My How Time Flies!
It does not seem like I have "neglected" this blog site for three months...but I have...and for that I apologize! During the preceding three months, we have been EXTREMELY busy here at Freedom Through Faith Ministries.
In October, we started our very own Internet Radio Station...streaming 24 hours a day across the entire world! Go to www.FTFChristianradio.com and click on the link to listen in whenever you can (PLEASE!). Freedom Through Faith Christian Radio was designed to "Empower Others to Impact Their World with the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Since our inception, we now have several major names in ministry broadcasting on our station. We have opened our "station" to churches, pastors and ministers from around the nation. Many have expressed interest in broadcasting on our station and several have submitted programming. In the first 90 days, our station continued to climb in world wide rankings into the TOP 22% of ALL online Internet Radio Stations hosted on the Live365 servers! To God be the Glory!!! AMEN?!
In January 2012, we are conducting a couple of "Skype" meetings with church leaders in India. Our purpose is to promote our concept of "Impacting the World with the Gospel" to them and assist them in their efforts also. We envision providing them - FREE of charge - several hours each day in prime time (for their locale - which is "over night" here in the US), to preach the Word to their own people, in their own language, not just in their own towns and villages, but across the world (where ever their people live). It is exciting to see how God is promoting and growing this station and ministry!
PLUS - beginning on Monday, January 2, 2012 - at 6am ET (US), I will begin a LIVE call in program on the radio station. "Freedom in the Morning" will discuss current news events from a Biblical perspective, provide some scripture readings and music - as well as the ability for listeners to call in an be part of the program. From asking questions, to requesting prayer; from giving Praise Reports to making comments...our listeners will be LIVE by calling toll free 1-888-574-3836.
So, during the past three months...it has been a "full time" job to get this station up and running...working out the bugs...getting the kinks ironed out...promoting the station...editing programs, etc. But it has all been worth it. We have covered the "start up" phase of the first 90 days. We are now ready for the "growth stage." That will be exciting to watch!!!
I ask each and everyone of you - PLEASE - listen in when you can. Forward this Blog to your friends as well. Go to www.FTFChristianradio.com and click on the link to listen in. Forward the link to your friends and ask them to listen in. The more listeners we have, the higher our rankings. The higher our rankings, then more ministries will want to broadcast with us. The more ministries that want to broadcast with us....the more the Word of God is being sent out into the world!!!
And that is what this ministry and this radio station is all about!!! To get the Word OUT!
Be Blessed in All You Do!!!

Freedom Through Faith Christian Radio
I want to make everyone aware of our efforts to start and "own" our very own Internet Radio Station! It will be called "Freedom Through Faith Christian Radio" and is designed to "Get The Word Out" 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
We are going to utilize a revolutionary concept. Instead of simply broadcasting in English (or any other single language, as 99% of the current radio stations do), we are going to ROTATE languages! That's right! Based upon different geographic time zones and the support we get from churches and ministries interested in other countries - we will be rotating languages.
How does it work? Here is an example I provided our Board of Directors.
Let's start with English. Based upon the Eastern Time Zone in the United States, we will broadcast in English from, say 11am until 6pm. Then, we will shift to the Pacific Island nations, broadcasting say, 2-3 hours of programming, in their language, to their people - from about 1pm - 3 or 4pm in their time zone. Then, we shift to Korean, Chinese, Japanese (depending on the interested ministries in that area) - again, broadcasting 2-3 hours from the same time, 1pm - 3 or 4 pm in their time zone.
We then shift to Hindi for 5 hours. From about 1pm -6pm or so - in their time zone. We then shift to the Russian language for 2-3 hours, same concept. Then into French or German for 2-3 hours. We can then go into the Spanish language from say, 8am Eastern Time until we switch back into English at 11am. Then - we do it all over again!
We are already making contacts and have several ministries who have expressed interest in broadcasting on this Internet Radio Station. The concept is to allow start-up ministries and ministries whose budget does not allow them to enter the "traditional" broadcast market, to do so at steeply discounted rates.
For example, a 30 minute, once per week broadcast, on a traditional AM radio station, usually averages anywhere from $50 to $100 per program episode (I know, because we are doing this on four stations around the country right now). We are going to offer the same, 30 minute program, once per week, for $20 per month! A DAILY program will only be $50 per month!
The overseas ministries, those whose economy is depressed, we are going to offer even steeper discounts! In some cases, we will even sow the time to them. The purpose is to allow these churches and pastors from these other nations to be able to tell "their congregations" to listen in while at work or at home, via their computer, from whatever time their language is on (i.e. 1pm - 5pm). It allows their people to listen, in their own language, to the Word of God.
We are excited about this concept. We have the plans. We have the equipment to get started. We have a platform that will support our initial steps with a budget WE can afford. We are almost finished with the technical aspects and within the next couple of weeks we will begin the BETA testing for a month or so. Then - we will be ready to send the Word Around the World, touching hearts and changing lives!
It is anticipated, based upon feedback we have already received, that this will be a very popular tool to allow ministries called into Broadcast Ministry to fulfill their calling. We see the future need to upgrade our delivery platform in order to ensure high quality transmission and ease of use.
To do this, we have established a budge of $5000 for the first year. That allows us to upgrade equipment and the platform. That is the entire cost of the first year of operations. This means we do not have to put pressure on ministries to increase their support or face the possibility of shutting down operations when the ministries that "jump in" are just getting their listenership going. We will NOT upgrade until we have the entire first year operational costs ready to pay in advance.
To help raise these costs, we have established a donation page. This page will allow you to get further details of what we are doing, how we anticipate doing what God has called us to do, and provide you with an opportunity to sow into the radio station. Please visit the link below

(yes, I know, there is NO "dot" where it is supposed to be .com. The Go Fund Me techs are working on that).
If you have or know of a ministry that would like more information on entering the Broadcast Ministry Market with our station, please tell them to email me at brotherbob@ftfm.org or visit our website at www.ftfm.org and contact us.
Thank you and remember - Be Blessed in All You Do!

Rev. 18 and the Downfall of the World Economic System
The current events all over the news lately has already been foretold - in the Bible! Let me start by saying I DO NOT believe Rev. 18 is taking place right now...but, we are seeing the "shadow" of what is about to take place. This is just the "prelude" to the REAL THING!
It is God's last warning to His People to get right with how we are handling our money...STOP relying on the Government and turn back to relying on God!
This system of government and this economic system was founded by MAN trying to do things his way and not God's Way. The tower of Babel was man's attempt to reach Heaven without God! That is why God spoke one Word - BABEL! And total confusion was given to man's language. But now, man is trying to come together again, despite language differences - not to honor God, but to PROVE man does not need God! The news is full of talk about the "One World Order...the World's Economy, etc."
The sins of Babylon are AGAIN, come up to remembrance before God's Throne. Up to now, God has extended His Grace...but no more! You can see God beginning to destroy the works of man's hands! The leaders and rulers of this One World Order are at a complete loss of ideas on what to do! What is the "best thing" they have come up with? "SPEND MORE MONEY, INCREASE THE NATIONAL DEBT - IN ORDER TO GET THE ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN!"
How do you "go deeper into debt" in order to "get out of debt?" That does not make any sense at all! But that is what our "leaders" have come up with! IDIOTS! Everyone one of them! They may "say" they are believers...but yet the DO the exact things God says NOT TO DO!
My warning to all - is get your house in order! Jesus is coming soon! Rev. 18 talks in extreme detail EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY! Governments all over this world - including the United States - are going bankrupt! The entire talk is "how to save these governments!" How to save these "companies that are too big to fail!" That is the purpose and underlying theme of true capitalism! If a company gets too greedy and makes mistakes - they pay the price - even to the point of going out of business! And other, more stable, companies will buy them up at discount prices and turn them into profitable companies! This INCREASES the revenue to the government thru taxes! But what does our government do? They use precious tax money to prop up these companies! And then the leaders of the companies GIVE to the politicians and TO THEMSELVES!
The latest big Stimulus Package is mostly sitting in the banks! The banks have used this money to secure their bottom line instead of "giving loans" as the money was supposed to be used for! But, the government did not force them to live up to the intent of the distribution. Why? Political friends!
This nation - the United States of America - is on the decline! I hate to say it! I love my country...but what I see makes me sick! The protests we have witnessed in other nations WILL come here! Just give it time! In my opinion - all of our national leaders need to Repent! They have squandered what God has given this nation and made us dependent on foreign countries to "loan us money." This nation is supposed to be the "RICHEST" nation on earth! Now, we are the one who owes EVERYBODY!
God is going to include this nation under His Divine Judgement - as outlined in Rev 18! The "shadow" of this judgement is beginning to show itself!
Get Ready!

Sign of the End Times
I was reading today that President Obama is pushing for the United Nations to approve a resolution by the Palestinian Authority to recognize their right to independence to pre-1967 borders. This basically "kicks" Israel out of their country and with no ability to protect themselves.
Here is the link:
Middle East Quartet meeting 'excellent', says U.S. official
Here is the link:
Middle East Quartet meeting 'excellent', says U.S. official
Representatives of the U.S., Russia, the EU and the UN dined in Washington and discussed renewing direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, but made no public statement.
The United States has ALWAYS backed Israel, until now. Obama has been negotiating with Russia and the EU to get this resolution passed by September.
Folks, this is a sign of the End Times! The Bible clearly states that in the last days, the "whole world" will come against Israel. You can see the final battle plans taking shape right now, if this goes through.
Israel WILL NOT bow to the UN resolution and will fight for its survival. The entire world always believed the US would back Israel. Until now.
Obama has even said he would support the Palestinians in a "resistance" movement if this resolution is approved (i.e. fight AGAINST Israel).
If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, your time is running out.
If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, you will be left behind when the Believers are removed prior to the "battle" taking place and all of the turmoil that will go with it.
Look at the economy of the "world" right now. It is in shambles. Just like the Bible predicted it would be. Look at the immorality running rampant in the "world" today...just like the Bible said it would be.
Look at the "promotion" of homosexuality in the "world" today...just like the Bible said it would be.
What makes you think the Bible would be "wrong" in this area? It's not wrong... It is right on target.
If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, all you have to do is get your Bible and read Romans 10:9-10 "If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation."
If you prayed that prayer, email at Brotherbob@ftfm.org and I will send you some information absolutely free of charge. I will even pay the postage on it. If you need more information, go to our website at www.ftfm.org and browse around.
Time is running out..."Get Right, or get Left."

The Evidence You Cannot See
Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now, Faith is the substance of the things you hope for and the evidence of the things you cannot see." What I want to share briefly is the EVIDENCE of the things you cannot see.
As I was praying this morning, the Lord showed me how this scripture works IN our favor! You see, I know 1 John 5:14-15 states, "If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know He hears us, then we know we receive the petitions we desired of Him." Jesus taught in Mark 11:22-24 that we were to "have Faith in God....believe you receive the things you ask for as you pray, and you shall receive them."
Ok, look at like this (this what the Lord showed me this morning). Are you saved? (yes). How do you know? I know because Romans 10:9 says "Whosoever shall confess with his mouth and believe with his heart that God raised Jesus from the dead shall be saved." "OK" the Lord said, "but why do you believe this?" "Because it's in your Word and your Word is true, John 17:17" I responded. He said, "That's right, but HOW do you know you are saved?" I said, "I believe by Faith." That is when He said this, "So, because you seen it in my Word and prayed the scripture and BELIEVED it when you prayed it...nobody can talk you out of it?" I replied with, "That is exactly right." His response was, "When did you receive it?" (The moment I prayed). "When will you see the manifestation of it?" he asked. "Well" I replied, "when I get to Heaven...but it is also evident on this earth in my daily life."
"So," the Lord said, "you believed you received it when you prayed...and got it. But you will not see the actual manifestation of it until later...but yet, you KNOW you got it and the benefits of it are being seen in your life right now."
Now, I may have been born at night...but not last night! The Light came on! I SEE what He was talking about. "And about healing," He continued, "When did you receive your healing?" "That's easy," I answered, "You took care of that at Cavalry. By your stripes, we WERE healed! And, if we WERE healed, that means we ARE healed."
"So," the Lord said, "You believe you receive your healing as soon as pray for it?" "That's correct," I said. "But, what about the symptoms of the sickness that linger on your body for a few more days? the Lord asked. "Well, I stand on your Word and I am not moved by what I see or what I feel, but I am moved only by your Word...and your Word says I am healed."
"Good," the Lord complimented. "So, you believe you receive as you pray. You are not moved by what you see, but yet you KNOW you received what you prayed for. It worked the same way as your salvation. Correct?" "YES," I answered.
"So you KNOW you received...even when you cannot see it? And simply because you CAN see it in the Word? Is that right?" the Lord asked. "YES, that is correct" I responded.
"So, the EVIDENCE is because you CANNOT SEE IT. You must take it by Faith, KNOWING you received. Once you have the manifestation...no further FAITH is required on your part." I was starting to SEE with my Faith exactly what He was talking about!!!
You see folks, when we pray...and pray according to the scriptures (I have said over and over, "If you can find ONE example in the Bible where the Lord answered someones prayer in a situation similar to yours, you can stand on it and take to Him in prayer to get your answer also)...we can BELIEVE He hears us and, since we KNOW He hears us, we can now KNOW we receive the petitions we desired of Him. We have the PROOF that we receive because WE KNOW in our heart it is so...the PROOF (the EVIDENCE) is because WE CANNOT YET SEE THE MANIFESTATION!
It is the EVIDENCE WE CANNOT SEE that gives our Faith what it needs to grow. Once the manifestation comes...we can no longer grow in our Faith in that area. So it is OUR FAITH that is needed to grow...and that brings the manifestation. Jesus said, "Be onto you according to your Faith." Give your Faith a chance to grow by BELIEVING you RECEIVE and thanking HIM because YOU CANNOT SEE IT YET WITH YOUR NATURAL EYES - BUT USE YOUR EYE OF FAITH!!!
And give Him Praise for the Answered Prayer!
Be Blessed,
Brother Bob

Season of Tests and Trials
Have you ever wondered WHY situations arise that try to get you off of the work you want to do for God? I mean, in my life, I am trying to go full throttle working for God, and then WHAM, I get broadsided with stuff that I did not even have any part in!!!
I am not going to go into detail, but now, today, I am preparing to go to the Police Department to file a written response to a Letter of Complaint which was mailed "in my name; with a forged signature" making outrageous claims that I have never declared...a NASTY letter, full of racial overtones and such...it makes me sick and MAD at the same time!
Thank God the Major assigned to conduct the investigation called me...I told him I had absolutely NOTHING to do with this letter. So, today, I am going in with a written statement totally absolving myself of this thing...I am also asking for a complete and thorough investigation be made to expose the person who did write this.
Thank God for His Word. Immediately after I found out about this letter, the Lord dropped Isaiah 54:17 into my spirit, "No weapon formed against me will prosper and every tongue that rises against me in judgement, I will condemn, saith the Lord...for your righteousness is of me saith the Lord." PRAISE GOD! Then, although I have prayed to forgive the person who did this thing, I also asked the Lord to uphold Psalms 109:7-8 where the person who did this thing will be brought before the judge and his prayer turn into sin and he be removed from his office and it be given to another. In other words, may he be exposed, judged and what he was praying for (an investigation) be turned against him...then judgement be rendered and his position on the police force be terminated and replaced with another.
Well, Brother Bob, that sounds harsh!!! I thought you forgave him. I DID! I could pursue legal ramifications for Libel and Slander. But, after praying, I will not. However, the office of a police officer must be above reproach. If he is discovered and only gets a slap on the wrist, this will come back in his career later. He could be promoted and end up in charge of a large, major criminal investigation. Then, the defense attorney obtains a copy of his police file and asks in court, "Did you ever commit fraud? NO? What about this....?" Then turn to the judge and say, "Not only did he commit fraud, but he is lying about now, while under oath. We cannot trust anything this officer says." And the whole case will be thrown out and every case he ever worked on would be under appeal.
This person, by doing this act, violated his oath and now must be judged and removed from his office, regardless of rank or position.
I started this out talking about a Season of Tests and Trials...Seasons, tests and trials are not permanent. Just like summer, fall, winter and spring...they are a cycle. So, stand fast in the Lord, never loose Faith that God is in control. Psalms 66:12 says when we have gone through the Fire and through the Flood, God will bring us out into a WEALTHY PLACE! Daniel 20:20-21 says that the seasons are under God's control - not the devil's. When God says your season of trials and temptations are over - they are OVER! Praise God!
Well, I guess I better get going. Off to file this police report.
Be Blessed everyone and thanks for allowing me to vent.

So, today, I am going in with a written statement totally absolving myself of this thing...I am also asking for a complete and thorough investigation be made to expose the person who did write this.
Thank God for His Word. Immediately after I found out about this letter, the Lord dropped Isaiah 54:17 into my spirit, "No weapon formed against me will prosper and every tongue that rises against me in judgement, I will condemn, saith the Lord...for your righteousness is of me saith the Lord." PRAISE GOD! Then, although I have prayed to forgive the person who did this thing, I also asked the Lord to uphold Psalms 109:7-8 where the person who did this thing will be brought before the judge and his prayer turn into sin and he be removed from his office and it be given to another. In other words, may he be exposed, judged and what he was praying for (an investigation) be turned against him...then judgement be rendered and his position on the police force be terminated and replaced with another.
Well, Brother Bob, that sounds harsh!!! I thought you forgave him. I DID! I could pursue legal ramifications for Libel and Slander. But, after praying, I will not. However, the office of a police officer must be above reproach. If he is discovered and only gets a slap on the wrist, this will come back in his career later. He could be promoted and end up in charge of a large, major criminal investigation. Then, the defense attorney obtains a copy of his police file and asks in court, "Did you ever commit fraud? NO? What about this....?" Then turn to the judge and say, "Not only did he commit fraud, but he is lying about now, while under oath. We cannot trust anything this officer says." And the whole case will be thrown out and every case he ever worked on would be under appeal.
This person, by doing this act, violated his oath and now must be judged and removed from his office, regardless of rank or position.
I started this out talking about a Season of Tests and Trials...Seasons, tests and trials are not permanent. Just like summer, fall, winter and spring...they are a cycle. So, stand fast in the Lord, never loose Faith that God is in control. Psalms 66:12 says when we have gone through the Fire and through the Flood, God will bring us out into a WEALTHY PLACE! Daniel 20:20-21 says that the seasons are under God's control - not the devil's. When God says your season of trials and temptations are over - they are OVER! Praise God!
Well, I guess I better get going. Off to file this police report.
Be Blessed everyone and thanks for allowing me to vent.

Back from the 4th of July Holiday?
I hope and pray everyone had a Blessed 4th of July! I did not take a vacation this year. Instead, I focused on spending time in God's Word, spending time with Him and spending time with my family. In retrospect - this was probably one of the best 4th of July's I have every had!
I have been following the Southwest Believers Convention on the Internet - every service so far! I wanted to be there - LIVE - this year, but with the transition to full time ministry, I felt the need to stay at home and work on ministry "things" instead of traveling. But, I am following EVERY SERVICE as if I were there. I have an entire notebook almost filled up with notes! Glory to God!
One thing I wanted to share with everyone, is a comment Brother Kenneth Copeland made the first night. It just resonated in my spirit: "God founded Israel because He Loved His people. People founded the United States of America, because the people LOVED GOD! And God will NOT forget either country!"
Isn't that a great revelation? I hope it Blesses you as much as it did me.
Until Next Time...Be Blessed!

PRAYER ON THE FLOOR OF THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
On 6-21-2011, my wife and I had a chance to take our Grand Daughter, Zoe, to the Heritage of Faith Capitol Tour in DC. We were able to tour the National Gardens before the tour, also. The highlight, was when we received an unexpected blessing to go on the actual FLOOR of the US House of Representatives with our group of Pastors.
After approximately a 20 minute briefing by Congressman Braun (R-GA) on the House floor, the group was able to pray ON THE FLOOR, for the Lord to continue Blessing this nation. Then, as the group began to file out, my wife, myself and Zoe stayed behind (allowing most of the group to leave) and we prayed a special, Holy Ghost Anointed prayer request for the LORD to guide the thoughts and hearts of all the House Members that walk on that floor; that HIS WILL is done, not man's.
That is the part I will take from the tour, as well as for my Grand Daughter... and we give ALL PRAISE TO GOD!!! (Unfortunately, there were no pictures allowed to be taken on the House Floor, but it was a Blessing to be allowed to go there and an even BIGGER BLESSING TO KNOW THAT A RIGHTEOUS, POWER PACKED PRAYER WAS MADE THERE!).

All as part of the service. It is also being recorded and will post to the Talkshoe account about one hour after the broadcast ends - so you can tell your friends to listen in!
Just click on the green "Talkshoe" link on this page - and it will take you right to our account with the information for you to listen in and participate! We also have the same link on our website at www.ftfm.org.

Urgent Prayer for Pakistan
It has been brought to my attention of a very serious situation concerning our brother and sister Christians in Pakistan. Leading Islamic Clerics have petitioned the highest court in Pakistan to issue an edict under the "Blasphemy Law" which will "outlaw" the possession of the Christian Bible. Approval of this edict under this provision of law would "allow" the immediate lynching and execution of anyone caught possessing a Christian Bible - regardless if it was for personal use or not.
This is in response to the Florida Pastor who burned the Koran and the recent American raid in killing Bin Laden on Pakistani soil has given fuel to this fire. The Pakistani government is under immense pressure to approve this edict.
I ask for Christians everywhere who reads this Blog to PLEASE, PLEASE - PRAY for our Brother and Sister Christians in Pakistan. God is Faithful and will answer the Prayers of the Righteous when asked in Faith. So please pray for this - and pass it along to others as well.

Happy New Year!
Hello everyone!
I hope and pray you have been able to settle down a little bit since all of the "running around" during the Holiday's! It has been a busy month or so since I last posted. With all of the Christmas activities, family activities, work activities, ministry activities...it seems like I was running from one activity to another with almost no time for myself!
Well, now we can settle down into the "routine" of day to living for God! Let's never forget that the time we spend with God is QUALITY TIME. You cannot spend time with God and come away empty. It is impossible!
So, I encourage you to make the quality, firm decision to spend time in God's Word (let me tell you a secret - if you spend time in God's Word, you will find Him there....). Try to start each and every day with some time in the Word. If you do that, you will find that God will be directing your paths and planning your day with you. You will be able to accomplish more with less and have more left over!
Until next time...be Blessed.
Bro. Bob
