BACK TO EGYPT!

“AND THE LORD SHALL SMITE EGYPT:
HE SHALL SMITE AND HEAL IT:AND THEY SHALL RETURN EVEN
TO THE LORD, AND HE SHALL INTREATED OF THEM AND SHALL
HEAL THEM.” ISA. 19:22
Yes, in spite of wars and rumors of wars, PEACE
IS COMING to Egypt, the Middle East, and to all
this sin sick world! Praise the LORD! It seems the
evening news brings nothing but more death, devastation,
terror, and destruction.
World leaders struggle for
answers — solutions that never
come. If only they would look
into the prophetic Word of God
they would see that there really
is no human answer or solution.
I know this sounds defeatist to
many who are sincerely looking
for a “road map to peace” in the
Middle East. The GOOD NEWS
is — it will come, but only in
God’s time and way.
In a moment, I will show
you from the Word of God
exactly how that peace will
come, but in the meantime WE HAVE A BIG AND
GLORIOUS JOB TO DO! Praise the Lord! Please
do not ever say to me again, “Revival is coming” or
“Harvest Time is coming”! Dear Father in Heaven —
are we BLIND? Have you not seen the sea of humanity
at the great Reinhard Bonnke and Benny Hinn
crusades? In India, THIS YEAR, I spoke to TWO
MILLION in one night! Dear Benny led hundreds of
thousands to Christ in the great Bombay crusade!
Brother Bonnke has ONE MILLION signed cards
from ONE AFRICAN crusade, confessing Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior! Brother Nasir Siddiki,
a former Moslem, recently led 60 thousand in India
and 40 thousand in South Africa to faith in Christ —
most of them Moslem!
So how do we help bring in this awesome Harvest?
Ah, I’m glad you asked!
First of all — PRAY! I know you know this, but
Jesus Himself called on us to see that:
“THE HARVEST TRULY
IS GREAT, BUT THE
LABOURERS ARE FEW:
PRAY YE THEREFORE
THE LORD OF THE
HARVEST, THAT HE
WOULD SEND FORTH
LABOURERS INTO HIS
HARVEST.” Luke 10:2
Secondly — help us keep
this great Voice — TBN, ON
THE AIR with, now, over
6,000 stations and 43 great
satellite footprints which literally
cover the earth! Yes,
there are other great voices
and ministries but remember, Jesus said, “THEY ARE
TOO FEW”! And while dear old TBN has been battered,
plundered, and spoken against, we rest in the
fact that this is truly GOD’S WORK! He raised it up
and HE will keep it until He comes for us! The old
bow is scarred, battered and worn; but PRAISE GOD,
the old ship, TBN, still rides high on the waves —
throwing out the “LIFE LINE” to multitudes! How
Jan and I love you and thank you for 31 awesome
years of Harvest. I know you will help us keep this
great Voice on the air till Jesus comes!
Thirdly — and here is the most important key:
The church of Jesus Christ has got to close ranks
and come together as ONE to confront the forces
of hell and bring in this Harvest!
Division in the Body is not new. Even in the apostle
Paul’s day he complained that some were “of Paul” and
some were “of Apollos”! Oh God — when will we lay
down these abominable traditions of legalism and truly
become ONE as Christ commands!
As I write this letter, Jan and I are on our way to
Egypt. I will have to meet separately with at least three
different segments of the Body of Christ. Why? Simply
because, I am told, this group will not attend if another
group is there!
God help us! I shall never forget a dear Russian
pastor’s word to me. He said that during the “cold war”
when religious persecution was rife, “We were at least,
for a time, UNITED AS ONE!” Why? He went on to say,
“When the KGB came knocking on our doors, they did
not ask, ‘Are you Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal or
Orthodox’— all they asked — ‘ARE YOU CHRISTIANS?’”
Many were persecuted, sent to the Siberian prisons,
or killed for their FAITH — not for their
denomination!
My spirit cries out: “Oh God — when will we hear
the words of Christ Himself—
“A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO YOU,
THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER; AS I HAVE
LOVED YOU…. BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN KNOW
THAT YE ARE MY DISCIPLES, IF YE HAVE LOVE
ONE TO ANOTHER.” John 13:34, 35
I know it would be easy, right here, to throw up our
hands in despair! But remember and take courage in
Jesus’ word:
“I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; AND THE GATES
OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT.”
Matt. 16:18
Praise God! I do take great new courage in this
glorious word, and you know what? The TRUE BODY of
Christ really is united! It’s the leaders in most cases that
keep, or try to keep us apart! Believe me, the scribes and
Pharisees are alive and well even in our generation! Jesus
never rebuked the sinners — but had much to say to the
religious leaders:
“WOE UNTO TO YOU, SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,
HYPOCRITES! FOR YE COMPASS SEA
AND LAND TO MAKE ONE PROSELYTE [CONVERT],
AND WHEN HE IS MADE, YE MAKE HIM
TWOFOLD MORE A CHILD OF HELL THAN
YOURSELVES.” Matt 23:15
WOW! All I can say after that is: “IF THE SHOE
FITS….”!
Well, dear Partners, I told you earlier that God’s
Word is the only “road map to peace” in all the world.
Only as we turn to Him do we have true PEACE. And
yes, we can have it even in this tormented, insane world!
If I did not KNOW that HE has it all under control,
I think I would go jump off the bridge even before I end
this letter to you!
Yes, peace is coming, but only when the “PRINCE
OF PEACE” arrives! Hear the Word of the Lord:
“IN THAT DAY SHALL ISRAEL BE THE THIRD
WITH EGYPT AND WITH ASSYRIA [THE
ARABS], EVEN ABLESSING IN THE MIDST OF
THE LAND: WHOM THE LORD OF HOSTS
SHALL BLESS, SAYING, BLESSED BE EGYPT
MY PEOPLE, AND ASSYRIA, THE WORK
OF MY HANDS, AND ISRAEL MINE INHERITANCE.”
Isa. 19:24, 25
In the meantime our mission is clear — as Reinhard
Bonnke says, “Let’s plunder hell to populate heaven!”
Jan and I love you and wait for your letter of
prayers, encouragement, and support. The battle cry is
clear: “ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!”

“Paul and Jan visited Egypt two years ago,
as the door began opening in this ancient land!”

For over 4,600 years, the Great Sphinx
of Giza and the pyramid of Khafre have
stood as silent sentinels over the great
land of Egypt.

Virtually every building in Cairo has its own satellite
receiving dish! And now TBN will be accessing even
more homes with not only TBN programs, but also the
Church Channel and JC-TV, since changing to digital
satellite broadcasting on Hotbird 6 this past May.

While at a Benny Hinn service in Bombay, India earlier
this year, Paul addressed an audience of TWO MILLION
people! Yes, dear Partners, the “harvest is come”!
