KINGDOM PLANTING USA - EKKLESIA IN ACTION

 The Prayer Assignment for New York City was complex.  There were four specific geographical areas where we were told to pray and prophesy, plus hold two Ekklesia Rallies.  We left for New York on the morning of August 11, and traveled to Wilkes-Barra, PA for an overnight Boondock stay at the Salvation Army facilities.  We were very blessed and thankful for Tom & Joan Pierce for their gracious hospitality. On Monday afternoon, August 12, we checked into the KOA campgrounds at Newburgh, NY.  This would become our basecamp for the week ahead.  Chad Forth was also camped there, just a short walk through the woods from our campsite.  It was a very peaceful and quite place for us to have great fellowship and prayer times as the Holy Spirit gave specific strategies for the various assignments.  We knew that we had to return to the Charging Bull of Wall Street.  We had been there the previous year, but we did not complete the prayer assignment a...

 The third and final Prayer assignment given was to bind the Strongman of Detroit.   This is in obedience to the words of Christ: "No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house." Mark 3:27 NKJV  But to be completely honest with you when we went to Detroit, we had no idea who or what was the Strongman of Detroit.  Even after praying over The Port and over The City itself at The High Place , we still were clueless about how to pray and Bind the Strongman of Detroit.   After we rode the glass elevator down to the ground floor to the main lobby area, we noticed a very large carousel of cars circling around the center of the RenCen.  This caught our attention and we began to watch the rotating parade of General Motors automobile from the early 1900s to the present day.  As I watched the cars go by, the anointing of the Holy Spirit began to rise up within my...

 In one of our local Ekklesia gathering the Holy Spirit brought a vision of a Clock to Chad Forth. We discerned that the strategy of the Lord for the Ten Cities was to be approached in sequence in a clockwise direction beginning with Detroit and proceeding around the clock until we end at Seattle, WA. In prayer time in my study the Holy Spirit gave me three assignments as the Prayer Targets of Detroit. On April 9, we made our journey into Motown. The first target was to pray at the Port of Detroit.  We found an observation walkway above the Port area.  There we sat on a concrete retainer wall and prayed.  In prayer, we closed the Port of Detroit to all human trafficking, illegal drug trafficking, and illegal weapons trafficking.   We called upon the Angel armies of Heaven to be the adjudicators and the enforcers of the decisions of the Ekklesia.  We prayed for exposure and that the entire industry of sex trafficking through the Port be closed permanent...

Since 2017 we have trained many leaders of Ekklesia - Home Congregations. The Holy Spirit has led and  blessed us.  There is now in place a wonderful team of  leaders and coaches carrying the torch of the revelation of Ekklesia and the message of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to the whole world.  The Assignment of The Ten Cities was put on the shelf, but never forgotten about.  Over the years I prayed and sought the Lord on various occasions for the timing and the strategy for accomplishing the assignment. This past year, in December of 2023, I was seeking the Lord for specific ministry priorities for the New Year of 2024.  One night, while praying before going to sleep, I asked the Lord if He still wanted me to go to the 10 Cities.  I thought perhaps I had missed the boat and the assignment had been given to another.  I specifically asked Him to give me a dream to confirm that He still wanted me go to the 10 Cities.  Usually, when I ask H...

 And so, in the Spring of 2002 we began going to the Ten Cities.  A Kingdom Prophet, and close friend, Bob Fusco would go with me.  Going along on the team were Jim Rutz, author of , " Open Church, " and also John Fenn, author of " Return of the First Church, " and founder of Church Without Walls International.  Together the four of us traveled to Detroit, New York, Baltimore, San Diego, and Los Angelus.  We gathered folk together in homes and community venues and lead seminars in these five cities.  Primarily, we were teaching House Church Principles, and raising up Prophets and Apostles in the cities. Jim Rutz was releasing and introducing his newest book, " MegaShift ." However, Bob and I both sensed that there was something missing.  We knew that the "New Paradigm" was not just about meeting in the homes.  We didn't know for sure what the problem was, but we knew in our spirit that we did not have the message right.  We pulled the plug o...

 It was February 2002, and I was coming to the end of a 40 Day Fast. I had just left the traditional institutional Church System in June the previous year.  My mind and soul were in a state of anguish seeking for answers.  I had been raised in a Conservative Bible-Believing Evangelical Church.  I was called into ministry at the age of  21.  And after 30 years in Pastoral Ministry, Church Planting, and Denominational Leadership, I had come to a conundrum.  The Church taught me, and I believed, that the Bible was God's Word AND it was our book, or manual, for both Faith and Practice.  The problem was, I saw many things in the Book of Acts that we were not doing in the Church and at the same time there were many things that I was doing as a Pastor that could not be found in the Bible! This conundrum created an irreconcilable difference in my soul. On the one hand...the Bible, and on the other hand...the Church system. My decision was to step outside ...
