RE:  Departing India … Unto Hong Kong / China (June 1, 2015)

Greetings PTH Friends & Intercessors!
     Perhaps you’ve heard the expression, “Talk to the hand!”  Typically, it is not a gesture one would be excited about! … believe me, as a special education teacher – I’ve encountered that signal before!  However, on this occasion with the language barrier, we were very happy to “talk to the hand.”  Our scheduled flight to leave Lucknow, India was 2:00 PM (Monday), and we were not leaving the residence of our stay until noon.  In the back of my mind I was having flashbacks of the ticket counter and security process from last time we departed India – not the fastest train on the track. 
     In many foreign countries, people are not permitted enter the airport without documentation of a ticket, so you can imagine the relief when in transit, Pastor Tony announced he had made a phone call to his friend at the airport to help us with our luggage and the ticketing process.  All I can say is … that was the favor of God!  Otherwise, Nancy and I would still be standing out in the Indian heat … Real live Baked Alaskan!  I was glad for the communication to “Talk to the hand” – letting us know to go or stay – move here or wait there …. The last “talk to the hand” message – “High Five!” was a sign of thank you! And a sign from the Lord … “HIGH FIVE: … (help from on high … #5 for grace).
     So, here we are in Hong Kong.  Like India, what a blessing to be reunited with some very dear and precious friends!  First on the schedule (yesterday), was a gathering of Aglow Leadership.  Wow, it was awesome to see the spiritual maturity in all the ladies; And a hunger for so much more.  We also had the privilege of meeting some Taiwanese people: Two Pastors (husband and wife) and another gal were in attendance as a new Aglow is about to be launched in Taiwan. 

      The Aglow Leadership did a great job setting the stage for the day!  Warriors – rise up and be strong in the Lord!  Know who you are in Christ!  Recognize you are called and are mighty leaders.  Alice, (the Aglow National President of HK/China & Asia Regional Chairman) … and …super mom / happy wife, gave a great introduction to set the stage for the teaching the Lord gave Nancy about being positioned for destiny.
     Prerequisite for destiny: “What’s in your cup?” (Explained in the last PTH report).   A sign of a good and ready leader means evaluating one’s heart so as not to be walking in unforgiveness or bitterness.   Furthermore, being conscious about what you are meditating on.  What thoughts are you entertaining?  Thinking on “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute?” (Phil. 4:8a).  OR is the meditation of the heart murmuring, complaining, offended, etc.?  “Bad company corrupts good character” (1 Cor. 15:33a)…. not only “people” company, but also the company kept in thoughts.  What do we meditating on?  A Godly leader meditates on the Word of God.  
     I love the lyrics of the an old secular song “Accentuate the Positive”.  One line says:  “Don’t mess with Mr. In-between.”  If we waiver in our thoughts and who we are in Christ, that leaves an invitation to the enemy … that “unsure / in between” place – and the enemy is more than willing to cast the negative and negate the positive …. Thus, we do have to accentuate the positive – standing firm on who God is and who we are in Christ.
     For the sake of time, I’ll share “my notes” from Nancy’s teaching regarding positioning leaders for destiny.

4 Keys To Your Destiny:  
1) Let It Go
      A good leader –  Let’s it go:  get over your offenses, etc.  Get over yourself – it is not about you!  The Lord is doing a new thing – a “New Birthing” in this hour and sometimes we just have to “Let it Go” so God can work.  Is there something we are holding so tightly that it doesn’t give God room to put the “new” in our hands?”  A Key word in “letting go”  is “renounce”.  Sometimes, old things creep in – again, and we need to renounce them in the name of Jesus; even if it is daily!  Renounce it to completion … Letting go requires action on our part: renouncing is action!
          
2) Get Ready
     “Gird up the loins of your mind” (1 Peter 1:13a / NKJV); “Get yourself ready!” (Jer. 1:17 / NIV).  Again – requiring action from us!  We must do our part.  Where is our focus?  On Jesus? … the Author and Finisher!  A good leaders keeps their eyes focused on Jesus – regardless the situation or issue at hand … not fixing on the distractions!
     One of the ways the Lord helps us individually to prepare / “to get ready” is through prophetic words.  I have been in countless gatherings where the spirit of prophesy is active and I get so excited when people receive a prophetic word because I, myself have been there.  And, having been there, I also know there is an active part required from us in order for the prophetic word to come to fruition.  I know many of you know  what I am talking about!  
     Years ago, I received a prophetic word about an anointing for music, writing and recording songs, traveling the world, etc.  Keep in mind, this was at a time when “my world” consisted of going to work and going home; I knew a few basic chords on the guitar but definitely didn’t play it.  Quite frankly, I didn’t even know the difference in the strings, other than the obvious.  Plus, I had never written a song in my life!  Get the picture!  This was a word declaring what the Lord had in store for me … but I had to do my part to “get myself ready”!

     I had a choice:  I could have waited around and reiterated this prophesy to myself – just restating it – never picking up a guitar, never attempting to pick up a pen … never going out of my house … wondering when this prophesy would be fulfilled…. basically, just being excited about the “news” or idea of it.  OR, I could do this:  Acknowledge that it clearly was not manifested in me yet, still by faith and meditating on God’s Word and His leading, He would do what He said He would do.  See, the “Get Ready” part was not so much about the gifting God wanted to put in me – that was just the manifestation of time spend with Him … He gives gifts / gifting so they can be opened by others and used for His Glory.  
     I share that personal testimony because I have been in many meetings / services and heard powerful prophetic words:  prophesies of financial turn-arounds, or families reunited, vindications on the horizon, wombs opening, or for some, a spouse is in the future, etc.  This is exciting, but I also know from experience, it is not just going to ‘happen’.  We have to align ourselves with HIM.
     During the meeting, there was a “Question & Answer” time so the ladies could ask Nancy specific questions.  I personally was blessed to hear the interaction and clarity Nancy provided to the ladies.  One particular answer I found most helpful was regarding prophesies fulfilled or not fulfilled.  The Lord spoke to Nancy specifically about prophetic words and why some don’t come to pass.  He told her a couple things:  Firstly, she was just the mailman and is not responsibly for how His mail is read.  Secondly, the “get ready” part is on the receiver of the prophetic word – they have to align themselves with ME (meaning the Lord) first, and I (God) will bring to pass what I have spoken according to My plan. Furthermore, the Lord spoke to Nancy and said some words are not fulfilled because people are fixed more on the “idea” of the prophetic word rather than keeping their eyes on the ONE and aligning themselves with the ONE as He brings to pass what He said.  In other words, we can get so fixed on the “gift” and how we think it should come verses the “Giver”.
     To simplify the “Get Ready” step even more, we clearly have a part to ready ourselves, but we can also get so stuck on the way “we” think it should come to pass, and try to control what we want … the “idea” and miss what God has.
     Yes, it is possible to miss a prophetic word!  I had a great prophesy about music (not the guitar) but music.  I could have locked myself into the idea of “piano” when I received that prophesy years ago because that had always been a desire of my heart.  I also could have missed it if I had complained because I didn’t have a piano, etc.  … Hence, back to step 1… “Let It Go.”  Let it go – stay in His Word and be open to how HE will fulfill what He said.  

3)  Do The Possible
     Another key to destiny is aligning ourselves to do what we can do so that we are in position for divine appointments.  Remember the woman with issue?   Nancy reminded the ladies that the woman with issue went against the law of the land (to be out in the crowd, etc. while bleeding) to position herself to receive.  She took the possible (what she could do in the strength and knowledge she had) and positioned herself so God could do the impossible.  Another example Nancy shared was the story from Luke, chapter 5:  Friends lowered their friend down through the roof (did the possible) to position him in front of Jesus (to do the impossible).  Which leads to the last step Nancy shared.

4) Positioned for the Impossible
     Again, we have to do our part – the possible, so God can do the Impossible – His part.  Leaders – don’t be distracted!  Keep your focus on Jesus – meditate on His Word, pray and fast.  Then, God can do the impossible!

     Friends – we (whether in person or in prayer) are here in Hong Kong / China, doing the possible , along with those of you journeying with us through prayer, so that God can do the impossible through all of us – through you – His servants.  Again, thank you so much for your prayer coverage!  IT MATTERS!

     Regardless the distance barrier and miles across the land and nations, know this:  The Lord is giving you His “High 5” and saying thank you saints for your mighty prayers!

Lucknow, India / May 2015

Dear PTH Friends,

Approaching the ticket counter, I took one last glance at our ticket information and this caught my eye:  “Not available for upgrade” …. hmmm – wasn’t even thinking about an upgrade.  I was more concerned that we had only a 30 minute connection on an international flight … and sometimes it can take 30 minutes just to disembark!  But we were confident that God had written our itinerary.  When our tickets were scanned to board the plane, the machine pumped out a new ticket … “1C & 1D” …. First Class – Christ Delivers.  God’s Favor for sure, but the point is this:   “It positioned us for our connection”!  Spiritually speaking, positioning can be everything!    Regardless the “ticket(s)” man issues in life, God sovereignly moves when His people pray!

Thank you for you prayer coverage!

Nancy and I arrived in India safely … loooong flight(s), but very smooth!  However, one of Nancy’s suitcases took the looooooooooger flight plan, but eventually arrived … just in time.

The “Armor of God” Ladies Conference 2015 started Tuesday (5/26) in Lucknow, India.  I would say Nancy wasn’t feeling so hot, but that would not be entirely accurate –  she was feeling quite hot –  like Indian heat-hot.  I’m not sure what the temperature was, but it is kind of like home (in my opinion):  Alaska, cold – anything below zero is just cold.  So, whether 100 degrees or 120 degrees – it equates to heat and more heat!  Plus, the first dose of tasty Indian food was not a mutual agreement for both mine and Nancy’s system – just sayin’.  I didn’t realize I really felt bad, but let me put it this way – I was very glad to throw up!  I realize this is probably more detail than you want to read about.  However, I want you to know your prayers matter!  The combination of sleep deprivation, new foods, and probably a bug of some sort – well, what could have been a long, drawn out miserable illness was short lived!  PTH!

Back to the conference!  The ladies looked so beautiful in their colorful saris and their warm welcome was a sweet fragrance from heaven.  It was wonderful to be reunited with many familiar faces and embraces.  Regardless the language barrier, these things are universal:   smiles, hugs, “Praise the Lord” …. and “selfies”.

Both Nancy and I noticed such spiritual maturity in these women since the last time we were here. These women have truly grown in the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord.  In writing to you, it is hard to choose what to share with you because each message / session has had something new and fresh; teachings of “back to basics,” as well as those of deeper understanding in His word.  Thus, I will pick two of my favorite teachings.  I’ll title the first teaching: “What’s in Your Cup?”.  Secondly, a message about “How To Overcome: 4 Biblical Principles WE Apply”

What’s in Your Cup?
Years ago, the Lord gave Nancy this teaching.  At the time, it was personal for her, the depth, yet simplicity of this teaching continues to be fresh manna for today.  This “cup stuff” will always be relevant regardless of what part of the world we live in, as long as we are God’s people.  Why?  Because it is a biblical principle!

Years ago, the Lord instructed Nancy to draw a picture of a cup on a piece of paper.  On the cup, she was to write the names of anyone that came to mind who hurt her.  Much to her amazement, her cup was filled to overflowing.  The Lord asked Nancy:  Do you know what this represents????  … A cup of unforgiveness and bitterness.  Overwhelmingly grieved with the revelation the Holy Spirit had revealed about the condition of her heart, Nancy quickly crumbled the paper and attempted to discard it as quickly as possible.  However, the Lord had a better way to rid unforgiveness and bitterness that she didn’t even know she was carrying in her heart.  The Lord told her to go get “her paper cup” and run it under the running water.  “…having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word”… (Eph. 5:26b).  

Wow!  At some point in life, we have all been (or will be again) hurt or disappoint, etc.  Check and see what is in your cup!  He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow … and He desires our cups be full of freedom in Him.  Forgive others and we will be forgiven … (Matt. 6:14, etc.).  The need for forgiveness is universal teaching and always relevant!  So, draw yourself a cup! 🙂

I love God’s Word!  I love how the seemingly “old stories” of the Bible are NEVER old!  So it is with the following message the Lord gave Nancy from Numbers chapters 6 and 21.  I wish I could scribe the entire message but my hope is to give you enough of the teaching, (as I heard it) that you can pull in for yourself, the application in your own life … just as these here in India have testified.

God spoke to Moses years ago, and God is still speaking the same message today!  A message of hope and overcoming whatever you are going through / facing.  YOU can Activate these four principals in your own life:

How to Overcome: 4 Biblical Principals WE Apply”
1:  Blessing (Numbers 6:22-27)
Bless … and bless daily!  Bless your spouse, your children, your church; Your brothers and sisters in Christ.  Yes, even bless your enemies!  Consider this:  If you are not blessing, are you cursing?  Are you holding back the blessings the Lord has put in you to share with those in need?  Blessing will bring peace to your household … your heart … any storm or circumstance.  Blessings will change the atmosphere!

2: Sing to Your Well (Numbers 21: 14-17)
Verse 14 makes mention of the “Book of the Wars of the Lord.”  Don’t you know that would have been some interesting reading and strategies for war!  One of the war tactics of that time was to fill water wells with rocks, etc…. plug the well.  That might not seem like a biggie now, but if you had millions of thirsty people knocking at your door –  that’s relevant.  

Make it personal:  Our heart is like a well.  What’s in your well?  Has life’s circumstances thrown rocks in your well?  Are you discouraged?  In need of healing? Financial? Family / children? Everyday heart aches?  OR, maybe you’ve thrown rocks in your own well? Statements or the mentality of: …I can’t … I don’t have anything to offer … I’m not gifted like so & so …. Woe is me … I’ll just screw up again … Well, last time, this is what happened …  I’m being judged! … I’m not liked / loved … etc…. you get the idea.  

Whatever is clogging the wells of our hearts, the point is, we want / NEED our “wells” to spring up from within.  Here’s how, according to God’s Word:  Gather together with others and “sing to your own well” (vs. 16b-17).  Yes, sing to your well a new song of the Lord … a song of hope – not despair!  “Spring up, O well!!! Sing to it! (vs. 17b).  We have to do our part!  We may not be able to control storms but we can protect our well!

3:  Prayer (Numbers 6:1-3)
A vow!  Before Nancy even had a chance to do an in-depth study regarding “vow”,  the Lord told her it was the New Testament prayer / intercession for this hour.  Sure enough, according to the Greek, vow and prayer are basically interchangeable.  

Whether man or woman (vs.2) … set yourself apart – dedicate yourself to abstain from what you eat or drink – also known as “fasting”!  Consecrate yourself – your cause to the Lord.  Everywhere we go, the Lord is giving Nancy a charge to release to the people:  Pray & Fast; Listen to the Lord; Read His Word (you want to hear God’s voice? … Read His Word and you’ll understand His language.)  Discipline yourself … make a vow … pray!

4:  Lift Your Head (Numbers 21: 6-9)
The Scene in a Nutshell:  The people complained, gossips about their leaders / situations, murmured, etc.  The Lord had His fill and sent snakes;  Many were bitten and died as a result.  Yikes!!!  The people, reevaluated their actions / words, repented and this is what happen:  The Lord instructed Moses to make a bronze snake and set it on a standard that if anyone was bitten, they could lift their head – look at it and be healed.

Here’s the point:  The Lord did not remove the problem (snakes), but He provided a way out.  However, there was a demand, a requirement – each had to his/her part as an individual – LIFT YOUR HEAD!  Today, we get bitten in life’s circumstances – some of our own doing or not doing, complaining, etc.; Sometimes, we have no control over “life’s bites.”  Still, lift your head … “Fix your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith … joy set before us…” (Heb. 12:2).

I encourage you to go back and read these accounts in Numbers for yourself and let the Holy Spirit take you deeper into this teaching Nancy has shared.

Nancy also shared this four key message with young men in Bible School preparing for the ministry.  It was powerful!  And I must say, before Nancy spoke, I began to play my guitar but I could hardly sing because I was just overwhelmed with the drawing of hunger in these young men!  They were so humble and thirsty for God’s Word and I know they inhaled every word the Lord had Nancy share with them. 

I hope that you will study each young man’s face because the Lord gave Nancy a powerful prophetic word over them for their nation:  That they will bring change to India!  So pray for them … through the years…. if you are willing, the Holy Spirit will prompt you to pray because the Lord will truly fulfill His Word in their lives and where He is calling them.  

Nancy and I took a little tour of the “kitchen” at the conference center to see what was on the menu for lunch.  I am “stirring” Chola – a spicy mixture of vegetables in season and beans.  Nancy took a peek at the fresh “Chapati” (Indian Tortillas).

I stated earlier, I had two of my favorite messages to share … I guess I lied, I have three.  I must also include this nugget the Holy Spirit gave Nancy from His Word.  Remember the blind man in John 9:1-12? … the one whom Jesus used his spit to make mud and smear over the man’s eyes.  Jesus then told him to go to Siloam and wash.  Ponder these relevant life’s lesson illuminated from this teaching:
     – Jesus did a “crazy thing” (from a human perspective)
     – And, if that wasn’t enough, Jesus gave him a directive to “go and do something on his own” … go wash (an activation of faith before seeing).
     – How many people do you think the “mud-eyed man” passed before he reached his destination?   Can you imagine some of those people reaching out to help wash the mud from the man’s eyes?  It must have been quite a sight to see a blind man with mud on his eyes?  I’m thinking, perhaps they may have also thought him to be on the crazy side.  
     – Here is the point:  Jesus gave him specific instructions to see … on the path to his healing / freedom according to God’s way, how many people wanted to “step in” and wash the mud from his face?  I can imagined it also took some self-discipline on his part to resist the help of others as “man’s way” may seem easier or at least controllable.
Don’t be distracted by what / who surrounds you when you know what God has called you to do!  Apply that to your life and watch how the Holy Spirit can move in your life – your situation.  Amen!

Keep this little guy in prayer … for the next 30+ years.   Currently, he is a little boy who is deaf and mute.  However, when Nancy prayed for him, the Holy Spirt said that when he is 34 years old, he will be speaking and preaching the gospel!  Seems like a very long road for him to “Siloam to wash,” but with God, time does not nullify His promises!

Tomorrow is Sunday here in India.  Nancy will be speaking at the main Assembly of Believers Church (ABC).  Then, in the evening, she will speak at another ABC church in a surrounding town.
On Monday, we head to Hong Kong.  Please pray specifically for China – that  our VISA applications will be according to God’s will and be processed to make His divine connection(s).

Again, we can’t thank you enough for your prayer coverage. We have witnessed the power of God’s protective hedge around us; our very steps, health … not to mention the traffic pattern (and I use “pattern” very loosely)  Years ago, Nancy nicknamed the driver “Superman,” if that helps bring clarity!  Seriously, we recognize the power of your prayers!  You are with us all the way!  And we are praying for you!  We need each other!

I started this report by saying “positioning can be everything.”  Let me leave you with expression Nancy has been emphasizing:  Prayer helps position us for the possible so God can do the impossible!
Blessings to all,

Sincerely,

                                Ben, Nancy, & Henry

This past week end, PTH held a Holy Spirit Encounter conference in Anchorage, Alaska.  The theme was (and continues for this year):  “War Cry!  God’s Redemptive Rest”.  Isaiah 8:9 is a charge to “Raise the war cry, you nations, and be shattered!  Listen, all you distant lands.  Prepare for battle, and be shattered!  Prepare for battle and be shattered!” As believers, we are at war, yet we can live in rest when we follow the principals found in Romans 12.

Nancy’s evening messages were powerful!  The Lord has given her a timely message for the Body of Christ… “Back to Basics for the mature.  There were 12 workshops focused on topics from Romans chapter 12.  Evening messages and workshops will be available to hear on the website in the near future (www.pointtohope.org  & click on:  PTH Audio Blog).  

Point To Hope conferences are always called “Holy Spirit Encounter.”  Why?  Because the Holy Spirit is invited to have His way and minister to individuals.  Nancy and the workshops are designed to illuminate a teaching from God’s Word (Rev.21:23 – God illuminated it / The Lamb is its Light) and impart truth from the Word (Rom. 1:11 – gifts to make you strong). Then, activate!  (Phil. 4:9 – what you’ve learned / seen … put it into practice).

Being called to be a servant of the Most High isn’t a call to be comfortable!  It is a call to serve obediently, according to the Word of God!  A calling that we don’t have to do alone, but we have been given the power of the Holy Spirit … we just have to yield and show up!  If He calls – He equips!

I say all that to say this:  thank you for your prayers!  The protection of your prayer coverage moves the heart of God and opens ears to hear so that people can go deeper in their walk with the Lord.  He promises to hear when we call and open prison doors to set the captives free … freedom so that we can become the Bride He has intended for us to be.  So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed! (John 8:36).  And there is nothing like FREEDOM IN THE LORD!  That is peace at war! … Redemptive Rest!

This coming week end (May 1-3, 2015), Nancy and I will be heading up to Delta Junction, Alaska.  We would so appreciate your prayer coverage.  The name of Jesus will be lifted up in Delta Junction, Alaska!  And the Lord says about Himself:  “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth (Delta Jct.), will draw all people to Myself” (John 12:32).

Also, on May 23, 2015, Nancy and I will be heading to Lucknow, India where Nancy will be speaking at a Women’s Conference.  We will then be headed to Hong Kong.  While in Hong Kong, we will fly into Beijing, Capitol of China, to pray.  Then we will head to the capital cities of the following countries to pray:  Philippines, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, Russia, and Israel.  We will be back in the USA in mid July (Georgia / South Carolina area).  Watch the website for a more detailed timeline.

“Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.”  (Joel 3:9).

Tired from the battle(s)? … Feeling weak? – physically or spiritually?  The Lord has a remedy for that!  Say: “I am strong!”  (Joel 3:10b); “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Cor. 12:10b);  “He gives strength to the weary & increases the power of the weak.” (Is. 40:29).

     Look at it this way … being weak causes a longing for strength.  And we know our source!   “My help comes from the Lord!” (Ps 121:2a).

“Peace! Be strong now; be strong” (Dan. 10;19b).  Simple, yet profound when you consider the same power behind the words spoken so long ago are still alive and active today – for you and I.   The source that brings individual strength and peace today is the same Voice that spoke the world into being. That is what I call World Power – God’s way… Word Power!

Again, thank you for your prayers on behalf of Point To Hope Ministries.  Please don’t hesitate to send scriptures, visions / dreams, words, if the Lord gives you revelation.

Blessings to all,

Sincerely,

Dear Friends,

Jericho – The Walls DID Come Tumbling Down!
 
Everything worked just like God had said it would. When Joshua heard the horns blow on the seventh day, he knew that it was time for the people to shout so he called out, “Shout because God has given you the city!  Joshua 6:16

Now I’m not sure if you caught that, but walls are coming down!
God is shouting down our walls.   
 
The WAR CRY is being sounded. The War Cry of PRAYER!
 
Liz Stinson posted an update for the Anchorage Conference this upcoming weekend for April 23 -25.  And just like she said, “Shout because God has given us this city!“

I am excited as our theme for 2015 is “War Cry:  God’s Redemptive Rest!”  … And how do we find rest?  Prayer is the beginning.
 
As you know, Prayer is the greatest War Cry before the walls can come down.  I am asking you to join me in prayer as God prepares us all for this conference.  I also request increased prayer for Nancy Haney, who stands as Joshua, the commander of the Army of Point to Hope Ministries.  She has gone through much testing and tribulation with great loss in her family these past few months.  Please help me stand as we march with prayer to cover and hedge in her and her family.  Please pray with us as we ask God to place her with:
·         Armor
·         The Mind of Christ
·         A Shield on her heart
·         Strength to do what God has asked her to do in this hour
·         Strength in her physical, emotional, and spiritual being.
 
Prayer is releasing the power of God … Prayer is asking God to do what we cannot do.
Thank you and God bless each and every one of you! 
Love and prayers,
Debbie Anderes
Ketchikan Assistant Director

Dear Friends & Intercessors,

First of all, Henry, myself and PTH want to thank you with the deepest appreciation for all the love and prayer support during this season of the loss of our Granddaughter and friend to many, Crystelle.  Your prayers and encouraging words have been a constant strength to us and we felt we were being carried through!  Thank you all very much!

Secondly, I want to address the up and coming PTH Conference in Anchorage, Alaska  (April 23rd.-25th).    We also have our annual pre-conference prayer gathering and introduction evening for workshop speakers, leaders, helpers, and all the intercessors who want to come along side to pray in God’s Kingdom purposes, (Wed., April 22nd / 6:00 PM; Trinity Presbyterian Church, 12310 Lorraine St, Anchorage, AK 99516 – approx. 2 miles up Huffman Rd.).

Next, Delta Junction, Alaska.  On Friday,  May 1st – 3rd (evenings & Sun. morning), PTH will be ministering at Delta Christian Center.  We welcome you to attend, and we especially invite and welcome all the intercession God puts on your hearts for these events – His Kingdom work!  “His will be done on earth as it is in heaven!”   (Matt. 6)    PTL

In my preparation for the conference(s), I want to share the parable that God put on my heart from Matt. 22:1-10; The Wedding Banquet.   It is an excellent reminder to us in this hour …
Kingdom of Heaven is like:
– A certain king arranged a wedding banquet for his son.
– And sent out servants to call those who were invited to the wedding
– Yet,  they were not willing to come
– So, the King decided to persuade the guests: He sent out his servants again, telling them the feast has been prepared –  oxen, fatted cattle, all things are ready for the wedding banquet.
Still,  they made light of it and continued in their ways, one to his farm, another to his business … some just married, some bought new toys, some just wanted to be with friends, some were tired, some just too tired and didn’t really care!  Some even seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.
– The King heard about this and he was furious and sent out His armies, destroyed those murders, and burned up their city.
– Again, the King told His servants, “the wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.  Therefore, go into the highways, and as many as you can find, invite them to the wedding banquet.
…So the servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all they found, both bad and good.  And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

This last weekend I shared this parable at a prayer meeting and they took me seriously.  and went out and started inviting.  Let me share one of the things that happened:  
They were at the doors of a building,  handing out free invitations in celebration of Good News – The Conference.  However, they were met by security and accused of soliciting and asked to leave.  It was suggested they go to the bus stop!   Still, they would be contacted Monday by someone for their offense.

Yes, the laws and rules are in place for a reason, but spiritually speaking, what was happening is there was a threatening to the dark side of the kingdom…just know that God is going to honor that effort…but we have to prepare ourself…Both the good and the bad will be attending! 

We are asking for intensified prayer and those willing to go out and invite … Come to this wedding feast, a banqueting table of 12 workshop speakers, and the message the Lord has given to illuminate teachings from His Word … Imparting .. Laying hands on those ready to receive in the heart and be activating … A Holy Spirit Encounter that is lasting and life-changing!

The evening sessions you will be able to feast on Holy Worship and Praise, more illumination of the Word, and timely prophetic messages for this hour.   And, as I love to quote Apostle Paul,  (Romans 1:11)  “I long to lay hands on you that I may impart some spiritual gift so that you may be established”.
Impart: to give, share, impart, distribute, grant).  
Establish … Ps. 90:17 “Yes, let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands; Yes, establish the work of our hands.” (Work: acts of mercy and salvation).

In March, we were invited back to Canada after 15 years.  I was told of a prophecy – that a women from Alaska had come and prayed in that area and several Reservations, (15 years ago).   The word given, said to call her back, there will be a fresh wind of revival stirred up!  I received a phone called last October and invited to return.  I was amazed and blessed at those that stood up and shared what was said and spoken over them 15 years ago.  Since that time, much came to pass and they were so thankful for obedience.   The people were so ready for teaching, prayer and hope which sparked into a flame.   Sarah Tarter traveled with me and her gifts were so powerful:  From prayer, to the worship leader – for the conference as well as the three meetings we did at the reservations. We were also invited to share the word and lead worship in church ministers and did a street ministry establish 16 years ago; mostly men.   Thank you cards are still coming in!  We don’t boast of ourselves, but Praise be to God that He used us and all your faithful prayers.  We totally acknowledge all our faithful supporters –   the ministry could not have been so successful for His Kingdom without  all of you lifting us up in His work!   We pray for much fruit to come!   Amen!
Please keep it up – it truly makes a difference!

In closing, again, I want to personally thank all of you for your support for PTH  Ministry and our personal loss.  You have been an amazing continued support for the entire Georgia and S.C. ministries in Jan. and Feb.   Please know you are deeply valued and I honor and bless you.

Love and Prayers,

Nancy and the Team of PTH

Dear Point to Hope Family,
Greetings from the city of Anchorage!  I am excited to update you on the upcoming PTH Anchorage Holy Spirit Encounter Conference (April 23-25, 2015).
Our theme for 2015 is “War Cry: God’s Redemptive Rest!” This theme has already impacted many, with great praise and glory given to God as a result.  The testimonies have been incredible, to say the least.
Nancy’s last ministry trip was to Fort St. John, British Columbia, Canada. She and Sarah Tarter had great favor wherever they went.  God used them mightily.  Many lives were changed because of the wonderful work of the Holy Spirit flowing through obedient vessels. Nancy not only spoke at a three day conference but she also ministered in three area Indian Reserves.  We have received many amazing testimonies of her labor of love among our Canadian brothers and sisters.
God is raising his war cry through his army of willing volunteers!  The transformation that we allow the Holy Spirit to do within has an incredible effect in the world.  The peace of the Holy Spirit is unrivaled and empowers us to trust Him in all things. When we walk in the promises of God it causes His glory to shine in ever greater measure through our lives and in our communities.  We encourage all who are able to come and fellowship with us as we gather to worship the Lord and hear His word for this season.
Leading up to the conference we covet your prayers. Many are gathering for this conference from across Alaska and other parts of the country.  Our desire is that all who attend will have an intimate Encounter with the Holy Spirit.  We ask that you pray for the safe travels of those attending. We also ask that you pray for Nancy and the ministry team to be filled and energized by the Spirit to pour out His work for His people.  Also, please continue praying for the Haney family as they go through the grieving process.
We thank you so much for your prayers and partnering alongside Point to Hope. This is an exciting time as we, all of us, march shoulder-to-shoulder proclaiming the Lord’s War Cry!
Joshua 6:16 “…Shout! For the LORD has given you the city.”
Psalms 44:3-7 “For by their own sword they did not possess the land, And their own arm did not save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, For You favored them. You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob.”

In His love,
Liz Stinson

Dear Point To Hope Friends,

On behalf of the PTH team, I want to extend a sincere “Thank You” for you prayer coverage over the ministry in Georgia and South Carolina (Jan / Feb.)  Nancy and the team is now back in Alaska with awesome, faith-building testimonies of the power of the Lord.

Nancy had several individuals come back to her with prophesies they had received from past PTH ministries and shared how the Lord fulfilled every word spoken over them:  Personal healings, family prodigal (s) returning home, families back on the straight and narrow path.  Part of the message the Lord gave Nancy was to release the Lord’s Favor over the people.  Wow!  All I can say is there was much evidence of God’s favor:  simple to profound.  Favor in restaurants – being told it’s closed and no way a large group will be served … they were served and with much favor;  favor in car rentals – upon arriving to return a car “FULL” of luggage, the car rental attendant actually chased down the customer who had gone to retrieve a luggage cart(s), and offered to drive them right to their airline – FAVOR!  Report of favor at work, home, etc.  God’s Favor – His idea!

Nancy said she could just sense God’s power was moving in a new way!  God’s Redemptive Rest (this year’s PTH conference theme) is proving to be exceedingly abundant!  Not necessarily easy circumstances, per se, yet God’s Rest has been evident in so many testimonies.  Many were so very encouraged by the message and literally felt they had a new lease on life, many “ears to hear” – wide opened to what God had for them.

Again, thank you for your faithful prayer coverage over the team.  They experienced great traveling mercies, provision for God’s plans, and all were and are healthy!

NOW:  Canada

On Friday, Nancy and myself (Sarah) will be traveling from Alaska to Fort St. Johns, BC.  Nancy has been invited to minister in churches, hold prayer meetings, a 3 day conference, and travel into 3 surrounding villages (8 days).  The Lord has given Nancy words through the years regarding Canada, and He is saying NOW is the time to put the soles of feet to the land once again.

Please be in prayer for Canada … our neighbors!   “Love our neighbors as ourselves.”  🙂   We can’t thank you enough for the prayers!  A ministry without prayer is like a car without fuel!  Just doesn’t run!

If you get scriptures, words, visions / dreams, please do not hesitate to e-mail  (see website for event details and contact information.  We are grateful for your insight.

Sincerely,
Sarah Tarter
PTH Prayer Facilitator

Dear PTH Friends,

“War Cry! God’s Redemptive Rest” is the theme for this year’s Holy Spirit Encounter conferences.  Years ago, the Lord gave Nancy the format for conferences and the format remains constant:  “Holy Spirit Encounter”!   There is no better teacher, counselor, helper, etc. than the Holy Spirit!  The power of the Holy Sprit!; The ONE whom brings understanding to God’s Word and makes it “alive and active.”  Several places in the bible give references to heaven and earth passing away, but never His Word.  Hence, transformation comes with an encounter with the Holy Spirit … and that remains a constant in Point To Hope Ministries.

I say that to remind you of this:  “War Cry!  God’s Redemptive Rest,” Holy Spirit Encounter conference is about to take place:

Keynote Speaker:  Nancy Haney

When:  
    Feb., 5th, 6th, & 7th (Thur – Sat); 7:00 PM
Where:
    Straight Paths Church Worship Center
    155 Maxim Drive, Westminster, SC 29693
Hosted by: Pastors Ford & Jean Grant

It is probably safe to say, no one would prefer to give “War Cry” but it is a biblical principal and there is a time for peace and a time for war!  It is necessary!  And the Lord is calling this year “War Cry!”  Yet, He is also making provision in the midst of war;  His perfect peace found in “God’s Redemptive Rest.”  

Thank you for your continued prayers during this season.  The memorial service for Crystelle (Nancy & Henry’s grand daughter) was a beautiful celebration of her young life.  Nancy is now back in the Georgia / South Carolina area to continue with the ministry schedule; and first on the schedule is the conference listed above.  The Lord has given Nancy a powerful message for this year’s theme and with the power of prayer,  He will strengthen her to continue to carry His message in all situations.

One of the key points the Lord has given Nancy in the war cry message is that when faced with hardships, trials, death, etc., He doesn’t necessarily remove the bite of the circumstance(s) but He does make provision for hope and healing; for living.  “The Lord said to Moses, ‘Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.’  So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.” (Numbers 21: 8,9).  Please keep Nancy sheltered in prayer as she continues to deliver the message the Lord has given her for this season.  

See the website for ministry itinerary www.pointtohope.org .  Again, thank you for your faithful prayers on behave of PTH ministries and the families and loved ones of those touched by the life of Crystelle.

“For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.” (Ps. 100:5)

Blessings to all,

Sincerely,
Sarah Tarter,
PTH Prayer Facilitator

Dear Friends,

The Holy Spirit Encounter conference in Georgia this last week was a most powerful time with the Lord.  Lives were transformed, hearts healed, new revelation from Him and testimonies of greater commitment.
 
While we were involved at the conference, it was as though we were in a “corporate bubble” of the Holy Spirit’s sweet and convicting presence. We were enveloped in the anointing of the Holy Spirit with timely messages and workshops from the Word for 2015.  We were surrounded by the love of believers with the same language and heart.  It was a time of both corporate and individual enlightenment by the Spirit.  Truly a Holy Spirit Encounter!
 
The conference may be over, but not the illumination,  impartation and activation.   There were  both old and new relationships established in the Lord!  Most have returned home by now – “re-entry” time.  And this can be a challenge!  Many feel they are on their own.  In fact, sometimes, it seems satan meets us at the door.  We are back in the fray.  Just like soldiers,  we have come home from war.  We have been convicted unto righteousness.  Some of us won’t be accepted with what we have learned and how we have been transformed; even more, not honored for the renewed Spirit within us.  The battle for a soldier can be more demanding at home.  Some don’t understand what has happened to us.  This is where the enemy seems to have a “hey-day.”  And questions arise …”Have I really changed?  Am I really healed?  Do I really have favor?  Can it really be new beginnings?  Hope Unshakable?  I’m sure you could pose some questions in there, too.

Still, let me assure you!   We may think or feel we are alone, but as brothers and sisters in Christ remember His promise:  “The Lord NEVER leaves us nor forsakes us” (Heb 13:5,6 ).  So,  just as He has never left us, let us be diligent to be praying, communicating with others, and personally be in prayer to help us guard our hearts in Him!

I am exhorting all of us!  Be remembering each other and be lifting each other up in “Prayers of Agreement,”  in Jesus’ name.

Yes, this is a year of New Beginnings.  We can’t return to our old ways;  We shall cooperate willingly with the Spirit.  God has already caused a shift and we are encouraged to walk by His Word; The light unto our path (Ps 119:105).

Basically, the conference provided a platform for the Holy Spirit to teach us much!  Now is the time to press in and let God mature us and seal that great grace, revelation and illumination of His Word.

We will be challenged, tested, and affirmed in all that the Holy Spirit has equipped us with.  We must move forward as our minds have been transformed and renewed.  So it’s time to put into practice what we’ve learned.  We are not  just convinced, but convicted as was brought out by the Holy Spirit in the conference.  And so, our journey has started in “Sonship and Agreement,” Amen!

 
Lets us pray a prayer of agreement for all those who attended the War Cry! God’s Redemptive Rest Conference in Georgia last weekend.    Praying and declaring HIS Word:  Raise the hedge of protection (Job 1:9), declare the bulwark (Ps. 91:4), set the wall of fire about us (Zech. 2:5), asking God to give ministering angels charge as we walk through His assignments (Matt. 4:11).  Pray that we continue to walk under that corporate anointing of the protection of the Holy Spirit as we commune with Him (Jo 6:53-58).  The Lord promised an impartation to His favor.
 
We are still in Georgia as the ministry continues in Macon, then South Carolina and Northern Georgia.  We ask that you all would partner with us in prayer as we move forward in God’s will.
Your prayers are so appreciated!  Prayers for the intercessors, places we are going, open ears and hearts to receive HIM…for Lisa McDonald, Debbie Grimes, Ute Looney and myself, Nancy Haney!   Pray for the Host and Hostess to be blessed along the way (listed on website) …Thank you so much1

Please know you are held close to my heart and in my prayers!
May you be BLESSED BY GOD!

Love & Sincere Appreciation to All!
Nancy

January 2015

Dear PTH Friends,

Happy New Year!  Yes, that is a declaration … it will be a happy new year for those who stay in His redemptive rest … while at war.  Yes, the sun will rise on the evil and the good, and it will rain on the righteous and unrighteous (Matt. 5:45).  Regardless the weather or storms of circumstances we will be faced with …. “whatever war” …. we will have His rest & peace if we move with His Spirit.  

There is an exuberance about this year, yet there is also a weighty urgency to be ever so sensitive to the Holy Spirit and keeping one another hedged up with unceasing prayer.  As the Lord gave Nancy a word recently:  “Leave nothing to chance.”   To me that say …. “Leave nothing to chance!!!”

I love the ingredients found in Romans 12:12 … a no-fail recipe: “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”  The statement “Faithful in Prayer” in Greek is: proskarterountes.  If you are anything like me … proskarterountes is still like the expression “Greek to me!”  … but this is what “faithful in prayer” means:  “It is a present, continuous tense of a very strong word.  It implies persistence, perseverance and insistence.  The Bible recognizes that most of us will have a struggle, not only to keep in an attitude of prayer, but also to spend real time in prayer  We are exhorted to be diligent and faithful in prayer since it is our access to God for a life of spiritual intimacy and is the means by which God advances His kingdom.” (Life in the Spirit Study Bible, NIV, Zondervan/Word Study Ro. 12:12).

No doubt we all want the latter part of “faithful in prayer”:  access to God, spiritual intimacy, and advancing His kingdom.  Yet, we must also contend for it and generally we have to war for it.  It requires persistence, perseverance, and insistence … “real time” and diligence.  Yes, war has a cost … freedom is worth the battle!

Here is a reality:  Our enemy of war has little interest in our matters unless we are led by the Spirit, believing AND walking in the promises of the infallible word of God.  Think of Peter:  He wrote a second letter as a reminder to believers / friends (2 Peter 3:1).  The basic theme of 1 Peter is suffering for the cause of Christ;  2 Peter includes instructions to virtually the same group of believers regarding false teachers.  It is no secret the devil is the father of lies (John 8:44), and he has a specific job description: steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).  Yet, Peter had to write a again … second letter to encourage and remind seasoned believers.  He even said in 2 Peter 1:12, “So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.”  

To me this is a form of:  “Leave nothing to chance.”  Peter goes on to say in 2 Peter 2:1, “But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.”  And catch this:  …. “They will secretly introduce heresies….”  (Heresies – opinions, beliefs, free thinking, a religious or philosophical sect.)  

What does this have to do with 2015?  The enemy would love to wear us out … wear us down … keep us from God’s redemptive rest!  Peter recognized that even seasoned believers needed reminders to “be aware” because … guess what – false teachers are going to be SECRETLY introducing teaching(s) that do not completely line up with the Word of God.  These teachers are going to be in the churches … in conferences … in the writings, etc.   And it won’t be obvious!  They are not going to be announced as “false teachers”…. they are going to come “secretly.”  My guess is that some will even be advertised as “anointed teachers”, etc.  Here is my interpretation of “a gifted teacher / the anointing of teaching”:  It really boils down to the skill or ability of being able to take any concept, or any “belief” and break it down so all learners understand; making it believable and acceptable to all – right or wrong.  The difference is, what the Spirit behind the teaching?    Hence, we personally, regardless of our seasoning, must be in HIS WORD, eyes fixed on the Author and Finisher of our faith, led by the Spirit of the Living God.  Consider this:  If people of “more noble character” than other believers/followers of Paul found it necessary to examine the scriptures daily after listening to teachings from the great Apostle Paul, and in the synagogues – “the church” no doubt, then I believe we should take note! (Acts 17:11).  Simple reminders, like Peter gave believers because the false teachers / prophets are “among” us (2 Peter 2:1).  

Like I stated earlier, the enemy has no interest in our matters unless we are heading in the right direction and building the Kingdom of God.  Having said that, we, PTH ministries recognize we are about to engage in a war of greater depth.  Hence 2015 Theme: Raise the War Cry!  We have a great war weapon in the power of agreement!  Abraham Lincoln embraced it in his “House Divided Speech” (1858)… but God said it first in Mark 3:24,25).  “If a kingdom is divided agains itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  If a house is divided agains itself, that house cannot stand.”  We cannot be defeated when we agree on God’s Word.

On a personal level, lend yourself to “Be a David” – be very sensitive to allow God to search your heart.  Is there anything in your heart, home, influence, etc. that is not in agreement?  Let us be led by His Spirit to guide us so that we come into agreement so that when we go to war … continue in war, we hold the power of agreement … AND can rely on one another (Ecc. 4:9-12).

I know I included the below strategy in a recent PTH website post, but it is a clear prayer strategy the Lord gave Nancy for 2015; As we head into war:
1)  Place a Hedge of Protection: Start praying a hedge of protection (Job 1:9)
2)  Declare A Bulwark:  Bulwark is a wall of protection – pray it around yourself and others.  (Ps. 91:4)
3)  Set A Wall of Fire; Protection (Zech 2:5)
4)  ASK God: Ask for angels to attend to you; ministering angels
(Matt. 4:11) 
5)  Communion:  Do this in remembrance of ME:  take communion daily and leave nothing to chance (Mk 14:22, 23)

Please, if the Lord shows you anything: dreams / visions, scriptures, words, etc., I encourage you to e-mail them to myself and / or Nancy. … even if it doesn’t make sense to you or you may not have the interpretation.
 
Nancy is about to begin the itinerary schedule in Georgia and South Carolina (Jan.-Feb. – see website for details: www.pointtohope.org) The January GA conference is just around the corner.  Please target all areas of need for the conference:  workshop speakers, worship, traveling mercies, prayer shield, complete unity and agreement, sound / technical needs, housing, health, etc., etc., etc.  Your prayers for Point To Hope Ministries are so appreciated and I can’t emphasize enough, the need for prayer coverage for Nancy during this time of ministry.  The Lord has given her a powerful message for this year and we do not want to be found in war without being clothed in His Word.  Pray for supernatural physical and spiritual strength for Nancy and she brings forth the word!

Prayer Strategy:  
A) Faithful in Prayer (Rom. 12:12)
B) Worship ahead of the battle
    Worship War Strategy:  A few excepts from 2 Chronicles 20:
–  A vast army is coming against you (vs. 2)
–  Inquire of the Lord (vs. 3)
–  The people came together to seek help from the Lord; indeed, they came from every town to seek Him (vs. 4)
–  Declaration to the Lord:  “Power and might are in YOUR hand and no one can withstand YOU” (vs. 6)
–  Our eyes are upon YOU (vs. 12b)
–  For the battle is not yours, but God’s (vs.15)
–  Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you (vs. 17)
–  All the people fell down in worship before the Lord (vs.18)
–  Then (the people) stood up and praised the Lord, the God of Israel, with very loud voice (vs.19) … (notice it is not “voices” though it is many people …. let us stand as one voice – unity – agreement.
–  Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld (vs. 20)
–  People appointed:  to sing to the Lord and to praise Him for the splendor of His holiness singing:  “Give thanks to the Lord, for His love endures forever” (vs 21)
–  As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes…. (vs. 22)
–  The fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard how THE LORD FOUGHT AGAINST THE ENEMIES (vs. 29)

C) FAST:  However the Lord leads you … A FAST He has chosen for you:  “to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke (Is. 58:6)

Embassy Report:  Washington DC (12/28-30/14)

Below is just a quick note regarding the visit to various embassies in Washington DC.  As many of you know, when the Lord calls Nancy to a country, He first calls her to the embassy of the country in Washington DC.  We (Nancy and myself, Sarah) went to the below embassies, but the time/season of travel to these countries is still in the making.  

In the mean time, below you will find a few prayer directions for these countries and / or other details:

Israel:  
 Rev. 2:17 “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.”
pray for Israel to call upon the Lord and rely on His strength; His Spirit, His Word, His Son.
The Word would be a light unto Israel’s path:  Father, Son, & Holy Spirit – Godhead- 3 in 1.
—————————
China:
pray for their woundedness;
pray for healing from being war-torn
pray for “circumspective” view:  look from all angels

God wants to take the least and push them forward
Pray for healing – their confidence in the Lord would arise

Australia:
they have taken some hard hits
