Featured Article - Great Testimony
I cannot tell you how many e-mails I get through the website.Sometimes it is overwhelming. There is such a great cry for ministry, especially in most of the African countries, India, Pakistan, and Asian countries. Almost daily we receive requests to come and bring our teams and minister. In response to these, I try to reply and send them an e-copy of one of my books to encourage them in the Lord. Explaining why we cannot come to them is very difficult at times. My heart just breaks, and I so want to say we are coming. That is why your gifts are so important. Through your finical support of Decision Ministries we can go and minister to some of these precious people. They so desperately need a team to come and build them up, meet some of their physical needs, and bring a fresh word of faith that will give them hope and strength to live on. Your gifts make that possible. Won’t you please partner with us today! Just go to the “Partner With Us” tab on the website and safely use your credit card, or find our mailing address information in that same location. Pray for the teams as they go out and ask God if you should be a team member. Change your life while you are changing theirs!On Saturday, August 26, 2006, I received an e-mail that I want to share with you. I gave a word of knowledge to a pastor in Kenya, Africa and here is the sequence of e-mail communications.I just heard the Lord speak this into my spirit, so I gave it to theastor. He was one of four pastors that I responded to that day.
--------------------------------------- 8/18/06 Pastor, do you have a young daughter who is in need of medical surgery?If not, who are you praying for that fits that description?I have seen in my prayers a compassionate physician coming soon to do that surgery for her and bring her into full recovery and restoration. God bless you and your church in Jesus' Name.Fred HughesGreetings in the Holy name of Jesus Christ.I thank God for you and what God is doing through you and the way he is using you.Thank you very, much for your prayers. Well, pastor really I have a burden of begging God for this dear one who is under going surgery in Nairobi Hospital and she has been there for two and half months. It has been a great burden especially on the side of finances because this is my brother’s daughter and our family is unable to raise $2500 for the surgery and to clear the bill. Please remember us in your daily prayers .God is wonderful in revealing things.God bless.Pastor Onesmus. A short time later (Aug. 26th) I receive this letter from Pastor Onesmus. I greet you in the Holy name of our Dear King Jesus. My Dear Fred, You are a prophet!! The daughter who was in Nairobi Hospital now she is out, she was discharged yesterday. God opened ways and we got the money which was needed for the bills. Brother my wife Jane and the members of my church want to see you. I want to meet you face to face. What can I do to see you brother? Here we see that God used the principles of the prophet's reward to extend life and also create provision through obedience - If you would partner with a prophet whether you are experiencing famine or not - you can be guaranteed that there will be no lack and also no shortage of refreshment and a continued flow of revelation and anointing. I and my ministry, we want to partner with you. Pastor Onesmus Mark Omesa My reply to the pastor’s wonderful praise letter and testimony is below.How wonderful our God is! We will meet face to face one day, whether it be on earth or in heaven, I know not.But we can celebrate our wonderful Lord for this great thing He has done. It is so amazing the way God has chosen to give all of us a wonderful testimony of what great things He has done. "They overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony." (Rev. 12:11) There is no one who can ever take this great testimony away from you, or me, or your church, or your brother, his wife and little girl. We all have a new overcoming testimony to tell. The testimony will cause faith and hope to rise up in others and in all things give glory to our God."God is Love and God is Lovely!" Fred Hughes

Prophetic Countdown - Israel in the Cross Marks

Israel in the cross marks and the signs of the time
Most everyone who is a Bible student will admit that something of Biblical proportion could be in the making. Israel has been targeted and has responded to Hizbullah's attacks. War raged for a few weeks; then came a cease-fire and then not! What was accomplished by whom? Well, as usual, there is a bit of confusion on that point. (On any point for that matter!)
Mat 10:22 "And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Mat 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Between Matthew 10:22 and Matthew 24:14, add the account of Luke 21:9-13.
Luke 21:9 "But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately."
Luke 21:10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Luke 21:11 "And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
Luke 21:12 "But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake.
Luke 21:13 "But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.
Jesus was talking to Jews! Verse 12 describes the Holocaust and Verse 13 defines the fact that they have a testimony.
Verses 12 & 13 may have already happened! So, we could be in verse 10 or 11 on the time-line to The End!
Verse 10 says nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom. A nation is a sovereign government over a group of people, usually defined by geographical boundaries. A kingdom is a dominion; a kingdom is not geographically confined. Ideologies, religions, mindsets - kingdoms or dominions. Example: Radical Islam VS. Canada or United States.
Verse 11 breaks down to a sequence of three additional distintive indicators of what will happen before The End comes.
1. great earthquakes in various places, and
2. famines and pestilences; and there will be
3. fearful sights and great signs from heaven
Folks, we are still seeing earthquakes, and we are beginning to see some serious famines and a few really frightening pestilences. Scientists have just undiscovered Pluto and discovered that the sun's sunspots are going bi-polar on us! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3637973/site/newsweek/
Another astronomical event is taking place at your local Walmart. It seems that Walmart is going rainbow! That's right, America and Sam: WALMART IS GOING GAY! Please read this article from Agape Press. (Fearful Sights! (perhaps not) The Gay and Lesbian agenda is constantly imposing itself on you and your family. The far left will not stop. Therefore, we must take action, but keep this in mind: "hate the sin, and love the sinner!")

Praise God for Mat 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then (after that) the end will come.
Sounds like we need to be preaching the kingdom! By the way, we have nothing to fear about the end coming. That simply means good news for any believer. We will step into the promised land of eternity with our Lord Jesus. So do not fear The End. We need to know the season of time in which we live. If you see the sun setting in the west, you know the day is well spent and there are a few things to do before night falls. In the same fashion, we need to finish the course. We need to preach this gospel of the kingdom in all the world as a witness to all the nations.

Decision One - Love God!
Most people would say they love God, even if they don't know Him! So what do you say? Do you really love God? Decision one is to love God. Mat 22:37 Jesus said to him, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."
Mat 22:38 "This is the first and great commandment."
1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
So why do we have a challenge loving God?
Because you do not believe that God loves you!
You don't believe God loves you enough to heal you! Maybe someone else, but not you! You don't believe God loves you enough to deliver you from.............whatever! Why? Because you do not love Him! That is right! You don't!
If you really love God, you know Him. If you really know Him, then you know that He will do........ whatever!
Decision One is to LOVE GOD and discover who He is! That will help you with everything else!
