My Faithful Friends, 

I am currently writing to you from jail. I want to share an important scripture with you:

“Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:” (2 Timothy 1:8-16).

As you see here, Onesiphorus wasn’t ashamed of Paul when he was locked up in prison. Many scriptures speak about how people took care of him when he was in his chains. This is a major word for this ministry and the Body of Christ! “For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,” (Ephesians 3:1). When a man of God is imprisoned for the sake of the Gospel, you must understand the importance of what God expects from you and how He looks at you when you help that man. 

Read the digital version of this newsletter below

“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 in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward,” (Matthew 10:40-42).

Jesus said you receive the same reward as the servant that you support. Supporting God’s servant or one of His children, even in their imprisonment, causes you to share the blessing, reward, and favor God has given them! In fact, Jesus sees your service to them as you direct and personal service to Him, because He identifies Himself with those in bonds. Jesus literally feels what they feel, as He said, “I was in prison, and ye came unto me…Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me,” (Matthew 25:36,40).

Don’t be ashamed of me while I’m in my chains. Many were ashamed and forsook Paul because of his chains. There was a time when not one man stood with Paul, but the Lord did! Others stood after this time. 

“At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me…” (2 Timothy 4:16-17).

Many may forsake me because I’m locked up right now, but the Lord has stood with me in my chains He and has been visiting me face to face. I’m an Apostle, a preacher, and a teacher just like Paul. “Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles,” (2 Timothy 1:11). 

I’m a true Apostle. I’m not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, suffering, and being afflicted for Jesus. Paul gives the richest detail on this topic because he spent years in prison. While in prison, he wrote Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians, Philemon, and possibly more, which have helped millions of God’s people for over 2000 years. The promises for who stood and supported Paul while he was in prison back then are for you who stand and support today! 

Blessing #1: Those who stood with Paul shared the grace of God on his life.

“… inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace,” (Philippians 1:7).

Blessing #2: Fruit credited to your eternal account. Like Paul said, it’s not a gift to be desired, but fruit that abounds to your account. 

“Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. Now ye Philippians 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,” (Philippians 4:14-17).

Blessings #3: God shall supply all of your need! This verse often quoted by the church was spoken in context to believers who stood with and supported Paul during his imprisonment!

“But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” (Philippians 4:18-19).

Blessing #4: Receive mercy on the day of judgment!

Onesiphorus was not ashamed of Paul’s chains. He actually sought after him with diligence and refreshed him. There were many who forsook Paul and missed their blessing, including whole groups of people, but Onesiphorus and his household received the blessings for showing mercy or lovingkindness to Paul, just as Jesus promised, “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy,” (Matthew 5:7).

“This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well,” (2 Timothy 1:15-18).

Blessing #5: Boldness to preach and spread the Gospel without fear

The gospel was spread further through Paul’s bonds and everyone that stood with him, instead of running, where endowed with supernatural boldness which helped cause the gospel to spread that much further throughout the world! 

“But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear,” (Philippians 1:12-14).

I also want you to know that my lawyers are working on everything for my defense. These are false allegations and lying charges. They are wrong, and not true. I appreciate all your prayers and support, and my staff will be calling you with more details. 

I’m writing to you who are not ashamed that I’m in chains! Thank you for not being ashamed of me in my chains, and for not being ashamed of the Gospel. When there is imprisonment or jail, many Christians get ashamed and fearful, but I’m not ashamed and I’m not fearful, because I prophesied this would happen. Years ago, God showed me in dreams that they would unjustly come after me. We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I will speak boldly… as I always have! 

“The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:” (2 Timothy 1:16).

Paul said Onesiphorus ministered to and refreshed him while he was in his chains. This is the part I need you to understand. I need you to be like this man who ministered to Paul while he was in jail and was refreshing to him. I’m calling on all the leaders in the Body of Christ, church friends, my family, and my sons and daughters around the world, to minister to me in my chains. Don’t be ashamed of me because I’m suffering for the Gospel. I’m not suffering for unrighteousness’ sake, but for righteousness’ sake, for the Gospel of Jesus Christ! One of the ways you can minister to me while I’m in my chains and be refreshing to me is by continuing to support this ministry. We still have the Campus for the Harvest school. We have a great work to do for the Body of Christ and this nation!     

Paul encouraged those who stood with him, and I want to encourage you who are standing with me. Thank you for not backing away from me. Paul said there were many who backed away from him when they saw his imprisonment when he went through persecution, but the real, true Christians stood with him… Paul called the people who stood with him by name. 

Philippians 2:19–24 — Timothy (commended as a faithful coworker)                                           

Philippians 2:25–30 — Epaphroditus (messenger who brought Paul’s support from Philippi)

Philippians 4:2–3 — Euodia and Syntyche (women who “labored with Paul in the gospel”)

Philippians 4:14–18 — The Philippian church supported Paul with financial gifts while he was in need.

Colossians 1:7 — Epaphras (“faithful minister” on Paul’s behalf)

Colossians 4:7–9 — Tychicus and Onesimus

Colossians 4:10–11 — Aristarchus, Mark, Justus (“have proved a comfort to me”)

Colossians 4:14 — Luke and Demas

Ephesians 6:21–22 — Tychicus, Paul’s messenger, who will tell them how Paul is doing in prison.

Philemon 1:1 — Timothy

Philemon 1:10–12 — Onesimus 

Philemon 1:23 — Epaphras (“my fellow prisoner”)

Philemon 1:24 — Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke

I am asking about you by name. I’m praying to God for you by name, and although I don’t have a list in front of me to remember each name, God brings your name to my remembrance. I’m asking for God’s mind while I am in here for you. He knows all the names of the people who are standing and supporting and I am asking Jesus to personally call your name out before Jehovah, and all who stand at this time. Be encouraged, and don’t be like Christians who scatter like roaches when an attack comes. 

“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels,” (Mark 8:38).

This is the hour that God has promised to pour out His glory on the face of the whole earth! God has always forewarned His people about trials and tribulations to prepare them to stand in victory and to keep an attitude of praise amid all trials. 

“These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended,” (John 16:1).

Jesus is the good shepherd (John 10:11) and always forewarns His people to preserve them. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10) and that is why the Lord is always revealing future events before they happen in this glorious face-to-face movement and ministry he has given Apostle David E. Taylor to lead.

For years, the Lord has been warning His people about an attack against JMMI, and it has recently come to pass with the FBI conducting searches at the ministry headquarters and missionary parsonages and arresting Apostle Taylor and his executive, Michelle Brannon. There is much that will be said in the coming days concerning the falsehoods, lies, and fake news surrounding these allegations. 

The Campus for the Harvest has always been and will always be a free Kingdom school where missionaries can come and go at their own will to grow in love with Jesus, follow Him, and learn true ministry His way. The purpose of this article is to encourage you spiritually and teach you how to pass God’s tests by having the right attitude! Remember when Jesus said, “For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad,” (Mark 4:22).

The lies and deception will be unveiled, and God will be glorified, but He also wants you to be prepared to pass His tests! Consider how important and prophetic it was that God had Apostle Taylor teach on the Big 7 Life Lesson Tests from the Father right before this attack to prepare His people!

“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them,” (Acts 16:25).

Some of the missionary volunteers had a chance to speak to Apostle since he has been incarcerated, and he said that the word of the Lord for this hour is, “There will be glory after this!” Apostle said he is praising God, praying during the midnight hour like Paul and Silas did, and entrusting himself to the Lord! 

The Big 7 series that the Lord had Apostle teach on was a prophetic message with instructions from God on how to respond during this time! 

Apostle wants you to know his heart and that he is not vindictive, offended, or angry towards the government or FBI, and he said he doesn’t want you to be either! Apostle said he knows what the devil is doing behind all this and what people are doing, but his focus is on what God is doing and having the right attitude with praise, hope, faith, and love. Be encouraged! Even during this time, Apostle Taylor is ministering to, loving, and sharing the hope of Jesus with those around him! He does not want you to worry or be afraid, but to keep faith and keep saying together, “There will be glory after this!”

The Big 7 Defined

The Big 7 Life Lesson Tests from the Father allow obstacles and tests to prove our character to make us greater than we currently are. They make us partakers of His divine nature and include:

1. Tribulations – Great difficulties that hem you in on a narrow path. “Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God,” (Acts 14:22).

2. Afflictions – Pressure on your life to mold you into who He wants you to be. “And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended,” (Mark 4:17).

3. Trials – Challenges that come to purify your faith, just how God tried the Children of Israel in the wilderness (Numbers 13:31,33; Deuteronomy 1:27-28).

4. Temptations – Used by God to begin the process of deliverance in our lives if we handle it with the right attitude and wisdom. “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death,” (James 1:13-15).

5. Persecutions – When your enemies are unrighteously pursuing you or slandering you or coming after you in order to overtake, capture, kill, or defeat. “And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen,” (Exodus 14:23).

6. Sufferings – Something that comes to discipline your emotions and passions to subdue your flesh. It is also the gateway to glory. (Deuteronomy 8:30; 2 Timothy 2:12; Luke 24:26).

7. Divine Chastisements – God’s education and discipline by education to instruct, correct, punish, admonish, reprove, and teach. (Hebrews 12:6-8).

God’s people must endure suffering before entering into glory. 2 Timothy 2:12 promises,“If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.” Jesus Himself is our greatest example of this – He went through persecution, trials, and crucifixion before being resurrected by God’s power and ascending to the Father’s right hand!

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God,” (Hebrews 12:2).

True Apostles are Imprisoned for His Name’s Sake

There are multiple accounts of apostles of Christ being imprisoned for their bold faith and preaching the Gospel throughout the Bible. They were falsely accused, jailed, flogged, and even exiled while facing persecution from the religious leaders and governments of their day. The same is true today!

“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful,” (Revelation 17:14).

1. Jesus – Our King Jesus was betrayed, falsely accused, arrested, and crucified, yet rose again with full victory on the third day! (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19).

2. Joseph – Joseph had to suffer before God brought him into his glory, as he told his brothers to send word to his father, “And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither,” (Genesis 45:13). Joseph was imprisoned after being falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife, yet went on to save an entire nation through the wisdom God gave him (Genesis 39).

Joseph had to be imprisoned to be able to bless the whole world and preserve many lives! Today our generation wants you to believe that you do not have to go through anything difficult in your walk with God. Many don’t want to suffer for God, and He is calling us to come out of that type of thinking! Christians today compromise in order to avoid persecution, but suffering and going through tribulation is part of our journey in entering God’s Kingdom! 

“For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;” (Philippians 1:29).

“Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God,” (Acts 14:22).

3. Paul – The apostle Paul suffered for Jesus’ name’s sake. He was imprisoned numerous times throughout his ministry as detailed in 2 Corinthians 11:23-27. He was held in Caesarea and later under arrest in Rome where he wrote several of his epistles (2 Corinthians 11:23-27; Acts 21-28). Ananias was visited by Christ concerning Paul as is recorded in the book of Acts: “But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake,” (Acts 9:15-16).

4. Daniel – Daniel’s jealous rivals convinced the king to issue a decree forbidding prayer to God for 30 days with penalty of death. He was thrown into the lion’s den for breaking this law. God supernaturally shut the mouths of the lions and delivered him (Daniel 6:1-28).

5. John the Baptist – He was imprisoned by King Herod for rebuking him in an unlawful marriage (Matthew 14:3; Mark 6:17; Luke 3:19-20).

6. Peter and John – After performing a miracle of healing of a man who had been lame for over 40 years, Peter and John were taken into custody by religious authorities, questioned, and warned not to speak Jesus’ name (Acts 4:1-22).

7. The Apostles – The Sadducees, filled with jealousy over the apostles’ growing influence, threw all of them in prison. An angel of the Lord later opened prison doors and freed them (Acts 5:19-20).

8. Paul and Silas – Paul and Silas were flogged and imprisoned while preaching in Philippi. A great earthquake occurred at midnight, opening the prison doors and turned the world upside down! (Acts 17:6). Paul and Silas chose to stay and evangelize their captor and his family who were later baptized (Acts 16:16-40).

The apostles understood that persecution and imprisonment were an inherent part of their faith and discipleship – a fulfillment of Jesus’ own warnings which required laying down their lives for great eternal rewards in His Kingdom. Every time an apostle was arrested or imprisoned, a greater glory was released! 

“And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name,” (Acts 5:41).

God always takes us through and brings us out of the fiery trial and will be with us just like he was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3).

“And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?” (Zechariah 3:2).

“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:” (1 Peter 4:12).

God is always looking to bless His people at the end of the suffering after passing His tests and going through the trials!

“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof:” (Ecclesiastes 7:8).

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end,” (Jeremiahs 29:11).

Today, we look at the lives of the apostles in the Bible knowing that their arrests and imprisonments were really persecution for the cause of Christ, but in their day, it wasn’t perceived or understood that way. They were made to look stupid and radical, like zealots and rebels who were rightfully indicted for the wrongs they committed and the movements they caused. The truth is, they were martyred and persecuted for their sincere faith in Jesus Christ, but no one heard that publicly because they were portrayed and treated as enemies of the state and government at that time. 

That is why we must be ready! It is important that the Church recognizes the end times that we are in and what persecution in this modern day will look like. We will be called things we are not, falsely accused of things we have not done, and the public will be convinced we are “guilty” by the world’s standards. We will not be persecuted for being “followers of Christ,” but for being “radical fundamentalists” who do not know the true way of Christ which is love and tolerance. Our suffering will not be noble to society or in the eyes of the world, only in the eyes of Heaven! That’s why our hearts and minds must be filled with the Word of God. He says we must stand on the authority of His Word! Remember, the enemy means persecution for evil, but God always means it for our good.

The Church wants revival and awakening, but the truth is, the greatest revivals and awakenings in history have only succeeded great national catastrophes of persecution of the Church! We must come together this hour and stand as one. What you see happening to Apostle Taylor – who greatly loves God, the Body of Christ, and this nation – is a grave warning to every Christian in America! He is not the only one this will happen to. The Church cannot be silent and allow this door of persecution to open. Apostle Taylor is asking that you choose this day and stand with him to fight this spiritual battle!

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,” (Joshua 24:15).

Just days ago, Apostle shared a dream he had, saying, “I remember a dream I had where my father was speaking to me. God was using him as a prophet to give me a message in the dream. My dad said, ‘God is about to bring you into your glory, you will be on television for eight years.’” Apostle said he woke up disturbed because eight years wasn’t long and it wasn’t normal to be on TV for that short of time. The Lord showed him that it has now been eight years since he first started broadcasting on The Word Network and has been on international television. Right now, at this eight-year mark, God is about to bring Apostle Taylor into glory! This dream and the timing of the eight years is the indicator that this suffering is for the glory that is to come! God had Apostle in shut away preparing him to pass the test and pay the price for the glory that will be revealed!

Right before this attack, a prophet called Apostle Taylor to share a dream with him. This prophet doesn’t normally dream, but when he does, they are accurate. In the dream, he was speaking to Apostle and Apostle was showing him a massive new JMMI headquarters with a huge spinning globe in front of it. He saw skyscrapers and blessings being poured on Apostle’s life. Just like Joseph did in John 17:24, Apostle said, “Come and see my glory, the glory God has brought me into.”

“And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians…” (Exodus 14:24).

When the news media showed up to the Campus of the Harvest in Houston, God also showed that He is watching! The news captured a photo of the eye of God seen right over the campus! God was peeking out of the cloud showing that He is watching everything taking place. This is the second notable appearance of the Lord over the campus! 

During this trial, God wants His people to have the right attitude! This is God’s heart and Apostle Taylor’s heart for you – do not be angry or offended at the government or even those who are clear enemies of Christianity. He wants you to pray for them, even those who are aggressively fighting the gospel. Apostle wants all his sons and daughters, family, supporters, pastors, and churches to pray for those in authority and those who are behind this case. It has always been Apostle’s heart, and still is today, to work with our United States government in partnership to help bless our nation. Apostle’s main call is to this country to help avert war and save millions of lives.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,” (1 Timothy 2:1-6).

Apostle wants all of those around the world to pray for those in authority. We must follow the Master and respond exactly how He told us to, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust,” (Matthew 5:44-45).

“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not,” (Romans 12:14).

God wants you to respond in love. He wants you to keep faith, gratitude, thankfulness, praise, and hope! The spirit of fear will try and come to give you an unsound mind, but you must cast it out! 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

When fear comes it creates an unsound mind and leads to wrong decisions. Remember, that spirit doesn’t come from God! Resist it! God is love and His perfect love casts out all fear! 

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love,” (1 John 4:18).

“Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. at I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell,” (Matthew 10:26-28).

It is time to rise and fight the good fight of faith! Keep a good conscience and be positive, knowing that God is in control and He is moving things that He wants. God is setting the stage! He is shifting things, and He will use Apostle to reach America! 

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses,” (1 Timothy 6:12).

Keep praise on your lips and keep rejoicing! Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God even in prison! In fact, the early apostles had a whole different attitude and outlook when they went through persecution. They did not look at it like this generation, they rejoiced in it! It is time to praise and rejoice even in the midst of persecution!

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you,” (Matthew 5:10-12).

“And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ,” (Acts 5:40-42).

“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy,” (1 Peter 4:12-13).

Remember the trials of Joseph and Job. It doesn’t matter how wrong the accusers were, what mattered was their response. They weren’t in control. God allowed it. Remember, no man of God is perfect. Our government and FBI aren’t perfect. Only one walked perfect in this life, and that’s Jesus! Despite being perfect in His life, even Jesus was accused in a trial. He was silent and only answered when needed. It is important to study Jesus’ trial and how He handled it.

It is vital to watch and pray while going through a trial so that you do not enter temptation and get offended. Keep your heart from offense at all costs and stay walking in God’s peace, loving and blessing one another!

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak,” (Matthew 26:41).

It is also important to see how God worked through men like Job and Joseph who still had imperfections during their life. Patience is another major virtue to have during a trial. Our faith and patience must work together. The Scriptures say we are to consider the patience of Job and consider how merciful the Lord was with him by blessing him after the trial (James 5:10-11). God was working all things together his good and even worked Job’s fear and passivity out of him during his trial.

“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me,” (Job 3:25).

God uses trials to perfect His servants and friends. God let the trial happen to get the fear out of Job. Job wasn’t perfect, and even though God spoke well of Job (Job 1:8, Job 2:3) he knew there were still areas of his life that needed worked or wrought on by God. 

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold,” (Job 23:10).

God wants you to come out in victory! He is a good Father, and you must believe that He loves you and will work everything out for your good. God is the only one who can turn what people intend for evil and work it out for good in your life! What matters is what God’s focus is, and He is in control. 

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose,” (Romans 8:28).

Consider Joseph – God still used him to bless the whole world when he got out of prison. In jail, it all looked bad and like he had no future, but that was not God’s purpose! When God brings the Big 7, He brings you through it for a big blessing to bless the world, not curse it! The trial, the prison, and the persecution are all to prepare you for something great! You must understand how God looks at a situation and keep a loving heart. Do not become bitter or unforgiving. Look at Joseph’s response: “And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive,” (Genesis 50:19-20).

This is God’s miracle! It is not a time of despair or hopelessness! It’s a time to keep hope and remember, “Trouble doesn’t last always!” This affliction is but for a moment.

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal,” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).

God allows darkness to have one hour. This dark hour and storm too shall pass! Read what Jesus told His people right before the trial:

“Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness,” (Luke 22:52-53).

This is a time to praise God and march forward in thanksgiving, joy, and shouts of praise! Now is the time to keep faith and move forward like never before, knowing that God is preparing Apostle and His end time army and soldiers for the greatest move that the world has ever seen!

It is time for the Latter Rain glory outpouring to reap the eight billion soul harvest! Remember, God is with His people, and we are the army that does not break rank! Sheep will scatter, but soldiers will stand! Apostle has trained and discipled us to not just be God’s sheep, but to be soldiers in His end time army! 

“I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad,” (Matthew 26:31).

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ,” (2 Timothy 2:3).

“They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:” (Joel 2:7).

God is doing something so massive for the entire world and our country! He wants to bless our nation. Do not lose sight of the vision and the mission. The allegations against Apostle Taylor and JMMI are false – spawned by racism, greed, and corruption. We love and are grateful for our country and government, but in her latter days America has wrongfully indicted many wonderful pastors and men and women of the Christian faith. Even recently, our government raided the home of President Trump, indicting him multiple times and arresting him. While in shut away, Apostle has faithfully prayed for not only our president, but all of our government officials. 

“And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:” (Matthew 12:25).

Jesus has appeared to Apostle David E. Taylor and has sent him to bring a great deliverance through the Kingdom of God and the Face-to-Face Movement to bless the whole country while co-laboring with the Godhead! As God has confirmed multiple times through appearances and visitations, Apostle Taylor is His friend, and He has given him the keys of the Kingdom to usher in the greatest move of God before the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ! Apostle has lovingly yet urgently warned this country about coming judgment and an impending nuclear war that Jesus showed him in a face-to-face visitation, and now is the time to stand! 

Even now, Apostle is serving people, leading them to Jesus and praying for them! As his precious supporter and friend, you are on his mind and he is praying for you too! 

Call 1-877-843-4567 now and let God know that you have drawn your line in the sand and are standing on the Lord’s side with Apostle Taylor in the Kingdom of God!

Always remember the words of our general, “God has not planned any defeat for you!” ~David E. Taylor~
