Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke - Official PageHeaven is and remains open!Both David and Isaiah prayed Lord, rend the heavens and come down (Psalm 144:5; Isaiah 64:1). It happened when Jesus came. New Testament believers need never pray it again. Christ tore the heavens, and came down to us. He then returned through the heavens ensuring that they remain open. The rent heavens have been rent for ever, and have never been sewn up again, neither by a needle-wielding Satan or any other hand. Through that open heaven the Holy Spirit then began to descend the latter rain (Acts 2). The heavens are no more like brass, THEY ARE OPEN. Hell cannot impose sanctions, and blockade the kingdom of God, nor deprive its citizens. The new and living way is established beyond enemy control. Jesus Christ is Lord. REINHARD BONNKE.(Psalms 144:5) Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.(Isaiah 64:1) Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,Mighty Arrows from Gods Mighty BowWhen Noah saw the earth desolated by the deluge, he must have been traumatised. Whenever afterwards the skies grew dark overhead, he would need assurance. God said I do set my bow in the cloud and it shall be a token of a covenant. The rainbow is the flag of God, the seven-coloured royal standard. No icon, no regimental colours, no empire symbol could match that!The word bow in Genesis 9:13 is the same Hebrew word as a bow for arrows a war bow. What a war- bow, spanning the whole horizon! What mighty arrows it must shoot when God goes into battle. The Lord will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. Isaiah 42:12. (Genesis 9:13) I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.(Isaiah 42:12) Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.The rainbow is not a mere phenomenon of beauty but a Divine reminder of Gods archery. There was a rainbow round about the throne and out of the throne proceeded lightnings, Gods mighty arrows. (Rev. 4:3,5). No wind can blow a rainbow away. No devil can switch it off. The battle belongs to the Lord. We all suffer lifes storms when ominous blackness fills our skies, but that arching splendour of prismatic colour in the rain cloud, seen with our mortal eyes, is the objective standard of God to reassure us. Gods rainbow is His love bent to the world - and you and me.Not checked and weighedWe know much more about the Holy Spirit today than in the past. Jesus promised power to make us witnesses to the ends of the earth. That is Gods kind of power, enough to carry us through to the very end. The power of God is the person of the Holy Spirit and no person can appear in percentages. God does not deal in dribs and drabs. He is not mean or careful, but generous. He does not dish out the Spirit by measure, checked and weighed as if on heavenly scales. He does not turn the faucet off so that it does no more than dribble. He lets it run. God has no water meter in heaven and Pentecost is not a touch of blessing or an anointing just for a sermon. It continues until the Great Commission has been completed, until we no longer need to evangelize a continuing and extended movement of Gods Spirit till the end of the age.

Let me call him John. John had a double story house, five plus five rooms. One day there was a gentle knock on the front door. When John opened it was the Lord Jesus. Please come in, John pleaded, I will give you the best room in my house it is upstairs. Well, Jesus is a gentleman and said thank you.The next morning someone hammered against the front door. When John opened it who was there? The devil. No shouted John, I dont want you here But the devil said Im already in and a big fight started. Satan poured filthy temptation on him, it was horrible. By the evening John somehow got the victory and threw the devil out. Then he said wait a minute. I gave Jesus the best room in the house, why didnt he come to my rescue? Jesus said to John Look, you gave me one of the ten rooms John was on his knees and said I can see my mistake. Sorry, Lord. Lets make 50/50. Jesus is a gentleman and accepted. The next day was a repeat of the day before. Somehow the devil got in and out and John was totally exhausted. Why didnt Jesus come to my rescue today? I need to go and ask. The Lord said My son, why dont you give me all 10 rooms and then, instead of me staying with you, you stay with me? John broke down. He pulled the key of the front-door from his pocket and handed it to Jesus. Now, he had given it all.The next morning, it was still dark, when someone was knocking at the front door so hard that the whole building shook. John jumped frightened and shaken out of bed crying O, its the devil again, when suddenly he heard footsteps but this time inside the house. Jesus was marching in majesty and power towards the front door. He had the key. It now was His duty to answer the door. John was wondering what would happen and stood right behind Jesus when the Lord opened the door wide. Who was it? The devil of course. But when the devil saw Jesus standing in the door he bowed low, very low indeed, and said Sorry Sir, I knocked on the wrong door!Some have given 9 rooms to Jesus and on the door of room number 10 they have written Strictly Private. It is there where they have their secret sins and live their double life. But Jesus cannot be cheated. Cmon. Lets sing it together from the bottom of our hearts Unto Jesus I surrender, unto Him I freely give.I surrender ALL, unto thee my God and Savior, I surrender all.

We had something like a revival in the music-shop, and when I left walking to the car I said, Lord, I will never understand how something like this is possible. Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me No problem! Jesus lives in your heart, and sometimes he likes to look out of the windows! What a wonderful truth.

A merchant found one fine pearl that was worth a phenomenal amount and sold everything else he had to raise enough money to buy it (Matthew 13:45-46). This is a picture of God emptying the treasure chest of his love for us. We were no bargain. We did not look very much like a valuable jewel. Yet he took us with all our worthless baggage, rottenness, debts, nastiness and wickedness. He drew us to himself ignoring everything in us that was foul and corrupt. Then like a heavenly valet, he cleaned us up, gave us a complete makeover, clothed us in righteousness, girdled us with immaculate grace and made us fit to enter the presence of the King in his beauty. That effort left him soaked in his own sweat and blood on the trodden grass of Gethsemane. Then finally that awful hour of devilish agony, hanging like a rag nailed to a tree.

REINHARD BONNKELike Comment Share 1,2702221April 27, 2011 UNDER AUTHORITY A Roman centurion asked Jesus to restore his paralyzed servant: Just say the word, and my servant will be healed (Mt 8:8). Jesus was astonished at his faith but the centurion explained, I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, Go, and he goes. The centurion had authority because he was under authority. He could command because he obeyed commands. That Roman soldier had more than faith; he had perception and saw that Jesus also acted under authority to God. That meant that he had authority to command sickness to go and it would go.Whatever Jesus did was under authority. He had to do the will of his Father. Our salvation depended on it. His saving work was no casual operation or sideshow. For that matter neither was Creation, although God brought it into being simply by saying: Let there be light (Gen 1:3). Salvation is, however, a far different matter. When Jesus told Mary and Joseph, I must be about my Fathers business (Lk 2:49 NKJV), he was talking about the business of salvation. It was the Fathers business for the Son to be born and for salvation to be his immediate and direct business. He came to earth to be our Savior. He was the Word that spoke at Creation, but for salvation the Word came. His coming was life-long, a sustained sacrifice climaxing in the most horrible death. That was love in its most ultimate form.REINHARD BONNKE"I am the Lord your healer"."I am the Lord your healer".Like Comment Share 776742April 25, 2011 The preaching formula is thus says the Lord, not Im telling you!People filled with the Holy Spirit should be marked with the true features of witnesses.

They are held in tension by the nucleus of the atom. When they are split, the power of the atom is released, perhaps in the heart of a nuclear power station, or maybe the atom bomb. It is a picture of Christ, who "upholds all things by the word of his power". He was the centre where the forces of good and evil focused. They were held in tension in Him, until finally He overcame the negative forces of evil, and the power of life and good were let loose. The power of it was first realised when the rock tomb burst open and Christ rose. An explosion took place, the power of righteousness in wave after wave of goodness crossing the earth, wherever the Gospel was preached. The generating forces within the tomb of Christ shattered death and brought Him forth, the Resurrection and the Life. Spiritual explosions are taking place as that mighty power girdles the globe in a gathering storm of glory, revolutionising lives, breaking the bonds of wickedness, blasting down the walls of captivity.

It is a sad fact of our nature - a psychological fact - that our own desires can be so loud they sound like Divine commands. Shout long enough about what we already want to do and the echo will come back sooner or later, but it is our own voice, not the voice of God. People talk of how they wrestled with God over a decision. Is God like that? Hardly! In fact, they are wrestling with their own will, not Gods will. They want Him to agree. Do we really imagine we must wrestle with God to pry a secret out of Him about what He wants us to do? Surely He would just tell us without an all-out wrestling match with the Almighty. After Jerusalem fell, many of the people wanted Jeremiah to inquire if they should leave the land. In their heart they wanted to go to Egypt and meant to do so. They only wanted Jeremiah to persuade God to approve their plans. Jeremiah inquired, and God did not approve at all. They went anyway saying Jeremiah had lied about what God said. They ran into great trouble as a result. God had not said anything about them leaving in the first place. It is folly to make decisions in haste and to put words in the mouth of the Almighty. However, there is a safeguard for all "voices" and impulses and that is the Word of God. For example, Isaiah Chapter 8 warns, "If they speak not according to this Word there is no light in them" (Vs. 20). The Bible claims for itself the unique privilege of being the means through which God speaks.

Wicked men had bound him, lashed and crucified Him -- the innocent One, unlawfully and unjustly. Should His death not be avenged? But Jesus did not cry out for vengeance. Instead He prayed: Father, forgive them (Luke 23:34). Paul expressed it: God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:19). God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross (Colossians 1:19-20). Whoever was guilty of Jesus death, they were forgiven by His prayer, whether they were Greek, Roman or Jewish. The blood of Jesus, which they shed, was their Redemption. Their pardon was handed to them at the very cross they erected. It was written by the pen of God dipped in the fountain of the precious blood of Jesus. Instead of coming to avenge our sins, He allowed all the vengeance due to us to fall on Him. He became the great and ultimate victim, blocking the course of the blood feud forever! Jesus offered his own blood to put an end to all vengeance. He himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.

He did not mean Zion City itself was a spring, but that in Zion was the unfailing flow of Gods presence. Today He is as present as greatly in any city as He was for the Psalmist in Zion. He is as near to us in Orlando as in Jerusalem. Whatever the Bible says relates to us in some way. God doesnt tell us anything at all merely to feed our curiosity and to provide technical information. What he reveals about Himself is for us to apply and work with. He tells us He is The Alpha, the beginning, so we can benefit and make the most of it. In the beginning God... - in all beginnings! We dont begin at all until we come to Him but otherwise are going nowhere and doing nothing, as people on a treadmill. The Greeks thought that time went in circles, the same things happening again and again. But this astonishing book the Bible cuts right across heathen guesses. Gods ways are eternal, not repetitive.

Only at night the dissimilarity becomes apparent. The servant goes and asks for his pay the son not. Why not the son? Because the son knows something the servant doesnt. He knows that the day will come, when all that belongs to his father will belong to him. Do we serve Jesus Christ just as a servant - for instant reward, recognition and a constant pat on the shoulder?

Suddenly the salesman appeared. He seemed to be in a different mood, something like in a state of shock and said to me Sir, I can see Jesus in your eyes! What? The Holy Spirit had entered that shop. We forgot all about the keyboard and had a revival instead. But when I was walking back to my car I kept saying Lord, I will never understand it. How can a total stranger walk up to me and say Sir, I can see Jesus in your eyes?. Suddenly the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said No problem! Jesus lives in your heart and sometimes HE LIKES TO LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOWS. I laughed and cried. What glorious truth. I got the point! Years later I met the wife of the salesman who told me, that her husband had followed Jesus for the rest of his life and went to be with the Lord. I trust that this little testimony blesses you.

But when the atom is split, positive splits from negative and power is released, either for destruction or for benefit. Something like this happened on the Cross. Hanging there, Jesus experienced in Himself two opposing forces the negative of our sins and the positive of Gods love. Evil split away, setting free new powers of righteousness and resurrection. Within 3 days this new power swung into action, when Christ gloriously and triumphantly rose from the dead. LETS REJOICE!

It reminds me of the healing of the cripple at the Beautiful Gate. Their spiritual feet and ankle bones receive strength and they enter the temple, walking, leaping and praising God dancing on faith legs! What a victorious pathway. The Apostle Paul said The life I now live, I live by the faith in the Son of God. At this faith-point life swings round, personality is re-molded, outlook revolutionized. Nothing, simply nothing can re-shape life like faith in God. Have a blessed day.

He does not turn the tap off so that it does no more than dribble. He fully lets it run. God has no water meter in heaven and Pentecost is not a touch of blessing or an anointing just for a sermon.

His compassion and mercy upon the sick and afflicted were signs of what God is like, forever. If Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, then the Jesus in glory is not a different Jesus from the Jesus of Galilee. Today the same Jesus has the same compassion, and the same power, but He no longer has the hands to touch the sick, no longer the voice to speak healing, no longer do the feet of Christ bring Him into streets and homes. So He sends men and women, you and me. THEY are His those hands and voice and feet. The body of Jesus is His church. He is the HEAD. Hands, voice and feet obey the head. The Church is the living extension of that mighty arm though imperfect in an imperfect world. But we are still the agents of omnipotence and of Divine love, to demonstrate that God cares. If we are His disciples, filled with the same Spirit that anointed Jesus, we are to do the same work. They are greater works because God is not limited to one pair of hands, to one voice, but people moving everywhere carry the same blessings and love.

We are linked to Him with the bonds of His creative life. It renders God sensitive to all we do thats why Jesus came. He came to rescue us. Only Jesus saves. Blessed?

No, I mean we should not be behind the times, and Fanny Crosby is not the last word in sacred music. But the heartbeat of God should be louder than the drum beat of the band, and His voice not lost in the wordless pandemonium of amplification. If they cut off the electricity from your church, and the modern instrument were useless, would your congregation wilt like daisies in the sun? But if they are crashing forth on the cymbals for the sheer jubilation and exuberance and delight in God as those who wrote the Psalms, if congregations sing praise to God in their very hearts and express their inner soul of gladness, that is crucial! Gods command is Rejoice IN THE LORD. Greetings from REINHARD BONNKE. (Please tell your friends in church about my FB Page.)

The glory and joy of God is salvation. Jesus works in material fashion but his real commission is as the Saviour of the world. Jesus said that it is better to enter life maimed than to die unsaved (Mark 9:43). To deliver all who were oppressed by the devil, Jesus went around doing good (Acts 10:38), but to save us he went to the Cross and to hell and back. Only Jesus could have done it. And He did it.

If the President of America came to your town, it doesnt need discussion, philosophy or logic. It is news, simply news. A Presidential visit is not a conception or article of faith. It is an event. You cant reason about it. Whether you are a simple person or a brilliant scholar, you just have to accept it as news The Gospel is the samenews, good news. Christ has come and sets people free from their sins, heal their bodies, and baptize them in the Holy Spirit. News is not logic or reason. It is what happened. Nobody thinks it up, so nobody can reason about it. Here is how Paul put it in 1 Corinthians 15: 2-5. By this gospel you are saved if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.

But He refused. His servants did not fight to make Him an earthly lord. He had a new way. Jesus conquered this Roman who was in charge of the squad of soldiers that carried out executions. Nailed and helpless, yet Christ conquered this military commander. Within 300 years, Rome itself had been conquered, not by the jackbooted feet of military forces, but by the bleeding feet of this Man hanging there. O praise the Lord! The last pagan emperor, named Julian, tried to restore the old worship of the gods, but the tides released by Christ's death were too powerful.

The Gospel isn't just an idea, any more than dynamite. It is God in action, in the mire of the battlefield. He has put His very Self, His Son and His blood into this Gospel. Some act squeamish about the Gospel of the precious blood of Jesus as if the whole world were not blood-soaked. In this harsh world nothing less than a Calvary Gospel is credible. Christ's blood was needed to cover the blood of a thousand million murdered Abels crying to God from the ground. The Gospel is not a vague lovingness, or sentiment. The pen of truth is dipped in the blood of Christ. We are not redeemed by a casual and understanding nod from an easy-going Heavenly Father. The mouth of Christ's gaping wounds speaks forgiveness. The Gospel rings with the cry in Eden "Adam where are you? and of the "strong crying and weeping" of the Son of God in Gethsemane. O, what a wonderful Savior.

The Bible speaks clearly and positively; it does not stammer. When you read it, you become certain. The Holy Spirit writes no doubts. The promises of God are Yes and Amen (2 Corinthians 1:20) and not No or Maybe. The Gospel trumpet sounds no faltering note. Some people argue that it is presumptuous to declare you are saved, but that is false modesty in the light of so much Scriptural evidence. When Christ confronts you with the question of your need, you should not respond, "I want to have my questions answered and to give my view of salvation." Instead, you must repent and believe!Being saved is not a casual experience, something you would hardly notice. When you repent and believe and come to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, He receives you, and you are cleansed in His precious blood! Take these two statements made by Christ Jesus Himself: All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out (John 6:37) and for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost Luke 19:10.

It is itself comprehensive of wonders. That is what the FULL GOSPEL means. In the New Testament the Gospel made fantastic progress because it was 'in power and demonstration'. Miracles were mostly healings, and there is simply no difference between then and now and them and us. We have at our disposal apostolic power and gifts if we go with apostolic motives. Note "motives" - the purpose of gifts is not to get a name for being a man of power, but to get Jesus a name as a God of love and power.

It describes the whole universe being swept with His praise. Every creature in heaven and earth know that none of them is worthy, only Jesus. (Rev. 5) They multiply accolades and exhaust language to match His unparalleled work. The cause of such worthiness was observable only in a measure even by those who watched Him in His dying hours. But it was not the total cost, because the Cross affected the Throne! Another tremendous fact is: Christ was one with the Father. Infinity shared with the sin-bearer. The black hurricanes surging around the Cross swept also around the Throne above. Christ accepted our judgment but God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. (2Cor 5,19) The vastness of the heart of God found a place for the sorrows of mankind. The music of heaven developed a minor key. We can sympathize and empathize with other human beings, but not with God, especially in the passion of His redeeming work. We can relate to God, but never in that dimension. God is the indescribable, and in this work we can only stand aside in ignorance and awe. It cant be explained. It is unutterable, and if uttered it would be incomprehensible. Only God can appreciate what God experiences. We are like the disciples Jesus took into Gethsemane. They went with Him so far only. Then He went a little further. A few yards away from where Peter, James and John sat waiting, drowsing under the old olive trees, the worlds Redeemer was fighting a cosmic battle totally outside their conception- and ours. Our theology of salvation is the scaffolding only to the temple of our wonderful and glorious God. Be blessed.

Gods Spokesman said: TOMORROW would be abundant food at the Gate of Samaria. (Vs 1) The Government spokesman said: IMPOSSIBLE! Gods Spokesman: IN FACT you shall SEE it but NOT EAT. Facts like that don't change. That is the reality. WHEN GOD SPEAKS IT IS AN EVENT WHICH SETS HISTORY IN MOTION. It is no use ignoring it, or we do so at our cost, like jumping from the Empire State Building ignoring the Force of Gravity. This would be a jump to a quick conclusion. The preaching of the Gospel is an ANNOUCEMENT OF A FACT. Repent and believe The Word of the Lord is a creative act. God said "Let there be light" and there was light... The same voice also said: Your sins are forgiven The Gov. spokesman in his chariot mocked Elisha, but no unbelief can change the facts. God speaks and it is done; it stands fast like the very earth. We can only do one thing - come to terms with the Word of God or blindly ignore it to our own destruction. The Syrian army heard sounds of a great host coming to rescue Samaria. They fled in panic and left all their supplies behind. The Word of the Lord, Almighty God, had performed this. It was no coincidence. Then something most remarkable happened: The Gov. spokesman was knocked down and trampled to death by people who rushed to get what he didn't believe in. Here is a powerful fact: The man who does not believe the Gospel will be crushed by its reality. Not believing it makes no difference to what IS. If we don't go along with it, it will crush us by its very weight. The tragedy of all tragedies is that the man died because of GOOD NEWS and totally unnecessary. He put himself outside the possibility of enjoying it. Elisha's word was not a word of calamity or judgment, but of deliverance. If it was not believed it could not be altered. Not to accept it proved tragic. REINHARD BONNKE (Please pass it on.)

It was in fact the decisive victory for world redemption. A Roman spear opened Christ's side and exposed the very heart of God - all love. That price! For what? Add it up, and it spells JESUS SAVES. The words, "Jesus saves", embrace everything that defeats us. Every life has a thousand needs. Salvation touches all weaknesses, reaches into the past and future, and is for body, soul and mind, for earth and for heaven. Jesus saves us from our sins, from folly, failure and fear, pride and illusion, the devils deceit and every threatening circumstance. Christ is the Master of it all. Jesus saves! Christ's hell-shattering work has opened heaven's fountain of resources for all struggling souls. "He that believes in Me, has life." Being saved means being "born again".
