The God of the Mountains and Valleys


by Francis Frangipane

he battles we face are often intense times of weakness, distress, and confusion. If the events of our lives were charted, these would be the lowest points. Yet God is no less with us during difficulties than at other times. In fact, these valleys are often as much the plan of God as our mountaintop experiences. There is a story in the Bible that speaks plainly to this truth. Israel had recently defeated the Arameans in a mountain battle. In I Kings 20, we read: Then the prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself and observe and see what you have to do; for at the turn of the year the king of Aram will come up against you. Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him, Their gods are gods of the mountains, therefore they were stronger than we; but rather let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they (I Kings 20:22-23). The enemy said that the God of Israel was a god of the mountains, but if they fought the Jews in the valleys, they would defeat them. We read in verse 28: Then a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel and said, Thus says the Lord, Because the Arameans have said, The Lord is a god of the mountains, but He is not a god of the valleys, therefore I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord (I Kings 20:28). No matter what the enemy tries to tell you, Christ is God of the mountains and God of the valleys. He has not stopped being God because you happen to be in a valley. He is the God of glory as seen in His power and miracles. In the valleys, He reveals Himself as faithful, loyally committed to us in our difficulties and distresses. In and through all things He is our God. When we are on the mountaintops of our Christian experience, we can see our future clearly. We have perspective and confidence. When we are in one of lifes valleys, however, our vision is limited and our future seems hidden. Yet valleys are also the most fertile places on earth. Valleys produce fruitfulness. You can expect there to be a harvest of virtue when God dwells with you in the valleys.

The Highway

to

Zion

How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, in whose heart are the highways to Zion! Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a spring (Psalm 84:5-6).
2 The Morning STar E-Journal

Baca means weeping. Each of us has times of weeping when our hearts and hopes seem crushed. Because God has placed in our hearts highways to Zion, however, we pass through valleys; we do not live in them. Passing through the valley of Baca. Once we are on the other side of weeping, our Redeemer makes our valley experience into a spring. The very things that overwhelmed us will, in time, refresh us with new life. Whether we are experiencing the height of success and power or are in a valley of weakness and despair, the Lord is our God continually! Has the enemy isolated you, causing you to doubt Gods love? Do not forget, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Even the hairs on your head are numbered. He cares. It is His love for us that redeems our hardships and not only brings good out of what was meant for evil, but also trains us to deliver others. How did Jesus prepare to do wonderful works? Part of His training involved suffering. Christ was a man of sorrows. He was One who was acquainted with grief. Yet His suffering was the Fathers means of acquainting Him with the actual feelings of mankinds need and pain. Because He suffered what we suffer, He is able to serve as a faithful high priest. If we yield to Gods plan for Christ to be formed in us, God will take our sorrows to enlarge our hearts. Once we have been acquainted with grief, we then can be anointed with compassion to deliver others.

Josephs Trials
Consider Joseph. He was the second youngest of Jacobs sons and his fathers favorite. His walk with God began with dreams and visions. Josephs life is a pattern for many who have had a genuine call from God. Our walk with God may also have begun with a travel brochure of dreams and visions where God gives us a picture of His destination for us. Yet we fail to be able to see how His promises will come to pass in our lives. Joseph was betrayed by his brothers and delivered up by them to die. He was unjustly accused when Potiphars wife tried to seduce him. He was imprisoned and forgotten by all except God who patiently watched and measured Josephs reaction to difficulty. Rich or poor, blessed or smitten, Joseph served God. He was being tested, but he continued to pass his tests. Joseph was on trial before men, but he was found innocent before God. Finally, at the right moment, the Lord suddenly connected all the loose ends of Josephs life. Everything that Joseph went through would have seemed cruel and unfair except that the Lord was shaping a man for His purpose. God uses everything we go through for future purposes that He alone sees. We do not see His ultimate plan while we are in the valley. We must remember the vision, keeping faith in what God has promised. Just as He allowed Joseph to go through many trials, so He allows us to go through great conflicts as well. For He knows that our liveswhat we have become through His gracewill help others find the shelter of the Most High God in their lives.

Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, For, he said, God has made me forget all my trouble and all my fathers household (Genesis 41:51). God caused Joseph to forget the difficulty and pain of his life. There is something wonderful about the Lords capacity to cause all things to work for good. With Jesus in our lives, a time ultimately comes when God causes us to forget all the troubles of the past. He named the second Ephraim, For, he said, God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction (Genesis 41:52). God made him fruitful in the very things that afflicted him. In the land of your affliction, in your battle, is the place where God will make you fruitful. Consider even now, the area of greatest affliction in your life. In that area, God will make you fruitful in such a way that your heart will be fully satisfied and Gods heart fully glorified. Ultimately, the Lord will touch many others with the substance of what you have gained. In a world that is superficial, Christ will produce something within you that is deep and living. God has not promised to keep us from valleys and sufferings, but He has promised to make us fruitful in them. Without a doubt, we each will pass through valleys before we reach our final goal in God. As we remain faithful to Him in trials, the character and nature of Christ Jesus will emerge in our spirits; and Christ will be revealed to those around us. He intends to make your life a key that unlocks Gods shelter for others. Lord, You are God of the mountains and the valleys. I know that Your faithfulness is my shield and my bulwark. Thank You for redeeming the conflicts of my life. I praise You for healing me and causing me to forget all the trauma of my past. Now Lord, help me to remember what I have learned. Cause me to remember that the crises in my life always precedes the enrichment of my life. Help me to recognize that the place of my fruitfulness is in the land of my affliction. In Jesus name. Amen.

Revival and the Todd Bentley Restoration


by Rick Joyner
The following was first circulated as a Special Bulletin, which brought an overwhelmingly positive response. Knowing that not all who receive our E-MSJ read our Special Bulletins, I felt that this abbreviated version would be appropriate.

Present Status
fter nearly a year and a half of working with Todd, I recently felt that it was time to release him into limited ministry in our local church. This does not mean that Todd has been released back into ministry in general, nor does it mean that Todd is nearing the end of his restoration process. Before Todd will be fully released back into ministry, we will ask for a council to endorse this, which will be composed of those who are respected throughout the body of Christ as true elders in the church. Of course, they would need to come to the comfort level that would enable them to become part of this council, which we think would be a worthy test of Todds present spiritual condition. This is not to imply that this would endorse anything that Todd has done in the past; rather that he recognized his mistakes and his sins, has genuinely repented of them, and has adequately shut the gates of hell that gave the devil access into his life. We see in the Scriptures that the Lord has a lot of mercy for sinners, but none for the self-righteous, and that such pride usually precedes a fall. This is not to imply that all who question or oppose Todds release are doing this out of pride, but it is a form of pride to make important or sweeping judgments with partial information. Therefore, we will try to provide all of the information possible to keep people from stumbling in this way and to judge Todd and our process in the right way.

Reason

for

Release

in

Local Church

I felt that it was time to release Todd into limited ministry in our local church because I had the leading of the Lord to do this. To me, this always trumps every other reason, but I had some other reasons too, which I will try to explain. Some of the major issues, or strongholds, which had caused Todds problems, failures, and sins had been understood and repented of with considerable depth by Todd and Jessa. Todds personal relationship with the Lord has been restored and strengthened. Todd has an understanding of and a vision for entering the rest of the Lord, and he has done this to a great degree. As far as his spiritual health, Todds ministry is probably now in a better place than many other ministries I know. However, he does still have issues that could hurt him, or cause problems in the future, some of which we have not even addressed yet. Therefore, he is still very much in the process of restoration.
The Morning Star E-Journal 5

We are all in a restoration process. So where do we draw the line and say that people are at a level of maturity in which we can release them into ministry? This is one of those questions worthy of deep consideration because its impact on the church has been, and will be, huge. If we are going to do this right, we need to consider how the Lord did it. How did He do it? In Luke 10, the Lord sent the seventy out in teams of two. They cast out demons, healed the sick, and preached the gospel. They were so successful that the Lord said He saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. In Luke 11, these disciples came to Jesus and asked Him to teach them to pray. Think about itthey did all of this, and they did not even know how to pray yet! Look at the condition of the leadership in the church when the Lord went to the cross and basically left everything in their hands. They were fighting over who was the greatest on the very night He was crucified. They could not even stay awake for one hour to pray with the King of kings in His most desperate hour, then betrayed and denied Him, fleeing from Him when He needed His friends the most. This is after three years under the greatest Mentor there will ever be! It is hard to understand why the Lord would trust so much to men in any degree, much less to be representatives of His kingdom. In looking at the great heroes in the Bible, it seems that every one of them had failures and were a major embarrassment in some way, often in many ways. He is the King, so I have resolved to keep it simple and follow Him regardless of whether I understand everything or not. I am also resolved to do my best to stand for His truth and His people, regardless of the consequences. It is interesting that the person who is considered the very first evangelist in Scripture is the woman at the well, as she was the first to go forth proclaiming Jesus to be the Messiah. She had been divorced five times and was living in sin at the time. It would be much easier to explain if the Lord had chosen someone far less controversial for this great honor. Then there is the embarrassment of Peter, who lived with Jesus for several years, had seen all of His miracles, and had the revelation from the Father of who Jesus was, then denied Him three times in one nightone of the worst things he could do. Just a few weeks later, he was again in leadership preaching one of the most important evangelistic messages ever preached on the Day of Pentecost. Im quite sure most of those new converts wondered just what kind of leadership the Lord had given them in the church. From the beginning, we certainly have had a leadership that definitely would be a stumbling block to those who care about appearances. Many leaders feel that these embarrassing falls from those in high visibility in the church are causing many to stumble, and doubtless they do. However, the self-righteousness manifested by many when this happens is probably causing far more to reject the church and our message. How can anyone trust our message of redemption and restoration when we will not even restore our own fallen? Another important point is that those who are forgiven much, love much, and tend to have more real faith, which is having a dependence on who Jesus is, not on who we are. Those who are immature are more dependent, and those who have received the mercy and grace of the

Lord in a fresh way seem to be the most powerful in sharing it in a way that will lead others who are struggling to receive salvationmaking them some of the most powerful evangelists. Being an elder in the church is a different matter. Many think that being any of the equipping ministries listed in Ephesians 4 automatically makes one an elder, but it does not. If this were true, why would Peter and John have to verify that they were elders in their Epistles? Being an elder is often superficially understood in much of the modern church movements. The New Testament model adopted by the early church was from the nation of Israel. In the church, we often honor people with these positions just because they have some maturity and wisdom, but in Israel an elder was a gatekeeper and a judge. Even prophets were not considered elders, but like watchmen on the walls of a city, they communicated what they saw to the elders who sat in the gates. However, it was the elders who determined the action to be taken from their reports. This is a study worthy of much more depth than we have a place for here, and even though any minister could be an elder, having a ministry does not make you an elder. The woman at the well may have done a great job as an evangelist by getting people to meet Jesus, but this did not make her an elder. On the other hand, Peter was certainly an elder, a gatekeeper to the entire body of Christ, opening the gate of salvation to both the Jews and the Gentiles, having great authority over the church of the first century. Even so, he was prone to some serious mistakes, too. A large part of my motivation for seeing Todd restored to ministry is to see more of this kind of fruit, and I am not at all ashamed of it. Many years ago, I was shown Todds calling. I know that what he has yet to do will greatly eclipse what he has already done. As Bob Jones said when the Outpouring broke out in Lakeland, This is just previews of coming attractions. Even so, one of the greatest concerns I had about Lakeland was the prima donna attitude that began to manifest on Todd. People with this syndrome dont think the rules that apply to others apply to them. This will cause you to start thinking you are the main reason for the revival, not Jesus, and not the lost. Youll start seeing yourself as more important than any one person is, and even essential to the plan of God. This is the root of pride, which likely caused the fall of Satan, and has caused many falls since. One of the biggest open doors to this prima donna syndrome is low self-esteem and rejection. These can cause one to be driven to prove their value to others. This is why the foundation of Todds restoration was entering the rest of the Lord and finding his acceptance in what the Lord had done, not what he could do. True faith has to be coupled with patience to attain the promises. As the law of inertia teaches us, you cannot steer something that is not moving. Likewise, Todd doing some ministry will allow us to see and deal with some of these things that could cause him to stumble again. I felt that by him doing some ministry again, it would bring some things to the surface so they could be dealt with in a more controlled place. However, as stated, my real reason for releasing him into some limited ministry was a clear leading from the Lord.
The Morning Star E-Journal 7

Todd still has some open doors that could trip him up in the future. At times, he has to fight the discouragement that would naturally come with the failure of his marriage, the way the Lakeland Outpouring ended, and the loss of just about everything he had built over the last decade of very hard work. If he allows these feelings of failure to become a drive in his life, he will likely burn out again, and the next time could be the last. I want to be with him while he works through some of these. When I was a flight instructor, I could fairly accurately tell which mistakes a student would make. I would not let those students solo until they had made those mistakes with me in the cockpit so they would not kill themselves. However, no matter how much I tried to explain their tendencies that I considered dangerous to them, until they actually made the mistakes while flying, they did not get it. Its time for Todd to start flying again, but I am going to be very close to him for a while, for his sake, and for anyone else who might later get in the plane with him.

A Visitation
I was not asking for confirmation of this step with Todd because I was confident in the leading I had, but confirmation did come in a very powerful way. Bob Jones had been saying for some time that he knew he was about to have a face-to-face encounter with the Lord, and he did. In this encounter, Bob was told to come to our Sunday morning service and lay hands on Todd for his release, and then to break off of Todd and MorningStar the negative spoken words against us from other Christians. The effect of this prayer was so powerful that it was like having the sky go from dark and overcast to clear blue instantly. At the first meeting when Todd preached, I felt he had one of the greatest messages on hunger for God that I have ever heard. It was not just about the words or concepts that he was teaching, but there was a tangible impartation of hunger for God like many had not experienced in a very long time. You cannot have that kind of impartation if it is not working in your own life. This was the greatest witness that the restoration process I have been leading Todd through has been working. I do believe that above any knowledge or personal discipline we have, it is our love for God that keeps us hungry for Him more than anything else. Loving God is our main job description as human beings, and it is the main way it will be determined if we have been successful in this life. This is going to be the main thing that keeps Todd, or any of us, on track in this life.

Immediate Revival?
In that meeting, and virtually every meeting since, the presence of the Lord has been stronger than weve experienced in a long time. It seems to be increasing as the hunger in us is increasing. This is what we signed up for in the beginningthe manifest presence of the Lord. We are having great miracles and high-level prophecy, but this is better than all of that. We may be in the first stages of an authentic revival. Were not calling it that yet, but it seems like it is the beginning of something remarkable, and the beginning of it all was Bobs visitation and prayer for us.
8 The Morning STar E-Journal

We are obviously in the first stages of something major. It is not built around Todds ministry or anyone elses. Im thankful we had released him to minister in our local church because he has been a large part of whats happening, and he will no doubt be a big part of what unfolds. He may be in the forefront for a period of time, and then others will. Todd is just one of about a half dozen who are being used on the forefront of this, and we expect that number to grow. Several have an anointing similar to Todds, but others are different, but no less annointed. I am the designated driver, and the primary one with the authority and responsibility to steer it. If I do my part right, I will free the others from having to do this, and I expect all of them to go to a new level. To do this, I need to know where the Lord is leading us, and I do have a general map that I have been shown, beginning thirty-five years ago. When we planted a church here, we began with the team ministry concept because we were shown that this was not only biblical, but would be necessary for the revival that will be coming to this area. After living here for a short time, I started to meet older people who told me about the prophecies from as far back as the late 1930s and early 1940s of this coming revival. None of these had lost hope, but were sure it would come one day. This could be it. If it is the beginning of what I was shown, it will grow into something more remarkable in some ways than anything we have experienced in our lifetime. If this is the beginning, we will soon be in the greatest of all of the Great Awakenings, and a tithe of all Americans will soon be born again and filled with the Spirit. That is thirty to forty million people who will be added to all who are already born again. These will also be added to a real New Testament church life because the church is going to be transformed into this. If what is happening here is what I was shown, then no man or group of people will be the face of it. MorningStar will not be the face of it either. This one will be about Jesus, not us. Once we have experienced the manifest presence of the Lord, we are ruined for anything else. What good is the most glorious temple if there is no God in it? If God is in His temple, then it does not matter how glorious or spectacular the temple isit will not be the temple that gets your attention. If people come here and then leave talking about any of us, or even the great experiences that they have here, it will have fallen short of what it is supposed to be. If this becomes a Todd show, or a MorningStar show, we will have fumbled with what we were entrusted. Another large factor in the breakup of Todds marriage was his marriage to ministry and the pace that he tried to keep up, which led to two major burnout episodes. If God would rest after six days, who are we to think we dont need this? Its quite a presumption to think we can do something God did not even do. Presumption is pride. Having to submit to a team deals with a lot of that pride.

Restoration

and the

Favor

of

God

Many years ago, I had a dream in which one of my children had fallen into a sewage ditch and could not get up. They were covered in filth and no one would help them. People only scorned or jeered at my child, which was one of the most grievous things I have ever experienced in a dream. Then someone came and helped my child out of the ditch, cleaned them up, and
The Morning Star E-Journal 9

got them going on their way again. In that dream, I would have given everything I owned to that person who helped my child, and I was thinking about what I could do for them when I heard the voice of the Lord say, Jim Bakker is My child. Will you help him? When I asked Jim Bakker to speak at a conference right after he got out of prison, I did take some heat for it, and some on my staff even thought I was risking everything. I may have been, but I also had no doubt that I would gain the Lords favor, which is far more valuable than having mans favor. I know the reason that we were able to acquire the former Heritage Grand Hotel and Conference Center and other parts of the former PTL property, at a tiny fraction of its value, was because of the favor of God we received for helping Jim. I actually did not do very much to help Jim Bakker, and others may have done much more, such as Tommy Barnett. I also think we have received such a huge benefit from our friendship with Jim that it would have been well worth it without getting the property. We did get the most remarkable home for our ministry that I could ever imagine, and we have even more of the favor of God in other remarkable ways. No doubt it has been a huge risk to help Todd. Of course, I lost some friends, and we lost some people and partners. I have no guarantee of how this is going to turn out, and I have had restoration failures before, too. However, I try not to weigh the possible costs or benefits in such matters, but rather just try to be obedient. If I get rewards here, fine; but Im just as good to get them in heaven. No doubt some people will never accept Todds restoration to ministry, and we did gain a few more enemies, some of whom were friends before. However, I know that the favor of God is worth more than any cost we can pay in this life. Even with the controversy, we gained far more friends than we lost, and we have even had a net gain in partners for our ministry. I also think the greatest favor of all could be one of the greatest revivals in history, resulting in thirty to forty million new brothers and sisters in Christ just in America. If we are trusted with this, which is yet to be determined, it might be linked to this risk we took in helping Todd. In Mark 10:29-30, the Lord gives us a wonderful promise: Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospels sake, but that he shall receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions. In my ministry to date, I think every time I have taken a major risk to help someone, or to speak or write something that I was given, but knew it would be controversial, the benefits gained always outweighed what I had risked by at least one hundred times. It is always right to do what you think is right regardless of the risk or potential reward, but the Lord is faithful to reward those who do so. Along with it, persecutions may be expected. The Lord did nothing but what was right. I would never claim to be doing everything that well, and I am quite sure that not all of our critics are wrong, and many have a sincere desire to protect the truth and to protect Gods people. However, much of what is said and written about Todd and me is false, but that does not mean everything is, so we try to stay
10 The Morning STar E-Journal

open. However, I will address what is being said that is false for the sakes of others who are being caused to stumble by it. If we are about to see a major revival break out, the persecution will also break out on a correspondingly high level. This too comes with the territory as the Lord Himself taught. With the increase of power and impact in Jesus ministry, the persecution went up accordingly. With the undeniable resurrection of Lazarus, the Lords enemies determined that it was time to kill Him. No doubt that the persecution will ratchet up dramatically with the increase of the favor of God. This is biblical. So what kind of favor is that? Ask the Jewish people who have been His chosen people. It may not seem like favor to those who care about earthly things and the favor of men, but to be considered worthy to suffer shame for His names sake is one of the greatest honors we can have in this life and will be an eternal honor in heaven. Were here to do the will of God and fully trust Him for any reward He thinks we deserve or any honor such as persecution that He thinks we need. Again, this is not to imply that we are doing everything right, but were trying our best to keep it simple and just seek to be obedient. The same crowd that was crying, Hosanna, when Jesus entered Jerusalem was crying, crucify Him, just five days later. I therefore think it is foolish to put our trust in peoples opinions whether good or bad, but I seek to please the Lord. As the Apostle Paul wrote in Galatians 1:10, If I were still seeking to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. The demon-possessed were easy for the Lord to deal with. The sinners were attracted to Him, but it was the religious community that persecuted Him. I knew that the result of going into this process with Todd would not only attract many who were in the grips of sin and needed to know that the grace of God could extend to them, but it may also be to expose and help many get free of an evil, self-righteous religious spirit, which has dominated the church throughout most of her history. I knew all along that this was about much more than Todd or me. For the sakes of those who are bound or influenced by this religious spirit, I will be straightforward in confronting it whenever and in whomever it rises. I would expect no less from those who are my own true friends who see it rising in me, and I certainly do not claim to be perfect in this either. Thank you for caring enough to read this regardless of your position on what we are doing. In the future Bulletins, I think you will find them to be even more interesting.

Love Based on Truth


by Rick Reddick

ave you ever heard the statement, Love is blind, and wondered if this was accurate? Love that comes from the Father is not blind. Rather, it is based on truth. When we choose to love people for who they truly are, while seeing the good and the bad, we are manifesting a grace that comes from heaven. Sadly, a false concept has eased its way into the church, having its foundation built on the assumption that love is blind. To love the way Christ does is to see a persons true condition and then die for them.

A mistaken Christian practice is to tell others we love them while barely knowing them. This error is nothing new. The Apostle Paul encountered this same problem, And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you . . . and to esteem them very highly in love for their works sake (I Thessalonians 5:12-13 KJV). To know means to see or have an accurate perception. Sadly, the church has sometimes been told that if we try to correctly see someone or something then we are in danger of committing a sin by judging. As a result, we have veered away from making accurate evaluations when it concerns other believers. Jesus said we would know people by their fruit (see Matthew 7:16). Yet we sometimes find ourselves hesitant to make an assessment of a persons spiritual fruitfulness. Why? Could it be that we have not properly understood righteous judgment? Jesus said, Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment (John 7:24 NKJV). Our Savior reveals that there is a righteous process whereby we come to a conclusion using our intellect. As Christians, we need to get past this unbiblical fear of judging. The Bible says that we are to judge those inside the church, that we will judge the world, and that we will judge angels (see I Corinthians 5:12; 6:2-3). Whenever the Bible speaks negatively about judging, it must be read in context (see Matthew 7:1-5; Luke 6:37; Romans 14:13). Such passages, taken out of context, are used to teach that we should not judge. However, a closer examination of these passages reveals that we should judge while avoiding hypocrisy, legalism, and stumbling blocks in our relationships to others. Overcoming these evils in our own lives allows us access to His grace to make righteous judgments. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus specifically condemns hypocritical judgment (see Matthew 7:1-5). At the end of this teaching, He says, You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brothers eye (Matthew 7:5). Before making an assessment of another persons condition, we must first see ourselves accurately. This causes us to view others with His grace and mercy. A good practice is to share with others our personal failures before we attempt to bring their shortcomings to light. When we speak to our friends, family, and others with this lowly posture, we love them based on truth. Only when we have removed the log from our eyes are we able to accurately see the speck in someone elses. I have been married for almost eight years, and I have known my wife for more than ten years. Recently, we found ourselves in a place where we wanted to completely know each others
The Morning Star E-Journal 13

past experiences. We did not want any secrets between us. My wife and I lived very sinful lifestyles before we were saved, so we knew this would not be easy. The depths of depravity to which we sank are still very real to us. While we had been honest about our pasts during our engagement, we had not been totally open about everything. We did not lie to each other. We just kept certain things backsuch as specific details concerning premarital sexual sins. As long as we had hidden secrets, we were not free. By keeping these things in darkness, our marriage was not becoming all that it was called to be. We had a good marriage, but I sensed we were missing something. So we proceeded to talk about the secrets of our past. We determined to love each other based on truth, no matter how painful that might be. Instantaneous, miraculous freedom and deliverance did not happen once we started talking about our pasts. Instead, this quickly became one of the darkest periods in our marriage. We confessed past sexual sins that we thought would never be heard by another person, let alone our spouse. The first few days were the hardest, but as the weeks passed, the pain started to ease. Before we knew it, freedom rushed into our marriage, and we were able to love with a brand new intensity. Having become totally exposed to each other in such a vulnerable way forced us to see each other with Gods eyes. As this love matured, we experienced marriage altering breakthroughs in our spirits, souls, and bodies. Our unity increased to levels we thought impossible. Even now, my mind cannot comprehend how our marriage could get any better. While it was dark and painful for both of us to know the truth about each others past, it brought a new level of freedom and intimacy in our marriage that neither of us dreamed was possible. Such heavenly, supernatural love is possible when we purpose to make righteous judgments supported by truth. My wife and I wanted to have truth in the innermost parts of our marriage. This involved reaching honest conclusions concerning who we were in our past experiences and who we are now. This process killed unregenerated areas in our souls before it empowered us. The result is that we began to comprehend the suffering associated with loving in a godly manner. The true understanding of a persons fallen condition causes us to feel pain and sorrow. Thankfully, such knowledge releases Gods provision in our lives so that we can minister His love to others in the place of their specific need. We must get past false concepts of love and judgment if we are going to walk in this world as Jesus did. He accurately assessed mans need and then became our Savior. If we are walking in the love of God, we will want to correctly evaluate other peoples needs so that we can most effectively serve them. We also need to make correct assessments when it comes to seeing good qualities in others. After telling us to know them which labour among you, Paul then admonishes us to esteem them very highly in love for their works sake (I Thessalonians 5:12 KJV). We cannot accurately esteem others unless we have made an intellectual evaluation concerning their character. The religious spirit has taught a counterfeit love that is not founded on truth. This false perception cheapens love to mere words. Before we tell others that we love them, maybe we
14 The Morning STar E-Journal

should search our hearts to see what we have done for them. Have we lifted them up in prayer? Have we shown them kindness and mercy? Have we spoken the truth to them? Or are we saying we love them because it is the right thing to do? Possibly, all of us have participated in the culture of cheap love at some point in our Christian walks. Thats okay. This life is a journey, and we are not at the end yet. God continues to compel His church to love others based on truth. This can be one of the hardest things to endure, but the rewards greatly outweigh the suffering. If you see this false love operating in your life, simply ask the Lord to forgive you, and move on. To love freely is one of the greatest things we can experience in this life, and, who knows, your marriage or other relationships may well excel beyond your greatest expectationsmine certainly have by loving others based on truth.

CMM Missions to Haiti Report


by Jorge Parrott
Christs Mandate for Missions came under the umbrella of MorningStar in 2009. Combined, we now have more than 500 missionaries in the field, as well as schools and orphanages on several different continents. For more information about these missions, please go to our website at www.cmmissions.net.

he second team of nurses and disaster relief volunteers are finishing up and returning to the U.S. as this is being written. Teams are going each week to work under Pastor Vincents supervision, the overseer of the CMM/MorningStar mission in Haiti. There is much to do. Our focus is to repair Pastor Vincents home, church, school, perimeter wall, and roof, for security. Even with the devastation all around, Pastor Vincent led a Pastors Conference that attracted 500 pastors and workers January 27 30. This was possibly the first conference of any type after the earthquake, and for it to be held in those conditions was an extraordinary testimony of the resilience of the church that is in Haiti. A new MorningStar Fellowship of Ministries (MFM) chapter is also being formed in Haiti as a conduit for spiritual and physical aid to the country. With 90 percent of the infrastructure and buildings of the country destroyed, and at this writing, nearly a quarter of a million confirmed dead and multitudes more seriously injured, this may be the greatest opportunity for a nation to be reborn, and we are committing ourselves to this end. MorningStar has been training MFM members and MFC pastors in disaster relief, and now we are able to send support teams to help Pastor Vincent and his leaders in the healing and mobilization efforts. CISM, CERT, and IDRN trained counselors will be helping the hurting pastors and leaders in the recovery process. MorningStar friends, Frank Gresham, Tom Hayes, Joseph Michel, and others have given invaluable help to our teams and more teams are making plans and raising funds to help in a variety of ways, based on their giftings and callings. Times like this show the resiliency and diversity of gifts and callings rising to the surface and shining with Gods glory. We have also had many interns from MorningStar University, with Stephen Alls, CMM volunteers, and MorningStar Fellowship of Ministries, under Director Tom Hardiman, rallying the troops from all across America, Canada, and elsewhere. CMM/MS has mobilized our pastors and missionaries in the Dominican Republic to rally to the aid of her neighbors. Victor Rodriguez, Jose and Jacqeline Javier, and Veronica Freites are helping their friend, Pastor Vincent, in any way they can. This is the unity spoken of in Psalm 133 and John 17. CMM/MS is blessed in many nations to have friends and pastors, leaders, and church members rally together to pray for each other and connect and help each other in times of need. CMM/MSis an army of ambassadors from heaven sent to bring Gods will to earth as it is in heaven. Thank you for your generous prayers and support for Gods army marching toward eternity gathering saints all rejoicing in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Captain

The following article appeared in The Palm Beach Post and talks about the CMM/MS work in Haiti being led by Pastor Vincent, and illuminates some of the conditions that exist and questions that are being asked there.

Distressing Question Lingers in Haiti Churches: Why Did it Happen?


By Daphne Duret, The Palm Beach Post, Copyright, 2010 s the sun began to set an hour after the earthquake, all that Rev. Astrel Vincent could hear were the sounds of people screaming. The moans and wails filled the dusty air and surrounded both his church and the nearby city blocks, where he had begun the painstaking task of sifting through the rubble for survivors. He remembers thinking that this is what it must have sounded like when the Egyptians in the 11th chapter of Exodus awoke to find the firstborn sons of every household dead. Im telling you, I have never experienced something like this in my life, Vincent said. His church compound has become not only a house of refuge for the homeless, but also a place where the living have come looking for a reason to explain their suffering. It is the same quest for answers that brings people to the ruins of the Notre Dame Cathedral near downtown Port-au-Prince, where on Thursday groups of people stared woefully at the hollowed cathedral that had once been a national monument, crossed themselves and kept walking. There were more questions Saturday as hundreds gathered and wept at the funeral of Monsignor Joseph Serge Miot, archbishop of Port-au-Prince, and Vicar Charles Benoit, who also died in the January 12 quake. Of all the questions surrounding the quake that killed tens of thousands of people, left 1.5 million homeless and forever changed the lives of countless others, none is as simple as this: Why? It is a question that many of the faithful in Haitis predominantly Catholic religious community have been asking their leaders.

Many Theories, Rumors


Theories, it seems, are more abundant than food and water in this ravaged region. Some historians, and televangelist Pat Robertson, say a 1791 voodoo ceremony that invoked the devil sealed a pact among slaves to overthrow French rule. There has been some debate about whether the event happened, but the Rev. Edouard DuCarmel wasnt thinking about any of that Thursday as he handed packets of cookies and water to volunteers sweeping rubble from the front of Notre Dame. Thats not the God I know. My God is a God of love, he said. Gods thoughts are not our thoughts, but we better be careful not to manipulate the thoughts and intentions of God to fit our own theories. Vincent heard a rumor going around Cite Soleil, where he leads a 500-member church, that what happened was not an earthquake at all but a bomb that the U.S. had thrown on the nation. Vincent had yet to hear the reason behind that theory. Some have said it is a sign that the world is about to end, and God is reproaching sinners. Others have simply said the earthquake was God walking upon the earth to make His presence felt. To say any of these things are true would make my God powerless, Vincent said. God doesnt need to do any of these things to show His power. The Rev. Frantz Cole, an Episcopal priest who helps run a hospital in Leogane, said hes heard all the same theories. He listens patiently each time and never judges, he said. To that end, Cole has invited a geologist to speak to his parishioners during this mornings church service. He said this will help parishioners understand what happened on a natural, scientific level. There are so many lessons to be learned from this, Cole said. If there is a reason for this, it can be found in the things we can learn. DuCarmel said he tells his followers that the question of why it happened isnt as important as what they will do about it. In a land where men have lost wives, children, and houses, much like what happened in the biblical story of Job, DuCarmels message is closer to the biblical story of Gods answer to Joshua as he prayed for guidance after the death of Israelite leader Moses. If everybody who was sitting around giving their theories or asking for aid would instead go outside and pick up one piece of debris, the streets would be entirely clean, he said. Now is not the time to talk. Now is the time for action.

Taking Responsibility
Action will be the subject of Vincents messages for the next three months, he said, standing outside in the yard of the church filled with tents, an environment he said makes him feel like Moses with the Israelites in the wilderness. As he led a tour of his demolished elementary school Friday afternoon, he found two Muslims bowing toward Mecca, reciting prayers. After a while they rolled up their mats and greeted the pastor on their way out. We have all religions here now, Vincent said with a shrug. Vincent, whose church is the largest in this city of more than 800,000 people, said that on the road to rebuilding, humans will have to take a tough look at the role they played in the disaster. Though the earthquake itself was a natural occurrence,
18 The Morning STar E-Journal

Vincent said, poor building conditions, lack of respect for the earth, and other factors led to unnecessary loss of life. Vincent said he believes in Armageddon but doesnt believe the earthquake is a sign of the end. So he said he preaches to his congregation against ignorancea thing he said is mans greatest enemyand instead encourages his congregants not to keep looking back at the destruction that has befallen them. Has God cursed the people of Haiti? Vincent asks himself. He said he doesnt believe that. I tell them, as long as you live on this Earth there will be something going onfire, water, earthquakethese things will happen, he said. But if I die tomorrow, I believe I will have another life. If I believe this, then I have to look at an event like this and decide that I have to be strong.

Thousands Upon Thousands Touched in Haiti


by Jorge Parrott
All Scripture references NKJV unless indicated.

isasters can bring out the worst and the best in us. Thank God for the hearts of many from around the world in the last month since the Haiti earthquake. Hundreds of organizations and thousands of Americans continue to lead the way in offering disaster relief. We are thankful for the $15,000 generator in place at Vincents school and also for the used truck for Vincent. Great compassion poured out, and we cannot even calculate how much. However, estimates have been revised to more than $500,000 in food, medicine, materials, tents, rope, and tarps, which have been dropped off at Vincents. By Gods grace, 1,000 to 2,000 people have been fed every day for a month with approximately 35,000 to 50,000 meals served. One hundred percent of the funds go to earthquake victims, so if you have given to Haiti through MorningStar, CMM, The Order of St. John,or other organizations, know that thousands and thousands of lives have been touched and many saved by your love. Each is precious in the eyes of God and us too. Over half of the people who have been to Haiti through MorningStar/CMM are making plans to return a second time. This is Gods army rising up and putting action to their faith with love being released. We are still in Phase I respondersmedically licensed or disaster trained and certified, being recommended at this time, due to security issues. Two high-level security experts will be giving us their assessment soon. A doctor was telling people recently that the intel he was getting from MorningStar/ CMM missionaries on the ground in Haiti was better than the U.S. government.We do not pretend to offer anywhere near the level of expertise of information our government offers. We just know we can trust our friends around the world. Whether by voice, text, or email, our embedded missionaries are faithful to share their hearts and experiences. Gods fulfillment of the Great Commission involves adventurous warriors going to the ends of the earth to reach one more soul. On the way to that end, deep relationships are made as hearts become as one. Networks and strategic alliances are made, which include a strong and intentional desire to share all God shows us, equipping the saints, helping the hurting and hopeless, and discipling the nations. With CMMs native pastors, missionaries, teachers, and so on in many nations around the world which are already embedded, the work of the warriors will go forward in a rapidly advancing rate. We were made for such a time as this. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you (Psalm 91:7).I see a global army. It will get bloody, but the glory of our living God overshadows all these temporary light afflictions. Focused hunger for God and His purposes impel us to risk it all, knowing all things are new, old things are passed away. As God releases His dreams and visions into our dreams and visions, we cling to the solid band of brothers kindred family here and abroad who fit into the misfits category as shared recently by retired General Jerry Boykin, one of the founders
The Morning Star E-Journal 21

of the Delta Force. When asked what type of soldiers made the best Delta Force members, and he answered, (and I paraphrase), those who did not seem to fit in with the regular troops. Just like Davids mighty men of valor, we see many who are hungry for God who did not fit into the main stream of churchesmany of those are doing great good and benefiting the body of Christ immeasurably in their own unique way. Heaven is a big place and I believe we are all in for a big surprise because of who God is. Some of Gods Delta Force are just so left/right brained they are misunderstoodso creative they think normal is insanity, or they have been hurt by churches, betrayed, cut off by families and friends, and a host of other reasons. Many of our CMM/MorningStar missionaries have also been hurt, abused, stymied, unwelcomed, or did not fit the general mold of other organizations expectations, standards, or styles. Again, there are many fine organizations and denominations doing their part in fulfilling the Great Commission. Just like Jesus ragtag bunch of disciples, Gods army may look like chaos. However, when the Holy Spirit helps us in the completion of our destinies and callings, a peace comes to the storm and something supernatural takes place at a sub-atomic, hyper-energized, levelan inexplicable chemical reaction occurs and miracles happen. We do not try and explain it. We just are ever thankful for our Papa God for making it happen His way. Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force, whether it be in intercession, worship, missions, disaster relief, education, or any of the seven mountains. Theocracy does not require democracy, just the few, the humble, and the obedient uniting for the kingdom through the ministry of reconciliation and restoration. Our missionaries in Haiti and the Dominican Republic all come from the misfit class. Maybe that is why our doctor friend said we had better intel than the CIA. These dedicated servants all have been abandoned, shipwrecked, overlooked, or abused. (CMM had welcomed these warriors in over the last ten years as we strive prophetically to see in others what God sees in them). In this time of crisis in biblical proportions, they rallied together selflessly to lead the way in helping the injured, those who lost loved ones, moving dead bodies, locating family members, and doing what comes instinctively when disastrous circumstances are thrust upon you. Who is ready for that level of crisis? Come with us and we will show you the future. Rick Joyner, founder of MorningStar Ministries, and now on the CMM board, often speaks of the restoration process spoken of in Galatians 6:1. This heart of restoration of the warriors is the pulse of God. The wounds, rejection, the very scars of life, are often the area where the Lord gives healing power and authority to flow through us and minister to others. This life is training for reigning with the Captain of the hosts of the army. Pastor Vincent, an orphan himself, now caring for orphans, told me in late January before the first Pastors Conference held after the earthquake that he must tell our leaders to be strong even when they dont feel like it. Three hundred were expected and five hundred showed up. All of our team members from the U.S. have told me what a saint and general in Gods army Pastor Vincent is. Victor Rodriguez, from the Dominican Republic, has been a close friend of Vincents for many years, and both he and Vincent have worked together in many areas from conferences, to hosting teams, to prior disaster relief from hurricanes, such as 2008s four hurricanes that hit Haiti.
22 The Morning STar E-Journal

Pastor Veronica Freites of Palmera de Ocoa, D.R. is a native Dominican who lived in the U.S., and once her children were grown, answered the call to return to her native land as a gifted evangelist, worship leader, preacher, and teacher. She has hosted many teams in the D.R. such as midwives, medical teams, short-term mission teams of all kinds, and has planted several Hispanic churches and two Haitian churches. She is loved by many for her bold faith, love for all people, and passion for the lost. Pastors Jose and Jacqueline Javier live in Santo Domingo, D.R., and they have helped by picking up our team workers and having them stay in their home. They pastor a church planted by Veronica in an inner city area of Santo Domingo, D.R., across the street from a government posted sign labeling a poverty stricken area, the devils sewer.One time when my wife, Anna Marie, was there, an eight-year old girl came forward for prayer for her grandmother, who had been bitten by a rat, then passed away two days later from the infection. Ten thousand people live along a creekbed with sewage flowing through it. Ramshackle scraps make homes for these people who said no other churches would dare come into their midst. Many hearts are waiting to be touched with that precious Love called Jesus. Jose and Jacqueline could not have children, until they asked Anna Marie and I to pray for them, believing God is able. They have a child now, thank God. So what will the end times look like? Many believe we have not seen anything yet. God is linking, building, strengthening, and waking us up. If the joy of the Lord is our strength, then we need to get much stronger. The Lord spoke to me just ten days or so after the earthquake that what He was doing in the Breakout or New Move at MorningStar, He would do in Haiti. As I have been helping with our efforts in Haiti, the Lord has been revealing to many of us visions of the New Haiti, founded on a love of the truth with righteousness prevailing. This is an amazing opportunity for the body of Christ worldwide to shape the future of Haiti. No one wants to see the past repeated in Haiti. We thank God for the reports of witch doctors and their children on their knees the day of the earthquake and since then. We know many angels are dancing in heaven over the multitudes in Haiti coming to know You, Jesus. Will there be fathers in the faith for these beautiful people?Will you go or send someone who can? Soon, we will be sending resources and materials for discipleship and firm foundations to our brethren hungry for knowing God in fullness and power. Lord, give Your people clarity. Holy Spirit, help us be a part in building The New Haiti, according to Your will Lord, in Jesus name. We have a Haiti Relief Mission Statement that keeps us focused on how to seek eternal change in Haiti through our friend and missionary, Pastor Astrel Vincent, and his three hundred or so pastors.
