In this next weeks I will be sharing a couple of things that we experience here at the "School of Ministry" in South East Asia. We have some wonderful people here and I pray that you will be really blessed by what they experience and what they have to say. Here is one of our Brothers sharing. I am not mentioning his name or where he is coming from, since it is very personal sharing. But with some of the people I will be able to give you more information. Here is what he said to one of our staff:

"Now the last 2 weeks of listening, praying and applying the lessons learned. He admitted God revealed to him all the excess baggage he is carrying that is giving him weights and difficulty to move in the ministry and causing him to change his behavior toward others, his wife, kids and the ministry...

In his case, he realized that he has bitterness towards his senior pastor and other pastors. He has this feeling of self-pity because of their present situation, the unforgiving spirit. One of the results of these feelings is that he gets easily angry.

Because of these inner struggles, his wife became the sponge who absorbed all the explosion of his inner struggle (anger).

Praise God because of the realization of his condition, he asked God to touch him and now he strongly believed and declared that he has been delivered. as he says that all those feelings were gone and that he has the feeling of peace and joy now.

He also realized what is missing in his ministry. That is the power of the Holy Spirit through the operation of all the gifts. He even asked himself what are his gifts. This led him to ask God to help him operate in this way, with the manifestation of the gifts.

In these two weeks of learning and dealing of God in his life he realized how blessed he is to be in this place and now he is thinking of how important this kind of learning/teaching/program is for other pastors/workers to experience the same. The so called 'inner healing." Because he knows that many pastors from his own country are wounded and struggling in pain because of many reasons.

He also commented, Claude you helped him to learn the journaling. Through it he sees specifically God's answers to his prayers...then finally, he said, it seems the four years of learning from Bible college compare here in this 4 weeks he is learning much here."

It is really great to see that God is moving in our midst. One of the things that many of the Students are saying is that they have not yet experienced the Power of the Holy Spirit in this sense and also that Inner Healing and Deliverance is not being taught in their nations... We do not really major in Healing and Deliverance, but see it as normal part of our ministry. But it seems there is a great need out there for this and I already have three invitations from different nations in South East Asia and the Himalayas to go teach about it...

Thank you for listening and please carry us in your prayers! We have a good time here, but it is also lots of work and lots of warfare!

Passionate for Christ and His Body!
