Church Back in the Barn at former Heritage USA/PTL location - Antioch International Church, with Dr. Peter Wyns

Dr. Peter Wyns

Peter Wyns, a Messianic Jew and grandson of Derek Prince, as Senior Pastor leads Antioch International Church in the purchase of the former Heritage USA & PTL property purchase.

Dr.Peter Wyns greets the people gathered for the 1st Sunday meeting of Antioch International Church in their new location at Regent Park, Fort Mill, SC.

This is the former Barn of Heritage USA & the PTL Club, that was built in the mid 1980's on the famous Christian ministry family resort property. Now having bought the Barn, the Studio and the offices/school rooms on the accompanying 16 acres almost 30 years later, the leading pastors Peter & Joy Wyns, Jesse and Elizabeth Enns, along with the church leadership, look to again use this tremendous property for the glory, purposes and purposes of the Lord. 

Along with them, as members of their Christians For Messiah Ministries board, Laurie and I anticipate seeing great events again happening in this beautifully restored property.

Blessings on ye heads!

Julie Joyner - A Woman of the Lord

Julie Joyner - MorningStar

Julie Joyner, the wife of Rick Joyner (MorningStar Ministries), is a woman of God. 

My wife Laurie and I have known her since our moving to Charlotte in 1994. She was very helpful in connecting us with Harry & Louise Bizell of Lamb's Chapel, as Mahesh, Bonnie Chavda and I looked for a place to move All Nations Church from Ft. Lauderdale to Charlotte. 

And I ended up having my office for Mahesh Chavda Ministries/All Nations Church in the small farm house they had formerly lived in. In fact, the same black stove pipe fireplace in the middle of the room by my desk was there in the same place they had occupied when first moving to Charlotte too. Nice.

Many of you may know her for her beautiful, soft music - shared through her voice and on her guitar. We personally have both her Christmas CD, Christmas Memories, and her other music CD. Morning Light. (You can buy both at the MorningStar webstore link below.)

Following are photos from a "Night With Julie Joyner" on April 3, 2014 during the MorningStar "50+Joshua & Caleb Generation Gathering". (Her 14 songs she sang can be found on the Love For His People YouTube channel.)












What you may not know about Julie is her passion for making Christmas Child shoeboxes for Franklin Graham's ministry Samaritan's Purse. She has been doing this for years. Now she has found a way to raise money to pay for the tens of thousands of boxes she sees done on an annual basis, by having a BAZAAR (2nd hand store) in the Grand Ballroom of the MorningStar Ministries main building. And just recently, when I first walked into the room to see for myself, there she was, manning the cash register!

Julie at the cash register helping some buyers.







Julie's heart burns with passion to bless the children of the world with a shoebox each Christmas. I hope you support her in this mission - both through the BAZAAR resale shop, the upcoming boutique she will open on Main Street for "upscale" clothing for women (and maybe the guys too??!!) and when the time comes to put those shoeboxes together for the kids.

Blessings on ye head Julie!

With our love,

Steve and Laurie Martin

Paul Keith Davis: A New Season - The Church is Entering an Age of Militancy and Spiritual Confrontation

Paul Keith Davis:
The Elijah List

Paul Keith & Wanda DavisWith the passing of our friend Bob Jones and many other powerful saints, there seems to be a clear message of transition and transformation being heralded by the Spirit.

After Bob's passing the Lord highlighted to me Philippians 3:20-21 saying:

For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.

By supernatural grace many will be transformed from a humble state into conformity with the body of His glory through the exertion of His power. This is a divine impartation that I believe will mark many in this season and change them forever. Paul clearly had such an experience on the road to Damascus (see Acts 9). Jacob likewise was radically transformed at the river Jabbok (see Genesis 32).

It will be like a baptism of fire coming upon those who have been set apart and prepared to be mightily anointed in this juncture of Church history. 

The Lord clearly has a strategic blueprint that is continuing to display His perfect plan and purpose for this age. It is His road map to the Prince of Peace with signposts along the way to indicate progress.
  
Having Insight with Understanding

This crossroad is presently alerting us to a present release of spiritual virtue and Heavenly power for the vessels that have gone through a grooming and purging process in order to qualify them to carry this dimension of His authority. 

The Angel speaking with Daniel referenced this reality and its timing saying:

He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time." Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. Daniel 12:9-10

We are now broaching the completion of a spiritual stepping stone that ultimately leads to the Throne of Heaven. Many of the central figures used in the process of completing this important step in God's plan are receiving their Heavenly reward and crossing over into eternity. 

The Lord spoke it to us this way:
"These men and women have been carried to their reward so others can take the next step to go far beyond the valuable foundation established by these devoted leaders. As Elijah was a prophet in the wilderness, the Lord will now establish the Elisha's who will be prophets to the masses." 

These Godly saints going home have left us with a rich heritage and a responsibility to carry Heaven's torch to greater heights. No longer will the Lord's anointed ones be hidden in the wilderness. They will now be revealed on a broad scale to a number of people in a corporate way. 

A new generation of radical prophetic voices will now emerge who have encountered Heaven and carry a fresh expression from God's heart.

The prophet Elijah once prayed and observed a cloud the size of a man's hand on the horizon of Israel. So also can we now perceive a new cloud to bring the "reign" of Heaven on our spiritual horizon! 

The prophetic prayers offered to the Lord for the release of governmental leadership will now be answered in a more pronounced way!

Becoming Militant

StageThe Church is entering an age of militancy and spiritual confrontation. 

The "end of days" is characterized with great conflict. The struggle between "light" and "darkness" will continually escalate. We are entering days that will introduce amplified revelations of God's Kingdom and Heaven's spiritual economy. The Bible plainly foretells this battle as violent and spiritually bloody.

The Kingdom of Heaven truly suffers violence and God's army must take it by force. As was prophesied, "The Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it." 

Our adversary will not willingly hand-over his influence in this earth without conflict. We may as well come to an understanding of this reality and accept it as a part of our generational calling.

Redemption was purchased in a most violent way. The shedding of the Lord's Blood was brutal and unattractive to the natural eye. Nonetheless, it was the greatest demonstration of divine love ever expressed. 

The innocent blood of Abel cried out from the ground with a prophetic voice of recompense. Jesus is the mediator of a new and better covenant; His Blood speaks better things than that of Abel (see Hebrews 12:24).

It is the destiny of this generation of overcoming saints to enter the "fullness of the stature of Christ." It will be there calling to "taste the good word of God and the powers of the age to come" (see Hebrews 6:5). 

We have only seen isolated forerunners who introduced this more excellent way. A new day is upon us! This divine Life is in the Blood of Jesus; our quest is for a more comprehensive apprehension of its power.

Moving on to Maturity

The victory has already been won; it is now our place to appropriate it. This process is necessary for our spiritual development and maturation to rule and reign with Him as priests and kings. 

It would be quite simple for the Lord to eradicate every evil influence standing in our way. However, it is His desire to achieve it through us in a series of victorious battles that bring us to spiritual maturity. 
These will be days of "blood and fire." 

Greater appreciation of the redemptive virtue of God's Blood and fiery conflicts between good and evil will prevail in coming days

Something truly noteworthy has been imparted into the spiritual DNA of this generation who qualify as overcomers – they are jealous for God in a militant way. 

The Lord is a Warrior and those joined to Him share in His warlike attributes. 

His ministers are as a flame of fire and the angelic hosts assigned to co-labor with us are as winds that fuel the fire. This anointing will begin to address the "lukewarm" condition prevalent in much of the Western Church. 

Emerging Warriors

The Open Door by Robert BartowGreat warriors will emerge in this hour. The Holy Spirit is preparing a body of people to expose spiritual gates and open everlasting doors that the King of Glory may come in. He will reveal Himself as the awesome man of war Who is strong and mighty in battle (Psalm 24:7-8). 

Substantial authority will be given to this warring band to sever the head from spiritual influences that have successfully stolen the inheritance of God's people.

According to Psalm 74:14, "You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, and gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness."

God intends to retrieve His precious gifts and the vessels to which they are entrusted. These days will see many who are leaders of wickedness become vessels of light and righteousness. This is true in both the natural and spiritual arena. God is able! 

Gleaning from the Past

For the past two decades I have had a keen interest in understanding modern revivals and the positive things that were done and also understanding failures and mistakes. 

Part of the mandate for this generation is to recapture and restore to the Church our lost heritage.

Many forerunners and pioneers obtained a testimony from God and blazed a spiritual trail that left an indelible mark upon their generation and understood this high place in God. 

Recently I was sharing some of the great things the Lord has shown prophetically that He will do in the last days through His mature sons and His spotless Bride. Someone then asked me, "How can these things be? They seem so tremendous!" When I inquired of the Lord the response came authoritatively saying, 

"Tell them there's power in the Blood. Tell them there will be the full appropriation of My Blood before the end comes."

Without the shedding of Blood there would be no forgiveness of sin or end-time plan of redemption (Hebrews 9:22). This empowerment will likewise be carried to the four corners of the earth. 

God is about to download, through His government, messages that teach and preach Calvary's Cross in profoundly powerful ways.

The Body of Christ has scarcely touched the great redemptive truths of the Cross; these will prepare the Bride for her union with the Bridegroom. The enthusiastic preaching of Christ's shed Blood will be recaptured in the Church through great revivalist in the order of John Wesley and George Whitefield. 

New Wave of Revivalist

George WhitefieldI was just recently in New London, Connecticut and preached from the very pulpit from which George Whitefield declared Great Awakening in 1740. You could feel the richness of the heritage and God's desire to release a new wave of revivalist to our generation. 


Likewise, pastors and teachers will discover notable anointing on messages that stress the importance of the Lord's sacrifice and the great price of redemption. The Lord is coming with the now "opened" book of redemption in His hand. We are called to "eat it" and prophesy great mysteries of the Kingdom to every nation, tongue and people (Revelation 10:8-10).

As in all wars, liberty and freedom are acquired at a cost. These realities will be imparted to those willing to consider the cost and pay it freely. 

We pay the price by allowing the pruning of the Holy Spirit so we may know Christ, the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. There is power in the Blood of Jesus Christ.

Coffee Time with Jesus
Now Think On This
Steve Martin



"Now come and have some breakfast!" Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish. This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.” John 21:12-14 New Living Translation


I had just finished making the 6-cup pot of coffee, went and got the Charlotte Observer Sunday paper for Laurie on the front yard, and sat down in my black prayer chair in the front room. I had already been up for a few hours to work on some social media for our ministry Love For His People. Now I was ready to spend some quiet time with the Lord.

But before I did, I picked up my iPhone 4 to send a photo to my long time, best friend Kevin in Illinois. He was working again that morning, the 5 am to 5 pm weekend shift. I like encouraging him with artwork I get off Facebook, with sayings, Scriptures, photos, etc. It gets lonely for him at times, being single for the last 26 years and longing for a wife.

The picture I sent Kevin had a cup of coffee on it, with words declaring the goodness of the Lord. With all the coffee drinkers out there, I also put it on my Facebook page after I had text Kevin with it. Then the Lord spoke to me, something like this. “I enjoy it too when you have coffee with Me.”

Wow. I never thought of it that way. Our Lord Jesus enjoys it when we just sit quietly, drinking a cup of coffee with Him. That surely brings a pleasant thought to my mind and warms my heart. And from what I know of our Father, it surely does to His heart of love too.

Our God, ever present with us, enjoys us so much that He even wants to just spend those times we have, sitting with a cup of java, reading the paper, and starting the day off before it gets too busy. He enjoys the time we give Him. Even the simple, short moments out of our day.

I think of Jesus’ time when He walked the earth with His disciples. Being the Son of Man, I believe the Scriptures that say He had emotions, physical needs, and a manner of life around Him that we face daily. That is why He came, to pay the price required by a Holy God, so we could enjoy eternity in fellowship with Him in heaven. His death and resurrection made the way for this to happen. His love for us was, is, and ever shall be that much. Awesome Lord.

As our personal Lord and Savior, Messiah, Yeshua Ha Mashiach, we have the opportunity now to spend time with Him, as we walk this planet. The eternity in our hearts began anew when we have repented of our sins, accepted His costly shed blood for the forgiveness of our sins, and now can walk the chosen path He has planned for us – to share His love with those around us.

I used to not be a coffee drinker. But I have come to like the taste, with plenty of cream in it, and enjoy the mug full almost every day. Now I know that even in those times, I can invite the Lord to sit with me, talk of the day to come, and just share a bit of our hearts together. He tells me things to be aware of, who to pray for, and how to encourage another that needs His touch today.

It is not a religious thing at all. It is my Friend sharing time with me. And I with Him.

Have a cup of coffee, and enjoy your time with your Friend. You both will enjoy it.
