LIGHTNINGS, LIGHTNINGS, LIGHTNINGS

When we were in Belize, CA last week, John, our daughter, Darlene the psalmist, and myself encountered such a presence of the Lord. We were invited into the country through the World Harvest Mission Center in Belize City, and from there on the doors opened all over the country. There is truly a hunger for the Word of God, and the signs and wonders followed when Bro. John gave the message on Faith. On the second night, at the end of the ministry, the pastor of World Harvest Mission Center invited all the pastors from different churches up front to be ministered to. They came up front and as we began to lay hands of them I saw something I had not seen in 25 years – lightning coming down in streaks above the heads of the pastors, and they began to fall down all over the place, limp and sprawled out. There was a sound that accompanied the lightning, just in regular lightning in the sky – broommmmmm. This was seen and heard by others also. The Lord spoke that the pastors would carry the impartation they received that night back into their perspective churches and that is exactly what happened. As we went from church to church, the power of God was demonstrated. Much prophetic word was given and there were demonstrations that God was present. Belize is a British Commonwealth, and much of the mother country of England is part of the culture. The official language is English, then English Kriol (Creole), Spanish and a minority of Mayan Indians that speak Mayan. It was an awesome time, and our hearts have been knit to Belize, and we look forward to a return trip. There was a prophetic demonstration where I poured out water across the front of the church during a meeting, and the Lord spoke and said that there was an open heaven and now is the time that the Holy Spirit will begin to move upon Belize. The Lord again prophesied in Orange Walk, that the name was changed to “Land of the Green”, the color of green depicting life. There was a Mayan man, a direct descendent of the Mayans, who lowered his head after a meeting and said, “I am a sinful man”, and we prayed for him and he received the Lord. That was the night that over a hundred received the Baptism in Holy Spirit. Wow! What a wondrous time in Belize – and we are going back soon!

We were also invited to go to Guatemala for a one night, where many repented, after the message went forth, because of unforgiveness in their lives. There we met Sonya, whose ministry is to the elderly who have no families and lie on the streets to die. Their bodies are then wrapped in black plastic bags and dumped into a hole. Sonya takes the elders she finds to a building that she is renting and cleans them, feeds them and nurses them back to health, so when the time comes to depart from this world, they know the Lord and with dignity they are properly buried. Darlene ministered to these old folks in song and love and they had tears in their eyes. How many would like the ministry of Sonya? We love our Spanish brethren, and God keeps opening the doors to go forth! Be blessed!
