Introduction

'He gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.'
Holy Bible, Lk. 9:1-2 NIV

Dare to Believe That's for You today!

Power to preach, drive out all demons, and heal the sick. If that interests you, you'll enjoy this issue.

It comes as a shock when God opens your eyes to what He's given believers. In addition to perfect salvation we have the honour and responsibilty to get His message to the ends of the earth.

Since God is Almighty... how can you limit God? According to your faith, you restrict what He can accomplish through and for you.

Deliverance ministry goes hand in hand with proclaiming the Gospel. Wherever Jesus is working, demons will soon show up, so it is vital to understand the basics of evil spirits, and how to deal with them.

According To Your Faith

God came from Heaven in the Flesh and paid the price for everyone's full redemption. The condition He set is that we repent and believe in: The LORD Jesus Christ, who taught that nothing is impossible for a believer in Him.

He always put the responsibility for believing upon you.

According to your faith: you can move mountains, or limit God. Which will it be?

Christian View of Halloween

Editor's Perspective

The I(raq) of the Storm

They're worse than Kubrick's monsters (the lunatic US leaders in 'Dr. Strangelove'): and real.

Hearing warmongers such as; Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Weinberger, and Zbigniew Brzezinski you have to pinch yourself. Take for example ZB bragging in his autobiography that he persuaded Carter to finance the jihadis to destabilize the Middle East, and rattle the Soviet's birdcage. When it is pointed out to Brzezinski that he therefore bears direct responsibility for creating al-Qaeda and their infamous attacks on the WTC, the 'great man' becomes non-plussed and angry. These grotesques are so far from reality; they believe their own propaganda. No wonder Stanley emigrated to Hertfordshire.

Their brainwashing media barrage insists that the rapidly escalating chaos in Iraq is mainly due to 'foreign insurgents', implying that Iraqis adore having 130,000 homicidal US psychos invade their nation. The truth is that of the estimated 30,000 insurgents nationwide; less than 10% are foreigners, and in central Iraq only 1%. Most are around Basra, from Iran, and nothing to do with al-Queda. Iraqis want US and UK invaders out now.

We were served wall to wall coverage of hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans, but rarely touching the fact that it was widely expected and specifically forecast as recently as six months ago. The sluggish cack-handed response comes as no surprise either. America is still profoundly racist, and the Black Southern states regarded as expendable 'servants quarters'. Even whilst grieving survivors were gathering in the sports arena for cover, army recruiters were pressing them to signup for the Iraq killing field.

You can see why young Blacks want to blow up the Whitehouse can't you?

A gentle Black preacher was challenged,

"If our country can use violence to get its demands, why can't we?"

The Preacher commented,

"Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent."

He restrained the youths from hot-headed retaliation, and denounced Uncle Sam for its rapacious State terrorism. For doing so he was shot dead in public.

You may recall his name: Dr. Martin Luther King. (Speaking about Vietnam in 1967.)

Christian History Movie DVDs

New! John Hus and John Wycliffe: What a debt we owe to Hus and Wycliffe. John Hus was betrayed and burned alive for daring to denounce Catholicism. He proclaimed the same truths Reformers like Martin Luther discovered a century later. The Wycliffe DVD was voted Best Christian Film of the Year. Politically correct Hollywood dare not tell their stories, but this independent Christian film company has done an excellent job. These quality Christian DVDs make a splendid teaching tool for study groups and evangelism. Many have several language tracks on them so you can reach Spanish, German, and Portuguese speakers.

Subscriber's Question and Answer

Do Christians believe in Ghosts?

Not in the way the world does.

Christians believe in One Ghost: The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of God.

Ghosts are spirits, invisible created beings made by God who is Spirit, and became Flesh in The LORD Jesus Christ. He sacrificed for our sins once and for all, ascended back to Heaven, then poured out the promised Holy Ghost at Pentecost upon waiting believers.

They became filled with the Holy Ghost, and this supernatural anointing enabled them to become powerful witnesses of Christ's resurrection. The same infilling is available today for every born again believer to receive. It is essential to be an effective Christian. Some fall into temptation and backslide simply because they lack this power to overcome and exhibit Christ's victorious life.

Christians acknowledge as true what the Bible says, that there are many other spirits, angels, archangels, demons, etc. Christians believe they exist because God says they do. But they put their trust in the Holy Ghost, not in angels, and certainly not demons.

Much of the world believes in ghosts, from the sophisticated African and Asian concepts elaborated by religions since The Fall, to the crude caricatures of western literature, tourist traps, and folklore. These ghosts are all demons and evil spirits under the authority of Satan. Many are pure religious invention used to control people through fear. However, demons certainly exist, but their manifestations are much more mundane than fire-breathing dragon, and headless man imagery.

Spirit-filled Christians have complete authority over Satan and demons through faith in Christ. There's more about demons here.

Colourful Bibles: For people who enjoy being DifFerent

When I was in shortpants there was only one colour for Bible covers, and it wasn't yellow. So what a relief to see our favourite Book is now available in many colours and styles. Same KJV, NIV text but not boring brown or black.




Heavy Metal, Kerranngg! (did he say, 'Metal Bible?') A suede duo-tone or blue denim Bible makes a great attention-grabbing gimmick when street witnessing to youths.

Fashion concious women can colour co-ordinate their outfits with their Bibles.

Power Evangelism Tip

Earthquakes, Famines, Floods, Disasters, and Wars

There's no shortage of openings for evangelism in these final days. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled in every news broadcast.

Ariel Sharon persuading Israel to leave Gaza, abandoning Jewish land and settlements to the Philistines. Ask sinners why they think Israel is the focus of so much tension, what is so special about Jerusalem, and what is it leading to? Point out that the armies of the North are already gathering around Jerusalem. Why? The answer is in God's Word. Show them the only way to have peace and confidence in these turbulent times.

Wars and rumours of wars fill the media, usually instigated by your leaders, and always exploited by them for economic and political gain. Whipping up paranoia and making enemies is an essential aspect of the AntiChrist spirit's strategy. God's Word tells us that he honours the god of fortresses (Daniel 11:36-39 'god of forces', KJV).

Contrast this with the effect of worshipping Almighty God who commands us to love our bitter enemies. Who came Himself, and set the example of laying down His sinless life for those who hate Him.

Don't try and tell me George Bush and Tony Blair are Christians. Christians tell the truth: not lies. Christians love their enemies: they don't kill them. Christians lay their lives down, and take up a cross: not a gun. Christians honour God's Word: not disgrace it. Christians follow Christ: not Satan.

Global warming, extreme weather, and the depletion of natural resources are fulfillment of Bible prophecy. God has repeatedly warned that the earth will be worn out like an old garment by the time of His return.

Use these signs and news items to get sinners ready for the Second Coming of Christ.

People are afraid, give them the Good News and the reason for your peace, joy, and certain hope.
