2009 Newsletters

December 2009 Newsletter
I believe this to be one of the most important letters I have ever written. Every one of us that truly believes the Word of God understands that we are that final generation. How we react to it is going to determine whether the multitudes in the valley of decision will be saved or not. "Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD" (Joel 1:14).

November 2009 Newsletter
As most of you know I am passing through one of the most difficult times of my life at this moment, but I am sure there is a purpose in the whole. I have for some time begged God to not let me die until we have shown this poor, deceived generation His power. Somehow I feel this is all connected. The reason I feel so strongly about this is because this attack on me has produced a world-wide prayer meeting.

October 2009 Newsletter
Everywhere you look there are those signs that say to the elect, "Jesus is Corning." There is no doubt but what we are witnessing the 'perilous times' spoken of by the Apostle Paul. Every nation on earth is in turmoil, and the problems are with perplexity. But with it all, this is no time to be discouraged, for these are the very conditions that create for the "True Church" her greatest opportunity.

September 2009 Newsletter
It is with great heaviness of heart I write these lines. The world stands on the threshold of a night so dark it will make the dark ages look like noon day, and the Church, for the most part, is oblivious to what is happening. All the while multitudes are in the valley of decision begging somebody to show them the way back to reality. You and I must rise up to the occasion.

August 2009 Newsletter
I come to you in the Name of Jesus with the most challenging message of our time. Never since the Book of Acts has the possibility of reaching our world been greater. Brother Wellington, the general superintendent of the Assemblies of God in Brazil, has opened the door for the School of Christ to seventeen thousand pastors representing millions of believers.

July 2009 Newsletter
Three weeks ago a man of God who has been greatly involved with the School of Christ called me to tell of a vision God had given the night before. He and his wife were awakened at two o'clock in the morning by two rays of light streaming into their bedroom. They both were frightened by the awesome presence that came in with that light.

June 2009 Newsletter
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost". These were Christ's final words to His Church, final things are lasting things. When a man speaks what he knows to be his last words he weighs each word carefully.

May 2009 Newsletter
I have never written a letter that I felt more to be the will of God than the letter you hold in your hand. The principles laid down here will, if put into practice, bring you into a relationship with the Lord that you never dreamed possible.

April 2009 Newsletter
With the Lord, a negative may mean a positive. Are you destroyed? Is your root consumed with fire? Is there no strength left? Let us look to our Lord and expect Him to come into our hearts every moment. "Though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God." "If we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: if we suffer, we shall also reign with him."

2008 Newsletters

December 2008 Newsletter
The stock market has plummeted; trillions of dollars have been lost. Why is this important to you and I? It is important because Jesus had more to say about money than He did about heaven or hell. This is God's way of telling His elect that we have put our trust in the wrong place.

June 2008 Newsletter
These people are desperate, they have lost everything and their government refuses to let outside help be brought in; this is the time to show them the love of Christ. God's promise is; "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again" (Prov. 19:17).

April 2008 Newsletter
Looking at the news, the threat of world war III, the rising cost of gasoline, the declining dollar, the constant threat of terrorism, and the political turmoil, the future seems bleak indeed. But when you can see beyond the seen and catch a vision of what is going on in the spiritual world you understand that we are now living in the greatest moment of history.

2007 Newsletters

October 2007 Newsletter
Who of us has ever understood the agony and suffering our Lord went through as, alone with God, His Father?

August 2007 Newletter
As I write this letter I am preparing to go to Iraq, so, by the time you receive this letter I will be there ministering to two hundred, mostly, new converts. For sometime I have felt very strongly that "NOW" is God's time to pour out of His Spirit upon the Middle East.

July 2007 Newletter
I have just returned from Israel, the tension was so thick you could almost cut it with a knife, everyone is expecting the worst, and they expect it to begin this summer. I conducted two conferences while there, one down in the Galilee area, and the other near Jerusalem, and in both places I taught fourteen lessons on where we are on the prophetic time table. It was a very moving time, for all present knew that we have come to the end time.

June 2007 Newletter
When a nation comes to believe that homosexuality is normal; When the highest court of the land declares that pornography has art value and at the same time declares the Bible to be harmful; when Hindu prayers are allowed to be prayed and classes on witchcraft are taught, but God is not allowed in the school, a reprobate mind has gained the ascendancy, judgment always follows.

May 2007 Newletter
God's word is; "I love them that love me" (Proverbs 8:17). How do we love God? We love God by obeying His commands (John 14:15). Every promise in the Word of God is preceded by a command; God's word to us is; If you love me by keeping my commands, I will love you by fulfilling the promise.

April 2007 Newletter
Obedience is the very essence of faith. Faith is always the power by which a man gives himself up to an unseen object, and receives it into his heart and being. It is impossible to receive God without receiving His will. Therefore, to have God's best, obedience must be the one thing our heart is set upon.

March 2007 Newletter
Today, perhaps as never before, the Christian Army faces a godless world. It is a little army, ravaged by modernism, infidelity and idolatry. Half blind she sees men as trees walking, not being able to see Jesus clearly, like the Galatians, she cannot trust Him absolutely. To continue as we are, spells defeat.

February 2007 Newletter
I greet you from Southern Ireland where I am currently conducting the School of Christ. We have students from all over Europe, and I am persuaded that we are at this moment fulfilling the vision of Hudson Taylor. In 1874 he saw a move of God begin in Russia spread to Europe and then Jesus came.

January 2007 Newletter
When we ask we must be prepared to move. Until we act upon what we know to be the will of God we have not believed. This is brought out so clear in the life of Abraham. "Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him as righteousness." Why? He simply believed what God had said, and willed to obey.

2006 Newsletters

December 2006 Newletter
We are on the threshold of the greatest break through in the Middle Eastern world in its fourteen hundred year history. It is with great conviction that I make this statement; Pentecost is about to explode across the Middle Eastern world and thousands are going to be swept into the Kingdom of God.

November 2006 Newletter
We are about to witness the calm before the storm. It is during this time, when the world will think peace and safety, that the hordes of Islam, inspired by Satan, and led and armed by Gog (Russia) the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, will wage an all out attack against Israel.

October 2006 Newletter
He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. The deepest suffering taught Him the highest lesson of obedience; when he had yielded His will and His life, His obedience was complete, and He Himself was perfected forevermore.

September 2006 Newletter
This is the ground of faith. This is the only place where we have a right to claim any of God's promises. So long as we want the blessings for ourselves they are selfish blessings. When we relinquish our rights and claims and take everything only for Christ, then we can take anything from God because it is for God we are taking it.

August 2006 Newletter
If the Bible was written on the basis of spiritual principles there is something, which is spiritual behind every story. A careful reading of the scriptures reveals that there are different categories of spiritual greatness. That principle is; it is possible to be first, second and third rate people spiritually.

July 2006 Newletter
God has opened an unbelievable door and made possible beyond our fondest dreams. The Holy Ghost revealed to Stephen a program whereby we could put the School of Christ in twenty or more languages at one time. The opportunities that are ours today may not be possible tomorrow! We must act now! We must act decisively!

June 2006 Newletter
I come to you with a burdened heart and troubled spirit. As I look at the gathering storm, especially in the Middle Fast, knowing from the secular news that in a very short time Iran will have nuclear capability to totally destroy Israel. Israel cannot and will not let this happen.

May 2006 Newletter
This is not the ordinary monthly letter, neither are these ordinary times. There are one billion, five hundred million souls in South East Asia. Hundreds of millions more in the Middle East, and only three percent have ever heard the Gospel of Christ. A great door and effectual is opened unto the School of Christ and there are many adversaries.

April 2006 Newletter
In Acts Chapter two the Apostle Peter preached the first Christian sermon that had been preached. Now we are curious to know what will be its effect apart from the audible voice of the Lord. So we listen to the first sermon without this visible presence, and when it is concluded, we read - "When the people heard this they were pricked in their hearts."

March 2006 Newletter
When a man speaks what he knows to be his last words he weighs each word carefully. The scriptures we have used were Christ's last words to His Church before He ascended. "Go ye therefore and teach all nations," with that one word in His heart He sat down upon the throne, expecting, longing, that every man, woman and child would hear the good news.

February 2006 Newletter
Our greatest need in this critical hour is men and women who simply accept what Jesus said as truth and act upon it. The blind man of the Bible had a simple theology, but oh, what a powerful theology. "One thing I know..." he cried. In that one statement, he brought to the world more delivering Gospel than all the arguments and disputations his learned oppressor could present in a thousand years.

January 2006 Newletter
All of us are aware that we live in a very turbulent time. The entire earth seems to be beset with perplexities; filled with doubt and uncertainty men are open and looking for someone to lead them out of this confused state.

2005 Newsletters

December 2005 Newletter
A great part of the Pentecostal Church has lost faith in the power of the Spirit, and is now attempting to substitute human devices for spiritual power. We must go back to divine wisdom, to the living power of Jesus Christ, back through prayer to the source of all power.

November 2005 Newletter
Time is of great essence, what we do we must do quickly, in spite of the danger and problems we can still go, but we know that door will not remain open for long. God has put a plan in my heart whereby we can touch every part of Pakistan in a very short period.

October 2005 Newletter
Isaiah was characterized by intense and invincible reality. In his powerful preaching and denunciation of sin he foreshadows John the Baptist: "Unless ye repent ye shall all likewise perish." Isaiah does not buy the humanistic approach; he never consulted the psychologist, or polled the people. He denounces corrupt judges, and usurers; he pronounces judgment on all who are lifted up in their own eyes; those who are given to wine; those who call good evil, and evil good, that put darkness for light.

September 2005 Newletter
There is a fundamental difference between the appeal of a mass movement and the appeal of a practical organization. The practical organization offers opportunity for self-advancement, it appeals mainly to self-interest. The appeal of Christianity, especially in its revival phase is to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. "A true believer is one who is willing to sacrifice the present for the future." Let the Church challenge the believers with such an appeal and they will rise to the occasion.

August 2005 Newletter
The first evidence of this supernatural calling was the way the School moved across the world once it was born. In twelve years and nine months the School of Christ is in over one hundred twenty countries and has brought the message of Christ in reach of over two-thirds of the world's population. Not since the Book of Acts has the Gospel been personally, by living disciples, carried to so many nations in so short a time.

July 2005 Newsletter
When God spoke to Israel through the prophets, the one thing He asked was a heart that did not harden itself. How much more does He claim this, now that He speaks to us in His Son? As the soil must be broken by the plough and softened by the rain, so a broken and tender spirit is the first requisite for receiving the blessings from God's word.

June 2005 Newsletter
"Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people; for all the earth is mine:" (Exodus 19:4-5)

May 2005 Newsletter
"For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargements and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy tather's house shall be destroyed; and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14)

April 2005 Newsletter
To those of us who truly know the Lord, it is a great day to be alive. Surely we are the people upon whom the end of the age has come. The Apostle John looking ahead to our day made this statement. "The harvest of the earth is come."

March 2005 Newsletter
The choice Jesus Christ made at Gethsemane cost Him everything. It cost Him His life. But in giving His life, Jesus never lost it. He multiplied it tens of millions of times in the souls that were saved.

February 2005 Newsletter
I believe God wants the witness in India to be personal; these poor, all but forgotten people need to personally see and feel the compassion of Christ through a living disciple, and you and I can make it happen.

January 2005 Newsletter
The year 2004 has been a year of victory beyond my ability to put in words. In my last letter I outlined to you the progress of the School of Christ, and how it is literally touching millions of lives. Now as we enter the year 2005 the possibilities for the Gospel have never been greater.

2004 Newsletters

December 2004 Newsletter
The reports from these students, concerning the results of the School in their country, is like reading the Book of Acts. We are literally going into all the world. The end is about to come.

November 2004 Newsletter
To break the powers of this demon ridden age, we must have more than a new program of religion we must demonstrate Christ alive.

October 2004 Newsletter
Over the past few weeks I have experienced a heavy spirit of travail for the two thousand million souls, now living, who have never once heard the Name of Jesus.

September 2004 Newsletter
Never in history has the command of our Lord (I Corinthians 15:34), "Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God, I speak this to your shame," been more relevant.

August 2004 Newsletter
"If any man will be my disciple, let him first deny himself..." In these words, Jesus set before us the only path that leads to the kingdom of God.

July 2004 Newsletter
I believe God spoke these words of Isaiah to my heart and wants me to share them with you who stand with me in this final harvest.

June 2004 Newsletter
The law of sowing and reaping is as unchangeable as God Himself. The Psalmist wrote in the 126th Psalm and verse 6; "He that goeth forth and reapeth, bearing precious seed shall doubtless, come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."

May 2004 Newsletter
Here is a people with a passion so pure it held no hope for personal gain, no selfishness, no self centeredness, no seeking for an easy way, no cowardice.

April 2004 Newsletter
This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. What a wonderful time to be alive.

March 2004 Newsletter
"There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt." (Ecclesiastes 5:13) We have a choice; we will either sacrifice ourselves and our wealth, or sacrifice a generation to eternity in hell.
