The new year has already started off with victory. We have just
secured airtime on The National Religious Broadcasters Network,
which is broadcast on Direct TV, Channel 378. This means our program
will go into more than 21 million more homes each week. Months
ago, I felt that I was to purchase time in the Las Vegas area
, but I was unable to do so. I prayed for the Lord to open a door
for our telecast to be aired in Las Vegas, Nevada at a prime time.
Well, I have to believe this is an answer to prayer, because we
are airing at 11:30 PM every Sunday evening. Not only are we airing
in Las Vegas, but we’re in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle,
San Diego and all the other cities on the West Coast at what I
believe to be the prime time spot. We’re after that one
alcoholic that just walked in the door, that one drug addict that
is miserable, that pimp that’s just finished business, that
prostitute that’s about to give up hope, that movie star
that’s searching for happiness and/or that one sinner that’s
lost and on their way to hell. Everyone of them needs Jesus in
their hearts and lives. I’m praying that one will flip through
the channels and find the hope they need through our telecast.
What a fertile field this is. I have stepped out on faith and
I need Harvest Partners to join with me, weekly and monthly, to
help me bring in this harvest. We must remember that many in the
Midwest and on the East Coast will be up flipping through the
channels, also, searching for an answer. Every town, every city
and every home that has Direct TV, will be able to see that “Jesus
Is The Answer.” For those of you that will be sleeping at
that hour, you can set your recorder and tape the program to watch
it later. Please pray for this outreach. †
Prophecy Warnings and Assurance
This past Sunday the Lord spoke through me and warned the leaders
of the United States that they would pay for the evil they were
bringing upon His
|
Children. He reminded them of how Pharaoh had placed burdens
upon His people and how He had destroyed Pharaoh and delivered
Israel. God warned that within the next three and one half
years we would see His Hand move upon the leaders of this
nation. He said to the law makers, “Your wives shall
become widows and your children fatherless.” He also
assured His Children that He would watch over them and take
care of them as His judgment is poured out upon the leaders.
We Christians, truly need to praise the Lord for His love,
mercy and compassion. The way the prophecy was worded, His
wrath could or would start within this year and be completed
within three and a half years. Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
the spirit of antichrist is loosed upon this nation and
all of our leaders are headed for a one world government.
Scriptures are being fulfilled right before our eyes. The
signs of the times are everywhere. We must make certain
that we have our eyes on the Eastern Sky for the Lord Jesus
Christ can come at any moment. †
Splinters
As I stand before our congregation week after week and year
after year, it totally amazes me to see how quickly many
will cast down their crosses. One must realize when you
make the decision to follow Christ, you will have to carry
your own cross. Mark 8:34, “Whosoever will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
me.” Once you place that cross upon your back you’ll
learn that it gets heavy. In the beginning it’s not
that difficult to carry and you go along at a fast pace,
but soon blisters, splinters and pain will come. People
must realize that wood has splinters and if you carry a
piece on your back, you’ll get splinters. This is
the point where some will cast it down and walk away making
excuses as to why they are giving up. Others, will continue
no matter how difficult it gets. They have a made up mind.
A wise person knows the more a piece of wood is handled,
the smoother it gets and the place which was once a blister,
becomes a callus. The Lord tells us plainly in II Timothy
2:12, “If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:”
God has never promised us that our walk would be easy, but
I feel that many think once they have Christ, that everything
will go smoothly. In many cases it does. I
had much rather go through the valley with Jesus by my side
than to walk it alone. I hear people pray for a closer walk
with Jesus and when trials and test come

|
their way, they can’t understand why they’re
having problems. When we ask to walk closer to the Lord, we’re
asking for the fire to be turned up. We have to be tried and
tested to see if we will stand. I encourage every Christian
to keep walking as long as you can and when you can’t
take another step, just stand. But while you stand, keep holding
the Cross. Splinters will vanish, blisters will turn to calluses
and you will grow stronger in the Lord. †
Haiti Report
I’m writing this letter about a week after the disaster
in Haiti. I’m sure everyone has heard of the tragic
earthquake that has taken thousands of lives in that poor
country. It’s so sad that it has taken the death of
tens of thousands to open the eyes of the people around the
world. I have spent more than a year of my life on the Island
of Haiti. I have met so many wonderful people there. I’m
glad to report that Brother James called me two nights ago
and gave me the good news that he and his family made it out
alive. They did lose their home and all their belongings to
the quake and looters, but they have the two most precious
possessions one can have, they have Jesus and they have life.
Brother James did lose his Dad in the quake, but he was ready
to meet the Lord, so it was easier for James to let him go.
Bazoo is also alive. Bazoo is the boy Debbie and I adopted
over 20 years ago. He was an orphan living on the
streets. As I watch the turmoil on television, the only consolation
I get is that I have helped lead thousands of those that died
to the Lord Jesus Christ. We now will have to help Brother
James and his family rebuild and start over. I ask each of
you to help me in this crisis. It’s only by the grace
of God that it’s there and not here. It could have easily
been North Carolina or your state, instead of Haiti. It will
cost thousands to remove the debris and rebuild his home.
Please make a pledge today, even if you cannot pay the entire
amount now. We need to know what you can send this year to
help in this outreach. I thank you in advance. †
