Happy New Year






Happy New Year

Year of Jubilee.
Could 2015 be the year of Jubilee for the United States, or even other countries? The Lord has said through His Prophets, that the “Visitation of the Father” coming soon. John Crowder has also made this statement in one of his book, The Modern Mystic:
I find it interesting that the Lord is already laying a corporate foundation of prophetic teachings in the body today that will thrust the next healing revival to new proportions. Sound teaching will be a must accompany the prophetic. The church was not prepared for [William] Branham's anointing, and so that level of power had to be reserved for another generation. Often when spiritual blessings are corporately withdrawn, because of sin, there is a literally a fifty-year jubilee cycle before debts are canceled and they are released into the earth again. That time is now for the power mantles of the Latter Rain evangelists.”
William Branham died in a head-on collision with a drunk driver on December 18,1965. He knew the Lord would be calling him home soon. His wife was in the car with him and had died from her injuries. His son who was in a different car came to his father aid. Branham, in his dying breath, asked if his wife was okay, but she had just died. He told his son, “just lay my hand on her.” When his son did that her pulse returned and she recovered.
I know the Lord has also said their would be a mighty spiritual move in the Nation of Israel in the year 2017 and 2018. This would be 50 years after the Six Day War, when Israel regained control of all Jerusalem and other parts of their land. Could that be their time for Jubilee?
The ground-works are being laid for a mighty move of God. Last month on one of my walks the Lord told me that we would see many people filled with the Holy Spirit. Not because they were seeking God, but because of prayers from friends, family, intercessors, and even those who were sent by God to those countries. Many of these converts will come out of prostitution, drug addiction, and a lives of abuse and crime. These new believers will grow and bear fruit. Plus there would even be many filled from the birth, just like John the Baptist. The fire of God will burn in their hearts and nothing will be able to quench it. The Heavenly Father is calling all of His lost children who have been feeding in the pig pins of life, to return home where He is waiting with open arms of love, joy, forgiveness and blessings. He will clothes them with new shoes, the best robe and ring. This will definitely be a time for celebration, the likes the world has never seen or known. God has and is sharing similar insight like this to others around the world to encourage us not to give up the fight.
It's time to get ready to party and do business for the Kingdom of God. This will be a Happy New Year for all God's children.

Christmas In Mexico

A nativity scene with Christmas tree next to the new fountain.


The best gift anyone can give to one another is their love and forgiveness.

The best Gift ever given to us was Jesus Christ. He is and will always be the Ultimate Gift to mankind. Receive that gift and let Him change your life forever, by filling your life with His love, His peace and His joy that the world can't give.

For Such a Time as This


At the appointed time Jesus Christ was sent to earth. We are all familiar with the Bible account of Jesus' birth. But did you know you too were also also sent to earth, for such a time as this. It wasn't not an accident nor the plan of your parents, it was designed by God.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who where born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13)

Our spirit were in Him from the beginning, and just like Adam we walked and talked in the cool of the day with Him. Now it is our turn to live out Christ's nature on earth, just as Jesus did 2000 years ago. Our purpose is similar even though we didn't have a virgin birth. God has a divine plan for each and everyone of His sons and daughters to fulfill, even a “defining moment” as God calls it; where history is enhanced or even altered. Whether our mission is big or small or some where in between, our lives are important to God, and a joy to our Heavenly Father. So maybe it a time for a reality check, and ask yourself and then God, Why am I here? And see if you both have the same answer.

We still must be willing to denying our selves, take up our cross and follow His Spirit to the death of our self-life and even to our natural life, just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross at Calvary. Then we too will walk as Jesus walked and talk as He did with resurrection power and life flowing through us, allowing us to rule and reign with Christ Jesus, now and for all eternity.

In the book of Esther we see how she, the bride, was prepared to meet the king and become his wife, so we too are being prepared “for such a time as this.” Once we have accepted the edict of Yahweh's love we have been commissioned to fulfill a role in the Kingdom of God, where one or maybe thousands, even millions of lives are effected; that will bring salvation and restoration to them and for many generations to come. When we realize and understand that we have been birth just as Jesus was, and given His authority, it certainly put things into a whole different perspective on things. Also, a better understanding of what true Sonship is all about.

”O God, may You be exalted over my possessions. Nothing of earth's treasures shall seem dear to me if You are glorified in my life. Be exalted over all my friendships, for I am determined that You shall be above all, though I must stand deserted and alone in the midst of the earth. Be exalted above my comforts. Though it means the loss of bodily comforts and the carrying of heavy crosses...Be exalted over my reputation...above my ambitions, above my likes and dislikes, above my family, my health and even my life itself. Amen” --A.W Tozer

A change is coming and as we step forward into a year by faith. The Heavenly Father is and will be exalted. We will see many signs, wonders and miracles we never expected. Plus, I'm going back to Washington to restore my marriage and family with God's help, after being gone for two and a half years. My desire is to see God's love work through me, even to those I left back home. I believe, my work in Mexico is almost done and it is time to leave. It has been a wonderful experience I will never forget or regret. Making many new friends, including some that I could hardly talk to, and still seeing God's love, grace and faithfulness work through it all. I will miss them dearly and hopefully see many of them in heaven, if not sooner. Next year will be even a greater adventure as we anticipate the “Visitation of the Father.”

Fruitfulness


Last year I saw two large fruit trees in the neighbor back yard, behind my house. One was a tangelo and the other was a grapefruit tree. The neighbors no longer lived there and were trying to sell the empty house. There was a lot of fruit on each tree, and the fruit on the tangelo was ripening and would soon fall to the ground and rot, if no one was going to pick them. The grapefruit would be ripe another month later. After checking with other neighbors to see if it was okay, I regularly, climbed over the fence and picked the fruit, and enjoyed eating a lot for the next few months, plus gave some to other people too.

I never thought I would be still here in this same house a year later, and the trees were full of fruit again, but not as much as the year before, because the water system had been turn off for two weeks last summer, and at other time too and the automatic water system was not able to provide the water needed during those hot days and so some of the branches had died. But there was still a lot of fruit to eat. However, I noticed some tangelos had already fallen off, so I figured some were ready to pick. But when I went over to pick, I noticed a lot of small frying insects around the tree, and a small little hole in some of the ripe tangelos that the bugs were entering the fruit and causing them to rot and fall off to the ground. A week later I went over and there were more insects and damaged fruit. I did not have this problem last year, and was disturbed by this turn of events. I was sure that this was not the only fruit tree in the area with this problem. It was one of the curses, because of mankind’s sin. But what could I do.

I realized I needed to do something, not just complain. If my prayers could turn a hurricane and heal the sick, why not remove this curse. Jesus spoke to a fig tree and cursed it, why shouldn’t we be able to speak to a tree and remove this curse of pestilent, after all they were nail to the cross along with all the other curses and sins. I know there is no diseases and pestilent in the Kingdom of God, so it time to start turning the table around and say NO MORE. So I when out to the tree a couple days later and did just that, but as I was praying I realized that this was just a small thing to God; the most important thing was people, and their lives. All creation came under a curse from Adam's sin. And we are from the earth, and God is the potter of these earthen vessels that now walk it in His amazing grace. Our roots need to tap into that Eternal River that will never run dry so that our leaves can heal the nations. But unfortunately, we have also become very ignorant of the disease and pestilents in our hearts that destroy the fruit He desire to see come from us too. Many people, including Christians still have various amounts of pride, greed, lust, unforgivness, self-worth and are unable to see how they have damaged or destroyed lives. Plus, it also separates or hinders their relationship with God and others. I have asked my Heavenly Father to remove our “hearts of stone” and give us a “heart of flesh”. Then asked Him to remove all the disease and pests in my own heart, and give me a heart like His, so that our life will be BUG FREE in His Kingdom.

By Faith, I do have God’s heart, and that is why I am here and speaking His words across Mexico and the Internet.

Thanks/Giving

Most American celebrated Thanksgiving Day last week, but over the years it has lost much of its meaning and become a just another holiday that jump-start people into a month of self-indulges capped off with two bigger holidays. But this article is not about those holidays. In Mexico they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, and I've learned that finding a turkey in the grocery store is almost impossible until the week before Christmas, for only a week.

Being in Mexico, the Lord has helped me put a whole new perspective on things, and Thanks/giving has become a way of life to me. When I left the United States I left a lot of material things behind that I learned I didn’t need or at least I could live without them. They were not necessary to find true peace and happiness that we all need, nor are they required to fulfill God's will for our life and touch those around us. I have learned to give thanks everyday and be content, but there are still time the enemy tries to disrupt my life and journey with my Heavenly Father. But the enemy can’t succeed, for my life is sealed the blood-covenant of Jesus Christ. And for that I'm very thankful. In fact I’m here to disrupt the enemy’s plans. The best way for me is to declare God's word and heart and stand fast on it. Another way is by giving thanks and loving people and giving food and/or money to those around me. God has a powerful way of multiplying all that into ways beyond human understanding.

One day couple months ago, I had asked God what next six months for me would be like. He indicated that more people would come into my life, that more people would feed me and there would be some other surprises; that all sounded great to me.

It was just about that same time I met Violet, she was coming toward me on one of my morning walks, and she had a big smile on her face and greeted me. She had seen me before and wanted to get to know me, and she could speak English. She was about my age, her parents were from Spain, but she was born in Guaymas, Mexico and was one of triplet girls, the first triplets to be borne by natural birth in that city. Violet lives in San Carlos now, been divorced two years, very friendly and out-going, and has four married sons, and now works at the art gallery for Palir, even though she doesn’t need money. Over the past two months, I have shared Christ’s love for her and Mexico, plus on Tuesdays we watch one of my DVD movies, including faith-based and the Passion. She has invited me to eat dinner every Sunday at her house. She likes to cook and eat healthy food, because she is diabetic. I told her God would heal that problem. I have enjoyed her cooking and having a friend I can talk with. She really likes me, but I let her know, up front, that we can only be friends, nothing more. During this time I have also met one of the sisters, friends and a few family members. They all liked me, know that I'm married and on a mission for God. Some of them have given me food too. Ten days ago her sister, Martha, left for Mexico City for a few months, but before she left, wanted to have me come to her house with Violet for a meal. After the meal, she gave me all the left-overs from the chicken dinner, plus food that was still in her cabinets and refrigerator.
 


A birthday party with Violet's beautiful family (Violet in the center)

Then last Thursday was not only thanksgiving in the U.S., but it was also Violet’s birthday. She invited me to celebrate it with her, friends and all her family at one of her son’s house in a small city, about twenty miles away. I went with Palir and her husband, who were also invited. I had no gift to give and Violet is well-off as far as personal wealth. I asked God what to bring, He said, "just being there will be the best gift you can give." Okay.


We arrived at the house about 7pm and got to meet her son and his family. They continued preparing food in a large kitchen, while we sat in the living room with some other friends who could speak English. There was American music playing; oldies from the 70’s. Other family members arrive a little later with more food and we were introduced to them. All Violet’s sons can speak English, but only three were there that night, and their wives could not speak English, and their children only a little.

Some crab pastries and pecan nuts were past-out along with coke or water to drink, while the table was set and final preparations for dinner were made.

A bad hurricane hit this area of Mexico, a five years ago, and their house was flooded with 3' of water.

When the food came out I could hardly believe what I saw. Each of our big plates was already served with two kinds of shrimps dishes, a large slice of ham with pineapple in a spicy red sauce, along with mash potatoes, a fresh green salad with sprouts, plus a Waldorf salad. One of the daughter-n-laws used to cater to wedding and it showed that night.
 
This was one of the best looking and tasting meals I have ever eaten, and I was served seconds. Plus, there was sushi with different dips and fresh french rolls. And for desert, a three layer cream cheese carrot/fruit cake. I was asked to give the blessing on our meal, and I gratefully did. What a blessing this night was.


Palir's husband, Burt. is sitting to the left of the picture. He did bronze sculptures and is an American.

During the meal, I was asked if I wanted to watch the Seattle Seahawk game, on the big screen TV, while we ate, I said, “No thank you, being with you was better than any football game.” I was stuff and blessed by these beautiful people that God allowed me to be with, and to touch their lives in this special way, God was there too. After our fabulous dinner, Violet was about to open her presents that others had brought. I leaned over and told her I didn’t have a present for her. She said, that my being there the best gift I could give, and all the other stuff wouldn’t mean as much as that. Wow, I would like to believe it's because she know who lives inside me; if not she will be very disappointed, because nothing, including Violet will keep me from fulfilling my mission, which I have already told her.


I will never forget that night. Before we left, I made a point to thank and bless each of them and their children, and to tell them that God has a wonderful future in store for them and all of Mexico.

I am truly thankful for the privilege of serving and giving my life for the children of God, but most of all I’m thankful for the Father's love and most precious Gift, Jesus Christ.


Before the night was over I sat down and played catch with this cute little girl.
She really enjoyed that and so did my Heavenly Father.
