The Called

The Called

Upon entering into rest tonight the Lord reminded me of those called to this last crusade. My companions in a quest to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit and the great commission. They were impressed with one thing and one thing only, walking in His Footprints on this journey. That meant not straying to either the right or the left but in complete alignment with His desire for us. This group remained steadfast, united, and flexible in a culture very different from their normal routine.

Jo Ann Capturing it all!

As I reflect on each personality we had the dynamic, the gentle, the prayerful, the contemplative, the worshipful, the patient, the enthusiast, and the servant, all were unified. You would think we had known each other for years as we walked out each day in His light. Quite to the contrary, we were from 5 different states, some retired, some students, some pastors, some teachers, some managers, some heavy equipment workers, but our commonality was Jesus and Him glorified. You see we live to honor the one who gave it all, we live to find the treasures He hid for us each day, we live to walk out the great commission and we live as New Testament Disciples in love and power.

Reflections

My time with these chosen few are savored memories; moments flashing before my eyes in a picture and a solemn joy of their abiding friendship in my life forever. A tribute to those who have obeyed and gone forth to bring the good news of Jesus. Friends, it is without a doubt in my mind that all 8 of your seats were upgraded because  their is a Daddy in heaven who is so happy with you. May the Lord bless you and keep you close in our time apart.

Arm Out Stretched

This Crusade instilled in me the importance of pressing into His promises. It was no longer others that I read about and the things happening in their lives but this was reality, it happened to me. It happened to my brothers and sisters in Christ, it can happen to you. Our world is lost in the deprivation of sin and can't see its way out. Many can't see their error but our Father sees everything and His heart carries this burden to save us.

Let me tell you a short story of a trip I made with our children here in Honduras. We planned a beach trip for them which only occurs maybe twice a year. So the event was exciting; one in which each of the children looked forward to. We went to the beach despite the rain. The rain was warm, the water was warm and the company was warm and friendly. I slipped out into the deep water to play with the older children. After a while I headed into the beach to dig in the sand with our toddlers. They were collecting shells and I happily jumped in too. They dug for all the brightly colored shells, it was fun because they were having  fun. With sand collecting where I did not want it I swam back out to the deep. Shortly, I noticed the boys were in another area digging so I launched out to meet them. They too were collecting shells, little did I know that these multicolored shells were actually clams. Both houses, the girls house and the boys house, were collecting clams to make clam chowder. I had been assisting in this collection without realizing the value of these colored shells. They were beautiful and good to eat.

 How many times do we have things, objects in our hands without realizing their amazing value?  You see our God sees us like these shells, we have amazing value and it breaks His heart to see us buried in the sand so we cannot see, or damaged by the pounding of the sea. His heart is to restore us to our rightful place with Him. His story has always been about restoration, that has not changed. His hand is still out stretched now. Will you grab it and teach others to grab it too?

So for now and always, I cling to my Savior for I want to see the value in others as He saw value in me. He restored me and He can restore you no matter where you are or where you have been. He is all about restoration. The question is where are you going? His arm is out stretched still.....

A Church in Motion

Today our team returned stateside with hearts and faith raised. What transpired these last 10 days is nothing but miracles after miracles. When Jesus said go into all the world, He meant it. He meant it when He said He would send a helper. He meant it when He said greater works you will do. He meant it when He said Love is greater. He meant it when He said teach them to observe all things that I have commanded you. He meant it when He said I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Each one of us felt His strong presence amongst us as we walked out the great commission. What’s next for the church?

When you start a rock rolling downhill it doesn’t stop unless it hits something. Our sisters and brothers at Heart to Heart in Honduras have a fire started and they decided they are going to get the flame glowing. PTL! A call was made tonight and it ignited faith in the church. When you see love and power revealed, the gospel at work, joy and excitement rises. My heart leaps for this church and this country. A little spark can ignite a whole forest. More Fire Lord!

We can learn a lot if we walk in faith taking God’s Word and His promises to heart without any doubt. Once I doubted that miracles were not for today; once I doubted that Holy Spirit baptism wasn’t for today. Boy was I wrong and now that I know the truth I am learning to walk in it. The Father gives good gifts; His desire is for us to walk closely with Him in intimate fellowship and learn to use what He given us.

If your journey with the Lord has been mundane I am here to tell you He has more for you. He has lives for you to touch; He desires to co-labor with you. Reach out to Him and watch how He shows up in your life. “My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow Me.”

Tonight at church the story of the paralyzed man by the pool was shared. When the angel stirred the waters someone else made it to the pool first.  He waited 38 years to get healed, how long are we going to wait to help the drunk, the drug addict, the prostitute, and the homeless…..

The day of salvation is today. Join me won’t you?

The End of This Chapter

The End of This Chapter

Bruce C. teaching a new hand game.

Fifty youth in the Heart to Heart church came out to hear Bruce Carlson and Bruce Van Natta’s last talk. Bruce C. spoke about four things that are necessary to have in order to change the world. First a passion for prayer and second a reality that we are in a battle with principalities and powers of darkness. Third, we must believe in miracles and finally we must have a passion for evangelism. Without these four things happening in our lives we will have little penetration into the world.

Youth wanting more of Jesus to help the Nation of Honduras!

Bruce V. quotes I Corinthians 4:20, “The kingdom of God is not in word but in power”.  He asked the youth who prayed for someone last night and saw a healing?  Many raised their hands. A young boy in the front prayed for a man with pain under his rib cage and an ankle that was damaged, both were healed and the pain left. Another young man who had received healing prayer the night before prayed for a women with back pain and it disappeared. This is love and power at work. These youth had an encounter with the name of Jesus. It is by His stripes we are healed and by faith we step out on the promises in His word.

This trip brought light into darkness, hope to those in fear and healing to those in need. It was a trip of empowering others in the name of Jesus, freeing those held in bondage and loving new brothers and sisters in Christ. This team walked into the jail to bring light where there is none, they searched the halls of the hospital to bring healing and salvation to the hurt and dying. This is carrying the cross of Jesus and this brings joy to those who are perishing.

The American Association of Christian Counselors reported that 50% of the youth 21 and over leave the church. Why, because they lack an encounter with the living God. Start building your relationship with Jesus today, don’t wait, don’t delay, dig into the Word, cry out to Him. Daily, many are perishing in this darkness, bring in the light.

Wake up Church!  The battle is not over.

Last Conference Day

Today was moving to say the least. Below is a small list of miracles and healings that occurred. We thank Jesus for His death on the Cross because without it none of this would have been possible for us. By his stripes we are healed!

Rejoicing after her healing!

·       Divine appointments at the hospital two men come to the crusade one on the first night. He asked the Lord could these guys come to the hospital for my mother.  He did not believe it would happen. Both men came to the crusade and asked the same thing not believing it would happen. We knew nothing about it until after we prayed for the six women in this hospital room.  

·       28 salvation's at the hospital

·       Little girl born with a deformed leg and ankle made straight and walked for the first time without a limp (3 years old)

·       Yesterday a lady received her sight and today she prays for another woman who received a back healing and leg lengthening of about 2 inches. The doctors told her she would need surgery to repair her damaged back; she refused to have the doctors do surgery. She waited for her healing from the Lord for 20 years.

 Holy Spirit Baptism

·       70 people came up to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit

·       25 people came up after to receive a greater infilling for more power.

·       We had 30 people come up and claim back injury’s All 30 were healed.

·       Included in the thirty were some knee healings.

Completely Healed and Pain Free!

·        A teen boy fell off a three story roof,broke his leg and had a steel rod put in his leg this year. He walked with a limp and pain. Today, he received healing. No Limp and no Pain. Then he turns right around and prays for a leg to grow out for someone else and it did!

·       A man with shoulder injury with very limited rotation, which affected his whole right side, including a short leg of 1.5 inches. Pain completely removed, full arm rotation.

·       Lady with Neck pain waiting her turn to receive prayer when she felt fire hit her neck area and went down her body healing her. No one touched her or prayed for her, The Holy Spirit just touched her with fire.

·       One man and one woman sitting in line to be prayed for were healed by the time we got to them with no one praying and no one touching them.

·       Our team of ten were released to pray for about 90 people with various needs.

When we finished praying for everyone today a time of rejoicing, picture taking and sadness as we realized the week had come to an end and it was time to say goodbye, no one wanted to part. A touching story sense only a few days ago we were strangers. Nothing like the blood of Jesus to cover us and make us whole, united and intent on one purpose to honor and glorify Him. A youth night to tomorrow and more blessings from above; a Father who knows how to give good gifts.

Miracles Abound

Miracles Abound

Paula and Kim Praying

Today was reminiscent of the healing revivals of 1800’s, full of Holy Spirit baptisms, healings and deliverance's. Churches from different denominations came and were blessed and blessed. Jesus said, “Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also and greater works than these he will do, because I go to the Father” John 14:12

Today many had divine appointments with Jesus. My heart is over whelmed with joy because the presence of the Lord was so strong and our brothers and sisters in Christ were being touched in a way they have never before experienced.  Our team has felt His Presence all week long and today much was accomplished for the kingdom.

Today was about faith, love and the resurrection power of Jesus in the hands of His modern day disciples. Bruce Van Natta prayed for the first person with a back injury and that person prayed for the next person in line and this went on for two hours. Each person received a healing prayer then stepped out in faith to demonstrate the power of Jesus for the next need. It was beautiful as the body of Christ walked in the power and faith of Jesus. Each saint has this call to walk in power and faith. This is not just for a few it is for the body. A-men

Bruce Van Natta Praying

I will begin with telling you about a man who attended the Crusade on the first night. His mother was in the local hospital and wished God could bring the speakers   to the hospital to pray for his mother. But he did not believe it would happen. Today at the end of the conference, we loaded into the van to go pray for people at the hospital. We had no idea he had prayed that prayer. Actually two men asked or wished the same thing and their moms were in the same room. Bruce gave his testimony then he gave an alter call and 5 people in that room were saved. PTL! We walked into all the rooms of the hospital and a total of 28 souls were brought into the kingdom today. We visited for 2 hours. His hands and feet are at work.

This is only one story, in the next post I will list a few more but realize there are too many to write about but they are all significant in the eyes of Jesus. He loves each of us right where we are.  

What if we had not come?

Tomorrow night youth Night with Bruce Van Natta and Bruce Carlson

United Front

Heart to Heart Church

Impact! Impact! We are seeing with our hearts eyes the move of the Holy Spirit in uniting the gringo’s lives with the lives our Honduran family. But even greater is the unity forming among the neighboring churches. Our hosts are extremely warm in receiving us as guests. We are greeted with hugs, smiles and kisses. Our Honduran brothers genuinely welcome us and eagerly desire to share in what we are bringing. Today, in the men’s portion of the conference, a unique bond was formed as each man embraced one another in brotherly love. God’s love reaches through any barriers.

Bruce Carlson

In response to Monday and Tuesday’s teaching more people came to hear Bruce and Bruce. We have doubled in size since Monday. They are truly hungry for more of the Word of God as we are. The portion of the today’s teaching covered the anointing of the Holy Spirit.  They learned that we are modern day disciples and it has been demonstrated by the power of God. Each day there have been miracles. A women with partial sight received full sight. She gave her testimony with tears of joy running down her face. I believe this group of men and women are encouraged and being knit together in love and the power of His Word. Praise Him.

JoAnn talking about Spiritual Gifts

Paula speaking on Ester

The women's time together was spent reviewing the character of Ester and her submission to authority. Many of the women returned with a completed spiritual gifting questioner. They began, many of them to visit the idea of each having a gift to offer for service in the church. The women are compiling prayer requests, and needs from each other to hold before the Father in prayer. Excitement is running through each of the women. I heard today that this is the first conference where churches have come together to be taught. This country is desperate and this condition has brought out the need for such a conference. Praise Him.

We are experiencing such remarks as: we don’t want it to end, I have experienced victory being here, the time has gone by very fast because it has been wonderful, and I never thought I would hear God speak, but this week I have. We have an amazing God and He so loves each one of us. The richness of this week will be forever embedded in my heart and mind.

If you have never experienced a missions trip, and the love of God with another nation you are missing out. The blessings are so great it’s hard to even begin to number them. So step out, get your passport, get into your prayer closet and ask the Lord, “Where do you want to send me? I will go."

Tomorrow ends the conference and we expect great things. Although this protion of the chapter ends, more are yet to be written. Want to be a part of a chapter?

Faithful

Press in for being free from any entanglements.
Press in for His anointing to fall on our brothers and sisters here.
Blessings and thanks to all of you for your prayers.

Looks like Friday with the kids from the Village and swimming. a great way to end a beautiful week with children the Lord has put into our care. God Bless you Warriors.

The Penny

What value can a bent, scarred, discolored, abandoned penny have? We see them in the road, in the gutter, thrown on the dresser, found in the pocket of our jeans or stacked in a jar. A sister, JoAnn by name, shared a story of life and how many of the scars we carry around are just like the penny. Bruised and spent we crawl into our shell to hide and weather out each day, only to realize we have another day to face tomorrow. We think no one has walked in our shoes and no one would understand. The difficulties of life have left a mark. While the penny is bent, scarred and discolored it still has the same value. 

You ask why are we discussing a penny; it illustrates where many people are coming from and where we need to meet them on the road of life. Some of us are these people, others are the people we meet on the way. We need to see them as God sees them. Our conference now is teaching leaders of the local churches how to walk as Jesus did, see how Jesus saw, speak how Jesus spoke and touch as Jesus touched. This love is powerful.

Studying the book of Ester

Jesus said, Are you not of more value than they? Speaking about the birds of the air. He will provide. I do not say that with little thought. We must press in and keep pressing into Jesus. He will meet us in our place of need. We are here to meet this people in their place of need. Many are bent, scared and discolored from life, but this week they are being filled and loving it.

Today as JoAnn shared this story women here in Honduras were extremely touched. She closed this testimony with a portion of her life story and a reminder that those who relate to this story have value. Read Jermiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you to give you hope.....

If you see a penny on the ground and relate to any portion of this story pick it up.

Handholder or Wave Jumper

Today we were greeted by sunshine and warmth, unlike what we have been waking up to the last three days. The tension in the air and coolness is not there. Praise Him!

I sit here reflecting on the past three days of how peoples lives have been radically changed but so has mine. You can't witness the joy in a face that is no longer in pain or has personally been touched by the Almighty and stay the same. Walking in this joy is simply fun. I want more of Him, don't you? We watched as our faith was catapulted into deeper realms of Him. He has so much more for us I can hardly wait to see what He has next. I know I will be holding daddy's hand and jumping in with both feet.

Bruce told a story of a little boy and his father going to the beach to play in the water. The boy was a little fearful of going into the water so he walked in just a ways. As a wave approached his daddy held his hand and lifts the child up and over the wave. The boy says "Daddy I am a wave jumper." But is he really a wave jumper or is he a hand holder?

You see how many times do we think we are accomplishing the task when it is the Holy Spirit is helping us jump over the obstacles in our way. We are holding onto the Holy Spirit in all we do.

Warriors you are our wave jumpers praying us through the battle. We are holding onto your hands as we jump the waves here in Honduras. What waves are you trying to jump?

We start tomorrow at 9am. Blessings

Faithful

Sometimes we are the wave jumper and sometimes

we are the handholder.

Faith To Stand

Do you have the Faith to Stand, despite your obstacles?

Our God does not disappoint. Today we took our message into the heart of darkness to bring light. Six of us went directly to the Puerto Cortez jail. Bruce V. shared his testimony with the inmantes and Bruce C. brought it home. Bruce C. was so in his element that 9 people came forward to give their life to Christ. Many others were prayed for and wept. Peace loomed in us and light emitted from us. We are the light, we bring good news to those who are perishing.

Tonight was no different as we assumed the circle of unity and prayer just outside the stadium. I did not realize that I would be touched in such a significant way.

Let's begin with worship, it is the atmospheric starter for our hearts. As worhip rose all over the stadium, I found my seat and took out my camera to see what was in the atmosphere above us. Warriors all over have prayed for this country and these people; I wanted to see who might be here. As I began to take pictures I saw them, what exactly they are, signs that make you wonder. I believe they are nick named orbst. I think they must be angels. They were literally everywhere as you will notice them in many pictures. The worshippers continued to fill the stadium and song fill the air.

One local Pastor prayed a riveting prayer for deliverence for their city and country; he proclaimed a message to God that they wanted to not be known for the violence but to be know for a nation that is lead by the heart of Jesus. He spoke specifically to the mayor who sat among us and the chief of police. We can not continue without the leadership of Jesus. We must stop the bloodshed and be covered in the blood of Jesus.

Pastor Serrano shared that all of us have been affected by the blood shed and volence in this city; he shared that his family had to be removed from their home for the protection of his girls. He shared that he is not afraid because he knows the presence of God and His angels are all around. He invited the mayor to the platform along with the chief of police. Bruce and Bruce prayed over them, it was touching to say the least. Pray for these men, for their salvation and their leadership. These cities need the light and these men need faith to stand.

Tonight, the mayor thanked Heart to Heart Ministries publically for touching lives of its people. Little did he realize what was going to take place as 15 more people stepped forward to give there lives to Christ. In the last three days 49 people have taken this stand, praise God for this! After our Bruce's spoke, people were asked if they would stand with Jesus to take back their city and nation. An overwhelming number took to their feet. Praise God!

BruceV. prayed for healing for the people in the stadium and multitudes of people claimed healings. As I said God does not diappoint. An elderly women has had pain in her neck for 1 year with abdominal pain and depression. She receive complete healing and the spirit of joy came upon her. We had two deliverences tonight and two jublient women. Set the captives free and we did. There were so many healed tonight it was impossible to get much of it down but two stuck out to me. A lady who had neck surgery had a paralized muscle in her neck as a result. She develped a lump in her throat making her unable to eat for a year. She could only drink fluids. The doctors gave her no hope. She was depressed to say the least. Tonight, the power of the Lord came on her, down she went on the ground. When she got back up she was completley healed and joy inexpressible raced across her face. Then there was a young man about 12 years old who has never stood on his own feet or walked. Tonight he had Faith to Stand and then proceeded to walk around the stadium with light assistance. God did so many miracles it was inspiring.

Warriors we begin the Pastors conference on Monday 9-3 for four days. COntinue to pray :

• Pastors would receive tools to continue the fight
• Pastor's encouragement
• help to answer their concerns
• Pastor's support system
• unity
• wisdom as our teachers teach
• details for set up

Thank you for your faithfulprayers the stadium was filled with electricity each night. The fight continues.

Faith To Stand!

Stadium Fills to Standing room only!

So with a bounce in my step I headed toward the stadium. I stepped inside and joy floods my body. My hands are tingling as I drip with excitement. Our team headed towards the out of bounds area near first base and there we huddled, arms draped over each others shoulder. We took authority for our King and gave Him praise for the atmosphere that was present; we were simply lit up with expectation. I could hardly hold still I wanted to bathe the field in prayer. We launched out to take ground in the name of our King; we knew we had the upper hand because our answered prayers unfolded before our eyes. The sky had a light covering of clouds and knew a battle still was engaged above, but a confidence was upon all of us as we proceeded to attend our duties. We prayer walked the area, touching as many chairs as we could displacing any darkness. People had already begun arriving 30 minutes early.

The infield was now covered with 500 chairs instead of 350 last night. I sat behind the third baseline, my hands feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit from the moment I got close to the stadium. In a way, I felt like I was reading a chapter from Roberts Liarden's book," Gods Generals". An outdoor tent meeting, I am part of it and I was excited. Worship music played while we covered the field; then I found my seat with my friends Gary, Ashley and Maria Elena.

As I sat I pulled out my camera and started clicking off shots when I noticed the orbsts again tonight in my pictures. Many of our pictures from last night had the signs that make you wonder, but tonight God has something extra special for His kids. I saw an angel in the sky moving his wings back and forth. This is the first time I have seen an angel and another huge smile spread across my face I could not contain it. I showed it to Ashley and she said yep I see it. God knows how to encourage His children, thank you Father.

Bruce Carlson spoke first tonight and had an alter call early. Ten people came forward to dedicate their lives to Jesus. PTL! Then Bruce Van Natta spoke on the Five stones of David. Powerful tools to have in our arsenal against the schemes of the devil. These stones are powerful in the hands of God's children. These stones are the gift of Faith, the gift of the Word, the gift of Praise, the gift of Prayer and the gift of Authority. As Bruce wrapped up his spoken word he once again gave an alter call and 20 more people gave their lives to Jesus. Again Praise Him! As was spoken to us in the Word we do not come in persuasive speech but in demonstration of His power. A group healing prayer was spoken to which many came forward to confess the healing Jesus just gave them. Here are a few of those shared: breast tumor healed, one blind eye opened, a week long head ache gone, having lived in fear she now received peace, another living in stress receiving peace, pain in a diabetics legs gone, living for 12 years with female issues and pain gone, 2 stomach aches gone, and one with kidney pain gone. There is nothing to small that God does not care to heal. Lives were saved from hell and many were touched by the Saviors hand. I would call that a good day.

So what will the Savior have for His children tomorrow? Come see.... I love Daddy's treasure hunts they are never boring and always filled with adventure.

So Warriors we have much to cover as the battle rages. Again be blessed for your intercession.
Areas of needed cover:

• Lots of distractions with people talking in the back-nosie level disturbinly high-we declared no large volumes of distracting noise and no vendor bells
• Praise!- brand new and top of the line sound system it worked great. Protection of the equipment as it is guarded over night.
• Praise! first night 750 came and tonight 1100 showed
• Praise! increased salvations, increased healings and a few deliverences
• More salvations, healings, and deliverences so more people needed to come.
• Senitivity to the move of the Holy Spirit
• Continued with no rain, no sound or elecrical problems
• The Kabod glory to fall in greater measure than even tonight
• His will to be done!

Third Base Line with Orbst in the atmosphere

What happened tonight?

Our crusade event dripped with His presence as we prayer walked the grounds. You could feel Him in the atmosphere. As I looked up into the sky I knew a battle was raging but I knew the outcome because we were interceding with out any doubts. As hundreds of people walked in and sat down in great anticipation the threat above began to drip upon the faithful. They rushed to the covered area and the elect prayed. Within 5 minutes the slight disturbance subsided. As I stood in worship I gazed up into the heavens and saw a ring of clouds expose the moon with stars twinkling above. A smile spread across my face as I thanked the King of Kings.

Bruce VanNatta shared his story of death and resurection then told the people that God still does miracles today. He testified of raising a paraplegic Prostitute, blind eyes opening and all in Honduras during his visits. He introduced the man whom God choose to deliver the healing prayer that added feet to Bruce's intestines allowing him to sustain his life. These men travel the world bringing the heart of the Father to the Nations. As Bruce Carlson began to give the alter call one whole side of the stadium and sound equipment failed. Bruce and Oscar, our interpreter, attemped to finish but only few could hear their words. The enemy took out a hole half a block to stop us. But it only hinder us for a short time. We called people forward and baptised them with the Holy Spirit and then Bruce Van Natta held a group prayer for the ones needs a healing touch from our master. In God style about 30 people were healed tonight. A woman with a leg ulcer, the ulcer just fell off, a man with back pain gone, and little girls with elbow pain gone and much more.

 What does the Lord have in store for us next? Visit tomorrow and I will post again.

Crusade Prayer requests:
No power outages
No microphone issues
No Rain
More time with people to pray
Rest and Strength for all people speaking
Pray for Omoa, Puerto Cortez and surounding ciites for an outright revivial to begin and sustain
Healing for these cities, protection for their people and justice in the land
Glory brought to the Lord!
