I am very excited about meeting Steve Stewart a couple of weeks ago. He takes missions groups to India (among other nations), and uses healing prayer on the streets to transform lives and bring people to Christ! For me, the best part of this is that he trains all who go with him how to do this and everyone on the missions team prays for the sick, and everyone see God's healing power flow through them to rescue lives and draw people to Christ. It is not a one man show. It is a training expedition!

I just received this email from Gill Ministries. Dr. A.L. Gill is a world changer for the kingdom of God. We are blessed to use his curriculum in our school, Christian Leadership University. Let's make sure everyone votes on Tuesday!

"The legacy we leave behind for our children, grandchildren, and this great nation is crucial. As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last. I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God."

I will vote for the most pro-life candidate, because God hates the shedding of innocent blood (Prov. 6:16,17).

I will vote for the most pro-Israel candidate, because God blesses those who bless Israel & curses those who don't... (Gen. 12:3).

I will vote for the most pro-debt reduction candidate, because the borrower is servant to the lender (Prov. 22:7).

I will vote for the most pro-work candidate because God says if a man does not work, let him not eat (2 Thess. 3:10).

Guess what: America is a profoundly Christian nation! And now we have the statistics to prove it. Click here for a map which gives you the percentage of Christians and all faiths in each state. Simply roll your cursor over each state to learn more. Very interesting! Isn't it nice to see the true facts?

I am thrilled to be able to introduce Karen Barnes, who I met this summer at a “Counseled By God” seminar at Hunter's Point Celebration Center in Lebanon, Tennessee. She has a wonderful ministry of introducing children to encounters with the Holy Spirit called "Fire for the Nations." Karen is ready to share with you the methods, strategies, and stories of success she is having as she ministers with children around the world. You can even send your kids on ministry trips with Karen as she releases the power of the Holy Spirit through children worldwide.

Question: I had a question posed to me that I couldn't answer and I would like to get your take on it. A friend recently asked, “Why doesn't the new birth absolve generational sins and curses in a person's life when they come to Jesus? How can they continue when we have been forgiven of all and purchased with a price? Why wouldn't the blood of Jesus cleanse us of that?" That's a fair question and coming from someone who is, as Tommy Tenney would say, a God-chaser. I know that she was sincere and trying to understand. Can you help me with this? I have seen generational sins broken and people set free from them. I just don't know how to answer this one aspect of the subject.  Keith Stone, Dayton Ohio
