Philippines

Lesley Anne was recently in Philippines ministering with a team of people in Cebu City and Manila in local churches. Many people are being touched by God. Many people have been saved and healed. There was a lady at one of the meetings who could not walk and she got out of the chair and walked. A pastor had a broken leg that was healed. People afflicted with asthma, arthritis, and gout have been healed. A lady was prayed for who was blind in one eye and she was healed. God is on the move and His kingdom is coming in love and power AMEN!!!!! One of the team members called Yonnie has made a video of their time in Philippines - you can see it on www.youtube.com/irisministries and on Holy Given site here. They are desperate for more prayer from you all. The people here are desperate for God - for true religion that is found walking in Christ's love and humility.

This is written from Shara Pradhan also ministering alongside Lesley and the team, she writes, I am writing to ask for concentrated, anointed intercession for our Philippino family of brothers and sisters. Lesley, Yonnie, Pastor Molica and I are ministering in Cebu City in the city which first imported the catholic idolatry into The Philippines which is now rampant throughout the land. Apparently, many prophets who have come through this city have said that they have rarely encountered a stronger Jezebel spirit than the religious idolatry which reigns from this city. We are in this awesome river church which I know will become an apostolic sending center for a missions movement in Asia. We just finished washing the leadership team's feet, as Lesley preached on true leadership walking in humility, cloaked in meekness from the sermon on the mount. The service broke out in corporate repentence: Chinese community to Philippino, grieving Holy Spirit, the hurt and pain of the Japanese war, and the denominationalism of Cebu City, leader to leader for this city, region and nation.

I really need prayer on Thursday as we have an opportunity to stand with our Philippino brothers and sisters for a really specific but very important assignment in the spirit: The first night we were here, before I met the pastors, I went into this vision when Lesley and I were talking before bed. I was watching this witch on assignment planted within the church, using catholic idolatry fueled with indigenous native witchcraft and intentional cursing to specifically take out the apostolic leadership.

The next day at lunch the pastor start telling us that this year has been the year of greatest breakthrough but with single hardest, most painful price. The pastor's wife got hit with very serious seizures for no medical reason. As the lead intercessor for this region, she got attacked on an airplane, going into a terrible seizure two hours into flight, she broke her back. There is no medical evidence of why this should happen. No root. No real cure. Her husband, the main apostolic leader over this city, also got hospitalized a few weeks before we came out of the blue.

I knew this was my vision. The pastors then told me that Stacey Campbell who had just been here had said the exact same thing. They said the vision completely confirmed what they were felling.

Our team quickly realized that we were on assignment to fly in from Mozambique, New Zealand and the US just for this couple.
