YESTERDAY – TODAY – TOMORROW
Wednesday – January 1, 2020, Tevet 4, 5780
Greetings dear saints of God and Happy New Year! May we shine with the glory of God in 2020 as we walk in obedience to God, to the Word of God, with a willing, joyful, heart. God is good and nothing but good. Whatever is any of our lives that is not good it was not put there by God and is not the will of God, period. Today will be more of a report concerning this Ministry than a teaching per se with some Prophetic Insight thrown in. This publication is not brief, prepare yourself to read carefully and thoughtfully. The featured picture for today is of a sunrise and the sun is arising on the Church, on America, even in the midst of shaking and apparent turmoil. We are not to focus or be concerned about the shaking but focus on God, on the Word, and we will walk untouched on a safe path. The turmoil is not of God but the thrashings of the devil. Not long and there will be a great calm.
Mark 9:25-27 (KJV)
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
Jesus is not rebuking the foul spirits in the earth today; He is at the right hand of the Father seeing to it that our decrees according to the will of the Father are performed. More and more people of God are becoming effective in spiritual warfare and the devils in their lives are being defeated. The Prophets are releasing the will of God into the earth. Light is rising and darkness is rolling back, and extreme wickedness is being exposed. A wave of righteousness is not only poised to engulf the Church (must happen first) but to engulf America and then explode in the earth. We dear ones are on the cusp of some extraordinary events, supernatural events, will of God events and they will occur in response to our obedience and the faith filled decrees that follow. Will we, each of us, choose to do our part? The Lord said to me in my prayer chamber, some will receive and some will not.
The prayer of this Ministry Leader is for a rising hunger for God, for the Word, for the manifestations of God in the people and ministries God has brought to us. I pray for a cleansing fire in each of us. As we push into God with great hunger, we will see areas that need repentance and the fire of God will incinerate the sin. Yes, dear saints there need to be a time of great change brought by great repentance. If you are not feeling hungry for God ask Him to help you and then confess that you are hungry for Him (calling those things that be not as though they are).
Romans 4:17 (KJV)
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
With this hunger and repentance will come a rolling or bellowing glory (manifestation of the goodness of God) in our lives for all to see.
John 14:21 (KJV)
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Continue to decree that our nation is returning to the old path, the solid foundation of the Word of God.
Jeremiah 6:15-17 (KJV)
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
This describes our nation; many will obey the Lord and not only ask for “the old paths” but will walk in them and be pleasing to the Lord bringing great blessing to themselves and all around them. Which of us will choose to be a blessing source and which will choose to be a source of the curse? The Lord has said to me that the day of extended mercy is coming to a close, the window of opportunity for the wicked in and out of the Church is closing. On the 19th of April 2019 it came to me that a day of woe is at hand (Isaiah 5:20 and following). Judgement starts with the house of God and then to the wicked outside the house of God. On the other hand, a mighty army of priests, kings, and ambassadors of God are arising in the earth to do the works of God. Which group will you, will I choose? The foundations of not only the nation but the Church are out of course (Psalm 82:5) but there is a resettling coming, coming soon. Righteous judges are being reestablished in the nation, judges that know the laws of the king (nation) and know the laws of God (Isaiah 1:26, Ezra 7:25-26).
Now, I want to talk for a little bit about this Ministry. Many of you know that I retired (semi-retired) from Medicine in 2016 in a time of personal stress, moved to Maine (at the direction of God) in 2017 and both 2017 and 2018 were very stressful years on many fronts. At the end of 2018 light came back into my life on two fronts. One was a limited vision of an expanding spiritual circle, spiritual connections. On a personal level Donna came into my life on the 19th (Bible number of faith) of December. The spiritual aspects of our lives and the ministry have literally exploded in wonderful ways. The personal aspects of our lives are absolutely over the top as we enter 2020. All of what the enemy meant for Donna’s destruction and mine in years past the Lord has and is using to perfect us for His glory and our good individually and in this ministry. This ministry in the past has primarily been a teaching and prophetic ministry and that will continue. The teaching and Prophecy aspects have been and will continue through The Three Minute Word publication and various speaking engagements.
Late last year the Lord moved on Donna’s heart concerning a Women’s Conference to be held at our home Church, New Beginnings Church of God, on the 30th of May 2020. The theme will be “The Virtuous Woman” taken from Proverbs 31:10-12. It is in Donna’s heart and mine for this to be a start not a singular objective. We believe the Lord wants this ministry in partnerships with others to be the premier conference organization of our region if not the nation. The conference planned for the 30th of May will feature an Anointed woman of God from Texas, and also a good friend, by the name of Denise Steiwig. She has over forty years of ministry experience. She has been tried and was not found wanting. You will not be disappointed.
Some years ago, in Texas we had a vision of a Ministry that would reach out to Pastors in distress. That never came to fruition. It has sat on the shelf so to speak. Recently I received a prophecy that it was time for me to take the things I had put on the shelf and thought would never be off the shelf and they would indeed be a reality. It was this call to minister to discouraged, distressed Pastors and their spouses that was being talked about. We obtained counsel from several respected mature people of God and all concurred that their spirit was in full agreement. Thus, Sabbatical Moments was born. If you are aware of a discouraged, distressed Pastor and spouse please bring them to our attention. I am told that some 1700 pastors quit each month. You will be hearing more and more about this arm of Eastern Gate Ministries International as well as the Conference arm in the near future. I expect all the women reading this to be signed up for the Women’s Conference as soon as available.
Please know that Donna and I appreciate and love each and every one of you. Those who are partners (contribute financially to this Ministry) are prayed for daily and you are walking in our grace as well.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
