Family Bible Study

Hello Friends,

The goal in our family is to have a family Bible study, when we as a family set down in our living room and have Jesus teach us through a family member. Last evening, Ashleigh taught us on an aspect of spiritual warfare. She is twelve. Saturday evening, Joseph our seven year old will teach our family Bible study. Normally, I teach the family Bible study. Our children know how to teach the Bible.

Some parents expect the church to teach their children. From my experience, Sunday School is when they make a craft and learn a Bible story which most children already know. Why? Most churches seem to use a standard curriculum from their denomination. The lessons are not written by the Sunday School teacher for the spiritual level of his or her students.

I believe parents have the responsibility to train their child. Children must be taught how to make godly choices in life. Is not to train your child in Jesus' ways, sin?

In years past benching was used by many families to teach their children. Benching is when after supper all would stay at the table to pray and study the Bible.


"And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." Deuteronomy 6:7

"Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:" Psalm 78:3-7

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

"And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. " Ephesians 6:4

"And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." 2 Timothy 3:15

Bruce Klein's Life Verse

Dear Friends,

How are you all?

Below is my life verse.

" These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, ... : 6 But go rather to the lost sheep ... . 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." Matthew 10:5-8

A Key Word in a Counseling Situation

Dear Friends,

When you are listening to someone in need, a key word to listen for is the word 'but'.

He or she will be talking then use the word 'but'. That is the time to really listen. You are about to hear something very important. Everything is okay 'but'. My life is okay 'but'. My Christian walk is okay 'but'. My ministry is okay 'but'.

In Jesus,

Sinning on the Way to Hell

Hello Friends,

A few months back, the chief of police who regularly attends a certain Apostolic church was asked by a man this question. 'Now that we know each other, can I speed through your town without getting a speeding ticket?' The chief of police responded by saying, 'I won't give you a speeding ticket; I'll shoot you!'

Jesus says, we are brothers, or you are my sister. Do we now think we can sin because we are Jesus' friend? Are we now special? Can we now sin without consequence? Do you think you are special which means Jesus now winks at your sin?

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:" Acts 17:30

"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." James 4:17

Do you lie? Do you steal? Do you look at pornography? Do you _____ ? What keeps you from living a holy life? What keeps you from a closer communion with Jesus? What is going to keep you from Heaven?

In Jesus,
Bruce

Jesus is Lord

Jesus is Lord. He is the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. We utter those words and sometimes it seems that we are part of the crowd leaving the tower of Babel after the judgement. The world we live in just doesn't make sense. It is during those times that we have to rely on Jesus being Lord and Master and know that His ways are above our ways. Lately, I have been going through a trial of faith. It seems at times like we just leave one fiery trial and another one arrives to take its place before we even get a chance to rest. It is the enemies job to make life hard for us when we are doing a good job witnessing and winning souls. I just went through one ordeal on my job with a person and hopefully finally passed that trial when another has been already hoisted my way. I suppose Jesus thinks I am growing and can handle it all. I can always rely on Jesus to strengthen me for the times ahead. We may not know what is ahead but He does. I think back to King David and how he first slay the lion and the bear and then went on to do greater things. The lion and the bear were only small change where God was concerned. The children of Israel needed a fierce leader to bring them through times of battle and David was it. He had many failings as a man but the bible says he was a man after God's own heart. That to me is very encouraging. I look at myself and see where my flesh many times fails to make the mark and I again need to cry out for strength but know that if I am sincere and seeking Jesus's perfect will for my life and doing all I can do on my own that mercy and truth will meet together and the goodness of Jesus will carry me through the trial instead of taking the trial away. I hope I have helped encouraged someone today to keep fighting the good fight of faith. Don't give up because you fail. Just get back up and try again. You are entrusted with a precious gift of faith. Pray that it fail not and let Jesus be Lord. You after all could never and will never be able to save yourself but He is able to save all who call on His name.
In Jesus,
Dana Klein

Bruce and Dana's Prayer Requests

Hello Friends,

Please pray for us:
Bruce has been asked to teach a Comparative World Religions course for Louisiana State University (LSU). The course, dates, and times have been agreed to by Bruce and the LSU committee. What is left to discuss is money. Please pray that when teaching the class, Jesus will always have His way.

Bruce and Dana believe they are being led to minister by shortwave radio. They are blessed to know Brother Joshua Sparks who has experience ministering by shortwave radio as an evangelist. Please pray for full allowance to speak fully as Jesus leads.

Bruce and Dana are both writing a book each for publication. Dana's book is on faith. Bruce's is on healing. Please pray Jesus will have His way in each book.

In Jesus,
Bruce & Dana

All things are possible

This is a great time to be working for Jesus. I am so blessed to work along side a Great
man of God. Jesus has blessed me tremendously. I wanted to share this for the sake of those who are struggling with English and have been shy to enter into one of our Biblical Greek classes. Don't feel like you cannot learn Greek. Its not that hard. I have studied Greek with Dr. Klein. His classes are easy to follow. The big concern for some is that they may not be able to comprehend the language, and that its too hard. Consider this: 1. You already know more than one language. 2. Jesus is going to help
you with the areas you lack as all things are possible with God. 3. Brother Klein is
going to help you along.
So with all this in mind maybe its time you take the chance and study Greek?
Its a very easy language. I find it to be easier than Acadian French. Since you will
be only dealing with the Biblical words its going to be easier than learning a whole new language. If I can do it so can you.
In Jesus,
Dana Klein

Demonbuster.com - Bad and Good

Hello Students,

On the internet there is a website titled demonbuster.com

Mr. Stan Madrak is the founder.

Dana and I had lunch with him the other day. He does not attend a church.

Below is a quote from his website:
"HOW YOU CAN, AND DO, HAVE DEMONS - EVERYONE HAS DEMONS, NO EXCEPTIONS (so this includes all Christians)." These are all his words! Satan has deceived and defeated Mr. Madrak!

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." John 8:36

This man has seen demons manifest, but instead of casting them out, he plays games with them.

I have his Deliverance Manual in my home. There are some good teachings in this book, but there are some very bad teachings, as well. You can read and download the entire manual for free on his website.

I had been trained at Hewisch Baptist Church, which had been set-up by Win Worley. Their theology is the same as Stan Madrak's. If you would like to see demons manifest; this is the place. They have a big deliverance service every 3 months. Mass deliverance is very wrong! I was a deliverance worker for many of these services.

Sister Klein's Fantastic Cajun Pecan Pralines

I know the title is bragging but when I make these as gifts people rave about the buttery taste, and since we have pecan trees in our yard I get to make them with fresh ingredients...yum, yum...but don't eat them a lot or you'll end up not able to pass through the door and have to have your car and coffin special made.


4 1/4 c.sugar...I use organic sugar..but you can use white if you can't get organic, but honestly you will be missing that special taste because organic has a hint of molasses taste.

2 c.milk(canned evaporated milk is the best taste but make sure you cut it with water like the label reads or it's too rich.)

1 stick butter(real butter not margarine)

1 tsp.REAL vanilla extract(if you can't get real vanilla in your area
take one vanilla bean and split it and place in (half pint)small bottle of Bourbon and let cure at least two weeks(wear a scarf and dark glasses when you purchase it..hehehe. This is what real vanilla is. The alcohol will dissolve in the cooking)

2 cups Pecan halves.

In a large heavy pot, mix 4 cups sugar, milk and butter. In another very small pot, melt or brown about 1/4 cup or less of sugar(this is what gives pralines the brown color. We do not use brown sugar)

When the large pot starts to boil, add the small pot of sugar, stirring
constantly.
Bring to a soft boil stage and immediately take off of fire. Add vanilla and pecans.
Stir until it starts to turn a dull color, and you feel that it is getting hard to stir; you may hear a cracking sound!

Pour on waxed paper.

Note: When I make these I line cookie sheets with wax paper and turn them out on these.I use a large stainless steel cooking spoon and about a spoonful like this is enough for each praline.

They do not take long to cool. I store them in tins or give them away in glass jars. These are fantastic and this is the recipe the older Acadian women make.

Setting Captives Free

It is a blessing and a curse to work in a prison. Some days I thank Jesus for it and other days I am so weary of it. When you walk side by side with those who don't know Jesus as Lord and
Saviour it can be such a burden. If that person wants to know Jesus its an easy and wonderful task. If that person is loving the sinful life and has no desire for change then its a hard walk.
Pray for me as I work and minister to those who are sick and dying in our prison system. I would love to share truth to as many as possible. Pray the Lord would open up hearts that are so bound and set them free with the gospel of Jesus Christ in our prisons. Not everyone may be able to go where I go but your prayers can go there. Some of these people will never walk free in the world outside of these prison gates again but we can go with the gospel. If you
have a burden for prison ministry please contact me. I can give you advice and also would love for you to become my prayer partner in this matter. Its Jesus' will to visit those in prison but we really need to visit them with the truth in salvation.

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

In Jesus,

Bruce

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.
In Jesus,
Dana Klein

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.

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.
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.

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 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.




In Jesus,
Bruce and Dana

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?

Holy Ghost and Fire

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

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

Living in the Realm of Faith!

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

Substance-that which has an actual existence.

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

I am so excited about all that Jesus has promised my family this year.I have been telling Bruce that I want a home of our own.I have been asking Jesus for one. I have a vision of what I want that home to be. I want it to have a room to house our library. I want it to be white with green shutters. I want it to be multi-level and have a big garage. I want enough property so my sons and daughter can run outside and chase a big dog around. I want a bedroom that everyone can call their own and feel a sense of security in.We are called to travel alot but I feel like children need a home and stability. The natural realm is not our home but we seek a city whose builder and maker is God. I know though that in this world Jesus wants us to prosper and be in health. Part of that prosperity and abundant life I believe includes not being a pauper when Jesus has declared that He owns the cattle on a thousand hills and He owns the hill as well. Anyway Prophet Phillips a month or so ago told Brother Klein and I that he saw us buying a house and described exactly what I have been praying for. Just this weekend we visited Peace Tabernacle and Brother Charles Pierce said to us that he saw us getting a home, a place to live within the upcoming year. That is it.I have now moved into the next dimension in faith.I am not going to be worried about putting up any more pictures or beautifying my surroundings. I am now beginning to

plan things for my new house....the one with the library and the land and the children chasing a dog (a big dog Bruce). I am not going to live within the confines of my current situation. I am going to live in faith.

Something else I would like to share is that my face had been in alot of pain due to some nerve damage I had two months ago. I got prayer and today the pain is no where near where it has been and the feeling is returning to that area of my face. Thank you Jesus. I want to live knowing that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. I confess that every day this thing is going to get better and better and no longer exist.That is the substance.I am not planning for misery but I am planning for victory.

In Jesus,

Dana Klein

If I Were President

Dear Friends,

The following is a writing assignment written by our son.

If I Were President

By Luke Klein (Age Ten)

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

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

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

Hello Students,

The following is an article from 'Israel Today':

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

Peace Tabernacle Meridian Mississippi

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

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

Hello Students,

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

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

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

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

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

The Family Name

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

Recommeded Greek and Hebrew Dictionaries

Dear Students,



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

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

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

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

These lexicon would be classified as fundamental in theology.

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

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

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

Bruce is Back from Nigeria!

Hello Friends,

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

Thank you for praying for us!

I was the only speaker for this conference.

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

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

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

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

Thoughts on Wealth and Eternity

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

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.

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
