Matthew 10:40-41: “He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.”

God has sent forth his prophet, Jonathan Hansen, to sound the alarm and to give warning to religious and political leadership, to the church, and to society. Have you received and enjoyed the messages from World Ministries International?

As department head over benevolence for this ministry, and as a dentist, I have been on numerous mission trips with Prophet Hansen and have witnessed firsthand the power of God set people free when the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ went forth through the prophet with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This was followed by conviction, confession, and repentance. I have seen many miracles and people healed and delivered. I have seen and participated with Prophet Hansen in casting demons out of people. World Ministries International is a very special ministry that operates in the reality of the full gospel.

It may interest you to know that in addition to ministering the word of God, World Ministries International also gives to and serves the poor, orphans, disabled, and widows all throughout the world. We do this through our benevolence ministry by providing bibles, food, clothes, money, and other aid to them. We have also built dental clinics in Russia, Romania, El Salvador, The Dominican Republic, and two clinics in Jamaica. We are building a mobile dental/outreach van to serve the Northwest as well.

This is all done to feed people today, families tomorrow, and communities for years to come. James 1:27 “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and the widow in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” But the need is so great and we need your help.

Many of you have been touched by this ministry through our newsletters, radio, television, website, etc., yet some of you have never supported us. It is difficult to truly “receive” until one has given. The Holy Spirit is calling those faithful to sow into this work to build the kingdom of God through this ministry. Phillipians 4:15-17: “Now ye Phillipians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.”

Please join with us. This ministry is 100% missions-driven. All of the workers in this ministry are volunteers and every dime that comes in goes directly to help others or to get the word out. Personally, I have never been paid a single dollar to work here. It has been my privilege to serve the Lord Jesus Christ through World Ministries International and to join up with other sold-out disciples of the Lord to reach the nations and to reach the people.

But it grieves me to see that there are so many that are being fed by the message, but cannot or will not give back to this work. One way you can “receive the prophet” is to financially support the ministry to expand the kingdom of God. When you give to a pure ministry that does not compromise, it will bear witness of fruit to your account.

This year we visited Jamaica twice. My family lived there for two months. Not only did Prophet Hansen personally share a word with the Prime Minister, the honorable Mr. P.J. Patterson, and the Governor General, his Excellency, Sir Howard Cooke; not only did we build a dental clinic and a medical/dental clinic; but we also spent time with and gave aid to a disabled children’s orphanage. All but two of the children there were abandoned by their parents who left them at the doorstep. The director there exclaimed that, “everyday the high and mighty drive past our gates…but no one ever stops by to visit!”

Help us to help those in poverty and affliction. Help us to get the word out. Sign up today to be a regular monthly supporter of this ministry or write your check out today to World Ministries International. God richly bless you,

Shalom.

SPECIAL EDITION: POSSESSING THE LAND

“And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them. And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you? (Joshua 18.1-3).

At this point in the Joshua narrative, the nation of Israel had won military campaigns throughout the land of Canaan and was ready to possess the land. Our keynote text states that the land was subdued before them, which signifies a land, which was conquered, subjugated and brought under subjection.

For a region or city to be considered subdued, the king had to be captured and killed along with his military forces. This point is explicitly reinforced in Joshua 12.9-24 where a listing of conquered (and killed) kings is given in chronological order.

However, despite the fact that all of the kings had been eradicated and the land was primed for possession, Joshua tells us that the majority of the tribes had failed to receive their inheritance. That is, they had failed to receive that, which was theirs by promise and legal right. How could this be? Joshua brings further insight by asking the Israelites the question: “How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you?”

Here Joshua makes a distinction between subduing and possessing. The Hebrew underlying this word speaks of occupying by driving out previous tenants, to consume, or to expel. The promise of the Lord was not simply to conquer the land, but to possess and dwell in the land. This point can be easily appreciated by contemplating the relative ease by which America and its allies conquered Iraq and the secondary arduous task of taking full possession of the land.

Joshua charges the Israelites with being slack, which signifies persons who are faint, feeble, idle or slothful. It is because of these negative character traits that the Israelites never fully obeyed the Lord in driving out all of the inhabitants of the land. This slothfulness led to the demise of Israel by failing to possess a foe, which had been conquered by the hand of God.

The Scriptures record that shortly after inhabiting the land, “the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals, and they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; thus they provoked the Lord to anger…The anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they were severely distressed” (Judges 2.11,12,14).

I believe these Old Testament principles can be clearly seen in the work of Christ and the lives of many Christians today.

Jesus, speaking prophetically of the work of his death and resurrection, states “Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out” (John 12.31). The perfect, precious blood of Jesus Christ now purchased the dominion of the earth, which was given to Satan via man’s sin in the Garden. Through Jesus, Satan (the spiritual prince and king of this world) has been defeated and conquered, and now we are called, commissioned and equipped to possess the “land,” which the enemy previously occupied.

World Ministries International (WMI), under the leadership of Prophet Hansen, is called to possess the land for Jesus Christ!

We realize that “… The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen and dissolve) the works the devil has done” (1 John 3.8 AMP). Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Matthew 28.18), and it is because our lives are hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3.3), that all authority is at our disposal to carry out this Great Commission and receive our spiritual inheritance.

Our mission is to faithfully prophesy to the nations of the world proclaiming the Kingdom of God. We will warn the church to draw nigh unto God and challenge the “world” to come to know God through Jesus Christ.

In order to accomplish these spiritual endeavors, the Lord told us that we need a team of 200,000 blood bought, spirit-filled Christian warriors, who love the Lord with all of their being and desire to usher in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Prophet Hansen’s desire is to be in covenant with each and every member of this ‘Church Without Walls,’ whereby he is compelled and determined to sow seeds of righteousness into your lives. WMI has made available to those who are called to be warriors, the opportunity to be developed by means of bimonthly pastoral letters, prayer support, an elaborate website, audio and video message series, along with traveling schedules both nationally and internationally.

As this ministry lives and breathes to serve and develop you for the work of the ministry, you (in this covenant relationship) have certain responsibilities under Christ. First, and foremost, you have the spiritual obligation to respond! Are you a part of this “Church Without Walls,” the army of 200,000 warriors that the Lord promised to accomplish the mission?

Time is running out! All of our energy and resources need to go directly into those who are called to get this message before the nations. The Lord convicted me several years ago to evaluate my response to every ministry that was attempting to develop my life. Those ministries which I did not feel called to enter into relationship with, I set out to let them know so that they would direct their resources appropriately. However, to those whom the Lord called me to covenant with, I purposed in my heart to back in every way, including financially.

I would like to speak from my heart to those who are called to be a part of this army. I beseech you to look within yourselves and determine if you have been faithful to reciprocate the “seed” which we have endeavored to “sow” into your lives.

As in the parable of the Good Samaritan, it was the Levitical priest who saw the need, was commissioned to back the need, yet failed to respond faithfully with his God-given resources. We at WMI do not want to be slack, feeble and slothful, and thus fail to accomplish all that the Lord has purposed for us to possess. We are seeking for our warrior congregation to be 100% faithful in backing the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the servants of God.

Every Monday and Friday morning at 5:30 AM, many of the leaders of this ministry pray together for you, the Church Without Walls! We pray that the Lord would develop you, empower you, and raise you to new heights of faithfulness in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our prayer and burden is to see every warrior as a Tape of the Month Partner (see colored insert). If you will rise up and purpose within yourselves to give $25 every month, we will be able to see the vision of the mission come to pass throughout the world. We have laid before you our commitment to you in this covenant relationship. We pray for your faithful response, and together we can join one another in Christ’s victory, possessing the land as we look forward to our everlasting inheritance (Hebrews 9.15).

Brothers and sisters, when you look around at what is going on in the world today do you ask, “How can I make a difference?” You can be a light and speak truth to the people around you, but what can you do on a larger scale? Laws have been passed at alarming rates that tear down the sanctity of human life and marriage and leave God, or at least the one true and living God, Jesus, out of the picture. He has been pushed to the side as men worship other gods, idols or in most cases themselves. Look throughout the Bible and see what happens when nations and individuals do this. Yes, the judgment of God is poured out upon them.

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7) God has and is revealing His plans to Apostle/Prophet Hansen, because he has been faithful to speak the truth that brings people to repentance and back into alignment with the Bible. Whether via radio, television or in person speaking face-to-face, God has continually placed Prophet Hansen before heads of nations, and heads of the church within the nations. You can help us to get the truth out by supporting us financially, but we must also have your prayers. God wants His Word to be spoken. Will you help us? These are the last days; judgment is coming. Will you help us to warn the people?

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12) Jesus did His part. His sacrifice was so great that it gave us authority over the enemy. Call our office @ 360-629-5248, become a part of the tape of the month partnership program and our intercessory prayer team. Enlist in the Army of the Lord, join “The Soldiers of the Cross.”

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. (Ezekiel 22:30) Will you stand in the gap for this ministry,this nation and the nations of the world? Will you become a SOLDIER OF THE CROSS?

Love, Melinda Roberts
