Dear One, Happy New Year! We will finish up the great prayer in Ephesians Three next week, Lord willing. But I thought I’d share some thoughts about the new year. Love you!

But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. Prov 4:18 NKJV

Collins got his first resurrection this week. After three practice sessions this year – the dead person stayed with Jesus – he got one that came back. He is leading a Holy Spirit Encounter this week with young people in Entebbe, and he was on the way to pick up Debra and Chrissie who had come from the USA to help when he got a phone call. A friend’s mother had died. She was stone cold dead when he arrived at the house – no pulse, no breath, cold and rigid. At this point my details are a little sketchy but apparently Collins and those present launched into furious tongues (James 5:15-18). There was an unsaved guy there who also launched into tongues (I suggested he might have been an angel). After about fifteen minutes of this she coughed and vomited and came back to life. An ambulance came and took her to the hospital, where she was released about a day later. Good job, Collins and team, and THANK YOU JESUS!

It’s the last day of 2022, and I want to tell you why 2023 is going to be a greater year of faith, of joy and of blessing for you and your people, and the whole world than the last few years have been, and even every previous year of your life.

Let’s examine the facts – Christians have forever feared a one-world government. We know now that we are living to a great degree under a one world government. In March of 2020 175 countries in a coordinated effort went into lockdown without any democratic processes involved. Countries that ostensibly hate each other, like Israel and Iran, coordinated together to enslave their people and ruin their economies. All but a few states and counties in the USA went into lockdown. A lawyer pointed out that COORDINATION is prima-facia evidence of CONSPIRACY. Thanks to Elon Musk, Dinesh D’Souza, Mike Lindell and many others, we know that elements within our own government conspired to steal a national election and install a puppet as president. So, here we are…things have never looked worse, but I’ll tell you that from what I see now, things have never looked better!

REASON NUMBER ONE

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, Jude 20-21 NKJV

You and I are closer to God than we ever have been, and we have more control over our faith, and thus our lives, than ever before. YOU HAVE GREATER CONTROL OVER YOUR FAITH, WHICH IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING, THAN EVER BEFORE. If you don’t succeed at first, you keep trying and building up your faith until you succeed, like Collins did. You build up your faith by praying in tongues, by reading the Word, by practicing the Word faithfully and fervently. Faith is mathematical, quantifiable (MT 9:29), and as it grows, so do your results.

Consider how powerful and important praying in tongues is…

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Rom 8:26-29 NKJV

Don’t take verse 28 out of context. Its in the context of praying and interceding in the spirit, praying in tongues. ALL things – good, bad, indifferent – work together for good, the best possible result, when we love God and pray in the Spirit. When our biggest donor cut his tithe by 25% this summer, I didn’t feel sorry for myself, but I added an hour of praying in tongues everyday to my schedule. I practice what I preach. I can testify that God is working, and we are growing! You control your faith through the powerful tools of the Word and the Spirit of God.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5-6 NKJV

The word of wisdom is the problem-solving anointing on an individual basis, and the genius anointing on a macro basis. There are answers right now that we can employ, and are employing to deal with these KOSMOKRATORs, these world rulers of darkness (Eph.6:12), so dear one, let’s not ‘wake up and give up’ at the same time. Employ what you know and seek God to learn more. You have great reason for hope because you can receive revelation and, just like Collins, operate in the power of God!

And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity… Jer 29:13-14 NKJV

REASON NUMBER TWO

We have each other. We are in a great crisis, but we have a great Father, and we have a great family. One time when I was traveling, Carl heard that our local water might be tainted, so he rushed over here with five cases of water for our family. That’s family! When our house almost burned down in 2020, the family of God rose up to pray and support us until the crisis was past. That’s family! I have never appreciated the family of God that we enjoy and born-again ones like I do now. I know that when my faith is weak your faith will be strong, and we will be more than conquerors.

REASON NUMBER THREE

We have the answer to everything – Jesus. The reason why the world always tends towards slavery and slave systems of government is because they are slaves in their nature to sin. It is their default setting. They are most comfortable in a slave system, which is why democracy is either diluted or fails in non-Christian countries. The unsaved man is a slave by nature. But born-again ones have FREEDOM in their nature. Born again ones are never comfortable until they are free. This is true even in the Church.

Don’t believe all the doom and gloom that is preached. We have been in ‘the last days’ since the day of Pentecost almost two thousand years ago. I absolutely believe my grandchildren, and their children will have greater freedom to enjoy life than I even have right now. But its going to take work!

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Eph 6:10 NKJV

The answer to the world’s situation is go out and share the gospel with these lunatics. Paul was a persecutor of Christians but – guess what? – he got saved! Simon was a sorcerer and bewitched a whole city (kind of sounds like our governor!) but – guess what? – he got saved. You and I were lunatics but – guess what? – we got saved! Believe for great influence. Have strong, sound opinions and expect people to listen to you. John Wimber said that faith is spelled R-I-S-K. Go out and get involved. People will follow strong leadership and we need to be the influencers, the ones in charge.

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. Prov 11:11 NKJV

This year of 2023 you and I are going to get closer to God than ever before, and we are going to see greater fruit in our lives than we have ever experienced. It is not going to be easy, but it will be immensely satisfying. We know that we have eternal life, so to borrow a phrase from contemporary culture we are ‘playing with the house’s money.’ We can’t lose! We own the future by our faith and prayers. The 100+ million Chinese born again ones are living out the prayers of Hudson Taylor and others. The 700+ million of us born again ones who speak in tongues are living out the prayers of Charles Parham, William Seymour, John G Lake and others. WE own the future – not the KOSMOKRATORs, not Soros or Marx or Xi Jinping. America will be saved. Your home will be saved, because you pray and declare the will of God will be done there. It’s going to be a great year! Amen? Love you!

Remember dear ones, we must be about our Father’s business…
