Dear family, It is hard to believe that we are at the end the third month of 2008. There is truly a great acceleration in the Kingdom of God and many things are taking place faster than they used to. Jesus said that it would happen so we are not surprised. For us this first trimester has been quite eventful in ministry, home, and church.
Once again, we are deeply grateful to everyone that prays for us as we work in the fields of the Father. Please know that we do not take it for granted as we know that they are the fuel behind the release we see. This year we have so far been in 16 airplanes and several road trips in locations near-by, and we can say that God’s grace has always been sufficient for us to serve His children. One thing we are noticing more and more is the level of impartation that is happening in our mist. It is much much deeper than before. There has been more of an open heaven and miracles have been taking place. We have been sharing and teaching many how easy it is to live in the supernatural realm of God and He in His Kindness has been demonstrating it in our mist, and in the lives of many as they go home from the conferences. It is wonderful to see that it is remaining and continuing afterwards. However, we are fully aware that this is not happening because of us, but because of the hunger of the people we are serving. Our Father loves to satisfy the hungry hearts!!!!
The simplicity and keys of the Kingdom continue being revealed and destinies are uncovered. We are literally seeing lives transformed, captives set free, prodigals coming home to the Father, churches and ministries repositioned and released. The best part of all is a greater release of the Father’s love and His heart, and with it an increase of the presence of Jesus in the meetings. People have been having powerful encounters with Him and through Him with the Father. Oh the stories we can tell will fill a book. There is nothing like and encounter with Jesus. Even today, during a teaching session, Jesus Himself began to walk around revealing Himself to many. What powerful deep transformations! What love! What kindness as the Beloved of our souls allows us to look at His beauty and splendour. People’s comments were, “Yes, I know it is true because when I saw Him today during the meeting, He stole my breath and my heart is on fire. I am changed forever”. Another girl shared how during the meeting He came sat in front of her, and showed her His love for her as He released her from a deep wound of her past”. She was beaming afterwards. If only you could hear the testimonies of hearts healed and touched by Him, for truly He is altogether lovely! How could we not love Him?
Our book “YOUR DESTINY...Unlocking the impossible promises of God” was finally published 12 weeks ago, and we are already preparing the second printing by August 2008. God has been doing great things with it. We should not be surprised as it was His idea. In the mist of this, we are also writing our second book.
On the home front we have an amazing miracle to tell. Many of you were aware of a big challenge we had with our house and the septic system. The lady who sold us the house lied to us and we found out that there was a massive problem with our septic system. She did it in a way that actually got away with it and were stuck with the problem. There were many issues involved and it was overwhelming and discouraging. To save our house, we needed $40,000 to $60,000 plus work permits that were impossible to obtain. When the challenge came we chose to trust in the greatness of our Father knowing that we were deceived but, He wasn’t. Therefore, we knew that He had positioned us for a miracle, and that as bad as things looked if we trusted Him, “at the end” everything would work out. And, today we can say that He has done it. Our Father has done the impossible. He has parted the waters and has given us another story to make Him famous. We are deeply grateful to everyone who stood in prayer with us and for us during this storm. Every prayer was answered!
We are living in a marvellous time, learning more and more to live and walk under the shadow of the Great I Am. The Lord of lords and King of kings. The one for whom nothing is impossible and is truly the Ruler of all. And the best of all is that He is OUR Father, and, if He is for us, who can be against us?
May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show His favour, and give you His peace.
Much love and blessings, Ivan & Isabel Allum www.ivan-isabel.com
