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.

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.
Matthew 7:3

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.

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

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, 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,

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.

Dana Klein

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!
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.

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.

God,Gifts and my favorite preacher!
The Bible says this is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.
This am I was up early speaking with a Prophet and a Prophetess. They say they feel some
good things about my husbands trip to Nigeria.I am praying for him daily and will be praying the whole time plus taking care of our children. We have four children at home and that keeps us really busy along with full time jobs and ministry plus studying and writing. Whew! How do we get it all done? We just do it. Each day is a gift to us from Jesus. I am always thanking Jesus for bringing our lives and ministries together. I don't know of any man on planet earth who shares the same burdens and loves people more than Bruce Klein. The only reservation I have about him going is that I don't get to have him at home for all those days.Nigeria is getting one of my greatest blessings and I hope they know that the minute he steps out into the pulpit.He is my favorite preacher.
In Jesus,
Dana Klein

Christian Doctrinal View or Secular World View
Hello Everyone,
Christians are to follow Biblical doctrines/mandates, but can you defend these teachings by Scripture?
No abortions, no homosexuality, no lying, no murdering, no stealing, etc., these mandates can all be supported by Scripture. Can you support these mandates with Bible verses?
These days Christians are being accused of hatred against those who abort and have a gay life style. Christians are to love everyone. But, Christians are commanded to take a stand against SIN!
Young people need to know what the correct Christian doctrinal view is and a willingness to stand for Jesus! They need to know the truth to take a stand on campus.
Adults need to know what the correct Christian doctrinal view is and a willingness to stand for Jesus!
They need to know the truth to take a stand in the work place, etc.
No matter what the 'correct political veiw of the world' is Christians must take a stand for JESUS! A Christian can take a more solid stand for Jesus if they know Bible verses to defend their view.
In Jesus,
Bruce

Fellowship One with Another
So you believe? What now? You need fellowship, I need fellowship.One of the main things the early church did after receiving truth was fellowship, Acts 2:42.
"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." Acts 2:42
We need to gather with believers of like precious faith, and worship the One true God whom we know manifested in the flesh as Jesus Christ. That scripture first reads they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrine, so we know that fellowship should first be based on whether those we are fellowshipping are continuing in the apostle's doctrine. Breaking of bread was then on the list which so reminds me of a certain Sabbath service we attended at a Jewish Synagogue.They took the bread and blessed it, and then shared it one with another. When they gave some to me for our family of course it was half a loaf since we are many. We were happy though, that they asked us to share bread. Last of all that Scripture says prayers. We need to continue to pray not only alone, but together and hold each other up in prayer. Each night when we are at our home base our family gathers together after Bible study, and my husband leads us in prayer. One of our children often asks,"Dad, what do I pray?" The answer my husband gives is always to pray as the Lord's Spirit would have you to pray. Sometimes, we don't feel we have a direction and in that instance we can always follow the command of Jesus and pray according to Scripture, and begin to bless the name of God. I hope today that I can encourage someone and be a light and lead them in prayer and truth to the one who holds us all in fellowship one with another, Jesus Christ.
1 John 1:7 "but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Have a great day in Jesus!

A Second Baby - To Abort or not to Abort?
This story was receive as an email. I did not write the following story.
A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:
'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 yr. old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.'So the doctor said: 'Ok, and what do you want me to do?'She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.' She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms. The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be ok with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution. The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!
If you agree, please forward. Together we can help save precious lives! AMEN Amen Amen Amen

Believe Jesus
Dear Students,
Believing in Jesus is different from believing Jesus.
One must have faith that Jesus can be believed. One must trust Jesus to do what He says He will do. The promises are for those who believe Jesus.
"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." James 2:19

Just Say 'NO' to Easy Believism!
Hello Students,
Today the world is confused by the false teachers of the Gospel. Many are teaching easy believism. Meaning, 'those who say a sinner's prayer are going to heaven'. The problem is a sinner's prayer is not found in the Bible, anywhere, nor is there teaching on praying a sinner's prayer in the Holy Bible.
"He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them." Proverbs 24:24-25

We are blessed!

Creationists verses EVILutionists/Evolutionists - Ben Stein Reveals the Truth
Hello Students,
Christians verses worldliness goes on and on. The ungodly people of the world don't want to believe in Jesus. They don't want to worship Jesus. They want to worship themselves! They want to ignore truth! Atheists ignore scientific facts!

Divorce, Fornication, Adultery
Dear Friends,
Divorce is a nasty, sad, unwanted, frowned-upon topic that divides!
Does Jesus allow for divorce? YES.
"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Matthew 19:9
What qualifies as 'fornication'? No one would challenge - physical sex with someone who is not your spouse as qualifying for some aspect of fornication.
When an innocent spouse divorces over this fact, why are they being accused. Why aren't they supported for being Biblical?
The old adage that in a divorce both are guilty is not Biblical. Was Jehovah at fault with divorcing Israel in the Old Covenant? NO.
Who has the perfect marriage?
Many Apostolic pastors don't have perfect marriages! If they could solve their marital problems, they would.
So when a Christian who is married thinks about themselves getting divorced in conjunction with a couple who is getting divorced, they become defensive. They know their marriage is questionable. They become insecure, so they attack the divorcing couple, even though one spouse is not guilty of fornication. They ignore Biblical teaching to protect their own marriage and their own insecurities.
The innocent spouse needs to be supported, not put down.
Do you know what it is like to have a spouse who has been in bed with another?
There are probably hurting Christians in your church who could tell you more than you could spiritually endure!

Sovereignty of God, Your Will, Your Choices
Dear Friends,
Who is in control of your life outside of your will?
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:” Ephesians 2:2
Where as in a non-believer’s life, they are at the whim of Satan, so for them they are lucky to still be alive!
The Sovereignty of God is the title of a book written by Arthur Pink. As a five point Calvinist, he believes that you became a Christian because God controls your will, so you didn't have a choice; you had to say 'yes'. He also believes 'once saved always saved'.
What do you believe?
- Do you believe that Jesus determines before a Christian is born whether he or she is going to hell, that an individual's destination is decided without him or her choosing? Different theologies define ‘predestination’ differently, so when the word ‘predestine’, etc. is read in the Bible the wrong definition maybe part of the mind-set. If a person is taught that a particular color is ‘red’ and someone else says no I was taught that color is ‘yellow’, who is right? They both can’t be right.
- Do you believe you can turn your back on Jesus, and loose your salvation?
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:5-6
The Bottom Line
For me, I want Jesus to be in control of my life all of the time! Luck is not a part of my life. I don’t want anything left to chance. If a part is left to chance, can the devil maneuver that chance? Even in playing a game, Jesus my God controls the die or dice.

Bruce Klein

Exercise, Gluttony, Overweight
Dear Friends,
“For bodily exercise is profitable to a little, but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the present life now, and of that coming.” 1 Timothy 4:8 LITV
"And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear." Deuteronomy 21:20-21
What is the difference between a drunkard and a glutton?
“Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart in the way. 20 Be not among winebibbers; among gluttonous eaters of flesh; 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.”” Proverbs 23:19-21
"I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which wasI will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment." Ezekiel 34:15-16
Within the first year of marriage, my wife gained about 100 pounds. She keep that weight for about twelve years. How did she loose it? She asked Jesus for help then cut down on her food intake and walked at least an hour every day.
In Bible college, the boss of the denomination would pretend he had a big gut, and would pretend to place it on the pulpit saying how disgusting big guts were to the church. Some of the Bible college professors and the president of the college were guilty. He went on and on. I determined there and than I would do everything I could to keep from having a big gut!
What does Jesus think about those who are overweight?
Well, it may come back to why are some overweight?
- Some Christians have been beat-up so much that they battle depression, etc., so they gain weight withdrawing to a life of inactivity, to a life away from reality.
- Some Christians are simply immature; they have determined to eat what they want when they want. In psychology, we were taught that 'I want' represents a person still in the childish stage of life. They throw a tantrum if they don't get want they want to eat when they want it. They are good at covering-up or justifying their tantrums.
- Some Christians are busy working, taking care of their families, in ministry,etc. than one day they realize that they have become overweight.
If a Christian cannot control their eating habits, he or she probably cannot control other areas of their physical body - tongue, lust, anger, hatred, temper, etc., etc. Can a Christian not have self-control? Can a pastor be overweight? lacking self-control?

Once the weight is gained, how can it be lost?
Gluttony is a sin that needs to be confessed.
Once a person realizes that being fat is not taking care of Jesus' temple, he or she will hopefully be motivated to control their food consumption and begin to exercise. Every medical doctor says a person who is overweight is not healthy. Which means they are not taking care of Jesus' temple. You may wish to ask Jesus to help you loose your extra pounds. Will Jesus help you if you ask? Yes.
In Jesus,
Bruce

Cursing (Cussing) - With or Without 4 Letter Words
Dear Friends,
What is cursing? What is cussing?
The word 'cussing' is an informal variation of cursing.
If you were to ask this question to someone outside the church, you might be told 'the use in English of four letter words'.
If you were to ask this question to Christians, you might be told, 'Cursing takes place when someone says something in a negative manner to be mean.'
Which is right?
Both are right. Not to be offensive, when someone tells someone to 'go to hell'. Are they cursing the person they are speaking too? Yes.
"Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:" Romans 3:13-14
The following URL is to a basic study on the use of words for cursing or blessing someone.

Jews for Jesus, Rock of Israel
Dear Friends,
There are two groups of Messianic Jews that I know about involved in attempting to falsely evangelize Jews.
Jews for Jesus
Jews for Jesus is a Baptistic in doctrine organization attempting to reach Jews with the false gospel of easy believism. They typically use the New International Version. Many of their leaders have a masters degree from Fuller Theological Seminary, so they have been taught and the ones I have met believe and have a prospective based on philosophical theology not Biblical theology.
Greg, our son, worked in a Jews for Jesus camp in Wisconsin. He was the camp's song leader and assistant counselor. He also was a summer missionary in New York City where his ministry partner was David an Israeli who died at the hands of the Palestinians. Greg was not comfortable with his training in evangelism. He was taught an aggressive, in your face, method of evangelism. He was used to his Dad's method, one of friendliness, love, caring, etc. Not seeking to argue, but to show Jesus' love.
As a family, we attended a Jews for Jesus In-gathering in Wisconsin. We had a great time.
I have personally spoken with the founder of Jews for Jesus, Moishe Rosen.
Have also spent time with Moishe Rosen's daughter and her family. Alan Bland her gentile husband is really a nice guy. Greg had a crush on their daughter.
Had traveled with another of their missionaries.
The staff have great salaries coming from their going from church to church asking for money.
http://jewsforjesus.org/
Rock of Israel
Rock of Israel is a pentecostal in doctrine organization attempting to reach Jews with the false gospel of easy believism. The New International Version is used in the books written by co-founder Ruth Specter Lascelle. She writes the way I do, in outline form.
I have had dinner with Doug Carmel a long time missionary with Rock of Israel.
Robert Specter the son of the founders who is now the leader of Rock of Israel and I in the past have spoken about me being one of their missionaries.

Can a Christian Go to HELL?
Hello Friends,
Bruce
Can you always receive forgiveness for your sin? NO!
"Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee." Acts
"In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth: (26) And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." 2 Timothy 2:25-26
"For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, (5) And have tasted the good word of God, and the power of the world to come, (6) If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame." (Hebrews 12:15-17) Hebrews 6:4-6
"... but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil." 1 Peter 3:12
Forgiveness ????

Yes, Jesus is Alive!
Hello Friends which includes my Students,
We have returned from visiting and ministering in churches.
The fellowship with The Alstotts in New Albany, Indiana was heavenly! They are very godly people! Spent the evening and morning with them, then back on the road.
The fellowship with the Gilmores in Mobile, Alabama was also heavenly! My preaching and teaching was well received. In one of the meetings, Jesus gave me directions for my future ministry.
Also was privileged to met in person one of my past Greek students, Sister Dana Cooper from Florida. She is now teaching Greek to her students!
There was a youth revival in this church while I was there. I didn't have a leadership role. Seven youths were water baptized in Jesus' name for the washing away of sin. Thank you, Jesus!!!!!
The fellowship with Brother Paul Pinnock in Jamestown, TN was heavenly! Brother Paul was ordained as the pastor . I briefly spoke on Evangelism to Moslems.
With my wife going on to be with Jesus, it was a real blessing to be with godly saints!
In Jesus,
Brother Bruce

Pitfalls in Choosing a Pastor
So, your church needs a pastor, and you want Jesus' choice.
Or, you are looking for a church to attend, and you want Jesus' choice.
Probably each decade has certain ways the devil is attacking Jesus' church.
The following are areas you may wish to think about as you choose a pastor.
1. Which Holy Bible does the pastor use?
In question are the modern versions like the New International Version, New American Standard Version, New Revised Standard Version, etc.
What's the concern? Please look-up the following verses in one of the preceding perversions.
Need an explanation?
http://www.freewebs.com/bibleteach/whichbible.htm
2. Has the pastor been divorced and remarried?
In the Old Covenant, adulters were stoned.
"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Matthew 19:9
The only Biblical grounds for divorce is fornication.
3. What does the pastor teach on endtimes?
A new heresy is preterism. Many so-called Apostolics and I do mean many are believing and teaching this false doctrine.
Many pastors are teaching a post-trib rapture. I am not coming against a post-trib rapture.
One must believe in a pre-trib rapture. One is raptured based on ones faith! If one doesn't believe in a pre-trib rapture, then when it takes place he/she will be stuck here on earth to go through the seven years of tribulation. During this time will one deny Jesus causing one to end-up in hell?
4. Facial hair
There are Apostolics who believe a man must not have facial hair. So, does that mean if Jesus came into their meeting He would not be accepted because He has sideburns, a mustache, and a beard?
I don't have facial hair because of personal choice. If a pastor has facial hair, it is his personal choice. Legalism has no place in Jesus' church!
The point is it is not sin or anti-biblical to have facial hair.
5. True Salvation
There are so-called Apostolic pastors who teach that a sinner's prayer provides salvation. I know some who hold this view personally; I have spent time with them face to face. Two are graduates of a UPC Bible college. A different man was a UPC pastor for many years, now he is a pastor of an independent Apostolic church.
The point is the Bible clearly teaches the need for water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism as obedience to the gospel of Jesus. Easy believism is the devil's deception.
If you are reading this blog, and you don't know what I mean by the need for water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism, than you may wish to see the studies on salvation. One must look at all of the verses in the Bible not just the verses used for easy believism. Today is the day for your salvation. Jesus bless you.

6. An independent minded Apostolic pastor, a must
http://www.freewebs.com/acseminary/denominationsno.htm
Sometimes a man or a lady belongs to a denomination for whatever reason, but they must have Jesus as their boss not the denomination. If he or she looks at the denomination simply as a fellowship, than he or she maybe able to do Jesus' will.
7. The pastor's leadership style
These two leadership styles are opposite each other.
One style is to control everyone. The pastor is the boss. If a sheep disobeys, they are beaten. Since he is the boss, he believes he has the right to fleece the flock.
The other leadership style is when the pastor is the leader. He leads the flock to evangelize. If the flock is not going, he doesn't beat the sheep. Jesus is the Chief Shepherd, 1 Peter 5:4. The pastor is the under shepherd. He must be led by Jesus. If the pastor is led by Jesus, the people will follow.
Jesus is the Lord/Boss. Jesus should be every Christian's Boss/Lord. Jesus is the only boss/Lord in a church.
8. College, University, Seminary Degree
There maybe some value in a degree, but the value is limited.
A pastor can have a degree and not know Jesus! A degree does not help one to hear Jesus. A pastor must gain revelational knowledge and wisdom directly from Jesus!
A pastor should have a working knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. Since, the inspired Word of God is in Hebrew and Greek. There are plenty of helps (books & computer programs) available to be used in working with the Hebrew and Greek Bible.
My point, I believe to have as a requirement a Bible college degree to be a pastor is not Biblical. What degree did (Jesus) Peter, Paul, etc. have?
They had spent time with Jesus! A pastor must have spent time with Jesus!

Or, you are looking for a church to attend, and you want Jesus' choice.
Probably each decade has certain ways the devil is attacking Jesus' church.
The following are areas you may wish to think about as you choose a pastor.
1. Which Holy Bible does the pastor use?
In question are the modern versions like the New International Version, New American Standard Version, New Revised Standard Version, etc.
What's the concern? Please look-up the following verses in one of the preceding perversions.
Matthew
Need an explanation?

2. Has the pastor been divorced and remarried?
In the Old Covenant, adulters were stoned.
"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Matthew 19:9
The only Biblical grounds for divorce is fornication.
3. What does the pastor teach on endtimes?
A new heresy is preterism. Many so-called Apostolics and I do mean many are believing and teaching this false doctrine.
Many pastors are teaching a post-trib rapture. I am not coming against a post-trib rapture.
One must believe in a pre-trib rapture. One is raptured based on ones faith! If one doesn't believe in a pre-trib rapture, then when it takes place he/she will be stuck here on earth to go through the seven years of tribulation. During this time will one deny Jesus causing one to end-up in hell?
