Persevere in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving, praying also together for us that God would open unto us the door of the word, to speak the mystery of the Christ, for which I am also in bonds, that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. (Colossians 4:2-4)
As we enter into 2024, at Highway to Heaven Church, we have been petitioning the Throne room and thanking the Father for opening the door for a new meeting place for our Kingdom family, where we will be able to host His presence more than just on Sunday morning (Romans 4:17, 8:25).
We as a Kingdom family fully believe in and trust in the Lord’s ability to open new doors, especially understanding the prophetic meaning of the year 5784 on the Jewish Calender, as that of “The Year of Open Doors”.
In a recent conversation with a very dear prophetic friend of mine, he told me that over the past few months, the Lord has been speaking to him about my life, HTHC, and Remnant Warrior ministries. During those discussions, the Lord has been showing him an increase in family members and seeing an expansion of these two ministries overall.
He showed him a door opening, and upon walking through it, he saw the establishment of healing rooms ministry. He said the Lord reminded him of how He had positioned me as co-director of a healing room ministry here in Jacksonville.
Then the Lord showed him that we would be able to hold prayer meetings regularly. (This has been my heart’s cry for a new location. Especially during this hour, for we would be holding such prayer vigils specifically to hold our Jewish brothers and sisters and the nation of Israel up in prayer).
He said that he also saw that with this new location, we will also be able to hold Bible studies and other teaching meetings geared to equip the Body.
One thing he said the Lord was strongly emphasizing was discipleship and the training the be part of the ministry’s focus on raising up the next generation of Church Elders and Shepherds, which includes allowing them to lead meetings and other such leadership functions.
My friend ended with the Lord telling him that is the reason He had brought me into the study of the revelation of what it looks like to be submitted to living under His governing authority.
He did this so that my wife and I would understand the importance and the power of living a life totally surrendered to the Government of the Godhead.
It is also our desire to expand our ministry reach both from Highway To Heaven Church and Remnant Warrior ministries in my wife’s homeland, the nation of the Philippines. My friend said he saw my wife leading multiple missionary teams into that nation, as well as our being able to establish New Creation Ranch there, a discipleship-focused ministry, purposed for the transformation of nations and cultures by training up Mountain Moving Disciples.
It is an exciting time, to say the least, but with that commissioning comes the responsibility to seek the Lord’s guidance in every move we make, to be intentional in all we do with the desire to walk and live as our Lord did to where we say nothing nor take any action until we hear from and view the Father doing such.
With this we are asking all those connected to us to keep us lifted up in prayer, as it is our desire that the Lord alone, get the Glory and that it is His name alone that we represent, taking no glory for ourselves or our ministry efforts, for we completely under the conviction that we could do nothing and would be nothing without our Jesus.
