Victory

Jeremiah 4: 5

"Declare in Judah and publish in Jerusalem and say: Blow the trumpet in the land; cry aloud and say: Assemble youselves, and let us go into the fortified cities."

Glory to God for the prophetic sound!!!
The Lord opens the way, he clears the path,and with the sound of the Shofar declare victory,wich is announced in heaven and on earth!.
Give thanks to God, because this sound of triumph is reaching us and by doing so we become part of what God is doing in Europe. This challenges us every day, to have our senses alert to His Spirit, to listen and act with the support of His anointing over our lifes.
May the Lord give us the capacity to see the heavens open, to be excited of what's gonna happen, to feel His rain coming to our land,and His manifested presence covering us with fire and power.
This way every obstacle we encounter will be defeated.

It has begun

Yesterday we had sort of a day of rest. During the afternoon , God started to move very strongly. We were in the car on our way back and God took us to pray in tongues.Then a big anointment came over us while we were still in the car. We got off the car and kept on praying. Then I was asked to play the Shofar , so I went to the balcony and played, and it was amazing.I could feel I was playing it somehow different from all other times, that's the Holy Spirit who came and inspired it.Then pastor Netto was telling me about how he saw angels lifting their hands as a sign of victory. After that sister Raquel started prophesying, saying "it has been opened and it won't be closed;... she said this as an interpretation of the moment when I played the Shofar... and then God started to speak to pastor Norton, and so on...Finally, wenshared the holy supper in a very intimate atmosphere.Today we'll be in Coimbra (50 kilometers from here),on the first meeting.God will be glorified.

I AM WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE

Today I left Salamanca very early, knowing that I was at the last stage of this trip, coming close to the final goal.

It was a beautiful road through Portugal's fields, wich I inmediately liked.

Right now I'm at Pastor's Norton Molly da Silva's' home, 25 kilometers far from Aveiro. His house is located near the ocean, and it's a real blessing. He pays 300 euros, wich a central apartment's usual rent in Aveiro, a small one with two small bedrooms.

This is a big country home.

Meeting pastor Norton has been incredible, I feel like we've known each other forever.

He was born in Angola and lived many years in Southafrica.

The interesting part is that God spoke to him and told him to start a new work here in Aveiro, wich he did. It's been a wonderful experience getting to know him, his wife Raquel and they're 21 year old son, Daniel.

We got together with pastor Cristian Romo ( head of many churches in Chile, including ours) to organize a meeting, since pastor Norton wants to know him and the Rocha brothers also want to spend some time with him.

Please pray for this event, it could be an historical moment.

Tomorrow we will take a break and then get started. The words and dreams that some are recieveing from God are already a blessing for us and we keep on remembering them very specially. Keep praying for me and Robby , so we can be used by the Lord.

Dream

I had a dream yesterday: I was watering the garden, and all of the sudden God spoke to me, saying: "It's here... It's coming". I knew he was talking about the revival we are about to experience in Peñaflor, and everything else that he promessed and will happen.

A few minutes after this first vision, I saw a very strong spurt coming from the hose, filled with this fresh and cristaline water, wich reached to the sky, and the most incredible thing is that I could hold it without problems.. and it was an awesome feeling.

Glory to God!! He will keep the promess he delivered.

Spiritual wonderings in Europe

We have been definitely living God’s time. The Lord has spoken to us in many occasions about the urgency of doing His work among us, with this I mean our church in Peñaflor, and this is something that’s been repeating itself over and over in all the places we’ve visited here in Europe ( so far they’re Gotemburg Norrköping and Zaragoza, wich is a region in Spain were my last name is very common).

But there’s an important difference between our reality and theirs: the fullness of the Spirit, the revelation of the Kingdom of God ( no mattering if we let God rule our lifes or not), the manifestation of His presence through worship, I mean lots of advantages that we have. Here in Europe the need for God is huge, the brothers are practically begging for help.

Our first visit was Gotemburg, were we participated in a weekend conference with several groups of brothers who are just starting to work on forming disciples and God’s vision of the Kingdom. They’re being helped direclty by brothers Afif Chaik and Jan Gottfridsonn, from Argentina and Brasil.

These brothers are thirsty for God, they have they’re hearts wide open.

They’re worship is not only a sweet perfume for God, but it’s also a great blessing for us, I’m talking about brothers really filled with the Spirit of God, with so much Grace to worship.

Here I met with brothers I already knew from the first trip. They remembered me perfectly and they also remembered Luz María ( Robby’s wife), and my calling and concern that God has putted in me for Europe. One of them even remembered what I had told them about helping them with they’re needs .This really touched my heart.

Then we went to Norkköping, city in wich Nayo lives ( Nayo is a brother from Chile who was called by God to serve as a pastor in Sweden). The Lord is doing something great with him. He has been recognized one of the pastors of the Sweden Pentecostal Church in the city, wich is really a miracle, since latin pastors don’t have a very good testimony in the eyes of swedish brothers. To be more clear: in Sweden it’s very well recieved to be a pastor, except if you are a latin pastor.

But these brothers have received the word of the Kingdom very well, and they are very grateful of the work that Nayo has been doing .Him and his family are very much loved and appreciated amongst Swedish brothers.

Here we attended a conference with the leaders of the congregation, a meeting with the youth of the church and also a meeting with all the church.

The Lord has supported us in everything, letting us share the word of the Kingdom of God, with a profetic vision for every location.

Finally we’ve been in Zaragoza, a beautiful city in Spain. Inicially the purpose of visiting this city was to meet with a professional Soccer player called Savio, who plays for a team in Zaragoza and decided to become a christian, but that meeting never happened. Instead we shared some time with a small group of brothers who are staying firm in Christ, praying and being faithful, something they’ve been doing for years.

This is a city were the spiritual pressure of the enemy is very strong, they were almost to the verge of being desperate.

In this city there’s a great belief in the Hispanity Patroness, the "virgen del Pilar". We went to the cathedral were this is centered and we prayed there against this spiritual principality that has this city tied to paganism.

Inside the temple there are flags of all Hispanic countries, including ours, wich is kind of a spiritual colonialism that has us joined our countries in this spiritual slavery.

In the middle of this place we cried to the Lord, that he may defeat this strong force and bring spiritual freedom.

Many times our brothers wake up at night shivering from the demonic presence on this city, and the Lord takes them to pray, to fight this, to interciede for this.

Well this is very long, but I have taken pictures of all the places we’ve went to ‘cause God has putted in my heart that we pray for every location, and I’ve made a commitment that Gleukos will be praying for our brothers in Europe.

Now we’re going back to Madrid , and then we’ll head to Galicia. The spiritual pressure on this places is even bigger. Well I guess we’ll just have to see it for ourselves

Robby

I am very close to the target

Receive a great hug of love from the other side of the world. I’m in Salamanca,a city wich is relatively close to the border with Portugal. Tonight I’ll be taking the train to Coimbra and then my final destination, Aveiro.

This has already started and it’s coming very strongly.So far everything’s been good,and I could say things are an 80% close to what I was hoping to achieve so far.

Anyway, the Lord in in control of everything, Aleluya for that!.

Two of us will be ministring in Europe next week

These are images of the city of Aveiro in Portugal, also called the “Venice of the Iberian Peninsula”. Lower we have images of the city of Vigo in Galicia,in Northwestern Spain.

There we will be represented by the pastor of our community, Carlos Cantos , and one of our leaders, brother Robby Romo.
Both of them( though on different ministry teams) will plant the seed of the Kingdom in Portugal and Spain. Only God know wich blessing this will bring to our church.

Next week, both of our brothers will be separated only by the border between those two countries (wich means aprox. and hour and a half by car from one point to the other).
This coincidence is surprising. It means the beginning of a lot of new things for us. In Aveiro we have pastor Norton, and in Vigo there’s pastor Juan. It’s very important to be interceding in Spirit for what God wants to do on these places.
May the Lord give us a living heart for brothers with different cultures, and respect for their reality, without us trying to teach them aspects of our own culture that, if good, are not really important in what we’re doing.

All this Iberian Peninsula zone is a coastal zone that looks to the Atlantic, wich means a lot of richness in sea products, and evidently many delicious plates for the tourists to try, and something our brothers will enjoy as well as they travel.

Robby has already traveled to Sweden were he participated in christian gatherings in Gotenburg and Norköping, were he shared his gifts of grace that God gave him, sharing our songs with the brothers, who are also very thankful and happy for this.
We must be praying for our brothers , so that God covering them and they’re families. We have to remember: they are being sent with all our support.

Challenge

Our community Gleukos has been recieving clear and accurate words, wich have been becoming real little by little, before our very eyes.

And then there’s God, challenging our faith day after day, pushing us to prove his hand holding us, saying : Here’s your God, backing you up always!

On Monday the 21^st our pastor Carlos goes to Europe, to minister with the Rocha brothers, Glory to God!, we know that this blessing will reach all of us here.

And for us who stay at home: a great mission.. to keep working on everything that God has showed us , strenghtening our hands, growing in grace, guiding the new ones, spreading the word of God to those who are still to come, and developing a more sensitive ear to hear His voice, and praying... all of this , so that God can make his promises real, the ones he made for Gleukos and for us personally.

Let’s keep our hearts open, learning from our Master, and standing in awe every day when we experience His manifested Presence, always so powerful.
