Touching The Untouchables
January 14, 2009

A few years ago the Lord privileged me with what I know today to be one part of a great calling for his end time harvest.
I know not the day, nor the hour, nor the year of this great happening, but there lies in me a great urgency to do as much as I can , as fast as I can.

The father showed me a mighty harvest, a great revival, and some of his simple yet powerful strategies to achieve his aims.
In this vision the Lord lead me through the inner cities of the world and showed me the greatness of the need.
Cities bursting with uncontrollable alcoholism, festering addictions.

Villages and towns showered with the battered, the abused, the rejected, the hungry, the lonely, the desperate, the destitute.
The broken of heart, battered of flesh, bankrupt of spirit and tormented of mind.
The unreachable, the hopeless, the untouchable,, the ungodly. those that do the things we dare not hear of, and live in ways we dare not speak of.
The people who live by hate, violence, murder, and thievery. The unliked, the unwanted, and the unloved.

Junkies, alcoholics, shoplifters, pickpockets ,rent boys, beggars, criminals...outcasts of society.
They sit in the streets under there manky damp blankets, broken, addicted, filthy, stinking, scabby, louse-ridden.
Suffering from scabies, impetigo, hepatitis, Aids, syphilis, herpes, venereal disease, full of abscesses, ulcers and they are starving.
yet they continue to nourish there souls in there ignorance, greedily drinking the poisoned wines straight from the wells of the bowels of hell on earth.

I herd a voice in my spirit say,
" Whom shall I send, who will go to them ?
I replied, I will go Lord send me, But how will I reach them and what shall I say to them?
By the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Came my answer. Go tell them.
I am the way, the truth and the life!! So that's what I did.

For a few years I tried to follow my heart.
I would walk the streets telling the needy Jesus loves them and I would try to reach each need I could with what little I had.
For years I never stopped believing the Lord was about to un birth something mighty. After years of walking with the Lord and harvesting his fields.
I saw people transformed from death to life. I saw the captive set free.

One day it dropped into my spirit to open up my two bedroom home in England and to start sharing what we had with all that came through from the streets of Birmingham.
Infact I had an urge on my heart, I actually had to go out and get them in. We were to become a bridge between the body of Christ and the Cities of sin.
How on earth was I to do this in a two bedroom rented house on income support.
Through Christ Jesus who strengthens you came the reply,
By faith for the Father shall be your provider. Ohh lord these people are filthy stinking and will suffer awful withdrawal.
Wash them ,feed them, and trust the Lord to provide and protect us all. If God be for you nothing can come against you.
Fear nothing for No weapon formed against us can prosper.

Suddenly we found we had eight to ten addicts and alcoholics, from the streets living with us, all clean and sober and trying to learn how to address
there illness of addiction and live a productive Christian life.
We realized that even though people were in a great state of dependency and need, they were very closed to us talking about Christ.
So we prayed about it. This called for Wisdom, common sense really.
Don't go out and talk to them about spiritual matters, talk a drunk as a drunk and an addict as an addict.
Give them something to relate to, So we did, we shared our experience, strength and hope.
After hearing that most were gripped and hungry to find a way out of there plights, there turmoil.
It was then and only then that they became willing and open enough for us to tell them of the great work of Christ through his holy spirit.

We desperately needed a bigger building so we prayed for it and got it. that was some eight years ago. Today we have the first Christian detox unit and twelve step treatment centre in our Country. There are other Christian centres, but not with our approach to addiction.
We are very successful and highly recognized. Hundreds if not thousands of lives have been touched through the amazing grace of God in this ministry.
Praise God. We live a simple life, A day at A time. What was given to us freely, we give unto others. It is in the giving that we receive.
We never forget the depths of despair we were saved from. Each day we hand over our Will and our Lives to God.
Each night we thank him for another day clean, another day sober and another day of freedom.
We learn very early into our recovery, no human scarce could help us, but God could and God would if he was sort. As long as we stay on that path, we can and will be freed, for whom the son sets free is free indeed.
A willing heart, a grateful mind and the power of one running with a fire for the Lord can not be stopped !! For through Him I can do all things for the joy of Lord is our strength
