One day they’ve dress me up like an African, and another day they dress me up like an Indian! 🇿🇲❤️🇮🇳 Myhost pastor and his church family have truly given me the royal treatment. I feel like I’ve had Christmas! We praise God for a victorious mission, and trust that the abundant harvest will only continue to multiply in the days to come. They have begged me to return in December to go with them on their own church mission trip into the northern region of Zambia, and I am definitely praying that the Lord will make that possible. If it is His Divine Will, I will be very happy to GO. Meanwhile, I have very important, even urgent mission work to do in my homeland. 🙏🏽❤️🇺🇸 Many, many thanks to all the supporters, sponsors, and partners who have made the mission possible. May God bless you a hundredfold. 🙏🏽❤️🌍

I guess I was “in the Spirit on the Lord’s day!” Because I showed up color coordinated with the choir, and therefore pointed out to them this sign of spiritual unity must surely merit honorary choir membership! Fortunately they agreed! We had a glorious time at Ndola Worship Center! After I had sang, preached, and prayed for so many people, the service dismissed, and Pastor Evans said they were going to take me to his office. They set me in a chair outside under a big shade tree (his office! 😊) and there I stayed, (under the tree but not glued to the chair, ha!) for well over an hour continuing to pray for a long line of precious Zambians. 😍🇿🇲🙏🏽

Where I am here in Zambia today, I cannot get a video of any significant length to upload, so I have to type all of this out. I don’t expect it to be much less than a whole book. —I woke in the dark hours of the morning on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, from a dream that WAR came to America’s soil. Suddenly there was full-on warfare in our cities and streets. I saw people running for cover, running to protect their families. You did not know who you could trust. Children were separated from their parents. Families were waiting for news of the safety and welfare of their relatives. The warfare was outside their doors, in their backyards, while foreign soldiers firing weapons marched up American streets. —Immediately upon waking I went to the Lord. “What would we do in a situation like that?” “The same thing my people have always done. Pray.” “What do you want me to do with this dream?” “Sound the alarm.” —I have wrestled with Him this morning because I do not desire to be this voice. I do not desire this unpleasant and uncomfortable task. I suppose it is better that I type than record a video so that at least my emotion and passion cannot be literally seen. —Dear Friends, STIR YOURSELF. SHAKE OFF THE SLUMBER AND AWAKEN. I’m not saying anything most of you can’t already plainly see when I remind you that enemies of America live in every major city in this nation. America may be much loved by some, but she is intensely hated by others. You yourself know by all appearances, it seems some of America’s worst enemies are well paid by American tax dollars. Do not be deceived into thinking the United States Government, our Law Enforcement Officers or our Military Forces are all you need to save you. The only thing that can save America from her enemies and international warfare on American soil is the mercy of God. The only thing that will secure His mercy is humble fasting and repentance in the Church. People sometimes quote God’s command to the people of Israel in 2 Chronicles 7:14 as a call to Christians to pray for our nation to be saved. They declare, “If my people which are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, I will hear from heaven and I will heal their land!” Why do they always, always leave out the the vitally important phrase, “and turn from their wicked ways?” Why do modern Christians believe their day of salvation exempts them from any further or future repentance, when out of seven messages to the Church world in Revelation 2 and 3, five included the command to repent or else? The mercy of God on our nation is not stalled by unrepentant sinners, unrepentant politicians, movie stars or rock stars, drug dealers, pimps and prostitutes. It is God’s own people who must turn from THEIR wicked ways to see a nation healed and restored. Abraham proved that even S***m and Gomorrah would have been spared had there only been one in one thousand people in right standing with God. Nineveh oozed despicable wickedness and yet their humble repentance through fasting halted a forty day countdown to destruction. If you are one of many Christian Americans who are praying for revival, and I hope you are, you should be aware that Church historians have proven that every great, effective, soul winning, city shaking, nation shaping revival was clearly marked by repentance in the Church itself first. Repentance by Church leaders and elders. Twenty years ago I received the burden to pray for spiritual awakening in America through the ministry of great apostolic leaders like Lou Engle, Karen Wheaton, Damon Thompson, Dutch Sheets and Dr. Billye Brim. Through prayer, I understood the awakening will be an awakening to the Love of God. Love is direct opposition to sin because all of our sin boils down to a lack of Love. While God so graciously has shed His Love abroad in the heart of every born again believer, just as Jesus taught in His parable about the sower, we too often allow that Love in our hearts to be choked out by what is quite simply our own thorny selfishness. Let he who has an ear to hear, hear the clarion call that is going forth now. In the same way, we can see in Daniel 9 that this holy prophet of God understood by the Word of the Lord that it was time for God’s people to go free, to receive restoration and recovery, you might say revival. He heard the clarion call. Have you also a sense in your spirit that it’s time for breakthrough in your life? Your Church? Your community? Your city? This nation? Then why does this modern kind of Christian faith we have not produce the kind of response in us that it produced in the holy prophet Daniel? The Man of God humbled himself and prayed, he earnestly sought the face of God in repentance, as he repeatedly said, “for my sins and the sins of my people.” Had you noticed all of Daniel’s sin in the preceding eight chapters? I couldn’t find any adultery, theft, or lying anywhere in the man’s history, and yet he cried out to God with the humble knowledge and understanding that sin separates us from the perfect plans and purposes of God for our lives, and therefore sin must be confessed humbly before Him, and not even the holy prophet of God is exempt. This is one reason why I do not follow any of these popular prophets in America today. They sensationalize everything they say, spouting drama with glaring neon lights and blaring trumpets as though your life depends solely upon one man’s every utterance, therefore you must in fear and trembling keep alert to their slightest movement in the idolatrous world of social media, lest you come a few seconds late hearing their shiny new prophetic word. All the while it should be very plain to even the slightest discerning Christian that they are full of lust and greed for power, influence, wealth and fame. Any prophet who is telling you to stock your coffers with silver and gold while never admonishing you to repentance and leading you by his own example of repentance is one of those false prophets your New Testament repeatedly warns you of. Any prophet who is advising you to hoard up food and water in your pantry to save your own skin during hard times but is not admonishing you to spend your extra money to feed the poor is likewise a false prophet. They feed on your fear and your own lust for sensationalized drama, and their very existence depends on your likes, shares, follows, and most especially your financial contributions to their ministry. America must repent and now, and it starts not just in the Church, but in the Church leadership. The Church must repent for her laziness, her prayerlessness, and most especially for her lovelessness. Pure, undefiled religion is caring for the widow and the fatherless and hardly any of our churches have one single program for ministry to these. Widows are struggling to even have the basic maintenance issues taken care of on their house and vehicle and the Church does not care. This is one of our greatest embarrassments and an abomination to God. Fatherless children are struggling to get an education and develop in their God given identity and responsibilities and the Church is to blame. A preacher’s daughter will pop a pill to abort her baby because she fears the wrath of those self righteous church members that will be unleashed against her. The baby’s blood is on the hands of the Church. Christians must repent for their hatefulness against one another. I consistently meet Church people and their preachers who immediately begin to test my theology and challenge my doctrine. They haven’t the slightest interest in my love walk. They only want to set me straight on how to interpret their favorite Scripture. Beloved, read Romans 14 and shut up. We must repent for all this arguing and fighting, looking for differences we can magnify, stirring up strife and division in the Body of Christ because we think one individual embodies the cookie-cutter formula for the faith walk. Do I look the way you want me to? Do my clothing choices satisfy you? Are you offended by my recreational activities? I will say it again, Christian, read Romans 14 and shut up. The Church must repent of her Luciferian arrogance. Rife with racism, while the stench of gossip, tale bearing, criticism, insulting, degrading and just plane rudeness permeates her garments. Their neighbors smell them coming and run to hide from the very people who should be wearing the fragrance of Love. Let’s have open repentance from Church folk who continuously damn this nation with their own religiously poisonous tongue. Your cry should be, “God bless America!” “America! America! God shed His Grace on thee!” Instead of your gleeful condemnations that she should be turned into hell. This American Church must repent of her idolatry. 1 Corinthians 3 condemns the earliest stages of denominationalism. People exalting their church, their pastor or prophet above every other. We’ve made idols of ourselves, our churches, our ministries and our leaders. I don’t know what has cost us more than our idolatry. We’ve made gods of ourselves and gods of man, within and without the Church. We’ve looked to a man to save us, to save our nation, and the Bible plainly declares we get the leaders we deserve. If our presidents and governors are rebellious against God, it is only a reflection of what has happened in the Church. As goes the Church, so goes the nation. We want God to keep His covenant with America but covenant is two fold. We must do our part and today that means repent. America was founded by Christians. Get over it. You cannot change our history. God gave them this land to form a godly nation. Our founding fathers covenanted with God for a Christian nation. Get over it. Our historical foundation in Christianity is unarguable. They themselves said our Great Constitution was written for a Christian people. When things went awry among those first colonists, their leaders called for fasting and prayer for repentance. They tried to make an idol of our first president and he refused to allow it. Never a mightier leader have we seen in this nation, and yet he humbly stepped into the shadows, denying their intent to idolize him as a king. Today even the Church panders to leaders who brazenly seek their idolatrous adoration. America has many enemies, namely Russia, China, Iran and other Islamic jihadists, and they have long held their fingers poised on a slippery trigger, waiting for the slightest excuse to launch their missiles against us. Their only access is the breech in our walls made by the sin of an unrepentant American Church. You will please them well by electing more weak, foolish, godless leaders, but your government elections are still not your opportunity for salvation. Your president is not your savior. But if you keep praying like they are, you will get your prayers answered more quickly by praying to man than to God because The Almighty will not be insulted by your idolatry rising to his Throne Room. He has Himself declared that He alone is the One who appoints the leaders of nations. Pray. Fast and pray. But “forgive us our trespasses” was at the very center of Jesus’ teaching on how to pray, so do not dare approach the God of All Mercy without humbling yourself down to the confession of, “my sin and the sin of my people.” Repent Church. America is too young to die. Ezekiel 22:30 tells us when the nation of Israel was facing His judgment, the heart of God was looking for a reason not to punish them. He said, “I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn’t have to destroy the land, but I found no one.” GOD’S HEART IS TO SAVE, TO SPARE, TO HEAL AND RESTORE. But God is just. Justice must be served. I challenge you to fasting and prayer. Turn off all the noise and distraction. Call your friends and family together for prayer meeting in your home. Make the prayer meeting the preeminent assembly in your church. Pray until revival fire engulfs your churches and your homes. WAKE UP AND PRAY. May the American Church walk in all of the Overcomer Blessings promised to the repentant and holy Churches of Revelation. Especially that first Church who was commanded to repent of the very thing we are certainly most guilty of: falling from the height of Love. But He promised the repentant: “I will let you eat from the tree of life!“ instead of this death and destruction our enemies have planned for us. There is hope for America! There is hope for your family! Let us pursue this hope through humble repentance in fasting and prayer. Our repentance will truly be evident when our fellow Americans finally do know we are His disciples because of the Love we have for one another. Amen. Amen.

We’ve been very busy in ministry every day. This was taken a few hours after my plane landed. Owners of a hotel had requested I be brought immediately to conduct Bible study for their staff. Today we had lunch at the hotel and the owner said the staff had asked if I can come back again this week, so I will go Tuesday and Thursday. We’ve had numerous home prayer meetings - I’m so happy to see my host church does that! We even dedicated one house just bought by a couple who’ve moved here from the Congo. We’ve gone from house to house praying for many people and preaching the Gospel also. Today I preached in my host church and afterward they hurried me off to a tent meeting to preach. It’s been a glorious week in Zambia! Please keep us in your prayers as we are continuously active. Thank you!

Once upon a time, long ago, in a land far away, I used to look up at airplanes flying overhead and blot the tears from my eyes as I recalled the words H. Richard Hall spoke over me when I was sixteen years old: “Yes, you will go to Africa! I see you on plane after plane, flying across the ocean to minister to people who are not your color.” Plane after plane…?! I fought back the tears as best as I could, when I hadn’t boarded a plane even a handful of times in twenty years! But my Promise Maker is a Promise Keeper. I’ve walked in nine nations this summer. Jesus is coming soon and He’s making good on all of His promises in grand fashion! 🙏🏽🇿🇦❤️🌍

We’ve taken communion at various times and places in every city we’ve been to on this mission. It’s a covenant meal and I am a covenant child of a covenant God who has given us a covenant word. Psalm 2:8 - “Ask and I will give the nations to you…” 🙏🏽❤️🌍

“Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.” -Philippians 2:14-15

In Estonia we recorded multiple programs for one radio station and three different television stations. One of them is a satellite station that broadcasts even into the Middle East. The format of the programs is sort of “talk show” but the Holy Spirit took hold together with us repeatedly and I believe that same anointing is going to reach into homes across the airwaves also and stir up that spirit of awakening in the hearts of the hearers! 🙏🏽❤️🇪🇪

Even on the fly, (no pun intended) every step of this mission is ASSIGNMENT! We thank God for the opportunity to get our feet on the ground in Finland for a solid prayer walk, declaring, sowing, and taking communion. The spirit of revival and awakening is stirring in the hearts of God’s people in these Baltic States. Our Father in Heaven hears their cry and He is pouring out His Glory! AMEN!

Haha!! John fit us all in our exit photo! 😜 We entered the prison at 9:30 this morning and returned home at 6:00pm. We had four glorious services in there today and the power of God was present in a mighty way! Some of us are battling throat issues and I was sending out 911 prayer requests so God’s people surely have carried us in prayer today! A lovely song bird I was not, LOL, but my voice did last me all four services! HALLELUJAH!! They’re all so precious they only bragged and bragged on how much they appreciated it and thanked us heartily for coming, so of course I cried! Diane had an absolute GOD WORD to share about forgiving YOURSELF (some of you need to work on that too! 🙏🏽❤️) so with her helping do some of the speaking in the services throughout the day, not to mention all the testimonies and assistance from Pastor Diana and the rest of the team, WE GOT IT ALL DONE! A marvelous work was done, lives were changed, countenances lit up, some of those men received something you all know as JOY and when you see a man in prison with NO JOY rejoicing before you leave him, you know the Holy Spirit has been in that place! We had so many persuaded to accept Christ, oh a few stubborn cases took a little extra convincing, LOL, but several came exclaiming before we left each service talking about the power of God that was manifest. I’ve never seen so many big guys, very tall and broad shouldered Lithuanian men in there, and In our last service, just before we left, I told the men I recommend you do not leave without getting one of Diane’s anointed hugs! She will melt you with love! Do you know the biggest man we’d seen in there all day, and frankly a young man who did act resistant to ministry, ran straight to her immediately saying he wanted to be the first in line! OH HOW THESE FIELDS ARE READY FOR HARVEST and the Lord of the Harvest just needs some more mommas to go out there giving free hugs, some sweet little church ladies packing up tea and cookies to go cheer up some hardened criminals, and some people who know how to pray and sing and declare the Good News about Jesus to hop down in a ditch with people so they can es**rt them out and up onto higher ground. Thank you so much for helping us go! 🙏🏽🌎❤️🇱🇹

We hit the ground running in Lithuania and have been going NONSTOP! God has been moving gloriously in our midst. Every day people are testifying about what the Lord is doing and I know there is more to come. Please pray for us as we are going to bed now, it’s midnight here, and need to be up and moving at 6:00 to be ready for three consecutive services in the prison. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY THROAT. I need a real touch from God. Thank you.

We got settled in around 3:00am this morning and were back up at 6:00am preparing for prison ministry today. We had three services in there back to back and finally left the jail close to 5:00pm. The Holy Spirit met us mightily and in each service, far and beyond, the majority of the inmates prayed with us to dedicate their lives to following Christ. One of the directors who stayed in the services with them came to us thanking us profusely and exclaiming that she knew God had her in their on purpose. She said she was covered in goose bumps the whole time and you all know that was actually the power of the Holy Spirit on her. This was an abundantly fruitful day, but I admit, after so little sleep these past three days, and leading worship three times today, preaching three times today, I really need to rest my throat and definitely need a good long sleep before our women’s meeting tomorrow morning. It’s 7:30 PM and I’m going to bed now! Haha!! THANK YOU for continuing to cover us in prayer! 🙏🏽❤️🇱🇹

KINGDOM BUSINESS!! 🙌🏽👑 Prayer walking in Paris today!! 🙏🏽🔥

I’m looking forward to CELEBRATING JESUS with my dear friends in Tazewell this weekend! Please join us if you can, invite somebody, share this announcement, help spread the word and let’s come together for a HOLY GHOST MEETING! Glory to God!

We had some glorious church in the Jail tonight! 🙌🏽👑 So thankful for this whole team and the flow of anointing that comes from heaven through them all! 🙏🏽❤️ They said it’s been nearly 100° in that rec area every night for the past week, but the night we have to go out to have church the temperature dropped down into the mid 80s and a beautiful breeze swept in over those very high, thick, brick walls in the most refreshing way. That is called goodness and mercy following me! 🥰😇 I had a woman in the class, but my hands, as her tears dripped off of her face onto them, saying, “You have changed my life!” I immediately began shaking my head no, and she knew where I WAS GOING WITH THAT, so she CONTINUED very loudly, “JESUS used you to give me something I’ve always wanted and never had before. I will never be the same! AND I JUST PRAISE GOD!“ 🥹😭🙏🏽 After the service Captain was telling us about fruit that remains from all the different ministry that goes on in this Jail. We are not the only church going in there, we are not the only team, and I know without a doubt ministry in this jail is so fruitful because the Captain wants it that way. So I just want to mention to you, if you have any friends or loved ones who are incarcerated, I know you are praying for them, but also make it a very high priority to pray diligently over the leader ship in the facility, they are at, and definitely pray over the law enforcement in your city, the sheriff, the deputies, captains, and wardens at the jails and prisons near you. 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽
