Pastor,
You gifted me some books and tapes of your sermons about 3 or
so years ago. Your obedience to God by being His messenger for so many years and allowing yourself to be His messenger has
"pricked and pierced my heart" with His word.
3 years ago during
this season, I pulled from a dying four square church where the pastor would tell everyone it was his way or the highway and
was led to a sleeping church of God church by the Lord. The pastor was on fire but wanting to retire within a couple years.
The Lord told me to wait for revival all along being told by God to wait upon him and prepare. Recently the pastor has been
rekindled and is on fire for the Lord. He even made a comment about it 3 weeks ago when we did what is called a Jericho march
around the building. We extracted the leprosy and gave the bricks are alive again.
When
I was not getting word from my leaders. I was able to rely on the word from the tapes and corresponding to Gods given word
then when I would match it up to the bible, it was Gods Given Word.
Yesterday, Today and Forever His word stands and remains true and steady. It "messed
me up". I never realized he was going to put me first through personal revival. To a point where He was preparing me
to be ready for the awakening of the sleeping church. I’m not saying in any way was I responsible for any awakening.
I am saying, your tapes, your message that was good yesteryears past is true today and allowed me to stay focused when there
was no one there to help me focus and get out of the elementary steps I was stuck in before and helped me prepare to touch
others by being spiritually prepared. At one point I walked into Victory AG off 121 and Carson in Haltom and the pastor pointed
at me walking through the door for service and he said "You don’t belong here. Go back where God has appointed
you to be" I obeyed.
Now,
I know that I know that I know that God has plans for all of us and He knew I was going to receive these tapes before you
taped them and I am thankful for your obedience and they continue to feed me when I am hungry for the word. I can close my
eyes and imagine God burning the word in you, then I imagine being at the revival and seeing the lost being found and the
blind seeing, the bones being called together back into flesh
Praise and Glory
be to God.
Thank you for
being a lively stone.
I noticed
your calendar has a meeting at your home this Thursday. Are there any upcoming events that are not listed?
I anticipate clarity when you say "this is going to mess you up" and "you
got to get a hold of this".
I
would love to hear one of your "hundred dollar sermons".
Take care and God bless, as He most certainly has.

In case you’re wondering
where we are connected. Kreig and I worked at the recycling place in Haltom together. He turned me onto your tapes and I have
been blessed since. Some of the tapes dated back to 1999 but are as real as yesterday. I guess that’s part of being
an evangelist and preaching the unchanging word of God. The word changed my walk with the Lord in two short years and turned
me from being a convenient Christian and also helped me lead my family into an honorable relationship with the Lord and making
me hunger for the word.
What the clincher for me is, on Saturday I was listening in my car and heard you talk about how we
don’t need to worry about fighting the devil, that’s gods job. Our job is to preach the word (that’s not
verbatim) but Sunday a brother at church made a comment that was almost verbatim to what you said on your tape around 6 years
ago or so. I wrote down what he said and rewound the tape and was blown away. He gets the message out and if someone doesn’t
want to be used, He uses someone else. So I was like, well sure he (you) has hundreds if not thousands of life long friends
all over the world who am I? And God kept telling me to contact you but I was refusing, then He said I have to be obedient
and I would not like the consequence if he had to send another.... I feel unworthy to tell you this and I’m not sure
if I was to call you, or drive over to your house and knock or what but
God is telling me he is pleased with the seeds you planted and the fields you watered
all these years and to let you know that sometimes pastors feel like they are not making a difference any longer and the phones
not ringing off the hook booking gigs but that you are still having an impact and its crossing and tearing down denominational
lines (he showed me an earthquake that revealed a wall underneath the ground representing religious walls that were put up
but he covered them) and that this is not the time to wind down but the time to refill your lamp stand and be "red faced"
and out of breath, jumping up and down, dancing in the aisles making a fool out of yourself for His Glory.
Thanks again!!!
If there is anything
or any way I can be of service for the Lords Glory, let me know.
Yours in Him.

Hello, Jim and Anita
One
thing am so sure about is you have no slight clue who on God's earth I am. But many years ago you made such great impact in
my life while you visited Uganda through your 'Take it by Force' series that I had to write a book and call it the same.
I have since completed school, joined full time ministry in London and a very successful
business in Uganda.
You are surely Loved over here.
Blessings.
