The trip to Iquitos included a red eye and a long layover in Lima. A young woman on my flight was having trouble communicating with airport personnel, so I offered to help her. I showed her around the airport, and we struck up a conversation. She shared her life story, which had some severe tragedy of losing a child, and I shared Jesus with her. I rarely even talk to people on a flight or in an airport, but I was happy to share Jesus and breakfast with her. That was a great start to the trip.
Iquitos is one of my favorite destinations. I have many relationships with people in that city, and seeing everyone was great. I spoke to a men's group, I spoke at a men's breakfast, I spoke to the youth, I spoke to leaders, I taught two workshops on finding your life mission, and I gave away 30 copies of my workbook to help people find and live their life mission. I also got to speak at a gym and bring the message of caring for your spiritual health and fitness as well as the message of the love of God for them. I love doing that stuff! Most of them were not Christians, and what I said was very well received. After that, they killed me with a crazy workout!
I spoke at Foursquare Iquitos Sunday morning; as usual, it was a wonderful response. I talked about surrender, and about 80% of the church responded to the call to get free from everything that hinders us, including all God wants and has for us. We saw some wonderful healings and loved on many people.
Next was Lima, and I saw so many friends there. I spoke at a pastor's conference for three days, which was fantastic! The very challenging things I said were very well received. I also gave a financial seminar for three nights. Before the seminar's end, a man testified of a financial miracle in his business! It was fantastic. I spoke at the youth night on Holy Spirit as we prayed for the baptism and spoke prophetically over many. I got to reconnect with a young lady who had been an interpreter for a mission team I brought years ago. She needed some love from a father figure, and I was glad to encourage her. I am still coaching her online as she is coming back to Jesus in a fresh way. The Sunday morning service was fantastic, with over 20 people receiving physical healing. I activated the congregation to minister healing to each other. I invited those who needed further prayer forward and ministered for almost two hours after the service ended. The hunger is terrific!
I am honored to bring the wisdom and revelation of God to many, but more than that, I love loving people. It's like a switch that gets flipped when God wants me to convey His love and care for people. Speaking confidence and faith in people, especially younger people, is crucial. It is such an honor to be able and equipped to do so. I am sure God prepared me with many of my children, but I strongly feel this is an anointing. It is a gift and calling from God. So many never had a dad hug, love, or speak life into them. I love doing it, even to older people! You, too, have an anointing. Work within it. Use it! It is life to others and life to your own souls.
