Holy Ghost and Fire



This pastor's son from California received the Holy Ghost and fire. No one saw the fire but it was evident upon him and picked up by the camera of one of his teachers.
This happened in Stockton, Ca at Stockton Christian School." Several little boys in this class pray for each other", stated his mother. That is his mother there in the photo praying. You cannot miss the look of joy on his little face.
The bible says in the book of Acts that they received tongues as of fire and it sat upon each of them. The move of Jesus in our century had believers in Topeka, Kansas having this same experience where they actually saw flames over the believers as they began to receive the Spirit and speak in other tongues. The same experience is for believers today. Have you spoken in tongues since you believed? Have you no power or sin in your life and though you speak in tongues never seem to be able to overcome sin? Maybe you did not receive the same Book of Acts experience the early church received? Why would a person not have victory over sin after this experience?
There can be several reasons:
1. You repented on the spot and went back to live in your sinful existence as a choice.
The bible describes this as a dog returning to its own vomit. All the junk you were delivered from were re consumed.
2. You did not receive the genuine experience.
3. You are missing true bible teaching and are doing things that are sinful and you are not recognizing where the doors are open in your life for the enemy to come in.
4. You are weak.

If any of these problems seem to be continually occurring in your Christian walk and you would like help overcoming and are willing to repent because true repentance must always precede the genuine experience and you would like to have the genuine experience then email us and we will work with you or find a minister or saint in your area who will be glad to help you get real biblical salvation.

Living in the Realm of Faith!


Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Substance-that which has an actual existence.

Evidence - a proof that by which a thing is proved or tested.

I am so excited about all that Jesus has promised my family this year.I have been telling Bruce that I want a home of our own.I have been asking Jesus for one. I have a vision of what I want that home to be. I want it to have a room to house our library. I want it to be white with green shutters. I want it to be multi-level and have a big garage. I want enough property so my sons and daughter can run outside and chase a big dog around. I want a bedroom that everyone can call their own and feel a sense of security in.We are called to travel alot but I feel like children need a home and stability. The natural realm is not our home but we seek a city whose builder and maker is God. I know though that in this world Jesus wants us to prosper and be in health. Part of that prosperity and abundant life I believe includes not being a pauper when Jesus has declared that He owns the cattle on a thousand hills and He owns the hill as well. Anyway Prophet Phillips a month or so ago told Brother Klein and I that he saw us buying a house and described exactly what I have been praying for. Just this weekend we visited Peace Tabernacle and Brother Charles Pierce said to us that he saw us getting a home, a place to live within the upcoming year. That is it.I have now moved into the next dimension in faith.I am not going to be worried about putting up any more pictures or beautifying my surroundings. I am now beginning to
plan things for my new house....the one with the library and the land and the children chasing a dog (a big dog Bruce). I am not going to live within the confines of my current situation. I am going to live in faith.
Something else I would like to share is that my face had been in alot of pain due to some nerve damage I had two months ago. I got prayer and today the pain is no where near where it has been and the feeling is returning to that area of my face. Thank you Jesus. I want to live knowing that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. I confess that every day this thing is going to get better and better and no longer exist.That is the substance.I am not planning for misery but I am planning for victory.
In Jesus,
Dana Klein

If I Were President

Dear Friends,

The following is a writing assignment written by our son.


If I Were President
By Luke Klein (Age Ten)

If I were president, I would outlaw smoking. I would put an end to pro choice. I would reinstate prohibition. There wouldn't be any violent video games, television shows, or music. I would place a ban on handguns. Only Biblical marriages would be allowed. There would be no wars for the army to fight because The Bible says, "Thou shalt not kill".

Luke has been water baptized and Holy Ghost baptized the right way.

Islam verses the West - No 'Moderates' in Islam!

Hello Students,

The following is an article from 'Israel Today':

Headline News
Monday, December 15, 2008 Ryan Jones
There is no 'moderate' Islam, Dutch lawmaker tells Israelis
In his keynote address at a Jerusalem conference dealing with radical Islam on Sunday, Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders warned Israel and its Western allies that building policy based on the myth of "moderate" Islam is a recipe for ultimate defeat.
Speaking at the Begin Center along with other noted experts like Daniel Pipes, Wilders began by reminiscing about time spent in Jerusalem as a teenager, followed by more visits to the Jewish state than he can remember during the course of his political career.
Getting to the meat of his speech, Wilders said that Jerusalem is uniquely positioned on the front lines of a global conflict, though the enemy facing Israel is no longer unique, and is now overrunning places like his native Holland.
Israel is so targeted for hatred and violence because it is "situated on the fault line of jihad," and not because of the so-called "occupation," said Wilders.
"If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other places to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Therefore, the war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is jihad."
In this way, Wilders said Israel forms a sort of bulwark against an Islamic onslaught on the rest of the Judeo-Christian world, and for that everyone in the West should be eternally grateful to Israel.
"Thanks to Israeli parents who see their children go off to join the army and lie awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and have pleasant dreams, unaware of the dangers looming."
Wilders went on to criticize Europe and America for failing to realize the threat posed by Islam in general, and not just the smaller number of violent jihadists that most Western leaders insist comprise the whole of the problem.
"The Islamic ideology does not seek cooperation or assimilation but aims for submission and dominance over non-Muslims. There is no moderate Islam, there will never be a moderate Islam. There might be moderate people who call themselves Muslim, but there is no moderate Islam."
Wilders explained that even those Muslims who do not pick up the sword are still interested in world domination, which they are quietly working to accomplish via demographic changes and cynical use of Western legal and political systems.
Most Western leaders insist that immigrating Muslims will modernize and bring their religion and culture into the 21st century. But Wilders insisted this is not the goal of any Muslims - radical or "moderate." They do not intend to conform, but rather to dominate, either by violent conquest or subtle subjugation.
The event concluded with the first public screening in Israel of Wilders' short film on the Islamic threat titled Fitna.
Fitna has earned Wilders an avalanche of death threats, though he pointed out that Muslims themselves made the film, which consists solely of passages from the Koran, speeches by Muslim clerics and footage of Muslim terrorist attacks.

Peace Tabernacle Meridian Mississippi


Right off the interstate stands a sanctuary and within its walls ministers the Charles Pierce Family. They left the full time evangelistic ministry to evangelize the city of Meridian and train those who desire to work in personal ministry. Very evident is the Prophetic annointing upon this Pastor. He has been in full time ministry for over fifty years. I will not be surprised if this building is not enlarged within the next year and there is not room to seat any more. The gifts of the Spirit are very evident in the ministry of Charles Pierce. For those seeking the face of God and a word from Him this is the church for this area. http://www.kingdompeace.com/

Jehovah's Witnesses Cause 1,000's to Sin!

Hello Students,

Have you noticed what the Jehovah's Witnesses are doing?

By using Jehovah's name as one of their names they are causing thousands to '... take the name of Jehovah your God in vain ..."!

Biblically 'Jehovah' is God's name in the Old Covenant (Testament), and 'Jesus' is God's revealed name in the New Covenant (Testament).

"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." Exodus 20:7 KJV

"You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain; for Jehovah will not leave unpunished the one who takes His name in vain." Exodus 20:7 Jay Green's Literal Translation

The Family Name

Recently, I spoke with a woman who said that she decided to keep her last name when she and her husband married. I did not relate to that really well because when I married Bruce I could not wait to sign my new name, Dana Klein. It is a joy to share the same last name as Bruce.It gives me a feeling of belonging to him. Not as a possession but as a family unit. I have for my middle name the name of my father who died a few years ago and meant so much to me but as for my last name its Klein. When I married Bruce I did not cling to my maiden name. I took on his name.
We who are the bride of Jesus Christ as well cannot cling to our old nature and our old ways and our old identifications. We have to identify with him in his death, burial and resurrection.We take His name in water baptism. We die to self to live as Jesus Christ.The bible clearly teaches we are heir of Jesus Christ. An heir is not illegitimate
but bears the family name.The name Jesus means Jehovah Saves. The bible says in Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
If you have not taken on the name of Jesus in water baptism yet what is holding you back from taking on His Name?
Many women today live in relationships with those who they are not committed to or are not committed to them. Jesus paid the commitment for our salvation on Calvary. We therefore can trust that He is always faithful. I am so glad my husband is a faithful man. One of the reasons I married him is that he has a track record of being faithful so I know I can trust him never to hurt me. So I guess I cannot relate well to the woman who wants to be married and not take on the family name. Jesus bless you today.

Recommeded Greek and Hebrew Dictionaries



Dear Students,



Dr. Warren Baker was my preaching partner when we were students at Clearwater Christian College, Clearwater, Florida.

He was one of the editors/writers for the lexicon pictured.

He was one of two writers for the Old Testament Hebrew lexicon.

I recommend these lexicons to everyone. They are available in hardback and as software for E-sword. AMG Publishers

These lexicon would be classified as fundamental in theology.

Dr. Baker is Bible Presbyterian. He graduated from Faith Seminary; where he after graduation taught. He studied under Dr. Carl McIntire, http://www.carlmcintire.org/ .

Clearwater Christian College was started by Bible Presbyterians. Newsweek magazine had rated this college as the number one Christian college in the USA. Why? Every professor was required to have a doctorate or working on a doctorate. Plus, the student to teacher ratio was 10 to 1. They taught a premillienial reign by Jesus, which is unusual for those in covenant theology. I have a B.S. from this college. Expensive, but very good. Spent a lot of time in professor's homes.
Thank you, Jesus!


Dr. Warren Baker is the Senior Editor of AMG Publishers in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He is co-author of The Complete Word Study Dictionary: Old Testament, and the general editor of The Complete Word Study Old Testament. He also served as managing editor of The Complete Word Study New Testament, The Compete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament, and The Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible.
Dr. Baker holds several degrees: B.A., Clearwater Christian College; M.Div., S.T.M., and D.R.E., Faith Theological Seminary. He served as Assistant Professor of Old Testament at Faith Seminary until he began his career in Christian publishing fourteen years ago.

Bruce is Back from Nigeria!

Hello Friends,

What a great time of ministry in Nigeria! Thank you JESUS!!!!!

Thank you for praying for us!

I was the only speaker for this conference.

Many received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the continued evidence of speaking in tongues! Many received Water Baptism in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ for the washing away of sin! Thank you JESUS!

Was asked to water baptize near a village in a river. On the way to the river, walking through a coco plantation, I asked about hippos and crocodiles. Was told most likely no hippos, but there could be crocodiles. Oh great!
We get to the water when most of the sun is gone. My new pastor friend says we'll let the white man go first into the river. I protest by saying 'sure the white man gets eaten, and you all go home.' They laugh. It is now dark. One of the men goes first looking for a place to water baptize. He finds a place. The current is such that I and the pastor are both putting believers down into the water making sure they are totally under the water. Creatures are nibbling at my toes and feet. We have small flashlights providing a little light.
No crocodiles bothered us! Thank you JESUS!

Most days taught A.M. and P.M.

The Azusa Charismatic Seminary's convocation in Akure, Nigeria
The convocation for the students/seminarians was very professional. We used five tents to cover all the people. Pictures will be forthcoming. Will post them in a day or so, hopefully.

In Jesus,
Bruce

Thoughts on Wealth and Eternity

I have been reading this am about the Apostle Paul’s thoughts on wealth and eternity along with the psalmists. It was very enlightening for me to read in Deut. That God prohibited one who was chosen King to accumulate houses, land, money and wives. He was to write it down and study it and keep it ever before him. King David when he had gotten all he wanted and was very blessed looked over into another man’s housetop and saw a goodly woman bathing and took her into his bedchamber and caused the judgment of God to fall upon his family. The child born to this union was born to die as a result of David’s shameful act that was directly against what God commanded in the Law of Moses. We again see the same action in Solomon when he was given the throne of David. He too accumulated many wives which was prohibited by the word of God and fell into idolatry because of all their practices. Many times these men are counted for their greatness but the lessons of their failure are loud and plain for all who desire to please God and the wise can learn by these mistakes rather than repeat them. The bible speaks in the New Testament of the rich man and
Lazarus. The rich man had all he wanted in this life yet kept passing Lazarus at the gate and not noticing his needs. He found himself in hell looking up at Lazarus tucked away safely in eternity and his riches were no longer any good to him then. In fact there was nothing Lazarus could do to help him in the state he found himself. He then looked to begging mercy for his family but the word again finds him helpless. It would have been better for him to have reached for the poor and needy when he had the opportunity instead of living an unrighteous life of self serving. It was too late when his soul was required of him. That brings me to the next thought. I feel that money was created as a tool for our use. We can use that tool for evil or for good. The bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. The old nursery rhyme that says the King was in his counting room counting all his money still rings true. We can lose many valuable things in life while holding onto the temporal and the facade. Take money for example. It is not worth much on its own except its mineral value if its gold or silver. It its paper form money its only a promissory note that the bearer would be entitled to thus amount of goods in exchange for it. That brings us to the truth that it is not the money that is valued but the investment that was exchanged for it. That investment can be gone in one day resulting in a complete loss of all we have. Then where do we stand? Do we lie in hell with the rich man desiring for water to quench our thirst or do we lie in an eternal secure place in Jesus Christ knowing that what ever may come He will take care of us and provide for our needs? It was not the money that the rich man is accused of for wealth in itself is not a sin but that he did not regard his fellowman in his needful state. The man who builds his own kingdom of barns and bigger barns is not wrong for having wealth but wrong for trusting in wealth when he should have been thinking of his eternal future with much more diligence than he gave to accumulating more things that he could not take into the future with him. The man who regards the future daily and walks circumspectly redeeming the time is the man after God’s own heart. King David did repent of his wrong doing but not until he had lost a valuable asset to it. He lost a dear son. What are we gambling today when we regard wealth and the accumulation of it more than we regard our families? We can often use the excuse that we are doing it for them but in the long run are we? Are we considering their spiritual welfare and future as well in the example we are setting before them. These words are not easy to type as I have been such a hard worker and dedicated allot of years to seeing that my children have all they need in this life but I have also dedicated a lot of years seeing that they know the truth of salvation at the cost of my own personal loss on many occasions. So do you go out today and quit your job and give all you have to the poor? You might if God asks you to do just that. The rich young ruler did such. You might also just look at whether you are balancing or going over board in the pursuit of material possessions in such a manner that you are selling your soul in exchange for it.
Matthew 16:26 for what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? I wonder when I look around me in the beautiful city of St.Francisville and consider that the name it bears is of a Saint who gave up possessions to live a life of poverty and charity relying on faith that Jesus would provide for him. Are we living up to the name? We are blessed to live in one of the most beautiful areas in the South but are the ideals we live with worthy ideals? Just some thoughts this early am.
In Jesus,
Dana Klein
