First Assembly of God Church, Bettendorf, Iowa
David recently ministered at an Assembly of God church in New Jersey. The Sunday night service is a special time for David, as he prays and releases the children and youth to pray for the congregation. The Sunday night service has become known as the "miracle service". As David called out the people who had pain in their bodies, the youth and children laid their hands on individual people. David told the youth and children to take authority over the people's pain, and many were healed. After this David asked for those who had hearing problems to come forward, five people came up. One was a teenage girl who had been deaf in one ear since the age of six. After the children prayed for her David told her to close her good ear and then he whispered into her deaf ear. She shouted out what David whispered to her. She wept with joy and amazement that God had healed her using little kids. The next person the children prayed for was an elderly lady in her eighties who had been using a hearing aid to hear with. David asked her to remove it and then he whispered into her ears. The same thing happened to her, she was healed, and she also began shouting the words that David whispered into her ears. The next lady had a constant ringing in her ear as well as being unable to hear out of it. Guess what? That's right, after the children prayed for her she was also healed. God is using the foolish and weak things to confound the wise and mighty.Keep praying for us as we continue to believe for God to pour out his anointing upon his youth and children. ________________________________________________________________________ A
letter from Ronda J I'm listening to one of your tapes right now and feel like I am about to bust with total excitement about this new/fresh revelations about "all our babies" being so important in the kingdom of God!!! The little nine year old Shelby that you called up and held her arms as you spoke (she was one of our youth)...the very next day her little cousin came over to her house to spend the night and Shelby led her to the Lord. LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER WE GOT HOME, LITTLE SHELBY WAS OPERATING IN WHAT SHE HAD HEARD!!!! I have great expectations for the work God has for our children to do and accomplish.....thank you so very much for your ministry and obedience to the Lord.
Over Seas Report My
sons and I were participants in your seminar at Kadena Community Church
at Okinawa, Japan. The Holy Spirit really touched my sons.
I cannot begin to share the awesome power and boldness that
the Lord has given to my children. They now know that praising
and worshiping the Lord, speaking and sharing the Gospel and just
having an initmate relationship with Jesus can be so fun! Now
that we are in England, the Lord is continuing their calling in Praise
and Worship and being able to show the light of the Lord through their
singing. Thank you Brother David and Sister Kathie for your servanthood
to Our Lord.
So Long Overdue! Dear Brother David: This praise report is so long overdue; we apologize for the delay! My husband and I both attended a conference you did in Hagerstown, Maryland at Faith Chapel back in October of 1999. An employee of ours who attended the church had invited us. We were only able to attend the Saturday meeting, but what a time we had. Neither of us had heard of you or your ministry, but we had been recently appointed to lead the youth of our church only six months earlier. We were at the place in our ministry where we knew that God was calling us to step out, but we had no idea of where we were going. We were willing, but lacked the know-how. Then we came and heard you speak. The things that you shared about how to minister to children were both shocking to us and exciting! It is so wonderful how God begins to deal with our hearts prior to the time that something is going to be revealed to us. We were ready. As you shared about what to expect from children and what they expect from us as adults, I tell you I was wondering how many others were squirming in their seats. You see, I came from an early childhood and elementary school teaching background. The things that you were sharing were completely contrary to things that I had been taught as ways that children learn. Thank God, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways are higher than our ways. I had learned along time ago that submission was better than sacrifice, so I decided to dig in and go deeper with what God was saying to us through your meeting. We purchased several books, study guides, etc. We took vicious notes as you taught the Word of God. We remained open minded and never spoke a Word against what we had heard. We went home, back to our Youth Group and Wednesday night services hit! I stood in front of the group and repented of where we had missed it with them as leaders. I told them that God had a new direction for us and we were going to move into it. I preached a message for the first time! Not a prepared or scripted message, I taught the Word which was so alive in me that it came rushing out, with the same anointing as when Brother David spoke it at the meeting. I told the kids that they had the same Spirit of God in them as I had. I told them I was sorry for treating them differently! I gathered them altogether in that small room and told them that we were going to pray. I lead the prayer as each child stood there holding the hand of a person next to them. I prayed fervently repenting of our disobedience to what God wanted us to do. I began to feel God's anointing all over that room. Children began praying in their prayer language. Children began crying before the Lord. I felt the Lord instruct me to go around the circle and lay hands on each of the children. I had never done anything like this before, but I knew it was what I was supposed to do! As I walked around and laid hands on each child I felt a different anointing all over me. I was praying boldly in my prayer language and it was changing as I passed over each child. God was revealing to me different anointings for each child. Children were falling out under the anointing of God all around me. I must repeat, this had never happened before. Children were lying all over the floor, crying and being ministered to by the Lord. It was beautiful! Revival broke out that night in our Youth group. We were not prepared and we had no idea what to do! The Lord instructed me a little while later to gather up the children and take them over to the main sanctuary. God was obviously all over them. I hastily gave swift instructions on where we were going and what they were to do when they got there. Everyone followed me in quiet obedience and we burst into the main sanctuary. Our Pastor welcomed us with open arms and was sensitive to the move of the Holy Spirit immediately. I stood before the congregation and somehow tried to tell them what had just been happening with their children. The Spirit of God hit me again and I started preaching, all over again! As I stood before the group, I tearfully asked if any of the children wanted to share what God had done for them. One by one they began to rise, sobbing and shaking, retelling what God had spoke to each of them. It was truly a moving experience. Some spoke of things that the Lord had told them to lay down, some spoke of healings, some spoke of their calling, each one was profoundly changed that night. I write this lengthy report to tell you, that you won't remember us as anyone special at the meeting. We never came up for prayer. We never spoke to you during the event, but the uncompromised Word of God that you preached had a great impact on us, our church, and our Youth Group (the later two of which have never heard of you or your ministry). It's the Word of God that destroys the yokes. It's the Word of God that performs what God has sent it to do. Things have not stopped after that evening! Things have only grown. Our group is now about thirty strong. We range in age from seven to twenty-two, but the Word of God ministers to all ages and provides the necessary understanding for each one's Spirit. Many since that night have received the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
Thank you
for being obedient to your calling. We are very grateful!
I just wanted to give you some feed back on the seminar for training up your child. What a change has been made in my thinking. I guess because of never being trained up myself and not really ever knowing where to go for materials I have been doing a job that I did not realize I was not equipped to do. I have probably more than 50 child rearing books I have purchased from books stores mostly all from Christian bookstores. I have read them all and taken what I felt I could use and tried to use it. I bought the Child Training Tips Book (What I wish I had know when my children were young) by Rob Bradley and what a book! How I wish it would have been brought to my attention 5 or 6 years ago. It tells you what you should do and then tells you what to do to correct problems if you weren't doing what you should have been. I am purchasing the book as Christmas gifts for families who I know need it. It became very clear to me at the seminar what a real responsibility I have in raising Blake to be a mature and self controlled adult. The other thing that really hit me which I guess I knew already was that I am going to be responsible for how I discipline Blake and just because my spouse doesn't want to discipline does not release me from my responsibility. I understand that it will be more difficult for me and there will be times when I will be tired of being the enforcer but at this time in my life it is better to be the only one than to not have one at all. I have accepted this challenge and I'm not going to let Satan make me feel guilty about what I should have been doing in the past. Thank you
so much for going through the trouble to bring David Walters here.
The visitation with our kids is continuing. This Sunday some of them went into heavy-duty intercession during Children's Church, and had to be taken into a separate room where everything just intensified! At the end of a service that was powerfully anointed anyway, the children who had been praying were brought out (carried out) into the main auditorium where they joined the ministry team in praying. What a glorious day! God really moved powerfully imparting a heart for the lost and spiritual power to demonstrate the Kingdom to the lost. Thank you so much (thank David too!) for coming and sharing your lives and anointing with us! You guys are
awesome. Keep running with the fire!
Brother David, Just a note of praise and thanks to God Our Father for you're time of ministry with us at Calvary Fellowship, Florence, Al. Our church continues to enjoy a fresh working of the Holy Spirit among us. Our children and teens continue to be very excited, the Lord is using them in ministry like they never dreamed. Children have been prophesying to each other in one of our Sunday school classes. We are planning a Sunday night miracle service on the first Sunday night of each month. Our whole church has been greatly encouraged in the Holy Spirit. The Lord bless you and this ministry through you! In Him,
A Daily News Update ******************Today's Lead Story******************* Pentecostals Urgently Raising Children as 'Warriors for God' More and more
Christians are placing an emphasis on training the youngest to embrace
spiritual disciplines by Leigh DeVore. The phenomenon of turning children
as young as toddlers into "warriors for God" is sweeping Pentecostalism,
according to an article in "The Dallas Morning News." Through intense
training in prayer and Bible study, parents believe they can resist
what they believe are Satan's attacks on their kids. The children,
they say, may go on to become prophets and healers. In order to arm
children with the Holy Spirit, dozens of children's ministries are
appearing with names such as National Children's Prayer Network, Spiritual
Warfare Advanced Training and International Children's Ministry Institute.
The Dallas newspaper reported that an assortment of forces seem to
be motivating parents to instill the faith in their children at younger
and younger ages. Factors include the belief that the end of the world
is near, the increase in television violence, the outcome of President
Clinton's moral failings, and the April 1999 Columbine High School
tragedy in Colorado.
Blessings from Heaven Recently in one of David Walters' meetings, Nicole a 7 year old girl was given a vision, first of Hell, and then of Heaven. After Nicole shared her vision with David he asked if she would draw it. The following pictures are what she drew from her vision.
David Walters was at New
Life Assembly of God in Beulah, ND. the weekend of Jan 25th.
During the Sunday night miracle service
several children were laying
hands on the sick and  She
was in constant pain in her chest and had breathing problems. After the
children prayed for her on Sunday evening,
the pain immediately left and she was able
to breath normally. Julie Enget the pastor's wife and Sunday School Coordinator said the following: After experiencing "Raising An Anointed Generation" Seminar, Family Rally, Sunday Morning Service, and Children's Miracle Service we feel our church has stepped up into an anointed dimension. There is more Holy Ghost fire, hunger for families, greater intercession, and greater urgency to pray and seek God. We are now establishing ministry teams with children and youth. |
"If Satan can't kill through abortion, he'll
kill them through other stuff," said David Walters, a Georgia-based
evangelist on the cutting edge of the phenomenon. "It's almost a last
desperate final fling to destroy this generation because he knows
there is coming this holy, righteous, anointed generation that's going
to do mighty things in these last days. Our children could be the
last generation on this earth before the return of Christ," Walters
explained.
Though
that seems a little young by many Christians' standards, David Walters
thinks differently. "Children do not have a baby Jesus inside them
or a junior Holy Spirit," said Walters, who operates Good News Fellowship
Ministries in Macon, Ga., with his wife, Kathie. "They have the full-sized
Son of God inside them. They may be immature in the natural realm
but mighty in the spirit."
praying
for them. A woman named Anita was almost blind
in one eye. She could make out shapes only, but after prayer
she was able to count the fingers that Rev Walters held up in front
of her. She was also able to see writing on a post on the wall several
feet away although she could not read the words. The following Sunday
she was able to read her Bible clearly from that eye. God
had completely healed her eye.
