THE REVELATION THE CALL OF GOD The phrase, “Now the LORD had said unto Abraham,” if it is to be noticed, refers to instructions that had been given to the patriarch sometime previously. Whatever it is that God calls us to do, it is always beyond what we would, at first, see or think. Embodied in the call, is not only a work to be done, but, as well, the ingredients for spiritual growth. With the Holy Spirit, it is always growth. And to be frank, the growth must be brought about or the work cannot be done. And here I would dwell, for a little, on the Cross of Christ. There is only one way all of this can be achieved, and that’s by and through the Cross. If we do not understand the Cross, then we cannot really understand the way of God. In fact, if the Cross is removed from Christianity, Christianity then loses its Power (I Cor. 1:18), and for all practical purposes, becomes little more than the religions of the world. While it might have a better ethic, it’s an ethic that really cannot be reached without the Cross. Chapter 12 of Genesis is very important, for it records the first steps of this great believer in the path of faith. There were believers before him (a few), but the Scripture speaks of him as the father of all believers who would come after him (Rom. 4:16). While Abraham obeyed, it seems that family ties, at first, held him back. Though called to Canaan he, nevertheless, tarried at Haran till nature’s tie was snapped by death, and then, with unimpeded step, he made his way to the place to which the God of glory had called him. All of this is very full of meaning. The flesh is ever a hindrance to the full power of the call of God. We tend to settle for less than that which God intends. We are slow to learn that everything we need, and I mean everything, is found totally and completely in Christ. While we are quick to say amen to the words I have just dictated, we are slow to actually come to the place of full surrender. Self-will hinders! The flesh hinders! However, we make excuses for all of this, by loading the flesh in self-will with religious phraseology. 4 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST THE CROSS OF CHRIST The Cross unfolds God as the sinner’s friend. It reveals Christ in that most wondrous character, as the righteous Justifier of the most ungodly sinner. Someone once asked me, “Is it who He is, or what He did, that makes the difference?” Only Christ could do what needed to be done to redeem fallen humanity; however, even though Christ is God and has always been God, on that THE JIMMY SWAGGART 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: premise alone, no one was redeemed. God would have to become man and go to the Cross, if man was to be lifted out of his fallen state. So, in the final alternative, even though who He was presents an absolute necessity, in reality, it was what He did, and we speak of the Cross, which guarantees salvation for even the vilest of sinners. 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). THE INTRODUCTION OF THE CROSS The power of God, with all its wisdom, glory, holiness, and magnitude, but for the Cross, works against the sinner. How precious, therefore, is the Cross, in this, its first phase, as the basis of the sinner’s peace, the basis of his worship, and the basis of his eternal relationship with the God who is there so blessedly and so gloriously revealed. All that He has said, all that He has done, from the very beginning, indicates that the Cross was ever uppermost in His heart. And no wonder! His dear and well-beloved Son was to hang there, between heaven and earth, the object of all the shame and suffering that men and devils could heap upon Him, shedding His life’s blood, all because He loved to do His Father’s will, and, thereby, redeemed the children of His grace. THE CROSS AND THE WORLD The same Cross which connects me with God has separated me from the world. A dead man is, evidently, done with the world; and to be sure, every true believer died with Christ as it regards His death, burial, and resurrection (Rom. 6:3-5). Having risen with Christ, we are now connected with God in the power of a new life, even a new nature. Being thus inseparably linked with Christ, we, of necessity, participate in our acceptance with God, and in our rejection by the world. The two things go together. PRICELESS CORNER FOURTH: YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR The former makes us a worshipper and a citizen of heaven, while the latter makes us a witness and a stranger on earth. If the Cross has become between me and my sins, it has just as readily come between me and the world. In the former case, it puts me into the place of peace with God; in the latter, it puts me into the place of hostility with the world. THE CROSS AND SEPARATION The believer cannot profess to enjoy the former of our heading, while rejecting the latter. If one’s ear is opened to hear Christ’s voice within the veil, it should be open also to hear His voice outside the camp; if one enters into the atonement, which the Cross has accomplished, one should also realize the rejection that it necessarily involves. It is our happy privilege not only to be done with our sins, but to be done with the world also. All this is involved in the doctrine of the Cross. That’s why Paul said: “God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world” (Gal. 6:14). This means that Paul looked upon the world as a thing, which ought to be nailed to the Cross. [CONTINUED ON PAGE 6] 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 out this coupon and mail it to Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, P.O.

NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE/PROVZIP DATE OF DECISION AGE JIMMY SWAGGART you continue to love your family, even love them deeply, Christ, and what not be reckoned among the nations” (Num. 23:9). This means that Israel would be totally unlike any other nation that had ever existed. He wants and desires, takes precedent over your family and anyone else The wayward prophet then said: for that matter. “He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted” (Num. 24:7). You are bought with a price, and a great price at that, and even though CONSECRATION The phrase, “Get out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house,” proclaims the reason that many cannot be used of God. They refuse to separate themselves from certain things in this world and, therefore, unto God. The following is what the Lord demanded of Abraham and, in effect, demands of us all: • Get out of your country: The true believer seeks a country simply because that which the world offers can never satisfy and, therefore, simply will not do (Heb. 11:14). The things of this world lose their attraction. Money is a means to an end. The old song that says, “This world is not my home, I’m just a passing through,” becomes the song of the redeemed. If one lays up treasures here, one’s heart will be here simply because one’s heart is where one’s treasure is. • Separate from your kindred: Now you belong to Christ. You are bought with a price, and a great price at that, and even though you continue to love your family, even love them deeply, Christ, and what He wants and desires, takes precedent over your family and anyone else for that matter. Regrettably, many aren’t willing to do that. • From your father’s house: This refers to whatever future close loved ones have planned for you. As stated, you now belong to Christ. Anything and everything that might be detrimental in your father’s house must be laid aside. In effect, you leave every- thing and do so for the sake of Christ. Now, as stated, many will not do that. And, as a result, God simply cannot use them. Or else, they quit altogether, which tragically is the course it seems, for many. • Unto a land that I will show you: This refers to the fact that Abraham had no choice in the matter. He was to receive his orders from the Lord, and go where those orders led him. In many ways, living for God is similar to the military. While personally, I’ve never served in the military, still from what I see, there isn’t a lot of difference, or at least it shouldn’t be a lot of difference, in the Army of this nation and the Army of our Lord. MONOTHEISTIC In fact, in Old Testament times, Israel was the only nation in the world that was monotheistic, meaning she worshipped one God, Jehovah. All the other nations were polytheistic, meaning they worshipped many gods, in essence demon spirits. So, Israel was the only light in the world of her day. A GREAT NATION “And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing” (Gen. 12:2). The phrase, “And I will make of you a great nation,” pertains to Israel and all of its people, and for all time. The nation of which God was speaking did not exist at this time. And besides that, Sarah was barren. And yet, this nation would be totally unlike any nation the world had ever known. Some 400 years later, a wayward prophet would say by the Spirit of God, “For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall Under David and Solomon, Israel became the most powerful nation on earth and, as well, the richest; however, the true riches were in their relationship with God. They would give the world the Word of God, which has blessed the world immeasurably. And even greater than that, they served as the womb of the Messiah, so to speak, even though they did not know Him when He actually came. Due to crucifying their Messiah and the world’s Saviour, at their request, [CONTINUED ON PAGE 8] 6 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST FULL-POWER STATIONS Baton Rouge, LA............................. 88.5 (WJFM) Covering parts of Southern Louisiana Crete, IL........................................... 88.1 (WBMF) Covering South Chicago and Chicago Heights Lake Village, AR/Greenville, MS......95.9 (KUUZ) Covering parts of Western Mississippi and Eastern Arkansas Ottawa, IL...................................... 88.9 (WWGN) Covering Ottawa, West La Salle, East Joliet, and North DeKalb Bowling Green/Toledo, OH. . . . 730 AM (WJYM) Covering parts of Northern and Central Ohio, Eastern Indiana, and the Southern tip of Michigan Kankakee, IL...................................88.3 (WAWF) Covering Northeastern Illinois and Northwestern Indiana Atlanta/Texarkana, TX. . . . . . . . . .100.1 (KNRB) Covering parts of Northeastern Texas, Northwestern Louisiana, Southwestern Arkansas, and Southeastern Oklahoma Nashville, AR....................................96.9 (KSSW) Covering Southwestern Arkansas Mobile/Citronelle, AL.....................102.1 (WQUA) Covering Mobile, Alabama Graysville, TN................................... 95.7 (WAYB) Covering parts of Southern Tennessee and Northern Georgia Lafayette/Church Point, LA.............91.9 (KCKR) Covering Southern and Western Louisiana Camden, AR..............................1450 AM (KNHD) Covering parts of Southern Arkansas Ada, OK.............................................88.7 (KAJT) Covering South Central Oklahoma Grenada, MS....................................95.7 (WTGY) Covering parts of Northwestern Mississippi Albion/Rochester, NY.................... 102.1 (WJCA) Covering North Western New York State Bentonia/Yazoo City -

Consequently, in A.D. 70, they, in effect, ceased to be a nation, totally destroyed by the Roman Tenth Legion under Titus. As strangers, they have wandered the world for about 1,900 years, when once again establishing themselves in their ancient homeland, and once again becoming a nation. And yet, they have some dark days ahead, in fact, darker than anything they have seen in the past. Jesus said so (Mat. 24:21). It will take that for them to finally accept Christ, the One they have rejected. This they will do (Zech. 13:1, 6). Israel will then be restored, never to lose her way again (Rom. 11:26-27). A BLESSING The phrase, “And I will bless you, and make your name great,” claims the favor of God. According to Scripture, to bless means “to increase.” Abraham would be blessed, and so would Israel. The words, I will bless, indicate relations very close between Jehovah and Abraham, whereby the friends and enemies of the one, become so equally to the other. The phrase, “And you shall be a blessing,” concerns itself with the greatest blessing of all. It is the glory of Abraham’s faith. God would give this man the meaning of salvation, which is justification by faith. This blessing, the great patriarch would pass on to the entirety of the world. Of course, the greatest blessing of all, and by far, is that Israel, as we have stated, would serve as the womb of the Messiah, the Saviour of mankind, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, the One who is all in all. Regrettably and sadly, Israel did not know her Redeemer when He came and, in fact, crucified Him, which was the most dastardly deed JIMMY SWAGGART ever carried out by wicked hearts. But thank God, and not too very long into the future, they are going to accept the One whom they rejected. It will be at the second coming, and to be sure, He most definitely is coming back. THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE “And I will bless them who bless you, and curse him who curses you: and in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). The phrase, “And I will bless them who bless you, and curse him who curses you,” holds true not only for Israel, but, as well, for spiritual Israel, i.e., the church; i.e., those who are truly born again. Let’s look first at Israel. At least part of the reason that America has experienced such blessings is because of our protection of Israel. This promise given to Abraham by God nearly 4,000 years ago holds true even unto this hour and, in fact, will ever hold true. It holds true for Israel; and it holds true for the church as well, and I speak of the true church. All those who bless the work of God can expect blessings from the Lord, and it doesn’t really matter who they are. As well, if a nation or a people oppose Israel, or the work of God presently, God has said that He will personally curse that nation or people. And please understand, if God curses anything, which means to hinder that nation or person, to be sure, trouble will be their continued lot. Of all the problems which presently beset our nation at this particular time, the worst of all is that it seems like the Obama Administration is giving Israel precious little help. Although little understood or recognized by most of the general public, to be sure, it is recognized by God, and if continued, will cut off the flow of blessings to this nation. To be sure, God meant what He said, and said what He meant, when He said, “I will bless them who bless you, and curse him who curses you.” If we forget this, we do so at our peril. And then two women—a mother and her daughter—came to our little town to build a church. The year was 1939. The lady and her daughter were the mother and sister of Lester Sumrall. ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH A small church was built. In fact, my uncle, who was a millionaire, in whose home I was born, loaned the money to build the church. The phrase, “In you shall all families of the earth be blessed,” concerns a blessing of unprecedented proportions. It speaks of Israel giving the world the Word of God, and more particularly bringing the Messiah into the world. Through Christ, every family in the world who desires blessing from God can have that blessing. While the word blessing covers a wide territory, the greatest blessing of all, would be, and is, justification by faith, which is made possible to every believing soul as it regards the price paid of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Cross of Calvary. A PERSONAL BLESSING First of all, I want to say how much I thank God that my family got in on this blessing, this promise given to Abraham so long, long ago. In fact, every time I read this third verse of Genesis, Chapter 12, I think of the time this blessing came to our house. I was born on March 15, 1935 into a home that did not know God. In fact, until my dad was 25 years old, he had never been inside of a Church, not one single time. He had never heard a gospel song and had never even seen a Bible, much read one. My mother’s experience was very similar. They tried to be good moral people, but without God, such is a fruitless task. My entire family was saved in that church. And, as a result, I accepted Christ when I was 8 years old. I was baptized with the Holy Spirit a few weeks later. I do not know all the reasons that this great gospel of Jesus Christ was brought to our town, and ultimately to our family. But, by the grace of God, this blessing came to us; consequently, I feel as Paul said so long ago when he said, “I am debtor” (Rom. 1:14). I must do everything within my power to help take this glorious gospel to others. As I had the privilege to hear, they must have the privilege to hear as well! ABRAHAM DEPARTED “So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran” (Gen. 12:4). So Abraham starts for the better land. www.jsm.org THE EVANGELIST DECEMBER 2015 9 JIMMY SWAGGART This was his first surrender; there were seven in all: • He surrenders here his native land (Gen. 12:1). never quite obey totally. They make it to Haran, but they never quite make it all the way to Canaan, or else they arrive late. • He surrenders his family (Gen. 12:1). CANAAN •He then surrenders the plain of Jordan (Gen. 13:9-11). “And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the Land of Canaan; and into the Land of Canaan they came” (Gen. 12:5). •He then surrenders the riches of Sodom (Gen. 14:21-23). • He surrenders self (Gen. 17:4-8). • He then surrenders (Gen. 21:9-21). Ishmael •And lastly, he surrenders Isaac (Gen. 22:9-14). Each painful surrender was followed by increased spiritual wealth. The Holy Spirit, through Moses, calls attention to the fact that Abraham was 75 years old when he departed out of Haran. Why does He note this? From the time that God revealed Himself to Abraham to the time that he obeyed the command might have been several years. Maybe there was a struggle there of which we aren’t aware. We know that he did not leave Haran until his father, Terah, died. That seems to be the lot of many Christians. They go halfway; in other words, while they obey partially, they From Haran to Canaan was approximately 350 miles. Abraham had 318 trained men with him (Gen. 14:14), meaning that they were trained to fight as soldiers. They were totally loyal to Abraham, actually born in his household. In fact, there may have been as many as 1,000 people in this entourage. Also, Abraham was extremely rich in silver and gold as well as flocks and herds. In other words, he was a mighty man, and quite possibly, one of the richest men in the East and, thereby, the world. And yet, as far as the comfort of Ur was concerned, he willingly left it all. In the leaving, he did not cease to be rich, and he did not cease to be mighty, but he gained the greatest riches of all—the knowledge of Jehovah. THE CANAANITE for Abraham! He finds the hateful, impure, and hostile Canaanite in God’s land. This was faith’s first trial; his heart would be tempted to question the fact that this was God’s land, for how could the Canaanite be in God’s land? So, in the present day the young believer expects, after conversion, to find nothing in his nature hostile to Christ, but is distressed and perplexed very soon to painfully learn that, alas, the Canaanite is in the land, and he is now commencing a lifelong battle with what the New Testament refers to as “the flesh.” This message was taken from the Jimmy Swaggart hardback book, Abraham ORDER IT ONLINE www.shopjsm.org “And Abram passed through the land into the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land” (Gen. 12:6). At long last, Abraham now finds himself in the Promised Land. Thus it is presently. The Holy Spirit says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.” The sinner believes and he is saved. Into the Land of Canaan he comes—the Promised Land. This is the first step in the life of faith.

Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.” Ishmael—a work of the flesh—could not continue to coexist with Isaac—a work of the Spirit. AN EMAIL I RECEIVED and read on Frances & Friends compared this complex situation between Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac, and Hagar and Ishmael to the Syrian refugees now living among us in the United States of America. In the book of Genesis, Sarah sees Ishmael mocking. This was an ongoing problem that was never going to stop. Ishmael—a work of the flesh— could not continue to co-exist with Isaac—a work of the Spirit. Had Sarah not voiced her concern to Abraham, it is quite possible that Ishmael’s mocking would have resulted in the murder of their promise child, Isaac. Consider these notes regarding Ishmael and Isaac from my husband’s Bible commentary: “But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit, even so it is now” (Gal. 4:29). Paul is referring to an incident in Genesis Chapter 21. Isaac is being weaned. It is possible that he was upward of 5 years old, and if so, Ishmael would have been about 19. (In Gen. 21:9) the implication is that Ishmael was mocking Isaac and possibly Sarah as well. As Paul describes in Galatians 4:29, the word persecuted is understood by some Greek scholars as to imply murder. And Scripture confirms it. In other words, Ishmael hated Isaac, and actually wanted to murder him. This was why Sarah asked that Hagar and her son be sent away. Praise the Lord, Sarah did speak up. Since the life of her only son was at stake, she did not mince words. Neither was Sarah concerned about being politically correct when she told Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son.” Of course the situation was a very painful one for Abraham because Ishmael was his son. Surely it was an extremely difficult decision for him to make and to follow through by sending Ishmael and his 12 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST Visit my website at www.francesandfriends.com | Find us on Facebook FRANCES SWAGGART mother out from under his care and protection. But he listened to Sarah—as the Lord told him to do—and Abraham obeyed God. I do see a correlation between this truth from Genesis and the Muslim refugees who live among us in the United States of America. My question is this: Can Muslims and Christians continue to co-exist in this country? Ishmael and Isaac reached a point where they could not. Every day the media reports evidence of growing tensions between Islam and Christianity. As the Muslim community grows in America, so does its desire to dominate in our schools, cities, and government. THE CURRENT SITUATION President Obama decided that America will become the new and permanent home for 10,000 Syrian refugees in FY16—a number that is expected to increase. Nearly 1,500 are already here. The U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world in 2016 and 100,000 in 2017, according to Secretary of State John Kerry. The president’s decision did not require congressional approval and was apparently made without discussion of alternatives to migration, such as assisting the refugees in camps nearest to their homelands. There seems to be an agenda in place to uproot these people and force them into the European Union, with increasing pressure on the U.S. to take in its fair share. America was even admonished on the issue by Pope Francis who spoke to Congress from his temporary U.S. pulpit: “We need to avoid a common temptation nowadays: to discard whatever proves troublesome.” That’s an odd statement to make to a country that has given so much in humanitarian aid to countries in crisis. Syria has been no exception. From FY12 to FY15, the U.S. government has given more than $4.5 billion in assistance to the Syrian humanitarian response, according to the agency primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid—the United States Agency for International Development. In addition to these billions of U.S. dollars already spent, the United Nations is still pressing America to open her borders wider and take in more refu- gees, whose total population rivals the migrations of World War II. In September, Time Magazine reported this: “Since the Syrian Civil War began in March 2011, 1,584 refugees have been relocated in the U.S., the majority of whom have moved to Texas (180), California (171), Michigan (159), Illinois (132), Arizona (107) and Florida (97). Thirty other states have absorbed the rest, according to numbers compiled by the State Department.” Although often used interchangeably, let me define the two terms refugee and immigrant. A refugee is someone who has been forced to leave a country because of war or for religious or political reasons. An immigrant is a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence. For Christians and other conservatives, the primary concern around this intake of Syrian refugees is that Islamic terrorists will infiltrate this ongoing migration The refugees already here, plus the 10,000 Syrians coming now, plan to make the U.S. their permanent residence. and slip through THE CONCERN the United States. undetected into For Christians and other conservatives, the primary concern around this intake of Syrian refugees is that Islamic terrorists will infiltrate this ongoing migration and slip through undetected into the United States. Rep. Peter King (R-NY), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, shares this concern. In September he told CNN, “We have to assume that ISIS or al Qaeda would try to take advantage of this situation.” According to its website, the Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee “focuses on the capabilities and efforts of the Federal government, particularly the Department of Homeland Security, to identify and deter threats to the Homeland through the collection and sharing of counterterrorism and homeland security information across Federal, State, and local law enforcement.” Congressman King, the man who heads this subcommittee, describes ISIS this way: ISIS is a vicious jihadist terrorist organization which continues to make advances in large parts of Iraq and Syria. ISIS in the Middle East today is stronger than Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan in 2001. It is far wealthier and battle-hardened than Osama Bin Laden’s www.jsm.org THE EVANGELIST DECEMBER 2015 13 FRANCES SWAGGART But that is the way ISIS and its fellow travellers see things, and those atrocities— the immolation of the Jordanian pilot in the name of Allah, the internet videos of hooded figures hacking the heads off Western hostages in the name of Allah, the slaughter at a French magazine in the name of Allah—are having the desired effect. It’s pretty safe to say that in the broad public mind, both here and in Europe, Islam is not synonymous with peace. I could add to this list the recent crucifixion of a 12-year-old boy who refused to deny his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. America was founded on Christian principles and values, which included religious freedom. As a Christian nation, America is a compassionate nation and has welcomed others seeking such freedom. henchmen. ISIS includes Americans in its ranks, and is actively trying to recruit more via social media. ISIS has demonstrated its depraved, evil and barbaric nature toward Americans by killing aid worker Kayla Mueller, beheading journalists James Foley, Steven Sotloff, and former U.S. Army Ranger Peter Kassig. In 2015 over 50 individuals have been arrested in the United States for their connections to ISIS. Many of these individuals were apprehended while planning attacks on New York, including Abdurasul Juraboev, Khror Saidakhmetov, Abror Habibov, Dilkhayot Kasimov and Akmal Zakirov who had planned to travel to Syria and join ISIS, bomb Coney Island, kill members of the NYPD and the President; Samuel Rahamin Topaz, Munther Omar Saleh, Fareed Mumuni, Alaa Saadeh, Nader Saadeh who, along with an unnamed minor, planned to attack various landmarks throughout New York City and provide material support to ISIS; and Noelle Velentzas and Asia Siddiqui, who were planning to attack a large law-enforcement event, like a funeral for a member of the NYPD. Yet King’s concern, and the concern of so many others, goes unheeded by President Obama who will not even speak the words, “Islamic extremism.” Neil Macdonald of CBC News said it well: Why Obama and some other Western leaders frame their rhetoric that way is obvious. They want to shield law-abiding Muslim citizens from popular anger as provocations grow more atrocious by the month. Plus, they are anxious to repudiate any idea of a war between the largely Christian West and the Islamic world. 14 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST Ladies and gentlemen, these are just more of the realities—the results—of true Islam. Yet even after hearing and seeing these cruelties, many still hold to an unrealistic view of the Muslim religion, calling it a religion of peace and love when we see example after example of the complete opposite. The angel of the Lord told Hagar how Ishmael would be: “And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. (These predictions describe the Arab people perfectly. They cannot get along with anyone in the world, and they cannot even get along among themselves. The descendants of Ishmael dwell in the presence of all his brethren [Israel], but do not subdue them and, in fact, never will subdue them!)” (Gen. 16:12, ESB) NO LONGER THE MINORITY? America was founded on Christian principles and values, which included religious freedom. As a Christian nation, America is a compassionate nation and has welcomed others seeking such freedom. For the past 239 years, Christian America has grown up peaceably with other religions in its midst including Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Jehovah’s Witness, and Mormonism. While these other religions disagree in doctrine, none pose any danger. It’s not so with Islam. As the religion of Islam matures in the United States, we are experiencing the same problems that Sarah saw regarding Hagar and Ishmael—mocking and demanding, Visit my website at www.francesandfriends.com | Find us on Facebook FRANCES SWAGGART with a desire for murder. THE COMPLAINT School boards in America have been pressured by Muslim community leaders to eliminate references to all religious holidays—Christmas and Easter—on calendars and close public schools in observance of the Muslim holy day, Eid al-Adha. As America takes in more and more Muslims, we should expect to experience the same problem that England and France is facing: a refusal by Muslims to assimilate in countries where they now live. When a New Jersey school board told Muslim parents that its schools would remain open on Eid al-Adha, Muslim families were outraged. The Daily Mail reported that a woman wearing a headscarf took a microphone during the meeting and told the school board panel, “We’re no longer the minority, that’s clear from tonight. We’re going to be the majority soon.” Middle school students in Tennessee were required to recite and write the words, “Allah is the only god,” as part of their history project on the Five Pillars of Islam. One parent told Fox News, “It really did bother me that they skipped the whole chapter on the rise of Christianity and they spent three weeks just studying Islam.” When presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said he would not support a Muslim for president if that person refused to put the U.S. Constitution above the tenets of Islam, his comments were called “anti-Muslim.” Yet, when Fox News interviewed Muslim men on the streets of New York and asked them if sharia law should supersede the U.S. Constitution, one Muslim said this: “The U.S. Constitution is made by people and the sharia law is made by Allah, so that [sharia] is all the way above, that has to be definitely in the land not for the America but for the whole world, would be above.” In the U.K., Muslims now make up 5 percent of the entire population, and Islam is its second largest religion. They have moved past the point of Muslim influence in their communities and schools. Although still disconnecting the religion of Islam from Islamist terrorism, European leaders hosting large Muslim populations cannot deny and must now deal with an escalation in violence. Six months ago, British Prime Minister David Cameron outlined a new strategy to prevent Islamist extremism in a speech to the Ninestiles School in Birmingham. “It begins—it must begin—by understanding the threat we face and why we face it. What we are fighting, in Islamist extremism, is an ideology. It is an extreme doctrine. And like any extreme doctrine, it is subversive. At its furthest end it seeks to destroy nation-states to invent its own barbaric realm. And it often backs violence to achieve this aim—mostly violence against fellow Muslims—who don’t subscribe to its sick worldview.” As America takes in more and more Muslims, we should expect to experience the same problem that England and France is facing: a refusal by Muslims to assimilate in countries where they now live. In his speech, Cameron admitted a lack of confidence to enforce Britain’s values for fear of causing offense. “The failure in the past to confront the horrors of forced marriage I view as a case in point. So is the utter brutality of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). It sickens me to think that there were nearly 4,000 cases of FGM reported in our country last year alone. Four thousand cases; think about that. And 11,000 cases of so-called honour-based violence over the last 5 years—and that’s just the reported cases.” Unfortunately, the president of the United States is unwilling to connect the realities of Islam to its terroristic agenda. Just 45 days after two Islamist gunmen killed 12 people at the Paris headquarters of the French satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo, President Obama spoke to an audience represented by more than 60 countries at the summit on “Countering Violent Extremism.” www.jsm.org THE EVANGELIST DECEMBER 2015 15 FRANCES SWAGGART After listing recent cruelties carried out by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in the Middle East, Canada, Australia, France, and Denmark, President Obama made this statement: “We have to confront the warped ideologies espoused by terrorists like al Qaeda and ISIL, especially their attempt to use Islam to justify their violence. I discussed this at length yesterday. These terrorists are desperate for legitimacy. And all of us have a responsibility to refute the notion that groups like ISIL somehow represent Islam, because that is a falsehood that embraces the terrorist narrative.” This is no falsehood, Mr. President. To the families who have watched or read the horrifying details of how their loved ones were murdered by Islamists, the truth about Islam is very real. CONCLUSION To allow people into the United States or Europe who are clearly against the established form of government and the freedoms these countries uphold is detrimental and dangerous to our country and to our way of life. Sadly, the decision to let more refugees into America has already been made. Once again, Ishmael is in the same camp with Isaac. As Christians, we must open our eyes and see, just as Sarah saw, and look at Islam for exactly what it is. Then, as Sarah did to Abraham, we need to speak up, ask questions, and voice our concerns about the threats Islam poses to our country. Do the Muslims living in the United States show a love for the American people? I don’t see that happening. Are these refugees, whom we are spending so much money to help, feed, protect, and bring into this country, appreciative or thankful for what America is doing for them? These are serious questions to consider. Above all, we must continually pray for our country.

We have already had folks from California, 18 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST Visit my website at www.donnieswaggart.org I JUST FEEL LIKE SOMETHING GOOD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN part ii by gabriel swaggart Acts 2:1-4 – “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” In the days leading up to His death, Jesus taught more on the person of the Holy Spirit than at any other time in His three and WHILE THE DISCIPLES WERE gathered together in the temple courtyard, they were in one place and in one accord, seeking the Lord for something that they really did not understand. All of a sudden from out of nowhere, something took place that literally changed the world forever. It began on what is known as the day of Pentecost. The word Pentecost in the Greek literally means “fifty” or the “fiftieth day” for the waving of the sheaf of the Feast of Firstfruits (Lev. 23:15-16). This was done at the very beginning of the Passover, which, as many of us would understand, was another one of the feast days. It took place seven weeks after the Passover Feast, and it marked the completion of the wheat harvest. There were seven different feasts in which the children of Israel participated, which all represented Christ. However, today, the Christian doesn’t need to participate in these different feast days as all have been fulfilled in Christ. Each feast represented Christ in some fashion, and was either completely fulfilled by Christ in His first advent or will be fulfilled in the not so distant future. It was during the Feast of Firstfruits that God sent the promised Holy Spirit to His disciples. one-half years of THE COMFORTER earthly ministry. Before I get into what took place on that momentous occasion, I want to take us back to the days before the crucifixion of Christ. In the days leading up to His death, Jesus taught more on the person of the Holy Spirit than at any other time in His three and one-half years of earthly ministry. Why? I think that is pretty obvious. He knew that He would be crucified, and He knew that He would be raised from the dead. He even went so far as to declare this to His disciples, but they did not quite understand what He was saying 20 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST Call us at 225.768.3072 | Email us at [email protected] | www.crossfireyouthministry.org GABRIEL SWAGGART (Luke 9:22; 44-45). Knowing that He would be crucified, buried, resurrected, and then ascend, He reassured His disciples that as He was going away, He would be sending down to them the Comforter, One who would walk alongside to help (Jn. 14:15-18). To me, this is an interesting tidbit. Back in the time of Christ, if there was an individual who had a following of some sort—whether large or small—when the leader of that following passed away, the ones left were referred to as “orphans.” In John 14:18, Jesus expressed to His disciples that He would not leave them comfortless, or helpless. In other words, He was telling them that as He would be leaving, He was not going to leave them orphans—those who are without a leader. He also informed them that this Promised One would dwell “with you, and shall be in you” (Jn. 14:17). This means that the Holy Spirit, the One who was promised, would literally be able to take up residence in the hearts and lives of believers, changing the disposition of everything. THE CROSS MADE IT POSSIBLE Let me add something to this: The only way that the Holy Spirit could be able to take up residence in the hearts and lives of believers was solely through the means of the finished work of Christ. It was the Cross that made this possible, for beforehand, the Holy Spirit could not and would not be able to reside in the lives of believers simply because the blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin but only cover it. With the emergence of the Cross, this made it possible for the Holy Spirit to reside because the blood of Christ was able to take away sin completely and cast it as far as the east is to the west. The Cross made this possible, and we should never forget that. A DIVINELY INSPIRED DISRUPTION Following the command of Christ, many gathered together in one place, no doubt, starting in the upper room and then venturing down to the temple courtyard. They were in one accord, seeking the Lord for what they did not quite understand, when out of nowhere, something happened. The Bible says, “and suddenly,” and means without warning. Those who gathered that day did not know anything special would take place. They were not told by God or anyone else that something spectacular would happen. It all happened suddenly and without warning. Personally, I like to explain it this way: What took place on the day of Pentecost—this “and suddenly” experience—was a “divinely inspired disruption.” It was this divinely inspired disruption that ushered in the Holy Spirit in a dimension never known before on Planet Earth. In all honesty, as there was a divinely inspired disruption then, we need a divinely inspired disruption now. The church today has never been more lethargic than at the present time, and neither has the church ever been in a greater mess than now. The church as a whole is desperate for a divinely inspired disruption, and it can only come when the church repents, turns from its wicked ways, and comes back to the Cross of Christ. THE LAST DAYS I do believe that we are living in the last of the last days, and I do believe that the rapture of the church is on the horizon. We are looking toward that great, coming day with anticipation. However, at the same time, I do believe that the Lord is about ready to send the greatest move of God to this world that we have ever seen. There is coming right ahead the greatest move of God the world has ever known, with the greatest harvest of souls coming into the kingdom of God than ever before. As Joel prophesied so long ago, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit” (Joel 2:28-29). There is coming right ahead the greatest move of God the world has ever known, with the greatest harvest of souls coming into the kingdom of God than ever before. At the same time, I believe that as we [CONTINUED ON PAGE 22] www.jsm.org THE EVANGELIST DECEMBER 2015 21 [CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21] are going to see the greatest harvest of souls come into the kingdom, we are going to see the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit, with more believers being baptized with the Holy Spirit than ever before. A DREAM Several years ago, I believe that the Lord gave me a dream regarding people being baptized with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. It took place in a large auditorium of sorts, and it was completely packed to the walls with people of ever race, creed, ethnicity, culture, and socio-economic background. I was standing stage left as the music was coming to an end, and in the dream, right before I was to minister, I was praying that the Lord would give me something to preach. I stood there in the dream with nothing to preach, with no word at that moment for the people, and I knew the music would be ending at any moment. Then, as I walked up to the podium, and I was overlooking the sea of people, the Lord dropped something into my heart. I do not remember the text, but I do remember the title of that message—“The Power of the Holy Spirit.” * With the purchase of any Bible (NOT including the New Testaments) you will receive a FREE copy of the daily devotional THE EXPOSITOR'S WORD FOR EVERY DAY.

Without warning and without anyone forcing the issue, in the very center of the room stood a young man. When he stood to his feet, the power of God came all over him, and he began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit of God gave the utterance. Then, in a moment, it swept over that large room, with every single person being baptized with the Holy Spirit. I felt at that time, and still do presently, that God was/is going to use this ministry through the media (television, radio, the Internet, and satellite) to see tens of thousands of people baptized with the Holy Spirit during one single service.

BEAUTIFUL SINGING ON SBN IS A BLESSING DEAR EVANGELIST: I have really been enjoying all of the broadcasts. I go to sleep watching it, and wake up with it still on! It’s really a blessing to me. I do pray for all of the outreach programs, and I love to hear all of the beautiful singing that is on the programs. May God richly bless your network for Him. – Missouri VIEWERS TRADE TODAY SHOW FOR THE SONLIFE BROADCASTING NETWORK DEAR EVANGELIST: I just wanted to say thank you for the SonLife Broadcasting Network. I don’t think my wife and I realized how watered-down our lives were. There seems to be nothing even close to this level of Word in our area. We’ve replaced our morning news program of the Today Show with SBN! Please keep preaching this Word; you are such an inspiration! – North Carolina MESSAGE OF THE CROSS IMPROVES QUALITY OF RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD DEAR EVANGELIST: While listening to the program this morning at 7 a.m. in Western Australia, someone testified how he would not have what he has today without the persistent proclamation by the SBN team of the Message of the Cross. I can testify as well that I would not have got this far without the Holy Spirit’s work and operation through this message from God. I have a drunken, drugged, and sinful background and was lost in the church system after having been saved. I don’t remember, as I write, when it was that I started listening to the Message of the Cross, but all I know is that it has turned my life upside down and improved the quality of my relationship with God immeasurably. Though I have much to learn and need to change much more, it’s an unceasing adventure and fight of faith. Thanks for persisting and continuing to do so, Brother Swaggart, as SBN has changed my life in Christ. – Australia 32 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST 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 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. – Denmark FIRST-TIME VIEWER FEELS PRESENCE OF GOD, CALMNESS WATCHING SBN DEAR EVANGELIST: I enjoy watching your telecast every chance I get; it blesses me every time I watch. I was feeling all alone and depressed one night and something spoke to me and told me to turn the TV to SBN. I started watching, and I could feel the presence of Jesus with me, and I felt calmness in my heart like I never felt. Praise God! – North Carolina HUSBAND WITNESSES HIS DYING WIFE’S SALVATION; THANKFUL FOR SBN DEAR EVANGELIST: I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to your ministry and its Spirit-filled teachings. I lost my wife to cancer a week ago but was privileged to be witness to the moment when her sins were forgiven and honored to be holding her hand at the moment when Jesus led her home. Since, I’ve rededicated my life to the Lord and I have engulfed myself in the preaching of Brother Swaggart online and on SBN and I can’t get enough, slow down, or stop! I’ve never been so hungry and never been so fed as I am now by this ministry. I’ve become entrenched in the Word and addicted to it and a relationship with God and Jesus. I will remember JSM in prayer always and would ask that if it be possible for you to remember me and my family in prayer as well. Thank you again, so much, for the uncompromising, straightforward, and truthful preaching of God’s Word. God Bless You! – South Carolina OVERHEARD SBN WHILE ROOMMATE WAS WATCHING AND GOT HOOKED DEAR EVANGELIST: I really never listen to any TV broadcast. When I heard you the first time, I was in bed and my roommate was listening to it. While I was in bed, the Holy Spirit began to move. A few days passed, and I asked her what station that was. She told me and from that day on I was hooked. I thank God for you ministry! May God bless and keep the family. – Illinois BELIEVER ENCOURAGES EVERYONE TO GET AN EXPOSITOR’S STUDY BIBLE DEAR EVANGELIST: I just wanted to let you know how much I love and enjoy The Expositor’s Study Bible! I strongly encourage anyone who has not gotten one to do so, you will not be disappointed! I find myself reading at the same time every day, and look forward to spending time in the Word! I am so happy to have found SBN, and I am also a Media Church member. Praise God for His grace and mercy and for the Swaggart family! We finally have found the truth, and now it’s easy to understand! Praise God, praise God, praise God! – Michigan BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHILE WATCHING A CLASSIC CRUSADE DEAR EVANGELIST: While watching a Classic Crusade last week of Brother Swaggart’s, he gave the invitation to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. I had been seeking this for a while and while praying with Brother Swaggart, I felt the utterance and received the baptism. I praise God every day for this gift. Thank all of you for bringing the Message of the Cross. I get a blessing each time I watch SBN. God bless you all. – Email PRESENCE OF THE LORD FELT IN JIMMY SWAGGART MESSAGES, THEN AND NOW DEAR EVANGELIST: I was listening to your Classic Crusade from September 15, 1985, and I want to say to you just a big thank you. I was saved in 1981 in Chile and I watched your program on TV every Saturday. I am now a minister of the gospel here in New Zealand with the Latin American community, and still every time that I listen to your messages, I feel the presence of the Lord. For that reason, thank you again. – New Zealand FAMILY IN BRAZIL BLESSED BY THE MINISTRY SINCE THE 1980S DEAR EVANGELIST: Brother Swaggart, I would like to thank you for all the good work you have done throughout the years. I thank God for your life; my whole family knows God through your ministry back in the 80s here in Brazil. I remember being a little boy waking up early in the morning on Saturdays to watch your program on an old black-and-white TV. My mom and I would sing the songs without even knowing a word in English. If we had the means, we’d travel all the way to Baton Rouge to meet you in person and to participate in a meeting at the Family Worship Center. It would be a dream coming true for us. God bless you and we love you so very much. – Brazil www.jsm.org THE EVANGELIST DECEMBER 2015 33 HERE A LITTLE AND THERE A LITTLE by loren larson Isaiah 28:10 – “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.” Man’s mind is full of reasonings that oppose God’s plan. Man’s actions are more inclined to gravitate toward the “doing” of something rather than the “believing” of something. 34 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST THE GOSPEL OF THE Lord Jesus Christ is the essence of simplicity. The benefits that come to humanity as a result of the pure gospel being believed are too numerous to count and probably will never be fully comprehended in any one man’s lifetime. God does not put a series of demands upon lost humanity whereby, once accomplished, men can be saved. He really only asks one thing of us. That is to believe in His Son who sacrificed his life on Calvary. That simple object of faith is sufficient to redeem us from our lostness, to cleanse us holistically from our sinful state, and to introduce us to an inheritance that will last for all eternity. Our faith in Christ and His finished work on the Cross will accomplish all of this for all who will believe. THE GOSPEL IS PROGRESSIVELY REVEALED The problem that God has in bringing the blessings of salvation to humanity is not located in the gospel itself, but rather, it exists in the heart and mind of man who wants to depart from its simplicity. God’s plan is perfect. He operated in all prudence and wisdom in establishing it. The problem is getting man to believe it the way He designed it. In order to embrace the proper object of faith, man has to first of all release all hope that might exist of salvation, sanctification, or inheritance by any means other than placing one’s faith in the Cross. Man’s mind is full of reasonings that oppose God’s plan. Man’s actions are more inclined to gravitate toward the “doing” of something rather than the “believing” of something. So, at salvation, God takes the human being and reveals to him that his need for a Saviour is a desperate need. God has to show us in no uncertain terms that our only hope is to trust in His Son and the penalty He paid on our behalf. The gospel is only effectively and honestly embraced by those who truly see that they are lost, hopeless, hapless, and helpless to produce a right relationship between God and themselves. LOREN LARSON Then and only then will they secure the right object of faith—the simple truth of Christ and Him crucified. Christianity starts for all people with this revelation. However, because man has learned to be independent from God due to the fall, we will also need to learn that our growth in this newly established relationship with God is also maintained by having the right object of faith. This lesson is an ongoing one, for if given half a chance, man will gravitate to a growth plan that is of his own making or design and will reject the simplicity of faith in the Cross as the only means of growth. However, this event must not become the object of our faith. The believer is baptized into Christ at salvation and equipped by the Spirit to overcome sin as a result. When baptized with the Holy Spirit (a second subsequent work of grace), the believer is equipped for supernatural service. THE MODERN CHURCH HAS THE SAME PROBLEM In today’s world the wrong object of faith is still the greatest detriment to the success of living out the Christian life. In a more recent example, utilizing the Pentecostal movement, of which I am a part, we see quite plainly that Spirit-filled believers have the tendency to make the event of the baptism with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking with other tongues the object of their faith. Nothing could be more needed, and nothing should be more desired or pursued than the baptism with the Holy Spirit. detriment to maintaining the proper object of faith usually comes because the believer begins to THE PROPER OBJECT OF FAITH The biggest detriment to maintaining the proper object of faith usually comes because the believer begins to trust in an action that is correct or in an event that is biblical and right. For instance, in the old covenant, God gave Israel the law. I think it is safe to say that two key purposes of the law were (1) to reveal to the world the difference between right and wrong and, (2) to prove to man that he was incapable of performing properly at all times. This should have made Israel aware of its sinful condition, but Israel came to think that they were capable of keeping the 612 laws (or more) that were given. They claimed that keeping the law was the means of salvation, and they were deceived into believing that they could keep it. The keeping of the law then became the object of their faith. In addition, their ability to understand the law was removed, and sin began to dominate the lives of nearly all Israelites. Paul stated in Romans 2:24 that “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you.” Thus, their practice of making the law the object of their faith was disastrous. The biggest trust in an action that is correct or in an event that is biblical and right. Both of these supernatural experiences are a benefit of what Christ did for us at Calvary. So, our faith must not be in the event or even in the mighty moving of the Holy Spirit. Our faith must rest in what has provided us with the presence of the Holy Spirit—the Cross. Pentecostals began placing their faith in the event of the baptism with the Holy Spirit and began to believe that they could live free from sin because they had experienced this event. This thought, in reality, robs Christ of the glory only He deserves, for He defeated sin by His sacrifice on Calvary. The wrong object of faith always proves disastrous and Pentecostalism has been experiencing a demise for decades because of the wrong object of faith. CONCLUSION None of us learn these lessons immediately. It takes time to remove the idols, the wrong thinking, or the wrong object of faith that believers establish in their hearts. But I am very excited to see that there is a group of believers in the world today who are holding exclusively to the Cross, which allows God through his Spirit to build us “here a little and there little.” I am glad to be a part of this Cross-believing remnant in the last days. www.jsm.org THE EVANGELIST DECEMBER 2015 35 THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE part iii by john rosenstern THE HISTORIC CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS is upon us. Instead of the world being brought together under the unity all can have in Christ, which will produce true harmony, the globalists are smashing us together like the proton Large Hadron Collider machine. The concept of global governance is in opposition to our American Constitution. THE IDEA BEHIND THE science of smashing protons is that when they collide, thousands of new particles come out. Notwithstanding, trying to create a global society is against God. God scattered man at the tower of Babel in order to prevent man from seeking and obtaining unity without God. Jacob prophesied, “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be” (Gen. 49:10). Jacob revealed from where unity would come. It would come from Jesus Christ. He is the only One who can rule and judge in righteousness. Today, He can reign in the hearts of those who receive Him. THE UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABILITY The recent gathering of the world saw an international cooperation and agreement that climate change caused by human emissions is the biggest threat to our planet. The consortium of nations unanimously agreed to accept this presumption as science and will now cooperate together to combat this creature that seeks to destroy the planet. Religious leaders at the UN assembly also addressed their concerns over social injustices that plague the poor, and the plight of immigrants from the Middle East should be welcomed and part of everyone’s shared responsibility, they lament. Fundamentalism must be reckoned with, according to the Roman Catholic pope. The need for enacting the UN Sustainability goals is their road map to success to these perils and a litany of other issues. 36 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST GLOBAL GOVERNANCE VS. AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY The concept of global governance is in opposition to our American Constitution. Our American forefathers sought a decentralized republic with most power vested in the states and with the people. Although our Founding Fathers wrote language into the Constitution to guard against the loss of sovereignty of the states, over time a centralized federal government has slowly centralized power at the top. The essence of executive orders was to give the president power to enforce existing laws passed by Congress, but today, executive orders give the president power to make laws. The same can be said of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Decisions that are made by the SCOTUS are acted on by many as if they are laws. Psalm 94:20: “Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?” Americans have been desensitized and accustomed to having their freedoms and liberties compromised and reinterpreted. American sovereignty is now viewed as selfish and must be attacked at every level. The government educational system has created its centralized powers— Department of Education—and strongly promotes Common Core education. Teachers are reduced to facilitators and change agents—no different than Rick Warren redefining ministers as change agents. Our military has been corrupted and feminized. The infiltration of homosexuals has seen JOHN ROSENSTERN an escalation of male on male attacks of outrageous proportions. The standards of expectations have been reduced to accommodate the physically weaker female gender. American sovereignty has been attacked by multiculturalism. Diversity is the mantra, and instead of a common language and secure borders, we have illegal aliens and another tongue telling us what we must do for their rights. We have a government since President Roosevelt that thinks it can spend its way into prosperity. This is like standing in a bucket and trying to pick yourself up by the handle. The family was reclassified from being seen as one economic unit. Since the Civil Bill of Rights, given to us by L. B. Johnson and his great society, each person has become an economic unit. On national TV, President Nixon declared that he was changing our economy from an industrial to a service economy. The government created 60 million jobs by 1983, and now an average government employee makes twice as much as a private sector worker. Nixon also created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by an executive order. Rules and regulations have poured out of this new business-killing bureaucracy since its creation. American households learned quickly from the government that debt was the way to prosperity. This was by design! Debt makes one a servant to whom one borrowed. Do not fear though, an entitlement nation was being created in the image of the government that was forming it. Debt can be extended for eternity as long as someone pays the interest-but why not let the future generations worry about that? We have no interest in the future when we have such little interest to pay today. Instead of our grandchildren inheriting prosperity, freedom, and liberty, they will inherit carnage and communism. The poor will prevail in numbers only. The wealth will become centralized, and anyone who disagrees with this will be treated as mentally ill. Christians beware! GLOBAL GOVERNANCE The world is cooperating apart from the U.S. like never before. The majority of countries to whom we provide assistance vote against us in the United Nations. The weakness of our current administration has blindly allowed the likes of Russia and Iran to operate openly in alliance with the Assad Syrian government. Israel is evermore isolated as its enemies are strengthened around them. Furthermore, in order to cope with the stress of a failing American society, churches in America speak louder and louder about partnering with the world. For example, the recent Gathering on Mental Health and the Church, held at Rick Warren’s Saddleback church, was another example of the church pontificating worldly solutions to spiritual problems. While there is time, may God give us the grace we need to fulfill his calling, “Go ye into the world and preach the gospel.” To receive your items before Christmas, place your order before: USA Regular Mail: Dec. 15 FedEx 2 Day/Priority Mail Express: Dec. 18 ∙ FedEx Overnight: Dec. 22 | Canada Dec. 7.

I don’t apologize for saying this. I don’t hide my enthusiasm. I celebrate the true meaning of the season. I love true Christian Christmas cards. I love hearing Christmas hymns, especially in businesses that still allow them to be played. I UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS was probably not born on Dec. 25. And…? It matters not the specific day that we choose to honor the birth of Christ. It matters that we celebrate the birth of the Messiah, the Saviour, the Redeemer, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. THE DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT “And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His name JESUS” (Lk. 1:30-32). What an announcement! What an honor to be the vessel God uses to bring forth the Messiah! This was the announcement that every young Jewish girl hoped to receive. MARY WAS NOT THE MOTHER OF GOD Jesus used the phrase “the Son of Man” when He spoke of His humanity. Mary was not the “mother of God.” She was the mother of the Son of Man (the human body). The distinction is important. Jesus as a human had a beginning. Jesus as God had no beginning. “In the beginning was the Word, and the 38 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST Word was with God, and the Word was God” (Jn. 1:1). The term Word clearly speaks of Jesus. Jesus was in the beginning. He was with God in the beginning. He was God in the beginning. The Greek term ἀρχή (archē) is where we derive the word archaic. Whenever it is that you believe time began, Jesus was already with God and was already God. Mary therefore could not have been the “mother of God” as taught by the Roman Catholic Church; that would mean that she predated God. Mary was the mother of the Son of Man—the physical body Jesus used in His earthly ministry. For that, we honor her as a human vessel who yielded to God’s will, but we do not worship her as the mother of God. SHALL CALL HIS NAME JESUS Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua. Joshua is a shortened version of Jehoshuah (Num. 13:16; 1 Chron. 7:27), signifying in Hebrew, “Jehovah is Salvation” (Brown Driver Briggs). “The name Jesus is the same as Savior. It is derived from the verb signifying to save” (Albert Barnes). Jesus, or Joshua, was a common name, but only He would fulfill the meaning of that name. Only Jesus would save those who place their faith in the completed work of Calvary. NO OTHER NAME BUT JESUS Peter boldly proclaimed after the day of Pentecost, that “There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can have forgiveness of sins, joy unspeakable, peace in a time of trouble, and, of course, everlasting life. It is in the name of Jesus that we have answered prayers. To a true believer, that name is sweeter than honey yet stronger than tempered steel. He is my Redeemer, my Saviour, my Healer, my Deliverer, my peace, my joy, my help in the time of need, my righteousness. He is King of kings, Lord of lords, the one and only mediator between God and man, and much more. That is why I will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I hope you do too.

And to be sure, if the Lord lives within your heart and your life, whatever else there might be, still, you can rejoice accordingly. CHRISTMAS GIFTS Houston, Texas area that covers nearly 700,000 homes. There is another system that covers more than 2 million homes and we should be airing over it shortly. All of that puts us into 85 million homes in the U.S., airing 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are 115 million homes in America that have a television set, and we feel we must be on in every one of them. I would pray that you would take full advantage of the offers made in this issue of The Evangelist. Any of these offers would make the greatest Christmas gifts in the world. For instance, as it regards The Expositor’s Study Bible, there would be no greater gift than that, and on top of that, we are giving you—with each Bible that you purchase (with the exception of the New Testaments)—a copy of our daily devotional The Expositor’s Word For Every Day. This makes a double-barreled offer that is absolutely exceptional. Whatever you do, you must take advantage of it. Let me give you an example of how it works: The Expositor’s Study Bible Regular Edition sells for $100 (catalog price), and the The Expositor’s Word For Every Day sells for $30, making a total of $130 for both items. With this offer, as it regards this particular Bible, you are getting both for just $60 plus shipping and handling. What an offer! TELEVISION By the time you receive this copy of The Evangelist, we should be airing our television programming 24 hours a day, seven days a week in Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. We are going into nearly 900,000 homes in these indigenous areas. How we thank the Lord for the privilege and the opportunity. So please pray that God will use the programming in a great way in these countries. Incidentally, these countries are English-speaking countries. As well, we’ve just gone on a cable system in the greater 40 DECEMBER 2015 THE EVANGELIST Every person needs to have the opportunity, and desperately so, to hear the Message of the Cross, whether they take advantage of it, or not. Along with that, we are on in nearly 200 million homes in foreign countries, not counting the satellites or the Internet, etc. In fact, I’m told that some 2 billion people on this planet can tune into the SonLife Broadcasting Network if they so desire. How we thank the Lord for this tremendous privilege and opportunity. AND LET ME SAY ONE MORE THING TO YOU Without you, we couldn’t do this, irrespective of the fact FROM ME TO YOU that God has called us. We can only work together, and that is the will of God. He has called us to do this, and He has called you to make it possible. To say thank you, seems to be woefully insufficient. But yet, I know that what you do is not for Jimmy Swaggart, but is rather for the Lord. Thank you for your prayerful and financial support. PRAY We should make it a matter of prayer as it regards who the next president of the United States will be. This is critically important as I’m certain that you well know. The Lord has a will in this thing, and let’s ardently seek His will. VISITORS Every Sunday morning we have visitors from all over the world at Family Worship Center. How so very pleased and happy we are to have these guests. Many of these people are ardent supporters of the SonLife Broadcasting Network. And to have them in service is something that we think is special. Incidentally, we are averaging over 100 people a week who are joining the Family Worship Center Media Church. Many of you hear us read out their names (at least their first names) every Sunday morning. The reason we only read the first names is to protect the privacy of these individuals. But to be sure, we are so glad to have you as a part of this great work for God. Your presence, your participation, and your being a part of us makes it a little easier for us to get this work done. Thank you! RESURRECTION CAMPMEETING The dates are March 23-27 and it’s going to be a blockbuster. Whatever you do, if it’s possible for you to be with us, do so! I know that most of you cannot come, but I know that many of you can. As far as I know, there are no campmeetings in the world that are being conducted today quite like those at Family Worship Center. So, if it’s at all possible, you should take full advantage of it. It is some of the greatest music and singing and worship in the world. Some of the greatest preaching and teaching also, we think, in the world today. But with you present, it will be a little bit better. I’m going to look for you!

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.

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 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.

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 The Answer For All Anxiety (15-609) Worry can do so much damage in a person’s life.

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 To receive your items before Christmas, place your order before: USA Regular Mail: Dec. 15 FedEx 2 Day/Priority Mail Express: Dec. 18 ∙ FedEx Overnight: Dec. 22 | Canada Dec. 7.

Let My People Go! (Deliverance) The deliverance of the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage was not a type of salvation as many think, but rather a type of the deliverance of the believer from under the yolk of Satan. We learn from this message that Satan does not let go easily or quickly. A must for every believer! 07-552 The Cross And The Resurrection (Romans 4:24-25) Many have claimed that the emphasis should be placed on the Resurrection, instead of the Cross. Is this what the Bible teaches? Misplaced faith is the cause of most, if not all, of the problems affecting Christianity. 07-544 Beyond The Cross? (Hebrews 6:1-3) Most Christians don’t realize what walking after the flesh and walking after the Spirit actually are, and yet, there is nothing more important as it regards victorious living, or the lack thereof, than this particular subject. 07-542 Living The Cross Life (Romans 7:21) The living of the Cross life is essential to all victory. But yet, the far, far, greater majority of Christendom, as Romans 7:20 describes, is living in defeat. 07-514 The Key To Victory (Romans, Chapters 6 and 7) If every Christian could know and understand the teaching given here, their Christian experience would be greatly enhanced. This is a must for your biblical instruction. 07-511 I Do That Which I Hate! Why? Why is it that Christians do things they don’t want to do, and in fact should not do, and try not to do? I think the teaching contained on this CD is and will be of utmost help. 07-508 God’s Prescribed Order Of Victory Millions of Christians are trying to live for God in all the wrong ways. To have what the Word of God promises us, we must do things God’s way. The teaching contained on this CD, if heeded by the Christian, will change every life from defeat to victory. It is the Word of God. 07-507 The Cause Of Sin In The Life Of A Christian Millions of Christians have no idea as to the cause of sin in their lives, especially considering that many are trying so hard not to fail. We will show you how the Cross plays such an important part in victory over sin. The teaching contained therein is a must for every believer. 07-503 How To Be An Overcomer On this CD, we give you the biblical way of being an overcomer. The irony is, through Christ, every believer is already an overcomer. So the idea is for you to actually be what you already are. 07-502 A Revelation Of The Holy Spirit In 1988, the Lord spoke to my heart at a time of great distress, saying to me, “I will show you things about the Holy Spirit you do not presently know.” The Lord was speaking of victorious living, in effect, victory over the world, the flesh, and the Devil, which can only be brought about through the power of the Holy Spirit. In 1997, the Lord first of all began to give me the revelation of the Cross. Then, a few days later, He showed me how the Holy Spirit works relative to the Cross, in effect, keeping His promise given to me in 1988. This could be the most important teaching you’ve ever heard. It can change your life. 07-551 Plus Regular Postage, Shipping, and Handling. | All prices in The Evangelist are valid through December 31, 2015.

Brother Swaggart, Here Is My Question About The Cross – When Brother Swaggart received the revelation of the Cross from the Lord in 1997, it changed his entire life and his ministry. It is a revelation still unfolding to this hour. As such, he is doing everything possible to ensure that the Message of the Cross penetrates the church and the world. Since modern churches rarely preach on the Cross, Christians today are curious about the need for Jesus Christ and Him crucified. They want to know how the Cross relates to their sanctification. How were people saved before the Cross? And why doesn’t the Cross work for me? Brother Swaggart answers these questions and more in this volume of the Here Is My Question series. Learn why the Cross of Christ is the most important part of God’s plan. (452 pages, hardcover) 09-103 Great Women Of The Bible, Old Testament – Since the creation of mankind, God has used women to help fulfill His plan of redemption. In this powerful book by Brother Swaggart, he informs his readers of scriptural details of the lineage, circumstances, and immovable faith of several women named in the Old Testament. Included in these chapters is Sarah, the barren wife of Abraham, who bore a miracle child at the age of 90; Rahab the Gentile, whose plea for salvation for her and her house was granted; Naomi and Ruth, who modeled types of Israel and the church; and Esther, who was chosen over all other women to be queen of the Persian Empire. Also included is the beautiful story of Rebekah and her marriage to Isaac, which is symbolic of Christ and His bride, the church. (Over 450 pages, hardcover) 09-120 Armageddon – Today, the word Armageddon is commonly used to mean the final conflict between the forces of good and evil. The battle of Armageddon, however, is a very real event that is scheduled to occur at the conclusion of the great tribulation. According to the Word of God, this battle will be unlike any other warfare that has occurred on planet Earth. It will be a strategic fight orchestrated by Satan to annihilate the Jews forever. The Antichrist will lead his fight against the armies of Israel. This battle cannot be avoided; it will happen. However, it will be interrupted by the most cataclysmic event in the history of the world—the second coming of Jesus Christ. Only this time He’ll come as King of kings and Lord of lords. (Over 200 pages, hardcover) 09-116 The Sacrificial System – In the Old Testament, atonement was something that had to be done over and over again because the blood of animals could cover but could not take away sins of the people. The priest, while carrying out his sacred duties under the Mosaic law, was commanded to look not at the sinner but at the sacrifice. If the sacrifice was acceptable, then the believing sinner was also acceptable. Yet, the atonement effected in the Old Testament was in reality only a stopgap measure. The thousands of animal sacrifices offered then pointed to the coming Redeemer of mankind who would serve as the one true atonement: Jesus Christ and Him crucified. His sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary would take away the sin of the whole world once and for all.
