Update From The French Crazies

God is supernaturally connecting different people and nations together in heart felt relationships in these days. One of those places God has joined us to is France with a group of crazies called Parousia Paris (you haven't seen dancing until you've seen these guys move in the glory! He he!). We've been with these guys a few times and they totally rock, get wasted on the Ghost and are so joyful (despite paying a hefty price)! Here's their last two updates from them - one from May and one from today for those of you who want to know more about what's going on over there. If you love France get connected to these guys. They are really pushing forwards and making a way for a fresh move in the nation. We're taking a team back to France in November to the South of France and are expecting again to see the place ignite. It is a time of great favour and grace for the hungry. Come on France!

Dear Intercessors:
We had a women's gathering for the weekend that started Friday, May 9th, and was all day Saturday. We were truly humbled at the courage, tenderness, and faith these women have exhibited in their faith. We were honored to be connected with them and it was confirmed to us that indeed what Parousia Paris is doing is going to be birthed out of relationship. We want to be an organism not an organization. One of the women who attended the gathering Marie-Christine Pelatan has agreed to come on board as an intercessor. Marie-Christine is a mighty woman of God and powerful intercessor. She is French and she and her husband run an association for battered women in Reims, they have 8 children. We know we are actually getting 7X the prayer power with her joining us, as she and her six daughters are like a company of Joan of Arcs.
We also enjoyed a time of prayer and prophecy and were astounded at how much unity there was in the words we spoke over each other. All there felt it was a safe place with hearts that would be sensitive to the things we shared over the weekend. Relationship takes time and that was what the weekend was about. Getting to know more intimately the ladies He keeps putting beside us. And how amazing they are indeed! Seems God only sends the best.
The main thrust of the weekend by the Holy Spirit seemed to be the coming event for July. We could see from beginning to end how He has weaved a tapestry of prophecy, mystery and birthing of what is ahead in the coming months for France. As we told the story of all that has transpired, including all the intricate details, we were awestruck at just HOW MUCH the Father has given us as signposts along the way that we are indeed moving into the unfolding plan of God for this magnificent country. We have such expectancy. So much mystery was unraveled to us as He revealed how even things from our past that seemed insignificant at the time, were part of His greater purpose for this time (and beyond!). Hallelujah. Father knew we would say yes in the future so he prearranged things in our past so that everything would fall into place. Thank you Daddy!
Our Sunday night meeting with Matt Sorger was off the charts powerful. Many healings took place. A lady with serious digestive problems who had also just had a gall bladder removed reported being able to eat at night for the first time in many months without any pain. Even being able to sleep on her stomach.
Another gentleman who was experiencing such excruciating pain and had been submitted to MRIs, scans and blood test without results was healed of all pain.
Kelly, who for two years has had severe back pain, was miraculously healed. Some might ask how a lady who is so fit doing The Dailey Method (TDM) several times a week could have chronic back pain? Well it was TDM that kept the pain manageable. When she was off on vacation for a week or more the pain was severely multiplied. So it is a great delight that keeps her in awe and wonder to now live without the constant pain.
Matt talked about a visitation he had from a high ranking angel when he touched French soil, and again later when he was under the Arc the Triumph. He spoke on the spiritual heritage that the believers here have a right too. He said that NOW was the season for France. This correlates with so many prophecies we have been reading in the past year.
David Thabot who is pastor with his wife Christine of Temple de Paris translated. It flowed like oil and he was as anointed as the speaker! Thank you David!
The worship team was right in tune with Heaven, thank you Danny and team for your lover's heart.
Thank you Nichole and Madi for use of your lovely church building! May Father give you increase for such generosity, and enlarge your tent pegs!
Due to some unexpected hiccups we arrived to the meeting quite late with Matt Sorger, but thankfully Timothy and Princess were there and marvelously had everything ready and in place and all went without a hitch due to their wonderful gift for planning and serving. Thank you! The Lord has opened many doors for this lovely couple and as a result they are stepping down from the board of Parousia Paris due to the work Father is sending them forth in. We bless them and believe wonderful mighty things will be birth from their laid down lives.
We got to spend some personal time with Matt, and what a delightful person he is and his personal assistant Arthur Garcia was equally wonderful. (We had no idea what a joy it is when the speakers bring their own personal assistant!) It's the time we spend outside of the service where the speakers true colors come out. And we can tell you that Matt is the real deal! Both on the platform and away from it. We were blessed to have had this time with him and look forward to doing so again very soon. He is welcome here anytime!
Finally, some changes have occurred on the board as people are being moved into new places by the Holy Spirit and we are excited as we see the Father's plan unveiled and unfolding. We are pleased to announce that Geni Mermoud is going to be our new treasurer and oh my word what an ENHANCEMENT she is to us. Words fail me, as we got to know this beautiful lady last weekend. She is married to a Frenchman, and has two lovely children and lives in West Paris. She takes care of our website and now bless her heart has signed up for SO MUCH MORE! Thank you Jesus for sending only the best.
Your prayers are WORKING powerfully as we see our position in this nation and our role is clarifying more and more. France is just the starting place for us. Parousia is eventually about the nations of the earth and making His name famous in all the earth.
Thank you for effectiveness and filling up the bowls of heaven on our behalf!

Dear warriors,
As we prepare for the upcoming days heading into Paris Kairos on the 4th and 5th of July (prayer request update to follow soon!), we are so very appreciative of your continued intercession on behalf of France and what our Lord has planned in this season. The result: the Lion roars, freedom rings, honor is restored. What a time we live in!
We are also asking for special prayer to cover one of France's current mothers of the faith, Fabienne Pons. We will have time next week to honor our spiritual forefathers and this is an opportunity to honor a modern-day spiritual mother. Each of us has been called to a unique position in the kingdom and it is only as we work together that we form the healthy body and become the stunning bride for whom Christ longs. What Fabienne has sowed as she worships and serves the King has prepared the way for us and now we can help prepare the way for her, help hold her arms up, as the battle rages around her. Let us lock our shields for one another to counter the fiery darts of the enemy
She has asked specifically for prayer for the following over the next month:
1. She will be participating in TheCALL Paris which is to take place on July 5th. There is much spiritual activity surrounding this as one might imagine. May she stand firm on the great foundation of Christ, her Rock, her Strong Tower. May she not be moved, standing resolute. May she be
blessed with the peace of God that transcends all understanding and guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
2. She will shortly be departing July 6 for a 10 day trip to Israel with a group to participate in a conference they are conducting in Jerusalem. One of her many responsibilities (and joys!) will be leading the worship.
We know what a strategic time these days are in particular for Israel as God has promised that His holy hill of Zion is where the King is
installed! Many of you have been there also and know the intensity of preparing for a trip to this place. May He be enthroned in the praises,
may eyes be opened and hearts quickened to the love song of the Father.
If the Lord lays anything on your heart, any words of encouragement or insight, please feel free to pass them along.
My prayer for you this day is that you might intentionally and joyously live out the promise that comes from Psalm 25:14AMP "The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.
Blessings from on high!
