removed our shoes as we were prompted by the Spirit, and took dominion immediately.
Before we reached our home base in Bathway, we stopped at Fellowship of Believers Church in Pearls. Prayers were intense and we received 3 passages; Psalm 20, Isaiah 25 and 26, to pray and declare over this congregation and community. When we arrived at Bathway, we were refreshed and ready for the journey before us.
Saturday June 18th we were gleaning from Acts 3. [This was the foundation for the meetings in Grenada.] At 4 PM we arrived at Fellowship of Believers Church and the rains came. Grenada is like many communities where we allow the weather the dictate to us the scope of our ministry.
We began to share our testimony about taking authority over the rains in Mansfield, OH. First, during our weekend church camping event and then about covenant from 7-8 AM and 6-8PM as we prayer walked our city. As we shared about averting storms of destruction we were prompted to ask Abba for a covenant window at 4:30PM so we could reach out to the community. He answered, “Yes.”
Time and space does not permit for
us to share the entire scope of the teaching from Acts 3 teaching here. [Lord
willing, this teaching will be put in a booklet form for you to glean from.]
However, here is a key for you. The gate called, “beautiful” does not mean
“pretty.” Rather, it means, “produced at the right season…belonging to the
right hour or season (timely), i.e. (by implication) flourishing (beauteous
(figuratively)) Derivation: from G5610.[1]”
G5610 means…”an "hour" (literally or figuratively)
Derivation: apparently a primary word.[2]”
Also, many of you have been carrying people to the gate called beautiful, don’t give up. Many of you have been carried to the gate…don’t give up. “To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” (Eccl. 3:1) When Jesus walked the earth, this man was not healed. Even though Jesus was found in Solomon’s Porch (John 10:23) during his lifetime… yet he was not healed. Why? It was not time for the purpose to be revealed. Had he been healed earlier, 5,000 men (Acts 4) would not have come to the Gospel. [More on this at another time.]
Monday we taught at St John’s Secondary School about the Identity Crisis in young David’s life and more than 120 students gave their lives to Jesus! Monday evening, again Acts was revisited with great power. […and we are still “chewing on these things.”] Tuesday Hebrews 11 and “Biblical Faith” was taught and a prophetic act of laying down burdens and “sweeping” them away. Wed. the prophetic word flowed with authority and power. Thursday was to be a free day…however we needed to get alone with Abba preparing for the next leg of our journey…
Friday and Saturday was our Spiritual Warfare and Prayer Camp. Another strong teaching was presented concerning praying God’s Word and Listening Prayer on Friday. The results were amazing on Saturday. We woke early with Psalm 63 on our hearts, and a teaching about natural vs. spiritual allies and how to utilize them.
Psalm 63 was a direct response to a vision given on the 16th of June. This passage is so powerful… we would encourage you to take 20 or 30 minutes and get alone with God… your Bible and a pen and pad. Write down how this Psalm ministers to your heart. Then begin to pray this Psalm back to God, over yourself, your families, congregations, city, nation and the nations. Amazing!
On Sunday, the 26th, we ministered separately to 2 congregations in the AM and together in River Sallie in the evening. Matthew 15, and Mark 7 and 8 were the theme for Pearls as we taught how Jesus walked with his disciples to be in place for the Syro-Phoenician woman, and then back again to the Decapolis region for 3 days of ministry, sitting and healing… then arising and taking 1 man apart from the crowd…
On this morning, as we were praying, Pastor James told me of a lady who’s daughter was hearing voices (being vexed) telling her to take a knife and kill herself. Praise God! With bold faith it was declared to the mother that her child would be delivered from the tormenting spirits and after praise and worship, the daughter arrived…after service she was gloriously delivered and set free! Filled with the Holy Spirit and joy flooded her soul! In River Sallie, the hunger for more was being released so that the events that took place were being prepared in advance by the Holy Ghost. Sunday and Monday the hunger for His presence began to grow and grow… Early Tuesday morning we went to “Prayer Mountain.” Here prophetic declarations were made over the nation. People possessed with demons were delivered as they began to manifest… miraculous healings… Souls saved… and Tues night… The presence of the Almighty showed up!
Wave after wave of people came for healing… deliverance… salvation. A bar across the street emptied as the people were being drawn by the Spirit of God. There is no way to describe what happened that night except to say that no one was ready to leave… His presence was so thick. We returned to our base camp about 12:30AM Wed… [How hungry are we for His manifest presence?]
The events of Wed were God ordained appointments. Praying for the cleansing of the land where innocent blood was spilled on a stretch of the road… Meeting a believer who confirmed that this was the area where we needed to be praying with incredible testimony. Ministry in the hospital in St. George’s where a young man that came to Christ was reading about “Extreme Faith.” Healing virtue flowed… awesome! Wed night was a season of preparation for the next 2 days of street ministry in Pearls… Bringing the manifest presence of Jesus to the people in the market place.
As we were in Grenada, June was a month of imparting supernatural faith. July was a month where the impartation and demonstration of how to be the Light of the world we are called to be happened.
We could continue to share testimonies of the manifest presence of Jesus… More than 250 souls were saved… countless others were delivered from demons, healings, families restored and a Biblical Culture established in a young nation (37 years old) where cultural Identity was missing. Our last day in Grenada…Jesus invited us into His presence as He ministered through us all day long with salvations, and prophetic declarations.
The Worship team from Pearls spent the night with us as we enjoyed sweet fellowship with one another… As was prophesied in 2010, we would leave our hearts broken for and in every nation we visited for His glory… Grenada now, along with India… you have my heart.

With Supernatural Faith!
“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee…” Philemon 1:4-7b
