Kingdom of Heaven in 2007…
January 23rd, 2007 | Michael Pink
A month ago, I told you that I expected to see more of the Kingdom of Heaven in 2007. Well, we began the year off working for an awesome company who traveled to Florida for sales training. They were all believers, but God moved so powerfully during the 3 days of training that when it was over Friday at 5:00, no one left. In fact, we ordered dinner to the meeting room and stayed until midnight where God brought freedom and deliverance and great liberty. It was amazing!
Then, we were off to a destination outside the States to train a group of about 45 insurance sales reps. According to the president, the company consisted of about 1/3 believers. He was happy to let me give a prayer of invitation at the end of the meeting. The day of training was mighty. Someone opened up in prayer and it felt like Heaven just filled the room! At the end of the day, I talked about God’s Spirit working on the inside and invited folks to experience that. The whole team thronged the front of the room. Everyone present waited for prayer, some up to an hour or more. Even the cameraman asked for prayer! There was repentance, renewal and great joy expressed through weeping and laughter. It was truly awesome. The president just sat on the front row and wept! This wasn’t business as usual!
A few days later, we were in yet another country and had a similar experience with about 20 of the 30 insurance reps present that day seeking prayer and meeting with God. It was really awe-inspiring!
Then we went to another country and my wife was attacked with a sudden physical ailment. Though we were in the tropics, she began shaking uncontrollably with teeth chattering and she felt like she was freezing. Then she heated up with a fever that was 104° if it was anything. It was scary. I emailed home for prayer support from our church, which was immediate. By morning, the fever was gone and other than exhaustion, she was fully recovered.
The next day, we struck back and led a wayward soul (our driver) back to the Father. It was glorious! In addition to what I learned in the rainforest while on some free time, I also learned that we really need prayer covering. I know many of you do pray for us and we will be sure to let you know in advance when we are launching out!
When we got home, weary and tired, I learned that I had been scheduled to speak at the upcoming Peter Lowe’s “Get Motivated” seminars in Fresno and San Bernardino in March. I am telling you that 2007 is going to be a breakthrough year and I look forward to walking it out with all of you!

Praise God for his goodness, and thank you for stepping out in faith to serve our Lord. You have already been richly rewarded by being his servant and being able to see prodigals come back to the Father. May he continue to meet every need of yours through his love.

Wow!! God is amazing. It’s humbling what he can do through a willing and submitted vessel.
Michael, I agree with you that you need a prayer covering. I would suggest that you develop a team of seasoned intercessors that you can trust many of the intimate details of the trips with as well as give all of us a general schedule with general prayer requests.
It sounds like you have entered a new realm of ministry and this will require new strategies on your part and an even deeper reliance upon God for guidence, strength and protection.
But please keep in mind that not all who read this blog have your best interest or the Kingdom’s best interests in mind. Let the Spirit guide you as you pick your team of intercessors.

God is awesome and this is not just a saying as some people may use it. He is more than enough the greatest of the great.As we pray for each other and things in this world the very power of our Lord shows up.He inclines his ear to us and if he hears us watch closely answers are coming.I ask for your prayers because I am in sales myself and I am in a bad valley of the sales cycle.Be blessed and be a blessing.

All I can say is GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY. It is so motivating to read and envision a sales seminar and seeing the attendees come to the front of the meeting room and give their lives over to Jesus our Lord and Savior.
I have been reading your emails for over 2 years, and I am blessed. The Lord has used your emails to really speak to me at times. I can only imagine how He has blessed your work and your presentations.
I pray the Lord continues to keep you safe and protects you and your work from the enemy. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
God Bless you,

Thanks to all of you who have commented and to the many who labor on in the markets of this world endeavoring to bring the light of the Father into the hotly contested space we call the marketplace! Your prayers and words of encouragement are a great help!

Praise God and keep blazing Michael!

God is a goooo….d God, allll.. the time!!! The devil is an evil devil. We have the victory in the NAME of JESUS. He has given us all power and authority to trample on serpents and scorpions. I am an intercessor and will keep you before the Father. This is the year of the Open Door for us to live like we are living in the Garden of Eden. His Glory is being spread throughout all the Earth through us as we as we shine our light in the darkness. The world will see the light of Jesus and be attracted to it. The harvest is ripe, we are the laborers in the field and the angels are the reapers. We just have to be a willing vessel to be used for His Glory. Go
God Bless You,
