Dear Friends,
“Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God” – Psalm 87:3.
Today I am 87. I plan to read Psalm 87 daily for the next twelve months. I have read Psalm 86 for the past year. This is a commitment I have, for some reason, chosen to make. As I read Psalm 86 yesterday, I am reminded that this has been a roller coaster year for Louise and me. We have had Covid once, if not twice. Louise has had a serious thyroid condition that caused her to lose almost twenty pounds I feared it would be cancer, but thankfully she is well. That said, I am in good health and am busy, if not busier, than I was twenty years ago. We have so much to thank God for. Our son TR works full-time with me, travels with me while Louise has the company of our grandsons.
I preach monthly for Times Square Church in New York. Pastor Tim Dilena has opened doors for us that we never dreamed possible. I do sixty second tweets daily. Speak all over the U.S.A. as always. I am on TBN UK weekly. I write for Christianity magazine in the UK and Decision here at home. We go to England for ten days in October to be with Dr. Michael Youssef who celebrates twenty years of Leading the Way in Britain. I am on his European Board.
My book Prophetic Integrity has been very well received all over the world. Please pray that it will do some good! By this I mean that it will bring some unity among Christians. I believe that the Charismatic Movement is under God’s judgment; that God has sent a lying spirit to the overwhelming majority of prophetic people. Please pray that some very proud people will show humility and honesty. Pray that Evangelicals will be less harsh with Charismatics. Pray that Charismatic leaders will climb down from defensiveness and will take the lead in pleading with God for mercy.
Paul said, “A wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries” (1 Cor.16:9). I feel that I can say this too. I am now writing a book called “Pleasing God”. After that I am writing one that I want to call “The Big Elephant”. I want to write a book on “The Voice of Jesus”. I have been asked to write a book on Ishmael and Isaac, a position I take that gives hope for the greatest awakening ever seen.
God bless you all.
Much love,
R T and Louise and family.
