Hello Everyone!
I hope and pray that all is well with you. I am always so thankful and appreciate your prayers and encouragement as I am in this season of travel and being a help to Dr. Eldon Wilson and his ministry.
Since the last update I sent you up until now, Dr. Wilson and I have been traveling throughout the upper east coast of our nation. Primarily throughout New York state, and also through Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia. It still amazes me of the different expressions in each church we visit and yet how it all bears witness to the very heart of the God we serve and His Word.
Next Monday on the 25th Dr. Wilson and I leave for Europe! We will be flying into Belgium and driving overland into Holland for a few days and then driving into Germany for 3 weeks. I am excited and have a great expectation to see how our Lord will move in the churches there and even beyond!
So far during my travels the Lord primarily has been speaking to my heart about signs and wonders. Not so much about seeing dramatic manifestations of God’s power being operative upon a people by ways of physical healings and such, but about being signs and wonders ourselves within the earth!
Found in Isaiah 38:22 this question began to speak to my heart and it asks “What is the SIGN that I should ALSO go up into the house of the Lord?”. When I consider the miracles Jesus has done while on this earth, the ones recorded in the Bible do not indicate that all who were healed were actually saved. In other words, just because people got healed from Jesus doesn’t mean they came to repentance as being a sinner. So Hezekiah in Is. 38:22 asks… what is the sign? And as I pondered that question I felt like the Lord spoke to me and said in answer to the question… “You are!” Not me individually, but those who are saved and born again are the signs within the earth! Those who bear witness of the Lord Jesus’ divine intervention! Those who are transformed by the Holy Ghost, not just once, but daily as we walk out this walk in Christ! We are called to BE the signs and wonders. Sign meaning a witness and wonder meaning a miracle! A witness of Christ and a living wonder of the Holy Spirit’s transforming work within and even through our life, by virtue of our life style completely transformed! Isaiah 8:18 says, “Behold, I and the CHILDREN (born again child of God) whom the LORD hath given me are for SIGNS and WONDERS in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion”
So I thank you for your prayers and thoughts, they are being answered everyday as the Lord has been providing and guiding in great ways and lengths! So I encourage you, I encourage us! As we do need a move of God in the U.S. and really all over the world, as we also desire to see the power of the Kingdom of heaven to be manifest upon the lives of others! May we continue to go forward in our community being the living signs and wonders of Jesus Christ! Like Hezekiah, there are a people, a lost people who are not search for God, but looking for a reason or a “SIGN”, a life that bears the effects of transformation and deliverance that is only obtainable for one who has been touched by Jesus!
Go out and be the difference Jesus called you to be!
God bless you and you will be hearing from me while Dr. Wilson and I are in Europe. Love you all and God bless you!
