I am writing this to warn some of you. I don't want to see you fail in the mission Jesus has entrusted you with. There is a trap laid for your soul. If the enemy can do it he will disarm you and take you captive. Psalm 91 verse 3 says Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler. A fowler sets a trap to catch a prey unawares. So hopefully after reading this something will arise in your spirit and you will be more sensitive to the issues it involves.
I have been in ministry now since I was twenty- three. I received the Holy Ghost at 22
years of age. Through the years many things have been offered to me if I would not preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have been offered great job positions that though they paid well would have put me miles from a church so I declined. I went through over twenty years of marriage to a very unfaithful spouse. I could have gone out and looked for someone else but the law of the Spirit of Jesus Christ does not allow that. I waited on Jesus, and He led me out of it. In the meantime I remained the faithful party. I did not get on the phone or net with men nor did I flirt with them. I remained faithful to Jesus and to my marriage. I did Internet ministry with a church group for years. When an email came in from the opposite sex I made sure everyone in my household saw it. I kept nothing secret and I would refer them to another source who could help them. I kept my eyes on Jesus and my goals. I did not accept gifts from them nor did I get on live messenger. After years of struggling to maintain a ministry and hoping for better things I wasn't about to gamble it all on a feeling. People are emotional creatures. Jesus made us this way. He knows what its like to be a man as He became one for our sakes. He had women around him all the time. One sat at his feet regular but He did not sin. The Bible also does not say she was a married woman sitting at his feet nor that she was ugly.We need to be careful because the enemy of our souls is tempting us to give into our flesh. He wants us to give into the pride of life and the lust of the eyes. Satan is out to disarm the ministry.
When I met my husband Bruce for the first time in person he had just lost his wife of thirty years. One of the things that impressed me the most was that though he had every right in the natural to desire love and affection he remained faithful to her until the end. That to me was a major attraction. I wanted someone who was going to be faithful. It also helped that he is the most handsome man and best Bible teacher on the planet. Just the other night I listened as he preached on someones Internet ministry program. One of the women had gone to our website and looked at our pictures. You can easily see by looking at this site that we are together as a couple in all of our pictures. The comment made to him was that he was a very handsome man. I paid it no mind except that Bruce's voice got louder as he stated thank you both from him and his wife Dana. It then dawned upon me that this person never saw me in the picture at all. She was interested in flirting with Bruce if she could. That dear Brothers
and Sisters is what you will contend with. Don't disregard the voice of your wife or husband if he or she is telling you that a certain lady is paying you way too much attention. In the past I have been paid alot of unwanted attention but never did I let it trip me even though I desired physical and emotional affection. I think twice when someone pays me too much attention. I tell Bruce how I feel about it. I don't return to business places alone if someone does. Recently a man at a business kept flirting with me and trying to get me to buy him lunch. I went home and told Bruce and the next time I had to deal with him I had my husband with him who told him exactly what he thought about it all. Build up walls of love and faithfulness to protect your marriage. I tell Bruce I love him all day long and I mean it. I also tell him how handsome he is. He is not lacking attention by any means and neither am I. If the enemy could pry us apart though he would. The only way out of a marriage covenant is adultry .We have to remain faithful as He that has called us is faithful. Just being unhappy with someone and not liking the treatment or relationship is not enough. I want to tell you to run, run, run. The enemy knows how to destroy you. I know many men and women of God who were wonderful in ministry but are now just shredded by the devil. The pulpit is closed to them. People don't want to hear what they have to say anymore.The Lord, Himself, has shut the doors to ministry. Never think you are not an open target. The enemy has been tracking and trailing you and trying his best to gun you down. Don't give in to lust,pride or unrighteous living. Get closer to Jesus at any time of disappointment. Pray for your spouse. If you are a single minister guard your mind. Don't give the enemy an opportunity to bring a reproach on the church or your ministry. Happiness is not our goal but heaven is. We are not to preach this gospel and bring people to the knowledge of salvation and then give it up for a cheap sellout like Esau did. Remember God hated Esau. We need to live the promise.
In Jesus Name,

Is America Being Duped into Killing Her Prophets?
I met a man in Lagos, Nigeria who owns a nice hotel in Onitsha, Anambra State.
He had such an admiration for the USA. We then got into a conversation about our Nations current political stance. He was so shocked that our government ruled that abortion is legal. He asked if we could not all ban together against this and get this changed? I explained to him that it was a majority decision of the local party that is in office. He said that we are the ones who need prayer the most. It is illegal to abort a child in Africa. This was not a poor man. He just had not really ever faced the things we face here in America while trying to stand up for the innocent.
I believe the heart of Jesus is grieved over all that transpires in America due to selfishness. We have more gospel preached on our street corners than most Nations in the entire world. We are so blessed from the richest to the poorest. So many times we have been duped by Satan into believing that our nation is in such poverty when in reality when you measure the poorest of our people against true poverty such as in the nation of Uganda where a man may not even be able to acquire a suit of clothes or in places where the best the children have to wear for church is a clean pair of brief underwear then can we really feel we are in poverty? In the USA we have great health care. In many Nations health care is almost unheard of if you can even find a clinic of some sort. The only time my electricity has failed is during a major hurricane or circumstance of that sort. We have running water and flushing toilets. Our children awake daily to a hot breakfast and we send them great schools. In fact our local schools have been voted the best in the State in which we live. Gasoline may rise and fall in price but usually unless drastic things happen we can find some to run our cars.
Many of us work an hour from home and are able to commute. A University education is available for those who so desire even if they have to seek financial help to do so. It is still within reach for those who want it. We wear the best in clothing.
In foreign countries people sell Western attire and many try to copy our fashion.
I have to wonder how we can be so blind as to allow our most valuable resource, our children to be aborted in the womb?
I am so reminded of the proclamation that came forth in the days of Herod when he knew Jesus was to arrive and he feared His coming. He sent forth a proclamation to have all baby boys under the age of two killed. The days of Moses were the same. The midwives were commanded to kill the children at birth. The deliverer was due and Satan knew it. Can it be that he now fears that among our children a great deliverer will rise to the forefront and reveal all the lies he has been perpetrating amongst the American people so he stoops to the lowest level, that of self will?
He works on the ego of people and their ambition. He plants doubt that Jesus can and will provide in the minds of people causing them to thing that they would not be able to even feed more children. In a Nation that has plenty of daily bread that is so preposterous. We have enough to feed our children and that of surrounding Nations. The Bible means to receiving is to give. The more we give even out of our need, the more Jesus blesses us with. We cannot out give the Lord. We are to cast our bread upon the waters. We are to give like the Widow with the vessel of oil. The more she poured out the more she had to pour out. Satan has always worked through doubt. He will continue to work through doubt and since we know his works we can pray for our faith not to fail and to increase in the strength and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to pray for a greater understanding of all Jesus has in store for those who love Him. We as Christians don't have to swallow the lies of the enemy. We can stand up against his work in our midst. Someone needs to cry out to Jesus for the souls of men that are being destroyed daily. How are we to know which would have been Prophets who proclaimed the true Gospel message of Salvation. I feel a great revival outpouring of truth is going to be coming forth. Let us pray who are called to intercede for our Nation. Ask Jesus today for the Angel of the USA to go forth and strengthen those who are working in the gospel and speak to those who are in government positions and let righteous indignation rise up against this horror and lie of Satan.
Let us pray and prophesy that a greatness will arise in our Nation and that from the least to the greatest we will become a Nation of love one for another and that the truth of the gospel will be received in our country. Do not let the negative lies of Satan be upon your lips and continue to prophesy doom over our nation. Speak some things into existence in prayer. When the people of Jesus speak their words are life and things are created in the realm of the Spirit. Speak forth words of life to day for those around you. I hope if you are reading this that it stirs you to pray more for those who are in danger of physical death while they are in such an innocent state. I thank Jesus for all His blessings both physical and material. I pray that all who read this will today begin to experience a great thankfulness for all their blessings both physical and spiritual.

Jesus is Amazing!
Jesus' works always spoke for themselves. He had no problem proving His power to those around Him. If they doubted before, they went away having seen and heard the wonderful miracles only He is able to perform. In the world we live in many think they can call out His word and have Him serve them, but that is not going to work. We are His servants. We must simply learn to call upon Him who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we ask or even think according to the power that worketh in us and ask that His Holy Will be done in our lives and bow our will to His Will. He is the healer. He is the deliverer. He is the peace giver. We cannot have peace aside from Him and His will. We are not living the life we choose with Jesus as the condiment. We are living for Jesus. In Him, we live and move and have our being. Our lives are no longer our own, but we have been bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
The work we do is His work. If we need instructions on what to do, then we need to ask the Master Himself how to do it. He knows what will and what won't work. So this day, if your plans are not working out is it possible that they are your plans and not Jesus' plans? Just a thought.
In the following Scriptures, we can see that He is able to take our doubts and make us true believers as He did for those at Capernaum. He is as always AMAZING.
In Jesus,
Dana Klein
Mar 2:1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
Mar 2:2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
Mar 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
Mar 2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
Mar 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
Mar 2:6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Mar 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
Mar 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
Mar 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
Mar 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
Mar 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
Mar 2:12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
The work we do is His work. If we need instructions on what to do, then we need to ask the Master Himself how to do it. He knows what will and what won't work. So this day, if your plans are not working out is it possible that they are your plans and not Jesus' plans? Just a thought.
