Which Bible Should You Use? King James Version vs. New International Version
If you have a book like the New International Version, New American Standard, Revised Standard Version, etc., please look-up these verses: Matthew 17:21 – Matthew 18:11 – Matthew 23:14 –Mark 7:16 – Mark 9:44 – Mark 9:46 – Mark 11:26 – Mark 15:28 – Luke 17:36 – Luke 23:17 – John 5:4– Acts 8:37 – Acts 15:34 – Acts 24:7 – Acts 28:29 – Roman 16:24
Who doesn’t want you to know the facts left out? Satan! He left out Words when he quoted God’s Words to Eve. He left out Words when he quoted God’s Words to Jesus in the wilderness. Satan continues to cause Words to be edited from Jesus’ Holy Bible. In the New Testament alone, there are 64,000 less Words in the New International Version than the King James Version!
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away.” Luke 21:33
“But the Word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the Word which by gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:25
“For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17
Majority Byzantine Greek Manuscripts vs. Minority Edited Gnostic Alexandrian Critical Greek Manuscripts
Majority Byzantine Greek Manuscripts – Greek NT for the King James Version More than 5,000 Greek manuscripts
Edited Minority Gnostic Alexandrian Critical Greek Manuscripts – Greek NT for the New International Version, and most new books. Less than 40 Greek manuscripts.
At Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College, we teach Biblical truth! We don’t have a denomination to please! Classes start January 22, 2011. Come to learn more truth and Biblical Greek.

Knowledge of the Word Changes Your Life
Col 3:10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
In studying this scripture this morning I began to look at the Greek manuscript. In clarifying the text the word man is added but in reality the preceding scripture Col 3:9 refers to the word anthropos
Not lying to one another is mentioned also in Col 3:9
The definition of lying here is ψεῦδος pseudos
Pseudos means false. To give a false impression would also qualify as lying. Anything that is defined as pseudos means false or something that appears to be true and even has the appearance of truth but is indeed not the real thing when closely examined.
In Jesus Christ we no longer do and say the things we used to do before we came to Him.
How do we do this?
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Yet we have to wonder how is my mind renewed? How can my mind be transformed? Is it done automatically? Lets look to the scripture for another text that has out answer:
First of all, we have to give some of our own effort or self will over to Jesus in this matter.
The Bible says to put off lying and anger. These are choice we make every day. We have the choice to sin or not to sin. Knowing the consequences of sin as a Christian we need to make the
Biblical choice. There is not excuse the Bible says we sin when we are drawn away by our own lusts.
James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: Prov 17:27; Eccl 5:2;
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein , he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
We have some things we need to put in order that we might match up to the life the Word is calling us to. Yes, the Holy Ghost changes us but we also have to give our will over to obey the will of the Lord.
Look at these scriptures Titus 3:2-5
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. Phil 4:5;
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Secondly, the scripture speaks of the Renewing of the Holy Ghost. We have given a new life by the Spirit of the Lord.
Here is what 2Peter chapter 1 has to say about it:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. I
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
What example does the Bible give of a servant who knows the Lord's will yet does not apply it to his life?
Luke 12:47-48
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself , neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes .
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes . For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
These are some things to think about today. I hope this helps you along your path of
living for Jesus Christ.

Dana Klein

Light for Your Path
“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2
It is so amazing how such good things can come from small places. The name “Bethlehem” literally means , “House of Bread”. It is in this small place that Jesus Christ was born. The Lord kept this promise. This small town of Bethlehem was a pivotal point in history for God’s people.
The Prophet Isaiah wrote the following prophecy:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
We find in Matthew 1:21 the following words which fulfill Isaiah’s prophecy:
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” Matthew 1:21-25
Jesus is all the things Isaiah said He would be. He is the “child” promised. He is the “son” given. He is “wonderful.” He is our “Counsellor.” He is the “Mighty God.” He is the “Everlasting Father.” He is the “Prince of Peace.”

Wait as David the King Waited!
“And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.” 1 Samuel 16:1
“Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.” 1 Samuel 16:13
“David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.” 2 Samuel 5:4
David became king at the age of thirty, and he reigned forty years in all. David waited for Jehovah’s time for him to reign over Israel. David waited possibly thirteen to seventeen years for God’s Words to be fulfilled. During some of this period of waiting, David was fleeing from Saul who was determined to kill him. The point is David held to Jehovah’s promise patiently waiting his time as king. The Holy Bible doesn’t have him speaking about his kingship. David simply waited.
The application for Christians is to receive your personal promise by direct or indirect revelation then believe the promise will be fulfilled in Jesus’ time frame. If you have been told you will minister in Mexico, wait and stay committed to Jesus. He will fulfill his promise.

Biblical Theology vs. Systematic Theology
At Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College, we teach only Biblical Theology!
Why? What is the difference between Biblical theology and systematic theology?
Biblical Theology is based only on what the Bible teaches!
Systematic theology is based on the systematic theology of the denomination’s theology. Systematic theology searches for verses to support the denomination’s theology.
‘Biblical theology is not systematic theology or exegesis; nor is it merely a different arranging of the same material.’ Dr. Charles Ryrie, Biblical Theology of the New Testament, Pg. 9

Creation vs. Evilution (Evolution)
Are there any facts to support 'evilution', NO! Since there aren’t facts to support evolution, it is not even a theory; it is a hypothesis. ‘A hypothesis is an educated guess at how something will happen while a theory is a hypothesis that has been proven. Once you develop a hypothesis you can test it out in hopes that you can make a theory out of your guess.’ Ask.com
Progression of Man? Evilutionist's so-called ‘Proof’ There is not a missing link!
-------------------------------
Java Man - Man Based on an ape’s skull
Heidelberg Man - Based on a human jawbone
Nebraska Man - Based on a tooth of an extinct pig
Piltdown Man - Based on a jawbone of a modern ape - hoax
Ramapithecus - Based on bones identical to an orangutan (baboon)
Peking Man - No evidence
Neanderthal Man - Based on 100% modern man
Cro-magnon Man - Based on a skull with an equivalent in modern men
Lucy - Based on bone fragments of a chimpanzee
Modern Man - Based on a skull that has not evolved

Dinosaur and human tracks have been found in the same bedrock in Texas and Siberia.

Light for Your Path
Every year our family celebrates Hanukkah or the Feast of the Dedication. Jesus celebrated this feast as we can see in the book of John 10:22, “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.” Our children get so excited about this time of year, because we give them gifts and make ‘Potato Latkes’. We tell again the wonderful story of how our God miraculously kept the Temple candlestick lit for eight days with only one days supply of oil. We then go on to teach them how He came in human flesh as Jesus Christ. The Bible says in John chapter one that all things were made by Him. Verse Five says that the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not. The same chapter teaches that He was in the world and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
John the Revelator saw Jesus while he was exiled on the Isle of Patmos and described His countenance as the sun shineth in his strength and He said to John, “I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”, Revelation 1:18.
We can give gifts and fix traditional food, and it is such a good thing, but the greatest thing we can give our children is faith in Jesus Christ. No other gift has such lasting value. When we light our Menorah I am always reminded of the old Sunday School song verse we still sing , “This little light of mine. I’m going to let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”

Who is Jesus Christ?
If you were to ask most pastors, seminary graduates, people in the pew, ‘who is Jesus Christ’? Their answer would be ‘He is the Son of God’. That answer is true. If you were to ask them, ‘is Jesus God?’ They would probably hesitate as they say, ‘I don’t know.’ When I ask those I would meet, ‘Who is Jesus Christ?’ Most would respond, ‘He is the Son of God.’ Then I would ask, ‘Is Jesus God.’ They would give an excuse as to why they didn’t know who is Jesus Christ! Ask your pastor, priest, friend etc. ‘Who is Jesus Christ?’ Please let me know their answer.
The Holy Bible clearly tells us Jesus Christ is God!
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Matthew 1:23
“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” John 20:28
"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life." 1 John 5:20
"But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:" (Why is He coming in the likeness of men? Because, He's God!) Philippians 2:7
"And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, ... ." Philippians 2:8
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. {9} For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Colossians 2:8-9
"Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. {17} Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Timothy 1:16-17
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, ... ." 1 Timothy 3:16
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1
“Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.” John 5:18
"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. {9} Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." Hebrews 1:8-9

What is Your Title??????
Hello Friend,
In this day and age everyone wants a title. It seems few are content with the address of politeness such as Mr., Mrs. or Miss.
The Holy Bible does not address Paul as Apostle Paul, or Missionary Paul, Etc. A title is never used before any of the Apostles' names! Sure, Paul was an apostle, missionary, saint etc. Did he need a title before his name to give him self esteem or a sense of worth.
Christians seem to need a title. Why?
Here, pick out a title: (smile)

Light For Your Path
Psalm 30:11 "Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever."
Maybe for you, Thanksgiving time is not a time of rejoicing, but a time of remembering the joy once shared with a particular loved one. My mother died at Thanksgiving, and it was several years before I could consider it again a happy time. We don’t always understand our trials in life. Certain situations can make God appear cruel instead of loving. We can feel robbed instead of blessed or thankful. Please don’t give up. Hang onto faith like Job did.
Job was a good man in every way. He even got up in the mornings and offered sacrifices in case his family had cursed God in any way (Job 1:5). When his trial was the heaviest, his words were full of sorrow. His own wife had no words of comfort, and did not understand how he could maintain integrity. In Job 42:10, we see the Lord turning around Job’s situation when he prayed for his friends. Yes, God allowed Job to experience pain when He could have prevented it. Job held on to faith when he did not understand his trial and by doing so the Bible says in Job 42:12, “So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning”. How about praying that same scripture from Job 42:12 for your situation? Lord bless the remainder of my life more than the beginning.
May the Lord give “... you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that you might be called a tree of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified”, Isaiah 61:3.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Matthew 7:21-23
Hello Friends,
Jesus said:
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21 What does Jesus say you must do to enter into the kingdom of Heaven? You must do the will of your Father which is in heaven!
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” Matthew 7:22 You can do many great works for Jesus, but unless you are doing the works He tells you to do, you are not going to Heaven.
“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:23 Hell awaits for those who do holy works that are not directed by Jesus.
"And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:15 True pastors must feed knowledge and understanding to you. Their desire should be to enable you to arrive in heaven. No one left behind! The pastor must teach Jesus’ teachings from His Holy Bible. You must learn how to know and do Jesus’ will, moment by moment.

Acadian Lighthouse Church Services
Hello Friends,
The church service at Arcadian Lighthouse Church, where we pastor started at 10 am and ended at 4:00 pm this past Sunday. The church provides lunch; we break for about an hour. Then Jesus starts the meeting again. One man had demons cast out, another had his knee healed, etc. etc. Jesus is real!!!! He was truly in our mist.
"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them , and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." Mark 16:20 KJV
Are you tired of warming a pew? Come to really have church! Come to be used of Jesus! Come to learn what your spiritual gifts are and how to use them. There are 17 spiritual gifts.
"How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying." 1 Corinthians 14:26 KJV
This is not a one man show, with a man sitting on his throne in control of his subjects! Some pastors have eunuchs sitting beside him.
In our church meetings, Jesus is in control as the chief shepherd.
With Jesus Christ in control, the meetings are very exciting! One doesn't know what Jesus is going to do next!
Jesus is our Lord and God!

Today was Magnificant!
We drove to the city of Nazerath and what a city it is. It is huge. I always imagined the city where Jesus lived to be small and remote. Maybe it once was but not now. It has such a beautiful mountain view and a lot of shopping malls. I told Bruce I wonder about the Gospel witness there. It is a shame that in such a place there is so little of the original Apostolic message being preached. The enemy really has a strong hold there. Next we drove to the Mediteranian border to the city of Caesarea. We toured the ruins of the ancient sea port built by King Herod as a tribute to Augustus Caesar. Many years and wars have ruined the ancient site but the area has been built back up to be a nice residential and resort community. It was really worth the drive.
We had ice cream on the walk by the Sea not far from the place the Apostle Paul had to pled his case before the Governor before being sent to Rome. What a place of history this was. We then drove to Tel Aviv and rode around a bit before heading to the airport where I am typing this tonight. We have a lot to write about and tell our children when we see them. Jesus bless you
and have a great Feast of Tabernacles.

Walking where Jesus really Walked!
Hello Friends,
We were very excited yesterday walking in the exact synagogue where Jesus walked! Walking through the exact door Jesus walked through. Standing in front of the exact ark where Jesus and Paul would have stood to minister.
Yes, we were off the beaten tourist path. It wasn't even listed in the book on ancient synagogues.
Today, we plan on going to another synagogue where Jesus walked! Etc.
Ruins, here we come!!!!

Day Five Day Six Massada Dead Sea Engedi Qumran
We had a glorious time at the Massada site. We stayed at the Hostel at the foot of the Mountain.We certainly had to overcome our fear of heights riding the cable car that took us to the top.
King Herod built a huge fortress there. It was so awesome to climb to the Northern Palace. We were not looking down on the way up for sure. The view was amazing. You could look out over the Dead Sea to Jordan. The view from the Northern Palace was so beautiful there are not words to describe it. I have to include a picture so everyone can see it. We stayed at a beautiful hostel that had a balcony overlooking the Dead Sea.
The water in the Dead Sea is an aqua which is my favorite color. We watched as
people went to the beach there and floated on the water. It is very poisoneous and you are not to drink or get it in your eyes etc. People have died from it. So while it is beautiful it is deadly. The next place we ventured to was the beautiful oasis of Engedi.
We climbed up to the waterfalls to the one that is called David's Waterfall. There I sat while Bruce climbed a bit further. This was fresh water coming from a spring in the middle of the desert. It is hard to imagine until you see it how refreshing it is. In the Bible King David met up with Saul in a cave in Engedi. In the book of Song of Songs the Shulamite woman speaks of Engedi. We were there and I cannot tell you how it felt as there are not enough words and we do not have all day and night. To be in a land that is full of Bible history just boggles my finite mind.
Next we went to Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. I never thought while reading the books of the transcriptions that I would stand on that spot. It was completely the desert and you could look at the caves they were found in. There on that spot the Essenes built their worship areas. There were Seven Ritual Baths there. Imagine bathing in white cloth seven times for purification! Once is enough for me daily maybe twice if its been a hard day but seven times? The caves they lived in were so small. It was hard for me to imagine their lives to be anything but harsh yet they lived to try to please God. We are so blessed to live in the U.S.A but I wonder how blessed we really are. Things take us farther from Jesus.In Jesus,

Israel Day Four
we had a great time today! We finally found the house of Simon the Tanner by the Seaside in Old Yafo. We then walked all over the place going to the Antique Flea Market in Old Yafo and then to the Carmel Market. I don't know how many miles we put on our shoes but it has to be many.lol. We had so much fun in the Market. Bruce found some great buys on Kippas and even a Channukah Menorah. We bought a Kiddish Cup and Saucer. We also bought gifts for our children and a Shofar for a friend. I love the scarves these ladies wear and after today I will be sporting one. We went back to take pictures of the most beautiful Synagogue we have ever been in. Yesterday was Sabbath so we could not take pictures but today we were able to. The paint on the outside of the Temple even had gold flecks in it. It was totally beautiful. I told Bruce you can tell when a group of people love and respect the House of their God. It showed there. We bought some great fruit and cheese and fresh baked bread at the Market. For lunch we had huge sandwiches of Lamb and onions with Hummus and a spicy pepper sauce. It was great! I hope we get the same lunch tommorrow.lol. The only thing is we may not be able to be on the internet. We are driving down to Massada and The Dead Sea/Engedi experience. Engedi is mentioned in the scriptures. This is going to be a blast. I told Bruce I look forward to the good time we are going to have there. People float in the Dead Sea but the most famous story is the one of Lot's wife turning to a Pillar of Salt which they say is viewable still. I don't know if its the same Pillar of Salt but I am not wanting to know which one. I only know it really happened. To all our friends I say Shalom and have a great day! For us it is eight thirty pm and I am tuckered out. We are Seven hours ahead of the U.S. in time. This am was daylight savings time. We found out when we showed up for breakfast one hour too early.....go figure...I am for once on time and find out I have to wait. Oh the joys of being American!!!! Oh yes and we bought more Coca Cola!!! Every one loves it here!!!

Day Three
We were excited to finally find the Great Synagogue. We had walked right by it and missed it somehow. In doing so, we were directed to the most beautiful Synagogue we have ever seen.
The Rabbi was very hospitable and had been to New Orleans, Baton Rouge and even Jackson, Ms. There was a huge ornate depiciation of the Tree of Life and inside the Great Hall was
a huge gold depiciation of the Temple. The prayer benches were beautifully carved. Hopefully we will be able to go back today and take pictures as we were not allowed to do so on Shabbat.
We walked about but being Shabbat the streets were not busy. However, when the evening came and Shabbat was over people were everywhere shopping and dining out. We purchased dinner from a stand that made pizzas and bagels etc. Then we stopped at another stall and bought mango juice. We found a bench where we could dine and take in the atmosphere. There was a traffic circle that Bruce was sure he would never like to attempt. It was so full of cars. I am attaching a picture to give you an idea. What a place this is. Tommorrow, we go out to the Carmel Market, and this time hope to find it full of goods.

Day Two
We are having such a great time. We drove to Jaffa today and are staying at Beit Emmanuel Hostel. We parked the car and walked out into Old Yaffo. The sights and smells and sounds are incredible. The McDonalds called the hamburgers McRoyals.lol..Yes we found McDonalds again but still no cheese on the burgers. Ah the joys of being in Israel. We walked out into the area near the Mediteranian Sea. It was the best view ever. We walked the harbor and stood on the Wishing Bridge. No I didn't wish. It was way too wierd to think that people stand there and touch their horiscope signs and make a wish looking out into the Sea. People from all parts of the Middle East were there on Holiday as its Rosh Hashanna here which is the New Year. I am very thankful to be with Bruce who knows his way around fairly well. We saw people baking bread and pizza like bread in brick ovens in the walls. It smelled fantastic but unfortunately I ate at McDonalds. Cokes are super expensive here but I like coke so its out with the shekels anyway.
Tomorrow we are going to Simon the Tanner's house and the Great Synagogue. We are so excited to be alive and well and in Israel.
Jesus bless you!

In the Holy Lands
Hello Friends, Day ONE
Israel is a great country!
We are staying at a kubbutz in Merchavia. Today we saw the Sea of Galilee! We took pictures.
Driving a rental car and taking pictures. Our rental car is white with Budget written on both sides and on the back. As the last time I was in Israel, I feel like the signs mean Americans shoot HERE!
McDonald's is great, but they won't put cheese on our hamburgers.
The Orthodox Synagogue service was three and a half hours long! All in Hebrew! Dana sat in the backroom with the other women. Yes, the women know their place. Just kidding, Dana! You know I was just kidding, really!
The shofar blowing was fantastic!!!!!
The weather is cooler than Louisiana's, but it is not cooler by much.
A lot of people here don't speak any English. It is a good thing we were brushing-up on our Hebrew before leaving the States.

L'shana Tova Tikatevu
"L'shana tova" tikatevu means , "May you be inscribed for a good year." In Celebration of Rosh Hashanah Jewish people all over the world greet each other with this phrase.This is referring to the Book of Life. In Revelation Chapter 21 we find John describing the Holy City, the New Jerusalem.To me one of the greatest verses in that Chapter speaking of the Book of Life is
verse 27 which says, and there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Knowing that you belong to the Family of God is the greatest thing.
Rosh Hashanah is a time of repentance preparing for the Day of Atonement in Israel. We should be sure we are prepared to meet our maker and walk in the Heavenly Jerusalem.
We are very excited as we will be in Israel for Rosh Hashanah this year. We would ask that you all pray for us as we travel and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Great time in New Orleans
We were very blessed to spend time with friends in New Orleans, La.
Lewis and Dee Dee had us over for a great evening aboard the Natchez Steamboat for a dinner cruise. It was just a lovely evening relaxing and laughing. If anyone hasn't done this before its worth the trip over. They drove us around the city and showed us beautiful homes around Loyola University. It is such and amazing city with beautiful architecture. We met Lewis on one of our trips back from Nigeria. They are celebrating a new engagement so hopefully soon we will be posting some wedding pictures on our blog. Jesus knows how to bring hearts and minds together. We enjoyed a fantastic breakfast and Bible Study Sunday morning. It is so good to know Jesus. He does wonderful things for us. Dee Dee has two sons who are very successful of which she and Lewis are so proud of. We went over to visit them and had such a good time talking we could have continued on into the evening but then we headed over to Smitty's for Po-boys. Bruce enjoyed a po-boy for the first time. He had only had it once and did not like it. This time the place and the food met together for a winning combination. Thanks Lewis and Dee Dee for the hospitality and great weekend. Jesus bless you.

Happy Fourth of July
I can hardly believe its already the Fourth of July. The Summer months are going by so quickly. I am already getting ready for new school shoes for the children. Its amazing to see all that Jesus is doing in our lives. We are so excited. Yesterday we were house hunting with our new friend Lee Buroughs. We all prayed together that Jesus would give us the house He has in mind for us. We think we might have found just the house. Lee called the next day and was amazed at the huge house she found for the price.
We are praying that if this is Jesus' will that it will all happen quickly. Our children were so excited about having new bedrooms and a big back yard. I am happy about being able to rest a bit and concentrate on ministry more. Jesus told us through two Prophets that He was going to give us our own home. We are expecting Him to do just that.
Jesus is good and He is God. There is no real independance outside of the Church of Jesus Christ. We are all part of the Body of Christ though we live in many areas of the world. If we are dead to self and baptized into Him with the resurrection Spirit on the inside of us then we are alive in Him. You cannot separate who we are from who He is. That is how it should be. When people see us they should see the personification of Jesus Christ. Have a great weekend!

What a Great Weekend!
We had a great time last weekend with our friend Sister Terri in Alabama. The weather was superb! It was such a blessing to be out side playing guitar and singing. We met a man who is
a school teacher in Brewton, Alabama. He heard us singing as he was walking around the
neighborhood. We put a guitar in his hands and soon he was no stranger. People are out
there in the world and drawn by the anointing of Jesus Christ and what He has to offer.
Gulf Shores was beautiful. We did not see one drop of oil from the incident recently off the La coast evident there. Our children loved the waves and surfing!
We drove over to Pensacola, Fl on Sunday morning to hear a man who is famous in Baptist circles Dr. Ruckman. It was so different from any Baptist church service I have ever been to.
They were so excited about the Bible. If some of you who have the truth in salvation would get as excited about the Bible as this group is then you could win your world for Jesus Christ. Dr. Klein of course was in the book store as always and we came home with a great deal of material.
It is our prayer for you today that you reach many souls for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ!
Whatever you do in word or deed do all in the Name of Jesus!
Yours for truth,

On the Road!
Hello everyone! I have not blogged in some time. We have been so very busy for Jesus and raising a family.
Things are moving right along.We are headed for the great state of Florida and later to Alabama. I have a dear friend who serves Jesus that used to be a Country/Western Musician that plays a real mean guitar
I hope to get together with. The fiddles will be smoking....I am hoping....Hey who knows I may write a new song! Dr. Klein has been deep into working on his new book. I can't wait until it goes to press. We however will be busy traveling more after it does. I have a book called True Biblical Prayer that is going to press as well.
Those of you who want a deeper and more directed prayer life or want a deeper study on prayer get ready because you can learn and study and pray. The more Biblical we are the better we understand Jesus Christ.
Jesus bless you and whatever you do in word or deed follow the command to do all in the Name of Jesus!

Are We Really Apostolic?
Lately I have been pondering on these things. I want to truly be Apostolic. I am not
finger pointing because I feel we all have room to improve.
I am truly sick of the enemy getting the upper hand in the lives of the people of
the Name of Jesus. It is time that deliverance is preached in churches.If we are saying we
are Apostolic then the same things that occurred in the Bible ought to be happening in
our midst.
When is the last time you have seen someone having to run for the waste paper basket
in church because someone was getting deliverance?
Do we think that deliverance died with the old timers?
Brother Klein and I preached in one assembly and the remark was made,"Oh that is just like the old timers." One minister who trained in a church I helped at came to me and said," Sister Dana
you should have seen what happened when I visited the church in ______. There was a lady who came up and they started praying for her and stuff started coming up. I was the only one who even had a clue what was happening thanks to the ministry teaching me what to do."
He then ran for the waste basket and proceeded to help her get deliverance.
I think too many are directing people to self help programs rather than Holy Ghost
deliverance.
When the ministry tells someone that they need anti-depressants then you know
the message is perverted.
I cannot see any place where Jesus sent them to the psychiatrist. I also don't see where Paul or Peter or John did either.
Sure I believe that people can have so destroyed their bodies that after they receive the Holy Ghost and get deliverance that they may still need things to make the chemicals work correctly but the same Jesus can correct that as well. These people need then to be seeking healing. Can they find it in the altars of the Apostolic churches? If this is happening in your church
then please put out the word so the rest can come to a church that is claiming what its naming on the sign.
What is your crutch today? What is your excuse? Are you relying on deliverance from the Holy Ghost and replacing your thoughts with Bible thoughts or do you run to the clinic for methadone? Lets be honest. Either we are going to serve the true Jesus or we are going to
serve the weak and perverted version that religion is passing out.
Do you believe the Bible?
Lately I have gotten emails from Ladies who are honestly seeking deliverance and healing.
It so burdens me that they are not receiving all they could be receiving.
I pray that Jesus would deliver each one. Its a shame that in our day and age that more Apostolics are not practicing what the Bible preaches. We have become too complacent and
comfortable and wealthy. The world is going to hell and we are more worried about which
dress to wear to service. We want another building program because we feel that if we build it they will come. Well thats a facade. What will they come to? Will they come to another cistern or will they come to living water and never thirst again? Jesus help us all. We have got to have True Apostolic Ministry in operation among us. When you have to drive four hours to be in a service where the gifts operate or two hours to find a church that still believes in old fashioned Holy Ghost deliverance its a shame. I am tired of reading books by Verbal Bean and those who moved in Apostolic Holy Ghost power and then going to places that no more resemble this than the man in the moon. Most don't even have pre-service prayer any more. What is happening in the churches today? Its scary to me.
I pray that those who have the truth in salvation would move deeper into the realm of faith so that the Church of Jesus Christ can really claim title to the term Apostolic. Look at what the word says Jesus did. Are we really Apostolic?
Matthew 4:24
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
Matthew 7:22
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 8:16
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, and healed all that were sick:
Matthew 10:18
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Mark 1:32
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
Mark 1:34
And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
Mark 1:39
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
Mark 3:15
And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
Mark 6:13
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed [them].
Mark 9:38
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Mark 16:9
Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Mark 16:17
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Help us Jesus.

finger pointing because I feel we all have room to improve.
I am truly sick of the enemy getting the upper hand in the lives of the people of
the Name of Jesus. It is time that deliverance is preached in churches.If we are saying we
are Apostolic then the same things that occurred in the Bible ought to be happening in
our midst.
When is the last time you have seen someone having to run for the waste paper basket
in church because someone was getting deliverance?
Do we think that deliverance died with the old timers?
Brother Klein and I preached in one assembly and the remark was made,"Oh that is just like the old timers." One minister who trained in a church I helped at came to me and said," Sister Dana
you should have seen what happened when I visited the church in ______. There was a lady who came up and they started praying for her and stuff started coming up. I was the only one who even had a clue what was happening thanks to the ministry teaching me what to do."
He then ran for the waste basket and proceeded to help her get deliverance.
I think too many are directing people to self help programs rather than Holy Ghost
deliverance.
When the ministry tells someone that they need anti-depressants then you know
the message is perverted.
I cannot see any place where Jesus sent them to the psychiatrist. I also don't see where Paul or Peter or John did either.
Sure I believe that people can have so destroyed their bodies that after they receive the Holy Ghost and get deliverance that they may still need things to make the chemicals work correctly but the same Jesus can correct that as well. These people need then to be seeking healing. Can they find it in the altars of the Apostolic churches? If this is happening in your church
then please put out the word so the rest can come to a church that is claiming what its naming on the sign.
What is your crutch today? What is your excuse? Are you relying on deliverance from the Holy Ghost and replacing your thoughts with Bible thoughts or do you run to the clinic for methadone? Lets be honest. Either we are going to serve the true Jesus or we are going to
serve the weak and perverted version that religion is passing out.
Do you believe the Bible?
Lately I have gotten emails from Ladies who are honestly seeking deliverance and healing.
It so burdens me that they are not receiving all they could be receiving.
I pray that Jesus would deliver each one. Its a shame that in our day and age that more Apostolics are not practicing what the Bible preaches. We have become too complacent and
comfortable and wealthy. The world is going to hell and we are more worried about which
dress to wear to service. We want another building program because we feel that if we build it they will come. Well thats a facade. What will they come to? Will they come to another cistern or will they come to living water and never thirst again? Jesus help us all. We have got to have True Apostolic Ministry in operation among us. When you have to drive four hours to be in a service where the gifts operate or two hours to find a church that still believes in old fashioned Holy Ghost deliverance its a shame.

Who is a Member of a Local Church?
Hello Students,
Who is a member of a local church?
Are you a member because you warm a pew and give the required money?
What does the Holy Bible say?
"For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?" 1 Corinthians 12:14-17
A foot, an ear, an eye, and a nose all have a function.
If you attend a local church and don't have a function, are you really a member?
Sure the pastor expects you to attend and warm a pew and give money, but does he or she guide you into ministry?
Many Christians today are simply expected to do nothing else but to attend and give money! Every Christian has a ministry. Most don't have a ministry in the local church, and the pastor could care less! He is a one man show!
Many pastors only look at their congregation as their pay check or even their retire fund.
So, you need to belong to a local church where you have a function!
In Jesus,
Bruce

We Need to Hear Jesus !
Most standards I have heard preached are minimal. If we have a relationship with
Jesus we can hear his voice.
If we only rely on the preacher than we are in sad shape indeed.
Let me share just a few examples.
These are things we do without the preacher telling us.
We don't watch tv in our home because its mostly garbage. Even the news is tainted.
The newspaper is filled with depressing stuff. Read it and try to pick out positive things. You will have a problem with finding any. I read it and pray against junk that
is happening in our world.
I can choose where I surf on the net. Tv throws it in your
face and once you have seen the junk its hard to erase the image of it. Maybe you
are different than me and its not so hard for you.
I feel that gender is an issue so I stay away from styles that are manly.
I feel the society paints a picture of a woman that Jesus does not. I stay
away from what it expects me to be and try to personify what Jesus' word says.
The world's standard of modesty is way below the Bible standard of modesty.
I don't need someone to pound it into my mind. I can see that the Bible teaches
it and have enough Holy Ghost to know what to wear and what not to wear.
The problem I have with people who pound standards and try to define every little
line is that they go over board. Women are not born evil and out trying to
get every man to fall into sin. We are beautiful and intelligent and know our
Bibles. We are not Amish and do not need to look like an 1800 photograph.
We can read the word and know how to dress and behave. We are able to do
work in the Kingdom and fulfill the call of Jesus Christ and still be Biblical in
the way we dress and behave. We do not need to look like Grandmas at 20 years old
nor do we need to look like the cover of Cosmo. We have been given the same
Holy Ghost as the men in the church and we are not weak spirited. We pray and
fast and read the Word and are used by Jesus in our world. Great works
have been done by women who are submitted to Jesus.

Dana Klein

Do What You Love and Money Will Follow
I remember when the book came out entitled, "Do What You Love and Money Will Follow." It certainly is an overstatement. There are people doing exactly what they love in the world and are poor. I have always admired what Mother Theresa did in India. She fed and ministered to people who could not repay her. Though we may not be of the same beliefs I do admire the work she did. I did not see countless dollar bills following her. We met a man in Baton Rouge that is working among poor homeless people. He helps see to their physical needs and provides meals to them. On Sundays they have a church service out of doors. If it rains they go under an overpass. I did not see money by the oodles following him. The Word of Jesus does however provide something better than money.
It says this in Psalms 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
If you do what you love who knows money may follow you. I would however encourage you to follow Jesus. If you follow His ways goodness and mercy will follow you. I would rather follow a sure thing than follow a fad.
We need to follow Jesus in all His ways including the following:
Psalms 101:5
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
I am so amazed that people will go to church and shout all over the place and speak in other tongues and maybe even during the meeting someone will get behind the pulpit and speak things that just have no factual base. We need to watch that as Ananias and Sapphira were put into their early graves that we too do not face such a plight. We cannot preach that Jesus is the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob then live like there is no punishment for sin. Gossip and slander are sin and will keep you out of heaven. Jesus loves unity among Brothers and Sisters. His word also tells us to love our neighbors. We want an Apostolic move of the Holy Ghost in our midst and our churches but are we being honest? If we have one there may be many more head stones in the graveyards. I wonder if we are really discerning the "Body of Jesus Christ?" Are we recognizing that when we are fighting the work of the Church of Jesus Christ that we are fighting against Jesus? Maybe it comes down to the fact that we don't recognize where the church really is. Do we realize that the temple of the Holy Ghost(Who is the Holy Ghost Apostolic believers?) resides in our Brother and Sister? We preach it but do we practice it?
Just some thoughts today.

Pakistan needs Gospel Workers!
Would you like to go to Pakistan and preach the Gospel? Would you like to sponser someone else to go? Jesus wants you to send workers into the harvest. I communicated with a lady today who is a singer and is trying to reach her country. Her name is Sister
Violet. I would love to go to her and share all that I have been blessed to learn and minister in Pakistan. How about you? If you know this One God Apostolic Jesus Name
truth then how about sharing what you know with someone who would appreciate it?
I have here a link to tracts in Violets language. All that is missing is a hand to reach
out to hers and place them in it. How about you? They are having crusades coming up.
I would love to go and love to take others. Pray about it and contact us if you have
a desire for Pakistan.

Jesus is the Great Encourager!
Last night we were out celebrating my new degree. I learned earlier in the day that Missionary Don Wall just came out of surgery. While on the way we were in contact
with Pastor Jose Rodriguez in McAllen, Texas. I was telling him about the service
Brother Klein and I had in Zachary, La the previous Sunday. People we met while out
and about in the city were in attendance.
I hung up the phone and this really nice lady
approached the table. She said," I want to thank you personally for moving to our area and working for Jesus." She just did not know how miraculous that statement was.
We have felt for some time that we need to be doing a work for Jesus on American soil. That just encouraged me so much. The Nigerians love us. The Mexicans love us.
Many other nations love us and we so much love them. Now we can train people to send to them. That is our heartbeat.
In our home time until recently we had been fellow shipping at New Life UPC in St.Francisville, La and teaching Greek for Brother Clark and Sister Bobby Clark.
They are a great couple and really blessed us when we went on our Nigerian trip.
We love them dearly and value their friendship. Brother Klein went to Pastor
Clark and told him we felt to start a new church work. We did not know exactly where at the time but were praying about it. One of the Brothers in the church offered us his office building to teach Bible. That will not be for very long because people are coming up to us as this lady did and talking about Jesus. We are asking that you pray for us that we will find a bigger space where we can worship with a bit more leg room.
Thank you Brother and Sister Mock for giving us freely space to teach the Bible. You
are great people.
We want to be teaching and preaching full time. Our world is full of lost people who need Jesus and people who need to be trained to work in their ministries. We cannot continue to ignore the cry of the Spirit.
Jesus is God and there is no other. Gratefully we know we are in the will of Jesus.
Blessings to you and your family in Jesus Name,

Biblical 'Rapture', YES!
Hello Friends,
Dana and I believe in a Rapture.
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
'Rapture' is a Latin word for the English words 'caught up', so in the Old Latin Bible the word 'rapture' is found. The word 'rapture' is in a Bible.
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:52

Women in Ministry
I would like to invite all the ladies out there who are involved in Ministry
to come to a for ladies only forum to discuss ministry issues. If you have always felt a call or recently felt one you are invited as well. I am going to reformat it so it includes an open topic area. I just haven't done that yet. There are about three hundred members so far.I would appreciate suggestions and also some of you who have been in ministry for a while to go into and mentor other. Women are fantastic ministers and do so much for Jesus.The world in years past has not always been opened for women to minister with freedom but that is changing and Jesus is using women in a big way to reach the globe for Him. Thank you Jesus.

Respect for the things of Jesus
I have been telling my husband lately that I have such a burden for Spirit filled people.
I grew up being taught a great respect for the things of Jesus. I have heard people voice
the words," Oh, its just a building or its just a book." I beg to differ. Its not just any building.
Its the place where the Saints of the Most High God meet for services. Its the book that
contains the message of Eternal Life. I grew up watching the minister walk in the building carrying the Bible high above his head and placing it on a pedestal in the sanctuary. Now I see people throwing their Bibles on the floor or not even caring how they treat it. This grieves me so much.
If the Apostle Paul were to walk into our home today I would be so honored. I would want to give him the best chair to sit in. I would want him to stay for dinner and dine with our family. I would not tell him that I feel we are all his equal and that I am just as important as he is in the church.
If the Apostle Peter came to our doo
I would usher him in and and treat him with up most respect and regard. I would also treat him as I mentioned the Apostle Paul. If Jesus Christ were
at the door how would we treat Him? Yet His word says that when two or more are gathered in my name behold I am in the midst. How then can we act so disrespectfully in church and
toward each other?
I love what this scripture says,"

I love what this scripture says,"
| Phl 2:3 | | [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. We need to look upon the things of Jesus, the ministry of Jesus, those appointed by Him to do His work in the earth in a different way than we look at the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. Sure they are all important in the earth but you cannot live forever by partaking of their goods. Jesus has the words of eternal life. His ministers bring it to the world if they are following His will. That is very important work. We cannot forget that the same Spirit that was present in the Tabernacle of Moses and the Temple of Solomon is Jesus. If we truly believe and teach the same then we should respect the fact that if He is a Holy God and what He does is Holy. I hope today as someone is reading this that they understand who Jesus is.
