What we’ve been up to!
After spending the summer relentlessly doing outreach in several north Tulsa and east Tulsa apartments, this fall we shifted gears and began to hold bible studies in these apartments where we’ve seen countless salvations, healings, deliverances and the longing of people’s hearts to fill the great commission in their own communities. We are hoping to continue loving and working with these communities to get them where they have their own fellowship and are beginning to reach those that live in their apartments!
We believe that God is bringing down walls of division in Sapulpa and that revival is now as the body of Christ truly comes together as living stones, creating the true temple unto our Lord As Levi traveled to Brazil with another ministry called Global Gospel Action where they saw over 1,000 church members from all different church members gather to be trained and equipped so that they could reach the lost and truly come together in the name of Jesus! Through a 3 night crusade where 20,000 people gathered we saw over 5,000 salvations, countless miraculous healings, and hundreds upon hundreds that were set free from demonic oppression! Levi joined them in multiple high schools where we saw so many high school students touched by the presence of God and a fatherless generation began to find their identity as sons and daughters in Christ Jesus! Many of these students already facing addiction, violence, prostitution, encountered the love of christ and were saved and set free!
Many students were empowered and stirred up in their gifts to reach their generation with the Gospel! We were able to join up with a ministry and local church in Piedras Negras, Mexico where we joined in their prayer and worship night, held a men’s meetings, Levi delivered a message Sunday morning that stirred their faith in evangelism, followed by taking them out into the streets Sunday afternoon where we set up in the local plaza and worshipped our King, preached the Gospel, saw souls saved, and watched as the church became empowered in reaching their city for Jesus! We are looking forward to visiting them frequently and helping them keep the flame ignited in living out the great commission! This was our third year to join up with Oh Yeah Missions in Atoka, Oklahoma for their 3 cities, 3 days, 1 mission! Where we trained and equipped youth and adults and then take them to the surrounding rural cities with the mission that every ear would hear the Gospel! These guys are truly setting the pace of what we are each called to do of going and preaching the gospel and making disciples! We saw salvations, we saw miraculous healings where even one elderly lady got her hearing back to hear the word that was being preached, where she was totally deaf before, she was able to hear and acknowledge the message! God is moving and using people like Oh Yeah Missions to reach the Rural communities and save America!
Joining up with Phillip Renner Ministries we took a team to Colorado where we gained private access to the state capital building and we worshipped, prayed and took communion for about 3 hours and we believe prophetically cleansed the Capitol of Colorado starting at the leadership to see this state changed! We then set up and worshipped on the Denver University campus, where once again we saw God move in power as souls were saved, set free, and delivered as students came forward wanting the Holy Spirit in boldness they were baptized in the Holy Spirit. We learned from the college administrators that nobody has done this before, so we are now believing for access to routinely do outreach here through the connections made! We set up and did street worship in Boulder, Fort Collins, Breckinridge , and Aspen all in which God moved in 56 salvations total, many healings, and many deliverance! This has helped stir up the local body in those areas to continue to take their city for Jesus and to raise up other bold warriors in the faith that understand that all evangelism flows from the place of intimacy with the Father! We are so happy to have made our second visit to Omaha, Nebraska to visit our HouseFire family who is truly raising up a multigenerational body of believers that are breaking out of religion and running after Jesus with all they have. It was a bonus that our good friends Brennan and Kiley Joseph from MBL worship and EveryHeart came to lead us in worship and give us a word about identifying the spirit of religion in our own lives! There is truly a move of God happening in Omaha and we are excited to be apart of helping stir those gifts up in our brothers and sisters and equipping them for the work of the Church!
The Night of Unity
This September we held our second annual Night Of Unity where we saw believers come together, churches and ministries lay down their differences and come together in the name of Jesus, proclaiming Jesus is Lord of Sapulpa, Oklahoma. In this we saw pastors link arms and pray together for the welfare of this city! Even in this gathering to unite the body of Christ for one purpose, which is to know Christ and make Christ known, we saw the kingdom of Heaven advance as several souls came to know Jesus and found freedom from the torment they were living in! All of this was fulfilling a prophecy over 100 years old from a group of radical believers, some of who are still walking this earth as they believed that Sapulpa would be the birthplace of a new Jerusalem, and they persevered in prayer gatherings throughout our city for years, some of whom still are.
Thank you to everyone who came and participated and helped make this possible!
Testimony!
One encounter that has been dear to our heart over these last few months was a lady whose door we knocked on to share the gospel and pray with her and as we talked to her we learned that she was homeless and addicted a year ago and that a local church had helped her get into this house, but she was struggling mentally and physically, even spiritually she was feeling down. We learned that she had a stroke this summer and lost some physical abilities, even her right hand was drawn up and she was unable to use it. As we talked to her about what Christ did on the cross for her, she acknowledged that she was a believer and has fully surrendered but that she was struggling so we reminded her what the word says about who she is in Christ! After having a brief conversation and her faith being stirred up, we asked if we could pray for healing in her body, she agreed and it was at this moment that one of our youth was called over as we felt the anointing rested upon her in this moment. As she approached the women began to cry, you could tangibly feel the presence of God in the air, the women began to weep, and before this teen began to approach, the women through tears said “ I can feel it, I can feel the presence of God, I can feel that he’s about to heal me”. As the youth laid hands and began to pray, she called out all the symptoms revealed to her by the Holy Spirit, in the middle of this prayer the women stretched out her hand, stretched out her fingers and moved her hand, she stretched out and stomped her feet, her hand was healed, her balance was healed, the dizziness and mental fog was gone in Jesus name. Jesus touched her and completely restored her! This was a powerful moment for our team and we celebrated and rejoiced in all that God has done! What makes the story even greater is that we recently received a phone call stating that this women reached out to the local ministry in that city saying she wanted to get a message to the father and daughter that prayed for her, she said she has been totally healed since that day. Not only that, but that all of her children are now addiction free, and are planning to have a gathering to celebrate her daughters wedding, where the mother is the one baking the cake and doing something that she has not been able to do for years! God gets all the glory, all the honor and all the praise for his healing touch, his redeeming power that not only healed this women’s body but broke 30 years of addiction off of this family! They are now celebrating and lifting up the name of King Jesus!
