Matthew 28:18-19 AMPC

[18] Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority
(all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. [19] Go then
and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

From 2007-2009 I traveled with a major international ministry as the assistant

street evangelism coordinator to 50 churches in 50 cities in America and we
saw 1.1 million decisions for Christ. We had a cumulative attendance of
soulwinners trained up and going out of over 26,000 people. God was using
everyday believers to win souls, some who had never won souls before.
My very first missions trip was 5 weeks in NYC in the summer of 1999 for
Good News New York, and we saw 48,459 decisions for Christ in all 5
boroughs of the city. I started winning 20 people a day to the Lord inside
subways and stopping basketball games. So far we have traveled to 184 cities
and 11 nations of the world for the sake of the gospel, staying up to 7 weeks in
one city. "whosoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." -Romans
10:13 If you need to be saved say this prayer "I confess Jesus Christ as Lord
and Savior and I believe God raised him from the dead, I repent, fill me with
the Holy Spirit.”

[For many the Servant of God became an object of horror; many were
astonished at Him.] His face and His whole appearance were marred more
than any man's, and His form beyond that of the sons of men–but just as
many were astonished at Him, -Isaiah 52:14 AMPC

John 18:10-11 AMPC

[10] Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's
servant and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. [11]
Therefore, Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword [back] into the sheath! The cup
which My Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?

John 6:15 AMPC

[15] Then Jesus, knowing that they meant to come and seize Him that they
might make Him king, withdrew again to the hillside by Himself alone.

Mass crusades are the best way to plant churches. 10 churches were planted
directly from one of my friend's crusades in India. Other people walked 12
hours to a different crusade in northern Uganda. It means that mass crusades
are the most effective method of missionary evangelism.
Pray for 10 people to bring to church and write down their names. Invite them
to the event, or just invite them to the normal Sunday morning service.
Begin by drawing a 1 mile radius around the church, then knock on every
door. We found an effective way to do this is to get an enlarged map of the
area and assign each team to go down 4 or 5 streets. We fill in the areas on
the large map once we have knocked on the door, evangelized the family,
invited them to church, and obtained follow up information. In a rural village of
12 people it is even easier, you simply gather everyone together and share the
gospel. Recently in a very remote region of Kenya called Kakamega I took a
group of pastors house to house to evangelize the people inside. It took
sometimes 12 min to walk to each house. The pastors were amazed by what
was happening and said: "we used to take an hour to minister inside each
house, but he is taking only 5 minutes at each house.” Evangelism on the
streets can be a paradigm shift for those in the ministry, since they are used to
preaching a message at least 2 hours long. In John 4:29 the message was
only a sentence and a half long, yet it was referred to in the Bible 3 times, and
many in the city believed on Jesus. God can do more with a sermon a
sentence and a half long than we can accomplish in our own strength with a 3
hour message we studied 6 months for with 15 pages of notes and 50 different
Greek and Hebrew definitions.

We train the leaders of each church to mobilize the members of their church
for street evangelism on a regular basis after we leave. Some churches adopt
a once a week evangelism event on a Saturday morning, other churches
begin evangelism 6 days a week. The soulwinning training class is typically 30
minutes in length, and we send teams out to specific areas. We typically pass
out full color flyers inviting people to the church. These flyers should include
service times for the church, phone numbers for the church, and the pastor's
name.

Our ministry Hope 4 all Nations never plants a church anywhere without
appointing a local pastor. We look to the coordinator in the country and other
local pastors we are working with to advise us who to appoint as a local
pastor. Once we appoint a pastor, we get the information to our supportive
local pastor networks to follow up and be in communication.

Initiative 19:10

“This went on for the next two years, so that people throughout the province of
Asia—both Jews and Greeks—heard the word of the Lord.”
Acts of the Apostles 19:10 NLT

Historians estimate that there were between 8 and 15 million people in Asia
during that time.

Goal: 1)Establish a 100 mile radius of a small supportive church network

around an existing church within prisons and schools.
2)Increase physical locations of larger churches within that radius.
3)We have seen churches double in size, so we would trust to increase the
membership of the larger churches and supporting churches through
evangelism and discipleship. Another church had over 700 first time visitors
within one month of our crusade.
4)Give supportive churches awareness of the existing church. 5)Disciple
inmates in prison to attend existing church when they leave.
6)Create a student led organization within the school that can call a parent
teacher conference for the purpose of evangelizing the parents and inviting
them to the existing church.
7)Raise up teenage student pastors within the school organization that can
request time on Sunday mornings to do a full church service. The great thing
is, it will be open to everyone just like a normal church, and the cost to rent the
high school would be $0, since it is a student led organization.
8)Once another traditional church is established 100 miles away from the
original church, draw a 100 mile radius around that church and start the
process over again.
9)Train everyone in all the churches to do personal one on one evangelism
during a minimum of a weekly event, and report stats and new churches to the
original church.
10)Raise up inmates within the prisons to serve as pastors. The original
church can help with ministry, but it would be impossible for one church to
pastor a network of 100 miles of churches by itself, they need help.

Mission 542

Acts 5:42 AMP

[42] And every single day, in the temple [area] and in homes, they did not stop
teaching and telling the good news of Jesus as the Christ (the Messiah, the
Anointed).

Objective: trusting God that every single person getting saved will be
immediately discipled and encouraged to attend the baptism service at church
and join the church.
I am trusting God to lead out evangelism teams from the church 5 days a
week.
Once the morning soulwinning training is complete, we will all call friends and
family to lead them to the Lord and set up appointments that day or later in the
week. As each week progresses, we will build exponentially on appointments
and souls saved.
Set up times to follow up on loved ones who get saved, for example, a
congregation member can follow up on their father who doesnt go to church
but got saved.
Go outside the high schools, primary schools, and middle schools when the
bell rings to lead students to Christ. Trust God to have favor with the HOD to
do a full assembly.
Establish weekly Bible studies within the schools.
In 1999 my life was impacted by a ministry in New York City who had the
biggest sidewalk Sunday school in America, over 50,000 kids in different
locations. The immediate goal with the mission is to establish sidewalk
Sunday schools in all rural areas near the church.

Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto l, Go home to thy friends, and
tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had
compassion on thee. -Mark 5:19

In a few minutes the madman was set free and raised up as an evangelist to
Decapolis. We should be open to how God could use us to minister to people
to raise up and send out missionaries. We can schedule and go to
congregation member's weddings, birthday parties, funerals, high school
rugby and sports games afterschool to preach the gospel. In Ephesians 4:11
an evangelist is defined as a "traveling missionary." We see that God is raising
up a global missionary alliance of pastors, evangelists, teachers, prophets,
and apostles who will lay aside their lives, reputations, and ministries at the
foot of the cross to win souls.

To whom it may concern,

This is Jake Peterson, the founder of Hope 4 all Nations, an organization
active all throughout South Africa working to launch restorative community
initiatives as well as clothing, food, and toy drives in the local townships. We
would love to partner with your school to do an assembly with all the students
to share about the needs of the community and offer a short prayer of blessing
for the students. Thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jake Peterson
We reached out to 13 schools with the letter in South Africa and 12 said yes.
The concept is to have a 5-10 Min assembly with a community improvement
focus, then offer a short prayer to preach the gospel and lead everyone to
Christ. The goal is to have the majority of the schools accept you in.
What we do specifically is mention these things as a focus as something we
do in communities. We don't necessarily give out clothes in a school, but we
do what we are able to. We send one team to 20 schools a day and
encourage the students to organize a toy drive within the school to give to
other kids. In the rural areas we have tremendous favor and the schools will
typically all let you in. The schools in the big cities will require more planning
months in advance to be able to enter the schools. Whether the crusade is in
a big city or a remote, rural area, we send teams into the schools in the
immediate vicinity of the crusade. When we plan for crusades, we can have
the local pastor's team visit school board meetings and meet with
superintendents over many schools. In this way we will be able to preach in
10-30 schools a day during the weekdays of the crusade

We talked to a head of dept. in a public government school in South Africa,

and she immediately opened the school to do a full assembly with the kids. My
goal in working with a local church is to mobilize the students to meet with the
HOD of different schools. The local supportive pastors can use a similar letter
to enter schools if they choose, or just draft one for your ministry

The Lord added to the church daily.

[47] Constantly praising God and being in favor and goodwill with all the
people; and the Lord kept adding [to their number] daily those who were being
saved [from spiritual death]. -Acts 2:47 AMP

In Acts 2 Peter preaches the Pentecostal sermon and plants a church in

Jerusalem.

Acts 2:40-41 AMPC

[40] And [Peter] solemnly and earnestly witnessed (testified) and admonished
(exhorted) with much more continuous speaking and warned (reproved,
advised, encouraged) them, saying, Be saved from this crooked (perverse,
wicked, unjust) generation. [41] Therefore those who accepted and welcomed
his message were baptized, and there were added that day about 3,000 souls.
The Lord kept adding to the church as a direct result of the miracle of a
crippled man walking.

Acts 3:8-10 AMPC

[8] And leaping forth he stood and began to walk, and he went into the temple
with them, walking and leaping and praising God. [9] And all the people saw
him walking about and praising God, [10] And they recognized him as the man
who usually sat [begging] for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and
they were filled with wonder and amazement (bewilderment, consternation)
over what had occurred to him. [19] So repent (change your mind and
purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased
(blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the
effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the
Lord;

But many of those who heard the message believed (adhered to and trusted in
and relied on Jesus as the Christ). And their number grew and came to about
5,000. Acts 4:4 AMPC

[31] God exalted Him to His right hand to be Prince and Leader and Savior
and Deliverer and Preserver, in order to grant repentance to Israel and to
bestow forgiveness and release from sin. Acts 5:31 AMPC

Acts 5:12-16 AMPC

[12] Now by the hands of the apostles (special messengers) numerous and
startling signs and wonders were being performed among the people. And by
common consent they all met together [at the temple] in the covered porch
(walk) called Solomon's. [13] And none of those who were not of their number
dared to join and associate with them, but the people held them in high regard
and praised and made much of them. [14] More and more there were being
added to the Lord those who believed [those who acknowledged Jesus as
their Savior and devoted themselves to Him joined and gathered with them],
crowds both of men and of women, [15] So that they [even] kept carrying out
the sick into the streets and placing them on couches and sleeping pads, [in
the hope] that as Peter passed by, at least his shadow might fall on some of
them. [16] And the people gathered also from the towns and hamlets around
Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those troubled with foul spirits, and they were
all cured.

away [from God] have been brought near by the blood of Christ. -Ephesians
2:13
2)We have “a joyful sense of freedom” to enter the holy places by the blood of
Jesus. Therefore, believers, since we have confidence and full freedom to
enter the Holy Place [the place where God dwells] by [means of] the blood of
Jesus, -Heb 10:19
Hey 10:19a NLT says “we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place.
3)THE BLOOD OF JESUS CANCELS THE BLOODLINE OF SIN. Behold, I
was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. -PS 51:5
4)There is power in the blood of Jesus to be justified
Therefore, since we are now justified acquitted, made righteous, and brought
into right relationship with God) by Christ’s blood, how much more [certain is it
that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God. -
Romans 5:9
5)There is power in the blood of Jesus to redeem
In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the
remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in
accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor, -
Ephesians 1:7 amp
6)There is power in the blood of Jesus to forgive sins
7)There is power in the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from ALL SIN But if we
[really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we
have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed
from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. -1 John 1:7 AMPC
8)There is power in the blood of Jesus to purge your conscience from dead
works
14How much more surely shall the blood of Christ, Who by virtue of [His]
eternal Spirit [His own preexistent divine personality] has offered Himself as
an unblemished sacrifice to God, purify our consciences from dead works and
lifeless observances to serve the [ever] living God? -Heb 9:14 AMPC
9)There is power in the blood of Jesus for the remission of sins 26Now as they
were eating, Jesus took bread and, praising God, gave thanks and asked Him
to bless it to their use, and when He had broken it, He gave it to the disciples
and said, Take, eat; this is My body. 27And He took a cup, and when He had
given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, Drink of it, all of you; 28For this is My
blood of the new covenant, which ratifies the agreement and] is being poured
out for many for the forgiveness of sins. -Matt 26:26-28
10)The blood of Jesus was shed for many. -Matt 26:28
11)There is power in the blood of Jesus to forgive transgressions/trespasses
In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the
remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in
accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor, -
Ephesians 1:7 AMPC
We have redemption in Him through His blood, the forgiveness of our
trespasses, according to the riches of His grace -Ephesians 1:7 HCSB
12)The purpose the blood was shed - wounded for our transgressions “But He
was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities” But He was
wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin,
our injustice, our wrongdoing]; The punishment [required]
for our well-being fell on Him, And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed. -
Isaiah 53:5
13)Healing in the blood of Jesus -Isaiah 53:5
14)The blood of Jesus sanctifies people.
Therefore Jesus also suffered and died outside the [city] gate so that He might
sanctify and set apart for God as holy the people [who believe] through [the
shedding of] His own blood. -Hebrews 13:12
15)To know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His
sufferings.
And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly
acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person
more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His
resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share]
the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into
His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did]; -Phil 3:10 AMP
16)I am crucified with Christ, and yet I live.

I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion];
it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I
live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of
God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. -Gal 2:20

I had 8764 decisions and traveled to 59 cities since Mar 24, 2023 in India,
South Africa, Uganda, and Kenya. 15 churches planted in 6 cities of India and
Kenya. We entered 23 schools with the gospel, and I preached 82 times.

In 27 days in India March and April 2023 I visited 30 different cities, towns,
and remote villages in 4 states. I had 1742 decisions for Christ, and I
preached 43 times, and planted 4 churches. I ended up being in the front page
of the paper in dozens of states in India as well as being on the TV news as I
preached the gospel.

3/26/23 This afternoon in India we went to another church in a different rural

tribal area. I preached from the Bible verse about the woman with the issue of
blood. A woman suffered pain from blood sugar issues and was instantly
healed of pain. Another lady came to the front and had faith that if I prayed for
her she would be healed. I prayed for new kidneys and she was healed of
pain. A man was suffering deafness and instantly the Lord opened his ears
and his hearing was completely restored. Another lady was healed of pain and
discomfort from a blood infection.

3/26/23 I felt the power of God so strong at the first night of the meeting in
India. The foundation scripture I preached from was John 14:6, and the Spirit
of the Lord had me to shared about creative miracles, that God could create
new bones in people’s bodies. I prayed for an old man with a lump in his neck
bone and the lump disappeared. A man suffered pain in his heart and stomach
but it was instantly gone after prayer. Another with eyes seeing spots, but after
I prayed the spots went away. I prayed for a man suffering from a severe car
accident and he was healed of back pain. Also multiple people with pain were
healed.

In India today I preached the simple gospel message based on John 9 where
Jesus restored sight to the man born blind and gave people the opportunity to
receive Christ. One lady had her eyesight restored. Another man suffered from
severe back pain and was addicted to painkillers, but he was instantly healed.
Another lady felt demon spirits leave her body as the pain left. Another lady
didn’t need to wear glasses anymore because the Lord restored her sight
completely. Another lady had to wear glasses because she had a severe
migraine headache and pain in her feet and back, but after prayer all the pain
left her body and the glasses were no longer necessary. Another woman
suffered from fever and other issues, but instantly the fever left her and she
was healed. Another woman had swelling legs and pain on her legs, but after
prayer all the swelling and pain was gone. Another woman was deaf in both
ears, but after prayer her hearing was 100% restored and she could even hear
David my coordinator speaking softly from farther away. A woman with a
tumor in her womb and pain was a Hindu, and she said she and her family
would get saved if God healed her. Tonight God healed her of all pain and
swelling, and she and her family got saved. Her husband, who was drunk, also
got saved and was healed of pain.

Yesterday morning the verse God gave me in India was John 11:25 as the
foundation verse. One lady was healed of head pain and no longer needed
her glasses, she was wearing them because of the pain. Another person had
pain throughout her body but all pain left and her breathing was restored
completely. Another person had a tumor beginning to form with sugar and
blood pressure issues, but after prayer the fire of God burned out the tumor
and it disappeared. Another person had severe pain all over and it was hard to
walk, but after prayer all pain was gone and the person was walking normally.
Another man had excruciating pain in his knee and it was extremely swollen,
but after prayer all swelling and pain was gone instantly. A pastor was healed
of stomach pain. One person suffered pain and had problems seeing, but after
prayer this person had all pain leave, and could read the fine print of the Bible
because this person’s eyesight was restored 100%. A baby was healed of a
burning fever. Another person had pain and problems seeing. After prayer,
this person said all the pain was gone, and read the fine print of the Bible to
prove that their eyesight was restored 100%.

On 4/3/23 on the final night of the crusade in India, I preached from Isaiah
53:5 “he was bruised for our iniquities,” and Psalm 51:5 “Behold, I was brought
forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.” The blood of Jesus
cancels the bloodline of sin. The Spirit of the Lord impressed on my
heart to share with the people that Jesus can cause the cripples to walk. More
than one person had pain and problems walking but God caused them to walk
normally, and 2 different people who needed to use glasses had their sight
restored. The very last person I prayed for had a bike he had to peddle with
his hands, he had pain in his right leg and a steel rod in his right leg. He was
completely crippled, and his left leg was much smaller than the other. Actually
he was so crippled that his legs could not even support the weight of his body.
I prayed and God healed the right leg with the steel rod in it of pain, I believe
His power is so mighty He can even take care of the rod too.

One man in a Baptist church in India had his legs bent and problems walking,
but Jesus healed him, he was walking normally. Another man had a rod in his
back, with pain and problems moving, but after prayer all the pain was gone.
Another lady had pain in her shoulder, but after prayer the pain was gone.
Another person suffered partial paralysis on her left side and could not raise
her hands, but after prayer she raised her hands and all pain was gone, she
was 8 years on pain meds. A lady had glasses but after prayer 100% of her
sight was restored. Another lady had pain and cataracts and cloudy vision,
after prayer the pain was gone and her vision was restored 100%. Another
lady had cataracts and pain, after prayer the pain was gone and her sight was
90% restored. Almost everyone was filled with the Holy Ghost. The Baptist
church no longer wanted to be called a Baptist church since they were filled
with the Holy Spirit.

It was the worst day of my life, it started out by us missing the bus to the next
location. Trying to find the bus, I didn’t bother to pray, and was convinced we
would miss it, but within less than 30 seconds after I called someone and
asked for prayer, the bus pulled up in front of us and we hopped on it. I
couldn’t sleep during the four hour ride, and it was extremely loud and
crowded. I felt led to preach on the bus, but everyone ignored me. We went to
the meeting and I stepped in a buffalo pie and had to wash off my sandals and
had to preach barefoot. When I was preaching I forgot to follow the majority of
the scriptures on the notes and my foundation scripture was Rom 10:14. After
I led people to the Lord, I laid hands on the sick and 4 people received
complete or nearly complete healing of blindness or issues seeing. I then
prayed for a woman who fell 3 months ago and fractured her wrist. She was in
tremendous pain throughout her entire body and could not stand or sit or walk
without having issues. Doctors put steel rods in her wrist and arm and she had
very restricted movements in her wrist. I began to speak to her body by the
Spirit of God to line up with the word, and I just knew that before I prayed she
would be completely healed. After prayer she received 100% freedom of
motion and all the pain was gone. I pray I have lots of good bad days just like
this. -India March 2023

We went to 8 remote villages today in India in April 2023 to preach the gospel.
The first one we led some people to the Lord and had miracles. We planted a
church there, and tomorrow we will lay the foundation stone to begin
construction soon. Almost each village we saw people get saved and healed.
Another village had over 33 people playing traditional drums and I led 18
people to the Lord. As soon as a lady was healed of paralysis and pain in
another village the other villagers crowded around to get saved. Several
others were healed as well of various ailments. The service that night I
preached from Colossians chapter 1 about the supremacy of Christ, and 3
were healed of paralysis and a partially deaf ear closed for 10 years was
opened.

This afternoon in India we traveled to another city and I preached at the

GOOD Friday service in the afternoon, my text was 1 Peter 2:24’ “by His
stripes we are healed.” I think God was showing Himself to be GOOD because
partial blindness was restored, partially deaf heard, many were saved, a boy
crippled from his mother’s womb walked, more than one person was healed of
swelling, joint pain, back pain gone in Jesus’ name. GOOD Friday is all about
the GOODness and grace of God reaching out to a lost humanity. -April 2023
The miracles in India began almost as soon as we stepped out and preached
in a remote village, pain was leaving bodies. Then we went to the city where
the crusade was a woman suffered from the effects of a c-section and back
pain, but all the pain left after prayer. Another person had sight problems and
100% of eyesight was restored. Another man was bedfast, he could not walk
at all for one month, he had pain in his kidney from infection, but after prayer
the pain was gone and he walked. Another lady had pain in her body but after
prayer she felt heat go through her body and the pain was gone. In the service
that night a woman had diabetes, sugar issues, and a kidney operation, but
after prayer for a new kidney all the pain left her body. Two men walked up at
the end of the open air service and both were Hindus, and one of them got
saved, but the other refused. When one of the men got healed of pain, the
other man bowed his head and accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.
In Marakavaripalem (not a Christian area) in April we had mighty miracles.
The recent meeting had more than double the people show up. Months after
we left the local pastor planted 2 churches as a direct result of the open air
meeting. The village wants to change the name to Rakshana Palli, which
means “village of salvation” in English. -India 2023

We stopped at another remote village in India and most of the villagers were
together doing a traditional tribal dance, and when I preached at first all but
two people refused to accept Christ, and my translator said “they will not
receive, they are idol worshippers,” I said “ok the Bible says ‘whosoever calls
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,’ and that includes idol
worshippers.” Again I gave the call and over 65% of the people accepted
Christ, I prayed for miracles and several people raised their hands to indicate
pain had left their bodies.

Miracles in India 4/17/23

A person suffered pain from a heart operation, but after prayer all the pain left
this person’s body. Another person suffered pain and wore glasses, after
prayer all the pain left this person’s body, and Jesus restored this person’s
sight 100%. Another person suffered pain and was crippled and couldn’t walk,
but after prayer this person was healed of all pain and walked normally.
Another person had their leg broken and suffered pain, but after prayer this
person was healed of all pain. Two other people had problems seeing, but
after prayer both people’s eyesight was 100% restored and all the pain was
gone in both people. Another person had their breathing 100% restored. One
person suffered from an enlarged thyroid and suffered pain. This person
couldn’t sleep and had problems breathing, but after prayer the enlarged
thyroid was made normal, the pain was gone, and the breathing was restored.
Another person had hip pain, had hip surgery in the past, and gastric issues,
but after prayer, all the pain was gone and the gastric issues left. Another
person suffered from an enlarged thyroid, but after prayer the thyroid was
normal. Another person suffered from pain from kidney stones, but after
prayer all the pain left this person’s body. Another lady had pain from a
fractured spine, but after prayer, the pain was gone. Another person suffered
back pain, heart pain, and problems walking, but after prayer all the pain was
gone. Another had joint pain and issues seeing, but after prayer all pain was
gone and the sight was restored. Another person had an eye infection which
caused sight issues, but after prayer this person’s sight was 100% restored.
Another person had pain, problems breathing and was diagnosed with
asthma, but after prayer all the pain was gone, and the breathing was 100%
restored. One person I prayed for had gastric issues, blood pressure issues,
eye infection, and pain, but after prayer all the pain was gone. One person
was almost completely deaf for over 50 years, but after prayer, the Lord
restored hearing 100%, she was 95 years old. Another person was healed of
breathing issues from asthma and pneumonia. One woman had bones
shattered and pain left her back and hip. The pastor’s wife suffered multiple
falls and suffered pain but after prayer all the pain was gone. Another lady had
a 4 cm hard lump in her arm that I felt with my hand. I felt impressed in my
heart to share concerning the working of miracles. After praying 5 different
times the lump disappeared and all pain was gone.

Pastor’s conference in Tororo

Uganda 2023-Today I entered the remote village of Bukaye to do a church

service and Kamuli to preach at a school. When I preached about judgement
day in Bukaye I began to weep for over 10 minutes. My foundation scripture is
Revelation 1:17-18, and I was saying to the people that God’s judgement of
His creation on that day is based on our acceptance or rejection of the Lord
Jesus Christ. As an evangelist we must warn everyone of the final judgement
and heaven and hell. Everyone got saved, and pain was leaving hearts,
heads, legs, etc.

Today we entered 2 remote villages in Uganda May 2023.

City 1-Preached from where Peter denied Jesus but then was restored in John
21. Jesus healed people of chest pain, back ache, neck pain, and abdominal
pain. Cripples walked, ulcers disappeared, other mighty miracles.
City 2-Preached from John 3:3, everyone was saved, several people healed of
ulcers demon possessed set free, one lady testified as pain left her leg
something left her leg and it was shaking. More than one child was healed of
headaches.

So today we traveled to 4 remote villages in Uganda May 2023 to bring the

gospel, but there was a huge problem, we drove for hours and hours and
battled to get through mud and got caught in a violent rainstorm. It already
took longer because some of the roads were flooded. We got to the final
location around 2 hours late, people were in 3 different tents. I was informed I
would not have time to preach, only enough time to introduce myself and “say
a few words.” People should know by now if you give an evangelist a mic
anywhere what exactly will happen, we don’t just “say a few words,” we
preach the gospel. I said a short prayer and led many people to the Lord.
Then I said a mass prayer for the sick, and dozens of hands went up to
indicate pain had left their bodies.

The person in the house in Kakamega, Kenya May 2023 was instantly healed
of malaria fever, another man also testified his malaria fever was instantly
gone. A lady had painful ulcers in her stomach, swelling and issues hearing.
There was an issue with her eardrum, it was not properly formed to begin with.
Immediately after prayer all the swelling and pain was gone from the ulcers
and Jesus restored her eardrum, her hearing was 100% restored.
One school we preached at in Kenya in May 2023 had 90 students and 90%
of them were members of a cult. I preached the gospel and led all the students
to the Lord, and all 5 teachers committed to pastoring the kids. In Kenya there
is a specific program sponsored by the government to have church services in
schools. This particular school required all the students to attend the weekly
church services we helped establish. In this way the gospel is being
propagated in an area that's 70% cult members. All the local pastors we were
working with in Kenya promised to visit a school a week with the gospel, as
well as visit all 22 schools we visited all across Kenya.

We visited schools in the following cities in Kenya in May 2023: Kakamega,

Kisumu, Mombasa, and Kilifi. After we left another church was established in
Kilifi as a direct result of the crusade. Update Jan 2024-A church began with
less than 50 members earlier in 2023 now has hundreds of members that
don’t fit in the building because of our evangelism efforts in the area. Kids that
got saved in the schools are showing a change in their behavior because of
Jesus, and are requesting the parents to bring them to church. My contact in
the area is telling me the church has grown more than 3 times the original
size.

““He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: “I know your
works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it”
Revelation 3:7-b-8a

In January my pastor spoke a word over me that I would do more in the next 3
years-a testimony, since October of last year I have won 16,727 souls to
Christ, that's the most ever in a 13 month period, and we trust it's only
beginning. We have seen 14,000 souls saved in South Africa since the end of
June 2023. Now we have more than one school calling us to do an assembly.
So far I have traveled to 176 cities and 11 nations of the world, for 16 years it
was to help another ministry by winning souls up to 7 weeks in one city. For
the last 9 years I have begun to hold crusades independently through my own
ministry Hope 4 all Nations. So far we have planted one church in Islamabad,
Pakistan in April 2016. In 2022 November we planted 5 churches in East and
Central Uganda. We planted one church in a rural area of Kenya in December
2022. We planted 4 churches in rural areas of India in April/May 2023. And we
planted 11 churches in Kenya in May 2023. We planted 1 church in a rural
area of Limpopo, South Africa in December 2023.

“And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon
the waters to come to Jesus.”
Matthew 14:29 ASV

Time to move forward and higher with God.

As I PROCLAIM, He will CONFIRM.
As I PREACH, He will CONVICT.
As I PRAY, He promises to HEAL.
All I know is hell begins to tremble and quake with fear when the church
begins to arise.
Just a glance into His face will send the strongest skeptic to their knees

I've been criticized by hundreds of people all over the globe for preaching the
gospel. Usually they say "I'm a Christian, BUT..."
1)"Why did you preach to the entire Chinese restaurant when they have to pay
their mortgages?"
2)"Why do you have to scare people by asking them about eternity?"
3)"That person didn't really mean it when they said that prayer."
4)"If that guy Jake ever comes to my city and preaches at a funeral, I will beat
him up.
5)"WHY in the WORLD would you want to preach in that neighborhood?
Everyone on the team will kick the bucket, it's so dangerous." (translation: I
will never preach there or anywhere else)
6)"Why do you think it is so easy to just say a prayer to be forgiven? If you say
anything about God it will push them further away, and doesn't it say
somewhere in the 'Bible' to 'preach the gospel but never use words?'"
(translation: I never even mention the name of Jesus outside church, and the
only person I brought through my 26 month IEC (Ineffective Evangelism
Course) I teach them to be twice the devil of hell I am)
7)"You say you believe Jesus still works miracles today, but have you ever
studied scriptures on humility?"
8)"I know your team just led 17,546 people to the Lord, but without 17,546
follow up cards those salvations are invalidated. You know, we want the
harvest to come in, but without those scraps of paper that harvest will die in
the field." My response: "Well, actually 60% of the decisions were made in
nursing homes, and it is a violation of federal HIPPA laws to take names out of
the facilities. Another 20% of the decisions came from praying for high school
sports teams, which makes it impossible and to get any names. And 5% of the
decisions came from inside the prisons, and it is a violation of state and
federal laws to take names out of the prisons and try to visit them."
9)Me: "wow, God is awesome, the other day I won over 600 people to the
Lord." Person: "I can't believe you would say that, don't you know you have to
get to know every single person you minister to? Sounds very boastful to me."
10)Me preaching: "read in the Bible about how the thief on the cross got saved
in the final moments of his life and joined our Savior in glory." Other people:
"how can you say that someone can go to heaven in such a short time? Don't
you know since no one baptized him in the last seconds of his life he will split
hell wide open?"
11)"Why did you just go ahead and preach to 50 people at a bus station?
Don't you know you have to be LED BY THE SPIRIT?" Me: "uhhhhhhh, I
thought I WAS being LED to preach the gospel."

Son of God, Son of man

To Moses He was the great “I AM”
Abraham discovered provision in the form of a ram
With three words, His attackers were overcome
A donkey's jawbone is splattered with the blood of 1000 men A prophet's
bleached bones caused a fallen solider to live again Leprous flesh was
restored emerging from the river
A pillar of salt is silhouetted against the dawn firestorm
A borrowed donkey was chosen to carry the Messiah
A rooster's crow fulfilled the prophecy
A disobedient prophet's prayers are heard underwater,
And Nineveh will soon repent
John's severed head on a platter is a grisly gift
A beehive is formed in the dead carcass of a lion
Silver payment for betrayal clatters to the temple floor
Pride caused a mighty king to go insane and eat grass
And a lowly shepherd boy is anointed to lead a nation
David gave God 5 smooth stones, and God gave him an impossible victory
Moses gave God a simple staff, and the sea of captivity parted Jochebed

Faith to move a mighty mountain

In the dead prophet's tomb there was
Power to revive a fallen soldier
Strength to comfort His grieving mother
Paul imprisoned vowed a debt to repay
His love too strong for the grave to hold
Anointing to restore a withered hand
Faith in God can move a mighty mountain
Forgiveness from God can soothe the troubled soul
Compassion to heal the desperate multitudes
Trust to discard a blind beggar's robe
Deliverance to sever chains of bondage
Like smoldering flaxen cords
Would that all would trust in Calvary
The Holy Ghost is brooding over the void of darkness
Starving lepers ransacked a city
Reckless grace abandons all for one
Miracles prove my Savior's deity
I wrote some extra verses to an older song “faith in God can move a mighty
mountain.”

The Lord was highlighting the word "deluge" to me, it means extreme flood or
torrent. The most rainfall ever recorded in a single day in the United States
was 77 inches during cyclone Denise in 1966. That's more than double the
amount of rain (37 inches) that falls in a year in the average American city. In
times of great upheaval in the world, the wind of God will continue to blow, and
we will see more in one day than we saw in 20 years. We are witnesses of the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, first hand witnesses to Jesus being alive. Acts 1:8
declares we will be witnesses, we are witnesses of his death, burial, and
resurrection, witnesses of His power and grace. There is not one person on
the planet who can talk me out of my faith in the Lord Jesus.

A police officer said I would be arrested as I was leading 70 people to the Lord
because someone complained at the parade. I asked him "why am I being
arrested, for practicing my freedom of speech or praying with people by
permission?" They did not arrest me, and I felt to stay at the parade to minister
to others. A man I met is the reason the Lord had me to stay at that parade, he
accepted Christ and God had me to pray the scripture in Jeremiah
where God says He formed Jeremiah. I prayed for a recreative miracle, he
suffered a car accident which left him paralyzed with a crushed spine and pain
in his shoulder, but after prayer the pain was gone.

TRIED TO PREACH....
1)Kicked out of the same mall 10 times and got a trespass warning. 2)No
pastor wanted to work with me.
3)Kicked out of multiple schools.
4)Lied about, misrepresented, my character trampled upon. 5)Punched in a
subway station.
6)Profoundly betrayed by my best friend.
7)Kicked out of churches, prisons, grocery stores, gas stations. 8)Kicked out
of preaching by a stoplight.
9)Kicked out of the bars of Ybor City and the bars of Orlando 10)Preached to
thousands in an open field at the beginning of a paid secular Spanish concert.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass
through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the
fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 4:32
Last night the Lord was speaking to me through a song about a tsunami of
God’s spirit covering the earth. A tsunami is caused by a massive
underground earthquake or shifting of tectonic plates. It causes waves up to
100 feet high that in 2004 caused massive devastation of 230,000 casualties
in 14 countries. There is only a 15-20 min warning for this unfortunate
catastrophe. In the same way, the cross 2000 years ago was a massive, earth
shattering event that radically changed the course of human history to
reconcile sinful man with a holy God. The effect today is great devastation on
the kingdom of darkness with very little warning, as tidal wave upon wave of
the Holy Spirit covers the earth with a mighty flood tide that will sweep
multitudes into the kingdom.
I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver. He said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, and you will bring me glory.”” -Isaiah 49:2b-3 NLT

Judah is my bow, and Israel is my arrow. -Zechariah 9:13

God’s heart is missions, the word says that God will say to a people who is not
His people “you are my people.” Also the word declares “while you are yet
speaking He will hear.” He is near to the destitute, He has incredible
compassion on the broken, His call is very clear to those who are lost in
darkness, He gives grace to the humble, and listens to the desperate prayers
of those who have never known Him.

“To these [men] He also showed Himself alive after His suffering [in
Gethsemane and on the cross], by [a series of] many infallible proofs and
unquestionable demonstrations, appearing to them over a period of forty days
and talking to them about the things concerning the kingdom of God.” -Acts
1:3 AMP

Jesus offered many infallible proofs that He was alive through miracles, signs,
and wonders. I remember praying for someone in L.A. and the Lord caused
the slipped disc in her back to be pushed in. She was absolutely amazed and
astonished, and said she was scared, but it is a holy fear, a righteous
amazement. I like how the Bible phrases it “unquestionable demonstrations,”
that was what happened with this lady, Jesus was demonstrating His love to
the world.

“For in fact, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness will cover the
peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you [Jerusalem] And His glory and
brilliance will be seen on you. Nations will come to your light, And kings to the
brightness of your rising.”
-Isaiah 60:2-3 AMP

I trust in the last days that many multitudes will come to know the Lord Jesus
Christ. With 7,000 different languages without the message of the gospel, the
need has never been greater to go into big cities, to go into remote villages,
and everywhere else with the good news of the gospel.

“Behold, [in the restored Jerusalem] I will bring to it health and healing, and I
will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace (prosperity,
security, stability) and truth. I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the
fortunes of Israel and will rebuild them as they were at first.” -Jeremiah 33:6-7
God is showing His goodness despite what is happening to Israel. His will is
healing and restoration. I believe scripture is declaring a divine reversal, Israel
had been taken captive, but God would restore what had been stolen.

I wanted to share this testimony of what the Lord did in Montana in 2009
during a 2 week crusade where I helped coordinate the street evangelism at
the Crow Fair. It’s one of the largest gatherings of First Nations people-
35,000+ in the city of Crow Agency.
234 salvations in Pryor-population 628-that's 37% of the total population. 1209
salvations in Billings-population 101,876-that's 1.1% of the total population.
4861 salvations in Crow Agency-population 1552.
734 salvations in Lame Deer-population 2018-that's 37% of the total
population.
77 salvations in Busby-population 695 that's 11% of the total population. 520
salvations in Hardin-population 3384-that's 15% of the total population. 109
salvations in Wyola-population 186/Lodge Grass-population 510-that's 16% of
the total population of the two cities combined.
The Lord gave me this word in 2008 because it was about taking back territory
(souls) that the enemy had stolen from the First Nations people.
Samuel leads Israel to victory

1 Samuel 7
13 so the Philistines were subdued and didn't invade Israel again for some
time. And throughout Samuel's lifetime, the Lord's powerful hand was raised
against the Philistines.
14 The Israelite villages near Ekron and Gath that the Philistines had captured
were restored to Israel, along with the rest of the territory that the Philistines
had taken. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites in those
days."

Synonyms for multiply: accelerate, accumulate, appreciate, balloon, boom,

build up, burgeon, climb, enlarge, escalate, expand, gain, increase, mount,
mushroom, proliferate, rise, roll up, snowball, spread, swell, wax.
It is for the end time reaping of multitudes of souls into the kingdom. Jesus
speaking specifically about the end times said:

“Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” -Luke 21:26

That says to me there is danger as never before as geopolitical tensions rise,

but, as technology increases to communicate the gospel, there is also one of
the greatest opportunities in history to present the gospel to this generation.
Continue to keep me and others working with me in prayer as we move
forward with that with which God has placed in our heart. The melting point of
silver is 1,763°F, which is very hot, its resistance to heat means it’s unrivaled
as a conductor of electricity. As we walk through the greatest fiery trials, God
can refine us, so we can be a living conductor for the glory of God. In times of
global uncertainty we can rest in the power of the Savior, in uncharted waters,
God can confirm His word with limitless power.

“But you killed the Prince (Author, Originator, Source) of life, whom God raised
[bodily] from the dead. To this [fact] we are witnesses [for we have seen the
risen Christ].” -Acts 3:15 AMP

Vision
1)Plant 500 churches worldwide and raise up discipleship programs and
church planting teams, and hold mass crusades.
2)Enter 1000 rural villages worldwide and make sure every inhabitant hears
the gospel message.
3)Encourage pastors and churches to mobilize to win the lost by holding
crusades in churches and holding soulwinning classes with hands on training.
Over 10 years ago, my pastor preached to over 25,000 people a day for a
week by being invited by the president of Burundi to an inauguration. To me
this is exactly what I see myself doing. I saw a group of people so large no
stadium could hold them blocking streets and worshiping the Lord. I traveled
with between 30-130 people for 2 1/2 years, and I was in charge of sending
teams to the streets, up to 100 teams a day. I see a day when I can send
100,000 people to the streets and see 1 million people come to Christ in 2-3
hours.

Who is this Jesus?

Isaiah 42:6b I will make you as a light for the nations
In John 8:12 Jesus says “I am the light of the world.”
In Psalm 80 He is the vine planted in Canaan
“You uprooted a vine (Israel) from Egypt; You drove out the [Canaanite]
nations and planted the vine [in Canaan].” -Psalms 80:8 AMP
In John 15:1 He is the true vine
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.”
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
-John 10:11 HCSB
And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. -Psalm 95:7
“So Jesus said again, “I assure you: I am the door of the sheep.” John 10:7
HCSB
“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through Me.”
-John 14:6 HCSB
In John 6 He was the bread of life in direct correlation with exodus manna
Exodus 16:15.
“Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Moses didn’t give you the bread from
heaven, but My Father gives you the real bread from heaven. “I am the bread
of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to Me will ever be hungry, and no
one who believes in Me will ever be thirsty again.” -John 6:32, 35 HCSB

Jesus is preeminent, preexistent, all-powerful, all knowing, never-ending.

In Judges 6:38 He was the glistening morning dew that gathered on Gideon’s
fleece.
In John while pinned to a cruel tree he told John “behold your mother.” In
Exodus He was a holy flame that burned without consuming the bush.
In Jonah He demonstrated His resurrection power beneath the murky ocean
floor.
Matt 12:40 Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of a big fish.
The Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the grave also.
Who is He?
He is a fountain spring in the parched desert wilderness.
He is a compass and a lighthouse, reflections of His mighty power throughout
the universe revealed.
Comforter, healer, friend and Savior, His cross your entire life demands.
Throughout the whole world has His redemption story now been told.
He is a thousand hidden universes of gemstones hidden far beneath the earth.
In Judges 7:20 He is the flicker of the torch revealed in the dust of 300
shattered clay pots.
2 Cor 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-
surpassing power is from God and not from us.
Like the angels hiding their eyes because His glory was a sight untold. His
voice alone can quell the swiftly swelling tide.
In the Book of Revelation He is a victorious warrior king, with a sword to
devour all the enemies.

Who is this Jesus?

Buddha taught us that all religions were good and to learn salvation by self-
effort. This is not true, the Bible says “there is none righteous, no, not one.” -
Rom 3:10

Hindus believe Jesus is one God among many gods. This is not true, the Bible
declares “and it is appointed to man once to die, and after this, the
judgement.” -Heb 9:27
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe Jesus was “a” God, and Jesus was crucified on
a stake. This is not true Colossians 1:16 For in him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers
or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Mormons believe that God gives to (virtually) everyone the ability to become
all powerful just like God and the opportunity to die in a world you create. This
is not true, read the words of the Bible talking about the authority of Jesus
Christ, Philippians 2:9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and
gave him the name that is above every name, Others say Jesus is simply a
“good moral teacher.” This is simply not true, read Philippians 2:10 that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the
earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father. Others believe Jesus was only a prophet. This is not true,
read about the supremacy of Christ in Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of
the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the
dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was
pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,

Atheism teaches God does not exist. This is not true, in defining your belief by
someone you claim not to believe in, you are only granting validity to the
person you are trying to invalidate, God. Read Rom 1:19 For what can be
known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For
his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been
clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have
been made. So they are without excuse.

Galatians 1:6-8 AMPC

[6] I am surprised and astonished that you are so quickly turning renegade
and deserting Him Who invited and called you by the grace (unmerited favor)
of Christ (the Messiah) [and that you are transferring your allegiance] to a
different [even an opposition] gospel. [7] Not that there is [or could be] any
other [genuine Gospel], but there are [obviously] some who are troubling and
disturbing and bewildering you [with a different kind of teaching which they
offer as a gospel] and want to pervert and distort the Gospel of Christ (the
Messiah) [into something which it absolutely is not]. [8] But even if we or an
angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to and different
from that which we preached to you, let him be accursed (anathema, devoted
to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment

Paul says clearly "if I or an angel from heaven preach to you a gospel contrary
from that which we preached you, let him be accursed." Jehovah's Witnesses
do not believe in the new birth experience as outlined in Romans 10:9-10,
which says in part "if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is
Lord, and believe in your heart God has raised him from the dead, you will be
saved." Also, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe Jesus is equal to God, they
believe Jesus is "a" God. Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in a physical
hell, they believe in annihilationism, that means anyone who doesn't make it to
heaven will cease to exist. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that only 144,000
people will make it to heaven. Christians believe in heaven and hell as
physical geographical locations where the spirits of human beings are sent for
all eternity based on their acceptance of Jesus Christ or rejection of Him.

I have nothing at all against Catholics, I was brought up as a Catholic, but I

knew something was wrong in a Catholic school at 4 years old we were asked
to repeat "I'm not worthy," over and over. I accepted Christ at age 18 in
Juneau, Alaska, and I believe in the Bible, in signs and wonders, speaking in
tongues. I was baptized as a baby in the Catholic church, which doesn't make
sense if a person gets baptized according to scripture to show they have
repented of sins. Catholics use the following scripture to justify Papal
infallibility:

Matthew 16:16-18 AMP

[16]Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
[17]Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied)
are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to
you, but My Father Who is in heaven.[18]And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek,
Petros–a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra–a huge rock like
Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the
infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out
against it].

Read and reread verse 18, Jesus is not saying He would build His church on
Peter, but on the petra, the saying that Jesus is the Christ. Peter was not and
could not be the first pope. Learned Old Testament theologians of the time put
Jesus on the cross and ordered His death. Even if the pope is supposed to
have limited infallibility, this is false and against everything the Bible teaches.
The Bible states "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God"-ROM
3:23. And also "There is none righteous, no, not one" -ROM 3:10. There is
nothing in the Bible that says we should pray to the dead or talk to the dead,
or ask the dead to pray for us. This is sorcery and consulting with familiar
spirits.

8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually
immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be
consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” -
Revelation 21:8

6 “ ‘I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to
prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their
people. -Leviticus 20:6

Praying to a statue of Mary is idolatry, plain and simple. Thinking that the
communion wafer will turn into the actual body of the Lord Jesus does not
have a scriptural precedent. If flesh appears this is a lying sign and wonder
spoken about in Revelation. Saying Mary is the co-redemptrix is just plain and
simple false, regardless of if you think she is just cooperating with Jesus.
Multiple popes have spoken against this term as being problematic. The
Catholic church telling priests not to marry is also false, and the Apostle Paul
speaks specifically against this. I have heard that the pope said that if an
atheist takes the sacraments and says a hail Mary that atheist is assured a
place in heaven. This is absolutely false. I can give at least 20 instances of the
pope spouting universalism, which rejects the idea of Jesus being Savior. I
have never seen a Catholic priest pray for the sick, do an altar call, or pray for
people to be filled with the Holy Ghost. It doesn't mean there are not good
people within the Catholic church who have a genuine relationship with the
Lord Jesus. Another issue is the Catholic church has a church in Florida called
"Mary, Queen of the universe." This is just not true, she is not queen of the
universe.

Another issue Catholics have which is something called exorcism, these

practices themselves can be demonic. They include putting a cross on
someone and the flesh sizzles. If a person is not filled with the Holy Ghost,
then it will be impossible to cast out devils. There is a correct, scriptural way to
cast out devils, which is exactly outlined by the Lord Jesus Christ when He
gave the devils permission to enter pigs. Jesus did not spend a long time
casting out devils, but He did cast them out. We must trust for an immediate
deliverance, and Jesus did not carry out long conversations with the devils
either. All they do is lie anyway, so, anything they say through people is going
to be a lie. I believe as Jesus says that "no one can see the kingdom of
heaven unless they are born again." -John 3:3 A person has to be born again,
I personally know good people who are born again within the Catholic church.
God is ultimately the judge, but when Pope Francis said which most offended
people: "No one can be condemned forever, because that is not the logic of
the Gospel!" It does sound pretty Universalist, this is wrong, because people
can be condemned forever in hell if they reject the Lord Jesus. Pope Francis is
basically denying the existence of hell, which he has done many times. That's
why I say the Catholic Church is in danger of becoming a cult. The Apostle
Paul, speaking to the Galatian Church asked this question: having begun in
the Spirit, are you now made perfect in the flesh?"

1 John 5:21
[21]Little children, keep yourselves from idols (false gods)–[from anything and
everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort
of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life]. Amen (so let it be).
False gods can be anything that takes away your focus from the Lord Jesus.
In Exodus the children of Israel created a golden calf to worship, this was one
of the false gods of Egypt. They would rather worship a false god the
sorcerers worshiped than the one true God.

2 Timothy 2:21
[21]So whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean, who
separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences]
will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble
purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good
work.

In Biblical history, the children of Israel had big problems with idols, sorcery,
and witchcraft. In the next verse you can see God specifically dealing with His
people concerning this. They refused to obey the word of the Lord and set up
an idol (false god) as a poor substitute for the living God.

Isaiah 57:8
[8]Behind the door and the doorpost you have set up your [idol] symbol [as a
substitute for the Scripture text God ordered]. Deserting Me, you have
uncovered and ascended and enlarged your bed; and you have made a [fresh]
bargain for yourself with [the adulterers], and you loved their bed, where you
saw [a beckoning hand or a passion-inflaming image].

I have studied many cults over the years, and it all comes down to the Apostle
Peter's statement about Jesus: "thou art the Christ (or Messiah or Savior) the
Son of the living God." Jesus said that "upon this rock (or the revelation that
Jesus is the Christ) shall I build my church." False religions or cults all reject
the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some of these cults say he is a good
person, other cults say he was a prophet, but they all reject the notion He is
Lord. Christianity believes Jesus is exactly who He says He is, Savior,
Messiah, Lord, and, according to John 8:58, "I AM." See Exodus 3:14

When I entered a Hindu Temple I told them about Jesus, high exalted above
all gods and led 64 traditionally clothed Hindus to the Lord. I preached the
gospel inside multiple Masonic Temples and Masonic funerals, and led
several high ranking members of the Masonic Order of the Dragon Guard to
Christ. When I entered the Kingdom Hall, I told them about Jesus, King of
kings. When I entered a Mosque, I told the Imam and his followers about John
14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one cometh unto the Father
except through Me." And John 8:58 "before Abraham was, I am." My friend led
over 30 Mormons to the Lord on the beach in Hawaii in 2007. I saw people
who practiced ancient tribal religions in remote villages in India, Kenya, and
Uganda accept Christ. When I preached to a Buddhist Llama and his followers
I spoke of the resurrection from the dead and called for repentance. When I
preached to Jewish Rabbis in NYC I told them Jesus is the only true Messiah
and soon coming King. When I preached in a hospital ER waiting
room, God mostly emptied it. When I preached in a bar I saw Jesus break off
the power of hell from people. When I preached at an "interfaith" convocation
of religious leaders I was kicked out for preaching salvation only through the
blood of Jesus Christ. I preached to traditional Sangomas in Soweto
performing ritualistic dances, and I told them about Jesus, who is greater than
their muti, I told them about the highest power, I told them about Jesus, Son of
God, Son of man, and the great I AM!!! When I preached to the former leader
of a Mormon Church he was saved, delivered from depression, and healed.
When I preach to American congressmen and mayors the message is still the
same. At a Christmas party with several fortune tellers I prophesied Luke 4:18-
19 and hundreds were saved. I saw cult members get born again in Pakistan
in 2016, and hundreds from all different faiths through the years put their faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ. Inside a Scientology lecture hall I preached about
Jesus- “the same yesterday, today, and forever.” -Hebrews 13:8
A few years ago, the Lord spoke to me "I am calling you to go to countries that
many would consider 'unreachable.' I have called you to go to very hard
places, to lands of great darkness, to parched and desolate wastelands, and
springs of living water will flow in the desert. The light of the gospel will pierce
the darkness. I will bring you before world leaders, and you will bring My
healing power to those with very severe medical conditions, even those that
have days to live, but when you lay hands on them they will not die but live.

[19] Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not
see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. -Isaiah
43:19 HCSB

There are different words for "repentance" in the Greek New Testament. A
popular, but absolutely false teaching states that the original Greek word for
"repentance" means a change of mind only and not a change of actions.
Again, this teaching is unquestionably false, true repentance means to change
your mind, change your will to be in line with God's will, and to change your
actions to stop sinning. If true repentance had nothing to do with action, then
repentance would not be necessary for King David who committed adultery
and murder.

[13] And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan
said to David, The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die. [Ps. 51.]
-2 Samuel 12:13 AMPC

Because David repented and therefore made a decision not to commit the
physical act of adultery or murder anymore, God forgave him and spared his
life. But sin has a consequence of death, and directly because of David's
actions, his newborn son died.

2 Samuel 12:14 AMPC

[14] Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the Lord
and given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child
that is born to you shall surely die.

Let's look at the New Testament:

Revelation 2:5 AMPC

[5] Remember then from what heights you have fallen. Repent (change the
inner man to meet God's will) and do the works you did previously [when first
you knew the Lord], or else I will visit you and remove your lampstand from its
place, unless you change your mind and repent.

Repent and DO THE WORKS you did previously is what Jesus is saying.
Jesus is speaking about returning to your first love, if you return to your first
love, you won't commit adultery, you won't kill, you won't abuse drugs.

[14]Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: you have some people
there who are clinging to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to set a
trap and a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, [to entice them] to eat
food that had been sacrificed to idols and to practice lewdness [giving
themselves up to sexual vice][16] Repent [then]! Or else I will come to you
quickly and fight against them with the sword of My mouth. -Revelation
2:14,16 AMPC

Jesus is saying specifically to His Holy Ghost filled church to repent quickly of
sexual vice. He is saying to repent of a specific action, a certain sin, and if not,
there will be dire consequences. REPENTANCE IS FOR A SPECIFIC TIME
IN EACH PERSON'S LIFE. JESUS GAVE JEZEBEL TIME TO REPENT OF
IMMORALITY, BUT SHE REFUSED TO DO SO, SO SHE WAS JUDGED.
[21] I gave her time to repent, but she has no desire to repent of her
immorality [symbolic of idolatry] and refuses to do so. [22] Take note: I will
throw her on a bed [of anguish], and those who commit adultery with her [her
paramours] I will bring down to pressing distress and severe affliction, unless
they turn away their minds from conduct [such as] hers and repent of their
doings. -Revelation 2:21-22 AMPC

Another false teaching that is very prevalent is the idea that Judas went to
heaven when he died. If Judas actually went to heaven as many people have
suggested, the multiple prophecies of judgement against him spoken by Jesus
would be false. I do not believe Judas is in heaven, it is a scripturally
supported fact that when Judas died he went to hell. Listen to the words of
Jesus concerning Judas:

[24} The Son of Man is going just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man
by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better (more
profitable and wholesome) for that man if he had never been born! [Ps. 41:9.] -
Matthew 26:24 AMPC

[12] While I was with them, I kept and preserved them in Your Name [in the
knowledge and worship of You]. Those You have given Me I guarded and
protected, and not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of
perdition [Judas Iscariot–the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined
to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled. -John 17:12 AMPC

Judas, according to the Lord Jesus was now doomed to destruction,

essentially what Jesus is saying is once he betrayed Him, he no longer had
the ability to repent. Once this happened, Judas' eternal destination became
everlasting torment in hell. Only when you put to death your plans can God's
plan begin in your life from the ashes. I do not seek fame, fortune, worldly
recognition, possessions, or approval from men, I only seek His face, I lay
down my life so others can live, when your ministry has moved beyond
meeting the needs of others, you have already failed by heaven's standards.
The woman at the well in John 4 was not even named in the Bible, but her
message was referred to 3 times in the Bible and a whole city believed. Mary
in John 12:3 lavished on Jesus the alabaster box worth an entire year's
wages, and Jesus said in Matt 26:13 wherever this gospel is preached
throughout the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.
Because of one offering, a disciple Judas made a decision to betray Jesus
and is now burning for eternity in hell.
[15] Anyone who hates (abominates, detests) his brother [in Christ] is [at
heart] a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding
(persevering) within him. -1 John 3:15 AMPC

“[Now having received the Holy Spirit, and being led and directed by Him] if
you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of
anyone, they are retained.” -John 20:23 AMPC

“Then He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the
whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever
does not believe will be condemned.” -Mark 16:15-16 HCSB

What is it Jesus is speaking of? The first thing of being saved is clearly
evidenced in the following verse:

“When Jesus raised Himself up, He said to her, Woman, where are your
accusers? Has no man condemned you? She answered, No one, Lord! And
Jesus said, I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and from now on sin
no more.” -John 8:10-11 AMPC

An adulteress confesses Jesus as Lord, is saved, and forgiven. An example of

the second part of John 20:23 where it says if you retain the sins of anyone,
they are retained:

“Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy (every evil, abusive, injurious
speaking, or indignity against sacred things) can be forgiven men, but
blasphemy against the [Holy] Spirit shall not and cannot be forgiven.” -
Matthew 12:31 AMPC

The Bible speaks of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit SHALL NOT and
CANNOT be forgiven. This tells me that God chooses to forgive or in certain
situations described in scripture can choose not to forgive. Please refer to the
following scripture for an example:

“Wasn’t it yours while you possessed it? And after it was sold, wasn’t it at your
disposal? Why is it that you planned this thing in your heart? You have not lied
to men but to God! ” When he heard these words, Ananias dropped dead, and
a great fear came on all who heard.” -Acts 5:4-5 HCSB

“Thus shall he who conquers (is victorious) be clad in white garments, and I
will not erase or blot out his name from the Book of Life; I will acknowledge
him [as Mine] and I will confess his name openly before My Father and before
His angels. [Ps. 69:28; Dan. 12:1.]” -Revelation 3:5 AMPC
Jesus is saying in this verse that He will not erase or blot out the name of the
one who conquers from the book of life. If you read all the messages to the 7
churches in the book of Revelation starting in Revelation chapter 2 you will
see that 5 of the 7 churches are asked to repent. You will also notice from
these verses that Jesus can and will erase names from the Book of Life if
members of His church refuse to repent. One final scripture:

“How much worse (sterner and heavier) punishment do you suppose he will
be judged to deserve who has spurned and [thus] trampled underfoot the Son
of God, and who has considered the covenant blood by which he was
consecrated common and unhallowed, thus profaning it and insulting and
outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and
blessing of God)?” -Hebrews 10:29 AMPC

In other words, if the blood-washed Holy Ghost-filled saints of God refuse to

repent and continue in sin, they will be subject to harsher judgement since
they trampled underfoot the blood of Christ and take the grace of God for
granted.

I read the gospel script to a Mormon and he got saved. He asked me for a
copy of the gospel script because he said he liked what was in it. I told him to
read it to everyone he knows, and he said that he would. Later on I met a cult
member at the train station and won him to the Lord using the gospel script.
He said, "I feel good, I have never felt this before." Another man at the subway
station said he felt "overwhelmed" when he got saved. Today I led 5 cult
members, 3 Hindus, 1 Jew, and 8 from the Jain religion to the Lord using the
gospel script. At the end of the night, we went to Times Square to share the
gospel script on another bus. The day ended at 12:00 midnight when we got
home, and I ended up leading 297 people to the Lord. To do this, I had to
speak to over 500 people. -6/27/07

Before church we preached on the streets and several people gave their lives
to the Lord. I led a cult member to Christ and preached in a hair salon.
Another man had pain in his chest and tumors in his stomach. I spoke to him
by the spirit of God that he would be healed. After prayer I asked him if the
tumors were still there. He said "I believe God is doing a work, but the tumors
and pain are still there." I said "that's not what I asked, I didn't ask if God could
heal you, I asked if God already healed you." After laying hands on him, he
said the tumors and pain was gone. The miracles continued inside the church
service that am. A lady testified a lump was gone from her throat and she
could raise her hands above her head after prayer. The Apostle Peter was
hand-picked by Jesus, anointed, and called, but failed that divine call until he
had an encounter with the most high God. Peter denied our Lord 3 times
before he was restored and preached his greatest message on the day of
Pentecost. Your greatest sermon has yet to be preached. Moses was called,
chosen, and anointed as a deliverer for God's people until he had an
encounter with God. See Exodus 3:10-22.
-February 2024

Miracles are for the lost-I walked up to a guy sitting on a bench and preached
the gospel and started to lead his 3 friends to the Lord. Suddenly he
interrupted me and said "I'm a Rasta, she is a Rasta, he is a Buddhist, and he
is a member of a cult." I said "the Bible says 'WHOSOEVER calls on the name
of the Lord shall be saved,' and that includes Rastafarians, Buddhists, and cult
members, you can all call on the name of the Lord." Just then one of his
friends testified God healed him of pain when I met him previously. The guy
still refused to accept the Lord, but his 3 friends accepted the Lord. Just then
another guy walked by who was in a car accident and couldn't walk properly.
The Lord saved him and healed him, he was walking normally. He testified to
the 4 people on the bench. Still the Rasta guy refused to accept the Lord, and
I told him of the reality of heaven and hell. Later another guy elsewhere
refused to accept the Lord, but immediately after he was healed of pain from a
car accident, he accepted the Lord. 3 others were healed of breathing issues,
and one guy said "this has never happened before." -February 2024

When I planned to preach a message about healing, God had me preach a

message about consecration and many were healed.
I spent hours creating 15 sermons for an overseas missions trip, and God
would only allow me to use 1 message.
When I planned out a message, the Spirit of the Lord would change my plans
and lead me to share my testimony instead.
When I created 20 point messages the Spirit of God would not allow me to use
it, so my sermon notes became 3 scripture references on a crumpled piece of
paper.
When I used creative metaphors to communicate the gospel, it always failed.
When I simply preached the gospel, it always worked, and souls were saved.
When I was forsaken, broken, and desolate, I was ready to be used in the
healing ministry.
When I lost my grip on life, the hand of Jesus carried me.
When I refused to yield to my intelligence, eloquence, and education, and
instead yielded to the Holy Spirit's urging to communicate the gospel in purity,
simplicity, and clarity, many lives were transformed.
My life has been exactly like the shrieking lyrics of a heavy metal band:
impossible to understand.
God has made me 100% impossible to understand by all who know me. When
I said to my friend "I will never go to India, I'm called to Africa," the Lord told
me to go to India.
When I ran out of words to say, God gave me what to say.
To shake this generation, you have to be shaken by the power of God
almighty.
When I desired to have an international ministry God hid me in obscurity for
decades.
But He will gain world renown for the mighty miracles He will do through my
life in 2024.

Church without borders

Church in the schools, church in the streets, church on buses and trains,
church in the temples, church in the bars, church in the nightclubs, church at
the parades, church in the prisons, church in the remote villages, church in the
ER waiting rooms, church in the nail salons, hair salons, and barbershops,
church in the forgotten and desolate places, church in the restaurants. This is
why the devil hates me so much, because I am going on a regular basis into
his territory. I would rather establish a rescue station a couple yards from hell
than stay idle with the snoring saints. As a representative of Christ's infinite
compassion for the lost, I am committed to the mission of holding church
without borders. While many in the church wait for the entire world to enter the
4 walls of the church, the Lord has commanded His church to go out and
preach in the entire world. I don't mind looking ridiculous to the perishing to
see the miraculous. Please reread the words of Christ: "Go ye into ALL THE
WORLD, and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE."

I’ve seen Jesus do 93 separate miracles in 5 days in the Middle East including
13 blind or partially blind eyes open. One person called in the call center,
asking for prayer for her unborn child, since the child was diagnosed with
down's syndrome, but 2 weeks later she called back to say the unborn child no
longer had that diagnosis and was healthy. Another lady in Montana I led to
the Lord and prayed for said she was healed of pain from muscular dystrophy.
Another woman I prayed for at a Cheyenne reservation was healed of pain
from cancer outside a hospital. More than one person has been healed of pain
from multiple sclerosis, AIDS, arthritis, sickle cell anemia, and osteoporosis.
Jesus caused a woman's spine to instantly straighten that was twisted by
scoliosis outside a DMV in Orlando. Jesus caused multiple people with COPD,
pneumonia, and asthma to breathe normally. Jesus caused multiple people
bedfast from a deadly malaria fever to be healed in a hospital in Kenya. I've
seen Jesus dissolve kidney stones, fibroid tumors, and cancerous tumors.
Many times I have seen people suffering pain from metal rods and plates in
their body healed and receive full mobility. A little boy with multiple holes in his
heart in Tampa had God spontaneously close the holes after I prayed for him
according to a medical report. I was in the service when a dead security guard
was raised to life in January 2023. I’ve seen 97 different
miracles in 8 days in Ft. Worth, TX, I’ve seen Jesus restore bone, ligaments,
and tendons. I’ve seen the Lord melt large tumors, cure cancer, heal AIDS,
cause cripples to walk without canes, crutches, and wheelchairs. I’ve seen
Him open deaf ears so they didn’t need hearing aids, I’ve seen him lengthen
shortened legs, miraculously cure incurable heart conditions, and I have seen
lost souls come to Christ most importantly.

Last night the Lord spoke to me concerning my past, my present, my future,

He told me everything I ever did, (John 4:29) He reminded me of every
question I ever asked Him, He reminded me He was with me during all my
hardships, He was with me during times of great victory, and He was high
above all my dreams, desires, doubts, and fears. It's incomprehensible that in
a single moment of time he could accurately and completely describe all I had
felt and did for the last 46 years of my life, but He absolutely did so, and I was
weeping uncontrollably during the service. -February 2024

One person I preached to suffered from neuropathy, a stroke, diabetes,

COPD, blood pressure problems, chronic pain, a broken tailbone and had to
use a walker. When I prayed, all the pain left this person’s body. Another
person had bulging discs in her back, suffered from 11 years of excruciating
pain, and used a walker and had pain. After prayer, all the pain was gone.
Another person had meningoencephalitis, only 1 of 7 people live from this
condition, and she had pain her entire life. She had 31 surgeries, pain, and a
knee brace, but after prayer, all the pain left her body. Another person was
weeping as he received healing from arthritic back pain. Another person had
to use a cane and suffered from arthritis and pain, but after prayer, all the pain
left her body. Another person I ministered to had kidney pain and was on
dialysis, but after prayer, all the pain was gone. One person suffered from
arthritis and osteoporosis pain, but after prayer, the pain was gone. Another
lady had a hole in one of her internal organs, COPD, pain in her heart and
stomach, but after prayer, all the pain left her body. Another person had a 2”
knot on her body disappear, and the pain was gone. Another person suffered
from diabetes, heart condition, and blood pressure issues, but after prayer, all
the pain was gone. -Florida 2017

But the Lord said to him, Go, for this man is a chosen instrument of Mine to
bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the descendants of Israel;
For I will make clear to him how much he will be afflicted and must endure and
suffer for My name’s sake. Acts 9:15-16
318 laborers reached out to 12 cities in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metro area to 22
nursing homes and 6 boys and girls clubs with the result of 2777 decisions for
Christ. -Summer 2017

When a man of God prophesied over 2 young girls that they would have a
healing ministry I felt the fire of God wash over me. Today I saw 31 distinct
miracles, cripples in wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and oxygen masks healed.

God can do more in an instant than we can do in a lifetime of "praying about

it."
In an instant Lazarus was raised from the dead as proof that Jesus is the Son
of God.
In a single instant Gideon's army was victorious over the Philistines. In a
moment of time Moses raised his staff, and the Red Sea was parted. In a
moment the youth David was anointed King over the nation of Israel. At the
command of a single word from Jesus, the demons went into the pigs and the
pigs drowned.
In a moment of time Moses encountered God at the burning bush.

In traveling the country winning souls I have spent 8 weeks in NYC, 14 weeks
in the L.A valley, over 5 weeks in the DFW metro area, over 6 weeks in DC, 2
weeks in the greater Orlando area, over 6 weeks in the greater Miami area,
and 4 weeks in 2 of the islands of Hawaii.

This morning when I saw groups of Masons in full formal attire, the
compassion of Christ rose up strong inside me. I won to the Lord the following
groups in Jacksonville: 3 Knights Templar Masons including the group's
leader, 13 high ranking Masons, and 4 Order of the Eastern Star. -Jan 16,
2018

The tragedy of the cross is not simply limited to our dear Savior losing His life,
but also a mother lost her son, brothers lost their sibling, and a small group of
friends lost their best friend. After Jesus was grotesquely murdered, He raised
again, and the Bible says in 1 Peter 2:24 “by his stripes we are healed.” Even
though the Bible says “He was marred more than any other man,” even
though He no longer resembled a man, God brought final and complete
healing through that sacrifice. That tells me God can take the greatest loss
and humiliation of your life and use it to enforce the devil’s defeat. Nothing in
all human history before or since could bridge such a gap between God and
man like the cross. Jesus’ death on the cross and subsequent resurrection
was the single catalyst for redemption for all mankind.
You might be religious if....you call me up because I preached about winning
souls at a funeral and threaten me with physical force.
You might be religious if....you punch me so hard for preaching the gospel I
was in pain a week later, but you just finished talking about God to everyone.
You might be religious if....you are a drunk girl outside of a bar in St. Pete and
began to give my friend bloody scratches because he refused to shut up about
the love of God.
You might be religious if....you are a drug dealer in downtown L.A. who claims
to believe in God but began to threaten me when I refused to shut up about
the love of God.

I have been speaking lately about a place in the healing anointing of God that I
have touched many times but have never stayed there. Now I sense God will
cause me to live and abide in that place, that a flood of these mighty miracles
will begin to happen on a daily basis through my life for the purpose of the end
time harvest of souls. A friend called me and was almost at the point of tears
from back pain, but after prayer all back pain was gone. I quickly hung up the
phone and began preaching to everyone in a line outside a DMV just before it
opened. A man said he had a hip replacement and 2 knee replacements,
arthritis, tendinitis, vascular necrosis which means lack of blood flow causes
the bones to die. His back had 2 broken discs, on 2 different pain meds
including oxycodone and diclofenac cream for tendonitis. But after prayer all
the pain left his body, and more people got saved. God can allow moments
where everyone stops everything and listens to the lifesaving message of the
gospel.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in
good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].” -3
John 1:2 AMP

True prosperity means God causes your spirit to prosper, it means health,
growth, wealth, and prosperity. If your spirit is not prospering it throws
everything off. If people only look to financial prosperity and ignore spiritual
prosperity it is a mistake. We must desire Him and His anointing, the true
riches, what the Bible talks about is the powers of the world to come.
Heaven’s power to reach a dying world, the true riches to destroy the powers
of the enemy and the grip of cults that he has held on some generations for
thousands and thousands of years.

Me: "hello everyone, God loves you, do you know for sure that you would go
to heaven?"
Her: "No, I do not."
Me: "The Bible says: 'for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.' If
you want to accept Christ, say this prayer.."
Her: "No, I'm not going to heaven, my belief is different than yours." Me:
"What's your belief?"
Her: "I am a Jehovah's Witness, we don't believe anyone goes to heaven."
Me: "Ok, the Bible says 'whosoever calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved,' and a Jehovah's Witness is a whosoever, say this prayer." Her: "No."
Me: "Ok, just say this prayer now."
Her: "No."
Me: I begin to pray over her sickness, and the fire of God is present, and I say
"Say this prayer, 'Dear Lord Jesus,'"
Her: "Dear Lord Jesus,"
Me: "come into my heart, be my Lord and Savior, thank you for dying and
raising again"
Her: Repeats the rest of the prayer.

A pastor I met in Orlando, FL said it was really hard to go out witnessing today
because of the severe pain, and people were asking if he was ok, but he went
anyway. He suffered pain and partial paralysis from a stroke. I felt impressed
in my heart that the back condition was extremely severe, and, after I asked
he said he had some of his discs fused in his back during surgery. I prayed
God would recreate his back and separate the fused discs. All the pain left
and his spine was no longer fused, it was moving freely and felt warm. Also
he said the swelling and inflammation went down in his back, and walked with
a lot of improvement. I said "you know how many people you can tell about
Jesus now?" -11-3-17

When we preach the gospel at the very gates of hell, the power of God is
manifested stronger than the power of the enemy. Demons knew Paul and
Jesus because they had the kingdom of darkness set back when cripples
walked and tumors dissolved. The Bible talks about "for this purpose the Son
of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." When
Jesus causes a tumor to dissolve, He is simultaneously dissolving the power
the devil has over that person. As hell comes to physically manifest on the
earth in the form of sickness, the power of heaven is made manifest to uproot,
disrupt, neutralize, and completely obliterate the works of the enemy.

After traveling hundreds of miles to 6 different cities in 6 different counties in

the state of Florida in 5 days I saw a total of 868 decisions for Christ and 80
distinct miracles. -11-22-17

Final update Uganda November 2022: 2671 saved, 5 churches planted in

schools, 9 schools visited, traveled and ministered in 10 cities, and ministered
in 7 churches. Kampala, Kamuli, Iganga, Mukono, Bufutula village, Butansi
village, Nakabira village, Namavundu village, Buyende village and Makoka
village.

11-7-22 Uganda day 1: I preached on miracles on the first am service. A lady

had a stomach tumor, a bad liver and 6 years of tremendous pain in her neck
and stomach but after prayer all the pain was gone. Another lady had pain in
her neck, but after prayer she was instantly healed. Another lady had pain in
her back and neck instantly leave after prayer. Another lady in the service had
ulcers in her stomach, but after the laying on of hands the ulcers went down.
Tonight after preaching as I was praying for the sick the Spirit of the Lord had
me to call out internal organs being recreated. A lady came to the front with
ulcers and pain in her chest, and IMMEDIATELY all the pain left her body, and
all the swelling from the ulcers went down.

Uganda 11-9-22 I preached in a remote area called Buyende, they were so

welcoming. After leading some people to the Lord, I began to pray for the sick,
and a man with pain in his head was gone. Another lady testified that ulcers
went down in her stomach and most of the pain was gone, 8 different people
were healed of pain. In Uganda I learned the source of the Nile River is in
Uganda, and that source is owned by a specific African tribe.

Uganda 11-10-22 AM preached and gave an altar call at a school of 7 grades,

375 students, and prayed for the sick with signs following. Afternoon
conference service I preached to a packed house with overflow. Demons left a
woman when the other evangelist prayed, and 7 people could barely hold her,
but she was set free. PM outdoor crusade I preached from John 4:29, and
many gave their hearts to the Lord. The crowd thronged the platform, and as I
laid hands on the sick, several people were healed of pain. Back pain, tooth
pain, and stomach pain all has to go. I was speaking about creative miracles,
and a young man came forward whose body was severely damaged by
disease was also suffering tremendous pain. After praying for him and laying
hands on him, he informed us that his body was made whole and pain was
gone!! There are too many testimonies to even remember at this point, but I
moved through the crowd of people, and laid hands on many others were
healed of pain. Months later we heard the good report from the church we
planted in the school the student pastors we appointed were holding 7
different prayer meetings, one for each grade every day, 7 days a week.
Uganda 11-8-22 Update: I met a high ranking political leader who was not
healed the first time I prayed but I felt led to pray twice and the pain was gone
instantly.
11-16-22 Uganda-I was preaching in Iganga from John 9:39 Jesus said “I
came into this world for judgement, in order that those who do not see will see
and those who do see will become blind.” I was explaining to the people that
the blind man seeing was judgement against the Pharisees, since they
claimed to see, but would become spiritually blind. The Pharisees were
blinded by rage and envy against Jesus and did not recognize their own
messiah, but the blind man accepted and believed in Jesus. A lady suffered
from a swollen stomach and pain, but after prayer all the pain and swelling
was gone. A mom brought up a 3 year old baby and since birth the baby’s
arms were partially paralyzed and she felt pain when she held the baby.
Immediately after prayer all paralysis were gone from the baby, and the pain
left the mother’s body. Another lady testified she was healed of back pain of
over 6 years, another lady was healed of leg pain.

Uganda 11-17-22 That night I felt nothing at all, I was a little tired, I was
struggling to remember the next sentence of a message I preached before. I
prayed for the sick and nothing happened, but as I was preaching about the
love of God that caused Jesus to come to earth and die for us, the fire of God
hit me. It is simply mind blowing that the sovereign God, the uncreated one,
the one who existed before time, who possesses all power should require not
our help, but our cooperation to work miracles. All I did was say “in the name
of Jesus,” and 9 different people were healed of various pain. A woman had
ulcers and her stomach was swollen for years, since she was a little child, but
she testified instantly the ulcers disappeared. Another woman said she had
pain from a small object that fell in her ear for over 1 year and doctors couldn’t
find it. I asked the people: “ how many of you believe that Jesus can cause
this object to cease to exist?” Many in the crowd energized their faith and
stretched out their hand towards her, and she testified that the pain was gone
after prayer. A pastor’s wife testified that last night I prayed for her sister in
another city, and she was healed of years of back pain that surgery could not
fix. I led to the Lord 457 students in 5 schools today along with salvations at
church tonight, and planted 3 churches within the schools. In the early
afternoon we also preached on a radio station in a cult area.
At a recent open air crusade in Kamuli, Uganda in 2022 we had 50 first time
visitors come to the church of 200 members and get saved in just 3 days.

“The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing flame of fire from the
midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was on fire, yet it was
not consumed. Then God said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your
feet [out of respect], because the place on which you are standing is holy
ground.”” -Exodus 3:2, 5 AMP
We have become so concerned with the names of the location, the dirt that
people live, that we have forgotten the precious creations that live on the dirt
that Jesus died for. In the scripture, Moses was transfixed by the manifest
presence of a living God. He went from being a murderer and a coward who
hid for 40 years now able to stand up to the leader of a false religion and one
of the most powerful nations in the world. One encounter with God can cause
you to rise up and defy a nation with only what’s in your hand, a staff. When
you encounter Him, no man is powerful enough to stop your mission, you are
branded forever, changed, radically transformed by the Spirit of God, ready to
share the gospel in all circumstances with a dying world.

X STANDS FOR THE CROSS

My generation was called “generation x,” and it was said that there was
something about them that was undefinable, unknown, and they didn’t really
belong anywhere. This generation x’r stands for the cross of Christ, for
holiness, for the healing power of God and salvation. What others do not really
know or understand about my generation, God does, since he promised
Jeremiah He knew him before he formed him in his mother’s womb.
In 2021 while ministering in Hoonah, AK, a small indigenous fishing village, I
met a man. He was so hard of hearing he literally could not carry on a
conversation with me. Finally, after yelling almost as loud as I could, he
understood me. He had hearing problems since 1961. One of his eyes had
completely lost sight due to a glaucoma operation, and the other eye could
see, but things were very blurry. First, he accepted the Lord, just as several
others throughout the island had done. Then I prayed for healing, nothing at all
happened at first, but I felt impressed in my heart to pray again, and rebuke
the spirit of blindness and deafness. Suddenly, I was speaking to him in a
normal tone of voice, God had 100% restored his hearing. I held up my fingers
for him to count, he said they were not blurry, God had restored his vision. I
am living in the encounter with God.

“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The
words I say to you I do not say on My own initiative or authority, but the
Father, abiding continually in Me, does His works [His attesting miracles and
acts of power]. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me;
otherwise believe [Me] because of the [very] works themselves [which you
have witnessed].” -John 14:10-11 AMP

I believe Jesus because of the works themselves, the miracles and acts of
power show that Jesus is God and He came to seek and to save that which is
lost. When we spend time with Jesus who has a great compassion on people,
we will also love people and be filled with that same compassion.
“”Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the
Messiah? ”” -John 4:29

“Now many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of what the
woman said when she testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”” -John 4:39

“And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said,
for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the
world.”” -John 4:42

“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the
Father except through me.” “If you had really known me, you would know who
my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!”” -John
14:6-7

“Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions
and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then
come, follow me.”” -Matthew 19:21

24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to
sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” -1
Peter 2:24

And though thy beginning was small, Yet thy latter end would greatly increase.
-Job 8:7

Bonnke said he sent out buses at first and the buses came back empty. He
said “no anointing.” He is only one of the greatest evangelists ever. His
statement always helped me, I was the worst soulwinner in the entire Bible
school. I went out for 9 mo and only led 1 person to Christ. I prayed for several
hundred sick people for 8 years and hardly anyone ever got healed. I
encountered God’s fire for the first time in 2006 when I was in a service and
the pastor asked who has been disobedient to God? I began to list everything
I had been doing for the Lord, including preaching the gospel in bars. But then
I felt strongly impressed to go to the front to receive prayer. I felt the presence
of God stronger than I have ever felt and from that day some days everyone
was healed and saved. God gave me multiplied thousands of salvations and
hundreds of miracles in a single day.

When I talk to people who have not led people to the Lord, I of course
encourage them to read the script, and I also tell them to get in front of as
many people as possible. I try to inspire them to talk to 1000 people a day,
since the more people you talk to, the more people get saved. You could talk
to 1000 people and 900 say no, but then the next 1000 you can have 600 get
saved. On the job training has always helped me with soulwinning. I tell
people to try to jump on 50-100 buses a day. When you are praying for the
sick, keep it extremely simple, I have seen more happen with short prayers
than long prayers. If you meet a group of people with kids present, I typically
ask the kids to lay hands on the sick and just say “in the name of Jesus.”
Everything I have done for 25 years I have done without a mailing list, without
even one monthly financial supporter, and without being a 501c3 organization.
Do not let people pigeon hole you and intimidate you into starting a 501c3 for
no reason, God can bring support through a non traditional means, do not limit
Him, and as you begin to do more He will bring more support. Jesus told Peter
to catch a fish to get a coin and pay for taxes, not to write a support letter. As
a missionary you have to figure out exactly what God is telling you to do and
do exactly that. Do not expect friends and family to support what you do, I
have had friends and family beg me not to go to places God was leading me
to go. There has never been more opposition to my personal choices in life
and my ministry choices than the present time, Jesus said “the world hates
me, it will hate you.” For me the thing God has laid on my heart is to do mass
crusades in places like Africa and south Asia where many people are lost and
suffering. I don’t just buy a plane ticket and fly somewhere, each trip has a
divine purpose and mission, and you have to find out from God what exactly is
your mission. 80% of the cost of the crusades I am doing overseas is the
plane ticket. You have to find support in a nation to be able to do a mass
crusade, you need pastor’s networks of 1000 pastors or more to get behind it.
A traditional way most people get funded in America is they preach at
churches in the nation and gain financial support, but, although I have
preached at many churches, that has never been a main avenue of support for
me. In south Asia a man who is a pastor is going to help organize and
advertise for the crusade, I use this as an example. He holds these mass
crusades on a regular basis but I am in the role of a guest speaker. We will
hold 11 outdoor crusades and a church service in 12 cities in 24 days in the
country. It is common for ministers to travel 6 or 7 days round trip to remote
regions and minister 3 days. To me, it makes sense that you should be
preaching at a place longer than you are flying to it. The presidents of Africa
are closer to kings I think in the authority they wield. So that is a good goal to
be able to use all avenues to preach the gospel. Also, you can always just
have a local church meeting but preach in 20-30 schools during the day, it
doesn’t cost much money. -December 2022
To be honest, yesterday was a really bad day, I was jet lagged, extremely
tired, working off only 4 hrs of sleep, a little upset with JetBlue because they
lost my checked bag with most of my clothes. Also, my car was broken down
and I had no idea if I could get it fixed or how much it would be. Then I got a
phone call, I had a couple hrs notice to preach in Nepal online to young girls
who were just rescued. The phone call came at the wrong time so I had only 6
min to preach, lead people to Christ, and pray for the sick. Everyone accepted
Christ, multiple people were healed of headaches, another person was healed
instantly of stomach pain, others healed of pain from HIV, another girl was
experiencing pain and heavy bleeding in the service, but instantly all pain left
and the flow of blood stopped. The girls said they felt different, they felt free.
They said they want to preach the gospel. I heard about most of it later, I
thought nothing happened. Then I got a call from India I had 20 min to prepare
and I immediately preached the gospel via video chat. These nations are
burning in my heart I cannot ignore it anymore, the need is too great, I
must obey. They found my bag, I fixed my car, fuel pump, only $170, ok not as
mad at Jet Blue. -November 2022

“For I [Myself] will give you a mouth and such utterance and wisdom that all of
your foes combined will be unable to stand against or refute.” -Luke 21:15

We traveled to 4 rural villages in Limpopo including Mulodi, Tswinga, and

Thavhani to hold crusades and preach the gospel. Altogether we won 744
people to the Lord, and prayed for 3 different chiefs of the villages. 2 of the 3
chiefs prayed to accept the Lord, and we had the opportunity to enter the
village council and lead those in leadership under the chief to the Lord. We
met a community leader and principal at a school during graduation ceremony
in Mulodi village. We shared the gospel during the graduation, and the
principal agreed to plant a church in the school, and begin weekly church
services. -Dec 2023

“But look to yourselves; for they will turn you over to councils, and you will be
beaten in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for
My sake as a testimony to them. And the good news (the Gospel) must first be
preached to all nations.” -Mark 13:9-10 AMPC

What is accepted by the world is rejected by God, we must be rejected by the

world in order to be acceptable. It is completely impossible to be universally
praised by the world and God, the two are diametrically opposed, as the Bible
says “friendship with the world is enmity with God.”

If Joseph was not betrayed by his brothers and sent to Egypt, he would not
have interpreted the dream of the chief butler, and would not have been made
second in command of Egypt. (Genesis 41:9-39). If Joseph did not accurately
interpret Pharaoh’s dream, he would not have had the opportunity to preserve
his nation and other nations during the famine.
If Hannah was not barren, she would not seek the Lord with as much intensity
with fasting and prayer. If she was not barren she might not have made a vow
to God to commit his life to the service of the Lord. (1 Samuel 1)

If Pharaoh had never ordered the male children of Hebrew slaves to be killed,
Moses’ mother would have never tried to hide him, and he would have never
been found by the daughter of Pharaoh. “So Pharaoh commanded all his
people, saying, “Every son who is born you shall cast into the river, and every
daughter you shall save alive.”” -Exodus 1:22 NKJV
(Exodus 2:1-10) If Moses’ life was not preserved, he could never deliver the
nation of Israel and defeat the entire army of Egypt with a simple wooden staff.

If Daniel had not been thrown into the lion’s den, he would have never seen
the mighty hand of God to deliver him and bring the fate meant for God’s child
to his accusers. (Daniel 6:24-27)

If Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had not faced severe testing in the fiery
furnace, God would not have the opportunity to preserve them from certain
death (Daniel 3:28-29).

If Peter had success in fishing he might not have surrendered everything and
followed Jesus– ‘A fisher of men’ (Luke 5:1-11). Jesus never changed who
Peter was, but He simply changed the type of fish Peter caught, that’s why I
am going deep sea diving for some drug dealers, no one is so far gone that
Jesus cannot save them. After Peter denied our Lord, he repented and
according to Acts 1:8, he received true intimacy with the Holy Spirit so he was
bold to proclaim the gospel even in the face of arrests.
If these mighty men and women of God never faced adversity, they could
never seek God to find victory. If everything went fine without problems, they
would never find their true identity in Christ. Even though Joseph suffered in
slavery and prison for 13 years, in a single day at 38 years old he was exalted
by the hand of God to one of the highest political offices in the entire history of
the Bible. What are you facing?

The Names of Jesus

1)The Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, the
Lord who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all-
AMP) -Rev 1:8
2)The First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life -Rev 2:8 3)Which
(appearing) will be shown forth in His own proper time by the blessed, only
Sovereign (Ruler), the King of kings and the Lord of lords, -1 Tim 6:15 AMP
Who alone has immortality (in the sense of exemption from every kind of
death) and lives in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or can
see. Unto Him be honor and everlasting power and dominion. Amen (so be it).
-1 Tim 6:16 AMP
4)He who lives, and was dead, and behold, He is alive forevermore, amen.
And have the keys of hades and of death. -Rev 1:18
And the Ever-living One (I am living in the eternity of the eternities). I died, but
see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the
realm of the dead). -Rev 1:18 AMP
5)AND THERE shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse (David’s
father), and a Branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit. -Isaiah 11:1
AMP
6)In that day the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and the
fruit of the land shall be excellent and lovely to those who have escaped. -
Isaiah 4:2 AMP
7)Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up to David a
Righteous Branch (Sprout), -Jeremiah 23:5a AMP
8)The root and offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star -Rev 22:16
9)2For He [the Servant of God] grew up before Him like a tender shoot (plant),

And like a root out of dry ground; He has no stately form or majestic splendor
That we would look at Him, Nor [handsome] appearance that we would be
attracted to Him. -Isaiah 53:2

10)15He is the exact living image [the essential manifestation] of the unseen
God [the visible representation of the invisible], the firstborn [the preeminent
one, the sovereign, and the originator] of all creation. 17And He Himself
existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the
controlling, cohesive force of the universe.] 18He is also the head [the life-
source and leader] of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will occupy the first place [He will
stand supreme and be preeminent] in everything. -Colossians 1:15, 17-18

Romans 5:12, 14
[12]Therefore, as sin came into the world through one man, and death as the
result of sin, so death spread to all men, [no one being able to stop it or to
escape its power] because all men sinned. [14]Yet death held sway from
Adam to Moses [the Lawgiver], even over those who did not themselves
transgress [a positive command] as Adam did. Adam was a type (prefigure) of
the One Who was to come [in reverse, the former destructive, the Latter
saving]. [Gen. 5:5; 7:22; Deut. 34:5.]

Adam is a type of Christ, according to the Bible. Through Adam's

transgression, sin and death entered the world. Through Christ's obedience,
many were made righteous.
Romans 5:15
[15]But God's free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass [His grace is
out of all proportion to the fall of man]. For if many died through one man's
falling away (his lapse, his offense), much more profusely did God's grace and
the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favor of the one Man Jesus
Christ abound and overflow to and for [the benefit of] many.
There are two trees, one of them is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
and one is the cross or tree according to Gal 3:13 "cursed is anyone hanging
on a tree." The free gift of God is not at all to be compared to the
trespass. This means the grace and redemption through the blood of Christ is
greater than the trespass. Jesus restored everything Adam lost and much
more. Healing, redemption, salvation, soundness of mind and body were
purchased at the cross.

The two gardens, the Garden of Eden and Garden of Gethsemane

So the Lord God took the man [He had made] and settled him in the Garden of
Eden to cultivate and keep it. -Gen 2:15

36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he
said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and
the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and
troubled. -Matt 26:36-37

One garden was a paradise where God put Adam when He created Him. The
other garden was a place of sorrow for Jesus. A place He consecrated His will
to the Father's and the place of His betrayal.

The two trees: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree (or
cross) where Jesus was crucified.

Because Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, it brought
sin and death to all mankind. If Adam never ate the fruit from this tree, Jesus
would not have had to die on the cross for our sins.

Genesis 2:17
[17]But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and blessing and
calamity you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

Christ was crucified on a cruel tree for everyone, for the redemption and
salvation of you and me. The first tree brought death, through Christ's
obedience to die in the second tree, the cross, it brought life and healing to the
world.

[13]Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the
Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is
written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is
crucified); [Deut. 21:23.] -Galatians 3:13

His love kept Him on that tree because of you and me

The Bible says Jesus could have called legions of angels to rescue Him, but
He did not. It was not the three nails that held Him on that cross, it was His
love that kept Him on that tree. His love kept Him on that tree because of you
and me. His love kept Him on that tree because He knew we would fail and
would need a redeemer.

Romans 5:16-21
[16]Nor is the free gift at all to be compared to the effect of that one [man's]
sin. For the sentence [following the trespass] of one [man] brought
condemnation, whereas the free gift [following] many transgressions brings
justification (an act of righteousness). [17]For if because of one man's
trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely
will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free
gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as
kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed
One). [18]Well then, as one man's trespass [one man's false step and falling
away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man's act of righteousness
[leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men. [19]For just
as by one man's disobedience (failing to hear, heedlessness, and
carelessness) the many were constituted sinners, so by one Man's obedience
the many will be constituted righteous (made acceptable to God, brought into
right standing with Him). [20]But then Law came in, [only] to expand and
increase the trespass [making it more apparent and exciting opposition]. But
where sin increased and abounded, grace (God's unmerited favor) has
surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded, [21]So that, [just] as
sin has reigned in death, [so] grace (His unearned and undeserved favor)
might reign also through righteousness (right standing with God) which issues
in eternal life through Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) our Lord.

Genesis 3:6,15,17
[6]And when the woman saw that the tree was good (suitable, pleasant) for
food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to
make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some also to her
husband, and he ate. [15]And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her Offspring; He will bruise and tread your
head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel. [17]And to Adam
He said, Because you have listened and given heed to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not
eat of it, the ground is under a curse because of you; in sorrow and toil shall
you eat [of the fruits] of it all the days of your life.

1 Corinthians 15:22,45
[22]For just as [because of their union of nature] in Adam all people die, so
also [by virtue of their union of nature] shall all in Christ be made alive.
[45]Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual
personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the
dead to life]. [Gen. 2:7.]

Christ is called the "last Adam" because he restored mankind's relationship

with God. When Adam was first created, he had fellowship with God in the
garden of Eden, but his transgression severed that relationship. When Jesus
said "it is finished," He was saying the redemption of mankind is complete. He
was restoring mankind's relationship with God that Adam lost. Jesus was
literally reversing the damage done by Adam, and so much more than that.

1 Corinthians 15:46-49
[46]But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the
spiritual. [47]The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-
minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven. [48]Now those who
are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-
minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of
heaven (heavenly-minded). [49]And just as we have borne the image [of the
man] of dust, so shall we and so let us also bear the image [of the Man] of
heaven.
The Apostle Paul is saying that we have borne the image of the man of dust
(Adam), but now we should bear the image of Christ. When Adam ate the fruit
of the tree in disobedience, this is a prophetic picture of what Jesus did on the
cross. The "last Adam," Jesus Christ, once and for all has redeemed mankind
through His blood. All we have to do is accept what He did on the cross to be
saved eternally.

John 8:53 AMPC

[53] Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, and all the prophets
died! Who do You make Yourself out to be?

John 8:56-58 AMPC

[56] Your forefather Abraham was extremely happy at the hope and prospect
of seeing My day (My incarnation); and he did see it and was delighted. [Heb.
11:13.] [57] Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and
have You seen Abraham? [58] Jesus replied, I assure you, most solemnly I tell
you, before Abraham was born, I AM.

Genesis 22:2 AMPC

[2] [God] said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and
go to the region of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of
the mountains of which I will tell you.

Genesis 22:8 AMPC

[8] Abraham said, My son, God Himself will provide a lamb for the burnt
offering. So the two went on together.

Genesis 22:11-14
[11]But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, Abraham,
Abraham! He answered, Here I am. [12]And He said, Do not lay your hand on
the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear and revere God,
since you have not held back from Me or begrudged giving Me your son, your
only son. [13]Then Abraham looked up and glanced around, and behold,
behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went
and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering and an ascending
sacrifice instead of his son! [14]So Abraham called the name of that place The
Lord Will Provide. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be
provided.

At the exact moment Abraham was about to sacrifice his son, Isaac out of
obedience, God provided a ram for a sacrifice instead. Abraham, called the
"Father of faith" in the Bible trusted God and the life of his son was spared.
Jesus died on the cross as an offering for our sins, so our lives could be
spared from the second, eternal death in hell. The salvation Jesus offers is
entirely dependent on an individual repenting, accepting Jesus as Lord, and
believing God raised Him from the dead.

Douay-Rheims Bible Gen 22:14

And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon even to this
day it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see.

Here is an OT example of when a close variation of the word "to see" from
Gen 22:14 is used:

Amplified Bible Genesis 13:14+15

The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had left him, “Now lift up your eyes and
look from the place where you are standing, northward and southward and
eastward and westward; for all the land which you see I will give to you and to
your descendants forever.

Aramaic Bible in Plain English Genesis 22:14

And Abraham called the name of that place “LORD JEHOVAH will appear” of
which it is said today, “In this mountain LORD JEHOVAH will appear.”

Different translations make it clear what the verse is saying in Gen 22:14 is
"the Lord has provided, the Lord will appear, and the Lord sees." To me, this is
a prophetic messianic scripture, since Jesus said "Abraham saw my day, and
was glad." God saw, appeared, and provided for Abraham to save his son
from certain death. God saw, appeared, and provided for all of humanity
through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. After the ram was
caught in the thicket and the angel called out to Abraham, the Bible says that
Abraham looked up to see the ram. It was at that moment that Abraham could
have seen in the spirit to see Jesus on the cross, since Mount Moriah was
only a stone's throw from Golgotha where Jesus was crucified. It was at that
moment that the Lord saw mankind's need for a savior, and decided to send
Jesus, who was the "lamb slain before the foundation of the world." In Genesis
13:14+15 God tells Abraham to look in all directions to see the land God would
give him. It could be when the angel told Abraham he "looked up
and glanced around" God was affirming His promise to give him all the land he
saw.

Aramaic Bible in Plain English Gen 22:14

And Abraham called the name of that place “LORD JEHOVAH will appear” of
which it is said today, “In this mountain LORD JEHOVAH will appear.”
Hebrews 11:17-19
[17]By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test [while the testing of his faith
was still in progress], had already brought Isaac for an offering; he who had
gladly received and welcomed [God's] promises was ready to sacrifice his only
son, [18]Of whom it was said, Through Isaac shall your descendants be
reckoned. [Gen. 21:12.] [19]For he reasoned that God was able to raise [him]
up even from among the dead. Indeed in the sense that Isaac was figuratively
dead [potentially sacrificed], he did [actually] receive him back from the dead.

The Apostle Paul is saying that the faith of Abraham was so strong, he trusted
that God could raise Isaac from the dead if he sacrificed him. Isaac was
figuratively dead and potentially sacrificed, because Abraham had to die to his
greatest dream of an heir in obedience to God. When Abraham put Isaac on
the altar, he received him back as if he was dead and brought back to life.
Abraham's disobedience brought forth Ishmael, but his obedience brought
forth Isaac, who was in the genealogical ancestry of Jesus Christ.

A Biblical comparison of Moses and Christ

Exodus 1:15-16 AMPC

[15] Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, of whom one was
named Shiprah and the other Puah, [16] When you act as midwives to the
Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him;
but if it is a daughter, she shall live.

Matthew 2:16 AMPC

[16] Then Herod, when he realized that he had been misled by the wise men,
was furiously enraged, and he sent and put to death all the male children in
Bethlehem and in all that territory who were two years old and under,
reckoning according to the date which he had investigated diligently and had
learned exactly from the wise men.

Exodus 14:16 AMPC

[16] Lift up your rod and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and
the Israelites shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

2 Kings 2:8 AMPC

[8] And Elijah took his mantle and rolled it up and struck the waters, and they
divided this way and that, so that the two of them went over on dry ground.
[14] And he took the mantle that fell from Elijah and struck the waters and
said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? And when he had struck the
waters, they parted this way and that, and Elisha went over. -2 Kings 2:14
AMPC

[25] And in the fourth watch [between 3:00–6:00 a.m.] of the night, Jesus
came to them, walking on the sea. -Matt 14:25 AMP

Exodus 24:18 AMPC

[18] Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up the mountain, and
Moses was on the mountain forty days and nights.

Exodus 34:28 AMPC

[28] Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he ate no
bread and drank no water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the
covenant, the Ten Commandments.

Matthew 4:2 AMPC

[2] And He went without food for forty days and forty nights, and later He was
hungry. [Exod. 34:28; I Kings 19:8.]

Matthew 17:2 AMPC

[2] And His appearance underwent a change in their presence; and His face
shone clear and bright like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light.

Exodus 34:30 AMPC

[30] When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face
shone, and they feared to come near him.

Numbers 21:9 AMPC

[9] And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a pole, and if a serpent
had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze [attentively,
expectantly, with a steady and absorbing gaze], he lived.

John 3:14 AMPC

[14] And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must
[so it is necessary that] the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross], [Num. 21:9.]

Exodus 3:1 HCSB

[1] Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro,
the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came
to Horeb, the mountain of God.

[11] “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the
sheep. -John 10:11 HCSB

Psalm 23:1 AMPC

[1] THE Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.

[10] And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord
knew face to face, [11] [None equal to him] in all the signs and wonders which
the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt–to Pharaoh and to all his servants
and to all his land, -Deut 34:10-11 AMPC

Acts 10:38 AMPC

[38] How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy]
Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good
and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power
of] the devil, for God was with Him.

[50] Nor do you understand or reason out that it is expedient and better for
your own welfare that one man should die on behalf of the people than that
the whole nation should perish (be destroyed, ruined). [51] Now he did not say
this simply of his own accord [he was not self-moved]; but being the high
priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation, [Isa. 53:8.]
-John 11:50-51 AMPC

The high priest at the time prophesied Jesus would give His life. He was and
is the perfect, final passover lamb to redeem the world through His blood. One
single sacrifice to bring salvation to all mankind, no longer dependent on the
blood of bulls and goats.

[19] What then was the purpose of the Law? It was added [later on, after the
promise, to disclose and expose to men their guilt] because of transgressions
and [to make men more conscious of the sinfulness] of sin; and it was
intended to be in effect until the Seed (the Descendant, the Heir) should come,
to and concerning Whom the promise had been made. And it [the Law] was
arranged and ordained and appointed through the instrumentality of angels
[and was given] by the hand (in the person) of a go-between [Moses, an
intermediary person between God and man]. -Gal 3:19 AMP

[5] For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and
men, the Man Christ Jesus, -1 Timothy 2:5 AMPC

God took him [home with Him]. [Heb. 11:5.]

2 Kings 2:11 AMPC

[11] As they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire
parted the two of them, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

Mark 16:19 AMPC

[19] So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into
heaven and He sat down at the right hand of God. [Ps. 110:1.]

[4] Then the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from the heavens for
you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I
may prove them, whether they will walk in My law or not. -Exodus 16:4 AMPC

[32] Jesus then said to them, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Moses did
not give you the Bread from heaven [what Moses gave you was not the Bread
from heaven], but it is My Father Who gives you the true heavenly Bread. [33]
For the Bread of God is He Who comes down out of heaven and gives life to
the world. [35] Jesus replied, I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will
never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and
relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time). -John 6:32-33, 35 AMPC

[10] Jesus said, Make all the people recline (sit down). Now the ground (a
pasture) was covered with thick grass at the spot, so the men threw
themselves down, about 5,000 in number. [11] Jesus took the loaves, and
when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples and the disciples to
the reclining people; so also [He did] with the fish, as much as they wanted. -
John 6:10-11 AMPC

Moses was brought up as a royal Egyptian prince, but was born to a Hebrew
slave.
Jesus is born of an earthly woman whose father is God in heaven. He was
both son of man and Son of God at the same time.

7 The Lord said, “I have in fact seen the affliction (suffering, desolation) of My
people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their
taskmasters (oppressors); for I know their pain and suffering. 8 So I have
come down to rescue them from the hand (power) of the Egyptians, and to
bring them up from that land to a land [that is] good and spacious, to a land
flowing with milk and honey [a land of plenty]—to the place of the Canaanite,
the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. -Exodus
3:7-8

God called Moses to rescue Israel from the power of the Egyptians, and to
bring them from Egypt to the promised land. Matt 2:14b: “Out of Egypt I called
My Son.” This is exactly the same journey Jesus took when He traveled from
Egypt into the promised land centuries later.

God said to Moses, “I Am Who I Am”; and He said, “You shall say this to the
Israelites, ‘I Am has sent me to you.’” -Exodus 3:14

Moses was called to deliver God’s people from the bondage of Egypt through
an encounter with the most high.

19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless [he is forced] by
a strong hand. 20 So I will reach out My hand and strike Egypt with all My
wonders which I shall do in the midst of it; and after that he will let you go. -
Exodus 3:19-20

God is saying that the only way the king of Egypt will let His people go is if he
is forced to by a strong hand. God was going to show His strong hand in
Egypt. God would use Moses to defeat one of the greatest standing armies in
the world with a simple wooden shepherd’s staff. God is reaching out His
strong hand to smite Egypt through signs and wonders. These signs and
wonders would be so powerful, they would prove God is more powerful than
the Egyptian gods.

8 Now the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 9 “When Pharaoh says to you,
‘Work a miracle [to prove your authority],’ then you say to Aaron, ‘Take your
staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, so that it may become a serpent.’” -
Exodus 7:8-9

God is proving His authority through Moses when God made Aaron’s staff into
a serpent. The Egyptian magicians did the same thing, but then Moses’
serpent ate the other snakes, proving God’s authority, and proving God’s
supremacy over false religions or cults.

17 Thus says the Lord, “By this you shall know and recognize and
acknowledge that I am the Lord: look, with the staff in my hand I will strike the
water in the Nile, and it shall be turned to blood. -Exodus 7:17 AMP

God said that you shall know and recognize and acknowledge that He is the
Lord since He turned the Nile into blood. The Egyptian god of the Nile, Hapi,
was shown to be powerless in the face of an all-powerful God. God used
Moses to subvert the power of the false gods, God used Moses to subvert the
military power of Egypt. God is saying that the Egyptians will know that I am
Yahweh when he defeats the army of Egypt. God showed His strength over
the River Nile, the source of water to Egypt. He also showed His power over
the elements when all of Egypt was in complete darkness, but the Israelites
had light.

22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and for three days a thick
darkness was all over the land of Egypt [no sun, no moon, no stars]. 23 The
Egyptians could not see one another, nor did anyone leave his place for three
days, but all the Israelites had [supernatural] light in their dwellings. -Exodus
14:22-23

The ancient Egyptians worshipped Horus, the god of the sun, Ra, the god of
the moon, and Nu, the god of the stars. To the ancient Egyptians the sun,
moon, and stars represented life and fertility. God was showing Himself high
above all the gods of the sun, the moon, and stars. God was showing that He
alone was the true source of life, that there are no other gods apart from Him.
He is all-knowing, all-powerful, ever present, and shows His power in a unique
way that could not be duplicated. God gave light from a different source than
the sun, the moon or stars, He gave light originating in the dwellings of the
Israelites.

[7]Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still
uncontaminated [as you are], for Christ, our Passover [Lamb], has been
sacrificed. -1 Cor 5:7

[46]In one house shall it be eaten [by one company]; you shall not carry any of
the flesh outside the house; neither shall you break a bone of it. [John 19:33,
36.] -Exodus 12:46

John 19:33,36
[33]But when they came to Jesus and they saw that He was already dead,
they did not break His legs. [36]For these things took place, that the Scripture
might be fulfilled (verified, carried out), Not one of His bones shall be broken;

[20]He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. -Psalm 34:20

Christ is our Passover according to 1 Cor 5:7, God gave an instruction that the
lambs sacrificed for the Passover meal should not have their bones broken.
According to the prophetic messianic scripture of Psalm 34:20 it says that not
one of the bones is broken. When Christ was on the cross not one of His
bones was broken as a fulfillment of scripture. Jesus was crucified on the day
of preparation for Passover. The Passover meal is a literal prophetic picture of
Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Because the children of Israel were
obedient to put the blood on their doorposts, the angel of death passed over
their houses, and the lives of their first born children were spared. Because of
the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can find redemption in
His blood. We do this by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and
believing God raised him from the dead. If an individual repents and becomes
born again, they will not be subject to the eternal judgement of hell. When
someone goes to heaven, it means that God passed over them and did not
subject them to the wrath and judgement of God. Christ was perfect, He was
without blemish, He was sinless, He was a firstborn male. According to
Colossians 1:15 he was “the firstborn of all creation. According to Rev 1:5 He
was “the firstborn of the dead.” In this way, Jesus fulfilled completely and
exactly the requirements for a Passover Lamb set out in Exodus 12:5.

[5]Your lamb or kid shall be without blemish, a male of the first year; you shall
take it from the sheep or the goats. [I Pet. 1:19, 20.] -Exodus 12:5

[19]But [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah),
like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot. -1 Peter 1:19
[29]A vessel (jar) full of sour wine (vinegar) was placed there, so they put a
sponge soaked in the sour wine on [a stalk, reed of] hyssop, and held it to
[His] mouth. -John 19:29

[22]And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood in the basin, and
touch the lintel above the door and the two side posts with the blood; and
none of you shall go out of his house until morning. -Exodus 12:22

As part of the Passover, Moses instructed the people to dip a bunch of hyssop
in animal blood and touch the doorway with the blood. This is a direct
prophetic parallel to John 19:29 when they used hyssop to give Jesus a
sponge soaked in sour wine on the cross. Also, no foreigner was allowed to
eat the Passover meal, this is a direct parallel to the fact that we have to be
born again to be redeemed by the blood of Jesus.

[43]The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover:
No foreigner shall eat of it; -Exodus 12:43

Exodus 12:23
[23]For the Lord will pass through to slay the Egyptians; and when He sees
the blood upon the lintel and the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the
door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to slay you.

Exodus 13:12-13,15
[12]You shall set apart to the Lord all that first opens the womb. All the
firstlings of your livestock that are males shall be the Lord's.
[13]Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem by [substituting for it] a lamb,
or if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and every firstborn
among your sons shall you redeem. [15]For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused
to let us go, the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the
firstborn of man and of livestock. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all the males
that first open the womb; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.

On the first day of Passover, Jesus and His disciples ate the first Passover
meal as outlined in scripture, which became known as the last supper. He was
saying that the Passover bread without leaven represented his body which
was soon to be broken on the cross for all of mankind’s redemption. He was
also saying the drink represented His blood, which would be poured out on the
ground as He sacrificed Himself on the cross. Remember what He said in the
book of John “unless you eat of my flesh and drink of my blood you will have
no life in you.” He is reaffirming this statement before His crucifixion. God
spoke to Moses to eat unleavened bread for 7 days for the Passover Feast.
26 Now as they were eating Jesus took bread, and after [a]blessing it, He
broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27
And when He had taken a cup and [b]given thanks, He gave it to them, saying,
“Drink from it, all of you; 28 for this is My blood of the [new and better]
covenant, which [ratifies the agreement and] is being poured out for many [as
a [c]substitutionary atonement] for the forgiveness of sins. -Matt 26:26-28

15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall
remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from
the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. -
Exodus 12:15

Exodus 30:34-35
[34]Then the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices–stacte, onycha, and
galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense, an equal amount of each–
[35]And make of them incense, a perfume after the perfumer's art, seasoned
with salt and mixed, pure and sacred.

500 shekels of liquid myrhh is 12 1/2 lbs. That is worth approximately $50,000
USD or 915100 ZAR.

Exodus 30:23,25
[23]Take the best spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, of sweet-scented
cinnamon half as much, 250 shekels, of fragrant calamus 250 shekels,
[25]And you shall make of these a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded
after the art of the perfumer; it shall be a sacred anointing oil.

Frankincense was meant only for a king. It was used in Exodus 30:34-35 to
make the holy incense and given to Jesus at His birth. I believe that the fact
that frankincense was used in the holy incense points us to Christ the
messiah. Myrhh was used in Exodus 30:23 to make a Holy anointing oil and
was given to Jesus at His birth. Myrhh was also used in John 19:39 + 40 to
prepare Jesus' dead body for burial. The fact that myrrh was used to make an
ancient Biblical anointing oil and as a gift to give to newborn Jesus tells me the
anointing oil recipe points to Christ the messiah. You can think of it as Jesus
was anointed to die for you and me the day He was born. The same
substance, myrrh, given to Jesus at His birth was used to anoint Him after His
death.

Matthew 2:11
[11]And on going into the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother, and
they fell down and worshiped Him. Then opening their treasure bags, they
presented to Him gifts–gold and frankincense and myrrh.

John 19:39
[39]And Nicodemus also, who first had come to Jesus by night, came bringing
a mixture of myrrh and aloes, [weighing] about a hundred pounds.

Matthew 26:12-13
[12]In pouring this perfume on My body she has done something to prepare
Me for My burial. [13]Truly I tell you, wherever this good news (the Gospel) is
preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told also, in
memory of her.

[12] Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord gave the
Amorites over to the Israelites, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, be silent
and stand still at Gibeon, and you, moon, in the Valley of Ajalon! [13] And the
sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance upon
their enemies. Is not this written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still
in the midst of the heavens and did not hasten to go down for about a whole
day. [14] There was no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the
voice of a man. For the Lord fought for Israel. -Joshua 10:12-14 AMPC
God suspended the natural order to cause the sun to stand still in the sky, and
in another example, caused the sun, moon, and stars not to shine. No other
God like our God, He is high above all false gods, He is high above all false
religions, He is high above the power of the witch doctors and the sorcerers of
Egypt.

4 I will harden (make stubborn, defiant) Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue
them; and I will be glorified and honored through Pharaoh and all his army,
and the Egyptians shall know [without any doubt] and acknowledge that I am
the Lord.” And they did so. -Exodus 14:4

The plagues of God’s judgement against Egypt were to show the people of
Egypt and Israel that He is the Lord. I believe that these plagues showed both
Israelites and Egyptians their need for repentance, so both groups would
repent of following idols, and follow the one true God. One of the purposes of
the plagues of Egypt was for God to execute judgement against the false gods
of Egypt.

Exodus 12:12 AMPC

[12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of
Egypt I will execute judgment [proving their helplessness]. I am the Lord.

21Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the
LORD drove back the sea with a strong east wind that turned it into dry land.
So the waters were divided, 22and the Israelites went through the sea on dry
ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
23And the Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and
horsemen—and followed them into the sea. -Exodus 14:21-23

27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its
normal flow at sunrise; and the Egyptians retreated right into it [being met by
the returning water]; so the Lord overthrew the Egyptians and tossed them into
the midst of the sea. -Exodus 14:27
The Lord defeated the armies of Egypt through Moses stretching out his hand,
the Lord showed His supremacy over the gods of Egypt through the plagues.
The Lord showed His power to give life or to take it through the final plague.
The Lord showed his power over the environment of Egypt through Moses.
Not only did the Lord deliver His people, He also defeated the armies and
gods of Egypt. God showed the world His ultimate authority over life and death
through Joseph as the nations were preserved through his ministry. God
showed Egypt and Israel His ultimate authority over life and death through the
judgement of the firstborn of Egypt through Moses' ministry.
4 And he took the gold from their hands, and fashioned it with an engraving
tool and made it into a molten calf; and they said, “This is your god, O Israel,
who brought you up from the land of Egypt.” Exodus 32:4 AMP
Unfortunately, God’s people turned away from God after the deliverance in the
Red Sea, and worshipped an idol similar to one worshipped in ancient Egypt.
This is why repentance is necessary and essential for God’s people,
especially for those filled with the Holy Spirit. It is a recipe for disaster when
God’s people worship false gods, since they can easily stop yielding to the
Holy Spirit and yield to familiar spirits.

24“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the
other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is
valued more than the Lord]. -Matt 6:24 AMP

Lay down your life and be obedient to God's call no matter what. Jesus was
saying that the events in the Prophet Jonah's life are in direct correlation to
events in the life of Jesus. The sign of the Prophet Jonah was for his
generation, but in the days of Jesus it would be a sign to that generation that
Jesus died, went into the center of the earth, (hell) and was raised again. The
sign of the Prophet Jonah, or the fact that Jonah went into the belly of a fish
and was vomited out on land is a picture of the death, burial, and resurrection
of the Lord Jesus. For those who hold the popular opinion that Jesus never
went to hell, read in the book of Isaiah where it says "hell from beneath is
moved to meet thee at thy coming." Hell is in the center of the earth. The
Prophet Jonah spent 3 days in the belly of the sea monster, this is a prophetic
picture of Jesus spending 3 days in the belly of the earth, or hell after his
death. When the sea monster spit up Jonah on dry land to fulfill his calling and
go to Nineveh, this is a direct prophetic parallel to Jesus raising from the dead
on the third day. "The sign of the Prophet Jonah" that Jesus speaks about is
the sign of His resurrection. He appeared to many people after His
resurrection in a prophetic fulfillment of these words. In the story of Jonah, all
of Nineveh repents, this is also a direct parallel to sinners repenting and
coming to Christ all over the world.

41The men of Nineveh will stand up [as witnesses] at the judgment against
this generation, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of
Jonah; and now, something greater than Jonah is here. -Matt 12:41

Not only would the sign of Jonah be given to the generation, the men of
Nineveh will stand up and condemn that generation alive when Jesus was on
the earth. Jesus is saying He was greater than Jonah, and he worked some of
the greatest miracles ever recorded in the Old or New Testament.

John 11:45-46 AMP

[45]Upon seeing what Jesus had done, many of the Jews who had come with
Mary believed in Him. [They trusted in Him and adhered to Him and relied on
Him.] [46]But some of them went back to the Pharisees and told them what
Jesus had done.

Repentance is a decision, even after Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead,
some of the Jews still refused to believe and plotted the death of Jesus.

The sign of Jonah

Matthew 12:39-41 AMPC

[39] But He replied to them, An evil and adulterous generation (a generation
morally unfaithful to God) seeks and demands a sign; but no sign shall be
given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. [40] For even as Jonah was
three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of
Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. [Jonah 1:17.] [41]
The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and
condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold,
Someone more and greater than Jonah is here! [Jonah 3:5.]

Jonah was in the belly of a fish underwater for 3 days.

Jesus was in the belly of the earth 3 days.
Jonah preached in Ninevah, and the whole city repented.
Jesus preached in Samaria, and many in that city believed and repented. The
Lord told Jonah to go to Ninevah the first time, and he went to Tarshish. The
Lord told Jesus to go to Jerusalem to offer His life as a sacrifice for many.
[1] AND THE word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, [2]
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach and cry out to it the preaching
that I tell you. -Jonah 3:1-2 AMPC
When the Lord told Jonah to go to Ninevah a second time, he consecrated his
will to God's will. Jesus consecrated His will to God's will at Gethsemane.
Only when we can trust alone in God's mighty hand can He move and deliver
the oppressed. The coordinator traveling with me in India got very sick and
was hospitalized because he drank the water in a remote village we were
preaching at and planted a church in. One evangelist I met in India rode his
bike for hours every day to preach in villages. Another Evangelist in India was
half crippled and his wife was also crippled, but every day he walked for miles
to preach the gospel in rural villages in India. These men asked me to pray for
them to receive the boldness I had, but I felt unworthy of this, and felt instead
they should pray for me. People like these two men exist around the world
who die daily in order to fulfill our Lord's commands while many Christians in
America refuse to even cross the street to share the good news of the gospel.
From traveling to hundreds of churches around the world, I am convinced
some churches could exist for at least 50 years and the people living directly
across the street from the church might have never heard the good news of
the gospel. This is due to the fact that many churches do not have any type of
evangelism program in place. Trust with me as we reach out to local tribal
leaders, as well as national monarchs and heads of countries that the favor of
God will continue to grow upon my life for the purpose of the end time harvest.

Go to Egypt

Whatever is uttered in the halls of Pharaoh is made known to every man,

woman, and child in the nation of Egypt. “I will send you to Egypt.” -Exodus
3:14 It means God was giving Moses a divine influence over the entire nation
of Egypt. It means Moses’ message “the Lord says let my people go,” was
preached with a greater authority than the authority of Pharaoh. It means the
power of God was made manifest in the miraculous through Moses that was a
greater power than the power of the magicians. Note: Aaron’s rod turns into a
snake then eats all the other snakes that the magicians conjured up in Exodus
7:8-13. It tells me the works of God can surpass, overcome, and obliterate the
works of the enemy. In Exodus through the plagues on Egypt God subverted
the power of the false gods of Egypt. In other words, He showed His power so
greatly over the very things they worshiped, He showed His true superiority.
God subverted the military might of Egypt through drowning the army in the
Red Sea. God subverted the material wealth of Egypt when God’s people
asked the Egyptians for wealth as they left Egypt. ASK LARGELY!!!
In 1954 Tommy Hicks saw over 3 million people touched by God from asking
the president to subsidize a crusade in Argentina in a stadium of 100,000
people with advertising in press and radio. The president was stricken with a
disfiguring skin disease and could not even go outside or take pictures, but
God instantly healed him. Trust with me to meet world leaders, along with
local, tribal, and national leaders for the express purpose of furthering the
gospel. Any crusade we could think of will be too small, but when we tap into
God’s unlimited resources, we can subvert the wealth and influence of a
nation. Total cost of the sanctuary in Exodus? In Exodus 38:24 & 25 the Gold
& Silver alone - Total Gold Value (U.S. Dollar) $75,376,486.88, total Silver
Value (U.S. Dollar) $1,751,465.33. That’s over $76 million that was stripped
from Egypt. In Gen 41:41 “Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in
charge of the entire land of Egypt.”” Joseph becomes second in command of
one of the most powerful nations in all history, with control of the nation’s
wealth, influence, military might, and agriculture, so many nations were saved
through famine. Let us trust together to meet those of great influence in the
world, so the gospel can, accordingly, have a great impact on the world. The
world will not go to the church, so the church must go into the world. There is
no greater opportunity than today, since the Bible specifically states
“knowledge will increase.”

In the 70’s Evangelist Ruibal met Bolivia’s president, Hugo Banzer Suarez
because a member of the president’s cabinet had been healed of paralysis
though the evangelist’s ministry. After praying, President Suarez gave Ruibal
access to stadiums across the nation of Bolivia and required the mayors of the
city to declare a holiday when Ruibal was in town preaching the gospel. After
preaching to a stadium over 40,000, the stadiums became too small to hold
the crowds. Instead, they gathered on mountainsides and plazas, and there
was no sound system that could reach such crowds, the people were
encouraged to bring transistor radios and tune in to the radio stations that
were broadcasting the preaching. Hundreds of thousands of people came to
Christ in the next few years, with accompanying signs, wonders, and miracles
that were too numerous to count. -source Holy Spirit TV

[29] Take note! Seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt
are coming. [30] Then there will come seven years of hunger and famine, and
[there will be so much want that] all the great abundance of the previous years
will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and hunger (destitution, starvation) will
exhaust (consume, finish) the land. -Genesis 41:29-30 AMPC

Genesis 41:34 AMPC

[34] Let Pharaoh do this; then let him select and appoint officers over the land,
and take one-fifth [of the produce] of the [whole] land of Egypt in the seven
plenteous years [year by year].

According to statista.com In 2020, the value of Egyptian agricultural

commodities exported reached 4.7 billion USD. Joseph procured
approximately 0.94 billion USD or 17.214 billion ZAR worth of agricultural
commodities a year for 7 years to preserve the nations.

Genesis 41:49 AMPC

[49] And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he
stopped counting, for it could not be measured.

[57] And all countries came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the
famine was severe over all [the known] earth. -Genesis 41:57 AMPC

From one nation, Egypt, God used one man Joseph, to preserve the nations
of the world. From a man born in a manger in Bethlehem, the Lord Jesus
Christ, came salvation and redemption for all peoples, all tongues, and all
nations. Jesus was buried in a rich man's borrowed tomb, and rose again on
the third day to secure the preservation of everyone who accepts Him from the
second death.

Genesis 45:9 AMPC

[9] Hurry and go up to my father and tell him, Your son Joseph says this to
you: God has put me in charge of all Egypt. Come down to me; do not delay.

Joseph was put in charge of all Egypt under Pharaoh through divinely
ordained events. Jesus legally overcame the god of this world, Satan, through
His death, burial, and resurrection. That's why Jesus says in Rev 1:8 He has
the keys of death and hell, he legally obtained those keys which unlocks
salvation for all nations.

Genesis 45:23 AMPC

[23] And to his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the good
things of Egypt, and ten she-donkeys laden with grain, bread, and nourishing
food and provision for his father [to supply all who were with him] on the way.
The approximate value of 10 donkeys: $4180 USD or 76,381 ZAR.
[2]Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man solicit and ask of
his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of
gold. [3]And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians.
Moreover, the man Moses was exceedingly great in the land of Egypt, in the
sight of Pharaoh's servants and of the people. -Exodus 11:2-3

God gave the Isrealites favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so a very immense
wealth transfer took place, hundreds of millions of dollars, since it cost over
$200 million USD to create the Tabernacle in Exodus 36. God used Joseph
centuries later to transfer an immense amount of wealth, all the money in
Egypt to Pharaoh.

[14] And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt
and in the land of Canaan [in payment] for the grain which they bought, and
Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. [15] And when the money
was exhausted in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the
Egyptians came to Joseph and said, Give us food! Why should we die before
your very eyes? For we have no money left.
Joseph received all of the money in all the land of Egypt and gave it to
Pharaoh.

According to Diodorus Siculus' Historical Library, the population of ancient

Egypt in the time of Joseph was 7 million. The GDP of Nicaragua, nation of
just over 7 million people was 18.83 billion dollars. Approximate value of all
the currency in ancient Egypt: 18.83 billion USD or 344 billion ZAR.

Genesis 47:16-17 AMPC

[16] Joseph said, Give up your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange
for [them] if your money is gone. [17] So they brought their livestock to
Joseph, and [he] gave them food in exchange for the horses, flocks, cattle of
the herds, and the donkeys; and he supplied them with food in exchange for
all their livestock that year.

According to Partners of the Americas, Nicaragua has 5 million head of cattle.

Each head has a value of $725 USD, so altogether that's 3.625 billion USD or
66.387 billion ZAR. Since, as we have established Nicaragua has a similar
population to ancient Egypt, we can say that Joseph procured approximately
3.625 billion USD or 66.387 billion ZAR worth of livestock to give to Pharaoh.

Genesis 47:20-21 AMPC

[20] And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians
sold every man his field because of the overwhelming severity of the famine
upon them. The land became Pharaoh's, [21] And as for the people, he
removed them to cities and practically made slaves of them [at their own
request], from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other.

Egypt has an area of 1,002,450 km2 (387,050 sq mi), which is an approximate

cost of 10.325 billion USD, or 189.089 billion ZAR. This is the amount of land
Joseph procured from the people of Egypt to give to Pharaoh.

[19]And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take your rod and stretch out
your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, rivers, pools, and
ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood
throughout all the land of Egypt, in containers both of wood and of stone. -
Exodus 7:19

[24]And the Lord did so; and there came heavy and oppressive swarms [of
bloodsucking gadflies] into the house of Pharaoh and his servants' houses;
and in all of Egypt the land was corrupted and ruined by reason of the great
invasion [of gadflies]. -Exodus 8:24

Under Joseph, the land prospered and was given entirely to Pharaoh. Under
the ministry of Moses, all the land of Egypt was corrupted and ruined. This
shows that God used both Joseph and Moses to subvert the power of the land
of Egypt. God used both judgement and prosperity to show He was Lord over
all the land of Egypt. Through the plague of the Nile turning to blood, God was
able to show that He was the only true God, that He was the only true source
of life.

[4]But the Lord shall make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the
livestock of Egypt, and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the Israelites.
[25]The hail struck down throughout all the land of Egypt everything that was
in the field, both man and beast; and the hail beat down all the vegetation of
the field and shattered every tree of the field. [26]Only in the land of Goshen,
where the Israelites were, was there no hail. -Exodus 9:4,25-26

[31]The flax and the barley were smitten and ruined, for the barley was in the
ear and the flax in bloom. [32]But the wheat and spelt [another wheat] were
not smitten, for they ripen late and were not grown up yet. -Exodus 9:31-32

Exodus 10:15
[15]For they covered the whole land, so that the ground was darkened, and
they ate every bit of vegetation of the land and all the fruit of the trees which
the hail had left; there remained not a green thing of the trees or the plants of
the field in all the land of Egypt.
Under the ministry of Moses, all the crops were destroyed through God’s
judgement. But under the ministry of Joseph, God prospered Egypt, and one-
fifth of the produce was given to Pharaoh. In these examples, God was
subverting control of the crops through Moses and Joseph.

Genesis 47:24 AMPC

[24] At [harvest time when you reap] the increase, you shall give one-fifth of it
to Pharaoh, and four-fifths shall be your own to use for seed for the field and
as food for you and those of your households and for your little ones.

According to statista.com In 2020, the value of Egyptian agricultural

commodities exported reached 4.7 billion USD. Joseph procured
approximately $0.94 billion USD or 17.214 billion ZAR worth of agricultural
commodities in perpetuity for Pharaoh.

Genesis 47:26 AMPC

[26] And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt–to this day–that
Pharaoh should have the fifth part [of the crops]; it was the priests' land only
which did not become Pharaoh's.

Joseph made an indelible mark in the society and governmental system of

Egypt. The born again, Spirit-filled Christian has this opportunity and much
more, since Jesus said of men born from women John the Baptist was the
greatest, but the least in the kingdom of heaven will be greater than him. The
need and the opportunity have never been greater to see the nations
preserved from the famine of sin. Joseph established an apostolic authority
over all the resources and people of the land of Egypt.

So Pharaoh asked his officials, “Can we find anyone else like this man so
obviously filled with the spirit of God?” Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put
you in charge of the entire land of Egypt.” You will be in charge of my court,
and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will
have a rank higher than yours.” -Gen 41:38, 40 NLT

God gave favor to Joseph in the land of Egypt, God gave him influence and
stewardship over the nation which was much better than wealth. The scripture
declares “the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just,” so God will use
infrastructure and avenues of communication God’s people did not pay for to
propagate the gospel.

Matthew 4:8-10 AMPC

[8] Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all
the kingdoms of the world and the glory (the splendor, magnificence,
preeminence, and excellence) of them. [9] And he said to Him, These things,
all taken together, I will give You, if You will prostrate Yourself before me and
do homage and worship me. [10] Then Jesus said to him, Begone, Satan! For
it has been written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall
you serve.

The devil offered to give Jesus the kingdoms of the world, along with their
glory, splendor, magnificence, preeminence, and excellence. The devil had
subverted the natural order and gained legal control over these things as a
result of the fall of mankind. In Genesis Joseph subverted control over the
glory, the splendor, the preeminence, and the excellence of Egypt. Joseph
caused control of the nation to be given to him, and since he is controlled by
the Spirit of God, Joseph was returning Egypt to the control of God. If Joseph
had not been put in a place of political, socioeconomic, and military power, he
could not have preserved the nation of Israel. The devil offered something to
Jesus that he gained legal control over, so the devil had a right to offer to
Jesus the glory of the kingdoms of the world. What Joseph did to Egypt is
exactly what Jesus did to hell and death, Joseph subverted the control of
Egypt, and Jesus subverted the control of hell and death. Jesus legally gained
the keys of hell and death through his death, burial, and resurrection.

[18] And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died,
but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades
(the realm of the dead). -Revelation 1:18 AMPC

Jesus gained power over death, hell, and the devil through His resurrection. I
believe that the legal authority over death and hell was returned to God. We,
as His disciples need to enforce the devil's defeat on planet earth.

Acts 10:38 AMPC

[38] How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy]
Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good
and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power
of] the devil, for God was with Him.

Sickness is an "oppression of the devil," according to scripture, and when we

trust for miracles in people's body, we are enforcing the devil's defeat. The
color revolution in Serbia in the year 2000 overthrew an existing, established
governmental system. The spiritual revolution from the redemption of Christ's
blood overthrew an existing, established worldly system that bound all of
humanity in sin. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.
If Joseph had not subverted the agriculture of Egypt, Israel and other nations
would have starved because he could not have ordered the grain to be stored.
If Joseph had not subverted the industrial strength of Egypt, he could not have
ordered storehouses to be built. If the storehouses were never built to
preserve 7 years of grain, then the nation of Israel would have starved. If
Joseph had not subverted the finances of Egypt, the nations would not have
been preserved because the workers and farmers would not have been paid.
Joseph subverted the influence of the nation of Egypt. He subverted the
communication structures of Egypt. God chose a man who had been in prison
to be second in command of the nation of Egypt.

In Uganda there are constitutional kings who hold tremendous social and
political power over the people. The power they hold is directly parallel to the
power of Ugandan parliament. In Uganda the monarchs have a lifetime
appointment. What I am planning is to utilize this power from elected officials
in parliament and from the constitutional kings to preach the gospel. When an
entire nation is subverted to the control of the King of kings and Lord of lords,
then it will be possible for the entire nation to hear the good news of the
gospel. The power of the Lord Jesus Christ is far greater than the power of
kings and queens and any elected official in parliament. When Bonnke held
crusades in Kenya, he first met with the speaker of parliament, who would give
him favor with parliament and the president. Then he would meet the
president, and all television and radio programs would be canceled across the
nation, and these channels would only broadcast the crusade. People said to
me who lived there during that time that his voice would be broadcast in every
kitchen in every house in all of Kenya. You can offer television stations $100
million dollars to cancel a program, and they will refuse because of a contract.
But the president of a nation can order the station to comply via executive
order. Now you can see how this minister subverted the broadcasting ability of
a nation to be under the control of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Even though Joseph did not actually plant a church, he did establish a divinely
ordained system of authority within Egypt. The Biblical role of an evangelist is
very similar to the role of Joseph in the book of Genesis. Since beginning
ministry in South Africa I have worked with over 15 different churches in 4
areas and connected with multiple ministry networks. I have done ministry in 7
different schools as well as been invited to 10 more. A pastor friend of mine
told me he was doing ministry in all the schools of Wattville, South Africa, but
he had to quit because the schools would call him for all the events like
weddings and funerals. He tried to ask other pastors to help preach and cast
out devils in the schools, but they all refused, so he stopped going to the
schools. The pastors were only interested in doing ministry inside the 4 walls
of their own church. As an evangelist I will be reaching out to schools
throughout the greater Johannesburg/Pretoria valley area to do ministry.
Evangelists are called to go outside the four walls of the church to do what
pastors cannot and will not do. The reference earlier of an evangelist
preaching in a stadium live on all national, secular television and radio
channels of the nation of Kenya is a direct parallel to what Joseph
accomplished in Egypt. In ancient Egypt in the time of Joseph and Moses and
in Kenya during the modern times the demonic authority over the nation was
displaced with divine authority. God used Joseph to preserve the nations from
certain death in a time of great famine. In the same way, God will use His end
time church to preserve nations from spiritual death through the proclamation
of the gospel. From 2016-2020 every year in January I was invited to open a
large secular concert of thousands with a short prayer. This event was
sponsored by a radio station, and the open air concert was broadcast on the
radio live. Some of the top secular Latin American musicians would attend this
concert in Orlando, Florida, and tickets sold for $35 USD typically. I would
preach the gospel within the opening prayer, and multitudes were saved and
healed in their bodies.

Haggai 2:7-9 AMPC

[7] And I will shake all nations and the desire and the precious things of all
nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the Lord of
hosts.[8] The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine, says the Lord of hosts. [9]
The latter glory of this house [with its successor, to which Jesus came] shall
be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts; and in this place will I give
peace and prosperity, says the Lord of hosts.

In Haggai 2:7 God is talking about the desire of all nations, this is more than
money. If you can subvert the nation's influence, it is greater than money. He
says in verse 8 the silver and gold is His anyway, if we can trust God to
subvert the strength of a nation, it's better than money.

[2] And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant
increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you
will be a blessing [dispensing good to others]. -Genesis 12:2 AMPC

Five different times did the Lord provide for His people in Egypt. The first three
times Joseph provided for the rest of his family in Gen 42:25, 45:23, and
47:12. In Exodus 12:26 God provides using the Egyptians. In Matt 2:15 God
provided a hiding place for Jesus in Egypt, but then calls Him back to Israel.
He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord
had spoken by the prophet [Hosea]: “OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON.” -
Matt 2:15 AMP

Haggai 2:7 specifically states "God will bring in the desires of nations (other
translations read wealth) into His house." Nations do desire wealth, that is
true, but I believe this verse is also speaking about the influence one nation
can exert over another. Joseph became second in command in Egypt, and
brought the entirety of Egypt's social influence, economic, agricultural, and
mineral wealth, and military power into subservience to the King of kings.

[3] Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children because he was the son
of his old age, and he made him a [distinctive] long tunic with sleeves. [4] But
when his brothers saw that their father loved [Joseph] more than all of his
brothers, they hated him and could not say, Peace [in friendly greeting] to him
or speak peaceably to him. -Gen 37:3-4

[23] When Joseph had come to his brothers, they stripped him of his
[distinctive] long garment which he was wearing; -Gen 37:23 AMPC

When Jospeh's brother's stripped Joseph of his coat in their anger, they
stripped away the symbol of their father's love to his favorite son.

31 After they finished ridiculing Him, they stripped Him of the scarlet robe and
put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him. -Matt 27:31

24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide
whose it will be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture, “They divided My outer
clothing among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.” -John 19:24

Jesus was stripped of his robes and the soliders cast lots for the clothing. He
was stripped of his dignity and hung naked, dying on that cross so we could
have life and freedom.

[28] Then as the Midianite [and Ishmaelite] merchants were passing by, the
brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the well. And they sold him for
twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took Joseph [captive] into
Egypt. -Genesis 37:28 AMPC

It was necessary for Joseph to be betrayed and sold for 20 pieces of silver so
the nation of Israel could be preserved.

Matthew 26:15 HCSB

[15] and said, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you? ” So
they weighed out 30 pieces of silver for him.

It was necessary for Jesus to be betrayed and sold for 30 pieces of silver so
the nation of Israel and the gentiles could be preserved and redeemed. The
Bible refers to Jesus as "the lamb slain before the foundation of the world."

9Then the words spoken by Jeremiah the prophet were fulfilled: “And they
took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him on whom a price had been set
by the sons of Israel; 10and they gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the Lord
directed me.” -Matt 27:9-10 AMP

[4] So Joseph pleased [Potiphar] and found favor in his sight, and he served
him. And [his master] made him supervisor over his house and he put all that
he had in his charge. [5] From the time that he made him supervisor in his
house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for
Joseph's sake; and the Lord's blessing was on all that he had in the house
and in the field. -Genesis 39:4-5 AMPC

God elevated Joseph to a place of authority in Potiphar's house, and

Potiphar's house was blessed as a result of Joseph's leadership.

[21] But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy and loving-
kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison. [22] And
the warden of the prison committed to Joseph's care all the prisoners who
were in the prison; and whatsoever was done there, he was in charge of it.
[23] The prison warden paid no attention to anything that was in [Joseph's]
charge, for the Lord was with him and made whatever he did to prosper. -
Genesis 39:21-23 AMPC

Joseph was unjustly imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, but because of
the favor of God and because he maintained his integrity, Joseph was
elevated by God to have authority over the prison.

[30] Then there will come seven years of hunger and famine, and [there will be
so much want that] all the great abundance of the previous years will be
forgotten in the land of Egypt; and hunger (destitution, starvation) will exhaust
(consume, finish) the land. -Genesis 41:30

38 So Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this [a man equal
to Joseph], in whom is the divine spirit [of God]?” 39 Then Pharaoh said to
Joseph, “Since [your] God has shown you all this, there is no one as
discerning and clear-headed and wise as you are. 40 You shall have charge
over my house, and all my people shall [c]be governed according to your word
and pay respect [to you with reverence, submission, and obedience]; only in
[matters of] the throne will I be greater than you [in Egypt].” 41 Then Pharaoh
said to Joseph, “See, I have set you [in charge] over all the land of Egypt.” -
Gen 41:38-41 AMP

Genesis 41:34-35 41-45, 48 AMPC

[34] Let Pharaoh do this; then let him select and appoint officers over the land,
and take one-fifth [of the produce] of the [whole] land of Egypt in the seven
plenteous years [year by year]. [35] And let them gather all the food of these
good years that are coming and lay up grain under the direction and authority
of Pharaoh, and let them retain food [in fortified granaries] in the cities. [41]
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.
[42] And Pharaoh took off his [signet] ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's
hand, and arrayed him in [official] vestments of fine linen and put a gold chain
about his neck; [43] He made him to ride in the second chariot which he had,
and [officials] cried before him, Bow the knee! And he set him over all the land
of Egypt. [44] And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without you
shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. [45] And Pharaoh
called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah and he gave him Asenath daughter
of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph made an [inspection]
tour of all the land of Egypt. [48] And he gathered up all the [surplus] food of
the seven [good] years in the land of Egypt and stored up the food in the
cities; he stored away in each city the food from the fields around it.

One word from God spoken through Joseph, and God ended 13 years of
captivity, servitude, and suffering. In a single moment of time God elevated
Joseph to be second in command of a nation, because he kept his heart and
life pure in the midst of extreme hardship and betrayal. God granted Joseph
more authority than he had before, and God's blessing was upon Egypt, a
gentile nation that did not fear or serve God. Pharaoh said to Joseph “and
without you shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt” in
Genesis 41:44. It means that no one can do anything at all in the entire land of
Egypt without the permission of Joseph.

[50] Now to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came,
whom Asenath daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On, bore to him. [51] And
Joseph called the firstborn Manasseh [making to forget], For God, said he, has
made me forget all my toil and hardship and all my father's house. [52] And
the second he called Ephraim [to be fruitful], For [he said] God has caused me
to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. Genesis 41:50-52 AMPC
Joseph was given a new name by Pharaoh, and the names of Joseph's sons
signified that God had given Joseph a new identity in the land of his captivity.
Joseph forgot the toil and hardships of Egypt, and became fruitful in the land
of his great sorrow. Joseph was given a ring when he was placed over the
land of Egypt, to symbolize great authority. Joseph had his God-given
authority stolen by his brothers, but restored by Pharaoh.

But when all the land of Egypt was weakened with hunger, the people [there]
cried to Pharaoh for food; and Pharaoh said to [them] all, Go to Joseph; what
he says to you, do. -Genesis 41:55 AMPC

[57] And all countries came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the
famine was severe over all [the known] earth. -Gen 41:57 AMPC

[7] God sent me before you to preserve for you a posterity and to continue a
remnant on the earth, to save your lives by a great escape and save for you
many survivors. -Genesis 45:7 AMPC

Joseph forgave his brothers, and the nation of Israel was preserved, and
therefore the line of Christ was preserved. God used the evil thing Joseph's
brothers did to him to send him directly into his destiny. God used Joseph's
forgiveness to restore his relationship with his brothers.

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to
bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as
they are this day] -Genesis 50:20

The land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the
best of the land. Let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know of any
men of ability among them, put them in charge of my livestock.” -Genesis 47:6

Pharaoh put Joeseph’s relatives in charge of his livestock, God allowed

Joseph to subvert the stewardship of the livestock. Pharaoh owned the
livestock, but Joseph’s relatives were in charge of the livestock.

11 So Joseph settled his father and brothers and gave them a possession in
Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses (Goshen), as Pharaoh
commanded. 12 Joseph provided and supplied his father and his brothers and
all his father’s household with food, according to [the needs of] their children. -
Gen 47:11-12 AMP

Joseph gave his relatives the best land of Egypt at the direction of Pharaoh,
Joseph subverted control of the best land of Egypt.
14 Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in
the land of Canaan [in payment] for the grain which they bought, and Joseph
brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. -Gen 47:14 AMP

God used Joseph to subvert the finances of Egypt, so that all the money in the
land of Egypt was brought into the house of Pharaoh. Since Joseph was
second in command of Egypt, he had stewardship over the combined wealth
of the nation of Egypt. In the midst of 7 years of great famine, God gave
Joseph wisdom to have a surplus.

15 And when the money was exhausted in the land of Egypt and in the land of
Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food! Why
should we die before your very eyes? For our money is gone.” 16 Joseph said,
“Give up your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock,
since the money is gone.” 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he
gave them food in exchange for the horses and the flocks and the herds and
the donkeys; and he supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock
that year. -Gen 47:15-17 AMP

God used Joseph to subvert the ownership of all the livestock of Egypt to be
given to Pharaoh. Since Joseph was second in command of Egypt, he had
stewardship over all the ownership of the nation of Egypt.

18 When that year was ended, they came to him the next year and said to
him, “We will not hide from my lord [the fact] that our money is spent; my lord
also has our herds of livestock; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord but
our bodies and our lands. 19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we
and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land
will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed [to plant], that we may live and
not die, and that the land may not be desolate.”20 So Joseph bought all the
land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian sold his field because the famine
was severe upon them. So the land became Pharaoh’s. 21 And as for the
people, he relocated them [temporarily] to cities from one end of Egypt’s
border to the other. -Gen 47:18-21 AMP

God used Joseph to subvert the complete ownership of the land of Egypt, so
that all the land ownership in the land of Egypt was given the house of
Pharaoh. Since Joseph was second in command of Egypt, he had been
granted stewardship over the combined land ownership of the nation of Egypt.

23 Then Joseph said to the people, “Look, today I have bought you and your
land for Pharaoh; now, here is seed for you, and you shall plant the land. 24 At
harvest time [when you reap the increase] you shall give one-fifth of it to
Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be your own to use for seed for the field and as
food for you and those of your households and for your little ones.” -Gen
47:23-24 AMP

Since Pharaoh's house now owned all the land of Egypt God used Joseph to
give farmers seed and subvert 1/5 of crop harvest of the land of Egypt
permanently. Since Joseph was second in command of Egypt, he had been
granted stewardship over the complete agricultural power of the nation of
Egypt. God used Joseph to transfer the private ownership of land, livestock,
and crop harvests to Pharaoh for a kingdom purpose. Though Joseph entered
Egypt with nothing, he ended his life as a political leader giving seed to a
nation, and preserving the nations.

[10] Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring
forth My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt. -Exodus 3:10 AMPC

The place of God's destiny for both Joseph and Moses was in the nation of
Egypt. The seed of ultimate destiny that God has deposited in your life will
never take root and bear fruit until you go to your "Egypt-" that is the place
God is telling you to go. God raised up Joseph as a preserver of nations
through an interpretation of Pharaoh's dream. God gave Joseph such wisdom
he could interpret the dream when the magicians of Egypt failed to interpret
the dream. God raised up Moses as a mighty deliverer of the nation of Israel
through one encounter at a burning bush. Jesus, through the power of his
blood brought restoration, salvation, healing, redemption, preservation, and
deliverance to all nations.

Can a nation be saved in a day?

“Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be
born in one day? Or can a nation be brought forth in a moment? As soon as
Zion was in labor, she also brought forth her sons. -Isaiah 66:8 AMP
