 What about the side that lays down their life in love. 
 That's the side I believe reaches the sin-sick, lonely,

 this is how he ministered.  He lived among the people, 
 washed the feet of one of his hecklers when challenged 
 and was available by telephone in time of emergency.  
 The students grew to respect him because they knew he 
 was genuine.

Well, if you are reading Holy Hubert's book, then you should be able to
get the inside scoop about what we are talking about.  Hubert was the
grandfather of all modern day street preachers.  I do not hold a candle
next to Hubert.  Hubert so angered sinners that he was beat up, stabbed,
shot about five different times, imprisoned over 100 times, etc.  When
the communists held rallies of 35,000 people, Hubert would walk up on
the platform, take the microphone without invitation and take over the
rally.  If he was alive today, I have no doubt he would likewise do so
with the homosexual rallies.  

As for Hubert's heart of love for the sinner, yes, we agree and try to
walk in that same spirit. My phone number is always available and often
I take inquisitors out to eat or go have private chats with them, or
bring them to church, etc.  While some students, especially the
homosexual, are stirred up with hatred, others see that our love is
genuine and respond to it. At the University of South Florida, there was
a campus organization started by the students directly as a result of
the open air preaching that we did there. I think that indicates
positive response.

Yes, this is what I mean by saying that we expose homosexuality.  We
don't just point out the wrong, but we point out how it perverts God's
ordained plan of marriage.  I generally teach not only on the sanctity
of marriage, but on why God created gender to begin with.  Of course, I
also connect how promiscuous sexual relations and homosexuality violate
this order of God.

Judy wrote:
 There is a difference between condemnation and

The Scriptures teach that condemnation comes from the law.  The devil
doesn't condemn anyone, nor does he want to condemn anyone.  He has
tricked the churches with this false doctrine for many years now.  It is
repeated and repeated but never examined in the light of Scripture.
People relate to it because nobody wants to be condemned.  Nobody likes
condemnation.  Nevertheless, the Bible teaches that without the law,
nobody was condemned, yet they still suffered from the penalty of sin,
which was death.  When the law came, then condemnation came.  So
condemnation comes not from the enemy, but from the law, and the law
comes from God who is not our enemy.

It would not surprise me if that billboard was put there by Bible Jim

they do.  Also, let me say that I was not reached by such methods, but I
have reaped many people who were touched by it.  One young man I worked
with when I was a teenager believed upon Christ and was baptized.  When
I spoke to him of Holy Hubert Lindsey, a man I had just met just the

Louisiana just the year before.  The message prepared the ground so that
this young man would believe upon Christ as the Word of God took root in

Gary, I did not have time to read the article carefully that you shared,
and most of the interaction about it has been confusing.  It sounded
like maybe you believe that we should be pushing Homosexual Marriage as
a good and proper thing to do?  Is that YOUR POSITION? If so, please
come right out and say so and I would be glad to discuss it. My position
is that God has ordained marriage, not man, and man has no authority to
change it.  To enact homosexual marriage is to elevate man's wisdom
above God and to pervert the natural order than he created.  The idea
for homosexual marriage has been paved with the idea that there are no
differences between men and women.  That is another lie that we would
need to deal with in our discussion.  Men and women are different from
each other, and this is an important acknowledgment if we are going to
understand God's plan for marriage.  God's plan for marriage can only
exist between a man and a woman.  

Peace be with you.

Very true, but I hope you also realize that the other is limited by

He views me as a false prophet and as a pretender. As long as his heart
is set toward rejecting me, I could never bring any kind of ministry of
deliverance or healing around him.  Do you understand this principle?

Judy wrote:

 The scriptures I read about the end time activity of 
 Elijah was that of restoring the hearts of the fathers 
 to the children.  They (homosexuals) are already under 
 a curse, we don't need to condemn them any further.

But the hearts of the children have turned away from the hearts of the
fathers in that they view homosexuality as normal as being black or
Asian. To turn the hearts back to the correct viewpoint requires
declaring the truth in opposition to their new philosophy.

I might add that I do not view the Elijah Spirit to be in opposition to
Christ.  It is simply a side of Christ that comes into view more
predominately as men turn to sin.  The side of Christ ruling with a rod
of iron is the Elijah spirit, but the side of Christ riding lowly upon a
donkey is his side when he is accepted and praised as he ought to be.

Judy wrote:
 I don't know about a cloak - their sin 
 is public and flagrant.

But their sin is represented as being no sin at all.  In fact, not only
is it no longer a crime to commit homosexual abominations, but laws are
being passed that give the practice of homosexuality special rights and
protection.  This is what I mean by taking away their cloak for sin.
Their cloak does not hide the fact that the sin exists, but it sugar
coats it so that the unsuspecting public is deceived into thinking that
homosexuality is normal, that people are born that way just as a person
might be born with certain color eyes or hair.  When we stand up to that
homosexual agenda and declare how harmful homosexuality is to society,
we take away this cloak of respectability and reveal homosexuality for
what it is from the eyes of a Holy God. 

Judy wrote:

 One is from the enemy and the other is from the Lord.  

I was taught this in the churches as well, but I think the Bible gives
more than enough teaching to question this assumption. While there is an
element of truth to the idea that the finger of conviction leads to
repentance and good work while the hand of condemnation might lead to
sorrowful depression and death, we should not shy away from ministry of
the law simply because people become condemned. 

Second Corinthians 3:9 describes the ministry of the law as being a
ministry of condemnation, not the ministry of conviction.  Romans 4:15
says that the law works wrath.  In the seventh chapter of Romans, Paul
gets in the particulars of how the law works out its condemnation, and
in the course of that, he clearly points out that the condemnation that
comes from the law leads us to understand that the law is holy and good.
It is the sin within man that is bad and has to go.  Not the law.
Therefore, when we see the ministry of condemnation that comes through
ministering the law, we should not declare that such condemnation is
evidence of this ministry being contrary to Christ. Rather, we should
agree with the declarations of the law and show our support, allowing
the resulting condemnation to lead people to repentance and to faith in
Jesus Christ.

For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came,
sin revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was ordained to
life, I found to be unto death. For sin, taking occasion by the
commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Wherefore the law is holy,
and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Was then that which is
good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin,
working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment
might become exceeding sinful.  (Romans 7:9-13 KJV)

Dave Miller: The Pagan Wolf is drawing you into his circle. This is the 
standard tactic of the enemy. He first gets you to side with him against 
those who proclaim Christ on the streets. He causes you to believe that 
public preaching is for the most part a flesh ministry. He causes you to 
believe that he is a victim of circumstance, that he was born into a pagan 
family, so that is what he is. You think that if only he saw the peace and 
love in Christ he would come over, but the truth is that his sin is what 
separates him from God. The church is not some club that everyone is invited 
to join. The church is made up of holy ones, and only those who are willing 
to lose their lives are able to join. Most people won't make the cut, and 
Pagan Wolf is one of them, UNLESS, he repudiates his sinful and occult 
practices and repents of his sin. He can't do that until he first 
acknowledges them to be evil. Right now, he sees his vile ways as good.

TPW: Dave, again you give me way too much credit. I already told you that 
such remarks towards my person were unbecoming of you and I will say it 
again. Unless you come to truly know my heart, then do yourself a favor and 
keep your own counsel on what I am and not capable of.

Before you declare me the Lucifer's own, look at yourself and ask if you are 
any better with putting me on a pedestal of onyx, and declaring anyone who 
remotely agrees with me my bondsman. You really need to look within and see 
your own ego at work, or as some of you call it The old man, the flesh. I 
don't need to be your enemy. You are your own worse enemy.

And furthermore, Judy is an adult, not a child. She is a devoted Christian 
and a strong one. I seriously doubt she accepts my Pagan ways nor I ask her 
to accept them. I merely asked something from her and she gave it in spades. 
She respected me as a Human being. Shame you couldn't see it that way. But 
then from what I saw written by you so far, you need to be reminded of 
this...
Proverbs 26:26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be 
shewed before the whole congregation

I warn you Dave, I don't you by my standard. I am seeing however you have 
problems with your own.

Judy wrote: Hey there is no future tense about it. By his own  testimony TPW 
is already there and his evaluation isn't far off.

Dave Miller: Is this true, Pagan Wolf? Are you convinced that you stand lost 
and condemned before God Almighty? Do you desire Jesus Christ to save you 
from your sins?

TPW: No David I do not. For you see if that were to occur, The fruit I would 
become would be a rotten one. Under your rule, I couldn't be nothing more 
than that.  As for feeling lost. I don't think I could ever feel lost. The 
thing is I have been blessed with a strong sense of self-identity. I know 
who stares back at me when I see my own reflection.

More importantly, I focus on my own strenghts alot. So technically no matter 
where I am, I know I can call upon my own ressources. Can you say the same? 
Are you confidant enough to say, no matter how much the world throws at me, 
I will make the most of what I find.

We were all born with a handfull of cards, so few actually bother to take 
the time to see what we were dealt and learn to play with them...

The Power of 
MarriageNovember 22, 2003By DAVID 
BROOKSAnybody who has several sexual partners in a 
year iscommitting spiritual suicide. He or she is ripping the veilfrom 
all that is private and delicate in oneself, andpulverizing it in an 
assembly line of selfish sensations. But marriage is the opposite. 
Marriage joins two people ina sacred bond. It demands that they make an 
exclusivecommitment to each other and thereby takes two 
discreteindividuals and turns them into kin. Few of us work as 
hard at the vocation of marriage as weshould. But marriage makes us better 
than we deserve to be.Even in the chores of daily life, married couples 
findthemselves, over the years, coming closer together, fusinginto one 
flesh. Married people who remain committed to eachother find that they 
reorganize and deepen each other'slives. They may eventually come to the 
point when they cansay to each other: "Love you? I am you." 
Today marriage is in crisis. Nearly half of all marriagesend 
in divorce. Worse, in some circles, marriage is noteven expected. Men and 
women shack up for a while, producechildren and then float off to shack up 
with someone else. Marriage is in crisis because marriage, which 
relies on aculture of fidelity, is now asked to survive in a cultureof 
contingency. Today, individual choice is held up as thehighest value: choice 
of lifestyles, choice of identities,choice of cellphone rate plans. Freedom 
is a wonderfulthing, but the culture of contingency means that 
themarriage bond, which is supposed to be a sacred vow tilldeath do us 
part, is now more likely to be seen as aneasily canceled contract. 
Men are more likely to want to trade up, when a youngertrophy 
wife comes along. Men and women are quicker to optout of marriages, even 
marriages that are not fatallyflawed, when their "needs" don't seem to be 
met at thatmoment. Still, even in this time of crisis, 
every human being inthe United States has the chance to move from the path 
ofcontingency to the path of marital fidelity - excepthomosexuals. Gays 
and lesbians are banned from marriage andforbidden to enter into this 
powerful and ennoblinginstitution. A gay or lesbian couple may love each 
other asdeeply as any two people, but when you meet a member ofsuch a 
couple at a party, he or she then introduces you toa "partner," a word that 
reeks of contingency. You would think that faced with this 
marriage crisis, weconservatives would do everything in our power to move 
asmany people as possible from the path of contingency to thepath of 
fidelity. But instead, many argue that gays must bebanished from matrimony 
because gay marriage would weakenall marriage. A marriage is between a man 
and a woman, theysay. It is women who domesticate men and make 
marriagework. Well, if women really domesticated men, 
heterosexualmarriage wouldn't be in crisis. In truth, it's 
moralcommitment, renewed every day through faithfulness, 
that"domesticates" all people. Some conservatives may have 
latched onto biologicaldeterminism (men are savages who need women to tame 
them)as a convenient way to oppose gay marriage. But in fact weare not 
animals whose lives are bounded by our flesh and byour gender. We're moral 
creatures with souls, endowed withthe ability to make covenants, such as the 
one Ruth madewith Naomi: "Where you go I will go, and where you stay 
Iwill stay. Your people will be my people and your God myGod. Where you 
die I will die, and there I will be buried."The 
conservative course is not to banish gay people frommaking such commitments. 
It is to expect that they makesuch commitments. We shouldn't just allow gay 
marriage. Weshould insist on gay marriage. We should regard it 
asscandalous that two people could claim to love each otherand not want 
to sanctify their love with marriage andfidelity. When 
liberals argue for gay marriage, they make it soundlike a really good 
employee benefits plan. Or they frame itas a civil rights issue, like 
extending the right to vote. Marriage is not voting. It's going to 
be up toconservatives to make the important, moral case formarriage, 
including gay marriage. Not making it meansdrifting further into the culture 
of contingency, which,when it comes to intimate and sacred relations, is 
anabomination.http://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/22/opinion/22BROO.html?ex=1070521917ei=1en=81717fcd74f42d00Copyright 2003 The New York Times

 If those in street ministry are unable to perform the 
 Ministry of Jesus then they are out there on their own; 
 we need to wait as He did, until we receive power from 
 on high to meet the needs of the people.  

Hi Judy. There is certainly a truth about waiting on the Lord and
trusting in Him and receiving power from on high before we go and
minister unto others.  Before I ever preached on the streets, I fasted
40 days as Jesus did.  I would say that this qualifies as waiting on the
Lord prior to ministry. Yes, I have experienced casting out devils and
healing the sick.  Sometimes I have had them run up to me like they did
Jesus and ask me to deliver them from demons.  But what I sense from you
is that you have not yet entered into this kind of kingdom experience,
yet you comment upon it rather authoritatively, using the Bible and your
knowledge of Scripture to make your comments.  

Jesus said:

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it
be of God, or whether I speak of myself. (John 7:17 KJV)

Much will make more sense when you DO HIS WILL in all these things.
When you become complete and whole in doing his will, the rest just
falls right into place.  

Now the power of God that you desire in regards to healing the sick and
casting out devils is dependent upon faith, not just the faith of the
minister of God, but the faith of those being ministered unto.  I
readily acknowledge to you that in most cases, the power of God being
manifest in this way in my public ministry is not nearly what Jesus
himself manifested.  I believe that this is because of faith and the
time in which we live.  Jesus himself had to lay his miracle ministry
aside and stay with teaching only when the faith of the people did not
allow it because of unbelief.  Consider the following passages of
Scripture:

And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a
few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their
unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. (Mark 6:5-6
KJV)

Matthew says it this way:

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
(Matthew 13:58 KJV)

As the gospel message has spread far and wide and become common place,
we experience much the same thing in a kind of historical age context
that Jesus experienced in going to his hometown.  People think they know
about Jesus.  People think they know who he is and what he is about.
They lack faith in him.  Therefore, Jesus is not able to do many mighty
works among them, but he ends up sticking primarily with teaching.  

The Scriptures speak clearly that there is an apostasy in the last days,
and that the love of many would wax cold (remember that faith works by
love).  Therefore, we expect more and more for there to be a falling
away, for the miraculous ministry in public places to wane, and the
prophetic ministry of judgment to become more prevalent.  This is the
Elijah spirit which was prophesied to come before the great and terrible
day of the Lord.

Therefore, my mindset is that the age of grace is drawing to a close.
As this happens, there will be more and more testimony along the lines
of that given by the two witnesses in Revelation 11.  In other words,
not all preaching will be just good news preaching, but prophetic
warnings of the judgment of God.  Such would not be harvesting messages,
seeking to save the lost, but legal warnings and admonitions given by a
just God.  Such messages actually will torment the wicked, just as the
two witnesses in Revelation 11 are said to have tormented those on the
earth. ... these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
(Revelation 11:10 KJV)

There is one other aspect to consider here in regards to public
ministry, and that is the difference between sowing and reaping.  The
apostles were sent forth to reap where they had not sown.  

And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent
you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and
ye are entered into their labours. (John 4:37-38 KJV)

Those who had sown did not have the miraculous ministry (for example,
John the Baptist ministering in the Elijah spirit), whereas those who
reaped did have the miraculous ministry.  Many street preachers today
primarily practice a sowing ministry.  They sow the word of God, often
ministering the law, and others will later reap (harvest) what they have
sown. Understanding the diversity of Christ will help us not miss
something God is doing just because it does not look exactly like what
we are expecting.

Judy wrote:

I hope you understand that I do not condemn anyone.  I only declare
God's Word concerning the Truth.  Those who are condemned are condemned
by their own heart and by their own words.  I certainly take away their
cloak for sin, but I do not directly condemn them.  This is a subtle but
important

 place, just one in the book of Acts and all 
 of the Epistles where any valid ministry acted 
 like this.

I do not support shooting abortionists or bombing abortion clinics.
Nevertheless, the attitude of standing up to those who revel in sin is
illustrated well by David when he stood up to Goliath.  The difference
in the New Covenant is that we understand our warfare is spiritual and
not carnal.  Therefore, our sword is wielding the Word of God rather
than a physical sword. 

Peace be with you.

Terry,

Where do you find in scripture that Lot preached in Sodom?
He chose it because it was a well watered plain and it was probably going 
downhill
then. I know scripture teaches that Noah preached to his generation - 
but Lot?

I wonder if Lot was one even ABLE to preach. 
Look at the testimony provided by Scripture...

  His willingness to have his daughters 
  violated (yes... I understand the concept of hospitality and 
  visitorsfrom an Old-Eastern perspective, but he had other choices 
  available)
  His son-in-laws did not believe his 
  testimony
  His unwillingness to leave Sodom when told of 
  its imminent destruction
  He wanted to remain in a city environment in 
  spite of the warning from the Visitors
  He had drunken relations with both his 
  daughters
This, of course, said in lieu of his 
(assumably) being the single righteous man in Sodom. (Perhaps the reason he was 
liberated from annihilation is that he was related to Avraham.)

I did not find that in scripture. Didn't even look tosee if it was there. Just responded to a blurb from Dean.

Judy: After doing a little research, the only thing I could find 
about Lot preaching was Genesis 19:6-9. Lot is begging the Sodomites not to do WICKEDLY. They respond by saying he
KEEPS acting as a judge. (new KJV). Evidently he had talked to them about their wickedness on multiple occasions, and they resented it.
