ENCOURAGEMENT - a DYING ART??

2012-01-20T09:16:00.000+08:00

by Rodney Francis As we enter our 12th year of "Barnabas Bulletin", I would like to focus on the purpose as to why this BB Ministry was started. It came as a result of my ministering in Asia amongst a group of discouraged ministers and missionaries from eight different countries. That experience gave me a burden for Christian Leaders, as I have observed over the years how many get discouraged in

Food crisis looming in Malaysia

2012-01-17T09:28:00.000+08:00

Patrick Lee (Malaysia Today) Malaysia's heavy reliance on food imports will see many of its citizens starve when the global economy goes bust, a food expert warned. PETALING JAYA: Millions of Malaysians will starve when the global economy crumbles, a food expert warned. Former Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) professor Mohd Peter Davis said that imported food – something Malaysia is heavily

Are You a Disciple? … or Just Part of the Crowd?

2012-01-05T08:53:00.000+08:00

by J Lee Grady In 2012, Jesus is calling us to re-enroll in the school of discipleship. Besides being the Year of the Dragon in China, 2012 is full of global observances. World Peace Day was Jan. 1, World Rabies Day is Sept. 22 and the World Day for Laboratory Animals (huh?) is April 24. There is also Global Hand-washing Day (Oct. 15), Star Wars Day (May 4), International Cat Day (March 1),

LEAVING AND FORGETTING

2012-01-05T08:19:00.000+08:00

by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] The Holy Spirit's message to the bride of Christ in Psalm 45 was: "Forget your own people also, and your father's house" (v. 10). The still, small voice was whispering, “It's not enough just to leave your past behind. You must also forget it all - put it out of your mind - all past loves and distractions!" The messenger here is saying to the

The Next Move of God

2012-01-03T09:36:00.000+08:00

by Nicki Pfeifer One of the biggest dangers Christians face is thinking inside the proverbial religious box. When we talk about “a great move of God” or “revival” we often contextualize it inside a church building. We get visions of people coming to a facility, worshipping God, hearing a fiery evangelist and flooding the altar for prayer. Even when we take it “to the streets” it still

A Word for the Weary: God Will Finish What He Started!

The devil is busy trying to abort God’s promises. Hang on and keep believing. Here’s a trivia question: Which building project took the longest to complete?· A. The construction of the Pentagon. B. The carving of Mount Rushmore. C. The digging of the Panama Canal. D. The building of the Empire State Building. E. The carving and assembling of the Statue of Liberty. The answer is C. It took

A Message to His Holy Highness the Worshipful Bishop Rev. Dr. Apostle Grand Poobah

2012-01-03T09:03:00.000+08:00

Jesus just wasn’t into titles. We shouldn’t be either. I am often asked if I have a title, and my answer doesn’t satisfy some people. I travel a lot, so I don’t consider myself a pastor. All kinds of labels have been pinned on me: Reverend, prophet, apostle … even bishop. Once I was introduced to a church as “Dr. Grady” and I almost crawled under my seat. I only have a college degree. There

A Word for 2012: New Leadership, New Boldness and New Provision

2012-01-03T08:48:00.000+08:00

J. Lee Grady As I have prayed about the coming year, I’ve sensed three clear directives. Some people are terrified of 2012. They worry because the Mayans of ancient Mexico mysteriously ended their 5,126-year-old calendar on Dec. 21, 2012—as if they expected the world to end that day. This silly hypothesis became the basis for several New Age books and a goofy disaster movie, 2012, in

THE MINISTRY OF CONSOLATION

2011-12-28T08:19:00.000+08:00

by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] The apostle Paul said, “[The Lord] comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (2 Corinthians 1:4). One of the neediest ministries in the church of Jesus Christ today is that of consolation—comforting others in their trouble and

POWER BELONGS

2011-12-23T08:22:00.000+08:00

by Gary Wilkerson “Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave them power” (Luke 9:1). Jesus gave his disciples power not because they were ambitious but because they were his. Belonging to Christ is a non-negotiable to receiving his power. Power is birthed out of belonging. Belonging brings real power. So many Christians lead powerless lives—having habitual sin practices, a poor

A Cup of Trembling

2011-12-16T09:19:00.000+08:00

This is the word of the Lord concerning Israel. The Lord, Who stretches out the Heavens Who lays the foundations of the Earth, and Who forms the spirit of man within him declares, “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her I will make

Trials and Pain: The Back Side of the Desert

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. - Exodus 3:1 We should quickly review here the kinds of preparation Moses had gone through for his leadership role under God. Reared in Pharaoh's palace, he had been educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He had the

Noblesse Oblige

2011-12-16T08:45:00.000+08:00

Noblesse oblige is a French phrase literally meaning "nobility obliges". The Dictionnaire de l’Académie française defines it thus: Whoever claims to be noble must conduct himself nobly. (Figuratively) One must act in a fashion that conforms to one's position, and with the reputation that one has earned. Noblesse oblige" is generally used to imply that with wealth, power and prestige come

PRAYING SUCH AS THE WORLD HAS NEVER KNOWN!

2011-12-13T08:41:00.000+08:00

by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] A missionary spoke to our church of great awakenings around the world. In every case, the "spirit of prayer" is tied to the last harvest. In Vietnam, China, Siberia, the Amazon, Africa, and numerous other places, God's people are praying with fire and fervency—weeping and crying out to God, seeking His face, dealing with sin and turning to

PROPHECY - DECEMBER 1, 2011

by Maurice Sklar “The LORD says: The American dollar is about to lose 30% more of its’ present value. This will be the second drop since the previous 2008 drop of 20%. The dollar will then be worth half of what it was before September 2008. This drop will cause great economic distress upon our nation. The church will be shaken and many will wake up spiritually and cry out to ME. There

"ICONOCLASTS" - An Insightful Word

2011-12-09T09:01:00.000+08:00

-extracts by Robert I Holmes. "Where, O where is the prophet? Where are the incandescent ones fresh from the holy place? Where is Moses to plead in fasting before the holiness of the Lord?... the one with a terrible earnestness, the one totally otherworldly." - Leonard Ravenhill. Ravenhill's words are reminiscent of a podcast I was listening to on my way to Sydney... It was a communication

THE SPIRIT OF GRACE

2011-12-09T08:48:00.000+08:00

by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] The Bible says the Holy Ghost will be poured out as “. . . the Spirit of grace and supplication” (Zechariah 12:10). The book of Titus tells us that grace is given to us as power over sin, to enable us to live sober, holy lives: “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly

FCCI A pilot flying an approach in clouds is faced with the “decision altitude”, where he must make the decision whether to continue the approach to a landing or break off the approach and go to another airport. In order to continue the approach he must visually see the runway. If he does not see the runway when he is at the decision altitude, he must break off the approach. The decision altitude

DARKNESS CANNOT STOP THE LIGHT!

by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] When I first began this ministry I spoke in churches all over America, warning of the moral landslide to come. I told people in Iowa, Oklahoma and all the Southern states that drugs would strike even the smallest hamlet. Pushers would appear in schools and on playgrounds. I warned of blatant homosexuality, with nude parades taking place in our

BIRTH OF THE LAST-DAYS REMNANT by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] The prophet Samuel is a type of the last-days holy remnant—a prepared body of believers that rises out of the ruins of the old, decadent church. Hannah, Samuel’s mother, birthed her son through bitter tears and much prayer. “And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish” (1 Samuel 1

GOD’S POWERFUL ARMY

2011-11-25T08:10:00.000+08:00

by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] Something very powerful and awesome is going on in the world today—something beyond human comprehension—something that will affect the whole world in these last days. God is preparing a small but powerful army of Christians, the most dedicated army on the face of the earth. The Lord will come forth to command them to do exploits; He is going to

Bankrupt church wants donations for pastor’s sick wife ferried in limo

By Zachary Roth The Lookout – Fri, Nov 4, 2011 Some members of a bankrupt Orange County, Calif. megachurch are expressing outrage after fielding an email request for congregants to deliver food to waiting limos so that it can ferried to the founder's sick wife. The appeal comes weeks after a lawsuit charged that the founder of the Crystal Cathedral house of worship, Rev. Robert Schuller,

It’s (Past) Time for a Charismatic Reformation

2011-10-28T22:50:00.000+08:00

In honor of Reformation Day, here are some complaints I’m nailing on the Wittenberg door. Long before there was an Occupy Wall Street, Martin Luther staged the most important protest in history. He was upset because Roman Catholic officials were promising people forgiveness or early escape from purgatory in exchange for money. So on October 31, 1517, Luther nailed a long list of complaints

CARELESS WORDS

2011-10-28T22:45:00.000+08:00

by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:36-37). We seem to think our words simply fall to the ground and die, or vanish into thin air and dissolve into nothingness. Not so! Our words

DRY BONES CAN LIVE!

2011-10-24T23:57:00.000+08:00

by David Wilkerson Ezekiel 37 is all about God’s desire for us to lay hold of the promises of His new covenant—learning how to truly live by entering into the blessing of the covenant. We have all heard the story of the “dry bones” that Ezekiel speaks of. It is important to note that these vessels lying lifeless on the ground were under the covenant. You see, the Lord had told them, “O dry
