Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
I not only minster on this blog.
I also minister through the vehicle of email.
When the Internet first started out publicly I came online in the 90's like most of you here did.
Realizing that Paul the Apostle had to sometimes travel for months enduring much hardship before he could reach his destination to minister to others.
But here was something new called the Internet.
A vehicle through which I could reach others instantly as it were with out any hardships of travel or time spent.
I have been doing that diligently as best as I can ever since.
You who come to this blog don't usually get to see the email portion of my ministry unless your a recipient of my emails.
Today I feel led to roll back the curtain a bit and show you just one of the many threads behind the scenes of what i do here on the net.
You have seen the eclectic mix of ministry and other interesting things I present here on my blog. =
I have no restrictions, with in reason, being as this is a "hobby" blog as it were.
But I also am led to minister to the ministers through the vehicle of email.
I am not afraid to step out in faith to bless and encourage those among us who have dedicated themselves to serving the Lord with their lives.
As the Lord leads I encourage those who are out on the battlefield front lines for the souls of others, spreading the gospel message around the world.
The Lord has had me be a minister to ministers in an amazing way inspite of myself.
I go to the well of Jesus Christ by faith and pull up a Word from the Lord by faith through my prophetic ministry in Him.
He blows my mind with the fruit and the responses from this email ministry.
I have always thought that every Christian who has access to the Internet should have an email ministry as well as a blog presense.
No excuses!
Here below is just one of the many incredible blessings I have had the privilege of seeing because of the blessing of the Internet...
The first section is from Bryan, Mercedes, and Patrick Marleaux, missionary's to the world at large.
Here is the meeting one night where I was present and recorded their calling into active ministry to the world at large by Lonnie Frisbee.
They walk in the Holy Spirit.
Going where He indicates on a very small budget, trusting the Lord to provide as they go along moment by moment, step by step.
They are a place where the Lord's money is well spent, not on large homes or jets or fancy cars with a rich man's life style like some others we all know about.
This family actually uses each and every dollar entrusted to their care for the ministry of the spreading of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you are looking for a place where your "Jesus dollars" are not being used for personal gain or foolish building of mega churches and other such nonsense,
Grace World Mission is the place to donate where it will really count for souls saved!

Happy Resurrection Day!
Praise
the Lord!
Jesus rose from the grave victoriously!
He paid for sin on the cross, once for all, where He took upon Himself that cruel punishment man had warranted—the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. Having reconciled wrath and mercy, He made available salvation: “That whosoever would believe upon Him would not perish but have everlasting life.” “The work of God is this: To believe on the one He has sent!”
Such a glorious thing when we realize all that Christ has done for us, and especially as we understand that we were without hope without Him. (Scriptures used: Heb. 10:10, Rom. 6:23, John 3:16 & 6:29)
As the Reformer Martin Luther put it in 1518: All good things are hidden in the cross…for in Jesus Christ and Him crucified is righteousness attributed to us who believe… as well as…joy, hope, glory, strength!
He died that we might be forgiven and rose that we might have eternal life!

Update
It
was a real blessing to receive an e-mail from a Spanish-speaking man in
Italy recently who told us that our radio programs are the only thing
sustaining His walk with God since he has no church in his area (doing
them in English and Spanish has helped us reach people we otherwise
wouldn’t have).
He explained that our teaching has really made him comprehend Jesus’ payment for his sins on the cross as well as the Lord’s grace and love to him in a way he never knew before. It is encouraging when we receive testimonies like this.
Your prayers and support make it possible!

The European Mission Fields
Europe
is a place of great spiritual need.
That need often goes overlooked because when Americans go on a trip to Europe they may see big church buildings or cathedrals in many of the cities.
However, what is not seen beyond the churches that are tourist attractions, is that many have been abandoned or are now used for other things.
I remember walking down some non-touristed streets in the UK, and one after the other the old cathedrals had been closed, having been converted to business offices or shopping complexes, and there were those that have even become mosques.

This is just an example of a place once impacted by the
Gospel that needs it again.
In fact, the BBC recently reported that less than 2 % of Brits attend church on Sunday now.
While we may hear of pockets of activity here and there regarding the Lord reaching into people’s lives, the bigger overall picture shows a large mission field in need of being reached once again.
The “Charlie Hebdo” attacks in France should serve as a wake up call that the spiritual vacuum in Europe is being sought to be filled by spiritual darkness of a very dire nature.
Disillusioned with the empty promises of a purely materialistic Western culture that has abandoned its spiritual foundations, many are blindingly turning to something that is just another enslaving impostor.
Jesus said, “This Gospel of the Kingdom must be preached in the whole world…”
It is the Gospel of the Kingdom that must be brought forth in its fullness.
We’ve seen those that are enslaved in spiritual darkness and emptiness get saved by Jesus’ great love and power, right in the thick of it, in some of the darkest places in Europe, as His power touched and filled their lives.
We are preparing to leave on yet another Euro-mission where we will be preaching and ministering right off in some places in the north.
We’ve had a little interim of time since our last venture there; however, we are always just seeking to follow the Lord’s timing and leading, thus not just going of our own accord, but following His leading.
We truly appreciate your prayers and financial support, as traveling there is not anything even close to cheap.
Even just the youth hostels are running up to $80 a night these days in some places.
We stay with people where we can but that is not possible everywhere we go.
Jesus said, go into all the world—Europe is a continent that has been largely overlooked in regards to mission—consequently, it is now in a dire spiritual state. The full Gospel must be brought forth there!

Young girl of about 11 who got filled with the Holy Spirit and was healed.
More On Some of the Things The Lord Has Been Doing Lately
We
just ministered at a service up in Orange and were blessed to see the
Lord moving in an incredible way.
We preached and ministered on the need
to be filled with the Holy Spirit as Paul exhorts in Ephesians,
especially in the light of the warfare we encounter as believers—in
fact, this is one of our weapons—to be filled with and pray in the
Spirit.
Well, the Lord confirmed that message as many were filled with
the Holy Spirit and ministered to powerfully, as well as about three
people who surrendered their hearts to the Lord that day.
It was all highlighted by a little girl about 11 years old who was filled with the Holy Spirit for the first time, amongst a few other kids; she testified afterward before the congregation about what a joy it was to be filled with God’s power and love--she also shared how the Lord had healed her body--hallelujah!

It was a joy to watch the tears steaming
down her face with her hands lifted up in the air, her face lifted to
heaven as God’s love poured down into her, to the point where,
overwhelmed by His presence, she fell to the ground. It is such a divine
moment when the Holy Spirit sovereignly moves on little ones like this,
something we used to be so blessed to see happen at unique times when
our old friend and mentor Lonnie Frisbee would minister, and so stoked
to see it happening in those unique moments when the Holy Spirit just
floods into the place as just happened in this service!
A man with partially blocked hearing also received some healing. I kept getting a word at the end of the service about something wrong with someone’s ear, my ear kept burning and I wasn’t really sure if it was a word or what, so we awkwardly interrupted as the service was just closing to share the word and no one responded.

More awkwardness! Then a
lady walked over to her husband and pulled him up to the front; he had
damaged his ears with a Q-Tip very badly (careful with those) and his
hearing had been all damaged and blocked up for a while.
He just couldn’t hear us was why he wasn’t responding when we shared the word. We prayed for him and he said that he felt the blockage beginning to open up, we prayed some more and it continued to get better.

Speaking of
hearing, our friend Raquel who was at the meeting also, said she had
been praying to hear God’s leading, direction and voice better. As we
prayed over her she was also touched along with others in a dramatically
powerful way!
We also just had a radical outpouring of the Holy Spirit up in the Inland Empire. A few different waves of the Spirit had already come over the meeting with great power, releasing the filling of the Holy Spirit and healing as we ministered and prayed for people!

Then the pastor asked us to pray for some of the youth. The fire of God
came in and just lit up these young people, and some were knocked
powerfully to the ground.
In fact, the pastor’s daughter was so overcome by the presence of God she lay on the ground stuck to the floor even long past the end of the meeting.
While the pastor closed the meeting, his daughter laid stuck to the ground by his feet in front of the congregation, while he joked: “Don’t mind my daughter there, she is just really drunk in the Spirit.”

Everybody laughed and was overjoyed at the
way the Lord had moved. No one minded that the meeting, with all that
had happened as God poured out His presence, had stretched way, way,
way, beyond the normal time of closing.
As we exited, we noticed it was near midnight, quite late for a meeting that started a bit past seven!! The presence of the Lord is so awesome you sometimes just lose track of time!

Praise the Lord! Please prayerfully consider supporting us in our upcoming mission trip to Europe. We always appreciate and are so grateful for all your prayers and support of our ministry.

(my email)
Ya, the Lord wants us to "go deeper" and stay out of the typical soulish attitude of wanting to "be somebody."
What I love about you and your family is that is not even a part of your existence.
The desire to save souls and to equip them in the Holy Spirit is all over you guy, always has been.
You run and you really do it right, you are apostolic evangelist in my world view.
Believe for more souls, it is not enough yet, desire bigger harvest and greater outpouring of His Spirit on your efforts.
It is not what you do, as you already know.
It is not by might nor by power but by His Spirit...
We
press into the Lord in petition for Him to do it while we anticipate
that great outpouring by His Spirit, and not our own efforts.
The biggest Argentine revival started exactly like that.
The
man said to himself, others go to work for 8 hours a day. I will
therefore pray for revival for 8 hours a day, that will be my work.
It was incredible what happened.
He only attracted three people from the village he was staying in.
Over a period of weeks they attended, with only the same three and no one else from the village.
Finally he asked if anyone had an "impression to say or do anything."
A lady said she had been having an impression to pound on the table three times.
She refused to do it because it was ridiculous she said.
This went on for a couple of weeks and the impression remained.
Finally she was convinced to just go ahead and do it.
When
she did it in obedience the Holy Spirit fell on all four people and
they started speaking in tongues overflowing with great Joy and peace.
From
that moment on the village started coming to the meetings and the same
thing happened to them and spread out in waves to surrounding villages.
A very small reluctant beginning until the lady decided to be obedient to the constant impression she was getting.
The net result was the greatest revival Argentine had ever experienced.
I am believing for the mustard seed that you and your family represent.
You are not a great cumbersome evangelical machine like Greg Laurie's harvest, you are simply obedient mustard seeds.
Mustard seeds that are sown by the Master Himself in the breeze of His Holy Spirit on fields that others are not assigned to.
What you have seen and what your heart has broken over is what His heart sees and is broken over.
This is what has compelled you on your missions.
And that is where the great power of the Holy Spirit is for you.
We pray Lord move our hearts by the things that move Your heart.
Break our hearts by the things that break Your heart.
Move on Your Church!
Your Church that has come under attack and pressure.
Restore Your Church!
Use us Lord we pray, we are available to serve.
And indeed you are very available and will represent Him before the people.
May His Holy Spirit move in power before your very eyes.
Hi David,
Really enjoyed the link you sent this morning with the
YouTube video of Lonnie leading worship in Sweden.
Thanks!
It was a big blessing!
Thanks!
It was a big blessing!
One of the first places we ever ministered in Europe was in
Sweden, and in spite of the atmosphere, we have seen God do amazing
things, really pouring out His power and presence.
So
check this out: we were speaking at a church out in San Bernardino, it
is one of the worst gang-infested areas and murder capitals of the whole
country.
It was totally sovereign the timing being out there, as they
just contacted us out of the blue and we go out there and they had this
sign on their marquee announcing our coming to speak which already
surprised us, but then we opened up the little church brochure before
beginning to speak, and there inside the brochure is the following
headline, next to the announcement that we were speaking that morning:
"Never Give Up" it was a totally sovereign confirmation of that email you recently sent, along with the other ways the Lord spoke on that.
"Never Give Up" it was a totally sovereign confirmation of that email you recently sent, along with the other ways the Lord spoke on that.
Reflecting
on what you shared below here, we ourselves were down there during the
Argentine Revival and it was pretty amazing, wild to hear how it
started!!!
Lonnie had prayed over us about missions before he passed away and it was our first mission trip about one year after Lonnie died.
He had said some of the same things you just did like "apostolic evangelist" etc, so it is awesome to see how the Lord keeps confirming it.
In fact, after Lonnie had said that, then after that, another guy I ran into down at the beach one day gave me a similar word and said he felt it would be confirmed by an earthquake the next day - it was and we were both blown away.

We receive them!!

"The Gospel witnesses to itself by signs following. Without healing it is stripped of a powerful element of its self-authentication. Healing is not detachable, a mere bit of gadgetry or an accessory. It is integral to the Gospel. It is the power of God demonstrated. God bless you."
REINHARD BONNKE
Always expect to be backed up by the Holy Spirit as the Apostolic representatives of Jesus Christ.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised...
Speak the Word of the Lord.

I want to give you, my readers, a chance to participate in this email ministry.
I assure you that every penny you give to them will be used wisely and not for personal gain what so ever.
This family is totally dedicated to the ministry that God has called them to.
They are not building a stationary brick and mortar "Mega ~church" with the funds.
They are not living the good life in first class accommodations nor are they living like the one percentiles do.
Secondly by allowing me to be a blessing perhaps to you like I have had the privilege of being to some others through email.
The only difference is we will communicate through the comments section below.
Tell me who you are (Your real name is not necessary if you want privacy) and give me a little back ground if you would like.
Then I will go to the well of Jesus and see if there might be a Word for you through me at this time.
Usually God speaks to you before others confirm to you what it is that He has said to you or is already showing you.
Most likely anything I get from the Lord on your behalf will be Words of confirmation of what you have already heard from the Lord.
Since no one has really commented on this website over the years, check it out, therefore I am not expecting any.
Yes there have been a few, but only a few over all the years that I have been here at this blog.
It will be interesting to see if anyone does.
Blessings in Christ!
En Agape'
David
