Healing and Reconciliation

Part of our mandate is healing and reconciliation and prophetic restoration. We have been involved in prophetic intercession and proclamations for reconciliation in the land and for the healing of the people and of the ground in Ayacucho lost by the violence and atrocities over the many years and through the Holy Spirit reclaim this for the Lord.

Ayacucho – the Corner of Death – This field is the site of one of the major battle in the 1980’s to 1990’s armed conflict where thousands died, and has now got on a monument to those who died. This Corner of death was renamed by the power of the spirit to Kawsaycucho, the Corner of life.

Ayacucho was the site of the first uprising against the Spanish, The Battle of Ayacucho was a decisive military encounter during the Peruvian War of Independence, fought on December 9, 1824, and the death’s in the 1980’s – 1990’s conflict. Makes this an area drenched in blood over the many years.

Our mandate here was to repent on behalf of Spain and apologise to the Peruvians represented by Julio and Jose. They also apologise on behalf of their country and Pastor Jose, his family, his church and his city are now receiving the benefits of this act of forgiveness.

Pastor Jose writes “Evangelising children” teaching them the motto transmitting to our generations the change from Ayacucho to Kawsaycucho (corner of the death to corner of the living) from ignorance to wisdom.  From living a life without direction to living a life with purpose.

Sunday School teachers are teaching this to the children in the surrounding neighbourhoods. At the moment they give the children academic help.

Also the rising of the terrorist movement Shining Path took place here.  This is also the place where the Inquisition create link was introduced to Peru.

In 2013 after teaching pastor Jose mobilised the church in various teams.  We went out to proclaim the new name of the city of Ayacucho i.e. Kawsaycucho – city of life.   We were deployed in and around the city at different key positions.  We proclaimed the real identity of the city and a future of hope in the will of God.

The local government now want to change the name of the city from “Corner of the Dead” to “City of Peace” and to bury their ‘identity’ as terrorists, both reflecting what was proclaimed in the Spirit.
