Dear PTH Friends,
It is hard to believe five weeks have gone by since PTH Ministries started here in the Georgia / South Carolina area. The ministry has included a 3 day “Holy Spirit Encounter” conference, various church meetings, and home gatherings. Every day there is some form of ministry or meeting taking place and there is always a common thread … and that is, Jesus Christ is Lord and receives all the glory!
In most meetings, Nancy has been sharing the word for 2017 that the Lord gave her: “The Way of the Lord” (see website post “2017 Redemptive Victory” for details about this word). A portion of the message Nancy has been sharing also includes a continuation of prior years because it is about 7 years of Plenty – building up His Storehouse with souls (2016-2022). And, after the 7 years of plenty???? No one knows the day nor hour of the Lord’s return, but depending on what the saints do or don’t do, the Lord said it could be the end of life as we know it if we do nothing. So, thank you for your prayer support and embracing the word to build up His Storehouse with souls. Another nugget the Lord has given Nancy is that no man can activate you; Only God can activate you, but you / we have to position ourselves to be activated.
Thinking back to so many meetings over the last several weeks, they all seem to run together…. then I remember – it is One Storehouse! So I’ll share some of the amazing things the Lord has done in the hearts and lives of His people! We have heard testimonies of people who have received the word about the Storehouse and asked for God’s favor and doors that had been shut up tight have just swung wide open with immeasurable favor! Healings! It is profound to see first hand God’s idea of healing… He does it from the inside out! Sometimes, we tend to look at those who perhaps are crippled in their physical walk, and think because they don’t walk “like we think they should walk” then they are not healed. However, God has proved Himself mighty in healing the spiritual condition of the crippled heart…. We have seen that with our own eyes! “A merry heart does good, like a medicine” (Prov. 17:22/NKJV).
Here are some more miracles and healings the Lord has done by His blood and the power of the Holy Spirit:
– tasks / spiritual commitments that in the past were overwhelming and difficult went remarkably smooth and peaceful
– God’s love, peace and acceptance that had never been experienced in a diverse group of people
– transformed minds … attitudes … perspectives that were aligned with “the way of the Lord”
– strength to carry on; empowered
– testimonies to never give up – prayers answered from previous meetings concerning children and grandchildren returning to the Lord.
– experienced the wine of the Holy Ghost for the first time
– believing in God’s love for the first time; deliverance from bondage
– hearts of stone replaced supernaturally with hearts of flesh (emotional healing)
– prominent leg pain completely removed
– God gave “Old dogs New tricks” … and they were received because of God’s love and power of the Holy Spirit
Way more happens than can be recorded in a report. Still, know that your prayers are appreciated and very effective! The circumstances may have been a little different for Paul, but he recognized prayer, and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ resulted in deliverance (Phil. 1:19). Thank you for your prayer coverage on behalf of Point To Hope! Your prayers are working like a mighty army for God’s purposes. Your prayers of faith are equipping and building up the army of the Lord … kind of like King David!
David was a mighty king! When he moved forth in battle he preceded with the declaration based on what the Lord said, not what his opposition was saying in his ear. David activated the ‘now faith and moved according to what was unseen regardless of what was seen in the physical realm. When David became king over Israel, he was told by the Jebusites, (those living in the city of Jerusalem) that: “You will not get in here” (1 Chron. 11:5/NIV). But this is what happened in the next verse (6), “Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, the City of David.” And when David took up residence he built up the fortress, the supporting wall, and the city around it. That’s what the righteous prayers of the saints do!
When the voice of the enemy says, you will not get in here … your prayers will not penetrate the walls of the kingdom of darkness … bla … bra .. bra…. “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good,” (Ro. 12:21/NIV). Kindness leads to repentance (Ro. 2:4).
When the Lord made a covenant promise with Nancy and all those who will partner in prayer, He also gave 4 keys to help built up His storehouse with souls: acts of kindness (breaking the fallow ground of a hard heart), seeding of the Word, watering the Word, and harvesting (salvation)! And God’s FAVOR when using the 4 keys, as well as the necessary finances, health, and relationships: Just ASK for God’s Favor!
So, here we are in the body of Christ Jesus! A big world out there and an enemy saying, “You won’t get in here” … BUT God says: NONETHELESS, take up residence! Your prayers conquer the plans of the enemy and your prayers are rebuilding the “Holy City” … heaven on earth! Don’t give in … don’t give up! Continue sending up those “NOW FAITH” PRAYERS! God longs for His storehouse to filled with souls. We still have approximately 140 countries to go to in a little less than 6 years. It is repentance and God’s Light that will bring forth changes in cities / nations. And it all starts with prayer!
PTH is currently in the Cleveland, Georgia area and will be through the first week in March. Thank you for your prayer support for traveling mercies, and ears that will hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying in the is hour!
Looking ahead, your prayers are also appreciated for Henry in preparation for putting together the travel itinerary for this summer when Nancy and I go to the designated countries for Central & South America (specific countries TBA). Your prayers will guide and direct the working of the Holy Spirit for HIS perfect itinerary.
Also, please keep in prayer Feb. 14th & 15th, for an added prayer assignment the Lord is requiring.
Blessings to all!
Sincerely,
Sarah Tarter
