Jacob farmer , Don M., Andy G., Pat F., Phi H., David S. and Joshua S. met with Dave Brave Heart and witnessed the pouring out of three bottles of tears that Jacob farmer and others had carried during the recent ride for remembrance, traveling by horseback for 330 miles from Crow Creek SD to Land of Memories, in Mankato, MN. Jacob farmer and others walked a portion of that trip on foot.  Several of us joined them on December 26th for the last leg 3.4 miles from  Dakota Wokiksuye Makoce

It was a wonderful day for us as we served in a unique opportunity to walk out   the subject of our prayers. History for those who are new to this story... This year it seemed obvious to be a part of the Dakota 38+2  ride for remembrance .  Since we had been praying for reconciliation since august 4th of this year right up until today. It was with great pleasure that we helped feed about 350 Dakota and friends who took part in the final trek from Land of Memories park into Mankato and finally arriving at the Monument in Reconciliation Park, the site of the infamous simultaneous hanging of 38 Dakota Braves. I was honored to walk at the back of the pack of wal

The Lord has anointed me to. .. preach the gospel to the poor, proclaim liberty to the captives, release to the prisoners, heal the broken hearted. Andy had a picture tonight and the impression of the Lord;s hand being upon somebody, he didn't know exactly who.  The hand of the Lord is upon you,  We prayed this phrase out over the leadership, the congregation and the region, for many things and we prayed for needs in the group. We talked about the Ride for Remembrance riders and our plans to serve them this next week. We need a couple of people to purchase a turkey and cook it and bring it to the Fea

Keep believing and keep praying there is an amazing expectation in the kingdom for what we will see in the coming days. This passage in Daniel sums up what is welling up in my heart at this moment: "SINCE THE FIRST DAY THAT YOU SET YOUR MIND TO GAIN UNDERSTANDING AND TO HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE YOUR GOD, YOUR WORDS WERE HEARD, AND I HAVE COME IN RESPONSE TO THEM"     Daniel 10.12. Many oth

We met the riders in Flandreau, SD last night. We hand-delivered to the chief the  Specific confession and repentance.  I told him we should have come to them  FIRST to ask for forgiveness instead of them coming to us.  He gave us both a big hug.  Jim showed me his post on Facebook regarding Jacob Farmer's walk and said it was well received. A Prophetic Journey 17  And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold,  I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats . 18  Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the

Well, today Dec 18 I went to Stephen's blog and read the Dallas conference report and found a couple of interesting things... From God's Kingdom Ministries. ..Our first appeal to receive this dominion came   on   November 29, 1993* during the Jubilee Prayer Campaign  Although our appeal was won, it took 20 years to complete.    On November 14-30, 1996 we saw the first major sign of this transfer of dominion when the Coronation Stone was transferred from London to

Certain agents of that government were corrupt and treated this indigenous nation as second class Americans. They took their land, hunting grounds, means of livelihood, through treaties that later were broken.  They moved entire populations onto reservations

20 Years Completed, poised for Third Sabbath Year For those of you who know me personally, you may have heard me share lately my impression that things of 20 years ago were being RESTORED OR RETURNED this year.  It was loosely connected to the whole declaring Jubilee thing but actually came originally as part of a dream I had much earlier this year. In that dream of a house collapsing, I was calling people to come out of the house before it collapsed. In my daytime job, I work for a friend who first connected me to Mankato 21 years ago, although he no longer physically lives here, he will remain connected to Mankato.  Coincidentally, I am currently preparing to move out of that very house (the one in my dream and the one I lived in the first six weeks in Mankato.) And I am moving back into a home office, the same office I moved into at home, 20 yrs. ago, late in 1993.) At that particular time, I worked for Cellular 2000, and they announced that there was a shortage of room and th

On Dec 22 at the Lower Sioux Reservation in Morton, MN we have an opportunity to peel potatoes, boil water and in short to prepare and serve dinner to our Indian brothers. The riders are on their annua l journey from Crow Creek , South Dakota traveling 333 miles by ho

During the Sioux war in the 1860s, he wrote letters to Washington D.C. warning the Federal Government of corruption among the Indian Agents and their staff. Mistreatment was documented as well as other things that went on during that season leading up to the conflict. Les was asked to play and sing a song he wrote God is Good. Don, Phil, and some other friends went along. Soldier Jacob at 78 years old is planning to walk part of the 333-mile journey from Crow Creek South Dakota, to Mankato later this month. He plans to carry a b

Angels on Assignment You have probably already read chapter 6 in Angels on Assignment but I just wanted to point out something that really fits with our prayer campaign and the prophetic days we are in now.  In this sixth chapter, the angel comes to Roland Buck and communicates the 7 priorities of God.  This is a message straight from the throne because the angels are only obedient to speak what God tells them to say.  What is interesting to me is that these seven priorities line up perfectly with the 7 feasts which were commanded by the Lord as is pointed out in this chapter.
