Supernatural Lost and Found

It was in the evening of Nov. 4th that i received a phone call from Jojo, one of our members here in Destiny TO. He said he lost his wallet in the subway. I remembered Ptr. Hiram Pangilinan's testimonies (in Facebook) regarding calling forth missing things to surface. We prayed over the phone, we called forth the missing wallet to surface and for angels to find it for him.

Fast forward more than a month later, around the week ending Dec. 8th, when Jojo called me that his wallet was returned with only the cash missing, $90+ only. Everything else including IDs and credit cards are all intact.

Here's the weird part, the wallet was returned at 4am in the morning by two very tall and hulking police officers, one white and one black. They knocked vigorously on their door and asked to be let in (only Jojo woke up in spite of everyone in the household being light sleepers). The police officers returned the wallet to him, told him to contact the police the next time he loses his wallet and left. Please note that they live in a condo apartment and cannot be easily let in without a warrant or someone from inside (security or building manager) opening it for them.

I have asked around here in Toronto and so far this is NOT normal police behavior or protocol. Think what you may about the two police officers but even if they are real police officers, the timing and manner of delivery is still something out of the ordinary. I call this SUPERNATURAL lost and found.



Fig. 1. Jojo's once lost now found wallet. 
----

I few hours ago, I was in the front row seats again of this anointing to call forth missing things to surface. 

Together with my two kids, we dropped off Rona and her daughter at the mall for some Boxing Week shopping. We decided to hang out at the mall for a while to see if we can find some sale items ourselves. I took Charis with me and Jarlene stayed with Rona and Ruhi, Rona's four year old daughter. 

After I scored on my biggest sale find (a $40 Lagostina skillet for just $10!), I received a phone call from Jarlene, my daughter. I met up with the rest of the party and found out Rona has lost her purse- wallet, credit cards, cell phone, some cash and permanent resident card included. Rona left the kids with me but before she went on her purse-searching frenzy, we prayed for the anointing for missing things to surface and for angels to find it for us.

We decided to retrace their steps with the kids help. We made several phone calls to her cell phone to no avail. Then out of nowhere, a black lady approached us and said someone has been looking for the owner of a missing purse around half an hour ago. This gave us hope to go on. Rona then went to the department store security.

I prayed once more with the three kids in agreement. Called the number one more time and finally someone answered at the missing cell phone. It was Scarborough Town Centre Mall Security Officer No. 026. He said someone dropped off the missing bag a few minutes ago. With three kids in tow, I went to the mall security, had Rona paged two times and after a couple more minutes, Rona was reunited with her bag, her brand new coach wallet, her identity and credit cards and her cash.

The lady who found the purse left a contact number but cannot be reached since 2pm up to press time (10pm Dec. 30th, 2013). 

----

Kind of remind me about Elisha when the axe head that fell into the water (2 Kings 6:4-7) and miraculously recovered. And even the character of God displayed on the parable of the lost coin (Luke 5:8-10). I guess it's my Father's Business to express His love and character by making lost things to surface.

Truly, 2014 is the year of declaring and manifesting the things that were declared!

I would be remiss if I will not pray for you dear reader for missing things to surface. So with faith, please repeat the prayer below:


Lord, in the name of Jesus and in alignment to your character of finding missing and lost things and souls, I call forth the missing item to resurface right now. I tap into the anointing of calling forth missing things to reappear and resurface right now. We ask that you send your angels to look for this thing (be very specific). We thank you Lord and surrender all our earthly possessions to you. In Jesus name we pray, Amen!


Let me know if you too had a missing thing resurface because of these testimonies.

He Adds Faith,

Josh

How to Pray: As Modeled By Jesus in the Lord's Prayer

This is an excerpt from my guest-hosting stint at At The Cross Live- a Canadian-based live phone-in show ministering to the hurting, lonely and searching folks of Canada and USA(via satellite)- last Nov. 16th 1am EST.

It was only after the show that I have realized not only was this my debut as a the one sharing the word in ATCL but this was my first ever live on-air preaching on TV! During my previous guest appearances, I relish the fallacy that i was only reaching out to 20,000 people- not true at all! That night of Nov. 16th I knew i was reaching out to hundred or hundreds of thousands (or even millions- i really do not know). All I can say is, thank you Heavenly Daddy- we rocked the skies over North America that night!

He adds hope,

Joseph

I Am Not a Bad Girl, I'M PRETTY

There is a lesson to be learned in this playground shoving match between my daughter Charis and an older girl.
Other girl: You are a bad girl!
Charis: I am not a bad girl, I'M PRETTY!
I do not know how the fight started except for the kids' argument on who has there first. I even do not know who really won since I wasn't there. These were eye witness account and the testimonial of Charis herself how she won the day and our hearts...awww.

Disclaimer: We do not condone bullying or fighting with other kids. As we have taught our girls, that is not the princess way of doing things.

I must admit though that if I am four years old right now, most probably I would have come home running to my mommy when confronted by mean words. It would probably have stuck in my mind that the other girl probably might be right. The label might have stuck.


What labels have you defined yourself lately?

Sometimes it takes the belief of a child to light the way.

How many of us allow the labels thrown at us by others and by ourselves to define us, demean us and eventually limit us. Maybe your label is far worse than "bad girl". Maybe it's worthless, good for nothing, failure, ugly, weak, loser among others.

But not my little princess Charis. 

When confronted with a mean label, her mind was ready to respond using words that were originally not her own.

Who do you think first told her she's pretty!

Yup that would be her daddy and mommy.

We have this simple five-fold prayer of blessing for our girls that we pronounce on them every time we get a chance:
Christ-likeness, wisdom, favour, good health, pretty, pretty wow factor!
Now back to you and me, how do we keep these mean labels from defining and even ruining us? By going back to the words of our Heavenly Daddy.

Let His words be like a cascading waters washing off those negative and hurtful labels once and for all!

A more appropriate prose right now is the Father's Love Letter penned by Barry Adams, a fellow-Canadian from St. Catherines, ON after the Toronto Blessing hit him back in mid 90s.

The Father's Blessing


Your father’s blessings are greater 
than the blessings of the ancient mountains, 
than the bounty of the age-old hills. 
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, 
on the brow of the prince among his brothers. Genesis 49:26


What was true for Joseph the Dreamer is also true for us today. I will not mince words further but just share a heartfelt prayer of blessing given by my spiritual father since my university years and my mentor, Paul Yadao.


 


The Father’s Blessing
- By Paul Yadao

My precious son, My adorable daughter. You are My beloved child. I am so pleased with you for you are Mine and I am yours. You are My masterpiece. You are my priceless treasure. My love for you is pure, unchanging and eternal. I love you not for what you can do for Me, I love you because of who you are- You are My child and you are Mine.

I have known you even before time began. I have chosen you before creation. I know every inch of you for I have formed you in your mother’s womb. I delight in you. I celebrate you. I like everything about you. You are never an accident. You are not a mistake. You are My dream fulfilled. I am acquainted in all of yours ways for I am always with you and I will always be for you. I know when you rise up and when you lie down. I know your deepest thoughts, longings and desires for I surround your with My Presence and My love every moment of your life. Whenever I gaze at your face My heart rises with joy and adoration. Oh, you are so beautiful, you are so lovely for you are My child and you are Mine.

I have great dreams for you more than you can ever ask or imagine. I know My plans for you and I am committed to see all of them come to pass. I have created you for victory, for greatness and for My glory. I have prepared everything for you to succeed. My greatest joy is to see you shine with My goodness and My glory. I am inviting you to dream My dreams for you. Come My child, together let us transform this world with My Love flowing in and through you.

In Jesus Christ My Begotten Son, you are Royalty. I see the prince in you. I see the princess in you. You have My DNA. I am your Father-King. You have full access to My Kingdom. I have made you co-heirs with My Son. Everything that is Mine is His and all that is His is yours. I have placed in you the Spirit of My Son that in Him you may cry out ‘Abba, Father!’ And I will always hear you and be with you. I will never leave you nor forsake. For I am your Father and you are My beloved child.

Just I have bestowed on Jesus the Father’s Blessing when He was being baptized, I now declare over you before the heavenly hosts and before all of My creation, “You are My beloved son, you are My beloved daughter. I love you and I am well pleased with you. You are Mine and I am forever yours. In My blessing is My Favor, My Affirmation, My Love, My Provision, My Approval, My Protection, and My Grace for you to be what I have called you to be and to do. As I sent Jesus to this world with My full blessing and support, I now commission you to live in fullness, in abundance, and in My extravagant Love. I release you to be a blessing to all, to serve with passion, to love without condition and to transform this world with My glory.
