MARQUESAS TRIP VIDEO CLIP (July 2013)

Conversation started September 8
9/8, 8:39pm

Edualdo Cicero

Dear friends,

You will find below the link to the movie made by one of the US team members that came to Tahiti and traveled with us to the Marquesas islands from July 2nd thru 12th! It was an amazing experience of God's powerful breakthrough in the healing of many lives and God encounters that opened the hearts of some islanders toward a personal connection with Christ... Our team was made up of 8 (and later 9) people from Tahiti and the USA who ventured out to three of the Marquesas islands (Ua Pou, Hiva Oa and Tahuata). Just enjoy this video and please do get back to us with questions or any comments you may have...

Link to the Tahiti/Marquesas outreach video (about 30 minutes long) (editing by Steven Harmon): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_jS-pQ8q48 (click on it or cut and paste over to your web browser)

We pray that God's grace be fully revealed to you as you seek His Kingdom!

What the Devil doesn’t want you to know about yourself

(by D. R. Silva on Jan 18, 2011)

You are not powerless or helpless against anything. You have ALL power and ALL authority because Jesus gave it to you (Luke 10:19, Matt. 28:18).

This is what people need to be taught so they can live as constant victors, not constant victims.

I spent 6 years of my Christian life as a victim, thinking I was stuck in depression and sin and that I had to beg God to do everything and fight every battle for me, thus missing everything He already did and gave to me. I already have everything needed to win (2 Peter 1:3), to always live from victory, and not always be searching and begging God for it.

Jesus already won, I’m in Him, so I won, too. He said, “You WILL have trouble in this world.” (John 16:33) that’s a promise. Many Christians stop there and aren’t taught the rest of the statement. He went on to say, “Take heart! I have overcome the world!” Why should you be excited and happy because He has overcome the world? Because you are one spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17)!

If He has overcome the world, so have you.

It’s not a future tense thing, He didn’t say, “Take heart, someday I will overcome the world!” He said He already has. If He has already overcome all the trouble in the world, so have I. The problem is we get sucked into thinking from a now perspective were we are still trying to win. I already won, I don’t beg God for victory, I use the power and authority that He gave me to enforce the victory I already have in Christ.

I always win, I never lose (2 Cor. 2:14). I’m not helpless, I’m full of power. I’m not a victim, I’m a victor. I don’t look for victory, I live from it. I don’t need to beg God to fight my battles, He gave me power and authority and told me to trample on the works of the devil (Luke 10:19). Should you feel ashamed and inferior for asking God for help? Not at all! You are growing and learning, as am I. He’s the guy who said, “Ask and you shall receive.” There is nothing wrong with asking, but the point is not to get stuck in this idea that He is up there and you are down here, and you constantly need him to come to your rescue. He lives in you.

He lives in me, He goes where I go. I’m not powerless against sickness, diseases, depression, stress, worry, or any of that other garbage. I am victorious every time. I always win, I never lose, even when I feel like I have. My nature is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22), those are the fruits of the Spirit who lives in me, who is also one Spirit with me.

Does any of this mean you will never face opposition or get into battles? No. Jesus promised you trouble. What I’m saying is that you will always win if you use what God gave you and stop believing the lie that you are lacking and need a better anointing or a stronger gift before you can receive what he has for you.

You have the greatest anointing, that is the Anointed One who lives in you and will never leave you (Gal. 4:6, 1 John 2:27, Matt 28:20). You have the greatest gift, that is the Holy Spirit who lives in you, in whom every gift resides.

You always win, you never lose (2 Corinthians 2:14).

REVIVALPOST from TAHITI (February 2012)

----------------------------------------------------

Dear friends and partners,

We are attempting in this letter to give you a quick update on the many happenings that we've experienced since last summer:

LOOKING BRIEFLY AT 2011 UP TO NOW
It's been very amazing what God has been doing in 2011 in Tahiti. I have even been at loss writing a newsletter because of the many things that have kept us quite busy and which I am going to list non-exhaustively such as

- meetings (4 times a week) with an amazing sense of the presence of the Holy Spirit (we have never been so refreshed in almost 20 years of ministry as it has been with this amazing move of the Spirit);

- healing of hearts and bodies in an increasing measure (healing is really becoming the bread of God's children and beyond that a blessing to anybody who receives healing just because we believe that God is a good Daddy and that He does whatever He does just becauses His nature is to love and to do good);

- transformation causing families to be blessed (such as this sister that has seen the Lord bring such a transformation to her life that her husband has been wanting to go to church and go to Bible studies after he had never had any desire for spirituality);

- the message of the Kingdom of God is really becoming the forefront message we see at the core of the Good News... it becomes increasingly obvious that as the Church becomes more concerned for the Kingdom of God to be manifested on earth (as it is in Heaven) and less with promoting herself that a much greater response is coming to the fore with people that have had no interest in Christianity as they've seen it for too long (self-righteous, judgemental, insulated from the world). There is great openness for a Gospel that brings forth the good news of life, forgiveness, grace, healing, and love and stays away from a doom and gloom message;

- that is actually what we are trying to convey to our students at the School of Transformation which has been taking place every Saturday afternoon since last Fall with 16 students enrolled (apart from a 6 week break from December 2011 to January 2012);

- in November and December 2011 we held 2 retreats with about 50 then 40 folks (with also children and some youth) that helped us bring home a greater understanding

of our Father in Heaven that actually runs to us (see Luke 15--prodigal son story) and kisses us all over before we can even conceive of being able to run to Him with all the baggage of hurt, shame, brokenness and sense of worthlessness people carry in our islands. The son didn't actually even feel worthy of being called a "son" and was willing to just being a "servant" (sounds like a lot of the Christianity we know where people can at best desire to serve God without that sense of being cherished by Him in such a very special and intimate way);
of the things our Father has in store for his children making us aware of the gifts that each has received from Him in order to feel a part of His purposes over the nations which he is wanting to harvest ever since Jesus gave that mandate to His disciples to go... The second retreat was also a great opportunity to embrace His heart and His call as He gave us some understanding as to what to expect in 2012 (more miracles, greater abundance, more souls into the Kingdom, a greater sense of His holiness, a move toward greater unity in the Body of Christ, ...)

- we now have gone out into the streets of Papeete a few times and believers (who actually come from various church backgrounds) are learning to reach out to others and use their spiritual gifts over people who do not have a clue about the great God we love and serve. Many healings have taken place at the Market in downtown as we've gone to the various store owners and offered them to bless their business. We have people get healed from kidney problems or even stomach pains, or high blood pressure. It is amazing to see the response of people once they realize that their sickness and disease is being healed by the power of His name and the laying on of our hands;

There is so much that we thank God for and we know that what we see now is just but a small beginning of what will become a tsunami of His glory over the islands of French Polynesia!! No doubt in our hearts by the way!!! Many promises have come our way and we know that His word will be fulfilled... i.e. that "the knowledge of His glory will fill the earth, like the waters cover the sea..."

KIDS' CORNER

They are growing!!

- Kori (23) is currently in Cambodia

touring South East Asia with her boyfriend (Alex). She went to the

Philippines

first (Alex joined her there from

France

) in November 2011 from Tahiti and then they went to

Singapore

Malaysia

Vietnam

and

Cambodia

. Kori was excited to visit Aline's family home town, Dalat (birthplace of Aline). Actually Kori took a one year break from her Political Science studies in

France

and she should go back to

France

to complete her studies next Fall.

- Erika (21 next month) is now doing a technical 2 year training in International Trade in Tahiti (after her 3 years as a BSSM student in the USA) -- BSSM = Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry (she did 2 years in Redding, CA and 1 year internship in Maui, HI). She loves Zumba and is also a Zumba instructor which allows her to make some money and help finance her studies.
- Silvio (19) is a student at LAMA (Los Angeles Music Academy) in Pasadena, California (where he was born during the Fuller Theological Seminary days...)!! This guy is a nut for guitar and is soooo passionate about that. He could spend hours playing and perfecting pieces of music. This is a good challenge for him because it's the very first time he is on his own to care for his life and take charge (that's another great learning experience...)
- Benjamin (17) is in vocational high school with us in Tahiti and loves his major in electronics and computer science. He is a geek and spends many hours on his PC doing graphic arts and watching Manga movies... He is a fan of rubgy and beginning in March he will be going back to play it with his club because he had to recover from a broken shoulder and wasn't allowed to play for 6 months ... very hard for him!!!

MOVING ON ...
As for Aline, she continues teaching English one day a week at the local prison (for the last 3 years now). She loves every minute of it. She really believes revival is going to hit the prison. For years inmates have been singing praises and hymnals early in the morning and late in the afternoon in their cells. It is so easy to talk to them about Jesus, such an openness... amazing. She sometimes prays for them or chats with them about God and they are always so eager to listen . Somehow they sense she has a deep respect for who they are regardless of what they have done in the past. She also teaches French 10 hours a week at a junior high school nearby. Most kids come from very difficult backgrounds and there are many opportunities to shine for Jesus. The other day Erika said to Aline “Mom since you teach difficult kids (5 years now) you have been more patient” … Thank you Jesus! I guess she has learned not to judge so quickly and, honestly, when you know the background of some of these kids you wonder how they made it so far to survive and compassion does increase. In fact, 3 out of 10 students in her classes have their dads in jail.

I (Edualdo) am in charge of the ministry that by now you know as “Vision of the Harvest”. Some homeless are coming, people from all kinds of backgrounds. One of the things that come often in testimonies is that people feel loved and this is great news to us because nothing else would be meaningful without it! Since the last part of 2010 we have welcomed quite a few YWAM teams (from Hawaii,

New Zealand

, New Caledonia,

Australia

Canada

France

) coming for outreaches in Tahiti and her islands. We host once a month a night of Praise and Worship with different worship groups or individuals and the presence of the HS has been tangible. We continue the Marama Nights (evenings of fun, music and testimonies, prayers for the sick, for families and youth at the local Mc Donald in Papeete) once every 3 months or so. Last November, we’ve had the coming of Philippe Auzenet, a French evangelist and he held seminars on sexual identities (how to love, help and minister to those suffering with sexual addictions, abuse, etc). He also led a seminar on inner healing and suffering. He was well covered on local TVs, radios and newspapers.

Our hearts continue to burn for the lost and we seek God for creative ways to reach out also through arts and prophetic dance. We have a group led by a dancer who is on fire to share her passion for Jesus through dance. This month (February) we are focusing on intercession with intentionally seeking God for our lives to impact the nation.

PRAYER NEEDS
- continued hunger and a seeking of His face in our personal lives;

- ongoing spiritual and physical health;
- an increasingly focused vision toward the fulfilment of God's will for our role in the nation of French Polynesia;
- protection and provision over our lives as well as Kori & Silvio who are currently overseas (South East Asia & USA);
- the needed financial breakthroughs for the cost of ministering in French Polynesia;
- the strategies that are needed to bring impact and transformation in the land;
- for God to bring those ministries that are strategically needed to bless our nation.
