North Carolina

Greetings Saints,

After a private ladies meeting tomorrow (Thursday), we head for Garner, North Carolina on Friday. We will do four meetings, at Garner Christian Fellowship, finishing up on Sunday morning. We would appreciate your earnest prayers for revival and breakthrough there.

Like other ministries are experiencing, we definitely have felt the anointing on our ministry getting stronger and stronger. We're seeing more healings and a greater flow of fresh revelation month after month and meeting after meeting. We know we are in a great time for the church. The harvesters and warriors are being woken up, raised up and mobilized. The joy of the harvest and dividing the spoils (Is. 9:3) has begun, but that joy will surely increase in the next months and years.

THE JONATHAN MODEL

God really spoke to me about Jonathan and his relatioship with David. Jonathan was raised in the palace while David was watching a few sheep, not considered worthy of consideration for the kingdom by his own father. But when Jonathan, who was the natural heir to the throne, saw the anointing on David, he said, "You will be king instead of me. and I will serve at your side. Then he gave David his royal robe, his belt, his sword and his bow. All these would be high quality and represented the authority of his royal position as well as his commitment to serve David.

I have already seen many applications of this concept, but I think God is raising up some of the least expected to serve Him in high places, while others, who seem to have all the credentials, are called to serve at their side and support them.

Jonathan had good intentions, but was not allowed to try to fulfill his commitment. Instead, he was killed in battle along with his father, King Saul. It would actually have been very difficult to watch David do things differently than his father had taught him. He would have been tempted to criticize and judge. Those who would be "Jonathans" must be willing to die to their better ideas and right to judge. They must recognize the special call and anointing from God. They must remember that God chooses the foolish things, the base things, the weak things, etc., to blow the minds of those who think they are wise, great, strong, etc.

I know that in our lives, we have been called more than once to be the Jonathans and die to our own ambitions and build another person's ministry. The great thing is that God won't allow us to humble ourselves without eventually exalting us. Then the trick is to stay humble while we are exalted, so we don't get humbled by God for our pride.

NEW BOOK IS ON THE WAY - WOULD YOU BELIEVE - A NOVEL?

My new book called, VEGGIE VILLAGE AND THE GREAT AND DANGEROUS JUNGLE, AN ALLEGORY, has been written and is being proof-read and should be ready well before Christmas if all goes well. I am very excited about this book and the possibility that it will inspire young and old to work together for the restoration of the fullness of the power of God in the church to bring in the harvest. This will be a great book for the younger generation, but needs to be read by older people as well.

Many blessings in the love of Jesus,

Ben, Brenda, Family and Team
