April 2011

Dear BSCMF Member,

“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”

• Ephesians 2:6-7

Did you know that Jesus has seated you with him in heavenly places? Most Believers do not have a revelation of this important Kingdom fact. When God raised Jesus from the dead, Jesus in total victory over Satan ascended into heaven and sat at the right hand of the Father. Jesus is seated in a SEAT OF AUTHORITY. That means that Jesus has the authority and power over all the principalities and powers and rulers of darkness –even Satan himself. It says in Ephesians 1:19-23 “This is the same power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. Now He is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made Him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is His body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with Himself.”

Christians need to understand that we are Jesus’ body and if the head is seated in heavenly places, so is his body; and that is why the word states in Ephesians 2:6, “that we sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” This is a very powerful Bible Truth, because if Jesus sits in a SEAT OF AUTHORITY, we also sit in that same seat. We sit in a SEAT OF AUTHORITY, far above ALL Satanic powers just like Jesus – Praise the Lord; that is powerful!

Then how come Satan still defeats you? Because you don’t keep seated. Satan deceives you to get up from your SEAT OF AUTHORITY through fear and worry; or even worse, Satan gets you to come down from your elevated position and come down to his level. You need to keep seated and have a renewed mindset that you have authority and dominion over Satan and every evil work. So when you are confronted with bad reports, or there are circumstances of the Curse in your life, you need to be ever mindful that this can not stand in your life because you are seated FAR ABOVE SATAN AND THE CURSE! You need to speak to Satan and that Curse that has come against you, and declare: “Is it legal for you to be in my life?” The answer is NO! And as you keep seated and speak to the enemy and reinforce his defeat in your life – all circumstances of evil must depart from you. Don’t let Satan distract you and get you to get up from your SEAT OF AUTHORITY; and make sure that you don’t go down to his level where he can defeat you – Remember: KEEP SEATED: You have the authority in Jesus’ name!

May God bless you richly,

May 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

I am writing this letter before I fly out tonight with Christina to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a 6-day trip. We will take our annual 5-hour executive health screening test at a renowned hospital in the city; and then I will be having a couple of Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship meetings; an exclusive, top executive  house fellowship meeting at a well known business tycoon’s house; and a Sunday morning church service. Christina (who is from KL and has family still living there) and I will have some fellowship with her family; as well as gatherings with some of my close Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship of Malaysia (FGBMF-Malaysia) friends who are senior leaders in this dynamic national organization. When I first came to Asia back in November 1995 and we lived in Kuala Lumpur, I ‘cut my teeth’ in ministry with FGBMF-Malaysia. They are my friends for over 15-1/2 years; and I learned how to minister through their chapter meetings and events; they treat me like family. I am expecting the power of God to be in powerful demonstration like we experienced during the month of April. I give God all the praise, as GJITCM has risen to a higher level of ministry across the board. I am starting to see some major fruit being produced from our Kingdom teaching. My senior staff, who are our senior ministers, are starting to excel in ministry; and they are starting to catch the notice of the Christian church leaders in their nation. This gives further evidence to our Commission to “prepare the way of the Lord’s return”, by teaching and exhorting Asia regional church leaders to have the same mindset as Jesus by walking in compassion, humility and servanthood. As the Word of God states in Matthew 20:26-28 – “Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” And I firmly believe, and God is confirming His Word with mighty signs following, that Christian leaders around the world need to follow Jesus’ example and His Word, in order to walk in Kingdom power to bring in the End-time Harvest!

 During the month of April, GJITCM-Pakistan was once again, very busy preaching and teaching the principles of the Kingdom of God and Faith, and confirming the Word with signs following:

 Rev. Tahir Rafiq, GJITCM-Pakistan Country Director and Senior Minister, was used mightily by the Lord in two sets of meetings -  A Believers Faith Seminar in Lahore and a Pastor Faith Seminar in the city of Multan. The Believer’s Faith Seminar in Lahore, was the most powerful meeting that Tahir has had to date. He taught the Word to over 100 Believers from Nishat Colony, and God confirmed His Word with mighty signs following. The ‘buzz’ from the meeting is still going through the Christian community; and Tahir has received invitations from neighboring communities to hold seminars. The Pastor Faith Seminar had over 120 pastors and church leaders in attendance who heard teaching on the Kingdom and Faith for the first time. Tahir did a great job; and the pastors asked him to come back for another seminar. Bond Servants of Christ Ministerial Fellowship gained 51 new members from the Multan seminar!

Mehwish Shahid, Country Director of GJITCM-Pakistan Women’s Ministry and Sana John, conducted a very powerful Women’s Faith Seminar in Shahidra, Pakistan. There were over 100 women in the attendance; and I can’t properly explain to you just how ground breaking it is to have women ministers teaching women – Traditionally in Pakistan, women sit in the congregations and the men preach (this is especially true in this male dominated –predominantly Muslim society). But GJITCM-Pakistan and its apostolic ministry is setting a new spiritual foundation; and God is confirming His Will for the promotion of women preachers with mighty signs, wonders and miracles. Indeed, I am going to be very bold in claiming that my spiritual daughter, Mehwish, is one of the most anointed preachers in Pakistan – Man or Woman. She is a very humble and spiritual young lady, who has dedicated her life to the Lord; and God has anointed her with mighty Holy Ghost power. The fact that Mehwish (married to GJITCM Churches of Pakistan Overseer and Senior Pastor, Shahid) is recently pregnant and will continue to preach the Word after the baby is born is going to be a powerful testimony to the women of Pakistan. Sister Sana is “Timothy’ to Mehwish’s “Paul”, and this young 21 year old young lady is on fire for God, and being  discipled and mentored by Mehwish – As any great leader, she is duplicating her ministry through Sana, who is responding and becoming a powerful preacher on her own.

The Lord told me a number of years ago – GJITCM is all about the Kingdom of God; and the way the Kingdom advances, is by becoming a seed planted into the lives of others and they grow also to experience the Kingdom. My Pakistani senior ministers are the ‘first-fruits’, who have grown into Kingdom fruit; and now they are going throughout the nation and imparting the Kingdom into Pakistanis nationwide. The meetings they have conducted over the last two months have been “spiritual training sessions”: I review and critique all their meetings, and show them what they need to focus upon and change – and they have been diligent to make changes. They are ready for promotion and therefore, GJITCM-Pakistan is planning larger citywide meetings where larger pastor seminar will be taught by BOTH Tahir and Mehwish, with both ministering to the pastors and church leaders that will confirm the Word taught with signs following. God is raising GJITCM-Pakistan’s profile – not as an exercise of self-glory, but so that GJITCM can make a Kingdom impact that will bring in the End-time Harvest within Pakistan. Please stand in agreement with God’s plan and confirming Kingdom results!

Not to be outdone by my spiritual kids, in April I made a trip to Chitradurga, India. I have mentioned in past letters my Indian spiritual son who is 20-something and has a ‘mega church’ of over 8,000 members in one of the most demonic areas of India; an area known for one of the last spiritual strongholds where Hindu Temple Prostitution still takes place. Pastor Kotturesh was sent by the Lord to the area; and after his first year he headed back home defeated – He didn’t even get ONE PERSON SAVED in one year’s time. But when he got to his home village, the Lord visited him and told Kotturesh to go back to Chitradurga. After the 2^nd year, Kotturesh had over 1,000 Hindu salvations that became the foundation for his church. I met him when he had less than 3,000 members; and he has attended every seminar of mine since late 2005. He credits GJITCM for teaching him about the Kingdom and Faith, and he now has over 8,000 members spread out over 5 churches in a 65 kilometer area. The church is made up of rural farmers and goat herders, and has former temple prostitutes as members who came to know the Lord – This is one of the most powerful churches in India; and as my spiritual son, Kotturesh is meek and humble with a true servant’s heart; who is quick to learn and is a respectful spiritual son (remember, the young man is NOT EVEN 30 years old yet!)

The Kingdom of God is a matter of preaching the Word and confirming the Word; and it’s a duplication process, spiritual seeds producing Kingdom expansion and impact. GJITCM is at the forefront of this End-time revelation, and we are humbled that God is using us mightily in Asia!

Till next time -

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

Dr. Will Pantin
