What a blessing you all are!
Thank you so much for all you have given to
LSM, the finances, the prayers, the love, the phone calls of encouragement. You will never know how much these precious acts of mercy and kindness mean to all of us as we keep reaching out to those who are hurting. We have just sent out our year end newsletter, so look for it. Please continue to pray for all of the staff of
LSM. We are all being buffeted soundly, but I recently received an encouraging word from a prayer partner in South Africa. He knew nothing in the natural of the struggle we have all been in for the last few months.
The prophetic word said, "These hard things you have been going through have been ordained of God for the tearing down of
strongholds." I almost always can buck up and keep going through hard stuff when I feel that there is something good going to come out of it. If this is training, then we're going to study and do our homework as best we can. 2002 is going to be a very big year.
I feel that 2002 it will be a year of extremes. If you are growing and getting stronger, you will grow even more and have greater victories. If you are discouraged and thinking negatively with much doubting, it will be a hard year. Thank God for the Keys of the
Kingdom. They are more than enough to move us from the camp of the fearful and doubting into the CAMP OF THE OVERCOMERS! God bless you and stay in touch, please. Liberty Savard
Merry Christmas 2000 and Happy New Year 2001 from Liberty!
How exciting it is to be facing a new year with an exciting new schedule, with a powerful
new mandate from God, and with a new burst of enthusiastic gratitude that He has allowed
and is still allowing me to continue in His Kingdom work! The new mandate from God is to
focus heavily on training more teachers to teach this Keys of the Kingdom Message. I did
not realize how thrilling it was going to be to go through our first LSM Training Center
Teachers' Certification Training Seminar last September. We had nearly 40 students who
were trained and tested and tried within an inch of their souls' lives! Once all of the
teaching was completed, and the 5 hours of written testing began, I sat in the front of
the training room and wept. I was so overwhelmed as I looked at the intense faces of these
students, poring over their Keys of the Kingdom trilogy books and their Bibles and
writing, writing, writing-they were so determined to fully express their understanding of
the Keys of the Kingdom message. This was the "first wave" of Keys of the
Kingdom student teachers-Baby Eagle Teachers who will always hold a very special place in
my heart.
Using these prayer principles is a very powerful way to get
free to be all you were created to be in God's Kingdom purposes for your life. Teaching
these prayer principles opens up an incredible new understanding of effective prayer and
its purpose on earth as in heaven. Teaching these prayer principles opens up the Word and
brings clarity to verses that have never seemed applicable to your life. Teaching these
prayer principles opens up a steady stream of new revelation that causes you to view
others and everything happening around you in a new light. I often inscribe in the front
of the books I autograph: READ THIS-USE IT-SHARE IT! This is how you will know the fulness
of Jesus' giving of the Keys in Matthew 16:19. Don't restrict your destiny blessings
because others have told you that you can't be more than you already are. God has said
that He has plans for you, and they are good and not evil. These divine plans are to
prosper you and give you hope and a good future. Ask Him how much He wants you
to do with the understanding you have and the understanding He will begin to
expand the minute you step out to share it. Tell Him that you are determined to believe
you are a special and unique creation of God Almight himself-destined to make a difference
in the unfolding of human history as we know it-and beyond!
I feel that so much of the future scheduling of LSM teaching
and traveling will be geared towards training teachers to teach this message. I am looking
forward to writing more new books as well, with the four mini-books coming out in January
2001 being just the beginning! I am praying and wishing for all of you that you would know
the fullness of how much He loves you, who you are in Christ, and that you would fully
discover your destiny purposes in the Kingdom for these last days. Happy New Year and may
God's richest blessings be yours! Liberty

TEAM Report from United Kingdom Tour
November, 2000
Here we are, Liberty, Evelyn, and Marian, back home in our own country, and happy
to be here. God bless America! We had over four blessed weeks in the
United Kingdom, accumulating experiences and memories that are priceless. But it is always
sooooo good to come home.
On November 2nd, we landed at Heathrow Airport in London
after an 11 hour flight. After the usual large airport delays, we then flew to Edinburgh
Scotland where we were met by Stephen and Christine Blakey, our Scotland hosts. After
hellos and tea, we were strundled off to a wonderful bed and breakfast nearby. The first
retreat I did with the Blakeys was in a wonderful old, castle-like mansion called the
Gartmore House, near Aberfoyle. It was there that I confessed to some of the Scottish
people that I had been worried about whether or not they would accept me. They admitted
they had been worried about the same thing, after what they had seen of Americans on
television. Then one lady gave me a wonderful compliment, saying, "But you are just
so un-American, you're really like us!" I felt like Paul when he said that when in
Rome, he was as a Roman! I learned some new words there, such as "boofy."
When I asked what a boofy was, a man said, "Well, what do you call it in America when
the food is all laid out on a table and you get to choose what you want to eat?" I
also learned that gammon, neeps, and taties were considered fine breakfast fare.
We met up with some Highland Cattle near Gartmore, great
shaggy reddish-blond "cows" with long, curly bangs covering their eyes. Too
cute! We ate in a Scottish country pub, toured St. Andrews, and devoured warm lemon scones
with strawberry jam and double cream (double YUM), before the next series of meetings in
an Edinburgh hotel. After an all day conference at Glen Rothes with the Blakeys, we left
Edinburgh to travel up to NE Scotland. Stephen and Christine Blakey joined us there later.
Stephen Blakey of Scottish Renewal Ministries, 17a Blacket Place, Edinburgh
Scotland EH9 1RJ, has become our European distributor for selected LSM tapes and charts.
Cameron Laing drove us up to NE Scotland, a sightseeing event
that absolutely defies description. You just have to see this part of the country to
believe it. There, Sasha Laing (Cameron's wife) had done an excellent job of organizing
three church meetings-one each in Ellon, Peterhead, and Fraserburgh. Peterhead is a major
fishing port on the North Sea. We genuinely enjoyed the wonderful people of Scotland.
However, we did get a little weary of hearing everywhere we went, "Aye, and
ya have no president yet, d'ya know!" We spent many prayer times praying for
the leadership of our own country as we stood on soil far from home. It was interesting to
hear all of the Scottish and British "ideas" on America's politics.
After flying down to Newcastle England, we stayed at the
wonderful, three-story country home of Randy (an Anglican priest) and Dorothy Vickers, two
delightful new friends. Dorothy felt we three Americans were quite funny in our morning
pre-breakfast funks. There I enjoyed Nunchy Cruts, clotted cream, and their extremely
creative toaster which threw toast nearly two feet out of the toaster, asif it were in an
Olympic tryout! Once, upon being laughed at for my "English" by three
"proper Englishmen," I chided them that anyone who ate "bubble and
squeak" and "singing hinnies" had no place correcting my English, thank you
very much. I spoke twice for the Vickers at their Northumbrian Healing Centre of Prayer
and then at their annual conference at Minsteracres, an old stone mansion which has been
turned into a very large Catholic retreat center. There I met a dear Irish nun named
Sister Dympna and several of the priests (English, Irish, and Swedish), and was honored to
share their private Sunday night celebration supper with them after the retreat had ended.
Randy drove the three of us out into the countryside where we
had a great pub lunch in the crypt of an old mansion, now a hotel called the Lord Crewes
Arms. We also went to the unbelievably huge and awesome Durham Cathedral, which is a
thousand years old. Americans truly do not have a concept of "history" such as
the English and the Scottish do.
Robert and Alice Ward, our next hosts, took us to eat in an
authentic English countryside pub, and then on to view the great Hexham Abbey, a
magnificent old church in Hexham. They arranged an all-day leadership seminar where Robert
called leaders to pray for us and our country, asking us to forgive the English for their
wrong attitudes towards Americans. It was a time of many tears, and much strengthening of
our mutual family ties in God. A two-day seminar followed at the Bethshan Christian Centre
after a television interview on the God Channel with Wendy Alleck. We are discussing
having this station (shown in 58 countries throughout Europe and the Mid East) airing my
30 half-hour television programs on Breaking the Power.
Andy Toman, my designer from Bridge-Logos Publishing, joined
us in Newcastle (sent from Florida by Guy Morrell of Bridge-Logos) to be our guide around
London. Andy was a walking miracle of God's protection from the minute he drove out of the
Manchester England airport to meet up with us. A truck going the opposite direction lost a
large scaffolding pipe which bounced end over end across the median center and crashed
through the windshield of Andy's van. It sailed past his head and exited out through the
rear window of the van. We spent heartfelt time giving God glory for His protection and
love.
Andy drove the LSM team down through England to London, where
we spent a hilarious couple of hours trying to find our hotel. Andy is somewhat
directionally impaired, and I as his co-pilot have always been geographically impaired. We
managed, between the two of us and the 15 people we stopped to ask directions from, to
somehow find our hotel. Londoners do not give the most explicit of directions, we found
out. No street names, it is always to just go down to the second light, turn at the
roundabout and then go a little ways until you see the park and go half around it and up
the hill-can't miss it, mate. Somehow, we always "missed it."
Roundabouts, if you have not experienced them, would be hard
to explain without physically going around one. I never did get the logic of them, but
they do seem to work. Everyone just sort of "pours" into this circular road from
all directions and you all go around and around together until you get a chance to dive
off, I mean "drive off," on the side road you want.
We had a great time taking a tour bus (genuine double-decker,
open air!) all over London to view Trafalgar Square, the Marble Arch, Buckingham Palace,
the Tower Bridge, Carnaby Street, and so more, getting off to eat what Andy (a true Brit)
called "pub grub." We loved it. We even "shopped" in the famous
Harrods Department Store-well, actually we just looked. In a future book, I will describe
the remarkable story of "Andy, a waterproof angel, and the car key in the
toilet bowl" story that almost stranded us in London!
We drove an hour south to Croyden where I had a final
speaking engagement at Folly's End Church. Again, the directionally-impaired duo,
Andy and Liberty, landed us in parts of London the Londoners don't even know
about. Finally, we wound up in Croyden where we had a marvelous Greek lunch with a
friendly host who said, "Just call me Jimmy the Greek. Ask anyone, everyone knows
Jimmy the Greek!" The meeting that night was wonderful, with a large group of young
people in the audience who were fascinated with the concepts of the binding and loosing
principles.
Our last full day in England, we drove into the country and
met my UK book distributor and his wife, Ed and Elizabeth Harding. We toured the newest
Christ For All Nations center, a very old, very huge stone building that used to be a poor
house. Ed and Elizabeth took us to lunch in an authentic English village Tea Shoppe, where
we had tea, asparagus quiche, and pumpkin pie (an unusual double-crust pie with cut up
slices of pumpkin). Then Andy and Ed walked out a muddy old road with me at nearly dusk
where we prowled around the ruins of Canterbury Castle. What an unbelievable experience,
looking up at the roofless walls of this beautiful old castle, viewing a standing stone
staircase still curving upwards. I stood and contemplated the thoughts, the hopes, and the
fears of those who had traversed those stairs hundreds of years ago. Did they have a
relationship with God? Did they know Jesus Christ? Whose hand held their hearts when the
enemy attacked and began to destroy their castle?
That night, we returned to Croyden where Andy took us to our
final dinner together at a Spanish restaurant. No tacos and burritos here! We had
magnificent seafood dinners with multiple courses. The next morning, we drove to Heathrow
Airport and seven hours later (after the usual delays and all) we lifted off the ground
and headed home for America!
I have been invited back to Scotland in August and to England
in October of 2001, where I plan on spending about two weeks each trip. It was a wonderful
experience and we're so grateful to everyone who made it such a pleasant and rewarding
experience. I am especially grateful to a great God who gave us this honor and privilege
of serving Him in the UK.

Shattering Your Strongholds

Life changing, real life application book
I first read this book while on holiday and could not put it
down. Halfway through, I decided to buy 4 more copies for
friends and family. The bookd has totally changed the way I
perceive Matthew 16:19 and I am now reading it a second time
together with the workbook. My prayer life has changed in
terms of loosing the strongholds in my life. Letting go of
some of my strongholds has been painful but binding myself to
God means the truth of his word can finally begin to heal me.
I would recommend that every bible believing christian should
read this book. It will definitely change your life and your
perspective of life.
God changed my life through this book., January 1, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from Houston, Texas
I must say that besides the Bible, this has got to be the most
powerful book I have ever read. I could sense the heavy
anointing on the book by page 9 as I sat and wept. I knew God
had nailed me. When He first told me I had strongholds, I
didn't really understand what a stronghold was. I thought that
it was some evil power that lurked over a city but God showed
me differently through this book. He taught me all about mind
sets and the scripture really came to life for me, "As a
man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Plain and simple. I
would highly recommend this book for anyone who is seriously
pursuing a relationship with God. This book demands change in
your life and is not for the carnal christian. Thank you for
reading my review and may God bless you as He has me. In
Christ!
A greater depth of understanding - a greater freedom!,
August 10, 1999
Reviewer: Peggy (remcgin@roadrunner.com) from
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Through the experiences and knowledge given to Rev. Savard,
this book can produce a freedom and liberty within each of us
to live victorious in Jesus Christ! Through God's wisdom and
the principles within this book, I came to realize that we can
receive God's healing of past hurts and offenses and yet not
have complete freedom - for the hidden strongholds remain
erected in our lives. Gaining the knowledge to either pray
them down or scale their walls comes from understanding how
and why they became a part of our spiritual life -
"Shattering Your Strongholds" does just that!
Experiencing this book has been life changing for me - I have
experienced a renewal and a revival - once again I can walk in
the fullness of God's authority because the enemy has been
exposed!
A must read book for every prayer warrior, April 23,
1999
Reviewer: A reader from Daytona Beach, Florida
This book has literally changed my prayer life and has changed
the people I've been praying for. I have always known about
binding the enemy but never realized we are to bind ourself to
God's will, his mind, the blood of Jesus, the power of the
cross, and the path of righteousness. I now realize we can
pray to loose our wrong beliefs and thinking and ask God to
remove the strongholds in our life that have caused them. This
book will give you the format to activate this in your life.
Powerful -- supplies a missing link for full freedom!,
April 21, 1999
Reviewer: A reader from Round Rock, TX, USA
This is one of the most life-changing, powerful books I have
read in a long time. It has changed my life and has changed
the way I pray for others. I highly commend it to any one
desiring to be totally free from hang-ups and from ungodly,
undesirable habits. For me, it was a missing link for some of
the apparent unanswered prayers... they were really incomplete
prayers, because I did not have this knowledge of how to
powerfully commit people and their needs to God and to the
power of the resurrection in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It is powerful! Things will happen in your life and in the
lives of those for whom you pray. I am eternally grateful for
the insight that this book has to offer.
This
book went to the heart of deep Christian matters.,

My heart and spirit were revived through this powerful
revelation of what power God has placed within us. The
training wheels prayers were awesome and brought me into
another realm and way of praying.
This book is a must for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,

Reviewer: servant@netusa1.net(Hazel) from Peru, In.
This is an incredible step to freedom. The depth of
understanding you receive on binding and loosing alone is
worth the read. I have been doing classes on this book and it
is truly changing lives. We all need to face the past and get
over it! Traumatic facts from our pasts cannot be
"changed," they exist. Unresolved trauma creates
unhealed hurts, unresolved issues, and unmet need deep within
our souls. These hurts and issues become "sources"
of fuel for feelings of pain, fear, distrust, anger and wrong
desires. To survive we all learn behaviors that temporarily
pacify and take the edge off the pain. The key to overcoming
all this is to dismantle the core structure of our soul's
power and control that has been blocking out the healing work
of the Holy Spirit. Then God's mercy and grace can get to the
sources" and heal them. This book will help you
understand how to work with God to receive your healing and
wholeness.
Life changing., August 22, 1998
Reviewer: JWilson746@aol.com
(see more about me) from Texas
This book is changing lives around us simply because we are
applying the principals of binding and loosing stated in this
excellent treatise of spiritual warfare. Liberty Savard's
"training wheels" prayer is worth the price and
more!

Breaking the Power
POWER!,
June 16, 2000 Reviewer: DEBBIE
JANTZEN (see more about me)
We ALL have areas in our lives that we need "fixed".
This book contains powerful prayers, based on the Binding and
Loosing principles taught in the Bible, to teach us to pray in
line with God's word, and with the spritual laws of the
universe. This book especially deals with emotional
healing. There are seldom overnight miracles, we are healed
layer by layer, as knowledge increases. I have bought several
copies of this book for friends and family, and bookmarked the
prayers. I do not agree with some of Liberty's theology,
but you cannnot deny the results of praying these prayers for
yourself and your loved ones. I have gotten results from
praying these prayers!

from Canada , 23 October, 2000 - Think you might
like God, but you hate religion ? Read this!
This book expands more powerfully on her first book. The
principles of the freedom in God are showen and the simplicity
of relationship with him explained. If you are stuck in you
walk, either with God or with out him, read on and find out
how to free yourself from the walls you created to protect
yourself,but which are now imprisoning you. As a spitirual
counsellor I recommend Ms. Savard's books to back up exactly
what I am teaching in counselling.
A
reader from Michigan , 17 August, 1999
This book puts a wrap on the authors 1st book, it's great
The author's 1st book changed my life...her second book
expounded on the first and this her latest book just wraps up
everything and ties it all together. It basically is about
getting into alignment with God's will and purposes for our
lives. I have been a Christian for a long time and struggled
for a long time. But with the keys of the kingdom (binding and
loosing) which Rev. Savard describes in all 3 of her books,
they have changed my life. Something so simple, but yet so
profound and they are based on Matthew 16:19. I think
this is a must read for every Christian.
