We enjoyed some time at the Passion World Tour on Saturday night.
The Spanner Vision
Yesterday I received a call from one of the leaders at Victory, he said he had a vision of a spanner (wrench).
Happy Birthday Pat Robertson!
You are an amazing guy and an inspiration! Congratulations on 80 years!
Fruit Inspectors and Judges
We are told not to be judgmental in the Word. However, we are also told by the Messiah that we are all like trees, some bearing good fruit and some bearing bad. Make sure you bear good fruit
Celebrating 75!
Today is a celebration. If you knew I had written my 75th Faith Builder (writing to 365), you might think that’s it. But something even better.
My father turned 75 years today! Oh, I wish that I could be there with him in the US to celebrate this important day. I am so thankful for Dad! Everyone talks about how wonderful their parents are but I think it is hard to top Robert W!
It is so important to create a heritage of faith for your children. The father of the home is the spiritual head of the family. His responsibility is make sure the wife and kids are raised in a good church and learn His ways! My father did just that.
My mom and dad both came from heathen families but after the birth of my sister a neighbor came by. His name was John West. Mr. West was so loving and encouraged these young parents to get to church. God bless John West!
Without John West, we would not have a heritage of faith, but he was just the catalyst. My father stuck with it through think and thin. I am so blessed.
-My parents sent us kids to Summer Camp every year.
-Had us in church every Sunday
-Encouraged us to do different things such as band, sports
-Adopted three girls from Korea and gave them a chance to have a full life in the US
-Is constantly telling people about Jesus and giving away thousands of Bibles all the time.
-Not afraid to pray for people then and there when they need something.
It is amazing how much your parents influence who you become. I have to say the success I have, and the blessing I am to the people around me is a direct connection to my Dad.
We’ve been able to lead over 70 people to Jesus since we came to Japan. We have seen countless healings and miracles in the lives of people from all over the world because we believed and prayed over them in faith.
If my Dad wouldn’t have had the guts to get me in church and teach me The Way, who knows what I would be doing.
Praise God for a wonderful Dad. I am indebted to him for so much. I can never repay him for the heritage, the training, the discipline, the encouragement, and most importantly the love he has showed me.
By the Holy Spirit, I sense the best way to give back is to sow that same love into my children. If there are more people like my Dad in the world
Go long and go strong Dad!
Faith Builder Number 67
Can you believe it? I have written Faith Builder number 67 now for our weekday newsletter. Amazing!
Writing is certainly not for the faint-hearted. It takes a lot of work. I hope you are enjoying the Faith Builders.

God’s Word Is, So We Should
I love this from Smith Wigglesworth.
God’s Word is:
Supernatural in origin
Eternal in duration
Inexpressible in valor
Infinite in scope
Regenerative in power
Infallible in authority
Universal in application
Inspired in totality
We should:
Read it through
Write it down
Pray it in
Work it out
Pass it on
All This Global Warming…
WASHINGTON — A blizzard battered the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday, quickly dumping large amounts of snow on that piled up on roadways and toppled trees onto apartment buildings and cars…. more here.
In Tokyo, long underwear is really hot (pardon the pun) with stocks all sold out. I haven’t bothered wearing the extra layers for probably 15 years. That has certainly changed.
We should take care of our environment, but we don’t have to worship it. Let’s worship it’s Creator!
Japanese Worship Song: Sono Hi Zen Sekaiga ???????
This is a great Japanese worship song. Check out the Victory Word Church rehearsal set.
So Much To Be Thankful For In 2009
Miracles Happening At Japan Church
Today, we closed 2009 with my message “Set Your Expectations Right” or ????????? in Japan.
At the end of the service we had a number of people come up to the stage and share what God had done for them in 2009, and what they are expecting in 2010 by faith. I was amazed. This is what we got in 2009.
1) A lady needing more income getting extra work out of the blue and being 10,000 yen an hour!
2) A man diagnosed with diabetes completely healed. Confirmed by his doctor as a “miracle of God”.
3) A wife told by her doctor that she was incapable of getting pregnant with her husband getting pregnant.
4) Another wife who could not get pregnant, in 2008 was prayed for and pregnant in two weeks. She gave birth to her second child in 2009. Hallelujah!
5) A woman working at a company in a business area severely affected by the downturn not only saw her company do well, but she got a raise! God blesses His people!
6) A guy working in Japan saw great miracles and God turn the premature death of his brother back in is home country something better.
7) A woman came to Japan lonely and hungry for God shared how blessed she was to come and be a part of the Victory Band. She didn’t realize how much God could use her outside of her country.
8) A lady was completely healed of breast cancer. The doctors could find no trace of the cancer and sent her home.
There are many other testimonies for 2009. If I missed yours, please send it in. I would love to add it to our list of praise to our Almighty God!
I am very excited for 2010 and look forward to worshipping with you.
Much love,
Spencer Patrick
