I agree wholeheartedly that God can and does speak to his people. I am 74 years old and on two occassions in my life He has spoken to me which seemed like a voice coming from a person sitting next to me in a car and on another occassion it seemd as if He was standing next to me. Both occassions were warnings of something that was to happen and they both came true, one within 3 days and theother within the year. I was so in awe of these moments with God that I could not think, or talk or move.
In looking back at these two events in my life, I can only thank God and give Him all the praise due to his Holy name.
God is still in the miracle business also, if I may take the time to tell you what has happened to me recently. In 2000, I had 6 heart bypasses done. As a result of the surgery, the incision developed scar tissue which is called keloids. Beside those keloids, large blister like things formed, 4 on each side of the scar. This area was so painful that the weight of a t shirt would cause me to have pain. I have had these things since 2000 and about 3 weeks ago I went to bed one night and is my custom, I lay in bed on my back and started praying. I was aware of my t shirt lying against these things(the blisters which were about the size of the end of my thumb.) I was aware of the pain and I just asked the Lord to remove those things from me as I had them for over 8 years and they were getting to be very painful.
I rolled over and went to sleep, woke up the next morning and the blisters were still there. This was on a Friday morning. I forgot about them and do not really know if they were there on Saturday or not. I woke up Sunday morning and after taking a shower, I stepped out and was drying off when I looked in the mirrow. I could not see well as I had my glasses off but after drying off, put my glasses off and saw the blisters were gone. I went to another bathroom which has a pull out mirrow which magnifies on one side and looked at my chest and no sign of the blisters. No more pain. I walked in to my wife and asked her to see if there was anything different and she could not see anything until I mentioned it to her. She knows how bad those things were as does 3 different physicians who said nothing could be done for them. Also my two children, my two granddaughters and several friends who have seen them. This past Friday I related my story to a couple who prays with us on Friday noon every week. He is a physician and they were both overwhelmed with what has happened to me. About all I can do is praise God and thank Him over and over and over and over.
Thanks for listening to me, Kenneth Hall

Dear Pastor Mark
Good Morning! I'm running as fast as I can to get out to the pastor's prayer meeting we have had with local pastors for years - every Wednesday at noon!! I may talk to you more about that later.
BUT my word to you this morning, my friend, is "DO NOT BE DISMAYED. DO NOT BE DISHEARTENED! I BELIEVE YOU DID HEAR FROM THE LORD REGARDING GOV. SARAH PALIN! When I read it the first time, I was hoping the 'set season' for Esther to come forth was this election - but I wondered if it was yet for an appointed time!
Barry Soetoro (Barak Hussein Obama) is just 'president elect'. It is not over by any means!! I've heard prophetic words that this month of November there was going to be vindication and many, many things revealed and we would have lots for which to be thankful on Thanksgiving Day!!
Be blessed of the Lord - and rise up! The set time and the season of the Lord is upon us!!
Couldn't leave until I sent this!

As many of you probably were, I was up until the wee hours of this morning but then I heard some things in my spirit this morning! GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE! He isn't 'Humpty-Dumpty'! He didn't fall off His throne with the events of last evening!
Remember, we have a 'president ELECT' not yet a 'president'! God in His foreknowledge knew about the outcome of November 4, 2008 when He created this beautiful world in which we live! It could be the 'church's' finest hour!
Isaiah 60:1-2 1 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.
II Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Joshua 1:9 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
I Chronicles 28:20 20 And David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God—my God—will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.
(We still have work to do!!)
Isaiah 41:10 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
Psalm 27:1 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 56:3 3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
John 16:33 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
I John 4:4 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Because HE has overcome the world and we are of HIM, we are "WORLD OVERCOMERS"
Just wanted to give you the "Peace" of His Word this morning!!
OUR GOD IS FAITHFUL
Blessings to all!

Mr Arnold,
I believe what you said. God has spoken to me twice, one directly in an audible voice, one through another man, whom I believe was a messenger (angel) sent from the Almighty.
My husband had an malignant grade 4 brain tumor. It’s the worst kind, no cure, it kills everyone who has it. Average survival time: 3-6 months, up to 12 months if it can be treated. A man whom I had never seen before approached me at the gas pump, (it was a bit scary, because I felt a bit vulnerable to a strange man) told me my husband had been cured and was specially anointed to do God’s work. My husband was not even with me, but this man knew that my husband had had a brain tumor and had been given 6 months to live. Then his wife walked out of the gas station, having gone in to pay, and said to me, “you must be the woman that my husband was sent to talk to today!” I had been so skeptical up until then. I had asked God for a sign. Wow, did he give it to me! 3 ½ years later, my husband is fine. He is on permanent disability, has no job, draws medicare and is happy serving the Lord in many ministries. We spend our days together, as I don’t have to work either. I manage our rental properties. What an amazing God we serve. I do believe that Sarah Palin is our modern day Esther!

Pastor Mark Arnold,
As the manager of a car dealership I receive the forwarded emails of all
employees no longer with the company. Typically I delete all emails that are
forwarded without reading them. If they do not pertain to a car deal, I am not
interested. However, today I was compelled to read the email that told your
story of God telling you to pray for Senator McCain and Governor Palin. I have
to tell you that I am relieved. Never in my 43 years have I been so concerned
about an election. I too feel that Governor Palin is God's lightning rod. I
know that God works in mysterious ways and we don't always attribute the funny
way things work out to his greatness. I want to thank you for posting your
story. It has inspired me and has helped to soothe the loathing that I have
felt about this upcoming election. I know that you do not know me or my family,
but would you be so kind to pray for us, and ask God to protect us and guide us.
I have not always made the right decisions, but I do know that God is on my side
and that like so many others, I need his direction. Once again thank you and
God Bless!
Sincerely,
Paul

I read your beautiful description of your message to Sarah Palin!!! I want you to know that I, too, have had some signs from God on this very same subject!!! I have a bookcase full of books for my 12 grandchildren which are in the playroom where they play. Two of the younger ones (3 and 4) often pick out books each day and leave them lying on the table beside the bunk beds. For a couple of days, they left the little book entitled MOSES beside the bed. Each day I would re-shelve it and it would be out again the next day. Just before reading your piece in email, I went in the room and found the book ESTHER on the bedside table! It didn’t mean anything until I read your article! Now I know that the Lord was trying to say that Moses couldn’t speak well so he gave him Aaron—Esther saved her people from extinction! I feel that He gave us Sarah Palin to speak for John McCain AND to save her people from horrible consequences of an Obama regime!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I will pray without ceasing!!!

Pastor Arnold,
Thank you for being obeidiant to G_d! May He richly bless you. I will be praying for you and yes continuing to pray for the ones He has chosen for this hour. I have been crying out for beleivers eyes and hearts to be open to truth and have been greived for those churches who have been pushing for Obama. It is encouraging to know the Heavens are open and prayers are being heard and answered.
By the way my name is Hadassah, I am Jewish and G_d has spoken through the prophets that he is sending me back to where I was born, Israel as a deliverer for my people for such a time as this! Please pray as their have been many obstacles trying to keep my husband and I from making Aliyah.
May His Kingdom come His will be done in this country, and may His order be established. Thank you again for your obeidiance.
Hadassah

Natasha's Story of Being Born in a Concentration Camp
Greetings Pastor Mark:
It was such an honor to speak with you and I so appreciate you taking your time to share with me.
Our God is an AWESOME God.
As I related to you; I am a "Hidden Jewish Child Survivor of the Holocaust", born in a Concentration
Camp in Latvia. My mother had me smuggled out when I was about 6 months old because I was dying and had learned that the Nazis were going to dispose of me.
I was placed in an orphanage in Riga, Latvia and after the war, taken to an orphanage in West Germany where many many horrendous events took place. Many persons have stated that because I was so young nothing happened to me; Not so, the war was only over on paper, not in real life.
I came to the U.S. when I was 5, not being able to speak a word of English and adopted by a family that did not want a Jewish child (my identity had been hidden). My adopted family were not only very very abusive but true atheists.
On the flip side of the coin; I was truly blessed to have learned how to play chess, read, ride horses,
attend symphonies, hunt with a bow and arrow, and so many other things.
When my parents divorced I was blamed for it because I had been adopted. Needless to say, I carried hatred for that word, along with so much buried anger and hatred.
It was during my search for my biological family that I first heard the Voice of the Lord, saying, "the Jewish people have lost so many so why not go to them for help". WOW, I can remember standing in awe. Go to them I did and for the first time I truly felt at home. With their help I was able to retrieve information and piece it all together. Yes, I was born to a Jewish family and both parents had been sent to Concentration Camps, nev rto be seen again.
It was during this time that the Lord was really dealing with me, speaking to me, and drawing me to Him. Yes, I finally accepted Yeshua (Jesus) as my Lord and Savior.
Now the Holy Spirit began to really work in me; What a job He had as I was the angriest meanest person and the more the junk was being stirred the more I stank of my sins. The Lord showed me that it was like water sitting in a pan to loosen the cooked food and if the water sat too long, when the pan is moved the water smells.
I would like to say to all that are reading this that yes, we are in very serious times, but if you are a child of the Lord God most High, do not lose hope. Yes it will be rough but just like in Psalm 23 ".......yea though I walk through the valley of shadow of death.....". You notice; one goes 'through' to the other side.
The Lord has called me to the Church at large to have the Christians be aware of where their heart is with Israel and the Jewish people. In March of 2000, in a vision, I saw the Finger of the God draw a line in the sand saying that the line represented those that stood for Israel and those that did not. I was able to feel the intensity of the Lord and have been ".....like a voice crying in the wilderness....". I realized that in this case the wilderness represented the Church.
Yes, one can pray for the Peace of Jerusalem because Psalm 122 tells us to BUT how many Christians would really take a stand for Israel and the Jewish people. All of us can say things from the Bible because that is what the Word says to do but the Lord looks at the heart.
In 2006 the Lord gave me a vision of two large ships, each full of people. The water was very rough and one of the ships turned over causing all of the people to struggle in the rough water. The other ship stayed afloat, tossing some but all of the people were fine. The Lord said that those in the water were the Christians that really did not have a true heart for Israel and the Jewish people. Non in the water drowned but it was rough going to say the least.
To me, that is a very sobering warning. Bill Koenig that wrote "The Eye of the Storm" relates how all of the major events in our Country (hurricanes, tornadoes, plane crashes, terrorist attacks here and abroad, etc) corresponds with our treatment of Israel; forcing her to divide her land and closing settlements. No matter what you may think but just as it was with Hitler so now it is with the terrorists all over the world; first the Saturday THEN the Sundays. No, you will not escape
You may be asking "how can I possible help Israel when the Lord has called me to something else"? Well, we each have certain callings that we have a passion for. If we all focused on one thing, NOTHING would get done in God's Kingdom, however, we ALL must examine our hearts concerning our stand on Israel for God's Word does NOT lie and God will, and has, most surely come against a Nation and even a person that goes against Israel and the Jewish people. I have seen it first hand and it is a fearsome thing to see. Perhaps the Lord has called you fight against abortion (abortion is wrong wrong wrong) so go for it but let your heart always love Israel.
The Lord has also shown me that in these extremely tough times look at your place of influence as your "Goshen Land". Read in Exodus concerning Egypt and the Israelites. During all of the plagues the Israelites, in the Land of Goshen" were continually protected. Yes, it was a very hard life but they lost nothing. Read Psalm 91 which is so full of promises and protection.
Rahab the Harlot and her entire family, along with her home, were all preserved because she 'chose' to believe the spies and placed a scarlet thread (representing the Blood of Jesus) of the wall of Jericho. (Jos 2:11-12; 6:12-25).
I truly sense the Lord closely watching all of His children to see how we will vote; Are we going to vote according to our emotions or go by HIS WORD. Voting is a privilege and I ask that all of you that are U.S. citizens and registered-PLEASE VOTE. Use the Word of God as your guide. God is not asking that you must agree or like everything about a candidate but He is asking to look at His Word .
Shalom and many many blessings,

Harley Motorcycle rider walks out of Hospital - 5 hours after Accident
(Story of Gary Sharp surviving Accident is in his own words, we haven't changed any words of the story)
Jesus is alive and well, the same yesterday, today, and forever more. I have not always looked to him in my 54 years of good and bad things happening to me. He has had to carry me allot, but there is know better feeling than knowing he is with you.
About 8 years ago I heard Gods voice very clearly tell me he was preparing a ministry for me and to let no man stand in my way. The next day I was told God does not talk to men today, especially one like me. I ran away from God and searched to find my way back, not always in the right places.
On Saturday, June 28, 2008, I had a wreck on my Harley. I was dead at the scene on the streets of Topeka, Kansas. I do not remember anything, but was told by wittiness as to what happened. I was thrown up and over the car I hit, across two lanes of traffic and landed in the grass. This hard to believe if you can you can see where the accident happened. I came true in ambulance not knowing if I was going to live or how bad I was injured. I don't think I have ever been that afraid or alone in my life. My wife was divorcing me, my children were at my son's wedding reception. I remember asking God for the strength to pull thru, even though I hurt so bad I just wanted to die. I held on to the belief that God had something planned for my life and was not ready to take me home yet. 5 hours latter I walked out of the emergency room with out a broken bone in my body or major injury's. Bumps, bruises, sprained ankle and wrist, and bruised ribs. There were no
cuts.

I held on to the belief that God had something planned for my life and was not ready to take me home yet. 5 hours latter I walked out of the emergency room with out a broken bone in my body or major injury's. Bumps, bruises, sprained ankle and wrist, and bruised ribs. There were no
cuts.

Dear Pastor Mark,
I think this testimony is directly from God. I know Sarah Palin is called of God to do His work in the last days. It is more important that anything going on in this world that McCain/Palin win this election. God has got to work a miracle to make this happen but, He is in the miracle working business. I am praying for God to give the people of this Nation wisdom and to make a "show of Obama and his true self openly" the Bible says God will and I believe it. If Obama is elected, I am sure it is more evident that ever that the Lord will return soon. We, as Christians, are the winners either way but, I have much more to do for the Lord before He comes back.
I thank you for following the leading of the Lord in this endeavor. I know McCain and Palin will never forget what you told them and it might be one of the causes of them winning. I sure it gave them more faith and strength and I am sure she is a modern day Esther and the person to further the Kingdom of God.
Thank you again for following the leading of God and for the email. I will forward it to many.
God bless you and all men of God who are following the leading of God.
God bless McCain, Palin, their families and you!
Love in Christ,

I have read your testimony.
I am from Croatia, Europe.
I will try to spread the news at home.
Please check Medjugorje site(s) if you haven't don't that yet.
I am a Catholic, but I believe in true ecumenism...
God knows everybody's heart and I feel your heart is
a heart of a true believer.
I will include you in my prayers (which I should do more often by the way...)

Dear Mark,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
A friend sent it to me and being a born again, Spirit filled (Acts 2:4) Christian, it thrilled my heart to hear how God raised you up to be His messenger!
I will agree with you in prayer that McCain and Palin will win this election! I fully believe there is an anointing upon Sarah (as you mentioned for such a time as this) and that God would not have allowed her to be placed on the ticket to lose, but to WIN!!
The news media has tried to discourage the Republican Party by saying “it’s over” because of the polls, etc. However, “No matter what they say, no matter what we’ve heard, our mighty God is reigning in power and He has the final word!!!)
God bless you!
Thank you for being so sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Mark,
I'd have to say that like John the Baptist, you are fulfilling your kairos moment. Please know that this is the beginning and not the end. As you continue to hear from Father, it will be more critical at each juncture to continue in obedience to every request He places before you. It was years into his ministry before John stood and announced to those surrounding him, Behold the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. So, yeild, and when you think you've yeilded, yield again. We are a breath away from the greatest move of God the earth has every experienced and the Holy Ghost is very active in this hour as we continue to bombard heaven for deliverance for this great land and our generation. Be like Joshua, take courage, for it is the Lord's good pleasure to continue to use each one of us as we are willing to be obedient to the call.
Shalom,
Brother Ray.

We spoke on the phone yesterday. I told you I am a Jewish Believer in Yeshua/Jesus, and have been studying the Scriptures for over 33 years.
At your request I am emailing you to reiterate what I told you yesterday
I remimded you that Queen Esther revealed Haman's plan to the King to kill all the Jews on a specific date and thereby had Haman executed and saved her people, and I could understand why God had you speak to Sarah Palin, her husband and John McCain.
There really is more there than meets the eye and I'd love to share it with you, but I'm a very slow typist and my computer skills are quite limited. With your permission I'd like to speak with you again sometime in the near future and explain what I mean.
In the mean time we must pray VERY hard for them; for their victory, their good health and their protection.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
May the HOLY ONE of ISRAEL bless you for your obedienc
I must add some more information to what I said so far.This is the holiest month in the Biblical year.Please read Lev 23
for the Biblical calendar. At sundown this evening through sundown Thursday is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, when Jews worldwide fast, pray and ask forgiveness for their sins. It's a time of reflection, to take stock of themselves,and to seek God's Face (Lev 16)
I, for one, have been led to pray Daniel's prayer, asking God's forgiveness, not only for his sins, but also for his people's sins
I have been praying it daily for the last several days, and will continue to do so: to ask God's mercy on us, our country and Israel.

Dear Reverend Arnold,
First, may God bless you for what you have done. I received your accounting of meeting John McCain and Sarah Palin in an email from my brother, Lindsey Cornett, Pastor, Dixie Valley Church of God in Louisville. What a wonderful story you have.
My wife and I have emailed it on to many people who have in turn passed it on to others, one of which has an email list of over 600 people. Positive responses are coming back from all over the country. It is an awakening for many. One man said that he was so discouraged and expressed to his wife that he did not know what to do about it. Then he went to his computer and "found the answer." He said that he was also was passing the email on to many others.
My wife is also contacting others and asking them to call friends all around the country and personally ask them to pray and then to set up prayer groups in their homes and ask others to do so too.
Your accounting has taken wings and has an awakening spirit about it. May God be with us all and may our great nation get back on it's knees and turn to Him.
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior,

Our Office received this email and JACK WHEELER is the one quoting
all of this...He Authored Reagan's Strategy to Break the Soviet Union:
This is Jack's account of what is happening now...
Jack Wheeler is a brilliant man who was the author of Reagan's strategy
to break the back of the Soviet Union with the star wars race and expose
their inner weakness. For years he wrote a weekly intelligence update that
was extremely interesting and well structured and informed. He consults(ed)
with several mega corporations on global trends and the future, etc. I think
he is in semi-retirement now. He is a true patriot with a no-nonsense
approach to everything. He is also a somewhat well known mountain climber and
adventurer.
The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit.
No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no
understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no
balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.
He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of
him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African
Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to proclaim his
Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is
African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.
What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the
descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't
a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave
owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for
centuries until the British ended it.
Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the
descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.
It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte
came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is
beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents
reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the
evil of being human to the evil of being white.
Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering
absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic
behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no
arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it.
The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all
the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe
it because it is absurd.
Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain
Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.
His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any
thinking American.
Pass this on to every thinking American you know!

IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, HISTORY COULD REPEAT ITSELF
Hymn to Hitler
by
Lori Kalner
In Germany, when Hitler came to power, it was a time of terrible financial depression. Money was worth nothing. In Germany people lost homes and jobs, just like in the American Depression in the 1930s, which we have read about in Thoene’s Shiloh books.
In those days, in my homeland, Adolph Hitler was elected to power by promising “Change.”
He blamed the “Zionists” around the world for all our problems. He told everyone it was greedy Zionist Bankers who had caused every problem we had. He promised when he was leader, the greedy Zionist bankers would be punished. The Zionists, he promised, would be wiped off the face of the earth.
So Hitler was elected to power by only 1/3 the popular vote. A coalition of other political parties in parliament made him supreme leader. Then, when he was leader, he disgraced and expelled everyone in parliament who did not go along with him.
Yes. Change came to my homeland as the new leader promised it would.
The teachers in German schools began to teach the children to sing songs in praise of Hitler. This was the beginning of the Hitler Youth movement. It began with praise of the Fuhrer’s programs on the lips of innocent children. Hymns in praise of Hitler and his programs were being sung in the schoolrooms and in the playyard. Little girls and boys joined hands and sang these songs as they walked home from school.
My brother came home and told Papa what was happening at school. The political hymns of children proclaimed Change was coming to our homeland and the Fuhrer was a leader we could trust.
I will never forget my father’s face. Grief and fear. He knew that the best propaganda of the Nazis was song on the lips of little children.
That evening before he said grace at the dinner table, he placed his hands upon the heads of my brothers and me and prayed the Living Word upon us from Jeremiah 1:4-5…
‘Now the Word of the Lord came to me, saying,
“Before I formed you in the
womb I knew you,
and before you were born I
consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to
The nations.”
Soon the children’s songs praising the Fuhrer were heard everywhere on the streets and over the radio. “With our Fuhrer to lead us, we can do it! We can change the world!”
Soon after that Papa, a pastor, was turned away from visiting elderly parishioners in hospitals. The people he had come to bring comfort of God’s Word, were “no longer there.”
Where had they vanished to while under nationalized health care? It became an open secret. The elderly and sick began to disappear from hospitals feet first as “mercy killing” became the policy. Children with disabilities and those who had Down syndrome were euthanized.
People whispered, “Maybe it is better for them now. Put them out of misery. They are no longer suffering…And, of course, their death is better for the treasury of our nation. Our taxes no longer must be spent to care for such a burden.”
And so murder was called mercy.
The government took over private business. Industry and health care were “nationalized.” (NA-ZI means National Socialist Party) The businesses of all Jews were seized. (Perhaps you remember our story in Berlin on Krystalnacht in the book Munich Signature)
The world and God’s word were turned upside down. Hitler promised the people economic Change?
Not change. It was, rather, Lucifer’s very ancient Delusion leading to Destruction.
What began with the propaganda of children singing a catchy tune ended in the deaths of millions of children. The reality of what came upon us is so horrible that you in this present generation cannot imagine it.
Our suffering is too great to ever tell in a book or show in a black and white newsreel.
When I spoke to Bodie about some of these things, she wept and said she could not bear to write them. Perhaps one day she will, but I asked her, “who could bear to read our suffering?”
Yet with my last breaths I warn every Christian and Jew now in the name of the Lord,
Unless your course of the church in America is spiritually changed now, returning to the Lord, there are new horrors yet to come.
I trembled last night when I heard the voices of American children raised in song, praising the name of Obama, the charismatic fellow who claims he is the American Messiah.
Yet I have heard what this man Obama says about abortion and the “mercy killing” of tiny babies who are not wanted.
There are so few of us left to warn you.
I have heard that there are 69 million Catholics in America and 70 million Evangelical Christians.
Where are your voices? Where is your outrage? Where is passion and your vote?
Do you vote based on an abortionist’s empty promises and economics? Or do you vote according to the Bible?
Thus says the Lord about every living child still in the womb…
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you…”
I have experienced the signs of the politics of Death in my youth.
I see them again now.
Christians! Unless you stand up now, you will lose your freedom of religion.
In America priests and preachers have already lost their freedom to speak openly from their pulpits of moral danger in political candidates. They cannot legally instruct you of which candidate holds fast to the precepts of scripture! American law forbids this freedom of speech to conservative pastors or they will lose their “tax exempt” status.
And yet I have heard the words of Obama’s pastor Damning America! I have heard the words of Obama damning and mocking all of you in small towns because you “Cling to your religion…”
But I am a woman whose name is unknown. My life is recorded as a work of fiction. I have no fear of reprisal when I speak truth to you from the pages of a book. (Though the Zion Covenant books are mocked and condemned by the Left in America.)
I am an old woman and will soon go to be with my Lord. I have no fear for myself, but for all of you and for your children, I tremble.
I tremble at the hymns to a political leaders which your children will sing at school. (Though even now a hymn or a prayer to God and our Lord Jesus is against the law in public school!)
Your vote must put a stop to what will come upon America if Barrack Obama is elected.
I pray you will personally heed this warning for the sake of your children and your grandchildren. Do not be deceived.
The Lord in Jeremiah 1:7-8 commands every believer to speak up!
“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth,’ for to all whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them for I am with you, declares the Lord!”
I am in Prayer for you, and for the Church!
Spoken to you in the authority of Jesus the Christ,
the Name Above All Names,
Lori Kalner

Dear Pastor Mark,
Thank you for being obedient to God and delivering that awesome message. I heart was so touched and has been crying out for this wonderful nation. Seeing the news and destruction and all has been so hateful and unbelievable to happen in my life time. I am 81 years old and came from a long heritage of Christian believers and loyal Americans. to see such hatred come into our country has devistated me! I have been praying for the MaCain/Palins but felt defeated. You have renewed my committment to pray and believe.
God bless you and continue to use you mightly. God is on the throne and His wonderful will be done!
In Jesus name, Mary Ellen Lombard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pastor Mark,
Thank you for being willing to speak boldly. There is a great need for this today. We experienced a very poorly executed election here in Kenya last December, and it resulted in many needless deaths. A lot of hate was ventilated. Churches were burned, sometimes with many people inside. We have been praying that in this US election God will speak clearly to each of his people who can vote. And that they would be diligent in carrying out His Word to them. Just as important, and regardless of the outcome of the election, that they would be eager to right the injustices they see in everyday life, in Jesus' name. When unbelievers or backslidden Christians see God's people boldly making peace, working in unity, and rooting out injustice and oppression (racial, financial, social, gender-based, etc), then they will know we are true Christians. Because we love with Jesus' love, they will see very clearly and profoundly that God is not only alive and well but He is winning. We have been studying Psalm 70 this week and the verses that ask God to change the attitudes of His enemies. Not to kill them, but to change their hearts. The same thing we ask God to do to those people who perpetrated so much violence here earlier this year. We will continue to pray for this election, and now for Gov. Palin.
I remember when Bill Clinton was re-elected, and how depressed I was that our nation had chosen to remain allied with a man who had openly disgraced himself and our nation. I kept asking God how he could allow such a thing. Why didn't God cause His people to overcome? There are probably many reasons, for God is not defined in my wants or perceptions. One of these, I believe, is that God is not bound by those who are elected. Nor is His principle work of redeeming and changing this world done in the White House or any other government building. It has always been done through His servants, most of whom will never be applauded or rewarded on this side of heaven. Certainly the movers and shakers in government have tremendous influence, and whoever is the next US president will exercise that influence. But as you can see in your own life, one virtually unknown man with God's Word can do very significant things. What God is doing in small quiet village outside Nairobi will result in the salvation of at least 100 Kenyan children. And who knows what they will do when their time comes? The first president of Kenya was educated in a missionary school just outside of Nairobi. A lady once told me that every good African president who came to power during the push for independence after African colonialism ended was educated in a school started by Christian missionaries. I doubt any of those missionaries understood the importance of their work when they started those schools. They were simply obeying the calling God had put in their hearts. They were bold, and they persevered throughout the loneliness and constant opposition.
Billy Graham has advised numerous US presidents, just as the Isaiah did for Hezekiah, and Daniel did for heathen kings. I wonder, who will be the next Billy Graham?
Your fellow missionary,
Doug Koepke

October 08th, 2008
Dear Pastor Mark Arnold,
Greetings!!!!!!
It is my honor and pleasure to take this opportunity to write as I came across your ministry over the internet. I believed that my letter is a big surprise to you yet, it is with, great joy to share my ministry work here in the Philippines through letters. I believed it is not by accident but by God's grace He really made it possible. Let me introduce my name, ministry, family and a little background about my work here in the Philippines. I am Antonio H. Palma 38 years old, married with two (2) children I am grateful that the Lord nurtured them into His divine ways. I am an independent tribal minister of the Lord for the great commission. I have started this very rewarding missionary work way back 1996 as its started from one of the indigenous family in one of the small mountain village here in Davao province, until it grew up to many families in an adjacent and neighboring villages. The Lord moves in a tremendous ways through miracles until we finally were able to put up 5 (five) indigenous churches that right now we oversee.
I am engaged in church planting, outdoor meetings, home bible studies, pastoring church, handing out Gospel tracks to bus terminals, hospitals, prison cells, as well as feeding children. My vission is focus on tribal and indigenous cultural communities and less fortunate in our societies, As I found it more interesting to
served the Lord despite of hardship for the sake of paramount need for souls harvest. Hence, I am glad to witness it with my own eyes that lost souls are save for Christ. I just cannot afford to see them die without Christ. This ministry that I have is self-supporting, self-propagating, and self governing. I run this very rewarding
missionary work by faith through the generous contribution of our poor tenent brethren who love the Lord despite of thier poverty living conditions.
This place of ministry that I engaged in is thickly populated with muslims and paganism a religious belief coming from our ancestral religious bagubo, were people are used to worship stone and etc. there are always strong pressure on our part because me and my family are being harass, mock, and even harm, my heart bleeds seeing them lost yet, despite all the pressures that we encountered,hardship that we faced, we are not discouraged we are seeking God to our fervent prayer that somehow God will open up thier minds and hearts to the genuine truth that we both preach and live. Most of the times we visit our outreaches and bible studies we commute passengers buses going to our outreaches and drop in the highway junction because no jeepney or single motorbike will enter to the interior remote place, we have no choice except to hike a long distance, narrow grassy pathways under the intense heat of the sun, we often times cross rivers and to make short cuts just to serve our precious brothers and sisters in the villages.
These precious tribal brethren are so much neglected and rejected in our societies but I firmly believe that they are also human beings that needs our care and attention and most of all salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. My heart groanned as often times thier eyes were lifted up when they see us coming to thier villages bringing good news and some sorts of food, used clothing and health medicines for thier sickly, starving malnourish children these less fortunate and down trodden brethren needs our service and care as the Lord Jesus Christ told Peter in Jonh 21;15-18 it says" Simon son of Jonah Lovest thou me? Feed my sheeps, I firmly am convinced that to love the Lord is far and formost. Sometimes we may have money but we prefer to hike so that we can but something to eat that we can offer them especially to the children which they used to run meeting us while we are still in the hillside road when they see us coming we are greatly move with compassion having seen thier pitiful condition runing nude, hungry, and sickly. If you have assorted used clothings, medicines, vitamins we are happy if you could extend to our precious brothers and sisters in the Lord.
As I came across your website over the computer, I was promted to write assuming that you can help us with sound, accurate, vibrant, spirit filled messages and enriched wisdom to your teaching materials, as the Lord surrounded us with many gifted and willing men and women who are ready to take the gospel of salvation to the souls in all provinces, cities, rural areas, mountain villages here in Mindanao even to the entire island of Philippine archipelago. To do this, I believe we need also prayer support from you, who are willing and be able to endow us with spiritual cover and mantle of authority to put thier shoulders to wheel with us and stand with us in this great calling for us to lay down our lives for our brethren. I
strongly believe that we are one in the body of christ, I do hope that you are open to welcome us a part of your family ministry there through we are here in the Philippines. How we really wish as well to see you personally and it is our honor and priviledge should you have time someday to visit and share the gospel here in the philippines.
Lastly, may God bless and your family and all your divine undertakings rest assured that we will keep in touch with you our prayers and reports of our work here in the Philippines.
Your Brother in Christ,

Dear Pastor Arnold,
Thank you so much for delivering this message to Sarah Palin. This was what one of the Ladies of our prayer group said about her the day she was introduced. We are praying also for her and for Senator McCain. My husband also was MIA in that same camp in Hanoi and we love John McCain and know that he would be a great President.
May God continue to bless you, Pastor, and give you what is needed to fulfill His perfect will in your life.
Love and Blessings,
Wanda Elliott

Hello dear Pastor Arnold! This is Pastor Kisel from Russia. I am sorry for bothering you with my e-mail, but I have just read the e-mail about you, how you've met McCain. What a wonderful story and testimonies. I am a pastor of the Apostolic Bible church in Maykop city, Russia. That is about 200 miles away from Chechnya. Not the best place to live, I guess. We have been (myself, my father, senior pastor of our church, my brother ) to the US many times and we do really pray for your country and for next president. We are sure God is able to make miracles.
Well, it was great to hear your story and we would rally appreciate the correspondence with you.
We are looking forward to your reply.
We want to let you know that we are praying for the United States every day and God will make great things! We strongly believe that!
We would ask you to pray for our country and for the church as well.
God bless you. Waiting to hear from you soon.
Pastor Kisel

Pastor Mark,
Thank you for sharing your testimony on your website. It is very encouraging. I will show my friends your website.
Well, Nothing else can stop God even our unbelief, maybe only by the intercession of Abraham for Sodom (Gn 18) and Moses for Israel ( Num 14).
Yes, Praying for our nation and following His words are so important.
Also, I request to pray for Taiwan that is a free country with only 2%Christian.
Shalom,

Pastor Mark,
You brought tears to my eyes. He really does work in mysterious ways! Chesterton said that "to those without Faith, no explanation is possible, and to those with Faith, no explanation is necessary. How can you explain the minutiae and precision of God's work and timing without God!!!
Yesterday I was thinking about "our Sarah" and the media's whining that the party is "hiding" her. A situation prevented me from writing to the effect that we are not going to "cast our pearl" (Sarah!) to the swine among the MSM. "Not only do they trample on them, but they turn and tear them to pieces." I also she is one of the "blessed" being abjured for "His name's sake" and doing His work.
Some weeks ago I spoke with a person of deep deep Faith and counsel, and we were both on the same page with concerns for Gov Palin. (this is unusual - he's generally way ahead of me on Faith issues) He has prayed for a mantle of prayer and protection over our Sarah.
Thank you for following the guidance of the Holy Spirit and delivering that message to Gov Palin. The hatred of the Godless is often a shock to decent folk like the Palins. I pray that the love of people like you will uplift and guide her to the White House to work with our noble candidate for President, John McCain.
All blessings on you and yours,
Deirdre
PS - I think we got some "retaliation" this morning, a couple of hate emails found their way to
information.

Dear Pastor Mark Arnold,
Thank you for your e-mail, it is an ever encouraging voice in a time of trouble. I am lifted up by your obedience and explaining the role of an intercessor. This is the clearest explanation of an intercessor that I have ever read.
Some years ago (1986 and 1987) the Lord spoke to me in similar ways and I was not obedient in carrying it out. I have had many regrets concerning that time. I heard His voice (audible) but I did not go into intercession and what could of happened didn't.
Thank you again for your obedience,
Lucy

This Email came from a man explaining what he feels is a TRUE / PURE PROPHECY!!!
I have never met "Doug" but I'm humbled and grateful for his desire to share from his heart
and research.
He sent his letter to Jim Bramlett and Jim forwarded to me...as well as Doug copied email to me.

Thanks for the update on Mark Arnold's new website. If this doesn't light one's fire... the wood is wet.
However, you noted that Mark delivered a message which "the Lord had given him". This is true in a sense but not in the strictest sense. Mark "knew" he was to be used by God to deliver a message... BUT... even MARK didn't know "the complete text" of that message was UNTIL he opened his mouth and "God filled it". When Mark opened his mouth and "God filled it"... what came out DID NOT come through Mark's intellect, reasoning or memory but was "involuntary" and direct from the "mind of God". 1Cr 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. When one "has the mind of Christ", as Mark did on this occasion... what comes forth involuntarily is PURE PROPHECY !!!!

Dear Pastor Mark:
Are you overwhelmed with emails? Your story has gone far and wide.
Thank you for the courage to share this bit of truth, and for
allowing it to be passed on freely. It has given me great
encouragement regarding the upcoming election. It made me cry, and I
know that is the Holy Spirit moving. I had hesitations about Sarah
Palin because of her youth and the inexperienced light in which the
media portrays her. I know your story is going to change hearts. God
Bless you.
