Miracles of favor

Dear Friends,

God is doing awesome things in Mexico! After two and a half years of praying doors are beginning to open up in central Mexico in a big way. We are continuing to see miracles. God is granting favor. And things are gearing up next week for a possible showdown with local witches in Tijuana. Let me share with you what is going on...

  • Miracles of Favor
  • Open doors in Central Mexico
  • The prophetic word fulfilled in Nuevo Laredo
  • Miracles at Cosecha Final Church in Houston
  • Mount Carmel in Tijuana?


Miracles of Favor

Three weeks ago I was told I had to upgrade my tourist visa in Mexico to FM3 status as a minister. This is a residential status officially recognizing me as a minister and is very difficult to acquire. I didn't even know where to start. Everywhere I called there were no answers. The Mexican Consulate wouldn't tell me anything. But I know God had a way. So I prayed for help. As I prayed a person who holds a federal position in immigration called my home to ask for prayer! (Thank You, Jesus!) She is a new Christian and has a friend who recommended she call me. After praying with her I asked her if she could instruct me as to how to go about getting my FM3. She told me it would be an honor to help me and that is what she does! I was able to visit her office and take all the documents needed (a file a half inch thick) and she began the process. (Just getting all those documents required a few miracles along the way!) Today I will be returning to her office to pick up my FM3! For anyone who has tried to get their FM3 will know this was a miracle!

Open Doors in Central Mexico
As you may know, most all my contacts in Mexico have been in the north part of the country. But I've been praying about how to penetrate the Mexico City area and central Mexico. The Lord has answered. In September I'll be ministering in Pachuca, Hidalgo for several days. Then in the first days of November I'll be ministering at a large prayer conference in Mexico City at Centro Cristiano Calacoaya with Pastors Gonzalo and Olivia Vega. This is a church of 6,000 people. I know the Lord will do awesome things there and establish more contacts in Central Mexico.

The Prophetic Word fulfilled in Nuevo Laredo
In January of 1999 I took a team of four couples with me to Piedras Negras, Coahuila to minister at a Methodist pastor's conference. At that conference all of the pastors were filled with the Holy Spirit and God moved in a mighty way. Because of what God did there I was invited back to minister for other Methodist districts and other churches. On of the pastors to whom I ministered during that conference was Pastor Valeriano García who was pastoring in Nuevo Laredo. I prophesied to him that God was going to provide a large parcel of land and everything needed for the building and that God would raise up a church that had a school and several outreaches to the city.

At the time Pastor Valeriano was, like most Methodist pastors, an itinerant pastor moving every so many years to wherever he was appointed. But the Lord planted a seed in his heart that January. By that Summer the Lord moved on him, several families in the church and upon his leadership that he was to plant a new church. As they began to take steps to obey the Word of the Lord, a large parcel of land (2 hectares) was donated to them. Within a couple of months an American church donated for a building to be built! Last week I ministered at their 5th anniversary. They have a good solid group of people, most of whom are new converts and they are moving ahead with plans to start a school. The prophetic word they received has defined their vision and they are full of joy at what the Lord is doing. Pastor Valeriano is no longer an itinerant pastor, but is established there for as long as the Lord wants him. Praise the Lord!

Miracles at Cosecha Final Church in Houston

This last weekend I ministered at Cosecha Final Church in Houston, Texas. The pastors and the church were wide open for the prophetic and apostolic. God did an awesome move to impart a business anointing to the people to break the spirit of poverty. We also saw quite a few healings and miracles. We had people testifying of healed backs, legs, diabetes, headaches, and more. We also saw about 7 people saved. We are making plans to go with Pastors in 2005 to the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Guerrero where they oversee several churches.

Mount Carmel in Tijuana?

Next week I'll be ministering at a large apostolic prophetic conference in Tijuana, Baja California. The local witches and psychics who are on TV have caught wind of it and have vowed to stop it. Some actually plan to attend. One local TV station is wanting to do live coverage. I told the pastor perhaps we need to re-name the conference to "Encounter at Mount Carmel"! Please pray that these witches will come and get saved. Agree with us that no weapon formed against us can prosper, and pray with us to cause confusion in the enemy's camp. Our God is the only True and Living God and He is the One who answers with fire! Hallelujah!

God is our Source
We know God is our Source of Supply. But Dianne and I thank Him for those of you who give to this ministry. We are amazed every month at how God provides. He is so creative! Yet we are still believing God for increase so we can fulfill the vision He has given us. If He speaks to you about becoming a monthly partner with us, we have included giving information below.

Dianne and I decree blessing to you in Jesus' name!
  
 Your Servants,

Cliff & Dianne Bell
