I’ve enclosed the

not be able to get accommodations.
The conference will be held at Second Chance
Fellowship in Joshua, Texas. It is on the main street
running through the center of Joshua. The Ch. ph. no. is
817-447-1129. Everyone is welcome so bring a friend and be
blessed. See you in Joshua!
Catch the
Wave!
Surfers have a phrase, “catch the wave”.
Obviously, they mean “hitch a ride on the
wave”, because waves are far too powerful to catch!
So it is with the wave of God’s Spirit that is
pounding the shores of Christendom at this present time.
For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, the glory
of His manifest power is breathtaking! This powerful wave
is creating a rare opportunity for brave and adventurous
souls to get into something new and exhilarating. But be
careful! The undertow from the entrenched religious
establishment is treacherous as its outgoing wave opposes
everything new that God does. Its professors of religion
prefer the safety of wading in the shallow waters of
religious tradition rather than swimming in the open seas
of God’s unfathomable love.
The Prophet’s Perspective
This Present
Truth
Last month we discussed how God’s declared
will progressively unfolds until it becomes an established
present truth reality in the earth. As we’ve
discussed in past newsletters, the Son (Word) declares
God’s will, the Spirit reveals His way and the Father
does the work. By receiving the revelation of God’s
purposes and allowing the Holy Spirit to show us His timing
and the way He has predetermined to achieve His goals, we
can participate with our Heavenly Father as He accomplishes
His marvelous plan, both in and through us.
God does not work alone. We can do nothing without
Him and He has no intention of working without our willing
participation! Our primary purpose is to manifest what He
is doing and give Him the glory as His miraculous deeds are
preformed. As Paul stated, “For all the promises of
God in [Christ] are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of
God by us” (2 Cor. 1:20).
In the past, our “church” structure has
greatly limited God by only using professional
“clergyman” to do the work of the ministry.
Instead of training the masses to do the work,
they’ve made them inactive spectators of their
bungled attempts at doing it (see Eph. 4:11-16). God is
changing all of that. If the churches won’t allow Him
to move and work in and through the people as He desires,
He will do as He has always done – simply take them
out of the present church structure and make a new form
that will allow Him to move.
God’s ways are unchanging. What He has done
before, He will do again. David said that God, “made
known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of
Israel” (Psalm 103:7). When Israel rebelled in the
wilderness, “Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched
it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it
the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass,
that every one which sought the Lord went out unto the
tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the
camp” (Exod. 33:7). Most of those who are leaving the
present church structure (the “camp”) and
choosing rather to meet in homes and offices are not in
rebellion – they are seeking God!
When the Jews rebelled against God and rejected
their Messiah, the writer of Hebrews exhorted them to leave
their Jewish traditions and, “...go forth therefore
unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach”
(Heb. 13:13). A wise pastor will realize this and work with
God to make the changes that He requires rather than
complain because church attendance is down and the people
are leaving in mass!
Jesus is coming soon. One way or another, God is
going to put the people to work so that He can get the
end-time harvest in before Jesus returns. “Be patient
therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold,
the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth,
and has long patience for it, until he receive the early
and latter rain” (James 5:7). Wake up Saints;
it’s time to go to work!
“Helping Hands”
The Spanish version of The Hidden Power of Covenant is in
so, as we’ve said before, if you travel to Central or
South American on a mission trip, call me and I’ll
ship you several of them to take with you to distribute.
Prayer Partners’ Update
The most pressing need at present is for God to bring to
fruition the many wonderful promises that He has made
concerning the latter years of our ministry. His promises
range all the way from increased revelation to increased
finances to accomplish all that He has promised. Our move
to Colorado to build and establish a school of ministry,
new overseas mission fields and new, open doors of ministry
here in the States are but a few of His promises. Thanks,
friends!
Testimony Time
I received this (slightly edited and considerably
shortened) testimony after returning home from Branson.
“Our family was in Branson a few weeks ago
when Pam and Don came over to our table as we were eating
Pizza. They asked if we were Christian. We said yes. Pam
said she had a word from the Lord for me. It was simple.
She said, ‘Your years of oppression and sadness are
over. Does that mean anything to you?’ It did! We had
been married nineteen years and we were on our first real
family vacation. We recently joined a different church and
my husband felt accepted and respected as a leader, so
things at home reflected his happiness. We had been praying
a lot for that!
Pam invited us to the [United Ministers’
Fellowship] meeting you were holding there in Branson.
Friday night the pastor from Columbus, OH [Brian Adams]
gave his testimony. It was so powerful. When he prayed for
back pain he had us sit in the chairs. He asked, ‘Are
you ready to be taller?’ I said, ‘I really
am!’ I had been believing and confessing for my hip
and back to be healed. My right leg grew out 3 inches in
about 3 seconds! I was healed in my lower back. I sleep
better at night. My hip doesn’t hurt and I’m
now jogging five miles a week. Please tell this pastor
‘thank you’ for coming to Branson, and tell Pam
thanks for inviting us!!!
Then on Saturday we went back and a gentleman gave
us a word from the Lord. He told my husband [in part],
‘God is making you a father and a leader. He has a
wonderful future for you.’ Then another man said,
‘You’re at the right place in the heart of
God’. I told him that our church was Heart of God
Fellowship.” Dan & Anthe
