The “Secret” Behind the Spectacular Events
of the Past 12 Months
The past 12 months have been distinguished by the most remarkable series of events in the history of the IBLP Ministry. These events confirm an important principle and promise of Scripture that was understood September 3, 2002. Below is an account of a few of the events that are evidences of God’s blessing.
Orphan Ministry Honored
Government officials in Moscow gave the Moscow College of ATIA a special status for the work it is doing with orphans, pensioner teachers, delinquent youth, and public schools. This is the only school in Moscow that has received this honored status. Read more about the orphan ministry.
Resources Completed
More than 30 books and booklets have been written during the past year—more than any previous year in our history! Visit the IBLP Online Store to browse some of our resources.
Life-Changing Results
The Power of Crying Out has become a best-selling book. Its message is helping many experience the supernatural evidences of God’s love and power. More than 20,000 copies were requested for soldiers in Iraq. Read more about troops receiving this book.
Official Reaffirmation
A resolution affirming the Indianapolis Training Center’s work with troubled youth and families was passed by the City-County Council of Indianapolis. Leaders from several nations have come to this center and have requested that we take this ministry to their nations. Read more about this resolution.
Student Recognition
Arrangements were made with Louisiana Baptist University
to assist ATI students in receiving credit toward earned degrees for their past ministry experience and training.
Medical Plaza Provided
The largest facility we have ever received was provided this year. It has over 500,000 square feet of space on 41 acres of wooded property in Nashville, Tennessee. This excellent facility will be the home of the International Institute for Health and Research.
Achieving Optimal Health Conferences
This year God led us to outstanding doctors who have opened to us the world of functional medicine. A seminar has been developed that is bringing amazing results by combining the spiritual, physical, and nutritional factors of health. Many have found answers for health problems that they have had for years.
Ministry to Children
With the medical plaza in Nashville, we acquired a day-care center, which has been turned into a Character Care Center. The staff plans to teach the children a new character quality biweekly. This instruction has great potential to influence their lives in many ways.
An Invitation From China
Two delegations from China have come to Headquarters this year in order to learn about our ministries. As a result of those visits, we have an invitation to train 20 million people in China. This is a marvelous opportunity that we never imagined possible.
A New Ten-Color Press
What seemed like a financial impossibility a year ago became a reality as God provided a ten-color Heidelberg press and the state-of-the-art equipment needed to support the production process.
Free Satellite Channels
We have been offered two free satellite channels for training and communication with all ATI families and the outreach of seminars to schools, prisons, homes, and churches. This outreach will open up a whole new dimension of giving the world a “new” approach to life.
The “Secret” Behind All of These Blessings
It was just over a year ago that we understood the importance of God being a jealous God and of His desire to bless every believer who would love Him with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength.
The request for God to give us the grace to do this, which was made at that time, has truly opened up a fulfillment of the following Scripture: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (I Corinthians 2:9).
The importance of this message cannot be overemphasized, because as the world sees the blessing of God upon His people, they will reverence Him.
Therefore, David prayed, “God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations…. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him” (Psalm 67:1–2, 7).
The Publishing of This Vital Message
One year after the message of God’s jealousy was learned, Multnomah Publishers released Our Jealous God. Explaining this message in detail, the book describes how to love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. God stands ready to reward every believer who lives out this message on a daily basis. You can now purchase this book at a local bookstore or at store.iblp.org.
