The Pouring out of God`s Spirit

"In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants - men and women alike - and they will prophecy." Acts 2:18

Dear Friends,

This verse is right in the middle of an incredible passage that Peter shouts out following the Day of Pentecost. He was quoting what was spoken by the prophet Joel.

In a time of prayer Mark and I (Michelle) where having, I felt the Lord tell me to look up this verse (Acts 2:18). I was surprised when I saw this so clearly. Jesus is saying He will pour out His Spirit on His servants and they shall prophecy!

It did not seem like we were getting anywhere in our time of prayer. In fact, it seemed as if our appeals to the Lord we were making was just falling flat. Hard to explain. But then, in that moment, the direction came, from the Lord, to "PROPHECY".

Perhaps we have forgotten the awesome tool we have been given from the Lord to actually bring His Kingdom to us, our families, our businesses, ministries, schools, nations, etc., God wants us to prophecy and declare the Word of the Lord! By doing this, it is as if we speaking the mind of Christ over our situations.

Rather than continuing to make an appeal in prayer, receive the pouring out of the Spirit & PROPHECY! As I did, there was something that rose up inside of me & I began to speak out the truth of what I knew God was saying to our situation. By speaking it out verbally, it does something to silence the voice of satan; the accuser.

Doubt and fear that was against us began to give way to faith in Him. Let that faith nurture and grow. The creative power of God is released when we prophecy. God spoke and it was established. Use your voice and declare the Kingdom of God over each area of concern in your life! It is powerful!

CHRISTIAN INTERNATIONAL (October 22 - 25)

Michelle and Marcia will be heading to Christian International Ministries for their annual gathering of Apostles and Prophets. I know this time will prove to be very special. We covet your prayers as we go. Also, we ask for prayer for the rest staying behind.

Your giving makes this possible!

We believe God and are sure this time will be a great opportunity to connect, refresh, and stir up the gifts in us...

BELIEVING GOD FOR.........

• Sponsorship for Jacob`s Trainee program at Ballet Magnificat! The trainee program at Ballet Magnificat is much like a Bible school. It runs from September to May. Jacob is believing for $1800 to pay for this nine month school year. Tuition is $145 per month. And, if you include some supplies, the monthly payment will come to about $200. If you would like to give toward this opportunity for Jacob, just designate on a small piece of paper that your gift goes to Jacob, and we will be sure he gets it. Thanks.
• Japan - 2015! After being out of Japan for nearly five years, we feel God is leading us to make a short-term visit. We look forward to getting caught up on any unfinished business concerning our cabin at the missionary retreat area where we will reside near Sendai, Japan. We also look forward to visiting with as many of the believers we have connected with through the years as we have worked in church planting and outreach. Finally, if possible, I look forward to seeing any new friends I have met through Japanese translating at the plant located here in Mississippi. 

It will take an earnest effort on all of our part to make this trip a reality. Please pray for us as we seek to do His will in all things. We look to give further details as they come available in the days ahead. If you would like to give toward this trip, please designate on a piece of paper "Japan- 2015" and we will be sure to put in a special account for this purpose. Our giving information is given below.

Please pray as to your involvement and partnership in these two crucial areas in which we are believing God for in the days ahead! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We love being in partnership with you.
