Thanks Magsdee, Jason,


God is good. The Holy Spirit is wonderful. He will move anywhere, anytime people are hungry, expectant and willing to yield to Him. And He is moving in Australia through you guys right now! Write the next chapter of the Book of the Acts of the Holy Ghost. Its the unfinished book, waiting for men and women who will yield to Him. Bless you. Help us yield more to you Lord!

Thanks Anthony,


That’s cool. It’s a good start. Toshima Ward is best known for Ikebukuro, a major area of Tokyo many foreigners pass through or visit. It has a population of about 250,000 and is governed by 36 Ward assembly members. Ishikawa-san has been elected as one of these Ward assembly members.


Toshima/Ikebukuro does not have a strong gay area, except a few places, but maybe that will change. Most LGBT in Toshima Ward would socialize in Nichome in neighbouring Shinjuku Ward, a couple of stations away.


I hope more young LGBT people in Tokyo start to come out and run for office. Many politicians start out in local government and then progress up. Of course there are closeted gay/bi Japanese politicians, but let’s believe God for more to come out and help change attitudes.

And yes, we do get around, don’t we?


The meeting in Wellington on April 11 was a real breakthrough. This was the church I used to attend back in 1999/2001. I came out to the Senior Pastor after connecting with Freedom2b[e] in 2008, and then came out to the Assistant Pastor last year. They both picked me up from the airport and were a real blessing to me. We then went back to their place and I invited a young straight couple my age around in the afternoon and ministered prophetically to them. While I was speaking over them the power of God suddenly hit them powerfully. The guy fell out and his wife burst into tears. The pastors were visibly moved by the power of God they could feel in the room and asked me to share at their night meeting and minister prophetically to all their people. Two young gay guys who attend the church and know I’m out came to the meeting and I could tell it blessed them to see I had the Pastor’s blessing to minister. It was awesome. It was like the Holy Ghost was backing me up and deliberately showing them He does not discriminate against LGBT.


After everyone had gone home the Assistant Pastor asked me for forgiveness for his attitudes toward LGBT people and toward me personally after I came out to him. It was very moving and showed me just how far people can progress along the “continuum” of acceptance if they are sensitive and respectful of the Holy Spirit and we just keep believing in them, loving them, forgiving them and nudging them along the path.


Prophet Jeremy Lopez gave me the following prophecy on August 13 2010 and I believe God is saying these words right now to every LGBT person hooked up with the Holy Ghost: “For God says this is your time and your season, where I am ripping out the rivers inside of your belly. And God says I’m undamming everything that has been there, that has been stopped up. For God says even your mentors and your leaders, you thought for a long time would not even see you the way that you used to be. But God says this is a time and a season when even your mentors and your leaders will turn around one day and say “We’re sorry, we never understood, we never comprehended”. But God says get ready for leadership in you is about to call out to the leadership in them and they’re gonna come back and ask you for forgiveness. For God says I am anointing you and I’m appointing you for such a time as this. So get ready to step into the new dawning of a new day, cause you’re gonna affect people.”


Its a new day! 0:)
