We knew that we would get a lot of response to our last bulletin, but we really were not prepared to get as much as we did. Expecting it to be as much as 50% negative, we were surprised that it was over 99% positive. We also have had requests for almost 50,000 additional copies, and they are still coming in.

This strategy is about to be employed by the church to accomplish some of the most spectacular spiritual victories realized in centuries.

The Battle for Hearts

Battles usually unfold along lines of confrontation. From these lines each side will try to maintain defensible positions while...

Significant events which take place in the natural often reflect what is happening in the spiritual realm. The Persian Gulf War is such an event.
