Something I picked up recently from my Holy Spirit teacher and reminder is a lesson in the trials of this Christian way. I felt confident in the implanted word in me over the last few weeks and that confidence was shattered in a few hours by a test and when I inquired about the confusion I was informed I had picked up a bad spirit. I knew the truth of it by the way I felt and so I bound and cast it out. But the feeling hadn't totally gone away and enquiring again I heard "Faith isn't faith until it has been tested." With that I remembered Abraham's call to sacrifice his precious son and the climb it took him to the moment as the knife was poised of God's grace and mercy. My faith message, that inner still quiet voice, came associated with anointing, with tears shared over 15,000kms with my wife who was feeling the same and I assumed the deed mentioned was to be that day.

Once many years ago I wrote a piece about God being a mountain standing behind me which said "as if ready to explode but to me it is home."

Five years ago I heard a word from the Lord that I was to go to South America and that I will teach in a university. This after being told there was a move afoot to get rid of me from my pastoral position.

I had money to reroof the house but the Lord said "I will take care of that, you take care of Brazil." My wife suggested I look at the ticket with vision and at the price and there I saw $1467.00 and a few weeks later I was advised by a former parishioner from Brazil there was a sale on at Latam. Low and behold the return ticket was $1467.00 and the roof has not leaked all winter wet. I was also told some other things and felt it was about bringing something powerful back to pass on to others. Well now I'm here in Sao Paulo,
