Jim's Letter

Dear All!

Marie and I had a Scottish pastor friend in 1955 in Chicago – Robert
Burrows. He obeyed the Lord by not learning to drive or own a car. He
used public transportation and the goodwill of friends as a means of
witnessing.
He led a pastor's prayer meeting of some 20-30 each Wednesday morning
at 7:00 AM for Revival for Chicago. One morning following this meeting
he informed me – "Jim – I believe the Lord would have me drive home
with you and have breakfast with you and Marie." Each time in the next
3 years when he said this, it was always an answer to prayer for
Marie. He always had an encouraging word for her. He gave us our first
copy of "Rees Howells, Intercessor" by Norman P. Grubb about that
time, and also the biography of John Sung by Leslie Lyall. WHAT a
challenge and blessing!

This last week Darrell Dahlman of the Portland Metroplex – in the
spirit of Robert Burrows informed me – "Jim, I believe the Lord would
have me meet with you and Marie at Beth Chesed on Saturday. I will
lead you in worship, and then share what I see God is doing in the
Pacific Northwest." WHAT a meeting we had!
I led our congregation in corporately praying through Joe McIntyre's
Crafted Prayer on the "Breastplate of Judgment," taken from his
upcoming book "Kingdom Warriors." Then we looked at part of the Torah
Reading from Isaiah 40-66. Next we saw a DVD – "Fire on Mt. Carmel"
with David and Karen Davis.
When Darrell received the service, he took the Crafted Prayer of Joe
McIntyre and extemporaneously led us in singing it together in "Ballad
Style," with the refrain of "Loving the Lord our God with all of our
heart, soul and strength."
The "presence of the Lord" descended on us, just as we experienced in
every service on Mt. Carmel two years ago. Then he referred to Karen's
word to her husband David the first service that opened to them in the
80's when they first came to Israel. It was in an Arab village. She
said, "David – I can't lead these people in worship, because I have no
rapport with them. As a Jew I came to minister to my fellow Jews. I
don't hate Arabs – but I have no feeling for them as I am sure God
has." So they stopped the car on the way and prayed. As Karen
confessed her heart-lack to the Lord, He came down and gave her a
spiritual love transfusion for Arabs that she already had for Jews.
From then on, the "One New Man" of Jew and Arab – started to come
together in Haifa, Mt Carmel, Jerusalem and then all Israel. Read
Reuven Doron's book "The One New Man," to see what God did.
This deeply touched Darrell, and he wove that thought into the
worship for all of us.

Next he shared what happened the February 18th weekend in Port
Townsend, Washington. Darrell – with Marjorie Baker, daughter-in-law
to HA & Mother Baker of China and "Visions beyond the Veil," and her
daughter Linda, are moving with Darrell to arrange for the coming of
Rolland Baker, husband of Heidi Baker of Mozambique, and grandson of
HA Baker – for his coming to Port Townsend Saturday May 19th through
Monday the 21st. Expect to see the Kingdom of God expressed – not in
word only at this time, but also in Power and DEMONSTRATION of the
Holy Spirit! Over 6000 churches have been raised up in Mozambique in
the last 15 years, with over 30 raised from the dead!

Then Darrell told us of his time in Victoria BC Tuesday and Wednesday,
and his visit with Bill & Edie Southward. They had part in bringing
several members of the Israeli Knesset to Victoria the preceding
Friday and Saturday. Some 500 Jews and Gentiles met together in the
spirit of the "One New Man." Pray for Victoria.
On Thursday he met with pastors and leaders in Vancouver BC along
with representatives from the Seattle area. His time with Russ Snyder
of this latter area was especially fruitful.
Next on the way to Normandy Park WA for a meeting Friday night, he
stopped off for a time with Bob Ekblad of Mt Vernon. Bob has spent
time with Rolland and Heidi Baker in Mozambique, and just returned
from a Caribbean Cruise with the same Bakers, Bill Johnson of Redding
CA – and John & Carol Arnott of Toronto. God moved on this cruise and
on some of the Islands they visited and ministered. Miracles of
healing took place.

Darrell ended up by asking for our prayers starting March 11th for 2
weeks as he and his wife Carlene return to Korea for ministering for
perhaps the 16th time in 6 years. Believe with them for the miracle of
reconciliation between North and South Korea in the "One New Man"
concept.
We laid hands on Darrell and prayed over him, and several significant
prophecies came forth.
