FROM THE DESK OF JOHN S. TORELL August 5, 2010
The month of July started out with a financial crisis as we were barely able to pay the rent on the church facilities for June and very little money was coming in during the first few days in July. The leadership of our ministry started to cry out to God for help because we would be in great difficulties if God did not move upon His people. The Lord prompted me to write a special letter to share with all of our friends throughout the world; it was placed on our website, handed out in the church and sent to our mailing list. God used the letter to give us a victory and suddenly money began to come in from all over as we heard from people from whom we had never before received any gifts and we realized that there are more people tuned in to our ministry than what we thought. The end result was that we were able to pay most of our current obligations; the only items not paid were salary for myself and social security taxes. We are greatly thankful to each one of you that helped us out during the month of July and made it possible to keep the ministry going. I am praying that God will move this month and increase our money supply so that I can be caught up in salary and that we will be able to pay the social security taxes. The key to future success with our finances will be for the new people who gave for the first time in July to continue giving on a regular basis and replace the radio listeners who have either died or are unable to give any more because of age. Since we are also ministering via the Internet, we need a broad base of new people who are currently involved with the ministry and blessed by it. GOOD NEWSThose of you who watched our webcast in July witnessed the joy of having the Timmerman family with us in church. Gert and Charmaine were born in South Africa and part of the white minority. God led them out of their homeland to settle in Belgium where they now reside with their three children. They found our ministry on the Internet around the time that we started the webcast ministry and consider us to be a “supplement diet” to make up for what they do not get at their local church. Some time ago they used our material to do deliverance on themselves and it has blessed them. Gert has since written two books that are published by us and also available on our website. They spent two days in Sacramento and Aina and I had the joy of taking them on a short tour to see the giant Sequoias just outside Arnold in the Sierras and then drove them on a fantastic alpine road over to Lake Tahoe where we had a chance to swim in this beautiful lake. The people in our church have been waiting for a long time to meet this family and after the morning worship service we had a great church family dinner where everyone had a chance to talk with them. If you have not seen this family, please look at the music and testimony video for July 18, 2010. Another reason to rejoice is that more and more people are watching us on the Internet and are now purchasing Christian Dynamics Course 1 and asking for help in deliverance. Gert and Charmaine are going to be our first deliverance team for Europe and we will have people traveling to Belgium to be set free from demons. Europe is much smaller than the United States and it is easy for people from the surrounding nations to travel to Belgium. I believe that this is just the beginning of a revival for people in Europe. Please pray for the Timmerman family that God will protect them, anoint them and give them great discernment as they minister to people in need. WARNING SIGNS
The World Zionist Federation leaders have been warning the world time and time again that they will not tolerate a nuclear armed Iran. The government of Israel has made it clear that there will be military action if Iran is not stopped from its nuclear ambitions. The American people are tired of the war in Iraq and the current bleeding of our troops in Afghanistan. Jewish world leaders know that the good will they have among other nations is decreasing and that more and more people see Israel as the bully in the Middle East. As a result, they cannot afford for people to think that Obama is soft on Israel and merely doing its bidding. So for the last year the propaganda machine has been spewing out the “news” that Obama does not like Israel and is tough on them. Do you recall when the Israeli prime minister came to make a visit to the White House and he was stiffed by Obama and not even given a lunch or a dinner? The American media made a lot of hay out of that. The real truth is that war with Iran has already been decided by the World Zionist Federation and Obama has been told to “get with it” and don’t worry about the upcoming elections. These Jewish leaders couldn’t care less if the Democrats lose both the House and the Senate this fall since they control both parties and do not care which party is in power. How close are the war plans at this time? Let me share some raw statistics with you and then you decide:
The sad news is that the United States has no stake in Iran. We have enough oil in the United States, Canada and other parts of the world that we do not need oil from the Middle East. But the World Jewish leadership for the last 50 years has made sure that the oil outside the Middle East could not be explored and developed. They want the United States and Western Europe to be dependent on oil from the Middle East so they will be forced to protect Israel at any cost. Israel is a nuclear nation with more than 300 warheads and missiles to deliver and cannot tolerate an Arab nation to reach the same level since it would neutralize Israel’s nuclear power much like the Soviet Union did with the United States during the cold war. Israel has a big nuclear club and the rest do not. In this way Israel can continue its brutal policies in the Middle East. The question is not “if” a war is going to break out but “when?” The Jewish leaders are not budging and neither are the Iranian extremists. Both sides are using their religions to whip up the people for war and neither has any regard for people. People are commodities that can be bought and sold and sacrificed if necessary. You never see the same religious political leaders leading the war; they hide in bunkers and watch the war on CNN while their young people are slaughtered. The world banksters (speculators) are just waiting for this war. They are ready as oil has been stockpiled at relatively low prices, and as soon as the war breaks out, the price will go up until we might be paying between $8-10.00 per gallon in the U.S. The fact that this will send the American economy into a tailspin is of no interest to them. A depressed and collapsed economy means bargain hunting for these banksters and they will be richer yet. CAN THIS MAD RACE TOWARD WAR BE STOPPED?Only God can intervene and He will only do so if His people are seeking Him by repentance and turning from their sins. Read what God has said: “And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attend unto the prayer that is made in this place.” (2 Chronicles 7:12-15) The American people are just finishing up their summer fun that ends with Labor Day. The owners of the football gladiators are ready and awaiting a new season. Hollywood has busily been preparing the last four months with their new fall programming that will be even more vile and decadent than last year. The American businessmen are shooting their opening salvos for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Christian leaders are not going to be outdone by the secular world. Churches are ready for the fall season with new programs, more spectacular entertainment and more outrageous worship teams. Television evangelists are going to put on “power shows” that slay people in the spirit, making them laugh like mentally sick people, bark like dogs, and crawl on the floor while people stand in awe of God’s “great power.” The money grabbing televangelist’s are going to tell people that this is the season to get out of debt and become rich by giving sacrificial “seed faith” so they can live high on the hog while the people are crumbling over their credit card debts. But in the midst of this decadence there will be a small remnant of believers who have not bowed their knees to Baal. Elijah thought he was the only one left until God told him that he had a hidden remnant and always will: “And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.” (1 Kings 19:13-18) Our job is to work while there is still time. I am aware of the difficult times ahead of us but I also believe that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can and will deliver His people in any circumstance. God will keep us healthy and full of joy as long as we focus on Him and not on the evil. I have shared these things so that you can warn the people around you, and when they see it come to pass, they will come to you for guidance since there won’t be any in the world. Look at these words from Jesus: “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:4-5) Jesus is still with us and we have His light around us. Please join me in keeping the work of God going and reaching as many people as we can before the night arrives and no man can work. Thank you for standing with us in prayer and finances and our prayer is that God will continue to abundantly meet all your needs. Yours in Christ, John S. Torell |
