The Dream PART II
By Jimmy Swaggart
“Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east” (Gen. 29:1).
Self is the culprit;
no one can really
enjoy God until
he gets to the
bottom of self.
THE JOURNEY
THE WELL
Grace forgave Jacob and confirmed to him the
promises. We will find in this scenario that
even though Jacob has had a great revelation
from the Lord, still, spiritually speaking, he
has yet a ways to go.
“And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and,
lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for
out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great
stone was upon the well’s mouth” (Gen. 29:2).
Self is the culprit; no one can really enjoy God
until he gets to the bottom of self.
This journey, even as we shall see, was to last for
some 20 years. In it, Jacob would learn much
but would still need another revelation before
the total change would come. More than anything else, these 20 years were to make him see
the need for change.
God will not really begin to reveal Himself
until the end of the flesh is seen. If, therefore,
I have not reached the end of my flesh in the
deep and positive experience of my soul, it is
morally impossible that I can have anything
like a just apprehension of God’s character.
Regrettably, it takes a long time to come to the
end of self-will.
This is what this journey is all about!
We will find in the coming scenario that the
problem of deception is still with Jacob, and an
old sin is an easy sin!
Jacob was now in Mesopotamia, about 450
miles from Beer-sheba.
4 SEPTEMBER 2014 THE EVANGELIST
As we shall see, it is obvious that this well could
only be used at fixed times. A great stone covered its mouth, which probably required two or
three men to remove it.
From the way the scenario unfolds, more than
likely, Laban, the father of Rachel, owned this
well because immediately upon her arrival
with the sheep, the stone was rolled away. Her
sheep were watered first while the rest had to
bide their time until her sheep were watered
though they had been there long before her.
Considering the value of wells of that particular
time, this is probably the truth of the matter.
Jacob comes upon this well and sees sheep and
shepherds gathered by it. They are evidently
waiting for the stone to be rolled away so their
sheep can be watered.
WATER
“And there were all the flocks gathered: and they
rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered
the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s
mouth in his place” (Gen. 29:3).
WE BELIEVE:
»»The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative
written Word of God. (Ps. 119; Mat. 4:4; Lk. 24:27)
»»There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: God
the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (I Jn. 5:7)
This verse plainly tells us how the sheep were watered at this particular
well. As stated, it probably belonged to Laban and was only opened at
certain times.
Jacob is now coming to the end of his journey, but yet, spiritually speaking, it
is a journey that will continue.
To be brought to the place where the Lord desires that we be is not done
quickly or easily. As it regards the child of God, every action plays a part in
the sanctification process. Wells with their water always presented a place of
refreshment, especially in a climate such as that in which Jacob now found
himself. Thank God the Lord always has a well at the desired place.

(Rev. 20:5-6, 11-15)
HARAN
“And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, where do you live? And they said, Of
Haran are we” (Gen. 29:4).
In those days, signs were not on every corner giving directions. As well, one
did not ask just anyone concerning distances or directions. Robbers were
lying in wait for those who were lost or disoriented.
So, when Jacob asked these shepherds where they were from, with their
reply being, “Haran,” which was actually his destination, he knew he was
close. This, no doubt, reminded him of God’s promise to guide him on
his journey.
For the Lord to be with one — to guide, to lead, to give direction, and to help
in that which at first seems to be but small things, but which quickly leads
to large things — is the greatest blessing that one could ever know. This
which the Lord promised to do for Jacob, as wonderful as it was, is available to all believers, irrespective as to whom they might be. Paul quotes the
Master when He said: “‘I will never leave you, nor forsake you.’
“So that we may boldly say, the Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear what man shall
do unto me” (Heb. 13:5-6).
However, such relationship is not automatic with the believer. The believer
must actively want and desire such relationship and must ask the Lord to
provide such. It is a prayer that the Lord will definitely answer. However, He
will not push His way in but, most of the time, is waiting for the initiative to
be taken by the believer.
LABAN
“And he said unto them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We
know him” (Gen. 29:5).
Laban, it is remembered, is Rebekah’s brother. He is the one who primarily
dealt with Eliezer, the servant of Abraham, who had come to find a bride for
Isaac, which took place approximately 80 to 90 years before (Gen., Chpt.
24). This would mean that Laban was over 100 years of age, which was not
uncommon in those days.
THE PRICELESS CORNER
We have set aside this corner of The Evangelist to show
God’s Plan of Salvation. If you are unsure where you will go
when you die, please listen to what God has said in His Word:
FIRST: GOD LOVES YOU!
“For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but
have Everlasting Life” (Jn. 3:16).
SECOND: MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN
HAS SEPARATED HIM FROM GOD
“For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and
sinneth not” (Eccl. 7:20).
“For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God”
(Rom. 3:23).
THIRD: JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REMEDY FOR SIN
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that He might bring us to God ...” (I Pet. 3:18).
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other
name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved” (Acts 4:12).
FOURTH: YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST
AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR
Jesus calls this experience the “new bir th.” He told
Nicodemus: “... Except a man be born again, he cannot see
the Kingdom of God” (Jn. 3:3).
We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your
personal Saviour. “But as many as received Him, to them
gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on His Name” (Jn. 1:12).
Pray this prayer and mean it with all of your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus, I now realize that I am a sinner. I accept
the fact that You died for me on the rugged Cross of Calvary.
I now open my heart’s door and receive You as Saviour and
Lord of my life. Please take full control of me and help me to
be the kind of Christian You want me to be. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer in all sincerity, you are now a Child
of God. So that we might rejoice with you, we invite you to

The language spoken then by the
shepherds was probably Chaldean.
Jacob, who spoke Hebrew, was evidently able to converse with them
either because he had learned Chaldean from his mother or, as is more
probable, because the dialects were
not then greatly dissimilar.
He called Laban the son of Nahor
though he was actually the grandson.
In both Hebrew and Aramaic, there is
no separate word for grandson. “Son”
means any descendant down the line.
RACHEL
“And he said unto them, Is he well? And
they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel
his daughter comes with the sheep”
(Gen. 29:6).
THE SHEEP
“And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither
is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water the sheep, and go
and feed them.
“And they said, We cannot, until all the
flocks be gathered together, and till they
roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then
we water the sheep” (Gen. 28:21).
Knowing that the shepherds have
brought the sheep for water, Jacob
wonders as to why they are not attending to the task but seemingly waiting.
More than likely, as stated, the reason
was that Laban owned the well, and
the flocks could not be watered until
Rachel had watered her flock.
This is the first mention of Rachel in
the Bible. She will figure very prominently in the great plan of God, being
the mother of Joseph and Benjamin.
She was the ancestress of three of
the great tribes of Israel — Benjamin,
Ephraim, and Manasseh — the latter
two being the sons of Joseph. She and
her sister Leah were honored by later
generations as those “who together
built up the house of Israel” (Ruth 4:11).
The evidence is that Laban was not
so well-to-do financially. His daughter was serving as a shepherdess.
She was evidently raised to do her
part in the family and, thereby, was
taught responsibility and industry.
From such, the Lord drew the mothers of Israel.
In all of this we see the hand of the
Lord working, which is a pleasure to
behold. Jacob, who must have a wife
in order for the great plan of God to be
brought forth, is led to this particular
well even at the exact time that Rachel
appears. What a mighty God we serve!
RACHEL, THE
SHEPHERDESS
“And while he yet spoke with them, Rachel
came with her father’s sheep: for she kept
them” (Gen. 29:9).
We readily see the hand of the Lord
working in this situation regarding
the meeting of Jacob with Rachel. I
think the Holy Spirit immediately
informed Jacob that this young lady
was to be his wife. However, as we
shall see, Jacob’s way was fraught
with difficulty.
At this point, Laban had no sons,
although later, he would have. As
the younger daughter, Rachel was
assigned to the task of keeping the
sheep, which she did. How old Rachel
was at this time, we have no way of
knowing; however, she was probably
in her late teens.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
“And it came to pass, when Jacob saw
Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his
mother’s brother, that Jacob went near,
and rolled the stone from the well’s
mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his
mother’s brother” (Gen. 29:10).
RACHEL, JACOB, THE WELL, AND THE SHEEP
Wells in those days were very valuable, especially in the places of hot,
dry climates, which this was. So, a
system for watering undoubtedly was
worked out with the various different
flocks in the area.
The stone at the well’s mouth, which is
so often mentioned here, was to secure
the water; for water was scarce — it was
not there for everyone’s use.
Three times the Holy Spirit has Moses
to repeat the term, “His mother’s
brother.” It is not done unintentionally. The idea is, Jacob has met with
his own relations, with “his bone and
his flesh.”
This is some proof that Laban owned
this well in that Rachel waters her
sheep first, or at least Jacob waters
them for her.
It is highly unlikely that Jacob would
have acted here as he did had he
not learned from Rachel, or possibly
the waiting shepherds, that the well

belonged to Laban and that no sheep were to be
watered until Rachel had first watered hers.
The Scripture says, “When Jacob saw Rachel.” Every
evidence is that it was love at first sight.
RACHEL AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD
“And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and
wept” (Gen. 29:11).
The patriarch is overcome with emotion, and I
think mostly at the joy of seeing the hand of God
working in his life. Truly, the Lord was with him.
While he was very happy to have met his relatives,
which means that his long journey was now over,
I think the greatest joy of all was that of a spiritual note. As well, he may have known at that very
moment, and informed by the Spirit of God that
Rachel would be his wife. He, of course, would not
have told her that then, but more than likely, the
Spirit of the Lord definitely informed him of such, at
least at some point.
RELATIONS
LABAN AND JACOB
“And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings
of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and
embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his
house. And he told Laban all these things” (Gen. 29:13).
Laban now did almost exactly what he had done
those many years before when he was told by Rebekah
of Eliezer. As he ran then to meet Abraham’s servant,
he now runs to meet Jacob.
The patriarch now relates to Laban all the things
which had happened between him and Esau. No
doubt, he especially gave all the information which
Laban required about his mother Rebekah, who was
Laban’s sister.
Laban would have been well over 100 years of age at
this time.
THE BEGINNING
“And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh.
And he abode with him the space of a month” (Gen. 29:14).
“And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother,
and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her
father” (Gen. 29:12).
Jacob is now about to begin to reap the bitter fruit
of his sin. At the outset, he is deceived exactly as he
deceived his father, and was deeply wounded in the
deepest affections of his heart.
Jacob was actually the
nephew of Laban. Terms
of relationship were used
in a very indefinite way
among the Hebrews.
It is a popular mistake to suppose that Jacob did not
marry Rachel till the end of the seven years, or even
the second seven years. Every evidence is, however,
that he took her immediately for his wife, serving the
term after the wedding.
We will find that Jacob’s
love for Rachel is one
of the Bible’s outstanding examples of human
love — seven years “seemed
to him but a few days
because of the love he had
for her” (Gen. 29:20).
After Jacob related everything to Laban, the uncle
admitted that Jacob was indeed who he had said he
was, for the simple reason that no one else would
have had the knowledge of so many details.
When she told her father
Laban about Jacob, I
JACOB
wonder if he did not
recall when his sister Rebekah, those many years
before, had come to him when Eliezer had come on
behalf of Abraham as it regarded a bride for Isaac?
Jacob abiding with Laban for the space of a month
means that he lived with Laban for this particular
period of time, and then went out and obtained his
own place after that.
WAGES
“And Laban said unto Jacob, Because you are my brother,
should you therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what
shall your wages be?” (Gen. 29:15).
Jacob, the dealer, meets now with Laban, the
dealer, and they both are seen, as it were, straining every nerve to outwit each other.
Evidently, during the month that Jacob spent
in the house of Laban, he applied himself to
serve his uncle even as he had begun when he
watered his flock. So, Laban wanted to strike
up a bargain with him that Jacob might be in
his employ.
Due to the manner in which Jacob had to leave
his home, he was destitute of money of any
nature and so was at the mercy of Laban to a
great degree.
THE BARGAIN
“And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder
was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
“Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and
well favoured.
“And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve you
seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.
“And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you,
than that I should give her to another man: abide
with me.
“And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they
seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had to
her” (Gen. 29:16-20).
Would the deception that Laban was now planning to carry out on Jacob have been carried out
if, in fact, Jacob had not tried to practice deception on his father Isaac?
I think not! The Scripture emphatically states
that we reap what we sow (Gal. 6:7-8). Even
though the passage in Galatians is speaking of
sowing to the flesh or sowing to the Spirit, still,
the principle is the same.
SOWING TO THE FLESH
In its most simplistic form, this refers to trying
to live this Christian life by means other than
faith in Christ and what Christ has done for us
at the Cross.
Even though believers were not referred to as
Christians during Jacob’s time, the principle
was the same. Jacob all too often was trying to
follow the Lord by the means of self-will instead
of trust in the Lord.
The sacrifices of
old represented
Christ and His
However, we have far less excuse today than
did Jacob. The Cross through which everything
comes to the believer from the Lord is now historical. In other words, it’s a fact. The Cross
with Jacob was prophetic, meaning that it was
yet in the future. Still, as we receive everything
presently from the Lord by looking back to the
Cross, in Old Testament times, everything was
received from the Lord by looking forward to
that coming time of the Cross. In fact, the sacrifices of old represented Christ and His Cross.
Faith in those sacrifices per se would have done
little good; however, faith in who and what
they represented was the secret of all victory
and power.
Cross. Faith in
Let’s say it another way: Any effort made other
than faith in Christ and the Cross is sowing
to the flesh, which means that such will never
bring forth the desired result.
of all victory
those sacrifices
per se would
have done little
good; however,
faith in who
and what they
represented
was the secret
and power.
SOWING TO THE SPIRIT
Sowing to the Spirit refers to the Holy Spirit, and
refers to placing our faith and confidence totally
and completely in Christ and the Cross through
which the Holy Spirit works (Rom. 8:1-11).
Many Christians have the idea that sowing
to the Spirit refers to doing spiritual things. It
really doesn’t! While those things we do might
be good, helpful, instructive, and informative;
still, our walk with God is not so much in what
we do, but rather what we believe (Jn. 3:16).
As we look at Jacob, we might possibly think
that we would never do such a thing as Jacob
did as it regards the practicing of deception.
While deception may not be our direction, to
be sure, some other wrong is. In other words,
we don’t come to the place of walking after the
Spirit very quickly or very easily. As well, we
can’t come there at all if someone doesn’t teach
us the truth.
9
Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free” (Jn. 8:32).
This message was taken from the Jimmy Swaggart hardback book, Jacob.
While it’s not possible to eliminate the growing process
in the hearts and lives of believers, we can save ourselves
much grief if we are blessed enough to come under correct teaching.
So, Jacob loved Rachel and agreed to serve Laban some
seven years for her hand, so to speak.
It would seem from these statements that Jacob served
Laban for seven years before Rachel became his wife; however, the terminology employed rather refers to a contract
or agreement. Jacob married both Leah and Rachel immediately, the first in which he was deceived into doing so,
and the second by intention. Now he must serve 14 years,
which he did.
The mission is
THE SAME.
The message is
THE CROSS.
The audience is
THE WORLD.

to carry unnecessary burdens put on them by so-called “faith teachers.” These “Word”
people, as they are known, have convinced a generation that when the believer’s faith fails
in their formula to make God move, the Christian must do more, know more, and be more.
That’s why this article my husband wrote is just as important today as it was in 1982 when
he wrote it. I believe what the Lord gave to him will not only help you discern the spiritual
dangers still associated with the hyper-faith movement, but also draw you closer to the
author and finisher of our faith, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I Tim. 6:20-21 – “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings,
and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.”
Their basic
difficulty with the
Word of God is
that they separate
the Word from the
person of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
THE WORD OF GOD
One of the basic teachings of the hyperfaith movement is that all Scripture is not
the same. In other words, some Scriptures
pertain particularly to those who are still
in the realm of the “senses” (flesh) — those
who are sadly unenlightened. They would
even go so far as to say that the Apostle Paul
demonstrated great lack of enlightenment
in many of his experiences. I Corinthians,
Chapter 4, is considered an example of this.
The same can be said of all of the apostles in
the days of the early church. Some go even
further by including the Lord Jesus Christ in
this category.
In other words, these teachers say that if the
apostles of old (and even the Lord Jesus Christ)
had the knowledge we possess today, they
would not have been required to suffer many
of the difficulties which they experienced.
In practice, only certain Scriptures are used
by the hyper-faith teachers to support their

contentions. Their basic difficulty with the
Word of God is that they separate the Word
from the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. In
short, they have replaced God with their
chosen Scriptures, rationalizing that this will
justify their actions. The words of Scripture
are deified — apart from the living God — and
exalted into various “laws,” which bring the
forces of good and evil into action.
They call themselves “Word” people — constantly quoting particular Scriptures, thereby
convincing the public that they are very scriptural and very spiritual — thus making their contentions completely trustworthy. In truth, they
actually deny parts of the Bible as revelation
that is not illuminated with a higher knowledge.
In practice, although they call themselves
“Word” people, they rely on only a few
selected scriptural texts. They have very little
respect for the Old Testament, seemingly suggesting that Old Testament personalities did
not have the written Word (or at least very little
of it), so consequently they did not “know”

very much. As a result, you will only hear them use isolated
texts from the Old Testament in their teaching. They seem
to completely ignore the fact that the entire framework
of New Testament context (thought) is derived from Old
Testament revelation.
(interpretation) of Scripture — all the while proclaiming
themselves to be “Word” people.
A great many of their teachers are teachers in name only.
They have absorbed a little teaching on the subject of
faith — and automatically consider themselves to be faith
teachers. They endeavor to draw aside followers after
themselves with their misguided efforts. Consequently,
this causes much difficulty in the body of Christ.
THE MASTER RACE (SUPERIORITY)
There is an air of superiority about these teachers, their
teaching, and their followers. They seem to place themselves in a position above everyone else. They are the
“new creation people.” They have “the knowledge.”
Sometime ago a preacher made the statement that
individuals today worship the Bible apart from God,
who inspired it. At first his statement puzzled me, but
after some thought I understood what he was saying.
Basically, he was suggesting that individuals (such as the
hyper-faith people) were taking Scriptures (such as Mark
11:24 or St. John 15:7) and pulling them out of context to
make them a type of magic talisman (good luck piece).
In other words, he was saying that particular Scriptures
are taken out of context completely and are used to deal
with situations, even though they have almost nothing
to do with the present difficulty of the individual. These
Scriptures are quoted over and over again — with the
individual using them as a sort of club to force God to
line up with their reasoning.
Also, they insist that Scripture that does not line up with
their way of teaching is (simply) just not relevant to today.
Again, we emphasize that they contend that if individuals
(such as the Apostle Paul) had had our scriptural knowledge,
they would not have had to suffer persecution and trials.
Of course, this is absolutely opposed to the teachings of
the Lord Jesus Christ. Humility was the Master’s great
hallmark. One of His last acts on earth was the washing
of the disciples’ feet. Superiority and lack of humility are
always of Satan. These never come from God. They reveal
the worldling, the ego of man, believers in the so-called
“master race.”
E.W. Kenyon may have derived some of his teachings from
the German philosphers. German theologians exerted
great influence on a large part of the Christian world just
prior to World War II. Some of these were also Gnostics.
This was the time when Adolf Hitler was propagating his
doctrine of the master race — even insisting that his efforts
were of God, saying he was a servant of Jesus Christ. Of
course, his demented philosophy resulted in World War
II and the terrible “holocaust” — the slaughtering of some
6 million Jews.
Some of these theologians found themselves comfortable
with Adolf Hitler, considering themselves (through knowledge) to be superior, or “the master race.” Their teaching,
sad to say, influenced quite a few of their contemporaries.
Then they go on to say that we are more experienced in
the Word today — and more “developed.” Consequently,
we know more than the apostles of old. Some would even
go so far as to include the Lord Jesus Christ among those
who were “unenlightened.”
The basic teachings of the hyper-faith movement incline
followers to the view that they are members of a superior
breed, or master race. They are told that they will continue
to be members of this superior group — that is, unless
they “slip” into using information from the “sense” world
around them.
What does this amount to? In essence, the hyper-faith
teachers basically deify the Bible — setting it apart from
the giver (the Lord Jesus Christ) of the Word of God. They
use it in a way God never intended. Most are honest in
their efforts and anxious to help people. In truth, though,
most of them know very little about correct exegesis
As a member of this superior mold (or master race) one is
made to feel that he is entitled to all types of riches and
rewards; hence, the “hundredfold” return gospel. These
teachers do not seem to realize that to demand a hundredfold return from God on our investment is to again
turn the temple of God into a den of thieves.
13
Basically, the so-called hundredfold return gospel — intertwined with a master race theory — has
little or nothing to do with the love of God. It has
little or nothing to do with a desire to promote
God’s cause, or to give to Him simply because we
love Him. At best it is an investment and a gamble.
At worst, it is a deception perpetrated by Satan. At
its core, it is little better than the Las Vegas practice
of enticing people into gambling casinos with the
selfish lure of “something for nothing.”
They must drive
the largest cars,
live in the finest
houses, wear
the best clothing
the best jewelry,
and so forth.
This is an image
they have to
maintain.
These teachers constantly hold the thought before
their followers that their faith (or knowledge) will
deliver anything they desire. Consequently, they
must drive the largest cars, live in the finest houses,
wear the best clothing, the best jewelry, and so
forth. This is an image they have to maintain. It
is somehow supposed to demonstrate their faith.
They are, in effect, role models for their followers.
As a result of this practice, the followers tend to look
to the Cadillac or the Lincoln (and other worldly trappings) as the mark of the individual’s (or teacher’s)
faith. One of the principal teachers in the hyper-faith
movement recently said that he was confessing a
Mercedes Benz for himself and a mink coat for his
wife. To hear this — considering the difficulties of
the world and the millions who are lost — one has to
wonder what it has to do with spreading the Gospel
and the love of the Lord Jesus Christ abroad.
GNOSTICISM—KNOWLEDGE
As we have mentioned, the basic word “Gnosticism” actually means “knowledge.” Not surprisingly, knowledge is the alleged foundation of the
hyper-faith movement. In some cases the word
“knowledge” replaces “salvation.” They seem
to infer that man is basically victorious through
his knowledge rather than through Christ. It
elevates him beyond his basic position as merely
mortal. He, in essence, becomes co-divinity with
his Creator.
As mentioned previously, this satisfies two perverted
needs in fallen mankind:
1. The need to be his own god, in control of all life.
2. The need to glorify himself beyond his proper
place in creation.
So the key to the hyper-faith movement is knowledge. You will hear this emphasized in much of
14
their teaching. Also as mentioned earlier, this is
derived largely from the teachings of E.W. Kenyon.
These teachers (not infrequently) use words like
“dummies” or “idiots” to characterize those who
do not believe in their particular way. This, of
course, is a demonstration of one of man’s basic
problems today — the problem of ego. Man wants
to “play God.” In actuality, he wants to be God.
This is (always was) Satan’s problem too, and he
has inoculated mankind with his desire for God/
man equality.
Satan tempted Jesus to misuse the knowledge and
power of God when he suggested that Jesus create
bread out of stones. Of course, the Lord gave Satan
the correct reply, but this same desire — to misuse
knowledge — is prevalent today.
The hyper-faith people suggest that there was
a basic lack of knowledge of the laws of healing
and salvation until Paul’s time. Consequently, Old
Testament saints (according to these teachers)
underwent many unnecessary difficulties because
of this lack of knowledge. Of course, this is absurd,
but it is their excuse for any Scripture which conflicts
with their misguided teaching.
Actually, there is a tendency to emphasize knowledge rather than salvation. It is as though one
becomes saved, but then becomes more saved as
his knowledge increases. This parallels some of
the thoughts of Gnosticism. It almost ignores the
blood atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As previously stated, the hyper-faith people
seem to believe that the Bible is a god unto itself,
needing little or no Deity behind it. They seem
to teach that the force of speaking the Word (and
knowledge of it) becomes all that is necessary to
bring about what has been spoken.
They appear to have lost the realization that
true Christian belief is that the will of the Father
and the words of the Bible are in perfect conformity; that they take life in us as we move in the
knowledge of God according to the leading of
the Holy Spirit — not in the bondage of a written
formula that was separated and apart from our
living Saviour.
When God’s written Word is apart from His person,
a scriptural code of law is developed. As with any
code of law, legalism must develop — and with it the
resultant condemnation whenever the believer
fails to keep one or several of the laws.
If you will notice, faith teachers are often
heard to say, “It was your faith that failed.
God can never fail.” Consequently, the
believer becomes the one following the law
to its maximum, and taking the blame for any
ensuing failure. The law, or “formula,” always
works! The only possibility of failure lies in
our faith — as revealed in our confession of the
words or formulas.
In view of all of this, they say we should lean
on our knowledge, which will then control all
circumstances surrounding us. These laws are
impersonal and divorced from any relationship
except that of their mechanical performance.
By and large, this knowledge removes the control from God and His will to an exercise of our
will, using the formula (or law). The line between
God and man blurs, and man suddenly seems
to become a law unto himself. Of course, this
totally ignores the fact that Jesus, although
He was the very Son of God, totally submitted
Himself to the will of the Father. It would seem
prudent for us to do at least as much.
This “knowledge salvation” imposes a great
burden on the believer. He mustn’t, under
any circumstances, “lose his confession.” If
he does, all the results of the forces put into
motion with the confession will be lost. Kenyon
himself said, “Action on the written Word of
God brings God onto the scene.”
It would seem, from this teaching, that God is
automatically stirred into action by repetition
of certain words of Scripture. Consequently,
the believer acts solely upon the substance of
his own faith world — guided by specific laws,
confessions, and formulas.

issue of The Evangelist.]
PENTECOST IN BRAZIL by donnie swaggart
Acts 2:2 – “And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing
mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.”
Unknown to
most, Brazil
is the most
Pentecostal
country in
the world.
IN MAY, I HAD the great honor of ministering in the city of
Fortaleza, Brazil.
The church that invited me was called (in English) Assemblies
of God Canaan, and is pastored by Jecer Goes. To my amazement, when I arrived, I found that the church had actual seating
for 13,000 people. To say that I was overwhelmed would be
an understatement.
Unknown to most, Brazil is the most Pentecostal country in the
world. It is estimated that 42.3 million people — 23 percent of
the population of the country — call themselves Pentecostal.
The message of Pentecost first came to Brazil in 1911 through
two Swedish missionaries — Gunnar Vingrer and Daniel Berg.
Though it was slow going at first in 1930, there was a Pentecostal
explosion resulting in many miracles of divine healings, which led
to rapid expansion of Pentecostal churches being established.
In the 1980s, there was another great wave of growth across
the nation as our telecast began to air across that land. Literally, multiple thousands of people were saved and filled
with the Holy Spirit. Churches were built that would hold
5,000–10,000 individuals in order to handle the great influx
of people. Many churches had to have service every single
night of the week to handle all of the new people coming into
the Pentecostal experience.
We held two great crusades in Brazil during the 1980s — Rio de
Janeiro and São Paulo. In both cities, the nightly attendance was
well over 100,000 people with the largest being in São Paulo
with more than 200,000 people in attendance.

PENTECOST IN BRAZIL
By his own admission, the pastor, Brother Goes, and the
church in Fortaleza were greatly influenced by Jimmy
Swaggart Ministries in the 1980s.
single aisle was jammed with people trying to come
forward. We know that well over 1,000 people were
filled that night.
During the May services, on Friday night there were well
over 12,000 people in attendance. The Spirit of the Lord
moved greatly with many responding for salvation.
After the service, the pastors were so thrilled with what
the Lord had done that night.
On Saturday morning I spoke to more than 800 pastors. I
was greatly moved by the number of pastors who told me
how much our ministry had changed their lives.
Saturday night was Holy Spirit night and, once again, there
were well over 12,000 people there. That night I preached
a message entitled, “The Altar, the Lamp, the Oil,” taken
from Exodus, Chapter 27.
As well, Brother Goes and his church will be distributing
between 5,000 and 10,000 Portuguese Expositor’s Study
Bibles to pastors across their state.
This trip was one of the most rewarding trips I have ever
made, and I look forward to returning next year.
In closing, Pentecost is alive and well in Brazil, and it is an
honor to play a part in this great move of God.
The emphasis of the message was the oil that was needed
for fuel so the golden lampstand could light the tabernacle. Of course, oil is a type of the Holy Spirit, respecting
anointing and illumination.
The Lord moved mightily that night. There were more
than 100 pastors sitting on the platform. Several times
during the service, as the Spirit of the Lord would move,
they would stand to their feet praising the Lord.
When I gave the altar call for people to be filled with
the Holy Spirit, so many came forward that there was
not enough room in the front to hold the people. Every

UNSAVED HUSBAND TRAVELS 1,600 TOTAL MILES
TO BRING WIFE TO EASTER CAMPMEETING
DEAR BROTHER SWAGGART, I just wanted to say what a
blessing it was to be at Easter Campmeeting. I love everything
about SBN, and my husband does too. He is not saved, but
took time off of work so he could bring me to Campmeeting.
Please pray for him. I hope to make it back one day, as it is
about 1,600 miles there and back. He took my Bible around
so that you all could sign it. God bless you in all that you do,
and your journey around the world preaching the Word!

DAUGHTER OF MEDIA CHURCH MEMBER SAVED
WATCHING SBN PRAISE AND WORSHIP
DEAR BROTHER SWAGGART, I am a Media Church member
and I am so proud of my church — the preaching this week is
beyond words. Thank you! I had dinner for my family today
and had it a little early, so when they arrived, the worship
service was on and my daughter said the sinner’s prayer and
gave her heart to the Lord — PRAISE GOD. I love you all so
much. God bless SBN.
WOW! How this has ministered to me. I am
watching everything I possibly can and now
my spirit has been revived. During the Campmeeting on Thursday morning, the Spirit of God
touched my heart and I had tears streaming down
my face and it felt so good to feel God again! Thank
you to your team and all the SBN ministry.

BELIEVER THANKFUL FOR SBN
TEACHING ON THE TABERNACLE
DEAR BROTHER SWAGGART, I just wanted to thank you for
teaching on the tabernacle. It has blessed me so very much.
I have your study Bible, and the first time I read about the
tabernacle with all your notes, it helped and now that you are
teaching on it, that really works for me because I am a slow
learner. God has really done some awesome things in my life
and opened my eyes due to SBN. I’ve been in a wheelchair
for 31 years now, but Jesus Christ saved my life years ago.
Without Him, I never would have made it through the last 31
years. You are always in my prayers. God bless you.

SPIRIT OF GOD TOUCHES STAGE 4
CANCER PATIENT THROUGH SBN
DEAR BROTHER SWAGGART, thank you so much for SBN. I
am a stage 4 breast cancer survivor, and, after being in remission for four years, the cancer came back in my right lung which
caused it to collapse, all the while I also had pneumonia. It
is inoperable, so I did two months of radiation then started
chemo. I have been living for God for 34 years, but through
the past five months I have been numb. I stopped reading my
Bible and praying. I was still believing in God, but not able
to move forward. I have been shut in, not able to be around
people and not able to go to church. Spiritually, I felt like I
was dying. I came across your SBN a few months ago and
SON REALIZES GOD MAKES NO
MISTAKES AND RETURNS HOME
DEAR BROTHER SWAGGART, you all have done so much to
change my son’s life through teaching what the Bible says on
so many subjects in today’s crazy world! He wanted to be a
woman, and I was heartbroken because I love him so much.
I prayed day and night that God would open his eyes as to
the nature of this sin. Finally, after two years, and after he
started the medical process, he came to the full knowledge
that he was so very wrong about life in general. I raised my
children in a Christian home and he is truly as the prodigal
son. He has come home! We watch SBN a lot, and every
day I see him grow in his faith. He realizes now that God
does not make mistakes, and that he was created to be male
not female. Thank you for your steadfast love of Christ
and getting the Message of the Cross out to so many lost
people in this world.

DEAR BROTHER SWAGGART, I tuned in to live service
today here in the U.K. and it was awesome as the presence
of God filled the house. And when I took Communion, the
power of God really came into my heart and I felt new and
refreshed. Bless and praise God for the ministry.

INTERNET VIEWER THRILLED TO SEE
SBN ALSO ON CABLE TV CHANNEL
DEAR BROTHER SWAGGART, I was changing channels
Friday, and there was your program, so I began watching.
I have been watching on the computer, but I was thrilled
to see it on TV. We have three TVs in our home, and I go
from room to room watching. I am the same age as Donnie,
and my parents have long been followers of your ministry.
Sunday morning in church I leaned over to my Mom and
told her that SonLife Network is now on cable channel 99.
My Mom smiled and said, “I know, your Dad and I watched
it all day Saturday and Saturday night.” Thank God for you
and your ministry.

LIVING A CROSS-CENTERED LIFE part i by gabriel swaggart
explain the excitement I have in writing this particular article. Anytime I have
the opportunity to write, I seek the Lord as to what He would want me to write, and I felt led of the
Lord to write on this all-encompassing subject: living a Cross-centered life. I personally believe,
and I believe this according to Scripture, that if the believer does not understand the Cross of Christ
relative to our everyday life and living, then we will never be able to enjoy this more abundant life
that Christ paid for us to have and enjoy. By the same token, if believers do not properly understand
Romans 6:3-5, then they cannot understand how to have victory over the problems in their lives.
I CANNOT BEGIN TO
When they put
Him in the tomb,
they put all of
our sins into that
tomb as well.
30
Rom. 6:3-5 – “Know you not, that so many
of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
(plainly says that this baptism in into Jesus
Christ and not water [I Cor. 1:17; 12:13; Gal.
3:27; Eph. 4:5; Col. 2:11-13]) were baptized
into His death? (When Christ died on the
Cross, in the mind of God, we died with
Him; in other words, He became our substitute, and our identification with Him in
His death gives us all the benefits for which
He died; the idea is that He did it all for us!)
Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death (not only did we die with
Him, but we were buried with Him as well,
which means that all the sin and transgression of the past were buried; when they put
Him in the tomb, they put all of our sins
into that tomb as well): that like as Christ
was raised up from the dead by the Glory
of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life (we died with Him, we
were buried with Him, and His resurrection was our resurrection to a newness of
life). For if we have been planted together
(with Christ) in the likeness of His death
(Paul proclaims the Cross as the instrument
through which all blessings come; consequently, the Cross must ever be the object
of our faith, which gives the Holy Spirit latitude to work within our lives), we shall be
also in the likeness of His resurrection (we
can have the likeness of His resurrection,
i.e., live this resurrection life, only as long
as we understand the likeness of His death,
which refers to the Cross as the means by
which all of this is done).”
THE CROSS IS THE ANSWER FOR
THE SINNER AND THE SAINT
As Romans 6:1-2 explains to us, the problem
that we encounter as Christians, which is the
sin nature, Romans 6:3-5 gives us the solution
to that problem, which is the Cross of Christ.
Understand that Apostle Paul, in Romans,
Chapter 5, explains that we are sinners because
of the fall of Adam, who was our federal head,
and because of his fall, we all have been cursed.
In spite of that, we can all be declared righteous through our faith in Christ and what He

LIVING A CROSS-CENTERED LIFE PART I
did for us at the Cross. In other words, for the sinner, the
Holy Spirit through Paul brings us first to the Cross. In the
sixth chapter of Romans, the Holy Spirit through Paul tells
the church of that day — and for all time — that the problem
we face on a daily basis is the sin nature, and how that the
Cross of Christ is the answer to that problem, as well. To
put it in simpler terms, the Holy Spirit takes us first to the
Cross for salvation, and keeps us at the Cross for sanctification. We must never lose sight of that great truth. The
Cross of Christ is the answer for the sinner, and the Cross
of Christ is the answer for the saint. That is why I maintain
that if the believer does not understand the Cross of Christ
for sanctification, then that believer will never understand
how to live for God.
WATER BAPTISM
When the Apostle Paul explains to us how we can live a
victorious, Christian life, he first of all takes us to the Cross.
“Know you not, that so many of us were baptized into Christ,
were baptized into His death?” Now, I’m going to offend
some of you reading this article, but as the saying goes, I
want to appease God and not man—this verse has nothing
to do with water baptism. Now, am I demeaning water
baptism? Not in the slightest. In fact, I believe in water
baptism, as I have been baptized in water, and encourage all believers to be water baptized. However, we must
understand first and foremost that water baptism does
not save anyone, but rather is an outward sign of what has
already happened on the inside. I will even say this: you,
as a believer, do not need to be water baptized in order
to make it into Heaven. All you have to do is accept Jesus
Christ as your Lord and Saviour to make it into Heaven. Paul
would say in I Corinthians 1:17, “For Christ sent me not to
baptize, but to preach the Gospel.” Was Paul demeaning
water baptism? Not at all. He was simply saying that the
only means of salvation comes by the preaching of the
Gospel under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which leads
a person to Christ.
might have the power of his sinful nature broken and the
divine nature implanted through his identification with
Christ — His death, burial, and resurrection — thus altering
the condition and relationship of that sinner with regard
to his previous state and environment, bringing him into
a new environment — the kingdom of God. God placed
us into Christ when He died so that we might share His
death and thus come into the benefits of that identification with Him, namely, separation from the evil nature as
part of the salvation He gives us when we believe. We
are placed in a new environment — Christ. The old one
was the first Adam in whom, as our federal head, we were
made sinners and came under condemnation. In our new
environment — in Christ — we have righteousness and life,
and our condition has changed from that of a sinner to
that of a saint.
The sin debt that has hung over our heads was completely
paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, which means
that Satan has no more claim over the sinner, and it was
all done by simple faith. It was all done at the Cross. Our
salvation was not paid for by the works of the church, or
by the rituals of a person, but rather by simple faith in the
finished work of Christ on Calvary’s Cross.
Æ This article will be continued in the next issue of The Evangelist.
“For Christ
sent me not
to baptize
but to preach
the Gospel”
ONE ENVIRONMENT TO ANOTHER
The word baptized in the Greek here is baptisma, and,
according to Kenneth Wuest, refers to a smith dipping
a piece of hot iron into water, tempering it. It refers to
the placing of a person in a new environment, or into
union with something else, so as to alter its condition or
its relationship to its previous environment or condition.
It refers to the act of God introducing a believing sinner
into vital union with Christ, in order that the believer
PAUL PREACHING THE GOSPEL

THE WALK OF GRACE by loren larson
Gal 2:20-21 - “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth
in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who
loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
The believer
begins his or her
true Christian life
by being born
again. This is that
moment in time
when the Spirit
of God unites the
believer with Christ
(1 Cor. 12:13).
OUR WALK IN CHRIST SIMPLIFIED
While some of Paul’s writings are difficult and
lengthy passages that are hard to understand,
others are so beautifully simple that they
almost take our breath away. Our chosen
text falls into this second category. These two
verses show the believers their current position, the way they are to approach this Christian walk, and the way not to approach this
Christian experience. As the New Testament
believers struggled with grasping the details
and applications of the new covenant, the man
to whom God had unveiled the entire plan
stood solid and sure. Oh, how we need these
simple, yet poignant, truths of the Gospel to
resonate deeply within our souls and spirits. In
just a few short statements, Paul encased and
displayed the Christian’s true walk of grace.
THE CURRENT POSITION OF THE BELIEVER
The believer begins his or her true Christian
life by being born again. This is that moment
in time when the Spirit of God unites the
believer with Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). We are
made one with Him, and all the benefits of
regeneration become ours. Our sins are
taken away, our names written down in the
Lamb’s Book of Life, the power of sin’s grip
upon our hearts is broken, and the Holy Spirit
32
moves inside to begin His office work. In
the mind of God, it’s truth that we — at this
present hour, being in Christ — sit with Him
in heavenly places. Again, in the future, we
shall rule and reign with Him. It must also be
understood that, at the time of His death on
Calvary, we were in Him. You see, God does
not rehabilitate humanity; He eliminates us in
Christ at Calvary. He then raises us up with
Christ and grants to us the availability of the
Holy Spirit, who alone can empower us to
live this Christian life. We are new creations
in Christ, yet we still live in this mortal coil.
Therefore, the goal of the Christian life is to
make the great exchange permanent. We are
to trade our lives away in exchange for the
very life of Christ to rise up within us. The
goal of the Christian then is not to imitate
Christ, but rather let the very life of Christ
rise up within — guiding, working, loving, and
filling our hearts with joy and peace. Since
we have all this, how do we make it work?
THE APPROACH TO DAILY CHRISTIANITY
With the work of redemption sure, we now
set out to please God and become all that He
has planned and desired for us. We will live
in this present form of flesh until the day of
the Rapture when we will receive our glorified
bodies. As for now, we live by faith. However,
THE WALK OF GRACE
we must have faith in what God’s Word tells us to have faith in.
Faith that God will recognize as true faith must be found to rest
in the person of His Son. That’s what Paul meant when he stated,
“And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the
Son of God.” Our focus is to be on the person of Christ. It’s
all about Jesus! But Paul didn’t stop there. He went on to say
that our faith must ever rest upon the greatest exhibition of love
ever encountered by the human race. That is the love expressed
by Jesus when He gave His life to grant us all the benefits of
salvation and sanctification. I must ever keep who Jesus is and
what He did for me as the object of my faith. In this way, and
only in this way, am I assured that His life will continually rise up
to change, protect, and guide me toward the will of the Father.
My faith must rest in Christ and the Cross!
HOW NOT TO APPROACH THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
Paul plainly stated that we will frustrate this wonderful
system — this process of grace — if we allow our faith to be
moved from Christ and Him crucified. The term frustrate literally means “to be cut off from.” Simply stated, if we place our
faith in what we do and not in what Jesus has done for us, the
power of the Holy Spirit and the working of God’s grace in us
can be slowed and even stopped. When the wrong object of
faith cuts the believer off from the only true source of power by
which this Christian life is to be lived, then all for which Jesus
died is in vain. To assure that we continually receive the grace
we need, we must ever look to Jesus and place our faith in Him
through every circumstance. If you weary of this process, then
look long and hard at the evidence of His love for you. His love
realized becomes fuel for your faith. Release all faith in things
other than the Cross. Even the good and correct Christian
disciplines, which we are called upon to practice, can pull us
from the right approach to daily living if we put our faith in the
doing of said disciplines. Keep your eyes securely on what He
has done, not in what you do, and you will come to experience
the true walk of the Christian — the walk of grace!
Why WEBC&S?
““Jimmy Swaggart Ministries and World Evangelism Bible College are very important to me because they
have had an incredible impact on my family. Both my parents were saved as a result of Brother Swaggart’s preaching. My mother was also barren, but God healed her and gave her three biological children. A few years ago, God answered our prayers and provided for us to live in Baton Rouge and be a
part of the work at this ministry. Near the end of my first semester of Bible college, I reflected on all the
life-changing things I have learned. What I have experienced has left a positive impact on me that has
increased my knowledge of the Word and how to apply it. If you truly want to learn more about the God
who made a way of salvation for you, then come to WEBC and experience the Message of the Cross.”
Lindsey Tevis louisiana
““As an audit student of WEBC, I have had the privilege of attending many of the classes where I had
real experiences with God. I am glad God does not leave anybody out of what He is doing here. I have
gained a better understanding of the Word of God, and of subjects such as the Message of the Cross,
how to share the Gospel, and the baptism with the Holy Spirit. We have an excellent faculty, with
ministers truly called by God, Spirit-filled, and Spirit-led. The college has played a vital role in helping
me to seek and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit. It has also provided a favorable environment
in which I could receive precious encouraging words from the Lord in times of need. It has been also
a blessing to see some of the young students growing in the Lord and developing their gifts over a
period of time; it is a great inspiration to witness the touch of God in their lives.”

THE LAND IS MINE part iii by john rosenstern
Leviticus 25:23 - “The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and
sojourners with me. And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.”
Today, we look
back to the Cross
of Jesus Christ
and what He
accomplished
there for us.
This must ever
be the object of
our faith.
OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH
TIME-TESTED FAITH
THE KINGDOM OF GOD operates on faith. Every
generation throughout the Bible was given a test
of faith to believe God. “Faith” is an ambiguous
statement though. Therefore, God gave to each
generation an object on which to focus their faith. In
other words, believing isn’t believing until it believes
in something, more particularly, that which God
gives us. The object of one’s faith determines what
that individual believes and trusts in. For example,
Abraham believed God pertaining to the promises
of a child and an inheritance of land. Because he
believed God, God accounted his faith for righteousness. Righteousness came by grace (God
supplying the source of righteousness) through
faith, but faith in God and what God promised him.
Throughout each dispensation, God would reveal a
little more light on His plan of redemption. Although
this series is dealing with God’s land covenant promises, we must understand that the land promised to
Abraham cannot be separated from God’s promise
of justification by faith. Let me explain: God promised Abraham that from his seed, the nations of the
earth would be blessed. Those who bless Abraham — and his seed — God would bless, and those
who would curse Abraham — and his seed — would
be cursed. From Abraham’s loins would come Isaac
and Jacob, i.e., Israel, the seed to which the land was
promised. Both the seed and the promise of the
land are intrinsic. The seed must ever cooperate
through faith by believing the light God has revealed
in order to possess the promises of God.
THE CROSS
Today, we look back to the Cross of Jesus Christ
and what He accomplished there for us. This
must ever be the object of our faith. We must
understand that by the Cross, Jesus paid the
debt of sin we owed God, which was death. “The
wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23). Because no
sin was found in Jesus Christ, Satan had no legal
claim against Him. “That through death He might
destroy him who had the power of death, that is,
the Devil” (Heb. 2:14). No grave could hold Christ
down! His sinless, perfect death was proven by
His resurrection. If one sin had not been atoned
for, He could not have risen from the dead. The
Resurrection is proof of His finished work on the
Cross. His death, as stated above, is where our
victory is, and where our faith must be placed.
Each generation would have to embrace God’s
promises by faith, just like Abraham. In the case
of Isaac, he would be constrained by the Lord
to remain in Gerar — located in the land of the
Philistines and better known today as the Gaza
Strip — during a time of famine and was commanded not to travel into Egypt. God would tell
him where to dwell and then would remind Isaac
of the promise he gave to his father Abraham in
Genesis, Chapter 26, Verses 3–5:
“Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and
will bless you; for unto you, and unto your seed,
I will give all these countries, and I will perform
the oath which I swore unto Abraham your father;
“And I will make your seed to multiply as the stars
of heaven, and will give unto your seed all these
THE LAND IS MINE part iii
countries; and in your seed shall all the
nations of the earth be blessed;
“Because that Abraham obeyed My
voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
SUBSTITUTION
Isaac grew great in prosperity before the
eyes of the Philistines. But it wasn’t until
he settled in Beer-sheba that God would
reveal Himself again, reminding Isaac of
the promises He gave his father Abraham.
Isaac would then build an altar to the Lord.
The expression, “build an altar,” meant
he made sacrifices to God. Isaac knew
that God was the One who supplied the
sacrifice because he was the one who
God spared and substituted with a ram.
The foundational doctrine of substitution — Jesus Christ died in my place for my
sin — was established in the story of Abraham being asked by God to sacrifice the
miracle child Isaac. God would call Isaac
Abraham’s only son. He was the promised
child (seed) to which all the promises of
God would pass. Abraham was again
tested, as was Isaac, to obey God.
ISLAMIC DECEPTION
In Islam, as discussed in earlier articles,
Ishmael is viewed as the child of promise. The fabric of contention by Muslims
is they believe Ishmael is the rightful
progeny and succession of Abraham,
being his firstborn. Islam believes Jews
are no longer awarded blessings by Allah
because they did not embrace Allah’s
last prophet, Muhammad. The collective Islamic nations — and virtually all
Muslims — do not recognize Israel’s right
to possess any of the land (today called
Palestine) promised by God to her.
Nations. On a sad note, the U.S. often
behaved in a manner that either opposed
Israel, or placed her on compromising
grounds with her Arab Islamic neighbors.
For example, soon after the British left
Egypt in 1954, Egyptian President Al
Nasser was expected to join the Middle
East Defense Organization (MEDO). This
was a brain child idea of U.S. Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles to defend the
Middle East region from communism and
protect U.S. interests, especially with oil.
Nasser would not join MEDO until Dulles
agreed to address his concerns over Israel.
The withdrawal of the British left friction
between Israeli and Egyptian forces.
Nasser insisted Dulles compel Israel to
forfeit land as a down payment on peace
before Egypt would join MEDO.
The offer appealed to Dulles since he,
“reviled the Jewish state,” and called it,
“the millstone around our necks.” The
State Department believed Israel could
achieve peace by ceding land to its
Arab Islamic neighbors. At the end of
1954, Dulles would arrange a mediation
attempt between Israel and Egypt with a
plan he devised called “Alpha.” It was a
covert plan in which Israel would give up
land for peace with Egypt. Israeli Prime
Minister Ben-Gurion explained how he
refused to reward Egypt for its aggression against Israel in 1948 — Israel’s War
of Independence.
A second effort by Dulles — this one
dubbed “Gamma” — was to arrange
a meeting between Ben-Gurion and
Nasser. Although the American emissary arrived in the region, Nasser had no
intention of discussing peace.
In a third effort by Dulles to get his way
in the region, he authorized another plan
that was called, “Omega.” Omega sought
to strengthen and promote Saudi King
Saud as an “Islamic pope” who would
supersede Nasser as the Arab leader. It
seems American policy since Dulles’ days
has been the mantra: “Land for peace.”
AMERICA AND ISRAEL TODAY
Israel is now facing its biggest test
of tolerance. For many years it was
understood and agreed that Israel and
Palestine were to negotiate four primary
components for a two-state solution:
»» Settlement building;
»» 1967 borders;
»» Right of return of refugees; and
»» Jerusalem divided, East Jerusalem
the new capitol of Palestine.
The first two negotiating legs that supported the negotiating table have been
kicked out by President Obama. Will Israel
be able to steer through the avalanche
of obstacles created by America’s current administration? Will the Palestinian
people be able to persuade the United
Nations to recognize them as a fullfledged member without negotiating with
Israel? Will America sacrifice its protection from God by throwing Israel aside?
AMERICA AND ISRAEL PAST
Has American policy always been in favor
of Israel? Harry S. Truman pledged America’s support and backing to the creation
of Israel in 1948. American support of
Israel enabled her to be recognized as a
legitimate sovereign nation by the United
TODAY: ISRAEL & THE MIDDLE EAST

THE VALUE OF CHILDREN’S MINISTRY by mike muzzerall
Prov. 22:6 - “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
WHY DO WE HAVE CHILDREN’S MINISTRY?
Last fall, I was asked that question. I thought I misunderstood
the man who asked me, but no. This man had heard a preacher
make the comment, “Children and youth ministries are unscriptural.” He went on to say that the family should be ministered
to as one group, seeing there was no mention of children’s
ministry in the book of Acts. If we were to use that logic, then
we would need to shut down SBN and any other form of outreach not specifically mentioned in the Bible such as ministry
to drug addicts or to pregnant teens seeking abortions. Clearly
there is an ongoing need for all of these types of ministries and
outreaches, but is there a biblical basis for children and youth
ministry? Do children, youth, and adults all learn the same way?
Is it possible to have an anointed, effective children’s ministry?
TRAIN UP A CHILD
One of the most powerful verses used in children’s ministry is
Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and
when he is old, he will not depart from it.” This speaks of a
continual, conscious endeavor to educate children about the
things of God until it is so much a part of their lives that, as
they grow up, they won’t depart from that right path.
“And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when
you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, when you
lie down, and when you rise up. And you shall write them upon
the door posts of your house, and upon your gates” (Deut.
11:19-20). As we see from this Scripture, every opportunity
should be taken to minister to children: sitting, walking, lying
down, and getting up.
It is a proven fact that children learn differently than adults do.
This changes during different stages of child development, so
why not teach them in ways that they can learn easier? Now
I am not against children being part of the main services, of
course not. However, sometimes an object lesson, a PowerPoint
slide, or a sermon dealing directly with what children or youth
are facing might help train them in the way they should grow.
REACH THEM WHILE THEY ARE CHILDREN
Here at Family Worship Center, we believe in children’s ministry.
God blessed and moved mightily in our 2014 International Kids
Conference, as well as during kids camps where we were invited
as guests to minister in Spartanburg, S.C.; Ottawa, Ill.; Palestine, Tex.; and Crosby, Tex. Children’s ministry is important.
If we don’t reach them in Salvation Station, and Pastor Gabe
doesn’t reach them in Crossfire, then we may find ourselves
trying to reach them later on through prison ministry.
WHAT DID JESUS DO?
This generation of kids is under spiritual and moral attack more
than any other generation in the history of mankind. They
need to know the Message of the Cross. They need to know
the power of the completed work of Calvary. They need to be
ministered to in an effective way. Jesus rebuked the disciples
for hindering parents from bringing their children to Him to
be blessed, as if being in the crowd should have been sufficient enough, as some say today. Jesus took time to minister
to individual children. He didn’t see them as an interruption
to ministry — He saw them as a different part of His ministry.
Pastors, won’t you do the same?
PASTORS, PLEASE NOTICE
PLEASE PRAY ABOUT THE FOLLOWING
Many churches that are just beginning find it very difficult to get musicians as it regards praise and worship.
Perhaps the following suggestion would be of some help: if
you would like, as many churches are already doing, you
are welcome to tape the Sunday service of Family Worship
Center, which comes to you by television. You can then
play the praise and worship back over your public address
system in your church, with the people singing along with
it, which will give you an excellent praise and worship portion. There is absolutely no charge for this, and we would
pray that you would take advantage of it.
There are many of you who are members of Family Worship Center Media Church, and many who aren’t but still
pay your tithes to this work, or at least give offerings, for
which we are so very, very thankful.
Donnie was in a church just the other day that had been
doing this for some months, and he said the response was
absolutely excellent. We want to be a help to you, and if
you would like to do this until you can get your own musicians, please feel free to do so.
FAMILY WORSHIP
CENTER MEDIA CHURCH
It just keeps growing and growing and growing. How so
honored and privileged we are to have thousands upon
thousands of you who are becoming a part of this ministry by the means of television, radio, or Internet. All
over the world, people gather together and have church
by watching the television service that comes from Family
Worship Center every Sunday morning. It comes on live
at 10 a.m. (CT) in America and then replays at 2 p.m.
and 8 p.m. (CT). Of course, we also have the Wednesday
night Bible study and the Sunday night service, which are
both aired also.
There’s nothing more important in the world than the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, and there is nothing more important than the Gospel of the Cross.
Thank you so very, very much for being a part of it.

If any believer will start out giving to God, and do so systematically, no matter how small it may be at the beginning,
I’ll guarantee you that believer will be blessed by the Lord
immeasurably so. If that person will be faithful and will
live with the spirit of expectation, I can guarantee this will
happen. The believer must trust that God is going to honor
His Word, which He most definitely will do and, thereby,
open the windows of Heaven. So, if you aren’t paying your
tithes, start out right now and see what the Lord will do.
Many might say, “Brother Swaggart, I would love to do that,
but I just don’t see how I can.” That’s the worst decision that
anyone can ever make.
The Lord said, “Prove me.” That means to put Him to the
test (Mal. 3:10).
In fact, even as I have previously stated, many people write
me asking, “Brother Swaggart, where do I owe my tithes?” The
answer to that is very, very simple. You owe your tithes to
that which feeds you. Like I said, it’s just that simple.
2014 INTERNATIONAL KIDS CONFERENCE
Of course, that’s a couple of months past; however, I felt I
must say something about it.
It was absolutely fantastic. Brother Mike and Sister Ana
just did a marvelous job in giving these kids something
that is very, very important.
Gabriel called Frances and me the Friday night of the camp.
He had just picked up Sam and brought her home. Brother
Mike preached on the Holy Spirit to the children, with hundreds present, then asked all who wanted to be baptized with
the Holy Spirit to come forward. Sam was one of them.
She is 7 years old. She had no sooner knelt at the altar
when someone laid hands on her and she began to
speak with other tongues as the Spirit of God gave the
utterance. To say that her mother and dad, her grandparents, and her great-grandparents are happy is a
gross understatement. How we thank the Lord for that.
BIBLE DEGREE PROGRAMS
Considering that this camp is growing so big, with hundreds and hundreds of kids all the way from 5 years old
up to 12, we are going to have to plan differently for the
hundreds that are going to come. We have the facilities here; it just takes a little planning to get it done.
In how many kids’ camps in the nation can little kids
get saved and then be baptized with the Holy Spirit?
I am sure there must be a few, but that number is
very, very low. We guarantee that when you send
your children to Salvation Station International Kids
Conference, they are going to get something that will
do them for time and eternity. In fact, that goes for
all the camps and conferences.
THE OFFERS
A lady wrote me the other day saying, “Brother Swaggart,
the material that we get from your ministry is A1.” I appreciate that very much because that’s what we try to do.
First of all, we try to make sure the content is that
which will educate you in the Word of God, whether
it be worship, preaching, or teaching. In other words,
we want to give you something that’s worthwhile for
your money, and we believe that we do. Whether it’s
the Bibles, the books, the music, etc. — it’s the very best
that we can do.
As well, as it regards the quality of the Bibles, books,
music, etc., we try our best to give you the very finest
production quality that money can buy.
In the midst of this note to you each month, I want to
say, Thank you, for praying for us daily and for supporting this work, without which we simply couldn’t do what
we are doing. Your gifts make it all possible. To be sure,
there is nothing more important in the world than the
Word of God, and there is nothing more valuable than
the salvation of souls. Thank you for helping to make
it all possible and for helping to change people’s lives.
