WARA BETHEL -WHERE THE GLORY OF GOD COMES DOWN !!!


Our dearly beloved spiritual mother and wife of Dr. Rev. Teklemariam Gezahagne, Sis. Mary Gostala, has once again sent us this breathtaking report which she so painstakingly and meticulously compiled. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless her abundantly; for such reports inspire spontaneous praise and worship at the marvellous visitation of the Lord upon so many hungry and often desperate souls who travel many kilometers by foot to claim their blessing.

Praise The Lord Brothers and Sister of the Apostolic Church International Fellowship around the world.
This Year's Warra Bethel Crusade was more than words could express.  We had 27 guests from USA, Europe, Asia and Africa who were so blessed seeing the great work of God with their own eyes.  Some of them who have Web Sites, are going to transmit the programs, so that everyone who was not able to be with us can receive the blessings too.  Thank you so very much for all your sacrifices, supporting this Crusade and also being with us in your prayers.  May God richly bless you all.


Guests from 27 countries came like the Queen of Sheba.

During this Warra Crusade a total of 732 people were baptized in Jesus Name for the remissions of their sins, and About 2000  people were filled with the Holy Ghost, and many received their healing.

The following are some of the Miracles God did on the Warra Bethel Crusade site, and the following people received their healing right on the spot.

* The following eleven blind people received their sight.

11.   Too many people were there to testify what God did for them. I was unable to take his name, but he testified that he spent Birr 18,000.- for his eye medication, but hospitals did not help him, God healed him at Warra this year.

Multitudes upon multitudes as far as the eye can see came to praise Jesus.

* Three deaf people healed and could hear clearly.

3.      Adanetch Woldle-Michael from Markato, both Ears were deaf for three years.

* Two paralyzed people healed instantly, and jumped praising God.
1. Libo Chenbade from Telelato Dalana, Yirga Chefe locality, her right hand was unable to carry anything.

When Bro. Tekle preaches a tremendous message about producing fruit like the palm tree which he carries on his shoulder.

* Two dumb people who never spoke, healed.
1.  Meskele Tisham from Arba Minch Locality was dumb.
         2.  A young girl Hana Deginet was unable to speak since birth for seven years.

   E. Two people with internal problems and doctors could not solve it, healed.
        1.   Amaretch Tesfaye, from Hageremariam had internal problem for seven years.
         2.   Aletu Gunfare from Termessa, Sidama had internal problem since 1998 (2006)

F. A young boy Bezabih Bekele from Sefer-Kela, Sidama was suffering of epilepsy since he was a baby, healed.

G. A woman by the name Aster Thomas, from Dedeye, Hagere-Selam had an issue of blood for two years, instantly healed.

* A young man Bizu Elias from Harbo shesho, Sidama, who was deaf and dumb since birth, God healed him instantly.

The sick and lame were prayed for by men who know to pray fervently:

* One young girl by the name Alkame Dolbo from Bore who was insane healed.

* A young girl Elfinesh Ledamo from Shebedino Localty was devil possessed for  four years, delivered instantly by the power of the Name of Jesus.

* Assefash Gesara a woman who was barren for 13 (thirteen years) vowed to the Lord last year at Warra, and God heard her prayers and she got a baby this year,  and came with thanksgiving.

The story of the revival of Ethiopia is the story of the lives of these men below who faced persecution, loneliness and death often. Today, the Lord has rewarded them exceedingly, abundantly, above all they asked or thought (Eph 3:20)

This choir seems to leap and dance tirelessly for hours energized by the Holy Spirit and lifted the crowds to heavenly places in Christ Jesus.


May God bless you,
Sincerely, Sister Mary

On Saturday a very strong and heart touching message of healing was preached by Brother Ayele quoting from Isaiah 53: verses 1-5, while the Bible College students were carrying posters on their backs and chest with the Scripture "and with his stripes we are healed",and were passing through the congregation; It was at this very moment that God sent the healing power and many people were healed from different kinds of sicknes and demon possessed people were delivered.  Among the many people who received healing, a sister who came with a rented Taxi in a stretcher from Debremarcos and was fully paralyzed for over half a year, was touched by the power of God from where she was laying and stood up instantly.The whole of Sunday, she was sitting in the church listening to the preaching. Our Presbyter of Hosanna Church was down with Malaria and had been to the hospital over six times in Hosanna. He came to Addis Ababa for the Ministers Conference in the same condition.  Because it got worse he was taken to the hospital on Friday morning and stayed in his hotel suffering the whole day, the whole night Friday.  While he was in his bed in the hotel room where he was staying, at 5:30 p.m. sharp, while the healing prayer was going on in the Church, something lifted up from his head and he was instantly healed right where he was and was in the church the whole of Sunday. He was instantaneously healed.  
Many people were healed from different kinds of sicknesses, and many delivered from demons. Praise be to His great Name Jesus.  We know that you were with us in spirit and with your prayers.May God bless you all!!

A. PREACHINGS *  

BY BR.AYELE LAKEW

He spoke about crowning Jesus Christ as Lord.  God has brought the multitudes to Wara to exalt and crown the true heavenly man Jesus as Lord over all. For the true one God people must put Jesus in his rightful place as the true heavenly man that came from heaven. When this happens God will wonderfully pour out his Spirit upon the conference for signs wonders and miracles.
(In a separate conversation with him) He said the Church must pray to make the world thirsty for Jesus. He said the Ethiopian Church went on a 3 day fast so God would make people thirsty. After the fast the tsunami hit there region. People did not one minute to repent. They began getting thirsty for God to help them. In the Spirit we can work faster than the devil by focusing in prayer together across the world for the lost. He said God himself will make people hungry by sending a famine of his Word. Amos 8:11-12, Micah 4, Joel 2, Zeph. 3.
He said while on their fast a man had a vision of their old crusade pulpit area very dark and the new pulpit area  with a lot of light. The man asked the Lord what meanest this. He said the Lord revealed this was the dual nature doctrine pulpit with no light that was once preached their. The new pulpit was the heavenly man Doctrine that is now being preached their. The Ethiopian Church changed their pulpit area three years ago after disfellowshipping the UPCI for the blasphemy of the Jesus whom Paul and the Apostles preached.

     BY BR. AMARE WAQTOLA

He said you cannot speak a fresh word of anointing on yesterdays anointing. Peter stood on the day of Pentecost and had fresh anointing Acts 13:4-12 Everyone who opposes the true Doctrine of Christ will be blinded by the Holy Ghost. Like Paul who cursed the magician. We should stay in Jerusalem until the power comes. It’s the only way false Doctrines are removed. All the religions will be blind if we rebuke them with fresh anointing in Jesus name Luke 8:43. When fresh virtue comes out of us God will heal people. Like the woman who touched Jesus God needs to say for us “who touched me when we grab hold of the hem of his garment. Many people pushed Jesus but only one touched him. Every preacher should seek the power of the Holy Ghost until people get healed. Judges 15:9-12. Like Samson we must retaliate with full force of the Holy Ghost because of the power of God. The ropes of Samson were broken by the power of the Holy Ghost. We too can break the ropes on us by the power of the Holy Ghost.

BY BR. BEKELE FEYE

He preached powerfully on receiving your healing from God. He spoke with great anointing on faith in God. That God right now wants to heal and deliver his people. Nothing separates you from your God with repentance and faith. God is ready to heal you right now if you will reach out and believe. God has overcome your guilt shame and barriers by his blood. There is nothing between you and God if you will only believe.

BY BR. TEREFE FAKU

Job lost everything. His children, his substance and even his wife’s support, but he held onto the integrity of his doctrine and faith. Will you hold onto your integrity if you are the only preacher in America who preaches the Word made flesh Doctrine? Like Daniel in the loins den we must tell Satan we are still alive in the lions den. The king came to Daniel and said “has your God kept you alive Daniel. Has your God kept you alive with your doctrine in the persecution of the message. Daniel declared he was still alive! We too must keep our integrity in the lions den and still preach this wonderful healing message that Jesus came from heaven and not the earth to change our dust nature. If we lose everything are we still willing to preach this message and Doctrine all alone.

BY BR. DOUGH NEWHOUSE

He said if God inhales we would all die. Job34: 14-15. Ps. 33:6, Gen. 2:7, Ps. 66:9., Col. 1:16-18., John 1:1-4,14, John 4:5-14. His living water is our sustaining breath. Jesus said if any man comes unto me I will give him the living waters. The breath of the almighty God gives us life. So it is with Jesus when  he breathes on us we receive the Holy Ghost. This is the rivers of living waters that Jesus spoke about.

BY BR.DON ROGERS

He preached on Behold my Glory. John 17:24 Romans 1:23. Jesus Christ is the hidden mystery of God. The identity of Jesus Christ was revealed through the law, the prophets and the Apostles- Luke 24:49. For Christ came out of the bosom of the Father as the monogenes and begotten Word. He came through the womb of the virgin Mary without separation of wills, natures, or sprits. This is the hidden manna, which came from heaven. John 6:57, John 6:63 John 14:10.

The feelings, the sufferings, the pains and personalities of the Son of God all belong to Yahweh, the Father. He was God counseling all things after his own will while praying in the garden. Is.53:1-14, Eph.1:10.
Man has underestimated the glory of Jesus Christ. We have come to Wara to behold the true glory of the heavenly Jesus-to crown and proclaim this Jesus as the one true God-Ps. 62:4.
John 3:31, John 6:33,51. John 8:23. When we put on Christ in water Baptism we become bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh. The seed of Abraham, the seed of David represents the custodians for Christ the promise seed. For Christ is the Word seed which all men must put on to be saved. This is the Jesus that we behold here at Wara. A pure language, with one consent. Not  a Jesus with three personalities or a split personality. For no human flesh can transfigure on the Mount of transfiguration. Jesus cannot be described as human flesh because the word human in Latin means dirt man.  My Jesus is not a dirt man. Behold the glory of the Father is he who came down from heaven. Let us behold the hidden manna. For those who reject this Jesus are like the man in Math. 22:10-13 who went to the marriage supper of the Lamb without a wedding garment(the flesh of God), and was cast into outer darkness. Any other flesh Zeph. 1:8 calls strange apparel.

Closing: These are just short comments of some of the preaching. It doesn’t represent everything that was said nor all of the speakers.
Br. Stewart from Miami brought a group of people to the crusade. He preached wonderfully as well. He came with a uplifting message of hope and love to the Ethiopians. Br. Stewart contributed both financially and spiritually to the crusade. He was a great asset to the conference.
Lady Jones from Chicago also brought a group of 34 people with her. She too came with hunger and love for the Ethiopian people. Her group also donated $15,000 to the Ethiopian Church. Please pray for both lady Jones and her group as well as Br Stewarts Church as they hunger and thirst for more truth and righteousness.

There were many miracles that took place at the crusade. One notably was a lame man who began to walk and dance all over the platform. We witnessed a very violent demon possessed man screaming and coming towards the platform. As the elders laid hands on him the demons were cats out and he began to cry and speak in tongues to glorify God. It was electrifying to see so many miracles and hungry people.   

B. MIRACLES**

Our Great God has done great things at the Warra Crusade this year.  He poured out His Spirit and many were filled with the  Holy Spirit and 350 people baptized in Jesus Name at Warra.
In general this year's Warra Conference was beyond words could express.

  2004 WARA CRUSADE
The Warra Conference of this year 2004 was amazing and beyond our imagination. The Conference began on the 11th of March, Thursday afternoon and ended on Sunday Evening, the 14th of March. More than half a million people were present in the camp and more people were outside the campground.

What made it more surprising was of the new Altar built in the middle of the ground which made it convenient for the people to hear the Word of God clearly. No one was wondering here and there, they were listening the preaching attentively.

On Friday alone 165 people baptized in Jesus name, and on Saturday 80 young children baptized in Jesus Name. Thousands received the Holy Ghost including the children. When the Name Jesus was uplifted in prayers and worship, the Holy Spirit fall upon all people in a mighty way. We found it so hard to count the number and to know how many received the Holy Ghost.

Many, many people received their healing and many were delivered from the bondage of Satan. Thousands of people were pushing forward to come to the pulpit to give their testimonies, however, as it was going to take the preaching time, we were not able to allow them to come to the pulpit to give their testimonies. It is true that thousands have received their healing and also are filled with the Holy Ghost.

Out of the many miracles God performed, I am just going to mention only few:
1. A woman by the name Sara Yesus from Hageremariam was healed from heart cancer, which she had suffered for many years.
2. Another woman by the name Tadelech Anfare from Arbagona, Sidamo was pralyzed and remained in bed for 3 years. They carried her to Warra with a stretcher, and God healed her instantly, and she began to jump, praising the Lord Jesus.

3. A young boy Negesse Damota from Hagereselam died for 4 hours and the father refused to bury him, and he vowed a vow saying if Jesus of Warra raise my son from the dead, I will step up in the pulput of Warra and praise Him. While he was crying to God, his dead son came back to life.

4. A six-year old kid Woinitu Samuel who was paralyzed since she was three years old, was carried to Warra and God healed her instantly, and she began to jump and was able to walk back home.

5. Bereket Ayele, a young boy who was died for hours and after intensive prayer, God brought him back to life.

6. A young boy Genale Udessa from Robele Debeyo, Bore was seriously sick for a long time. Doctors tried to help him, they could not figure out what his problem was. The witchdoctors could not help him too. The last six months he didn't know himself. He couldn't even control his body. His tongue came out, and was unable to turn it back. The family was disturbed, and vowed a vow to God that they will Praise Him at Warra Conference in front of the congregation if he heals him, and God healed him in a miraculous way. The parents praised and glorified Jesus standing at the Altar in Warra.

7. A woman by the Name Amsale Neka from Dilla, was barren for 10 years. She saw many doctors and they told her that she could not have a baby. Even though she had no hope from the doctors', she vowed a vow to God last year that she would bring a Bible as a gift. Jesus the Almighty God heard her cry and gave her a child. She came to Warra with her baby to praise Jesus and to give her vow.

8. Another woman by the name Meseletch Dakisso, from Dale Gajamo who was also barren for many years, vowed a vow to come with baby to Warra. God fulfilled her vow, and gave her a child. She came to the pulpit carrying her baby, and gave thanks to the Lord.

9. A spectator from the denominational churches was in Warra. As she was hearing the Word the demons in her began to scream, and they brought her to the pulpit for prayer and demons were cast out of her. That was amazing to all the spectators, and to our church members too.

10. A week after Warra, we had conferences in Kembata and Teppi presbytery from March 19-21, 2004 at the same time. There was no rain in both cities for the last three years, and they were suffering of drought.
The residents of both cities believed and were talking to each other that the God of these people (The Apostolic Church saints) will give rain when they held their conferences. God respected their faith and mighty, mighty rain began to fall on Thursday evening after the guest speakers arrived at the respective cities. It rained the whole night.
The saints were afraid that it may continues raining even during the days. The conference coordinator announced to ask God to rain in the nights and to stop in the days. They fervently prayed and God did what they asked. All the three days there was no rain to disturb them in the days, but continued raining heavily in the nights.
The people of those cities admired the God of the Apostles and gave praises. As the result, many, many people came to hear the Word of God standing on their feet the whole day. The whole city was talking good things about us, saying "They command their God to send the rain in the nights, and to stop the rain in the days, and He obeys them." for many years.
11. An old man paralyzed man who was skin and bone and left in bed for many years. His family heard about the miracles that are happening in the Apostolic Conferences and Churches. They carried him by stretcher to the conference.
While he was on the stretcher, prayers were done, and God saw his desire and touched him by His virtue. Instantly, healing and strength inserted into his body, and he began to move by himself, and stood up and began to walk. Since then he is not come back to the stretcher. He left it and walk home on foot.

Finally, let all the glory be to JESUS our Only God.
=============================================================
We hope the wonders to come in WARA 2008 will be matchless! Remain with us in prayer and do as the Holy Ghost moves you to support WARA CRUSADE .    IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
