At Harvest
Mountain the new wine drips from the mountains. The feet that bring
good news are beautiful as they GO
and pray and tell others that the Kingdom of God is at hand. At Harvest
Mountain the—river of life flows!
Prayer Evangelism
Robert Morris of Gateway Church gave a simple but profound call to the Body of Christ. Each one being a witness. Why the four spiritual law "deal" does not really work. The harvest is here and we must empower the Body to "GO FORTH" in the byways and highways of their life. Please send this information on to all you know who are asking God for courage to open their mouth and tell others their story about how they met Jesus. So simple. Jump across the river of fear and fall into HIs Love and tell others. Barbara Moore - evangel. Click the link www.theblessedlife.com to hear the message.
Prayer Evangelism - or Outreach Prayer Workshop
Treasure Hunt with Jesus in your grocery store . Take a team of four or five or 20 and go out and pray for people. You will have an hour of training and then we will go do the prayer on site. This is not handing out tracks or will it be offensive to people. We will be led by Jesus and the Holy Spirit and people will be so happy we prayed for them. People who do not want to pray first time can observe with no one judging them. Those who like to exhort – exhort. Those who like to pray for healing – pray for healing. Those who like to prophesy – prophesy. 2008 is the year for the church to GO. Jesus told us this in Matthew 28 and he is looking for obedient ones. If you would like to book this workshop with Barbara, please e-mail BarbM12345@aol.com or call 720-231-8337. What is prayer evangelism?
From the Life of
John G. Lake
We need to see another powerful healing movement
occur like that of John G. Lake. He moved in great power and was used
to
great effect in South Africa and much of the northwest part of the
United
States. The following are newspaper articles from the Spokane,
Washington,
secular newspaper in 1924 of a healing parade led by Reverend Lake.

Thursday, August 7, 1924 -- HEALED BY GOD
PARADE
Expect 250 members of the Church Elect to enter into what
they hope will be an impressive testimony to the power of God to heal;
about 250
persons, who claim to have been healed of their diseases through
prayer, will
parade on the downtown streets Saturday afternoon, August 16, at 3:00.
A permit
for the use of 50 automobiles, and a band, to parade at that time has
been
issued to Dr. John G. Lake, head of the Church Elect, by the city
council.
In speaking of the parade today, Lake said,"We believe in testifying to the power of God at every opportunity. It
is not
possible to get the message we have to teach before everyone. We
believe that
when the citizens of Spokane see this group of persons, many of them
once at
death's door with incurable diseases, it will be a forceful and unforgettable
testimony that God does heal."
The regular Thursday night healing meeting
will be held in the tents at Ash and Chelan at 8:00.
Monday, August 18, 1924 -- HEALED BY GOD
PARADE
Fifty autos carry 250 persons healed by Lake's prayers. Thousands
of Spokane people witnessed the unique parade of "healed" persons from
the"Church Elect," when they rode through downtown streets in automobiles
Saturday
afternoon.
About 50 automobiles were in line Saturday, and more than 250
persons who claim to have been healed of all manner of diseases by the
power of
God were in the cars. The automobiles were placarded with signs which
told of
the diseases from which the occupants were cured.
The cures affected by
the prayers of Dr. John G. Lake, according to the signs, were: nervous
prostration, pneumonia, diabetes, paralysis, tuberculosis, adenoids,
shingles,
flu, eczema, leakage of the heart, rheumatism, and broken arches.
The
feature of the parade was a delivery car containing more than a dozen
children,
and it bore the sign: "born painlessly" on each side. The mothers of
these
children had no assistance in childbirth other than prayer, they
declare. Dr.
John G. Lake, preceded by a band, led the parade. The cars traveled
downtown
streets for more than an hour.
A fitting conclusion, it would seem to the
series of meetings. Yes, there still were the skeptics in the
community, but the
ones who were healed by God will never forget the occasion when the
power of God
healed them as they had the faith to believe for it.

OUR DESPERATE
RESPONSE IS NEEDED
Repentance Needed
Some of us need
to repent of our fear and prejudice against a "faith emphasis." While
we need to
be broken, authentic vessels, there is no substitute for bold faith. I
invite
you to join me in repenting of our "fear of faith" because of what we
think it
might look like, what others have made it look like, and our fear of
what it
really does look like! Faith is almost always spelled
R-I-S-K!
Let's Minister at the Altar!
May the prayer
movement continue to grow, and may there be a restoration of leaders
and people
of prayer as in the days of Zechariah. Priests (that's you!), take your
place. Minister at the altar of prayer. Let the time of the incense offering
come forth.
Expect!
Let's believe God to pour down supernatural
encounters, healings, and miracles, as He has done in times past. Let's
expect
an invasion of Holy Spirit activity in response to our prayer
invitations
