URGENT PRAYER REQUEST FROM
Pastor Robert Turnage
Victory Temple Church
Beaumont, Texas
October 8, 2009
This is an urgent prayer request for Pastor Clendennen, founder and president of the School of Christ International. Pastor Clendennen has learned and, Sunday October 4th, announced to the church he founded, Victory Temple in Beaumont, Texas, that he has cancer. He asked that God’s people would pray and believe for a miracle.
We have called for days of fasting and prayer, a time when people around the world will bind themselves together for the one purpose of believing God for a miracle in Pastor Clendennen’s body.
As Brother Clendennen has carried the care of the churches, ministers, bishops and laymen around the world, we now have the opportunity to bear the burden of his need by touching God for his physical healing.
This video is the public announcement made Sunday October 4th at Victory Temple Church.
Help us enlist intercessors by telling this need to every believer you know.
The need is urgent and the time is now to pray through on this matter. I expect to write you again in the next several days and announce the victory has been won.
Believing together for a miracle for Pastor Clendennen,
October 2009
Everywhere you look there are those signs that say to the elect, "Jesus is Coming." There is no doubt but what we are witnessing the 'perilous times' spoken of by the Apostle Paul. Every nation on earth is in turmoil, and the problems are with perplexity. But with it all, this is no time to be discouraged, for these are the very conditions that create for the "True Church" her greatest opportunity. When there is nothing left but despair we have our greatest opportunity.
In desperate times, such as we live in, men and women are driven to search for that which is real. You and I have been brought to the Kingdom fir' such a time as this. "For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall he destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14) These words were spoken to Queen Esther at a time when it seemed that everything was about to be lost; A time when a day had been set to slaughter the entire Jewish population.
We live in a day very similar to Esther's; spiritual death abounds, according to the Prophet Joel there are; "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision" (Joel 3:14). These are the conditions that open the way for God to show Himself strong. "It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law."(Psalm 119:126).
The cry sounded in the fiftieth chapter of Jeremiah is echoing around the world today; "In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God. They shall ask the way to Zion." The prophet said of God's people, "...they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place" (Jeremiah 50:6b).
What a picture of the Church of the 21st century; from mountain to hill. from one pseudo experience to another. That cry has reached the ear of God, we are about to experience a vast harvest of souls. But for God to do His mighty work there has to be a human. instrument through which He can pour Himself. Like Esther, you and I have been chosen to be that vessel through which God's deliverance will come.
In Brazil alone the possibility for the harvest is beyond description. Brother Wellington, general superintendent of the Brazilian Assemblies of God with seventeen thousand pastors under his leadership, has invited the School of Christ to be the instrument to stir and renew the tire in the pastors. Two weeks ago I returned from a Pastors Conference in Belgium I was there by invitation of the Pastors to present the School of Christ. The cry; we need revival. We are just finishing the German translation and the country is wide open. Europe is ready for a real move of God and the thought is, The School of Christ is tool to bring that move. The report coming out of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Iran is that multitudes are turning to Christ.
Time and space limits me, but I sum it all up with this word; what I have said is being repeated in over one hundred and fifty countries. If we will not allow ourselves to become weary we can and will finish the course. In closing I ask this one favor, with the message of this letter fresh in your heart and mind look up and ask God what It would have you to do financially. If you will do this, and will obey what He says, every need will be met.
