Report on my time in Ardmore, Oklahoma by Andy Rudd (pastor of Harvest Fellowship)

Days of Breakthrough Part 1

We are definitely in days of breakthrough in South Central Oklahoma! I am so thrilled to see what God continues to do in our region.

Harvest Fellowship was blessed to host Steve Lincoln from the UK from January 19 to the 24 as he began a six-week tour of the US. Steve is the UK BURN Director and the founder of Eagles' Wings Ministries. Steve is a prophet with an anointing for breakthrough, and that was very evident as God used him during his stay in Ardmore.

On Wednesday evening Steve ministered at Solid Rock Church which is pastored by my friend Steve Skinner. Harvest Fellowship joined this congregation for a joint service filled with worship, teaching and ministry. Throughout the evening we saw a manifestation in the natural of what I believe is happening in the heavenlies.

As the service progressed, a thick fog settled in outside, hindering visibility as the meeting was ending. However, as Steve continued ministering to people still remaining (including me....and isn't new wine awesome!), a powerful wind suddenly swept down on the church. I thought at one point the doors would blow off of the building. By the time Steve and I left, not a trace of fog remained.

Steve sees many things in the spirit, and that night he saw lots of angelic activity as we left the building. These angelic beings were pushing things away. I believe what we saw manifest in the physical realm is manifesting in the heavenlies over Ardmore and the surrounding areas. The heaviness is being forced out as a new wind of the Spirit comes rushing into our midst!

In the last month I've seen several remarkable signs in the heavenlies in our region and our state, including a 'blanket of glory' during the December BURN Preview at Harvest Fellowship (detailed in a previous blog). These things all seem to be prophetic signs that an awakening is happening and increasing!

Acts 2:17-20 says, "In the last days...I will pour out my Spirit on all people...I will show wonders in the heavens and signs on the earth below." Lord, continue to pour out your Spirit!

A day of incredible breakthrough in Los Fresnos and Indian Lake, Texas

WOW! What an amazing day! Thank you Holy Spirit!!!!

The day started off with a time of worship that was only planned to be about 1/2 hour and then I was going to share for a while, but God had different plans! The worship went on for nearly 3 hours and the teacher who had come to teach the missions staff Spanish had to postpone her lesson. She said she was really glad, as she hadn't been in a time of worship like that for a long time. :-)

In the evening I did a meeting at a small town called Indian Lake, and the worship was really good. I was helped by a wonderful and anointed friend of mine, Jessica Long, and a team of cool musos and worshippers.



I had prepared a teaching on the love of God, but again the Lord did something else (don't you just love the freedom of the Holy Spirit!?) - the worship and the prophetic flow was all about God's deep love and when I started to share I just felt that people should come forward to get personal breakthrough and healing. Almost everyone came forward and received prayer and there was a deep flow of inner healing.



Later on, we had a time of worship back at the United in Christ base, and it was ROCKIN'!!! The prophetic flow was great and we ended up going until about 1.00am!



Am I a blessed man, or what!? Thanks Lord!!!



Tonight I am ministering at the soup kitchen......

Matamoros, Mexico and Los Fresnos, Texas

Welcome to Matamoros!

Well.....after a great meeting on Sunday morning at Harvest Fellowship in Ardmore, Oklahoma, I flew down to a little town called Los Fresnos in southern Texas, just about 1/2 hour from the Mexican/US border.

I have been soooo blessed to see what this incredible group of people are doing and I count it a real privilege to be spending time with them and to be a part of the family.

Some of the projects that this ministry is involved with are an orphanage, a soup kitchen (which is also a church - I am preaching there tonight), a rehab centre and also other churches that they are planting in the area. I was taken around these projects and met some of the people who are leading the work in Mexico.

Our ministry will be helping to support this work and we will be giving more details later....

BURN Ardmore!

Well........I had a fantastic time at the BURN in Ardmore on Saturday!

God really moved powerfully and my teaching went down well. I had a lot of positive feedback about it afterwards, and have been invited to minister at a couple of other churches when I am back in Ardmore.

Here's a video of me "drumming up a storm" for the Lord with my good friend Tino.

More later.....

More from Ardmore...

Well, I'm enjoying my time in Ardmore. It's great to be amongst a church community that has a real family feel to it.

I am staying in a classic American motel, and it's been nice to have some space to get over my jetlag (and a cold that I am fighting back!) I personally prefer to stay with people, as it helps you to get to know each other, but this has definitely been God's doing and I am grateful for it. :-)

So.....I taught at a Christian school yesterday, that is headed by Andy and Jami Rudd (the pastors of Harvest church where I am being hosted). I taught on hearing God's voice, and it went really well. The children were all very attentive, even when we had a time of listening to God's voice. They are great kids! (They are also fascinated by my Brit accent!)

In the evening we had a time of fellowship and talked about the BURN, which will take place on Saturday. I will be teaching at the BURN and then also leading worship and helping some of the teams during the day.

I've arrived in the USA - first stop - Ardmore, Oklahoma

I had a GREAT meeting tonight at "Solid Rock" in Ardmore, Oklahoma. The worship was very sweet and from the outset I could feel that God was going to do something special in the way of inner healing.

After I had finished the worship I taught for about an hour on "Releasing the Power of Creativity in Worship" and it went down very well with some good questions asked afterwards.

I then asked people to come forward if they needed a breakthrough in order to come into the fulfilment of their dreams and visions that God has spoken to them over the years (God had spoken about an open door of opportunity that is there for those who feel discouraged about their prophetic words, visions and dreams not coming true).

The prayer time was very powerful and God released a lot of people into inner healing and brought encouraging prophetic words to many people. God is soooooo good!!!

There was some very cool "joy in the house" as the Holy Spirit fell and laughter broke out with some of the people (me included - of course!) New wine is definitely good for jetlag!

I have been asked to come back, so all in all it's a great way to start the tour! THANKS DAD! :-)

I'm teaching at a Christian School tomorrow morning, so off to bed now!


Love you all!

Steve.
