WE MUST HAVE YOUR HELP!

I can’t remember the last time when I have devoted a page in The Evangelist Magazine to specifi- cally ask for your financial help, but I must do so this month. Last month, in my letter to our Partners, I related the financial burden the Ministry is facing. I told you that the Ministry had to raise one million dollars or we face the possibility of losing the Telecast in your area, as it regards the Network you watch. I want to thank those who have responded. You don’t know how important your offering is. How- ever, we are not out of the woods yet. We must take care of the deficit and it must be done right now. This Ministry is of the Lord. What we preach and teach is the Truth and you know it. What we are endeavoring to do, as it regards World Evangelism, is the Lord’s and when something is of the Lord, you can expect Satan to fight. Could I ask you once more for your help? If the need was not critical, I wouldn’t ask. Your best gift right now will help more than you can know. Actually, if you could call and place your best gift on a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express) it would be greatly appreciated. The number to call is 1-800-288-8350; Baton Rouge residents please call (225) 768-7000. Or, go online to www.jsm.org and click “Online Giving” to make a donation.

In the Master’s Service, yours,

“The Cross of Christ defeated the powers of particular Church. It was an offering that he needed very, very much. As he closed this Epistle, this is what darkness, and in every capacity. This is what is T he said: ‘well-pleasing to God.’” “But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a Sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God” A MOST IMPORTANT NOTE TO YOU (Phil. 4:18). This Passage of Scripture tells us many things. Beauti- I personally believe that the Message the Lord has fully enough, the Holy Spirit through Paul used an Old given us to give to the church and the world, THE MES- Testament example. You can find it in the first seven SAGE OF THE CROSS, is, in fact, what the Holy Spirit is Chapters of Leviticus. Concerning the sacrifices, the Holy saying to the modern church. If, in fact, that is correct, Spirit through Moses said, “It is an Offering made by fire, and I know in my heart that it is, then what we are at- of a sweet savour unto the LORD” (Lev. 1:9, 13, 17; 2:9; 3:5, tempting to do for the Lord, in fact, what He has called 16; 4:31). us to do, will have eternal consequences. The terminology, “an odour of a sweet smell, a Sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God,” presents a picture of the I CANNOT DO IT WITHOUT YOU Cross of Christ as the Lord sees it. How in the world could the burning of the carcass of an animal on the Altar be Even though the Lord has Called me for this task, even a “sweet smell”? though He has given me the Message, and even though It was sweet in the Nostrils of God, simply because it He has anointed me to deliver that Message, for which we spoke of His Son and our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, will ever be grateful, still, I cannot do this thing without Who would give Himself on the Cross in order that man you. I think the Lord has made it very clear to me, that might be redeemed. The Cross of Christ defeated the you are an integral part of this Message, and that it be powers of darkness, and in every capacity. This is what given to the world. is “well-pleasing to God.” Why the Lord chose you to be in the flow of this Mes- sage, that I cannot answer. But I want you to know and WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYING TO US understand that He has called you for a special purpose. THROUGH THIS PASSAGE? You did not come in contact with this Message by acci- dent. It was all planned by the Lord. And now, I implore He is saying that when we give of our means, as you, to do everything within your power, to justify the did the Philippians, to help Paul take this Message of choice the Lord has made. the Cross to a hurting, dying world, in essence, in some way known only to God, we literally become a part of “A SACRIFICE ACCEPTABLE, WELL-PLEASING the Sacrifice of Christ. That is the way the Holy Spirit TO GOD” described the offering of the Philippians, of which we should take careful note. Paul was in prison in Rome when he wrote his Epistle That means that unless our resources are used for to the Philippians. Epaphroditus had come to Rome the Message of the Cross, they really aren’t doing what from Philippi, a distance of some 800 miles or more, and had brought Paul a very generous offering from that Continued on page 4

We’re doing it first of all because the Lord has told “As well, the Lord has given us, I believe, us to do this. I want the Message and the Spirit to be identical in all the programming. I do not want any some of the finest Preachers and Teachers of A conflicting spirits, and I believe you understand what I the Gospel in the world today, for which we give mean.

should be done. A dear Brother wrote me the other day asking, “Brother Swaggart, how does the Cross of Christ play into our giving?” I think it is obvious from these Passages that the Message of the Cross and our giving should be locked together.

GOD’S TIMING

As someone has said, and rightly so, “God’s Timing is just as important as His Promise.” God’s Timing seemed to be very bad when He brought the Children of Israel to the banks of the Jordan as they were about to enter the Promised Land. Jordan is nor- mally just a few feet wide; however, due to the fact that this particular time was the rainy season, scholars tell us that the Jordan at this time was over a mile wide and approximately forty feet deep. (Due to modern irrigation, the Jordan does not now flood.) But, the Lord knew exactly what He was doing. He wanted to show His People that He was equal to the task, As well, the Lord has given us, I believe, some of the whatever that task might be. finest Preachers and Teachers of the Gospel in the world He had Israel to go through the wilderness in order today, for which we give Him all the Glory. They have to prove to them that He could meet their needs even in come up in this Ministry, and share my burden 100%. this howling wasteland. To be sure, it was His Will that And, of course, all of you know Donnie and Gabriel, who they remain in the wilderness for about two years, not preach this Message as good as, or better than, I do. forty. That was because of their unbelief. The timing of the Lord, as it regards the SONLIFE I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING BROADCASTING NETWORK, is His Way, and He always knows best. • If the Message of the Cross is, in fact, what the The nation is in the midst of the worst recession since Holy Spirit is saying to the Church; the Great Depression of the 1930’s.

construction. If men accept God’s Word, it will give life. If they reject it, it will bring condemnation.

WORLDLY STANDARDS ARE NOT GOD’S STANDARDS

I know a little bit of what it is like when a Minister is given a message from God that he knows will upset a lot of people. I have watched my husband agonize over a message. Through many sleepless nights, a message would weigh heavy on his heart, giving him no rest until the message was delivered. And, many times even after it was preached, the enemy tried to attack with troubling thoughts such as, “I could have said it better,” or “maybe I didn’t deliver it as well as I should have,” or “God, did you really tell me to preach this?” You see, it is never easy to be used of God because the actual execution of God’s Will in our lives rarely meets the expectations of the world. Worldly standards are not God’s Stan- dards, and so worldly people are often left perplexed and frustrated with our actions. The message God gives Cross a stumblingblock to the Jews [Mat. 16:21; I Cor. us may not be received, and we may not be accepted on 1:23; Gal. 5:11].)” Then Verse 66 tells us that, “From that a personal basis either. One only has to read Jeremiah time many of His Disciples went back, and walked no more 20:8-9, which states: “For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried with Him.” The Cross is an offense to the entirety violence and spoil; because the Word of the LORD was made of the world, and regrettably even most of the a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.

And the Preacher that preaches the message of a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with Christ and Him Crucified is not always accepted. forbearing, and I could not stay.

actually following the all-inclusive “broad road,” and as a result, they have found themselves affirming anyone and everyone’s unbiblical beliefs. Once again, this is a powerless gospel. Men will not be saved, repent, or reconciled back to God through it. In an article, I came across this excerpt written by A.W. Tozer. It goes along perfectly with what we have just discussed.

A.W. TOZER – THE NEW CROSS

“Unannounced and mostly undetected there has come in modern times a new cross into popular evan- gelical circles. It is like the old cross, but different: the likenesses are superficial; the differences, fundamental. From this new cross has sprung a new philosophy of the Christian life, and from that new philosophy has come a new kind of preaching. This new evangelism employs the same language But when this poor beggar attempted to reach out and as the old, but its content is not the same and its emphasis receive alms from Peter and John, something totally new not as before. The old cross would have no truck with the happened! Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none; but world.

The new cross does therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted not slay the sinner, it redirects him. It gears him into a out. . . .” And then in Verse 26 he tells them: “Unto you cleaner and jollier way of living and saves his self-respect. . . . first God, having raised up His Son Jesus, sent Him to bless It is false because it is blind.

They never mention that the root cause the ways of God and the ways of men is false to the Bible and for all the ills of society is sin. They reject the real cure cruel to the souls of its hearers.

They were best sellers and blessed an awful lot of people, all because of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. And when Gabriel brought in the masters and had me listen to them once again, which I had not done so in many, many years, the anointing was still there. Understanding that Recording techniques were a lot different then than now, still, I believe that you will enjoy these songs immensely, and at the same time, it will bring back a lot of very pleasant memories.

16 August, 2010 The Evangelist The Fields Are White For Harvest – Soroti Crusade

from April 21-25, 2010, in a city called Soroti. The Soroti District located in the northeastern part of Uganda, is home to over half a million people and while it is a beautiful agricultural area, it is one of the most economically impoverished districts in the nation. Most people live in rural outlying villages with no running water or power. Most are not educated past the primary grades, and the majority has little or no access to medical treatment, which unfortunately, heightens their susceptibility to the local witch doctors. The witch doctors are still held in high regard by most villagers and even those who do not adhere to their pagan practices, still live in fear of their dark powers. Many children are afflicted with deafness and blindness due to prolonged exposure to raging fevers. In desperation, many parents have sought the assistance of the witch doctors only to bring more darkness and bondage into their homes and communities. It was against this bleak backdrop that the Soroti Crusade witnessed a Moving of God’s Holy Spirit in an unprecedented way with tens of thousands of people accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior for the first time ever! The miraculous Power of God was on full display as many notable miracles took place. Not too long ago, while attending Services at Family Worship Center, a Word of Prophecy came forth, in which the Spirit of God said, “Read the Book of Acts and get ready,” well, truly this Prophecy has begun to come to pass! What I have been privileged to witness taking place in these Crusades is nothing short of the Book of Acts on display in our time. The crowd erupted in thunderous praise over and over again as several individuals, well-known among them to be “mad,” (the term they use for the possessed and mentally ill), came upon the platform clothed and in their right minds, giving praise to Jesus! Some were still holding the ropes that their loved ones had bound them with in order to get them to the Crusade. It was reported to us that an estimated crowd of over 200,000 people gathered for the final Sunday Service. I was reminded of the Biblical account of Zacheus, who climbed up in a tree to get a better view of Jesus, as many children and young adults climbed up into the trees that surrounded the Crusade grounds just to get a better view of the Services. So many miracles took place that the space in this article 16 year old Helen – Top: Tormented by the powers of will not permit me to tell them all. I will share, however, darkness.

Why should you desire to attend one of these Campmeetings? There are several reasons:

1. The Spirit of God is present and doing great things. That within itself is extremely important, as should be obvious. 2. The Word of God is preached without fear, favor, or compromise. Please read these words very carefully. This is the age of the apostasy of the Church. Consequently, there is much error in the Church and the situation will not get better, but instead will get worse. You need to hear the Messages preached in the Campmeetings and to be a part of what God is doing. 3. All Campmeeting services are aired over worldwide Television and Radio; consequently, your presence is needed concerning this all-important effort, and I think the reasons should be obvious.

However, prepare to be changed by the Power of God and the Grace of God! The Cross of Christ is your answer!

“The Spirit Of The Lord Is Upon Me”

This statement gives us a clear definition of the Trinity. The control the Holy Spirit desires is not automatic. The “Holy Spirit” is spoken of, with the Name “Lord,” His Control can only happen as we yield ourselves to Him referring to God the Father, and with the pronoun “Me” everyday. He doesn’t force His Will as He is not a dictator referring to Jesus Christ as the One Anointed. lording over us, but He is the Dove, gentle and meek, desiring of us to want His Help. “Because He Has Anointed Me”

“Led By The Spirit” This anointing was a Spiritual Anointing, and not a physical anointing as was common in the Old Testament. The latter part of Verse 1 says, “Was led by the It refers to a Special Appointment or Commission by God Spirit into the wilderness.” Wuest translates it this way: that sets a person apart. The word “anointed” means to “Continually being led.” In John 16:13 Jesus, speaking smear or rub with oil, i.e. (by implication) to “consecrate” of the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives, said, “He will to an Office or religious Service. guide you into all Truth.” This life we live is one of many It is important to note that the Anointing of the pitfalls, snares of Satan, journeys through the Valley of Holy Spirit belongs to Christ and not man.

The Evangelist August, 2010 29 I am urging each of you to avail yourself of the opportunity of getting these four books. If you already have one or more of them, this would be an excellent time to get copies for friends. The three books: “Brother Swaggart, Here Is My Question . . .”; “Brother Swaggart, How Can I Understand The Bible?”; and, “Brother Swaggart, Here Is My Question About The Cross” will give you, we think, an understanding of the Cross of Christ as you’ve not previously had. As well, our brand-new Commentary on I & II SAMUEL is, I think, one of the best the Lord has helped me to write. In fact, the message for our main article in this Issue of The Evangelist Magazine is taken directly from this Commentary. Considering the excellent price we are giving for all four books, I would pray that you would take advantage of this most excellent offer.
