Prayer

From Becky Gibson of Minto who is a prayer helping form a prayer movement especially among the natives: (received Nov. 6)

I would like to fill in those of you that has not heard about the Alaska Prayer Network, This vision has been on many hearts through the great state of Alaska, I would like say if it wasn't for those who carried this vision out by all the work they did we would not be this far as far as prayer is concern through out the state. It could have started back in the early 50's or even earlier then that. we have seen many moving factors of God awesome Spirit move through out our land. As a young girl In the village of Minto I grew up around prayer. I seen when my dad was transform into Christ image it was the saving grace of Jesus. He didn't just get save he went into a life of prayer and Mom right there with him. My dad was the village rabble, When he got drunk fear came on those that lived near him. there was times when they had to tie him up because of how violent he got. My Auntie Rita said that Grandma Bessie would walk her floor with her hands raised praying that she would one day see him delivered. Because of people like you villages can get transform to Jesus. This is what happen after my dad got saved. Some one was praying for him. And when he caught the fire of Salvation, God spoke to him to go through all the homes and give them the good news. He was told by the Lord to go first to those who practice witch craft and speak salvation to them first, And this was the beginning of the transformation of one village. Twenty years later this same Spirit hit the young life's of Minto and the whole village of young people got saved in almost one week. Revival came and we were on fire for Jesus. What a saving loving Lord we have to have people like you that has big heart to reach our villages and states. Alaska Prayer network wants to be of encouragement to you and your people. We still have a desire to see our whole state come to Christ. I believe it because I was one of those back in early 70's when revival came. Alaska Prayer Network is a network of people that wants to keep in contact with each other for our state, Watching the walls around the state and praying for our gates.That's why we need each other, Over the years I have seen trickles of that move of God and because there was not enough support in teaching and prayer these movement went out. which is sad. But if we are going to see this state on fire we need each other to come around the vision to see our people healed and delivered. My hope and vision for this network is to see many souls in our state reach for the Gospel, Please pray for us as we work together for this goal. I have been put to to this task to help coordinate this network. I hope to hear your input of how we can affect our state. We are planning a trip to Noatak soon then Point Hope if things begin happening in our favor. Pray for our transportation we are in the process of hearing back from the ACPA (Alaska Christian pilot assoc.).. Also too Continue to keep our dear sisters in the Lord in your prayers, Terry Bauchman and lady name Norma from Gulkana. That the healing from cancer would come upon them. Thank you for your time and may God bless. Becky Gibson

A word for Alaska from someone in South America:

Dear fellow ministers of Alaska:

I received a Prophetic Word for Alaska that I want to share with you.

I met a Christian young man (Sergio) while I was ministering in Colombia, South America this past August. He contacted me via email about a women in his seminary school who got a vision about Alaska that had really stirred her. She was looking for some way to send someone the message. Sergio commended the women as a minister and women of God. Enclosed is the original message in Spanish which I have translated to the best of my ability below. Some words or tenses are hard to comprehend but I think I got it pretty close. If you have and questions feel free to call me or email me. I am forwarding this message only to a few leaders that I know. Please let me know what you think and you also decide if you should forward it to others. I am accountable to the body of Christ.

Blessings,

Carlos

Pastor Carlos:

The Lord Bless you. My husband and I pastor a church called Presbyterian Cumberland in the neighborhood Marroquin in the city of Cali, Colombia. My husband is a graduate of Theological Baptist International Seminary and I am in my fifth semester of Theology in the same University. By the grace of God my husband has an Apostolic Ministry and I a Prophetic Ministry, besides we belong to the Presbyterian Mission. We were born in Charismatic churches,……???..we believe in the move of the Holy Spirit.

It is a privilege to be instruments in the hands of our Lord, more importantly, distance doesn’t matter when God holds us to account.

Well, now I’ll tell you how I received a Word for Alaska:

I have never been to Alaska, nor do I know much about that place. One night the Lord took me to a world map which appeared Encarta( not to sure of definition: maybe suitable, or fit in, or ?? note: parenthesis mine) and He showed me Alaska, especially the city of Bethel. He also showed me the following places, a name of a city or place: (copied from original) ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE ( Arctic Village), INNOKO NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Grayling), YUKON FLATS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Venetie), KANUTI NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE(Bettles), KOYUKUK NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Huslia), SELAWIK NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Selawik), NOWITNA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Ruby), TETLIN NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Northway), ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Bear Mountain), YUKON DELTA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Bethel), ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Kongakut), YUKON FLATS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (Chalkyitsik).

From (or about) these places there needs to rise up special prayers for the mercy of God over Alaska, now that acarreado (possibly meaning to transport or carry) a judgment because of hardness and unbelief of some inhabitants in those places, who now only think about in economics and they have converted to self sustaining (or left the sustainer and money is their god). (next part not to sure of tense: saw or seen) I have seen a natural disaster (The Lord has also shown me about the 1964 earthquake) (her parenthesis: maybe she is speaking about two events?). But like all judgment there is opportunity of repentance and intercession on behalf of the church for these places. This is a warning and an opportunity that God gives today. But there is another situation, inside the church, especially within leadership, there is much sin due to the occult. Those who minister at the Alter have lost their fear of God. This also calls down judgment and impedes the church from rising up to be an intercessor before God. In the city of Bethel, the church has been preoccupied more with embellishment of the temple instead of adoring God with a clean and sincere heart. There is a great opportunity of revival, that the people of Alaska should take advantage of, because of regret of self-sufficiency and security in riches, God is willing to extend mercy. Another thing, there are servants, ministers who need to decide by repentance, that it is time to be intimate with God and not to wait for the enemy to uncover and damage thousands of people who want to follow the Lord.

The cities are located strategically and are responsible to cover Alaska in prayer.

Pastor whatever other word or message we receive we will send via email, or if you have any questions about this message please write. We are now interceding for Alaska, the ministers, the leaders and the believers in that place and for those who have become harden before God’s calling.

We say goodbye with a strong embrace and may the Lord bless you and your family by the grace of God. And don’t doubt in taking steps that the Lord is giving you, because the anointing and the help that you desire will have its place in a day and hour you least expect it. Rise and shine for the Glory of God is over you.
