The last thing Jesus said is the last thing we do!
The last thing Jesus said to His disciples and all believers was: "Go into all the world and preach the good news...making disciples of all nations." (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:18-20)
Should anyone among you want to send me to preach the gospel to a nation in the 10/40 window where Christ is not yet known, I will happily go on your behalf and put my body in harm's way, endure bad food, parasitic infections, uncomfortable living conditions, murderous anti-American Muslims and go with joy to share the love and life of Christ where He is not known (Romans 15:20).
I also have a nonprofit IRS tax exempt organization for charitable contributions:
Dream-Maker Ministries
PO Box 684
Goldenrod, FL 32733
paypal.com - account is revivingnations@yahoo.com
Beyond a charitable contribution, you will receive a YouTube video from the country to which you send me to preach the gospel, hear testimonies of miracles as the Holy Spirit moves through me (because you sent me, so "through us") to uplift Christ and impart newness of life (Hebrews 2:4; Romans 8).
If everyone adopts a country in the 10/40 window to pray for the salvation of souls and the Word of God to go forth, I believe we can see disciples raised and churches planted throughout the countries in this unreached region of the earth.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). What are we seeking and doing with our lives?
Adopt a nation and give birth to a spiritual legacy for generations and eternity, bringing souls into the kingdom of God.
Why should we repeatedly hear the good news of Christ (which we often take for granted) when so many have never heard it once?
When you all get to heaven and stand before Jesus and He asks you, "Why didn't you go overseas and preach the gospel?" What will be your excuse? Even the Mormons who don't have the Holy Spirit, neither the Word of truth go 2 years to proselytize the world with their doctrine of devils.
Mine is money - because I have need of funds to go, although I be willing to do so and have endless invitations to minister throughout the 10/40 window.
Or we can go together: "Here am I send me!" (Isaiah 6:8)

God of the Jews and Christians: Reconciling Faith and Differing Religious Views
When a mother recently asked how to teach her son about God when she is Jewish and her husband is Christian, I replied saying the following.
The good news is Jesus Christ was a Jew, as were His apostles and the majority of His disciples during His earthly ministry.
Beginning and building upon your Judeo-Christian values is a great place to start. Even the apostle Paul (whose ministry was primarily to the Gentiles) acknowledged the Judaic roots from which Christianity originates and is to this day upheld (read chapter Romans 11 in the Bible).
I journeyed to Israel, the land of the Bible, for the first time last year and enjoyed it thoroughly. There are many wonderful spiritual tours you can take concerning the ministry of Christ and thereby simultaneously connect with both your Jewish and Christian roots.
Jesus Himself strictly kept and adhered to the law of Moses, fulfilling it entirely. The difference is the Judaic law is a shadow of the substance of better things promised by the Jewish prophets in Christ.
God spoke through the Jewish prophet Ezekiel saying, "A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit I will put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments and do them" (Ezekiel 36:26-27).
Christ was a child of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18), born of the virgin Mary as foretold by the Jewish prophets. Christ came not to fight and wrestle over religion and the many rules that man-made religionists impose upon people, but rather to bring about a spiritual new birth within the heart of mankind (John 3:1-17) and thereby build a spiritual kingdom (Luke 17:20-21; Romans 14:17) to bring heaven to earth.
Therefore the letter of religion kills, but the Spirit and heart of the Creator imparts love, life and liberty (see 2Corinthians 3:6).
Transcend religion and tradition to taste and see for yourself that God is good!
Religion can be boring and constraining, whereas the Creator is always fun, loving, liberating and life-giving.
You will best learn and teach your son (and yourself) theology, as you happily travel together to explore your world, have fun experientially and rejoice in the Creator and creation making new discoveries daily.

Unhappy Christians in North America: Bored, Miserable, Missing the Mark and Not Prospering
During my Bible reading the Holy Spirit answered a question a disgruntled Christian recently posed to me earlier in the day:
"Why am I still sick? I have fasted, prayed, used proper nutrition, cleansed, etc. What else can I do?"
The Lord said: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)
Submitting to God is not just in reading the Bible, prayer and fasting but in the entirety of your life. It has been said if Christ is not Lord of ALL, He is not Lord at all.
Many Christians call Jesus Lord, but dare not go to the uttermost parts of the earth to share and speak His Word to souls perishing for eternity. Yet Jesus commanded His disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel, this being His final words to His disciples (Matthew 28:20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8).
Yet North American Christians use Christ to "be blessed", but thereafter leave Christ and His great commission (which ultimately is a divine commandment) by the waistside as they pursue their own agenda and will.
It is very hard to have God's blessing without first embracing God's heart and will for the world (John 3:16). Most North Americans are so in love with and worshipping the dirt they live on, they couldn't bare for a second living in a foreign country to save souls for the glory of God.
Meanwhile they suffer for not seeking first the kingdom of God and the will of the Lord. Yet if they would humble themselves and do so, all they desire could easily, graciousy and generously be given to them of the Lord (Matthew 6:33; Psalm 37:4).
"God who did not spare His only Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32)
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might be rich" (2Corinthians 8:9).
Yet as long as you lack the heart of God for the nations of the world for whom Christ died, neither you nor Christ shall be satisfied (Isaiah 53:11; Hebrews 2:10).
The pleasure of the Lord however shall always abound with prosperity (Isaiah 53:10) and the Spirit of God within obedient and willing disciples does always bring prosperity (Acts 5:32; Isaiah 1:19; Acts 8:29-30; 2Chronicles 24:20).
How can we not prosper when we align ourselves and partner with the God of glory for whom are all things and by whom are all things?
Yet if you reject and forsake the commandments of the Lord you cannot prosper (2Chronicles 24:20).
The willing and obedient however delight in the Lord (Isaiah 1:19) and happily follow Christ (Mark 1:17) right into their personal promised land full of wealth and rejoicing (Acts 20:32; Ephesians 1:11,18; Romans 8:17).
Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy Name, Thy kingdom, Thy will be done." (Matthew 6:9-10) Yet most Christians live for their name, fame and self-centered will wherein God's glory and blessing is never found.
And yet we arrogantly get angry at God when we are inwardly and physically ill and in prosperity do not abound.

Demon Possession among Christians? Can Christians be Demon Possessed?
It never ceases to amaze me how many Christians write me claiming they are demon possessed. Perhaps they are oppressed, but rarely do I believe they are possessed.
If you have given your heart to Christ and received the Holy Spirit to live and abide in you, possession by demons is nearly impossible unless you depart from Christ and open the door to demonic attack by reason of your disobedience.
Yet when you are being afflicted and tormented by demons, what difference does it make if the demons are in you or on you? You just want freedom and peace.
To that I say to all Christians, renew your mind with God's Word and attend church regularly.
Where do you go to church? Like people, like priest (Hosea 4:9). God's people are destroyed by lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6) since most prefer watching TV over reading the Bible. Hence they remain ignorant, bound and inwardly bruised.
If you are unwilling to read the Bible and attend church regularly, my prayers will only temporarily remove your demons. You must find your spiritual authority in Christ and fight the fight of faith yourself.
Since most people struggling in this manner are obviously too lazy to invest in their spiritual well being daily and prefer to "be prayed for" I allow them to receive prayer at church (from me or whoever else is ministering).
But I don't let them eat up my valuable time discussing their devils, woes and sorrows.
In Christ is glory with fullness of joy!
Live in the Spirit! That means don't just visit the Spirit once a week in church.
Yet lazy believers abound in this self-centered and entertainment mesmerized generation.
Moses had a similar problem with the children of Israel who did not want to go to the mountain to be with God. They said to Moses, "You go talk to God and tell us what He says."
For such lazy people wanting counseling and divine insight without a personal price, I offer life coaching sessions for a fee, which most can't afford as my time is valuable.
If people are too lazy to read the Bible and spend time with God in prayer, why should I allow them to waste my time?
If you want to grow in God and get free from your demons read the Bible. If the Bible alone isn't sufficient for your entertainment addiction, read my book "Waves of God" and watch my videos to strengthen your faith.
Eventually I hope you can reconnect with Christ and become a mature believer able to stand on your own two feet.
