Covid-19

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

When this Covid-19 was first mentioned I like many others believed it was just another flu virus such as avian flu and the other ones we have seen come out of China, but I have sought the Lord God with all my heart and I believe the Lord God Almighty has allowed this devastating disease to grow and flourish as a warning to the people of this earth. I remind you if you have not read it for a long time to take a look at this scripture:

Psalm 2 King James Version

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

So, my brothers and sisters and fellow ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I believe this is the time when many of us will be able to reflect. I hope it is a time when many will spend time in prayer and study of the holy scriptures as it is not a time to be busy, it is a time to be still. On this day, 19 March 2020, all the churches across the land are closed. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Mr Welby, and the Catholic Cardinals have closed down all their buildings. I believe the Baptists, the Methodists, the Assemblies of God and the Elim Pentecostal and the independent pentecostal churches will all follow suit. I believe this is also a judgment on the body of Christ as it is time to put away our banjos, our clever music, our programmes and seek God as we have never done before. We still have the access to the Internet. Many of us can contact each other through Duo, WhatsApp, Skype. We can also pick up our telephones and do something we have not done for a long time: talk to each other.

As for the prosperity gospel, this cannot function in this environment. I am not saying this is how things will end up, but I believe the Lord God Almighty is showing us what would happen if something worse came down the line. This is not a time to see how much money you have in the bank or how much you gain through ill-gotten gains. If you are mega-rich, it is time to sow. Remember the parable that Jesus spoke about of the man who built bigger barns and the Lord God Almighty said, “Thou fool, this night your soul will be required of you.” What will your money do if, God forbid, the Lord calls you tonight? What good would it have been? I am talking as a man who once had money who now has nothing but in my spirit I am very rich as I have learned what the apostle Paul learned, to be content in all situations, whether I have plenty or whether I have nothing at all. Jesus also said, “What would it profit a man if he gained the whole world yet lose his soul?”

My brothers and sisters, fellow ministers, we are going to experience for the next few months times that we never experienced. I believe this is the greatest opportunity that the Lord God has given us to reach the lost and the lonely. If you are able-bodied this is your opportunity to help those less fortunate than yourself. If you are rich, it is an opportunity to help the poor, as in the next three months the body of Christ is going to need each other more than we ever have in all the days of my life.

So I hope this message challenges you to not sit on your bottom but to see there are those in your community that you can give practical help to. Ask the Holy Spirit, “What should I do?” Even if it just means picking up a telephone or knocking on the door to help someone. I do believe that the blood of Jesus Christ is more powerful than Covid-19 and this could be a time when the church of Jesus Christ can really shine. We have sung it enough – Shine Jesus Shine – and Jesus can only shine through those He loves. I suggest you spend time and look at John 15 and make sure you are connected to the real vine and not just a sub-branch. As God is the gardener, he will cut off every branch that is not bearing fruit.

God bless you and keep you all and your families safe.

Revelation Daze (Evangelistic Music Ministry)

Keith and Jenny Raby

We are a husband and wife singer/songwriter, musical outreach ministry.

We have been working on a vision to reach children, youth and all ages with the gospel for the past three years.

So far with investment from ourselves and generous donations, we have seen this vision become a reality.

We have to date

  • written and produced two full virtual gospel band shows with all original songs and gospel messages;
  • purchased an ultra-short-throw laser projector;
  • completed many outreach events.

We now need to invest in an ambient light rejecting screen, which is good for daytime use as well as night time, and a few new animation videos to keep this exciting and fresh.

We have raised some funds and now just need to raise £1000 to be able to complete the next step and fulfil the plans we have for outreach this year.

You can donate online at gofundme.

Beware of ‘Credit Investigation Department’ Scam

On 29 January 2020, Rev Ross Rennie received a telephone call from a mobile phone. The caller claimed to be calling on behalf of the ‘Credit Investigation Department’. When this person started asking about debts, Rev Ross terminated the call.

On checking with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), we find that ‘this firm has been carrying out consumer credit activities in the UK without [the FCA’s] permission or authorisation.’ Find out more at the FCA’s web site.

Who Would Put Themselves in Gaol?

I hope like me you love this country, the United Kingdom. There are many forces at work that wish to break up the union. I feel a witness in my spirit that we are fighting the biggest spiritual battle this country has seen for centuries. If we end up a vassal state under the common rulebook, the customs union and the backstop, we shall have betrayed our brothers and sisters in Northern Ireland and we shall give away our freedom and democracy to unelected, undemocratic bureaucrats.

I have listened and prayed about both sides of the argument and I am now convinced that the UK will be better off under WTO rules for trading and leave means leave. I cannot understand why anybody like in the game of Monopoly would want to put themselves into gaol, give the key to the gaoler and hope one day the gaoler will set them free. I think even a six-year-old can understand this.

Mrs Theresa May, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, even though she spoke at Lancaster House and guaranteed the British public that she would work for a clean exit from the EU, has in effect betrayed this country. In times past when we were ruled by kings, she would probably have lost her head for this. I understand many feel that she has done her best, but quite frankly it is now appearing her best was not good enough, as sadly her heart was not in it and she had no intention of disengaging from the Europeans and winning back our sovereignty, our fisheries, our agriculture and our freedom to trade freely with the rest of the world.

It is your duty on Monday morning to email your MP if you feel and love this country as I do.

I have heard all the nonsense regarding we shall not be able to visit Europe on holiday, they will put tariffs on our cars and many other arguments, but you need to understand we import more from Europe than we export. That is a fact. In your garden shed, you probably have a Flymo, a Bosch drill, or even a Worcester combi-boiler. If you do not know, these are all German companies. If you look around your house you will see many products that are from the EU. So the fear tactics that the globalist elite are using are no more than fear.

It is time for this great country to stand shoulder-to-shoulder and not to be bullied by the spineless members at Westminster and show the Europeans that we do not want to see our streets such as France being set alight. There is an anger in the country which I have never experienced. It would appear that it will only take a spark and we can see the same as in France. Please pray that this would not be the case.

As we are Christians we must always obey the rule of law, but if the Mother of Parliaments is neutralised then we are closer to the Lord’s return than at any other time in our history. As many of you know, I have studied eschatology for many years, I have read many papers, I have listened to men such as Barry Smith from New Zealand, who is no longer with us. I watch with interest technology that countries such as China and now India are becoming cashless societies. They are now buying goods through their mobile phones using a QR code, which many of us now believe could be the start of the biochip. I am not saying this is the mark of the beast, but it would appear very close to a one-world trading system. Even now in the UK, as many of you do know, you can do your banking on your mobile phone, and even in Cambodia now you can pay for your bus fare by scanning a QR code. So the system is becoming more and more worldwide. We are moving to a cashless society and much of this stuff we know who is behind it. People such as Barry Smith, Charles Lawson and Leonard Ravenhill were laughed at years ago, but now we are seeing these things with our own eyes. Our situation on the 11th of this month will determine which way we go. If we end up as I have said above, I believe time is running out, as all the signs are pointing to a one-world government and a one-world church. My only prayer is that Jesus returns before these things fully take hold. You owe it to yourself to read the last book of the Bible, the Revelation of Jesus Christ, as a believer.

I am sorry to give such a stark warning, but as a watchman for our God and our Father in heaven, I must obey Him first.

As many of you know, on 11 December I shall be travelling to Cambodia. The good news is God has honoured me mightily. Much of my cost inside Cambodia has been covered. I still have a shortfall of about £700 which I have to pay back on my credit cards when I return, but my faith as you know is so great I trust the Lord, my God, as this trip to Cambodia is a miracle in itself. I give all the praise and all the honour and all the glory to God.
