Student Revelation
May 09, 2006
Fiji
THE REVELATION
They had a revelation. “They” are the first and second
year students of the Potters House School Of The
Supernatural, the ministry school of The Mission in
Vacaville. We, our pastor, other leaders and the 39
students have come to Fiji for meetings in district
churches, training sessions with the Fijian pastors
and leaders, and several healing Crusade meetings with
this large AG church our church has been in
relationship with since 1998. The students have heard
the stories of the blind seeing, the deaf hearing,
people coming out of wheelchairs, etc. From us and
others. It’s one thing to “hear” about it—to come into
agreement with the concept. It’s like they’ve been
saying “Yes, I believe it, I believe it happened to
you, I just haven’t seen it, it hasn’t happened thru
me.” The revelation was—it DOES happen now thru me!
ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD—AND IN THE HOSPITAL
We arrived on Monday AM and God started showing up
immediately. These are just a few of the many
testimonies we have received. We went to the park next
to the hotel at sunset to worship before going to
dinner, and encountered a team that was practicing
American football. They invited us to come pray for
them, to bless them. I don’t think they knew what was
in store for them. As we surrounded them and blessed
them, I began calling out words of knowledge and
praying over them. At least 10 got healed instantly.
We got to pray over them for the next few days and
heard later that several of them were amazed at the
healing, and they had never seen or experienced the
power of God before.
For the next three days, the students got to stay in
the homes of pastors and leaders who had agreed to
host them. They interacted in the villages, the
churches, and we went on outreaches to the prison and
to the hospital. Can you imagine this—it is a
government hospital, they wanted us to come in, and we
got to pray for everyone in the hospital!!
OUT OF THE WHEELCHAIR, BLIND EYE SEE, HEALINGS AND
PROPHECY
Healings happened immediately as the students prayed
on the streets, in homes, and in the small churches.
One woman had been confined to a wheelchair since
August, came out of it weeping and speaking in
tongues. Jeff prayed for someone in a church meeting
who was blind in one eye. After no more than a minute,
they could see! After some testing to make sure it was
real, Jeff was walking on air. We did a demonstration
of healing with one of the pastors during the training
session Friday morning. He had had knee pain for 10
years because of playing rugby. The look of surprise
on his face said it all, as the pain was gone. The
students prophesied over every pastor and spouse
during two days of training sessions. The pastors were
amazed at the accuracy of the words, the students
loved it as God spoke thru them, and they were able to
impart it to many of the leaders as they challenged
them to prophesy over the students. Spot on, as one
said!
BLIND—DEAF. DIDN’T MATTER TO THE STUDENTS
Kate was another who had the revelation. She got to
pray for a woman with “cloudy eyes” and after prayer
she could see clearly! Kathy B. prayed for a woman
deaf in the right ear. After breaking some
generational curses, it completely opened. When we
gave the words of knowledge in the large church
service Friday night, a wave suddenly swept over the
room, and more than a 100 were healed in an instant.
On Saturday afternoon, Matt, Jef, and Anna F. prayed
for a woman who had no feeling in her feet and
couldn’t walk. After less than a minute of prayer, she
stood up weeping, all the feeling back in her feet and
legs!
THE ENEMY TRIED TO RIP HER OFF
What the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good.
That played out for Ana F. She experienced culture
clash that brought fear and an intense desire to flee.
We got to be spiritual “mom and dad” to her and
ministered to her on the middle day. Something broke
in her, and in her situation. It was better, and Ana
stepped into what God had for her. On Saturday night
she prayed for a young boy of about 10, who couldn’t
hear out of one ear. She heard the Lord say “Just say,
in the name of Jesus, ear drum work!” He could
instantly hear. She didn’t believe it at first and
kept asking him to repeat what she would say to him.
She was beaming as she brought him up to testify. Then
she and some others prayed for a woman deaf in both
ears. We tested her on the platform and she could
repeat everything the pastor was whispering to her.
Then Ana went into a visitation, seeing Jesus and
heaven. It was a special time for her that words
wouldn’t do justice to try to describe.
“KISS HER ON THE EYELIDS”
We’ve got another Ana in the school, and she’s a
firecracker. Since being touched about a year and a
half ago, out of her Baptist roots, she’s been moving
in a strong healing and prophetic anointing. During
the ministry time at one of the smaller churches on
Sunday morning, she was praying for a woman who had
very poor eyesight. As it got gradually a little
better, she heard the Lord say, “Kiss her on the
eyelids.” Wow. Pretty heavy, especially when you’re in
a foreign culture that may not like that. But she was
obedient, asked if she could do that and kissed her
eyelids. When the woman opened her eyes she
immediately exclaimed “I can see” and she read a sign
on the other side of the room—one Ana couldn’t read!
Kinda goes back to the words of Mary, huh? “Just do
whatever He tells you to do.”
YOU’D BE PROUD, TOO
Well, the leaders of the school are walking around
like proud parents—which they really are. We are all
seeing these students blossom and grow right before
our eyes. They’ve endured storms, lightening, rain,
roaches, sometimes less than desirable living
conditions, heat and humidity, long bus rides, strange
foods—but they’ve ministered with enthusiasm, no
complaining, passion, humility, anointing and power.
And they’ve all gotten a “revelation.” The stories of
the bible, the stories we tell of today—it’s all real,
and it’s for them, here on a foreign soil and at home!
The students return home on Thursday. Wednesday the
10th Carol and I leave for New Zealand to start
meetings at Fusion Church in Auckland, and then
Saturday and Sunday at Palmerston North Christian
Fellowship in Palmerston North. We are excited about
these upcoming meetings, and will report on them
afterwards. Blessings.

“The Lightenings Of God”
May 01, 2006
Vacaville, CA
“WOO-WOO.” A THEOLOGICAL TERM
I want to be a “woo-woo” person. Maybe I’m already
turning into one. “Woo-woo” is a theological term for
“those who are way out there, strange, odd, mystical.”
They’re the ones who come up to you and tell you about
the angels they saw in the meeting, the ones who are
so prophetic they find meaning in everything. They are
the ones who hear God say to drive the bridges of a
community and pray against attack. My left brained
logic says “There’s no attack against the bridges”,
but I know they’d just go “See, our prayers are
working, what if I didn’t pray!” But I confess, I do
want desperately to see angels, I do believe God
speaks to His people, I do believe he calls us to go
outside of our comfort zones—especially if we want to
see miracles. And I do want to see the power of God
for signs, wonders and miracles.
“THE LIGHTENINGS OF GOD”
I heard this story recently on a cd. A man from the US
went to Liberia to hold a crusade. He had the
privilege of meeting the interim Vice-President of the
country, who told him “I think God has forsaken our
country.” It had been in civil war for about 14
years, and it was devastated. As the man was doing the
crusade meeting that evening, a motorcade pulled up
and it was the Vice-President. He came to the platform
and told the man he had come to see a demonstration of
the power of his God. No pressure there. For the next
ten minutes the man gave it everything he had, he
preached the bible of signs and wonders. After he had
preached all he knew, he remembered he had heard of a
speaker calling down the “lightenings of God” once in
a meeting so he finished with that and then waited.
After about five minutes one of the local pastors came
to him and asked what he was doing. When he explained,
the pastor said he should do something but the man
said he would continue to wait. A sudden wind blew
thru the stadium and after a couple of minutes, they
all heard a voice in the crowd saying “I can see.”
Then another voice saying the same thing. They sent
some pastors to check out what was happening and when
they reported back they said “It seems like all the
blind can see and the deaf can hear.” Then the Lord
spoke to him and told him to bring a man up to the
platform who had a withered arm, but don’t touch him.
It grew out in front of everyone! The lightenings of
heaven had fallen. One of the soldiers guarding the
Vice-President leaned over to him and said “The
American’s God—He is God!” The Vice-President
addressed the crowd and said that now maybe the birds
can sing again and the children can play. It was an
event that changed the hope of a nation. Shortly after
that, the first woman to be president of an African
nation was elected—a Spirit-filled woman!!
AN ANGEL CALLED BREAKTHROUGH
Many of you are probably familiar with a posting
recently on The Elijah List from Paul Keith Davis
regarding a vision that Bob Jones had. In this
account, he was visited by the angel who has been
assigned to the US called “breakthrough.” On Sunday,
April 23rd, we were in the LA area finishing a weekend
meeting to teach on Sozo ministry. Since it was right
in the middle of many celebrations of the 100th
anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival, I gave a
message on the Prophetic History of This Present
Revival. I pointed out all the prophetic signs and
revelations that had preceded the Toronto outbreak,
and especially Bob Jones’ involvement. The point
being, if God was speaking thru His people then and it
came to pass (and it did), then shouldn’t we be paying
attention to what He’s saying now. Well, after getting
excited about the “ligthtenings of God” story and
about hearing about an angel called “breakthrough” who
will bring a breakthrough that comes thru healing, I
had just enough “woo-woo” in me to go for it in
ministry time with a somewhat reserved Philippine
congregation who were mostly new into this present
move of the Holy Spirit. As the people came forward
for ministry, I called down the “lightenings of God”
and for there to be “breakthrough.” TWENTY-FIVE people
were healed instantly. One woman got up and walked for
the first time in years without her cane after only a
moment of prayer. Now, I’m not so vain to think that
the angel called “breakthrough” showed up in our
meeting, but maybe, just maybe we did have
breakthrough!
I’M ENCOURAGED—LET’S BELIEVE FOR BREAKTHROUGH
Here’s the encouragement. I believe God is really up
to something. Some examples: Several weeks ago in
Texas I prayed and prophesied over a young woman about
the flashes of rays coming from her hands ( Hab
3:4)—she emailed later and said when she prayed for
people now, many times they “feel” electricity coming
from her and they’re healed; this meeting where God
just broke in suddenly with terrific power; several of
the students in our church’s School Of the
Supernatural praying last night in a Fijian village
for a woman paralyzed since August. She got out of her
wheelchair, weeping and speaking in tongues! I love
it. WOO-WOO.
By the time you are reading this, we will be in the
middle of our training and equipping in a large AG
church in Fiji, holding four Healing Crusade type
meetings with our pastors and the 39 students from the
Potters House School Of The Supernatural at our church
in Vacaville. On the 10th-12th, we will be doing
meetings with Fusion Church in Auckland, New Zealand,
and on the 13th, 14th we will be at Palmerston North
Christian Fellowship.
