@ Cairo, Egypt and Jerusalem, Israel
by Pastor Dan Balais
“And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem” Isaiah 2:3
It was a long awaited time, a most prayed for trip of the past two years, an appointment with God in the Jerusalem, the City of the Great King. Ten of the CLSF National Elders, four KE Pastors, one ministry head and a representative of our young people flew to Cairo, Egypt en-route to Israel last November 30 to attend the Open heavens Prophetic Conference held from December 2-9, 2010 in two locations: the exotic Pyramid Resort Hotel in Cairo and the beautiful Ramada Hotel in Jerusalem. The conference was hosted by the Jesus Ministry of Bro. Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj, a mighty prophet of God. The main speakers of the five- day conference were Bro. Sadhu himself, Bro. Vincent Salvakumar both of India and Pastor Steven Shelley of the USA, all mighty prophets of God who operate in a higher spiritual dimension of their ministry to the Lord.
The Philippine delegation headed by Kuya Dan Balais, the CLSF senior pastor were composed of the CLSF National Elders: Ate Tanette Balais, Kuya London and Ate Nona Londonio; Kuya Andrew and Ate Nenet Sombilla; Kuya Peter and Ate Lorna; Kuya Arman Abad, Ate Nelids Kho; the CLSF KE Pastors: Kuya Gani Tolosa, Ate Tina Impreso; Kuya Albert and Ate Luz Carasig; CLSF Media head, Ate Myrna Fetalvero and CLSF Youth representative Ate Kathy Impreso. The delegates from the Intercessors for the Philippines (IFP) were: Sis. Mae De La Cruz, IFP Board member; Pastor Connie Gallego IFP Mindanao Coordinator; Sis. Dina Pasagui, IFP- Congress; Bro. Wyden and Sis. Antonia King of Legend Hotels, including their children Sis. Ginger, and her husband Ronnie Villavicencio, Sis. Cheney King and Jerobi King. There were a couple other Filipino delegates who directly registered in Israel. All in all, there were 34 Filipino delegates, a huge group considering the huge expense of some US$3,500 each! The Lord has honoured the faith of His people! Many miracles happened to everyone of the delegate! The Lord is good and it was His perfect will for us to go to Jerusalem and represent our nation before some 29 countries gathered in that great conference. It was a solemn experience to see the Philippine flag hanged on the wall the ballroom among the other flags of the 28 other nations of the more than 600 delegates! The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever!
The trip was worth it all! It was very strategic and destiny defining conference as Bro. Sadhu and his team of prophets declared revelations after revelations that are vitally necessary for the end time events and the end time harvest! In those two locations of the conference in Cairo and Jerusalem, mysteries after mysteries regarding the Kingdom of God were declared with such powerful anointing. Most importantly, there were waves upon waves of impartation of the anointing to take us to a new level of spiritual operation and ministry. The Lord opened the eyes of our understanding to be able to see in the spiritual realm. It was an experience of a lifetime; a mission worth every cent spent. Every delegate had his or her spiritual encounter with the Lord. As a bonus, everyone was able to see and experience many biblical places from Egypt and most especially in Israel, God’s covenant land and people. It opened up a great depth and dimension in understanding the redemptive plan of God through the nation and people of Israel!
Throughout the land of Israel, which was also referred to in the Bible as Zion, we have proclaimed the Jubilee of the Philippines and connected her to the nation of Israel (Psalm 110:1-3; Psalm 122: 1-9). It was indeed an open heaven in Israel, a mission trip we can’t afford to miss!
