February 2010 Volume 37 Number 2 Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Crystal Living Waters display at The Holy Land Experience! FREELY — ALL THINGS! “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:32 S o, what do you need? Or even better said, “What do you want?” What if the Lord appeared to you and said, “ASK ME FOR ANYTHING, AND I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU”? He did just that to King Solomon — twice as a matter of fact! Dear, dear partners: If we can ever get it through our doubting heads that God is a GIVING GOD, and that He delights in supplying not just our needs, but also virtually anything we want, it can and will be a new day for us! Let me prove it to you — “Delight yourself in the LORD, and He shall give you [even] the desires of your heart”! Psalm 37:4 The apostle Paul brings this glorious truth into our dispensation with an even stronger word of promise: Since God has given us the greatest gift in all of heaven, HIS VERY OWN SON, God is saying in an awesome way — “Anything else you need or want from me is a small thing indeed!” So, what “THINGS” or needs do you desire? Many today have desperate needs! The whole world is in recession and has been, now, for about two years. Many have lost their jobs, even their homes! Many are at their wit’s end with benefits exhausted and savings virtually gone! “Forget “WANTS” for now; I have desperate needs,” say many! Well, first of all, if we are children of God we have a divine safety net! “I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” Psa. 37:25 Dear partner, take hold of the promises of God and trust in Him! He has not and will not fail you! Praise the Lord! But, what about our theme Scripture — the Word says clearly that, HE WILL “FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS”! Dear partner, get your spiritual key ring out — I have the KEY to your need, your answer! God knew and designed this KEY. Yes, even our God had a need, so what did He do? Here it is: “He delivered him up for us all…”! Oh, please get this — it is the answer to everything you need: GOD GAVE HIS BEST GIFT! Oh, I know, I have heard it with you from nearly every plea for money—“plant your seed”! I have nearly gotten sick from all the “beg-a-thons,” every cry that “we are going under if we do not get your check in the mail tonight!” Yes, the “seed-faith” teaching is true. You, like God, have to plant a seed if you expect a harvest. But, here is the MASTER KEY! Let’s look again at God’s seed — simply put: IT WAS HIS BEST SEED! So, what did God receive as His harvest? You know the answer: Millions of sons and daughters! Hallelujah! And you are one of them — so am I! Praise the Lord! continued on next page… Join your worldwide TBN family for REVIVAL Praise-a-Thon: February 28-March 5. We’ll be praying for YOUR needs! 1/4/10 9:04:24 AM continued from cover… When Jan and I were led to step out in faith to begin blessed TBN — what did we do? Yes, we prayed. Oh, how we prayed! But, we did what God did: we gave our best! We gave our $20,000 life savings, we signed a guarantee pledging our house, our car and our furniture — in short, we pledged or gave our all to see this miracle of TBN come to birth! So, what have we seen as a result? Praise God — over 20,000 TV stations, cable stations, 71 satellite footprints covering the WHOLE WIDE WORLD! Praise the Lord most high! And, you know what? YOU are a part of our miracle — you are a part of our harvest. And, as I have often said, when we — you and Jan and I — get to heaven we will meet the rest of our harvest! Oh, glory, I’m getting happy now! Yes, millions will rise up to call us blessed because we all gave our very best to see this glorious harvest come in! So, if you have not received “ALL THINGS,” as our theme Scripture declares, let me ask you two things — as Jesus did — HAVE YOU GIVEN HIM YOUR BEST SEED? And, secondly: Are you giving into good ground that is winning souls for the Kingdom? I’ve often taught on St. John, chapter 15 — Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches. So, the greatest question of all is: ARE YOU BEARING FRUIT?! Dear partner — here is the final KEY to your need, your desire: “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit…[so] that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” Jn. 15:16 I challenge you in faith that even in this time of need — that you will dare to plant your very best seed into the good ground of TBN! I promise you that you will become an instant FRUIT BEARER as salvation calls are pouring in to YOUR TBN 24/7! Yes, the souls of lost men and women, boys and girls are the fruit that God desires. Make your pledge today. I know it can be fearful at times — it was for Jan and me, but we are a witness: Give your best to God and based on the very Word of God, you can claim our Scripture: “Shall he not with him [Jesus] also freely give us all things?” Jan and I will join you: FEBRUARY 28 — MARCH 5 as we rejoice for even more fruit for the Kingdom! We love you and it will be 37 years long and even stronger as we see the final line in view! FOR ANY PLEDGE OR GIFT: A Tribute to Dr. Oral Roberts January 24, 1918 – December 15, 2009 W e are so thankful for the commitment to spread the Gospel message of salvation and healing that our dear friend, Dr. Oral Roberts, made to God. A sawdust pioneer who brought his tent revivals into the 20th century by means of radio and television, he became a spiritual father to millions around the world and blazed the trail for all of us who are now in Christian television. Jan and I will always be grateful for Dr. Roberts’ support for TBN, and will forever treasure his messages of inspiration as he encouraged us to expand the vision and outreach of TBN to cover the whole wide world. While we will miss his wonderful smile, wise and encouraging words and precious prayers, we rejoice to know he is now in the presence of Jesus enjoying the rich rewards of a life spent in faithful service to our Savior. RESURRECTION STAINED GLASS REPLICA What could be more glorious and exciting than our Jesus bursting forth from the tomb? We have taken my favorite stained glass window and miniaturized it into a decorator item to give you a shout of praise anytime you view it! This inspiring scene of Jesus depicts His triumph over death, hell and the grave! “Behold, I am he that liveth, and was dead, but I am alive forevermore, Amen! And have the keys of hell and death”! (Rev. 1:18) Wow! This unique framed art piece will bring joy to all who see it wherever you choose to display it. Your pledge or love gift to TBN will bring you our number one Praise-a-Thon gift this coming month of March. You may make or renew your pledge with the enclosed coupon and envelope or on our secure website: www.tbn.org. God bless you. Jan and I will join you as we give to keep YOUR TBN on the air—WORLDWIDE!

FEBRUARY LOVE GIFT SEND YOUR LOVE GIFT TODAY TO: TBN, P.O.

The cross shaped container is of itself a handsome decorator piece anywhere you choose to display it. Your love gift or Praise-a-Thon pledge will bring this unique reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice to you this month of February only.

YOU MAY MAKE OR RENEW YOUR PLEDGE BY MAIL OR BY GOING TO TBN’S SECURE WEBSITE: www.tbn.org So, when the Word says, “He will freely give us all things” (Rom. 8:32), does “all” really mean ALL? Well, it surely seems so as we read on in John: “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7 Ah, but here is the KEY: “If my words abide in you.” So, what is this WORD? First, please list ALL the things that you need, or even want. WOW! Some of you will need another sheet or two of paper! Dear partners, here is that “WORD” or KEY which, if you use it, will open the DOOR to your NEED! “I have chosen you…that ye should go and bring forth fruit….” Jn. 15:16 And, you know what kind of “fruit” Jesus desires? SOULS FOR HIS KINGDOM! Now, here it is if you will receive it: “[So that] whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you”! Jn. 15:16b Fruit bearers REJOICE! Now you know what brings you, “ALL THINGS”! Precious partners, you can become an instant “FRUIT BEARER” by winning souls through supporting TBN! Make your pledge or gift today—THEN ASK FOR “ALL THINGS”! It works! We love you! (jewelry not included) A limited quantity of love gifts is ordered each month. If we run out of the gift, a substitute will be sent in its place. The love gifts offered are not for sale. Please do not ask for more than one love gift. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery. NO PHONE ORDERS, PLEASE. Keep the lines open for Salvation, Prayer and Pledge Calls ONLY. God bless you! 30314 TBN_MPC2_CS3.indd 2 CRYSTAL COMMUNION SET A beautiful, clear crystal glass plate with two matching cups. The plate has a slight indentation to hold the bread, the glasses classically shaped for the wine or juice to accommodate your particular tradition. Many Believers partake of Holy Communion daily as a part of their prayer or quiet time with the Lord. Also, we occasionally celebrate the Lord’s Supper on TV and invite viewers and partners to join us in their homes. With this very precious communion set, you will be ready to partake in this holy ordinance of Christ’s church. Jesus encouraged us to simply, “remember Him” as we celebrate His last supper: “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he comes.” 1 Cor. 11:26 Praise God—as we celebrate this most beautiful ordinance, let us rejoice, looking forward to that “GREAT SUPPER OF THE LAMB” which Jesus is preparing for us even now in heaven! Praise the Lord! Your pledge or love gift indicated above will bring this special gift to you with our love and prayers. To receive the Praise-A-Thon gifts, it is necessary to make a pledge by mail, telephone or via the Internet at www.tbn.org. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery of pledge gifts and love gifts. © 2010 Trinity Broadcasting Network. All Rights Reserved.
