From Gulkana, Alaska (Wednesday, October 31st, 2007)

Please pray for Norma White.  She is in excruciating pain.  The doctors have just found out that she has cancer in her stomach and it has spread to her liver.  They give her a 20% chance of surviving the rest of this year.  Norma is an intercessor and a strong woman of the Lord.  Please pray for her family, who need the Lord too.  There is nothing that our God cannot do.  Every name has to bow to the name of Jesus, even cancer.  Please email this to your prayer partners and email back any encouraging words that you have to tell her and I will make sure she gets it. 
 
Thank you,
Frances

From Wasilla, Alaska (November 7, 2007)

Dear Ones:
 

First, we are seeking the face of God, (11Chron. 7:14),

 
Then we reach out to each other in Love and Unity together as one Army in Alaska (Psalms 133), And God commanded a Blessing...
 
and finally any prayer request should be sent to Maria Pedro before Fri.  Fri. night they will be sent.  We will agree with each other for the needs of each other written or unwritten. I will be in Nikiski, and Michael will be in Kivilina, Becky and Pauline will be in Tetlin.
 
I know all of us have prayer requests, so please be inclusive of all those who are praying.  Also, please petition anyone else to pray as we want as many as possible to seek the face of God.  Please let others know where your prayer will be, and what time, for those that are in your area.

We need to seek the face of God.  Many people all over Alaska will pray together.  Let us agree together in unity and love for each other.  We will be ONE GREAT ARMY standing up together for the Glory of God to be revealed.

 
Please pass this on!
Laborers together in the Harvestfield,
 
Taikuu and May God's face shine upon you.

Mike and Barbara have their own ministry and website.  CLICK HERE to see what God is doing through them in Alaska!

“The Spirit speaks to God for his people in the way God wants.”
Romans 8:27

None of us pray as much as we should, but all of us pray more than we think, because the Holy Spirit turns our sighs into petitions and tears into entreaties. He speaks for you and protects you. He makes sure you get heard.

Now, suppose a person never…learns about the sealing and intercession of the Spirit. This individual thinks that salvation security resides in self, not God, and that prayer power depends on the person, not the Spirit. What kind of life will this person lead? A parched and prayerless one.

But what if you believe in the work of the Spirit? Will you be different as a result? You bet your sweet Sunday you will. Your shoulders will lift as you lower the buckling weight of self-salvation. Your knees will bend as you discover the buoyant power of the praying Spirit. Higher walk. Deeper prayers. And, most of all, a quiet confidence that comes from knowing it’s not up to you.


You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
 
--1 Peter 2:9
New International Version

From Mike and Barbara Curtis, who are becoming recognized as Native Apostles and are helping form an apostolic network of native ministries:
 
 
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.

 

Hi Mike and Barb,

Though I'm ministering in Brazil (another one in So.Am.!), I will be joining you and all the others in prayer on Saturday for my beloved Alaska and her peoples. 

I am including two words that Holy Spirit gave me before when interceding for Alaska, and He brought them to mind again today as I read your e-mail and said to share them with you, as encouragement and strength.  It was spoken to me, but I believe it is also for all of God's people who will unite in Him now and humble themselves and pray, and seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways.....(2 Chron 7:14), and we will see this happen, for He who spoke it is Faithful and True.

The first word was:

"There have been revivals and there have been revivals, but this one will be different. I, the Lord, will come and touch my people, even those who do not know Me. My holiness and My love will be the hallmarks of this revival to restore Alaska to Me. Make no mistake, I will do it. For I have set My love upon you and I know you love this land and its peoples. Ask and it shall be given to you, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing. You shall see it now and in the future as I move across this land. Arise, shine, for the light has come. The glory of the Lord is risen upon thee (Is 60:1)."

and later, the second word was:

"There is more, so much more---so very much more. This is just the beginning of the restoration and of that new thing I said I would do. Now is the beginning. Watch and see. I've not forgotten your prayers. I've not forgotten what I have promised. Little one, your Father delights to show you the kingdom---and because you have chosen me over all else, you shall have your heart's desire. You shall see great and mighty things that I shall do for you. Your beloved land shall be saved. The peoples of Alaska you have loved shall know Me and be redeemed along with their culture. They shall take their rightful place in the community of nations and their wisdom shall guide the leaders of the state. Test me in this---that I will truly perform all that I have said."

Brother Mike, be strengthened, be encouraged, be courageous.  Fear not!  Speak forth in love that which God has put on your heart.  It is for such a time as this.  I pray blessing, and honor, and increased favor from our Mighty God upon you, my brother.

Standing together with you in the Glorious Light of Jesus' beautiful face!
Ann
