Exciting Daze

Greetings Friends,

Yes, we've been a bit dazed by all the things God is doing and going to do. But we are very excited and burdened at the same time for the crises in our nation..

This past five days have been filled with manifestations of the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each day brought special gifts from Heaven.

KOREAN GROUP

Wednesday night we enjoyed a wonderful time with a mostly Korean group. How hungry and open they were to the words from God they received from our little prophetic team. It was so special to see how they responded with tears of joy.

MORE REVIVAL EXCITEMENT

On Thursday, we were back in Elgin at the Eagles Nest for continued revival meetings. We had a wonderful time of praise, prayer and ministry. During ministry time, many were praying for one another and using the gifts God had given them. We prayed for the V. P. debates. We prayed that God would reveal who was righteous and expose wickedness. We came home and watched the debate thanks to our DVR. We were very pleased and excited with what we saw.

COLGATE, WISCONSIN

On Friday, we headed up to Colgate, Wisconsin for a weekend Unspeakable Joy conference. We began with an evening of worship on Friday evening. After some worship people were invited to come forward. We were asked to minister to them. The Holy Spirit blasted most of them and they spent a lot of time soaking. One elders wife had a very special heavenly experience. But that was just the beginning.

On Saturday we had meetings in the morning, afternoon and evening. In the afternoon, Brenda spoke to the ladies while I shared with the men. Of course, Brenda was prophesying a good part of the time. People were rather blown away and rejoicing and weeping as usual.

I shared the importance of the coming elections and how God wants to bless if we fast and pray and seek His face and do everything we can to elect leaders that value life and righteousness. God gave me a strong anointing to share some biblical truths relating to this subject. Being in Wisconsin, a swing state in the election was a great privilege for me as I believed God would use me to stir people up to pray and seek God's face asking for mercy for this nation.

MY FAVORITE MOMENT OF THE WEEKEND

We did lots of ministry throughout the weekend, but my highlight came on Saturday evening. We were praying for people at the front of the sanctuary and a precious ten-year-old girl was brought to me for prayer. She had hurt her hand and wrist doing handstands. She was in a lot of pain.

I put my hands on her wrist. I asked Jesus to please show His love to her and heal her. When I finished she said the wrist was feeling OK but there was a lot of pain in her fingers and she couldn't really open them without pain. Again, I held her fingers and just asked Jesus to please take the pain away and heal her.

I began to pry open her fingers and then she began to open them all the way. Tears started coming out of her eyes. In my great faith (not), I thought she was crying because she was in pain. But it didn't look like tears of pain. I asked her, "Are you crying because you are happy?"

She nodded her head. She was totally healed, opening and closing her hands and hugging her mom. It was one of the most precious moments in ministry. It wasn't raising the dead or healing cancer, but it was a little special token of the love of Jesus and I rejoice in being a part of it. This morning, she was still completely healed. Thank you, Jesus!

SUNDAY MORNING.

I believe another gal was healed of stiffness in the neck this morning when we prayed. It was another exciting meeting with many people coming forward for a touch from Jesus and many people staying for a couple of extra hours to get a word through Brenda. It was about a five hour service.

REMINDERS

Revival meetings continue in Elgin Thursday - Saturday.

Our team is also hosting twice a month gatherings the second and fourth Thursdays of every month and house fellowship gatherings on the first and third Sundays of the month. For more info please contact Mary Zell at maryz@ellenoaks.com, or Val Coltman at rwcoltman@gmail.com.

The last weekend of the month will be one of the busiest ever. HUB will be hosting Heidi Baker and others. Brenda does a Lutheran ladies retreat. And Michele Perry is coming for the weekend and will be ministering at the Eagles Nest on Friday, Saturday and Monday. She will be at 5 C Church in Rockford on Sunday morning. It will be an incredible feast, but we'll have to pick and choose where we can be.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading this long letter.

Blessings in Jesus' love,

Ben, Brenda family and team
