If you got this before, ignore it, but it was rejected for a video that was too large, by most servers, so I took it off, but I am preparing to teach a 2-day seminar next weekend for our new partner who is a 14 boat ride from across the border.
From the nationally respected Anny who came to visit & pray for Provi before our overnight fasting & prayer interpreted by Provi:
To Greg:
Satan is opposed to you about money. Two doors of provision have been closed, but God will open three. If you are patient and wait, He will bless you with much wealth, because He knows you & knows you will use it for him. He will bless all of your children financially too and they will all give provision to you, because He will give you a good relationship with them. So don’t forget to pray for your children.
Don’t stop going to Tanzania. You have had much difficulty, but it is because God has a great plan for you in Tanzania. He will bless you in many ways in Tanzania.
To Provi:
You are my first child and I love you so much! Because the devil knows your calling he has tried to kill you. It was him in the bus accident and it is him in your headaches. But God will stop this! You will be healthy. But Satan will continue to oppose you.
Prayer in the Cave:
24 hrs devoted to praying with brothers who speak little English is interesting.
After Anny visited us at home, because I instigated all this, I went back to the Methodist Church for their prayer meeting. It reminds a bit of a good MorningStar conference, because I remember the all night prayer meeting that started with us worshipping and dancing from 9:30 to about 3-4 am. I had a poor interpreter, at the Methodist church, but did not speak during the meeting except to say I’m happy to see you in Swahili. I had enough time after the meeting to take a bath, pack, finish an email from my wife to Robert Fitts, because she had revelation to share with him & encourage him, and send emails to my secretary for her work day that begins at 3 pm our time.
Now (last Friday night) I’m riding the bus with my two companions 1.5 hrs to Musanze where we lived before Gisenyi, then we walk to the “desert place” where may people fast and pray. If I don’t look outside I can type on my computer without motion sickness. We’re all sitting on the fold-out aisle seats, which are a bit rough on a heavy person’s back, but the roads are good and the curves aren’t bad so far, because we are climbing the mountains going slow & the roads are recently brand new pavement.
We planned to sleep on the ground, so I brought a sheet and planned to lay my head on my back-pack & wear the flannel shirt I brought for my wife & the T-shirt that was given to me by the European nurse in the first Tanzania hospital after our accident. I hope I figure out a decent pillow, but maybe I’ll see a ladder to heaven when I lay my head on a stone, like Jacob did. This will test my ability to sleep almost anywhere.
I really expect great things and Safari will manage to explain the prophecies with me helping in Swahili. Of course, I’m likely the only one on the bus doing something useful, because I’ve never seen anyone carrying a book unless I taught them to do it. There isn’t even very much conversation. Maybe some of them are meditating on scripture, but I think it’s one in several hundred who do that. When we walked two times before the bus ride with Safari I was memorizing The Song of Solomon in Swahili, which he noticed and said he liked that book, so much.
Our prayer trip to the “desert” (really a natural cave in a mountain) is finished because God spoke that our prayers have been answered, so we were in the cave only 15 hours.
Three different groups have prophesied the same things to me about things most of them know nothing about! They all mentioned blessings on my USA family and a direct or indirect indication of a great change in relationships, between me and my children. They also all said God was going to bless us financially and sometimes that I (including Provi) would work in many more nations in ministry.
The last stop at friends of the Methodist pastor who traveled with Safari, another, & I prophesied that I would get a good job and the head of the house (a city policeman) wants to help me get that teaching position. Of course, I wait for some kind of confirmation, because I know even gifted people are not fully mature in accuracy or correct interpretation of genuine revelations.
I felt the cause of Provi’s head-aches has been stopped and she said good when I told her.
That trip to the “desert”, actually cave, was like Alice in Wonderland and the red pill in “The Matrix”. I have an open mind about spiritual happenings and it might seem like my left brain fell out. I found out I really can sleep anywhere as we climbed the cave wall to sleep on a rocky ledge with no padding, or pillow. Fortunately, I threw in a 4th warm shirt and I had my wife’s blouse which we took to pray for it like the cloths that touched Peter. She sent me with a big sheet. It was cold in that cave. I wore 4 shirts, which helped with padding, used my wife’s folded blouse for a 4 X 8’ pillow on a couple rocks (nice huh!) and I doubled the big sheet for a blanket all the way over my head to keep me from shivering in the cave. It would have been warmer outside in the woods, but they want to pray in the cave for some reason. Lying mostly on my back next to Safari, I slept fairly well for short streaks, though my still sore shoulder really hurt from reaching behind my hind end & back to fish out painful stones. There wasn’t enough height to clear the stones before laying on them, but I really can sleep anywhere!
Safari did a good job of interpreting two ways for me, so they told me when God spoke something and I taught a group with 4 other people who were praying in the cave with him translating to Swahili & the Methodist pastor translating again to Kinyarwanda. When you have no eating and little sleeping, there is plenty of time for exhortations or short teaching.
They gave me the scripture in John where Jesus said, “Your son is well” and in Daniel where the angel told him his prayer was heard at the beginning, but the answer was delayed by the prince of Persia.
The two instructions I got from the Lord related to the promised blessings were to keep up our program of prayer and to remember to pray for my children. Other than that the Lord just said over & over that he loved us so much, He knew us and wanted to bless us because of what He knows about us.
My traveling friends are laughing when Safari told them how I wore everything I had, even my wife’s blouse around my neck & the sheet over my head standing in the cave. But it was just enough. I guess I do tend to live on the edge. In fact I have about $3 left from the $24 I got yesterday that our cousin owed us from the computer sale.
News after returning Sat. afternoon:
Provi still has headaches and vomits almost every day. I am clueless as to why, but she said, we will just trust God and I know He is doing something good in every trial. Because of her illness I have few connections for teaching and spend most of my time completing my teaching English as a foreign language certificate training.
Monday, the nearby university decision-maker, (son of the owner) said he wanted to hire me, but I need to finish a Master’s degree, so I know what to work on. We are still waiting for the $800 check to be available, we have borrowed from Mama for food and yesterday I ran to the bank to get $35 with my business Visa, so I could travel yesterday to meet the policeman at the Post Office where I believe our 7 computer’s were stolen. I was up early at 3:30 after going to bed with my ill wife at 7:30, but she threw up and spent some time moaning, because she ran out of the good head-ache medicine. I typed most of this on the bus to Kigali (6-9:30am yesterday) trying not to let my eyes see the outside move to prevent motion-sickness.
We did get a $1,000 donation transferred directly to our Rwanda bank account, but they took $36 in fees out, so I won’t take it that way again. But the Criminal Investigation Officer, who met me at the Post Office, is in charge of financial crime and is sending a letter to the bank that I wrote for them that it is illegal to take fees from an account without telling the customer. I expect a refund. I recommend you support Heaven’s Family Minstry (click here), They do more to help widows, orphans, and train leaders than I could say in a thousand words. We just got 50 copies of their bible school in a book in E African French and Swahili for our leaders in DRCongo and Gisenyi, Rwanda.
Keep praying for us. I stayed with a friend in Kigali, Thurs night, but I missed my wife! I’m home and she is not well, but I have money to pay the rent.
On the bright side, I had fast enough internet last night to get through to 3 good friends and have a great conversation with all of them. Early this morning I talked to David Saku & Bienvenu, for less than 10 cents/min through my US number dial-around. Bienvenu wants to visit us before I leave the country. Hopefully after taking the policeman to the EMS head, my next EMS, of my old computer, from Tanzania & small things won’t be stolen. David sold the other two that we shipped, so we can buy more to send to him.
Thanks for your prayers, support, & replies of encouragement.
