REVIVALPOST from TAHITI (March-April 2010)

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Is. 60:1)
REVIVALPOST from TAHITI

French Polynesia (South Pacific)
March - April 2010
 ----------------------------------------------------
Dear friends & partners,

Since January there has been a lot of hurricanes that have come and gone to French Polynesia. The strongest hit the nation on February 4th, 2010, and was called "OLI". A lot of homes were destroyed but we thank God that just very few people were injured. The hurricane season is over now but was it ushering a whirlwind of changes for us in French Polynesia? Could very well be folks!!


SPECIAL EVENTS
Below are some of the major events that have happened recently.

Marama Night
This youth event was held for the very first time in the district of Papeari (about 35 miles away from Papeete where it usually happens) on March 27th. It gathered so many people that the owner of the restaurant that authorized us to have it in her parking lot was herself blown away by the impact it had on the local youth and the clients. In fact, we took the opportunity of having a group from Bethel (Supernatural School of Ministry, Redding, California) to help us with reaching out to the people and praying over the lives of many who experienced healing and personal breakthroughs. I'm really impressed with the increasing quality of performance of the local music bands and dance groups that are taking part to this event.

Homeless Ministry
On Good Friday (April 2nd), we helped with the distribution of meals and clothing to the homeless population of Papeete and the surroundings (which has increased drastically with the economic crisis hitting us here too). We have now done that since 2008 and we bless God for the increasing participation of volunteers from different fellowships that have contributed to the success of that day. It was also an opportunity to share the Gospel of the Kingdom and challenge people to come to know Jesus with a demonstration of His healing and liberating power over sickness and torment. Over 200 meals were served this time. We thank the Lord for sister Frida who is the initiator and the coordinator of this ministry under the covering of Vision of the Harvest.

Healing Rooms
We continue with this special ministry on the first Saturday of each  month. It has blessed many people and we always witness healings. We covet your prayers to see even greater breakthroughs over certains diseases that are recurring in Polynesia such as diabetes, lung conditions (like asthma), cancers (breast, lungs, blood, etc.), and cardio-vascular problems (due to obesity and poor diet).

BENNY PRASAD IN TAHITI (March - April 2010)
Benny came back to Tahiti for the 2nd time on March 27th. He was actually on his way to Pitcairn and we had the privilege to have him share his God given talent with his amazing guitar which he designed himself. From an abused child with a totally low self esteem in India, Benny has come a long way to know the redeeming love of Christ that turned him into a son of the living God of Heaven and a witness of Jesus wherever he goes. This year, he will have fulfilled the mandate God gave him to go to every nation of the world by 2010. His passion for Jesus opened up borders and hearts to listen to a message of hope and salvation that few have had the privilege to carry even to the remotest places on earth (including Antarctica!!!).


His music is the door opener to many lives and we put it to work in Tahiti as he not only shared in two churches (on his way in and on his way out of the country) but also during an open air concert that we organized in downtown Papeete at the central town square where many people stroll around and go for dinner at the well known "roulottes" (restaurants on wheels) parked nearby. Aline was able to introduce him to the local prison for women. The inmates were not only touched to hear his testimony and his music but also felt so honored that such an artist would come to play for them. The prison director and some of the staff in attendance had only appreciative comments. Thank you Benny!


PATRICK FONTAINE IN TAHITI (April 3rd to April 11th)
Former punk gang leader and heavy drugs addict in France, Patrick Fontaine was a total mess bent on destruction, violence and hatred. Jesus Christ took a hold of his life in 1983 and he became a pastor for 20 years. Patrick has been used powerfully in different denominational settings (Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals, Pentecostals). God has performed many healings and miracles through his ministry. He is invited to many nations and all over France to share about the message God has given him for the last days that brings a very fresh understanding of the Kingdom of God and the major call to Reformation that is over the Body of Christ. He is married to Lydia and they have 3 children.
The visit of Patrick and his family (along with some of his friends) was the God given opportunity to have the following special gatherings that impacted many lives.

Hearts Ablaze: For Extreme Folks
We had and extreme worship experience at a hotel conference room on Sunday evening (April 4th) in Tahiti that was a highlight for youth and not so young folks who came to be part of an extravagant demonstration of passion for Jesus. Torea and Teresa Manjard led the worship time and released people into dancing and powerful declarations with a prophetic edge of the Holy Spirit. Patrick shared a message that moved us into the dimension of the major Reformation of our hearts to be able to embrace the coming move of His Spirit in His Church, the one He is building Himself apart from any tradition of men. Please pray for our next Hearts Ablaze event, its timing, and for an ever increasing impact over the people attending it.

Easter Gathering
Easter Monday (April 5th) was the opportunity for a large gathering of believers and friends to a conference center in Punaauia (a few miles away from Papeete). There we celebrated Easter with more emphasis from Patrick Fontaine on the worldwide Reformation that's coming upon the Body of Christ and a time of deep repentance, tearing our hearts before the Lord for the things that have caused us not to be as fruitful as He had planned for us all along. The youth was also able to share testimonies of what Jesus has begun to impact them with and how they have felt so challenged to become all that God has for them to be in this world.

Spiritual Retreat "The Gospel of the Kingdom"
From Friday April 9th to Sunday April 11th we experienced a very intense but liberating experience as we sat under the teaching of Patrick Fontaine. A great revelation was brought home to many believers with the very resounding verse of Genesis 28:17 by Jacob (son of Isaac): "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of Heaven". It meant that we who believe in Jesus are that "awesome place", "the house of God" and "the gate of Heaven"!!! We have an open heaven over our lives and the angels of God are moved by our faith (not necessarily a huge one) as we take a stand to fulfil that which we have been called to be and do in His name, i.e. heal the sick, give sight to the blind, cast out demons, go to the lost, become the Good News, heal the broken hearted, etc. and thus become light to the world and salt of the earth...

Many people got healed and of course, the Church was challenged to really seek the Kingdom of God and become a place for people to be empowered and released into their calling.

A BIBLE CLASS FOR WOMEN : "Women of the World" (WOW)
We just started this month of April an ISOM (International School of Ministry) class for women. This class features women ministering the Word of God (Bobbie Houston, Cheryl Salem, Darlene Zschech, Gloria Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Lisa Bevere, Marilyn Hickey, etc.) to encourage, equip and mobilize the daughters of God in the world. Aline is the class coordinator and she enjoys leading every Saturday morning this group of women that have a real passion for the Lord and for His Kingdom to be manifested in their personal lives and around them.

This class will be a seedbed of glorious blessings, healings, and breakthroughs of all kinds that will ignite their passion for Jesus. It was stunning to be present to just one of their meetings and see the great potential there is there for God to show up and turn them into living torches of the Kingdom! More on this one later!! Stay tuned...

REVIVALPOST from TAHITI (Sept-Nov. 2009)

Singing was also an important part of the Marama Night youth outreach
A very excited crowd of people watching the various performances

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Is. 60:1)

Sept. - Nov. 2009
----------------------------------------------------
Dear friends & partners,

This season has made us increasingly aware of the need for more supernatural healing to take place and help us be more committed to God's agenda (i.e. "destroy the works of the devil"). The Healing Rooms have been a major blessing to those that have come to receive as well as to those who have been on the ministry side. We had to deal with such cases as breast cancer, heart conditions, arthritis, asthma, sore throat, kidney problems, diabetes, headaches, sinus condition, etc. Wow!! It's amazing and breathtaking to see how many people have been healed, blessed, relieved from pain, and cured of all kinds of physical conditions. However, we have also been ministering to broken hearts and have noticed that in the process of wanting to see God touch people's bodies we were often dealing with broken lives and souls needing inner healing. In fact, a majority of the people we prayed for did sense the love of God engulf their souls during ministry time.

We are so blessed to see the hunger of some believers who have encounters with a powerful and loving God that does want to connect with our hearts and cause us to live seeking His Kingdom first. Seeing God at work is definitely causing a much greater pull for knowing Him and becoming more passionate about His need to see more hearts finding Him and surrendering their lives to Him. This is what has been happening during our once a month Treasure Hunt outreaches in downtown Papeete. Seven or eight of us have been taking the challenge to go out after a short time of sharing the purpose of Treasure Hunt and receiving some guidance from the Holy Spirit. The results have been astounding with hearts been awakened to the reality of a loving God in pursuit of those that He wants to draw to Himself. During the last outreach we saw how this lady who was singled out through the words we had received previously in prayer became so turned on by the accuracy of what we were sharing to her that she cried each time she realized that what we were sharing with her was accurate. Her boyfriend was violent to her and she was very worried about her life and the life of her 7 months old child. It did minister to her to realize that God heard her prayers and her cries for help and that He had sent us to her to reach out in love. We left her full of hope and determination to do what was necessary to protect her life and her baby's life.

OUR LAST MARAMA NIGHT (Nov. 14th, 2009)
The Marama Night outreaches we have organized since January 2007 still draw the attention of the youth. We have a threefold purpose for those outreaches which are FUN, FRIENDSHIP & FELLOWSHIP. Marama Nights encourage the expression of talent in all its artistic variety, while providing a secure environment free of drugs and alcohol and keeping youth away from trouble. It is of course an attempt to offer to those who perform and to those who are watching the opportunity to have a personal encounter with God since part of the content of Marama Night is geared toward the Gospel and believers are encouraged to reach out on an individual basis.
During our last Marama Night we had the contribution of various groups of different backgrounds. It was so special to see the dances performed with such amazing passion. You will see below a link to one of the groups that was thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd at McDonald's where the Marama Night took place in downtown Papeete. The message of Jesus' love is always at the center of each Marama Night and can be expressed in so many creative ways.

THIERRY KOPP IN TAHITI (Nov. 20th to Nov. 29th)
We are welcoming a minister from France, Thierry Kopp, who has been our guest in 2008. Part of our calling is also to provide a platform of expression for ministries coming from overseas. We believe it is going to be a very blessed time and we hope that it will bring a clearer vision to many as to the direction of the Lord but also an opportunity for healing and salvation in the lives of people.

Thierry Kopp began to share with the leaders of various ministries about Reformation, how it will change the dynamics of Church life and how it should lead believers to have a significant impact in the world. Up to now, we've lived very exciting times with people having encounters with the love of the Father. Even the vice-mayor of Papeete was touched by God in one of the meetings and cried profusely during prayer. We believe this is a time for many to receive inner healing and discover their true identity in Christ through God the Father. Other meetings are being planned for this week including a retreat for couples and singles.

OUR SELECTIONS FOR YOU (click on the following links and watch!)
1. This is about a great message mix by Bill Johnson stating that GOD IS GOOD and that He wants to heal the sick:
2. The Vaimarama group from Papeari district that performed during our last Marama Night youth event at McDonald's in downtown Papeete:


WE WANT TO CELEBRATE HIS FAITHFULNESS
We want to thank God for many things but especially for:
- the many healings during our Healing Rooms and the God-encounters during Treasure Hunts;
- the health that we're now enjoying (after some fatigue and illness of our bodies in September);
- Erika's amazing spiritual saga at the Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry that she enjoys so much;
- Thierry Kopp who is visiting Tahiti right now and for a refreshing over believers and ministries;
- the greater sense of unity among Christian leaders during our once a week prayer meeting;
- Aline's opportunity to have a teaching contract to help students of a public school;
- the amazing provision for our family (including our daughters studying overseas).

SOME THINGS YOU COULD PRAY ABOUT WITH US
We also would like to share some of our prayer needs:
- Thierry Kopp's ministry time in Tahiti and many saved, healed and revived hearts;
- a good heart connection with our teenage boys and a drawing of their hearts toward the Lord;
- for protection and provision over our girls (Kori & Erika) who are studying overseas (France & USA);
- a more clearly defined vision concerning our lives and ministry;
- the planning of activities that would be in line with our God given vision;
- more consistent income to cover our ongoing life and ministry expenses;
- for the healing anointing to increase during Healing Rooms and whenever we pray for the sick;
- for God to bring those ministries that are strategically needed to bless our nation.

We would be happy to know how to pray for you. Send your requests to revivalnet@mail.pf !!

His love endures for ever!

Check this one out! RECALL NOTICE

RECALL NOTICE: The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.

This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed 'Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality,' or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.

The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.

The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Believers' Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!

- GOD

P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by 'Knee mail'. Becaus
e He Lives!

Happy Thanksgiving Day from the Cicero Family (Tahiti)

Dear Friends & Partners,

 We are so very thankful to Abba Father for the bountiful grace He has lavished on us to become His sons and daughters through the best gift of all, Jesus His Son!

 We have been called from darkness into His marvelous light that we may declare His glory and boast of our salvation in Christ. We are so privileged as members of the household of God to have you as our brothers and sisters and realize how precious that is!

 We pray that this Thanksgiving Day be a day of great joy, comfort and gratefulness as we remember all the blessings, the love and the privilege which is ours to belong to a wonderful God who has been faithful to us in so many ways.

 Joining in your praises of thanksgiving to the One who has been, is and always will be the Greatest of all!

Psalm 103:1-2

    "Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

      Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits"

Our last MARAMA NIGHT in Papeete (Tahiti) on Nov. 8th, 2008



This is definitely not a comprehensive view of what happened that night but just a few shots that will give you but a glimpse of what it is all about. We are praying that its impact will grow and would bring lasting change in the community, especially among youth whom we want to see set on fire for Jesus!

NOW THAT THE US ELECTION IS OVER

Hello friends & partners,
 
We got this very interesting "True/False" test from other friends who forwarded it to us.  It would be nice if we all took it. Indeed, many of us "have been encouraged to be worried, afraid, concerned, prepared for disaster, and a whole host of other maladies". It is time to take stock now and (re)gain a biblical perspective on the situation at hand with the outcome we all know now about the US elections. Our love remains intact for all of you. 
Edualdo & Aline.

IF THIS IS ALL TRUE, WE WIN!
 
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, Jesus will still be King.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, our responsibilities as Christians will not have changed one iota.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the greatest agent for social change in America will still be winning the hearts and minds of men and women through the gospel, not legislation.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, my primary citizenship will still be in this order –
                        (1) the Kingdom of God,
                        (2) America, not vice-versa.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the tomb will still be empty.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the cross, not the government, will still be our salvation.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, our children will still be more concerned with whether or not we spend time with them than with who is President.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, my neighbor will still be my neighbor, and loving him/her will still be the second greatest commandment.  (Do you know the first?)
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the only way to see abortion ultimately overturned will still be winning men and women to a high view of life through the gospel of Christ.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, the only way to see gay marriage ultimately defeated will still be winning men and women to a biblical view of marriage through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, my retirement will still not match my treasure in Heaven.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, "Jesus Is Lord" will still be the greatest truth in the Universe.
True/False:  The day after the election, regardless of who wins, we will still know that God is in control.
 
We pray that we will remember who we are and who He is!!!

JUST TELL US THE TRUTH (from Youtube.com)

THIS IS THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT THE REAL ISSUES INVOLVED IN THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS OF THE USA! It's worth passing it on and none of us can stay indifferent to these issues especially if we truly are believers... right?

The Reality of Heaven demonstrated in Tahiti

You may have wondered, "Is God really doing anything in Tahiti?" You will find out that Jesus is alive and well in the islands. There's no limitations to the impact of the Kingdom of God... even in the remotest places of the earth!!!
 
READ BELOW & ENJOY!!!

GOD INVASIONS: THE REALITY OF HEAVEN IN OUR DAY TO DAY LIVES (October 9th, 2008 by Torea Manjard)
 
Her name was Carmen, and she had called the office out of curiosity about a product our company sells. I was the one entitled to meet her at her home to give her the necessary informations. As I got to her door, I was surprised to be greeted by a lady wearing thin socks covering half of her legs and walking painfully with 2 crutches. This was quite an obvious God set up for a miracle to happen. As we were reaching the end of our appointment, I was still wondering about a way to get to lay my hands on her and pray without causing any trouble as we were meeting in a professional purpose. Finding no solution, I just decided to risk it all and ask her if I could pray for her anyways.
 
My request was met with a long silence as her eyes began to fill with tears. She was born with a deformity in her feet that forced her to walk on her toes 24/7. Now after 40 some years of walking that way, her feet were so injured she had to have surgery and have metal bolts placed in them to stop any side movements, which according to the doctor could completely destroy her feet. I began to tell her about the love of God and how He wanted her to experience this love tangibly.
 
Before I could reach her feet to pray, she began screaming with a loud voice : '' AHHHH, DO YOU FEEL THIS!!! DO YOU FEEL THIS!!?? ". Sensing that God was obviously doing something I asked her to explain to me what she was feeling, to which she answered : " HEAT, FIRE IS COURSING ALL THROUGH MY BODY AND SHOOTING TO MY FINGERTIPS AND MY BACK !! ". At that point we could read joy all over her face. She couldn't explain what was happening but she was simply happy. I then asked her to do something she couldn't do with her feet before. To that she began moving her feet back and forth and finally said : '' LOOK, I CAN MOVE IT !! '' .
 
We serve a great God and He loves us like crazy. I then felt a stirring from the Holy Spirit to keep going, so I proceeded to tap into the revelatory realm of God and began speaking words of destiny over her life as tears began to build up in her eyes again. Words of knowledge then began to flow about a member of her family who was dealing with cancer to which she nodded with shock as the doctors had found a lump in her son in law's mother's breast just a few days earlier. We then proclaimed her healing out loud. This lady is now serving in the youth department of her church where she is doing what she always had in her heart : counseling and helping young people.
 
As Bill Johnson says : '' Just another day in the kingdom ''. What a wonderful God, and what a wonderful kingdom. To be continued........
