Ancients Paths Newsletter - Volume 2
Holiday Greetings From: RESTORING NATIONS INTERNATIONAL
Dear Friends and Family:
It has been a simply amazing year and as we close out 2007, I wanted to update you on a few of the events RNI had the privilege to be involved in. I hope you will enjoy reading about the incredible journey God has taken us on this year.
2007 UPDATE….
April
I was invited to participate in the Assembly ‘07 sponsored by the Rock Church in Virginia Beach. It was a powerful time as an Episcopal Priest washed my feet to offer forgiveness for what the church had done to the Native people. It was an awesome time in the Lord and I know that breakthroughs came as a result of that foot washing ceremony.
May
I was invited by Pastor Ron Johnson to minister at Bethel Temple. It was a wonderful time of revelation with Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce. God had me speak on what He is doing in Indian country and their role in the end time revival. Dr. Wellington Boone taught on Saturday morning with more incredible truths from the Word of God.
June
Wow, 2007 has been an incredible year in the Lord. We have witnessed the outpouring of God’s spirit in Indian Country as never before at the eastern gate. What a privilege it has been to be a part of all that God is doing in this end time. He is restoring all things and a part of my own restoration took place when Dr. Juan Lopez, Chancellor for the Latin American University, bestowed upon me an honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree for my work in reconciliation. It was a wonderful ceremony of all my close friends and family. My appreciation and many thanks to Drs. Juan and Irene Lopez along with the president of the Latin American University for such a memorable moment in my life.
With the opening of the Eastern Gate at the Arise Mighty Warrior Conference, reconciliation took place between Spain and other countries and the First Nations people from the US and Canada for the sins of our forefathers at Christopher Newport University.
Then during a weeklong revival held at World Outreach Worship Center, a procession of Native men carried the “Ark of the Covenant” down the isle and crossed over the Jordan into the promised-land. The First Nations people experienced an incredible release.
Then on to Arise America Saturday with Pastors Wade and Lisa Trump from Jamestown Christian Fellowship in Williamsburg, VA., where God brought in all the Nations of the earth and unified us under the Power of One.
August
Then Pastor Wade, Rabbi Eric Carlson of For Zion Sake in Newport News, Va., participated in the Holy Spirit Gathering at Strawberry Lakes Christian Retreat in MN., hosted by Pastors Gabriel and Laura Ward of the Body of Christ Church in Indio, CA. and Pastor Gerald Gerstein, owner of the Retreat. We met at the headwaters of the Mississippi River and renewed covenant with God and the First Nations people from east to west. We built a bridge of unity across the country so we would no longer be divided as a nation and cleansed the Mississippi River.
The day after we performed those prophetic acts, they had to open the flood gates in southern MN., to let the water out. Yes, it began to rain fiercely and flood down the middle of the country that following week. God was cleansing our country of its sin and manifesting in the natural what had already happened in the spirit.
We went on to Blaine, MN., where I preached at the Way of the Lord Church with Pastor Larry Alberts. Their church has been in revival for 10 months and it was a marvelous thing to experience the power of God poured out on the children. There was reconciliation between the First Nations people and the government as well as the church leaders. Wow, how amazing He is!
The worship there was through the roof and the children are just as much a part of the praise and worship as anyone else. There was such a spirit of liberty present and all were free to do whatever God wanted them to. In this environment we saw young people singing, dancing and prophesying under the anointing. This is what God wants for every church. This is what He is calling us to in this hour because it is the anointing that destroys the yolk and sets the captives free.
Many churches are in captivity but they are not even aware of it. How can they set others free, if they are not free themselves? We witnessed many miracles as Rabbi Carlson, broke the shame and reproach off the Native people from what they had been through. He said the enemy had tried to steal their identity, take away the sacred dances and musical instruments that God had given them to praise Him with, because Satan knew the spiritual power they had. Rabbi told them that Satan knew the authority they have on the land and also what their destiny meant for him.
We saw a total transformation of their countenance right before our very eyes and they took on the faces of warriors dancing in the spirit with a new sense of purpose and destiny. They consecrated their instruments to the Lord and began to praise and dance.
There was even a pipe carrier from one of the local tribes that came and he was confused about his new Christianity that did not allow the pipe and yet he knew how powerful it was. Pastor Gabriel asked him to bring it to the altar and consecrate it to God. Upon doing so he smoked the pipe to seal the covenant we made at the headwaters. It was truly a miracle of restoration.
Wow, what a trip! It was such a powerful time in the Lord. We spent so much time in the spirit while we were there, that I had a very difficult time returning to the physical realm when I got home.
October
I appeared on Pastor Wade Trump’s television ministry, Voice of Unity, which televises all over the Tidewater area.
November
The Lord told me that the Western Gate had to be opened. The week before I left He told me that there was so much spiritual pressure against the Western door that it had caused the earthquake and the wild fires in Southern California.
On Tuesday night when I spoke at Pastor Ward’s church, I began telling this revelation to the congregation and the Lord told me that when the Western gate was opened, it would cause a “Back draft” through the country. He also told me that there was a tsunami coming to the east coast.
After we left the service, Rabbi told us that he had received from the Lord that we should go to a high place and re-establish covenant. We discussed doing it the next day and went to our rooms. I could not stop thinking about the word “Back draft” the Lord had given me. What did it mean? I was so curious and knew there was more revelation in the definition. Sharon Miller, my host for the week went on her computer and pulled off the definition for me. Here’s the definition from the internet, I was astounded:
A back draft occurs when a fire has been starved of oxygen. The ashes, which appear to be cold, actually release gases that build up pressure. A fireman can always tell when a back draft is present because it will cause a vibration at the door and all around it will be flaming hot. Once oxygen is introduced, the coals will violently re-ignite and with the gases, which have been released, will cause an explosion, which is very dangerous. The only way to prevent a dangerous back draft is to ventilate from the highest points.
My Interpretation:
The Lord said to me, there have been many fires through the years but they all eventually die out due to a lack of the breath of God. We thought that the fires had all died but they have been simply laying dormant releasing gases until a new breath of God can be introduced. Once the western gate is opened, the breath of God will cause a violent ignition of His holy fires all across America. In order to prevent an explosion that could adversely affect the new movement of the spirit, we are required to ventilate from the highest points.
The next day when I shared the definition, Pastor Gabriel told us that one of the highest points in the area was a place called Devil’s Mountain. He told us stories that came from the old ones about an evil force that lived on that mountain top, so we knew what we had to do.
We went up 11,000 ft. above the valley floor and re-established covenant with God. Pastor Gabriel opened the western gate and Rabbi blessed the gate and we buried covenant scriptures in the ground. I released the breaker anointing God had given us for the eastern gate and it was a powerful time in the Lord. The western gatekeepers sang their ancient songs and danced in celebration of the renewed covenant.
God was pleased with our work there because He rewarded us in the evening service. That night, Pastor Gabriel’s church was packed to overflow capacity and he called the men forward to do the warrior dance for the healing of their nations. The anointing was so powerful that I could hardly get up front where they were dancing without being slain in the spirit. There again we saw this wonderful spirit of liberty setting people free and it was a beautiful thing to witness. It appears that God is sending forth the spirit of Liberty first to make the way for the fire to fall.
We are looking for God in one way and He is showing up in other ways. I hope we don’t miss Him because He doesn’t look like we think He should!
Where He is, there is liberty!
This update wraps up 2007 for us here at Restoring Nations International. I want to close out this year in thanksgiving, being very grateful for the establishment of the ministry and its vision for the future.
First, I would like to thank the Father for being the sovereign God that He is and I give Him all the praise honor and glory for 2007 and what has been accomplished.
Secondly, I would like to offer a special thanks to Pastor Bob Collins and all my family at World Outreach Worship Center, in Newport News, VA., for everything they have done to help with the Arise Mighty Warrior Conference and all that I have been able to do through RNI.
In addition, I would like to thank Rabbi Eric Carlson and his congregation at For Zion Sake for all they have done to support my ministry to the Native Americans and for being the key to our healing.
I also give thanks to my brother Wade Trump and Jamestown Christian Fellowship for their encouragement, prayers and support of my work through RNI and allowing me to be a part of their vision for unity.
Lastly, I would like to thank all of you who have supported us through prayer and financial contributions, which enabled us to do this very important work in 2007.
I can’t wait to see what God is going to do in 2008 (the year of new beginnings) with the foundation we have laid. Without your support, none of the wonderful things you have just read about could have been accomplished. You become just as much a part of this work as I am when you partner with Christ to bring about His will on earth, even as it is in heaven.
Have a blessed Holy Season and may God richly bless you for all that you do to empower the work of the kingdom, pressed down, shaken together and running over, in the mighty name of Yeshua our Lord and Savior, Amen.
2008 - Upcoming Revival on the Navajo Reservation in April.
I’ll keep you posted.
May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob bless, keep and protect you, in Jesus name!
