We recently returned from our first trip to the nation of Brazil. We have had a burden and desire to visit Brazil for several years and on November 8^th we boarded a plane to see that desire realized. Each time we visit a new nation we are so thankful to the Lord for the open door to visit some more of His precious people and see heaven invade darkness. The Lord certain did not disappoint in Brazil.

When you travel the nations on a trip such as this one, there are so many wonderful aspects and dynamics that are worth mentioning. Many times we in ministry focus and report on all the miracles, deliverances and salvations that happen, and that is really good. I will be sharing some of those same testimonies a moment. It is extremely important that we testify and declare what the Lord is doing, but I want to start this report something a little different.

One of the most meaningful and wonderful parts of a trip such as this is the relationships that are born and/or nurtured in the Presence. God has so blessed and is blessing us with so many wonderful, rich relationships in this nation and the nations of the world. We are so hungry to see the world transformed by the power of the Gospel of the Kingdom, we never want to downplay that in anyway. It’s just that the more we do with God, we realize a wonderful nugget that is at the very heart of The Father…”We don’t have to and should not do this alone.” God has called us to be a family in the earth and heaven. The church is a living organism, not an institution. A family is made up of relationships that are so real, that each member would gladly lay down their life for the other. Each member celebrates more in the success of another than their self. It like this, together we can do more damage to the power of darkness that we ever thought of doing alone. So when God gives us another life giving, holy wonderful relationship, I see the potential of the unleashing of God’s love, and love never fails and conquers all. God is raising up an radical army, a radical family that will move with one heart in the earth and heavens. The enemies battle plan from the beginning has been to “divide and conquer”. He knows if he can keep us separated and scattered, he can buy some time. We need to pursue the unity of the Family of God in a supernatural manner. What I mean by that is we need to testify and declare not only in the miracles we see, but also in the miracle of the Kingdom born relationships and culture that He is releasing in this hour. We need to nurture this culture, guard and protect it from the divisions of the enemy. I believe this is why Paul spent so much time in his letters on the subject. It’s the great mystery…”one new man”.

In Brazil, we saw hundreds come to the alter for first time salvations and recommitments to Christ. We saw literally thousands visibly tangibly touched by the power of the Love of God. We saw the mighty River of God flood the entire building with thousands soaking in the life giving water of God. We had a healing service that we could only get through the first two testimonies before people started coming down, rushing the platform to receive their miracle. Heaven only knows how many miracles happened and lives where changed forever. We anticipate a flood of testimonies in the weeks to come. I want to emphasize that we so value all these miracles and salvations that happened,  I feel like weeping just thinking about them. They are wonderful and should never loose their wonder and amazement to us. And in the midst of all of this, the Holy Spirit is highlighting something more. This something more is not “instead of” salvation and miracles, but “because of”. What I mean is this, God is bringing together His family in such a supernatural way, preparing her to reap the greatest harvest that has ever been seen since the earth and heavens were. The family and household of God is being readied and prepared to release the healing, the delivering, and saving power of God’s love in such an awesome way, bring in the greatest harvest the world has ever seen. So let’s pay attention to and embraced those life giving, supernaturally born relationships that the Lord is giving us in this hour. They are the key to our full inheritance as a family being released and to the Lord getting the fullness of His. Together we can put tens of thousands to flight. We are unstoppable as one. May His richest blessing and grace overtake you all.
