KINDOM POWER FOR THIS HOUR
Darlene M Keller, Psalmist

After four glorious days in the presence of the Lord, we are still receiving reports “worldwide” describing awesome explosions of Holy Ghost Kingdom Power. Jesus taught on the Kingdom of God and, as we studied these principles of truth during the seminar, we witnessed and experienced walking in a realm that declares the awesome power of the King, Christ Jesus. We have received e-mails from those with life changing stories and events as they left the mountains of North Carolina; spiritual renewal, an energized outpouring of the “Gifts of the Spirit”, a driving force to evangelize “lost” souls and, seeing hearts and lives immediately filled with H O P E, manifestations of the “Fruit of the Spirit” ~impacting the hearts and lives of families, co-workers, friends and others. We are seeing what the Kingdom of God produces. . . L I F E ~ always creating, always moving forward towards the great and consummate end . . . from Glory to Glory!

Several Pastors attended the seminar and, they represented a number of different countries throughout the world. Pastor Emmanuel Twagirimana, from Nairobi Kenya, became “the testimony” of Kingdom Power. Pastor Emmanuel shared his testimony of the Resurrection Power of Jesus. What an awesome testimony! Pastor Emmanuel was struck by shrapnel during the 1994 Rwanda Genocide War. He shared his death experience, journey to heaven and hell and, the restoration and healing of his body as he was miraculously brought back to life after seven days of death. Pastor Emmanuel shared that there are four things necessary to enter the Kingdom of Heaven;

1. You must be saved.
2. You must keep your vows to God.
3. You must walk with forgiveness in your heart.
4. You must pay your tithes.

Pastor Emmanuel’s testimony can be read in his book entitled “Seven Days In Heaven” and, it is a testimony in due season.

We are living in a day when the reality of hell’s existence has been intentionally disregarded. We hear preaching of “heaven” and “angels” but cringe at the slightest mention of “hell”. Throughout the scriptures we read of a place having an eternal unquenchable fire (See Matt 5:22 & 18:19 also, Mark 9:43-47). Also, the parable Jesus told of “The Rich Man and Lazarus” speaks of a “gulf” that separates two distinctly different realms. Hell is depicted as a place of intense heat and fire…a place of torment for the wicked.

On Monday, July 16th, Brother John and Sister Rene accompanied Pastor Emmanuel and Jonathan (translator) to a local TV Station in Georgia (WCAG Channel 33/ LaGrange, Georgia) for a live interview with television host Diane Colson. Pastor Emmanuel shared the awesomeness of his time spent with Jesus both in heaven and in hell and, his resurrection from the dead. Pastor Emmanuel’s shared a message warning Christians to live “authentic Christian lives”. This message disputes recent claims of a well-known television evangelist that “life on earth is hell” and that “hell is not real”. Many of God’s people are being deceived by false doctrines (II Peter 2:1-22) and, Pastor Emmanuel’s testimony declares truth to the people of God.

A word from Sister Rene ~

I have heard those say when folks get a glimpse of heaven, their version is different from the next person who saw heaven etc. Have you ever thought of that?

God told me two things: First of all, He told me that everything about heaven is not declared in His word because we are living here on this planet earth, and heaven is it own domain. We do not know everything about it, nor is it fully described in His Word, for that is not essential for our salvation. Heaven is its own kingdom and life and activities, for those who live there. We live here, so the Word of God tells us how to live here that we may enter into the kingdom there forever, and also be a part of bringing forth the kingdom while we are here on earth. Secondly, He told me that everyone’s versions are different because when they have a glimpse of heaven they are seeing only one part that He allows them to see. It would be like for the first time coming to America and visiting Florida and then going home and saying to everyone, “I visited Florida and this is America.” No, it is only a part of America; there are multitudes of cities and places and states all different, which make up America. The same with heaven; it has multitudes of areas, which we know not of. And it goes on forever, for eons upon eons of time. Also, what about Apostle John in the Book of Revelation? All that he saw was in the realm of the spirit, the realm of the kingdom; it was given to declare something.

So in the kingdom, we must be prepared to see many things that our natural minds would not appreciate, but “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you.”
