Dear Warriors,
Many of you know that a few weeks ago we were praying for my dearest friend,
Michael Babin, who is a bishop and pastor of a church in Oceanside, CA. I saw with my own
eyes how a suffocating spirit of divination attacked him. His own son had to carry him into
the hospital. For those of you that don’t know him, Michael is almost seven feet tall, and
must weigh close to 280 pounds. A few weeks ago, he suffered from three heart attacks.
His heart was working at 10% when he had them and the last one happened when he
was trying to get into the emergency room. He turned to his son and said, “I don’t think
I am going to make it; goodbye.” I got the call while I was traveling home from our event
in Nashville.

While I was ministering that weekend in Nashville, I started having heart pain, chest
pain, and shortness of breath. I didn’t worry about it too much because I don’t have a
history of that kind of problem. I have a very healthy heart, and in fact, I had just been
for my physical checkup where they said my heart and everything else was in incredible
condition. But it kept on the whole day while I was in Nashville, even on the stage. That
following Monday, when we were flying back from Nashville and while on a stop in Dallas,
I discovered that my friend had been rushed to the hospital. He had in fact died and they
had resuscitated him three times. He was then put on ice and ended up in a coma. The
prediction from the doctors at that time was that he wouldn’t make it. As you know, the
prognosis is never positive from the doctors because they’ve seen so many cases. So this
negative prognosis was surrounding the entire family and telling them that even if he did
come back, he would not be able to walk. They said he had probably had a few strokes and
he was most likely brain dead.

While they were telling me this, I said, “The best thing that I can do is ask the Lord to
show me what the outcome will be.” He DOES provide information from the future, so
that we can pray effectively. I thought about the few prophecies that Michael had received
through me and I began to use these to wage a GOOD WARFARE. 1 Timothy 1:18
says, “This charge I commit unto you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies
which were given to you, that you by them might wage a good warfare.” Michael

the pair of Black Heart Finches was taking turns sitting After hours of research, I found that this is common
behavior for Gouldian Finches, and a lot of breeders experience the same problem. One
theory is that the parents who are too young to be breeding will push the babies from
the nest because they are shocked when the egg hatches. The sudden emergence
of a baby disturbs the comfortable environment they have created and became
accustomed to, causing them to panic and push it from the nest.

Later that day, my daughter, Jacquelyn, found a second baby on the bottom
of the cage. As I fed them and worked to save them, I began to examine them.
Being that I actually had a chance to see them up close, I noticed how detailed their
miniature bodies were. They looked exactly like the grown birds, minus the feathers,
but the features were undeniable, not a single cell out of place.

I fed them successfully for three days, waking up every two hours all through the night. Kim thought I was crazy,
but I couldn’t abandon the little birds. I was their only hope of survival. I don’t know why, but in the afternoon on the
third day both babies died, and I had done my best to keep them alive. I was extremely upset that I couldn’t save them,
and as I thought more about what had happened, I remembered what Jesus said about the sparrow:

Matthew 10: 29-31 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground
apart from the will of your Father. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be
afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

As I grieved for the lives I couldn’t save, I thought of how God even knows the number of hairs on our heads…
of course He does! He created all life, and knows and understands everything that happens in His creation. He is not
an unreachable, separate entity, waiting to judge us; He dwells among us and knows every detail of our lives. In that
moment, I was humbled and overwhelmed with His love, and grateful for the life that He has given all of us. Although
I was unable to save the baby birds, I learned a deep and precious lesson from their brief existence that will stay with
me forever, making their lives all the more important. If God cares so much about the smallest and most helpless of
His creation, think of how much He cares about even the smallest details in our lives. When we are overcome with the
really hard times along life’s journey, surely He is there with us, knowing and understanding; we need only to talk to
Him and ask for His help. I pray that you will be encouraged by this, and always remember how much God loves you.

Maybe you’ve experienced loss in your life and have felt alone. Kim lost his brother when he was 38 years of age,
and he lost his father when he was traveling and ministering in the USA. It was devastating for him. I observed how
he dealt with this trauma and it was so refreshing. He made me understand that death is an extension of life and he
always handled it with tears and joy. Kim is not a bird lover and acts like he’s totally disinterested, but every now and
then I’ll catch him cooing and making cute noises at the birds. So we all laugh about this because he’s got a soft spot
for birds, but for some strange reason doesn’t want anyone to know…
