Editor’s Commentary BY PERRY STONE WHAT WILL THEY SAY ABOUT YOU? “Leave me as I am. For he who grants me to endure the fire will enable me also to remain on the pyre unmoved, without the security you desire from nails.” He prayed aloud, the fire was lit, and his flesh was consumed. The chronicler of his martyrdom said it was “not as burning flesh, but as bread baking or as gold and silver refined in a furnace.” His dying confession was known by everyone and is still told to this day! Your testimony before you die is a reflection of how you lived. When you die, words spoken are a reflection of Years ago, a friend told me that the perception others had of you. In the Bible, one king there are two things people will named Jehoram ruled eight years in Jerusalem and was so always remember about you wicked that he died with an incurable disease in his bowels - your entrance and your exit. (II Chron. 21:1-18). One phrase stands out that is not Most people have a very simple, found anywhere else in the Bible: “…and departed without non-dramatic entrance into the being desired” (II Chron. 21:20). One translation says he world, but many conclude their departed without being wanted (AMP), and another says, race with global recognition, “He departed with no one’s regret” (NAS). For example, leaving a legacy. Billy Graham will be such a man. Others do you think any Jew who survived the Holocaust missed jump out of the gate leading the pack, leaping over all Hitler after his death? What about the Kurds who survived hurdles, but towards the end of their ministry or life, their Saddam Hussein gassing their people — were they weeping faith or integrity begins to wane, and they end up alone in when the “butcher of Bagdad” was hung? The surviving an apartment with no personal care and nobody recalling victims of 9-11 are most likely elated with the death of memorable stories about their final days. Have you ever Osama Ben Laden. considered what will be said about you when you depart this life? When Moses passed away, Israel mourned for thirty Can you image someone living such a wicked life that people rejoice in their death? On the other side, there are people who have passed away and living ministers are days (Deut. 34:8), and the Bible’s closing comment about still preaching their sermons and telling their stories: Moses said, “And there arose not a prophet since in Israel Smith Wigglesworth, Oral Roberts, Vance Havner, Charles like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face” (Deut. Greenaway, C.M. Ward, and others. We are still reminded 34:10). When Joshua replaced the famed prophet as Israel’s of their faith that was passed on, just as Paul said to leader, it was said that Joshua “left nothing undone of all Timothy, “The faith that is in you, which dwelt first in that the Lord commanded…” (Josh. 11:15). Paul’s final your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I words before his beheading summed up his ministry: “I am persuaded is in you also” (II Tim. 1:5-6). We all learn have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have to follow examples that are influenced by other people’s kept the faith” (II Tim. 4:7). words and actions. According to church tradition, Polycarp, the Bishop In this light, I will say again that I am grateful for having of the church at Smyrna, was mentored by the Apostle a grandfather and father who were true examples of the John. This great leader became a Christian as a child, Christian faith and will always be remembered by those but was martyred by the Romans at age 86. After fleeing who knew them. This issue contains several special articles persecution, he experienced a vision and told friends he that I thought you would enjoy reading, related to my dad must die by being burned. After standing trial, soldiers and his departure. I want to honor him in one more issue of grabbed him and nailed him to a stake. His friends tried to the VOE. After all, his influence continues to live on and we prevent his martyrdom, but Polycarp stopped them, saying, miss him dearly. VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 3 Pam’s Corner I Believe God Spared My Mother Each year around the spring, my mother Stella Taylor travels from Tuscaloosa, Alabama and spends several weeks to several months with us at our home in Cleveland. Mom has always been a very hard working woman, and spends hours each day spring cleaning, helping in the garden, and simply hanging out with us and we greatly enjoy having her with us. She is also a great cook and helps cook meals which the kids and Perry really appreciate! This year, mother stayed with me through most of the month of May. She had discussed returning home earlier, but I encouraged her to extend her stay. On the evening of April 27, we turned on the Weather Channel to discover a massive tornado (in fact several) were heading directly for Tuscaloosa, together, like a nuclear explosion had hit the city. We were worried about one of mom’s closest friends we call Aunt Bobbie. Imagine our shock to discover that the tornado had leveled Aunt Bobbie’s house, throwing her about 50 yards, where a wall then fell on top of her! We learned that a young man, hearing her cry out, actually lifted the wall to get to her. She lived but received several injuries and was treated in the local hospital. Now here is the clincher: Whenever a major storm of rain or wind comes to Tuscaloosa, my mother would always go to Aunt Bobbie’s house. If the storm was a possible tornado, mom would get into the bathtub, as most people do, covering herself for protection. Normally, mom would have been at Alabama, were mom lived and I was raised. Within a few hours, pictures from the scene were flashed on the Weather Channel, and the devastation was unbelievable. I saw buildings were I had shopped and eaten and places I had personally visited over the years, stripped to their foundation with cars, trees and buildings mingled with Aunt Bobbie’s the moment the tornado struck. I believe it is quite possible that she would have been killed or greatly injured when the F-4 tornado swept the house off its foundation. However, mom was in Cleveland where we also experienced a series of tornadoes that took nine lives and destroyed or damaged over 300 homes. We gathered in the basement of our house and could hear the hail and powerful winds outside. Thankfully, we were all well. I believe this is a lesson on how important it is to listen to the still small voice of the Lord when it is time to travel or make a change. If mom had returned earlier, no one knows the possible outcome. However, thank God she was safe! ARTICLE BY PAM STONE Perry Stone, Ron Phillips & T.L.

XI B Y PERR Y S T ONE “And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth...” – Rev. 12:3-4 (NKJV) T wo books in the Bible, Daniel and Revelation, are filled with apocalyptic symbolism. Ancient symbolism was used to identify nations and even certain world leaders, both past and future. In Daniel chapter 7, the prophet identified major prophetic empires as a lion, (Babylon) a bear (Media-Persia), and a leopard (Greece). In John’s vision he saw rising up from the sea a beast that was a combination of all three animals from Daniel in one body — a body of a leopard, with feet of a bear and heads like a lion (Rev. 13:1-2). These three empires, Babylon, Media-Persia and Greece, cover the modern day lands of Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and areas of Greece and Turkey as the main territories. Some scholars have noted that, in Daniel 7, the three animal kingdoms of the lion, bear and leopard have a parallel with the symbols of certain contemporary nations. For example, the British seal and emblem of the British Empire is a lion. In Daniel 7, there were two wings of an eagle that were plucked off the Lion’s back, the lion was made to stand like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it (Dan. 7:4). America began as a British colony but separated from the lion of Britain and stood alone as a nation among nations. Eventually, the next major empire to impact the world was the Soviet Union, whose revolution in 1917 introduced communism to the world. The bear became a symbol of Russia and the Soviet empire. Following the bear was the leopard, which some have linked to Nazi Germany and the Third Reich. One of the main apocalyptic symbols in Revelation is a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns (Rev. 12:3). The Greek word for “dragon” is drakon and only appears here in the book of Revelation (Rev. 12:3-4,7,9,13,16-17; 13:2,4,11; 16:13; 20:2). The word actually refers to a large serpent, perhaps similar to the huge anacondas. In reality it was a seven headed serpent, and is identified as Satan himself (Rev. 12). In ancient culture the dragon was supposed to dwell in waste places and in wilderness areas (Is. 13:22). According to Adam Clark’s Commentary on Revelation 12, this dragon was an emblem of pagan Rome and noted that, according to ancient writers, the dragon standards of the Romans were painted red. The first standard of the entire Roman legion was an eagle, the standard and traditional emblem of Imperial Rome. Dragon symbols were later brought into the battle. The red dragon emblem is interesting, especially as it relates to one of the most powerful nations that has been quickly rising on the world stage in the end times. VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 7 That nation is China, whose emblem has been a dragon for centuries. China and the Kings of the East The dragon is a legendary creature found in the mythology and folklore of many East Asian countries, including China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and others. In the Bible a coalition of the “kings of the east” will unite an army and march from the east towards Iraq, cross the dead Euphrates River, and bring an army of “two hundred thousand thousand” or 200 million (Rev. 9:14-16; 16:12-16). An army this size has never been united in the history of the world — in John’s day there may have been a total of 100 million people in the entre Roman Empire. China has a population of over 1.3 billion with over 20% of the world’s population under their control. China’s government has a law that limits the number of children at one per household. Of course this law is geared for the poor and not the rich, since the wealthy often have more than one child because they can afford to pay the penalties. Families often abort a daughter and desire a son, as the son can carry on the family name, provide for the family and lead in ancestor worship. There are 119 boys for every 100 girls born in China. By 2020 there may be 30 to 40 million more boys than girls in China, which will cause a crisis since there will not be enough women to marry. These kings of the east will be marching for war, and some suggest they will be present at the battle of Armageddon (Rev. 16:16). The Chinese Dragon The emblem of a dragon being linked with China began as a symbol of the Emperor of China during the 8 Yaun dynasty. The dragon emblem was later placed upon flags. In Chinese imagery the dragon has large scales and is a snake-like creature with four claws, which were a symbol of power in Chinese history. It was associated with weather and rain, which is interesting related to the symbolism in Revelation 12. In the narrative, the dragon spews water from its mouth to cause a flood against the remnant of the Jews dwelling in the wilderness. In the 1970s the term “descendents of the dragon” was used by many Chinese people as their animal symbol. China is in the ancient orient, an area of the world identified for centuries as “The East.” The Biblical phrase “kings of the East” is interesting when we look at the New Testament Greek word for VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 “East.” It is not only one of the four directions on a compass, but the Greek word is anatole and refers to rising light or the dawn. It is a word used for sunlight. The name Japan in Japanese is Nippon or Nihon, and literally means “the sun’s origin.” Japan’s flag has a white background with a large red circle that represents the sun, which in Japanese is called Nisshoki. The land of the East, including China, Japan, North and South Vietnam, North and South Korea, are possibly the unit of the kings of the East who will make their trek to the Middle East. One critic wrote me and said, “How is this possible when there are no roads and only massive mountains separating the area?” The answer would simply be the “silk road,” which was and is a series of interconnected trade routes across the Asian continent connecting eastern, southern, and western Asia with the Mediterranean, North Africa and Europe. These roads have been used again in recent years. In fact, a man from Pakistan sent me news articles about a major road China was building that was large enough to haul large military equipment and a massive number of people. The road was leading to the Middle East! The distance from Peking, China to Baghdad, Iraq is 3,906 miles. However, China is supportive of radical Islamic nations and provides military equipment, the creation of bunkers, and support for governments including Iran! The support is based not upon religion, but on oil and gas available through Iran. In fact, China is growing so fast they will need a massive increase in oil in the coming years. China’s need for energy will increase 150% by the year 2020. By 2030, China will need the same amount of oil being consumed in the United States. At the present time, the U.S. uses 400 million gallons a day and 6.6 billion a year. Imagine the need for oil among these kings of the East, which are moving from bicycles to cars and other more industrial forms of transportation. Coalition Fighting Coalition The nations of the world will eventually form coalitions based upon regions, religion, and ethnic groups for survival. This is clear as the Antichrist will have his unit of ten kings under his control, and the Kings of the East are an Asian coalition. We also know that the European Union has 27 member nations with more planning to join, uniting with one currency, one passport, and a single unit without borders for trade. Even OPEC is an organization of oil exporting nations, and there are discussions of a western coalition called the North American Union, which could merge the US, Canada and Mexico. Once the Antichrist forges his ten king coalition, he will become “great toward the south, and toward the east and toward the Pleasant Land” (Dan. 8:9). Many Islamic nations are east of Israel, including Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. However to the extreme east is the land of the Asian tigers — China, Japan, North and South Vietnam — not including the massive Hindu nation of India. When the Antichrist seizes Egypt, Libya and Ethiopia we read that “tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him” (Dan. 11:43-44). Eventually, the Kings of the East will march across the dry riverbed of the once productive Euphrates River to the land of the beast and prepare for the battle of Armageddon (Rev. 16:16). In apocalyptic symbolism, the meaning of the dragon is explained in Revelation 12:9, which says, “So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Since the founding of communism, the color red has been used. The explanation for the color red is that, during the first socialist revolution under Lenin, the Bolshevik militiamen were referred to as “white guard” socialists. Shortly after Joseph Stalin came into power, he purged the Soviet government of all other parties besides his own (the NKVD). Stalin identified his socialist party as the “Red Guard” communists. The communist party flag was also red and in China the communist propaganda book given to the youth to promote communism was called the “Red Book.” The flag of the former Soviet Union was a hammer and sickle on a red background. Socialists used the color red as far back as 1848 and during World War II were identified by wearing red arm bands on their right arms. Early in the tribulation there will be a red horse rider taking peace from the earth, killing with a great sword (Rev. 6:4). Because communism is identified with red, and this red horse rider takes peace and uses a sword (war), some suggest this is an imagery of communist nations that will rise again early in the tribulation, initiating war and death. I have heard ministers say that communism has collapsed, but the current Chinese government is one of the greatest human rights abusers and persecutors of Christians, as well as people who protest the government. Vietnam and North Korea are also communist strongholds. The Soviet Union and its former satellite countries became open to democracy; however, the Asian region maintains a stronghold in communist doctrine and practice. This great dragon (Satan) of the apocalypse is red. Why red, and not any other color? In the Bible colors have meanings. White normally alludes to righteousness (Rev. 19:8). The color purple is kingly or royal, and blue refers to heaven (Exod. 35:23, 25, 35). Red (or scarlet) is often a picture of the blood, redemption, or the covenant (Rahab placed a scarlet cord in the window and was spared from destruction at Jericho in Joshus 2:21). Red can allude to Satan’s great anger and wrath (Rev. 12:12), the link to the red dragon emblems from Imperial Rome. Consider communism - VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 9 true communists are also atheists, because their god is the government. Consider the numbers of people slain by communist regimes. Out of 61 million people killed in the Soviet Union under communism, Joseph Stalin was responsible for 43 million of these, with 39 million dying in labor camps in the gulag and transit. An estimated 1 million have been murdered in China under previous regimes and countless thousands have been slain in Vietnam, Cambodia and Korea. Estimates indicate that communists have killed about 110 million people from 1900 to the present. Since the dragon, or Satan, is identified with the color red, it is clear that communism was, and is, one of the belief systems of the dragon. In this light, and the fact that the three letters of the beast are chi, xi and stigma, consider an interesting fact with the name Xi. The Man Named Xi Just as the animal symbolism marking ancient empires can have certain parallels among contemporary nations, the Bible also alludes to prophetic names in the original Hebrew and Greek languages that may have little bearing on the actual prophetic fulfillment, but are quite interesting. For example, the days of Noah are going to be repeated prior to the return of Christ (Matt. 24:37-38). This includes eating, drinking, building, planting, and being given in marriage (Matt. 24:38; Luke 17:27-28). Many other insights concerning the parallels to the end times are concealed in the story of Noah and the flood. We are told that “violence filled the earth” (Gen. 6:11). The Hebrew word for “violence” is chamac, and the root is the word hamas. Today the name Hamas Supporters hold up pictures of their loved ones, alleged victims of injustices, as they wait outside the trial of Chinese human rights activist Wang Lihong at Wenyuhe People's Court in Beijing on August 12, 2011. Lihong went on trial in Beijing on August 11, witnesses said, nearly four months after she was arrested as part of a widespread crackdown on dissent. 10 VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 is the name of the political and military wing of the fanatical Islamic organization that is continually initiating violence against Israel and the Jews living there! The prophet Zechariah saw a vision of a woman being carried in a lead basket to the plains of Shinar, the flat land of the ancient tower of Babel (Gen. 11) and the location of Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon (Dan. 1:2). This woman in the basket is called “wickedness” (Zech 5:8) and was carried to the land of Shinar, where we read, “So I said to the angel who talked with me, ‘Where are they carrying the basket?’ And he said to me, ‘To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.’ ” (Zech. 5:10-11, NKJV). Thus there will be a house of wickedness in the future in Shinar, the land known today as Iraq. In apocalyptic literature, a woman (such as the harlot in Revelation 17) can often refer to a counterfeit religious system or a false religion. The wickedness will be set in a “base.” In this passage, the Hebrew word for “base” is mekunah, and refers to a specific location. We have established that the Antichrist will have an Islamic background and will rise from the Middle East. Islamic tradition places the appearing of their awaited one (the Mahdi) to be in Iraq, either in Karballa or Samaria (depending upon the Sunni or Shiite traditions). Since this final dictator will behead resisters (Rev. 20:4) and use a sword to conquer, he will gain millions of Islamic followers that are classified as fanatics. Al Qaeda is one such Islamic organization that has global exposure and just won’t go away, recently increasing in membership and followers. This unit of scattered terrorists and fanatics is spread out in nations in and around the Mediterranean. It is rather ironic that the name Al-Qaeda means “the base.” Wickedness personified (Al Qaeda) means the BASE! One of the Shiite clerics who returned from Iraq after being exiled in Iran is Muqtada al-Sadar, the founder and head of a huge militia organization of Shiite Muslims called the Mahdi army, headquartered in Iraq. In the book of Ezekiel, we read about a coalition of Islamic nations invading Israel in a war that, according to Rabbis, Muslims, and Christians, is the battle indicating the time of the end. The prophet announced that the Lord was against “Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal” (Ezek. 38:2-3). There are many opinions regarding whom Gog is. However in the Eastern European nations, including the Russian confederation, there are men whose surname is Gog. God could be the name of a strong demonic prince spirit (Eph. 6:12) that rules over the region north of Israel, or may actually be the name of a commander that will direct the battle, leading the Islamic hordes with a northern coalition. This brings us back to the Mark of the Beast and the three Greek letters that are used to count the number of the beast. The second Greek letter is the letter xi. This is the fifteenth letter in the Greek alphabet and has a numerical equivalent of 60. It is interesting to note that in China, there are men whose name is Xi. One such man, who some U.S. observers suggest could become the future leader of China, is named Xi Jining, who now serves as the Vice President of China. According to Chinese history, Xi was an ancient Manchurian people. There have been discussions within China that, when this man turns 60 years old, he will become the new Chinese leader. Xi Jinping has led an important 11 member commission and oversees the 2.3 million People’s Liberation Army. His name means sunrise in Chinese. Could the name of this man be a prophetic preview of things to come in Revelation 13? Notice the odd parallels. There is a dragon and the mythological dragon has been noted as an emblem of China and former Chinese dynasties. China remains a communist nation and the color identifying communism is red, the same color of the second of the four main horses of the Apocalypse and the color of the great red dragon. China, with over 1.3 billion people, is not only the most aggressive and prosperous nation in economic growth and development, but will no doubt lead the Kings of the East toward the land of the beast, when they cross the Euphrates River toward Israel. The number of the beast, linking to his name, contains the Greek letter Xi, which is the same name of a powerful leader in China! There is no doubt that the great sleeping giant of China will take the place of the United States in military, technology and economic power in time to come.

VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 11 Special Message A Great Report: The Mantle Remains BY MARK CASTO It was on a Monday, three days after the birth of our second son, when I found out that Fred Stone was nearing the finish line of his time on earth. It was a desire of mine to have Brother Fred Stone lay hands upon me and release an impartation of the gifts of the Spirit (Rom. 1:11). I texted Perry and asked if it would be in order to go to the nursing home and visit Fred. Within the hour, I was standing in a small room with this noted Servant of God. As I stood looking at his frail frame, I knew that one of God’s generals would soon make his journey home. I also knew that while his physical body would eventually return to earth, Fred’s message and ministry anointing must be passed on to the next generation. After telling his dad I was in the room, Perry asked me to come beside the bed and pray a special prayer for his father. While we were praying, Perry suddenly asked me to kneel over at the left side of Fred’s bed. As I bent over the bed, I immediately felt the presence and anointing of God fill the room. Perry proceeded to tell me what was about to occur. Fred was going to lay his hand upon me and ask God for a special release on my life, just as Rufus Dunford had when Perry was eighteen years old and Rufus was laying on a hospital bed in his home before his departure. Fred had no strength to lift his hands, so I lay my head near his chest and Perry slowly lifted Fred’s hand to my head. As Perry and I began to pray, I knew that Fred understood what was occurring, as the power of God began to surge through his left hand as it was vibrating on my head. I felt a sudden heat travel through my body and knew that eapons!

Later that day I discovered Fred was left handed and when he had prayed for the sick, the anointing would always flow through his left hand. I was unaware of this when I stood on his left side. This was truly an honor and a memorable experience for my ministry and life. While Fred prayed the Holy Spirit revealed that the prophetic word would increase with visions and dreams and I would begin have new experiences in the Spirit. It was also prayed that I would have a special grace to pray for the sick as Fred had done for so many years! The following weekend I traveled to MacClenny, FL., to preach at First Assembly with pastor Joshua Potts. In the days leading up to these services, my spirit was stirred as I was eager to see the difference in the level of anointing in the ministry, as I literally could sense a new and fresh gift. The anointing was stronger on the preaching of the Word and the gifts of the Spirit flowed freely, including the word of knowledge and discerning of spirits (I Cor. 12:7-10). In this meeting, I witnessed a cancerous growth on a woman’s shoulder fall to the floor, as she was completely healed by God’s power. We also watched the power of God heal a 76-year-old woman who had broken her leg five days before the meetings. She was standing and worshipping the remainder of the week with no pain, swelling or bruising whatsoever. This confirmed in my spirit that the transfer had taken place and the mantle Fred carried was being transferred to the next generation, just as the example we read about in II Kings 2. I can truly say as months have passed that, just as Perry sensed a new and different level of anointing after the prayer encounter with his Uncle Rufus Dunford, I have felt and sensed a new anointing and operation of the gifts since that moment with his dad. I traveled with Dr. T.L. Lowery for three years and continually heard this prophet of the Lord speak of impartation and imparting before departing this life. If a man or woman of God does not leave a deposit of the Word, faith, or anointing to the next generation, they do an injustice to their own ministry. Moses imparted to Joshua and Joshua to the elders, but upon Joshua’s death he named no successor. Soon the people forgot the power and miracles of God and were led into bondage (Josh. 2:710).

ARTICLE BY PERRY STONE VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 17 A Special Moment I Will Always Remember By Jason T. Armstrong Thursday, March 10, 2011 was a day that marked my life, family, ministry and heritage. On Tuesday of that week, Mark Casto said that we were asked to come to Life Care and have Brother Fred Stone lay hands upon us and pray for us for an impartation. Having an understanding of Biblical impartation and how it can affect one’s life, my spirit was expectant. I knew this was a moment that would change things for my family and the ministry to which God had called us. As I drove up the hill toward the nursing home, I could feel my faith and expectancy level rising and could actually fell a sense of reverence in the atmosphere. Upon entering the room, I sat on the couch with Mark and we began to pray. Again the room was suddenly charged with the awesome peace and presence of the Lord. As we were praying, Bishop Tim Hill entered the room to visit and encourage the Stone family. He began singing old time songs to Brother Fred. As we joined in singing songs and hymns, the atmosphere became electric. I began to think to myself, “This is it — the moment of impartation.” 18 After singing, various visitors came in and out of the room to see Fred. At times the room was packed with 20 or more people. With many visitors, I didn’t sense it was proper or the right time to have Fred to lay his hands upon me and pray. I left that evening disappointed in my heart but with great faith in my spirit. Looking VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 back at that moment, I believe the Lord gave me an increased measure of faith in my spirit when I left the room. Mark and I left together to prepare for our regular Tuesday night service at the Extreme ministry in Cleveland. Perry mentioned that he would be back later that evening to spend the night by his father’s bedside and asked if we could return at night when there were no visitors. Without hesitation we said yes. God really poured out his Spirit at the Extreme that night and lives were impacted. We were unaware that no visitors were allowed into the nursing home after a certain time, and as the service went late I was unable to personally visit Fred and request special prayer. Doubt’s final door of opportunity came Wednesday when I had returned to work. Due to my schedule, I knew I was going to be able to visit the nursing home. As Thursday morning dawned I if it was okay to visit Fred and they said yes. Diana said to lean over the bed and just talk to him as I normally would (they say the last thing to go from a person is their sense of hearing). I leaned over his bed, called his name, gave him a word and vowed to him and the Lord that the message he carried about the blood of Jesus and his mighty acts would never fall to the ground. I left him knowing I would carry that message to the next generation. As these words were spoken Fred began trying to raise his head off the pillow and his lips began to quiver as he tried to speak. I don’t know if he saw was going on and looked at me and said, “You got it, it’s all over you!” In the famous story of the impartation of Elijah’s anointing to his servant Elisha, proof that a mantle was passed on was seen instantly. The last miracle Elijah preformed (smiting the Jordan in II Kings 2:7) was the first miracle Elijah performed after receiving the mantle (II Kings 2:14). Since the day of Brother Stone’s passing, I have experienced a great increase in hearing the Lord’s voice. Words of wisdom and knowledge and a spirit of discernment have greatly increased and have been flowing sharper and clearer. Just as the As Thursday morning dawned I heard a strong phrase in my spirit, “If you see me when I go,” a phrase Elijah said to Elisha before he was taken to heaven (I Kings 2:10). heard a strong phrase in my spirit, “If you see me when I go,” a phrase Elijah said to Elisha before he was taken to heaven (I Kings 2:10). At first I thought this was a conformation for a message I was studying for a Hebraic roots class. That day, my wife and I had plans to go to lunch, but as the time got closer I kept hearing, “If you see me when I go…” Suddenly, I felt an urgency and burden in my spirit. I told my wife that I needed to cancel our lunch plans because I felt heavily impressed to go see Brother Fred. My wife encouraged me, as she always does, to obey the Lord. Not knowing who was in Fred’s room or if it would be okay to visit, I went to his room and met his daughter Diana, his wife Juanita, and a family friend. I asked something, but in a short moment after this, Diana said, “He’s gone!” She looked at me and said, “He must have been holding on for one more person, and that person must have been you!” When she said this, I recalled the words the Lord gave me, “If you see me when I go!” Right then the presence of the Lord overwhelmed me and I sat down in a chair with a sudden rush of feelings and emotions that erupted inside of me. I felt joy, power, reverence, and at the same time I was weeping. Perry arrived within five minutes. I was still in the room and was overwhelmed with an awesome presence of God that had come to receive the spirit of his humble servant, Fred Stone. Without knowing anything, Perry realized in the Spirit what Apostle Paul told Timothy that he laid hands upon him and imparted spiritual gifts (II Tim. 1:6), I believe that this moment was a faith moment in which the Lord honored simple faith and allowed the same anointing of this man of God to remain upon those who believed God was able and willing to impart this blessing. Any impartation of gifts and power from God has its place, but for me it is more than an increase of the gifts of the Spirit. It is about a mandate to carry on a message and lifestyle of prayer, along with spiritual and moral integrity. How is this possible? Here is what the Bible says about it: “With man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26); then “Be it unto thee according to your faith” (Matt. 9:29). VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 19 Inside the Ministry “THE SHAPING OF STONE” ARTICLE The August 2011 issue of Charisma Magazine had several articles, two written by Strang Communications founder Steven Strang, that featured insight into the life and ministry of Perry Stone. The main article, “The Shaping of Stone,” gives you insight into the call of Perry and a brief review of the VOE ministry. The second feature was a Q & A interview answering prophetic questions, and the third article was an excerpt from the book Unleashing the Beast, which is available through VOE ministry. There were 110,000 copies distributed with a possible reading audience of 220,000 people, not including those reading online. We at VOE appreciate Steven Strang taking time to share with his readers insight concerning the ministry, and we believe there will be many families who will become familiar with Perry and VOE. ECONOMIC GROWTH IN CLEVELAND The state of Tennessee is a right to work state and is giving tax breaks to corporations moving here. Within a 35-mile radius of Cleveland, construction is occurring at a new Maytag plant, a German company that makes components for solar cells, an Amazon distribution center, a new airport, and a Volkswagen auto plant! It seems that Cleveland (and much of Tennessee) has not seen the level of economic depression as other parts of the nation, with the exception that many homes at auctions are being discounted up to 40%. Bradley County has about 300 churches, and many of the Christians have financially supported world missions and evangelism, including feeding the needy and supporting churches and orphanages around the world. We believe much of the prosperity can be based upon the past financial giving of Christians from various denominations. The seed sown for souls has brought favor to the people. Cleveland also has several denomination headquarters and major world ministries, along with a customer service center for the Sky Angel satellite ministry. We have observed that in many of the cities and states where the liberal way of thinking has ruled the roost, there is great economic crisis, Aerial view of the new Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN as well as high crime rates. The more morally conservative states seem to be performing far better than the regions known for their liberal morality. There is a great danger linked to many of the decisions being made that are contrary to God’s covenant. Perry calls this “legalizing abomination,” or passing legislation that will anger God and lift the hedge of protection and the hand of blessing from a region. We do pray that all believers will have a backbone of iron to stand against the wickedness that is spreading like a death cloud from coast to coast, and never be hesitant to voice their opinions publicly. 20 VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 THE SEAL OF SATAN BOOK Book eight of the series Unusual Prophecies Being Fulfilled has been written, printed and is now available at VOE.

VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 21 Inside the Ministry PRAY FOR AMERICA The nation at this moment is in serious crisis and under a spirit of confusion and division. May we suggest that we all pray that the nation would humble itself before God, turn from its wicked ways, and release God’s healing hand? There are too many fires, floods and damaging storms to simply be a weather cycle. Perhaps it is time to pay attention to the warnings in the Scripture. YOU ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND IN CLEVELAND Each Tuesday at 7:00 pm, young people and adults join together at the meeting place on Old Tasso Road for a time of great ministry in the word and and to receive a touch from the Holy Spirit. Normally, Mark Casto preaches the word, and Perry sometimes joins in the ministry to mentor the youth and participate in services. We see young couples and adults attending each week as they enjoy the Word and participate in the present and future plans of OCI (Omega Center International). In the fall we intend to begin an arts/drama team with the children and youth, and there will be seasonal conferences planned. Each Thursday at 8 pm, we have a “Fire at the Barn” prayer gathering where 25 to 60 people gather for high level intercession. If you live in or around Cleveland, you are invited to attend the services. 22 VOICE OF EVANGELISM : : JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011 THE STONE REPORT One way to keep updated on the ministry and our new products is through the Stone Report, a short video on our website at www.perrystone.org. Perry and Pam try to update the website articles about every 3 to 4 weeks, and you can also view the Manna-fest telecast online each week. Remember that when you purchase resource material, it is one way that the VOE is able to continue the outreaches. We also need steady monthly giving to fulfill the major assignments for the ministry. Your giving also provides opportunities for world evangelism through missions, aid to the poor, orphans and widows, and other forms of help that some would not receive without VOE reaching out its hands.

BOX CLEVELAND, TN NONPROFIT ORG. U.S. POSTAGE PAID CHATTANOOGA, TN PERMIT NO. 1114 CHANGE SERVICE REQUESTED This year, the Holy Spirit inspired Perry with these two messages, which he felt were a very important combination. Disc 1 is called “Breaking Satanic Covenants,” and exposes the devil’s strategy to bring your family under a covenant of premature death! Satan does this by building a Satanic “hedge” to prevent you from reaching them and getting them out of their stronghold. Disc 2, called “Breaking the Power of a Satanic Hedge,” will arm you with knowledge to defeat the enemy! Both messages were preached live.
