A Life Changing Message

This message from Bob Gladstone was recently preached at FIRE Church and it is probably the most intense and transforming message I have ever heard. That says a lot considering that I’ve heard messages from Paris Reidhead (Ten Shekels and a Shirt), Duncan Campbell (When God Stepped Down From Heaven), Leonard Ravenhill (The Judgment Seat of Christ) and many from A.W. Tozer, not to mention other favorites who I don’t have time to mention (Art Katz anyone?).

In fact, I was so heavily impacted that I felt to share it with you all. It served many purposes: confirmation of recent years and their purpose, recent dealings of God regarding my mouth and inner disposition toward folks, things I’ve been seeing in the Bible lately and many more. It was convicting and encouraging all at once.

I really love this guy. I have been attending a class that he’s been holding on Wednessday nights on Apostolic Church and it has also been amazing. Don’t get your defenses up because you saw the word “apostolic” because when this man uses that word it is nothing like you’ve heard from anyone….except maybe Art Katz, but Bob seems to have a deeper understanding and ability to communicate these things. What impresses me most is that a lot of what is taking place in me has part to do with what I hear and understand and part to do with something actually being given of God in the hearing of this word (and word”s”) that is somehow strengthening me. I leave knowing I’m stronger, somehow, more confident in God. Not cocky, but….I don’t know, just a sense of God as God seems to come alive in me when I listen to this dude. I gotta see if I can’t start beeing around him more and picking his brain.

Anyhow, just wanted you to share the benefit in your own spirit that has come to me through this man.
The Lord bless and keep you,

Relief For Myanmar

I have just really been greived to find out what the Myanmar military has done. It’s an outrage, but you can still help.

I know a man named David Servant who runs an orphanage in Myanmar. He also trains pastors all over the globe in third world countries, especially in Africa where the prosperity gospel has hijacked true revivals.
If you would like to see a financial gift count for something, give to this cause. His orphanages are truly founded on Christ alone and these people need help more than ever.
Here’s a link.
Help Myanmar.

Do what you can, “according to what one has”. You’ll reap eternal and priceless rewards for this.

Thanks,
mark jr.
