Praise God for an extraordinary day of Open Heaven, fresh revelation and anointing at special revival for ministers of the gospel in Italy!
Padova is centre of our last foreign mission for 2010! Stand with us in prayers as we complete ther mission on sunday 12th December and fly back to London.
This is part of the general region in Italy of which Venice is the Chief city from where the world has been impacted greatly for several thousands of years.
Running with the mantle of Japhet, the tiny city state of Rome was one of the strongest and longest reigning world empires lasting for all of 622 years as the Leg of Iron in Nebuchadnezzer's dream(Daniel 2). Rome was the city state which ruled Palestine when Jesus was born and presided over His crucifixtion.
Rome is the seat of the largest religious organization - the Roman Catholic Church - which incorportes over 1.2 billion people world-wide.
The Land of Italy produced Marco Polo who sought out China as well as Christopher Columbus (with Spain) who sought out America. Galileo, Michelangelo and a host of some of the greatest contributors to Western civilization, Arts, Music, Education trace their roots to Italy.
Yet, this greatly endowed nation lacks one thing to an extraordinary degree: the true gospel of the Kingdom of God! Organized religion has failed Italy so miserably that the citizens(except the old) hardly go to the great edifices called Cathedrals which dot the landscape!
In 2009, the Lord had us here on a special mission. He took us to strategic locations including the heart of the Babylonian system to wage spiritual warfare, loose some captives and declare the gospel of the Kingdom.
An enduring fruit of that Mission is the International Ministers Fellowship, Italy Chapter. From Padova, the Fellowship has enfolded ministers afar of as Perugia and other cities. Today, we had the priviledge of being used by God to add fresh impetus to their lives and widen their understanding of the gospel of the Kingdom.
The saints are so open to what the Lord has to say and so hungry for more of Him that our fellowship continued at the place of dinner. We are only just now getting a chance to retire at past 12 midnight!
Tommorrow, Minister Patrice and I will share the word in two different churches. Please stand in the gap for the Lord to use us beyond measure to minister grace to the saints and widen their understanding of the Kingdom. Pray that the hand of God will be on both of us so mightily that the outcome in the lives of the saints will be lasting! Pray that the seed of the word sown into lives here will be a great harvest of transformed lives who God will use to enlarge and deepen His Kingdom in this strategic nation!
Pray also that after service, God will grant us safe passage by air, on time, back to London. Pray that we will arrive Elm Park, Hornchurch in the London Borough of Havering in time to meet with the saints who will be ordained in January 2011. Their interviews and preparation for ordination is now in full gear.
God bless you all and know, without doubt, that we cherish the divine connection with you and the relationship we enjoy in the Spirit!
We continue with the teaching on GSoM Course 121: Market Place Ministry on Monday.
