Dear Intercessors,

I am so glad for the alignment that the Lord has given with each one of you. I am also thankful for these more frequent updates. I feel our connections are getting stronger and stronger; I know the level of prayer and intercession has greatly increased and that we are moving in a divine momentum. Below are some insights/updates the Lord impressed upon me, and I trust they will help you as you pray.

Focusing On The Lord in Every Circumstance Releases Faith And Victory

“I foresaw the Lord always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.” Acts 2:25 (NKJV). Because David could “see” the Lord, even in difficult situations, he wasn’t moved. God wants us to see Him in all things. The result is faith and victory. Because Peter lived this way, even his shadow caused people to be healed. On the other hand, if we do not “look at/see” the Lord, we not only get easily shaken, but release fear and doubt. Instead of us carrying “faith and victory” with us to positively affect others, we carry fear and pessimism which only enhances the work of the devil. So, the key? Look for, and see the Lord in each and every circumstance.

Watch And See That The Lord Has Overthrown Plans Of The Enemy Against You

While Teddy and I were on the airplane, returning from Canada, I read the book of Esther. It was during the 3rd month (Sivan) that Haman and his evil plans were exposed and dealt with. In addition, Esther was given all Haman’s property. (See Esther 7-8). We have just finished Pentecost and the month of Sivan. I strongly feel in my spirit that for many of you there has been an overthrowing of the devil’s plans against you, and that you have come into a time of increase.

CI Korea - Conference with Bishop Hamon and Larry Bizette (June 29-July 2) - This will be our 4th annual summer conference in Korea. I feel God is giving us momentum in this nation. Nora Park, who coordinates CI Korea, has again done an excellent job of preparation. Our theme is “Invading the 7 Kingdoms of Society.” Of course we emphasize the prophetic and apostolic to do this. Interestingly, at the same time, and almost next door, another group will be holding meetings opposing the idea that apostles and prophets are for today. No, we are not worried, and what I shared in number points one and two above is very helpful for this problem. Years ago, Apostle Mary Crum prophesied to us that of all the nations of Asia, the “pull-back to the old” was strongest in Korea. That surprised me, but over the years I have seen just how true it is. Please stand with us for great breakthrough! We will keep our eyes on the Lord and believe that this is time of overthrow of the enemy and advance of kingdom of God. After Korea, Bishop and I fly to Indonesia. Larry Bizette flies to Japan for ministry on Saturday, July 4th at our Tokyo church, and July 5th in Sano.

CI Japan - CP Wagner and Che Ahn conference dates have been changed. We had been announcing these dates for mid-October and then discovered the gentlemen in question could only be here Oct 9-10. Naturally, this has caused a considerable amount of upheaval. We have to re-advertise dates as well as book a different auditorium (in Tokyo). However, we continue to “see” the Lord in this and are not shaken. This “mishap” assures me the devil really does not want these meetings to happen. I believe God will use these meetings to greatly help revival for Japan.

CI Malaysia - In early June we held a city-wide conference in Sibu with Rich Marshall. It was well-attended with participants from 46 churches. I know it impacted the city. Our apostolic leader there, Apostle Hii, asks for prayer. A great deal of believers from many churches want prophetic training. As these believers try to move ahead in the apostolic-prophetic, their old churches accuse them of rebellion and worse. Please pray for the Lord to continue to shake the city and come against the religious spirit. Pray that believers would allow the Holy Spirit to lead them into the alignments He has for them.

Indonesia - I will be with Bishop in Surabaya Sunday, July 5. From July 7-12, I will be doing “Prophetic Training for Business People.” Our middle son, Andrew, will be joining me to assist in the training.

House Churches - I know that I need to write a book explaining house churches and apostolic training centers. God wants strong apostolic training centers out of which many house churches can be planted. I feel this will be a much quicker, more effective way of church planting for evangelism and transformation than the models that have been used until now. Please pray for me. I would love to have this done by the end of summer.
