More than a Banner Workshop!

The prophetic worshippers in our area were greatly looking forward to having David Stanfield and his associate, Lynda Turnbull, come to do a banner workshop with us at Healing Waters Ministries in Newport on March 11.

Some of us had met David several years earlier at a conference and were deeply moved by the worship with banners that had taken place there. But we did not anticipate all the wonderful things that happened while he was here; we received training, teaching, impartation, healing and release.

A group of people from the New York area heard about the workshop and came many hundreds of miles to participate. Divine connections were made for the advancement of the Kingdom.

As David explained to us the significance of his half beard, we received a lesson in obedience and the necessity to inquire of the Lord what it is that offends Him.

We learned to use the banners in corporate worship and in corporate and individual ministry, all the while receiving ministry unto ourselves that lead to healing and release.

We live on the coast of North Carolina where there is a strategic port. Many of the Marines deployed to Iraq head out from here. After the workshop, we went to the beach access closest to the port and made prophetic declarations over our port and county as the sun was setting. People on the beach noticed the banners and asked what we were doing. One family asked us to pray for them as well!

At the worship service the next day and at subsequent meetings with other groups there was opportunity to use the banners in powerful worship and ministry. David and Lynda gave us blessings, warnings and encouragement in many areas. Lives have been forever changed.

Before he left, David demonstrated to us how to stake our property and cleanse and dedicate it to the Lord. We are taking the land in our area, hallelujah!

God has significantly blessed us by sending his messenger "for such a time as this," as we are pressing in for revival in our land. We are eager to move forward in His end-time army, an awesome army with banners!
