February 4-6, 2009 10th Annual Women's Conference in Mexico

Our 10th annual women’ conference in Puerto Escondido, Mexico was amazing. There were about 1000 in attendance and as usual we feed them three meals a day. That’s just the physical side. What really happened was a spiritual explosion of epic proportion.

Services began Wednesday night and we felt lead of the Lord to not schedule a specific speaker each night, rather we felt to begin the service and wait on the Holy Spirit to lead one of us to take the platform and speak only what we were hearing in our spirit. We went in and out of Worship, with a few speakers voicing what they heard in their spirit. The first night was good, we heard from the Lord, worshiped more and closed.

Thursday began our day sessions of more focused ministry with scheduled breakout sessions. This is where the women get more one on one ministry, where they can be free to share from their heart. Many of these women come just for these breakout sessions.

Thursday night was much like Wednesday night. However, we could since a special presence of the Holy Spirit. The word says, “They who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength…” This was happening. We were waiting on God. Again, no one preached. If God did not show up, we did not want to be there anyway. The worship was strong, the words that came from individuals encouraged our faith, but we knew there was more.

Friday, the last day was different. From the morning sessions to the afternoon we could since a stirring of the Holy Spirit. When the evening session began it started with a shout and then an explosion of the Presence of God. Nothing can describe what happened next, except an incredible move of Gods hand. People were healed instantly, with no one laying hands on them. Women began to dance. Some cried. Everyone worshiped. For more then 4 hours non-stop. Crowds from the streets began to pour into the meeting, just to see what was going on. People got saved, healed, and set free. The miracles just kept coming. God was touching his people. What an outpouring. We heard of many miracles afterward, as people were talking about it for days.

God is not looking for how great we are. He is not looking for what we do for him. He doesn’t care how much education we have, if he does not have our heart. Let me encourage you to wait on God. Isa 40:31 tell us that when we do he “Renews our Strength.” Many of you need to learn the art of Just Waiting on the Holy Spirit. He wants to bring you into the presence of God. Where there is refreshing, forgiveness, and rest. It’s a wonderful life.

Chiria Children's Home Slideshow

Chiria Children’s Home Tuxtepec Mexico

Chiria Children’s Home Tuxtepec Mexico

28 children were waiting with expectation as we brought toys, shoes, and clothing sent by Cornerstone Christian Center in Albany, New York. These children are from broken homes, divorce, or simply abandoned by both parents. One of the greatest needs we have had there is a couple that will serve as directors and serve the children as unto the Lord. We had the joy to bring Corinne and her son Timothy to “spy out the land” as God has placed a desire upon them to run a children’s home some place in the world. This was their first trip here and is now praying for Gods direction as to rather or not this is the place for them.

We were able to see the improvements done to the facilities that partners have paid for and have been long needed. This is the best we have seen the children’s home ever. The home is in good repair; the children look happy and healthy.

Thank you Cornerstone Christian Center for helping these children know the Love of Jesus.

Tuxtepec Mexico

Tuxtepec, Mexico December 12, 2008

“Moving Towards Revival” conference in Tuxtepec was the last conference we held in 2008. Very seldom do we see a group of people so ready and hungry for the fullness of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Young and old alike attended all six meetings from December 12th – 14th.

We ministered to women and men, separately, to the leadership, to the entire congregation in an open meeting with other pastors and leaders. Saturday night was a marriage banquet, the theme LOVE was set by the Holy Spirit. This was an outreach to the city and many unsaved couples attended and received the Lord as their savior.

What an amazing time we had. The presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong it melted all our hearts. The common thread of every meeting was a call to return to the cross and the blood of Jesus. We have a real bond with this church. They are on a mission to take the city for Jesus. The church is named “Amigos de Tuxtepec”. Friends of Tuxtepec. Many unsaved come each Sunday and find Jesus.

"This conference marked us for life." Were the words of the pastor as we concluded the meetings. The Holy Spirit touched us with his presence. Mariaelena and I are pressing in to the work of the Holy Spirit in our times. We know the end times draw near, and as they do we are know our strength lies in Him. We are doing all we can to reach the lost. Thank you for being partners with us to spread the "Good News."

PANAMA December 08

PANAMA- A country of prosperity. People are busy much like they are in the USA. Do they have time for God? Do they know how much He wants to have a relationship with them? Do they understand the great desire God had to redeem his people? Do they, or Do we, understand Philippians 2:6-8? GOD in the form of the SON (Jesus) did not consider his position as the creator of the universe something he couldn’t walk away from and become one of us so he could redeem us. He was willing to leave His awesome place in Heaven and become one of his own creations. It was the only way. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin (Heb. 9:22) But why? This is the big question. Why would GOD do this for people who are too busy to care?

This was the theme of the entire Conference in Panama.

When will we as individuals understand the great sacrifice GOD made to redeem us from our own sin? When will we leave our busyness, striving for the things that don’t matter, fighting for the things that will parish and begin to long for, and hunger after, the purposes of GOD.

GOD the SON (Jesus) left the SPIRIT realm to enter into the physical realm. Something that had to be extremely difficult except the fact he was the creator of Love. Which is what it took. GREAT LOVE. Today, GOD asks of us to leave our realm of the flesh/soul (leave yourself) and enter into the realm of THE SPIRIT.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Are you ready to leave the world behind and follow GOD? If so you must get to know the third part of the Trinity, GOD the HOLY SPIRIT.

GOD spoke to us at this conference and said "You are too busy for me. Too busy going about daily tasks. To busy to read the word. To busy to pray. So busy, I can’t get your attention." He said, “I long for you like a father longs for his wayward son or daughter to return, my heart hurts.”

We really need to stop being so busy that GOD really doesn’t have a place in our life. We live in the soulish realm of life. What kind of relationship do we expect to have with GOD living in this realm. He doesn’t live there. He came to bring us salvation and redeem us to himself. But after salvation we must press in to a new realm. The realm of the HOLY SPIRIT. Come, lets go there together. AS a partner of Wings Of Eagles International, Inc. you help us take this message to the nations.
