So I am in Peru with Dennis and Lynnie Walker and Carl Garitson from "Dunamis". http://www.dunamisarc.org/ The Walkers have lived in Peru many years and sown a lot into the people here, and come back every year to visit. They take turns preaching at meetings, and they all really emphasize moving in the power of God for signs and miracles and healings. They preach from the word and share testimonies, and demonstrate the power of God in whatever he wants to do in a particular meeting, and then find ways to activate the people and train them to listen to God, and ask him what he is doing in heaven and release it on earth. They call it getting an "initiative of heaven", and thats how they train believers to move in miracles flowing with the Holy Spirit. Like how Jesus says, "I only do what i see my Father doing and say what my Father is saying."
I am really blessed to be with them all this time, and getting extra training and encouraged in my faith, and being activated to move in the Spirit in a whole new level and learning how to activate others as well.
We first went to Chiclayo and Lambayeque (cities on the coast). We had meetings there Thursday and Friday, then I went by bus with Lynnie and Carl to Trujillo for meetings on Saturday and Sunday. Several people wanted to accept Jesus and prayed before the different activations to hear from God. Then Sunday night because we were in a hurry to finish the meeting and get back on the road to Chiclayo to fly out this morning, we did a 2 man fire tunnel, to have them receive impartation/blessing and after they went thru to give out to someone else a blessing/prayer/prophecy/testimony whatever God had given them/shared/shown them etc. They didn't really seem to catch on to that part of the activation much, but it was a good idea I want to remember for activation. She was demonstrating different ways we spend time receiving from God and then giving out, and that allows the Holy Spirit to flow. Establishing receiving the power of the Holy Spirit and whatever gifts/revelation he gives us, and then giving it out and blessing others. I don't think the people were used to the idea that they can receive something specific from God, and then be used as a blessing to others.
They did well when she activated them in prophecy by partnering them up and having them wait a minute to listen, then bless/prophecy or pray whatever God showed them. They were all hugging and crying after that. So I know that people actually blessed each other then. Also she had a word of knowledge to have people stand if they had back pain and then had whoever was next to them lay hands on their back and pray, and all 4 people who had stood afterward said that they experienced healing.
After the Sunday morning meeting, we went to the pastor's house for lunch. Every meal we have been treated so well, and had 3 course meals, very flavorful. And the famous ceviche 3 times in 2 days! Anyway, we went to the beach for a few minutes before lunch, awesome. Its desert and beach in Trujillo. At the end of the meal, the Pastor Rosi told me she had been having pain in her chest/breast the last several days and it was really bothering her. Then when we went to take a nap, I imagined a prophetic act to demonstrate God healing her (I caught an initiative of heaven, I saw what was being done in heaven so I could release it on earth). So after our nap, she mentioned hurting again, and I could tell she was really wanting prayer/healing. (Of course I was not really sure if it was my random imagination, or an actual idea from heaven of how God wanted to heal her, but I figured it was worth a shot that it might be God since he does like to heal and he likes to use my imagination, and I've been hearing all these crazy testimonies from this team of God using weird ideas from him (initiatives of heaven) to heal and perform whatever miracles he wants us to release on earth). So I showed her the idea God had given me, for her to act like she was wiping off the area of pain, and a rolling it into a ball in her hands, and flicking it off her hand. So she did and we laughed and said Amen. And rushed into the car for the evening meeting. After the meeting she said that the pain had gone and laughed about the way that God had healed her. Crazy.
Carl, who's been to Peru several times with Dunamis, is a really funny guy and even uses his limited Spanish to make jokes all the time. One of his catch phrases this week has been, "Are you expecting something?" (i.e. are you expecting God to do something powerful in your life? miracles or whatever you need?) At Carl's meeting Sunday night a paralyzed man stood up and walked and the small crowd went crazy. Carl didn't realize he had been paralyzed, just knew he needed some kind of miracle to walk and said to him, "are you ready? Are you expecting your miracle?" and took him by the hand and he stood up and walked!
Monday we flew over the Andes Mountains in a small plane from Lima to Huanuco.(so high!! so fast in a 45min flight which would take 8hrs on a bus ride thru the mountain roads). We had a little informal meeting with a lot of teenagers. This church seems more like family, a little closer to my tribe culture, and knows this ministry team better. Several were healed of neck and back pain, and even the common cold of all things! Haha, and several kids had a sign of oil showing up on their hands, and gold, and a little 6month old baby even had oil show up on her hands and all the teenagers got so excited about the baby, and the mom brought her up and was crying and saying that another year when Carl visited, he had prophecied that she would have a healthy baby after she had had two miscarriages and this was her baby, born healthy but having a lot of visits to hospital and she had come that night hoping for help and healing… So of course we blessed that beautiful little girl. It was super fun.
Today and Thursday we will be going for meetings in TingoMaria which will be totally different, its in the jungle part of the mountains a few hours drive from here.
Anyway, so yes, this trip is definitely a hijacking by God in my life. He is giving me tools and impartation I didn't even know how to ask for!
Here's some comments from Lynnie's and Carl's facebook posts, from part of the trip:
Sept. 13 Thurs. pm Dennis- Lambayeque, Peru
(Lynnie facebook)Great first meeting last night here in Lambayeque, Peru. Dennis preached and
had words of knowledge for bronchitis, lumps in breast, pain in right knee, injuries from
playing sports. Many responded, and many were healed or improved. At the altar call for
salvation, 40 came forward, including re-dedication. Carl had an initiative from heaven
for a teen (after saying 3x he was not better) to drink water. Suddenly he had a smile on
his face, as his throat-swallowing issue totally straightened out and he was healed! Yay,
God.
(Lynnie facebook) Sept. 14 Awesome meeting last night here in Peru. Salvations, healings,
baptism of Holy Spirit. One lady I ministered to had come forward for salvation, then got
bapitized in Holy Spirit, and then she showed me her hands full of oil. Two young men
were excited about gold glory dust on hands. There was a large youth dance team.
Today I take a bus with part of the team to Trujillo, while part stay here in Lambayeque/
Chiclayo. Yesterday we ate at someone's house. Ceviche, rice, beans, beef, and maracuya
juice. We rented a van here with no power steering. Edgar is getting a real workout.
From Carl facebook: "10 salvations, with instant baptisms in the Holy Spirit, deaf hear
approx. 7 people hear as i snapped my fingers all went out in the Spirit. vocal chords
healed. Diabetes healed but, time will tell after they test. All in all a very good meeting."
Lynnie: At an altar call for salvation where many responded, one of the ladies got saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, and immediately glory oil
flowed from her hands. After my session, I had the people practice soaking in the Spirit
to see and hear from Heaven. Sandra Zarate, who was one of the city pastors, shared that
she saw rain. Then it literally rained inside the building on one side. Andrea and Carl got
showered on. Even Carl's i-pad got wet! Meanwhile, Dennis
and team in Chiclayo had the glory fire fall on a huddle of people as they all went out
under the power of God. For two meetings! So Water and Fire from heaven. Carl and I
went to 2 separate churches on Sunday 2x. I finished with Andrea and I forming a tunnel
for the 200 or so to walk through and get impartation. We jumped in a car, rode 4 hours
to Chiclayo, slept a few hours, flew to Lima, then flew to Huanuco. Powerful meeting
last night: fragrance of heaven, healed necks and backs, oil and gold, including on a
baby's hand.
