Three kinds of Hope

Posted on by

Three kinds of Hope. Fear, Fantasy, Faith.

 

Last nights message at Word of Life was on three kinds of Hope. Pastor taught that we are to have faith but it must be coupled with Hope to bring true meaning into out walk with Christ.

 

FEAR:

The first type of Hope is Fear. This is Hope where we fear the outcome or the consequences. We Have a vision and have faith for God to make that vision come true. But we have fear in our hopes of it coming true. We fear the cost, the commitment, the involvement, our ability, and on and on.

 

This is fear coming from the enemy to stifle our vision and ensnare us in worldly fear. Our faith may be there but the fear overshadows it making progress impossible.

 

Pastor said this is like being trapped in a box. Walls are erected on all sides of us and we can not see how to get out. Satan makes our minds think of the impossibility of achieving our vision. We become trapped and bogged down with thoughts of inadequacy or incompetence.

 

This kind of wrong thinking must be broken by allowing the Spirit of God free reign in our lives. Immersing ourselves in Gods word, praying, and fasting will bring us out of it if we are truly willing to make the change.

 

FANTASY:

The second type of Hope is Fantasy. This is where we try to make up a vision for ourselves based on something fictitious: Or by trying to accept another person’s vision as our own.

 

We see someone doing well in a ministry and decide that this is what we want to be doing. So we go about doing the work without being called by God. This leads to failure since we do not have the talents or abilities to accomplish the task with out struggle.

 

Each Christian has a unique set of talents given to them by God to accomplish the unique vision that He has given to them. Using anything else is not in God’s plan and destined to futility and failure.

 

Pastor gave examples of several people stepping out to do ministries on their own. He then related how they had failed to succeed and are no longer doing anything for God with their lives.

 

What a waste this is to Gods kingdom. If we use the talents we have, to fulfill the vision we have been given, God will direct our paths and lead us to victory. The path may not be lined with gold or easy, but it will be God’s path.

 

Yes we have stepped outside of the box but on our own volition, not by God’s mighty hand.

 

FAITH:

The third type of Hope is Faith. This is the type of Hope that makes our lives worthwhile for God’s ministry. An intense Hope in the greatness of God and His ability to work in us the vision He has given to us.

 

Pastor used tithing as an example. When we just give without hope for a return or blessing then we get none. But when we give with expectancy of God opening the storehouse of heaven then we receive richly. We receive ideas, concepts, and insights.

 

So having faith in a vision given by God coupled with a Hope of Faith gives us the power of God to accomplish it. Our Hope is made complete and our Faith in God is fulfilled through our vision.

 

Abraham could not physically comprehend or believe that his and Sarah’s old bodies could produce a mighty nation. Yet his Hope of Faith led him to continually see the outcome that life dealt as impossible. His heirs are now like the sand of the sea and the stars in the heavens.

 

Hope is a might tool provided by God to fill our lives with a reason for continuing when all else seems impossible. A true vision from God should appear to us as being impossible to accomplish. That way we know that when it has come to past that it was God who did it and not ourselves.

 

Dream Big: Dream the impossible. Let God’s vision overfill your mind with its vastness. Then have the Hope of faith that He will see it through to completion. Anything else is box living, like being trapped in a closet for the rest of your life.

 

To God be the glory.

Orizaba Pastors Confrence

Posted on by

Dear Friends and Loved Ones,

Thank you for your Prayers! The trip to Orizaba, Mexico went well. As we arrived at the airport we could feel that this trip was going to have a good outcome. We arrived in Mexico City and we felt the excitement of the mission trip. The Lord was sending us on a great commission and that was to tell our brothers in Christ to never give up.

The following day we took a bus into from Mexico City to Orizaba. We were excited yet I could feel fear trying to attach to my spirit. I could felt the prayers of many that were with us giving me encouragement. As we boarded the bus they took a video of those that were traveling. At each stop they counted those that were on the bus and at each stop there were Federal Police present with machine guns. We could feel that God had already stationed His angles to take care of us. As we traveled into the mountains we enjoyed the beauty of another country.

Once we arrived we could feel the spirit of peace Orizaba which is a small village sounded by mountains. The families in this village are close and bonded together. The street were full of people that walk at all hours of the day and night. We never felt the spirit of fear. Every evening people go into the small village where they enjoy walking, sitting, and enjoying the beauty of God creation. The parks were full of families that come out for the night, enjoying each others company. They lack the riches but they have the bonding of love that can be felt.

As we walked and enjoyed the freedom of the beauty of Orizaba we could see the full moon and the clear skies full of stars as God was smiling down on us. The peace only GOD COULD GIVE. So very different for Juarez, Mexico.

The Pastors conference went very well. Many Pastors for the surrounding areas of mountains and citys of Mexico came to be encouraged. Pastor Mike and Pastor Pena, from Mexico City, both gave very encouraging words . We could feel the spirit of discouragement. But as God lead his servants to speak, His love came forth with such an power. The Holy Spirit lead many to the alters. Those that were in needed to hear from the Master were filled with the Spirit..

God used His servants to bring forth the words that was needed so badly. THE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT came to them to not to give up but to press on and feed the sheep that were in need. Many leaders that were assisting the pastors were also blessed. They were told to encourage their pastors and to stand in agreement with them.

God was also telling us as a team to never give up. The trails of life can be hard and will come and go, but stand faithful and go forth preaching His word. For the time is short. God was also sending us a message to us not to give up and to Move into the byways and the highway and preach the message of Jesus Christ. God at the same time was ministering to all the team leaders.

Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Rom 10:15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

He is coming very soon and His children need to stay in fold and get closer to Him.

This conferences will be one we will never forget. As it began we could see expressions of sadness ,discouragement, and expressions of tiredness. One pastor expressed to me that he was ready to give up. That the sheep were going to kill him at a young age. He had prayed and asked God if he was to continue pasturing. After the conference he thank God. He said that I know now I can continue because of the encouraging words. Bless God for we saw burdens lifted and smiles replacing the sadness.

I want to share another praise with you. When Jim and I arrived at home we felt that there was more that God wanted us to do. We were not to just go to church and get spiritually fat, but to give of what we had received at the pastors conference.

We had done some outreach with Means Ministry previously. Mean Street goes into the East Colfax area and preaches the word and gives out food and clothing. On Monday night we decided to join as they ministered in the apartments along East Colfax.

We first went to a cheap hotel, but we were told it was closed to us since they were filming a movie there at that time. The producers of this sleazy movie were form the Middle East They had to find a hotel that portrayed evil like killing, sex, prostitutes, and filth. We were turned away and could not minister there since that would disturb the production of film.

This brought me such anger to think that they would come from another county just to make our cities look like trash. This revealed to me that the labors are indeed few and the harvest is truly great. The next day this filming made headlines in our newspaper.

As those doors was closed on our ministering at that hotel, the Lord lead the team across the street to another apartment. I want to call Little Mexico. Here the Lord lead us to many open individuals and 15 accepted Christ and gave their hearts to Him.

Complete families came to the foot of the cross. They looked like people with out a country. Many in hiding because the were in the states without legal papers. As the gave their heart to Christ I could see the expression change on their faces. They had not given up on the Hope of Christ. We saw that he had made a way where there had been no way.

We saw tears of a mother when she explained that her son had been picked for a traffic violation. Only later to be detained by immigrations.

Grown men were in hiding because they did not trust anyone. But praise GOD. When we began to mention the name of Jesus the doors to their hearts began to open as they received Christ. They were so hungry to receive a bible, so willing to turn their lives all over to GOD. Where we at first had seen sadness, we then saw smiles on their faces as Jesus came into their hearts.

We lead a group of five children to Christ. They were first attracted to the candy we had to offer them. But soon became attentive to what we had to say about Jesus. Jesus had a great impact on all we ministered to.

God had divine appointments for us across the street on Colfax in an area I will always call “Little Mexico”. This apartment was chosen for us to minister at because God knew there were those that need Him. We were there and willing to be used by Him.

This was a GREAT night of ministering to those God had chose for us. We felt like we had been in Mexico, but at the same time He showed us the great need here at home in the United States. So many Souls that need to hear about Jesus!!

We are requesting your prayers again for the week of July 20th.

We are going to Washington DC to attend the “Christians United for Israel” conference. The summit will bring the most influential leaders and thinkers together to update us on the recent development in Israel. We will be meeting with our Congressmen so that each of us can share our support for Israel.

America, Israel and the whole world are facing a great danger in the Middle East. Iran’s president has threatened to wipe Israel off the map. Each day he gets closer to acquiring the nuclear weapons with which to make good his threat. We have no time to waste.

We will meet at Capitol Hill to listen to speakers like John Hagee, founder and National chairman of Christian United for Israel.

If you are interested in representing Israel and want to go to Washington go to CUFI.

We love you guys and again thanks for your prayers

Love you in Christ,

Anna and Jim Gregg

Juarez – Ana

Posted on by

Dear Friends and Loved ones,

As many of you know we just returned for Juarez Mexico where we went to minister to the Pastors and the leaders there.

Before we left we were asked by Pastor Bagwell to go on a 40 day fast and prayer. After the 40 days we had a week long Prophetic Convocation, which means the gathering of eagles. Speakers from third world countries were invited and God moved in a powerful way.

As you know the economic drought is hitting all over the world. God is showing man that He is in control and not mans government.

A week after the convocation we joined Pastor Mike, missions pastor for Word of Life Christian Center, and traveled to Juarez to meet with the Pastors. As I spoke to the Lord concerning what I had received at the convocation, in the form of anointing, I told the Lord that I didn’t want to store what he had give me. But rather that I wanted to share it with people who were in need of hearing from GOD.

As you know, the Lord called me to Mexico 14 years ago. My first trip was to Monterey, Mexico. There the Lord told me that I was to be a missionary to the Mexican people. During the past 14 years I made over two hundred trips across the border.

In have ministered to the Mexican people, taken in clothes and food, worked in orphanages, held tent revivals, organized and taken in teams, help built churches, built homes for pastors. God sent me to assist the people in Mexico.

On my first trip to Mexico I questioned the Lord as to why he had chosen me to go to such a dry and desolate country. After all these years I now see why. I found in Mexico those that loved the Lord, who needed to hear the news of Jesus Christ, who needed their souls restored, orphans that needed to know they had a Father who loved them.

Many seed of the gospel were sowed; many lost came to know Christ as their Savior. The countless miles of travel into Juarez and the many friends that I met brought a closeness I will never forget.

In April of 2008 God told me that I was to go to Juarez with a team that was lead by Pastor Mike who had traveled with us for 13 years, my fellow missionary and friend. So once again I crossed the border into Juarez. At that time I felt that this would be my last trip into the country that had grown to be my home. I told Pastor Mike that this was my last trip to Mexico and my last time in the mission field.

But to my surprise it was not what God had wanted.

I had often question God why he had called me into Juarez? I remember my first mission trip there. I was a shock to see what lay before me as we crossed the borders of the United Sated into Mexico. I had left my country of green grass, paved roads, beautiful homes, nice cars; to enter a dry country that was all full of trash. I often question God why you have called me into Juarez?

Mission’s teams came with us from all over the United States to plant the seed of Jesus Christ, to build homes, and feed the poor. Then the borders were open to missionaries and through our work many received the gospel. God knew that one day the borders would be closed and missionaries would not be able to enter freely. Through our efforts many were lead to Christ, told about Jesus. The seeds planted about Christ were watered, and many souls were restored.

As the years went by we had seen, as President Fox came into power, that Juarez started to get a new look; new condos were built where once there were shacks of cardboard and pallets. New roads were built and the city was made livable once again.

Doing mission work in Mexico brought me excitement seeing what GOD was doing through those who ministered with us. But on this last trip the story was different. I had never felt the pain in my spirit; I was extremely saddened by what I saw.

This time as we entered Juarez, I saw a sign that stated that there would be a three hour delay crossing the border back into Texas. As many cars and trucks rushed across the bridge to America, I noticed something different. There were solders everywhere. Big black military vehicles, with eight heavily armed men in each one, were driving in groups of three or four up and down the streets. There were reports the Drug Lords were trying to overturn the government. All of the Mexican/American borders towns were being hit hard this conflict.

My spirit was saddened even more so when we went to hotel where we had stayed with teams over the years. There were very few patrons at the hotel except for forty or fifty Federal Police officers billeting there. They were armed and ready to kill. In all 7,200 troupes had been summoned to protect Juarez. They were dressed in full armor ready to shoot at the command of their officers. As I talked to several of them I could see the look on their faces revealed that they meant business.

We felt safe there because we were surrounded by troupes, yet sadden at the same time because the church members were in hiding because of fear. We heard that about 2,000 people had been killed in the days before we arrived.

We were actually in the middle of a war between the military and the drug lords. My heart has never felt so sadden before, but now was torn apart by what was happening. The street in front of the hotel was all ways busy like 1-25 in Denver. Now there were trucks filled with military driving in packs. Only a few cars were seen.

Our hotel was guarded with federal police who had stressed faces. They looked at us, I could feel the question why are you here? I talked to one of the officers and asked how long this was going to last. He said that they would be there for a year or years. We felt like God had stationed angles to watching over us.

The following morning we decided to go the Mercado which had always been one of the highlights of a mission trip to Juarez. When we arrived we found the market mostly empty. We actually parked in the first spot right outside the front entrance. Many of the venders had closed their stores. The ones remaining were hurting because there were no tourists to buy their wares.

Many of the venders expressed their sadness over the state of the economy. We encouraged as we could and asked if we could pray for their businesses. Many were glad to have us pray for them. Several gave their hearts to Christ.

As we walked through the market we felt like death had come to this place. Most of the stores had closed yet a few stood in faith that they were going to make it. Walking through the marked we could hear the echo of our voices. Once it rang with the laughter of many happy shoppers.

I remembered a man by the name of Armando who had four stores in the balcony area. At one time had sold blankets to our teams for the orphanages. He had taken in one of our team who had been left at the market by mistake. Through our meeting him and telling him about Christ he gave his heart to Christ. This time as we walked up to his store, we asked him what had happened. With a sad look on his face he told us that business was bad and that he was just trying to make some money to take care of his wife.

We always ate lunch outside of the marked in the busy restaurant area. This time it was empty except for another family across from us.

Surprisingly our waiter seemed very uneasy as he went about waiting on us. He kept on telling us that he could seat us inside of the building where we could be safe. The word safe keep coming out of his mouth, “I can seat you inside where it is SAFE.”

Afterward we discussed what had happened. We noticed, as we were being seated a young man eating by himself. He had the appearance of being rich with an air of arrogance about him. Both Lisa and I felt that he was a drug lord and that the waiter wanted us to move because of a possible assassination being set up. We now believe that God’s presence with us had protected this gentleman from harm.

That evening we went to see Lilly who was one of our translators. We asked her what was going on. She told us about the drug lord and the killings in Juarez. She mentioned that members of the church were scared and many of them were staying in hiding fearful of being killed.

Lilly mentioned that many of the people worked for the U.S. factories that had moved into Mexico. These companies were cutting their pay in half, to $50 per week. If they were late to work their days wages would be again cut into half. If they quite their jobs they would lose all of the retirement and benefits accrued.

That night as we meet with the pastor and other leaders of the church, I could feel a spirit of depression over them. The Lord was showing me that this time we were not there to pray for those that need Jesus; but to encourage those that were ready to give up their ministry. The movement of the Holy Spirit was strong as we prayed and lay on hands; many were slain in the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit was telling me to tell them not to give up; to keep on with Jesus because he was coming soon. Sunday morning there was a movement of the Holy Spirit of God like I had never felt or seen before.

God was showing me that for 14 years many seeds were sown; now we were there to give encouragement to the leadership of the church. God was giving them a message that now was not the time to give up; it is the time to move higher and higher with him.

That night, as I was praying about what the Lord had shown me, I kept on hearing the word Taliban. The Taliban is hiding behind the drug lords. They are in Mexico and at all the borders ready to move across into America. Tell my people to keep on praying for the Taliban are ready to overthrow the Mexican government and they will try to overthrow the United States government as well.

We had heard that the United States was thinking about closing the borders because of the danger taking place. This would cease further mission’s trips to help minister to those in Juarez.

God also showed me that through all of these years of work that there remain a remnant who had given their hearts to Christ and were seeking God for answers.

The borders of Mexico are now becoming closed to missionary groups because of fear. “Houses of Christ”, who previously built 110 houses a month, are no longer taking groups in because they fear their team member will be killed.

Because of what is happening, Lilly said that many of the strong Christians believe that revival is going hit Mexico, starting in Juarez.

Please keep our Mexican brothers and sisters in Christ in your prayers.

Juarez – Jim

Posted on by

 Juarez as seen by Jim

A year ago I came to Juarez for the first time. When we arrived the traffic was horrendous. I marveled at how well Pastor Mike worked his way to the hotel.

When we pulled in, the parking lot was full but for a few empty spots. When we walked to the restaurant the sidewalks were full of people and traffic was heavy.

We went to the Mercado late Sunday and had only 15 minutes to shop before they closed. So there were not too many people in the shops. We had to park three blocks away. We ate outside the Mercado where the tables were almost all filled up with diners. The waiter squeezed us into an empty spot.

What a change has taken place. This trip to Juarez saw a totally different atmosphere. The streets are empty, well not quite, but Saturday evening there were only a few cars on a street that use to be busy like Colfax on the same evening.

When we went to the Mercado we parked in the very first spot right outside the front entrance. When we went inside we were almost the only ones doing any shopping.

When we ate in the outside restaurant there were only a couple other parties present. We got superb waiter service.

The failing economy of America has had a disastrous impact on this Mexican border town. This affect has been made pale in comparison to the recent Drug Lord massacres taking place in the past few months. There have been a 1,000 drug traffickers murdered as well as a number of innocent bystanders. Tourism has latterly ceased as people stay away in fear of being killed.

While in the Mercado we saw no other Anglo’s present. Neither did we see many in all of our time in Juarez.

The drug problem has been going on for years as the local authorities have turned a deaf ear to the happenings. Many officials have worked in concert with the trafficking of illegal drugs and have been unwilling to contend with it.

The recent outbreak of killings has prompted the Federal Government to impose Martial Law and send in 7,200 troupes to enforce the law and provide protection to the public; a Police Action in taking place in many of the border towns.

We passed dozens of black military police trucks each one holding eight heavily armed officers. Two in the front seats, two in the back seats, two standing facing sideways with guns in hand, and two sitting facing back also with guns. The were all in black, helmets, flack vests, gloves, heavy boots, and semi-automatic weapons. This was quite impressive.

When we returned to the hotel after church we saw 40 to 50 of these men standing in formation in the parking lot. They were being billeted there. God provided many angles to protect us on our trip.

Ana talked with two of these soldiers who were standing guard at the hotel. The said that they would be there for the next six months or year, until the situation has been brought totally into control.

Lilly mentioned that having these troops in Juarez was a violation of civil law. So a state of national emergency exists causing this imposing of martial law.

She said that there were no killing either Saturday or Sunday, possibly because of our presence there? God honors the efforts and prayers of His remnant.

Life goes on as people carry on life as normal. But they are mostly staying home, not wanting to venture out. So do go over to Texas to shop where it is safe.

The economy is poor in Mexico as it is in America. Many of the church people work for the US factories that have relocated to Mexico for cheaper wages. Companies like Ford. The workers had their wages cut in half and they are now receiving $50 a week. If they show up late for work they get a 50% reduction in pay. If they show up early all the time they get a $14 bonus.

Lilly works in El Paso as a waitress receiving $100 a week.

My God! I make almost 30 times as much as these workers.

Lilly said that the church had been asleep throughout all of these happening in the past few years. Evil crept in and took control as they turned a deaf ear on it all. They did not take a stand. But this is changing as they are finally awakening to the evil in their land. That is why they see a revival coming on the winds of God.

It is interesting that Pastor Enrique was in prison for drugs and now God is using him to spearhead a movement from Juarez to Orizaba.

 His theme and email address are:

Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.

Ana was very depressed when she heard and saw all of this. She told Pastor Mike that she wanted to go home. She had seen Juarez grow from its very worst to the very best. Now she saw it at an even worst status.

She had three hours struggling with a word and vision from God Saturday night. She shared it with me and I recorded it; but subsequently deleted it by mistake? Possible it was for her and no one else.

Lilly said that the remnant in Juarez are all believing and praying for a revival starting in Juarez and blossoming outward into all of Mexico. This is happening because of all the unrest there now.

As bad as it is in America, we pale in comparison to the life in this dusty birder town just south of Texas. Yet we found the church members upbeat and cheerful. They continue to meet together and have started many home bible studies.

They, as us, are praying that the drought would be broken. They are seeking revival in their country just as we are in America.

Jeremiah 14

Jer 14:1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
Jer 14:2 “Judah mourns, and her gates languish; her people lament on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem goes up.
Jer 14:3 Her nobles send their servants for water; they come to the cisterns; they find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are ashamed and confounded and cover their heads.
Jer 14:4 Because of the ground that is dismayed, since there is no rain on the land, the farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.
Jer 14:5 Even the doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn because there is no grass.
Jer 14:6 The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail because there is no vegetation.
Jer 14:7 “Though our iniquities testify against us, act, O LORD, for your name’s sake; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you.
Jer 14:8 O you hope of Israel, its savior in time of trouble, why should you be like a stranger in the land, like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Jer 14:9 Why should you be like a man confused, like a mighty warrior who cannot save? Yet you, O LORD, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; do not leave us.”
Jer 14:10 Thus says the LORD concerning this people: “They have loved to wander thus; they have not restrained their feet; therefore the LORD does not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.”
Jer 14:11 The LORD said to me: “Do not pray for the welfare of this people.
Jer 14:12 Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, and though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
Jer 14:13 Then I said: “Ah, Lord GOD, behold, the prophets say to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.'”
Jer 14:14 And the LORD said to me: “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.
Jer 14:15 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although I did not send them, and who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed.
Jer 14:16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, with none to bury them–them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.
Jer 14:17 “You shall say to them this word: ‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease, for the virgin daughter of my people is shattered with a great wound, with a very grievous blow.
Jer 14:18 If I go out into the field, behold, those pierced by the sword! And if I enter the city, behold, the diseases of famine! For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land and have no knowledge.'”
Jer 14:19 Have you utterly rejected Judah? Does your soul loathe Zion? Why have you struck us down so that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
Jer 14:20 We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD, and the iniquity of our fathers, for we have sinned against you.
Jer 14:21 Do not spurn us, for your name’s sake; do not dishonor your glorious throne; remember and do not break your covenant with us.
Jer 14:22 Are there any among the false gods of the nations that can bring rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Are you not he, O LORD our God? We set our hope on you, for you do all these things.

40 Days

Posted on by

01/14/2009
40 Days.

On 01/11/2009 we started a period of 40 days of fasting, praying, talking, studying, meditating, in general just plain more intense communication with God wit the emphasis on drawing closer to Him and not pouncing upon Him a myriad of prayer requests and problems. At that same time we signed up to pray for an hour each day between 6 and 7 PM.

Before we entered into this I had some anticipation just what it would entail and what it would all mean in my life. Just shortly before this time Ana and I had been going through some growing pains as she discerned some things hanging around my present being that were a carry over from the past. Things that influenced my past and were not fitting for the new me that will need purifying to be a fitting vessel for what God wants to do with our lives together.

Sunday night Pastor prayed for us all as a group and some of us individually. During that time we identified those strong holds that Satan had on our lives that was pulling us down in our growth upward. These things keep us from reaching the new heights in spirituality that God has in store for us. Pastor Gala saw this as a hand grasping on our heels pulling backward as we tried to fly upwards.

I identified the Spirit of infirmity which has kept me in bondage never letting me reach my full potential, along with fear, lust, anger, alcoholism and others. I was set free when Pastor prayed for me and for the group. I accepted that freedom and now am living my life with that resolve at the front of my mind.

I fell asleep soundly that night and did not awaken until 4:30 the next morning. What a feeling of peace. But I am still being bombarded with health things as I can feel Satan trying to get his grasp reinserted in my life. This I reject and cast out of me daily, constantly. The power of God within me is far greater than the power of the evil one who rules this world.

I will overcome. I am overcoming. I have overcome. The full effect may take a while but I have freedom of all these things in my life.

It is strange that the next day, when thinking about the myriad of health problems pounding my past life, I realized that the first bad thing I can remember happening to me was when I was I Florida just about to be sent home because of the “Tongues Thing”. A day before leaving I broke out in hives that itched a lot. They went away and fullness began in my throat. This turned out to be Reflux which tormented me for 30 years and has still been an issue.

There was one issue after another that came relentlessly ever since. Three times I should have died but God stayed my being. A ruptured Cerebral Aneurism, a botched Reflux Surgery, and most recently a Seizure while traveling to Kansas. Out of each of these I came unscathed.

I feel that the power of God to keep me alive for the work that is before me was stronger than the spirit of Satan as he tried to take me out. He had kept me unproductive for nearly 40 years.

So this time of intense drawing nearer to God has come at a very crucial time for me. It is just before heading out to Orizaba for the second time to help out with the pastor’s conference there in May-April. This is also a time when we have been making preparations to go full time for a year in Mexico.

This preparation will leave me purged of past wrongs and habits, filled with the newness of God. Cleansed and swept out ready to receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit into my vessel.

This is a time of preparation for the future events about to take place in Ana and my lives. Together we are heading into the battle field of the 3rd world countries as a tightly woven three stranded cord. Honed and prepared for intense hand to hand combat with Satan and his evil cohorts.

I am truly enjoying this new endeavor of drawing closer to the King of Kings. I had already begun to get up at 4:30 so I could study and read on a consistent basis. I also listen to sermons and teachings on the way to and from work, sometimes praying the whole way. I have begun to write for about an hour a day to hone my new skills there. I have begun to study the “Spiritual harvest” materials at noon time along with some praying and meditating. We pray together for an hour between 6 and 7. We pray before meals, when we get up, when we go to bed, over our poster, for our kids and at other times as needed.

It is an incredible feeling to be so close to the Father is my daily life. I am never far away from thoughts of Him or of our missionary calling. Thoughts of what is in store for us and what will take place and all.

I can only imagine what will take place in the church as 100 remnant core people do the same. What outpouring of the Spirit will overtake the church? What blessings will descend from upon high? What might things will take place as a newness envelops the whole church. People will be drawn to the intense light shinning from the abundance of water flowing outward. The drought will be broken and seeds will flourish in vast fields of harvest and bread.

I am glad that me and my wife are a part of the ever growing greatness of Word of Life. Our involvement grows and strengthens each day. For the Glory of God and the winning of souls.

America’s Goddess

America’s Golden Goddess Jim Gregg
Daniel 5 03/05/2009

This morning, as I sat down to read and write, God took me to the book of Daniel chapter 5.

There I found all sorts of strange things. King Belshazzar was partying with his royal court, their wives, and his concubines. He decided to bring in golden goblets taken from the tabernacle in Jerusalem. They drank heartily then toasted the gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood. Wow! What a cast of notable characters to pay homage to.

Suddenly fingers, coming out of nowhere, started writing on the plastered walls of the palace. Strange characters appeared that could not be interpreted. One would think that this would be odd and frighten away all those who were present. But it merely caused the kings countenance to change and his knees and legs get weak.

He immediately called in all of his counselors, magicians, and soothsayers to have them diverge the meaning of the words. They were unable to accomplish this demand. So King Balshazzar called in all of his mighty men, who also failed the task.

The Queen then told the King about Daniel who she heard could interpret such things. So King Balshazzar brought in Daniel and he was able to bring meaning to the writings.

The writings spelt doom to the kingdom. In fact that very night they rang true as the king was slain and a Mead took his throne.

Dan 5:25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

I see this as a prophecy speaking to America. It is a statement of our very status as a country founded on the word of God but now given over to the Goddess of Gold.

Our country was founded on religious freedom and our forefathers actually believed the Bible and wrote documents as such. “In God We Trust” is graven on our currency and buildings. But it is no longer God whom we trust. No, it is the Golden Goddess of the mighty dollar.

America has always been the country of prosperity. We produce more and use more than any other nation in the world. We have become consumer’s par excellence.

Having come out of the Great Depression, our fathers were very frugal and did not waste or want more and more. After WWII things began to change as people became more mobile and sought out more pleasures to sooth their souls.

Things began to happen that swayed our beliefs from the God of the Bible, to what is in it for me. We sought bigger houses, more cars, better jobs, longer vacations, anything to please the body. Yet in spite of this era of prosperity evil crept in steadily as we were lured unaware.

Prayer went out of our schools. Babies became the target of the scalpel to let us be in charge of our bodies. Morality was pushed aside as sensationalism took charge to excite us to oblivion.

Luxury became or goal. We strove for two cars in every garage, and a Van (now SUV) in the driveway. We ate, drank, and smoked, like there was no end. Carl Sagan lured us with millions and billions of universes; millions and billions of years. We drank in the opiate of evolution. “Who are we but mere specks of protoplasm thrown together on the whirling globe called Earth?”

I want, I want, more, and more. I got and I got till there seemed to be no end or lack. This is what Osama Bin Laden hated about America; our absolute control of money and our worshiping it as gods. So he attacked our great symbols of wealth, the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

This should have woken us up to what was happening to America. But it did not. Yes, it did enrage us and throw into a war for 7 years, but our hearts still were in love with wealth and not the things of God.

Sadly, through all of this the Christians, of our once great and spiritually oriented country, sat lazily aside like Saul picking pomegranates from his shade tree. Where once we had great tent revivals and healings being performed, we now have Jerry Springer and Ophra chanting out our mantra.

We were called the silent moral majority by the news media. We became lazy, being lured into a sleepy daze unaware of what was taking place in our country by a small choice few. These soldiers of Satan have taken their toll. They have won great victories that have put most of us to shame. Yet we feel our hands are tied with no recourse but to let the law’s stand.

So our precious America buckled up and persisted through another unwanted war. “Ho Hum!” “What are we fighting for?” President Bush called it “EVIL”. The press called it a waste and uncalled for.

Presidents, CEO’s and CIO’s of major companies began to “cook the books” and wound up bilking billions of dollars out of the weary work force’s pockets; mainly from their retirement accounts.

Since gold had become the present goddess, Americans strove to get all that they could. It became easy to build up a fund worth millions of dollars. This hoard was just laying in wait for those few magic years, near the end of life, when one could sit back and bask in the limelight of such great achievements.

Get-rich programs, commodities, stocks, investments, shorting stocks, speculations, real estate schemes, ponzi schemes abounded. Men strove day and night to get his share of the wealth. Men began to worship wealth. We bowed down to the lottery mentality, wishing and hoping for our one big chance to become wealthy beyond imagination.

This madness began to be exposed as the “Enron’s” of the world crumbled down in disgrace. It seemed as if there was an epidemic of corrupt executives who had figured out how to line their own pockets with the working class’s retirement funds.

Yet this did not wake up the sleeping Christian nation. We just went to church and knew that God had provided salvation to us freely and we did not have to worry any more. “Why evil is in the world and will eventually take over.” “I can just sit on the sidelines and watch it all happen.” “Not to worry!” “I am saved for eternity.”

So, Satan, seeing the depraved hearts of most Americans, cooked up another disaster. One built to order for our money worshiping lenders. Why not make loans to people without qualification or adequate income to sustain the payments. Surely the economy will continue to flourish and increase. They will be able to stretch their wages to make this home their own.

Billions of dollars were lent out to unworthy and unqualified buyers. Banks jumped on the band wagon with lustful dollar signs in their eyes. The biggest job market open at that time was one of being a mortgage lender. Everyone was refinancing or stepping into bigger more luxurious homes. Even people with little money were enticed to buy homes with 0% down. Why not? Everyone else was doing it. I want mine, and I want it now.

Massive amount of money went into the pockets of a select few greedy lenders. Money was everywhere. Since Americans worship this golden goddess, life was full and enjoyable and there seemed to be no end to it all.

Bam! Now we are in the midst of the worst economic disaster in history. The American tax payer now own most of the financial institutions. Trillions of dollars have left our economy. We are at the verge of a complete monetary collapse. Surprise, surprise, Satan is alive and well on planet Earth.

Pastor Bagwell, of Word of Life Christian center, received a word/prophecy from God shortly after this bubble burst. He was told that “the drought is broken and that he heard the sound of an abundance of rain”. This has been Pastor Bagwell’s driving thought and prayer ever since that revelation. Even though the stock market fell 734 points the day after he told this to his congregation, he has stood strong in the belief of God’s word to him.

The remnant of believers at Word of Life have come together in prayer, fasting, and re-concentration. We are holding fast to the prophetic words received by Pastor Bagwell. We are standing in the gap for the rest of America. We know that God will revive America and put her back on the course which our forefathers first set us on.

Christians all over the country are waking up and getting back into true worship of God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is once again being allowed to reign freely in our services and our lives.

There is hope for America only if we get back to the basics taught in the Bible, only if we give up the goddess of god for the Living God of the Universe.

Convocation – 2

Prophetic Convocation – 2009

What a week this was, The Prophetic Convocation, A Gathering of Eagles. This week was more than that; it was a week long time for Spiritual blessings, growth, anointing, prophecy, and much more.

This was a week of intense closeness with God through the Holy Spirit. It has been a time for deep personal Spiritual enlightenment.

I found it immensely rewarding as I bared my soul to God and through the workings of His Holy Spirit found cleansing, anointing, renewal, and strength.

Sometimes I found it disappointing because there was not much about me, me, me. But this week was not about me. It was about the Church at 8700 East Park Meadows Drive and the Prophet of God who leads the church situated there.

What anointing’s have been laid upon Pastor Bagwell, NO, Prophet Bagwell. Just a short year ago several mighty men of God came to Word of Life to speak. Each one of them prophesized mighty things coming into being for Pastor Bagwell and Word of Life.

At that time it was my desire to be a part of this happening, whatever it would prove to be. I felt that something special and entirely holy was to come from this new church, now mine, through the might man of God who was the leader and Pastor.

Now it is a year later and I find that I am connected to Word of Life in a very real way through the heavy anointing of my beautiful wife Ana, and her connection to Pastor Mike and 3rd world missions.

So when the prophets from other lands gave new revelations into Word of Life and the blessings of Pastor Bagwell, I was not surprised. My heart soared as I heard the unfurling, clarification, and continuation of the previous prophecies. WOW!

Again my heart soared as I thanked God that I am a part of this marvelous happening. I could see how Pastor Mike, Lisa, Ana and I would be used as integral parts of this new Holy Ghost explosion. We would be taking Gods word and blessings to others throughout the world. Not just there but to the inner city of Denver as “The Church in the City” expands into a new venue.

News casters, media experts, TV personalities will flock to Word of Life to capture the New Movement of the Holy Spirit being proclaimed by Prophet Bagwell and his wife Gala. The church will be busting at the seams with curious people seeking out what is really happening there. “What is all this buzz about” they will be asking. Cars will pull into the parking lot unbeknown to why. The drivers will just feel led to see what is happening.

They will see a might Prophet finally claim his rights and come out of seemingly nothingness into the marvelous presence of world wide television coverage. Pastor Bagwell’s 30 years of dedicated, unwavering, and faithful service to the Lord has brought him to this place of high honor in the realm of God. He has been anointed and accepted as a high Prophet for the world in 2009 and beyond.

Buried deep within the church, there is a remnant of faithful hungry believers, who have found their faith fanned into a burning inferno by the Prophets teachings. They find that they are no longer content with just warming the pews, but are now destined to proclaim their own prophetic words into their workplace and ministries.

The blessings of the Prophet flow outward in a steady overflowing cascade of anointing upon these dedicated few. Those who have stood beside the great Pastor as he forged a new movement brought upon him by the Holy Spirit. They are the ones who carry outward the blessings as they flow down from above.

A might work is at foot, stomping through strongholds previously impenetrable. Place where Satan dwelt in peace and luxury. No more will this be the case. Satan has been put on warning by this Prophet of God. “Get out of the way of my Holy People” he says. “Get behind and be tromped underfoot.”

We, the few who have been faithful, go forth with a renewed strength into the unknown. No fear is with us as we go only the assurance and blessings flowing from our mighty Prophet. What power we have received; what a privilege it is to serve the Living God in such a Holy movement of His Spirit.

I know it is my desire, along with my bride forever, to cast our lot with this Prophet as he proclaims Gods warnings to the lost on Earth in these few remaining days of planet Earth. The time is short for our King’s return, mighty Jesus. We need to be about His work right now and forevermore.

For too long have we scurried about in our own feeble ways; doing some good, always our desire. But now the Holy Fire has been ignited and the new Prophet fully ordained into his position. Rally behind him all you who love the Lord and are called to His purpose.

Onward we march into this battle to be won, for God is with us through out all eternity. With Him before us sustaining our effort, victory is His. We are only called to take action and rely upon His doing the work.

This has been a week of holiness, a week of coming together as eagles, a gathering of our spirits into united oneness to be taken to a higher level with God as our Standard and Pastor Bagwell as our Prophet.

Convocation – 1

Posted on by

Prophetic Convocation.
February 22, 2009 – 10:30 AM.
A combined service which is becoming packed already at 10:15.
This is the end of a 40 day period of rededication, prayer, and fasting for the entire church. There is a pile of bread on the platform. A holy gathering like the gathering of the wheat. There is a beautiful 4 foot bouquet in front of the podium.

Eastwood Anaba is the speaker. Next Sunday will be another combined service at 10:30. Each evening this week will be a 6:30 service. “Gathering, Collection, Assembly”.

Pastor invited those whom he felt led to invite. Those who would have a special word for the church. Thursday will be a re-concentration service with special anointing. Friday will be oil and prayer cloths. Monday will be a impartation to the deacons in the church. The Holy Spirit is going to orchestrate the order and content of the services.

The man who has cancer and who sits in the front row is now 100% free of cancer.

Last October Anaba felt that he was going to be coming to Denver in February for some reason. So when Pastor called him he immediately accepted, especially when he heard about the 40 day period of fasting and prayer. He said that he did not want to miss out on the blessings himself.

Anaba said that even if we slept through the services all week that we would be blessed. He said that people need to go to a church where they can hear “Thus sayeth The Lord” not just preaching a sermon or a seminar. WOLCC is such a church.

2Ki 4:42 And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.
2Ki 4:43 And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.
2Ki 4:44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.

The bread from Baalshalisha was 20 loaves like the 20 loaves Anaba brought for the church. It is a symbol of anything that we bring to the church (WOLCC) during 2009 will be multiplied. Our tithes, offerings, ourselves, other people, our ministry (missions) etc.

2 Kings 18:17 – on.
Rabshakeh Spirit.
Let’s learn from the enemies camp. Discover truth. King Assyria (God) sent 3 men to spy out a city. 2009 the 9 is a special finality and judgment in the demonic world.

The people who will speak for God in the last days will be those who are the closest to the Holy Spirit, not educated or ones with the most talents. This is a time for Mary and not Martha. Rabsjakeh was the cupbearer to the King. So he had his ear and was close to everything the King said and did. We need to be close to the Holy Spirit in a similar manner.

This is like the butler who told Pharaoh about Joseph. Those whom we speak to about God will be freed from the prison they find their selves trapped in the carnal world.

The man who rebuilt Jerusalem was also a cupbearer to the King. Hezekiah.

Don’t seek out more education or more things or more. Run to get more of God. Get closer to God.

V19. He spoke in the name of the King. Don’t speak my own words. Speak what God says.

V21. We will not fear the power of Egypt (Satan).

No power except from God matters.

Isa 31:3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

Put faith in God not man (Egypt). 2 Kings 18:22,
Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him

True worshipers in the Spirit are the power.

V23. Trust God so much that we are not afraid of anything from the devil. There will be more mountains moved in 2009 that at any other time.

V15. He had a mandate spoken from God to do a work.
V26. He spoke in Hebrew – so all could hear plainly. We will speak before kings. Not words of our own but what God gives us. Women will speak boldly without fear. Speak in tongues loudly and freely. All will be able to hear and know that you are praying to God.

Anticipate that something great is going to happen to us this week. A manifestation of glory coming out of us greater than anything ever.

Be married to principles of God not the methods of delivery. Listen for the still small voice that will block out all other sound fully occupying all of my being.

Sunday evening – 6:30.
The 20 loaves of bread are now on the table in front of the podium. They have invited 30 African American pastors to attend and have reserved the first 5 rows for them. Many are first time visitors.

Today is a launching day. Free form Holy Ghost Service. Friday night will be oil and prayer cloths. Elevate my Faith to expect more from God this week.

Leadership

Prophetic Leadership – 2009

During the last session of The Prophetic Convocation 2009 – Pastor Marco very vividly spoke on 1 Samuel 14, telling the Prophetic word God had presented to him for Word of Life and Pastor Bagwell.

The Israelites were encamped surrounded by the Philistines. They had invaded the good land of the Israelites and had taken the high ground. The Philistines seemingly entering in by stealth and captured what was once land claimed by God for his people, the apples of His eye.

Jonathan said “let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised” echoing the very words that David would say to Goliath not too many years later. How could these heathens take over our precious land; Land given to us by God through our forefathers?

Meanwhile King Saul and the rest of the army sat around in quit comfort, seemingly content with the state of life. Saul, while resting under a Pomegranate tree, reached up to pick off some fruit and lazily ate to his fill.

The rest of the troops would get up each morning and rub the sleep out of their eyes, lazily noticing that “Yes” the Philistines were still there. “Oh! Bother.” “What are we to do?” “Never mind, look, the King is eating his morning fruit.” “Not to worry.” “Things are as normal.”

Then Jonathan’s armor bearer said “Do all that is in thine heart.” The armor bearer then faithfully followed Jonathan on his hands and knees up the hill to overtake the enemy.

This was not much of a battle. Out of the thousands of Philistines present, the duo killed only 20 foes. The Mighty and Glorious God of Abraham annihilated the rest with mighty miracles. The battle was truly the Lords.

Earthquakes and the impending confusion caused the overpowered army to kill off each other in a mighty display of God’s might.

There are many instances such as this scattered throughout the Bible, where a select few have come to task with the enemy and were given complete victory over the fight. God’s might hand played the majority of the role, yet the few brave dedicated soldiers had to take a stand against the present evil. It was only then that God played out the complete victory.

This story echoes what has been happening in America over the past 40 years or so. Quietly and stealthily the enemy has encroached into our once proud land. Our founding forefathers were dedicated to the Gospel and wrote our Declaration of Independence based upon God’s word.

The Philistines of our age have quietly taken over, or taken away our precious freedom. Without a shot from Christendom, prayer was ripped out of our schools. Now courts, boardrooms, public gatherings, and yes, from even some churches.

Never mind the high courts permission to kill babies by the millions. Yes, we can legally murder our little ones without a word from those of us taking a stand when the movement could have been squelched.

The enemy has indeed taken the high ground. He has indeed taken choice, precious; blood fought and won land from our very hands.

We Christians were asleep, waking gently to the morning mist and seeing nothing too concerning happening. Why, this new movement had the blessing of the courts. “What can we do?” “It is out of our hands.” “It is only a little bit uncomfortable.” “We can put up with some un-comfort.”

We are all saved by grace and going to heaven. We know the enemy will eventually win over and lead to the battle of Armageddon. So, Not to worry. Just let the enemy have its share of our territory. We don’t need to make any waves and be noticed or called radical freaks. “I’m saved.” “Let the dead burry their dead.” “Don’t bother me.” “I have enough problems of my own.”

This seemed to be the rout of least effort for most. But, then the economic collapse was revealed which we now find ourselves in. It seems that God is letting Satan pull off all stops to se what mettle we are made of. Will God’s chosen people take a stand now? Will we be strong and rise up?

Many strong prophetic utterances were spoken over Pastor Bagwell for his anointing as a Great and Powerful Profit of this present age. There were many visions spoken of an explosion of ministry and power that will emanate from Word of Life in the next few months. God is ready to do a might work; Prophet Bagwell will be the catalyst causing the movement.

The strong prophetic anointing over Pastor Bagwell was confirmed, setting him off as the leader of a new movement of the Mighty Power of the Holy Spirit. The call has gone out for the remnant to pull together and gather behind our “Jonathan”.

We, the remnant who have been faithful over the past year, have been called to be Prophet Bagwell’s armor bearers. We are to carry his load of weaponry up the steep slope to do battle with the enemy. We have been called to watch his back and fight by his side.

Together we will lay waste to many enemy; never forgetting that it is God who will give the total and complete victory.

It is for a time such as this that I was created. It is time to take a stand for righteousness that has been stripped from our nation. It is time to stand behind the new Prophet of our age.

Mighty things are about to happen through Word of Life in Lone Tree, Colorado. Stand back and wonder what has happened or become a part of the action and know. One stance will leave you dumfounded, the other awe struck. Which path do you choose?

1Sa 14:23 So the LORD saved Israel that day:

He will also save America if we act accordingly.

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Orizaba 2008

Posted on by

This is a writing about Orizaba, Mexico and was done as I looked at a picture like a post card scene which I took.

It is a picture of the Iron Building and mountains in downtown Orizaba, Mexico. What a beautiful building and scene.

Downtown Orizaba, Mexico
Downtown Orizaba, Mexico

This photograph is like a postcard from someplace exotic and romantic; someplace far away. The main building was given to the city by France and is made entirely of iron; it is called the iron building and now houses several city functions and a tourist bureau. It stands so erect and tall and towering over the rest around it.

The sky is blue which has not happened much since Enrique moved there, a fact which tormented Claudia to no end. But god opened the sky and let the radiant sun shine freely as we were there for the three days. It was like the Lords blessings on our visit, a sign of warmth coming from the far off land of Colorado. It was a unique blessing from the tres amigos that came to share gods love. We were able to impart some encouragement into the lives of the men of god working in the region.

In the background loom many mountains so blue and inviting, pristine and beautiful. The green in the picture seems extra green this day and enhances the sparkle of the picture. It was such a perfect day for a perfect photograph. Taking it came easily for me as I merely pushed a button and captured what was in front of me. This was inspired by god.

What a wonderful god we serve such a lord of all such a benevolent creator making all of this just to amuse his people; His people whom he loves intensely.

Joh 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

This scripture came to mind as I look at the picture of the tall beautiful building gracing the skyline of Orizaba. It makes me wonder, what will the mansions in heaven look like?

Propehtic Convocation

Prophetic Utterances – 2009

During the Prophetic Convoation of 2009 many prophetic utterances were given, both for Word of Life and for Pastor Bagwell. Many of these were clarifications of prophecies made last year.

There is one prophecy in particular that I remember vividly. Approximately a year ago Benjamin Arden was here for a Sunday morning and evening speaking engagement. This time of blessing ran into nearly a week long revival of sorts.

On one of those evenings Benjamin turned to Pastor Bagwell and said that as he was flying to America for this meeting, he had a vivid vision of something enormous happening at Word of Life. He saw the media and television cameras inside the church. There was a air of excitement, not about something horrible or tragic, but some movement of the Holy Spirit.

That was the jest of the vision. Something spectacular happening that involved the media and cameras and excitement. It was at this time that I knew that I wanted to be right in the middle of “that” happening. I felt that it was going to be an explosion of the movement of God in Denver through Word of Life.

So last Sunday evening, March 1st of 2009, Pastor Marco from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil had a prophecy that he imparted to Pastor Bagwell about television. He mentioned that his ministry was covered on television and that it was very expensive.

Pastor Marco mentioned that on one of his previous trips to America, that there was a time when he was able to watch some of our religious television broadcasts. He was not terribly impressed with the teachings and messages being given by these television evangelists.

In Marcos vision for Pastor Bagwell, he saw a new television ministry being broadcast from Lone Tree, Colorado; a ministry of prophecy and the renewed movement of the Holy Spirit being proclaimed by Prophet Bagwell.

This was not like anything currently being televised, nothing. Marco said that pastor Bagwell had a message that had to be taken to the world; it could not be ignored or left just for his church. He said this with fervency in his voice, like there was an impending disaster to be adverted if this message was shared with mankind.

Pastor Marco mentioned this several times to impart the importance that he received from the Holy Spirit. This is a task not to be taken lightly. He again mentioned the immense cost associated with nationwide television coverage.

WOW! In my heart I knew this was the completion and clarification of the vision Benjamin had received only a year ago.

Some of the other prophecies, both last year, and this year mentioned seeing people coming from far and wide, just turning into the parking lot. The people were being drawn in by the calling and presence of God.

Marco said that he saw the church open and accessible to anyone wanting to come 24 hours a day. He saw a constant presence of ministers and prayer warriors available to minister to the needs of the lost souls pouring into the church. He also saw the walls of Word of Life bursting at the seams. “No more room” he said.

What mighty things God are You about to perform through Pastor Bagwell and Word of Life church? What movement of Your Spirit has been imparted on this place just waiting to explode outward?

One thing that I know for sure; I want to be front row center for the unfolding of this miracle from God through the power of the Holy Spirit. My life has been ordained for this very moment, this hour, this day, this moment.

Hold on world for the revelation of new prophecies from the holy many of God, Pastor Bagwell. His reign as Your Prophet for our time was verified by many of the Eagles gathered together this week in February 2009. There remains no question about Pastor Bagwell’s anointing and office of Prophet.

As Jonathans armor bearer said to him in 1Samuel 14:7 “Do all that is in thine heart”. For the heart of this might prophet burns with the leading of the Holy Spirit. His proclamations shall ring out to all the ears of our great land.

So let us crawl along with Jonathan as he ascends the rocky steep hill to confront the Philistines in holly battle. Indeed there will be a battle, but short will be its life. God is with us and will rout the enemy as in days of old. The holy remnant will prevail and God’s blessing will once again return to America the free. To God be the glory.
