SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT FOR CRUSADES,
REVIVALS, HEALING AND COUNSELING
INVITATION: PLEASE
READ THIS INFORMED CONSENT FORM AND FILL
THE
INVITATION FORM BELOW AND WE WILL PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER YOUR
INVITATION.
We thank you for your interest in inviting us to minister in your church/area/country. We believe you have prayed through this decision and you are being led by The Holy Spirit in this direction. It is our policy that you read our ministerial ethics before you fill the invitation form below. We deem your request very important to us because eternal lives of people are at stake; we will therefore take some time to fast and pray and get in touch with you as soon as The Master gives us the go ahead.
AN
OVERVIEW OF OUR
MINISTERIAL ETHICS
These are not mandatory
stipulations for invitations. We are very flexible with whatever will be
necessary and convenient for your church/ministry.
Some of these items may
not even apply to your church/ ministry.
A) FROM THE
HOST CHURCH/MINISTRY
Personal invitation on
official letter head in case we need to apply for visa for the country
The purpose of the meeting
The type of meeting; theme
of conference, topic, etc…
We request that the host
clarify exactly what he expects of us
How the meeting will be
run: outline of your expectation of us,
protocols, etc…
Number of people expected
Number of days, number of
sessions per day, etc…
LOGISTICS
OFFERINGS/ FEES/ CHARGES: We do not charge for our meetings. Neither do we
demand a certain sum of money as a precondition for ministry. God forbid. We
believe The Gospel must be preached free of charge, “Freely you have received
freely give” (Mt 10:8). Nor do we
require a minimum number of attendees for the meetings; the 1 sheep is as
important to us as the 99
(Luke 15:1-7).
We do not take offerings
for ourselves. Financial gain is not our motive for ministry; we live only by faith. The Lord
himself is the only inheritance of the Levites, He is our provider. We only
receive love offerings as the Holy Spirit lays it on the heart of the leadership. The offerings help us to
travel around the world to spread The Gospel. We leave this decision to the
leaders of the church as they are directed by The Lord. All donations must be
made to
ACCOMODATIONS AND MEALS: We request that you please accommodate us in a
reasonable, decent, quiet (if possible) hotel in your area in a non smoking room.
From experience we do not stay in people’s homes. Please we request this for
the purpose of having a quiet environment area to engage in intense prayers for
the meetings. This is not for comfort, not at all; we request this to have
alone time to yell at the devil if need be, pray and worship aloud through the
night and not feel that we are disturbing our host.
We do not watch TV so we
please request that if there is one in the room they remove it for us.
If this is a place where such accommodations cannot be provided please do not
let this prevent you from inviting us; we understand. Just let us know and we
will make adjustment for that. We simply request that we are given the same
privacy to commune with The Father.
2 meals a day will be okay
provided we are not fasting.
In some overseas countries
where such accommodations cannot be provided, we do perfectly understand and we
are ever ready to stay wherever you put us (even if that means sleeping on the
floor and eating whatever food you provide for us). We just want to serve Our
Lord by serving you. Please do not let this prevent you from inviting us.
Please do not give out the
name or the phone number of the place we are staying. We request that we are
given the maximum privacy for prayer and ministry unto The Lord.
TRANSPORTATION: We request that you pay for our transportation (plane tickets, taxi,
rental car, etc…) and provide us with transportation to and from the airport,
hotel, meetings, etc… If transportation is provided by a member of the church
we require that it be a member of the same sex. The same goes with whoever you
appoint to attend to our needs if you choose to do that.
In some overseas countries where this could be difficult for the saints, please
once again do not let this prevent you from inviting us. We will use our own
money for transportation to come and serve you, assuming we have the money.
MINISTRY
THE MESSAGE WE ARE CALLED TO PREACH AND MINISTRY
APPROACH/STYLE
We preach the
uncompromising message of repentance, hope, healing, compassion and love
resulting in brokenness, healing, salvation, revival, deliverance and
restoration. We preach the whole counsel of God; balanced sound doctrine with
power and authority.
Brother Godfried is not an
eloquent preacher who preaches with the usual sermon delivery approach. He is
unique in style. He is a messenger who carries a message and delivers it the
way The Father wants it to be delivered.
He begs that he is just
introduced to the pulpit in a very simple manner (with no flamboyancy, clap
offering, etc…to him all of that belongs to ONLY his Master the Lord Jesus
Christ). When such things are done for the servant it takes away from
The
Glory of The Master and the import of the ministry. Please understand that this is not self
exaltation, or false humility, it is something that he is not used to. He is
just a vessel and His Master must get all the attention and adulation.
Our ministry is absolutely
dependent on The Holy Spirit. We totally yield to Him and let Him take absolute
control of the meetings (please we are not talking about emotionalism,
sensationalism, hype or some bizarre manifestation, God forbid). Let me
explain; there are times that The Manifest Presence of The Shekinah Glory is so
strong that we can hardly stand. When He shows up like that we step aside and
we let He, Himself take charge and minister to His
precious children. There is at times a holy and awesome hush ness in the
atmosphere. We have found out from experience some people feel uncomfortable
with the awesome appearance of The Glory of God and therefore try to shut the
meeting down when they see people weeping in repentance and healing. Please take note that this will grieve The
Holy Spirit and the people will not be blessed. The person who does that will
have to answer before God. Our meetings are characterized by the holy
reverential fear of God.
Brother Godfried begs you
to understand that before and after meetings he prefers to be alone to maintain
uninterrupted communion with God. He is very sociable but after the service his
body gets so tired and weak because of the weight of The Glory, he therefore
has to retire immediately to be alone with his Friend. He has to be with His
Master. The servant has to be with His Master in order to be the servant of
We beg of you that people
refrain from touching him, approaching him for personal words and/or ministry
or offering to pray for him by laying hands on him (he prefers that prayer is
offered in their own privacy). This takes away the power (Jesus with the woman
with the issue of blood and Jesus said power went out from Him. Matt
There at times The Holy
Spirit may change the message or He may not allow us to preach but we yield the
meeting to Him and let Him deal with people’s hearts in love in repentant tears
and healing.
We follow the agenda for
the meeting but when the Holy Spirit breaks in the meeting could be radically
changed and we humble ourselves and let Him lead. We prepare very hard for the
meetings in studying, intense prayer and fasting but The Master can step in and
change it any way He wants. We just yield to The Master to have His own way.
Trained ushers/security guards: to help when
people are receiving ministry and also to keep order in the meetings. We have
observed that the devil comes to church too, sometimes he sends religious
spirits who would make a lot of noise with incessant “Amen amen!”
or sometimes children crying incessantly.
There are also people who disrupt the meetings with bizarre
manifestations to get the attention on them instead of the Holy Spirit and it
prevents the rest from hearing the message and being blessed. I hope you please
help with all this to help the meeting to run smoothly in decency and order.
INTERPRETER: Should we need an interpreter, we please beg of you to give us a
believer who is full of faith and the Holy Spirit, enthusiastic and whose life
is holy and Christ centered. There has to be an agreement of spirit between the
minister and the interpreter. The interpreter more or less is a co preacher.
TIME FACTOR: We plead that the Holy Spirit is given adequate time to minister.
Our ministry sometimes takes 3 hours or more: preaching of the Word, prayer and
ministry to the people. We pray that you make accommodations for this in order
to wait on The Lord to receive the maximum blessing. We have observed that in
some places there are so many things that take away the preaching and ministry
time.
Please if your church is a
place that has time constraints we will accommodate that but you also may have
to make some adjustments if you desire us to come there. God gave us 24 hours
in 7 days and we believe He deserves more than an hour to be waited upon. With
the type of ministry we do it is hard to press The Holy Spirit, the Author of
Time, into a time restraint.
Also we do not minister to
any church member without the leadership being present.
We do not minister to
members of the opposite sex alone.
We plead with the leaders
not to influence what The Holy Spirit would do. He has the plan and we follow.
Members should invite as
many unsaved people as they can. Pray for their salvation before and during the
meeting as the altar call is given.
We plead that there are no
hidden agendas or surprises but we do all with openness of heart, not seeking
numerical nor financial growth or fame but laboring together in love to build
The Kingdom of God. Giving Him all the glory and thanks for whatever happens.
PRAYER AND FASTING: Above
all the requests that we make this is the most important for the meetings.
SCRIPTURES: ISAIAH CH. 58, DANIEL CH. 9,
ESTHER CH. 3, JONAH CH. 3, NEHEMIAH CH 1
We are a ministry of
prayer and fasting. This is our lifestyle.
We try to fast for 3 days before each meeting to yield ourselves
completely to The Master. We want The Master to fill us with the fullness of
His power so that His children will receive the fullness of His blessing.
We therefore plead with you and your congregation, especially the leadership,
to join us in this fast before the meetings. It could be a 40 day, 30 day, 21 day, 14 day, 7 day or at least a 3 day fast as The Holy
Spirit leads you.
If this is not a practice
in your church believe me your church will never be the same after this.
Pray and bind the main
principality, “the strong man”, and cast it out of the area. Jesus says in
Matthew 12:28-30
28But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the
29"Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house and
carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can
rob his house.
30"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not
gather with me scatters.
Also refer to Jesus’ encounter with the
demoniac of the Gerasenes in Mark 5
Ask the Holy Spirit to
reveal the principality in the area to you.
Sometimes the natural
reveal the spiritual. You can just tell by the way people think, behave, dress,
the predominant social vices, religious practices , the reoccurring news
headlines, billboards, economic status of the people, mortality rate, the
history of the place, predominant cause of sicknesses and deaths and many
others.
This is the time to break
strongholds in people’s lives.
This is the time to break
the power of principalities in the area and clear the atmosphere for The Gospel
and call in the lost.
This is the time for people to search their
hearts in repentance before God.
Repentance from secret
sins, for not being a good watchman of prayer and fasting for the nation,
region, city, leaders, church, family and our own souls. Sins
of our ancestors, racial, denominational and doctrinal prejudices.
Settling for status quo Christianity, having church as usual, relying on modern
worldly methods instead of The Holy Spirits power. Grieving
The Holy Spirit by not allowing Him to take full control of our church and
personal lives. And whatever the Holy Spirit would convict us of. We beg
of you that we come before the Lord in humility to repent in order to be able
to receive the fullness of all that comes from His Presence. Achan’s sins caused
This is the time for
people to build their faith to come and receive His fullness and bless Him.
This is the time to pray
for the salvation of the lost and healing for the people.
This is the time to cry
out for the Power and Glory of God to come and tabernacle in the community.
This is the time to cry
out to God for revival in your church, town, region, state and nation.
Please invite other denominations and pastors to participate in this event.
This is the time to pray
for the Spirit of repentance, revival, salvation and healing to come and rest
in your church and area permanently.
Please pray for protection
for the minister and his wife and family before and after the meetings. The
enemy usually tries to attack during these times because it knows the great
damage that is done to its kingdom and the redemption of souls from its bondage
that occurs during the meetings.
Have some people pray for us
in private as the meetings are going on. These could be intercessors who sit in
the meeting to pray silently.
Be prepared for attacks,
disruptions before and after the meeting. The corporate fasting and prayer help
to ward these off.
Please let us know when
you will start the prayer and fasting meetings so that we can join you here.
Please send us the names
of any known principalities with a map of your city/area and the picture
of the place of meeting if you can. (This is very important so that we can
use it as a point of contact for prayer with you).
We pray that The Lord will
visit you as you set this time aside to seek His face. We may not even have to
come because He himself has already come to do what no man can do.
AFTER THE MEETING
Please send us
master copies of all tapes.
We would like to make a suggestion… that the prayer and fasting continue to be
a regular practice in the church if it is not the habit; individually and
corporately. The devil knows time is closing in on him, he has therefore
released some strong wicked arch demons to war; demons of (sexual perversion,
death and hell, incurable sicknesses, oppression and depression, bondage, etc).
These can be dethroned only with faithful prayer and fasting (Mk9). Also the
watchmen must continue to keep the gate shut lest the enemy returns with much
vengeance. Jesus warns us from
Matthew 12:43
43"When an evil[6] spirit comes out of a man, it goes
through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44Then it
says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house
unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45Then it goes and takes
with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live
there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how
it will be with this wicked generation."
The Fire will still be burning
after the meeting. Please keep it burning; Aaron was warned by God
The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must
not go out. Every
morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the
fat of the fellowship offerings
on it.
Also in
1 Chronicles 16
10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts
of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
Please we suggest that you have well
trained counselors and prepared follow up and discipleship programs.
Pray that the Holy Spirit
will continue to water the Word in people’s hearts to bear Christ-like fruits.
Please continue to pray for the minister, his wife and family to ward off any
counter attacks of the enemy.
Also be aware that the
enemy and the flesh of people are going to try to rise up to fight back since
its kingdom has been terrorized. Please be aware to rise up and put it in its
place.
The Holy Spirit will
continue to reveal sin in the congregation. Please seek God’s wisdom in dealing
with this.
We are always ready to
come back to rekindle the Fire.
If you have any questions,
suggestions, or proposals or need clarifications please do not hesitate to get
in touch with us.
If the Spirit of God leads
you to invite us please prayerfully consider the above suggestions and write to
us that you have read and agree to co-labor with us by helping in the above
mentioned ways to prepare for the Fire of God to fall in your area.
