Jaws And The American Dollar











As in the Jaws film where the unsuspecting swimmers are attacked by a huge shark, I saw swimmers gingerly swimming across the ocean blue. Huge sharks approached them from behind. The life guard who was a Christian prophet got up from his chair and blared out the warning of an impending attack. The swimmers were deaf and continued to swim on. These sharks were weird, though. They had the nose or snout of the a pig. They would approach the swimmers from behind and hit them with their snouts, but did not attack them. Because the sharks had not attacked, but simply butted the swimmers with the their noses, the former continued to feel safe, though many large sharks were in the waters.

As more and more sharks came unto the scene, the Christian life guard not only got up again and screamed, but got a megaphone and repeatedly uttered his voice onto the waters.

Suddenly the attack came. It happened in seconds. It was not an attack of carnage and blood. It was more one like countless household fuses massively short circuiting all at once. I could not see the sharks attack but I saw a mass and instantaneous short circuiting and explosive electronic power traverse across the waters.

I immediately saw the dollar sign and knew that it had to do with the demise of the American dollar and our economy. Every swimmer appeared dead as he or she floated head down, and back exposed in the ocean waters. Fortunately, there had been no carnage and the swimmers were not dead. They were all unconscious. The impact of the sudden electronic attack had rendered them unconscious.

Watchman Nee, the great Chinese apostle said that the only way to save a drowning man is to allow him to go unconscious and then he can be pulled safely out of the water. If a person attempts to save a drowning person when he is still kicking and flaying, both him and the one drowning will be pulled down to their deaths. So it is with a soul who does not know the Lord. While he is still arguing, and debating, and challenging the power and love of God, it is futile in many ways to continue to talk to him. We must wait until the circumstances of life and the folly of his own sins render him unconscious and then we can bring him to Christ.

I suspect from this that the demise of our dollar and economy which will render many unconscious, in hopelessness, distraught, and turmoil will prepare this country for a mighty revival of religion in Jesus Christ.

How Do I Host a South Florida Healing Meeting At My Home or Church?














The Lord has called Mary and I to to commence weekend healing meetings in the power of Jesus Christ throughout South Florida homes, bible studies, and churches. We are doing this through our regular ministry, Safari Through the Word. We feel that these meetings will help spur the revival fire which God is beginning to fan out through South Florida. 

We have been in the healing ministry for a number of years including several in East Africa.

We still have our regular healing meetings at Doral Vineyard Church every Thursday at 7:30PM.

These weekend meetings are more geared towards people who might not be able to go to church, or simply do not come to church.


We had our first one last Saturday at a Doral Gardens Condo. It was very powerful. 


Generally it is pretty simple.

You invite your friends, saved, or unsaved, who would want to receive ministry, prayer for healing, or prophecy. These meetings are totally led by the Holy Spirit.

The time of 7:00PM seems to work well. Mary and I will come to your home or church about 15 minutes before that. We don't finish late so that people can go to church on Sunday. The time can be altered to fit the needs of your home or church. 


All that is really needed in terms of beverages is bottled water. At this type of a meeting, coffee and food is not advised because it it time consuming, distracting, and a burden on the host.

A CD player with some worship CD's is always an important factor.


If you feel led to take up an offering for our ministry that is up to you. We suggest it and it is always appreciated.


We also give out out some of our business cards for those who would want to contact us.


That is about it. God really moves in many wonderful ways and everybody gets touched.

Please contact us if you are interested in hosting a healing meeting at your home or Bible study.

The Renewed Mind is the Birthing and Hatching Ground of God's Kingdom


The great purpose of renewing of our minds in Christ is to be able to create the kingdom of God into our lives progressively from our imaginations.

Romans 4: 3And Abraham believed God, and this was placed to his credit as righteousness.

God’s righteousness is defined as the manifestation, tangibility or the manifest reality of God’s kingdom within our lives. Just in the same way that we deposit or credit money into our bank accounts, we deposit and credit the tangible reality of God’s kingdom into our every day’s lives by simply believing what we are asking for. This is because faith is a law.

Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

A law tells us that specific circumstances will trigger specific results. If a police catches you speeding, the circumstances of your speeding car will trigger a ticket from him. According to your faith, you can trigger the manifested realities of God’s kingdom to be deposited as part of your every day existence.

Your everyday reality is made up of things or objects. The world around you is full of objects. These objects make up the existence of your life. A thing or an object is an entity that stands up by itself. It has shape, form, smell, appearance, etc. Important attributes of an object are that they stand alone, exist alone, and have an influence upon our life independently of any another object within our reality. The kingdom of God is full of things and objects that make up the reality of His kingdom. One of the things which is different about the kingdom of God to the one which we live in is that it is invisible, and the objects and entities which make it up are also invisible.

Colossians 1:16 For in Him was created the universe of things in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, thrones, dominions, princedoms, powers—all were created, and exist through and for Him.
As you can see there are invisible things or entities in God’s heavenly kingdom.

If we are to live in the fullness of God’s kingdom, then we must be able to access the invisible entities or objects of His kingdom living in the reality and the influence that emanates from them.

A Christian must be a birther or creator. He or she must be constantly birthing the invisible objects of the heavenly kingdom and living by faith from their reality and influence.

The purpose of a renewed mind which is free from limitations, doubt, confusion and unbelief is its ability to first birth the objects of God’s kingdom in its imaginations. The renewed mind in the realm of its imaginations is the birthing or hatching ground for the invisible objects of God’s kingdom.

Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
Part of what Paul tells above about serving the law of God with the mind is its ability to birth the objects which make up God’s kingdom into its imaginations.

Because of the law of faith, the more that we can birth in our imaginations the invisible objects of God’s kingdom the more that we can access them and then credit or deposit them into the reality of our everyday world, altering our very existence.

The objects of God’s kingdom are ever increasing, ever abounding, they are without measure, and they transcend the impossibilities of this life. The renewed mind in the realm of our imaginations is the birthing and hatching ground of the invisible things of God’s kingdom. Our faith deposits them into our everyday lives. Slowly by slowly our existence changes into one which all things are possible.

2 Corinthisns 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

In the verse above Paul describes for us the process of renewing the mind. It is of utmost importance that the word for imaginations is the same root word found in Romans 4 that means to credit or deposit. Our imaginations are the means of depositing the objects of God’s kingdom into our every day
reality.

The Navajo Nation Prophetic Conference

The Lord performed so many dynamics on our trip to the Navajo Nation Prophetic Conference in Farmington, New Mexico, that it is impossible to put everything down on paper. It is best to let the pictures tell their own stories.

Whenever individuals step out in faith to minister, it is not only those whom they minister to who become transformed but the very ministers themselves. To be able to witness true unity, love, joy, and oneness between the “the white man” and “the red man” in Christ Jesus is a huge testimony to the redeeming power of God in His Son Jesus Christ.

God willing, in December I will be going back to Kenya and be a participant in two very important annual conferences. The first one is “The School of Fire Conference” in Maasai Land from December 1st-6th and “The Africa Gathering of Champions” from the 7th-13th. Both of these conferences are attended by hundreds of people.

We pray that you enjoy all of the great things which Jesus accomplished through the eyes of the camera lens.

By clicking on the "the title of the blog" "The Navajo Nation Prophetic Conference" you will be automatically directed to the Picasa web album. It can be viewed as individual pictures or as a slide show.

Safari Through the Word Ministries is a 501C3 tax exempt ministry registered with the State of Florida. We issue tax receipts at the year’s end for your tax deductions. Our ministry is faith based. The extent of our projects to the last of the least of God's peoples is limited by the money which comes in to us.
