Today is the Day of Salvation!
In doing all our Bible School correspondence today I was thinking of how many
different place around the world have been contacting us wanting to open
schools. The Bible says today is the day of Salvation and it truly is. There are more
and more people who are looking for the true Gospel now than ever before. They
are not satisfied with a mundane Christian experience but are wanting to study
the Word of God in depth. Gone are the days of three songs and a testimony.
We as the people of the Name of Jesus have so much opportunity to fulfill
the Great Commission right now in our generation than ever before. Its an
exciting time to work in the Kingdom of Jesus and I am so glad the
Klein Family is being used of Jesus.Thanks to everyone who has blessed us so
far this year we keep you in prayer and hope the best of everything for you.

Who is Greatest?
There was a problem among the Brethren who walked with Jesus. That problem was a position problem.
Matthew 18:1 finds the disciples asking Jesus who is the greatest in the kingdom of God? His reply was to take a little child and set him in the midst of them and state that in order to be great in the kingdom you have to humble yourself as a little child.
One thing that really stands out to me is that a child is willing to be taught. We must be willing to be taught. A child is also innocent and believes all you tell them as the parent. In order to be great in the kingdom we must keep a pure heart and pure faith in Jesus and believe all His Word tells us. Children though sometimes get jealous of one another and that is understandable but in the kingdom of Jesus we must realize that we are loved the same. We don't have to push one another aside to get to Jesus. He is willing to hold each of us close to Him. He unlike an earthly parent is Omnipresent which means He is in all places at all times. He fills the Universe with His presence and His eyes are always watching us and over us. That is a comforting thought to the believer and a discomforting thought to the sinner. Some think their sin is hid from the eyes of the Lord but He sees all things and knows all things.
Heaven will be a lovely place for those who love Jesus. It would be a place of misery for those who love sin because no sin will enter heaven. Today if you feel less than your neighbor realize that you are not less. The bible says that the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist. That is pretty great as far as greatness goes. John was chosen of God and came in the Spirit of Elijah the Prophet. Imagine that the bible says the least in the Kingdom is greater than John!
Have a Jesus Day and do all you can do for Him.

Offended, NO!
Hello Friends,
Should one be offended?
When I was younger, if a driver of a car cut in front of me or whatever, I would become angry/offended. I would admire other drivers who didn't become angry over the rudeness of other drivers.
These days, I barely give notice to rude drivers. I choose not to be offended.
In marriage, one needs to not become offended with your spouse, if the issue is not one of sin. Becoming offended over adultery is very acceptable. Of course, when one was under the Old Covenant, the adulterer or adulteress was stoned. A permanent solution to being offended!
As a Christian, one should say or do nothing to purposely cause an offense.
"It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak" Romans 14:21
"Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:" 1 Corinthians 10:32

Keep on Doing Good!
"And let us not be weary in well doing : for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Galatians 6:9
Don't let your current circumstance or your atmosphere dictate your future. I love the story of the young lady called, "Homeless to Harvard." Her circumstance did not dictate what her future became. We can all get down and tired, and our bodies can get weary, but we need not give up. Some promises take a while to fulfill. It's Jesus' time not our time. His ways the Bible says are above our ways. When we try to fulfill our own destinies, we end up like Sarah and Abraham, and Ishmael ends up being a thorn in our side for generations. Let us hold on to faith and fight a good fight like Paul the Apostle. We have not yet suffered unto death. We have nothing to complain about. Let us give Him thanks and praise, and offer up worship to heaven's throne. We have every right to praise Him for He has done great things for us. Thank You, Jesus. We will rise up on eagles wings and soar in the high places in You, Lord.

Preaching Directions
Hello Students,
Have you had people hear you preach, then afterward couldn't tell you what you preached?
In homiletic's class at Faith Baptist Bible College, a basic rule is:
First. Tell your audience what you are going to tell them.
Next. Tell them what you are telling them.
Last. Tell them what you have told them.
Do you get the idea. If you follow this repetition, your audience/congregation will have heard your main points at least three times.
In Jesus,
Bruce

Words of Encouragement for the Kleins
Ephesians 4:11 and he gave some Apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some pastors and teachers
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
What a blessing to be in Meridian, Mississippi at Peace Tabernacle Sunday evening for fellowship. Brother Klein drove us four hours one way and four hours back, and I am sure today he is feeling the effects of it, but it was worth it all. We felt such a presence of Jesus, and the service was so awesome with the saturation of Holy Ghost's anointing. We tried to out give Jesus, but He out gave us as this church gave us an offering to help in our ministry, and it was a great blessing.
Thank you, Peace Tabernacle and Brother and Sister Pierce for obeying the Holy Ghost and giving us refuge from the storm.
Here are the words he spoke over us, typed-up this a.m. by myself. It took me two hours and a lot of hard listening, but I did get it done. I wanted to share this with our Bible students all over the earth. Be encouraged. Jesus is listening to your prayers and knows your situation. He is not starting you out with a powerful anointing of His Spirit only to let you down and leave you on your own.
Prophecy and Knowledge
Elder Charles Pierce
Meridian, Mississippi
January 12, 2009
Spoken to Bruce and Dana during the worship meeting by Brother Charles Pierce.
I was praying for my Brother and his family, and when he opened up his Bible I saw pictures.
My son the reason I have taught you the stuff I’ve taught you, even though you have been very discouraged, very down. You feel like, “this is my last, but this is just the
beginning.” You have to make a decision. I don’t want to get in it. You have got to obey the Holy Ghost. It seems like dying a thousand deaths and the sting of rejection is not easy, but there is more that will receive you. Believe what I am telling you, because already there are some things this year that’s going to be cut into a quarter. These people are traveling by faith from place to place, and may have a million dollars but I doubt it. They are great scholars … I know this and they are great servants of the Lord. There's a man that is trying to kill you with his words, but the Lord's going to cause his murder to go back to him. Because, let me tell you why. You stole his thunder and lightening.
An insecure man is a dangerous man. I don’t care how much teaching or learning that he has got. This lady here;
She is your salvation through Jesus Christ and don’t you ever forget that. Just remember that, and that I am your brother. Don’t ever let anyone tell you Brother Pierce doesn’t love you. I am trying to work with everyone I can.
We are going to come into the fullness. You will not be perfected without all the five fold ministry. It’s the same church and it's still operating according to due season.
God has passed the mantle down to even women such as Phoebe. They say the woman is not supposed to say anything. Women I am on your side. We need some men to take up the mantle, though. I don’t know anything about this couple, but about a little car that is all I read. I don’t know anything about this couple but it’s almost as though he has had a nervous breakdown, but Brother you are going to come up twice, three times as strong, the outer court, inner court and holy of holies, the way, the truth and the life, faith, hope and love. You are going to go into that third dimension and even walk into that fourth dimension. You are going to walk up in the clouds up above the stratosphere.
You are going to see things, and she is too, and all kind of churches are going to come and ask you to come preach but don’t let it go to your head; let it go to your heart. Give as much too each one as you can. Give as much as you can to them, and then they are going to teach you. We are coming together those that are hungry just watch it. I believe that. It’s amazing what we can see. Jesus has said that He has set in the church Apostles and Prophets. Come here this is what I saw, I could not straighten it out because the anointing that has overshadowed you. I am going to talk plain this couple has got an anointing in the prophetical move of God, and I know what it’s like in the insecurity of some preachers. When you have five hundred in a fifty congregational church, and when you leave and the preacher cannot perform, you leave them insecure. You have to have been there to understand what its like. God knows how to take care of us. We are going to pray for you, because it's like your about to lose your mind, but also your wife has this thing coming down through here its like a dangling situation
Around the esophagus that is about to be healed. She wakes up with this same dream, and it’s like a nightmare. Satan tries to torment her mind that she’s wrong, that you are wrong, but understand what I am telling you. Obey them that have rule over you, but you are not wrong. Understand that you are going into that dimension that He is headship
Even though you do your best to work, you understand? Because women, you understand have already 2 strikes against them. First of all, you are a woman; second of all you have the gifts of the spirit operating in your life. Second of all, they don’t believe in women talking too much.
I am just going to be honest. I tell it like I see it. Some people don’t believe in it. Oh no, they don’t. I’ve been trying to tell you that for years. People want a Word from God.
They put you in a little room and half starve you to death. If God be for you, who can stand against you. If He has to send the devil to feed you. He can. He has done that for us. The devil works for him, anywhere. You are going to feel that anointing of God and that insecurity lift off of you. Now what I saw was a dream, but you are going to come out of this. The headship of your husband is going to lead you out, but the thing is Brother, you step up to the plate.
And, it’s going to be greater than it ever was before.
Son you are not second fiddle understand what I am trying to say. You are the son, the headship, the shepherd. He is the chief shepherd. Your wife is helpmeet and you work as one.
When you start working in the Holy Ghost it’s going to be more powerful than it’s ever been, and God is going to send you to the right places from this day forward in 2009.
Loose my Sister. The Lord spoke to me, Sister and said, they are talking. Let them talk. If you are were not doing anything then there would be no talk. The Lord is going to send you places where they want the move of God.
If you haven’t got any place to come home to rest, then come on here to rest because threes a bunch of people like David. I am not or maybe I am. He took all the vagabonds and cast always. We need to stay with the truth of the living
God. What I am saying is there is a vehicle that needs to be purchased. There's already prayer and people who wanted to get this for you, but its been hindered. God’s going to take care of this, and you’ll get your new vehicle.
The Lord's going to wake you up, and you are going to write the prophetical things God is going to show you together.
I see you singing to the Lord in tongues. My God, my God!
You are interceding. She is interceding for people like myself. She knows that we have been birthed.
What do you really see about this church? About us?
When are ya’ll going to be able to come back and enjoy the presence of the Lord with us? You have seen the Shekinah glory of God with us.
God’s going to clear the things out that is the chaff. God’s going to take it away. This is not the church. Its only a building.
When the Lord puts something together and God sanctions it it's going to be alright.
This is your offering Brother and Sister. This man of God and his wife. He’s going to show you things and really the books that she’s going to write, its going to astound her. She’s going to have to start on them very soon. She’s already started. She’s got poems and stuff written. I already see them. The books are coming. If she wants to publish, tell her I am writing one on healing.
I want to thank Brother Pierce for obeying the Holy Ghost. We needed these words. They confirmed what we already knew and had been hearing from Jesus. I have been being encouraged to write by Brother Klein, and recently began again writing poetry, which is something I have done since high school. Please pray for the Klein Family as we minister the words of Jesus in the earth.
In Jesus,

Stewardship
This morning we are driving down the highway discussing stewardship. You have to admire someone who is a good steward with what Jesus has entrusted to them. Some examples are home and property. We may look at this as being non-spiritual but it is an outcome of an investment that takes time and effort and good planning. There are people who have nice things and are simply good stewards and are to be commended. Sure we can always justify the fact that we are poor stewards with the scripture that says we should be storing our treasures up in heaven etc but then are we really giving that much to the cause of God that we can use that scripture to justify the fact that we never save a nickel and we make poor purchase choices?
Do we really need to buy that item at the dollar store and spend only a dollar and the item lasts only a day or maybe we need to invest five dollars for the same item and have it last longer?
Stewardship needs to be incorporated into every area of our lives. We need to be productive workers. On my job I think constantly of ways to better organize myself so that I can work smarter instead of harder. I am very blessed to be able to minister and work on my job. Nursing is a great ministry since I am caring for the sick in body and spirit. Its a dual purpose job. I commend anyone who has this kind of job. It did not come over night. It came through preparation and study. There are some great people I work with who have been diligent and gotten degrees but they had to first sacrifice and work for those degrees and deserve the money they make because of it. This is good stewardship. We cannot expect to be lazy servants and obtain riches. We have to give our all in every area and pray over it and then Jesus will give us the increase we desire. Faith is great but faith without works is dead. We need faith and works. We need to strive for a balance. Its easy to criticize our brothers and sisters because we harbor jealousy in our hearts. We can always say that this or that one wears too expensive clothes and pull out a scripture to defend ourselves concerning costly array but the honest truth is that what they are wearing may not be expensive since they make a lot of money and it may be quality items that are classic and can be worn many times. Its best to judge ourselves according to the word of God and pray that we can become better stewards. Motive is everything. I want to check my motives when I am too critical. Maybe jealousy is motivating me to criticize someone else when I am the one that needs to change.

Biblical Holiness
Hello Students,
Holiness - inward and outward.
A person can have the outward appearance of holiness, yet he or she is not holy.
Example:
I traveled with an Apostolic pastor to and from a class at Purpose Institute. Each time he had his radar detector going to keep from getting another speeding ticket. Sure, he was always dressed modestly with a short hair cut, etc., but was he really holy?
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake." Romans 13:1-5
My wife is Holy! inward and outward.
Outward
Hair
My wife has not cut her hair since she was twenty-two year of age. That was a very long time ago! Her hair is a sign of consecration to Jesus.
Have you noticed a woman with short hair acts differently than a woman with long hair. Does a woman with short hair act more manly than a woman with long hair?
Pants
I have never seen my wife in pants. why? She doesn't have a pair of pants. Just like I don't have a dress.
Why are pants an issue? I hadn't noticed the following. Dana points out the fact that a woman wearing pants moves differently than when she is wearing a dress. Her movements are more manly.
The point I am trying to make is that outward appearance may point to an inward spiritual problem or lead to a spiritual problem.
Example:
Someone may dress in a provocative manner causing attention leading to advances from the opposite sex which can lead into fornication/adultery.

A wife may complain about her husband not treating her as a lady. Well, wife do you look and act like a lady? Or, do you look and acts like one of his good buddies?

The Rapture
Hello Students,
The Rapture is being caught-up to be with Jesus in heaven.
This end-time event is not 'the Day of the Lord' which is when Jesus returns to walk on the earth.
What must take place before the rapture? Nothing!
The rapture can take place at any moment.
Theologians use the terms 'the imminent return of Jesus'.
"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." Matthew 24:42; Matthew 24:43-47
"Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." Luke 12:40
Are you ready for the rapture?
A non-Christian drives his/her car more carefully when they think a police officer is possibly around.
When a Christian knows Jesus could rapture him/her at any moment he or she is more on the alert to be obedient to the Holy Spirit (Jesus) all the time. Christians who know the rapture could take place at any moment are very careful not to sin. They are more apt to walk in the Holy Spirit all of the time! When one walks in the Holy Spirit he/she can't sin.
The RAPTURE can take place at any moment.
Are you ready to meet JESUS?

Raising Teenagers
Hello Friends,
Raising teenagers can be a lot of fun!
When a child reaches the age of 12 or 13, you may wish to stop saying 'no' as an automatic response to their request for permission. You may wish to say, 'tell me why I should say, yes.' The goal is to help the child to make decisions. A child must learn to think through the cause and effect of their decisions. What may happen if I do this, or what will happen if I do that?
In Jesus,
Bruce
