February, 2009

Greetings from Pennsylvania,

As I shared in the January newsletter, we have been in a time of transition. Abba has chosen to call us out of Brunswick, Georgia and relocate us in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. Needless to say it has not been an easy task, but with a lot of good help, we are pretty well settled in now and ready for all of the challenges that come with relocation, and they are many.

It was twenty-two years ago that Abba called me out of this area and so it seems strange to be based here once again. Also, twenty-two years have brought many changes to this area and so I am slowly but surely learning my way around once again, weather permitting.

Speaking of weather, Abba answered our prayers and kept us free of all ice and snow as we traveled through the mountains to come here and unload the truck. There was freezing rain and snow in the surrounding areas, but we had none of it to contend with until after we arrived, unloaded the truck and then it all moved in. Therefore, we want to thank all of you for praying for us as we traveled. Those prayers were certainly answered, and we are all so grateful.

My daughter, Donna, was the forerunner in this relocation. She did all of the leg work on the Pennsylvania end, and Justin, the young man in Brunswick who worked with us in shipping humanitarian aid to Israel, helped with all the packing and came with dolly in hand to help load the truck.

Raymond and Mylinda Pearson of Hineini Ministries in Atlanta were kind enough to come down, help load the truck and then drive it through to Pennsylvania for us. After arriving in Pennsylvania, Raymond, Mylinda, Donna, David and two of my grandchildren, Christina and Daniel, worked to unload the truck, set everything in place and then return the truck. How I thank God for each and every one of them for it was strenuous work and bitter cold weather that they had to work in. I am forever grateful!

It is with great urgency in spirit that we have been sent back in to this area. At times I actually felt as though Abba was pushing me out of Brunswick.

I will be ministering now in the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and western New York, as well as Kentucky and Tennessee. I am looking forward to seeing many of you whom I’ve not seen in a long, long time.

When He placed the call upon me to follow Him in to the North, He said, “Pray for the region in which I AM placing you for a season. I AM sending you to both Jews and Gentiles within these states to speak My truth that perhaps many will hear, humble themselves, repent and turn to Me, even in the Church.”

He went on to say that He would be moving me in a much more aggressive manner than ever before. He told me to move quickly with each new assignment for time is short and soon the darkness in this country will be so great that it will be difficult for any of us to work. He said to proclaim that the Kingdom of God is at hand, heal the sick and work with Him to set those who are in bondage free, for there is only a brief window of opportunity left to do so.

John 9:4 “I must work the works of Him who sent me, while it is yet day, for the night cometh when no man can work.”

The last two mornings, as He awakened me to pray at 3:00 AM, I was so burdened for lost souls that all I could do was weep. The lost souls I was shown are both in the Church and out of the Church. Let us pray for all of those in the apostate Church that they will awaken from their slumber and delusion and repent, turning to God with their whole heart, while there is yet time.

Let us pray for His Remnant Church, the true Church, that they be strong in the power of His might, walk in a spirit of repentance, fast as He calls them to fast, pray as He leads them to pray and continue to give in to His work sacrificially. We must trust Him and lean on Him no matter what is happening round about us.

Prevailing prayer will send forth across this Nation the mercy and grace needed to bring multitudes in to the Kingdom of God. Giving sacrificially will spread the Gospel and advance His Kingdom in all of the earth if you give it where the Lord Himself tells you to give it. It will enable others to go in to the fields if we cannot go ourselves. We must live each day with eternity in mind.

Let us pray that many more laborers will follow Him in to His fields when He calls on them to do so, for the fields truly are ripe for harvest, and He is terribly concerned about spoilage.

Last but surely not least, we must pray for our government! Nothing is impossible for our God! “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of water, He turns it anyway He so chooses.” (Prov. 21:1)

He can either change the hearts of our President, Vice President, and any member of this new administration, or remove them, in His time, if we are faithful to pray. However, at the present time, because the people made their choice known at the polls and He stepped back and gave them what they wanted, the one they chose is now being used against us as a rod of judgment in the hand of the Almighty.

We cannot say that we were not warned in advance. The shofar was sounded time and time again, loud and clear. He warned us repeatedly that America was crumbling because as a Nation she has been tramping on His heart, tramping on His cross, and proclaiming liberty from His commandments. I shared with you all months before the election that Abba said, “They do not want Me to lead them. We’ll soon see how they like the one their rebellion has chosen to take My place!”

Let us pray for all of those in Congress who truly do belong to Him that they be strengthened, emboldened and be the godly witnesses for Him that He needs them to be in this hour. Each of them has a large realm of influence, but they need our prayer support as well as an encouraging word from time to time. In this administration the true believers are greatly outnumbered.

Abba is shaking everything that can possibly be shaken. The back of America has been broken! If there is not national repentance and a genuine turning back to God soon, in this country, America is well on her way to destruction. Time is very quickly running out!

Just Thinking…

“Myrna, this morning I was thinking about the Titanic and the man who said, “God cannot sink this ship”. I believe that this is what has been said about America. When the Titanic began to sink, the waters began coming in first on the lower level. Those waters served as weight to slowly and inevitably begin to pull the rest of the ship under. Once those waters began to rise in the ships lower parts, the final result was much suffering, death and devastation.

“When I read in your newsletter about the horrific destruction that would soon fall upon America, and the Church is not ready, I began to see that the suffering that will engulf this nation will not be isolated to particular areas, but it will affect the whole ship. Everyone will see and feel the devastation and lack that is about to come.

“Perhaps that is why God is uniting those of like faith, those who will be loyal to each other, and most of all loyal to God. In the time that is coming I can definitely see the need for loyalty and commitment in friendships. I can also see the need for separation from those who only serve Christ in pretense.” Love you, Sue West

My Faithful Ones

“Have I not said that I will have a place of refuge for My faithful ones? My faithful ones, who have been forged in the furnace, even in the midst of this violent shaking world. You will know that your safety and security is in Me, for only I AM your helper, your rescuer, your deliverer, your Savior, your fortress, your shelter and a present help in time of troubles. Upon you shall rest My mercy, My grace and My favor. I AM gathering My faithful ones together!”

Clean Out the Clutter

“I put two pieces of bread in the toaster and pushed it down, but it didn’t stay down. I tried again but with no success. Tony heard me and called from the next room that the same thing had happened to him. We agreed that it was time to buy a new toaster, but then I remembered that if the toaster is unplugged it won’t stay down, so I looked but found that it was plugged in.

“I took the bread out and looked inside the toaster and saw three small pieces of bread stuck in the bottom. I unplugged it and opened the bottom to carefully remove the bread, piece by piece. Then, I shook the toaster to get all of the crumbs out, cleaned the bottom tray, plugged it back in and it worked beautifully.

“How often we think that all we have to do is be “plugged in” to the Lord. And we make no other effort to keep out (or clean out) the clutter and distractions that interfere with our ability to use His power. The result is a very poor witness to the love and power of the God we love and serve. This week, may we all not only be “plugged in” to the Lord, but also allow nothing to interfere with the flow of His power through us.” Blessings, Vera

Purpose Driven Inaugural Confusion

Sam Guzman writes, “Rick Warren is faced with the fact that he is going to have to either state that all paths lead to God or confirm unequivocally that Yeshua is the only way to the Father. If he explicitly states that Yeshua is the only way, he will no longer be welcomed in the halls of political power, and he can forget any further snuggle-fests at the White House, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the UN.

“As it stands now, he really pleases nobody. Straddling a fence becomes really uncomfortable after a time. I predict that Rick Warren is going to make a sharp move to the left, theologically, very shortly for this very reason. The Purpose Driven Machine has gone about as far as it is going to go with his present approach. (Hypocrisy).

“Just as he was willing to remove negative statements about homosexuality and church membership at the Saddleback website, he is, without a doubt, going to have to delete even more material to move ahead to the rest of his spiritual program for the world.”

Note: The time for preaching the true Gospel on television, and the “New Spirituality”, “Redefined Christianity” and a “Redefined Yeshua” off the air is all over. Today the Lord is exposing this kind of hypocrisy and causing all of us to choose whom we will serve! Too many of His people have been confused and deceived by this kind of hypocrisy and false teaching. Abba is saying that He will no longer tolerate it. “Enough is enough!”

Our Babylonian System

“The Babylonian system of government and economy that we have been under has fallen apart, having no stability. It is experiencing a shaking that has only begun and will increase in intensity. The entire foundation was counterfeit to begin with. A kingdom must have true leadership, one of legitimate stance. One who is loyal to his nation and its subjects, and one who holds the constitution of that nation in reverence, especially to those who paid a price to establish it and keep to its statutes. This, in this failing system, has only been a lip service action and all the while, under the surface there has been an undermining influence at work.

“All governments have a constitution or established set of rules to live and govern by, but alas, that, too, has been prostituted by counterfeit interpretation, that has made it only a slightly noticed set of ideas that can be gotten around even by the highest of courts in our land.

“One of the most evident deceptions is that, while any stable kingdom or government has a stable wealth, with substance that backs and maintains it, the Babylonian system that we function by has currency that is loosely called legal tender, but is as counterfeit as any other manufactured fake or false currency. It is money printed or coined that has no substantial backing and the currency we now use is of that stance. It is printed as needed without any substance. But …

“The Lord says, My Kingdom is unshakeable, and will ever continue in power, strength, and true prosperity. It will always function by My Word. I AM the power of My Word and My Kingdom, and I AM very watchful to perform My Word, every syllable of it. I tell you that your personal and corporate place in Christ, My Anointed One, has been established and and prepared since before the foundation of the world for all of My children, and it is for the here and now and also the “then”, when all My own will return with Me to establish, rule and reign with Me in My Kingdom and with My power and MY sufficiency backing every move and need.

“We are all one and there will be no such word as partisan division in My Kingdom and there will be no such term as political correctness that dilutes truth and exalts falsehoods. Keep your focus on Me and your attention to My Word and you will see Me come in the glory that you have dreamed of, and I tell you that you are an eternal part of with Me.” Jim Stone

Short Term Missions

Thank you so much for the prayer cover you all gave to Donna Super as she travelled to Israel for the International Prayer Conference, and to Jan Wilker as she returned to minister in the Ukraine. Both of them have safely returned and say, “Thank You!”

I’d like to ask you now to pray for Pastors Louis and Karen Saparito as they leave for Israel March 3^rd to participate in the ICEJ Pastor’s Conference. This will be their first trip to Israel so let us pray that the dear Lord will meet them there in a very special way as He so likes to do. Safe Travel!

Our Unemployed

I would like you all to join us in prayer for all of those who are now unemployed, and not of their own choosing. Pink slips are being handed out right and left in this country right now. My heart aches for all those who, by no fault of their own, are suddenly finding themselves unable to provide for their families. Also pray for the homeless who are on the streets in this horrid, frigid weather. Thank you!

*******

Thank you so much for all of the precious letters and emails. I love hearing from you. Please pray for us as we set out to do what Abba has brought us here to do.
