THE MAUI SUPERNATURAL SCHOOL OF MINISTRY

Rev. Earl Thurner
E-mail of Nov 8th, 2007 

     They came from all over Maui, nearly 90 students, young and old, representing 12 churches to attend the opening session of our school of ministry on Maui, the first of many that will be established by The Desire of All Nations.

 

     We only have room for 100 and already there are others calling to attend. One pastor shared with us how absolutey stunned he was to see Christians of various churches coming together and commit 7 months to a school, not even knowing who really was doing it , what to expect and then go out on outreaches each week together to do the miraculous all over Maui.  Hunger and passion to see the authentic and demonstrate the supernatural gospel in signs, wonders and deeds of love drew them, simply by word of mouth.

     Here is one testimony and there are others....

          "I wanted to tell you that John was healed of his intestinal problems on Monday night!!!  For the past six weeks he has been having stomach pains that get real bad when he eats....followed by at least one trip to the bathroom after each meal......this happened each time he ate.  We tried over the counter meds which didn't help ........ Anyway Kip, his wife and I laid our tingly hands on him Monday night at the Supernatural class and by the next day he could eat whatever he wanted with not pain and no after effects in the bathroom" -- Letty

    

     Today I met with the young adult leader and office manager of the second largest church on Maui, Hope Chapel, who described by mightily touched by God during and after the class.  I remember him just standing off to the side, just experiencing the presence of God and his whole devotional life and awareness of God was heightened. 

 

     Before talking to him, I happened to see Charlie Maxwell, who is considered the voice of the Hawaiian people and he was at the class also.  He came to bless the class and honor the ministry and his arm was in a sling.  He had to leave early and some of our team prayed for him outside.  When I saw him today, he exclaimed, "My arm is so much better".

 

     The presence of God was clearly felt and it was absolutely beautiful to be a part of this.  One lady Jana prayed for was so overwhelmed with joy after suffering from depression for years that she asked Jana if she could throw away her anti-depressant medicine!  Jana of course said that she could not answer that for her, it was the woman's choice but the lady said she had not felt so happy ever.

 

     The "tingly" hands that you read about in the testimony was the experiencing of God's power in the hands of many during the class and we just let them pray for one another and we will be hearing more of what God did.

 

     We have an awesome team that will be taking the students out all over Maui doing good and healing the oppressed.  As I shared Monday night, the blood of Jesus purchased a life, an abundant life.  His blood purchased the face of God and the embrace of the Father.  His blood purchased the joy of being transformed into the character of Christ from the inside out and a lifestyle of destroying the works of the devil as the normal Christian life. 

 

      Isaiah 33:17

          "Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off"

 

     This is not for when you die and go to heaven.  This is in this life now.  That is what God is doing in the earth, bringing people into genuine intimacy with God and bringing the realities of heaven into this life NOW.  In the midst of turmoil and all kinds of calamities and troubles, Jesus said the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end come.  There will be a testimony, it will be seen by the nations, of the good news of the kingdom not just good news of being saved and going to heaven someday.  The world will see the greater works than these shall you do and that was said by Jesus.  Lovers of God who love the nations and disciple them too with a message that is in power not just in word.

 

     So we will keep you updated on what God does and are honored by your prayers to see Maui impacted by this school.  This is just our pilot school and we believe that it will be perpetuated in the years to come.

 

     Blessings to all of you!
