From John…to our Beloved FMM Family…
My heart is filled with pain and sadness. I have deeply disturbing news to share concerning the bloodshed that continues to take place at the shopping mall being held by terrorists in Nairobi, Kenya, even as I write this.
When my spiritual son in Africa (who began two years ago, to translate my Biblical Meditation writings and have them printed in booklet form, for free distribution) began taking bundles of FMM booklets to Nairobi, a local pastor there befriended him. So my son stays with him whenever he visits that city. This pastor became an important founding member of the FMM Family in Africa and is also like a son to me. He has been greatly instrumental in helping to distribute our booklets throughout that large city.
As a result of the faithful efforts of these two spiritual sons of mine, a network of beloved volunteer FMM Family members began to form around them. And the booklets began to be distributed in various shopping malls, bazaars and places of dense population. From there, the distribution process made its way to various embassy offices of many countries that are represented in Nairobi. And thanks to those connections, the booklets began to be flown to many nations throughout the world. And that is how we connected with an ever-growing force of professional pilots that serve as a volunteer ‘air force’ that distributes FMM booklets out of Nairobi, to various continents and countries all across the world.
All of this started with my spiritual son and the pastor that befriended him. My spiritual son goes to Nairobi almost weekly with newly printed batches of booklets. When He does, he stays with this pastor, who has become a very important and strategic part of our Family.
Because of the location this pastor and his congregation occupy in Nairobi, their church has become a ‘dumping off’ place for unwanted children. By that I mean that prostitutes go there after giving birth and abandon their babies in the church’s rest rooms, etc., knowing that the believers there will do everything they can to care for them. Many of these children have the HIV virus and other maladies. So this pastor and his dear congregation are stretched beyond belief as they take on the responsibility of trying to care for all those precious lives left to their care. As you can imagine, their finances are strained to the breaking point as they try to meet all the needs and demands that this ever-increasing orphan population creates.
Nevertheless, it is through this congregation, and others just like it in other regions of Africa, that our enormous Follow Me Family has been able to take root and spread to all the continents. But today, I received this email from my spiritual son. He wrote in response to an email I sent earlier to express my sorrow over what had happened in Nairobi:
“Dear Dad… Thank you. It was true that the Islamic terrorists aimed at Non-Muslims and allowed the true Muslims to go out. I received a call in our morning earlier hours today that 5 of the members including 2 orphans at brother _______’s congregation in Nairobi were killed. These members were working there at Mall shopping center where the attack took place. These were the people _______ was using to distribute our FMM teachings. Please pray for their families and also for the many Kenyans who were wounded. Son”
So, beloved Family, it seems clear that the powers of Darkness have FMM in their sights and have begun to manipulate their dupes into doing harm to our Family. And so now we have taken a serious hit…right where all the world-impacting FMM action originated. And because this situation is ongoing, it is possible that even more of our Family members are being held hostage. So, blood has been shed and precious lives have been offered to God and His service…and more may still be lost to us in the foreseeable future.
So now I ask you to realize the seriousness of this situation. The Lord is taking us into much deeper waters. FMM is a ‘boot camp’ type ministry that is geared to help those that the Lord is preparing to serve as His Last Days disciples. It is our intent to help wherever we can, as He prepares His own for spiritual combat with the enraged and very desperate demonic powers. But now, it’s no longer just training. The actual combat, for which we’ve been training, has begun in earnest!
I ask you to begin using your personal and corporate prayer closets in earnest. Don’t just pray for yourselves and your own personal interests and comfort and safety. Pray for our Lord’s Body all over the world! Pray for the Invasion of the Kingdom of Heaven to be unleashed, ‘full force’, all over the world.
We are not here to be overcome by evil. We are here to overcome any and all temporal evils, with God’s awesome ETERNAL GOOD!
Now it’s time for all of us to become God’s earthly ‘Points of Entry’, through which His living Word and Holy Spirit can appear and abide and fulfill God’s promises to us from within our midst! It’s time for each of us to become one of Father’s ‘Bases of Operation’ on Earth. From within each of us, Father’s living Word and Holy Spirit can establish and maintain direct links of unity and communication and create an enormous ‘fishnet’ network of Life-giving communication and provision for all of God’s People on Earth! We have the Perfection and Fullness of Almighty God to draw from! So let us share it freely, wherever we know it is needed.
“Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died; and your life is hidden with Christ IN GOD! When Christ, who is our Life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in Glory!” (Colossians 3:1-4)
It will be through disciples that truly believe the promises God has given, that He will be able to supply and protect the Body of His Son. Everything we need is held in reserve for us in God’s Perfect Eternal Treasury and Armory in Eternity. Through His ‘Points of Entry’ and ‘Bases of Operation’ on Earth, God will sanctify and redeem and protect and equip His own, no matter what dire time and space situations and circumstances our precious Blood Covenant Family may encounter in the days to come. God has deployed and stationed His chosen ones all over the face of the earth, for such a time as this!
So I ask you to pray, not only for yourselves, but also for all the rest of your brothers and sisters. Pray that we may all may be found at our assigned positions…faithfully obeying our Messiah’s orders when Father tells His beloved Son that it’s time for Him to make His Ultimate Grand Entrance and initiate His Return to Earth.
This pastor and his congregation that have suffered the loss of five members and two of the orphans will now have to bear the burden of seeing to the funerals and burial of the bodies of those they lost. So I’m asking the members of the Follow Me Family to help us to help them to cover the financial expenses. If you can help in this way, please send your funds (clearly specified for this purpose) to Follow Me and we will see that they receive them.
“Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your Name. Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil…” (Matthew 6:9-13)
At the moment of His coming, the terrorists, and all of those others that have rejected God’s living and written Word, will be the ones cowering in fear and trembling…waiting to hear what God’s living Word is going to say and do next!
Beloved, I pray Father’s Eternal, All-Sufficient Favor, Provision and Protection on each and every present and future member of the precious Body of our Lord. May Yeshua’s Eternal Light shine from within each of you, with ever-increasing brilliance. May you follow Him at all times, reflecting His Presence as He abides within you. And may His Radiance shine from you continually…so that He can overcome and dispel the Darkness that cowers before His approach!
“The Lord bless you, and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
In His Eternal Shalom,
John
