ONLY GOD CAN MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Something has gone desperately wrong in America! By outward appearances America looks, to many, as being healthy, educated, thriving and prosperous. Under the leadership of President Donald Trump our economy is recovering. Our technology is advancing. Our exports are increasing.

But inwardly, the soul of America is dying. Our country is suffering from acute heart failure. Our pulse for God is weakening. Our arteries of Christian faith are blocked. We need emergency open-heart surgery. A spiritual bypass. Better yet, we need a new heart.

At the deepest level, our national problems are spiritual. Not economic. Not medical. Not educational. We need more than legislative or social change. These are fine and good, but they don’t go far enough. We need a spiritual change of heart. Only spiritual solutions can solve our deepest problems. The true change must come from within. A change from the inside out. A change of heart.

So, who can bring such a spiritual change? Who can change our country’s heart and soul? When answer lies with the church of Jesus Christ. The only hope for spiritual change in America is found with God’s people. God’s church is the agent of change in any culture, His instrument of transforming a nation. But, like the world around us, the soul of the American church is dying. Our pulse for God is weakening. Our arteries of faith have become blocked. We need a spiritual bypass!

If we are to have revival in America it must begin in the church. America’s crisis will be solved only when revival catches fire in the church and spreads across the land.

Time is short. The end of this age approaches. Christ’s coming is soon. In fact, Christ is already in the process of coming. The Bible says, “Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. Even so, Amen (Revelation 1:17). That doesn’t say He’s ‘getting ready’ to come. That says He is ‘ready’ to come! We must answer His call to wake up!

The sleeping church must wake up and answer the Lord’s call to arms! She must jump to her feet and prepare for the battle at hand! The hour is late! The night is dark! The times are desperate! It’s time for the slumbering church to wake up!

God’s work on earth is accomplished primarily through His churches. God longs to revival His churches, who, in turn, will be His light and salt in the world. When the church becomes vibrant in its faith, then – and only then – will its spiritual influence be felt in the nation.

America can be no stronger than the spiritual life of our churches. The Bible says, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people (Proverbs 14:34). The greatness in any nation lies in her righteousness. And a nations righteousness is dependent on the spiritual life of her churches.

When our nation was very young, the famous French political philosopher, Alexis de Tocqueville visited America. His mission was to learn what quality enabled a handful of people to defeat the British Empire. Here was his discovery:

I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in the fertile fields and the boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America, and her her pulpits aflame with righteousness, did I understand the secrets of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.

America is in grave danger of loosing her goodness, and with it, loosing her greatness. The only way we can Make America Great Again is for America to turn to God again. The only way America will turn to God again is for the church to rise up and be the church again!

As we progress into a post-Christian America, never before have we so desperately needed the church to be the church. The hope of America lies not in the White House, nor with Wall Street, but with the church of Jesus Christ. It is time for the church of Jesus Christ to wake up! We’ve heard from the experts. The politicians. The media. The church consultants. Now, it’s time to hear from Jesus Christ Himself. You know the times in which we are living. It’s time for you to wake up. Our salvation is nearer now than when we first became believers. (Romans 13:11)

PRAY FOR OUR CUBA CRUSADE AND BIBLE DISTRIBUTION OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 4

As Cuba has transitioned to a new relationship with the United States, Americans have a renewed interest in learning how the church there has fared for the last 50 plus years. The short answer is: amazingly well. In fact, the hardships and suffering have paved the way for a heightened hunger for Holy Ghost revival and Bible distribution.

Revival Fires has been given permission from the Cuban Religious Affairs to give ONE MILLION BIBLES away to the Cuban people. We have already given 25,000 of them away. We will be in Cuba October 30 through November 4 giving away another 5000. We are giving these full Bibles to people who have never had a Bible! What a heart warming sight to witness men, women, teenagers, boys and girls weeping as they receive their very first Bible.

We now also have the Truth for Youth (TFY) Bible printed in Cuban Spanish. We will be having meetings with the Cuban Council of Churches president while we are there, in preparation to give 1.4 million TFY to the teenagers in Cuba!

Please prayerfully consider helping us provide the 5000 Bibles we will be delivering this upcoming crusade. The Bibles cost our ministry only $5 each for a total of $25,000. If you have already given, thank you! If you would like to help, CLICK HERE.

PRAY FOR OUR BIBLE DISTRIBUTION TO OUR 4000 ADDITIONAL U.S. TROOPS BEING DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN

In an attempt to break a stalemate in a war that has passed to a third president, the move will be the largest deployment of US manpower under President Trump. The Pentagon will send 4,000 additional American forces to Afghanistan.

Revival Fires has made it a top priority to provide a Bible for all of these soldiers defending America in the war on terror. The Bibles are sent directly to the chaplains and they distribute them personally to the soldiers.

The Bibles have been printed but will not be sent until they are paid for. They cost only $4 each and come packaged 25 to a case. If our soldiers are willing to fight for America’s freedom on foreign soil we need to be sure they each one have a Bible. Please pray about helping us with this vitally important need. If the Lord lays on your heart to give to help us provide these Bibles, CLICK HERE.

ARE WE STILL ONE NATION UNDER GOD?

In June of 1995 Tim delivered in excess of one million signatures, for “Voluntary school prayer and Bible reading,” to the U.S. Congress commanding the attention of then, U.S. House Speaker, Newt Gingrich and other high ranking government officials. Tim continues to be used on a national level to restore religious freedoms to America.

In the United States we claim to believe in God and in fact proclaim our trust in Him on every piece of our coins and currency. Many of our laws are based on the Ten Commandments, and even in the crown molding that adorns the principal chamber of the U.S. Supreme Court, Moses and the tablets containing the Ten Commandments are depicted. Yet we take great pains to delete references to God and the Bible from all public spaces, especially our public schools and municipal buildings. We seem to be having a difficult time determining  whether we actually believe in God or whether it is something that we have gotten used to saying in a pro forma manner without actually thinking about our words.

Did you know that the words, UNDER GOD, were not actually in the original version of the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag? They were added later to make people aware of the importance of God in every aspect of our lives. I’ll be the first to admit that the acknowledgement of God in virtually everything we do does not show a great deal of respect for atheist and others who do not have traditional views of God, but as the Bible says, you cannot serve both God and man. This doesn’t mean we should try to force others to believe what we believe. However, it does mean that we have to make a conscious choice as to what we believe and form our societal values surrounding those choices.

Who says what is right and what is wrong? For a nation to be united, the majority of its people have to agree on the answers to these questions, or at least agree that there are answers to be found. For years, the majority of American’s have turned to a belief in God and the Bible for answers. From the creation story to the Ten Commandments to the Gospels to the Epistles, the Bible provided an explanation for the meaning of life and instructed us in moral principles. We held to a Christian standard while respecting the beliefs of those who didn’t share them, and that standard saved us from confusion. Today, fewer people believe in the Word of God, or even in absolute truth, and our rejection of an objective moral standard has thrown our nation into disorganization. If we really believe in God, a lot of the “moral gray” issues become black and white.

The devil is determined to destroy a generation of young people in America by distorting their view of moral absolutes. This is why the distribution of the Truth for Youth Bible to young people is a priority for the ministry that God has call me to. As most of you know, the Truth for Youth consists of the entire New Testament along with powerful comic stories that deal with the truth about issues of moral concern.

For example, the theory of evolution is a form of religion. In this belief system only the strong survive and there are no moral implications connected to the actions necessary to survive and be productive. It is actually harder for an evolutionist to describe the basis of morality than it would be for a creationist.

With regard to abortion, according to God’s Word, life begins at conception, not at time of delivery. In Psalm 139:13-16 God new the writer of these verses while he was still unformed. God knew Jeremiah before he was born and had a special destiny for his life, Jeremiah 1:4-5. I hear people say, “A woman should have the right to choose.” Hear me, no woman should have the right to choose to murder a child in her womb!

Many people don’t understand why Christians object so strongly to homosexuality, but the Bible is clear about this. Leviticus 20:13 says, “If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.”

We are reminded of God’s Urban Renewal Program that He carried out in Sodom and Gomorrah as He said in Jude 7, “And don’t forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with sexual immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and are a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgement.”

Furthermore, in Ephesians 5:31-32, Paul wrote, “As the scriptures say, ‘A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife and the two are united into one.’ This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.”

God loves the homosexual but He hates the sin of homosexuality! He loves everyone regardless of their behavior. Jesus died to pay the price for their sins too. This doesn’t mean that we have to accept man-imposed changes to God’s Word. We all make choices in life. With regard to homosexuality, one can choose God’s Word or the homosexual lifestyle agenda. Standing up for traditional marriage and family does not make you a homophobe!!!

By no means does choosing God mean that we need to be unkind to non-Christians. It is in opposition to the American way to try to shove our beliefs down someone’s throat. On the same token, it is absolutely unreasonable for atheists to try to make Christians be quiet! The persistent attempts by some atheists to have the words UNDER GOD removed from our pledge or the phrase IN GOD WE TRUST removed from our money is wearisome. America was built on a foundation where religious freedom and freedom of worship are guaranteed.

America has had many manifestations of God’s mercy and favor throughout history. In August of 1776, General George Washington and eight thousand soldiers were trapped on Long Island with British General Howe getting ready to defeat them the next morning. The island was surrounded by the British armada. Desperately, Washington drafted every sea worthy vessel available, from fishing boats to rowboats, in an attempt to ferry his army across the East River all through the night. At the break of dawn, many of his soldiers were still in eminent danger by their exposure to the huge British fleet. However, most curiously, theft that usually would rise from the water once the sun came up, didn’t budge. It remained dark long enough for all of Washington’s men to escape to safety. This had been the British’s most opportune time to secure a win over the U.S. Army.

Major Ben Tallmadge, Washington’s chief of intelligence, wrote these words, “As the dawn of the next day approached, this of us who remained in the trenches became very anxious for our own safety, and when the dawn appeared there were several regiments still on duty. At this time a very dense fog began to rise (out of the ground and off the river), and it seemed to settle in a peculiar manner over both encampments. I recollect this peculiar providential occurrence perfectly well, and so very dense was the atmosphere that I could scarcely discern a man at six yards distance…we tarried until the sun had risen, but the fog remained as dense as ever.”

Very similar to the children of Israel in the Word of God, America has moved away from our strong belief in God and many people don’t even know what they believe anymore. Church attendance is steadily declining, especially among the younger generation; traditional families made up of one man and one woman, and their children, are quickly becoming extinct; and the things that God says is wrong are being embraced. Throughout history, once a country begins this path of a lack of identity and vision for the future, it is devastated, or crumbles from the inside out, losing most or all of its relevance to the rest of the globe.

Even though it looks as though America is headed for total destruction, it is possible for we, God’s people, to turn this around. Let’s remember who we are and unite around the only hope for our nation. God said, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

GOD IS SENDING REVIVAL

It has been promised and God cannot lie! In Ezekiel 36 it says that the world is going to watch in amazement as God revives His bride to be. We are witnessing this in our revival services as we travel across America and around the world. It is His work, not ours, and the world KNOWS it is God’s hand and God gets all the glory! God promised in Ezekiel 36:33 to restore us to our first glory, as in the, book of Acts, and the transformation will be like changing a desolate place into the Garden of Eden.

Click the photo to help us provide Bibles for the people in the Communist country of Cuba.

Church it is time to WAKE UP and step into the fullness of what God desires to accomplish. God weeps over the complacency of the church. We go out of our way to explain why we are constantly willfully sinning, knowing even before we sin that we will simply confess it again for forgiveness, even though the Word plainly tells us that if we do this, there remains no more sacrifice for sin, but a fearful looking for judgment.

Brokenness is the first step. He who loves his life will lose it. It is no longer our life, but His. We must see that to truly walk the Christian walk, it is a radical giving of ourselves to do his will on earth, not our will. No longer can we preach a Christianity that costs nothing. Count the cost. Jesus said, it will cost you your life to follow him. He who loves his life will lose it, but he who loses His life for my sake will find it unto eternal life.

We are witnessing the miracle of the church being restored with power, unity, joy, love, and above all the manifest presence of the Lord. The world is looking on and marveling like they did in the book of Acts. The world will be drawn to us or they will stay out of our way. Let’s cast the net and bring those that God is drawing by His Spirit, to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Please pray for the upcoming revival services and upcoming crusades God has assigned us to!

FATHER’S DAY MESSAGE: A FRIEND AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR

The story of the friend at midnight is one of many stories that only emerge in the book of Luke. The prodigal son and the Good Samaritan are two others exclusive to Luke’s gospel. Before the parable comes the Lord’s Prayer, which highlights Jesus’ close, prayerful intimacy with God intended as Father. After the story comes an appeal to persevere in fervent prayer to God.

Several years ago I had just finished a revival in Birmingham, AL. Exhausted I went to bed in my motel room. I woke up at midnight to a repeated loud knock at the door. I looked through the peep hole and didn’t recognize the individual standing there. I yelled out, “How can I help you?” He responded, “I’m having car trouble and need help.” Suspicious, I called the police and they had a patrol car that was already in the immediate area, pull into the parking lot while I was still conversing with the individual. I watched through the window as they handcuffed and arrested him.

A police officer on the scene informed me that they had been looking for this individual. He had committed an armed robbery 2 days before and was on the run. The night before, he had gone to someone else’s motel room at about midnight and was able to make his way into the persons room, murder them, then used their room to get cleaned up. Thank God I didn’t open the door when he came to my room! He was certainly there to harm me.

There is no way you could have gotten away with not answering the door in a first century Palestinian small town. You wouldn’t complain and try to get out of giving bread to the friend at midnight standing at your door, either. Everyone in the small town baked their bread at the village oven. They all know who has fresh bread. He’s the one. The tradition is that you serve fresh bread to visiting family and friends. In addition, the houses were so close in proximity that when the needy friend stands on your doorstep pounding on your door at midnight, everybody up and down the street knows they’re there and that you’re not getting out of bed to help them. To complain like this would bring embarrassment on your family and community. And nobody in that town more than 2,000 years ago would want to be the one to damage its credibility for gracious hospitality to travelers with their complaining.

This month we celebrate Father’s Day. It is a day when we stand on our father’s doorstep and express to him our gratitude. How do you thank a good father? With a card and an invitation to lunch. With a cordless drill, a  grill, or a neck tie? Those are the three most popular Father’s Day gifts this year.

My dad, Cecil Todd, is not a tall man and he has white hair, a great sense of humor and a great love for his children. He has always been very good with us kids in potentially stressful situations. When I was in second grade, late for the school bus, I broke the window pane rushing out the front door. A long piece of sharp glass stuck into my wrist and bent over side ways and just hung there. My dad very calmly came to my rescue, pulled the glass out and pressed down on the bloody wound with his white handkerchief. Dad has always been a good father.

I’m not a perfect father but I recognize a good father when I see one. A good father, in terms of our parable, is someone you can count on to come to the door and offer you nourishment when you show up on his doorstep. A good father in this story offers you an egg or a fish, not a snake or a scorpion. A good father is someone who, though he has caller i.d., still answers the phone and offers you encouragement.

A good father, in Luke’s view, is one who doesn’t just wait inside the manor house for you to come crawling back home, but who, throwing dignity to the wind, runs down the path to meet you with tears on his face. A good father, in Luke’s view, is one who comes out to where you’re lying in the ditch, beaten up by life, and picks you up, binds your wounds, and loves you into healing. Maybe you’ve never known a father like that. Maybe you have.

I heard a story of a woman who worked in a drug and alcohol rehab center. She described her work like this: “We have all our incoming residents fill out a questionnaire when they are admitted. One of the questions is ‘Describe your home life growing up in a brief paragraph.’ Ninety percent of them start with these words: ‘I was raised in a good Christian home.” She said, “It’s enough to turn you against a good Christian home.”

Jesus began his prayer, “Father,” not because he wanted people to equate God with their human fathers. God knows and we know human parents can hurt as well as heal. Jesus prayed “Our Father” realizing that God’s identity and purposes exceed our ability to understand or articulate them. But he also knew that we human beings, with our limited knowledge, need to make comparisons between God and what we know. We know about family relationships, at least what they could be. The prophet Isaiah portrays God as a mother, picking up her young and carrying them when they are tired. Jesus himself depicts God as a mother hen shielding her people under her wings.

When Jesus prayed what we call The Lord’s Prayer, he was remembering a daily prayer he had heard prayed in the synagogue called the Kaddish, a prayer of thanksgiving and praise to God. “Exalted and hallowed be his great name in the world which he created according to his will…May he let his kingdom rule in your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the whole house of Israel, speedily and soon.” Jesus’ prayer was a simpler, more direct, personal version of this same prayer.

Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins.” This prayer addresses a Father God who is honorable (hallowed be your name) who is accessible (your kingdom come) who is dependable (give us this day our daily bread) and who is merciful Father God (forgive us our sins). This is the Father God to whom Jesus prayed and taught us to pray.

Actor Burt Reynolds tells about his dad in an interview with Barbara Walters years ago. His dad was a sheriff in a small town in the South, loved by everyone, but strict with his son. Burt respected and feared him, but yearned for some sign of tenderness or approval. Burt said, “Our family lived by two simple rules: “No crying. No hugging.” He went on, “There is a saying in the South that ‘no man is a man until his father tells him he is,’ and I hadn’t yet gotten that message from my father. I kept hoping someday I’d hear it.”

In the meantime, his hopes of being a professional football player were destroyed by an injury and his hopes of being an actor were growing dim. They told him he looked like Marlon Brando, but that he didn’t have any talent. A few small acting parts in his twenties left him, at age 32, the best-known unknown actor in Hollywood.

Then his marriage to Judy Carne hit the rocks. This would be the first divorce in his family. He remembers staring at the phone, knowing he had to call home and break the news, but afraid that his dad would come to the phone instead of his mother. Yet, wanting more than anything to hear his father’s voice — standing there, staring at the phone, not able to make himself make the call.

When people called on Jesus – who did they meet when he opened the door? Who did they hear on the other end of the line?

To his disciples, panicking in a storm at sea, “Help us, we are perishing in this high gale! (Luke 8:22)

To Jairus, a leader in the synagogue who fell at Jesus’ feet, “My l2 year old daughter is at the point of death (Luke 8:40)

To a woman who fell at Jesus’ feet and begged for mercy “I have suffered from a flow of blood for 12 years.” (Luke 8:47)

To a leper, who had suffered physical pain and social isolation for years, fell at Jesus’ feet and asked, “Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean!” (Luke 5:12)

Then Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him and said, “I do choose. Be made clean!”

When they called upon him, knocked on his door, they were met by a person who had bread to give and who gave it gladly. How? Because he prayed. Early in the morning in a quiet place, late in the evening alone in the mountains, in a garden while the footsteps of your betrayers approached and your closest friends on earth lay sleeping. He prayed.

And he gives us this advice about prayer in our lives. Ask and it will be given to you. Search and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives and everyone who searches finds and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

How did he know that? He knew because his tradition from Scripture and synagogue told him that God will pour out blessings on the one who asks and seeks and knocks. (Deut 4:29; Is 55:6; 65:1; Je 29:13-14; Pr 8:17) But how did he know that? He knew from a lifetime of praying to a God who is honorable, accessible, dependable, and merciful.

After staring at the at telephone on the table, dreading calling home to tell the news of his pending divorce, Burt Reynolds says he finally picked up the phone, dialed his parents’ number with shaking hands, and, thank God, got his mother on the phone. “Mom, Judy and I are getting a divorce. No, it’s final. Mom, tell him I’m sorry. Tell him I’ve failed again, and that I’m sorry.” Then,” he says, I heard this other voice on the phone. “Why don’t you come on home, son,” my father said, “and let me tell you about all the times I’ve failed in my life?”

Suppose you woke up to a repeated knock at the door. Without thinking, you went to the door and opened it. And suppose God was standing on your porch. You chew on your lower lip and ask nervously “How can I help you?” God quirked an eyebrow and said. “It’s the other way around, or have you already forgotten what you said to me last night? I was listening. I certainly wasn’t sleeping. And I distinctly remember,” says God, “that at approximately 12:01 this morning, as you lay in your bed with anxious thoughts rattling around in your head, you called out to me.” God continues, “I clearly remember what you said next. You said, ‘Lord, You are calling me to be a friend at midnight to others. Come to me now, be my friend at midnight. I need some bread.’” “Why do you look so surprised to see me? Did you think I wouldn’t come to the door? Well, here I am, as promised. I’m certainly not here to harm you. I’m here to help you. Are you going to let me in?”

OUR SAVIOR HAD AN EARTHLY MOTHER TOO!

 

OUR SAVIOR HAD AN EARTHLY MOTHER TOO!

BY: DR. TIM TODD 

“I honor my precious mom, Barbara Todd, this Mother’s Day and every day! I love you mom! Happy Mother’s Day!” Your son, Tim.

As we are in the season of celebrating Mother’s Day I’m reminded of the song: “Mary Did You Know”, written about a MOM holding her baby son in her arms and dreaming about the future, soaking in that brief moment in time, realizing how incredibly awesome her role of being a good MOM is going to be in the life of her child.

Now true, this particular family situation with Jesus’ mother Mary, was a little unique, being a virgin and giving birth to a child always makes you more than a little unusual. However, doesn’t this tell us something of how important God sees the family? The fact that God the Father chose for His eternal Son to be born into an earthly family with a mother and a father instead of being born into some monastery somewhere in the mountains.

No, the fact that Jesus had a MOTHER too, tells us how important the role of MOTHER is in the development and life of every child.

And when it comes to the celebration of Mother’s Day, if you think about it, it really involves 2 parties…. It involves:

1) MOMS— A day for you and your role to be honored and celebrated, because being a MOM is no light thing! It’s a major thing to be a MOM and moms everywhere need to be affirmed in this important role. They need to recognize the awesome responsibility of rising up to the challenge of being a MOM.

But—the celebration of Mother’s Day—also involves another party:
2) ALL CHILDREN— A day for us to honor and celebrate not only our moms, but also this honored role of motherhood, I want to address each of these groups.

All children: God teaches us in one of the 10 commandments that we are to, “honor our father and mother…” But what does it mean “to honor…”, (literally) “to honor” means to show respect or esteem. Now, as a child myself, I discovered that  the application of this changes as we grow older.

Let me expound on that….
There is a difference in how we are to honor our moms when we are young, and when we are older. The young: (young children…growing up living in the home).

The Bible teaches that  one of the best ways to honor your mom (at this age) is to embrace the attitude of obedience.

God says in Ephesians 6:1, ”Children obey your parents…” (notice the wording here is not optional), it’s the right thing to do!

I’m reminded of 2 boys on their way to school and talking about their families. One boy said, “I’ve figured out a system for getting along with my MOM. It’s very simple. She tells me what to do….AND I DO IT!!!”
What a concept!!!

Now here’s the important thing to understand about this…There comes a time in a child’s life when they grow into adulthood and are no longer commanded by God to obey their parents.

The command still holds that we are to honor our parents, but remember “to honor” means to “show respect and esteem”, it doesn’t mean to obey. And wise moms (and dads) will make sure their children are released with their blessing into adulthood.

My brothers, sisters, and I, have been privileged to bless our wonderful mom, Barbara Todd, with our love for her in every possible way.

And so, for the older children…. (adult age), one of the best ways to honor your mom is to honor God with your life in your actions toward her.

CUBA CRUSADE AND BIBLE DISTRIBUTION DELAYED

Our April 17-25 Cuba Crusade and Bible distribution has been delayed to July. The Cuban government delayed the issuing of our Religious Visas and we had no choice but to delay the trip. On the surface this was very disappointing, however, we recognize that God is sovereign! He is in control! We know that God’s timing is always the best timing. What the devil has meant for bad we know that God will use for good. As we prepare for going to Cuba in July we plan to give away MORE Bibles and win MORE Cuban people to Jesus! Please be praying with us as we accommodate changing the dates.

REVIVAL FIRES ARE BURNING ACROSS AMERICA

AND AROUND THE WORLD

Jesus instructed, “Go…and make disciples of all nations” (Matt 28:19). There is no alternate plan in case the Gospel fails because IT WON’T! More people are being saved, healed and baptized into the Holy Spirit today than ever before in man’s history. The tempo is increasing, leading to but one conclusion: JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON!!!

We are not called to go into a battle with the outcome yet to be decided. The battle was won at Calvary. Jesus commanded the disciples: “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers” (Matt 9:38), and added, “Go!” He still says it. It is a transferred mandate.

Holy Ghost Revival Fire comes from God, yes, but when? When we repent of our plain disobedience and return to the basic task…WINNING THE LOST!!! Every single church activity should relate to turning the world back to God. Why are we waiting? RESCUE THE PERISHING…or we will need rescuing ourselves!

Thank you so much for praying for our revival services as we continue to witness a tremendous amount of people giving their hearts to Christ!

PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR UPCOMING CUBA FOR JESUS CRUSADE APRIL 17-25

 

PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR UPCOMING CUBA FOR JESUS CRUSADE APRIL 17-25

Dr. Tim Todd, his dad, Dr. Cecil Todd, and his brother, Pastor Cecil Todd- Praying, Planning & Preparing for Evangelistic Crusade and Bible distribution in Cuba.

Take a Friday night walk through Havana’s Parque G to see up close how much Cuba needs Christ. By day, the downtown park offers a pleasant stroll along a wide, tree-lined boulevard down to the gulf coastline. By night, Parque G becomes a murky zone where Cuban teens, dressed somewhere between hipsters and goths, cluster to smoke, drink, and exchange drugs. Young couples hide in the shadows of bushes as musicians hold jam sessions under street lamps.

But in dramatic contrast to the surrounding activity, at 1 a.m. 25 young Cuban Christians form a circle to pray. Holding hands, they shout forceful prayers toward Heaven for the salvation of the Cuban people. Across the intersection, a uniformed police squad watches with interest, but does nothing to stop their outreach.

The youth are Christians from a strong evangelical Cuban church based in the heart of the inner-city of Havana. Most of the youth are new believers and have been delivered from drugs and alcohol thanks to someone who cared enough to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their neighborhood.

Too many churches live their faith inside their walls, when the church needs to be in the street. While we are in Havana in April we will be conducting evangelistic crusades, stealing souls from the devil!

Speaking enthusiastically with visiting Christians, the Cuban teens point to each other along the organic human chain of who brought who to faith in Christ. Their evangelism style is direct—”Hi, I’m a Christian, and I’d like to tell you about Jesus”—and brings results. The Christian young people in Cuba are on fire for God and the church is growing rapidly! We plan to arm these young people with the weapon of the Word of God, the brand new, Cuban Spanish Truth for Youth Bible!

The Christian youth in Cuba show no fear of arrest. The truth is, Havana police will tell you that they need help in confronting the recent wave of street drug abuse. As a former drug addict myself, I know that if these on fire for God young people in Cuba were not afraid when they were doing drugs in Parque G, why would they be afraid now that they have the truth?

The edgy street evangelism in Cuba’s capital reveals that Western perceptions about Cuban Christianity seem woefully outdated.
In one of our services at Pastor Juan Carlos’ church in Cielo DE Avila he offered an arresting example of believer multiplication. In the hours before and after the service, a multiracial mix of youth arrived in waves as public buses pass by, and eventually they packed the sanctuary. The charismatic pastor frequently towels off his head as he proclaims “si se puede” (“yes, it can be done”) power of the gospel to change lives.

In Cuba the church is alive, growing, faithful, and active, persevering through difficulty. We are working inside Cuba now to bring in the harvest and provide Bibles for those that have never had a Bible!

Cuban Protestants represent 4 to 6 percent of the island’s population (between 450,000 and 700,000 people). Growth has been most robust in urban areas among denominations actively planting casas cultos, legalized in the 1990s in response to a surge in attendance at established houses of worship.

Since the 1959 Revolution, Castro’s Communist government has placed numerous restrictions on religious expression in Cuba—a reality illustrated by most sources’ requests for anonymity. Yet the Cuban church is thriving despite its limitations, and its leaders ask that their church not be used as a geopolitical pawn. “We are part of the body of Christ in the world, yet people see us only with political eyes,” said one leading Cuban evangelical. “To those people we say: ‘Come and see.’ ”

Cuban evangelicals have told us that the economic depression and concurrent revival has fed the spiritual hunger of many Cubans, largely nominally Roman Catholic. Dramatically higher attendance at established worship services and explosive growth of new casas cultos (“house churches”) are two impossible-to-ignore signs of the vibrancy of Cuban Christian growth. The Assemblies of God is Cuba’s largest Protestant group at 3,000 churches (up from 90 in the previous decade), for years tracked new congregations on a large wall map at their headquarters. But when growth exploded, they stopped adding red dots because it became impossible to display all the new churches on a single map.

Angie and I traveled throughout the Cuban island June 16-22, 2016. The pilgrimage revealed a surprisingly healthy church with a new generation of young pastors boldly pushing old boundaries. Their current evangelistic zeal is best summed up in the recent modification of a common evangelical rallying cry: from “Cuba para Cristo” to “Cuba para Cristo—ahora.” Cuba for Christ—now.
Since the 1990s, major changes have buffeted Cuba’s 11.4 million people. After the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, Cuba’s heavily subsidized economy collapsed, causing Cuba’s “Special Period” of economic crisis, famine, and more than a decade of hardship.

The time for Harvest in Cuba is now!!! The time for Bible distribution in Cuba is now!!! While Angie and I are in Cuba for our crusade, April 17-25, we will be giving away 10,000 full Bibles to people who have never had a Bible and preaching the Gospel to people who have never heard the Gospel.

We will also be distributing the brand new, Cuban Spanish, Truth for Youth Bible to young people. Two and a half years ago the Lord began to lead me to translate the Truth for Youth Bible into Cuban Spanish. At that point the doors for us to minister in Cuba had not even been made available. It really didn’t make sense. Now, we see that obeying the Lord, and doing what He instructed me to do is going to be a tremendous tool to reach the 1.4 million young people of Cuba.

We still need to raise about $25,000 for the Bibles that we will be giving away. If you have already given, THANK YOU! If you have not, please prayerfully consider helping us provide the Bibles! Thank you for praying and obeying!

Evangelist Tim Todd

Revival Fires are Burning Bright in our Revival Service

 

REVIVAL FIRES ARE BURNING BRIGHT IN OUR REVIVAL SERVICES

Waitress Natalie got saved!!

On Saturday, February 18 I was enjoying fellowship and supper at Longhorn Steakhouse in Little Rock, AR with my friend, Rev. Eddie Gwin. I began to share the love of Jesus with our waitress, Natalie. I asked her if she needed prayer for anything and she unfolded the story about her twin girls being born premature diagnosed with ’twin twin transfusion’. What a God appointment! I began to share with Natalie what God did for our twin girls, Miracle & Mariah. As you know, they were diagnosed with the exact same thing! Natalie recognized that the Lord had brought us to her. As the Holy Spirit began to move I had the honor of leading Natalie to the Lord at our table, right there in Longhorn!

The next morning I was eating breakfast at the hotel getting ready to leave for first revival service at TAG Church in Little Rock, where Dwayne Maynard is pastor. I was privileged again with the opportunity to share Jesus with a lady and her 2 young daughters that were in town for a dance recital competition the night before. As I left I invited them to the service and the Holy Spirit compelled them to come to the service instead of swimming like they had planned. They came forward and gave their hearts to the Lord in the first service of the revival!!!

TAG Church has been in a sovereign move of the Holy Ghost for more than three years! During our services there, we witnessed a mass of people give their hearts to the Lord, get filled with the Holy Ghost, healed, delivered from bondages, and SET ON FIRE FOR GOD!!!

God is still moving in these last days and many are responding to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our revival services. We’ve seen hundreds of people saved over the last several weeks in our services. All the sparks from the revival fire have overflowed and broken out into the communities where God has opened the doors for us to preach. People are getting saved, people are being filled with the Spirit, people  are getting fired up for God! It is amazing to see what God is doing. In all of our revival services the power of God is falling so mightily and many are being saved. The power of God has been so real. It is just unbelievable.

We are so honored to be preaching  the Gospel of Jesus Christ somewhere every week, all over the country. We are keeping the revival fires burning and praying God will continue to move across the country and save more souls through the ministry that He has called us to before he comes back. It is amazing to see what God is doing. It’s overwhelming.

In the midst of all the bondage and sin and the negativity and division (of the election) there is a group of people God is raising up to spread the good news of the Gospel. Our only hope is in Jesus. There is no hope in anything or anyone else. We are following him and letting him lead us and guide us. There are people being saved every day through the ministry of Revival Fires! HALLELUJAH!!!

It’s not just kids getting saved. It’s all ages walking down the aisle putting their faith in Jesus Christ! People sitting in the pews who lack passion for God are getting their hearts in right relationship with Jesus in our revival services too. There are lost church members who claim to be Christians and have no fruit. They live one way in the church and one way outside of church. God is bringing them to repentance!

In so many of our churches we’ve tried everything — programs, religious traditions, tried doing everything in our power to change ourselves and be better people, and nothing has worked, and people realize the only person that can change their life is Jesus Christ and putting their faith in him.

There is urgency! Time is short. Time is very short. We’ve heard preachers preach that our whole lives. I grew up hearing that, but now is different. Everything with regard to Bible prophecy-wise has been fulfilled. The next event is the rapture. Right now God is extending mercy. He is pouring out his spirit on all flesh. He is getting as many people into the family of God as he can. It is as though God is doing everything but making the decision for people. It’s not going to be too much longer before God will tell his Son to ‘go get your bride’. We have to do everything we can to reach as many people as we can as quickly as we can.

With many disillusioned by the current political season, we’ve seen openness and receptiveness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ like we’ve never seen before. What I am seeing is people hungry for God, they are hungry for God to move, hungry to see revival fire here in America. It is all God. Every bit of it is all God. Nobody can take credit for anything. It’s all been a holy God and his sovereignty. When you try to analyze it, it’s only God.

I am honored to be part of such an outpouring. It’s very humbling and very overwhelming. It’s a great responsibility. You don’t want to say or do anything that would grieve the Holy Ghost or do anything that would jeopardize God’s hand being on your life. You have to walk very humbly and very sensitively. You have to be very careful to give God all the glory. Any bit of pride can shut down what God is doing. It’s all been God and it will all be God.

So many programs dominate so many churches. We’ve gotten so used to our programs. This is where people have missed it. We get so caught up in church work that we lose sight of the work of the Church! We go to church, have a couple songs, a bunch of boring announcements, you have clubs and car washes and bake sales and orchestrated songs, and the preacher preaches a three-point boring sermon he threw together out of a book the night before and there is no room for the power of God. We need the power of the Holy Ghost. Without the power of the Holy Ghost nothing else matters. Nothing will change somebody’s life but the power of God. If you have the best building and best singing and all this stuff but not the power of God you have missed it all. We have to walk daily with God and stay on our knees in fiery fervent prayer.

UPCOMING CUBA FOR JESUS CRUSADE

April 17-25 we will be conducting a Cuba for Jesus Crusade in Havana, Ciego and Santiago, Cuba! While we are there we will also be giving away 10,000 full Bibles to 10,000 precious people who have NEVER had a Bible! It’s hard to fathom that there are that many people without Bibles, however, there are actually more than 5 million people in Cuba that don’t have even one Bible! We have made it a TOP PRIORITY of the ministry that God has called us to, to provide a Bible for every person in Cuba that doesn’t have a Bible.

While we are in Havana we also have a confirmed April 24th meeting with the president of the Cuban Council of Churches to present the BRAND NEW Cuban Spanish Truth for Youth Bible for distribution. It is a miracle that we have this scheduled appointment. Please be praying that this meeting will result in reaching the 1.4  million teenagers with the effective evangelism tool of the Truth for Youth Bible.

In our June 16-22, 2016 Cuba Crusade we were so honored to see THOUSANDS of men, women, young people and children RUN to give their lives to Jesus Christ! What an awesome sight! Altars in Cuba filled to capacity with people weeping before God, surrendering their hearts and lives to Christ!

As we gave Bibles to the people of Cuba that have never had a Bible they would hold it like it was a piece of Gold. I can honestly say that as they received their very first Bible, if you were to ask them if they would rather have gold or the Bible they received, they would have chosen the Bible. Yes, the spiritually hungry people of Cuba would rather have God than gold!

Please pray for us as we put everything into place and prepare for this very important Cuba Crusade. We have already raised $20,000 for the 10,000 Bibles we will give away while we are there. We still need to raise about $30,000 more. The full Bibles cost our ministry only $5 each. I’m convinced that providing Bibles for the people of Cuba who have NEVER HAD EVEN ONE BIBLE!, is one of the very most important things we can do for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let me ask you to please prayerfully consider helping us with the rest of the expense for this Cuba for Jesus Crusade that is going to produce a massive harvest of souls and provide Bibles for 10,000 people who are desperate for their very first Bible.

Please pray about how many Bibles for the Cuban people God would have you to help us give away: A $25 gift will help us provide 5 full Bibles; A $50 gift will provide 10 Bibles; A $100 gift will provide 20 Bibles; A $200 gift will provide 40 Bibles; A $500 gift will provide 100 full Bibles for Cuba; A $1000 gift will provide 200 Bibles; A $2500 gift will help us give 500 Bibles; A $5000 gift will provide 1000 Bibles for Cuba; A $10,000 gift will provide 2000 full Bibles for 2000 Cuban people who have NEVER HAD A BIBLE!

Any size of gift will be so helpful! Thank you so much for praying and thank you for helping. You click here to send your very best gift to help us reach the precious people in the Communist country of Cuba.

BIBLES FOR CUBA MISSION

April 18-26 Angie and I will be ministering in Cuba with my 85 year old dad, Cecil Todd, and my brother, Cecil Todd. While we are there we will be preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and distributing 10,000 Bibles to people of Cuba that have never had a Bible!!!

Cuba’s Department of Religious Affairs has approved the distribution of these 10,000 Bibles throughout Cuba!

Bibles have been so scarce in Cuba that some preachers have been preaching for years from a borrowed Bible! Most churches have had only one or two Bibles for the entire congregation! We now have the opportunity to change this by bringing Bibles to Cuba!

Think About It…

Bible distribution in Cuba was stopped in 1969. It just blows my mind to know that we now have this wide open door for Bible distribution and evangelism in Cuba. This is a miracle and God is performing it!!!

---

Here’s how it happened…

The Bible Commission of Cuba, a well respected liaison organization between Cuban churches and the Cuban government for over 60 years, has been used mightily of God to help open this vitally important door of Bible distribution and evangelism in Cuba. THE DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS for the Cuban government has officially approved this Bible distribution effort. What a miracle break through from God!

With tears of joy streaming down her cheeks this precious woman from Cuba told me personally, “My family has been praying for a Bible for 60 YEARS. God used you to answer our prayer. My mother didn’t live to see this day. She would be so happy.”

New Day In America

Dr. Tim & Angie Todd

Dr. Perry Stone & Dr. Randy Valimont

The United States made a decision to overwhelmingly turn our back on a nonproductive, inadequate, spineless, and unrestrained government, and the vicious attack against our Christian foundational roots. America voted pro life and pro family for their children and grandchildren , and for the document of the US Constitution. As one who strongly urged the Church  of our Lord Jesus Christ to pray and put legs on their prayers by voting—and to do so for the above reasons, I am grateful for the strong stand the Church made.

Dutch Sheets-Christian leader and best selling author

83% of the church voted in the presidential election. More than any time I can remember, we the Church flexed our praying and voting muscle…and we who cling to our God and our guns amazed the world. I have never witnessed so many people praying for the outcome of an election. This was a miraculous act of God, without question. Praise God almighty!

Lou Ingle-The Call

However, I want to be crystal clear in saying that my faith is not in an individual or a political party; neither is my loyalty. There is no human being or human organization that can fix America. We know that there is not a political solution to America’s problems. Our problems are spiritual problems therefore they cannot be resolved by politics.

Alveda King-Niece to Dr. Martin Luther King

Certainly Donald Trump is not perfect and his abilities have bounds and limitations; his views are not always those that line up with the Word of God, nor do his deeds. But I, like so many Christian leaders, knew he was the better selection. And I believe God is already using him.

In order for me to even consider voting for an individual the starting point is that they must not be in favor of a woman’s right to choose to murder her child in the womb by way of abortion and they must not put their stamp of approval on homosexual behavior.

Cindy Jacobs-prayer warrior and best selling author

As you and I prayed during this election process, God was willing to give us mercy, not judgment. I will say though, Election Day was spiritually difficult. As Angie and I interceded and stood in faith, trusting that God was going to bring victory, it was emotional. On Election Day and on Inauguration Day, I wept, knowing that mercy had, truly, triumphed over judgment (James 2:13).

While I celebrate, however, I also realize there is still much work to do. Though it is appropriate to celebrate, we must remember this is only the start. Absolutely, it can be the fresh beginning we have so fervently anticipated, but it is still just that—the beginning. In every end there is also a beginning!

As for me, I plan to do my part to compel the Church not go back to sleep. I will continue to work tirelessly for the fullness of a great REVIVAL FIRE to sweep across America and around the world. Nothing else will embolden us to finish what has begun.

Todd Starnes-Fox News Commentator and best-selling author

And we must continue to pray for President Trump and our other government leaders. Prayer is the link, it is the nexus, between what is and what should be. It is rebellion against status quo. Praying is when human impotence and divine omnipotence intersect.

To the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ I say, THANK YOU for praying. You have made a spiritual impact on our nation.

CELEBRATING GOD’S MERCY AND ‘SECOND CHANCE’

Lou Sheldon, Traditional Family Values president

What an honor for Angie and I to attend the Inauguration and Inauguration Ball in Washington DC with some of America’s most prominent spiritual leaders. The celebration began on Thursday, January 19 with the theme, “Celebrating God’s Mercy.” – His mercy for America. God heard our prayers. This just shows what happens when God’s people stop and pray, asking the Lord to save America. This was truly a launch into a new season for America.

It was such an honor and privilege to be a part of the launching evening into a new government and really a new wineskin for America.

Dr. Tom Renfro-Was on his death bed with cancer. God healed him instantly!!!

The purpose of which, of course, was to celebrate the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as 45th President of the United States.

Many evangelicals, had an important hand in bringing about President Trump’s victory – with a lot of divine guidance. Now it’s up to the faith community to keep working for a more God-honoring country and culture.

God has given us a second chance and it’s really incumbent upon us to decide how we’re going to take this second chance – what we’re going to do with it.
