Dear Friend,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ.
For more than ten years I have been preaching the “END TIME HARVEST.” My
message has been based on Isaiah 2:2, Micah 4:1, Daniel 12:3, Luke
14:15-24 and Ephesians 4:11-16. Revelation Chapters 4, 5, 7 and
14 confirm an awesome harvest of people in Heaven.
The End Time Harvest of souls happens in three anointed phases.
The first phase of harvest is brought in by the Church, prior to
the appearing of Jesus and the catching away of the righteous.
Phase two is the result of the ministry of the 144,000 young, unmarried,
male Jewish servants of God. Their public ministry takes place
during the first three-and-a-half years of the Tribulation. During
the second-half of the Tribulation, angels ministering to every
nation in their languages, bring in the third phase of the GREAT
END TIME HARVEST.
By the end of these three phases, more than half the world's population
is born again and added to the Kingdom of God. Thank God, especially
when it comes to the category of souls, God does not lose to Satan.
God never loses!
Recently I shared with you that Brazil is now the 2 nd largest
Christian nation, with Mexico 3 rd and Russia 4 th . Think about
it. In only 15 years the church in Russia has come topside and
is turning that nation to God. This is a modern-day miracle.
However, on the Saturday, prior to this past Easter, the following
article appeared in the Times Digest. The reporter is Nicholas
Kristof. It is datelined, Dete Crossing, Zimbabwe. READ CAREFULLY!
“FAITH THRIVES”
“So with Easter approaching, here I am in the heart
of Christendom.
That's right – Africa. One of the most important
trends reshaping the world is the decline of Christianity in
Europe and its rise in Africa and other parts of the developing
world, including Asia and Latin America.
I stopped at a village last Sunday morning here
in Zimbabwe – and
found not a single person to interview, for everyone had
hiked off to church a dozen miles away.
On Easter, more Anglicans will attend church in
Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda – each – than
Anglicans and Episcopalians together will attend services in
Britain, Canada and the U.S. combined.
More Roman Catholics will celebrate Easter Mass in the Philippines
than in any European country. The largest church in the world is
in South Korea. And more Christians will probably attend Easter
services in China than in all of Europe together.
In short, for the first time since it began two
millenniums ago, Christianity is no longer “Western” in any very
meaningful sense. People in the New Christendom are so zealous
about their faith that I worry about the risk of new religious
wars. In Africa, Christianity and Islam are competing furiously
for converts, and in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and especially Sudan,
the competition has sometimes led to violent clashes.
The denominations gaining ground tend to be evangelical and especially
Pentecostal.
All this is changing the character of global Christianity, making
it more socially conservative.
Yet conservative Christians in the U.S. should
take heed. Christianity is thriving where it faces obstacles,
like repression in China or suspicion of evangelicals in parts
of Latin America and Africa. In those countries where religion
enjoys privileges – Britain,
Italy, Ireland, Spain or Iran – faith seems to have been stifled.
That's worth remembering in the debates about school
prayers or public displays of the Ten Commandments: faith doesn't
need any special leg up. Look at where religion is most vibrant
today, talk to those who walk five hours to services, and the
obvious conclusion is that what nurtures faith is not special
privileges, but rather adversity.”
I pray this article sounds like a wake up call. The Holy Spirit
is causing Christianity to explode and multiplied tens of millions
are accepting Jesus.
We also know 1,200,000 are being added to the church monthly in
China and almost a million each month in India.
Notice, the article stated that Christianity in EUROPE and the
UNITED STATES is on the decline. WHY? The answer is simple. Our
ministers, of all denominations including many Charismatic and
Word of Faith, are relying more on their education, talents and
programs than the Holy Ghost and His anointing. Most church services
are designed to please the attendants and not make demands on them.
Sunday morning crowds are good, but the true spiritual life of
most churches is poor to almost non-existent.
WE NEED A FRESH INFILLING OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT !
I pray that the ever-increasing opposition to Christianity, the
Bible and the Ten Commandments here in our nation will challenge
you as never before. WE MUST RISE UP, wearing the armor of God,
using His mighty weapons and begin marching under the gracious
anointing of the Holy Spirit.
I have just returned from St Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands
and Word of Faith Church, pastored by Ronald Walker. They reported
the largest crowds in their history and many first-time visitors.
We had large altar responses with a number of first-time salvations,
and all as I taught the majestically dramatic Book of Revelation.
Partner, the Holy Spirit is moving. People are becoming hungry
for reality and God does not want us to disappoint them.
Please understand; I am not boasting, except on the
Holy Ghost , I am full of the Holy Ghost. I do
pray everyday and am still a student of God's great Book. I
am ready to be poured out wherever the Holy Spirit sends me.
In order for my team and I to take advantage of all the open doors,
I need your help. YOUR PRAYERS, in our behalf, are NEEDED and REQUESTED.
LOVE OFFERINGS and SPECIAL FINANCIAL GIFTS are still a major part
of the SOUL WINNING EQUATION!
We are good soil for you to sow into. Many are joining the Issachar
Team and I need them.
If you pray daily and are capable of sending one monthly offering,
of ANY amount, you qualify for membership in the Issachar Team.
We are the ones who understand the times and know what the church
must do, 1 Chronicles 12:32.
Onward Christian Soldiers!
