EMERGENCY PRAYER UPDATE

Iris Ministries and Rolland and Heidi Baker:

"EMERGENCY PRAYER UPDATE--EXPLOSIONS IN MAPUTO MOZAMBIQUE--PRAY!"

To Our Praying Family Across the World:

We are writing to ask for concentrated prayer for Maputo, the capitol of Mozambique, which got hit on Thursday, March 22, 2007 with explosions. Blasts occurred at Mozambican National Armory (near the airport). Two missile-like explosions have already hit our children's center in Zimpeto. As Heidi was talking on the phone with Norberto (her son who was sobbing), significant shrapnel fell and he barely moved out of the way to avoid it. Shrapnel hit the center and lighted fires. Our main church in Zimpeto, got hit and windows were shattered. The children were terrified. But, Pastor Jose rallied our kids together in our church, just worshipping and praying, crying out to God.

Twenty tons of ammunition were mistakenly set-off by our hot 36 degree (C') weather. The heat set-off one missile, which had a domino effect. The government believes more ammunition has yet to be detonated. Apparently, the hospitals of Maputo are packed with injured people flooding into clinics. The death toll is rising with 72 reported dead, many more displaced, countless injured, and no electricity. We have been given a great opportunity to go and shine The Light to the World.

Julio, our Iris Pemba Administrator, was reporting on the phone that many people are missing limbs. What an opportunity for creative miracles and to witness about The Prince of Peace in a time of chaos and confusion. The situation remains highly dangerous. Please pray for our children. Due to the missiles hitting the center, some of our children fled to villages. Please pray Jesus will help us find any missing children. The children are currently being evacuated.

Recently, The Mozambican Government decided not to declare a national emergency for the recent flooding of The Zambezia River, despite the fact that tens-of-thousands of lives have been displaced. Iris Ministries is one of the few relief efforts out there. The good news is that no one is refusing Jesus. Heidi said that everyone within the sound of a preacher's voice run to Jesus. Miracles abound, as we are feeding approximately 30,000 people a day.

We are trusting Jesus completely. God recently spoke to Heidi and said that He was going to shine a global spot light on Mozambique. And as the government refused outside help/attention/relief, God Himself would intervene. That which the enemy intended for evil would be used for good. We want our entire nation transformed by the glory of God. Nothing less.

Current news is posted at http://www.irismin.com. The Bakers arrive into Maputo on Wednesday. We are posting two recent reports from Mozambican missionaries below:

From Paul & Sally, Iris Zimpeto Missionaries (posted yesterday):

We wanted to update you with how things are in Zimpeto. No doubt much more will emerge tomorrow.

First, as you know, the local army base had 20-tonnes of munitions which were set-off by the heat today. It was similar to the last time this happened (around 3.30 pm), but then the missiles started flying overhead, and the bangs got closer and louder, and when one large explosion happened very close by (our windows shattered), everyone ran. Some ran down to the gate--others grouped in the prayer hut. No one knew the safest place to be--missiles and shells were exploding and flying overhead in all directions for several hours. We could see fires and smoke on the other side of the center walls.

We were with the group in the prayer hut--we had all the children (including the babies) crouch down by the office wall and George taped all the windows. The children were terrified and there was lots of crying which got louder with each explosion. Everyone was praying. After a short time of this, Pastor Jose began to sing and clap and we all began to worship. As we did this, not surprisingly, the atmosphere completely changed and we all managed to find a degree of peace as we worshipped and drowned out the sounds around us.

The explosions stopped late evening, and we managed to feed the children in the prayer hut. As we write, they are slowly returning to their dorms, although the babies will sleep in the prayer hut as there is a lot of glass in the baby house.

The damage/issues that we can see at present include the following:

Children are missing. Many ran away; some were in the city. We are doing a head-count and will look for the missing ones as soon as it's daylight.

The church was hit by a missile. There is damage to the roof and to the corner, and a big hole in the ground outside.

There is damage to school roofs, shrapnel all over the center, many blown windows, and false ceilings have collapsed. The finance office is full of debris, and the finance computer is broken and the ceiling is down.

We will keep you informed especially about missing children.

We are so thankful that as far as we know, the damage to Zimpeto was relatively small compared with the size of the explosions. We have unsubstantiated reports of people who have died in the community.

There are no injuries to Zimpeto children or staff to-date. Although it was a very traumatic time, we believe that everyone's faith levels have shot up dramatically!

From Pieter and Rika Boersma:

Yesterday, explosions shook Maputo, leaving thousands fleeing their homes and the death toll is at seventy-two. Late last night, we could still hear explosions and could feel it at our home, about twenty kilometers away. The government was storing old ammunition and explosions in a warehouse close to the airport. In January, there was a small explosion and the government promised to move the explosives. They failed to do this, and officials blame the continued warm conditions for the explosives detonating.

Some of the stories coming through the media are horrific--only arms and legs were found, and a mother still breastfeeding was found amongst some of the bodies as people are going through the rubble.

Please pray for Mozambique, this is the third disaster this year that it has to face. God has a plan for this nation, and only He can transform it and we know that He is going to do it. We believe He is going to make her like a diamond, and then He is going to present her to the nations. We believe that through Mozambique, God is going to touch the nations and we are excited to be here.

Prayer Points from Dutch Sheets

Prayer Points from Dutch Sheets

God is leading me to share a report of what I am hearing from Him for America. God has taken the prayer movement to a more decentralized apostolic paradigm; this is allowing more ownership to be taken on local levels. This is as it should be--the purpose of my update will simply be to make you aware of national issues/developments/events, etc. that need our concerted prayer. The question I will address is simply, "What is the Holy Spirit saying to the praying Church of America?"

Prayer Point 1: Baal

Through a season of tremendous warfare in November and December, as well as confirmation from many key leaders, God has exposed the spirit of Baal as one of the strongmen--perhaps the strongman--over America.

Baal-hamon, one of Baal's names, means "the lord of wealth or abundance." Chuck Pierce believes, and I agree, that this is the principality warring against the great transfer of wealth to the Church. You must war against this spirit to see your inheritance released. Claim Jeremiah 51:44 (Bel in this verse is Baal).

Baal-berith, another of his names, means "the lord of the covenant." The Hebrew word baal actually means "husband" or "marriage." This spirit always attempted to cause Israel to "divorce" or break covenant with God and "marry" or align with him. Consistent with this, in so many ways, America has broken covenant with God and married Baal. This is, I believe, the strongman behind most covenant-breaking.

Baal is the strongman behind sexual perversion. Homosexuality was and is one of his big strongholds. I believe all of the sexual sin and perversion in America is, to one degree or another, under Baal's orchestration. You will continue to see God expose leaders in the Church who aligned themselves with this spirit. Pray for the Church to be cleansed and for Baal's hold on America in this area to be broken.

Baal always goes after the next generation, trying to cut off the extension of God's covenantal purposes. He is a violent spirit and even required human sacrifice. Abortion is under Baal, as is the "cutting" of today's young generation (see 1 Kings 18:28), the vampire and goth movement, and the death culture in general that has so invaded America. Baal is leading the fight to avert the great awakening planned for the young generation of Americans today. Pray against and bind these efforts.

Witchcraft and occult spirits in general operate under Baal. So does Jezebel. Pray against this spirit's influence in your area as the Lord leads you. Be wise and discerning, and learn as much as you can about it before you take action. I have barely scratched the surface in this writing.

Prayer Point 2: The Coming Youth Revival

I prophesied in January 2006, that the lid was coming off of the youth movement (teens and 20's) that year. It happened. I recently heard Cindy Jacobs say at least 100 college campuses in America now have 24/7 prayer. Just last week, I heard of three colleges that are experiencing many conversions and baptizing students in campus fountains! I was with my dear friends Karen Wheaton and Damon Thompson in Cleveland, TN, and Hamilton, AL, last week ministering to young people and youth pastors. I have never seen such passion. Karen's ministry, The Ramp, is definitely one of the seeds--maybe the foremost seed--of this awakening. It is incredible.

Also, Lou Engle is resurrecting The Call this year in Nashville, TN, on 07/07/07. This was not an arbitrary date--God gave it to Lou. I heard a prophet in September 2006, who knew nothing about Lou's plans, prophesy to him that 07/07/07 is an important day to God and that God was speaking to him about an important event on that date. The Lord went on to say He was lowering a scepter into the earth on that day.

As I set myself to seek the Lord concerning this date and study Baal because of the warfare I was experiencing, the two issues began to dovetail. I found the number "seven" in most of the passages where Israel was coming out from under this spirit or warring against one of the Canaanite and Baal worshiping tribes. In seeking to understand the significance of this, the Lord reminded me that seven is a covenantal number.

In a covenant ceremony, an offering was repeated seven times or an oath was sworn seven times. The words "oath" and "swear" actually come from the number seven and mean literally "to seven one's self." I believe the Lord revealed to me that on 07/07/07, God is offering America the opportunity to end our covenant/marriage with Baal and re-establish our covenant with God as a nation. I am not implying that the full fruit of this will be seen immediately but that the stronghold can be broken and change will follow. Pray for Lou Engle and this event and if at all possible, be in Nashville with us on 07/07/07. Go to The Call's web site: www.thecall.com for details. We are asking for 100,000 people to come.

Pray concerning this great youth awakening in general. It will be historical, breaking all records. God is on a mission! He won't be stopped. Nothing is more important to Him at this time.

Prayer Point 3: Government

1) Begin now to pray for the elections of '08. Just when it seems the stakes can't get higher, they do. There are some of the frontrunners running for president who, if they were to win, it would set America back 40 years. We are now coming to the end of a 40-year wilderness cycle that began in the 60's. We cannot afford another. Call forth the purposes of God in 2008.

2) Pray for a completion of what God has begun on the Supreme Court. I sense great lethargy and complacency concerning this at the present time. If we don't get a third "right" Justice onto the bench, we will not cross over into a new season. Winning this war is imperative! Please pick up this assignment again.

3) Pray against terrorism and concerning the situation in the Middle East. It is absolute deception for us to believe radical Islam can be defeated through natural forces only. We must do a better job of picking up this burden. It is one of the callings of our time and a billion souls are hanging in the balance. I sense another shift is coming soon to this region. Please pray for our President, military, advisors, and all who are involved in this. Bind the prince of Persia and Babylon from prevailing.

Praise Report: The state of Virginia has become the first state (according to them) to formally apologize for the sin of slavery and for exploiting Native Americans (as stated at the top of this Elijah List newsletter). This is huge! And it is very timely for the nation as we celebrate the 400-year anniversary of our covenant with God at Plymouth Rock April 29th, of this year. On the 50-State Tour, the Holy Spirit called Virginia the "covenant root of the nation." Can you see how God is preparing the ground for us to re-establish our covenant with Him and break our alliance with Baal?

As you continue to war for your personal regions and territories, please don't forget the nation as a whole. Pray with us. We are winning this war.

Thank you for all you do!

Jack's Homecoming, March 5th, 2007
Our Dear Family and Friends,

We are praying that the Holy Spirit comfort you and bless you as we write to tell you that Jack went on to glory this morning about 1 a.m.

Jack could talk on Saturday night at bedtime. He had a very restless night and early on Sunday morning began to show serious signs of decline. Mid-morning he lapsed into a coma and never regained consciousness.

Trisha was there loving and attending Jack the entire time. Family and friends surrounded them with love and prayers. Several played the guitar and sang so the day was filled with wonderful music, covering Jack and Trisha and the household with praises to the Lord.

The visitation will be held at Christ Community Church, 1500 Hwy 501 Business, Conway, SC (the Frost's home church) on Tuesday evening from 6 until 8 p.m. The funeral will be held at Christ Community on Wednesday but arrangements are incomplete. We will update this information when plans are final.

We send heartfelt love and thanks to all of you who have given much wonderful love and prayers and fastings and support in myriads of ways. Please know that we have embraced your love and the Lord has used you to "keep our arms lifted" especially for the last months.

Now join us in rejoicing in Jack's total healing as he sees his Father face to face, and hears our Father say "this my son was dead and is alive again" (Luke 15:24)

In Father's Arms,

Mark and Jane, Johnnie and Kay and all at Shiloh Place.

PLEASE PRAY FOR JO ANNA WATSON

Please pray for Jo Anna Watson for an upcoming trip to Uganda in March. This is my 7th trip to Uganda and will be my 2nd meeting with the Uganda Government, my first was last summer. In March I will be leading at team and introducing an American "faith based" Company who wants to partner with Uganda.

Please pray for my team and the CEO of the Company as we meet this week to prepare for the trip in March. Also, pray for the success of these meetings, pray for wisdom and revelation as we meet to discuss technology and details regarding the partnership.
