Fall 2018 – Thank you all for your continued financial support and prayer for the coming year of Samuel’s Mantle. Here are the things we are asking the Lord to provide for that you may want to get behind. The Lord has his fingerprints on a bunch of things that are currently developing:

The start of our year at Samuel’s Mantle has been quite unexpected in some ways. With the new technology available we have begun broadcasting a devotional from the Samuel’s Mantle Facebook page Tuesday at 10:30am, a 1st year class Thursday’s at 1pm, and a less formal 1-hour teaching time called Free-Form-Friday on Friday’s at 10am. The thing about these web-broadcasts is that the Presence of God is showing up with people who are online in their own houses, wherever in the world they are, just as the Lord would show up in class. This has been surprising for me personally, I do understand that when we play music from the computer in class that the band isn’t in the room but the Lord honours it with His presence – I am just joyfully surprised that the Presence of Jesus follows teaching and activation online exactly the same way to whomever and wherever someone in the world may be tuning in. For example:

“Thank you! I don’t have even words to express the blessings and encouragement that I receive through the activations that you do. His Presence comes so strong and the spiritual realm opens up all around me. I pray that you and your wife will be abundantly blessed!” (Sharon in Ontario)

“Thank you Murray for guidance into God’s Presence once again. This form of communication with God is so powerful and it is healing me. May God continue to bless you and this ministry!” (Kathy in Alberta)

In the first year online class we had people from Australia, New Mexico, Toronto, California, and England (as well as local) all tuning in. The technology is now available at a good price for all of the students to interact with each other in a virtual classroom and do the prophetic activations together! But due to lack of enrollment, we had to cancel that class.  The first 5 classes we did are available in our FaceBook group, add yourself to that group to watch them all.  “A Taste of Samuel’s Mantle” FaceBook Group

On top of that we are now in the process of converting our five week series into Web-classes and communities:

  • The Mystery of Spiritual Sensitivity
  • Learning to Look with the Eyes of Your Heart
  • Dream Interpretation
  • Walking with God through the Seasons of Life
  • Seeing God in the Word Around Us

There appears to be so many people who see and feel and dream who just don’t have anyone to talk to, learn about their gifting, and share their experiences – it has been a real joy to connect with these people, and begin to develop the resources to help them. I have the teaching and knowledge thanks to Jesus through the last 19 years of development, now to get it out to these online communities. If you have the desire to connect with people from other parts of the world, to answer questions, pray for them, and do activations with them please let me know!

The local classes are going well, just doing two this year as we shift to where the need online is presenting itself. The first-year class is very much full of pastors and leaders coming from the Mennonite stream. Such a good group of spiritually sensitive and hungry people – it makes teaching easy. (I think this group was mainly inspired from our prophetic outreaches at the Mark Centre at Christmas times for a number of years – good fruit from that.)

The SAMco class is happening in Abbotsford as well, and we are continuing to build prophetic community followed by quite significant training from the Lord on how to listen, interpret, and follow Him. The journey of learning and training continues. For all of you have done at least 2 years of SAM this is still your community and you can join at any time!

Another change in the wind is that there seems to be a lot of hunger from former SAM students from the last couple of decades to connect: as we get things set-up and running it is definitely on my heart to do bi-monthly meetings with a full worship team (just like at the conference) for us all to be in the Lord’s presence together, listen, and pray for and with each other.

And the best for last, Jaye and I are doing great. Thank you all for your prayers and love. God has been so good to Jaye and me. We are dreaming together about developing a Samuel’s Mantle retreat centre and animal sanctuary for horse therapy. It has been made very real to me that there is nowhere to go for spiritually sensitive people to unhook and find rest in a Holy Spirit filled quiet place — to be able to just listen and be with Abba Father. Could you pray with us in regards developing a property like that? I feel this strongly on Father’s heart.

Bless you all for your financial support and prayer. Without your love and commitment, we would not be able to develop the resources we need, to fund these projects, and get the teaching and impartation of the Presence of the Lord beyond our region. Thank you for your desire to see more and more people touched with the Presence of a caring God, Jesus Christ, who wants to be known, heard, and walk in an intimate friendship with His bride.

Update: Jan 4, 2016

Hi Everyone!

Thank you again for supporting us, praying for us, and believing that learning to hear God’s voice is such an important part of our journey here on earth. This last year saw SAM make some wonderful connections again through Jeremy and Connie Sinnott of the Toronto Airport, ministering in both the Toronto area and with their connections in Australia. Connecting with Impact Nations and their base in Albuquerque New Mexico is on-going as well. However it’s the impact of the local classes, and the students, like you, that have gone through the local classes where a lot of really good fruit is growing. Through former students we have connected with the Mark Centre, which is a Mennonite Brethren retreat centre here in Abbotsford. This year, at the beginning of the Christmas season, over a three night period, we ministered to well over 300 people; most never having received prophetic ministry before. Below is a letter I recently received in regards to these nights of prayer. I thought I would share it with you. (I plan to put it up on my wall to remind me of the impact of sharing what we are hearing from the Lord with people.)

Hi, Murray!
This is Lisa Ritchie (Mike’s wife).  I volunteer with the Mark Centre and worked on the rooms for the Christmas walkthrough this year. Also, I have been facilitating art workshops with the ladies in rehab at the Abbotsford Teen Challenge house.  This group of 8 women did the walkthrough on the final (Thurs) evening and also went for prayer from your team. Mike and I were also there that night.

What I want to share with you, Murray, is how powerful and meaningful the prayers were that were prayed over each of those Teen Challenge women.  I was in the Great Room as each one returned. They were stunned, speechless, teary.  As I asked each one about their experience.  Everyone said that the prayer time was incredible.  Then they all started talking, sharing and weeping. Things were said like, “ I have never had such life affirming words spoken to me in my whole life.”;

“ They knew things about me that only God would know.”;  “Something is happening inside me right now. I have to go through the rooms again!” (she actually went through 3 times!! )  The prayers were unlocking her blocked emotions. She felt safe to look again. To really look….
There were many more amazing things shared. By everyone, not just the T/C ladies. A couple from the Vineyard brought their home group one night. Most went for prayer. It was impactful and they wanted to know “where to go to get more of this!”  Murray, I want you to know that your ministry IS accomplishing the purpose which it is meant to do. It is not returning void. Be encouraged and inspired to carry on. God is moving and molding Samuel’s Mantle to respond to the ones He is bringing to you and your team.

May you and your family truly experience “Immanuel” right now.
He is with you, and when you listen, He WILL speak. J

Cheers!
Lisa

Again and again, things like this pop up from former students who are out there believing that encountering our living God is vital for people to know the Father in an intimate way. I think there are probably about 1300 or so former students throughout the churches of the Fraser Valley now, all in their various ways, introducing people to the intimate ways of Jesus.

As for the New Year, our sense is things are changing. Since the summer the Lord has been speaking about doing small events: seminars, retreats, and conferences. It has taken some time to adjust to this new leading. Having said that though we are going to do our first 5 week seminar beginning in January on Tuesday nights at the church office. “The Mystery of Spiritual Sensitivity,” will be our topic and this will be for anyone who wants to understand anything to do with: spiritual sensitivity, discernment, burden bearing, etc… So for anyone who has never been to SAM or anyone who wants a refresher!

Thank you all for believing in the impact hearing the voice of the Lord has! (Eph 1:17)
