GALLUP,
NEW MEXICO -- Pastor David Tappen came to the
Brownsville Revival with his wife in March of 1997. From
that time on the supernatural has moved among the
congregation of First Assembly of Gallup, New Mexico.
INDIAN
NATIONS ARE TOUCHED
Surrounding
Gallup, New Mexico are four Indian Nations that have more
than 360,000 people. In Window Rock, Arizona is the
government seat of the Navajo Nation.
Most
of the stirring of the Holy Spirit at First Assembly is
among three Navaho people. This congregation is
alive in the presence of God. These people are
deeply committed to reaching the Indian Nations of this
area. God is moving among the Navaho through this
ministry. Tonight The Ambassador of the Brownsville
Revival will be in Gallup at First Assembly for the next
two days. The manifestations and the power of God
was displayed last night as Prophetic Evangelist Jerrell
Miller of The Remnant spoke. Miller says that he was
led to this area after his friend John Davis spoke to him
about the move of God among the Indian Nations here.
THE
BROWNSVILLE AMBASSADOR
It's
a beautiful day right now as the sun is setting in the
mountain that surround this painted desert. The area
looks much like Israel. The momentum toward revival
will push even harder tonight and tomorrow as the power of
God is released through Evangelist John Davis.
JOHN
DAVIS IS ANOINTED OF GOD FOR THIS HOUR
by
Editor Jerrell H. Miller/Prophetic-Evangelist
MOBILE, AL -- We are basically a news gathering revival
paper -- since the first time we traveled to Sikeston,
Missouri to cover Evangelist John Davis we have been
blessed. John Davis is known as the Ambassador of the
Brownsville Revival but he has become more than that lately.
God has decided to bless this man of God. As I sat in
a church of 3,000 and watched a great man of God preach the
Word of God I was impressed by the great knowledge of this
individual but when John Davis began to preach something
entered the room that was not there before he got there.
That night I saw something in him that was far beyond the
explanation of the seriousness of this event. There is
something on the man and it is supernatural. Many
people laugh at this mans jokes in the pulpit and no doubt
he is a very funny man, but the power of God that flows
through him is a direct result of a touch he received early
in revival at Pensacola.
ALL
REVIVALS ARE NOT
THE SAME
As
an editor I drop in on revivals all across the nation but
the very thing I understand about this subject is the fact
that some have a presence of God and some are still
being guided by the hand of man. Many do not know this
but we were in Pensacola before there was a revival.
Let me tell you the before and after of revival.
Pensacola is the greatest thing that has ever graced the
denomination of the Assemblies of God in this country.
This move of God is still alive and it is centered around
the leadership of its Pastor, John Kilpatrick. Let
those be aware of some things -- many have come and gone
from that revival but John Kilpatrick is the same man that I
met in the Summer of 1991 as he is today in the Winter of
2003. Knowing and watching him all these years has
taught me something about ministry. When he is in the
house things are right. Many today know that his
leadership is of great value. As I have traveled from
California, England, France and into Africa the Brownsville
Revival and the Toronto Outpouring is known by those who are
seeking God.
GEORGE
MILLER WAS MY FATHER
We
ask for prayer in this country right now -- I
will travel to a town in New Mexico on Thursday that bares
the name of the ship (USS Gallop) my father was on in
World War II. He was one of the first six
ships to return to Philippines in the Second World War and
was in the greatest navel battle in the history of man, The
Battle of Late Gulf. The sunken ship of the Japanese
Navy are still at the bottom of that gulf but a greater
battle for men's souls is going on now. Pray for
the Brownsville Revival and its leader John Kilpatrick -- he
has been in revival for the last seven years. His
dream is to touch other pastors in this nation and yet
maintain the fire in his own church. How sad it would
have been for all of us if he hadn't paid the price in the
last few years. Hell has turned up the heat on this
great church. The fire that hit the revival
church last year has taken all this long to repair, because
of delays the projected finish of the sanctuary repair has
been extended. We need Pensacola's Revival, pray for
the leadership there. I bare witness of the character
of this revival and we ask God today to bless those who are
there and we tell them from our hearts that if there hadn't
been a Brownsville Revival this country would even be in
greater danger and closer the a more sure judgment than it
is today.
PENSACOLA, FL -- It was
to be a day of healing, a time of renewal and a day to
close old wounds. Old friendships were renewed. The
who’s who of the Brownsville Revival was there. The Lord
our God was smiling for sure!
When we arrived at the
church at 8:00 AM there was already a line waiting to get
into the sanctuary that stretched to the street. A fine
mist of sleet was falling. When I found Donna in the line
she was standing next to one of our close Brownsville
friends James Moody. I said to James what some of my
cattleman friends say when they see something a little
unusual. "I have been to a goat rop’in and a county
fair but I haven’t ever seen anything like this."
Here were grandmothers many in their 70’s+ sitting in
aluminum lawn chairs waiting to get into the church. A
group of ministry students had come out at 2:30 am to be
first in line. Of course there some youngsters in short
sleeve shirts freezing. You see dear friends there is
still a fire for revival and a move of God at Brownsville.
The problem with commitment is NOT with the congregation.
If a thousand people will come and stand in the cold wind
at 8:00 AM on Sunday morning with sleet falling they have
not lost their hunger for God nor their commitment.
Why had all of these
people come out at 8:00 AM when church usually starts at
10:30 AM? It was going to be a day of reconciliation
between John Kilpatrick and Michael Brown. If you are
going to have a family fight, the best part is always the
kissing and making up. Today was to be a day of making up.
Differences of opinions and pride do not have to lead to
permanent separations. Today was to be an example to the
Christian community that renewal and reconciliation are
possible. Lindell and the Brownsville choir opened the
service. The service was capped off by the praise and
worship team from Fire International.
Pastor Kilpatrick opened
the service by introducing Dr. Michael Brown and his wife
Nancy to a standing ovation. Dr Brown said, " What
God has done is truly amazing. As real as the pain was of
separation, so is the happiness of reconciliation."
The shofar blast signifies total forgiveness! All offenses
and wrongs are forgiven under the blood of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Kilpatrick
called Mr. and Mrs. Brown to the front of the platform. He
then told Charlie to bring the bag to him. He pulled out a
pair of hedge clippers. The clippers were a symbol just as
the arrows were to the king when Elijah told him to strike
the ground. Brother Kilpatrick then went around the Browns
clipping around and over them from head to toe. He was
snipping everything that had been said them. Any and all
curses, criticism and discouraging remarks are cut off of
you. Pastor Kilpatrick then spoke a blessing over Dr. and
Mrs. Brown. The leadership of Fire International was ask
to stand and be recognized. Pastor Kilpatrick then spoke a
blessing over them as well.
Dr. Brown then made a
presentation to pastor Kilpatrick, giving him a plaque
with Hebrews 54:17 inscribed in Hebrew upon it. A plaque
was then presented to Dr. Brown recognizing his
contribution to the Revival. Along with the plaque he was
presented a framed picture of Pastor Kilpatrick, Steve
Hill, Lyndell Cooley and himself taken during the Revival.
Dick Reuben was then
called to the platform. He was thanked for his
contribution to the early Revival days. Dr. Brown and Dick
Reuben both having Jewish roots brought the Revival
wonderful teachings. Pastor Kilpatrick then read 2
Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold
are become new."
TAMPA, FL -- Rodney
Howard-Browne spoke about the loss of his daughter Kelly
at the 11:00 AM service at The River Church in Tampa,
Florida. "Christmas morning at 4:37 AM I gave
my biggest offering ever." Kenneth, Rodney's son said
on the way to the church, "Dad you can feel the peace
all over us, the prayers of all those people have put us
on a Spiritual High. Rodney used the scripture of
John 14 in his sermon. He spoke and said that he had
heard from so many people the entire week.
While Kelly had died on Christmas Day Rodney asked if the
funeral home would bring her to the church so he could
pray for her resurrection on Monday, January 30.
"It was so beautiful, when she was laying their and
we were praying for her you could feel the peace of
heaven. It was so strong I likened it to the deepest
experience you have ever had in the Holy Spirit multiplied
by 1000 times. God was all over us. At 5 PM we
committed her to the Lord and she was buried on
Tuesday." It was a powerful day and an usual
day at the church in Tampa. Rodney said that he had
heard every major figure in the body of Christ this week.
This has brought many people together and has served as an
open door for revival. To read the entire story on

ORLANDO, FL -- We are
currently in Orlando, Florida where the temperature fell to
32 degrees last night. I saw Mickey Mouse in the
parking lot looking for his coat. We go into this year
to begin our tenth year of editorial. With so much at
hand right now we are pressed to publish once again our
Fasting Edition for January. On January 14 we will
once again go to the people of God to ask them to fast and
pray at the beginning of the New Year.
HUNGRY PREACHERS
Cleddie Keith will begin a
series of Hungry Preachers Conferences this year. Charles
Bowman will host the first conference and that will begin at
the end of February and end March 1. If any of you
attended the one in Sevierville last year, you will probably
never forget the power of God and how it swept the people at
the Church of God there. Cleddie Keith will be with
John Davis in Hardeeville and if this meeting is anything
like the last one you will not be disappointed.
WE NEED GOD'S HELP
The above picture is a
picture of Judean Desert, it was here where Jesus asked for
the favor of the Father before He began His Ministry.
We can only reach out to God and ask, He is the one who
supplies the revelations, He is the one who brings the
harvest. We have had a very successful re-subscription
drive in November and December. While this paper was
once built around the Brownsville Revival we have changed
very much since that June day in 1995 -- while we pray for
Brownsville as their sanctuary is restored from the July 4th
fire, we also see a new vision of revival as many are
touching the heart of God. . The one thing
we heard as we spoke to the people who re-subscribed to the
newspaper was how much people loved the newspaper.
I-55 RE-FIRES IN
MISSISSIPPI
Our friends at the I-55
revival are exploding. Evangelist Steve Foss has
spoken to the pastor and says that the glory has returned in
measure. Foss has been in New Zealand but is scheduled
to return to the call of revival near Jackson, Mississippi.
Next week while we are
editing the January Edition we will be in revival for one
day in Hurley, Mississippi. Pastor William and Lisa
Hancock have asked me to come for one day next Sunday for a
revival service. On Monday we will be at Abundant Life
Tabernacle in Hardeeville, South Carolina to cover
Evangelist John Davis. Davis carries a heavy river
anointing, he is no doubt one of the most in demand
evangelist in the land today. One thing about the
Hardeeville Revival, it has a power force of intercession
behind it. The refreshing has grown deep and strong,
the Hungry Preachers conference with Cleddie Keith, John
Davis and Pastor Charles Bowman is something we will all be
looking forward to. I can't tell you how much the
Hungry Preachers Conference touched this ministry last year.
Bill Johnson At New Freedom
Don't forget that New Freedom
Church will host Bill Johnson very soon near Dothan,
Alabama. Many consider Johnson one of the best teachers in
River move of God today. He Pastors Bethel Assembly of
God in Redding, California. The beauty around his
church near Mt. Shasta is awesome, looking out from the
Alabaster Box Prayer Center you can feel and sense the move
of God.
Well I thought I would
lay out our agenda, hope you enjoy the fasting paper.
We will preview this edition on the web over the next few
weeks -- if you are not a subscriber call and subscribe. The
next edition will be one of best edited products on fasting
and prayer. Call to subscriber 888 755-9145, to God be
the Glory. Once again I want to thank all that
subscribed in the last three months, we have been touched by
your loyalty. Editor Jerrell H. Miller/Prophetic
Evangelist.
TAMPA, FL -- Last Summer I
visited Rodney Howard-Brownes' new church in Florida.
I saw Kelly Howard-Browne sing. I never knew
that Rodney and Adonica had a child that was physcially
limited. God chose to take her home on Christmas Eve
night. We at The Remnant are saddened to hear the
news. We call a blessing this morning over the
Howard-Browne house, and stand with them in their loss.
Editor & Publisher Jerrell Miller, The Remnant.
This is the
offical notice from the Brownsville Assembly of God on
Michael L. Brown and John Kilpatrick
On December 12,
2002, Pastor John Kilpatrick and Dr. Michael L. Brown met
together privately for three hours for the purpose of
reconciliation. As a result of that meeting, they have
issued the following joint statement: "We are pleased
to announce that a complete and total reconciliation has
taken place between us. We have no outstanding issues, nor
is there a hint of bitterness or unforgiveness between us.
We fully bless one another, and we fully bless one
another’s respective churches, schools, and ministries.
We know that many believers were deeply hurt by the breach
that took place exactly two years ago, and because of that
we ask the forgiveness of the Body of Christ worldwide and
the forgiveness of the Body in Pensacola in particular. We
desire to be examples of unity and grace, not division and
strife, and as the Holy Spirit has indeed done a
supernatural work and there is not a hint of ill will
between us and a real sense of friendship and trust has
been totally restored, we pray that the Holy Spirit will
work supernaturally in the hearts of all those who have
been wounded by the separation. May healing and grace be
released! May restoration come! May unity replace
division! May the reality of Psalm 133 touch each and
every one of you as it has touched both of us, and may
this announcement of the gracious working of the Holy
Spirit bring a special added joy to you during this
holiday season. We give all honor and praise to Jesus our
Messiah, our Lord, our Redeemer – and our blessed
Reconciler. "How good and pleasant it is when
brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil
poured on the head, running down on the beard, running
down on Aaron’s beard, down upon the collar of his
robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount
Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life
forevermore" (Ps 133:1-3).
At this time of the year, it is common to quote the words
of the angels spoken in Luke 2:14, "Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!"
Pastor Kilpatrick and Dr. Brown are thrilled now to be able to
extend blessings of peace and good will to all after two years
of hurt and pain.
There will be a joint service on Sunday morning, January
12, 2003, at Brownsville Assembly of God that will be attended
by both the leadership and congregations of Brownsville and
FIRE. All are invited to participate in this special
event!"
Prayer Targets For
The Nation of Israel
ATLANTA, GA -- The
Prophet Jim Goll was at the meeting as he sounded out the
targets of intercessory prayer for Israel. The one common
element Goll directed his message to in each incident of
intercessory prayer was repentance. When God would use
someone it would often be from a humbled position of
humility. In one incident when the Temple of the Lord was
finally built by the son of David, Solomon he illustrated
it through scripture. "Solomon humbled himself as a
king to identify the sins of the Nation of Israel. That
day the Lord showed up in a mighty presence as the priest
went into to dedicate the Temple of God. (1 Kings
8:41)"
Jim Goll Battles Cancer
Jim Goll was very
excited about being at the conference. Recently he has
been through radiation treatment for cancer. This was his
first conference back after going through the treatments.
"Many people have been praying for me and I
appreciate it. I noticed a growth on me in August that
began to grow rather large in a short period of time. The
growth was as big as a cluster of grapes and you not just
feel it, but you could see it. After 25 radiation
treatments there is no sign of the cancer anywhere. We
will not have the full results on the treatments until
later but as of now it looks as if it has been completely
arrested."
Repentance Through Godly
Leadership
"Moses fasted 40
days and nights to touch the heart of God for Israel.
Moses cried out to Israel because of it’s sin. When God
was ready to destroy them Moses had God’s ear thought
the power of intercession." Again as Goll taught on
the target spots for intercession in Israel he emphasized
one element that took God away from the nation and the way
God came back into the picture. God used Moses to go
before the people to spare them because of their sins.
Goll used the scripture of Deut 9:18 And I fell down
before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty
nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because
of all your sins which ye sinned in doing wickedly in the
sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. Like in
many revival settings Moses went before God and reminded
him of his promises to his people. Deut 9:29 Yet they
are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou
broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched
out arm. This got the attention of God and preserved
the future generations until the redemption of man came
forth from these rebellious people out of the seed of
Jesse.
Goll took the group
through many scriptures that posed the leaders of Israel
as each went before God to plead the case of the people.
Jesus was the last to plead the case of the people until
Israel was finally vanished from the face of the earth in
70 AD -- the promise of the return was seen in 1947 and
now intercession has started in a new way by the people of
the earth who know the prophecy and timing of the second
return of Christ.
ATLANTA, GA -- It
was at the Capitol Plaza Hotel near the Olympic Site. You
could still see the giant construction where the Olympic
Flame burned during the Summer Olympic just a few years
ago. It was a place in Atlanta where all the nations met
to compete in the Olympics, but from December 5th to the
7th Barry Segal came from a land that could rally all
nations to conflict one day. For Such A Time As This was a
conference to renew the bonds of several Christians with
the Jewish State of Israel. In the book store you could
pick up bumper stickers that say, "We Support
Israel." Spirit-filled believers came from all over
the United States to participate in the music, the dancing
and the prophetic roles the speakers would play during
this event.
On the eve of the
Sabbath, Barry and Batya Segal celebrated the Shabbat on
Friday, December 6, 2002 . As young girls danced and the
Hanukkah Candles burned for the eight day of a nine day
celebration. Segal spoke on the struggle of Israel during
the difficult days of bloodshed and terrorism his native
country.
Segal spoke of
the time that several Christians went to a Catholic Church
to celebrate and worship together. "We came that
night and it seemed as if we were lost and caught up in
the worship. More than six hours passed as Christians felt
the place explode with the presence of God. We had had
draped flags over the statues and the nuns were into the
worship as well as several Ethiopian Jews who join with us
as the glory fell."
It was a
beginning of sorrows because the next day, Arial Sharon
would walk up on the Temple Mount. Palestinians rioted
near the Temple Mount as the simple as Sharon walked near
the Holy Place of Zion just worship his God. "This
seemed to be the beginning of the unrest that has lasted
for the last two and half years. It seems as no Jewish
family has not suffered from terrorists bomber in this
period of time. The slaughter of several families in
Israel has caused a grief to cover the land and a
heightened awareness of the birthing of the coming of
Christ.
Barry Segal is
the founder of Joseph's warehouse a humanitarian outreach
to the Palestinian and Jewish families who have need in
the City of Jerusalem. To subscribe to The Remnant 888
755-9145.
ATLANTA, GA -- It will be
just three days but it will mean so much to so many back
home in Israel . We had just come to Jerusalem
at sundown just a year ago. We pulled into a warehouse
full of medical supplies, cloths and many other objects that
could help in the struggle of both Jew and Arab. In
the Joseph's Warehouse we found two nurses from Germany who
were organizing trauma supplies for the local hospitals.
Needless to say the trauma supplies were used very much last
year with all the terrorist attacks at the population
of the tiny Jewish Nation. Everything we saw and
heard that day touched our hearts as we begin to understand
the mission of Joseph's Warehouse. Hospitals, school
children and poor Jewish and Arab citizens come to this
ministry for help at one time or another during the year.
It is so important that we bless Joseph's Warehouse in
Jerusalem at this time. The blessing of this
country is that we have always supported the Jewish Nation.
HARDEEVILLE, SC -
Has it just been five years since the door of Heaven opened
up in a small South Carolina/Georgia border town? Palm trees
mark the way to the small hamlet called Hardeeville. We have
seen revival history come out of this move of God. There has
never been a great move of God within this area and the high
water mark of the Spirit can be felt in this situation, but
the real story of this great outpouring of the Spirit is the
relentless determination of Pastor Charles Bowman.
Twenty-eight years ago, Charles Bowman decided to change
denominations to begin a work called Abundant Life Assembly
of God. If you know anything about the pastor of this
church, you know how much energy he puts into everything he
does. There have been accomplishments stemming from this
small church, evidenced at the local high school where you
can see "State Championship" baseball pennants. It
was the dream of Pastor Bowman to start a community church
that would express itself in excellence, but one thing was
missing - the Spirit of revival.
Charles Bowman knew something was happening in the city of
Pensacola [Brownsville] and in his desire to witness a move
of God first hand, he got in his car early in 1995 and
headed toward that seaside city. It would not be his only
trip, either, as Pastor Bowman has made the 500-mile drive
from Hardeeville to Pensacola more than 30 times. In his
heart, he knew that what was going on in Pensacola could
also happen at Hardeeville, even though his church could
only hold a maximum of 200 people. Bowman came to revival in
Pensacola one Thanksgiving and noticed Evangelist John
Davis. Davis was taking up the offering just before Steve
Hill began to preach.
Bowman heard the Voice of God direct him to approach Davis
and ask him to come and preach. Many people at the church in
Hardeeville had begun to prepare the way to revival through
prayer. Bowman didn’t know it then, but God wanted to come
and visit this part of South Carolina even more than the
people there wanted Him to come.
Right after Christmas, John Davis (Ambassador of the
Brownsville Revival at the time) called Bowman and said he
would come for one Sunday. Although Davis was preaching
revivals in Canada, Ft. Worth, and several other places, and
finding the time to come to Hardeeville would be difficult,
he let the Voice of God rule over his personal schedule. He
phoned Pastor Bowman and told him he felt it was time to
come to his church to preach.
When Davis took the pulpit at Hardeeville the first night,
he could feel the glorious weight of the Spirit of God in
the church. Intercessory prayer had moved him into a
position of sensing the Glory of God. It takes an evangelist
to stir a move of God, but first it takes the people of God
calling upon Him for years to experience the real fullness
of the Spirit. At Hardeeville, Charles Bowman’s enthusiasm
had ignited the people to strive with all their hearts
toward revival. In subsequent weeks, the true Glory of God
began to appear. John Davis is an experienced evangelist and
he knew he was in the right place for a move of God.
While the revival has now lasted for 5 years, there have
been times when Davis was not the main evangelist. Wayne
Neal from Missouri was there for a short period of time. He
was followed by Dr. Larry Martin. After Dr. Martin was
called to teach at the Brownsville Revival School of
Ministry, Wayne Neal came back for a brief period. Then for
the last year John Davis has been back in the saddle. The
glory has even intensified over last few months as Pastor
Bowman and his intercessors have sought to touch the heart
of God. Recently, Pastor Bowman visited the "Glory in
the River Conference", in Charlotte, NC, where he was
deeply touched through the ministries of Mahesh Chavda and
Chris Harvey. The blending and impartation of these
ministries have pushed the Hardeeville Revival
to a new level.
After Pastor Bowman returned from Charlotte, Davis
couldn’t make a vital plane connection for the Monday
night revival. God stepped in and gave Bowman a message
entitled, "Tap Tap Tap". In this powerful
presentation, Bowman spoke about the last moments of the
Prophet Elisha as he called King Jehoash forward to anoint
him and give him guidance. Israel was seeking victory
against the Syrian Army. Bowman spoke about passing the
anointing on to the next generation and how the current
generation didn’t care about the things of God and were
not willing to work toward His Glory. Just as Elijah had
passed the mantle on to Elisha, Elisha wanted to pass that
mantle on to the king. The prophet asked the king to pull
out some arrows and beat them on the ground. Each time the
king beat the arrows on the ground would represent a victory
over the Syrians, but when the king only hit the ground
three times, the prophet was angered. Elisha died an angry
man because the king did not insure the future of Israel.
The arrows hitting the ground represented a half-hearted
response and a sure failure of the future of Israel. Even
today, because of the tap tap tap of King Jehoash, the
Nation of Israel faces the third largest army in the world
on their border to the north.
Bowman had a hand full of arrows in his hand and every time
he mentioned the half-hearted response to revival, Bowman
would beat the ground three times with the arrows. It was a
powerful illustrated sermon that got the attention of the
people that night, but the real action occurred during the
altar call as Pastor Bowman asked Jerrell Miller to assist
him. What followed was pure glory. Even Pastor Bowman said
the after glow and the altar prayer was one of the most
powerful the revival has experienced. The glory was on the
people in a mighty way as Miller and Bowman waded into that
charged atmosphere to lay hands on and speak over them. The
level of anointing began to increase as Miller spoke
prophetically and went toward the intercessors to pray for
them. The power of God was in the service. Pastor Bowman
asked Miller if he could return next week. Miller agreed.
The week after Pastor Bowman preached "Tap, Tap,
Tap", John Davis delivered another anointed sermon.
Davis preached on the seven mountains of God and how they
relate to a believer’s victory. Mt. Sinai represented the
Hill of Holiness; Mt. Carmel represented the hill of fire
and priority; Mt of Temptation represented the hill of
preservation; Mt. of Transfiguration represented the hill of
His Glory; Mt Calvary represented His hill of love; and Mt.
Zion represent the city of God and His providence. It was a
powerful demonstration of preaching, but early on, Davis
could sense that God wanted to move into the altar service.
Davis called Pastor Bowman and Jerrell Miller forward once
more to pray and speak the Word over the people. Once again
the Glory was in the house. During the service, Pastor
Bowman called Craig Rymal, a local builder, forward to give
a testimony of giving. Rymal spoke about how God directed
him to move from Southern California to South Carolina so he
could build new homes. He spoke about how his giving had
opened up his business standard to a level where it has
never been before. Rymal spoke of two individual
construction projects that were called in by phone that had
brought him a harvest on his giving.
It’s apparent that the Spirit of revival
and renewal are in the Carolinas. From Charlotte to
Savannah, the Carolinas are on fire, as several pastors in
the area have visited Hardeeville to bring the glory of the
impartation into their own churches. Roger Quisenberry,
pastor of First Assembly of Walterboro, is one of them.
Walterboro is a beautiful South Carolina city, its streets
are lined with oak trees, but the real beauty can be found
in the new sanctuary at First Assembly. Evangelist John
Davis is now coming to the church once a month and as Davis
began to preach on a recent evening, once again the altar
service seemed to be the order of the night. He said that
the night would be a night
of new beginnings.
"Many of you think that you are at the end of your
road," Davis encouraged the people, "but if
you’ll just look to the right, it’s just a bend in the
road."
John Davis has been up one side of the
Carolinas to the other and everywhere you go you hear the
testimony of his value. One mother talks of a son delivered
from drugs, while another talks of a son in seminary. He has
done an eternal work that has captured the eye of Jesus. The
trail of what he has done cannot be measured by the physcial
eye, but the eternal value of what he has done will live for
an eternity.
MOBILE, AL -- David had
five smooth stones before he launched one to drop the
giant. Who are the giants in our lives? A giant is anyone
who has more resources than you and has the ability to
cause you harm without you having any recourse.
I am puzzled and
disturbed about the facts that sometimes never come to the
front. Watching Prophet T. B. Joshua in Lagos, Nigeria I
found a true man of God who was deeply involved in the
healing of his nation. We have heard much about what is
wrong with this man from a publication known as Charisma.
Since we have published our last paper we keep hearing
from ministers and people from around the country who have
had a personal experience of going to the Synagogue Church
in Lagos, Nigeria.
My first experience of
meeting Marvin Gorman and listening to what he had to say
about T. B. Joshua made me very curious about what
Charisma Magazine was saying about the man. We
looked into some of the articles written by Charisma
Magazine and then we noticed they were not written
by staff members, but are written by other ministers
in Pentecostal leadership in the city of Lagos.
Then a very
respected Children’s Minister called me one day and said
he had called Editor Lee Grady of the Charisma Magazine
and told him to pull back from criticizing T. B. Joshua.
David Walters said his brother in law was involved with
the Joshua ministry at the Synagogue Church and said that
what the articles in Charisma Magazine represented was
very far from the truth. Recently this same minister did
an article about the man that Rhinehard Boonke who had
raised a man from the dead. I really believe the man
was raised from the dead, but the man who wrote the
article about the resurrection was the same man who wrote
the article on about T. B. Joshua. At the end of the story
this writer mentioned that he could not obtain a death
certificate on this man, and yet this man who wrote the
critical article about Joshua said that official documents
from the Health Ministry in University of Lagos in Nigeria
were false. Wait a minute, you mean we are supposed to
believe the Boonke resurrection without proof and yet when
T. B. Joshua’s people show proof of their healing this
man labels it as a hoax. I believe its time for Charisma
to send their own reporters to situations that demand
truth. What is at risk is Charisma's credibility and
who they have put at risk with pure rumor is T. B. Joshua.
It's called slander without concrete evidence.
Joshua's people do not allow anyone to sit in the healing
gallery with HIV positive without a certificate saying
that they have HIV positive. Are we to believe that
thousands of documentation of HIV positive from Lagos
University have been falsely drawn up. I witnessed
these people coming in the gate at 6 PM in the morning one
Sunday. I was free to stand there and no one told me where
to go or what to watch. As they were interviewed by the
ministry associates, the ministry associates asked them to
provide proof of being HIV positive, I watched these
people send people away when they didn’t have a proof of
the HIV illness.
NO TRUTH IN ANOTHER
SITUATION
Last year when the
Brownsville School of Ministry separated and Dr. Michael
Brown started the Fire School in Pensacola I read in the
Charisma that the Brownsville Assembly of God Church had
split. We knew that the school had separated but at
the same time we also knew the Brownsville people were
very much together. People questioned the man who wrote
the article and told him that there was no split in the
church but the writer of the article said, "We stand
by our story." Even when something is not the truth
the people at Charisma will not correct it. This statement
was made by the same man on two different occasions.
THEY WILL GET SLOPPY WITH
YOUR NAME AND YOUR WORK
I don’t consider myself
to be a great journalist but I did go to the University of
Alabama and received a degree in journalism. I have worked
for three daily newspapers, and a national magazine for
Scripps Howard Newspapers. In all my training I have
learned one thing, unless you know it as a truth you do
not PRINT it. On the
25 year anniversary edition of Charisma Magazine I
took a picture of a white minister in Mobile washing a
black man’s feet. Charisma Magazine promised to
pay me for the picture. While the picture ran below the
George Foreman article and was identified not as my photo
but another newspaper in Mobile, Alabama. Charisma
Magazine never paid The Remnant nor did they ever give
accurate credit to the taker of the photograph who was me.
They gave credit in the following issue but they spelled
Remnant wrong and they spelled Jerrell wrong and no check
was ever sent to The Remnant for the publishing of the
picture. At the time I gave Charisma Magazine the
right to publish and stopped the New York Times in their
editorial review process of the picture. Every newspaper
has problems with proofing, spellings and several other
grammatical errors but one thing that most publications
watch is slander. Kathryn East's interview of Yan Venter's
quoted Venter as saying many people in leadership are
bothered by the statements of what is being made in their
publication. Venter knows African Church politics
and has served as the National Evangelists for South
Africa. Trust is a terrible things to lose from
the public eye.
"If we are supposed to be
so powerful how come we can’t intercede for the
finding of the gunman that is shooting people in
Virginia." Pastor Bob Gorton
UNION CITY, TENNESSEE -- Pastor Bob
Gorton, Evangelist David Kelly and Evangelist Jerrell
Miller came to Reelfoot Lake to talk about the great
earthquake that happened in the area in December of 1811.
Aftershocks from this massive earthquake were felt in
Atlanta, Louisville, and as far away as Boston, Mass.
The day was planned as Bob Gorton,
Pastor of Trinity Assembly of God took a friend and
Evangelist Jerrell Miller to see the Lake that was formed
by an Earthquake in 1811. Miller was into the third day of
a four day revival. On Monday night Miller made the
statement, "We are what we say we are?" That
statement captured the pastors mind. Bob Gorton said a
lunch that day, "If we are supposed to be so powerful
how come we can’t intercede for the finding of the
gunman that is shooting people in Virginia." It was
more than an idol statement as Gorton opened the revival
service on Wednesday night by asking the church to
intercede to find the gunman in the Virginia-Maryland
area. Once again he made the statement that the church
should be powerful enough to intercede in prayer to be
able to find the men who were doing this destruction to
these people.
Gorton didn’t know it but Evangelist
Jerrell Miller was going to challenge the congregation on
his last night in Union City with intercession as his main
topic. At the end of the service Miller called a young
family forward to be prayed over. On Monday the women of
the family was going to file divorce papers the next day
but the husband came to the church and accepted Jesus as
his savior. Evangelist David Kelly helped in the service
as he prayed over the pastor at the end. David Kelly is an
unusual evangelist, he uses the prophetic gift. The three
ministers flowed together in revival at Trinity Assembly
of God.
As Evangelist Jerrell Miller and Pastor
Gorton went home for a late dinner, Gorton turned the
television on to see how the World Series was going when
breaking news announced that two people had been captured
in Maryland and taken to the city of Baltimore. The next
morning authorities said that they believed the two were
the shooters in the Virginia-Maryland area where more than
10 people had been shoot at close range with a high
powered riffle. There was power in the small church in
Tennessee, and we will probably not know until we see
Jesus what happened on Wednesday night but the 80 people
who were in the church knew that God had moved through
dramatic intercession this night. Yes my friend when the
church is in revival God can do anything for his children
when they call upon him.
TORONTO, CANADA - It took The
Remnant seven years to visit the main stream of revival in
North America. Today, all over the world, the river flows -
from Pensacola to Holy Trinity Brompton in London, England.
There are so many revival stories to tell. The newspaper St.
Peter edits in Heaven is filled with pages and pages of
individuals and great churches that have been touched by the
Fire of this great event that happened more than nine years
ago. It might have taken US this long to come to this place
of glory, but make no mistake about it, the fire is still as
hot here as the day it started burning.
It started in a
place called Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Randy Clark, a
struggling pastor in the Vineyard Church of St. Louis,
Missouri, was told about a man named Rodney Howard-Browne
and the amazing things that were going on in his meetings.
Randy had completely given up as a man of God, but the Lord
called him to go to a place called Broken Arrow. What a name
for a place to have! The arrow in the Bible represents a
battle; the "broken arrow" is significant of those
who have lost the battle. Randy Clark had lost the battle
for his own ministry, but he gave in to the leading of God
to go to a place where there was teaching on prosperity.
Clark said that he didn’t believe in what these people
believed, but he would go in obedience to God.
Line
after line of ministers filled the building as a man from
South Africa walked through row after row of ministers and
lay people, just saying one word, "Fill." Randy
fell under the power and time after time, he worked himself
into the line to receive more and more of the River that was
flowing out of this man. This was no ordinary river and this
was no ordinary revival spirit, because what was given to
Randy Clark that day was an impartation for the final
statement to be made by a Righteous King. Jesus saw Randy
and his need, and as he returned to his small church in St.
Louis, Randy preached and then began to call his faithful
forward. That day, Randy knew something was different as
each and every person who came forward felt the power of God
as they dropped to the floor. For years, Clark had not seen
any power at all in his ministry, but this was a new day for
those who were there to receive.
Pastor John
Arnott, of the Toronto Vineyard Airport Fellowship Church,
called Clark as the news got out that revival had touched a
Vineyard Church in St. Louis. Randy Clark had gone across
the border and smuggled the goods into a church that would
touch the world! Mary Aubrey, who was on staff at the
church, remembers the night that the Spirit of God moved in.
"There were just a small number of people as I arrived
at the church. I opened the back door of the church and the
glory of God buffeted me with a warm blast." From that
day on, many broken arrows would come to the place that is
called, "The Father’s Heart."
Pastor John
Arnott stands big beside his small wife, Carol, but he has
greatness on his face. The first time I saw him, he reminded
me of Babe Ruth. Many look on Ruth as the Father of
baseball, the man who saved the game. In many respects, John
Arnott is like that big baseball legend. Any sports fan will
tell you that no man is bigger than the game, but many would
tell you if there hadn’t been a bambino, the game would
not be alive today. Arnott is much like that when you look
at the church. The church was failing and in a miserable
condition. The traditions of religion were seriously
challenging the future of what we know as the Christian
Church. Toronto was a door open to the broken arrows as
people found the fire warm in the Airport Church.
What happens when your own people go against you and say
that you’re wrong? Arnott was not willing to sacrifice
what he had for a denomination. As the Vineyard movement
wanted to move away from the Toronto Church, people like
Sandy Miller, Heidi Baker, Lindell Cooley and Brenda
Kilpatrick were finding their way to the carpet at the great
church. The great thing about this story is that it has not
been completely written yet. The Father’s Blessing in
Toronto has not reached its fullest dimension yet, and some
say that what was started in Toronto will Father the entire
world for revival before it’s all over.
Heidi Baker had an awesome vision in which she was directed
by God to forego a large meeting to return to Toronto to
receive a vision of the end time. In her vision, she saw
Chariots of Fire circling the world, with two saints
standing in each chariot. The saints have a golden sword in
their hands and they are poised to release their power upon
the world. Tied to each chariot are the reigns that go all
the way to Heaven and are held in the left hand of Jesus.
She said she looked up and saw Jesus lower His right hand
and say, "Now." As each chariot goes into the
world, it is ablaze with the Spirit of harvest and revival.
The places where it is received are enveloped in its flame,
but the places that withdraw are caught up into total
darkness. According to Heidi Baker, she believes that
Toronto is a place that will launch the fullness of the end
time upon the face of the earth.
This was our first time to go to revival in Toronto and we
were totally blessed.
Even now, Lord Jesus, come!
CHAROLOTTE, NC -- They call
it the "Glory in the River" conference. To me it
was a "Tent of Meeting," because God was present
the entire time I was there. I’ve never seen people
touched so deeply during a conference. Mahesh and Bonnie
Chavda have created a place of glory in the city of the
prophets, and All Nations Church has become a place for
those who are hungry for revival.
They had invited Chris Harvey this time. I remember being
with Chris in England and watching the old skeptical faces
of religion in that country burst into joy under a tent in
Brandford. Cleddie Keith always says, "There’s just
something about a tent…it’s a place where people lose
their religion and find God." During that meeting in
Brandford, we saw hurricane force winds try to blow the tent
down. The men were hanging on to the polls with the whole
meeting in the balance. But when the winds all settled down,
Chris Harvey and Ivan Tait ministered mightily.
It’s funny what can happen in the elements during one of
these tent meetings. In Charlotte, Mahesh got a single word
from the Lord for the people one night - "Shalom".
Mahesh was upset with the Lord. "Is that all You want
me to say - Shalom?" That night, however, Mahesh got
the full understanding of that word, as the same thing that
had occurred in England was happening to HIS tent. Just on
the edge of blowing away, after trying everything, Mahesh
remembered the word the Lord gave him. He said,
"SHALOM" over the sound system and instantly the
Lord calmed the storm around the tent. That’s the night
that Mahesh Chavda learned the meaning of the Scripture,
"Mercy is better than sacrifice." Why sacrifice
when you can do the will of the Lord, be obedient, and allow
Him to fix the problem you’re experiencing?
The patriotic presentations on Friday night during the
"Glory in the River" conference were incredible.
The person playing the role of the Statue of Liberty moved
from scene to scene where there was something happening that
required the touch of God. The amazing thing about this
situation was the moving of God’s Spirit over the tent at
that particular time. When the group began to call for the
Spirit of God to rain on us, it began to rain - outside the
tent! People who were on the grounds at All Nations Church
witnessed that while the group sang, "Spirit of God,
Rain on us," the only place it was raining at the time
was DIRECTLY OVER THE TENT - no where else!
Many supernatural occurrences have happened concerning the
Charlotte tent. It was not too long ago, as Mahesh spoke at
one of the meetings under the tent, that the glory of God
moved like a blowing wind. Cameraman George Payne, from
Andalusia, Alabama, caught the occurrence on video tape as
little shimmering particles of reds, blues, and greens
flowed through the top of tent as Mahesh gave the testimony
of the young man who was raised from the dead in Africa.
During the Glory in the River Conference, many people were
touched by the spoken prophetic word. Mahesh called out that
a person was in the audience who was a Florence Nightingale
from Israel. Mahesh said she had the eye of God. A woman
from Israel, Dr. Jeanne Garth, came forward to say that she
was a medical doctor who was an eye specialist that worked
in a Jerusalem hospital. Mahesh laid hands on her and
pronounced a 100-fold anointing on her life.
Mahesh spoke of the great lady, Ruth Heflin, who came to the
early meetings. Two years ago, September of 2000, Ruth
Heflin died, and last year we were at the same meeting in
September when comments made by Pat Robertson and Jerry
Falwell concerning the 911 events stirred such a
controversy. This year Ruth was missed, as manifestations of
the Gold Dust brought her to our collective remembrance.
Mahesh spoke about being delivered from intellectualism.
"I am very zealous to see the Bride of Christ be
captured under the glory. This is the difference that we
need to see in the body of Christ and is the pure difference
between the real Jesus of the Bible and the one portrayed by
religion. The crippled church has been sitting outside of
the gates of the temple asking for money - without knowing
it is to become the Bride! No longer does it need to beg and
walk like a cripple outside the door of the temple."
We have seen so many miracles of deliverance during these
times of prayer. Bonnie Chavda shared something that
happened just recently at the Watch that came through a
sign. "Someone had the vision of a Broken Arrow and
brought it forth," she related. "We began to
intercede and were led to pray for Israel. It was shortly
after this that Israeli intelligence discovered a large
truck of explosives that was heading toward Jerusalem. It
was so large that it would have caused the largest explosion
- within the walls of Jerusalem - in the history of
terrorism, but intercession caused the plot to be
revealed."
There are people who don’t understand the move of the Holy
Spirit in meetings like this. The fundamentalists, whether
they are Baptist or Pentecostal, always ask the question,
"Did anyone get saved?" I laughed and said,
"Yeah, I got saved." Doing this newspaper and
going on the road is sometimes grueling work. But then you
get a chance to be refreshed in a meeting like this. One
purpose of these meetings is to invite the Power of God to
restore, refresh, and deliver those who are in the throws of
the struggle of doing ministry. For example, four years ago
I met Chris Harvey for the first time at Heritage Fellowship
in Florence, Kentucky. It was at a low period in my ministry
life. I didn’t know who he was, but when he laid hands on
me, I felt a strong bolt of electricity go through me from
my head to my feet. I had been feeling as if I hadn’t
slept for several days, but after Chris touched me and spoke
a direct word over me, I got up from the floor feeling as if
I had slept all night.
It was the same kind of meeting Saturday night during Glory
in the River at All Nations Church in Charlotte. God was in
the house and as Harvey began to minister, he began to speak
to the hearts that were there that night. If you’ve never
heard this man preach, you would be shocked at how he
delivers the word. He preaches with a mixture of reality and
large doses of laughter. What happened on this Saturday
night was a complete restoration of the body. Chris began to
minister on the body of Christ and what opens the door of
revival. "You have got to be in love with the bride as
much as you are in love with the Bridegroom to have a
breakthrough and go to the next level. Very often, the Lord
is wounded when we don’t go to Him for comfort, strength
and correction. When you’re seeking God, you need to throw
away all of your agendas except your agenda from heaven. God
wants to purify and empower us with the Fire of the Holy
Ghost. He is a Refiner’s Fire. He wants to infuse all of
us so we can achieve the next level of His grace. Do you
want to go to the next level? In Hebrews 11:6 it says,
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for
he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he
is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
We must have a love for the body of Christ. We need to be
excited about someone else’s success. We know His nature
is in us when we are not jealous of another’s promotion or
blessing. When you get jealous and envious about the success
of another, you probably are not sure of what God has done
for you. Relationships in God change us from the inside out.
You have to make a decision to break the curse of your
family’s harmful habits. God will make you hungry for the
real things in life. God will cause you to have a
supernatural attraction to your brothers and sisters in
Christ. To start turning up the attraction factor, you have
to be so in love with Jesus that your problems will just
fall off of you. We have to become vulnerable before God so
that we are clothed with His righteousness. God will bless
you in the low places, butthe reason He wants to bless you
is to make you love Him only! The closer you get to God, the
more of the revelation of Him you will receive. Don’t run
away from the training times in the fire! He’s training
the horse to carry the King’s glory to other places. The
hidden parts of the Body are the most important parts.
Pride, selfishness, and stupidity can cause you to be
removed out of your place in the body. Chris read Galatians
5:17-26 and finished his sermon by saying that you must
pray, read the Word, and worship to keep yourself in the
presence of God.During ministry time, Harvey began to play
his Navaho Indian Flute and sing. The more he did so, the
more the glory of God flowed through the building. The glory
began to hit the first three rows on the right side. People
were staggered as they came out of their chairs and fell on
the floor under the glory. This was a deep time of
refreshing that went long into the night. Looking over the
church, it looked like a massive traffic accident as people
were wasted under the glory. Some had been prayed for and
tried to get up, but were unable to stand.
Who could say what this did this night, I can only speak for
myself. My wife and I came to the meeting with very little
sleep, but as we stood under the glory for those three days,
we received a refreshing charge to our batteries under the
anointed umbrella of All Nations Church. As we drove away on
Sunday afternoon, we felt as if we had touched the landscape
of heaven in that tent. I urge anyone who can to go to these
meetings. They will change your life and give you a view of
God that you have never had before. To Mahesh, Bonnie, and
the entire staff in charge of these events - thank you for
being totally free in the Liberty of God. It sure helped
revive a tired old editor and a stressed out hospital nurse.
Why take Tylenol to sleep at night? Just get under the glory
and you will never be the same.
MEMPHIS, TN — It’s the
fourth year of the "Eat Thou Honey" Conference.
On Saturday, Suzanne Hinn finished the conference. You
could say that Conference Host Darlene McCarty saved the
best wine until the last. Suzanne Hinn moved under the
most powerful anointing ever felt at Cathedral of Praise
Church in Memphis, Tennessee, according to Pastor Randel
McCarty. Suzanne started in the pulpit, but as she
delivered the word of God, she was moved to ask all those
who had lost husbands and loved ones to come forward, and
that is when the glory began to be poured out without
measure. As the ladies, along with men from the choir and
the general audience, moved to the altar, the glory of God
began to be poured. Standing next near the platform, I
could feel and sense a glory that at times was so strong I
could hardly stand up to take pictures. It all started
when Suzanne spoke about angels being commissioned in the
sanctuary. "God loves to hear His children call forth
as children," said Suzanne. "The greatest power
is silence, that’s when our bodies are totally given
over to God. At 17, I said that I didn’t want to be a
minister’s wife, but at 23 I was married to Benny. When
you love someone with all your life, there is a continuous
warfare that goes on. Benny said one day, ‘This is going
to make you angry,’ and then he proceeded to read an
article from a South African newspaper. A women was caught
shoplifting in South Africa and that story made one of
their newspapers. While it was complete lie, the story
remained on the Internet for several months. Our lawyers
contacted those involved, but these are some of the things
you have to put up with when you are in the ministry and
everything you do is public exposure. Benny sometimes will
call home and tell us how well it is going in the crusade,
but all hell is breaking out in California where we live.
This entire week was battle after battle before I got
here."
"Benny asked me to speak to our staff about
intercessory prayer. When we asked for a commitment for
prayer, some of our main people did not come up. I gave
them a choice, whether they wanted to be intercessors or
not. I was moved by their honesty, but God doesn’t give
us a choice in this matter. It’s time for us to hold up
the man of God. We are preparing His bride for the coming
of the Lord and the time is short. I had a visitation from
the Lord and felt as if I was going to go up. I went into
the bathroom to fix my hair and prepare, but I soon
realized now was not the time. That’s how the Lord will
come, you must be ready to meet Him as you are and live
each moment as if the time was now for Him to come. Some
of the reasons we get hit so hard sometimes is because the
intercession is not there. Prayer is just praying but
intercession is doing the will God for the moment at hand
and the place He has called us to pray."
"I thought that I had surrendered everything that
there was for ministry and then the Lord spoke to me,
‘You haven’t surrendered your dance." At the
time, I was Assembly of God and I told the Lord we don’t
do that, and then He told me, "you can stay at the
level you are now or accept what I have given to
you." There are two things my husband is impressed
with in ministry and that is the level of obedience in a
person’s life and a person’s personal walk (holiness).
We must walk holy before God to obtain His favor."
Following that statement, Suzanne called forth the altar
call. She had not been into the message but just a few
short minutes when the glory came into the house. It was a
divine interruption, as she ministered first during the
altar service and then she moved into the choir where she
went one on one with each member. This day was the glory
of God, but the entire "Eat Thou Honey
Conference" was touched.
On Saturday night as Darlene Bishop ministered, a member
of her church from Middle Town, Ohio was touched. Wanda
Daniels had quit singing in the choir after being struck
with asthma and the inability to breathe. She didn’t
think that she would ever be the candidate for a healing,
but as she became more obedient to God to work in the
nursery at the church, God began to show her she was going
to be healed. She had completely withdrawn from every
event at the church and her children were shocked that she
was going to come to the conference. Just before she came,
she saw a vision of her coughing up everything in her
lungs and being healed at the altar when Darlene Bishop
touched her. A woman from the group spoke directly to her
and said that she had seen the same thing. On Saturday
night, Wanda was deeply touched and what she saw in the
vision happened. Pastor McCarty gave her a choir robe to
put on as she sang in the Cathedral of Praise Choir during
the service. Many more people came to the altar healed of
cancers, and several other diseases. Darlene McCarty said
that more was done at this conference then she had ever
seen before. To view the testimonies of this three-day
event, you can log on to www.eatthouhoney.com. We just
visited one day to this conference and have covered it
since its beginning. There a total difference this year,
we could feel it.
Alma, An Awesome
Presence
ALMA, MICHIGAN - - It was the
third time that Editor Jerrell Miller had come to Alma Mt.
Hope Assembly of God in Alma, Michigan. The church was
celebrating the sixth year of Dale and Susan Sherby’s
ministry at the church. Miller had just returned from the
Catch the Fire in Toronto and the glory of God was on him.
In the two short services during the weekend celebration,
the Remnant editor, staggered by the Glory of Toronto, and
spoke about the spirit that is dwelling in this local
congregation. "I don’t know what it is about this
church. It’s not a large church, but God’s glory hovers
over it. It is very easy to hear from God in this place.
Dale and Susan have really birthed something there that you
very rarely see across the nation. It’s not about numbers,
because if that were so, Alma would not be in the running,
but it’s about His presence. God moves in this place so
fast you just wish it was like this every where you go.
"
Miller spoke about his travels to several places of glory
and how much it had changed his ministry. "I was told
not to go to Legos, Nigeria and visit The Synagogue Church,
but that visit has touched me so deeply. In this line of
work, when they tell you not to go somewhere, you quickly
learn they have something the others who are criticizing
wish they had. T.B. Joshua is one of the most outstanding
men in Pentecost today. I believe that when the truth gets
out about this man, it will be done in a secular newspaper.
I witnessed several people who had been healed of HIV and
AIDS. We were told that documentation was false, but when we
met a doctor from Botswana who had been healed, we were
convinced that Prophet Joshua was being used by God. I can
tell you one thing, since he laid hands on me, my ministry
will never be the same. Religion has dealt this man a harsh
blow. What bothers me most about his situation is that
western publications are using other ministers to write lies
about him. I learned a long time ago that the local
ministers will attack anything that works because of
ministry jealousy. In a revival setting, the greatest
opinion that is put forth is never put forth by religion,
but it is put forth by the people. Believe me, the people
know if you are real or if you are a fake. God’s doing
something in His body that can’t be done by religion. In
Pensacola, He came on Father’s Day after abortion doctors
had been shot in that city. In Legos, Nigeria, He has come
to a part of Africa that is reeling from an epidemic of AIDS
and HIV. God always comes to the places of despair."
"We are seeing the birth of a new type of ministry. The
critics can only pick and pull apart, but in the end, God
has the last say on these matters. Just like Alma Mt. Hope,
it’s a small congregation, but when the secret of their
glory gets out it won’t be small for long." At times
during the evening service, Miller was struck by the power
and drunk at times during the altar service because of the
glory that had touched the building.
TORONTO, CANADA -- Paster
Jens T. Mankel and his wife came from Frankfurt, Germnany to
be refreshed in Toronto. Jens is a Four Square Gospel Pastor
who is hungry for the move of God for Germany. Live
are being changed here under the anointing of the Holy
Spirit. The power that has moved all week in the
services has built to this point. Many are receiving
the anointing for revival. Prophetic-Evangelist Jerrell
Miller will be in Alma, Michigan this weekend to minster at
Alma Mount Hope Church in Alma, Michigan where Dale Sherby
is pastor. Remnant editor will return home on October
7th, 2002.
TORONTO, CANADA -- There
coming back to where it started, Pastor John Pressdee came
to Toronto early in this move and was violently touched by
the Holy Ghost. Pressdee said that it was such a
violent touch that the moment he came into the parking lot,
he began to be overwhelmed by the power and had to be helped
into the building. Last night he found himself walking
backward as people once again came to his aid to straighten
him up. This morning Pressdee brought a break through
in this conference as the entire sanctuary was set a fire.
People were praying and shouting at the top of their voices
as the passion of John Pressdee touched the huge assembly.
Pastor Pressdee is well known for starting the March for
Jesus as an overweight pastor he walked from one end of
England to the other to and got international attention as
the March for Jesus began to be an international witness to
the world. Today he is in good shape as walks to
Russian and through Germany have caught the attention of
hungry believers all over the world. Tonight Heidi
Baker the phenominal missionary will speak to the
conferecne. Pressdee really broke this conference to a
new level this morning.
TORONTO, CANADA -- Brenda
Kilpatrick has come a long way, when revival started in
Pensacola on June 18, 1995 she was just a pastors wife.
Today Brenda Kilpatrick has traveled the world with the gift
of a renewal speaker. No longer is it a struggle any
more as Brenda has spoken on several international
television program. Her first program was on the God
Network  in
England as a struggling Brenda Kilpatrick asked Ken Gott to
pray for her. During that program God anointed Brenda
to carry the message and carry it well. Many believe
that if Brenda Kilpatrick had not been obedient to go to
Toronto, then revival would of never happened in Pensacola.
God has used her to open doors for several ministers and
churches in the river move of God. On September 4th
she returned to the revival that helped light the fire in
Pensacola. Catch The Fire Television host John and
Carol Arnott are now on the national Christian Television on
the Inspiration Network.
TORONTO
,
CANADA
– It was four years ago a tired missionary named Heidi Baker
came to the Toronto
Blessing. She
was told by her missionary supporters that they would pull
their support from her if she went to the P place (
Pensacola
) or the T place (
Toronto
). Heidi said the
support amounted to 1 million dollars America money. John
Arnott asked if there was anybody in the audience from
Mozambique
– Heidi slumped down in her chair and then Arnott asked if
there was a person named Baker in the audience.
It was then she knew it was God and she became a
poster child in front of her supporters, as her life would
be changed in a radical way.
Heidi and her husband Rolland have done a work in
Mozambique
that has built more than 400 new churches in four years and
has touched more than fifteen other countries.
She might have lost one million dollars of support
but the power of God and revival is sweeping
Mozambique
by signs wonders and miracle.
The dead are raised, the blind see and the deaf hear.
Tonight Brenda Kilpatrick spoke about the learning to
fly. Her
experience in being a conference speaker has been a blessing
n to those who have followed the Brownsville Revival.
Brenda was a power speaker tonight. The altar call
was tremendous at the end of service.
Lindell Cooley led worship in the morning tonight and
early this morning.
