THE VOICE...

Praise the Lord,

I know some of you have been wondering what has happened to the Newsletter or the "Webservant."

Surprisingly, I was wondering the same thing too. I went through a time of seeking the Lord and it led me in all types of places and experiences, willingly. It has helped to mold and make me better. God will never be mock, he that soweth to the spirit must reap spiritual things.

For those of you that are recieving this newsletter for the first, here are some testimonies from previous letters (please forgive me for not sending you the welcome/invitation letter and info as I usually do before you get any newsletter):

"Encouraged to see what the Lord is facilitating you to do in His kingdom. Continue doing an excellent job and duty for the Kingdom. God speed."

--Evangelist K. Smith, Toronto, Canada

"Bless God, It is a great blessing to be sitting hear and reading these woderful words. Keep up the good work. I would like you to send your mails to my two children in the states."

-- B.Brown, St. Ann

"Thanks for your newsletter I have learned much from your teachings."

-- F. Calvin, unknown

"Praise the Lord Jesus, I must confess that this ministry has been a blessing to me. 'I must confess that your last letter got me so uplifted in spirit that I can off the computer shouting praises to God.' Please continue with this ministry it has been a blessing to me. May God continue to guide you."

--R. Brown, Jamaica

"your email is well-worth to read. I've visited your site. They are great. Thank you for the newsletter. God bless you, And keep up the good work!"

-- S. Tirtabudi, Newcastle, Australia.

"I received your e-mail. I have also visited your Web site. You have been doing a fine job-keep it up."

--Bishop H. M, New York, USA

"It gives me great joy to sight your letter and website contacting me on my e-mail address."

-- Rev.Vijay Daniel Shinde,New Bombay, India

One of the main reasons for me being off the scene for a while is that I had to learn what the bible calls "Justification." Not read about it, but by experiential learing. I thought I was doing well and "on my way." Only to find out from the Lord that before anyone can operate in any capacity of ministry, they must have a clear understanding of what Justification means - none par. Sorry to say most apostolics, lack this understanding.

It means much more than approval. It guards the very core of one's salvation. It also mean that if you're broke, falsely accused, rejected, homeless, friendless, confused, etc, you're still his child and still very much saved and effective.

I remember going through this 'period' (what a term to call it) at school and I was led by the Lord to do a school ministry but felt insecure because of the state I was in. I was so preoccupied with the enormity of my condition that I didn't even realize that the college had sought it fit to make me apart of the student government and even opted for me to speak publicly.

However, when finally led by the Lord to this School bible study, he told me to speak on baptism for the remission of sins. I hesitated because I was at church all night, in the Lord and my presence wasn't the most environmentally friendly (for a while too). But by justification, I remember what the Lord said in a similar instance, "remember who you are."

So I opened my mouth and clearly begun from the gospel to the Epistle on baptism. The other Leader and staff advisor came out with strong resistance being teachers of 'beliefism' alone for salvation. Nevertheless, the unsaved person in question couldn't resist the words and opted to be baptised in Jesus name immediately. I told her she had to wait until tonight. She kept calling me until she was baptized later that week and now seek the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

I have had similar opportunities like these to speak God's word but because of the condition I was in, I thought God must have wanted me to be quiet for a while, or worst off, I thought no one would ever listen to me. I had fail to realize that he was teaching me one of the most fundamental and key parts of our salvation, that every born again believer should know - Justification. The lessons that I learnt are invaluable and I can now stand on my own with Jesus.

Space would not allow me to explain the meaning of Justification, so I've prepared an unedited pre-internet radio broadcast that was done on justification. I must admit, it's not a short recording. But if you're save and feel incomplete, you must listen this audio file. One of the worst separation in the history of man is not the church and state, but the church and the state some of its members are in.

If you're ostracized, abused verbally, forsaken, insecure, broken, depressed, confused, oppressed, suppressed, have not a clue where God is, can't seem to fit, can't seem to get that marriage working or that single life satisfied, can't seem to get that ministry fulfilled, often bewildered, often feel alone, can't seems to make ends meet, everything says give up-God don't care, and this illusion is experienced while being born again; let me leave you with this, "remember who you are."

Some how you have fallen, disapproved, disgusted, shamed, seems like you're on the brink of madness, all you really want to do is get away, run, fight or retaliate, "remember who you are."

Stuck between decisions, making stupid mistakes, know one seems to understand you nor your situation, coming to church in masks, facades and role playing, feeling insecure, doubtful and often fears, "remember who you are."

If you are sick, broke, and verbally slaughtered by your peers and leaders, yet still abiding under the shadow of the almighty, "remember who you are."

Now are ye wash, now are ye sanctified, now are ye cleansed; "behold, now are ye the sons of God and it doeth yet not appear what ye shall be, but..."

Opal Notes

Believe it or Not?!
   -------------------------
"In August 1998, a silicon chip was implanted in my arm, allowing a computer to monitor me as I moved through the halls and offices of the Department of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, just west of London, where I've been a professor since 1988. My implant communicated via radio waves with a network of antennas throughout the department that in turn transmitted the signals to a computer programmed to respond to my actions. At the main entrance, a voice box operated by the computer said "Hello" when I entered; the computer detected my progress through the building, opening the door to my lab for me as I approached it and switching on the lights. For the nine days the implant was in place, I performed seemingly magical acts simply by walking in a particular direction" - Prof. Warick (  www.wired.com )
