January 2011

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

Another year- 2011…My Lord, time is moving quickly along! The truth of that ‘harsh’ reality keeps me focused upon the fact that we have such a limited time to make a TRUE Kingdom impact in life; and that to waste time and let it slip away brings no reward for us in eternity or does anything for the Kingdom of God here upon the earth. My prayer for you and myself is that we keep our eye on the finish line and keep pressing towards the mark of the ‘high calling’. Remember, there is a big difference between ‘works’ and Kingdom works – one produces true impact that changes the world; the other produces nothing of true spiritual value but looks ‘good to the eye’. We need to examine our fruit constantly!

As I write this letter, we are still receiving testimonies from the awesome Quetta, Pakistan miracle meetings. It truly humbles me to be used of God is such a powerful way. We can preach ‘nice’ messages that have no real Kingdom impact; but to reach the Muslim world, we need the REALITY of the Kingdom of God to destroy entrenched mindsets and to create a new Kingdom reality- This was the reality of the Early Church and it is the same today.  Only true life-changing, Holy Ghost power will destroy the stronghold of Islam- and that is what we experienced in Quetta on the Afghanistan border: Life-changing power!

 We have recently received testimonies from Muslim families in Quetta, of a Muslim deaf and mute girlfrom birth receiving her hearing and being able to speak; and a Muslim girl who was lame from birth being able to walk. Praise the Lord – I am really excited about these because this is not about “Dr Will’s anointing”, but this is about the Kingdom of God that has created a NEW REALITY. Just think of the Muslim communities where these girls live. They know these girls; watched them grow up lame and deaf and dumb. Now the Muslim neighbors see the girls walking and hearing and talking: Daily constant reminders of the Kingdom of God and the Lordship of Jesus Christ- Praise the Lord! And this is the reality of the TRUE apostolic calling – to bring the Gospel to new lands; the establishment of the Kingdom of God…GJITCM and I are starting to experience the fullness of that calling; to God be the glory!

Apostolic power, authority and ‘open doors’ continued in December, during our Vellore, India ministry trip. This was the first time that I visited the city of Vellore, which is located some 4 hours southeast of Bangalore (about 2 hours from the major city of Chennai). Vellore is known for its 100+ year old, Christian teaching hospital (known throughout India). I came to the city to conduct a pastor faith seminar, night-time meetings and a Sunday church service at its largest church. We had 300 pastors and 5-fold ministers gathered during the seminar. To evidence what I am speaking about regarding true apostolic anointing (which includes Open Doors), we found out the first morning of the seminar that an Andhra Pradesh state television network wanted to tape the seminar for state-wide broadcast FREE OF CHARGE!

The pastor faith seminar was well received, and the participants loved the Kingdom and Faith teachings that renewed their minds and brought a new Kingdom mindset of victory. As a result of the seminar, our Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship (BSCMF) reached a new milestone: 6,500 members is Asia!

Considering that BSCMF is a non-denominational fellowship that even includes Roman Catholic priests, Methodists, Lutherans, as well as evangelicals; and not only just pastors and ministers of small churches and ministries, but bishops of 450 nationwide churches and ministries that have won millions to Jesus, I believe that we are creating TRUE unity of faith in the Body of Christ. BSCMF is impacting Asia with true Kingdom power; and I believe it is the fastest growing ministerial fellowship in Asia; that has as its main theme the mindset of Jesus in ministry: Servanthood, Humility, Compassion and an “Eternity”/Kingdom of God mindset to change the world around us. The fruit of the commission divinely given speaks for itself.

The nighttime meetings were very powerful with the Holy Ghost in great manifestation – The church venue never encountered Kingdom power in such a manner as I preached from Romans chapter 8, “Nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ!” But the highlight of the trip was being invited to speak at the Sunday service of the largest (1,500 members) and most influential church in Vellore, India: Zion Pentecostal Church. The influence of this church is heightened by the fact that many doctors, interns and nurses are members from the famous Christian Hospital. I taught on the Kingdom of God; and my friends the reaction was staggering- 1,500 church members made such a ‘joyful noise unto the Lord’ that the church was shaken to its foundations. But why this was truly an ‘apostolic gift in action’, was the fact that I was invited by the pastor to return to Vellore to conduct a 3-night, citywide miracle meeting – A trip hosted entirely by the church….If you know India, that is truly a miracle of God. The Lord spoke to me back in November, that 2010 was the revealing and manifestation of our Apostolic gifting; 2011 is the ‘Year for the Open Door’ of our Apostolic calling: with the evidence of this Vellore citywide invitation last month, the invitation to conduct citywide outdoor miracle meetings in Quetta, and having just received an invitation to come to a new country in Asia, we are seeing the first fruits of this 2011 Word given…and did you notice, citywide: GJITCM is living up to its name !

Please stand in agreement with us for KINGDOM IMPACT in 2011; and consider supporting our ministry as we continue to ‘prepare the way of the Lord’s return’. All of the GJITCM staff, Christina and I wish you a truly “Days of Heaven upon the Earth- 2011!

Till next time -

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

Dr. Will Pantin

January ’11 BSCMF Letter

January 2011

Dear BSCMF Member,

“Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I speak are not My own, but My Father who lives in Me does His work through Me.”

·         John 14:10 (NLT)

As we begin the New Year – 2011, I want to encourage you to be “Christ-centered” in your life and ministry. In today’s Body of Christ around the world, there is a lack of understanding and a missing revelation of Jesus being everything to us. In today’s Body of Christ, there is a focus upon, what I would describe as being, “Church-centered” Christianity. What is the difference? In “Church-centered” Christianity, pastors and 5-fold ministers are focused upon ways to attract people to their churches and ministries. They use man-made schemes and plans to promote themselves and their ministries. The true end-result is that the “Church-centered” mentality has worldly programs and messages with ‘enticing words’, but that are totally empty of the power of God; and as a result the church and ministry has no real Kingdom of God impact.

But if you are “Christ-centered”, then you will base your church/ministry upon the foundation of Jesus. Specifically, you will be totally dependent upon Jesus to do your ministry work. This dependency will open the door for the Holy Spirit to NOT PROMOTE YOU, but to promote and glorify Jesus! In today’s Church World, there is too much self-promotion, and it has limited the Holy Spirit’s ability to work in mighty signs, wonders and miracles. How do we build a “Christ-centered” life? Jesus gives us the answer in John 14:10: We build it by developing OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD! Jesus did ministry work with great Holy Ghost power because He and Father God were one. Jesus stated, “…My Father who lives in Me does His work through Me.” Do you see the difference? In “Church-centered” thinking, you are the one who is trying to attract people to your church/ministry. You end up focusing upon man-made plans to try to promote yourself and work…and who gets the glory? YOU DO!

When you act like Jesus and walk in intimacy with God, you develop your relationship with Jesus and Father God through the Holy Spirit. Then just like Jesus, it will be the Father in you who is doing His work through you. You will then open the door for Holy Ghost power to demonstrate the Kingdom of God to the world around you, in mighty signs, wonder and miracles. You will not have to worry about promoting your ministry, because God will be the one who will be promoting you and your ministry!

In 2011, I want you to focus developing a “Christ-centered” mindset that controls your life and ministry. If you do, you will walk in “Days of Heaven upon the earth” this year; and you will transform the world around you for Jesus – promoting and glorifying Him!

May God bless you richly,

Dr. Will Pantin
