Pastor Atkins and Minister Jackson had the tremendous spiritual opportunity to visit the Holy Land Israel. To experience other cultures, to actually be in the present of Jewish, Greek, Roman and Palestine Christians' worship, to view the Palestine life in the Old Jericho area, to walk through the Garden of Gethsemane. What a heart opening and mind enlarging experience to actually walk upon the land that Jesus traveled. At the Wailing Wall, we prayed, left prayer notes at the Wall where so many before us prayed.
On September 6, 2008 in the USA, months prior to our December 2008 departure to Israel, Pastor Dan King (from another church) at the unction of the Holy Spirit gave Matt 21:1-11 to Min. Jackson. Pastor King was unaware of Min Jackson's planned trip to Israel. It is on the Mt of Olives that she is asked by our tour guide Saad to read the very same scripture...
On the Sea of Galilee, Pastor Atkins reads the Word when Saad says to her "do more"; her response is read more? Saad says preach! In the shadow of Jesus, Pastor Atkins preached seek ye first the Kingdom of God; still the busyness in our lives so we can hear God. As she preached, her words were being interpreted, for there were other nationalities on board the boat in the Sea of Galilee. Glory halleluiah to King Jesus for the experience!

Life Enriching Announcement
Life enriching announcement for the children, youth and young people; older people feel free to grab hold of the children's authoritative power source. The word of God and authority from God for his children.
Word of knowledge for GHOPE children (Matt 18:10), friends, and family:
Children you are a very very important part of God's house. He made you so special he noted your importance for all humanity who cares to read it in His book. He wrote in history your authority, your connections to him. Your angels do always behold the face of God...Let us read it in: Matt 18:10. It reads: "Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."
I ask you to pray because you stand with mighty authority. When challenges or troubles come your way (in the form of peer pressure, mind pressure or school subject pressure) know that you have access granted to you by God himself. You have access. Help me wake up the adults...pray for them to realize that they have access to act upon the gifts and talents God has birthed in them by his stripes.
Can you imagine God doing such a strange thing as having children minister to adults the word from God. Halleluiah, Halleluiah! Glory halleluiah!!
