The Lord Showed Him A Tree
part i
By Jimmy Swaggart
Exodus 15:1 — “Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and
spoke, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his
rider has He thrown into the sea.”
‘Self’ is absent
from this song.
It is all about
Jehovah and His
power to save.
MOSES BEGAN AND ENDED his wilderness
life with a song.
That of Deuteronomy,
Chapter 32, is the one referred to in Revelation
15:3. There was no singing in Egypt; there was
groaning. Singing only follows redemption.
The song portrayed in Chapter 15 of Exodus
is the oldest song of praise in existence. The
greatest poets unite in admiration of its surpassing beauty and sublimity. It is a song of
praise. Its theme is Jehovah Jesus, one might
say. It praises Him for His destruction of the
enemy. It begins with redemption and ends
with glory.
There were two companies of singers—one
formed of men, led by Moses, the other of
women, led by Miriam. She and her choir
“answered the men.” This is the first of the 10
songs of praise recorded in the Bible; the last is
Revelation 14:3.
“Self” is absent from this song. It is all about
Jehovah and His power to save.
I WILL SING UNTO THE LORD
The first song recorded in the Bible is that of
Lamech, but it certainly is not of the Lord,
being a song that glorifies man’s inhumanity
to his fellow man (Gen. 4:23-24).
This song recorded in Exodus, Chapter 15,
celebrates the deliverance of the children of
Israel from Egyptian bondage and glorifies the
4 JANUARY 2016 THE EVANGELIST
Lord who has done the delivering. It is the first
song of praise and redemption simply because
redemption had been carried out in type. The
song was accompanied by tens of thousands
of tambourines, i.e., “timbrels,” which were,
no doubt, of every size and description. As
well, tens of thousands of Israelite women—
seemingly both young and old—danced before
the Lord to the accompaniment of the musical
instruments and the singing as they gave
praise to the Lord for His great deliverance
from Egyptian bondage. Consequently, as it
is recorded in the Word of God, Moses wrote
the very first gospel song, so to speak. He also
wrote the very first psalm (Ps. 90). More than
likely, he also wrote Psalm 91.
So, the very first thing we find after the
salvation and redemption of the children of
Israel is rejoicing. No wonder!
REJOICING
When a person comes to Christ (any person),
joy fills the heart simply because the enmity
between them and God, which was caused by
sin, has now been removed due to the shed
blood of Christ being applied to the heart and
life. This is all done by faith (Jn. 3:16; Eph. 2:89). So, this which the children of Israel did on
the far shore of the Red Sea portrays the joy of
the heart and the joy of the soul for what the
Lord has done.
THE
JIMMY SWAGGART
It is the only true joy there is and the
only true rejoicing there is.
This doesn’t mean that every new convert, or every Christian for that matter,
has to sing and dance before the Lord,
but it definitely does mean that there
will be a rejoicing heart. That goes
with salvation, and I really cannot
see how in the world that anyone
could come to Christ—which means
to be “born again,” which means that
they are now a new creation in Christ
Jesus—and not have a rejoicing heart.
CHRISTIANITY
As well, we are told that there are
seven major religions in the world.
Although not a religion, but rather a
relationship with Christ, still, Christianity is put in that category. It is the
only one of the seven that has a songbook because it is the only one of the
seven that has anything to sing about.
To show the reader how important
the right kind of music and singing is
as it regards the worship of the Lord,
we need only to look at the book of
Psalms, which is the largest book in
the Bible. This tells us what the Holy
Spirit thinks of worship, and it tells us
how that the greatest degree of worship is found in music and singing.
There are certainly other ways to worship God, but I think that the greatest
way of all, or possibly that which the
Holy Spirit uses more than all, is music
and singing.
MUSIC
Music, as devised by the Lord, is made
up of rhythm, melody, and harmony.
If any one of those three is hindered,
continuity is destroyed, and it becomes
virtually impossible to worship the
Lord by such music.
So-called
modern
contemporary
Christian music falls into that category. It may be referred to as “Christian,” but it is not Christian. While
the flesh may respond to such music, it
is impossible for the spirit of the individual to do so.
Most of these so-called Christian rock
entertainers, and that’s what they are,
look to the mainstream rockers as
their examples, which, to be frank, is
an abomination. The tragedy is, pastors will shepherd their young people
into these so-called concerts, which
have absolutely no spirituality, at
least as it regards the Lord. In fact, to
be blunt, clear, and plain, this particular type of music is of Satan. It’s not
of God, it has never been of God, and
it is abominable to even claim that it
is. Pastors who promote such stuff are
going to answer to God for the souls of
the young people under their charge.
INSPIRATION!
As we have already alluded, most of
these so-called Christian groups get
their inspiration from their worldly
counterparts. Now, think about that
for a moment, please! How in the
world can someone be inspired by
those who are controlled by demon
spirits and still claim that what they’re
doing is of the Lord? In fact, such is an
abomination before the Lord.
To be frank, the name of that game is
money. So-called Christian rock is to
the secular rock music scene as methadone is to the drug scene.
Radio stations that refer to themselves
as Christian and play that type of
music are actually promoting the
Devil. Christian television shows that
feature such fall into the same category. To be sure, the owners of such
stations, the deejays, and the pastors
of churches who promote this stuff, or
even who place their seal of approval
on it, once again, are going to answer
to God, and the answer is not going to
be very favorable.
Exactly as secular rock music, all of its
promotion of drugs, illicit sex, alcohol,
and murder contain a spirit of darkness that joins with the spirit of those
who listen to such so-called music. It
is the same identical thing with the
so-called Christian rock.

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 birth. 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).
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).
»»In the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin Birth,
in His Sinless Life, in His Miracles, in His Vicarious and
atoning Death, in His Bodily Resurrection, in His Ascension
to the Right Hand of the Father, in His personal future
return to this Earth in Power and Glory to rule a thousand
years (Jn. 1:1-4; Eph. 2:13-18; Rev., Chpts. 19-20).
»»In the Blessed Hope — the Rapture of the Church at
Christ’s Coming (I Thess. 4:13-18).
»»The only means of being cleansed from sin is through
Repentance and Faith in the Precious Blood of Christ
(Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:8-9, 13-18).
»»Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential
for personal Salvation (Jn. 3:5-8; Titus 3:5).
»»The Redemptive Work of Christ on the Cross provides
Healing of the human body in answer to believing
prayer (Ex. 15:25-26; James 5:14-15; I Pet. 2:24).
»»The Baptism with the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4 is
given to Believers who ask for it (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:1-7).
»»In the Sanctifying Power of the Holy Spirit by Whose
indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life
(Rom. 6:3-14; 8:1-2, 11).
»»In the Resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the
one to Everlasting Life and the other to everlasting
damnation (Rev. 20:5-6, 11-15).
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 fill

There is a bondage to such music
exactly as there is to alcohol, drugs,
gambling, and nicotine.
WIN THE YOUTH?
Win them to what?
Ten years ago, it was claimed that
such music would win young people
to Christ. What a ridiculous statement that is! People are brought to
Christ not by using the raw ways of
the world, or any ways of the world
for that matter, but rather by the Holy
Spirit. To be sure, He not only doesn’t
need the ways of the world, He absolutely rejects the ways of the world. So,
anyone who would claim such a thing
simply doesn’t know the Bible and has
no knowledge of the Lord per se.
However, most now are not even
claiming that such is winning youth to
Christ, but rather that it’s “good clean
entertainment.” While it might be
entertainment, it’s definitely not good,
and it’s definitely not clean. To be
frank, there are almost as many drugs
sold or used at these Christian rock
concerts as in the secular concerts.
That particular type of music, if it
can be called music, certainly doesn’t
glorify God. To be frank, to even
insinuate that it does is an insult to
the Lord.
A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Some years ago, Frances and I were
in Budapest, Hungary, in a particular
church for a service. Not being able
to speak or understand Hungarian,
I had no idea of the words they were
saying as it regarded the songs they
were singing; however, I did recognize
the melodies, and you could sense
the presence of the Lord as the people
were worshipping. While they sang in
Hungarian, I sang the same song in
English.
Just before the service was turned to
me, they had a young man sing, who
had just come from the United States.
He got up and sang a particular song
that he had learned in the states, which
he had translated into Hungarian. It
was one of the Christian rock songs.
As stated, that particular music has
no melody or harmony. As a result,
the people just sat there and stared
because there was nothing else they
could do.
As stated, it is impossible to worship
with that type of music, and to be
frank, who would want to try to worship with such being offered?
The people in the church little knew
me, if at all, and I did not know them
either.
barometer, then the churches in the
United States are in sad shape indeed!
There are exceptions, and thank God
for those exceptions, but they are few
and far between.
UNTO THE LORD
The song that Moses sang—along
with the children of Israel—was
evidently given to him by the Lord.
Immediately, it glorified the Lord,
speaking of the great victory that He
had brought about for the children of
Israel. It began that way, and it ended
that way.
I was either 8 or 9 years of age; the
exact year slips my mind. At any rate,
I had just been saved and baptized
with the Holy Spirit a short time
earlier.
So, what I was seeing was not staged,
but yet, was a perfect example of this
of which I speak. As they sang the old
songs of glory, they could worship the
Lord simply because the songs were
of the Lord. When the young man
sang, presenting the garbage—and
that’s exactly what it was—that he
had learned in the states, they could
not worship simply because worship to
such is impossible. Those who claim
they can worship the Lord according
to such simply do not know what worship actually is.
SPIRITUAL BAROMETER
One can pretty well judge the spiritual
barometer of a church by the type of
music that it promotes. The Spirit of
the Lord will portray Himself in this
particular category of worship as He
does in nothing else. As stated, the
book of Psalms is the largest book
in the Bible, telling us what the Holy
Spirit thinks of worship according to
music and singing. If, in fact, I am
correct about music being a spiritual
On a particular night in question,
while in church and observing the
evangelist as he played the piano,
the Lord put it into my heart to seek
Him as it regarded the talent to play
that particular instrument. I can
remember sitting beside my dad, and
all through the service, asking the Lord
for this particular talent. I remember
very vividly some of the things I said
to Him.
Being just a child, I knew very little
about sin, but I remember promising
the Lord that if He would give me this
talent, I would forever use it for His
glory. I also remember saying that I
would never play in a nightclub. That
is about the limit that I had of things
of the world at that particular time.
I can still see myself sitting beside
my dad. I can see myself praying,
and once or twice, my whispering to
the Lord must have become obvious
because my dad looked at me and
shook his head as if to say, “Be quiet.”
At any rate, I could hardly wait for the
service to conclude. I had asked the
Lord for this talent, and I believed in
my heart with simple childlike faith
that the Lord had heard me, and He
would give me that for which I had
asked.

When the service ended, I very hesitantly walked up onto
the small platform. Our church was very small, and the
musical complement consisted only of an old upright
piano.
To my recollection, I had never sat down on a piano stool
in my life. So, for the first time, I sat down and put my
fingers on the keys. Immediately, I began to make chords.
I did not know what the chords were, but I did know the
finger positions were right because it sounded right to my
ear.
After the service, my dad asked me where I had learned
those chords, for, evidently, he had heard me. I shook my
head in the negative and replied that I had not learned
them anywhere. Ignoring what I had said, he asked me if
I had been up to my aunt’s house, who had a piano, and if
I had been playing her instrument.
“No,” I replied!
He then asked, “Has Sister Culbreth (our pastor’s wife, who
was an excellent pianist) been showing you some chords?”
I again replied in the negative.
He then asked, “Well, have you been going to the church
to practice?”
Once again, I replied “No!”
“Well, where did you learn those chords?” he asked.
I remember my reply as though this happened yesterday.
I said, “I asked the Lord to give me the talent to play the
piano, and I guess He has already started!”
I don’t recall what he said then, but I do remember that he
very much approved of my request.
A GIFT FROM THE LORD
Some may remonstrate by saying that musical talent runs
in my family, and the Lord had nothing to do with what
talent I do have.
While it is certainly true that musical talent definitely
runs in my family, with two of my cousins being quite
prominent in the musical field, still, I believe that the Lord
gave me the talent that I have.
Along with the talent to play the piano, I believe He also
gave me an understanding of music that glorifies His
name. Whatever style I have was not copied from anyone.
The Lord gave it to me exactly as it is.
With our music, we have seen literally millions of people
blessed, stirred, encouraged, and strengthened in the Lord.
Of course, I give Him all the praise and all the glory.
JIMMY SWAGGART
our worship as it regards music and
singing, must glorify His name. As is
portrayed to us here very clearly, this
great song was sung by Moses and the
children of Israel.
I think we should conclude that the
Holy Spirit would desire that we use
this presentation as a foundation for
our musical efforts. As we will see, the
Lord is glorified throughout, with man
glorified not at all.
THE LORD
In respect to what I’ve just said about
the Lord giving me a knowledge of
music which glorifies Him, that doesn’t
mean that for music to glorify the Lord,
it has to be identical to the music that
I play. That would be facetious, to say
the least! But I definitely do believe
that it will be somewhat similar.
I will confess that when I read his note,
I was somewhat taken aback. But
yet, after a moment, I realized that
most churches have been so off track,
regarding the worship of the Lord,
for such a long time that they hardly
know what true worship is anymore.
Music is not neutral. It was originated
by God. The Word of God tells us
that when God created the Earth, “the
morning stars (angels) sang together,
and all the sons of God shouted for joy”
(Job 38:4-7).
WORSHIP
Once again, we go back to the book of
Psalms and realize that in every one of
the psalms and songs—for that’s what
the word psalms actually means—
the Holy Spirit gave the words, and
even gave instructions to the writers
of some of the psalms as to what type
of musical instrumentation should
accompany the psalm.
When we
realize this, we should then understand
just how important music and singing
actually are as it regards the worship
of the Lord.
Over the SonLife Radio Network and
the SonLife Broadcasting Network,
we play only music that originates at
Family Worship Center. Concerning
this, a man wrote me the other day
and stated, “Brother Swaggart, thank
you so much for putting the station in
our city (he was speaking of a radio
station owned by the ministry). You
are teaching us how to worship.”
I’m certainly not meaning that this
applies to all churches, for it doesn’t;
however, I definitely do believe that
it applies to most. As we’ve already
stated, music is a barometer, I think,
of the spirituality of the church.
When the spirituality begins to go
wrong, which means the pastor and
people are veering away from the
Word of God, it will tell first of all in
the music that they produce. So, when
I make statements about music, I am,
at least to a certain extent, making
statements in the realm of revelation
from the Lord.
In other words, I know somewhat of
that of which I speak. That’s at least
one of the reasons I cannot stand to
listen to modern so-called Christian
rock, or whatever it is, which is nothing
but a product of the flesh, and which
only appeals to the flesh. Then I hear
the voice of the Holy Spirit saying: “So
then they who are in the flesh cannot
please God” (Rom. 8:8).
That which we do as it regards
anything done for the Lord, especially
“The LORD is my strength and song,
and He is become my salvation: He is
my God, and I will prepare Him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt
Him” (Ex. 15:2).
The first phrase actually says in the
Hebrew, “My strength and song is
Jah.” In fact, the name Jah had not
previously been used. It is commonly
regarded as an abbreviated form of
Jehovah. It takes the place of Jehovah
here probably because of the rhythm
of the song. The “salvation” addressed
here refers to being delivered out of
the hand of Pharaoh and his hosts;
consequently, the children of Israel
were saved from destruction.
We certainly should get an idea from
this as to what the word salvation
actually means. Without exception,
it refers to what Jesus did for us in the
giving of Himself on the Cross as a
sacrifice. This satisfied the demands
of a thrice-holy God and, thereby,
delivers the sinner from the clutches of
Satan because all sin has been atoned.
As sin is the legal right that Satan has
to hold man in bondage, with all sin
atoned, Satan has lost his authority.
So, an authority he presently exerts is
a pseudo-authority.
In other words, any sinner can turn
to Christ if he so desires, and every
bondage of sin will then be broken.
Every Christian can look to Christ
and the Cross, and whatever authority
that Satan has exerted over him will
quickly fade.

JIMMY SWAGGART
Without actual emancipation, there
will be no song of praise. Who would
ever thank a ransomer who left him
in bondage?
DELIVERANCE
It is all in the Word, as given by Paul:
Jesus Christ and Him crucified (I Cor.
1:23).
HABITATION
“I will prepare Him an habitation,”
probably means in the Hebrew, “I will
glorify Him.” This is agreed upon by
most of the Hebrew scholars.
Moses was remonstrating by using the
phrase, “my father’s God,” that the
Lord had given promises to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. Those promises
had been kept in totality. Not one
had fallen to the ground. As a result,
Moses said, “I will exalt Him.”
The pronouns He, Him, Thy, Thou,
and Thee, as they refer to the Lord,
are found 33 times in this psalm!
How significant and how searching is
this! How entirely different from most
modern hymnology!
So many hymns today (if they
deserve to be called hymns) are full
of maudlin sentimentality instead of
divine adoration. They announce our
love to God instead of His love for us.
They recount our experiences instead
of His mercies. They tell more of
human attainments instead of Christ’s
atonement. As stated, it’s a sad index
of our low state of spirituality! Different
far was this song of Moses and Israel:
“I will exalt Him,” sums it all up.

JANUARY 2016 THE EVANGELIST
REDEMPTION
The first song of Scripture has
been rightly designated the song of
redemption, for it proceeded from the
hearts of a redeemed people. From all
of this, we find there are two parts to
redemption. They are:
1. Redemption is by purchase, which
speaks of what Christ did at the Cross.
2. Redemption is by power, which
speaks of the power of the Holy Spirit
that is made possible by the Cross of
Christ.
Some believers get redemption and
ransom confused. Ransoming is but
a part of redemption. The two are
clearly distinguished in Scripture.
It is said of Christ in Hosea 13:14: “I
will ‘ransom’ them from the power of
the grave; I will ‘redeem’ them from
death.” Again we read: “For the Lord
has ‘redeemed’ Jacob, and ‘ransomed’
him from the hand of him who was
stronger than he” (Jer. 31:11).
Ransom is the payment of the
price, which Jesus did at the cross.
Redemption, of which ransom is
but a part, in the full sense, is the
deliverance of the persons for whom
the price was paid. It is the latter that
is obviously the all-important item. Of
what use is the ransom if the captive
be not released?
The Greek word for redemption is
rendered “deliverance” in Hebrews
11:35. In the book of Revelation,
Jesus is pictured both as a “Lamb,”
which refers to the purchaser, and as
a “Lion,” which refers to the powerful
emancipator. On the Passover night,
Israel was secured from the doom of
the Egyptians. At the Red Sea, they
were delivered from the power of the
Egyptians. Thus delivered (redeemed),
they sang. It is only a ransomed and
redeemed people, conscious of their
deliverance, who can really praise the
Lord the deliverer.
Not only is worship impossible for
those yet dead in trespasses and sins,
but also intelligent worship cannot be
rendered by professing Christians who
are in doubt as to their standing before
God, and necessarily so. Praise and
joy are essential elements of worship,
but how can those who question their
experience in the Beloved, who are
not certain whether they would go to
heaven or hell should they die this
moment, be joyful and thankful? It’s
impossible!
Uncertainty and doubt beget fear
and distrust and not gladness and
adoration.

Proverbs 30:5-6—“Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.
Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”
I find fiction writers
some of the best
spiritual writers
whether they are
Christians or not,
religious or not...
—Eugene Peterson
ONE OF THE MOST frequent questions we
receive on Frances & Friends has to do with Bible
translations—their accuracy, credibility, and their
use by preachers in the local church.
In 2007 at a writers symposium, Peterson gave
a rare interview to Dr. Dean Nelson, the founder
and director of the journalism program at Point
Loma Nazarene.
The translation (as it is known) that seems to stir
the most controversy is The Message, which is
neither a Bible nor a translation.
Nelson questioned the influence and quotations
by fiction writers in Peterson’s work, including
authors Wendell Berry, Flannery O’Connor, Walker
Percy, Wallace Stegner, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Anne
Tyler, and James Joyce.
Yet for more than 13 years, modern churches
embracing a feel-good-about-yourself doctrine
have been encouraging their congregations to
trade in the Word of God for a book about the
Bible that reads like a secular novel.
The reason this thought-for-thought interpretation
is so popular is because many Christians know so
little of the Bible that it’s hard for them to discern
if what they are hearing from the pulpit is, in fact,
Scripture.
That’s what makes a book like The Message so
dangerous to the saved and to the unsaved. It
may have a biblical sound, but it is not the Bible.
It was written by an educated man, but it was not
inspired by the Holy Spirit.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The Message: The Bible In Contemporary Language is one of more than 30 books written by
Eugene Peterson—a retired Presbyterian minister
and former professor of spiritual theology.
As a lover of storytelling, Peterson often quotes
and references writers of fiction in his own books
and sermons.
In response to Nelson’s interview question,
Peterson said that as a young pastor, he experienced an “imagination conversion” while reading
Ulysses—a famously modernist novel by James
Joyce—which revealed to him a clear comparison
between the ordinary individuals in his congregation and the fictional book’s main character.
“I find fiction writers some of the best spiritual
writers whether they are Christians or not, religious
or not, they’re probing the ordinary world of our
lives,” Peterson said. “They’re great. I think pastors should read fiction a lot more than they do.”
This is concerning since fiction is defined as written
stories about people and events that are not real
and literature that tells stories that are imagined
by the writer.
Peterson thinks so highly of imagination and fiction that he confirmed to Nelson his belief that
all seminary students should spend their first two
years in literature training.
This point about Peterson’s love of storytelling and
fiction is important because a storyteller’s main

goal is to captivate and entertain an audience, not
necessarily relay a truth to them.
It was reaction from his audience—his congregation—that led Peterson to write The Message.
The book’s publisher, NavPress, quotes Peterson’s
reason for the project:
While I was teaching a class on Galatians, I
began to realize that the adults in my class
weren’t feeling the vitality and directness
that I sensed as I read and studied the
New Testament in its original Greek ….
I hoped to bring the New Testament to
life for two different types of people:
those who hadn’t read the Bible because
it seemed too distant and irrelevant and
those who had read the Bible so much
that it had become ‘old hat.’
So Peterson rewrote his own version of Galatians,
shared it with his congregation, and later included
portions of it in another one of his other books,
Traveling Light, which was read by a NavPress
editor.
The editor liked what he read and asked Peterson
if he would be interested in “translating” the entire
New Testament. Peterson left his pastorate and
started writing full-time.
Ladies and gentlemen, I point this out because
this is how book deals are made.
Editors and publishers know what books will sell,
and they know how to market them; that’s their
business.
In reality, The
It’s the publisher who called The Message a
“version of the Bible,” not Peterson, although he
does not argue the point.
disrespectful,
In an interview with Christianity Today, Peterson
said, “When I’m in a congregation where somebody uses [The Message] in the Scripture reading, it makes me a little uneasy. I would never
recommend it be used as saying, ‘Hear the Word
of God from The Message.’ But it surprises me
how many do.”
Message includes
New Age, occultrelated, and racy
street language.
Unfortunately, with the endorsement of highprofile ministers, authors, secular and Christian
rock stars, and politicians, The Message has been
marketed and pushed onto pulpits and into the
hands of pastors who are willing to compromise
and into the ears of undiscerning Christians. It’s
concerning that 10 million copies of this book
have been sold.
As Carl Brown pointed out on Frances & Friends:
“Professing Christians have no desire for the Word of
God, and that’s a problem because if you don’t know
what the Bible says, then anything goes, and that’s
what we see happening in this country—there lies
that vacuum because preachers are not preaching
the Word of God to people, and preachers who do
that are going to give a heavy account.”
WORDS IN THE MESSAGE
According to its publisher, The
Message is a “reading Bible”
written in the same type of
conversational language that
we use to speak with friends.
It’s been stripped of “formal
terms” (i.e., Lord Jesus) and
ver s e numb er s to make it
read like “one of your favorite
novels.”
In reality, The Message includes
d i s r e s p e c t f u l , N e w A g e,
occult-related, and racy street
language.
How can these t ypes of
w o r d s b l e s s , e n c o u r a g e,

regenerated by the Holy Spirit?

FRANCES SWAGGART
With the cut
of just four
words—"Hallowed
be Thy name"—
Peterson removed
the believer's
acknowledgement
of God's holiness
and reverence for
His name.
THE MESSAGE
KING JAMES VERSION
Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right;
Do what’s best—
as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you
and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You’re in charge!
You can do anything you want!
You’re ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
The comparison of the Lord’s Prayer between the
King James Version of the Bible and The Message
book should be enough to make any Christian
shudder:
With the cut of just four words—“Hallowed be
Thy name”—Peterson removed the believer’s
acknowledgement of God’s holiness and reverence
for His name.
With the addition of four words—“as above, so
below”—Peterson replaced God’s all-important
will being done with a well-known occult term.
The author of The Message decided that the curse
word damn should be used frequently as well as
these crude and sexually explicit terms throughout
his book: Scent of sex, sex orgies, slut, spreading
your legs, and hell-raisers.
These are words used by secular novelists, not by
someone inspired by the Spirit of the living God.
Much more could be said about this book that is
believed by so many to be an actual translation
of the Bible.
Again, The Message is not a translation of Scripture;
it is just a book that has gained popularity by
being endorsed by ministers of seeker-sensitive
churches, who are aligned with the same type of
agenda as outlined in the Purpose-Driven Life.
In my husband’s book, Brother Swaggart, How Can
I Understand The Bible?, he explains the meaning
of true translation:
14
Our present society is being flooded
with so-called translations that are really
interpretations or thought-for-thought
translations, such as the Message Bible.
Actually, these types of efforts cannot
even be construed as Bibles. At best
they are religious books.
The only translation that can be concluded
as the Word of God is a word-for-word
translation, such as the King James.
There are one or two other word-for-word
translations; however, with these I am not
familiar. But yet, there are several other
things that need to be said about the King
James translation.
As we have already mentioned, the King
James translation, despite being edited
several times, still contains a fairly liberal
usage of Elizabethan English. To all King
James devotees, and I am one, it must
be understood that the prophets and
the apostles who were used by the Spirit
of God to write the sacred text did not
speak Elizabethan English. As well, when
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were
originally written, the Words of Christ
were not in red. These particular words
in red are actually a marketing tool that
was not used until the 20th century.
And again we emphasize that while
the original manuscripts were most

FRANCES SWAGGART
definitely inspired by the Holy Spirit and,
thereby, error-free, doesn’t mean that the
translation is error-free.
No translation was inspired by the Holy
Spirit, and none to my knowledge were
claimed to be.
While there have been other translations
from then until now, the King James is
concluded by many scholars to be closer
to the original text than any other effort.
Down through the last several centuries,
it, by far, has been the most widely used
and widely known.
In this same book, my husband also offers a
comprehensive chronology that tells the dramatic
story of how the Bible was actually translated.
The timeline stretches from 1500 B.C. when the
Old Testament was put into writing to 1611 when
the King James Version was completed—the
version that has stood the test of time for more
than 400 years.
Compare these centuries of translation work to
Peterson’s so-called translation efforts where he
brags, “I did the Beatitudes in about 10 minutes.”
When asked if Peterson actually uses The Message
for his own personal devotions, he told Christianity
Today no, he does not. What does that tell you?
BIBLE STUDY
Church, the best way to avoid the danger of a book
like The Message is to read and study the Bible.
The Word of God tells us, “Study to shew thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”
(II Tim. 2:15).
TWELVE RULES FOR INTERPRETATION
OF THE BIBLE
1. Improve your ability in the tongue in
which you read the Bible. For example,
master the English language if the
English Bible is to be used.
2. Accept the literal meanings of words.
Apply to the Bible the same rules
(grammar, figures of speech, types,
symbols, allegories, parables, poetry,
prophecy, history) that you would to any
form of human expression found outside
the Bible.
3. Learn the manners, customs, and
peculiar idioms of the periods during
which the Bible was written.
Compare these
centuries of
translation work to
Peterson’s so-called
translation efforts
where he brags,
‘I did the Beatitudes
in about 10
minutes.’
4. Get acquainted with the geography of
all Bible lands.
5. Acquire a general knowledge of
the history of the Bible peoples and
kingdoms so that you can understand
Bible history as a whole.
6. Recognize the overall plan of the Bible:
the ages and dispensations; the ultimate
purpose of God to defeat Satan and
restore man’s dominion, rid the world
of rebellion, and establish an eternal
kingdom on earth ruled by God, Christ,
and the resurrected saints.
7. Recognize the three classes of people
dealt with in Scripture—the Jews, the
Gentiles, and the church of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Sometime back, my husband put together a list of
ways for believers to best interpret the Bible. He
said that anyone who will study these rules and
use them as a basis for Bible study will find the
Word of God opening up to him in a greater way.
The Lord will help you learn the Scriptures. As
you consider the following study helps, let me
close my portion of this article with a verse from
the book of Luke:
“And they said one to another, Did not our heart
burn within us, while He talked with us by the
way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures?”
(Lk. 24:32).
15
FRANCES SWAGGART
8. Keep in mind the historical background of each
book and the circumstances under which it was
written.
9. Never change the literal meaning of Scripture to
a spiritual, mystical, symbolic, or figurative meaning
unless this is done by God Himself. Take everything
in the Bible literally unless this could not possibly be
the meaning. When the language used is symbolic,
dig out the literal truth conveyed by it.
10. When studying the Bible, keep a complete
concordance to look up any subject that confuses or
compels you, and to unearth the true definition of any
Greek or Hebrew word where there is a question of
proper translation.
11. Be as analytical and honest with the Bible as
with any other book. Study it not to disprove it, but
to master its secret contents and to conform to its
teaching. When approached in this manner, you will
find it to be in unity.
12. It must be settled once and for all that the Bible
does not contradict itself, and all Scriptures on a
subject are in harmony. It has a way of confusing
its enemies and blessing its friends. The only thing
difficult about the Bible is that it is a very large book,
and it will take time to master its contents to the point
where you get a general understanding of it. Read it
over, and over! Practice its teachings, and it will soon
become a simple and practical book.

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO, PASSING THROUGH THE VALLEY OF
BACA, MAKES IT A WELL
by donnie swaggart
Psalms 84:5-6 — “Blessed is the man whose strength is in You; in whose heart
are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well.”
THE THEME OF PSALMS is trust, worship, and
praise. Psalms is meant to be a book of refreshing for the soul in the midst of difficult situations.
Bad times are
going to come,
but if you don't
give up, you are
just passing
through.
Psalms expresses the complete range of human
emotion and experience. It takes us from exaltation, to humiliation, and back to exaltation as one
learns to praise the Lord in every situation.
As well, Psalms is a book of music. Actually, Psalms
is the earth’s first songbook. It is a songbook of
praise and worship. Since the largest book in the
Bible is given over to praise and worship, then
shouldn’t praise and worship characterize the
majority of our communion and fellowship with
the Lord?
Also, Psalms is one of the greatest books of prophecy found in the Bible. Its principal predictions
concern the perfections, the sufferings, and the
succeeding glories of the Lord Jesus Christ. Its
prophecies give us a look into the glorious coming
kingdom age.
BLESSED IS THE MAN
The man who is blessed is the man who follows
the ways of God, which is His Word. His will is
His Word, and His Word is His will. We all have a
choice to make in life—to follow the ways of man
or to follow the way of God. Notice that man’s
ways are plural, for man is always coming up with
something new. God’s way is singular; it never
changes, for His Word can never change.
THE VALLEY OF BACA
Baca means, “the place of tears.” This tells us
that in the life of every believer, there is going to
be a time and place of tears. There will be a time
when it seems as if all we hold dear is ripped from
us. Our hearts are broken due to circumstances
beyond our control, or even at times, our own
actions and sin have brought us to the place of
tears.
PASSING THROUGH
Notice the text says, “Who passing through.” I
want you to focus on this. Notice that it doesn’t
say that this person didn’t stop in the valley of
Baca and buy a piece of land and build a house.
Get a hold of this truth. Bad times are going
to come, but if you don’t give up, you are just
passing through.
WHO MAKES IT A WELL
What does this mean? A well speaks of water, and
water speaks of life.
Visit my website at www.donnieswaggart.org
DONNIE SWAGGART
As well, water is a type of the Holy
Spirit.
The idea is to turn your weeping into
praise. If you do this, the Lord says
in Isaiah 44:3, “For I will pour water
upon him who is thirsty, and floods
upon the dry ground: I will pour My
Spirit upon your seed, and My blessing upon your offspring.”
In Chapter 43:2, He said: “When
you pass through the waters, I will
be with you; and through the rivers,
BRASILIA, BRAZIL
Evangelist Donnie Swaggart ministered
to thousands at Conferência do Reino
(Kingdom Conference) in Brasilia, Brazil
during his visit there in October 2015.
Brother Donnie said these were some of
the best meetings that he's ever had.
"These dear people were so complimentary
and thankful for what this ministry has done
in the country of Brazil," he said. "I had so
many people come up to me and relay
their stories of how their parents, or even
their entire families, had been saved while
watching the telecast. Some said that if it
weren't for the telecast, they didn't know
where they would be today."

they shall not overflow you: when you
walk through the fire, you shall not be
burned; neither shall the flame kindle
upon you.”
Turn your valley of Baca into a place
of worship.
No matter the hurt and no matter
the pain of heart, turn your valley of
weeping into a place of praise and
worship, and watch the Lord lead
you through the valley and into His
arms.
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!
by gabriel swaggart
FOR THIS MONTH’S ARTICLE, I was planning to finish the third part from the previous month’s article, but
seeing that it is the beginning of a new year, I wanted to take this opportunity to relay to each and every
one of you how special last year’s events were. As many of you know, the Lord began to lay it upon my heart
to hold one-night rallies throughout this nation with one message in mind—Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
Boy, what a year it was! Each city was special and unique in and of itself, and the results were mind-blowing.
BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA
We began in Birmingham, Alabama, where you could literally feel the
electricity flowing through that auditorium. The Spirit of God moved in a
tremendous way, and we saw hundreds of people walk down that aisle
to say yes to Jesus Christ!
To be completely honest, I was extremely nervous, for I really did not know
what to expect. However, the Lord knew, and He moved upon the service
in a tremendous way. To say I was pleased would be an understatement; I
think I could say that I was ecstatic! The people were hungry, and they
came to receive something from the Lord, and boy, did they ever!
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
Our next stop was to the great city of San Antonio, Texas,
and once again, the Lord did not disappoint. People came
from all over Texas, as well as California, Oklahoma, and
Louisiana. They came to experience the presence of God.
When I gave the altar call that night, the altars were flooded
with people who came forward to accept Jesus Christ as their
Saviour. There were tremendous testimonies that came out
of that particular service that I do not have the room in this
article to share, but I will say this: those who came forward
will never be the same again.

GABRIEL SWAGGART
LAKELAND, FLORIDA
The following month, we drove to Lakeland, Florida. Yes, you
did read that right; we drove to Lakeland, Florida, from Baton
Rouge, Louisiana. You may ask, “Pastor Gabe, why did you
drive to Lakeland?” Well, when we set out to do these rallies,
we knew that flying would be too expensive, and we wanted
to save as much money as possible.
Of course, the weight of the added expenses weighed heavily
on my mind. While asking the Lord for His direction, my secretary called me and told me that a dear friend of this ministry
felt led of the Lord to drive us to Lakeland absolutely free.
He is a personal friend of mine, who lives in the great state of
Pennsylvania, and whose family owns a charter bus company.
The only thing that he requested was that we pay for the gas
and a hotel room, to which I said "yes!" Todd and Tonya, I
cannot thank you enough for what you did for our group. We
simply could not have done this without you.
That Friday night, the Lord laid a word on my heart, “Ere The
Lamp Of God Went Out In The Temple Of Our Lord,” and we
saw hundreds of people flood that altar to accept Jesus Christ.
Personally, I felt that this was a turning point for our meetings,
meaning that I felt an anointing upon me that I had not
personally felt in the previous two meetings. I believe that it
was just the beginning of things to come.
SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI
The very next meeting was
special to me, for we would
venture in the great city of
Spartanburg, South Carolina,
where we would hold our
rally in the same exact venue
where my grandfather held a
crusade some 24 years previously. It was the one I was
looking forward to the most,
and it was the one that I was
most nervous about.
We capped of f our year in Jackson,
Mississippi. Now, for those who may
not know, I am part Mississippian. My
mom was born in Mississippi, and I have
family still living there, most notably, my
grandfather, Junior Robertson, who lives
in Louisville, Mississippi.
This auditorium was the
biggest venue of the year,
and I did not know what the
response would be. My heart
was pounding as I would
begin the drive to the auditorium and I was completely overwhelmed to
see the people literally wrapped around the venue.
This particular service was probably the
best one of the year, for the music was so
powerful that the people were filled with
electricity and were ready. I preached on
the subject, “The Doctrine Of The Baptism
With The Holy Spirit.”
The place was nearly packed to capacity, and God moved, once again, in
a tremendous way. As well, Todd and Tonya were so kind to drive us in
their charter bus from Baton Rouge to Spartanburg, and back to Baton
Rouge. It was a tough trip, but well worth the drive.
I had planned to go to Jackson so that
much of my Mississippi family could come
and be a part of this service. Thankfully,
many of them were able to come.
We saw hundreds come forward, with many
receiving the Holy Spirit. It was a tremendous moving of the Holy Spirit that night,
and it was a night that I will never forget.

““You can’t separate
Christ from the
Cross and the Cross
from the Christ.”
— Mike Muzzerall
Class: New Testa ment Survey
It was great to have many of my Mississippi family there. Jill
and I were also very pleased to have my sister, Jennifer, and
her husband, Cliff, and their two children, Harper and Harrison,
there with us.
As well, Cliff's parents, Marion and Wilna, were also able
to drive from Georgia to be with us in that service. My
grandfather, Junior Robertson, was able to come, and I was
so pleased to have him with us, for without him, this service
would have been incomplete.
In addition, to have my grandparents and my mom drive over
from Baton Rouge to meet us was quite an honor. I believe
that one of these days, I’m going to be able to have all of my
family come together to be in one of these rallies with Jill and
me to be a part of what God is doing through these services.

In closing, as excited as we are about what God did last year,
we are even more excited about what God is going to do this
year. I cannot wait until February, for we will be going to one
of my favorite cities, Charlotte, North Carolina. We will be at
the Ovens Auditorium in that great city.
So, if you live in Charlotte or anywhere around Charlotte, it
will be worth your time to be a part of the Gabriel Swaggart
Rally, where the Spirit of God is moving and lives are being
touched and changed by the power of God.
These are soul-winning campaigns, and we are believing the
Lord for a greater harvest of souls than what we have ever seen
before, for it’s not an event; it’s a movement! As the title says:
Happy days are here again!
Jesus Said It, I Believe It,
And That Settles It (15-650)
In John 4:50, Jesus tells a man, Go your
way: your son lives. In this anointed
message, Pastor Gabriel Swaggart
follows this man on his 25-mile faith
walk that starts with Christ’s word that
healed his son that same hour.
Includes:
• Praise And Worship (Joseph Larson)
• Trust In The Lord (FWC Choir)
• It Will Pass (Donna Carline)
• If Not For Grace (Martha Borg)
• This World Is Not My Home (Jimmy Swaggart)
• Sermon: Jesus Said It, I Believe It, And That Settles It
Reach Out Your Hand
And Take It! (15-636)
In this powerful message, Pastor Gabriel
Swaggart compares the believer to the
floating ax head in II Kings. The believer
is joined to the stick—the Cross of Christ.
Learn how the Cross alone can join man
back to God.
Includes:
• Hallelujah Anyhow (Bob Henderson)
• The King Of Who I Am (Grace Larson)
• King Jesus (FWC Choir)
• Sermon: Reach Out Your Hand And Take It!
I Am The LORD And I Will
Deliver You (15-635)
In Exodus 6, the Lord told Moses that
He would deliver Israel from Egyptian
bondage. Under the anointing of the Holy
Spirit, Pastor Gabriel Swaggart explains
how this same word given to Moses then
is also for the church today.
Includes:
• We Shall See The King (FWC Choir)
• I’ve Been Through Enough (Grace Larson)
• I Saw A Man (Jimmy Swaggart)
• Sermon: I Am The Lord And I Will Deliver You
It’s Real (15-644)
Preaching at the International Youth Conference, Pastor Gabriel Swaggart reminds
the church that the baptism in the Holy
Spirit is a real experience intended for
every believer. Anyone desiring to be
filled with the Spirit must experience this
powerful service.
Includes:
• Praise And Worship (Grace Larson)
• That’s The Kind Of God That I Serve (Dudley Smith)
• Sermon: It’s Real
• Bonus: You’ve Got To Be Born Again (Dudley Smith)
The Answer For All Anxiety (15-609)
Worry can do so much damage in a person’s life. In this anointed message by Pastor Gabriel Swaggart, Christians learn the
importance of changing their focus from
negative circumstances to Jesus Christ,
who cares about every detail of their lives.
Includes:
• Love Will Roll The Clouds Away
(Randy Knaps)
• So Faithful (Jimmy Swaggart)
• Take Me Through This Valley (Martha Borg)
• Sermon: The Answer For All Anxiety
The New Cart (15-643)
In one of the most controversial messages
ever preached at Family Worship Center,
Pastor Gabriel Swaggart admonishes the
church to wake up and realize that neither
believers nor the church should use the
sinful methods of the world—new carts.
Includes:
• Praise And Worship (Robin Herd)
• I’ve Got A New Song (FWC Choir)
• The Blood Is Still There/When I See The Blood
(Joseph Larson)
• I Know Who Holds Tomorrow (Jimmy Swaggart)
• Sermon: The New Cart
Borrow Your Vessels & Borrow
Not A Few (15-608)
Many Christians live as the widow in II
Kings—desperate to escape bondage and
poverty and helpless against the creditor
(Satan) from coming to collect. Pastor Gabriel Swaggart reminds the church that this
is not God’s plan for His children.
Includes:
• Hold To God’s Unchanging Hand
(Joseph Larson)
• If Jesus Goes With Me (Jimmy Swaggart)
• Wait’ll You See My Brand New Home (Danny Bishop)
• Sermon: Borrow Your Vessels & Borrow Not A Few

UNITED STATES OVER-THE-AIR (DTV) LISTINGS
For those of you who are not familiar with digital television, these are free “old fashioned TV channels” that are able to be picked up with a digital tuner and antenna. Most new
televisions are equipped with built-in digital tuners or you can purchase a tuner from your local electronics store (Best Buy®, Radio Shack®, etc.). As well, you can purchase
the proper antenna at your local electronics store. Many viewers under the broadcast signal of the television station can use a small, digital antenna inside the home. For those
on the outer edge of the signal or to receive the best signal, an outdoor antenna may be required. Both indoor and outdoor antennas are available for less than $50!

COUPLE IN SOUTH AFRICA RECEIVES GOD’S HELP
WITH MONEY PROBLEM
DEAR EVANGELIST: My husband and I are gospel singers and
like to listen to SonLife. A few years ago, Donnie was preaching
in our country in Kriel at Roepersfontein. They had a big tent,
and we were helping with the praise and worship. Donnie was
preaching and jumped off the platform and walked up to my
husband, put his hand on my husband’s shoulder and said to
him, “Brother, this boat will make it to the other side, even if
it’s battered, it will make it!” Now at that stage, we were in a
financial situation. We took that word and asked the Lord to
help us, and we came out of the financial problem. Please go
on with your good work; we pray for your ministry.

FAMILY THRILLED TO SEE SBN AVAILABLE ON
TELEVISION IN THEIR AREA
DEAR EVANGELIST: I was changing channels on Friday, I think,
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 also of your ministry. Sunday morning in
church, I leaned over to my Mom in church and told her that
SonLife Network is now available. 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.

DENMARK CHURCH INTRODUCES PASTORS
TO THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS
DEAR EVANGELIST: It it has been a great blessing for us listening to the Message of the Cross through several years. We
are a small church in Denmark trying to do our best to get this
message out to as many people as possible. God has opened
some doors in Scandinavia as well as in Poland and India. I was
so glad to hear that you will be sending the Expositor’s Study
Bible to many Indian pastors. For the last five to six years, we
32
have had seminars for preachers in different places in South
India trying to introduce them to the Message of the Cross,
mostly village pastors. Thank you for the inspiration we get
through your programs to know more and are even better
equipped to bring this message out to wherever the Lord is
opening a door. Last November, I was preaching in a conference in Norway about the meaning of the Cross in our daily
life. A Swedish lady said, “I have not heard such a preaching
about the Cross for 50 years.” We desperately need this message in Scandinavia. We are praying for your ministry. Please
remember us in your prayers. Once again, thank you so much.
God bless you abundantly.

WHEN JESUS CHRIST GIVES YOUR LIFE MEANING,
IT’S HARD NOT TO SHOUT
DEAR EVANGELIST: I was thinking about these people who
simply don’t understand why we get so excited about Jesus
and the answer you can give to the people is this: There are
those of us who know what it is to have God move and totally
change our life from a hopeless situation into a life full of
newness and restoration, and it is just not possible to be calm
about it. I mean, when Jesus Christ gives you meaning back
to your life, it is kind of difficult to just sit still and not jump up
and shout it to the world. You can tell them it is usually those
of us who have to depend on God the most because we are
the ones who have to have Him do everything because our
natural talents aren’t even worth considering. We just can’t
help ourselves because it is just plain exciting and worth getting up and shouting when we really acknowledge what He
has done for us! I just personally cannot see how you can talk
about Jesus and not get overly excited about Him! So, when
someone calls or emails and asks the panel about why we are
all so animated here at JSM, then just tell them, Mrs. Frances,
that we just simply can’t help it! Ha! Praise the Lord, and may
all of you be blessed immensely for your dedication to truth
in this world that is full of deception.

MEDIA CHURCH MEMBER IN ENGLAND OPENS HER
HOME FOR FWC SERVICE
DEAR EVANGELIST: I just want to thank you and thank God
for such a powerful ministry. I tuned into Frances & Friends the
other night and it was so powerful, I was just hooked for the
whole hour; I couldn't move. It’s like the power of God held
me there. I went to church Sunday morning (I’m a practicing
Holy Spirit-filled Pentecostal believer) and I just didn’t enjoy
the services, and I haven’t been enjoying church for a while.
But I went to a sister’s house (she no longer attends our church;
she’s a Media Member of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries and she
has church in her living room) and I joined her for service, and
I tell you it was powerful and anointed and when we took communion, the power of God just came into my heart and lifted
every burden! Praise God!

LORD LEADS SINGING BELIEVER OUT OF ONE JOB
AND INTO A BETTER ONE
DEAR EVANGELIST: I was in the middle of a horrible time in
my life. I had a job working in 100-degree heat, and we had
to wear long-sleeve shirts and blue jeans. Just when I did not
think I could go another step, the Holy Spirit was all over me.
A song began to rise up in my spirit! I began to sing:
Well I know my Lord is gonna lead me out!
I know my Lord is gonna lead me out,
I’m gonna pray and do the best I can, cause I know my Lord
Is gonna lead me out of this pilgrim land!
Well glory! Somebody ought to get happy because two weeks
later, I had a new job! In air conditioning! With better pay!
Glory to God!

VIEWER LEARNS SO MUCH MORE WATCHING SBN
DEAR EVANGELIST: To the wonderful panel on The Message
Of The Cross, I wanted to say that even though I’ve been reading my Bible from Genesis to Revelation since I was 13 years
old and I’m now 55, I’m learning so much and more when I
study with you all. Not that I haven’t been learning since I
was 13, but God has opened me up even more and I love
the commentaries! I’ve been setting my alarm clock to make
sure that I’m up and ready, and I have a Ladies’ Expositor’s
Bible that I study, along with the commentary. I’m thanking
and praising the Lord Jesus Christ for you all and for my life
and for my being able to study with you all. I love you all and
I pray God’s blessings continue upon us!

FANTASTIC TESTIMONY ON THE RESULTS OF GIVING
TITHES AND OFFERINGS
DEAR EVANGELIST: I listen to what you teach on tithing and
I want to give a fantastic testimony on the results of giving
tithes and offerings to SBN. I have someone who has no bank
account, so he gives me money and asks me to pay his tithes
and offerings. When I ask him where he wants me to pay it
to, he says, “Give it to Jimmy.” Well, since he has been giving
his tithes and offerings, he now has a job that pays $5 more
an hour with paid holidays. He has started a successful grasscutting business on the side. Someone gave him two riding
lawn mowers for free! One of his customers is moving out of
state and gave him—are you ready— another push mower,
an edger, a weed eater, a pressure washer, a small shed, and
a few other things! His motor on his truck was going out and
someone sold him one for only $400! He prayed putting it in
and was able to do it himself. When he needs something, a
neighbor will ask him to do odd jobs for them and pays him.
Oh boy, praise God, it works. I also am blessed and I now give
every month to JSM. It is all about where you tithe!

ANOTHER SOUL LED TO THE LORD ON SBN SHOW
DEAR EVANGELIST: What a program today! Nicki from
Kansas was just led to the Lord by Mike Muzzerall! I was

Another soul! My, my, my and glory to God!

Haggai 2:19 — “From this day will I bless you.”
AUTHOR'S NOTE
This word from the
Lord has had such
an impact on my
own personal life
that I felt that I
needed to share it
with you as well.
In searching for what to write as this new year
begins, my attention was drawn to an article that
I had previously written in December 2004—over
11 years ago.
Since this article was first written, Jimmy Swaggart Ministries (JSM) has launched the SonLife
Broadcasting Network. As well, World Evangelism
Bible College has blossomed in house and has
inaugurated its online programs, which are already
active in more than eight different countries.
Personally, I have watched my family “grow up”
and “prosper” in the Lord. I thought it would
be good to remind all of us of God’s promise by
reprinting this word. Time will not diminish a true
word or promise that comes from the Lord.
As we begin this new year, let us keep our eyes
on the prize— Christ Jesus—and let us dedicate
our lives to reaching more people than ever with
the message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
A few days ago, while conducting a SonLife radiothon, the Lord gave a word to those associated
with the radio network/Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.
It stemmed from the little book of Haggai and
concluded with the promise, “From this day will
I bless you.”
34
This word from the Lord has had such an impact
on my own personal life that I felt that I needed
to share it with you as well.
CONSIDER YOUR WAYS
The children of Israel had been held in Babylonian
captivity for 70 years. The Lord allowed a remnant
to return to Jerusalem after the allotted 70 years
had been served. The remnant was to rebuild
Jerusalem. Headed up by Zerubbabel and other
leaders, the tattered remnant made its way back
to a ruined and wrecked Jerusalem.
Their first task was to rebuild the altar (a type of
the Cross of Calvary).
Their second task was to rebuild the temple.
They were successful in laying the foundation
of the temple, but then strong opposition arose
to the work. Seemingly surrounded by enemies
and given an official order to do so, the remnant
stopped work on the temple.
For the next 16 years or so, they focused on building their own homes and prospering themselves.
It seems that no expense was spared in preparing
their houses, while at the same time, the house of
the Lord stood in ruins.
God called a prophet by the name of Haggai to
address the situation. He stood where he could
be heard and rebuked the relatively small remnant
living in Jerusalem.
LOREN LARSON
Our labor will involve a commitment to preaching
and teaching the Cross, the giving of our personal
funds, and intercessors who know how to call on
God. So gather your materials and prepare to
labor! This is the reason the church exists. It is not
that we should build our own homes, ministries,
etc. It is to promote the redemption plan of God.
A CALL TO BELIEVE
About 30 days after the labor on the temple had
begun, Haggai went to the remnant of Jewish
workers. His message was simple: “How do
you see it now?” This question was a pointed
exhortation to see that what they were building was
far more important than what met the natural eye.
The building on which they labored was almost
ugly in comparison to Solomon’s grand edifice.
He accused them, and rightly so, of focusing on
their own desires while God’s house lay desolate
and wasted. He went on to say that the reason
the people were not prospering was because they
had neglected the work they had been raised up
to do. In response, God had called for a drought
on prosperity in every measure and had “blown”
upon all the labor of their hands.
A CALL TO LABOR
As Haggai’s message sounded, it was accompanied by a great moving of the Holy Spirit. This
operation of the Spirit brought great conviction,
repentance, and a renewed zeal for the work
of God. The leaders and the people began to
gather materials to rebuild the temple and within
24 days, they were prepared to complete work
on the temple.
God is calling out to His people to “consider
their ways.” In many church circles, “knowing
God” has been degraded to simply receiving
earthly temporal and personal blessings. The
church’s true responsibility is to promote the
redemption plan of God (all that the Jewish temple
exemplified).
In a nutshell, we need to return our attention to
Christ and Him crucified and the presentation of
that message to a world that is hurting and to a
church that is dying.
However, the beauty of the temple was in its
message, not its construction. The message of
redemption is still what God sees as beautiful.
Haggai encouraged the people by saying, “Be
strong and work and do not fear, for the Spirit of
the Lord is with you to help you.” As laborers in
God’s kingdom, we are to labor and believe the
effectiveness of God’s message (Christ and Him
crucified) as we preach it or take it to others.
We need to return
our attention to
Christ and Him
crucified and the
presentation of
that message to
a world that is
hurting and to
a church that is
dying.
A CALL TO HOLINESS
Haggai would come a little time later and tell the
laborers that they needed to attend to holiness.
Holiness is not brought about by religious selfefforts. True holiness is produced by the effectual
working of the Holy Spirit in the heart of man. For
the believer today, the only route to true holiness
is by embracing the sanctification process that is
produced by trusting in Christ and Him crucified.
To embrace any other method of sanctification
makes the believer a “spiritual adulterer” and
“unclean” in the eyes of God. You must not only
accept this message, but you must reject everything and anything else other than this message.
A PROMISED BLESSING
Haggai addressed the remnant of Israel one time
after that, giving two separate messages in one
day. In the first of his two messages, he stated
the promise that came forth several weeks ago to
us here at the SonLife Radio Network and Jimmy
Swaggart Ministries. That message said, “From
this day forward … I will bless you.”

SUPERSESSIONISM
by john rosenstern
DOES THE CHURCH REPLACE, supersede, or fulfill the nation of Israel in God’s plan? Is the church the “new” Israel? This
theory is also called “replacement theology” or supersessionism. A modern term now used that makes this idea more palatable
is “fulfillment theology.”
IT MAY SURPRISE MANY Protestants
to know that there has been, and still
is, a large group that believes the
church inherits the promises that God
gave to Israel. Roman Catholicism has
embraced this thought process from its
genesis.
The term supersessionism comes from
two Latin words: super (on or upon)
and sedere (to sit). It conveys the idea
of one person sitting on another’s chair,
displacing the other. There are many
variations of supersessionism, as there
is with all error. It is not a one-size-fitsall teaching.
VARIATIONS
“Punitive” or “retributive” supersessionism
deals with God’s punishment of Israel for
her disobedience. The church replaces
Israel because Israel forfeited the right to
be the people of God by not accepting
Jesus Christ as Messiah. This teaching
was common during the patristic (early
church) era.
An example of this was Origen. He
said, “And we say with confidence that
they (the Jews) will never be restored
to their former condition. For they
have committed a crime of the most
unhallowed kind.”
Roman Catholic priest and reformer
Mar tin Luther embraced punitive
supersessionism. For Luther, the
destruction of Jerusalem was proof of
God’s permanent rejection of Israel:
“Therefore this work of wrath is proof
that the Jews, surely rejected by God,
are no longer his people, and neither is
He any longer their God.”
Adolph Hitler used Martin Luther’s
disdain toward the Jews to his advantage
by persuading many Protestants and
Roman Catholics to support his ethnic
cleansing of ex terminating Jews.
Replacement theology removes the
significance and importance of Jews,
and for that matter, God’s promises.
“Economic” supersessionism excludes
Israel’s disobedience and subsequent
punishment by God for rejecting Christ.
In this view the church was seen as
prefigurative in a carnal way in Israel.
Israel’s role in history is said to have
expired with the coming of Jesus. It is
now superseded by the arrival of a new
spiritual Israel—the Christian church.
All of those who are in Jesus, then,
are the true Israel. Some of the early
church fathers also espoused this view
of supersessionism. Modern popularity
of the view was advanced by Christian
philosopher Karl Barth.
“Structural” supersessionism focuses
more on God as a redeemer and
largely ignores the Hebrew Scriptures.
It renders them indecisive for shaping
Christian convictions about God’s work
in redemption.
The “New Testament priority” is viewed
as superseding the original meaning of
the Old Testament passages. Because
of this teaching, many Christians have
little interest and, therefore, little
understanding of the Old Testament.
ISRAEL’S FUTURE
The doctrine of supersessionism is
explained by our asking these questions:
What is the future of Israel as a nation
of Jews? Does the future of Israel
include restoration and repatriation to
the land God promised Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob?
Most supersessionists believe that there
will be a future salvation of Israel, but
there aren’t any who believe there will
be a restoration of the nation of Israel.
Salvation means that many Jews will
believe in Jesus Christ and be saved.
The concept of restoration includes the
idea that Jews will be replanted in their
land and given a unique role and mission
to the nations of the world.
JOHN ROSENSTERN
HISTORY OF SUPERSESSIONISM
Once again, the early church fathers had a big influence on
shaping attitudes toward the Jews.
Justin Martyr is considered very important in the history of
supersessionism because he was the first one to identify the
church as Israel. He would go as far as to say this: “How is it
that you (Jews) repent not of the deception you practice on
yourselves, as if you alone are Israel? ... We, who have been carried out from the bowels of Christ, are the true Israelite race.”
Origen said, “The Jews were abandoned altogether, and
possess now none of what were considered their ancient
glories, so that there is no indication of any Divinity abiding
amongst them.”
Augustine made some strong statements affirming the future
salvation of Israel. He credits that this view was “familiar” to
believers of his day. Salvation and restoration though are two
different thought processes.
Thomas Aquinas adopted the views of Augustine and by the
time of the reformers, there arose much confusion over Israel.
As far as her restoration is concerned, it wasn’t until dispensationalism came to light.
Today we have another miracle to look upon.
In spite of every effort of Satan to kill the Jews, God would
fulfill His promise to restore them to their land.
Next month, we will prove from the Bible, and history, that
God’s promises to Israel include restoration and repatriation
to the land he promised them.

MUZZER A LL
HOW SHOULD A CHRISTIAN VIEW NEW YEAR'S?
by mike muzzerall
BEFORE I ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST, New Year’s Eve was just another reason to party and to drink
and dance the night away. I was good at the first part and not so good at the second parts. Of course
we waited for the magical hour of midnight and then attempted to sing “Auld Lang Syne,” and saw
that most people didn’t know the words or their meanings. Then came the o-so-familiar New Year’s
resolutions, which usually didn’t last a week. So, how should a Christian view New Year's?
HISTORY OF NEW YEAR’S
CELEBRATIONS
“The earliest known record of a New
Year festival dates from about 2000
B.C. in Mesopotamia (Babylonia) which
began with the new moon after the
spring equinox” (Encyclopedia Brittanica). The Romans changed it to Jan.
1 in honor or Janus, the god of gateways
and beginnings. The Janus coin had two
heads—one looking to the past with the
other looking to the future. In Medieval
Times, most of Europe regarded March
25 as New Year’s Day. With the establishment of the Gregorian Calendar (A.D.
1582), New Year’s was restored to Jan. 1.
SUPERSTITIONS AND INHIBITIONS
The World Book states, “Many ancient
peoples performed rituals to do away
with the past and purify themselves for
the New Year.”
Kissing someone—a loved one or even
a total stranger—goes back to the
ancient Roman New Year’s celebration
of the Festival of Saturnalia (December).
In The Saturnalia, it says, “During my
week the serious is barred; no business
allowed. Drinking, noise and games and
dice, appointing of kings and feasting
of slaves, singing naked, clapping of
frenzied hands…such are the functions
over which I preside.”
Statius recounted, “December tipsy
with much wine, and laughing Mirth
and wanton Wit” (Silvae, I.6.1ff; also
Suetonius, Domitian, IV.1; Dio, Roman
History, LXVII.4.4). Kind of describes
the wanton revelry of today’s New Year’s
celebrations.
It was during this time that the Roman
magistrates and soldiers made their
annual “New Year’s Resolution” to be
loyal to the Emperor of Rome. Today,
resolutions run the gamut from losing
weight to becoming more organized.
IS NEW YEAR’S IN THE BIBLE?
The closest to the New Year celebration
we can find is found in Exodus 12:1-2:
“And the LORD spake unto Moses and
Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This
month shall be unto you the beginning
of months: it shall be the first month of
the year to you.”
This introduced the Passover.
This is where the similarities between
a biblical and secular New Year’s begin
and end.
First of all, it was a solemn time. There
were no bands playing, no noise makers,
and no dancing the night away. Instead
of sounds of laughter, homes were filled
with a holy awe in anticipation of what
God was going to do. There were no
superstitious acts done hoping for prosperity. The Hebrew slaves just wanted
to be set free. No one made New Year’s
resolutions. It wasn’t about personal
changes they longed for. It was about
the changes God was about to bring
forth in the lives of those who believed.
TAKE A MOMENT AND MAKE SURE
The indispensable part of their New Year’s
celebration was the Paschal Lamb followed by the application of the sacrificial
blood. God’s people started their year
making sure that they and their loved ones
were under the blood. Nothing else mattered. May I suggest that there is no better
way to usher in your new year than to make
sure that your family and loved ones are
covered by the blood of the Lamb? Please
take a moment and make sure.
MORE THAN CONQUERORS
by dave smith
Romans 8:37 — “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
Him who loved us.”
God does not promise to protect us
from having any problems, but He does
promise to either deliver us from our
problems or give us enough grace to
go through them in victory (II Cor. 12:9).
»» Loss of a spouse, child, parent,
close friend, or relative through
death or suicide.
Many people think that when they
become a Christian they should never
have any problems. This belief is
encouraged by the unscriptural teachings of extreme positive confession.
Looking at the life of Job and the sufferings of the numerous believers who
are honored in God’s hall of fame (Heb.
11:32-38) is all that should be needed to
counteract these false beliefs.
»» The spouse who wants a divorce.
WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE?
What should we do with our problems?
How should we react to the following
types of situations?
»» Not enough money to pay the bills,
put food on the table, or buy clothes
for the children.
»» The physical or sexual abuse of a
child or close friend.
»» A child who is addicted to drugs or
alcohol, becomes pregnant, runs
away from home, or is abducted.
The most important thing is not what
happens, but how we respond to the
circumstances. The message of the
Bible is that God is working to bring
good and growth for believers in every
situation (Rom. 8:28).
This may seem unrealistic and naïve,
especially when we are right in the
middle of a crisis, but this is what the
Bible declares, and it is supported by
numerous examples.
WHAT GOD ALLOWS
»» When doctors say that there is
nothing more they can do.
Jesus said that Satan’s plan and purpose
is to steal, kill, and destroy, but His plan
is for abundant life (Jn. 10:10). The devil
attacks us physically, mentally, and spiritually to entice us to sin and to destroy
our faith in God, but God allows Satan
to attack us for discipline because of sin
in our lives or to grow our faith and give
us greater victory.
»» A loved one who is seriously injured
or disabled.
Most of us believe that peace is the
absence of problems, so when problems
»» Loss of a job with no possibility of
another one.
»» Repossession of a car, home, farm,
or business, or bankruptcy.
»» A home that is burglarized or
destroyed by fire.
come, we pray that God will remove
them. We fail to realize that God has
allowed our problems and is trying to
work through them for our benefit. That
is why the Holy Spirit inspired Paul to
write “in all these things we are more
than conquerors.”
Paul emphasized this same thought in
Romans 5:3-5: “And not only so, but we
glory in tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation works patience; and patience,
experience; and experience, hope: And
hope makes not ashamed; because the
love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.”
James said something similar in James
1:2-4: “My brethren, count it all joy when
you fall into divers temptations; knowing
this, that the trying of your faith works
patience. But let patience have her
perfect work, that you may be perfect
and entire [mature] wanting nothing.”
Peter also wrote in II Peter 1:5-7: “And
beside this, giving all diligence, add to
your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance;
and to temperance patience; and to
patience godliness; and to godliness
brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
kindness charity.”
Next month, we will begin looking in
the Bible at specific examples of when
this happened in peoples’ lives in the
Bible.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It seems that it was just the day before yesterday that I said
the same thing for the beginning of the previous year. Time
seems to leap past us at such a rapid pace, but I thank the
Lord that my health is excellent, that I feel better than I’ve
felt in a long time, and that the Lord is blessing abundantly
so. I want this to be the greatest year that we’ve ever
had, and when I say “we,” I’m speaking of “you.” When
I say the best year, I mean in every capacity—financially,
domestically, physically, and above all, spiritually!
EXPECTING THE GREATEST YEAR YET
I believe that we are on the eve of the greatest move of
God that we’ve ever seen and, in fact, the world has ever
seen. While the Lord has not given me the year that this
will take place, He has, I think, told me explicitly that it is
going to take place.
When I say the greatest time or the greatest year, I’m
speaking of souls being saved, believers being baptized
with the Holy Spirit, deliverance coming to those who need
this great work effected within their lives, and those who
are sick being healed. Our Lord is able, and we give to Him
all praise and glory.
PLEASE NOTICE
I would urge each and every one of you to get a copy of
every book that we put out. We always cut the price as
much as we can to make it possible for all to get a copy,
and I do so for a reason. The material contained therein
is heavily laced with the Message of the Cross, irrespective
of the subject. That will be a tremendous blessing to you
in helping you understand the Word of God a little better.
No matter how busy you are and no matter if you have to
sacrifice to get the book, it will be well worth your while for
you to make it a habit of getting this material. I know that
42
we have information in all of the books that we put out
that cannot be found anywhere else, and, of course, I’m
speaking of the Message of the Cross. You need to know all
about this that you can, even to where it becomes a part of
your nature. That’s how important all of this is.
NEW FRIENDS
We have people from all over the nation who are moving to
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for the express purpose of attending Family Worship Center. How so pleased and happy
we are to have them. They are tremendous blessings to
the work of God, to the church, and to world evangelism
in general. Many of these people help us with the phones,
and how so much that is appreciated
I’m not telling you to move, but I am telling you to be led of
the Lord. So, if you have been praying about this, ask the
Lord to give you leading, and we will help you pray as well.
If it’s God’s will, we want you here!
DONNIE'S AND GABRIEL'S RALLIES
It doesn’t really matter where they’re going to be, wherever
that is (it’s listed here in the Evangelist), if you are in driving distance, you must avail yourself of the opportunity of
being there.
All of these rallies are one night only, and all have the
musicians and singers that you see on the television, plus,
of course, the dynamic preaching of both Donnie and
Gabriel. This I promise: you won’t be disappointed, it
won’t be a waste of time, and when you leave, you’ll know
that you have been to church.
Frances and I attend every one that we can, and what a
blessing! This I can say: Whichever you attend, you will
hear preaching that will lift up Jesus and music and singing that will cause you to worship. It will be a little bit of
heaven on earth.
FROM ME TO YOU
Actually, there is only one qualification, and that is to be
born again.
Are there any monetary charges? No!
That’s between you and the Lord. Of course, as you well
know and understand, it costs us money to come into your
homes, your hearts, and your lives 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
So, we encourage all of the people who are members of the
church to pay their tithes to the ministry; however, as I’ve
stated, that’s between you and the Lord.
People ask me all the time, “Brother Swaggart, where do I
pay my tithes?”
THE MEDIA CHURCH
We have an average of approximately a hundred each
week who join the Family Worship Center Media Church.
If I remember correctly, the biggest number we had in one
week was 375.
The answer to that is very simple. You support that which
feeds you. As I said, it’s just that simple.
Again, let us say a very happy new year to you, and we
pray that God will bless you abundantly, and I know that
He shall.
Irrespective, how glad we are to have these people, no
matter where they are in the world. To be sure, we have
people who are members of Family Worship Center literally from all over the world.
What are the qualifications to join?
In the Master’s service, yours,
Jimmy Swaggart

The Truth About Common Core
Education in America is being attacked by a system called Common
Core. It is anti-Bible, anti-God, and anti-democracy.
Frances Swaggart’s guests on her program explained the terrible direction of Common Core, and that which the people ought to know.
There are four hours of discussion on the two DVDs in this package. It’s
a topic which every American needs to understand.
15-648
The Truth About Catholicism
Is Catholicism Christian? Are Catholics saved? Regrettably and sadly,
if one believes the Bible, then no, Catholics aren’t saved. While there
are many Catholics who do definitely come to Christ, if and when such
happens, to maintain their position in Christ, they are going to have
to leave Catholicism.
15-634
The Truth About The Masons
Many believers think that the Masonic Lodge is a Christ-like organization.
It isn’t! In fact, the embodiment of Masonic teaching is anti-Bible. This
DVD will give you an insight into that which is believed by the Masons
and the far-reaching influence of this organization. Frances & Friends’
panel member, Jim Nations, expounds upon this all-important subject.
15-633
An Exposé On The Religion Of Islam
The world needs to know the truth about the religion of Islam. Unfortunately,
the world seems to escape this information. Of all the religions of the world,
Islam is violent beyond compare. The teaching given in this DVD is a must
for every believer. You should know what Islam really is.
15-622
The Truth About Jehovah’s Witness
Christians should know and understand the method of false doctrines.
The teaching taken from Frances & Friends, given on this DVD, will spell
out the direction of these false ways. Every believer needs to know the
truths that are vain in presentation. People perish for lack of knowledge.
We are very proud to be able to offer material that will be a blessing
to any believer.
Join Frances Swaggart, Donnie Swaggart, Mike Muzzerall, and Jim
Nations, as they discuss this all-important subject.
15-607
The Truth About Mormonism
Mormonism is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. The
great question is, “Is it biblical?”
If everything else is right, and our Lord is portrayed wrong, then the
religion itself is wrong, such is Mormonism.
15-606
The Truth About Seventh-day Adventist
There is nothing in the world worse than a false way of salvation.
Regrettably and sadly, even though there are many good Adventist
people, still, its direction is unscriptural. Every believer needs to know
what this particular doctrine teaches. Follow along as Frances &
Friends’ panel member, Mike Muzzerall, shows and explains the various
teachings of this religion.
15-632
How To Be Led By The Spirit
(Romans 8:14) (07-541)
Christians not led by the Spirit are
led by the flesh, which proves to
be disastrous. Learn what it means
to be led by the Spirit and how the
Holy Spirit accomplishes His work in
the life of the believer.
Walking After The Flesh —
Walking After The Spirit
(Romans 8:1) (07-527)
When it comes to living a life of victory, it is imperative that every Christian
understands the difference between
waking after the Spirit, where there
is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and
walking after the flesh.
Tongues And Interpretation
(I Corinthians, Chs. 12, 14) (07-526)
Without a doubt, the most used gifts
in the church today are the gifts of
tongues and the interpretation of
tongues. Unfortunately, these gifts
are often misused. This teaching
explains what these gifts are and how they should be used.
Tongues And Their Operation
(Acts, Chs. 2, 8-10, 19;
Isaiah 28:11-12) (07-520)
When a Christian is baptized in
the Holy Spirit, the initial physical
evidence of this infilling is speaking
with tongues. Using the book of Acts,
Brother Swaggart teaches on the value that tongues adds
to the lives of all believers.
The Holy Spirit: A Separate
Work Of Grace
(Acts, Chs. 2, 8-10, 19) (07-522)
Believers who are not baptized with
the Spirit will accomplish little for
the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? This
message answers that question and
teaches how the Lord only accepts that which is conceived
and carried out by the Holy Spirit.
The Value Of Speaking With
Other Tongues
(Acts, Chs. 2, 8-10, 19) (07-519)
In this teaching about speaking with
tongues, Brother Swaggart takes Scriptures from the book of Acts to answer
several questions about this initial
physical evidence, which is demonstrated by every Christian
who experiences the mighty baptism in the Holy Spirit.
The Baptism With The Holy
Spirit (The Book Of Acts) (07-521)
In this teaching, Brother Swaggart
walks listeners through the book of
Acts and explains, biblically, how the
baptism of the Holy Spirit is still for
today, is an experience beyond salvation, and is commanded for every single believer to receive.
The Operation Of The Gifts
(I Corinthians, Ch. 12) (07-525)
Exactly how do the gifts of the Holy
Spirit operate? Brother Swaggart
gives the answer in this important
teaching from I Corinthians, Chapter
12. Every Christian should have a
complete understanding of this important truth from the
Word of God.
The Function Of The Holy Spirit
(The Book Of Acts And
Romans, Ch. 8) (07-518)
The precious Holy Spirit, the third
person of the Godhead, plays a
specific role in the lives of believers.
Brother Swaggart draws from Romans
8 to lay the foundation for how the Holy Spirit works—His
function and His manner.
The Gifts Of The Spirit
(I Corinthians 12:8-10) (07-524)
The child of God who does not
know what the gifts of the Holy Spirit
are or how they work is an unlikely
recipient. Learn about each gift mentioned by the great apostle Paul in
this teaching by Brother Swaggart.
