Praise the Lord we're back in Venetie and it's been a blessing trip not just for me, but those young ladies that came with us they were a blessing and the trip been wonderful for my wife and I,because we don't do much ministry away from Venetie. Praise God we took of from Venetie on June 22ND and we stop in Ft.Yukon,then on to Chalkyitsik it took like 13 1/2 hours from Venetie to Chalkyitsik,we got to Cik. around 1:30 in the morning. As we were taking a break on black river I was remembering brother David,I was telling my wife that Brother David would stay up until I get to Chalkyitsik,I remember him saying this to me, I cook earlier, but they eat it up, you took too long. I told my wife he won't be there this time, so I went by Chalkyitsik and went to culture camp where I drop of my wife and the young ladies. I stay at brother Willie house, David grandson. Praise God. I did some one to one ministry and few counseling.
Tuesday I sang at the Episcopal church and it was a blessing I prayed for over a hour or so, I was praying for Chalkyitsik people and David's grandchildren.that David work won't be broken.as I started to worship and praise God the power of God filled on me and I sang for about 2 hours and put the speaker outside and minister to whoever was listening,I was told by a friend that he was listening to me and praise God, God did something in that person lives,that person needed Jesus.God send me to him.praise God.
Wednesday night was a blessing singing and preaching at the culture camp, I set up the sound system and sang into the night just worshiping the Lord. We had some testimonies.
Praise God for being faithful in our calling and obey what God want us to do.
Praise God I did something teaching about canoe making and just fellowship and tell some story about life and some clean jokes
I took the frame of birch canoe to culture camp to get it ready for putting on canvas instead of birch bark.
Thursday night I have a young man came a play guitar with me and we had a blast,praise God ,we had some young people testifying about the Lord and even the elder jump in.
I was also was blessed by elder man who wanted more of Jesus,he said I'm coming to Jesus,maybe tonight he said, that night that man was kneeling down and rev. Mary Nathaniel and my wife was praying for him,to see a native elder kneeling down to have more of Jesus is a blessing and I know heaven is rejoicing.because we don't see that often,because native men are tough and rough here in Alaska,they're not often humbly,but instead they are prideful and stubborn.but is there anything to hard for God,"No" we are going to see more of native men coming to the Lord and it's happening all ready.praise God lets keep native men in our prayer.
I know God did more then I can report,but if the trip is all for that one native man,the trip is worth it.praise God.God is good and thank you for all of you who help me get there and thank you for all your prayer,thank you again.and may God bless you until your cup runs over.
that day I finish putting the canvas on the canoe frame and few young people help me and we finish it praise God.
Friday we went back to Venetie it took us about 12 hours all the together and I was thinking about it,I know God gave me the strength to do all that driving and if it's up to me.I'll give up half way or properly won't even drive boat,because of my health issue that I'm still dealing with.but God! But God step in and gave me the power of the Holy Ghost to rise up  sing and preach everynight for about 3 hours a night.thank you God for Jesus and the Holy Ghost and your word
I'm sending some pictures the first one is on the way to Chalkyitsik and the sec. one is at culture camp revival  the last one is on chandadar river on the back home it was a midnight son.
God bless you and thank you for a;ll your support and prayer

Praise the Lord,I've been on my bike now for a week and I feel good and when I feel good is more easy to pray and serve God.You know it take energy to serve God or I should say follow Jesus, because Jesus is strong and we need to be strong in body and spirit.Praise God.hallelujah,yeah just few weeks ago I feel like retiring from evangelism,but today after one week of biking and being with God.I've renew my vision and I know I'm going in the right direction and because I'm doing something about how I feel about God and life.
So come and join me and lets ride our bike this summer. to good health and renew spirit.
God bless you allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
I'll be going to Fairbanks on Wednesday for doctor appointment,I've been having problem with my hip for about 10 years or so,just last year they told me I need hip replacement,but I still believe God will heal me.but right now I'm heading in that direction looking into hip replacement,because I can't stand being in pain all the time.now I've been in pain constantly for 5 years. Every time I stand for few minutes or even sitting down I would hurt.
As I thought about all my travel in the past years,only God give me strength to do what I need to do to minister.most of the time I ministered while I'm in pain.
But today I have new vision in what I'm going to do and I feel God is in it.
This is what I've learn about doctor and surgery. "Doctor may cut you up,but only God will heal that cut back together"
So today I need your prayer and support during this time to stay focus and stay healthy.
God bless you alll
I'm not complaining, I'm explaining ahahahahahahehehehehe

 

Prophetic Word over Alaska

 
A Warning to Alaska, The Horses Are Coming! Part I

By Dr. Robin Harfouche

Prophetic Word given in Chugiak, Alaska on November 19th, 2008

**Horses representation of opposition and promotion

I have been all over the world in the last 2 months, and in 8 different time zones preaching the Gospel.  The last visit before I arrived to Alaska was Norway.  While ministering in Norway, I found the country in a panic over the elections in America.  A very influential, Christian, educated, Norwegian man—while interviewing me live on television to over 38 European countries—asked me to agree and pray with him over the air for a 44-year old Alaskan woman…who is saved and filled with the Holy Ghost. (I’m not political; I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat as long as you are born again!)  This Holy Spirit filled Norwegian man said, “If the right person does not get in the White House, and they pull out the troops in Iraq, then Russia will overthrow Norway.  Please pray that America will get straightened out.” 

WORLD’S EYES ON ALASKA

The world’s eyes right now are on Alaska. Be it far from me to have known 8 years ago—when I started coming up to Alaska—that it was going to matter to the rest of the world.    I have spent the last 3 nights up, praying in the Holy Ghost for Alaska, and the pain of the travail was great.  I asked the Lord, “Why do I hurt so bad?” and He replied, “Because if you walk with the footmen and they have wearied you, how are you going to run with the horses?”

“If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?”

 Jeremiah 12:5 KJV

What is about to happen to the state of Alaska?  Alaska is about to be overrun by oil people!  There is going to be a lot of wheelin’ and dealin’ going on…a lot of money changing hands…there will be strategies, transactions, and discussions going on behind closed doors that you know not of.  If you don’t have your eyes open you will be swindled.  The oil companies will try to purchase your land and take it from you—but yet make it look as if it were an answer from Heaven.  Be aware, Alaska. 

If you have walked with the footmen and have been weary—you better watch out—because the horses are coming! If you are weary now with what God has given you, what are you going to do when a horse runs you over? 

Alaska, you have been with the footmen, and have kept the horses out till this point.   You can’t keep out the horses—but you can steer them in the right direction.  You can’t keep them out—but you can get a reign on them.  You can steer them where Jesus tells you He wants them to go.  As you take your authority and dominion—and reign over the horses—they will not tread over your land.  You can’t let them run you down or run you over.  I am speaking to Spirit-filled believers:  Govern what God has put in your hands—not just in the natural—but in the Spirit.  If God has given you strength in the Spirit over Alaska, then you need to start executing it and using it.  Binding and loosing.  Exercise your authority!

The world is watching and all eyes turn—including China and North Korea—and all the eyes of the world turn to Alaska!  They turn and they look…. and all of a sudden it is found there is enough wealth in Alaska to make America an independent country.  But Alaska will not be raped!  God sent a prophet up here to tell you we need to pray and have discernment—especially over the next 2 years. 

THE HORSES ARE COMING!  KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!

I am here to warn you that the horses are coming.  I am here to warn anyone who owns anything, anyone who is in business, or owns a business:  Keep your eyes and ears open and ask the Holy Spirit for discernment of the spirit before you make decisions on anything…because God has placed reservoirs of hidden treasure in this country.  You hear about people calling this God’s country.  Yes, this is Gods country.  Eskimos tell me they are a people of the land—yes, you are people of the land—but this is God’s land too!  What does God want to use Alaska for?  To save us!  You moved up here to get away from the population.  Well I have news!  You have only been with the footmen so far…the horses are coming and on their way

I don’t know where you are going to move next?  I don’t think there is anywhere else in America that is more remote than here?  Where are you going to go next?  I’m talking about us Christians!  We are the obstacle that is keeping the manifestation of the one-world government.  We are the obstacle that is keeping the manifestation of the antichrist.  We are the obstacle that prevents evil from taking over the entire planet.  We are the obstacle that is standing in the way of the spirit of mammon.   And it would be just like God to take the foolish things of this world to confound the wise—to get an innocent people like the Alaskan people— that would stand in the way of the manifestation of the antichrist.

The horses and horsemen are coming fast!  If you handle it right, you will see blessing and God-results.  If you do not handle it with the wisdom of Christ, you will have man-results.  You will not be happy in 10 years if you don’t make the right decision in the next 2 years.  The decisions the people of God make within the next 2 years will determine what is going to happen to the rest of America and the rest of the world!  You may think, “How is God going to change the world with just 600,000 people.”  Well how about that 120 that were in the upper room? 

KEEP YOUR FEET ON IT!

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

Joshua 1:3 KJV

If you own something don’t sell it!  I don’t care what you own! I don’t care if it’s a pea patch—don’t sell it!  Keep your feet on it!  Say, “Right where my feet stand…that is the land that Jesus has given me.”  Jesus said that in the last days there was going to be a great transference of wealth.   He’s gotta transfer wealth into the hands of His people for the preaching of the Gospel—and in the middle of it you will be blessed.  Goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life—followed all the way up here.  “Well all I own is a tackle store.”  That’s when the footmen were here!  How about when the horses come?  They are going to want to turn that tackle store into a Super-Super Wal-Mart.  But if you have your feet on it—you can negotiate by the Holy Ghost….through word of knowledge and word of wisdom—and quadruple-zillion the price!  Keep your foot on it Alaska, because you don’t know what’s underneath it!!!!

THE WARFARE: SPIRIT OF MAMMON… THE SYMPTOMS

All of a sudden a spotlight came on Alaska—and a depression came on!  And you felt it! Especially in the last 6 to 7 weeks.  Right then is when it came on because the world, the mammon…that dirty devil…that is his only power...the mammon and the money.  He looked this direction! 

All we have to do is recognize that is what happened. Everybody has been saying, “What’s wrong with me?” “What’s wrong with me?” “Why do I feel like running?” “Why do I feel like turning everything in?”  This is just warfare! This is not you!  It’s been a little abnormal, hasn’t it? How about trust? Hasn’t that been a little more difficult for you than normal?   Other symptoms…exhaustion.  You haven’t been able to keep your mind focused.  You have been numb.  Your physical body has been having pain.  You haven’t been feeling like getting up in the morning.  You haven’t been able to see clearly.  I came here to break it off you—and I’m going to break it off the state while I’m up here.  Again, these are just lying symptoms of the spirit of mammon that is trying to move in.

When the mammon devil starts looking at you—mammon is the power of the devil—that’s his only power. The Anointing is the power of God. The anointing will destroy every yoke. Mammon is the power that operates in the world and runs the world’s system. Mammon is a spirit. The Bible says you can’t love mammon and God at the same time. You will love one and hate the other.  Mammon turns its eyes towards Alaska and says, “Oh, I can go in there, buy up their land, and offer them wealth as those people are ignorant and don’t know any better.” 

Praise God, we are neither unaware nor ignorant of the enemies schemes!

Be encouraged Alaska!  When international attention comes to you, then God sends more angels than ever before to that one place. Alaska has more angels with it now than it had 5 years ago.  Because international attention came here—and the spirit of mammon and the spirit of man comes in to steal and try to get his way through—but God will send His hosts to take care of you. 

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, they you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and have done all, stand.

Ephesians 6:10

 In the original language, that position of stance is “stand” but you’re leaning forward. It’s not a stance of ease; it’s a stance of aggression. The only enemy that we really face is ignorance of the Word of God.  Why? Because all of the power of the world, all the power of money, all the power of mammon cannot defeat the anointing— it can’t. But handling the transference of wealth takes wisdom, takes anointing, it takes loving Jesus with all of your heart. Being a steward over what God gives you when He gives you a lot—it takes a lot of wisdom and a lot of leaning on God. Trust in Him. He’ll give us direction. God has made us a steward.  We’ll take care of it…it’s His stuff. We’ll take care of it.

HARVEST TIME!  GET READY!

If you stumble in the safe country, how will you manage with the thickets by the Jordan?

 Jeremiah 12:5b NIV

In the King James, it says, And if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?  The swelling is HARVEST.  When Jordan swells, it’s about to be harvest time.  So what the Scripture is saying is this:  If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how are you going to compete with the horses (promotion)? And if you stumble in the safe country how will you manage at harvest time? 

The swelling of Jordan is the harvest time.  Jordan will swell up and overflow its banks when it’s getting ready to be harvest time.  You want to know what time it is in Alaska?  You have been with the footmen…and the horses (promotion) are on the way.  Why?  Because it is your harvest time!  It is harvest time—harvest time for Alaska!  And it is no accident that Alaska is coming up on its 50th year as a state!  Hallelujah! Harvest time—not just talking about money—talking about people.  People that are going to be saved because of your wisdom, because of your prayers—people are going to be saved.

What did I come to Alaska to say? Get Ready, get ready, get ready!  Get ready for what?  Get ready for an oveRabundance of ridiculous proportions of blessing!   And an overabundance of prosperity that you will not be swindled from, and no one will be able to take from you—if you stay hooked up to the Holy Ghost.  Stay close—He will direct you every step of the way.  God wants you to get your hands on the money!    God wants you blessed!  God wants you abundantly blessed more than you can imagine or think.  God wants your lands blessed! 

Oh yeah… but if you run with the footmen and they have worn you out, how can you run with the horses?  I’m just here to tell you that the horses are coming.  And I’m here to tell you that the Christians that are in Alaska and that are born again and hear God—matter.

 I’m here to tell you…the horses are coming.  This is not a negative word, this is just a real word and a word to the born again, Spirit-filled believer.  Listen to Jesus and do what Jesus says to do, don’t do anything unless Jesus says do it, don’t move unless Jesus tells you to move.   Stay close to the moving of His Spirit, and let Him guide and direct you—and you will find an overflow of blessing of the transference of wealth. 

Get ready, it is upon you, Alaska.

Note:  It wasn’t but 5 days after this word was given that there was a “God performance” on this word!  See article that the Anchorage Daily News released on November 24th, 2008:
