Saturday morning was the Somhlolo Festival of Praise annual prayer breakfast that Lisa,
Chad, Erin, Matt and I
attended; it was powerful. The current
King's great grandfather King Somhlolo had a dream of men with white faces coming
to him with a book in one hand and gold coins in the other; he had to eat one or
the other, and to make a long dream short, he ate the book…
The next day, after
the dream, white missionaries showed up at his palace and prophetically told him
the dream and that the book he ate was the Word of Life; Swaziland became a
Christian nation on the spot. This prayer breakfast is dedicated to that
sequence and is celebrated every year.
Lisa was taken up to the King's second
wife to be introduced. She was the only one out of about 200 attendees (men are not
allowed to approach the queens). She asked Lisa what we were doing here, was
blown away by her answer, and wants to help! When this Queen prayed from the mic, it was
electric: she called down heaven, prayed against witchcraft, it was mind
blowing!
We met the Christian
parliament members, the key Swazi pastors, and some royalty; the most powerful time was
when Rev. Dr. June Mckinney had a prophecy for
Swaziland and
Africa, that the "answer has
been delayed, but is coming."
She said, "Isn't it ironic that the devil has
cursed us with a blood disease called HIV/AIDS and that the only thing that
gives life is the blood of Jesus?! The Blood of Jesus will bring healing and
revival to Swaziland, and it is coming this
year!" You could have heard a pin drop after her 20-minute prophecy…
I rushed to my radio
program and the Spirit of the sovereign Lord was resting on me. He showed up on
the airwaves, and over 2 ½ million people heard the prophetic word from my lips.
It was a powerful day here in Africa!
