TRANSITION TIME
Ben Peters
Sep 13, 2008


www.ohmint.org

Dear Friends,

It truly is a time of transition for all of us in the Kingdom of God and in the USA and Canada and the world. And it is also decision time. Our decisions determine our transitions.

REVIVAL

The Florida revival had many critics and was far from perfect. The enemy was able to get in and bring it down. But real world-wide revival was birthed through it and many of us were touched powerfully and know that it was real and it was God. Our decision is whether to let it die or resurrect it and perfect it.

This Thursday, Friday and Saturday we will be inviting the presence of God and the Spirit of Revival to our meetings in Elgin. We expect a visitation of humility, hunger, healing and hearing God's voice. We expect people to fall in love with Jesus and to be delivered from bondages and to become sold-out servants of the King of Kings. The meetings are at The Eagles Nest - 270 East Chicago Street, Elgin, IL. 60120. Vance Murphy will be with us on Friday and Saturday evening. There is more info on our website itinerary. Just click on the event for details.

The following week we will be there again, expecting more miracles and more of God.

POLITICAL TRANSITION

I am copying a statement by Dutch Sheets which corrects some errors in a previous letter I copied in my newsletter. Before I do, I'd like to say that we all have to make decisions that will influence our transition. We know we will have a new president. Who it will be is still up in the air. If we elect a pro-life team, our transition will be into a time of mercy and blessing on America. If we choose a pro-death team, we will be transitioning into a time of more darkness and trouble.

I do have some private prophetic information from Bob Jones (through a friend) which I am not free to share. But believe me, it is more important than you can imagine. Please take this election more seriously than any before. It is in our hands and we all can influence others if we get informed.

Our chances are looking much better, but we are not there yet. We must decide to do everything we can, especially to pray and petition God to show mercy and turn hearts towards Him. Also, every Christian should be registered to vote. In many states you need to be registered well before the election. Please do it now if you are not yet registered.

If you live in a swing state you have a great opportunity and responsibility before God to swing the vote towards life and government reform. These states could include Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New Jersey and others. Some were solid for death, but now are very close. They need another big push towards life.

Please make a decsion that will truly reflect your transition into a more blessed future for us and the whole world. Let me stress that who we elect will determine whether we will be in harvest time or greater trouble. The whole world is depending on us to choose wisely.

Tomorrow we will be at Church of the Firstborn at 2 pm. 1938 W. 51st St., Chicago, IL. You are welcome to join us there.

God bless you all,

Ben, Brenda, family and team


CORRECTION CONCERNING DUCTCH SHEETS REVELATION

September 8, 2008
IMPORTANT CORRECTION FROM DUTCH SHEETS

There has been an email circulating with quotes from Pastor Dutch regarding Senator McCain and Governor Palin. This was NOT an email sent by Pastor Dutch. Someone took notes during a Sunday service and sent out this email. There are several inaccuracies within its content that warrant this statement.

The comment about Sarah Palin starting the prayer movement in Alaska is incorrect. She did not start the prayer movement, however, she is a woman of prayer. Pastor Dutch did not state that she is Pentecostal; the media has published that.

The comments regarding the vow made by Senator McCain while a POW are not correct. Pastor Dutch was told that someone sent Mr. McCain a letter that was prophetic in nature and asked if he had made promises to God while a POW. It was very personal in nature and his response was not disclosed.

Lastly, the statement about Sarah Palin being the 44th Vice President is wrong. If elected into office, Governor Palin would be in the 44th administration but would be the 47th vice president.

MORE THIS AND THAT
Ben Peters
Sep 2, 2008

Greetings Friends,

SEPTEMBER SCHEDULE

We had a great home meeting in Arlington Heights last Friday and will be doing a couple more private meetings in the next two weeks in different locations. The rest of the time I will be trying to finish the book that I'm working on. Since I began in July, by God's grace, I have written over 45,000 words. I'm probably about two-thirds complete.

Our next public service will be Sunday afternoon, September 14, at 2 pm at the Church of the Firstborn. The address is: 1938 W. 51st St. Chicago, IL.

After that we will do another private meeting on Monday and then we begin the Elgin Revival meetings on Thursday, September 18. We will have Vance Murphy from Atlanta on the first two nights and our youth team on Saturday. The host church is Eagles Nest on Chicago St. in Elgin. On that Saturday, Brenda and I will be ministering in Palatine, but our son, Timothy, and our team will bless you all.

The following week it will be mostly Brenda and me leading the revival from Sept. 21-23, each evening in Elgin. We trust that it will be just the beginning of an ongoing revival.

On Saturdays, our team will lead outreach ministries to evangelize the region. This could be a very exciting time for those with a passion to reach others with the love and power of Jesus.

On Sunday, September 28, we will be at Christ for all Nations Ministries in Northfield, IL. at 2 pm.

A LITTLE MORE POLITICS

The following is my personal view and not a ministry endorsement of a political candidate.

So much is happening so fast with all the hurricanes and conventions at the same time, but I'd like to share some private information. Liberals are trying to dig up all the dirt they can about Sarah Palin, but I heard some very encouraging news from our son, Ken.

Ken met a pastor from Alaska who was bragging about their Christian governor, before he knew she would be nominated as a vice presidential candidate. He was friends with the pastor of the church Sarah and her family attend. It is a church that believes in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It just happened that for the last two weeks Governor Palin had been spending two to three hours per day in the prayer room at the church where she could seek God alone. Obviously, she was praying about the decision she was facing, knowing her family would come under scrutiny, etc.

Sarah is the first Pentecostal/Charismatic ever on a ticket for President or Vice President. She has shown tenacity in fighting corruption and is just what Washington D.C. needs. We feel she is well prepared to be president if she had the opportunity, namely because she has learned to seek God's wisdom. We are quite excited.

On the other hand, we have a presidential candidate that is SO NOT pro-life that it is scary. If you want to know more, please check out the following clip. It may shock you but it is undeniably true.

I am not the slightest bit prejudiced. I would love to vote for a black person or Hispanic or Asian if they valued human life, but I think for this time I will have to vote for a white man and a white woman.

UPDATE ON ROLLAND BAKER

Contrary to what I was told by someone in Mozambique, Rolland did not have any mini-strokes. He was under a spiritual and psychological attack by the enemy, designed to take him out. But he is recovering steadily and I believe is being totally healed.

I had two visions in Mozambique regarding the Bakers and know that because they are opening the gates into the land of darkness, they have come under severe attacks which never let up. Those who have come to help them have suffered as well, but they bear the brunt of the most attacks. But I saw God flood the gates with light and the attackers had to back off. Then the armies of God poured through the gates they had opened and took the light into the darkness. They became gatekeepers, blessing those who passed through the gates.

The second vision was of the land being flooded by the presence and glory of God coming in like water from the ocean after the floodgates were opened by them. God is going to give them the nation and teach them the ways of breakthrough for other nations.

I guess that's all for tonight. Hope you are all doing well.

Many blessings,

Ben, Brenda, family and team

GOD BLESS AMERICA - AND THE WHOLE WORLD

Dear Friends,

Please remember to pray for and attend if possible the coming Revival Meetings in Elgin this Thursday through Saturday and again next week Thursday through Saturday. You can find details on our itinerary calendar of our website: www.ohmint.org. We anticipate an incredible move of God. We will have Vance Murphy from Atlanta assisting us this next Friday and Saturday.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

I have watched a lot of the conventions and comments in the last two weeks as both political parties did their best to make their case to the American people. There was a lot of stretching the truth and ignoring facts, as always happens, but regardless of the political games, I believe God has given us a clear choice in the next elections.

Some, especially many of our African American friends, feel that finally Martin Luther King's dream is coming true. And we do rejoice that America has matured to the point that they could elect a non-white person to the most important position in government. And how awesome it would be if this man was in agreement with the heart of God for America. He is very gifted and brilliant, but I as an individual voter, cannot vote for him unless he drastically changes his positions on the life of the unborn and newborn.

He voted to protect the barbaric practice of partial birth abortions - a grizzly unthinkable procedure and he truly did oppose a bill to protect the life of babies born alive in botched abortion attempts. He is more pro-abortion than almost anyone in the land, according to his record. Because of the shedding of innocent blood, there is great danger of judgment on America, and we have already seen some of that.

As long as we legalize abortion, we cannot prosper, no matter how brilliant our president or congress are. We need God's forgiveness and His favor.

Meanwhile, we have been hearing prophecies recently from at least two well-known prophets regarding the fact that God would give us a special Vice President - that He was not giving up on America. One was Bob Jones. He said, "We didn't get the choice we wanted for president, but God has a special person for Vice President."

I don't think America was ready to elect a former minister, but they might go along with a mother of five, who also happened to be the most popular governor in the union. Not only that, but she is a Spirit-filled servant of God who is fearless like Deborah. I have been showered with emails about her speaking in church in Alaska and sharing her love for Jesus.

I just got a letter by email this morning sharing information from Dutch Sheets. PLEASE READ THIS AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.

Thank you and God bless you all!

Ben
Prophecy about McCain & Palin

Peg and I have just returned from our Sunday AM service. As you know we have been involved in 90 days of Hosting the Lord's Presence and its been powerful...in a personal way. We knew there has been lots of warfare because when we get home we are tired and need a nap. The Sunday AM celebrations have been just worship with some intercessory prayer but no preaching or teaching. This morning after an extended time of worship Dutch Sheets, our pastor, shared an exhortation, as he called it. During this Peg and I both were about to explode in our spirits.

I believe you are aware that Dutch was used by the Lord to call prayer before the 2000 Bush election that was so close. He said this morning that this election is perhaps even more critical than 2000 because of the Supreme Court. If the right political posture is not elected, we stand to lose decades of progress and the reprocussions are enormous. Last year Chuck Pierce and Greg Hood (both prophets) prophesied that in 2008 we are not electing a president but the vice president. Dutch said he could get no release in his heart to back Huckabee even though pressured by many in the body of Christ. Huckabee is a good man and a strong believer, but he was not God's choice. Dutch also told us that he knows a man who gave McCain a prophetic word that McCain had made a vow to God when he was at the bottom during his POW days and now God was calling in that vow. McCain was visibly moved by this word.

Dutch was traveling to Texas on Friday and when he landed in the airport, his wife called and told him to get to the TV asap. He watched McCain introduce Governor Palin and said he began to weep, even though he knew nothing about her. (I experienced the very same thing and we have had reports of many others including Newt Gingrich.) He asked what the significance of this 44-year-old woman was and he saw the clock said 4:44. He asked the Lord what that was and the Lord said, "Ezekiel 44:4." "He brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; so I looked, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD; and I fell on my face. NKJV North gate representing Alaska

A few years ago Dutch and Chuck Pierce went on a 50-state tour prophesying over the state their part in God's purposes for the U.S. At the meeting in Texas that evening Dutch was relaying his experience about the Governor to Chuck who said, "Do you remember what the word was the Lord gave us for Alaska ?" The Lord had shown them that Alaska is the alpha and omega state. It is the place where things begin and end. You may realize that some of the Alaskan islands are on the other side of the Dateline meaning that the day begins and ends in Alaska . The Lord said that Alaska is a gateway for the Ancient of Days to come into the nation . The Lord told Dutch (back in Alaska ) to tell the people of Alaska to look forward into their destiny. Alaska has an assignment to open doors and a place where prophets and intercessors were trained. It turns out that the Governor who was raised in a Pentecostal Church , according to our newspaper, founded the prayer movement in Alaska .

We will be having the last of our 90 days beginning in a major gathering Sept 11th. The significance of this is that Chuck Pierce had prophecied that there would be 7 years of war and Sept 11 marks the end of that time and the entering of the 8th year. Someone said that 44 = 4+4 or 8.

Dutch asked why he and Chuck were in Texas for this announcement and the Lord reminded him that the word for Texas was that it is a prophetic state - that the Lord's purpose for Texas is this prophetic function.

Dutch then decreed she will enter the White House. Now, if you don't know him, he is cautious, has his feet on the ground, and never goes of "half cocked" when it comes to prophecy. He said that he believes as of Friday the U.S. has come into a new level of alignment with the Lord and His purposes. By the way, the Governor will be the 44th Vice President. He continued to declare that she will be the Margaret Thatcher of America including that she would be President one day. Many other things came forth. I literally thought I would explode because the Lord had shown me many of these same things yesterday.

I believe we especially need to rally prayer for the family and children of the Governor. They will be targeted by the enemy and I believe we need special prayer for the oldest daughter. Please take this seriously in your prayers.
