September 2010

Dear BSCMF Member,

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

·         Isaiah 55:8-9

For you to operate in the Kingdom of Heaven – not just doing the work of the ministry, but to walk in Kingdom power and authority to change the world around you – you need a mindset change! This means that everything that you do, every way and manner you have been doing the work of the ministry over the years, must be open to Holy Ghost examination. You must be willing to press into God through the Word and in prayer, and listen to what the Spirit of the Lord says about the way you have been conducting your life and ministry. AND – you must be courageous to change your ways if you hear the Holy Spirit say that you need to change. You must surrender all to Jesus and let Him have complete control of your life and ministry, if you want to walk like Jesus walked upon the earth: READ THE SCRIPTURES AND YOU WILL SEE THAT JESUS SURRENDERED ALL TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD. Your life and ministry must come under complete submission to the Spirit of God…and Brethren, this is not an easy thing to do!

The story of the rich young ruler who came to Jesus and who went away sad because Jesus told him to sell all that he possessed and to follow him, is a good illustration of the difficulty of changing your ways. Jesus was trying to change the rich young ruler’s way of operation. Now think of it – Everything that the rich young ruler knew to do to be successful; everything that not only he was doing, but that his family had been doing for generations (the things that made the family rich), Jesus wanted that rich young ruler to throw away his intellect, experience and his skills – AND JESUS WANTED HIM TO TRUST IN A NEW WAY: The Kingdom of God Way! The rich young ruler couldn’t change his ways of doing things – the ways that made him successful and rich: But they were the world’s ways! We don’t know what happened to that rich young ruler. Maybe he lost everything when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem; maybe he was always in constant fear and worried about losing all his fortune. The thing that Jesus was trying to do – and what he is trying to do now through me – is to give you a better way, God’s Kingdom way of doing things that will bring the power and authority of God into your life that will give you greater success than you have ever known. A way that ‘sees the beginning from the end’, and that can stop evil from falling upon you. BE COURAGEOUS AND SEEK FIRST GOD”S KINGDOM WAY OF OPERATION – It will bring victory into your life; and it will bring the miraculous power of God into your life and ministry that will impact the world!

May God bless you richly,

Dr. Will Pantin

September 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 am writing this letter from our new home in Bangalore, India. Although we are still waiting for the 40’ ship container to arrive with all our house furniture and goods, we are making due with rental furniture and basics. Still, we are greatly enjoying this new home and praising the Lord for giving us such a wonderful blessing.

With each passing day, God confirms more and more how much this move to India was divinely ordained. We have witnessed some mighty miracles already (I am not exaggerating) that defy logic, and which have helped eased the transition from Singapore – International moves are difficult, but a move to India has its special obstacles that truly make this country globally recognized as a “hardship posting”; but God’s grace and mighty hand was truly in manifestation.  among other things we finally received our multi-entry visas.

The multi-entry visa will be very necessary, as I will be flying to the US on September 10^th. I have been asked to By Pastor Tracy Harris to speak at his ministers’ conference in Texarkana, TX. I ask you to keep my travel in your prayers – I will be traveling from September 10-19. I have a powerful Word from the Lord about Kingdom that I will be sharing; and I am expecting God to confirm His Word with great Signs, Wonders and Miracles!

Pakistan Ministry

I have some wonderful news about our ministry in Pakistan. After inquiries from Kenneth Copeland Ministries–Europe, we partnered together (with some other ministries) to assist in bringing relief to the people affected by the Pakistan flood disaster. As many of you know, Pakistan has been hit by devastating floods that have left millions homeless. Many areas of Pakistan were affected – including southern Punjab state (Lahore, where GJITCM-Pakistan has its country office, is the capital of Punjab state) and the northern areas in the state of Sindh and the area around Peshawar. GJITCM-Pakistan Country Director, Rev Tahir Rafiq, did an outstanding job putting a plan of action into affect. He contacted our Bond Servant of Christ Ministerial Fellowship members in the city of Multan (close to the area affected in southern Punjab state), and got a firsthand assessment of what was need by the flood affected families – FOOD! So Tahir and our GJITCM associate Pastor Asif traveled to Multan and with the finances we sent, they bought food that could feed a Pakistani family (usually large families) for one week: 10 Kg of flour, 1 Kg of cooking oil, 1 Kg of sugar, 1 kg of beans, 2 kg of rice, 6 liters of water, one week’s supply of tea and various spices.

The plan was to reach Christian families in particular, as the Pakistan Islamic government would be focusing their relief efforts towards the Muslim population. Tahir and the team traveled as far as 1oo kms from Multan trying to reach families devastated by the floods – leaving homes and relocating in other areas without food to eat. Hundreds of Christian families were provided food for one week that could tie them over till the flood waters receded.

Tahir and the team were also able to give food packages to 58 Muslim families who they met along the way – Muslim families were seeking shelter near roads in tents. Tahir reports that the Muslim people were shocked when he told them that he was a Christian and wanted to share the love of Christ with them by giving them food. They received the food and God’s love very gratefully – Praise the Lord!

 Till next time -

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

Dr. Will Pantin
