Dear BSCMF Member,
 
“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.”
·         Matthew 13:44
 
 
The Kingdom of Heaven is the most valuable thing you can pursue upon the earth. [...]]]></description>

Jesus when he was on the earth, walked in the fullness of the Kingdom of Heaven (or as in other places in the Bible, it is called, “The Kingdom of God”) – It was the source of his power, his prosperity and victory. The Kingdom of Heaven upon the earth was God’s original plan for man – Adam walked in the Kingdom of Heaven upon the earth; and it was God’s plan and intention for man to expand the Garden of Eden to encompass the entire earth. Jesus went to the cross and paid the price demanded by God for Man’s sin, which separated man from the Kingdom of Heaven – Jesus is the door and the way into the Kingdom of Heaven…<span style="text-decoration: underline;">and when you received Jesus as Lord, you became citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></em></strong></p>

I want you to think about this statement. Jesus was stating that the man was willing to give up his way of living, his way of doing things. He was willing to give up all things of the world – to disengage from the world – and to seek and pursue a new way and system of operation – the Kingdom of Heaven. <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">We seek and walk according to the Kingdom of Heaven when we walk according to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">God’s Word</span>.</em></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>

We need to have the same mindset</em></strong>…If we do the same, we will walk in the Kingdom of Heaven; and we will walk in awesome miraculous power and victory.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>

Do you want to see the miraculous?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Do you want to walk in the same victory as Jesus did while on the earth? Then you need to give up all and pursue the Kingdom of Heaven!</span></p>

Over the last months, I have been fasting and praying for Holy Ghost power like I have never done before. My life has been totally focused upon Kingdom power to destroy worldly mindsets and thinking, and bringing about Kingdom mindsets. God has rewarded me and Great Joy in the City Ministries greatly as we have pressed in with an unquenchable thirst and hunger for God, and we have seen a dramatic increase in the power of God in ministry that has changed lives and opened up greater doors for ministry – To God be the glory!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>

There are ministries focused upon finding the “right” message, or the most enticing church programs, or ways to promote themselves to increase their ministry in a worldly manner. This ministry approach seems all so natural because it is of “man’s wisdom”. Pastors and full-time ministers say, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Well, how else do you expect me to be successful and to grow my ministry?”</em><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>But the Apostle Paul makes it clear what is God’s way of conducting ministry – <span style="text-decoration: underline;">demonstrations of the Spirit and of Holy Ghost power!</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong></p>

These were wealthy and successful business men and women who thought they didn’t want or need Jesus; and who were happy with their Buddhist, Hindu and idol worshipping beliefs. Many of them had heard Christian evangelists and preachers in churches as well as business-setting meetings. Preachers who used enticing words that tried to either condemned, scare or entice these business people into the Kingdom of Heaven. But these business people couldn’t care less about Jesus. But when these carnal and unbelieving business people attended my Malaysia meetings and witnessed the power of God in mighty demonstration that healed, delivered and set people free, they came walking up to get saved and have their lives changed. Why? Because Kingdom of God power DESTROYS carnal mindsets, and brings people into a Kingdom of God mindset – A higher mindset and life. As a result, I had tremendous results; and it also opened many doors for greater ministry opportunities in Malaysia. This came about not from enticing words, but the power of God in demonstration- <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Make the determination to go God’s way, by seeking and pursuing God’s Kingdom power!</span></span></p>

The Church World, as well as the world-at-large, needs to see a manifestation of the presence of God; because the only true way to change the mindsets of people is to bring them into a new reality: <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A new Kingdom of God reality.</span></strong> This Holy Spirit revelation was proved out during last month’s Malaysia ministry trip, where the ministry program was organized by the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship of Malaysia. The FGBF-Malaysia is the spiritual backbone of the Christian Church in this Muslim-dominated nation; and I have a 15 year relationship with the organization which started during my first years of full-time ministry after graduation from JSMI Bible School.</span></p>

The one episode that will always stand out in my mind, was during the Kuantan businessmen’s evangelistic banquet, when an idol worshipping businessman first refused to answer the altar call, but during ministry time when the power of God was awesomely being demonstrated, came up in the middle of Holy Ghost power and said he wanted to receive Jesus as Lord – Praise God!</span></p>

In particular, I went to Deuteronomy chapter 28, and read and mediated upon all the Blessings of God (healing and health, prosperity, success and victory in every area of my life, family and ministry); then I read the Curse of the Law (every manner of sickness and disease, poverty, oppression, failure, and every evil work that is in manifestation upon the Earth). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After I got a clear picture of all the evil that has tried to come upon my life, family and ministry, I read Galatians 3:13-14, which states:</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“</em></strong></span></span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">is</span> every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” </span></em></strong><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">And after I mediated on Galatians 3:13-14 for a while, I turned back to the Curse of the Law in Deuteronomy 28, and started to read the Curse and state I was redeemed. The more I read the verses of the Curse of the Law and flipped over to Galatians 3:13-14, and pronounced my redemption &#8212; the angrier I got at Satan; and then the revelation hit me:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;"> </span></p>

I have been allowing Satan to steal too many things in my life that Jesus has paid for; and what was worse – I was allowing Satan to delay my Blessings from coming into my life. I was making excuses for the delays, allowing Satan to deceive me that such delays were “just the normal course of events and circumstances upon the earth.” That lie struck me in my Spirit and I cried out, <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“NO! No more delays; I won’t stand for any more Curse in my life – Not for another second will I allow any circumstance or evidence of the Curse of the Law to exist in my life!” </em></strong>I commenced to walk around my study declaring, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“No more Curse, I am redeemed!”</em> over and over again. Then I got my wife and the elements of Communion and we stood together declaring that we had a Covenant through Jesus Christ and declared, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">“No more Curse, we are redeemed!”</span> Afterwards, I sat quietly in my study and the Spirit of God came upon me, and said – <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“It’s about time you took authority…Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!” </em></strong><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, Amen: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">So I ask you, what are you waiting for?

<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">June 2010</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoSalutation" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dear Friends,</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed <em>with them</em>: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.” <span style="color: black;"></span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 3.5in; tab-stops: list 3.5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">         </span></span></span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Acts 8:5-8</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Power of God in demonstration is needed in this day and hour like never before. The Church World, as well as the world-at-large, needs to see a manifestation of the presence of God; because the only true way to change the mindsets of people is to bring them into a new reality: <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A new Kingdom of God reality.</span></strong> It is no longer “good enough” to preach a teaching message in today’s world without a demonstration of the Holy Spirit. Yes, the Word is the Power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16); but Jesus said that He would work with and confirm the Word with Signs following (Mark 16:20).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Great Joy in the City Ministries seeks through pastor faith seminars and evangelistic meetings to follow after Jesus Christ and the Early church of the 1st-3rd centuries, by preaching the message, <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Repent, for the Kingdom of God is here”</em></strong>; and to confirm that message with Signs, Wonders and Miracles: And that is what happened during last month’s May India trip!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">During our India ministry trip that took place in May, we visited the cities of Bangalore and Chitradurga, where we held pastor faith seminars and miracle services. The Power of God flowed mightily during the services; <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and nearly 2,500 pastors and church leaders, as well as thousands of Believers, experienced the presence of God in a real, powerful and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">‘mindset changing’</span> way.</em></strong><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"></em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The most powerful testimony came during the Chitradurga meetings. The Chitradurga area is a demonic stronghold, with the region being the last place for practicing Hindu temple prostitution in the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>During one of the services, a 135 lbs man started to manifest demons. I say “demons” (plural), because the man lifted five of us off the ground while the demonic powers controlled his body. He screamed out at me, <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“If you think you have the power then cast us out!”</em></strong> Righteous indignation overcame me; and with a charge of Holy Ghost power, within 5 minutes of intense prayer the man let out a scream and the demon left him!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Our India trip actually started from the city of Bangalore, where a local pastor funded and hosted a GJITCM “Victory By Faith” pastor faith seminar. We had over 450 pastors and church leaders gathered for the one day seminar. The Kingdom teaching was well received; as I have been led of the Lord over the last year to focus all my teaching seminars and sermons on the Kingdom of God (Heaven). As a result, we produce changed mindsets through the Word taught, and a powerful demonstration of the Holy Ghost confirming the Kingdom to the hearers. We have seen great impact and results from this original Early Church (starting with Jesus) teaching and ministering; and from the all day Bangalore seminar we received <span style="text-decoration: underline;">210 new Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship (BSCMF) members.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">From Bangalore, we travelled four hours by car to the city of </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Chitradurga to hold a pastor faith seminar and miracle meetings at the church of an Indian spiritual son, Pastor Kouteresh. This young Man of God in his late-20’s, has attended every pastor faith seminar that I have held in the Bangalore-Chitradurga area since 2005. Over the years he has watched God confirm the Word that he learned from my teachings, that has resulted in his pastoring a church of over 7,000 (he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">testified to me during one lunch that he is setting his faith for 10,000 members in two years time). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pastor Kouteresh started evangelizing the area back in 2002, and for one year had ZERO results (not one Hindu receiving Jesus as Lord). He was ready to give up, but the Lord told him to stay and he fasted and prayed till Holy Ghost power came to his ministry. His church exploded when he received the truth of the uncompromised Word of God; and not only did his church grow solely by converting Hindus, but the farmers and sheep herders started to prosper and he was able to build a large church (Kenneth Copeland Ministries-Europe generously funded the roof of the church due to the urgency of an impending Monsoon season).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We had over 2,000 pastors and church leaders attending the seminar – <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">GJITCM’s biggest seminar ever!</span> </em></strong>The power of God was present throughout the seminar confirming the Kingdom message preached and taught, producing changed mindsets of all participants. There were mighty demonstrations of supernatural encounters – heavenly lights around the church and visitations of angels being witnessed (during the seminar I was led to teach on angels and Kingdom help). All participants of the seminar and miracle meetings were in awe at the Holy Ghost’ Power of God manifested; and Pastor Kouteresh was so excited about what was happening at his church that he made the announcement that he was setting his faith to believe God for me to come back in 6 months time to hold a seminar and meetings with tens of thousands in attendance in an open air venue <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(the attendees let out a Holy Ghost roar of agreement – <span style="text-decoration: underline;">so set your faith for it to come to pass also!</span>)</em>. As a result of the pastor seminar, we had an additional 520 new Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship (BSCMF) members: <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">And as a result of the entire India trip, we now have a total of nearly 6,000 BSCMF in Asia</span>: Pastors and church leaders who want HS POWER!</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I want to close this letter announcing that <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I will be in Malaysia from June 9-16</strong>, to speak at Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship evangelistic banquets in Kuala Lumpur, Seremban and Kuantan; as well as conducting a pastor faith seminar and miracle meeting in Kuantan (located in the Muslim-dominated east coast of Malaysia). Please pray for these meetings and stand in agreement with us, as we believe for mighty Signs, Wonders and Miracles to confirm the Kingdom messages preached and taught. The Kingdom message is GJITCM’s calling; and we are expecting to bring the Kingdom of God to Malaysia in June – <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Holy Spirit changed mindsets and lives!</span></span></p>

Dear Friends,
 
“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">May 2010</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoSalutation" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dear Friends,</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed <em>with them</em>: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.” </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 3.5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 3.5in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">         </span></span></span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Acts 8:5-8</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I pray that this letter finds you experiencing Great Joy, and God’s love abundantly touching every aspect of your life. Remember – we have an adversary who is not necessarily just going to roll over and allow you to experience God’s best. Satan’s only weapon against you is deception; and he will do everything he can to try to tell you that it is just too impossible and that you don’t have the victory (<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">maybe others will have victory, but not you</em>). Well, we know that our enemy is the ‘Father of Lies’ – there is no truth in him and he couldn’t tell the truth even if he wanted to – so just refuse to believe what he says and continue to believe the truth of God’s Word that says “You Win!” <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Demonstrations of the Kingdom of Heaven</span>, which you have been translated into as written in Colossians 1:13, is on its way!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">As you can tell, I am pretty pumped up for my upcoming ministry trip to India that starts on April 29<sup>th</sup>. By the time you receive this letter I will be in the middle of pastor faith seminars and miracle crusades that will be impacting India for Jesus.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">    </span></span></strong></p>

Lake for this trip, and I am expecting some major Kingdom of Heaven manifestations. </span></em></strong><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">How do I know that I am on the right track spiritually and that God has some extraordinary things planned for this trip? Because I have rarely ever faced this amount of spiritual opposition from the enemy while preparing for a major ministry trip. I am not giving Satan credit or honor; but the old dog can’t learn new tricks; and so when he tries his (unsuccessful) best to get me spiritually off-track and off-focus, I know I truly have him worried about what God has planned – <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Praise the Lord</span>!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">As mentioned last month, we will be conducting our largest pastor faith seminar ever held – over 2,000 attendees; and a miracle crusade meeting in one of the most diabolical areas in all of India: The last area in the country that is a stronghold of Hindu temple prostitution that has ruined the lives of women born into the Hindu caste, as well as has ravaged the area with HIV and other diseases.</span></p>

God has enabled you to be partakers of the Kingdom of Heaven through Jesus Christ; 2. You have been delivered from the Kingdom of Darkness and have been translated in to the Kingdom of Heaven, AND you should be expecting demonstrations of the Kingdom of Heaven in your life, family and ministry! </em></strong>Let’s look at each Key separately:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>

Through receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior, you have been moved from Darkness into Light, and you have moved from the world’s system (which is Satan’s system) and moved into God’s Heavenly Kingdom. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The key understanding here is that you have an inheritance</span>: An inheritance means something given to you free of charge; and in this case you have an inheritance from God Kingdom through Jesus Christ. This Spiritual Truth should always give you hope and answers to every situation that you are facing – No matter how impossible it looks in the natural. But what you need to do is to go to God’s Word (which is you legal Will and Testament of your Godly Inheritance) and see what belongs to you and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">BELIEVE THAT IT IS YOURS NOW!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>

The second Key that I want you to meditate upon, is that you have been delivered from the ‘power of darkness’. Now that word ‘power’, also means KINGDOM; and that word “delivered’ also means RESCUED. What are you facing in your life right now that looks impossible? God has rescued you from the hopeless circumstance. Now how would you feel if you were held captive by terrorists and the military rescued you from their captivity? <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">You would feel happy, full of relief and giving thanks for being rescued</em>. This must be you mindset – <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“I am rescued, Praise the Lord!”</strong> Furthermore, you have been ‘translated’ into the Kingdom of Heaven – <span style="text-decoration: underline;">you are no longer under the authority, power or dominion of Satan; the Curse upon the world; or the Kingdom of Darkness.</span> You have been empowered to stand up to Satan, troubles and every evil thing that tries to come upon you life and say, <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“Get out of my life! You don’t have legal right to come upon me; and in the name of Jesus I command you to leave NOW!”</strong> As we learned last month, if you submit yourself to God (and His Word), resist the devil – The devil must flee! You have an inheritance; you are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven:<strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Now go and get back everything Satan has tried to steal, kill and destroy in your life, family and ministry – You have and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">inheritance</span>, you have been <span style="text-decoration: underline;">rescued </span>and are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Blessed</span>!</strong></span></p>

Dear Friends,
 
“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed <em>with them</em>: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.” </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 3.5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 3.5in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">         </span></span></span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Acts 8:5-8</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Sometimes on the field you need to adjust to the changing environment that is beyond your control. It can be an unction from the Holy Spirit to cancel a meeting due to foretold danger; or change the program right before the you are ready to get on to the platform to preach, due to electricity problems or some other infrastructural problem. I have learned over the last 15 years of field ministry to adjust and flow with the Holy Spirit – and only the Lord knows how many times such obedience has kept me out of harm’s way. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Sometimes you even have to deal with political situations; normally a national election that can be violent as the political parties clash before the polls open. But I have never encountered an international political problem like I have this March that has led to the postponement of my April Pakistan ministry trip. Like I have done since 2001, I usually go to the Pakistan embassy a few weeks before the trip and get a visa within a day or so. But I was shocked when I went to the Pakistan embassy in Singapore, put my application, passport and visa fee on the counter, and was informed that it would take one to two months to secure a visa. The reason? There is a political dispute between the US and Pakistan that has led to punitive measures taken by the Pakistani government. They are purposely making it difficult for US citizens (including US diplomats) to receive visas – all requests must go back to Islamabad and be approved by the Ministry of External Affairs. So we have postponed the April Pakistan trip which was to include </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">a pastor faith seminar in the capital city of Islamabad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Please stand in agreement that I will secure a visa as quickly as possible; and pray that the US and Pakistan develops better bilateral relations!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In the meantime, we are still busy planning a few more trips that I want to announce. I ask you to please keep these upcoming trips in your prayers, and seek the Lord about what you should do in supporting these upcoming May ministry trips:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Chitradurga</span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">, India</span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Pastor Faith Seminar and Church meetings:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In the early part of May, I will be heading back to India to conduct GJITCM’s largest pastor faith seminar every held. We are expecting <span style="text-decoration: underline;">over 2,000 pastors and church leaders</span> to attend the seminar which will take place 5 hours north of Bangalore. I am really excited about this trip because the enthusiasm for the seminar is very high. Many of the pastors and church leaders are familiar with our ministry; and they are not only expecting good Holy Spirit-led teaching, but Signs, Wonders and Miracles confirming the Word taught!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I am also excited about this trip because we are going to hold all meetings at the church of an Indian spiritual son of mine, Pastor Kottresh. He has come a long way since I first taught him Word of Faith principles in Bangalore back in 2006. He has applied the teachings and his ministry has exploded: He now pastors a church of over 7,000 members. After the seminar, I will be conducting some church meetings for him – we are expecting a great Holy Ghost time!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Kuala Lumpur</span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> and Kuantan, Malaysia Ministry Trip:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I have been asked by the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship of Malaysia (FGBMF-Malaysia) to come and hold some meetings for them in the capital city of Malaysia. Then a few of the Brothers want to take me to a Muslim stronghold area of Kuantan. The purpose of the trip to this region is to hold a pastor faith seminar to build up the Christian pastors and church leaders who are spiritually weak, intimidated and are not making any progress. We will be bringing to this very needy area, Word of Faith teaching to build up the Christian leaders and to demonstrate Holy Ghost power that will confirm the Word taught. This trip is of great importance because the FGBMF-Malaysia needs to have a strong church foundation to build upon to infiltrate the Muslim stronghold area with the Gospel.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I ask you to please pray for both these trips in May. I am believing to have some good news next month about securing a Pakistani visa and heading into the country also in the month of May. I also am expecting to have some very BIG news that will make you truly rejoice. But I will wait till next month and end this letter for now.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Till next time -</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This month I want to give to you one of the major “Keys to the Kingdom”, that if you will apply it to your life it will bring great success and victory. As most Godly Keys, it’s simple to understand – the things of God are usually simple - the complication and failure comes from not following the simple instructions. But I have been meditating upon this Key for the last month and I have seen dramatic victory in my life, family and ministry. The Key comes from James 4:7, that states <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”</em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Now the first thing I want you to see is that you need to act first: YOU NEED TO SUBMIT TO GOD. Why? Is it because God is trying to control you? No; when you submit yourself to God, to God’s Holy Word and to God’s Sovereign Will, you place yourself in proper position under His divine protection – you are protected in the cleft of the Rock that is Jesus. You also need to submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and to the Leading of the Holy Spirit. When you submit yourself to all three, you place yourself in proper position – WHICH MEANS YOU ARE IN A POSITION OVER SATAN AND EVERY EVIL WORK!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The next thing you need to do is to RESIST THE DEVIL. Too often we allow Satan and every evil thing into our lives and ministry without putting up much of a fight. The Curse of sickness and disease comes and we just say, “Oh well, it happens to everyone”. We allow lack, want and need into our lives and just act like such things happen. Remember this fact: <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Whatever you allow into your life, you are giving it place to stay.</em> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">We are redeemed from Satan and every evil work; and we have the power, authority and dominion in Jesus’ names to overcome and cast it out of our lives.</span> You need to be vigilant and resist the devil with all your strength.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">And what is the result? SATAN WILL FLEE FROM YOU. Satan and every evil work must leave you; and you will walk in the Blessing and goodness of God. Why? Because you are in your proper place: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">You have submitted to God and His Will – and God only has good things planned for your life.</span> You have to resist the devil and every evil circumstance that has tried to attached itself to you. Satan and every evil work HAS NO CHOICE but to flee from you, because you rule and reign over Him through Jesus. You have the victory in every situation because as the Word of God says in 1 John 4:17, <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“…because as he [Jesus] is, so are we in this world.”</em></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">If you will apply diligently this ‘Key to the Kingdom’, you will walk in great success and victory – SUBMIT TO GOD, RESIST THE DEVIL AND WALK IN VICTORY!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>

Dear BSCMF Member,
 
“If you are wise and understand God&#8217;s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don&#8217;t cover up the truth with boasting and lying. For jealousy and selfishness [...]]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Dear BSCMF Member,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></span></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">“</span></em></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">If you are wise and understand God&#8217;s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don&#8217;t cover up the truth with boasting and lying. For jealousy and selfishness are not God&#8217;s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.” </span></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -1.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 4in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">         </span></span></span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">James 3:13-16 (New Living Translation)</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">We are all known by the fruit we produce in our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Godly people, who study God’s Word and are doers of the Word of God and are not only hearers of the Word, will receive Godly wisdom and understanding. Walking in Godly wisdom and understanding produces Godly results and blessings. For ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you can tell pastors and church leaders who are walking according to God’s Word and Wisdom by the fruit they are producing in their life and ministry. This is spiritual law and can be found in Galatians 6:7, which states, “<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” </em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;"> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">In other words – you can’t fool God, and you can’t fool Godly people who are walking in Godly Wisdom. You will produce in your life and ministry whatever you sow. No fruit in your life? No fruit in your ministry? Then it is obvious according to James 3:13-16, that you have no understanding of God’s Ways, and that you are not walking according to God’s Wisdom. I know what I am saying is not easy for you to receive and accept; but the truth is often hard. But what is the fruit you will produce if you are walking according to jealousy, selfishness and man-made wisdom and scheming?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>“<strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Disorder and evil of every kind”.</span></strong> And that is the problem with too many ministers who I have come to know since I first came to Asia 15 years ago. Too many of you are not seeking God with your whole heart; and you are not studying God’s Word; and more importantly – You are not being DOERS OF GOD’S WORD! How do I know this is true? Because when you come and attend my pastor faith seminars, many of you will sit there and smile; but months later you will write me and ask for help because things are going wrong in your life and ministry. How can this be? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Is God a liar? Is not God’s Word THE TRUTH? Does not God’s Word produce results if you apply them? <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Yes – God’s Word will always work if you sincerely be a doer of the Word of God and not a hearer only.</strong> So, you have the answer to why you have little or no results, blessing or impact in life and ministry. You need to be a doer of God’s Word. If you will diligently seek God’s Kingdom and righteousness -<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all other things will be added to you. </em>So seek God’s Word and get God’s Wisdom and understanding, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">and you will prove it by Godly Fruit!</span></span></p>
