LIVING WATERS from Lightbearers

Dear Ones,

One aspect of Lightbearers is that we have planted and are operating over ninety schools of ministry in twenty-five countries. Hundreds of students are being trained in the gifts of the Spirit monthly on four continents. We aim for schools in every country. Below is a testimony from a brother in Benin who just graduated the school of ministry. It blessed my wife and I, so I’m sure you will be blessed as well. Love to all! KRP

I bless the Lord for granting us this day. On behalf of all the recipients, I would like to thank the trainers and all the traineds, may the Eternal God bless them in the name of Jesus Christ.

The School of Ministry of Lightbearers training allowed us to develop the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

1. Me personally before this training, I could not pray well in tongue and I could not even pray for more than an hour of time alone. But since I followed this training and with the practices done, my speaking in tongues has improved significantly, and I can now pray on my own for more than 6, 7 and even 9 hours of non-stop time. My spiritual dimension has changed especially in the area of ​​prayer and I am sure that it is so with my colleagues as well.

 

1. Before this training, I did not know that I had the gift of healing but during the training, by praying very often in tongues, the Holy Spirit revealed it to me. So I decided to experiment it on my 2 year old son who had started walking like a cripple and it was as if he had pain in one foot which was shorter than the other. So I prayed in tongues and also making statements on his feet. After a while, both feet became the same size and he was no longer in pain as he was fully recovered.

 

1. In our School (The School of the Holy Spirit), thanks to this training, our spiritual parents have formed an intercession group formed by students from the School of the Ministry. The prayers of this intercessory group were so effective that they sent us requests for complicated cases from abroad and we prayed then they obtained satisfaction and called back to testify.

 Through this training you have given us the weapons to fight the good fight as the apostle Paul recommended to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1v18. We promise you that by the grace of God, we will fight the good fight, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

May the Eternal God bless those responsible leaders for this training and inspire them more in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen -D.T.

UNLEASHING THE GENIUS WITHIN – THE NEXT LEVEL

One word from God can change your life forever, as the sign proclaimed at brother Copelands event…

In !981, after a tragic car accident, a pastor in Ohio USA was prompted by Holy Spirit (I learned in research once again that evangelicals have a hard time saying the words, ‘God told me’) to make his financial healthcare needs known and start a letter concerning peoples financial healthcare needs. Thus, the ministry of Christian Healthcare Ministries was born. CHM is a ministry where members pool their financial resources to help each other pay their medical bills. CHM was the first of its kind – another example of the genius word, doing a new thing better than anything done before! CHM saves its members thousands of dollars each year over conventional healthcare insurance and to date, has shared over seven billion ($7,000,000,000) dollars in members medical bills. Genius! And it all started with a word from God, a word of wisdom.

A genius word – a word of wisdom – has the characteristic at times to start as a seed and mature into a great tree. CHM would be a great example! Obedience and faith in carrying out the word brings the fruit. Genius words are always rooted in the Word and can be confirmed there as well. On their website (chministries.com) the ministry shows how its principles are rooted in the New Testament, especially Acts 2 and 4.

I’ve always believed in teams. What I have learned is that in teams when there is great communication, great KOINONIA, great fellowship there is the possibility of synergy that produces great results. The principle of synergy states that when synergy occurs, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. The simplest example I could think of concerning synergy is a baby. A man cannot conceive a baby of his own parts, nor can a woman. But, when they come together – synergy – they can produce something far greater than the sum of their individual parts, a family, a brand-new life!

Let’s talk about teams, because genius in a group of two or more is the next level of the genius anointing. My uncle and his Army TEAM of scientists created night vision technology in the 60’s. I’ve always said that the smartest thing I ever did in ministry was find the people that the Lord had called to pray for Lightbearers. Not just anybody, but people called, told, commanded to pray for Lightbearers. (There is always an anointing for what you are commanded to do. You create teams based on the anointings needed to make the team succeed. Otherwise you are just a group of friends hanging out, which is great, but it is not a team.)

The Lord surrounds me with people who are better than me. Many of those people have become some of the closest people in my life, some have been on the team since it started in ’98. We’ve seen many miracles, including recently the recovery of a man from Covid that the doctors deemed a miracle. One dark night, we were driving from Parakou to Cotonou in Benin, when our Landcruiser broke down. HS ‘prompted’ me to text one of the intercessors to tell the team. Ten minutes later, a mechanic found us on the side of the road, and ten minutes after that, had the engine humming again! Rescued by a genius word through intercession, the right word at the right time…

God created man and woman to be a team through the marriage covenant. This is your primary team, and you strive for synergy in all your endeavors, not just in procreation. Teams are amazing! Miracles are usually component driven. Let’s say you need to move a mountain. How is that mountain going to move? Love, grace, words of knowledge and words of wisdom, and supernatural faith will all be involved in moving that mountain. One team member may be the great source of the ‘love’ backing the project, someone else pours in grace or favor. Someone else gets WOK regarding the practical aspects, someone else the genius wisdom, and another locks in with supernatural faith, the bulldog anointing. The members come together as one and God uses them to move the mountain. Do you see it?

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Eccl 4:9-12 NKJV

Let’s look at some teams in the Word! What you have to love about the Bible is that it is so honest, so real, so down to earth that it exposes our heroes weaknesses and failings just as it touts their incredible victories.

MOSES AND AARON

Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said: “Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, he is also coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15 Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do. 16 So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God. Ex 4:10, 14-16 NKJV

Moses felt he couldn’t do the job by himself, so God gave him a close team member, his own brother. In time other team members would come along as the responsibility grew – his sister Miriam, the seventy, and finally the overseer team. It’s interesting that Moses team came initially out of his own family. I believe there are callings on families as well as on individuals. There are divine destinies, as well as satanic destinies assigned to each family, and they must choose the road they will travel.

MOSES, AARON, HUR AND JOSHUA

Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. Ex 17:8-13 NKJV

Tremendous example of what we are talking about! Each one had a role to play, each was vital to the overall success, the manifesting of the genius word regarding the problem of the Amalekites.

PAUL, SILAS AND TIMOTHY

So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed. Acts 19:20 NKJV

Acts is divided into eight great sections which build on each other, each of which culminates with a summary statement. In the seventh section (16:6-19:20), 66Paul has broken the relationship with Barnabas – the synergy was lost? – and starts to build a new team with Silas, and eventually Timothy. These three take the outreach in Acts to another level!

We could look at Aquila and Priscilla, Deborah and Barak, David and his mighty men, the Twelve, and many others, as God brings teams of people together through the genius anointing to accomplish His will in a particular situation. As long as they achieve SYNERGY they can accomplish through the Word and the gifts of the Spirit, especially the genius anointing, the word of wisdom, the best possible fruit that the Lord desires.

When you seek to do anything – because everything is for the Lord (Col.3:23)– determine first the anointings you need to succeed in that work, then ask the Lord to give you those anointings through people. Some of those people might even be unsaved, but God anoints them anyway (don’t put God in a box, He doesn’t fit!). grow the synergy in the group through love and honesty and watch the genius anointing begin to manifest, just like it did in Ohio in ’81. You and your team can do WHATEVER the Lord ‘prompts’ you to do! Love you!

Remember dear ones, we must be about our Father’s business…
