CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS
MINISTRY
A Ministry Devoted To
Uniting
and Waking Up The Body Of Christ
|
I am a 79
year old retired pastor
living in Maine with my
son. I am very concerned
about the steep
slippery slope the
Christian Church, our
Nation and the world are
currently on.
This website
contains a wealth of information
and Christian links that can be
used to lead people to Christ and
to help unite the Body of Christ.
Everything on this site may be
freely copied and used I only ask
that credit be given to its source
- this website or another
link. This
ministry was started about
14 years ago as I was
encouraged by the Holy
Spirit who led me to this
verse:
Jesus
Prays for All Believers
20 “I do not pray for these
alone, but also for those who
will believe in Me
through their word;
21 that they all may be
one, as You, Father, are
in Me, and I in You; that they
also may be one in Us, that the
world may believe that You sent
Me.
22 And the glory which You gave Me
I have given them, that they may be one
just as We are one:
23 I in them, and You in
Me; that they may be made
perfect in one, and that the world
may know that You have sent Me, and
have loved them as You have loved
Me. (John 17:20-23 NKJV)

WHY
ARE WE
CRYING IN THE
WILDERNESS
AN
ADMONITION AND
WARNING TO THE BODY
OF CHRIST
In
1997, shortly
after entering
full time
ministry, the
Lord gave me a
vision. He
told me that I
would see this
happening in
my lifetime -
I was 56
at the time.
I
saw His Holy
Spirit turn
the churches
upside down
and shake them
violently. I
saw that a few
were falling
out of their
comfortable
pews and into
the world.
When the
churches were
turned right
side up there
were still a
large number
of people in
the churches.
I assumed that
those
remaining in
the churches
were the
true followers
of Christ.
In
2003 as I was
pastoring a
small rural
church I was
given the rest
of the
vision.
I saw "The
Body of
Christ" - the
true believers
- meeting and
worshiping in
their homes;
witnessing in
the streets;
ministering to
the lost with
the love of
Christ. They
were giving of
themselves
much more than
of their money
and worldly
goods. They
were truly
fulfilling the
Great
Commission and
being His
ambassadors -
bringing the
agape love of
Christ to
sinners.
Many were
repenting of
their sin and
coming to
Christ as His
people.
As this was happening those who were remaining in the
"churches"
were
persecuting
the "True
Followers of
Christ".
I
spent my
entire career
in industry
and ministry
making
presentations
and teaching.
Now the Lord
has called me
to bring a
word to His
Body
encouraging
them to go
forth and be
what He has
prepared them
for.
(Ephesians
2:10;1
Corinthians
12-14 -
Spiritual
Gifts) Crying
in the
Wilderness
Ministry
exists to help
train - equip
- and release
- the Saints
for the work
of the
ministry.
The Lord has
called us to
encourage
unity in His
Body (John
17:23) and to
warn "the
called out
ones" that He
has given them
a great
commission.
Often I hear
Him say: IF
NOT YOU
WHO? IF
NOT NOW WHEN?
I
am now 78
years old and
I am living in
Vassalboro,
Maine with my
son. However,
I am still
available to
help bring the
WORD to the
world that
those who do
not have a
relationship
with Jesus
might be saved
through Him.
There is a lot
of material on
this site and
I encourage
you to view it
and use it to
lead others to
Christ
MY
DISCLAIMER:
(Adopted
from: http://www.inthebeginning.com/
)
I
probably do
not agree with
everything
that anyone
has to say,
nor have I
ever totally
agreed with
anyone I have
met in life.
This probably
includes you.
And there
probably isn't
anyone out
there who
agrees with
everything I
believe or
have to say
either. I am
not your
spiritual
father,
teacher, and
definitely not
your Lord or
the Holy
Spirit, nor am
I your priest
(See
Matt23:8-10,
Heb3:1,
1Peter2:9,
etc). If I
only
referenced
sources that I
considered
perfect, then
I probably
wouldn't be
able to
reference any,
including my
own. Now that
I have said
that, I do
believe there
is truth to be
found in every
teaching I do.
It is up to
you and the
Holy Spirit in
you to discern
what is good,
and to ponder
or reject the
rest. So, that
is all I have
to say about
that, thus
ending my
disclaimer.
