Hello Dear Friends!!
So, I am writing this time with a brief, but powerful praise and prayer request! This is a tremendous story that needs many words to describe, but I have to condense for time's sake.
Basically, on Saturday night as our family was finishing dinner, we noticed some 'tourist' looking people at the wharf. MIke went to see if they needed any assistance. It turns out that they were from Malaysia, and were trying to find a boat to the nearby island, Taveuni. They had been told there would be an evening ferry, which wasn't true, because the only ferry leaves at 10:30 am.
In a bit of a dilemma, and not sure what to do, the visitors started to question us about the Mission and our faith. After a brief conversation, the young woman in the group exclaimed, 'We have found our people!!'. We didn't know what this meant, but were happy to get to meet these believers from Malaysia.
A friend of ours, Mesaki, offered to help them find a captain and boat to take them from another village to Taveuni. I told them if they couldn't get a boat, that we would make room for them at our place. It turned out they had some time to wait around, and needed to use our internet to confirm flight details and we were able to get to know these mysterious visitors a bit more. They were actually on a 'prayer walk' (flight, ride:) through Fiji. The Lord had sent them to Fiji for one purpose. To pray for the soon arriving outpouring of the Holy Spirit!!!
They have been on prayer missions for the last several years. This was a Mother, Daughter and 2 Son team that travel just to pray, and sometimes teach. Often other believers join them, but this particular mission was just their family. The 'kids' must be around 30 or so. Would you believe that in their teens, the children decided to homeschool themselves and became the FIRST homeschooled kids in Malaysia?? And God brought them to our tiny little bay in Fiji.
So, it turns out that they only needed to go to Taveuni for a couple hours to pray. How strange that boat captain thought they were. A 10 pm to 1 am boat trip for a bunch of prayer warriors. He told me himself that he was sure they were up to no good:) Then they came back and prayed a couple more hours at our cafeteria with one of the local guys, who had ridden on the boat ride to Taveuni and decided to join them for the prayer walk. His name is Kula. Pray for him to accept the call that God has placed on him!
Following this prayerful, sleepless night, our new friends slept in the boy's bunks for a few hours of sleep before awakening to join us for a late breakfast and some amazing conversation.
The Lord has been using a company of believers in Malaysia to take the land for Christ. Muslims are having visions of Jesus, and being converted. Victories are being made in the spiritual realm, which have spilled in to every area of politics, education, etc. They have been sent in to very dangerous areas, where no one should be able to go, and God shuts the eyes of the military guards, etc, and lets them in. They have seen the heavenly host, and heard angels singing on these very isolated and dangerous trips. I know it sounds outrageous but if you met them , you would believe it. Love, peace, and joy just exuded out of the 4 of them!!
So, the very exciting conclusion of it all is that the Lord has spoken to them about Fiji. God is coming to 'take Fiji'. They believe that the glory of the Lord will be restored to Fiji, and that an outpouring of the Spirit like at Pentecost will be coming. They told us that we are 'right on time' to serve here. The Lord is calling the 'Generation Y' (our youth thru age 38) to be the workers to prepare for the final great and glorious harvest.
They laid hands on Mike, and prophesied over him and it was amazing. Many things they prayed they could not have known God has already been speaking to Mike. Words that Mike had just spoken to me the day before were being prayed over him. It was incredible. Please pray for Mike, as he accepts this call to be a 'Moses'. To preach the Word, and the fullness of the 'Torah', bringing repentance to the nation, and to the church, which has accepted so much compromise.
Joyce, the young woman, was sharing with us, that she had been asking the Lord why the tribal people are so ready for the Spirit to fall, but so many English speaking groups don't receive the full blessing. He responded that there is so much compromise in the church, that there are too many 'Annanias and Sapphiras' and too few Peters. No one is willing to stand for him, and many would be dead on the floor.
They prayed the Spirit of Elijah upon Mike, and pronounced that he will be making way for the second coming of the Lord, when Christ will reign as King.
Words can not describe the whole experience. Here were 4 believers sent by the Lord to speak to us, and encourage us. When they were walking on the wharf near us, the Lord told them that his people were here. They asked, where Lord? And then we approached them. How wonderful it is to know that we now have family in Malaysia! And that the Father is answering our cries for the Holy Spirit.
He is alive and well, and seeking to touch all of your lives as well. I encourage you all to prepare your hearts for his presence, even more as the Day is fast approaching.
May the Lord bless you, and keep you, May the Lord make his face shine upon you and give you peace,
To Adonai be the Glory,
Sara
