From the Pastor... Greetings! It’s been a while since we’ve given you an update through this newsletter, and I’m excited to share our news with you. First, I would like to say that the most exciting days for God’s people are ahead of us. I must warn you, though, that unless you are committed to God’s word, you may miss what’s going on, because God is a God who keeps covenant. The challenges that face us can be resolved only through skillful use of the word of God. As we honor God through worship and praying His word, we will see His glory. I had the privilege of ministering the last two days of 2009 and the first day of 2010 at Morningstar World Outreach Church in Huntly, Illinois. God gave us a vision for the coming year with the declaration that this is the year of the prophetic people. (see below). He has a vision of His people being equipped with His explosive weapons of warfare. He will equip us with a word that not only will be fit, but will explode with miracle working power. We will do the miraculous because we make ourselves available to God. We will see the ordinary believer empowered with words that demonstrate the power of God. This will be the Lord’s doing. God confirmed this to us before the week was out. As I watched FOX news, Senior Political Analyst, Brit Hume sent a message to Tiger Woods, declaring that Jesus could offer what he needs: forgiveness and redemption. What an explosive word! If you don’t think that’s a miracle, think about what happens when Christians speak about Christ on TV. They usually get hammered! Remember Carrie Prejean? But this time, this word was too powerful to resist. God is equipping His people. In keeping with this vision, we are going forward with Our fourteenth annual Gathering of Eagles Conference with our theme “Let the Prophets Speak...” Our speaker will be Prophet Roberts Liardon of Sarasota, Florida. A prolific author as well as Prophet and Teacher, Roberts has an explosive word delivered with the faith that comes from years of paying the price for the goods. This man of God is the real deal. In addition to Prophet Liardon, we have Rev. Shirley Camp, Prophet Jeff Staples, and Bishop Tony Russell rounding out our list of power players. You don’t want to miss these meetings!

2010: THE YEAR OF THE PROPHETIC PEOPLE

“Equipped with an Explosive Word” Prophecy Given Through Barbara Williams, December 30, 2009

In the day that King Uzziah died, My prophet Isaiah said, (in response to a question that I asked when I said, “Who shall we send, and Who shall go for us?”) and he, [Isaiah] spoke up and said “Here I am, Lord, send Me.”

And the Lord says, “This is that time again. This is that time again, where My eyes are roaming to and fro across the earth asking the same question of every heart.

“In this day and age, it’s not just the prophet that I would ask, but it is the sons and daughters that I have declared will prophesy,” says the Spirit of God. “And I am looking for a people who will say, ‘Here am I, Lord, send Me!’ I am look - ing for a people who will respond and want to be the one that I send to speak for Me. For I need a people who will declare My Word in the earth,” says the Spirit of God. “And My mind and My heart are stirred up to find those people. I will find them wherever they are. I will seek them out and I will find them. They will come from the high and low, from the rich and poor. They will come from the four corners of the earth. They will come from anywhere and everywhere

with the one response that makes them acceptable to Me, and that is ‘Here am I, Lord, Send Me.’

“So this year, 2010, (twenty-ten), will be the year of the prophetic people. It will be the year that I will release such a Word with such power in the mouths of those who will say, ‘Here am I, Lord, Send Me.’ ‘Here am I, Lord, Send Me.’ That won’t hesitate, won’t look back, won’t look at what they’re leaving behind, and won’t look at what the cost is, but they will respond quickly to the query of the heart of the Spirit, and they will respond and say, ‘Here am I, Lord, Send Me.’

It won’t be the pastor, it won’t be the well-known, it won’t be the ones we always look at to do the work,” says the Lord, “but it will be the one who responds with a simple, ‘YES’ answer to My question in their hearts.

And I will send them here, and there, and everywhere, and I will equip them,” says the Spirit of God. “For I have been planning such equipment that the world has not yet seen. For I have people stationed, and I have people in spe - cific strategic places to release the Word of the Lord because they have responded and said, ‘Whatever you say to do, Lord, I am here to do it.’

So I am looking for a people, a prophetic people, that I can equip, and I can put My weapons upon them.”

And yes, there are imitations - there are false things in the earth - that would try to imitate the explosive power of My Word.” says the Spirit of the Lord. “For was there not some - one apprehended recently in the city of Detroit who had equipment strapped to him ready to explode and cause dam - age?” The Lord says, “That is merely a counterfeit of what I have for My People. For I have a Word that will explode and break chains and break barriers. I have a Word that will

...I’m not looking to someone else to do it, but I will be the sent one this time.’ And God will equip you with such glory and such majesty, and such a Word, that people will know that you know that you know God of a truth,” says the Lord.

“And Yes, the earth will be filled with the knowledge of My Glory. It will be FILLED with the knowledge of My Glory. No more religion. No more playing games. No more false things, but the demonstration and power of the Holy Spirit through the Bride of Christ in this earth,” says the Spirit of the Living God.

“And know that I saved the best for last,” says the Spirit. “I saved the best for last. For one will wake up, and will

feel an new stirring on the inside, and that’s the giving over of that explosive Word into your spirit, and you will know exactly where to carry it, and where to release it, and when it comes forth, it will bring forth much powerful fruit. For you will see miracles at your own words,” Says the spirit of God. “You will see miracles at your own words. You will see miracles, and you will know that you are the one who is sent, that you are the one who is equipped, and you are the one that is giving Me glory,” says the Spirit of the Living God.

“And I am giving the Christian a new occupation. I am giving you the occupation of the one who makes a differ - ence everywhere you go. No more to be persecuted and

chased and hunted down, and reviled, and persecuted for no good reason. But you will be one that will hold their head high and be sought after because people know you have the real thing.” says the Spirit of the Living God.

“And I alone will do this. I alone will do it, and I will release My power, and release My glory into the hearts of hungry people who have been faithful and who have been waiting, and who know what time it is.” Says the Spirit of the Living God.

“A prophetic people... A prophetic people with the explo - sive Word that can do eternal good for humanity in the earth at this hour,” says the Spirit of the Living God.

2010: THE YEAR OF THE PROPHETIC PEOPLE (continued from pg 1)

WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH... T AKEN FROM THE P ROPHECIES P AGE AT MINISTRYOFTHEWATCHMAN . COM

A Special Message from Prophetess Barbara Williams : Greetings! Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

We serve a mighty God, and we want to share the message of His goodness with everyone!

This may be the first time I have done anything like this, but I really wanted to share what God has placed on my heart and lips with the body of Christ in general.

In August of 2009, we had our 14th annual Power and Glory of God Conference in Detroit, Michigan. We have wonderful praise and worship. Bishop Tony Russell and his musicians always do a great job, and as I was listen - ing for the word of the Lord, I was impressed by Bishop Russell’s song selection. He sang about the rain in two songs. Brother James Wood plays a stirring saxophone which completes the band. As I was listening to the Lord, I felt the unction to prophesy. This is not in itself unusual, but the way it came was.

Often the song of the Lord will come to me as a finali - zation of things God has been speaking to me previously.

This word came out of “nowhere” except we know it was the heart and mind of God. I had to minister totally by faith, and God began to explode His truth within me.

This word runs totally contrary to what the natural circumstances are, but I know it is God. He spoke to us about the sound of abundance, and for those of you who will believe, this word will produce abundance for you.

As those who heard the word that night began to rejoice, I could sense their faith level rising for the super - natural abundant provision of God. Since that time, we have had multiple testimonies of unexpected financial miracles, jobs and promotions, and restored favor and business success.

We have posted the prophecy on YouTube. We have a link to it on our website, but also the text of it is included here. We also are sharing testimonies from those who are receiveing the manifestation of this word. Saints, believe that this is our time to hear and see abundance in all things good and all things God. ~ BE BLESSED!

Abundance is Coming to the People of God

Prophecy given through Barbara Williams, August 13, 2009

I hear it! Don’t you hear it? I hear it! Can you hear it? I hear the sound of abundance of rain! Abundance of Rain! drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain It’s abundance of rain! I hear the sound of abundance of rain! Even in famine in Detroit I hear the sound of abundance of rain! I hear the sound of abundance of rain!

Can you hear it? drip drip drip drip drip drip drop drop drip drop drip drop drip drop drop drop drop drop drop... AND A FLOOD IS COMING I’m telling you! A FLOOD IS COMING I’m telling you! Even in the midst of famine the flood will come... the flood of abundance of everything we need ‘Cause we serve a God of Abundance! He is not a broke, poor God! He cares less about the economy! He cares less about “Cap & Crunch” and “Cap & Trade” and “Cap & Tax” & “Captain Crunch!” He cares less about “Clunkers for Truckers” and “Trade” & Stuff! He’s the God of Abundance of Rain! drip drip drip drip I hear it! I hear it! I hear the sound of abundance of rain! And it reaches a flood... And it reaches your house... And it reaches your purse... It’s abundance of rain! It’s abundance of rain! We serve a God of abundance and an abundance, abundance of RAIN is coming! “Coming to my people! It’s coming to my people! Sow in the midst of famine as Isaac did, and you’ll reap 100-fold in the season of famines because you live in the land of Abundance Don’t forget it! your abundance! abundance! You serve a God who is never broke, and if you go broke, He’ll make it for you! He can make anything; He created this earth, And He will give it to His kids... WE GET IT FIRST! I said ABUNDANCE IS COMING! ABUNDANCE IS COMING! Don’t believe the lies that you see on the TV! Abundance is coming to the people of God! Abundance is coming to the people of God! I hear it! drip drip drip drip The sound of abundance! The sound of abundance! The sound of abundance! Amen!”

“ I HEAR THE SOUND OF ABUNDANCE !” “ I HEAR THE SOUND OF ABUNDANCE !”

Testimony by Diane McCarthy - The Awesomeness of God! I guess this all started at the last conference in Detroit. During the conference we were asked to pledge $500 and to sow

toward that pledge. I pledged a little more than that because I was expecting to get a settlement f rom an injury. The settlement money was way overdue, and I pledged off of that money. I came home from the conference believing that the money would show up. Well, while I waited, anticipating the money’s release, I had neglected to tit he off of my only income (unemployment).

Mrs. Pat (Frazier) gave an awesome testimony about how God blessed her when she made the decision to trust God and tithe consistently. Her testimony convicted and encouraged me to give and to not make excuses that I didn’t have enough. I made up my mind that I would be more diligent in my giving and follow through with my pledge. A s hort time after making the commitment to give and follow through, my settlement money finally showed up. I paid off my pledge sowed elsewhere. Then out of nothing I was doing GOD showed up and showed out! I got a job.

I had been looking and applying, but nothing was working out. I couldn’t even get the “just pay the bills” kind of job I had applied for. So I had kind of stopped looking for work. Late one night one of my old co-worker s called me out of the blue to tell me about a job that was available, and that he had given my resume to our other co-work er (whom I had only met once). I was told to call the next morning and follow up on my resume submission. I called and got an interview. I was told that I would be contacted in a few days to shadow the lady that was leaving. I didn’t get the email telling me to come in on that Friday, so I was going to call and ask why I didn’t get the position. Before I coul d make the call, they called to ask where I was—they had been expecting me. I had gotten the job. They had made the decision th at same day!

This job is absolutely GOD! It is the type of work that I was doing before I was laid off. I have my own office, but much larger than the one I had before, and I will be in a safer environment with flexible hours. I can c hange my hours to accommodate me, if need be. I will not work weekends or holidays, and I will have a short commute. Testimony by LaShawn Ramos - Keep Your Faith!

Right before the conference I got a job about that was a 6-minute drive from my home, (20 minute wal k), for $7.40/hr. It was a blessing because I hadn’t been working, so this was an answer to prayer. I gave my best to th is job, and in return I got an award for my excellent work and was recommended for a training session of 6 weeks to be come a line leader.

On the second day of the conference, I went shopping with Anita and my engine dropped; one of the th ree motor mounts that support the engine broke. One the way home from the conference, the top mount broke, which lef t just one mount

keeping the engine from completely falling out of my vehicle. It was a blessing that I didn’t have to drive far to work, or could even walk if I needed to, but I kept getting laid off

every week. Sometimes I would only get two days or less per week. So I used my faith on my lunch b reak one day and submitted an online application for Job1. The week that I did this, I came back to work to find out I was released alto - gether. The following week I was notified by a job scout from Job1 who saw my online resume and tho ught I would be a good candidate to for a position at UPS as a guard. Praise God! This job has more pay and no lay o ffs, but I still needed to get my car fixed so I could drive to work.

I got many quotes, and I went to Pastor Barb who told me to pray for the right mechanic and the righ t price. My boys and I thanked Jesus everyday for the van to be fixed. I took it to a shop down the street from my h ouse, and the man told me the cost would be $285 for just one of the mounts to be fixed. I told him I didn’t have that amount, and he pro - ceeded to ask me out to dinner; I refused him and told him I was a Christian, married woman. Anothe r mechanic over - heard me, and encouraged me saying, “Keep your faith,” and said if I buy the parts (under $10 ea.), he would fix it for just $110! I got two done for less than the price of one! God is Good. Testimony by Gary Vaseau - Exceeding and Abundant!

The 15-passenger van that I use to drive for the ministry was over the hill and we needed a new one. At first we were looking at pretty old vans to replace it. It grieved my heart to think that our ministry should hav e old or rusty things. I decided to do everything I could and to pray and believe God for a good van for us. God came throug h miraculously. I had some gravesites available that I had been trying to sell for over a year. Someone called me out of the blue and purchased both of them. Also, the old van sold in less than a week!

God did a wondrous work in many ways and found us a van that looks almost brand new! God also gave us favor with the seller, and he will be blessed for electing to sell to God’s Children over taking a higher offer . God also worked through Pastor Barb and Mack to install a beautiful built-in DVD player for us to watch ministry DVDs for ou r road trips. Plus I get the blessing of using this as my gift to the ministry! Thank you, Lord!

Men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Luke 18:1 We continue to pray for our nation during this time of war. There are still troops fighting, there is still a threat of terror, and there are still those enemies who must be apprehended. (Although not as many as when we began! Praise the Lord!) Although we rejoice in the victories, it is vital that we pray without ceasing. We continue to pray for God’s intervention and protection for our rulers, leaders, and protective services.

PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYING PSALM 91 FOR OUR TROOPS… He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shal l ab ide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward

of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.”

In this section we will attempt to answer questions that seem to puzzle people... both in the world and in the church. We will search the scriptures for answers to some insight into God’s mind in these areas .

QUESTION: “My friend thinks the Bible is helpful to us today. I disagree. Since it was written so long ago, I don’t believe it is...” ANSWER: The Bible contains nothing but the truth, and truth is timeless. The bible is rare in that it is the only written work that validates itself. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness...” (2 Timothy 3:16). This means that the Bible contains valuable information. There is no time limit on that which is valuable; as a matter of fact, value often increases with age. If the Bible were written by mere men alone, the fact that it’s words bring so much comfort and help to humanity world wide would make it of value. Books written centuries ago still are enjoyed by people today, so mere books never lose their value. But is the Bible merely an old book, or is it more than that? According to 2 Peter 1:20-21 holy men of God wrote the Bible as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. This means that God Himself inspired men who were called to serve Him, and told them to write His thoughts. The word of God is timeless, because the author is eternal and lives today, and because He is alive, He can speak to us from the pages of His word, and tell us how to apply His word to our lives today.

to God weaves a rope that holds your way of escape. He’s promised to never leave you or forsake you... He will never abandon you or leave you without help. In this series you will be encouraged in the assurance of God’s miracle provision for you.

PROVERBS WISDOM FOR WOMEN & FOR MEN

Seven Weeks of Devotion and Intercession for Women & Men Around the World

Prayer is so easy. It merely consists of making contact with our Heavenly Father to worship and praise Him though His Word. As we worship Him in spirit and in truth, then the storehouse of Heaven is opened up to us. While at His throne, we often forget that there is someone else, somewhere who has a similar need. These books address that need, and provide a reminder and a focus that allows us to intercede for that other brother or sister, whomever they may be, wherever they may be. God knows who they are and what they need, and He wants you to pray for them.

What’s New from Pastor Shirley... No matter where you are in your walk with the Lord, these books and teaching CDs will give you a deeper understanding of the gift of the Holy Spirit, both for your personal life, as well as wisdom for sharing this Promise with others! As Shirley Camp speaks from her heart and the word of God, you will have the mysteries of God unfold in a new way. Her style of teaching is both revelatory and scriptural. She has mastered the techniques of “reaching” and “imparting” through the anointing of God.

Cares of this life put people under pressure. When the securities that you’ve trusted in fall around you, you have to put your trust in the Living God. We cannot lean on the weak arm of man, but rather on the Rock, Christ Jesus. In today’s world, when the structures we’ve trusted in the past crumble, His is the only sure foundation; and those that hope in Him are never disappointed.
