BELIEVE CHARLES BEFORE YOU SEE!

On 16 Nov 2010, out of the blue, I received a prophecy from prophet Rusty Russell via cell phone text. The prophecy was to “Believe that I have already received what I prayed for before I experience it and call that that is not into being”.  I thanked Rusty but the prophecy did not have an impact on me at the time.

On 1st Dec 2010, precisely 2 weeks later, I suffered a life threatening situation. Just before I was about to tee off on the golf course, my heart aorta suffered several internal tears of more than 6 inches.  It is an uncommon condition known as Type B aortic dissection.  US Ambassador Richard Holbrooke had died from a type A aortic dissection at around the same time. 

Most people who come here with this disorder are dead!

My Christian friend and golf partner, Robert, sent me to Accident and Emergency at the Singapore General Hospital and I was subsequently placed in the Intensive Care Unit and then high dependency unit. God preserved my life and no surgery was required. 

During my hospitalization leave, as I was reading Mark 11 v 23 and Romans 4 v 17, it was then the Holy Spirit reminded me of Rusty’s prophecy. So I checked it on my cell phone. It dawned on me that God prepared the prophecy through Rusty for my healing 2 weeks before I was actually struck by the illness. How amazing to receiving a prophecy on healing before one is actually afflicted!! God wanted to show me something about faith.

After just 2 months’ hospitalization leave, I returned to work on light duties.  In March 2011, I resumed my full workload and duties.  I have been working full time for more than a year and several CT scans show that my heart condition has stabilized.  

I can live a normal life with some limitations, like refraining from golf.  But I believe that God will heal me in His time sufficiently to play golf. I try to exercise my faith every day step by step calling my healing into being. I thank Rusty for being obedient in giving me that word of prophecy on 16 Nov 2010.  ….. Lay Elder Charles Lim 

Dennis and Ruth Nelson

I was sent a wedding invitation from my friend Dennis Nelson and his soon to be wife Ruth.  It was way back in 1990 I think?  I flew over to Singapore and there witnessed their marriage.  It was the first Asian wedding I had ever seen. Back then everyone had several cameras around their neck and took loads of pictures.  We have kept up with each other through the years and have met up with each other on occasions in Shanghai, China, where they were posted for employment and now over the Internet as they are back in the States. 

Dennis desires to share a testimony with us about a prophecy I spoke over him 19 years ago….

“At least I did not have to wait 400 years like the Jews in Egypt or those in the 70 years in exile….I do not think I would have lived long enough!!!”

I want to extend my deep gratitude for your prophetic word and healing ministry. Today, I proclaim that His prophetic word is fulfilled by those that believe.

In the summer of 1986 after graduating from college you prophesied this word from God: “For I would use in counseling and inner healing and deliverance. But, you are afraid of it…” In 1989 I took spiritual gifts evaluation and my two lowest scores were “Mercy” and “Deliverance.” There was not much within me to fulfill this call. You prophesied: “God wants you to teach the word, to preach, to council, to minister in deliverance and healing and you are running like a scared rabbit…the Lord is telling me He wants to give you a ministry and you are dodging it!…God looks more at our willingness to do things…and that is where you got the problem. You do not have the, “I’ll do it!”…Hiding is not a severe problem, but considering the call it is severe” (God’s word by Rusty Russell).

After turning 40 years old in 2002 I realized I needed to get on with God’s path for the rest of my life. Otherwise, it would pass me by and I would have missed God’s best. So, in the spring and summer of 2003 I became certified to teach Old and New Testament courses. And the following year I enrolled in a Bible degree program. It was during this time that God told me to prepare for His ministry. The one He was going to place in my hands. I just needed to be faithful and obedient to His will.

        On a day in 2005 I was discussing this old prophetic word to my Pastor. He asked me,  “Why are you not obeying God’s call to do Biblical counseling?” I did not have an answer. This pricked my spirit; although I did not want to go back to school, I knew it was God’s way of “kicking” me in the backside. So through many divine appointments and the removal of earthly mountains I finished a Biblical Counseling degree in 2010. Yet, this was not the end. Just, the end to the beginning, I still needed to believe by His faith.

        This past spring (2011) I took the next step of faith by jumping off my own theological cliff. I believed by faith and in the power of God’s word and started by proclaiming healing, liberty, deliverance to all those were in bondage. They,  just like me had to believe in the power and authority in Christ’s name.

I now understand a little better when the 70 disciples returned proclaiming that the Demons were subject to Christ’s name.  Jesus proclaimed: “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you…” (Luke 10:18-20 NASB).

God’s prophetic word is now being fulfilled. I have begun a Biblical Counseling and Deliverance Ministry within my church. Christ has been showing me how to lead the captives to the freedom that is only found “In Christ!”

I cannot say I am without any fear, because I know there is nothing within me that can fulfill His word. The gifts of Mercy and Deliverance I know I do not have, but I know the One who does and that is all I need. It is only through my faith and willingness to walk on His Highway of Holiness that I can fulfill His word. I know this is not the end but only the first step in many more leaps of Faith. Thank YOU Rusty!!

                        A dead man, dying daily In Christ,

                                                      Dennis J. Nelson

I love to sing and listen to music, but especially music which ministers not only to my spirit but to my body.  Let me introduce to you the Music of Ruth Fazal.

I have never met personally Ruth Fazal but I feel like she is a real close friend.  Why?  I listen to her music all the time. I first found her on the Internet YouTube when I was reviewing some of the music by Kimberly Kramer and Alberto Rivera.  I have known Kimberly since she was a little girl, when I stayed with her family, the Kramers, while speaking in their church.

I have always loved Classical music since my College Appreciation course in the Classics.  Mildred and I have seen the value in the violin and worked overtime to provide our children with violin lessons.  During those early years Jason and Becka both loved to play.

WE FELT THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE CHANGE   

But when I heard Ruth Fazal’s music on the Net, I knew I desired not only to listen, but I felt Jesus supernatural power release through her playing.  I purchased all of her CD’s and began to take them with me on my many Asian trips.  My Asian friends love her music as well.  Her soaking music causes the atmosphere to change in the auditorium and with this heavenly change faith arises in us for God to do more awesome signs and wonders.

It was about two years ago that I incorporated her music as my back up music since in some of the venues where I share no music is provided or I think I need a higher level of anointing especially to pray for miracles and prophesy or wait on the Lord for His Divine move.  I have used her music with her permission, therefore we share in the eternal benefits in the healed souls and salvation department! Glory!

Ruth ministers a lot these days in Israel and it is noted when she plays over Holocaust survivors that they too feel the healing power of God minister to them.

Recently when she appeared on Sid Roth’s program, “It’s Supernatural” she shared how she received a vision of Jesus in a meeting in Toronto Christian Fellowship  a few years ago.  In that vision, which she said others saw as well, she was given by Jesus a golden bow and told, “When you play your music with this bow, I will heal those who listen.” It was after this vision when she played that many testified they were healed.

I have reported back to Ruth’s ministry many testimonies of those who have received healing.  IN one Healing Campaign Meeting recently in Bali, Indonesia, I was playing her song:  Bells.  We had asked the Music Group to come forward for blessing and prayer.   I was playing this song.  We began to hear more music in the back ground and when I turned off her music we could hear the base guitar and piano playing in the back ground some notes, not so much a tune, but when added to her music, a holy awe was received by all present.  It was a sign to wonder at.  More Divine power was released in that meeting with more salvations and healing.

RECEIVE HEALING TODAY FOR YOUR OWN BODY

Do you need a touch from Heaven?  Do you need healing?  I will include a cut called, “Dawn”  with Ruth playing.  Give your sickness to Jesus, accept His stripes which He bore on His back and receive the finished work of the Cross for your healing.

When I, Rusty,  battle with sickness attacking my body this is what I usually say, “Father, in your mighty Son’s name I accept what Jesus did for me on the cross where he was sacrificed.  I accept Jesus’ stripes he bore for me for my healing; I accept Jesus’ finished work on the cross and apply it fully in my body. Thank you Jesus your healing is mine, it is divine, and I accept it. Sickness (name the pain attacking you here), pain, suffering, leave me now, in JESUS NAME!  I do not own this sickness, but it is attacking me, so leave in Jesus name.  Thank you Jesus amen.”

PLAY HER MUSIC AND RECEIVE….. Would you like to order her music? Send me an email at Rustyispraying@mac.com and we will share with you how to receive it.

God bless you,

Rusty Russell

he is in ICU in the Hospital…..”

Angeline and Jay and son Tyler

Many times I am invited to go to the hospital to pray for the relatives of friends, or the friends of friends, some who are in need of a miracle for healing to have it’s perfect result.

I love to go and pray knowing that Jesus is the Healer and when He went to heaven after His resurrection, He asked the Father to send the Holy Spirit to baptize the believers in Jesus with holy power.  Part of the power the Holy Spirit gives to believers is the ability to witness to people, but He also brought with him 9 gifts.   Here is a list of those gifts:  Word of Knowledge,  Word of Wisdom, Gift of Prophecy, Gifts of Healings, Working of Miracles, Gift of Discerning of Spirits,  gift of Faith, Tongues and Interpretation of Tongues.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit as I have depended on Him, He has used me in all these gifts but He has released and increased the anointing in these gifts:  the gift of Prophecy, Word of Knowledge, Gifts of Healings, and Working of Miracles.

I am sure this is why many seek me to come and pray for them. And I give Jesus the glory for using me!

My good friend in Singapore, David Khoo, asked me to go and pray for a couple in his cell group, Angeline and Jay’s son, Tyler, was born as a preemie Baby.  He weighed in at one + Kilograms (2.2 pounds), when I was asked to pray for him.  I know that many have prayed earnestly to secure his health and for his weight to grow and all of his organs to form correctly.  I agreed with their prayers while adding my prayers and trusting the Holy Spirit’s gifts of healing and Miracles to manifest and bring the healing quicker.

Rusty Russell praying for Tyler’s healing and to gain weight

What Happened to Preemie Baby Tyler?

Here is the good news on Tyler’s health from his Mom:   “Rusty, Thank you for visiting and praying for our son Tyler while he was in the hospital.  He was discharged on Sep. 21.  His weight at discharge was 2.2 kg (4.8 pounds).  It’s almost a month now and he went for a check up last Friday and we were pleasantly surprised he weighs 3.34 kg (7.3 pounds)!!! We believe God’s hand is definitely in this! And we are really thankful for your prayer over Tyler while he was in ICU.”

Praise the Lord!  This is a great report and we thank God for using us to be a part of Tyler’s miracle.

I will be continuing my Asian Friendship Tour in Singapore November 2nd – 18th, and Hong Kong 19th – 21st, 2011.  I will be home for Thanksgiving with my family, but while in Singapore I will be visiting and praying for more who are in the hospital allowing the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to flow through my life.

I am believing Jesus to send His miracles into many people’s lives, believe with me, thank you.

Shalom,

Rusty Russell

Hao, Peiyen, and Caleb

Dear Rusty,

Thank you for your faithful ministry to the World, but especially to our family. It was so great to catch up with you on Facebook.  Your comment to us was a pleasant surprise.

We have known you for a number of years, we first met you in our  Chinese Church in Atlanta, Ga. You ministered to us as a couple and we thank you.  We are still free!

One thing which we have received from the Lord and held on to it as a promise from Jesus was the prophecy you spoke over our lives 10 + years ago.

Thus says the Lord, “Fear not, your son will win his grand parents to Jesus.”

I was pregnant with our son Caleb.  You said, “This son would be the one God will use to lead his grandparents to the Lord Jesus.” Over the years we have waited for the fulfillment of this prophecy, and now it is starting to happen!

Caleb has led his grandpa (Hao’s Dad) to the Lord this year while visiting him in Taiwan.  Caleb purchased a Bible for grandpa with his allowance.  They are memorizing bible verses together via FaceTime now. We are so grateful and excited about the rest of the prophecies fulfillment. We are expectant and waiting to see when his grandma’s turn will soon come.

God never forgets His promises. Praise the Lord!

Thank you for being a faithful servant of God.  We miss you very much and hope one day to see you again.

Blessings,

Peiyen and Hao

Good morning Jesus!  On this fine new day, Jesus woke me up and bid me to come to Him.  I went outside since the wind was blowing lightly and heat of the day was gone from yesterday and a cool breeze came in over the bay area.  When I sat on the chair although it was still dark, I could see the lights in the harbor of all the ships at their moorings.  The waves are gently but steadily washing upon the shoreline.  A sense of peace and calm are here in the morning. As I rest my mind, although it reminds me to read email, I instead place keystroke to computer file and write this simple note.

Early morning in Singapore ~ Greeting Jesus daily early

I love you Jesus, I love all that you have made, your beauty I see in ocean, wind and waves.  I see as dawns early light breaks over the horizon, clouds lightly fill part of the sky causing a mauve color to fill the sky.  I am thinking this is the first day of a new year for Singapore since they celebrated her birthday last night with parade, play, and fireworks. What a joy to be in Singapore during their celebration days!

As I wait upon the Lord he leads me to HIs scriptures and I meditate on them and Him, now anticipation is growing in my heart.  What will this day hold for me and my wife, Mildred, who is with me?  We have a few appointments today and we will share in some meetings and glorify Jesus and expect to see Him preform a mighty miracle or two or three, well I will not limit Him, but yield to His glorious presence and expect awesome manifestations of His glory.  He, Jesus, I believe desires to show us great and mightier things than we have ever known.

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

We are only on earth one time, and that for a series of years, I plan on making the most of each day and enjoy Jesus and expect newer and greater things. How about you?  Some days cause trouble in our lives but how we handle that trouble I believe is closely dependent on the relationship that we have with Jesus.  Many a man or woman have spent their years without a relationship with Jesus, but I believe their lives have not been as full as could be.

Now that light has come I can better see the ships who have been at sea making their way to the port. Large container ships, some very huge, pass by the home I am staying in. But every few seconds there is the constant reminder in the sound of the waves, in my spirit I hear Jesus saying, “I love you Rusty, I am for you, I am your constant guard and I am for you and not against you!” What a time to realize all things are still in the hands of Jesus and He is still in control of us and our surroundings, and we simply need to trust in Him.

Pray with me as we pray for others.  Some are receiving healing others encouragement while others are either shocked or amazed by the prophetic words spoken into them. The reality sets into one who realizes that Jesus really does love

them and has a plan for their life.    Mildred and Rusty praying for many

“Rusty, you spoke right into my heart, I know now and am blessed that Jesus love forgives me as He is drawing me closer to him.” Said Ms. C.

I met with some of the men I am mentoring here in Singapore, be blessed with some of their words and testimonies:

MENTORING PROPHETS BEING USED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT:

“Rusty, I have been on FIRE in my spirit and body ever since your last trip.  Last year you asked us if we were experiencing the FIRE of God in us.  My response was no, but this year it is all different!  I was on business trip in New York City, USA over a weekend. I wanted to attend church and I went into  a Times Square Church.  A lady in front of me turned around and said, ‘You are a man of God!’ I said, ‘Why do you say that?’  ‘Because the moment you stepped into the pew my whole body is on FIRE!’  Rusty not only is the FIRE of the anointing of Jesus living in me but Jesus by His Spirit is radiating His effect in others as well.  Jesus has also opened a door for me to share and teach in another church  on the West Coast of USA since this is another Port of Call for me.  When I visited a  Lutheran Church in Los Angeles, I was invited to pray with a group of church workers, it was then I released a prophesy in the midst of them. The pastoral team later asked when I returned could I share and teach as well!  Walking with Jesus these days are awesome!” Said E.Y.

“Rusty, the Lord has been showing me that everything is upheld by the Word of the Lord, since He spoke all things into existence.  But man He made with His hands and breathed life into him.  So He made the earth but the only living creature which holds His breath is us.  All things move and live and have their being in Him.  We should not worry so much. But know that in His plan, He will provide and lead us into His divine will….” Said E.C. (paraphrased)

“I have been called upon to lead a team of intercessors as we pray over Singapore and the Asian Region. As you know I have not only a love to pray but  call to prayer.  I believe the Lord will use me prophetically to pray as we extend to the heavens a call for God to bless and lead us and deliver us from evil, while He is anointing us to extend His kingdom on earth…” (paraphrased)  Said. G. V.

Just before I release this update to you a day or two has pasted.  In one of the meetings this week, I was releasing a prophesy over a lady who seemed to suggest she could not hear me.  Upon investigation it was clear she was deaf.  I laid my hands on her ears and began to pray for her.  I stepped back and began to speak, still straining to hear, I prayed again asking the Holy Spirit to come glorify Jesus, thankfully He did!  I stepped back and as I spoke she repeated, then I placed my hand over my mouth to make sure she was not reading my lips, and YES!  SHE SPOKE BY REPEATING WHAT I SAID! THANK YOU JESUS ~ LET YOUR FIRE COME AND HEAL!

Teaching Saints how to pray for others

I have about 8 more days left here in Singapore before going to Indonesia, Jakarta for 1.5 days and Manado for 5.5 days, where we will minister to Government officials and hold some Healing Campaigns.  Your prayers of agreement can be felt by me and Mildred. Thank you!   Below you will find my schedule, if in Singapore you can join us at our public meetings.

When I pause, to meditate on Jesus and His word, He refills me again with Himself.  Take a moment and allow the presence of Jesus to flood your soul and ignite your spirit.  He is more than willing to make Himself known to you today.

Ephesians 5:14 – 21: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.  See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is, and do not get drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.” (my bold)

If we will do the bold part of the above verses, we too will have light and power in Jesus ~ His FIRE will burn again in us.  Remember Jesus is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit and Fire!

One of the ways I do this is read a scripture, sing a worship song either one already written and sung by many, or I make up my own words and tune and sing it to Jesus.  He comes and inhabits my praise and worship….He fills me, anoints me,  sets me apart for Himself, He will do this in your life as you focus your gaze on Him… there is great power in even the mention of His name.. ..Jesus…Jesus….Jesus…. I love you!   I just sang, Holy, Holy, Holy to Jesus, now I am singing, Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of this earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace….

My prayer for you, “Lord Jesus, You are the same yesterday, today and forever.  Come with your majestic power and love and wash over our lives afresh.  We are sorry for any sins we have committed and we thank you that your blood received will wash us clean, your grace is new this morning… Thank you Jesus.  Come with your FIRE and come with your might as we yield to You… Come have your way in our lives this day, in Jesus name.  Lord I release healing power to set the captive free, I release freedom from your throne and I pray anointing come to help those who say yes to this prayer.  Thank you Jesus for You! Amen.”   Rusty Russell

Shalom

DO YOU HEAR THE VOICE FROM HEAVEN?

Prophet Rusty Russell

Have you ever seen the movie “August Rush”? It is a movie about an abandoned baby who grew up to be an exceptional musician. He felt his parents were looking for him; he had this hope within him and he never gave up.  He listened differently from most people.  As a young boy, when he discovered he could play musical instruments and later write their notes on paper, his heart’s desire gave birth to a tremendous passion or need which drove him everyday to play music so his parents could hear him and find him.  The story is fictional but some interesting points were made and they stick in my heart and mind and stir my love and desire to listen to the rhythm of God in His earth and join with His angels choir – or humans – or His Spirit in me to worship.

Quote from “August Rush”: “THE MUSIC IS ALL AROUND US, WE JUST NEED TO LISTEN…. “  he could hear the music which played in the fields, by the wind, or by the motors and busyness of city life, or clanging of  kids playing on the playground. It seemed that everything had a rhythm to it.  Sometimes I google and watch the musical parts of this movie on YouTube. WHEN WE HEAR AND RESPOND WE BECOME PART OF THE MUSIC….

When I read the book of John’s Revelation on the isle of Patmos, I am so encouraged.  There are many truths hidden from our immediate attention. Revelation 4:5 “And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.”

HERE IT IS THE FIRST CELL, HANDPHONE, OR SATELLITE PHONE CALL MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE:

NOTE: Amplified Bible, KJV, CEV, says:  rumblings; NASV, NIV, and OJB says: sounds, but the NKJV, ASV, And DR bibles says: voices.  Now each speak specific or in words descriptive of tonal qualities, i.e. A voice or voices.  Interestingly the Greek word is: φωνή phōnḗ translated: Noun Feminine “fo-nay’ ” probably akin to (5316) through the idea of disclosure probably akin to; a tone (articulate, bestial or artificial); by implication, an address (for any purpose), saying or language:–noise, sound, voice.  1.) a sound, a tone, 2.) of inanimate things, as musical instruments a voice, 3.) of the sound of uttered words speech of a language, tongue. (Strong’s Concordance)

So here is the neat revelation for me: I love to hear it thunder and see God’s heavenly fireworks show – lightning- but before the thunder and just after the lightning – VOICES – (cell calls) -  can be heard by those listening!  Are you listening? At Jesus’ baptism in water some heard it thunder, but John the Baptist and John who later became an Apostle heard the voice of God, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I AM well pleased!” Yes! Jesus! I want to hear the voices that sound forth from Your throne announced by lightning and followed by thunder! Open my ears that I might hear and receive your phone calls from Heaven!

Just this morning as I awoke my room began to shake, not from an earthquake but from the rumbling of thunder. Oh! Jesus, I have just written this note, I will run outside to listen for your voice from heaven!  Years ago in my late teens and earlier twenties I would go to the park and sit on the hood of my car and watch the lightning and hear the thunder and allow the rain to wash over me, might not be too smart, but I love adventure if only in a simple way.

This powerful storm fully filled the sky with clouds, dark ominous and foreboding. Lightning shot through the clouds and the wind began to blow, after a bit the rolling thunder could be heard, then it poured with rain, did I say Awesome?  Ha! Way awesome!  I pray that no damaging winds or lightning would occur, but I do put into practice what I have shared this night with you. Here is what I have heard the Lord Jesus say between the lightning and the thunder:

“I AM almighty God, trust in MY Mighty power, together we will do wonders today!  I wash MY earth that has been dry and scorched, with plentiful clean rain, I release heavens oxygen and cause MY refreshing winds to blow. These are simple things for ME, man can not duplicate this! Do not be afraid, but enjoy ME in the midst of the storm. Today you will be MY lightning rod, and I will strike you but not to kill or to damage but with lightning speed I will use you in the power of MY Holy Spirit gifts, many will be healed, delivered, freed, and prophesied over, I will continue to build MY Church. Expect mighty things this day and night!” (11 July 2011)

A friend of mine, a musician John Belt, has written an article on his web page which I would like to share with you.  For years I have listened to his music and been inspired to draw nearer to Jesus, in heart, spirit, and soul.  There is a special place of friendship and relationship that Jesus is longing for us to develop with Him.  I am presently writing this note while listening to a joint album of John Belt and Jeff Jensen: Mystic Glory, along with his album: Flight of The Eagles. I love his music, mainly the instrumental albums, I also love Ruth Fazal’s worship with her violin.  These artist’s worship causes the powerful presence of God to flow into my meetings.  Sometimes we are brought into Heaven, at other times the Glory Cloud of God’s presence becomes evident. I have experienced many deep things with Jesus! Faith arises in many and as we pray miracles begin to manifest.  I invite you to go to their web pages and order their music, it will bring you into an awesome presence with Jesus.  Read your Bible as you listen and revelation will come to you I believe more easily.  (See their links at the bottom of my note.).

ASIA FRIENDSHIP TOUR WILL CONTINUE IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER:

I will be bringing some of Ruth Fazal’s new CD releases with me when Mildred and I return to Asia and Singapore on August 3rd – 19th,  Jakarta 20th – 28th AM, 29th – Sept 1 Hong Kong, sept 1 – 8th other Asian country.

Let me share with you a short note John Belt just published on his web site:

“THE TEMPO OF HEAVEN” by John Belt

Finding God’s Rhythm

“It makes all the difference for us to get in sync with the tempo of heaven.  The world has a rhythm.  God has His rhythm that is completely different.  Heaven has a frequency.  We need to tune in to get on God’s channel.  There is a different pace that cannot be imitated, duplicated nor replicated.  The Holy Spirit is the means by which we can find His tempo, the beat of His heart.  The soul needs to come into alignment with the Holy Spirit in order for us to experience this connection.  When the soul is leading, (mind, will and emotions) it takes us off track where we miss the heart of God.  The soul must yield itself to the desires of the Spirit.

Let the Peace of God Rule

If we allow our mind, our desires and our emotions to dictate to us what we are to do then we will be misguided and not have the peace of Christ.  The peace of God is only discovered by those who have laid down the noise of the soul before God.  Life decisions, in the Kingdom of God, are not made according to natural reasonings.  We don’t look at the stats to make our choices.  Information can be helpful but the only factor that counts is God’s voice.  It is necessary for us to get on His wavelength, find His heart and know His tempo.  When things we feel are busy and out of sync, it is usually because we need to quiet things down.  The best thing to do is slow down.  Force your soul into a place of rest.   Take away all of it’s props and be still before God.  Take time to get rid of all of the noise, voices and distractions so that His peace and rest can be found.  This is how we “let” the peace of God rule in our hearts.

Colossians 3:15

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also you are called in one body; and be thankful.”

Reflecting God in Your Spirit

All music reflects the tempo or rhythm of another place.  Music reflects a source.  If music has the anointing of the Holy Spirit it will cause the image of God to be reflected in our spirit.  If the source is the spirit of this world we will reflect that same spirit.  Our being is affected by what we hear and absorb spiritually.  Our dreams will also be a by-product of what we are taking in throughout the day.  With this it is a good idea for us to think about the amount of time we are spending with God and what time is going to other places.   The more time we can spend in meditation on the things He has prescribed the better off we will be, the more we will reflect His image and be the people He desires us to be.  The first Psalm promises that he who meditates in the law of the Lord (the words of God) will be like a tree planted by a river that bears fruit in season.  It also promises that the “leaf will not wither“.  This means there is no deterioration, but we will be like an eternal tree of life.  Then God gives us the blessing without boundaries saying that’ “whatever he does shall prosper”.   Last time I checked on the definition of “whatever” it means everything.  When our hearts are in God’s tempo everything works, everything is blessed and we live in a place where His hand is resting on our work.  His Overflow Be Yours!” By John Belt

Jesus reminds me, He loves our worship, praise, meditation, contemplation and prayers and just us talking to Him and then lingering in His Presence to listen for His voice and words which will encourage us and lead us into His divine will and purpose for our life. Are you ready to enter in?  Set aside some time now.

As I have been writing this note several times my hands have been feeling like they are on FIRE, feelings of electricity coursing thru them and DRIPPING with Holy OIL, a sweet fragrance is strongly now in my room. Yes, Jesus, continue with your powerful manifestations and revelation, open my eyes to see You, to know you, to embrace you!  Wow! Wow! Wow! How Awesome is our God!

Today in Wisconsin meetings, those attending were hungry for a mighty move of God and they were not disappointed. Some received prophecies, specific to the point, one young man received a word to re-secure him in his ministry, “You have pain in your gut!” Yes, it was true! We prayed and are waiting to hear the Dr.’s confirmation. We witnessed the cloud of God’s glory, the release of His power, healing, and freedom. One young man was told he would prophesy.  I handed him the mic and he prophesied, “Freedom, I give you freedom to go out and win the lost and bring them in to Me!” Wow! What a first word of prophecy! This college student will never be the same.  Another student received a prophecy and he told the pastor, “That is it, when Rusty prophesied over me I knew it! I make a total commitment to Jesus’ and now I commit 100% of my life to this church!” Yes, Lord Jesus you are building Your church.

I send to you the Peace, Mercy, and Grace of Christ Jesus let it be multiplied unto you! Sing a new song unto the Lord, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to yourself in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melodies in your hearts unto Jesus our Lord.  And be listening especially when you see lightning or hear thunder, because where there is one peal of thunder there is usually another about to happen, and just before you could hear a voice from heaven. God bless you, and keep me in your prayers as I minister in the USA before returning to Asia.

Expect to hear Jesus voice and He will use you to shine with His glory in the darkness of this present world! (Isaiah 60:1-2, “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you! For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.”)

Shalom,

Prophet Rusty Russell

Recently I was speaking with Peter Ow a brother whom I am mentoring in the prophetic ministry.  He is also part of the “Healing Rooms” located in his church in Singapore.  Often they are asked to go to the hospital to pray for people.  Recently he was asked to pray for a person who was in a coma.  Peter emailed me to ask a question, “Have you ever heard of anyone pray just using the name of Jesus? Rusty, have you ever heard someone pray that way?” I told him yes.  I have prayed that way, but not recently, and Bro. Smith Wigglesworth has prayed that way.  I told him of a message I found on the Internet of Brother Smith telling of just such a situation.  He was encouraged when he read the same message.

I have prayed for many people in Coma’s before. One thing to know is that a person can hear when in a coma, they just cannot communicate to those who are speaking.  With that in mind, when I am praying for those in a Coma, I speak to them as if they were awake.  Many times I will sing over them, but not loud, I will try and play some Christian music on my iPhone in the room before I pray for them.  And at times I have prayed the name of Jesus.  But when praying just the name, one must do it with the utmost reverence to Jesus.

Peter went on to say that when he prayed Jesus name, after five or ten minutes or it might have been three minutes, the comatose man sat up in bed and turned and looked at Peter, then fell back into the coma.  One thing is for certain when we have had them wake up like this we know they have or are hearing our prayers and we can pray releasing more power for victory!  Next time you are called to the hospital to pray for a loved one or a friend, pray in faith using the name of Jesus and watch the glory of Jesus touch them and heal them.

Shalom,

Rusty Russell

PS. If you have voice over technology then highlight the text below and your computer should be able to read it to you and you can be more encouraged!

All those I mentor I ask them to read some books about the prophetic ministry and the gifts of the Holy Spirit and if they have a healing gift working in them, I advise them to read books by Smith Wigglesworth, Mary Woodworth Etter, T. L. Osborn, Benny Hinn, and others who minister in the area of healing.  Why?  Because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, and the testimonies of others.

SMITH WIGGLESWORTH SERMON #3:

THE POWER OF THE NAME 
Scripture Reading-Acts 3:1-16

All things are possible through the name of Jesus. God hath highly exalted Him, and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. There is power to overcome everything in the world through the name of Jesus. I am looking forward to a wonderful union through the name of Jesus. There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

I want to instill into you a sense of the power, the virtue and the glory of that name. Six people went into the house of a sick man to pray for him. He was an Episcopalian vicar, and lay in his bed utterly helpless, without even strength to help himself. He had read a little tract about healing and had heard about people praying for the sick, and sent for these friends, who, he thought, could pray the prayer of faith. He was anointed according to James 5:14, but, because he had no immediate manifestation of healing, he wept bitterly. The six people walked out of the room, somewhat crestfallen to see the man lying there in an unchanged condition. 

When they were outside, one of the six said, “There is one thing we might have done. I wish you would all go back with me and try it.” They went back and all got together in a group. This brother said, “Let us whisper the name of Jesus.” At first when they whispered this worthy name nothing seemed to happen. But as they continued to whisper, “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!” the power began to fall. As they saw that God was beginning to work, their faith and joy increased; and they whispered the name louder and louder. As they did so the man arose from his bed and dressed himself. The secret was just thus, those six people had gotten their eyes off the sick man, and they were just taken up with the Lord Jesus Himself, and their faith grasped the power that there is in His name. O, if people would only appreciate the power that there is in this name, there is no telling what would happen. 

I know that through His name and through the power of His name we have access to God. The very face of Jesus fills the whole place with glory. All over the world there are people magnifying that name. and O, what a joy it is for me to utter it. 

One day I went up into the mountain to pray. I had a wonderful day. It was one of the high mountains of Wales. I heard of one man going up this mountain to pray, and the Spirit of the Lord met him so wonderfully that his face shone like that of an angel when he returned. Every one in the village was talking about it. As I went up to this mountain and spent the day in the presence of the Lord, His wonderful power seemed to envelop and saturate and fill me. 

Two years before this time there had come to our house two lads from Wales. They were just ordinary lads, but they became very zealous for God. They came to our mission and saw some of the works of God. They said to me, “We would not be surprised if the Lord brings you down to Wales to raise our Lazarus.” They explained that the leader of their assembly was a man who had spent his days working in a tin mine and his nights preaching, and the result was that he had collapsed, gone into consumption, and for four years he had been a helpless invalid, having to be fed with a spoon. 

While I was up on that mountain top I was reminded of the transfiguration scene, and I felt that the Lord’s only purpose in taking us into the glory was to fit us for greater usefulness in the valley. 

Tongues and Interpretation; “The living God has chosen us for His divine inheritance, and He it is who is preparing us for our ministry, that it may be of God and not of man.”

As I was on the mountain top that day, the Lord said to me, “I want you to go and raise Lazarus.” I told the brother who accompanied me of this, and when we got down to the valley, I wrote a postcard: ” When I was up on the mountain praying today, God told me that I was to go and raise Lazarus.” I addressed the postcard to the man in the place whose name had been given to me by the two lads. When we arrived at the place we went to the man to whom I had addressed the card. He looked at me and said, “Did you send this?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Do you think we believe in this? Here, take it.” And he threw it at me. 

The man called a servant and said, “Take this man and show him Lazarus.” Then he said to me, “The moment you see him you will be ready to go home. Nothing will hold you.” Everything he said was true from the natural viewpoint. The man was helpless. He was nothing but a mass of bones with skin stretched over them. There was no life to be seen. Everything in him spoke of decay. 

I said to him, “Will you shout? You remember that at Jericho the people shouted while the walls were still up. God has like victory for you if you will only believe.” But I could not get him to believe. There was not an atom of faith there. He had made up his mind not to have anything. 

It is a blessed thing to learn that God’s word can never fail. Never hearken to human plans. God can work mightily when you persist in believing Him in spite of discouragements from the human standpoint. When I got back to the man to whom I had sent the post-card, he asked, “Are you ready to go now ?” 

I am not moved by what I see. I am moved only by what I believe. I know this-no man looks at appearances if he believes. No man considers how he feels if he believes. The man who believes God has it. Every man who comes into the Pentecostal condition can laugh at all things and believe God. There is something in the Pentecostal work that is different from anything else in the world. Somehow, in Pentecost, you know that God is a reality. Wherever the Holy Ghost has right of way, the gifts of the Spirit will be in manifestation; and where these gifts are never in manifestation, I question whether He is present. Pentecostal people are spoiled for anything else than Pentecostal meetings. We want none of the entertainments that the churches are offering. When God comes in He entertains us Himself. Entertained by the King of kings and Lord of lords! O, it is wonderful. 

There were difficult conditions in that Welsh village, and it seemed impossible to get the people to believe. “Ready to go home?” I was asked. But a man and a woman there asked us to come and stay with them. I said, “I want to know how many of you people can pray.” No one wanted to pray. I asked if I could get seven people to pray with me for the poor man’s deliverance. I said to the two people who were going to entertain us, “I will count on you two, and there is my friend and myself, and we need three others.” I told the people that I trusted that some of them would awaken to their privilege and come in the morning and join us in prayer for the raising of Lazarus. It will never do to give way to human opinions. If God says a thing, you are to believe it. 

I told the people that I would not eat anything that night. When I got to bed it seemed as if the devil tried to place on me everything that he had placed on that poor man in the bed. When I awoke I had a cough and all the weakness of a tubercular patient. I rolled out of bed on to the floor and cried out to God to deliver me from the power of the devil. I shouted loud enough to wake everybody in the house, but nobody was disturbed. God gave victory, and I got back into bed again as free as ever I was in my life. At 5 o’clock the Lord awakened me and said to me, “Don’t break bread until you break it round My table.” At 6 o’clock He gave me these words, “And I will raise him up.” I put my elbow into the fellow who was sleeping with me. He said, “Ugh !” I put my elbow into him again and said, “Do you hear? The Lord says that He will raise him up.” 

At 8 o’clock they said to me, “Have a little refreshment.” But I have found prayer and fasting the greatest joy, and you will always find it so when you are led by God. When we went to the house where Lazarus lived there were eight of us altogether. No one can prove to me that God does not always answer prayer. He always does more that that. He always gives the exceedingly abundant above all we ask or think. 

I shall never forget how the power of God fell on us as we went into that sick man’s room. O, it was lovely! As we circled round the bed I got one brother to hold one of the sick man’s hands and I held the other; and we each held the hand of the person next to us. I said, “We are not going to pray, we are just going to use the name of Jesus.” We all knelt down and whispered that one word, “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!” The power of God fell and then it lifted. Five times the power of God fell and then it remained. But the person who was in the bed was unmoved. Two years previous someone had come along and had tried to raise him up, and the devil had used his lack of success as a means of discouraging Lazarus. I said, “I don’t care what the devil says; if God says he will raise you up it must be so. Forget everything else except what God says about Jesus.” 

The sixth time the power fell and the sick man’s lips began moving and the tears began to fall. I said to him, “The power of God is here; it is yours to accept it.” He said, “I have been bitter in my heart, and I know I have grieved the Spirit of God. Here I am helpless. I cannot lift my hands, nor even lift a spoon to my mouth.” I said, “Repent, and God will hear you.” He repented and cried out, “O God, let this be to Thy glory.” As he said this the virtue of the Lord went right through him. 

I have asked the Lord to never let me tell this story except as it was, for I realize that God can not bless exaggerations. As we again said, “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus !” the bed shook, and the man shook. I said to the people that were with me, “You can all go down stairs right away. This is all God. I’m not going to assist him.” I sat and watched that man get up and dress himself. We sang the doxology as he walked down the steps. I said to him, “Now tell what has happened.” 

It was soon noised abroad that Lazarus had been raised up and the people came from Llanelly and all the district round to see him and hear his testimony. And God brought salvation to many. This man told right out in the open air what God had done, and as a result many were convicted and converted. All this came through the name of Jesus, through faith in His name, yea, the faith that is by Him gave this sick man perfect soundness in the presence of them all. 

Peter and John were helpless, were illiterate, they had no college education. They had been with Jesus. To them had come a wonderful revelation of the power of the name of Jesus. They had handed out the bread and fish after Jesus had multiplied them. They had sat at the table with Him and John had often gazed into His face. Peter had often to be rebuked, but Jesus manifested His love to Peter through it all. Yea, He loved Peter, the wayward one. O, He’s a wonderful lover! I have been wayward, I have been stubborn, I had an unmanageable temper at one time, but how patient He has been. I am here to tell you that there is power in Jesus and in His wondrous name to transform anyone, to heal anyone. 

If you will see Him as God’s Lamb, as God’s beloved Son who had laid upon Him the iniquity of us all, if only you will see that Jesus paid the whole price for our redemption that we might be free, you can enter into your purchased inheritance of salvation, of life and of power. 

Poor Peter, and poor John! They had no money! But they had faith, they had the power of the Holy Ghost, they had God. You can have God even though you have nothing else. Even though you have lost your character you can have God. I have seen the worst men saved by the power of God. 

I was one day preaching about the name of Jesus and there was a man leaning against a lamp-post, listening. It took a lamp-post to enable him to keep on his feet. We had finished our open-air meeting, and the man was still leaning against the post. I asked him, “Are you sick?” He showed me his hand and I saw beneath his coat, he had a silver handled dagger. He told me that he was on his way to kill his unfaithful wife, but that he had heard me speaking about the power of the name of Jesus and could not get away. He said that he felt just helpless. I said, “Get you down.” And there on the square, with people passing up and down, he got saved. 

I took him to my home and put on him a new suit. I saw that there was something in that man that God could use. He said to me the next morning, “God has revealed Jesus to me; I see that all has been laid upon Jesus.” I lent him some money, and he soon got together a wonderful little home. His faithless wife was living with another man, but he invited her back to the home that he had prepared for her. She came: and, where enmity and hatred had been before, the whole situation was transformed by love. God made that man a minister wherever he went. There is power in the name of Jesus everywhere. God can save to the uttermost. 

There comes before me a meeting we had in Stockholm that I shall ever bear in mind. There was a home for incurables there and one of the inmates was brought to the meeting. He had palsy and was shaking all over. He stood up before 3,000 people and came to the platform, supported by two others. The power of God fell on him as I anointed him in the name of Jesus. The moment I touched him he dropped his crutch and began to walk in the name of Jesus. He walked down the steps and round that great building in view of all the people. There is nothing that our God cannot do. He will do everything if you will dare to believe. 

Someone said to me, “Will you go to this Home for Incurables?” They took me there on my rest day. They brought out the sick people into a great corridor and in one hour the Lord set about twenty of them free. 

The name of Jesus is so marvelous. Peter and John had no conception of all that was in that name; neither had the man, lame from his mother’s womb, who was laid daily at the gate; but they had faith to say, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” And as Peter took him by the right hand, and lifted him up, immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength, and lie went into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. God wants you to see more of this sort of thing done. How can it be done? Through His name, through faith in His name, through faith which is by Him. 

REVIVALS IN SCANDINAVIA 

The writer had the privilege for three months one year of being in the center of Mr. Smith Wigglesworth’s meetings in both Sweden and Denmark. It was a time of visitation from on high. I dare to say that hundreds of people received Jesus as their Saviour, thousands were healed from all kinds of diseases, also thousands of believers awoke to a new life, and many, many received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost as on the day of Pentecost. For all thus we give glory to Jesus. Here are a few examples of miracles my eyes have seen. 

It was in Orebro (Sweden) where at that time there was held a Pentecostal Convention. I came to seek help myself, being worn out with long, unbroken service in the Lord’s work. The next day there was a meeting for healing. After the preaching service I went forward into the other hall and I was surprised to find in a few minutes a crowd following. The hall was soon full with hundreds of men and women patiently waiting for a touch of God through His servant, and, glory to God, we were not disappointed. As hands were laid upon me the power of God went through me in a mighty way. I was immediately well. 

It was wonderful to notice, as the ministry continued, the effect upon the people as the power of the Lord came over them. Some lifted their hands, crying, “I am healed! I am healed!” Some fell on the platform under the power of the Spirit, having to be helped down. Others walked away as in a dream; others as drunk with new wine, lost to everything but God; but all had faces as transfigured with the glory of the Lord and magnifying Jesus. A young blind girl, as she was ministered to, cried out, “Oh, how many windows there are in this hall!” During the three weeks the meeting continued the great chapel was crowded daily, multitudes being healed and many saved. The testimony meetings were wonderful. One said, “I was deaf, they prayed, and Jesus healed me.” Another, “I had consumption, and I am free.” And so on. 

At Skofde, in the smaller hall, set apart for those seeking the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, I shall never forget the sight, how the people with eyes closed and hearts uplifted to God waited. Did the Holy Spirit fall upon them? Of course He did. Here also many were healed. At another place there was a young man whose body was spoiled because of sin, but the Lord is merciful with sinners. He was anointed, and when hands were laid on, the power of God went mightily over him. He said, “I am healed,” but being broken down, he cried as a little child, confessing his sin; at the same moment the Lord saved him. Glory to God! He went into the large hall and testified to salvation and healing. 

At Stockholm, long queues waited for hours to get in. The hall held 1,800 people. At nearly every meeting crowds were unable to enter the building, but they waited on, often hours and hours, for the chance, if any left the building to step into the place. Here a man with two crutches, his whole body shaking with palsy, is lifted onto the platform. (Behind him five or six hundred more are waiting for help.) This man is anointed and hands laid upon him in the Name of Jesus. He is still shaking. Then he drops one crutch, and after a short time the other one. His body is still shaking, but he takes the first step out IN FAITH. Will it be? He lifts one foot and then the other, walks round the platform. The onlookers rejoice with him. Now he walks around the auditorium. Hallelujah! 

During this meeting a woman began to shout and shout. The preacher told her to be quiet, but instead she jumped up on a chair, flourishing her arms about, and crying, “I am healed! I am healed! I had cancer in my mouth, and I was unsaved; but during the meeting, as I listened to the Word of God, the Lord has saved me and healed me of cancer in my mouth.” She shouts again, “I am saved! I am saved! I am healed of cancer l” She was quite beside herself. The people laughed and cried together. 

Here was another woman unable to walk, sitting on a chair as she was ministered to. Her experience was the same as hundreds of others. She rose up, looking around, wondering if after all it was a dream. Suddenly she laughed and said, “My leg is healed.” Afterwards she said, “I am not saved,” and streams of tears ran down her face. They prayed for her, and later she left the meeting healed and saved and full of joy. We have a wonderful Saviour; glory to His Holy Name! 

Out of many many miracles in Norway, I quote two taken from Pastor Barratt’s paper, “Korsets Seir” (the Victory of the Cross). A man and his son came in a taxi to the meeting. Both had crutches. The father had been in bed two years and was unable to put his leg to the ground. He was ministered to. He dropped both crutches, walking and praising God. When the son saw this he cried out, “Help me too,” and after a little while the father and son, without crutches and without taxi, walked away from the hall together. That word again is manifested; the same Jesus, the wonder-working Jesus is just the same today. 

Now Copenhagen, my homeland! During three weeks thousands daily attended the meetings. Each morning two or three hundred were ministered to for healing. Each evening the platform was surrounded. Again and again, as each throng retired another company came forward seeking salvation. Here many were baptized in the Holy Ghost. The testimony meetings were wonderful. 

Now I will close with a vision a brother had who attended these meetings. He was lost in intercession for the hundreds of sick waiting to be ministered to for healing. He saw an opening from the platform, where the sick were, right into the glory. He saw wonderful beings in the form of men resting who, with interest, looked on. Again he looked at the platform and saw a heavenly Being clothed in white, who all the time was more active than any other in helping the sick, and when HE touched them the effect was wonderful. Bent forms were made straight, their eyes shone, they began to glorify and praise the Lord. A Voice said: “Healings are the smallest of the gifts; it is but a drop in the bucket in view of what God has in store for His children. Ye shall do greater works than these.”Anna Lewini in “Confidence.”
