BROTHER SWAGGART
RELEASES HIS FIRST ALBUM
THIS OCTOBER MARKS THE 60th anniversary of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries. To commemorate, The
Evangelist will be running a yearlong series of articles about the music and the message that have ministered to three generations of
listeners. Whether people heard Brother Swaggart preach and sing in those first rural churches, on the radio during the Campmeeting
Hour, or on the telecast that was viewed by millions, they sensed and responded to the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which only comes
through complete obedience to the Lord. That obedience—demonstrated through the hearts and lives of Jimmy and Frances Swaggart — is the hallmark of this ministry. It is in that spirit that we celebrate what the Lord has done throughout six decades in His service.
THE FIRST ALBUM
Music is an integral part of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries. It started with an 8-year-old
boy asking the Lord for the ability to play the piano, and the Lord answering his
prayer. For the young Jimmy Swaggart, playing the piano and worshipping the
Lord came before standing in front of a pulpit, and that progression remains in
place today. From the time he started preaching until now, Brother Swaggart has
always started every service with anointed singing before ministering the Word;
singing always complemented by his God-given skills as a musician.
His very first album, Some Golden Daybreak was produced in 1958. According
to Brother Swaggart, that record became an immediate favorite with people who
attended those first revival meetings with the young evangelist.
“I knew we had picked out good songs,” he said, “yet I felt as if God was trying to say
something more through the comments of the people who were being blessed. It was
as though He was telling me that I was going to touch many people through records.”
Jimmy went on to say that it was Frances who insisted on sending copies of the
album to Gospel radio stations. “But I couldn’t see that,” he said. “‘Why would
anybody want my record?’ But she was adamant. She said, ‘Well, I think the record
is good and people would enjoy it.’”
It seems that they were both right. Since the start of this ministry, Brother Swaggart
has recorded more than 50 gospel albums and sold nearly 16 million recordings
worldwide. Brother Swaggart’s response to the success of his music is the same
today as what was printed on the back of that first album: “To God be all the glory.”
As well, the back cover of Some Golden Daybreak includes thoughts from Frances and Donnie Swaggart on what was clearly the launch of gospel music history.
Following are some of those thoughts that Frances and Donnie had, which they
included on that first album cover: “Well, everybody says Jimmy is different, and
we suppose he is. Why? Everything that God touches is different. We think you
can listen to these songs and tell that when he plays and sings, it’s with his soul,
nothing halfway. He often says you have to feel it to tell it.
“Jimmy comes from a family of musicians, some of them who have risen to heights
in the entertainment world, with Jerry Lee Lewis, one of America’s outstanding
song stylists, being one of them. Possibly, if Jim had chosen to do so, he could
have gained the heights of popularity along with his cousins, but Jesus said, ‘What
shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?’ We’re glad we
can say that Jimmy’s talent—as Naboth told Ahab—is not for sale.”
ONE MINISTRY. ONE MESSAGE. 60 YEARS.
The Rise of the
Antichrist part i
By Jimmy Swaggart
Despite Calvary,
Satan still
believes that
he is going to
take the day. In
fact, his greatest
thrust — his
greatest effort — is
just ahead.
MANY PEOPLE ASK THE question, “Cannot
Satan read the Bible, which tells of his utter
defeat?” Of course, he can; however, he is so
self-deceived that he does not believe the Bible.
Despite Calvary, Satan still believes that he
is going to take the day. In fact, his greatest
thrust — his greatest effort — is just ahead. He
will empower the Antichrist as he has empowered no other man in human history.
This man is referred to in the Bible as the
“Beast” (Rev. 13:1), the “Antichrist” (I Jn. 2:18),
“Gog” (Ezek. 39:1), “that Wicked” (II Thess. 2:8),
and “that Man of Sin” (II Thess. 2:3).
WHO WILL HE BE?
As to whom he is, the Bible doesn’t say.
I think it is obvious, however, that he will have
to be a Jew. The Jews would in no way accept
a Gentile as their proposed Messiah. They will
accept this man, claiming him to be their Messiah, which means that he has to be Jewish.
Considering that Jews are scattered all over the
world, this means that he could come from any
number of places.
The Jews are a peculiar people. Having been
out of the will of God for more than 2,000
years, it has taken a deadly toll on them and
their nature. In this country of America, some
few Jews are conservative, but most are liberal,
even extremely liberal.
6 JANUARY 2015 THE EVANGELIST
Netanyahu was the other speaker. He was not
prime minister of Israel then, with such coming
a little later.
After the session was over, I had the opportunity to meet the man who is now the prime
minister of Israel.
I recall almost nothing about the meeting, but I
do remember that when I walked away, I sensed
in my spirit that this man was going to play a
great part in the future of Israel. At any rate,
I had been asked previously to meet with the
Jewish liaison to Congress after the meeting was
ended. I spent nearly two hours with the man.
He mentioned to me that he did not understand how that President Reagan, whom most
Jews did not support, had turned out to be one
of the greatest friends, if not the greatest friend,
that the nation of Israel ever had. Thinking
that all conservatives were opposed to Israel,
he asked me how this could be.
I explained to him that the Christian movement in America was mostly conservative, but
yet, loved Israel very, very much. I went on to
tell him how that I felt that President Reagan
personally had positive feelings toward Israel,
but, as well, he was, no doubt, helped along,
as it regarded Israel, by the hundreds of thousands of born-again believers in this nation.
A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
So, from that conversation, it is easy for me
to see how that Israel can accept a Jew from
almost anywhere, assuming that he meets
with their approval.
If I remember correctly, the year was 1987. I
was asked to speak at a Jewish symposium
in Washington, D.C. Influential Jews would
be present from all over America. Benjamin
There is some biblical indication that the Man
of Sin will be a Syrian Jew (Dan. 11:40). However, we must understand that the country of
origin of the “king of the north,” who will be

the Antichrist, includes modern Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. Actually, Iran,
Afghanistan, and even some of modern Pakistan were also included in the
old Syrian division of the Grecian Empire. However, some say they are not to
be included because they were not a part of the old Roman Empire territory
from which the 10 horns came up (Dan. 7:7). Possibly, that is true, but not
necessarily so.
Some claim that the Antichrist will be a reincarnation of Judas, while others
claim that he will be a reincarnation of Alexander the Great, etc. There is
nothing biblical that supports a reincarnation of anyone.

indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life. (Rom.
6:3-14; 8:1-2, 11)
THE DEBUT OF THE MAN OF SIN
The Antichrist will make his debut, promising great peace, and will be
believed by much of the world. Concerning this, the Scripture says: “And I
saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals (refers to the crucified, risen Christ,
and is proven by the use of the word Lamb), and I heard, as it were the noise
of thunder, one of the four beasts (living creatures) saying, Come and see. (This
will follow the rapture of the church, but we aren’t told exactly how long after
the rapture the great tribulation will come. ‘Come and see,’ says that it is
destined and cannot be avoided.)
“And I saw, and behold a white horse (symbolic; proclaims the Antichrist presenting himself to the world as a prince of peace): and he who sat on him had
a bow (mentions no arrows; he preaches peace, but is preparing for war, as
symbolized by the ‘bow’); and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth
conquering, and to conquer. (The ‘crown’ represents the fact that he will conquer many countries. At first, he does so by peace, but will quickly graduate
to war)” (Rev. 6:1-2).
THE SEVEN-YEAR CONCORD WITH ISRAEL
As we have already stated, Israel, and especially Jerusalem, is the flash point
of the world at this time. Surrounded by more than 100 million Muslims,
who swear her destruction, she occupies a very precarious position. And
then, her greatest benefactor of all, the United States, is weakening in its
resolve toward her. In fact, the Obama Administration is not only not favorable toward Israel but, if the truth be known, actively opposes her.
Since the administration of Jimmy Carter, the brightest minds have tried to
solve the thorny problem of Israel and the Palestinians. Most of the world
thinks that the problem is that Israel will not give land to the Palestinians in
order that they might form a nation. Nothing could be further from the truth!
As Arafat once said, “We will win out over Israel by the means of peace — piece
by piece.” The truth is, the Muslim world demands the entirety of the nation
of Israel, with Jerusalem as their capital and the country then named Palestine. As well, they want every Jew dead.
It must be remembered that every war between Israel and the surrounding
Arab countries such as Egypt and Syria has always been instigated by the
Muslims. Israel did not start any of these wars, and yet, they have won every
war and then allowed the Palestinians to remain in Israel. If the situation

THE PRICELESS CORNER
We have set aside this corner of The Evangelist to show
God’s Plan of Salvation. If you are unsure where you will go
when you die, please listen to what God has said in His Word:
FIRST: GOD LOVES YOU!
“For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but
have Everlasting Life” (Jn. 3:16).
SECOND: MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN
HAS SEPARATED HIM FROM GOD
“For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and
sinneth not” (Eccl. 7:20).
“For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God”
(Rom. 3:23).
THIRD: JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REMEDY FOR SIN
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that He might bring us to God ...” (I Pet. 3:18).
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other
name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved” (Acts 4:12).
FOURTH: YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST
AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR
Jesus calls this experience the “new bir th.” 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).
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. Box 262550, Baton Rouge, LA 70826-2550. In Canada,

was reversed, and the Muslims had
their way, meaning they had won any
one of these wars, they would have
slaughtered every single Jew. However,
the world doesn’t see that because
they don’t want to see that. In fact,
the world as a whole wouldn’t care if
Ahmadinejad was able to secure for
himself an atomic bomb and then
would use it on Israel.
The only friend in the world that Israel
has presently is Canada and what is
left of the friendship of America.
the opening remarks were, the entire
hour was spent discussing Israel and
it becoming a state in 1948.
Mr. Clifford stated how that he was
the youngest advisor to President
Truman. He went on to state that due
to his youthfulness, he had so little
place and position that his advice
was little sought at that time. While
he was present at all the Cabinet
meetings, still, it was almost nothing
but look and listen.
So, the brightest minds in America, as
already stated, from the time of Jimmy
Carter, have tried to solve this thorny
problem between Israel and the Palestinians, but with no success. President
Bush bragged to the world that before
he left office, there would be a peace
treaty between Israel and the Palestinians. It did not happen!
President Truman’s closest friend was
George Marshall, and Marshall was
vehemently opposed to the formation
of the state of Israel. So, the argument
flew back and forth.
In answer to the questions posed by
the host, Clifford stated that he felt
very strongly about Israel becoming
a state, how that state must be in the
same boundaries as in the Bible, and
the state must be named “Israel.” He
was asked why he felt that way; was
he Jewish?
“No,” he answered, “I’m not Jewish.”
He remarked as to how he did not
understand why he felt as he did but
in his thinking, but he felt he had to
somehow get his views to the president. So, he wrote a letter.
CLARK CLIFFORD
As the interview began, it was
announced by the host that they
would discuss this man’s life, and considering his experience, it promised
to be a very eye-opening interview,
which it was. However, despite what
There were others who claimed that
wherever a state for these ancient
people was made possible, it should be
named something other than Israel.
THE LETTER
Actually, there is no such thing as Palestinians. The name is derived from
the ancient Philistines, and, to be sure,
there are no Philistines remaining.
The people in Israel, who refer to themselves as Palestinians, are actually Jordanians, Syrians, Egyptians, etc.
Sometime back, I had the opportunity to hear a most interesting interview with Clark Clifford, who had
been an advisor to every democratic
president from Harry Truman all the
way to Jimmy Carter. Consequently,
he had witnessed so much of modernday history. As far as I know, this
was the last interview that he gave
before he died.
Hitler had slaughtered more than 6
million of these people, and it seems
that very little had been done to try to
stop the slaughter.
PRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN & ADVISOR CLARK CLIFFORD
Mr. Clifford talked about the great
struggle in the mind of President
Truman as it regarded the formation of the state of Israel. There were
arguments about everything. One of
the president’s closest friends, George
Marshall, even suggested that America purchase a small country in Central America and give that to the Jews.
It must be understood that at that
particular time, with World War II
having just ended, America, plus
many other nations, had a guilty
conscience as it regarded the Jews.
He stated that he couldn’t get an audience with the president, so, assured
that the letter would be delivered to
the Oval Office, he put down on paper
that which he felt about Israel.
A couple of weeks passed, and he
forgot about the letter. Then the president’s secretary called him, stating,
“Mr. Clifford, the president wants to
see you. Would you be in his office
in the morning at 9 a.m.?” He asked
the secretary, “Do you know what the
president wants?”
She answered in the negative.
The next morning, he was there as he
had been called.

He stated how that he walked into the Oval Office
and stood before the desk of the president. President
Truman was looking down at a letter on his desk
and after a few moments, Mr. Clifford recognized it
as his letter.
President Truman finally looked up to his youthful advisor and asked, “Clark, why do you feel
this strongly about Israel, actually stating that her
boundaries must be the biblical boundaries, and
that this new state must be called ‘Israel’?”
The question threw him, he went on to say. He had
no time to think up an answer. Why did he feel as
strongly as he did?
He finally blurted out, “Mr. President, I feel as I do
because it is the right thing to do.”
He said that the president looked at him for a few
moments and then finally said, “Thank you Clark;
that’s all.”
He turned and walked from the room, not really
knowing if the president appreciated his answer or
not. At any rate, he stated that in a couple of weeks,
the president announced to the world that he was
going to throw the full weight and prestige of the
United States of America behind the formation of
a state for the Jews, that it must be in the biblical
boundaries, and that it must be named “Israel.”
He went on to say that he had no idea if his letter
had anything to do with the president’s decision, but
he did feel that if he had any influence at all on the
president, this was one of the greatest things that he
accomplished in his many years of serving as advisor
to a number of democratic presidents.
ISRAEL
In fact, shortly before President Truman died, he was
taking his customary walk, which he did every morning. That particular morning, a reporter was with him.
He was going to write an article on the president, and
he was doing all he could to get some information.
He asked the president, “What do you consider to be
the thing that you are most proud of that you were
able to accomplish as president?”
He was speaking with the man who had given the
orders to drop two atomic bombs on Japan, which
ended World War II. This was the man, as well,
who had instigated the Marshall Plan to save
Western Europe from communism.
The president looked at him and said, “I consider the most important thing that I was able
to accomplish while in office was the part I
played in helping Israel to become a nation.”
The reporter was taken somewhat aback,
expecting another answer.
As stated, this was not long before the president
passed away. Quite possibly, spiritual things
were on his mind. Irrespective, his answer was
absolutely correct. He had been led by the Lord
to do what he did, in other words, God used
him to help fulfill Bible prophecy. Nothing
could be more important than that.
THE BEGINNING OF THE
GREAT TRIBULATION
At the moment the Antichrist signs the
seven-year agreement between Israel and
the Muslim world, the great tribulation will
begin. As we’ve already stated, he will be
able to do what the brightest minds in America and elsewhere in the world have not been
able to do — bring together the Israelis and the
Muslims. How will he do that?
As we’ve also already stated, the Man of Sin
will be anointed by the powers of darkness
as no other human being has ever been. In
other words, Satan will invest more in this
man than he has invested in any other down
through the ages. This is Satan’s fell swoop,
so to speak. If he doesn’t carry out his scheme
now to become master of the universe, in
other words, dethroning God, he will never
be able to do it. This is it, the moment which
he has worked toward even from the dawn
of time.
To be sure, Satan is self-deceived. He is so
deceived that despite what he knows about
God as the Creator and being all-powerful
and all-knowing, still, he actually thinks that
he will be able to overcome the Lord and set
his throne up in the place of God.
SATAN
The great Prophet Isaiah gives us a clue as
to the thinking of the Evil One. Through the
prophet, the Holy Spirit tells us: “How are you
fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which
did weaken the nations! (Isaiah’s prophecy now
switches from the Antichrist to his unholy
sponsor, Satan himself. ‘Lucifer’ is the name
of Satan. Actually, he is an angel, originally
created by God, who served the Lord in righteousness for an undetermined period of time.
When he fell, he led a revolution against God,
with about one-third of the angels, it seems,
throwing in their lot with him [Rev. 12:4].
Therefore, all the pain, suffering, misery,
heartache, death, and deception, which have
ruled the nations from the very beginning,
can be laid at the doorstep of this revolution
headed up by Satan).”
All the pain,
suffering, misery,
heartache, death,
and deception,
which have ruled
the nations
from the very
beginning, can
be laid at the
doorstep of this
revolution headed
up by Satan.
I WILL BE LIKE GOD?
“For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into
Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will
be like the Most High. (In these two verses, we
see the foment of Satan’s rebellion and revolution against God. It seems that Lucifer, while
true to the Lord, was given dominion of the
earth, which was before Adam. After his fall,
he worked deceitfully to get other angelic rulers
to follow him in his war against God.)
“Yet you shall be brought down to Hell, to the sides
of the pit. (This would be the lot of Satan and
all who seek to be like God, but in a wrong
way, in effect, by making themselves god)”
(Isa. 14:12-15).
The Evil One has deceived himself in the same
manner that he has deceived much of the world
and for all time. However, the conclusion for
him, and for all who have followed him, and
who do follow him, will be eternal Hell, i.e.,
“the lake of fire” (Rev. 20:10).
11
A WEEK OF YEARS
How is it that we know this agreement, which
will be signed by the Antichrist, plus Israel and
the Muslims, and, no doubt, others, as well, will
last for seven years?
Daniel is the prophet who gave this information
and did so about 2,500 years ago. The account is
found in Chapter 9 of the book of Daniel.
The great prophet, it seems, had been in prayer
before the Lord for a period of time. At a given
point, the angel Gabriel appeared to him.
GABRIEL
Daniel declared
that Jerusalem
has been called
by God’s name
and has been
chosen by God.
Actually, it will be
the capital of His
eternal kingdom
on earth .
I will quote verbatim from The Expositor’s Study
Bible: “And while I was speaking, and praying, and
confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and
presenting my supplication before the Lord my God
for the holy mountain of my God (Daniel declared
that Jerusalem has been called by God’s name
and has been chosen by God. Actually, it will be
the capital of His eternal kingdom on earth [Ps.
2:6; 48:2; 87:2; 102:16; 132:13; Isa. 2:2-4; Ezek.,
Chpt. 48; Zech., Chpt. 14]);
“Yes, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man
Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the
time of the evening oblation. (Once again, Gabriel
is sent to Daniel’s side. The phrase, ‘About the
time of the evening oblation,’ referred to 3 p.m.,
which was the time of the evening sacrifice;
however, this does not imply that those offerings
were made in Babylon, but simply that, through
the nearly 70 years that had intervened since
the fall of Jerusalem, the sacred hour had been
kept in remembrance, and possibly as one consecrated to prayer.)
UNDERSTANDING
“And he informed me, and talked with me, and
said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you
skill and understanding. (‘To give you skill and
understanding,’ refers to the future of Israel
and last-day events.)
“At the beginning of your supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show

you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. (The
study of Bible prophecy was not for Daniel a
mere intellectual entertainment but moral and
spiritual nourishment.)
SEVENTY WEEKS OF YEARS
“Seventy weeks are determined upon your people
(Israel) and upon your holy city (Jerusalem), to
finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins,
and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring
in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision
and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. (‘Seventy weeks are determined upon your people,’
actually means 70 sevens, which translates into
490 years. This period of time has to do with
‘your people’ and ‘your holy city,’ referring to
the Jews and Jerusalem. The second coming of
Christ and their acceptance of Him will ‘finish
the transgression.’
“‘To make reconciliation [atonement] for iniquity,’ refers to the fact that Israel will not only
accept Christ at the second coming but will also
accept what He did for us at Calvary. One can
well imagine this moment, for they are the ones
who crucified Christ.
“The phrase, ‘To anoint the Most Holy,’ has to do
with the building of the millennial temple, even
as described by Ezekiel in Chapters 40 through
48 of his book)” (Dan. 9:20-24).

THE WILLFUL SIN part v by frances swaggart
THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF FRANCES’ ARTICLE IN THE EVANGELIST FROM NOVEMBER 2014.
THERE ARE CHRISTIAN LEADERS proclaiming that a one-world religion is
necessary for a one-world order, and they are working hard to convince the
church that this endeavor is part of the Christian’s faith and duty.
Evil and corrupt
governing forces
are a foe to the
true Gospel, not
a friend! But,
through the
prayers, faith,
and message of
His servants, the
Lord can meet the
needs of people
and nations.
However, was this really the duty assigned to
believers by Christ? No! The Great Commission
given to the church was to preach the Gospel to
the world, and we were given authority over the
hindering spirits of the world to do such! Christians
needed this authority so that the Message of the
Cross could be spread. Evil and corrupt governing
forces are a foe to the true Gospel, not a friend!
But, through the prayers, faith, and message of His
servants, the Lord can meet the needs of people
and nations. As the Word of God is spread, miracles, healings, and deliverances follow. The Bible
never said that the church would bring peace to
the world by joining sociopolitical organizations,
doing manual labor, or performing volunteer work!
Rather, the power of God, working through the
Message of the Cross, was to meet the needs of
those who would accept Christ as their personal
Saviour and Lord.
SOCIAL ACTION!
However, there are many popular preachers allowing the true Gospel message to take a backseat
while they focus on defeating global issues at any
cost. In the name of missions, these religious leaders allow social action — organized programs of
socioeconomic reform — to take precedence above
all else, but this is not real mission work. Again, real
Christian missions are the spread of the Gospel.
14
Many believers were martyred in past centuries
for the uncompromised message of truth they
preached, not for ending world hunger.
Nevertheless, these so-called Christian leaders
focus their followers on slaying the “global giants,”
preaching that problems of illiteracy, disease, and
the like are so big that everybody has failed to solve
them, including the United States and the United
Nations. They claim that the reason nobody has
solved these massive problems is because the true
solution requires government, businesses, and
churches to unite and work in harmony and shared
strength in order to produce the desired result of
national stability.
Sadly, a majority of today’s church agrees with this
plan. Yet, has anyone stopped to consider just what
authority we are enthroning? Don’t be naïve! Utopian dreams can end in total slavery. Again, where
is this type of plan found in Scripture?
WAKE-UP CHURCH!
These are clearly the plans of a mere man and,
therefore, without any godly authority. Wake-up
church! Who are you serving? Another voice has
led you astray, and because this plan is not found
in Scripture, you will find yourself serving another.
Bear in mind, it is the Antichrist who will attempt
to rule a quasi-religious dictatorship. This wicked

man will even come in the name of peace “and
by peace shall destroy many” (Dan. 8:25). When
you leave the Word of God, you will end up on the
wrong team! You see, for the globalists, unity is
the name of the game!
Former U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles,
also a leader of the Council of Foreign Relations
(CFR), predicted that the social structure of a
“just world society” would be modeled on the
prototypes of totalitarian countries like Soviet
Russia and Nazi Germany. It was said of Dulles,
one of the chief architects and propagators of
this movement, that he believed the use of propaganda was essential in shifting public opinion
in America from its traditional isolationist stance
to a new policy of interdependence. In pursuit
of this highly-orchestrated campaign to change
public opinion, Dulles and other CFR moguls
worked to transform the ideology of the churches,
including an essay by Dulles entitled “The Problem
Of Peace In A Dynamic World,” which printed in
several publications.
Commenting on this essay, Dr. Martin Erdmann
wrote: “Dulles outlined the basic concepts of
peaceful change and attacked what he regarded
to be an unhealthy and obsolete concept of
national sovereignty … Human egotism could
only be offset, he asserted, by superseding it with
‘some sentiment more dominant and gripping,
which would contain the elements of universality
as against particularity.’ No other organization
would be as uniquely qualified to accomplish this
task as the church. Dulles idealized the Christian
church as an exemplary community which had
demonstrated the ability to transcend the limitations of the nation state.”
doctrine. There is no biblical unity with unbelievers and/or false doctrine. God unifies and creates
a body of people based on His truth, and it is only
those people who will be able to work together to
serve His true cause. The Bible says, “they shall be
one in My hand” (Ezek. 37:19). You see, the natural result of believers associating with the world
and/or the apostate church is that they will soon
discover they cannot preach against sin. If they
do, the great and wonderful unity will quickly be
broken. Unbelievers do not want to hear about
their sins and idolatry. They do not want to be
told, “Repent!” In circumstances of false unity, one
group of people will end up influencing the other,
and the chances are, believers will end up compromising their position of truth. Your methods
can change your message, and if you change your
message, remember, it is considered willful sin!
Paul tells us in I Corinthians 15:33, “be not deceived
(the statement actually says, ‘do not go on being
deceived!’ meaning that many Corinthians had
already been deceived into believing there was
no resurrection): evil communications corrupt
good manners (should have been translated, ‘evil
occasions corrupt excellent morals’).”
EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE!
“Every wind of doctrine” (Eph. 4:14) pushes its
audience this way and that; few Christians are able
to resist it. For years, false teachings have moved
the church in a wrong direction. Many precious
Christians started off with good intentions only to
find themselves shipwrecked alongside the others
they befriended. Standing for the truth and giving
a good defense of the Gospel is more important
to God than friendships that could cause you to
For years, false
teachings have

church in a

Many precious

alongside the

Dulles’ goal was to motivate the churches to
become actively involved in building a global
society. You can easily see his plans are not about
Jesus Christ but the social gospel designed for a
one-world religion!
GLOBALIZATION?
Because of the global order being formed, unity
must also be a part of the new gospel that is
being preached to the church, but all of this unity
is unbiblical! There is a type of unity taught in the
Bible, but it refers only to the unity of belief and
15
THE WILLFUL SIN PART V
compromise the Gospel. It is the truth of Scripture
that matters first, not the popularity of a ministry
or preacher. Jesus told the people the truth even
though it offended the religious crowd. Nothing
has changed today. If you stand for the truth
of Scripture, those who are exposed will always
respond in anger. Just expect it!
However, one only
has to look at the
condition that the
world is in today to
see that these oneworld plans have
not succeeded.
However, one only has to look at the condition that
the world is in today to see that these one-world
plans have not succeeded. Our government is in
its worst shape since it was founded. Business is
so full of corruption that it is in total disarray, and
the church is anything but healthy. Overall, the
church in America is weak and weary — not strong,
not well, and not healthy! Her voice is diminishing
because the message has been so watered down!
The church’s integrity is lost, and her leaders are
not leading. There are damnable doctrines that
have been brought into the church today as part
of modern religious ideas.
In all of these religious peace plans, the preaching
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not mentioned
because in order to partner with the other religions
of the world, it had to be left out. Again, unbiblical
methods end up changing the message!
THE FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS
The preaching of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection would be an offense to those who believe
other methods for salvation and living. The Muslims and the Hindus would not partner with anyone
if the true Gospel message were the focal point.
As these one-world preachers well know, others
will be offended too, and so they compromise to
advance their “giant” agendas.
Actually, the whole premise of their giant agenda,
which includes global disease, illiteracy, and
poverty, is untrue. There is only one giant that
needs to be defeated, and that is sin. Sin is what
produces all these other problems. The entire
cause of every crisis of mankind is sin, and until
it is addressed as such, man’s problems will continue! What we really see here is not the truth of
the Bible being taught, but rather a change agent
at work, shifting the hearts of men away from
Jesus to “another Jesus” (II Cor. 11:4). The true
Jesus and His finished work at the Cross is the
only remedy, and unless the world accepts this,
16
we will always have poverty, disease, illiteracy,
corrupt leadership, and spiritual emptiness.
SERVING SELF
Jesus Christ and His redeeming power to save
men from their evil ways is being replaced by the
false gospel of servitude. Serving man rather than
serving Jesus Christ is the message of today’s false
prophets. Of course, they will deny such, but their
fruits prove otherwise. Another false gospel of
servitude is the Word of Faith teaching on positive confession. It involves serving self rather than
Christ. So-called Christian TV has become the
medium for the money gospel; for the most part,
they have a monopoly on Christian airwaves. They
preach and teach a scheme they call “seed faith”
and that such is the means for health and prosperity
when, in fact, the seed faith principle, when taught
right, is scriptural. I think we could call the modern
variety a Ponzi scheme. They take money from
faithful Christians only to use it for themselves.
These false preachers become richer while the
average layman becomes poorer. For years, their
teachings have moved the church in the wrong
direction, affecting evangelism, discipleship, and
tithing. Tithing has, in fact, been redefined by
this crowd. People are no longer giving to God
because they love Him and want to help further
the message of Jesus to a hurting and dying
world. People are now giving to get rich! This is
indisputably the rotten fruit of a man-made gospel!
Indeed, we have every wind of doctrine being
preached through the airwaves and in the churches
today. All of this is, of course, being preached by
men who claim to be Spirit-filled, anointed prophets, and apostles. In reality, they are without the
Spirit, have become carnally minded, and/or have
succumbed to seducing spirits.
The Bible says that if preachers do not speak
according to the Word, then they have no light
in them. Isaiah 8:20 states: “To the law and to
the testimony: if they speak not according to
this Word, it is because there is no light in them.
(The great question should always be, about
any situation: is it biblical?)” Believers, you are
responsible to follow God’s Word, not your favorite personality or the man who’s telling you what
you want to hear! Your heart must fully desire the
truth, or the wrong desires still left in your heart
will pull you away from the faith!

I WILL REMEMBER by donnie swaggart
Psalms 77:10-12 – “And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the
most High. I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember Your wonders of old. I will
meditate also of all Your work, and talk of Your doings.”
Satan is a liar. He
is an accuser. He
bombards our
minds with all
kinds of thoughts
of some horrible
outcome and
the lie that the
Lord doesn’t care
about us.
PSALM 77 WAS WRITTEN by Asaph.
Asaph was one of the great choir directors
during David’s time as it regarded the ministry of tabernacle worship. Asaph wrote 12
psalms, both the words and the music, and
then presented them in tabernacle worship.
As well, according to Matthew 13:35, Asaph
was also considered a prophet.
TROUBLE
In Verse 2 of Psalm 77, Asaph states, “In the
day of my trouble.” While we don’t know
exactly what kind of trouble Asaph was
experiencing, it was obviously something
of great consternation. He would also say,
“my sore ran in the night, and ceased not,”
meaning there was no rest for him.
The “trouble” was Satan using his situation
to try and convince Asaph that the Lord was
not interested in helping him. In Verse 7,
he asked, “Will the Lord cast off forever?
and will He be favorable no more?” Verse
8 states, “Is His mercy clean gone forever?
does His promise fail forevermore?”
SATAN’S WAYS
Satan is a liar. He is an accuser. He bombards our minds with all kinds of thoughts
of some horrible outcome and the lie that
the Lord doesn’t care about us. He wants us
to believe the lie. He wants us to dwell on
the negative, but just think for a moment.
Every one of us has endured times of great
crisis, and we have experienced the voice
of Satan telling us all the bad things that
are going to happen, yet, we are all still
here. If Satan could do all the things that
he tries to convince us, don’t you think he
would have already done it?
Trouble and distress are going to happen.
You need to understand that. There is no
such thing as a life of ease and comfort.
For faith to grow and mature, faith must
be tested.
Satan’s desire is for us to take our eyes and
thoughts off the Lord and to put them upon
us and the problem. Preoccupation with
self gives Satan the stronghold he desires.
When we focus on self, self becomes larger
and larger, and the Lord becomes smaller
and smaller. So, what are we to do? The
answer is found in this psalm.
SEEK THE LORD
Asaph states, “In the day of my trouble,
I sought the Lord.” Faith and fellowship
cannot grow without relationship, and relationship can only develop through prayer.
Visit my website at www.donnieswaggart.org
I WILL REMEMBER
To seek the Lord speaks of prayer. It is through prayer that the
Holy Spirit can deal with us, speak to us, and give us comfort
and direction.
The majority of the church world today has become so psychological that we are no longer told to seek the Lord, but
we are told to get “professional help.” Man cannot help you.
Only the Lord can help you, and besides, you can’t get any
more professional than the One who created the heavens
and the earth.
I WILL REMEMBER
In Verse 10, Asaph then said, “But I will remember the years
of the right hand of the most High.” Remember what? We
are to remember all of our past blessings in Christ Jesus. We
are to remember from where Christ brought us. We were lost,
sinners headed for judgment and damnation, but Jesus Christ
saved us, cleansed us from sin, and adopted us into His family.
As we remember His past workings on our behalf, then faith
begins to grow for today and for the future.
the Bible. We are to read them, think on them, speak them,
and pray them. When this is done, then the Lord becomes
bigger and the problem becomes smaller.
MEDITATE
In Verse 12, Asaph said, “I will meditate also of all Your work.”
This means that we should constantly be thinking of that
which the Lord has done, which, in turn, builds faith. You can
meditate on self and become self-absorbed, or you can think
on the good things of the Lord.
There is an old spiritual that says: “I woke up this morning
with my mind stayed on Jesus.” Just think how much easier
our lives would be if our minds were constantly meditating on
Christ Jesus.
TALK
He then said in Verse 11, “I will remember the works of the
Lord.” We are to remember what is given in His Word — all of
His great acts for us.
Luke 6:45 says, “For of the abundance of the heart his mouth
speaks.” The more you talk of all the Lord’s doings, the more
faith begins to grow. The more you talk of your problems,
the more doubt and faithlessness grows. Murmuring and
complaining never develops faith, but constant speaking of
the Lord and His mighty acts will always produce faith.
He went on to say, “Surely I will remember Your wonders of
old.” This statement refers to all the mighty miracles found in
What do you remember? What do you meditate on? What
do you speak?

FORMER CATHOLIC IMPRESSED WITH
JSM COMMENTARY ON HEBREWS
DEAR EVANGELIST: I just received your Hebrews Commentary. Wow! I was a former Catholic and in the seminary
(cemetery) for two years. And, I can say as a born-again,
Spirit-filled Christian, that the Holy Spirit has brought me a
long way. I have been recently watching your TV program
and I miss this type of service in a local church here in Tucson,
Arizona. I am absorbed in your book daily, reading it with
frequency every day. I am 71 years young and still kicking
for the Lord, my Saviour. Thanks so much for all your hard
work for us Christians.

VIEWER RECEIVES HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM
WHILE WATCHING CLASSIC CRUSADE
DEAR EVANGELIST: While watching a Classic Crusade last
week of Brother Swaggart, he gave the invitation to be baptized in 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
THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING THE GOSPEL MESSAGE
DEAR EVANGELIST: In 1980, God, through Jimmy Swaggart (via the television), spoke and presented me with the
Gospel. I was a teenager at the time, and I accepted Jesus
as my Saviour and Lord. Through all of these past 34 years,
I have thanked God, yet never thanked Jimmy for being the
one who presented the Gospel to me. I would like to take
just a moment and do just that. Thank you Jimmy, thank you
very much for standing in the rain, so to speak, holding up
the sign warning that the bridge is out; that death is imminent
and certain should you not take the alternate
route paved and paid for by Jesus. Thank you
for being obedient and presenting the Gospel
message. It is my sincere hope that when that day
comes you will hear, “Well done, good and faithful
servant.” Thank you again. I thank God for you, and
will continue to pray for you.
– Arizona
THOSE SWAGGART FELLAS
FIRE ME UP FOR THE LORD
DEAR EVANGELIST: I just wanted to say thank you for all that
y’all do on SBN. I can’t seem to find a church here at home,
but I never felt better after watching your music. I was raised
Southern Baptist, but I just had to tell y’all — those Swaggart
fellas fire me up for the Lord like I’ve never felt! I just wanted
to tell them all thank you very much! The music is absolutely
amazing! I’ve never heard “Come Thou Fount,” “I Cried Holy,”
and “How Great Thou Art” more powerfully than the way your
music team does it! Praise God and thank you again! I just
have to drive there one Sunday and be part of a service!
– Arkansas
THE LORD IS BEHIND YOUR
MINISTRY AROUND THE WORLD
DEAR EVANGELIST: I have been watching and listening to
you through SonLife for about five months now, and, growing up Presbyterian, I never heard the full Gospel of Jesus
Christ. I am able to receive so much fuel in my soul through
you all and it’s now a necessity to be in contact with your
programming. I believe with all my heart the Lord is behind
you all on your ministry around the world. I am very thankful
for all of you, all you do, your strong voice, and the truth of
life that is shared.

SONLIFE RADIO MINISTERS TO
CANADIAN MAN IN HOSPITAL
DEAR EVANGELIST: My uncle was lying lifeless in the
hospital. Doctors had little hope for him to live. His kidneys were not functioning well due to excessive drinking. It
was quite difficult to see him in this condition and knowing
what the doctors said echoed repeatedly in my head. Yet I
had faith and believed God to turn things around. As I sat
by his bedside, I had SonLife Radio playing on my iPhone,
and the music that was played filled the hospital room.
Suddenly, Donnie prayed and commanded the sickness to
leave whoever was listening in. I stretched my hand, prayed,
and agreed with Donnie for my uncle’s believing. Within a
month, the doctors were surprised that he was improving
and decided to discharge him even though he was supposed to stay longer. He still has quite a ways to go; he is
getting stronger. Because of this radio station, I support
your ministry 100 percent. I truly believe this is really of God
because we have SBN playing every day in our home here in
Canada. We are so remote, isolated from the outside world,
yet through SBN, we feel we are closer to you guys. God is
good. We love you all.
– Canada
EXPOSITOR’S STUDY BIBLE IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND
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
have also become 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!

IT’S NOT AN EVENT; IT’S A MOVEMENT by gabriel swaggart
Mark 16:15-16 – “And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the Gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized shall be saved;
but he who believes not shall be damned.”
I feel that what
we are going to
be giving you
is what the Lord
has laid upon
my heart.
THIS ARTICLE WILL BE a little different
from what you are used to seeing each and
every single month, but I feel that what
we are going to be giving you is what the
Lord has laid upon my heart. As we begin
a new year, there are many people who
will embark upon what are referred to as
New Year’s resolutions. Now, we know
that many never finish what they start as it
regards their resolutions; however, I want to
encourage you this year to set aside some
time each and every single day to spend
with the Lord. Understand that doing this
will not gain you anything with God, but it
will bring about blessings by drawing you
closer to the Lord.
SEEKING THE LORD
FOR HIS DIRECTION
The reason that I bring this up is that this is
something that I do each morning before
I start my day. After I drop my girls off at
school, I park somewhere on the ministry
property to seek the Lord and to get into
His Word. It is during these times that the
Lord ministers to my heart and gives me
direction, help, leading, and understand-
30
ing. A few months ago (I believe it was the
month of June), while seeking the Lord one
morning, I asked the Lord for His direction
regarding what He wants me to do for my
meetings for the upcoming year. I asked
Him what he wants me to do and where
He wants me to go. The Lord began dealing with my heart about doing something
that was completely out of my element, in
a sense. He moved upon my heart to do
something that, in all honesty, I have never
really done before. He instructed me to
begin holding rallies in cities across the
country, with us renting the facilities and
taking with us our singers and musicians,
whom you see and hear every day on the
SonLife Broadcasting Network. In other
words, we understand that due to many and
varied reasons, most of you are not able to
come to Baton Rouge, so we are bringing
Baton Rouge to you!
WE ARE BRINGING
BATON ROUGE TO YOU
We are coming to you! I cannot tell you
how overwhelmed that I was when the Lord
began to deal with me about this. Imme-

IT’S NOT AN EVENT; IT’S A MOVEMENT
diately, I began to question if this was really the
Lord, or was it out of my own mind. As the days
turned into weeks, that feeling never left. I never
mentioned this to anyone, for I wanted to make
absolutely certain that what I was hearing was
coming from the Lord. Then, the Lord revealed
it to me in a way that I knew what I was hearing
and feeling was right. I was at the lunch table
with my grandparents. During the course of the
conversation, my grandfather mentioned to me
what I should do with my upcoming meetings,
and the words that came out of his mouth were
exactly what the Lord had been dealing with me
about. Talk about shocked! That’s exactly what
I was, and I could not believe what I was hearing.
It was during that lunch that my mind was settled.
I came home and began to explain to Jill what the
Lord was speaking to my heart, and we both knew
that this was the right thing to do. However, once
again, this was something that neither one of us
had done outside of Baton Rouge. We began to
discuss what needs to be done, who we need to
take, and where we need to go. Once again, we
were completely overwhelmed, but we knew we
had heard from Heaven. Then the Lord began to
deal with us about where He wanted us to go for
our very first meeting.
BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA
In August of last year, I had the privilege to be in
Oxford, Alabama, with a dear friend, John Lanier.
He had asked me to minister at his 25th anniversary of being in ministry. We had such a great
time and a tremendous service. It was then that
the Lord began to deal with my heart about the
city of Birmingham, which is very close to Oxford,
Alabama. Jill and I, along with several others
with whom I spoke, began to look into the city of
Birmingham and to see what locations would be
appropriate for a meeting like this. Now, I have to
be completely honest with you, dear reader, I was
only looking for something that was small. We met
with several people, including one who really did
not know the Lord, but he knew venues and locations. While discussing this, he turned to me and
told me that I was thinking too small. His words
Gabriel Swaggart Rally in Birmingham, AL
MARCH 20, 2015 | 7 PM
Birmingham – Jefferson Convention Complex
2100 Richard Arrington Jr Blvd N | Birmingham AL 35203
to me were that what we are going to do is going
to be much more than what I could even think.
He and some of our people here at the ministry,
Dave Cooper and Hazel Semper, began to look
at venues in Birmingham, Alabama. They found
a location that would be perfect — the concert
hall at the Birmingham Convention Center. After
a few days of discussion, we were able to work
out a date — March 20, 2015. For Jill and me,
this begins a new chapter in our ministry, and we
cannot express to you how excited, nervous, and
anxious that we are for this meeting! I’m ready for
it to get here now, and I want to encourage you
that if you are near Birmingham, Alabama, come
out and join us for a great one-night rally. You
will hear the Family Worship Center singers and
musicians and the preaching of the Gospel that
will be a blessing to your life.
For Jill and me,
this begins a
new chapter in
our ministry,
and we cannot
express to you
how excited,
nervous, and
anxious that
we are for
this meeting!
IT’S NOT AN EVENT; IT’S A MOVEMENT
Now, we will not be doing a whole lot of traveling this year, as we are using this year as a time
to get some of these meetings under our belts.
However, this is not the only meeting that we will
be having this year, so stay tuned to see where we
will be coming throughout the year. I’m excited
about this, and I believe that you will be as well.
Come out March 20, 2015, and expect a blessing.
In closing, what we are doing is not just an event;
it’s a movement!

THE LORD KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER THE GODLY by loren larson
II Peter 2:9 - “The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.”
As a believer,
there should
never come
a time when
we doubt the
willingness of
God to work out
the affairs of this
life for us.
THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF DESPAIR
As a believer, there should never come a time when
we doubt the willingness of God to work out the
affairs of this life for us. Having said the obvious,
let me also say that there is never a time when the
believer will be completely free from facing any
manner of difficulties or untoward circumstances.
This life is a challenge to our faith on every front.
The believer is constantly tasked with choosing to
either believe God to resolve the issues at hand or
to attempt to carry the burden of the circumstance
in our own strength. Just a few days ago, I found
myself facing this choice once again. I wish I could
say that discouragement had not reared its ugly
head and roared unbelief into my heart, but that
would be far from the truth. At that moment, the
situations I was facing seemed to be too hopeless, and I was feeling quite low regarding the
possibilities of successfully traversing through the
issues at hand. As is my custom, I sought the Lord
in regard to the situation and turned to His Word
for direction. In my daily reading, the text above
was included. As my eyes fell upon the words of II
Peter 2:9, the Spirit of God moved upon my heart
and encouraged me to believe God to resolve the
problems at hand. Despair left and hope arose as
I looked a little more closely at the Word of God.
THE BREATH OF HOPE
The first thing that struck me as truth was the
words, “The Lord knows.” I suddenly realized that
the Lord knew exactly where I was and what I was
32
going through. Faith in the Lord starts here. We
should realize that every circumstance in our lives
is watched over by the Lord. He is always aware
of the circumstances surrounding His children and
their needs. He has promised to never leave us
nor forsake us. He that watches over Israel neither
slumbers nor sleeps. He will perfect those things
that concern us. He knows! He knows! He knows!
We are not alone in our circumstances.
Secondly, I saw that the “Lord knows how to
deliver.” While I may not see any way out of or
through the difficulty at hand, the Lord not only sees
my circumstance, He also sees the way through the
issue. He doesn’t just see “a” way through the wilderness, He sees “the best way” through the darkness. He always does what is best for His children.
He knows the proper path and will guide me through
the darkest night by the light of His Word and the
precious presence of His Spirit. He knows the way
out of my mess! He knows what I’m going through,
and He knows how to deliver me from the situation.
My responsibility is that of faith. I am to trust Him to
lead, to guide, to supply, and to deliver whatever I
may need in every situation. The Lord knows how!
He knows how to deliver! He knows how to deliver
me! He will deliver me from this situation!
WHO QUALIFIES AS GODLY?
But wait! Who will the Lord deliver? Does my life
have to be one of “perfect performance” to earn
His favor and care? Will I have had to do everything just perfectly to gain access to His delivering
THE LORD KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER THE GODLY
power? Do I qualify for the Lord’s help? If performance were
the criterion, then the Lord could help no one. The context
(II Peter 2:4-8) of this text answers the questions.
In verse 5, the person of Noah is addressed. Most Bible students would agree that Noah was a godly man. God entrusted
him with the building of the ark at a time when the hearts of
men were only evil continuously. He was a man of sacrifice
and a preacher of righteousness. He carried out the will of
God at a very important time in man’s history.
The word godly indicates a man that God sees as righteous.
What kind of person does God see as righteous? Who does
God award righteousness to? The biblical answer comes
through the person of Abraham. The Bible says that Abraham
believed God and it was accounted to Him for righteousness. So, all those who believe in God’s redemption plan are
declared righteous and worthy of God’s help. In the content
of our text, this is illustrated even further by the mention of Lot.
We can all see why God might declare Abraham and Noah
godly or righteous, but how could the Holy Spirit direct Peter
to choose this reference regarding Lot? We’re speaking of
the man who pitched his tent toward Sodom and Gomorrah,
the man who committed incest, and the man who fathered
two nations of people who opposed the children of Israel?
What good can we find in Lot? The answer: only by faith.
Lot knew the truth and believed it. While I do not advise
traveling the path that Lot traveled (the consequences of sin
are always devastating and destructive), God saw his faith and
delivered him out of the horror that would fall upon Sodom
and Gomorrah.
Therefore, if God delivers those who believe in Christ and Him
crucified (the godly), I qualify! So, even if my performance has
been less than perfect and pristine (again, not a lifestyle to be
advised), I can still count on God to have mercy and deliver me
from my current nightmare. The Lord knows how to deliver
the godly out of temptations. He only asks that we have faith
in the redemption plan that was carried out by Christ at Calvary, and that we learn to trust Him to see us through every
circumstance. He has delivered me, He is delivering me, and
He will deliver me!
Why WEBC&S?
“When
“
the Lord sent me to WEBC&S, I never
imagined how profoundly enlightening it
would be. To be able to learn the true depth
of the Word of God from the anointed professors here is amazing. Whether it’s the
class on Acts, Colossians, Romans, Old Testament Survey, or the Life of Christ, they are
all my favorites because it is all the Message
of the Cross. Every class reveals the Word
of God in a way, I pray, that every man,
woman, and child on earth could experience. I look forward to the next semester
and the next. Glory!”

RACISM, DIVERSITY, OR IDENTITY? by john rosenstern
Mark 3:24 - “And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.”
To forget slavery
would be as
foolish as trying
to forget the
Holocaust. It
must serve as a
reminder of the
cruelty of man
to force man to
serve man.
GOD DID NOT FORESTALL the political birth of
the United States of America due to slavery. The
scourge of slavery was predominantly opposed by
American Christian missionaries acting as poseurs
for abolition against slavery. Warnings pertaining
to slavery resounded from our missionaries in the
Middle East. In the case of Harriet Livermore,
spoken from Mount Zion, she prophesied, “Great
national calamities are awaiting the United States
as punishment for its permissiveness toward slavery.” Nearly 20 years later, the dawn of the Civil
War bore witness to the outcome of God’s warning. Abraham Lincoln accredited three books that
shaped his life and thinking: the Bible, Pilgrim’s
Progress by John Bunyan, and Sufferings in Africa
by James Riley. Riley had been captured by Arabs
after being shipwrecked off the coast of the Spanish
Sahara and was driven across the desert. He was
flogged, beaten, and reduced to just 90 pounds
until he was ransomed by the British Consul at the
port city of Mogadore. His book became a national
sensation, selling 1 million copies over the next
40 years. He urged Americans to cut down “the
cursed tree of slavery and to shiver in pieces the rod
of oppression.” Many other well-knowns, such as
the father of our educational system, Horace Mann,
were outspoken opponents to slavery.
TO FORGET IS FOOLISHNESS
To forget slavery would be as foolish as trying to
forget the Holocaust. It must serve as a reminder
of the cruelty of man to force man to serve man.
African Americans of the Civil War era did not
liken slavery to the plight of American slaves in
Algiers, but to ancient Jews in Egypt. One such
preeminent leader, Frederick Douglas, recalled,
“We meant to reach the North, and the North
was Canaan.”
Many in my family, on my father’s side, were exterminated in the Holocaust. I often remind myself of
the horror they must have felt when the sound of
the boots from German Gestapo soldiers marched
down the streets of Germany in rhythmic patterns,
and then, the blunt knocking on doors. Their
hearts pounded within their chests with anxiety in
anticipation of being taken away from home and
family. Stricken people were torn from each other
and sentenced to death for simply being Jewish.
We must never forget slavery and the plight of
those before us who suffered its torment. It is an
ever constant reminder of how each of us should
look upon one another with love and respect.
A NEW IDENTITY
The result of the Gospel message is so strong that
it changes the heart and life — as a result, being
born again — for all who embrace Jesus Christ and
Him crucified. It gives the believer a new identity.
This is essential for us to understand. The fact that
old things are passed away and all things become
new (II Cor. 5:17) removes the believer’s past and
changes his identity. Christian believers “have put
on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge
after the image of Him who created him: where
there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor
uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor
free: but Christ is all, and in all” (Col. 3:10-11).
The Christian believer now can live identified to a
new race. Paul would say to the church of Galatia,
“For you are all children of God by faith in Christ
RACISM, DIVERSITY, OR IDENTITY?
Jesus … There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond
nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in
Christ Jesus” (Gal. 3:26, 28).
The sullen stains of racism still brood in the hearts of many
today. The idea of one race being better than another has hurt
America, notwithstanding Jews and others around the world.
This kind of thinking ultimately created an Adolph Hitler. The
belief is that a master race exists and by the extermination
of an inferior race, this will enable the new superior race to
manifest(?), or, as with slavery, the inferior race is to serve the
superior race. For example, Islam makes this very clear by
claiming all who are not believers of Allah and his prophet are
classified as dihimmi, a second class or sub-class of people.
They must pay jitzia, a poll tax, and are subject to minimal
rights, unlike other Muslims.
A principle has emerged that our commitment to diversity has
redefined the opposition to discrimination as the appreciation, rather than the elimination, of difference when it comes
to equality and recognition. We have also come to think of
disagreement as a form of prejudice. If we fail as believers to
approach the heartbeat of our social issues with a truly biblical
approach, then we will fall prey to believing that skin color is a
culture, sexual preference is a culture, religion is a culture, etc.
Therefore, if we do not accept someone’s culture, we are being
intolerant and even racist or bigoted. May we see each other
as our Lord and Saviour sees us—saved or unsaved. Those
of us who are saved must work together as one to bring the
message that will bring true unity to man — at the meeting
place of God and man — in Christ Jesus.
THE NEW CULTURAL WARS
Our society’s new modus vivendi (way of life) toward universal
tolerance is to champion diversity. Earlier I mentioned that
our commitment to diversity has redefined the opposition to
discrimination as the appreciation, rather than the elimination,
of difference when it comes to equality and recognition.
God visited His people with a marvelous outpouring of His
Holy Spirit at the turn of the 20th century. In 1905, a young
black Louisiana man, who attended a Bible school founded
by Charles Parham in Houston, Texas, was used by God to
usher in modern Pentecostalism. William J. Seymour, at this
Azusa Street Mission in Los Angeles, California, rejected
racial barriers in favor of unity in Christ. “The color line as
was washed away by the blood,” said writer Frank Bartleman,
testifying of his experience at Azusa Street. Sadly, within only
a decade, the great Pentecostal Movement slowly began to
splinter, and a racial divide was formed. Instead of the pulpit
addressing the racial issue biblically by preaching messages
of true Christian unity through faith, the division identified
with culture. Instead of interracial comity (civility, courtesy),
segregation took its ugly shape, and doubly worse, doctrinal
separation gave validity to division and solidified the racial
divide as well. Because the pulpit did not spiritually address
racism, it became a social issue.
THE BIBLE
The Bible gives us a clear understanding of the function of the
five-fold ministry gifts and the result that follows in Ephesians
4:11-13: “And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets;
and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the
faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect
man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
TRUE BIBLE UNITY
True biblical unity has to do with our proper object of faith.
God made the Cross His object of acceptance. He looks at our
faith by the finished work of the Cross, His perfect expression
of grace, and accepts us in the beloved (Eph. 1:6). It is there at
the Cross that we’re all reconciled unto God, and the enmity is
abolished — man toward God and man toward man. Christ is
all and in all who are His! Glory to God! The bloodline settles
it all! He is our peace.
Now that we are in Christ, we are a new creature with old
things passed away (II Cor. 5:17). We are then given a ministry
of reconciliation. In II Corinthians 5:18, the Bible says, “And all
things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus
Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation.”
RACISM
If the true church of Christ doesn’t operate and function as a
New Testament church with proper unity, can we expect the
world to accomplish eliminating racism? Here’s our problem:
We have allowed other voices to rise up and address the
outward issues; issues that are really the symptoms of the
inner problem. Fortunately, Jesus Christ heals the heart and,
“He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears in
oppression” (Job 36:15).
Racism has greatly oppressed our country for years. It is still
a festering sore. We must listen to what the Spirit is saying to
the church in this hour. I believe a time of healing has begun.
I believe it can also be a time of greater divide if we do not
approach racism biblically and with love and patience. Jesus
Christ has “ … redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every
kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” (Rev. 5:9). The
word nation in the Greek is ethnos and means “race.” Therefore, God is color-blind to race when it comes to salvation and
equality. Should we be any different?

THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING
BUT THE TRUTH SO HELP ME GOD by mike muzzerall
WHAT IS TRUTH? In the simplest form, truth is whatever God says. In reality, truth is Jesus Christ, the Son
of God. Jesus said of Himself, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by
Me” (Jn. 14:6). The source of truth is, therefore, God Himself, and He has revealed it in His Word.
TRUTH
To many people, truth is an expendable commodity. They
see it as optional, negotiable, and pliable. I wish I could tell
you that I’m talking about those outside of the four walls of
the church but, sad to say, I’m talking about many who call
themselves Christians. To make it more grievous, there are
many behind the pulpits in America today who have a fleeting relationship with truth. God, give us men and women
who will say, “I will preach the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth so help me God.”
TRUTH THROUGH CONSENSUS
Many today advocate another source of truth. They feel that
man has become so intellectual and so advanced that he is
now somehow capable of establishing truth. Many times,
truth is arrived at through a process called “consensus.” This
new and improved truth is usually acceptable to the flesh
and an abomination unto God.
THE REMOVAL, RETRACTION,
AND REDIRECTION OF TRUTH
In many religious organizations, it has become “truth through
committees.” In many cases, God’s truth has been replaced
by half truths and total fabrications in order to advance man’s
agenda. By majority vote, they have removed foundational
teachings such as: Original Sin, the virgin birth, the baptism
with the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the rapture
of the church, the millennial reign of Christ, miracles, and
much more. They have “changed the truth of God into a
lie” (Rom. 1:25). Isaiah said it well when he said, “Woe unto
them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness
for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and
sweet for bitter! Woe unto them who are wise in their own
eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” (Isa. 5:20-21).
THE CROSS SETS US APART
The Cross sets us apart from all other religions. Without
the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, there
is no forgiveness of sin, no atonement, no redemption, no
justification, no sanctification, and no ultimate glorification.
Yet, this is one of the greatest areas in which we see the
truth of God’s Word under attack. In most churches, all
references to the blood of the Lamb of God, the Cross, and
Calvary have been ceremonially removed from the songs,
the Sunday schools, and the sermons. Instead, they replace
it with a man-made, humanistic counterfeit to God’s truth.
GOD’S TRUTH CHANGES NOT
God’s truth cannot change from generation to generation,
from person to person, or as a result of changing circumstances. God’s truth is not pliable to be bent to suit our
own selfish needs. The truth is rarely unanimous. It is rarely
popular. Sometimes the truth does hurt or is inconvenient.
Sometimes truth forces us to change our lifestyles in order
to align ourselves with God’s truth.
DO YOU LOVE THE TRUTH?
Christians should love the truth. “Lead me in Your truth,
and teach me: for You are the God of my salvation; on
You do I wait all the day” (Psalms 25:5). God’s truth is not
optional, negotiable, or pliable. Our cry should be “Give
me the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so
help me God.” He will.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS
First of all, I want to wish each and every one of you a
happy New Year, actually, the greatest year that you’ve
ever had. If you know the Lord Jesus Christ, and I’m certainly believing that you do, then whatever else there is
will ultimately fall into place, in one way or the other.
Knowing the Lord is the primary thing.
The other day, somebody asked us if we are trying to start
a new movement, etc., because of the title, “The Message Of
The Cross.” No, we aren’t!
NOW AIRING IN MORE THAN
73 MILLION
HOMES IN AMERICA
TELEVISION
There are 115 million homes in America that have a television set or sets. We are presently airing in more than
73 million of these homes. Actually, by the time you read
this, the number could be up to 75 or 76 million. We will
not rest until the SonLife Broadcasting Network goes into
every home in America, and to be frank with you, that
goes for the entirety of the world. How we thank the Lord
that in country after country, even though in many of
these places we do not go in by cable, still, we do by satellite and the Internet. In fact, if they so desire, approximately 2 billion people can tune into the programming of
the SonLife Broadcasting Network.
38
Actually, that particular title comes straight from the
Bible. Paul said: “For the preaching of the Cross is to them
who perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power
of God” (I Cor. 1:18).
The word preaching in the Greek is logos and should have
been translated “the message of the Cross.” The word logos
actually means “message” or “word.” As to exactly why
the King James translators used the word preaching, I
have no idea.
THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DREAM
Some 3,700 years ago in the land of Egypt, the Lord gave
two dreams to Pharaoh. Of course, this heathen monarch
did not know what they meant, and his soothsayers and
magicians did not know either. So, Joseph was called in.
The first dream would begin to come to pass very shortly,
with Joseph being placed in charge. It pertained to seven
years of harvest such as Egypt had never known before,
followed by seven years of famine. To make it brief, it took
that, the famine, to bring Jacob to Joseph. The second dream, I believe, has not yet been fulfilled. I believe it pertains to that which is right ahead
of us. I believe the seven years of plenty — represented
by the seven buds on the stalk that were healthy and
vibrant — represent the coming harvest of souls such as
the world has never known before. It was followed by
seven buds that were wasted and famished. That pertains
to the coming seven-year great tribulation. As stated,
none of this has been fulfilled yet. I believe we are on the
very edge of the greatest harvest of souls the world has
ever known. I believe the Lord has told me that this min-
istry (Jimmy Swaggart Ministries) is going to play a
great part in this harvest.
OUR PARTICIPATION
This leads to the following statement: to think that we
have the privilege of having a part in the fulfillment of
a dream given 3,700 years ago is astounding indeed!
To have that privilege is a privilege unexcelled. I
would hope that you could see how blessed and fortunate that all of us are to have this opportunity. Think
about it! It was a dream given to a heathen monarch
3,700 years ago but interpreted by one of the godliest
men who ever lived, Joseph, and now it is about to
come to pass. Let me give you another clue.
THE TWO DREAMS GIVEN TO JOSEPH
Before Joseph was sold by his brothers into Egypt, the
Lord gave him two dreams.
In the first dream, he saw several sheaves of grain bowed
to his sheaf, which was fulfilled a short time later when
his brothers went into Egypt and bowed before him, not
recognizing who he was. They were trying to buy grain,
which they did.
““
When the believing
sinner expresses
simple faith in the
finished work of
Christ, the active
grace of God and the
operation of the Holy
Spirit begins.
”
— Loren Larson
Class: Romans, Part 1
The second dream pertained to the sun and moon and 11
stars, which bowed before Joseph. In this dream, Joseph
was a type of Christ. The sun, the moon, and the 11 stars
represented the 13 tribes of Israel, which will bow at the
feet of Jesus when He comes back at the second coming.
It will take that to bring Jacob to Jesus. Of course, that
dream has not yet been fulfilled. Both of Joseph’s dreams
had to do with the immediate future and the distant
future. Likewise did Pharaoh’s dreams.
I’m trying to get you to understand how important that
all of this is. In fact, it is the move of God that is beginning to take place in the world today.
No, I’m not overstating the case. If anything, I am understating it.
Thank you so much for praying for us, for supporting
us with your finances, and for helping us to fulfill that
which was prophesied, in a sense, some 3,700 years ago.
