Introduction
'I tell you, now is the time of God's favour, now is the day of salvation.' Holy Bible, 2 Co. 6:2b NIV
Greetings! Especially to all new subscribers. (You got in at the final hour.)
Prepare to be changed, sanctified, and blessed, or simply unsubscribe yourself from the Salvation Newsletter. We only want people who are wholehearted for Christ, and pressing on to Glory in these final days before Jesus takes His spotless Bride home. For the hungry we've got basketfuls of Bread from Heaven.
Last year we brought you the wonderful news of another African Pastor raised from the dead, in full view of many witnesses. We invited subscribers to send in questions you would put to a modern day Lazarus. Here are the answers to the questions he is most often asked.
I love gutsy Christian women don't you? Especially when they are Asian women set free from the bondage of religion, like Pandita Ramabai. She was a brilliant Indian Hindu who discovered there was no hope for women in Hinduism, and found real liberation and life in Christ. She sparked a revival that inspired the Azusa Street Pentecostal outpouring. What has she got to say to you?
Jesus taught that every believer has a ministry to those behind bars. Here you'll find some powerful tools to use in your new prison ministry.
We answer an E-pistle Question from a pregnant woman considering an abortion, and share a Power Evangelism Tip on Holy Boldness. The Book of the Month is 'Jesus the Healer', by E.W. Kenyon.
Finally, as America continues its bloody rampage for world control, whilst wallowing in obscene self-pity over 9/11, we comment on the other anniversary. It's a year since the Unmasking of a Beast.

E-pistles
Subscriber's Question and Answer
'I'm single and have been born again for two years. I got into a sexual relationship, and now I'm pregnant. I thought about getting rid of it. I know God will forgive me, but my main problem is the judgement of people who look up to me. I am no longer going out with the guy as I couldn't keep on sinning. What do you suggest?'
Answer: Thank you for your question, that took courage.
Your LORD and Saviour warns us all:
'The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.' Holy Bible John 10:10 KJV
First, just get right with God, confess ALL your sin to Him, ask His forgiveness, and *turn away from it*. Once you've done that, be assured of God's complete forgiveness. And declare it loudly!
This article will help you: Forgiveness
Secondly, realise that every thought you've had of killing your baby is directly from Hell. God is knitting your child together in your womb right now, and to kill your child is to rebel against the One you call LORD, and to submit to Satan. You won't do that will you?
Satan is a liar, he encourages you to add murder to fornication, in order to salvage your pride. Pride is more important than life to the devil. With God, life is more important than pride.
But because you are NOT going to kill your baby, you listen to the still small Voice of the Holy Spirit saying; "She's beautiful, I'm giving her your eyes, your complexion, and we will raise her together. Don't worry about your relatives, and the scorn, I'll lead you over those hurdles as they come. I'll provide all you need. Trust in ME."
Remember how David fell into sin, committed adultery, got a married woman pregnant, and arranged for the murder of her husband to hide his own shame? It didn't work ... EVERYONE found out about David's one-night-stand, didn't they? Here we are talking about it more than 2,000 years later. Shame on King David!
So come clean with those who respect you. How could you look them in the eye knowing you killed a baby? Instead, have the child, raise her with God's help, love and cherish her with God's love. If you try to cover your sin with more sin, how can God bless you?
I know many women who have had abortions, and *ALL of them regret it bitterly until the day they die*. I also know many unmarried mothers who've come to Christ, and they are accepted in the beloved, they walk with self-respect and dignity, loving their children, knowing that Jesus was scorned for righteousness sake, yet bore it with grace. How much more ought we to bare scorn due because of our own folly?
But the Saints won't give you a hard time Sister. None of us is without sin compared to God's standard.
So, chin up, determine to make the best of it, and NEVER give any place to the thief, the liar, and the Killer.
You have Life in your spirit, from God. And the life in your womb is also from God. Cherish it, honour Him, and He WILL, make YOUR path straight.
Promise God now, that you'll not kill this beautiful child.
Then I'll put you in touch with people who can help you practically.

Power Evangelism Tip
The Righteous are as Bold as a Lion
Innocent as doves: bold as lions. The kingdom of God is advancing in the hands of forceful believers. Not the force of flesh, and weapons that kill, but Heaven endorsing God's children who dare to confront the powers of darkness in Christ's Name. Their only weapon is God's Word, and it brings life.
I heard a Kiwi evangelist called Kevin Mudford give his testimony in 1988. Before he was saved, he was practically out of his mind, either in a strait-jacket, jail, or a mental hospital. In his cell Kevin called out to God, 'I wanna know what love is!' And God showed him Jesus; Kevin was born again, released sound in mind, and on fire for Christ. A new creation, bold as his Lord.
He immediately went into the toughest New Zealand saloons to challenge the Maori equivalent of 'Hell's Angels'. They are called the 'Mongrel Mob', and they eat little white blokes like Kevin for breakfast. But he'd go up to the bar, poke them in the chest and issue this challenge, 'I dare you to listen to what I have to say!
Every head would turn; he had a congregation. Then he'd tell what Jesus has done for us, and the fire always fell upon the listeners. Often he'd be the only one left standing, those tough guys were kneeling, weeping, pouring out their hearts to Christ asking for mercy.
You can do that too, when you accept your righteousness in Christ, and declare it boldly as the Lion of Judah wants you to. Only the righteous can do this, and there's only one way to get it.
How to Become Perfectly Righteous.
