Reynosa - Positioning for Transformation
Dear Friends,
The Lord has been opening doors both in our local area and in the very
heart of Mexico! Tonight my family will join me at Centro Vida (Life
Center) in Brownsville, the southernmost tip of Texas. I'm looking
forward to God showing up in an awesome way! But let me share what
has been happening since I last wrote you! In this e-bulletin:
- New Hope - and
Faith!
- Testimony - boy
healed, released from hospital within an hour
- Reynosa - Positioning
for Transformation!
- Aiming for the
heart of Mexico
- Prophetic Training
Seminar in Monterrey
- New cell phone
number
New Hope - and
Faith!
On July 11, my family joined me in ministry at New Hope Ministries Church
in McAllen, Texas with Pastor Omar Hinojosa. This church is very
open to the prophetic and apostolic and is hungry for God. This
is also a bilingual church, so I ministered in both Spanish and English.
Dianne joined me during the prophetic ministry. As she ministered
to the women in particular she sensed over each one the same stronghold.
We realized it was a territorial stronghold of abuse, victimization and
oppression against women in this area. (This county has the highest
rate of domestic abuse, sexual crimes, and violence of any county in Texas.)
We led the congregation in a prayer of deliverance to set the women free. The
people were so hungry, the pastor kept encouraging us to keep ministering.
Most people stayed until we finally had to stop at 3 PM. I appreciated
the fact that they don't just want prophetic ministry, they want to develop
prophetic ministry in their church!
Testimony - boy healed, released from hospital within an hour!
While ministering at New Hope, I was able to prophesy and minister to
a man whose son was bitten by a brown recluse spider the day before.
The son, Daniel, was in serious condition in the hospital.
Another child had been hospitalized for six days for the same cause.
As I prophesied the Lord boldly declared that the boy was being healed. Within
the hour, the hospital called Daniel's father to let him know the boy was
suddenly well and could be released to go home! This really enthused
the congregation as they saw the power of the prophetic word demonstrated!
Reynosa - Positioning for Transformation!
Things are happening fast! Perhaps you remember the Border Prayer
Network regional summit I co-sponsored here in the Rio Grande Valley last
April? One church from Reynosa really took everything to heart and
established the Target 7 prayer strategy in their church. Then on
May 29, there was the first-ever in Reynosa, city-wide prayer rally, and
they filled the baseball stadium with praise and prayer. Also, a
group of pastors began meeting together monthly to pray, calling their
gathering "Despierta Reynosa!" (Wake up, Reynosa!).
Now get this! The pastor's alliance have heard about the Target
7 prayer strategy and have asked for a meeting on July 30 to introduce
it to all of them so their churches can implement it! Can you imagine
what God will do when the believers of this city begin crying out
to God in unity, with strategy, biblically, and fervently!!!!???
This is another first for Reynosa! I am looking forward to seeing
transformation take place in this city of 1.2 million!
Aiming for the heart of Mexico
For some time I've been praying for the Lord to open up doors in central
Mexico, specifically in Mexico's two largest cities: Mexico
City and Guadalajara. We've already established a presence in Monterrey,
Mexico's 3rd largest city. These three cities are strategic and
necessary to reach the nation. God has begun answering prayer!
In September I'll be in Pachuca, Hidalgo, only a short drive from Mexico
City. Then Oct. 29 - Nov. 2 I'll be ministering at a Prayer Encounter
in Mexico City at one of the most influential churches (6,000 members).
I'll be ministering along the lines of prophetic/apostolic prayer and
decrees, and action for national transformation. I believe
God is going to set His people on fire, and equip them to bind the
strong man, rise up as the stronger man and begin to legislate in the
heavenlies to see transformation in Mexico!
Preparing for Prophetic Training Seminar in Monterrey
Lately I've been working hard to prepare for our next prophetic training
seminars in Monterrey. We plan to hold modules 1 and 2 simultaneously
November 10 - 13. I have enough local pastors there to help me teach
them. Others are coming in to help with personal ministry.
I'll be sharing the vision for this seminar to the pastor's alliance in
Monterrey (over 250 pastors) on August 3. Please pray with us that
the Lord would touch their hearts and the seed would go into good ground.
Dianne and I thank you for your faithful prayer and giving. We
continue to extend our faith for more monthly consistent partners. Also,
as you can see by my itinerary below, I will be doing a lot of traveling
in the coming months. I would appreciate your prayers for both myself
and my family.
New Cell phone number
For those who are interested, my new cell phone number is 956-330-7361.
Dianne and I thank God for you and bless you in Jesus' name!
Your Servants,
Cliff & Dianne Bell
