The women behind bars in Texas have seen a great light - the Light of the World showed up to minister His love, compassion, mercy, healing, and restoration during our visits to eight women's correctional facilities.  This trip brought healing and reconciliation, equipping and confirmation to 465 women.  Our ministry team traveled from Bridgeport to Texas City and ministered in Pre-Release facilities to Death Row.  We witnessed:

Tears of sadness and tears of joy;
Women coming out of the graves of their lives and being set free;
Women singing to and praising their King Jesus;
Women crossing over the Jordan to enter their Promised Land;
A seminar turning into a prayer line;
The spiritual weapon of silence being practiced by 50 women;
28 out of 32 women coming forward for prayer for healing from sexual abuse; and,
Sharing ways to pray with women on Death Row.

Women not only broke out of bondages by the power of the Holy Spirit, but broke into freedom and victory.  It is remarkable what happens when we pray!

Our teams ran into obstacles and through prayer. doors were opened to allow us into facilities, have the time needed for the messages, and overcome challenges.  We thank the chaplains, corrections staff, TDCJ, and those who made the trip possible.  Our thanks to Discipleship Unlimited, COPE, and Oil of Joy for collaborating with us.  We thank Moms in Prayer, Child Evangelism Fellowship, and Daughters of Destiny for resource material and information to share with chaplains.  We thank our team of intercessors who prayed this into a reality.  We thank our donors, whose contributions made this trip and the follow up correspondence lessons possible. 

As we prepare for our upcoming trips in April, May, and June, would you prayerfully consider continuing to support the ministry through prayer, giving, and working on the correspondence Bible Studies?  May the Lord richly bless you.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."  1 Cor. 1:19

The King is mighty

"The King is mighty, He loves justice - You have established equity."  Psalm 99:4

God's justice system, His mishpat, operates on a different level than man's system.  When he Child was born and the Son was given, the government was placed upon His shoulders.  The Lord has the final say in matters of His justice. 

With Bibles open and smiles of surprise that an unexpected visitor had arrived, three women sat with me in a small side room on Death Row.  I asked them what their most important prayer need was at the moment; their answers were: favor, prayer for a brother and a son, and for the truth and justice to come out.  We talked about ways to pray that could open up heaven for God's answers to be released.  Prayers of thanksgiving, repentance, prayers for those in authority, treading prayers, and prayers of intercession.

The women were ready to try some 21 day prayer challenges.  Our two hours felt like two minutes.  I was led out as I was led in and behind me I could hear the cell doors shut each woman back in her cell.  May the Lord be with each of these women as they wait  and may His justice prevail.

Carswell, Texas

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."  1 Cor. :18

Images -- that is what I carry out from my times with the women at FMC-Carswell.  The image of women weeping, sobbing, kneeling, and wailing.  The woman yesterday who broke down with tears of JOY. 

Images of praise, worship and adoration from women with broken hearts whom Jesus had come to restore and heal with His love, His mercy.  Jesus was moved with compassion this weekend at Carswell.  I know He was.

Images of the choir singing at yesterday afternoon's service - all women we have had attend our seminars.  Their voices singing loud and proud as they offered their sacrifice of praise to their King Jesus.  I had to kneel on the gym floor as the heaviness of the glory of God came into that holy place.

Images of women being prayed over and the impact as Abba Father touched them in some way.  So many women - I don't know how many - were set free this weekend.  The picture of women coming up, one by one for prayer on Saturday - during what I thought was a seminar with teaching.  It turned into a seminar with demonstration. 

Images of women crossing the Jordan and entering the Promised Land - getting to a place they had never been before.  Prayer after prayer after prayer being prayed over women as they experienced the mighty and holy presence of the Lord. 

Images of women coming out of of the grave, having a Lazarus moment.  The looks on their faces as they felt free for the first time in a long, long time. 

Images of the women in the middle of a tug of war, with the enemy pulling on one side, and all heaven's angels pulling on the other side - pulling the women with love and encouragement to come to Jesus.

I can't recall all the images, but Lord I pray the ones I need to remember You will seal directly in my spirit.  Lord God, I love what You have done!
