Pam and I would like to welcome you to the 5-10 minute Micro-Sermons we have put together to help you focus more on heavenly things than earthly things. Earthly things bombard us every day and cause us to fear and worry to the point they rob us of our faith. On the other hand heavenly things cause us to focus on the promises of God and expand our faith.
“When God said that knowledge and time would speed up in the last days (Daniel 12:4), He meant it for travel, sports, business, and all of creation, but most of all for Christianity. Christians are the least excused to fulfill God’s spiritual principles which apply to all of creation...so Lord bring on the revelation and knowledge that you promised that we might catch-up to your plan!” ~Michael L. Mathews
"Great teaching attracts people to the teacher; but revelation attracts people to Jesus" ~David Hairabedian
We are pleased to announce the recording and archive of an exciting Interview with World Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. During the interview Bonnke shares His thoughts on Evangelism, the Church, and the importance of staying with the simplicity of the Gospel found in Matthew 4:23. Bonnke's humility and simplicity has allowed him to be part of over 50 Million people accepting the salvation message during the past 10 years.
During the Interview Reinhard Bonnke prayed a simple, yet powerful prayer for Wisconsin. The prayer was ... "I pray for Wisconsin and I thank you Lord that your cloud of glory may descend and people will be convicted of their sin--of sin, righteousness, and judgment. As the Holy Spirit has been sent, I pray that He may be active and that people will see your glory, receive their salvation, and also all the other gifts that you bestow upon humankind. I pray that it may happen and that you may send men and women to bring it about. In Jesus name, Amen."
This prayer can be heard as part of the full interview. We encourage you to listen and agree that Wisconsin is being prepared for the long awaited and powerful manifestation of God's Glory, just as Bonnke prayed.
In addition to the Bonnke Interview Mark Halvorsen hosted three other interviews with Buki Fagbemi, Desmond Rose, and a final interview between Mark, Pam and I, to discuss the significance of the Bonnke interview and the need for a 'Salvation" message.

Week 4 - The Power of the Tongue - Sedated - Have you seen people lately who are sedated or are completely speechless (tongue-tied). This seems to be a more common occurrence with all the stress and worry that people are encountering. It is important for people to know that the Bible stats that ‘Life and Death are in the power of the tongue…and they that use it will eat he fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:21. When we are sedated or tongue-tied the message of hope and life is squashed. Listen to why God has us speak up and use our tongue to give life.
Week 3 - The Local Church Defined Better as the Body of Christ Many modern day churches have added to scripture and applied the word 'Local' to the word church in an effort to make sure people support a local congregation. However, scripture never uses the word local in conjunction with the word church. In fact when the church is referenced it is usually for a geographical area. Listen and hear how the term Body of Christ may be a clearer definition of a group of believers who call themselves a church.
Week 2 - Fear is the Root Cause of Many Issues.Many people are frustrated with the issues in our day and have spent years speaking against these issues while missing the real cause. God's Word reveals that fear is the root cause of many of these issues and states that in our day, men's hearts would fail them for fear. We need to be careful we are praying for the right things and not only the symptoms. Just as faith manifests itself in people; fear also manifests itself in things such as control, anger, depression, etc. Listen and hear about the control of fear and how it cancels out faith.
Week 1 - Lawlessness at Work. Did you know that in II Thessalonians 2:6-7 that the Apostle Paul states that the mystery of lawlessness would take place and be revealed before Christ's Return? We see every day people complaining that there were no regulations in place to prevent the current financial issues…could this be the very lawlessness mentioned in scripture?
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." ~Matthew 13:45-46
