Matt shares a prophetic word about the revival of the fear of the Lord.

My Committment to the Body of Christ In Light of the Elections

As I sit here and watch the results of our election on the news, I am hearing it said that "A conservative era is over."

I have made a decision tonight. My goal as a Christian minister in America is to teach Christians how to live the Christian life in the midst of a culture that is turning more and more away from the standards and morals that bring joy to God's heart. My goal is to teach people how to stand for what they believe in, even if the laws endorse the opposite. My passion is to teach Christians to live holy in an unholy world. No matter what comes, we must continue to seek God with all our hearts, live completely for Him and continue to SHINE our light in the world and culture around us.

The darker it gets outside, the brighter our light will shine. There is a greater glory coming. Maybe that greater glory will be seen in the midst of greater darkness.

As I watch Obama's acceptance speech and hear him say that all Americans are one, including both gay and straight (using those words exactly) I am deeply concerned in my heart for the direction our nation has just turned in. Change has come. Exactly what that means will unfold in the days ahead.

Even though I am concerned what will be endorsed in America in this new era, I know we must pray for Obama. We must pray for his salvation, wisdom to be granted from the Lord, and for our nation's heart to turn toward God more than ever in this time.

Church, it is time to shine! Live the life you were created to live. When the world calls evil, good and good, evil, we must stand for TRUTH no matter what.

People may want CHANGE. But one thing that never changes, is the word of God. This is our standard. This is our foundation.

We will keep the faith, live for Jesus, and shine His light everywhere we go!

God bless,

Matt

What Hangs on Your Walls and

Fills Your Dresser Space?

As I sit in my room tonight, I am enjoying some time with the Lord. How awesome to be able to end the day thanking God for the blessings He gave me today and to be able to allow His presence to wash over me as I get ready for a good night sleep. There really is something about talking with God at night. For me, it is always a special time. The world around me seems quiet. Although I know outside the four walls of my room the world is filled with pain and turmoil, mostly due to the wrong choices people are choosing to make in their lives. Next to me on the wall is a poster with the prayer of Jabez. It ends with "Keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" This prayer seems very fitting, especially during a time where I see so much pain, even in the church from the poor choices people make. Oh Lord, keep ME from evil, that I may not cause pain. I know even for myself, that poor choices that I would choose to make will not only affect me, but many others. I am aware of that. So I pray that God would keep me from evil and keep evil far away from me. I pray that I would always stay close to God so that evil would never find a way into my life. I am making that request tonight.

It seems that so much has crept into our nation. I can see it getting darker outside. I am praying for more grace to keep me, as more people fall away from God and His ways. You just have to watch a few minutes of a current popular TV show to see what ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Hollywood is spewing into the minds of young people all across America. It is desensitizing our moral conscience to what is right and wrong. Evil things are being portrayed as cool and trendy. Things like having babies out of wedlock, being unfaithful to your spouse, pornography, premarital sex, alternative lifestyles, divorce, alcohol, drugs and so much more. It's not just in our nation. It has crept into the church. It has snuck its way into the hearts of God's children. Like a weed growing up through a crack in the pavement. I can remember as a kid in summer time going around and pulling out the weeds that would grow up through the cracks in our driveway. There are some weeds that need to be pulled out and some cracks that need to be closed!

Sin is not trendy and it is not cool. No matter what the popular opinion may be, truth is truth. A dangerous deception has crept into our Hollywood-like Christianity. This deception says I can do what is convenient for me and still continue to represent God to the world. We need to wake up church before we find our homes full of weeds because the foundation beneath us is full of cracks. One thing is true, there needs to be a new level of accountability in the church, especially for leaders who have taken on the privilege and responsibility of representing God to the world.

As I write this, I start with me. I have made myself personally accountable to my immediate family and ministry staff and have given them the freedom to be a "checks and balance" in my life. I have told them, "If you see me going off one tiny bit, make sure you tell me! If you ever see me getting prideful, tell me. If you ever see me going off in my doctrine, tell me. If you ever see me acting in an unkind way, tell me." I have made myself accountable to them as well as to strong godly leadership in my life. I seek council and allow older men of God to speak into my life and ministry and take everything in prayer to the Lord. Our ministry staff has made a commitment to one another to live a life of purity and purpose. We have committed to place computer software on all of our ministry computers as well as personal computers that will let each of us know the websites that have been viewed on those computers. We are taking every step possible to guard the integrity and character of our personal lives as well as our ministry lives. We acknowledge our weakness and declare our need for the grace of God to empower and keep us close to Jesus all the days of our lives. We know He is able to keep us. We want the end of our lives to be a testimony, not a smear across the body of Christ.

You know, you can tell a lot about a person by observing their personal space. You can see what is important to them and what they value. Just look at what hangs on the walls of their bedroom and what kinds of things take up space on their dressers and shelves. If you haven't done so recently, step back and observe your own personal space. It will tell you a lot about yourself.

Tonight I want to bring you into my room. I want you to imagine my walls and dressers and see what I see. To the left of my bed hangs on the wall a large poster of the Prayer of Jabez given to me by my father as a gift. Next to that is a large frame containing pictures of my family. Family is very important to me. We have a very close family filled with a lot of love! On my tall dresser sits an olive wood statue of David as a young boy with a sheep. My mom gave this to me as a gift from Israel. It represents to me the heart of the youthful David, filled with vision, courage and love for God and His people. It also represents the strength to take down every giant that would stand in my way. It represents David's heart after God that qualified him to be anointed king. I deeply value all these things. Next to the David statue is a baseball given to me by Dutch Sheets with the words "Dream God's Dream" on it. This always reminds me to make God's dream, my dream. This baseball sits on a small dish I bought in England last year with an imprint of John Wesley's Chapel on it. I highly value the legacy and impact John Wesley left behind. It reminds me of the wonderful prayer time I had in John Wesley's prayer room when I was ministering in England. Next to that are some rocks I acquired while in Israel last year. And last but not least is a mug I bought in Wales. It has a picture of a road full of sheep on it. This reminds me of the Welsh Revival of 1904 and stirs my faith for today's harvest of souls.

As I continue across the room I come to my desk. Somewhat cluttered with books, CD's, papers, sermon notes, books signed by some wonderful friends in the ministry, I look above the desk on to the wall. There are three large pictures that hang on the wall. The first is a picture of a deer drinking from the water brook. The second is a flying eagle. The third is a picture of man running his race to the finish line. All three mean so much to me. The deer picture is my hearts cry for God's presence. Like the deer my soul longs for God! The eagle portrait is my desire to fly like wings of eagles and to soar above the things of this world on the wind of God's Spirit. The third picture is what I want to see at the end of my life. I want to hear God say "Well done good and faithful servant." I want to run my race with character and in the power of the Spirit and cross that finish line in victory!

On my lower dresser to my right sits an amazing olive wood carving of the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant on their shoulders. Underneath the ark I have placed a statue of a young boy holding a gold heart in his hands near his heart on his chest. This all represents one thing to me, carrying the glory of God on my life. Like the priests of old, I never want to touch the glory with the hand of flesh. I want to carry and bear His presence upon my life. Like the boy holding a heart of gold in His hands, I want to hold God's heart in my hands and hold it as close to my chest as possible! Next to the ark is a plaque that reads "The man who walks with God always gets to his destination." This reminds me every time I read it that as long as I stay close to God He will get me to where I need to go. Behind this plaque is a small chalice from Wales with some rocks I picked up from Moriah Chapel in Wales back in 2004 on the weekend of the 100^th year anniversary of the Welsh Revival. This represents my love for revival. Hanging on the wall is a commemorative plate I got in Wales celebrating what God did through the life of young Evan Roberts. On the wall above the dresser is another large picture of a lighthouse with waves crashing all around it. This was a gift from my parents back in 1997 when I graduated from Bible School. Beneath the picture is a scripture that reads "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock." (Mt. 7:24-25). More than anything else I want my life to be firmly built on Christ and His word. More and more these days I am returning to the simplicity of the gospel and am continually setting my mind upon the rock that secures my life, God's word. The waves will come and go. But God's word will keep me through it all!

I thought it would be interesting to share with you an intimate insight into the things I see everyday around me and a birds' eye view of what hangs on my walls and fills my desk space. Why not take a step back to see what fills your space. You may learn a lot about yourself.

Hello everyone!

I know I haven't been on here in a while...but here's some updates. This week we are on TV with Sid Roth. His show is called It's Supernatural. You can view the program any time on his website.

Charisma Magazine is doing an article on our own TV program called Power for Life. This should be coming out in the Fall. Be looking for it. I believe they are also doing a feature article on our ministry during the Fall season as well.

We have an article coming out in Elijah Rain Magazine published by Steve Shultz.

I am in Nigeria, Africa right now with Reinhard Bonnke for a miracle crusade. The crusade begins Wednesday. Thanks for your prayers for us!

Registration is open for our upcoming Open Heavens Conference in NY with Dutch Sheets, Jane Hamon and Robert Stearns. Don't miss it! Something powerful is going to be released with these generals!

Love you all!

Send me a note on my wall. Would love to hear from you.

Matt

Hey guys,

Here's a quick update. I just got home from France. Had an awesome time in the Spirit there. I was met by an angel of the Lord when I first arrived. He escorted me around Paris all day. We had some wonderful meetings in the Holy Spirit.

Now I am in MI at a youth conference...the presence of God is good and we are breaking through with Holy Spirit fire.

I am off to Canada next week.

I am pressing in after God for more of His glory. I am also in the process of beginning a book. It's my first one. Pray that God leads me as I put it together.

This week I was also in NC with Sid Roth doing a TV taping for his show It's Supernatural. It went really well.

Talk to you all soon!

Keep the fire,

Matt
