"I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to
Baal." So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
Romans 11-4,5
The REMNANT! My friend, I can't even begin to tell you how heavy my heart
has been about this nation, the world we live in, and so many people dying
every day and spending eternity in hell. The fact is, this nation and world
could be looking forward each day to God's blessings, instead of awaiting
His soon coming wrath and judgment. So many people die each day and end up
in hell, when many of them would have accepted Jesus as their Savior and
been spending eternity in Heaven if someone had only told them how to be
saved. I have spent much of the past 4 years on my face before the Lord,
asking for His guidance in fulfilling the ultimate plan and purpose for His
work here at Liveprayer
In the Bible, we read about the REMNANT. No matter how evil and wicked the
children of Israel became, God always had a remnant of the faithful who
refused to bow their knee to Baal. Throughout the ages, God has always had a
remnant. Despite the spiritual freefall this nation is in due to its' gross
sin and wickedness, God still has a remnant today who refuses to bow down to
the false gods and idols of this world, and have remained faithful to the
Lord.
In the Bible, we read about the religious institutions that became corrupt,
were mostly about money, had become part of the spiritually bankrupt culture
due to compromise and worldly motivations, and their leaders who lived a
life of luxury off of the sacrifce of the people they were supposed to be
guiding spiritually. Isn't it amazing that in the year 2011 nothing has
really changed? Most mainline denominations have bought into the perverted
liberal theology of the day that accepts many sins and opposes Biblical
Truth. They have embraced ecumenicalism, laying aside the absolutes of the
Bible to fellowship with the cults and false religions of the world.
Other churches have bought into the man-made marketing plans of our day like
the seeker movement, the purpose driven church, the emerging church, and the
prosperity gospel. So-call Christian leaders sell-out the Gospel for their
own benefits. Many preachers think they are celebrities and use the
sacrifices of the people they minister to to live like the ruler of a small
nation. Is it any wonder why our nation is in spritual freefall when the
very institution God created to lead our culture and the people to the Lord,
has allowed itself to become part of this sinful and rebellious landscape?
Sadly, in the Bible, other than the prophet warning the people, the remnant
was quiet never heard from until AFTER God's wrath and punishment rained
down upon the children of Israel. It was ultimately the remnant that led
their nation back to God and His Truth during that time of punishment, and
helped re-establish the worship of Almighty God and following His Truth in
the aftermath.
I don't believe that the remnant needs to remain silent and sit back while
our nation experiences the wrath and judgment of Almighty God. I believe
that if the remnant will rise up with one voice, we can see God's hand of
judgment stayed for a season. However, we have no time left. As I told you 4
years ago, we would see God's wrath and judgment begin to fall on our
nation, and we have. Believe me when I tell you the current economic crisis
has only just begun. We have a true enemy of God leading our nation. This is
only the start of God's judgment on this land. We must act now!
This can not be a movement led by a mere man of flesh and blood, but must be
guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Works of men are little more than
fiefdoms, and we already have thousands of them in Christendom which is a
major reason why the church has virtually no influence over our culture.
This has got to be a movement of the remnant, God's true and faithful
followers. Those in the remnant refuse to bow their knee to the gods of this
world, their goals and desires are heavenly and not earthly, and they seek
to use their God-given gifts and talents to serve and glorify Him.
As for Liveprayer, God has uniquely positioned this end-days ministry to be
a catalyst to rally and lead His remnant, to sound the trump of warning, in
the marketplace and help guide His remnant to lead this nation back to God
and His Truth for a season. It is amazing what God can do with only a few
who are completely and unconditionally sold out to Him! In just 12 years,
Liveprayer, one small work of God operated out of the back of a used car
lot, has literally impacted tens of millions of lives worldwide through the
Internet and secular media, responded to just under 80 million emails for
prayer, have over 6 million praise reports archived, and seen over 600,000
souls we know of come to faith in Jesus Christ.
Liveprayer has refused to get involved in the politics the big-time
Christian ministries become ensnared in, stayed true to our mission to reach
out to the lost and hurting masses in the marketplace despite knowing the
road to comfort and prosperity in the minsitry is paved through the
Christian media, and has never compromised the Gospel and God's Truth found
in the Bible regardless the personal consequences to myself or that it
caused many key donors to stop supporting God's work here. When I die it is
God, no man, who I will stand before, just like you and every other man
will!
Today, I am looking for just 7,000 who refuse to bow their knee to Baal and
will go to their death faithfully serving the Lord. We have set up a special
web page for "The Remnant" at: www.liveprayer.com/remnant.cfm . Please take
a minute and go there, read what being part of the remnant means, and take
your stand to be one of the 7,000 who will make up the remnant in these last
days.
The fact is, every person has
gifts and talents God has bestowed upon them. Some have more than others,
but everyone has something God has blessed them to be able to do. It is time
for the remnant to rise up where God has planted you and take your stand for
Him! Where you live, where you work or go to school, where you shop, where
you recreate, none of that is by accident. God has placed you in strategic
places in these last days to be His voice. Pray, seek the face of the Lord,
ask Him for courage and boldness, and use your life to serve and glorify Him
as He opens the doors, while without shame proclaiming to all he brings into
your life that Jesus is their only hope and only answer!
I am also asking those 7,000 who become part of the remnant to pray about
making a sacrifce of $300 between now and the end of September to God's work
here at Liveprayer. God has opened several doors for Liveprayer to have a
visible and prominent voice in the mainstream media. It is a needed and
critical voice that will give one voice to all in the remnant as we take on
the lies of satan and stand for Biblical Truth in the marketplace, something
NOBODY is doing on a national secular media stage. Again, having a strong
unified voice is the key for the remnant to be successful in helping to turn
this nation back to God and His Truth while leading lost souls to faith in
Jesus Christ. It will be the sacrifce of those in the remnant, the sacrifce
of their time, talent, and treasure, that will give us the tools we need to
see victory!
I love you and care about you so much. There is NO EXCUSE we still slaughter
4,000 babies in this nation every day. There is NO EXCUSE we have men
marrying men and women marrying women in this nation. The is NO EXCUSE for
the proliferation of porn and gambling. There is NO EXCUSE that the media
puts out the unfiltered garbage it does 24/7. THERE IS NO EXCUSE THAT SATAN
IS ABLE TO INFLUENCE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE MASSES 24/7 WITHOUT ANY
OPPOSITION! I echo the challenge Elijah issued to the people of his day on
Mt. Carmel, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is
God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."
Here is the reality of where we are at today. We have forsaken God for the
false gods and idols of the world. The leader of our nation is no friend of
God. The economy is not going to get better anytime soon, it is going to get
worse. The heart of our society, marriage and the family, has been
decimated. We are in all out rebellion to God and evil operates virtually
unopposed throughout this nation and world. Our nation and this world is
overdue the wrath and judgment of God for our gross wickedness. Now is the
hour for the remnant to rise up and be heard before it is too late. Our time
is up and we are currently operating on God's grace and mercy at this point.
THE FACT IS, WE CAN SEE POSITIVE MOVEMENT IN THE SPIRITUAL COURSE OF THIS
NATION, A TRUE CHANGE IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE OF THIS NATION IN A VERY SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME. WE HAVE THE TOOLS, GOD HAS THE PEOPLE (HIS REMNANT), AND THE
FUNDS NECESSARY ARE MINISCULE IN COMPARISON TO WHAT THE WORLD SPENDS TO LEAD
SOULS TO HELL. THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO STAND FOR THE LORD AS THE REMNANT
HAS ALWAYS STOOD. MAY HISTORY SHOW WE WERE FAITHFUL!
LIVEPRAYER WILL LEAD THE
REMNANT AND ESTABLISH OUR POWERFUL VOICE FOR GOD'S TRUTH IN THE MARKETPLACE
TO CALL OUR NATION AND THE WORLD TO REPENTANCE AND THE LOST TO FAITH IN
JESUS CHRIST. IT WILL BECOME A VOICE FOR THOSE WHO ARE THE TRUE REMNANT AND
MOBILIZE THE FAITHFUL TO WIN VICTORIES OVER THE SOCIAL ISSUES OF OUR DAY AND
LEAD THE LOST TO FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST! TIME IS RUNNING OUT, THE HOUR IS
UPON US, IT IS TIME TO ACT AND ACT DECISIVELY!!! WILL YOU BE PART OF GOD'S
REMNANT???

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ, and part of the remnant,
