So here is a transcript of a message I wrote to a very close
friend to Hiedi Baker. They are both full time ministers in Africa who
experience constant miraculous works of the Living God and His constant
Love! I copied my reply here because it seemed like an adequate and quick
way to update everyone of my current situation briefly.
Thanks for the quick message :)
I LOVE HIM!!!! He is sooo sooo sooo faithful.
He turns my mourning into dancing :D
...So he gave me a dream two nights ago about a book that would contain the essence of the Book of Revelation in text but dedicated to telling the story through pictures.
Basically a Picture-Book naration of Book of Revelation. I'm currently going through my study guide by Mike Bickle (a SUPER handy item) and sorting out all the verses and sections I want to illustrate. In the meanmtime I'll be praying and searching for a person or team to draw, paint, create these visuals.. and especially for the creative devine revelation to acuratly portray the most Holy of Holy's... I know that no mere painting can portray the throne room but I believe that with the right art style and approach a sense of the majesty can be glimpsed without downplaying the absolutly unparalleled glory of His presence.
Also, He has put it on my heart to rid Tokyo's rail systems of their demonic suicide strongholds. I want to take teams to every boarding station and wage war in complete victory. Many Many Many people have killed themselves at these areas, throwing themselves into the bullet trains. Japan's overall suicide rate is OVER DOUBLE the USA's and is ranked #4 highest suicidal country in the world...
I don't think I can defeat this spirit of death alone or in one trip, but I want to make my stand and destroy the pits of doom, erecting towers of light and hope in their place.
God help me
:)
Please pray protection, strength, increased joy & freedom and a much bigger heart for me in this and so much more. Forgive me if I'm just giving you one more big email to read, even your small quick replies mean a lot to me from someone with such responsibilities as you. The work all of you do in Africa is not just a source of freedom for Africans, but continues to be an inspiration to many like me in America who realize that this life of faith is for REAL and that our King is REAL and provides for his Beloved.. that we can step out in radical faith.
Praying for the IRIS Ministries & You,

Jeff,
ReplyDeleteSuicide....My personal feeling is that it is a Spirit that tries to get you to quit before you have a chance to go to battle, In Japan's case....the ones who are in that category will because of their tradition, feel it there is more honor in suicide than to disgrace ones family and country.
A common situation that happens in Japan's schools is that one person is targetted and the others join in the attack. I encourage you to find those individuals and through the message of Jesus, you can save their souls while saving their life from the pressure of suicide.
This has been going on for years in Japan. In the USA, you are hearing of individuals who are bullied.....taking their own lives. It is rare here...but similar situation.
I will write you later about death oaths, that result in suicide.
bye for now
