* GOD MOMENT - CLEMENT

 

I was in the office many years ago when suddenly there was a knock at the outside door.  I opened the door and there stood a young man about thirty in shorts and flip flops.

 

“What kind of ministry?” the man asked.

 

“Come in and see,” I responded.

 

Once inside we sat down, and he said he was from Africa. 

 

“I’ve been to Africa,” I said.

 

“I’m from Ghana,” he replied.

 

“I’ve been to Ghana,” I said.  I think he was starting to smile.

 

“Accra,” he said.

 

“I’ve been to Accra.”

 

He liked that.  And then he said, “I’m a missionary from Ghana to the United States.”

 

And he said his name was Clement.

 

He talked about Christians in Ghana and divine healing.

 

I said, “we heal people.”

 

He seemed incredulous about that, that anyone in the US did that.  He just couldn’t believe from what he had seen of American churches and Christians that anyone in America healed anyone.  Evidently he had not yet seen any ministry in the US that operated in the gift of healings, in the Holy Spirit.  He certainly had not seen our ministry.

 

And we talked some more.  He even gave his insight on what was wrong in our area, and in his words it was the large protestant denomination that dominated the area and is not spirit filled and does not operate in the Spirit or the gifts.  I understood his point – the issue was the people not knowing the Holy Spirit.

 

I continued to talk about our ministry, our working to fulfill God’s call on my life, healings and such and soon we were warm and friendly.

 

I think we said a prayer together.  He gave me a telephone number where he could be contacted.

 

Then he walked out the door.  I went immediately to the door and looked out, but he was not anywhere to be seen even though there was an open parking area outside our office door.

 

Some months later we were dealing with a large number of young people – mainly middle school age – in Ghana who were following our ministry and had requested CDs and Bibles.  We had been sending them these things.  I had some questions about all this, and I thought of Clement from Ghana.

 

So I called the number he had left.  I left a message on a recording. I asked that whoever received the message get it to Clement, and said that I wanted to see him.

 

A few days went by.  Then a telephone call.

 

“This is Clement,” a deep voice said.  I invited him to the office.

 

The next day the doorbell rang and there he was again, dressed exactly as before.  He came in.  We talked about the young people and their requests, about what was going on with them, about Ghana.  Cathy came by the office and sat in with us.  And then we all held hands and prayed.   The Holy Spirit presence was strong, and Clement had tears in his eyes

 

Then he left again.  As soon as he left, I went to the door and looked out.  Just like before, no one was there.  Nothing as far as I could see.

 

I had one more contact with Clement.  One night at our weekly program Spend an Evening with Jesus, I was speaking to the group when I saw him sitting halfway back.  I was talking and moving down the aisle, maybe praying, and I put my hand on his back.  He smiled.  A few moments later as I talked I noticed he was no longer there.

 

That was the last time I have seen him.  I think you know who Clement was.  Another of God’s messengers sent to encourage us in the role God has called us to and to help us move on.

 

It is an amazing life – and often a challenging one – once you make that decision to follow the Lord at all costs.  But the benefits, the blessings, the peace, the revelations, are all beyond compare.  And the wonders have never stopped.

* GOD MOMENT: ANOTHER ANGEL

 

It was a terribly hot and humid day many years ago.  Cathy and I had been spending all day searching for a place to move in the Wilmington area.  Long had we wanted to live near the coast and this was our opportunity. 

 

About four or five in the afternoon we were back in the middle of Wilmington near the famous Riverwalk.  We stood hot on the street corner and saw a small store across the street selling cold drinks, so we stepped out to cross.  Cathy had seen it first and she was already several steps ahead of me.

 

As I walked in the crosswalk, I saw a disheveled, dirty man carrying an unkempt bag over his back coming towards me.  He looked tired and down and out, and I just knew he was about to ask me for money.  But I was so tired, so wet from perspiration and the beating down of the August sun all day, and I just didn’t want to stop.  I wanted that cold drink and I walked determinedly right past him.   

 

About two steps past the man, I suddenly had a revelation.  “That was an angel!”

 

I immediately turned around.  He was not there.  No one was in the crosswalk.  He had just vanished.

 

It had been a test.  And I said to myself, “failed that one!”

 

Wonder how many times in life we encounter people God puts in our path that we are there to help, and we just pass them by?  Wonder how many times that person is an angel?  This time, he really was.

* GOD MOMENT: ANGELS

Back in 2017 and 2018 we sent out a series of GOD MOMENT emails, accounts of clear and obvious direct involvement of God in our lives.  Most of those described specific divine healings or miracles.  I think we all surely need the encouragement of those wonderful events today in these difficult times, so we will again be sending out a GOD MOMENT periodically.

My thought is to begin by focusing on encounters with angels.  Most believers love to hear about real life encounters of people with angels.  I expect some of you may even have had such an encounter.  Remember, we know from Hebrews 1:14 that God has sent his angels to serve those who will inherit salvation – in other words, all you believers. 

You likely all know about the dramatic encounter I had with an angel in the car accident in Beverly Hills many years ago.  If not, you can read that account by going to our website and clicking on TESTIMONY in the menu column.  Or you can read Appendix 3 of our book WAKE UP AMERICA! 

The angel in the car accident appeared in human form.  Often that is the case.  But now I am going to tell you of the time I encountered three angels not in human form but truly ethereal.  They were white and translucent.  I could see through them.

This is how it all happened.  I was in another city and was to speak at an evening service.  The music leader was leading the praise and worship, and I was sitting on the front row as I always do so I am ready to go up when it is time for me to speak.

It was a joyous time and people were singing and praising God.  As the music and singing continued, I looked up and there right at the podium stood an angel.  He was just as I have described.  I could see right through him.  He was about eight feet tall and he may even have had one arm on the podium.  Yes, he had arms, although I couldn’t really distinguish much below his waist.  The white just went down to the floor and was in a way “flowing.”  There were two more angels on the stage.  One further back and one to the right by the door off the stage.

When I saw the angel by the podium, he looked directly at me and smiled!  Then he suddenly motioned with his arms that the podium was mine, that it was ready for me.  Both arms were pointing at the podium.  And so I went up to begin.

I do not remember when they disappeared, but it seems to me they were not there when I got to the podium.  At least I could not see them anymore.  I did not say anything about the angels to the audience.  

A few days later I was back in our office when the telephone rang.  It was the music leader who had been there that night.  He called to tell me that he had been contacted by a couple from another city who had been at the service.  They had come with their young daughter.  The reason the music leader called was to tell me that the couple said when they got home their daughter had told them about seeing the angels!  How wonderful is that!

I don’t know how many saw the angels that night.  It may have just been that girl and me.  But it was one great moment of encouragement for me to say the least!

God bless you all.  Keep your eyes on Jesus.  He is never going to lose any of you.

SIGN OF THE TIMES: LIVING AND SURVIVING IN THE MIDST OF ABSOLUTE EVIL

Absolute evil.  That is what we are seeing so blatantly in America today.  Of course, most believers in Jesus have recognized evil all about in this world on an on-going basis.  And probably most nonbelievers surely see some aspects of evil.  But overall the secular world just doesn’t comprehend it or understand it.

Attempting to explain the horrible violence such as happened in El Paso and Dayton, various politicians and media reporters focus on gun control again and again or look into individual problems like mental illness.  Or drugs.  Or just turn to such catchall phrases as racism.  The fact remains, what we are seeing is a very visible, undeniable display of out and out plain absolute evil in all its perverted glory.

The mayor of El Paso got it right in an interview when he described what had happened as absolute evil.  That’s it.

The devil is running amok these days.  His time is limited.  We are nearing the end. 

So many who do not know Jesus are easy prey for his talents.  Remember, he is the father of lies        (John 8.44).  People who do not know about the spiritual realm and about how to use God’s tools for protecting themselves have no defense against the wiles of the evil one.  No unbeliever can stand against demons and evil spirits and most certainly against the devil.  No believer can either, except by standing in Jesus, by exercising faith and using the tools God has provided.

Look at how empty unbelievers are:

·         They don’t know God has sent his ministering spirits – his angels – to serve those who will inherit salvation.  That service certainly includes protection. (See Hebrews 1:14). 

·         And they don’t know about all the protective armor God has given us as described by Paul in Ephesians 6.

·         They don’t know that a true believer in Jesus can, in Jesus’ name, cast out evil spirits, as Jesus said in Mark 16:17. 

·         And they don’t know that a born again, spirit filled believer can discern spirits, can discern when there is danger about, can discern which way to go.  The gifts of the Spirit, the extraordinary guidance of the Spirit, are of indescribable value to the born again, Spirit filled believer (see John 14-16; 1 Corinthians 12, 14).

So many things God has done to equip the believer.  So much he has for us. 

And you as a believer, a born-again, Spirit-filled believer, have those skills and can take advantage of all this in this world.

For more on all this get our CDs The Holy Spirit, Fighting Evil, Your Authority in Christ, and more.  Watch our videos on these subjects on our website or on YOUTUBE.  Read the past newsletters that focused on this, such as the March 2018 one.

And get out there and do all you can to help others find the Lord.  Give them our book WAKE UP AMERICA! – JESUS IS COMING SOON.  Tell them about good and evil, about Jesus and what he has done for them.  Tell them about all the authority a believer has. 

These are the last of the last days.  As the angel said to Daniel in the last chapter of the book of Daniel in the Bible, the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.(Daniel 12:10).

True believers operating in the gifts know what is happening.  They can take action.  And they keep their eyes on Jesus. 

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS.

HE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.

ONE MORE TIME.  HE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.

Those killers in El Paso and Dayton did not know Jesus.  They did not know his limitless love, his forgiveness, his caring.  They did not know his and the Holy Spirit’s and God the Father’s guidance for life.  They did not know the words of the Bible are true and real and full of life.  They did not know there is more to life than what they were experiencing, more than the great darkness and loneliness and emptiness. But they did know this – they knew the devil, whether they recognized him or not.  They knew darkness, they knew evil, they knew the direction of the evil forces.  And they acted on that. 

The devil is real.  So too demons and evil spirits.  But God is far more powerful.  Everything ever made is under Jesus’ feet.  In him, we can prevail.  Do that.  Prevail.

Remember again what I am always saying – be alert, be ready for the Lord to come.  In his words to me years ago, be alert, pray for the lost, seek him with all your heart.

Peace.

Maranatha.

GOD MOMENT: THE KEY PROBLEMS

Life was hectic.  I was regularly traveling more than three hundred miles between my home in Connecticut and my new office outside Washington.  At the same time my daughter was planning to be married soon, and to top all that, my wife was continuing to fight unidentified health problems. There were just lots of things to worry about.

Late one Sunday afternoon, my wife and I stopped at a supermarket to pick up a couple of items.  Returning to our locked car, we couldn’t find the key!  A quick look through the car window showed us where it unfortunately was.  Man.  I didn’t need that, as I planned to drive to Washington as soon as we got back to the house.   I telephoned for help, and eventually my daughter and her fiancé came to the rescue with another key.

Returning home, we strangely encountered another key problem.  The downstairs bathroom door was locked.  Looking around I could easily see that everyone was in view, so why was it locked?  How did that happen?  I was getting a bit unraveled.  We kept a key above the doorframe for just such an instance, but now it too was missing.  An intensive search began by all, but we just could not find that key.  I was becoming really anxious from the time spent on these lost key incidents because I had to leave soon.  What could have happened?   I’m sure by my behavior I was making everyone around anxious as well.

After several minutes of searching and while everyone else continued to look, I walked upstairs and into the master bedroom, dark at the time and only lighted by the hall light coming in the door.  Through that dim light I could see lying on the bed a church program, and sticking from the pages of the program was unmistakably the key to the downstairs locked bathroom!  I was stunned.  The air in the bedroom was electric, and the hair on my arms seemed to be standing on end.  I sat down on the bed and picked up the program.  Slowly opening it, I realized it was not from the current Sunday but from a Memorial Day service weeks before.  In the program was a paragraph stating that flowers were given the church that Memorial Day from my wife and me in honor of our deceased fathers.  I sat in the dark for several moments, trying to think.  I was in shock.

Finally, I stood up and left the room, going downstairs to report my find.  Everyone was surprised and said they had not placed the key there on the bed.  It was obvious they were telling the truth.  But unmistakably someone had put the program and the key there, and had locked the downstairs bathroom.  That someone was an angel, of course.  This was a sign that could not be ignored.  Gradually I realized the message:  You are not alone.  Don’t worry so much.

In a small but unforgettable incident, God had stepped in to remind me he was there, to put things in perspective.  Still later I thought about Christ’s admonition in the Sermon on the Mount not to worry about my life.  I was back in focus.
