| Daniel Torres with Pastors Luis and Dalis Acevedo |
The end of April marked my 9th month as a full-time missionary living in Juarez. I know that the Lord birthed something in me last week that will take me deeper into what He has for me and for this needy City of Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. On the last week of my eight month in Juarez, the Lord brought Pastors Luis and Dalis Acevedo into my life. They pastor a church in Kissimmee, Florida. I know that they were God-sent. But not just to me, but to the multitudes that they ministered to. Only one other time in my 35 years of knowing the Lord have I seen such a powerful and anointed ministry. Just hours before they were scheduled to arrive at the El Paso Airport I received a phone call asking if I could pick them up and bring them to Juarez. I had been wondering why my agenda was empty for those days. God works in mysterious ways. The plan was for them to be in Juarez for 5 days of ministry. Some days they had 2 services scheduled in one day. Some of the church services lasted 4 to 5 1/2 hours. I ended up driving them to their respective churches, and then back to the Airport on April 30th. I got to know them well after those 5 days. It was a huge blessing to have known them. As it turned out they are both from Puerto Rico, the place of my birth.
One of the things that I began to notice immediately about their ministry in the churches of Juarez, was the vast number of new Pastors and leaders that the Lord was calling out through them. This included worship leaders, singers, and musicians, which are the front lines of spiritual battle. The ones called were both older folk as well as...children. Pastor Luis and his wife Dalis have never been to Mexico or Juarez before. Everyone that they met here, they met for the first time. Yet the Holy Spirit would show them who He was calling out, and for what specific work. They also spoke to me about my calling as a missionary and the work that the Lord had for me in Juarez. The end result, as I saw it, was that the Lord has been, and is preparing a huge Spiritual Army for the great move of God that is about to transform this City, known as the Most Violent City on Earth. In every church that we visited God was calling out workers into the fields. As a matter of fact, some were called to leave Juarez to go to other Nations. Some were called...to the United States!!
When people remind me that this City is the Most Violent on Earth, I just tell them that it just makes the harvest here greater than anywhere else on Earth. I ask them to get to work on the harvest.
To me this is not only marks the start of the transformation of Juarez, but the Spiritual Tsunami that will hit the Earth soon. And then...the Lord will return in the clouds to receive His church, His bride, the ones that He died for and accepted His sacrifice (see 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, and The Book Of Acts 1:9-11). I believe that the greatest Spiritual revival that the world will ever know will start in Juarez and the revival fires will sweep in every direction throughout the globe.
Pastors Luis and Dalis are scheduled to go to Costa Rica, Venezuela, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico, and England, I believe, in 2012. They also plan to return to Juarez in June of this year. I can't help but to think that, in those other Nations, God will call many more into the vast Army of laborers that He is preparing for these last days. And I know that this couple is not the only one that the Lord is using to call others into the Field of Souls.
If you have no idea about what I am talking about, then you owe it to yourself, and to those around you, to find out what all this means. It's a matter of eternal life or eternal death. I often tell people that there is something worse than going to an eternal hell-fire...and that's ending up there, looking around, and finding out that, through your example, you brought others with you...even your own children.
The harvest is all around us!!
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the Harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field." Matthew 9:35-38.
And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But as these things start to occur, raise yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting near. Luke 21:27,28.
