Dear Partners, In May of 1934, a group of North Carolina farmers and businessmen gathered in front of a barn to pray. One of them, a paper saleseman, was inspired to pray that God would raise up someone from Charlotte who would take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. W. Frank Graham was a part of this group. He was also the father of a young boy who spent his afternoons on the… read more →
Dear Partners, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus”. (Rom. 8:1 NIV) What does it mean to be “in Christ Jesus?” A good example can be had when we think about what it was like for Noah to be in the ark. The ark was waterproof. How do we know it was? Well, God told Noah, “put pitch on the inside and on the outside” (Genesis 6:14). The word… read more →
Dear Partner, “This is what God says, …Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? …”When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end. ” (Isa. 43:18b-19, 2)… read more →
Dear Partner, When I received the text asking me to receive the offering, I was standing in my kitchen with my precious granddaughter Caroline. She was 6 at the time. “Caroline,” I said, “they want me to receive the offering for the service tonight at Kindle the Flame, the women’s conference at Rhema.” She immediately stopped what she was doing, looked at me and said, “Wait – did you say it was an… read more →
Dear Partner, …”Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? …No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.” (Rom. 8:35-37 NLT) During difficult times, we must remember that knowing Jesus means knowing victory belongs to us. No matter the storm, we… read more →
Dear Partners, Think of it, friends… we are living today in the middle of answered prayer and the prophetic, inspired Word of God! Words spoken by God and declared by faith cause the power of God to restore, repair and revive! In the fall of 2008, we were hosting a conference in Paris, France, with Pastor Kenneth and Lynette Hagin. Shekinah Glory was ministering one night, and Pastor Ken joined with us to pray for… read more →
Dear Partners, “…Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? (Rom. 10:13-15a) “Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior?” I asked this of… read more →
Dear Partners, “Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love …No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.” (Rom. 8:37) The TV Tower is Berlin’s most prominent landmark and the tallest building in Germany. Constructed as a sign of technical superiority, it was built right in the middle of the city. Its steel sphere contains a visitor platform and a revolving restaurant. An extremely popular site for tourists and… read more →
Dear Partners, “…People are always asking, ‘What is God doing today?’, as if God is going to do something new every day. One of the main things God is doing today is emphasizing the local Church. But that’s not new. I’ll tell you exactly what God wants to do in the Body of Christ today. Number one, He wants to build strong local churches. Number two, He wants members of local churches to learn to… read more →
Dear Partner, For three days, the 12-year old boy had been on the street corner where his mother told him to wait. She never came back. The turning point came when a Christian man on his way to work stopped and ask him if he was okay. “I’m hungry and I don’t know where my mother is”, he replied. After giving him something to eat, he borrowed money so he could send the boy to… read more →
