Report from Fellowship meeting in Ames, IA, September 19-20:

The time in Ames was a wonderful time of refreshing, worship, fellowship, and feeding from God’s word.  It was the first time we held our whole fellowship meeting from beginning to end within the same motel facilities. This really enhanced our opportunities for fellowship with each other.  We were at Country Inn in Ames. The staff was great… friendly and very helpful.

Anna Cummings led some very anointed quality worship, accompanied by three excellent musicians from Heartland Assembly where our guest minister David Olson pastors.

David Olson from Heartland Assembly in Ankeny, IA., brought us an outstanding word on stewarding the moves of God. Earl Ready put together a summary of the message which  is posted at the end of this report.

On Monday we received video reports from 3 of our missionaries. Narayan from Nepal and  New Life Homes for the handicapped, John Smith from Malawi, and Larry and Jean Johnson from Vancouver and the rest of the world.

Also on Monday, Paul Tucker brought a stirring word of instruction and  exhortation focusing especially on our need as ministers to “grow up” , especially in the area of forgiveness and relationships. He touched on many other areas as well. We ended with an anointed time of communion…. A first for an I.A.M. Fellowship.

Notes from David Olson’s message Monday eve. Sept. 19. Submitted by Earl Ready.

How to Sustain the Move of God

Introduction

• How to obtain and maintain a move of the Spirit and keep it alive for the next generation.
• Matthew 25 Ten Virgins and Parable of the Talents describes the
• Dynamic of the Church and the Kingdom of God in the end times.Virgins – important to keep “full of oil” – intimacy / soaking
• Talents – Note pattern of Visitation / Impartation / Isolation
• Master is returning to “settle accounts” with his servants
• What we do during “isolation” phase qualifies / disqualifies us for next move.

Wave of the 1990’s

• Brought a fresh move of the Spirit – many of us impacted by that wave
• Some that caught that wave are now worse off than before
• God wants us to steward the deposit of impartation we received in the move of the Spirit, between each wave of the Spirit
• Waves of Spirit are coming in greater frequency, like birth pangs in childbirth – a sign of the end times.
• Churches / individuals that positions themselves by stewarding the last move will be ready to     catch the next move
• Prophetic Judgments  must also be stewarded properly to avoid negativity and false doctrine

Example: Wilkerson’s warning of judgments coming to USA

• Judgment prophecies are not inevitabilities that describe God’s heart desire for the nation.
• Must see them as warnings, as invitations to intercession – like Abraham interceding for Lot, Sodom, and Gomorrah.
• Don’t leave God alone about our nation!  He is looking for someone to grab hold of His heart to extend mercy, not judgment!

Note: This principle of stewardship also applies to impartation.

Some of Pastor Dave’s Personal Dealings

Vision of angels appearing to shepherds at Jesus’ birth (6 mo. ago)

• Then saw Babe lying in the manger – it was a sign to validate angelic encounter
• Seems like reverse of “angelic encounter validating Jesus’ birth”
• Lord was saying, “This is a sign of how I move.”
• It was an infant expression of what the saints cried out to God for.
• Swaddling clothes kept that baby secure, but there was little outward movement
• If we miss the sign of the manger, we can miss the move of God
• We want a big harvest – so God gives us seeds

He is also a credentialed member of the IAM.  This kind of info is vital as we seek to minister both effectively, ethically, and legally in this nation.
