SPECIAL EDITION We are at the beginning of a new year, and it is good to take time to ask ourselves, “What are the goals that God has for me? How does He want me to serve Him? What should I do for God to use me this year? If we look back at 2012, we should give God thanks because this has been a year of glorious harvests, of abundant fruit, of a great number of souls won, affirmed, equipped, and sent, and of supernatural manifestations of the power of God. This is why we invite you not to lose heart and to look at 2013 as the year in which you will reach your purpose in God. It is a year in which to enlarge our faith and to continue believing that the supernatural of God will visibly manifest in our lives. It is a delight to be in the presence of God, and that is why we want to invite you to continue praying at all times and everywhere, until we become prayer, so that wherever we go, God will respond with miracles and wonders. This is a year to continue equipping our leadership. We know that when God gives us greater revelation of His Word, it is because He wants to move the level of our faith to lead us to believe for greater things. This year, He wants us to continue restoring marriages, to rescue more youth from drugs, alcohol, pornography, and abandonment. He wants to use us to deliver men and women from witchcraft, depression, immorality, and more. God is counting on us to do the work entrusted to the church. Today, at the beginning of 2013, I want to tell you that the best is yet to come. Expect the expected, the unexpected, and the above and beyond! 1 CREDITS CONTENT Receiving the New Year 3 Expect the Expected, the Unexpected & the Above & Beyond 5 The Vision in Action 7 Testimonies from King Jesus 8 How to Hear God’s Voice 11 The Year in Review 13 Deborahs 2012 25 Entering His Presence 28 Supernatural Encounters 29 A Supernatural Encounter 37 SUPERNATURALIST MAGAZINE IS A PRODUCT OF ERJ PUBLICACIONES.

Hope is a favorable and certain expectancy of something good. Living hope has a solid foundation. Many believers do not receive because they lack expectancy. They go to church and walk through life without expectancy. When there is no expectancy of something good, we expect something bad. Fear is the opposite of hope. It leads to believe and expect that something bad will happen. We have to change that mentality. We used to be negative people, but now we have living hope! Another definition of hope is the total manifestation of the life that each be5 liever has. You possess Jesus’ life of resurrection. Your hope is that some day that life will completely manifest on earth, from the inside out. The Bible invites us to remain in faith, hope, and love. Lack of hope is one of the saddest conditions of the human being. Depression comes from despair. This is what people experience when they consider something to be out of their control. Constant Expectation God operates in cycles. Therefore, as we enter the new year, we should have the expectancy that something good is going to happen. There is constant expectancy in heaven that God is doing something new. We should live with the same expectancy. If you constantly expect something bad, there will be no difference between you and the people in the world whose hope is abstract and false. How do we walk in constant expectancy? We should live by faith. People who live by faith are always expecting something good to happen. This means that they do not look at the circumstances; but rather, at the promises that by faith they expect to receive. You will not have expectancy if you don’t do or obey. For example, you you are wasting time. He will also tell you to stop doing it, but keep sowing because you have living hope. If you want a great harvest, you have to sow a great seed. You must do something! If you don’t do what God tells you, don’t expect anything. Have you done what God placed in your heart and what He says in His Word? If you have, you have the right to live with great expectancy. The Expected, the Unexpected, and the Above and Beyond You should expect the expected. Expect to happen that which you prayed [When there is no expectancy of something good, we expect something bad] cannot expect to be blessed financially if you don’t tithe or give offerings. Once you do it and are obedient, then you can expect something. You cannot expect oranges to grow if you have not taken the time to plant a tree. When we do what the Bible says, it gives us the right to expect, for “He who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope” (1 Corinthians 9:10). Religion tells you not to expect anything. However, the Bible talks about living in expectancy. Each time you give or sow into God’s work, say, “Jesus, I expect my harvest.” You should have living hope and expect to receive a harvest. Of everything you sow, expect to receive it back multiplied. The devil will say that you are a fool and that for. Expect the expected and what He said would happen. You should also expect the unexpected; that is, the breakthroughs you cannot anticipate, like receiving a check by mail or an unexpected salary increase. You should also expect the above and beyond. Who can defeat you if you have that kind of hope? Change your perspective and say: “Something good is going to happen to me today.” Let Jesus be the foundation of your hope. Don’t allow your reason to kill your faith and your expectancy. Praise God, instead. Declare that your harvest is on its way, and always live expecting the great harvest that is coming. Apostle Guillermo Maldonado 6 VISION THE VISION IN ACTION: EVANGELIZE | AFFIRM | DISCIPLE | SEND 7 Sending of Mentors 8 TESTIMONIES Freed from alcohol addiction In the first two sonograms, the doctors detected that the baby was missing the right kidney. The mother prayed and kept on believing that God would do a creative miracle. When she returned to the hospital and after more testing, the doctors said that they didn’t understand what had happened but that the baby had the right kidney. God did it again! Rosario affirms that her child was born with his intestines outside of his body. The doctors tried to do emergency surgery but, six hours later and while still in the operating room, the baby died. Desperate, Rosario called her House of Peace leader and asked for help. The leader prayed, casting out the spirit of death and declaring the power of the resurrection over the child. Suddenly, the baby resurrected! Even though the doctors were amazed, they diagnosed that his recovery would last at least six months. Rosario testifies that God accelerated her son’s healing, supernaturally, because just 20 days later, the baby was totally healed, discharged, and taken home. Ivonne is a House of Peace leader and testifies that her husband, Roberto, suffered a stroke and was taken to the hospital in a coma. The doctors said that if her husband did not wake up within 24 hours, he would certainly die. Ivonne remembered the teaching by Apostle Maldonado on the power of Jesus’ resurrection, and she began to declare life over him, decreeing that Roberto would wake up without brain damage. God responded to her faith because, a few hours later, Roberto woke up completely healed! Roberto Before Roberto After 10 HOW TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE In this dark, insecure and fearful world in which we live, and with the many voices surrounding us, it is important for every believer, minister, and leader to learn how to hear the voice of God. There is one reason why God wants to speak to us: He wants to communicate 11 His plans and purpose for our lives. Communication is part of who He is. It is God’s nature to speak to His creation. He communicates His desires and plans. He confirms the past and tells us about our present and future because it is an intricate part of who He is. Scripture speaks to you when it says: “...if you hear His voice today...” It is teaching you that He is still talking. God abides in the eternal present; this is why His name is the Great I Am. God is today. This means that God still speaks and heals today. If you are willing to obey Him, you will hear His voice. Perhaps, at times, your spiritual ears may be “obstructed,” making it difficult for you to hear His voice when He speaks, but the Word of God teaches that He is Spirit. Therefore, to hear His voice, you must also live in the Spirit. There are three ways through which we perceive Him: • Hearing Hearing implies to hear spiritually, not physically. Your spirit has a spiritual ear just as your body has a physical ear. Listening with your spiritual ears is one way God speaks to you. When Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 1 Kings 19:13 • Seeing Seeing in the spirit means that the Lord is allowing you to see into the spirit realm. When this happens, you are able to see mental images, visions, and dreams. Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!” Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” John 1:47, 48 • Feeling Feeling is a perception; an intuition of the Holy Spirit within you. It is not knowledge having to do with the physical or carnal senses but a testimony, an impression within your spirit. Except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. Acts 20:23, 24 How can you be sure it is His voice you hear? It is impossible to recognize a counterfeit one hundred-dollar bill if you have never seen the real thing. The counterfeit bill can only be detected if you are familiar with the real thing. This same principle can be applied when you know God’s voice. It is easy to identify the voice of the enemy because you are familiar with the voice of God. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.

In other words, He lives in eternity, where there is no time—present, past, beginning, or end. God inhabits in eternity, and when you are in eternity, you can fix the past, transform the present, and guide your future. Faith is the key to enter His eternity. When you enter, you can lay hold of salvation, deliverance, joy, peace, finances, marital and ministerial prosperity. In eternity, you receive the healings, miracles, promises, and all that God has for you. The presence of God is everywhere, but it does not always manifest itself, for it is necessary to have a humble and contrite heart to drink of that presence, so He can loosen His power. In His presence, we receive revelation of His Word. When we read it, apply it, and let it penetrate our lives, it changes us. Through the teachings of the Bible, the presence of God becomes real in every paragraph, as our hearts receive the revelation to understand and know the purposes that He has for us. - Taken from “From Worship to Warfare” by Prophet Ana Maldonado “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, o God, you will not despise.” - Pslams 51:17 28 supernatural encounters West Palm Beach, FL Los Angeles, CA Valencia, Venezuela South Africa El Chaco, Argentina Tegucigalpa, Honduras Caracas, Venezuela SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS 2012 Valencia, Venezuela Madrid, Spain Durban, South Africa Santiago, Chile Apostle Maldonado speaking to millions of people through TBN Africa along with its CEO, Pastor Andre Roebert and his wife, Jenny. Durban, South Africa REACHING THE WORLD AFRICA After Reading the book by Apostle Maldonado “How to Walk in the Supernatural Power of God,” this pastor received the revelation of the supernatural, seized it, and was ignited with the fire of God’s presence. He testifies that when he applied the biblical teachings in his church, there was an explosion of all types of miracles, and the people responded with greater hunger for God. ASIA Apostle Babu, of India AFRICA ASIA EUROPE EUROPE LATIN AMERICA The Kingdom of God advances with force in every nation on earth. 33 LATIN AMERICA This pastor was also activated in miracles after reading the book “How to Walk in the Supernatural Power of God” by Apostle Guillermo Maldonado A This pastor’s testimony is impacting. He affirms that after being activated to move in the supernatural power of God, the people in his church, specially the youth, are evangelizing in his city with signs of the supernatural power of God. Pastor Lee testifies that “the principles in the book “The Glory of God” also work in China and in Vietnam.” He went to minister at an underground Bible School and leadership meeting, where he taught what he had learned from the book and prayed for the people. Suddenly, everyone fell by the power and the presence of God, and they were all filled by the Holy Spirit, and supernaturally, the sick were healed. Even the leaders of the underground church fell by the power of God and began laughing in the Spirit. They had to make a conscious effort to stop laughing for fear of being discovered. Pastors Jesus Losa and María Jesús Gabarre, from Centro Cristiano Vino Nuevo, in Madrid, Spain, testify that after attending the ESMQ Modules and implementing the revelations and biblical teachings contained in Apostle Maldonado’s books, they are living in a new dimension of healing and miracles. The youth pastor, Rodrigo López, (Iglesia Nueva Generación Internacional, of Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico), testifies that before his parents, Pastors José Luis and Margarita López, came under Apostle Maldonado’s spiritual covering, they only had 83 youth. Now they have more than 5,000 operating under the supernatural power of God, after the membership in his church experienced supernatural growth. 34 TESTIMONIES This nurse testifies that she was activated to operate in healing and miracles after reading the book “How to Walk in the Supernatural Power of God” by Apostle Guillermo Maldonado. One day, in the emergency room of the hospital where she works, a pregnant woman was wheeled in to be induced because her baby was stillborn. She testifies that she prayed for the patient and declared the power of the resurrection of Jesus over the baby. To everyone’s surprise, the baby was born alive and completely healthy! The nurse says that so far, God has used her in three resurrections, in the same hospital where she works. This man arrived connected to an oxygen tank due to pulmonary fibrosis, which also compromised his heart. The doctors had said that he needed to be connected to the tank 24 hours a day because his breathing was labored and couldn’t walk without losing his breath. When Apostle Maldonado declared healing over his lungs and heart, the man, by his own initiative and by faith, disconnected the tank of oxygen and began to run. He was able to breathe perfectly well without feeling tired or losing his breath. He couldn’t do this before! Faith is for “now”! 35 This boy was taken by his mother from Paraguay to Argentina, hoping to receive a miracle. Due to a congenital deformity, his right ear was closed. The ear never developed, and he couldn’t hear from that side. After praying for him, even though his ear was closed, the child affirms that he could hear perfectly well. God created a new ear! This man came to CAP Colombia on a wheelchair, due to intense pain produced by terminal cancer in the abdomen. He testifies that he could easily feel the tumors in the abdominal region, and then affirmed that after Apostle Maldonado released a word of healing, the pain disappeared. He was able to get out of the wheelchair and even run! He also said that he could not feel the tumors and that the inflammation in his body had disappeared! This man testifies that, for many years, he and his wife were unable to conceive children. The previous year, Ipsum Apostleis simply Lorem Maldonado had dummy prayed, breaking text ofthe the printcurse of infertility, and they appropriated ing and typesetting the word. Today they are the happy hasgirl. been the industry’s parents of this beautiful standard This girl was born without the optic nerve or ocular globe on the right side. There was a hole where her eye should be. After praying for her, God did a miracle! He created the ocular globe and a new optic nerve. Now the girl can see perfectly well. Jesus continues to do miracles! 36 The primary purpose of worship is to bring the glory of God in the midst of His people. Today, many “worship” songs used in churches or played on Christian radio stations lack power because they are not based on the Word of God and minister only to the flesh. We must write scriptural songs—songs that can take the sounds of heaven and truly minister who God is, as many of David’s psalms do—songs that pour out constant worship and revealed knowledge. True worship is based on the Word of God and flows from an understanding of that Word. This caus37 es God to back it up—His power and manifestations will confirm it. The Scriptures say, “Take words with you,and return to the Lord…” (Hosea 14:2) True Worship Transforms the Worshipper They have hands, but they do not handle; feet they have, but they do not walk; nor do they mutter through their throat. Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them. (Psalms 115:7–8) In the above passage, we see the rea- son why the Lord wants our worship: He wants us to be like Him. Human beings become the image they worship. This psalm describes individuals who create and worship idols, placing all their trust in them. The result of this is that they become like the object of their worship— lifeless. In contrast, when we worship the true God, in spirit and in truth, we receive new life in Jesus! No one can remain in God’s presence and not change or be transformed, because His light exposes our true condition, and His fire purifies us. Something of Him will come upon us! This happened to Mary, the woman who poured out the very expensive perfume upon the head of Jesus. (See, for example, John 11:2.) Even though her only purpose was to worship Jesus, she left permeated with the perfume of His presence. The same thing happens when we pour out our hearts in worship to God, and His presence descends: we walk away with the aroma of Jesus. This causes other people to want to know Him more, because His essence in us will attract others! Our hearts are the most expensive perfume we can pour out in His presence. —Taken from “The Glory of God” by Guillermo Maldonado. 38
