February 2010

Dear BSCMF Member,

“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”  

·         Matthew 4:17

Are you tired of failure in your life? Are you wondering why the Word of God doesn’t seem to be manifesting the way it should be in your ministry? Do the promises of God seem to be unfulfilled in your life? Jesus gives us the answer to why this is so – “Repent: for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand”.

The Kingdom of Heaven (or as it is written in other places in the New Testament, “The Kingdom of God”) is God’s best. It represents the Government of God and is characterized by the Blessing of God. It is how Adam walked before he bowed his knee to Satan in the Garden; and it is how Jesus walked upon the earth. The Kingdom of Heaven is God’s government upon the earth; and as it says in the Lord’s Prayer: “God’s Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” There is no sickness in heaven, nor poverty or failure: There is only God’s abundant love and blessings lavished upon His children.

But Jesus said we needed to do one thing first to experience the Kingdom of Heaven – REPENT. Now, traditionally that means that we repent of sin in our life; and it is true – to walk in the Blessing of God we need to make sure we keep clean. But the word “Repent” also means “to think differently”, or in other words – to have a mindset change. To walk in God’s best, we need to renew our thinking to what God’s Word says; and if we are thinking God’s thoughts, we will receive God’s purpose and plan – which means we will be victorious.

Why do many Christians fail in life? It is because they have not developed a new mindset – changing their thinking to line-up with God’s Word. For example – the Bible says to tithe, and that the Windows of Heaven will be opened for you, and God will pour out a blessing so large there will not be room enough to receive it all; and He will rebuke Satan for you (Malachi 3:8-12). Yet people don’t tithe (including pastors), and God’s people don’t understand God’s ways of being financially blessed (in life and ministry), which is by giving and sowing financial seed. Remember -If you want Godly results, you need to follow God’s Word, and renew your mind to what God has said about your life and circumstances – NO MATTER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES SAY IN THE NATURAL.

We all need to study and meditate upon God’s Word DAILY and allow it to develop a new mindset – only then will we find God’s Will, Plan and Purpose. If you want to be successful in life, you need to Repent: Change your mindset. Only then will you experience God’s Kingdom in abundance and walk in victory!

May God bless you richly,

Dr. Will Pantin

February 2010

Dear Friends,

“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 with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”

·         Acts 8:5-8

I have just arrived back to Singapore from my annual winter trip to the US – attending the KCM Ministers Conference in Ft Worth and preaching at some churches. It is good to spend a few days with Christina and resting up before heading to Lahore, Pakistan. I believe that this upcoming trip to Pakistan will be one of the most important trips that I have ever taken to Pakistan in 9 years of ministry in the country; and that this trip will have a major spiritual impact upon the entire nation.

There is great anticipation in my spirit for the pastor faith seminars to be held in the cities of Gjuranwala and Sheikepura. There is also great excitement and anticipation in the natural, from pastors and church leaders in these cities regarding the seminars. GJITCM-Pakistan staff is receiving testimonies of a ‘Holy Ghost buzz’ throughout the Christian communities of Gjuranwala and Sheikepura.

The pastor faith seminar in Gjuranwala is going to be a major event with historical ramifications. There will be approximately 1,000 pastors and church leaders gathered for our “Victory by Faith” seminar. But what makes this seminar unique is the fact that the majority of the pastors and church leaders registered are from main-line Christian denominations. Specifically, this will be the largest gathering of Presbyterians, Methodists and Lutherans ministers; as well as Roman Catholic priests (with Evangelical pastors and church leaders also in attendance) in the city; and most probably the largest multi-denominational gathering of Church leaders in the history of Pakistan. I am expecting God to do something extraordinary to not only bring these denominational leaders into a Born-again, Holy Ghost-filled life; but I am believing God for a divine move that will be the spark to ignite an End-time harvest revival in this officially Muslim nation. Pakistan, the only Muslim nuclear power, is at the center of world events – God is ready to shake this nation with Holy Ghost power that will have a spiritual ripple effect throughout the entire region!

The Sheikepura pastor faith seminar is also eagerly anticipated by the pastors and church leaders of the city. In February 2009, I held miracle crusades in Sheikepura that resulted in a mighty move of God – divine healings and deliverances including, the deaf hearing and the lame walking. Ever since, the Christian leaders of Sheikepura have been asking GJITCM to come to the city and hold a citywide seminar. With such great anticipation and expectation, I know by the Spirit of God, that there will be a major divine move that will impact the city and nation.

Coming with me on this trip will be Tony Sheard, who is the Chairman of the Trustees of Kenneth Copeland Ministries – Europe. Please keep this trip that will take place from February 4-11, in your prayers- Believe with us for Holy Ghost impact!

Our ministry in Pakistan is moving to a new level of spiritual impact, not only through pastor faith seminars, evangelistic crusades, planting strategic city churches and by growing and strengthening our Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship; but also through a building project that I would like to bring to your attention for prayer and support:

I have been going into cities around Pakistan for the last 9 years, holding miracle crusades and pastor faith seminar that have impacted the nation. But increasingly over the years, travel is getting more and more dangerous. We now have armed guards at every meeting (have you ever conducted a Christian meeting with security carrying AK-47s?), and sometimes security is hard to manage and maintain. Also, there is rising awareness to the growing influence of Muslim fundamentalism in the nation that has resulted in persecution against the Church. For example, our pastor in Quetta has recently received a death threat that has forced GJITCM to relocate the pastor and his family to a safer section of the city.

During a Lahore pastor faith seminar last February 2009, both Pastor Tracy Harris and I started to prophecy and see spiritually that the day is coming when Western ministers will be severely limited in their travel, and thus their ability, to reach the nation of Pakistan with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As a result, GJITCM has embarked upon a building project to build a ministry training complex in Lahore.

It is God’s plan to build a ministry complex that will feature a seminar hall that will seat 1,000 pastors and church leaders. By building a training center in Lahore, situated near our church office in the Youhanabad area of the city (which is considered a ‘safe area’), we will be able to bring pastors and church leaders from throughout Pakistan to the city of Lahore to attend seminars, while speakers like myself and guests who I bring into the nation, will be relatively ‘safe’ by being based at a Lahore hotel that features heightened security measures. Guest speakers and I will not have to travel to other cities where security arrangements are marginal at best. Also, in case the day comes when foreign Christian speakers will be hindered or prohibited from coming into Pakistan due to Islamic fundamentalism, having a facility with internet conferencing will allow me and other teachers to continue to make Holy Ghost impartations into the lives of Pakistani ministers.

The facility will also double as a Lahore city church building (allowing us to significantly grow the church and its impact as a model ‘faith-based’ church to the nation); and also will have offices for GJITCM-Pakistan, as well as class rooms for a future Word of Faith-centered Bible School that will train pastors and church leaders to go throughout Pakistan and preach the uncompromised Word of Faith.

This project is of vital importance and is directed by the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Many of you know of Pastor Tracy Harris of Harvest International Ministries (HIM) in Texarkana; Pastor Tracy is coordinating the fund raising for this building project. We have projected a cost of US$100,000 for the land and building costs. We have already received $12,000 for the project, and are believing for the remaining portion of the budget. Please keep this spiritually vital building project in your prayers. If you feel led to give to the GJITCM Training Center building project, please contact Pastor Tracy Harris at Harvest International Ministries, 4000 Arkansas Blvd, Texarkana, Ar, 71854 or call: 1-870-774-4446.

Well, I need to prepare for the Pakistan trip that will commence in a few days. Please keep this trip, GJITCM and me in your prayers: it’s going to be awesome!

Till next time -

You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,

Dr. Will Pantin
