Word Confirmed With Signs Following
Mark 16: 17, 20 “And these signs
shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out
demons; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up
serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. And
they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with
them, and confirming the word with signs following.”
I fasted for ten days prior to our 5th
China Mission and the Lord spoke many things to me including: 1) To
be a servant to help the Chinese believers fulfill all God’s Kingdom
purposes. 2) To proclaim the preeminence of Jesus as the Head and
Builder of His Church. 3) Equip leaders in New Testament church
principles and practices. 4) Help protect the Chinese believers
from the Western church’s influence of the spirit of religion,
materialism and unbelief.

Abraham and Paul watching Jesus gather His sheep in China; Young
musician who sang to us “new songs of the Kingdom”.

toilets and trash binds rescued and ministered to by sisters
with mercy gifts in spite of “abandonment” which was a prophetic
word given.

- A sister was miraculously delivered by
the Lord from being kidnapped by the Eastern Lightning Cult who
would have drugged her and forced information from her that
would have jeopardized the lives and safety of many Chinese
house church leaders, training center leaders and students and
foreign teachers, and then the Eastern Lightning Cult would have
turned her over to the Communist authorities to be put on trial,
imprisoned or killed. This was the prophetic caution that the
prophets heard from the Lord prior to our 5th China
mission and for which prophetic prayer and intercession was made
and days of fasting observed that prevented the enemy from
carrying out this devious plan.
